Also, the UX is usually awful.

I remember having to use educational software in college for a discussion board and it was terrible and sucky. I could only imagine what the teacher end of it looked like.

For a comedic look at how this affects teaching, the new comedy show Abbott Elentary has an episode on this. It’s like Parks and Rec but at an inner city Philadelphia public school.
Current DA looks to be Barry Johnson: https://www.co.mclennan.tx.us/282/District-Attorney

Not sure if he was the DA for this case.

*Yes I'm fully comfortable publishing a public link for a public official.
Nobody wants to be the one parent out of a thousand who has their kid scooped up off the street because they were letting their kid explore and be free.

Edit: Not sure why I'm being downvoted, this comment isn't a judgment on anyone or promoting any type of child-rearing philosophy. It's just an obvious truth. Nobody wants to be that parent, and that obviously influences behavior.
Dropbox was better. There was/is no need for Evernote to exist.
Not having the bootloader signed is a feature: If the company go bust, the customers can change the firmware and still use their chargers.

Having it signed would provide no value for residential customers, where the chargers ostensibly would be physically secured, and should in that case actually be considered an anti-feature.

It seems to me they just included that "recommendation" because they couldn't find anything else to write.
The US doesn't have a middle class anymore. People taking six figures are just higher up in the underclass. They are still incomprehensibly far from the upper class.
Domestic flights in New Zealand are incredible. Single X-Ray machine, toss your bag on the conveyor, and it goes through just as fast as you can walk to the other side. No body scanners, no metal detectors.
When you see RISC replace it in your head with "load/store architecture".

Like when you look at the SIMD implementations on x86 "CISC" machines they're all load/store based instead of register/memory based like on the scalar and x87 implementations.

This is what people mean when they say RISC has won.
Is querying the underlying SQL database officially supported in MLflow? Last time I used it, it wasn't documented. I took a look at the database and it wasn't end-user friendly.

Do you have a CS or EE degree? Are you based in the US? Are you willing to move within the US if so? Then you should be able to get an entry level embedded job with C, but yes you might have to learn or use some C++ as well. Embedded devices aren't as limited as they used to be so it's become common to have a full version of Linux hosting even real-time systems that were formerly bare metal or sitting on a minimal OS and written in C. With that change, C++ has started to enter the field more.

Look into the aerospace and defense industry in the US for a large contingent of C systems. Though greenfield ones may not be C anymore, there's a lot of C code out there needing maintenance too as they move to new hardware or add features.
Reason is a quality site picking out government overreach. Whether it belongs on HN is a separate question, but they're not some tabloid rag.
Glad to see Toyota breaking the trend of every past new generation of Prius looking worse than the previous one.
I'll be giving this serious consideration when upgrading my 2007 Prius.
I'm an American and my first reaction was "of course this happens in Texas"

That state has a lot of distortions and issues. The only "freedom" that exists is around ensuring the NRA keeps making huge profits.
That depends on if you use the 'VCS' menu commands or the 'Git' menu commands.

That menu changes depending on what the IDE finds in the project.

If its generic VCS, then you're seeing things like https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/version-control-integrat...

The git menu has options like 'manage remotes', 'merge', 'rebase', 'Reset HEAD' and so on.

Right clicking on the log in git log pane brings up things like Cherry Pick, interactively release from here, fixup, squash into.
I'm not sure if you're saying I'm lying, all I can say is I've spent plenty of time interviewing on the hiring side. If you don't believe me then what are we even talking about?

I agree that tech interviews are first about meeting a minimum standard and second about being one of the best choices among other applicants who also met that standard. I originally said I was "rejected after the tech screen" which matches your take, it's other posters who responded with "not passing" or "bombing." So you are disagreeing with them, not me.

As for "obvious," you implied that public code on GitHub or elsewhere would make it obvious. The fact that no one bothers to look doesn't change that, it just proves my point that employers aren't desperate to hire, otherwise they would make that effort.

It's also interesting to consider how much of a boost a candidate gets from having FAANG or other high-status items on their resume. Simply saying "JavaScript developer at Google" is demonstrably a stronger signal than "JavaScript developer at No-Name Corp" even though all your points about brief descriptions and team support theoretically hold true in both cases. Or, if the candidate went to a famous school, that would extend a halo effect even to the No-Name Corp entry. Quality is apparently more obvious in these cases, so your explanation isn't the whole story.
For non-AppStore apps like Lunar, I use the macOS SDK from Paddle.com. It provides trials, license activation UI, payments and checkout UI, both in-app and on web. Here's how I use it: https://github.com/FuzzyIdeas/Lowtech/blob/main/Sources/Lowt...

For App Store apps I have my own custom solution which uses https://github.com/IdeasOnCanvas/AppReceiptValidator to see if the app has been bought, and if it isn't, I have a time and usage based expiry logic. When the timer expires, I block key functionalities of the app and show this screen: https://shots.panaitiu.com/o6qnP8
That's unsurprising. It's likely the ticket from London - NY was $576 (often domestic legs are added on nearly for free, and on occasion even cheaper than without for reasons that I don't understand).
I would not mix up the UX and the underlying concepts.

The concepts are very simple. The UX on the other hand is at least "sub-optimal".

> I have a CS background and I don't even know what a Merkle tree is without looking it up, and I'm sure after looking it up I'd have to do more digging/research before it gave me a clear mental model of how git works. I'm pretty comfortable in git at this point - I know how to navigate the space of normal-ish states - but that came after years of exposure.

That's exactly the point that I've tried to explain: People make their life substantially more difficult because they never learn the basics. This way Git keeps to stay guess work till the end of days.

The theory behind Git may seem off-putting when words like "Merkle tree" come up. I understand that.

But actually it's something that I could explain to a 12 year old in 10 minutes…

Instead of looking things up people chose to struggle for years and years, without ever having any understanding about the "magic" that happens behind the scenes. But without the theoretical knowledge Git is not really intuitive, that's true. Coming up with a "plan" how to accomplish something becomes than a matter of black arts. But it really isn't! Git is very straight forward. Really. Just take the time to look up how it actually works. Everything (besides the weird APIs) will start making sense than.
Aside from the shoes and scanner thing (absent TSA-Pre) in the US, as someone who has traveled a lot in both Europe and the US, is seems pretty much a wash. I've had silly things like a bladeless corkscrew confiscated in Spain but I seem to have the same generally low rate of hand inspections etc. (usually related to having a bunch of cables/electronics jammed together in a bag) in both areas.
If you end up buying it then I recommend getting museum glass when you frame it - the picture is quite dark so it's likely to be too reflective otherwise.
LOTS of open source software in heavy industrial use written in C. The linux kernel for crissakes. Compilers. Web servers.

All those roles require deep technical domain expertise. That is the nature of C.
Mercurial's extension of changeset evolution is basically a safer, saner version of rebase and amending commits. Which makes it look like the extra complexity of the staging area in particular isn't actually necessary for their benefits.
True, the Productivity Porn people is the worse aspect.

It's about noting, saving, prioritizing, organizing every little thing. It's the "wake at 4am people, run for 30 min, meditate for 20min and drink quinoa juice" people. The ones that feel the need to be clockworks of effectiveness.

And of course, the more you automate something, it will start getting in the way after a certain point.
In the same way out-of-tree kernel modules are enforced to license themselves as GPL if they intend to use a lot (if not most) of the available functionality, eBPF programs fall under the same restrictions.

bpftool[0] allows you to see which programs are currently running in your system, their bpf asm instructions and whether they are GPL-compliant through `bpftool prog show`.

Of course, we still need companies to actually release the source code of their eBPF programs somewhere for the promise to be fulfilled.

Oh, sure. Me too. And then someone I trusted utterly fucked me over. Like six figure fucked me over.

So consider that your trust, your opinion, is based on the past, and you have no actual idea what will happen in the future, or tomorrow even.
Mercurial with the Evolve extension gives the same kinds of guarantees, but with much (much) nicer porcelain. Where Mercurial fell down IMO is being too dogmatic about not allowing changes to the history/making it incredibly painful to make changes to the history for way too long. Git's decision to allow it all to be mutable was better for large-scale use. Git also was able to get a critical mindshare mass via Linux and Github.

Staging is a feature I've never really understood the point of (why stage when I can commit by hunk instead?), but if it works for your workflow, great. Clearly it worked for the creators of Git.

The magic of Git (and other DVCS) compared to CVS and its ilk is the DAG and reasonable conflict resolution on merge/rebase/cherry-pick. Everything else is window dressing.
These people are really good at “dunking on you” on Twitter

Upon closer inspection, they’re full of s*t
"CPU manuals are often written clearly and relatively concisely"

Not always haha. I've seen manuals for some very widely used ARM SoCs that are just a few hundred pages of registers with poorly translated, one sentence descriptions.
Your kid is 3x more likely to be struck by lightning than kidnapped. Literally.
With Haskell, you learn to discover in a different way. Just think about the shape of the function you’d want, then type that into Hoogle. I learned Rust before Haskell, but prefer Hoogle to Rust’s searching via dot chaining.
I experienced a similar data loss, which was very impactful: I was at the "fast-forward" session of SIGGRAPH, making notes on what I wanted to attend. Somewhere near the end of the session, EverNote crashed and took all of the data in such a way that it was neither on my device, nor on the cloud. That was a deal-breaker.

I uninstalled the app and deleted my subscription.

These days, I keep my notes as .md files and they stay in sync using Nextcloud. I've been using this for ~4 years now, and it works great!
I have no problems with this email but many problems with his behavior. The ultimate authoritarian is clashing with what was a bloated staff that managed a product allegedly losing $4 million per day. There needs to be drastic changes. He is being extremely transparent that their culture and previous ways of working are changing and offering a generous package to people if they don't like what they hear. I agree with you that it's a recipe for burnout and anxiety and turnover, which has plagued his other companies.

Many things can be true simultaneously. Many of the Elon criticisms are valid: Cruel and puerile behavior on Twitter, shockingly bad product decisions that any associate PM would avoid. Many of the criticisms are unclear: dismantling of teams like "Responsible AI," which sounds like a navel-gazing college course, not an organization in a company. Many of the criticisms are stupid: Cutting free meals that nobody was eating, implementing return-to-office.
Technically superior is a very biased argument... A safe with a key is a very well established security mechanism with a pretty easily traceable chain of custody. Someone has to physically be at the location of the files to get the files.

Any digital record has a huge number of failure modes. For security you'll want to encrypt, when encrypted you'll now have another piece of data you need to secure and backup. You have to ensure the backup services are secure. If any of these become insecure how do you trace the insecure accesses? If it was accessed from overseas what do you do about it?

Criminal activity is common, but lets go with something that would be criminal in one country and not in another... This gets very messy with cloud services where some other government can request the information. With a safe you have to get the local government to sign off on a warrant.
Counterpoint: in the space/aerospace world, having embedded systems running tens of millions of lines of code is common.

These have many large software teams working together. Most software engineers on these embedded programs are just that: software engineers. I've worked in embedded for a long time and have never "physically" debugged or otherwise physically touched the hardware I work on. There's a lot to embedded systems outside of microcontrollers.
I don’t know why weed attracts Reddit-tier jokes.
The thing is that the US has much greater freedoms than Europe, after all, we did fight for them. It's every US citizens understanding that with greater freedoms come greater responsibilities to raise children to be future leaders. This can't happen if a child is mowed down in a driveby or if they accidentally trip over while walking.
I deal with similar worries every day (obviously not to same extent). I pick up one kid at school, then drive to after school care to pick up another. The second location also has a hockey rink and the zamboni drops their snow in the parking lot so there are snow piles 365 days a year. I let my 8 year old play in the piles while I go in and grab the other kid. I figure one day I will come out to someone wondering why this kid is playing alone.
He explains what those mean.

It's vehicles specialized on site-diverse way out of the city activities, like forest management and mining.

Well, I personally disagree on mining, but yes, those exist, and it's very likely they will not be electric.
>ARM ("Acorn RISC Machine") instructions are as absurdly many as x86's

Can you give the number of x86_64, ARM64 and RISC-V instructions? I didn't think ARM64 had 1000s of instructions.
> Elon knows nothing by bringing up RPCs

As best I understand the Twitter spat, he was claiming the client was making 1000 RPCs to generate the home timeline - hence it being slower in India where mobile internet is slower. Except the Android dev pointed out it was actually only 6 (IIRC) calls from the client and slowness had nothing to do with that.
Cost is literally another word for price - I'm not sure what you're trying to convey by trying to distinguish the two. When a battery manufacturer goes to buy a ton to lithium, the cost they have to pay has indeed increased 10x.

The price of extracting a ton of lithium from the ground may be the same, but it's not enough to keep up with demand. Which is why the cost of lithium on the market is skyrocketing.
Shameless plug but for the past 2 years we have slowly been working to replace Evernote with Notesnook [1]. Sounds weird to say "replace Evernote" when Evernote is absolute shit (no offense) but one of the main reasons we went this route is because Evernote did one thing right: It made personal note taking approachable & actually fun. Nowadays, a lot of the modern note taking apps (Notion, Slite etc.) are focused on the "enterprise user" i.e. they prioritize business focused note taking with features like collaborations, integrations etc. Private & personal note taking is no longer the hype which, in my opinion, is really sad.

I might be mistaken in my viewpoint however, of later I have noticed a huge trend toward providing user experiences that target a team workflow. Personal workflows are an afterthought, at best. For some tools this works out but for note taking apps I think it creates a huge void. Not everyone wants a thousands ways to integrate, publish whole websites, buy & sell, and create presentations using their notes app.

Yeah, no, I am not giving my notes to lock-in devil.
Everyone Should Know KPIs
""Is the child in danger in any way?" the response would be "No." and then hang up on them."

After informing them, that unlike childs walking outside, abuse of 911 is a real crime.
Imagine spinning up a whole Linux VM to filter some text.

In all seriousness though, is there a reason ripgrep doesn’t suffice?
> protectionist and defensive systems and is highly averse to any risk what-so-ever

... like masks.

But seriously, a lot of the same people that objected to the TSA madness also objected to the mask mandates.
I followed a similar path until I discovered Heptabase. Focused on speed like Obsidian, but the solo dev pushes out new features at an insane pace. They do this by focusing, so you won’t see a laundry list of features, and it’s pay only but well worth the money.

Finding your note taking app is like finding sobriety. Some apps work for some people but any given app is unlikely to be “the one”. My strategy was to just keep trying them until one sticks, because I know note taking is crucial for my success.
I do prefer Go over C in most cases and it's not like there are no pitfalls in C. It is just disappointing when a lang doesn't improve over time and have the same stupid problems year after year.
There’s a lot more for consideration. All that “NASA paperwork” covers things to ensure the design meets specific risk thresholds.

For example, human-rated system usually are a no-go with a single point of failure that can cause a loss of crew. If that does exist, they either need to redesign or get everyone to agree to the new risk assessment.
No one wants to be the weak link that gets their name blasted in newspapers when a kid gets harmed. Not that it would really be their fault, but the incentives are obvious to "play it safe".
What kind of Orwellian dystopia. To protect kids from sex traffickers, you lock up their parents, force them to perform unpaid labor, and then you convince them to confess their sins because they are terrified what the judge might make them do.
The check and balance part isn't working. Any decent judge should see this lacks probable cause. But judges are not impartial and instead side with the DA/police by default.
Its funny, because I see young-ish kids alone or in small groups walking around all the time in Brooklyn. Between 2:30 and 4:00 PM the sidewalks around my apartment are choked with unaccompanied kids.
Yeah that is kind of deranged. I mean physically out loud swearing at a thing due to magical thinking is slightly deranged. What's this intent you speak of? Can't you just not react but also not consume the ad? I would consider it a more higher ordered thinking thing to acknowledge that a thing exists but have the restraint to allow the thing to exist but also not affect you in any way that makes you react externally but also not react internally at said thing unless said thing was actively pursuing you in some way which an inanimate advertisement cannot.
> Earlier at the same event, CZ [said] the crypto industry “will be fine,” and there was “significant interest” in his proposal for a crypto recovery fund.

Oh hell no. I'd rather let crypto collapse, take the banks down with them, and bail out the banks again, than enable the creation of a second parallel class of wealth-extracting, economy-manipulating parasites.
Python has never followed semver. It's saner to treat minor releases as semver-major, and patches as semver-minor.
Because of all of these news of arrests, cops shooting someone unarmed, or people getting easily labelled as felons or sex offenders, US has become synonymous with "trigger-happy" (literally & figuratively) for me. Are people (and specifically cops) in the US really that quick to judge? Does it depend on the state? Or do these cases make the news exactly because of how outrageous and rare they are?
EVs usally burn worse than regular cars, their batteries are very hard to put out. In a combustion engine the tank is relatively small and easily sealed off from air supply, the same isn't true for the large batteries of EVs.
There are hundreds of "use AI to help you draft text" apps out there, and it really feels like a "feature, not product" category of thing. So I'm glad to see a larger player like Notion integrate this feature.

That said, every implementation (including Notion's, which admittedly I haven't dug into very much) seems to be same stale "predict the next sentence" interaction, which reminds me very much of the early web's "it's like a store, but online!" vibe. In the sense of "I built this because it was straightforward to build" and not "I built this because I think it best meets what users need". To be fair, building the former can be a prerequisite to building the latter.

But honestly, most writing comes in editing; where is the help for editing? For rephrasing, or for making text flow more easily, or for reorganizing an outline and having the text update to reflect that higher-level reorganization? Where is the support for finding other text you've previously written that might be appropriate?

As someone who writes a lot (granted, in an academic setting), "first draft" is definitely part of the process, but it's just one piece! I suspect that in a few years today's tools will feel like ancient chisel-and-stone implements compared with what will come online. Can we get there already?
> (caring more about the product and the craft than about maximizing profit).

Actually caring about profit is good too. Problems start when the people in charge care about advancement, prestige, status, resume building, or CYA.
That’s quite surprising to read for a note-taking application that launched six years ago.
My guess is they are referring to TickTick: https://ticktick.com/
Bummer, but at least it's described as a "known issue" and the fix appears to be in progress.
My (inexpert) view is that it might be the last ISA because a general purpose ISA will become less important. I see the cpu core as being more like a glue that connects together specialist hardware, so you have a wide SIMD number cruncher (like AVX) but probably off-core, likewise off-core compression (perhaps), encryption, graphics (already there really), prob matrix mult, all the fancy hardware for AI that's coming out now, possibly embedded prolog/logical deduction device etc.

So the main ISA will be little more than a distribution device for allocating tasks to subunits, and no-one will care how it's put together.

But I'm no expert.
wouldn't that not matter if you vow to never fly with them again?
> Someone who has made millions or billions is, on average, doing this by making life worse for many people than if they were not in the loop taking profits.

See the part where I said "all else being equal".
