Having the world believe you have nukes is nearly as valuable as actually having them.
Combat isn't the DoD's mission. It's one of the tools to achieve the DoD's mission of furthering US interests.
That's basically what I was thinking. That project is somewhere around 750 lines of Python (between capture, analysis, and dashboard). While hypothetically that would showcase my skills, I doubt anyone would parse that much code. On the flipside, toy projects fail to demonstrate ability.

I'll give this some thought. Thanks for your help.
Bsp, Npt, goop (yuck!), and teflon tape are all inferior to Swage. Cold weld and reuseable but it is a trade in itself to fit and bend to place.

Working in labs on fluid and vacuum lines (<1in diameter) this is the way.

If only it wouldn’t cost as much as the house in fittings + tube to hardpipe stainless fittings on our water supply lines.

I stayed in a hostel hotel in Munich, DE with hard piped bathroom water lines. I was impressed and think they must have been in service for 30-50 years.
You miss the point. If there is an object the size of a baby carriage in front of my car, I am going to avoid hitting it if at all possible. It doesn't matter what I think it is. It might damage my car if I hit or, or make me lose control (if the front of the car rides up on top of it), or possibly even deploy the airbags. But I am not going to even think of any of these things while driving -- I am just going to avoid hitting it. Tesla is unable to do that and I don't understand why that is ok with anyone.
You'd fall under the deployment category. The "sexy" part of ML, designing the models, is done by the PhDs, then you clean up their code to help make it production ready.

In America laws like this are sidestepped by the manager coming up with a sufficiently solid reason to fire you. Suddenly nothing you do will be good enough, and good luck proving in court that it was. Huge hassle.

(Narcoleptics like myself have a somewhat unique perspective on this topic. I imagine other people with disabilities might have similar stories. But narcolepsy is a tricky one because it’s not very visible, and the optimal strategy is to conceal it as long as possible. I remember wandering around the streets of Chicago during my lunch break looking for anywhere to catch a nap, collapsing on a bench, then getting yelled at by some random security guard to leave.)
Yeah, decorators were a mistake. I don't want any in my code or my dependencies.

This is reminiscent of my suspicions about hybrid on-site/remote working environments: unless a critical mass is remote, those employees are generally at a serious disadvantage. Left out of impromptu face to face conversations, etc.
It's worth checking that "obvious" advice works in different populations because it doesn't always.

For instance African Americans have high blood pressure at an elevated rate and many of the medications that work well for other Americans don't work well for them. It's important that this population gets studies about treatments that work for them.
Funny... I'd have said that snorkeling is among the best ways to spend time in the water. The cool life is near the surface anyway, and requires zero training.

Scuba lets you get closer and it's wonderful to feel the true 3D freedom of movement. But in terms of sight seeing snorkels get got 90% of the joy for 1% of the effort.

Ned's spot on. The single thing that's kept me from joining/participating in Mastodon is the lack of clarity around which server I "should" join, whether I should start my own server, or if I join someone else's server, how portable is my content/profile - can I export it all/import it all into my account on another server easily, or is that a lot of work, or even not possible at all?

The AI models don’t have access to reality, so insofar as art needs to be motivated from physical reality, it breaks down until they do. For example, if humans were to start modifying their bodies in a novel and counterintuitive way, AI models would never capture that accurately if it’s never really been depicted in the training set.
I've been following up your progress and I'm so impressed with your commitment to open-source, the swiftness of your execution and the quality of your software. This is the start of a revolution in KYC which has been plagued by closed gardens.
…as long as you don’t penetrate a wreck, dive under ice, or dive in a cave. Since a roof severy decreases the chance to survive if something happens and you need to surface.

Also, of course, tech diving, typically below 40m, can also severely limit the ability to emergency ascend to the surface without injury.
The no loss of productivity can be a combination of multiple things:

a) There is loss in productivity but it isn't (or can't be) properly measured or does not make an impact on the business, e.g. a help desk responds to customers with 1 business day rather than 4 business hours.

b) People are more motivated (including it being a novelty) so employees are eager to work harder in their reduced hours to ensure they can continue a 4-day working week. If this becomes the norm after a while you may see this slack off.

c) Lots of people are doing busy-work or "bullshit tasks" which do not actually affect business productivity or are simply just looking busy and procrastinating, e.g. office workers browsing Twitter, Reddit or HN for a short time every couple of hours which is eliminated.

It highlights saying "don't confuse activity with achievement/productivity".
> The court – the highest in the French legal system – also outlined various "humiliating and intrusive" practices promoted by Cubik Partners including simulations of sexual acts and the obligation to share a bed with a colleague.

How does that reasoning not apply to being forced to endure all sorts of unsafe working conditions? "No thanks, I don't drink" would earn demerits and maybe get him fired, just like "no thanks, I don't walk above vats without guardrails".
I had several gigs on a freelancing website, but nothing beyond that. I do, however, believe that I could easily land a junior position.
It is perhaps evidence that the subjective "it sucks" opinion is meaningless. Code is not art. Commercial usage means a lot.

And if someone calls PHP a joke, but then personally chooses it for themselves, there is certainly some inconsistency there.

Ask HN: Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Goog employees: Have you changed as a company?
This fits my priors at least — reused beans generally aren’t great, but cold brew is pretty resilient to less-than-stellar beans.
There have been a bunch of these companies. We started one company in 1999, which we eventually moved to San Francisco. We built sticky notes which were stored together with a cash copy of the website on our servers. So one could collaborate around the notes in a corporate environment. Funding dried up in the dotcom crash, so we went home again. (An interesting side note to that was that the CIA wanted our stuff to build something for the presidents office, but decided against it, probably for security reasons. At least I got a trip to Washington DC out of it and meeting CIA CTOs or equivalents. Interesting times.)

Other companies built public note systems. I think I have seen another four or five since then that have tried to make a business around sticky notes in websites, but nothing seems to… stick (ahem).

People seem to want to give internal feedback to the content team on PDFs or in emails.

One of the original browsers, maybe Netscape, had comments on pages, but it got removed early on.

Edit: added note about CIA.

If the coffee grounds were left at room temperature in the basket or device since the previous brew, wouldn't they be home to bacteria and maybe other unpleasantness? I'm guessing immediate cold storage of the used grounds would be necessary. I'll stick to fresh, on-demand grinding.
Interesting, thanks. With hindsight, would you have chosen 60% again, or gone with 80% instead?

My tentative plan is to get promoted first, then step down to 80% - that way the pay cut is even smaller relative to now and with a bigger tax saving.

Aside from the other concerns mentioned, I'm currently working on "what would I do with an extra day per week" - which is a deeper lifestyle question and not at all related to work, but still very important for getting the most out of this change.
The automation part of this one seems nice, but does it really need those "everything" perms (EDIT: on Mastodon)? If it does, some copy about why it needs it, how much information is stored, and how you can revoke it would be appreciated before pulling the trigger.
If human labor is so expensive then why do unskilled laborers have such trouble making a living?

You're ignoring the middle ground, because that's the thing that was destroyed. The expert potter is still in business selling bespoke products to millionaires.

It's the one who might have done it for 15% more than the mass produced product who is gone, because we added on top of that so much bureaucratic overhead that the final price ends up being 100%+ more instead of 15% more and that exceeds what ordinary customers are willing to pay.
Hey, thanks for sharing! That was a lot of effort to type all that up, with references to boot.
I wonder if he could sue them for workplace emotional and sexual abuse. I would argue that pressuring employees to do anything sexual is abuse.

Imagine if your boss pressured you to marry his son. How is this that much different?
Would there be any value in a GC'd language where you had the option to explicitly call do_gc_now()? Is this functionality already out there and just not popular? I haven't spent a ton of time in these languages, so forgive the naivety. Again, naively, this seems like it would be a good compromise between what GC offers but near-determinism when you want it.

I guess Rust and C++ also "pause the world", it's just predictable when it happens. It seems kind of arbitrary in some ways, like maybe I don't want the "world pause" at the end of this scope. There are ways around it obviously, but you start language-wrestling at that point.
I'll have this printed for when I become a bum
Oof. This article is horribly painful to read. Tl;dr: it's exactly what you'd expect. Weak and not as tasty. Cold brewing it might work best. Less than half the caffeine of the first extraction. Don't let wet coffee grounds stay in the counter overnight to gather mold and bacteria before reusing.
My bad had another feature that is WIP, I forgot to lower the permissions on Twitter!
It only need read access for twitter as for Mastodon it need write in order to follow users.
This is amazing, well done
Ultimately Redis just stores bytes, there's no reason you couldn't put arrow formatted data in it (or in Olric, as I understand it).

I do wish plasma wasn't dead/dying though. There is a huge gap in the (extremely crowded) key-value store space for zero-copy shared memory IPC. I assume it doesn't get built because it's not very "cloud native," but such a thing would be undeniably useful.
> Is this functionality already out there and just not popular?

Yep. Node.js has this for instance (you have to enable it with a command line flag, but it's easy enough to do). I imagine most GC languages have a similar option.

Do you mean Project Manager , or Product Manager? What you described as training a few devs sounded like Project Manager. If so, I agree. But a product manager's role is different. And you are right - it's about competitive research, domain expertise, customer interviews, and a product vision.

I have not seen a single product manager do the project management details in my 25 years of product/eng career.An engineering manager typically does that. I now run my own startup, and empowering engineers to define the product does not work. You may get some interesting and nice features, but you won't get a cohesive product that solves for a domain with decent usability. You need a PM/UX pair for any nontrivial product.
They're also likely repurposing the factory/component capacity to start manufacturing the next generation using their new XTrans V sensor (the X100V uses an XTrans IV). I'm an X100V owner and the camera lives up to the hype. I'll probably preorder the next one.
Twitter didn't really bug me (since I'm moving off anyways). I think it was the Mastodon ones that made me think twice:

I’ve been using Nix for a few years and really like the direction of devenv. I much prefer the Nix model over containers everywhere.
No, we say the US is secular because it's in the constitution
Most systems don't have a nice, clean, linear relationship.

You did a reductio ad absurdum in one direction, let's do it in the other: if hours worked directly translates to productivity, then we should be able to add more hours and continually get more productivity. Why not add Saturdays and Sundays back in? Then we can go to 10 hour workdays. Maybe 12 hours?

Even aside from the humanitarian arguments against this, it should be obvious that there reaches a point where the marginal return for additional hours is negative—where adding extra hours reduces total productivity.

Experiments like this are designed to find out where that inflection point is, and the evidence that's coming in so far suggests that the inflection point is somewhere below 40 hours. More research is needed, but that's exactly what is happening.
The X100V's autofocus is good enough that you don't need to zone focus. I doubt most people use it to zone focus tbh.
Thats why for me, I want it. It increases my days off by 150%. I’d gladly take a 20% pay cut to have proportionally far more free time
> [...] what is the value of a computer science or software engineering degree in 2022/23, in my case?

This is what I tell my two daughters who have both opted to not attend university immediately after high school:

To an employer, a college degree conveys the fact that you are capable of setting a multi-year goal and actually achieve it.

While this seems trivial, it is remarkable how many people think they CAN do this, but when put to the test, cannot.

Aside from very low-skill specialized jobs at the lower end of the labor pool, employers need people who may not necessarily or likely already possess all the prerequisite skills at the time of hiring, but can set and achieve long-term goals, especially those with externally/extrinsically defined requirements, such as graduation requirements, or job requirements.

Can you get a job without such proof? Sure. But, will having proof help validate your claim that you possess the skill? Absolutely. And, despite what many think, there are plenty of people who do not possess the skill, and those people cost employers in both time, money and other resources, so employers look for ways to mitigate the risk of hiring them.
Nope, I am making a point that plenty of languages have as goal to compile to C++, Eiffel was only an example from many others I could have chosen from.

The way Herb Sutter tries to sell Cppfront, versus all those other languages that have backends capable of generating C++, is exactly that, as ISO C++ chairman he is trying to portray Cppfront isn't like the others, given his position.

Hasn't as it is, he would use the same terms as the Carbon and Val folks.
Just an FYI, while Nim has arrays (which are fixed-size) it's far more common to use sequences (dynamically-sized arrays).

I am planning a Show HN thread where I explain how to best experience twitter - use the HN search for "twitter" or "musk", sort the results by date. then only read and reply to comments on HN, DO NOT click through to the clickbait.

this is the most constructive way to experience twitter, you get the features of HN, with slightly less toxicity, without playing into the social media trap ( assuming HN is less harmful than the big socials)

Perhaps true, but resolutely pretending homelessness cannot be the result of drug addiction doesn't work, either.

And I never said "all" homelessness was caused by addiction. It's 90%, at least in Seattle.
I don't know why you're being down voted, but you're right.

A diver doesn't just "run out of air". A diver gets low on gas because they failed to look at their gauges, and/or didn't plan properly.

It can happen that you get a free flow on your regulator, inflator, valve or manifold, but none of these make you run out of gas immediately. You have time to swim to a team mate and breathe from their regulator (if you are on a single cylinder and can't close any valves).

If you have a valve rolling-shut (implying you're on a twinset), you _will_ run out of air until you open it again, and you would be trained to calmly open it, or just switch to your secondary regulator.

Running out of gas can be prevented by planning the dive and keeping an eye on your gauge, depth and timer.
> working in a company with such an attitude was going to change me

As a person who witnessed and interacted with many people from such companies - your gut was right.

> I see a system where excellence isn’t rewarded, and instead, gaming the system, is the most profitable

Well, it is like that in any structure with enough bureaucratic levels.

> I’ve thought quite a bit about this problem, and one thing which might improve it, is a bidding system, where historical project “on time, under budget” is a weighted factor in contact awards. Maybe that’s how it works today?

Nope. That's would make papers to be signed on the date, but the actual work would just continue - because the work wasn't completed on the date. Been there, saw that, didn't got even a lousy t-shirt.

The main problem here is what "under budget" is a moot point in the first place - if the project demands N money, then doing it under less than N money means one of:

1. the budget was calculated incorrectly in the first place. Maybe there was some kickbacks included in it?

2. the budget was calculated correctly, but the implementor did cheap out on something to have a bigger revenue of the project. Maybe cheap ass chinesium parts instead of mandated approved parts, maybe outsourcing/outstaffing to people who takes less than a market value.

So both the time and budget isn't ... valuable metrics for gauging actual performance, especially if something changes on the way - imagine bidding and winning some project what relied on a cheap Huawei gear before the current situation?

You could think what relying on completing the projects objectives/targets would be a meaningful metric... see about signed papers up there.

And the most wonderful thing of that is what even if you do everything on time, on budget, with A+ quality - nobody would say "Yeah, that's good, here is your money", everyone would try to find a anything, however minuscule thing it would be, what would allow them not to pay you money, all of it or at least a part of it. It's like people are paying from their own pockets for these projects.
I don't understand why one needs to emulate a virtual machine to run a container. Why do you need a kernel? Why emulate physical devices, interrupts and everything else? Why cannot one run a container as a protected mode application?

I suggest you look at the latest iterations in No-Code/Lowcode Personal DBs, like https://www.getgrist.com/ (not the backend type like supabase)

You will have more flexibility and control over your DB Schema and Data. However, you will certainly loose most media-cataloguing related features.

> visually customisable.

They do offer some customization; you will have to see if it is enough for you.

> record notes for each item catalogued.

More than That, you can add any field you want (multi select…)

> provides CSV importing

More importantly, some provide Merge on import. So your can keep your Goodreads/Letterboxd (Social/Mobile...) and periodically merge them with your DB.

> automatically retrieves cover art

Some do have open APIs. In any case, you can write short custom python scripts for your needs (API or Web scraping), and use the merge function to update your DB. This will of course work for any metadata out there, not just cover art.
Thank you for this great summary!

A minor suggestion: groups are so tight this year that global goal average could be useful, maybe in parentheses after the points ?

Octopuses are interesting because they are so different from the mammals, yet are somewhat intelligent. The visual system is good but very different.

When you get addicted to drugs, you lose your job, your friends, and your family. And wind up homeless. I've seen it happen. When "60 Minutes" did a segment on the video I cited, they wanted to prove it wrong. They came out to Seattle to interview homeless. They couldn't find one who didn't become homeless after getting addicted to drugs or alcohol.
You can often do this, although some runtimes treat it only as a hint and may ignore it (usually what you want). Go has some pretty strong guarantees on how long it will stop the world for, which makes it much less of an issue. But the best pause is still no pause, which means no GC.
