If you took a shit-pile of code I was involved in, I could intelligently discuss the code, why it is as it is, the history, the f(possible) future, and overall have a good discussion around it.

This “code printout” talking point is just… obnoxious.

I hire this way - I don’t care about a coding interview, I care about how you think about my your work and your ability to speak to it.

I have yet to see concrete evidence of malfeasance here and yet… the circle jerk continues.
I've had numerous heavily subsidized Lyft and Uber rides, and it was pretty great. I'm currently a member of WeWork All Access, and it is pretty great.

Edit: I think I misinterpreted your review as glowing, but it was just stating your experience. The towers not working is pretty sad. It reflects the company operating in la-la land though.
Google does "leap smearing" which seems like the best human solution to this problem:
https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/time-technology-and-...

standardizing leap smearing algos and constants could work

-Bottom layer is atomic clock seconds
-We define targeted relationship between current UTC and atomic counter that will occur on a given day and time X
-Time is interpolated to drift UTC into place by the given day and time X
-Standards body can adjust time on some regular basis by its relationship to the atomic clock and publish the algo to convert from atomic to UTC
Um, actually it's Xtreme
> Something I can insert money into, which solves a more expensive problem.

Right. I would argue that "public cloud infrastructure" is such a product; GCP/AWS/Azure specifically. (See below also) Kubernetes enabled the existence of EKS/AKS/GKE all of which I believe are considered successful.

Separately, TensorFlow enabled Azure Machine Learning, TensorFlow on AWS and Google Cloud TensorFlow Enterprise, and generally expanded (IMO) the market for IaaS.
> Step 2, finding the employees, not so much.

All FTX needs is one or more people on the "outside" (who used to be on the inside) that they trust in case something like this happens.

Those people would be the "hackers" that took 1-2 billion out after the bankruptcy declaration.

Then, anyone who gets a slap on the wrist or whatnot, even if they have their assets clawed back, knows exactly who to call when they're in the clear.
That's the thing... Tesla and SpaceX were revolutionizing electric cars, batteries and launching humanity into the stars.

Show HN: Browse the first web site as if from the first web browser
I adapted the stylesheet from TimBL's WorldWideWeb/Nexus browser to CSS[1] and then applied the style to a mirror of the first web site at info.cern.ch.

The result is that you can browse the first web site as it would have appeared in the first* web browser!

[1]: https://git.sr.ht/~tweedy/WorldWideWeb-style

* Ahem, technically...the stylesheet is adapted from the final version of Nexus (2.02, June 1994). However, the stylesheet was largely consistent throughout the lifespan of the browser.
I use albums pretty heavily. Never really missed the ability to create folders.
Then let's skip the leap hour too: just let UTC and UT1 diverge up to 86400 seconds and compensate that by changing the time zones when needed. Then, when the drift reaches 86400 seconds, the clock times are aligned again. At this point we just need to re-align the dates too, and this can be done by skipping February 29 on a leap year (which should be quite easy to implement in software).
I think Nix could be leveraged to resolve this. If the dependencies aren't perfectly matched it downloads the _different_ dependencies, but can use any locally downloaded instances already.

So infra concerns are identical. Remove any state your application itself uses (clean slate, like a local DB), but your VM can functionally be persistent (perhaps you shut it off when not in use to reduce spend)?
No it isn't. It's an algorithm using rough sentiment analysis and god knows what else to judge your tweet, unaccountably and invisibly. "I hate mondays" I tweet. Whoops! Tripped the "negative tweet detector" and my tweet is deprioritized!

No problem you say, let's just tweak the detector to let that through. So you're going to write exceptions? What happens when "mondays" becomes some sort of code word for racial epithets? How do you detect that? This has happened before, look up what happened to r/clownworld.

This is straight up an unsolvable problem. You need human labeling, which is what a dislike button accomplishes.
That's true, which is why I explained why I think he's making smart moves.

Maybe he has departed from his usual trajectory towards success, but at this point (given his history), the burden of proof falls on the people who think he's lost his mind to explain precisely why they assume they know more than he does.
Are you talking about binaries compiled for bare-metal embedded? In such cases you usually simply do not have `std`. And how do you think dynamic linking would help here? If anything, it will make total size bigger since compiler will not be able to perform dead code elimination.

When people talk about big Rust binaries they often forget to strip debug information. Doing it can easily shed half of the binary size. And there are other relatively well known ways of reducing binary size (such as strategically using dynamic dispatch instead of monomorphization, using abort for panics, compiling with opt-level=z/s, etc.).

RipDB – Decentralized Key-Value Store
I built RipDB a few months ago for a hackathon project as lightweight, decentralized alternative to traditional SQL databases, would love to hear your thoughts! A bit about the motivation below:

The SQL database is a powerful tool unrivaled for storing and querying relational data.

BUT, I believe most dapps can live without a traditional SQL database in favor of something more light weight and decentralized.

Here are some problems with setting up a DB for your dapp

1. There are already many great services which index blockchain data (why reinvent the wheel?)
DBs are expensive to host
2. Migrations are often a pain
3. DBs tend to be centralized / treasure troves for attackers
4. They usually don't give users provenance over their data
5. Encryption / key management is a pain
6. Many web3 developers choose to store their data as JSON directly on IPFS rather than a traditional DB, but IPFS upload times can be slow and gateway timeouts are brutal.

If a traditional DB seems overkill for your use case and interacting directly with IPFS seems a bit too slow, RIP might be for you.

It gives you the speed of in memory-cache (Redis) but the decentralization of a global network (Filecoin + IPFS), with some other goodies like encryption.
Private companies still have stock and it tends to be a big part of their compensation.
I'd probably get thrown off by such a basic question too.

For the moment, the Pixel phones are the largest family that supports an independent ROM that implements VoLTE.

A vast swath of LineageOS supported devices have been retired for this reason, and Pixels are the largest family remaining.

Oddly enough, if you want control of a device that minimizes Google's influence, then you probably want a Pixel.
There has been a proposal in the 1950s to the UN by a German mathematician to replace the current calendar by a decimal-based system, in which leap YEARS are not needed either: everything would be divisible by 100. I can't remember where I heard this from, but the anecdote goes he got a reply saying thanks for the proposal, but it is not feasible to introduce such a massive change globally, irrespective of the proposed improvements.
Can’t find the source, but I remember reading that Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam used to play dice baseball with one of the Ramones while on tour.

He's not trying to save or run the company. He's a liquidator with an unimpeachable reputation. From the instant he took over that distance became an ocean. I think he's just genuinely aghast, Enron was at least "clever" about their fraud, SBF and accomplices were brazen.
Why would we ever need a leap minute? Just let time zones drift. Unless you happen to be at the exact longitude for which your time zone is correct, the sun's not at its highest point in the sky for you at exactly noon anyway.

Eventually, thousands of years from now when time has drifted by an hour or more (assuming modern technological civilization even still exists by then), each jurisdiction can just change their time zone's offset from UTC, without coordinating with anyone else. Jurisdictions making time zone changes is a well-understood situation that we already know how to deal with.
Also, many of these problems work the other way too. Instead of forcing somebody to ask clarifying questions, ask you to describe at a different level of detail, etc., you can ask ahead of time. "What level of detail are you looking for here? I can talk about it at x level, but if you want y level, Susan is more knowledgable" or "I've been thinking about that too, but I don't have a lot of well formulated thoughts on the topic. If you'd like, we can talk through some of the more half-baked ideas I've been kicking around and see if we can get some clarity together" or simply stopping every so often and asking "Is this making sense? Did I gloss over anything important that we should revisit?"
Google Cloud launched in 2008, but subproducts within it launch all the time. I don't use Google Cloud, but presumably some of these must have been successful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Cloud_Platform#Timeline

Google Home/Nest is 2016 and has been fairly successful.

Google Fi is from 2015 and still seems to be going strong, I use it and am happy with it.

Chromecast launched in 2013, I think that has to be considered a success.

> This has nothing to do with Wikipedia. My contention is that Wikipedia is not for "speech" at all, of any kind.

This is exactly my point - "speech" in this context means the exchange of ideas, not taken literally as making sounds with your mouth. So perhaps my point would make more sense if you s/speech/free exchange of ideas/

Without a free exchange of ideas, how do you form a consensus of what is or is not fact?

I could argue that your NY reference is indeed free speech in that you are making a statement of fact or opinion in a public forum.
If you are building for an embedded board, you don't need to follow the defaults; you can enable the flag to dynamically link to Rust's standard library, and the main disadvantage of doing so (that Rust's standard library doesn't have yet a stable ABI) is not an issue when you're always rebuilding everything.

Sounds like your town has a government/mayor that really wants to look good to their peers (other municipal/small town mayors and city council members) rather than serve their population. Those types of buildings get features in all their stupid trade magazines, etc. And then the gov officials use them to hobnob with each other.

My bet on the Chinese books is that it's one of the librarians' special interests. It's not uncommon to have some % of the buying budget set aside for staff recs (that allows for some inclusion of things people may not have known they'd like), and if the system is small enough for one person to be doing all the buying, she might have overspent on her interests.

The cynical answer would be that the librarian wants to have the books so she can write an article on foreign language collection development and angle for a job elsewhere: Very few small town librarians grew up in their small towns and it's a very gentrified profession. She might be angling for a position at the VPL or TPL systems.
> We don’t ever, ever want B players on an A team.

Define B players.

I've hired engineers not because they are the most amazing coders, but because they are amazing at finding out what is wrong organizationally and then making the needed friends to help move things along.

I've hired engineers who are catalysts for making other engineers perform better.

I've hired engineers who wrote solid code, at a reliable speed, but whom I wouldn't describe as "brilliant". I could assign them a feature and know they'd hit the deliverable date +/- a day, every single time.

Sure I had rockstar 10x engineers, but it takes all types, and focusing on "amount of quality code churned out per hour" is only going to work in certain organizations at certain times in a company's life.

Lumis and Gillibrand's proposals went from being considered for omnibus insertion to DOA. The people who write the coming rules are not going to be friendly towards industry.
Edit: OK, just re-read some docs, looks like POSIX chose the worst of all options and decrements the timestamp experiencing the same second twice...

Wrong info from before edit: Unix time doesn't change either, it's the number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, though systems may or may not ignore that and set it to match the UTC time.
What (and why) is DAO DAO?
What I tried to explain is that this is not really about other universes. The logic applies even if our universe is the only one. It is about the amount of seemingly arbitrary assumptions we have to make for the theory to explain our universe.
Using git might be hard as well if you hadn't done any actual development in the last 15-20 years. Understanding Twitter's codebase without having worked with it all would be a magnitude or two harder.
You have the anthropic principle: you can only observe a universe that produces observers. More specifically, if a universe existed that is full of dispersed hydrogen, we wouldn't be there to observe it. The universe must be fine tuned in some way, not just the constants but the very laws of physics. But this is an undecidable and therefore unscientific problem.

The reason scientists want our universe to be "typical" is that the more we can generalize our findings, the more we can make predictions. For example if we can find an equation that gives us the cosmological constant exactly, we can get rid of it as a free parameter. Not only it is philosophically satisfying, but we may also use that equation to find something else, like a new particle, maybe even a practical application.
Work on the software is very difficult to judge. In a company I worked for, only very technical groups get an A+ grade in the internal evaluation, because the evaluators don't understand anything. If you worked on the FFMPG + some obscure acronyms, get an A+ and never delay the delivery.
But if you worked on a website, everyone would get in the way, delay the delivery, and you'd get a D-.

I understand the difficulties of judging and some crazy systems created to help with that.

But checking how many lines of code someone writes is more than crazy.

My last tasks as a developer in the last few weeks.
- I created an index
- I put a line of code in a login controller to fix a bug

A lot of my work is helping co-workers with setups and stuff like that.

In many companies, my work did not leave a record. I don't stand a chance with bosses like Elon Musk.

Musk is probably testing the developers' fidelity, and if true, he's crazier than judging someone by code line count.

I'm glad they saved us from that ridiculous terminology. It reminds me of Futurama, where every-freaking-thing had to be some pun or weak reference.
how is B taken?
Isn't Kraken using the same metaverse auditing firm that is mentioned as being unknown in this exact document?
Probably exactly that. Looking for devs who used an if statement instead of a ternary operator. Not realizing that its sometimes really fucking useful to have readable code.

Or the opposite lol, it's all subjective anyways.
One correction: "moving" has nothing to do with it, crossing world lines does. Space ship flying at the speed of light (well, close to it) is also following its world line, so its clock is not "worse" or "better" than the one on the Earth. They both show "proper" time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_time). When the ship starts to accelerate that's when its time becomes skewed. Also times at two different points of space are not comparable as there is no way to synchronize them, it depends on observer's speed. So "all clocks that are at rest" _always_ show different time if they are not at the same spot (well, they may show "the same" time like a stopped clock shows correct time two times a day).
Some Thoughts on Mastodon
I've gotten the impression that a lot of people at high levels get there through a kind of self-perpetuating prestige cycle, often starting at an elite school and jumping between high-prestige jobs from there. The measure of success is not what they've done (which is mostly taking credit for other people's work), but what it looks like they've done. Starting a big-name company matters more than whether that company goes belly-up five years later. The people who end up on top are the ones who get extra-lucky and capitalize on it.

A recent example from tech is Adam Neumann (the WeWork guy) who came up with an absurd business model for commercial real estate, led a widely-ridiculed IPO, and lit a billion dollars of other people's money on fire. A couple years later a16z announces they're giving him a third of a billion dollars to fail again because (paraphrasing from memory) he was the only person who made a profound effort to transform the real estate market.

You can also see smaller-scale examples in media. There are New York Times op ed columnists who have been wrong about everything for decades, but they keep getting invitations from talk shows and universities and publishing companies because of the prestige of being a NYT columnist. But a big reason they're still a columnist is because of all the prestige they get from doing that other stuff.

It's a circular process, and it seems to be hard to fall out of unless you fail publicly and catastrophically. Sometimes it takes multiple such failures. These people all run in the same social circles, which probably also helps. I suspect an awful lot of elites would fare poorly in a real skill-based competition for their official jobs, and consciously or unconsciously act to prevent such a culture from developing.

I don't know any of these people personally, so take this with a large grain of salt. But in the case of Musk, it's clear to me that nobody who spends that much time being a flamboyant asshole on Twitter can be getting any real work done, much less running 2-4 different companies at a time. His real job is prestige development. I'm not sure he has anything in his playbook that doesn't rely on a pre-existing desire to work with The Great Elon Musk and his Great World-Changing Companies. Like many elites, when forced to focus on his official job, he is mediocre at best.
>Having illiquid shares in a company that has already gone through most of its growth is completely unappealing.

There are lots of reason to own stock besides speculative growth. Taking part of profit as dividend is the most obvious reason.
As I understand it, nobody holds stock anymore, because he took the company private. He bought everybody's shares. So whatever portion of employee's comp was equity, that's now zero. Elsewhere, I saw somebody estimate that to be around half of twitter employees' comp -- I have zero confidence in that estimate, but it doesn't sound unreasonable.

And while they might get a lump sum for whatever equity they held, that's money in the bank and no longer a carrot.
I'm not sure we're forward looking or modern? We have no trains. Sprawl. Won't build housing. A third of the country seems to believe we should aspire to be in a Margaret Atwood novel.
Why would top performers stick around after being told they’ll be forced to work long hours without any benefit? It seems like only the desperate would stay. From what we’ve read the majority of those who stayed did so because they are on visas, meaning they would be deported if they left the company.
I don't consider that clear at all.

Lots of development jobs involve doing work that isn't flashy, showy or even cool. Does the lack of flashy, showy cool stuff mean it's of less value? Almost certainly not. There are other reasons why a specific developer may not be "pulling their weight", but a bunch of code excerpts is about the least likely way to discover them.
While you might mean the NOVA classification, the vast majority of people have never heard of that, much less read it. As such the original question still stands because most people have no idea that any definition exists, and in any case if what they mean happens to fit that, well that is just coincidence.
I'm pretty sure UTC is monotonic too, its unix timestamps that really are the true mess
Why bother? A calendar year is 365.242 days long... time is already off by about 3/4 of a day the year before a leap year, what does adding a second here or there really do?
Who do you figure can’t be allowed to get deposed and by whom?

Madoff was politically well connected and it didn’t save him in the end. Donating money in one cycle will not save SBF. Your idea that Democratic electeds and regulators are consistently loyal (to anyone, including large one hit wonder donors) doesn’t square with my experience. If anything Dem politicos have an opportunity to show their independence by pursuing Senate hearings and similar public fora of investigation because they have nothing to lose going after this broke man.
I agree, we definitely have more fundamental connection to a human voice than other instruments.
> Some news reports indicated that Bankman-Fried was still somehow involved, or "assisting", or something. He's not. He has zero authority at this point.

https://pacer-documents.s3.amazonaws.com/33/188450/042120648... indicates that SBF continued to have de facto control over company assets even after resigning on November 11, which I would absolutely say fits the definition of "somehow involved."

Given that so few of FTX Group's digital assets have been secured, per the OP... it would seem to be unknown how much ability he continues to have to access the company's digital assets.

> In addition, in connection with investigating a hack on Sunday, November 13,
Mr. Bankman-Fried and Mr. Wang stated in recorded and verified texts that “Bahamas regulators”
instructed that certain post-petition transfers of Debtor assets be made by Mr. Wang and Mr.
Bankman-Fried (who the Debtors understand were both effectively in the custody of Bahamas
authorities) and that such assets were “custodied on FireBlocks under control of Bahamian gov’t”. The Debtors thus have credible evidence that the Bahamian government is
responsible for directing unauthorized access to the Debtors’ systems for the purpose of obtaining
digital assets of the Debtors—that took place after the commencement of these cases.
Ha, thanks, but you did a great job so I sent it to many folk who have been sceptical or nonplussed on the topic.
