Layoff is a layoff regardless of whether you get fired over email, text or a personal call from the CEO saying how great you are. It was the latter for me several years ago and didn't sting any less.
Just a small comment on JavaScript and web: it’s perfectly acceptable to build websites of arbitrary complexity by just using server programming, say in Python/Django/Flask and HTML5. I find HTML5 as a valid substitute for JavaScript. Not everything could be done in HTML5, but perhaps things that couldn’t be done, shouldn’t be done anyway.
A suggestion for those who do not have time to write: record yourself.

use the time when you commute, when driving, when walking the dogs, cleaning, or anything ritual you're doing on daily basis. just tap the recorder in your phone and start talking about topics that bothers your mind during the day.

I'm maintaining a recording diary, and I'm talking about everything. It's helping me to be more confident on some ideas I want to share with others, to be more prepared to arguments with my wife, and to understand better myself - what I'm thinking about situations, why I'm doing things that I don't like and what I can do about that.

You can as well use it as retrospective analysis. we won't remember 99.9% of the things we did in our life. those recordings can help you in few years, you can extract the data from them and have a easy way to listen / read things you've said 1-2 years ago on some topics and see how you've evolved since then.
Yup can confirm, after a decent contribution to a known apache project, had three well known companies reach out, two of which the engineering manager was the one reaching out.
Debs was 64 when sentenced to 10 years in prison. He likely would have died there if Harding had not commuted his sentence to time served. As noted, Debs eventually passed from health problems developed while imprisoned.
After that there is unemployment insurance for a while. They'll be fine.

I have found general anti-war comments I have made here and elsewhere online to be unpopular. If WWIII starts, its likely that comments against participating or legitimizing it will be flagged here on HN.

The thing that people should understand is that wars are strategic. Any moral justification is just propaganda. The paradigm is "might makes right" and has been for millennia. The American Empire is a great example, and the Chinese Empire that comes after it will be the same. But that will be even shorter-lived than the Americans because AI will probably take control soon after. On a large scale, humanity operates at a moral level similar to that of ant colonies.

iSCSI gotta eat some of your CPU (you're changing "send a request to disk controller and wait" to "do a bunch of work to create packet,send it over the network, and get it back) if you don't have card with offload, it also might kinda not be fast enough to get the most out of NVMe, especially more in RAID0

And, uh, just don't keep anything important there...
Having hired hundreds of engineers, it's the same feeling on the other side as well: The recruiters will tell you that nobody wants to switch jobs around the holidays, so you shouldn't even try. Odd.

> name a big up and coming director

Villeneuve! Bladerunner and Dune were both beautiful and highly stylized, and his work is enough to sell me on Cleopatra and Rama. Yes he's also in his 50s,but at least that means he's getting huge budgets to do what he wants now.

Wes Anderson is a similar story, though he's been doing it for longer because his films don't need as big a budget. Most people I know would go to see "the new Wes Anderson" sight unseen.

Although I haven't seen his earlier acclaimed work, Bong Joon-ho certainly does not seem to be at "the tail-end of his career".

I think the reason these directors are all in their 50s is that studios aren't willing to trust younger directors as much, but that just means there ARE up and coming directors in their 20s and 30s who are making low-budget short/art films, who have not yet found public appeal.

Expanding to TV series, Alex Hirsch is not technically a director but his name is a major stamp of quality assurance.

Edit: Ari Aster is 36. Jordan Peele is 43 but just beginning his directing career. Roger Eggers is 39. Damien Chazelle is 37. I'm using age here as a metric for being at an early point in their career.
Garbage. I'm looking for marketing/communications/social media work. Those industries aren't really hiring right now, and despite changing/improving my resume/cover letter three times now (with help from a hiring manager friend, and a career coach), I'm still not getting any kind of non-automated response. Been searching for 6 months now.

Strangely, I had one place basically self-flagellate at how bad they were at their response time (again, in an automated response), and never followed up again.

I feel like part of my problem is that I worked in an industry previously that inflated my titles. I'm applying to entry-level/associated positions with "Director" on my resume, mostly because I'm trying to upskill things I didn't get to learn, in an environment where I'm not managing the whole department.

It's disheartening to see LinkedIn say "Yeah, want to see how you stack up against the 100+ other applicants?"
> Musk wants 20-25% of the workforce remaining to run Twitter.

Engineering is cut down to about ~10% or less in many areas. A friend of mine told me their group is down to ~10 from 155 after 2/3 being laid off and about 90% of the remainder rejecting the "hardcore" ultimatum.

I'm expecting a lot of the non-SF facilities to close and those people to be fired as well. They should have considered geography more in the layoff, but because he had a bunch of Tesla goons deciding who to cut instead of people who know the business or HR professionals who know how to plan workforce reduction it doesn't seem like geographic distribution was considered. But it's certainly not economical to operate many office locations designed for hundreds with only a small fraction of that number still employed.
This is exactly what my gardener did. One day someone went to my home and started mowing it. I watched. After 4 months of free mowing, he started doing my hedges. I started to talk to other people in my house: "hey we should hire this guy". My wife said "wtf for, he is free? right?" Eventually, I was worried he would start doing free work somewhere else so we hired him - but not for much. He is a great gardener. /s

I have two accounts. This one, “soneca”, that is my first one and most active by far, and another one that I use sometimes mostly for Show HN and few comments.

When I searched the other one, “soneca” was the first guess, with 0.4.

But when I searched “soneca”, the other one was not in the top 20.
You can already buy these cells in home sogens starting early next year.

Hmm, that wasn’t my intent. I see this tool as a recommendation engine more than a doxxer. By “signal to noise ratio close to infinity,” I meant that if you visit one of the bolded accounts, they’ll probably sound a lot like you.

It’s one of those ideas that makes the tool substantially more effective, yet never would’ve occurred to me. It’s like the simplicity of pg’s “a plan for spam” algorithm: deceptively simple, but (like scrubbing dishes with fingers) works really well.
Same. Long term vs short term.
"If halt can be implemented by using .length that means you can reduce .length to halt."

This is true.
The condition is false (halt cannot be implemented by using length), thus the implication is true, regardless of the implicant.
What algorithm is being used?
Pretty much the exact same. (I do have a throwaway account but I rarely use it and it probably hasn't been used enough to qualify.)
That seems like a reasonable verdict. I wonder if the software company tried to argue that there would be additional costs associated if the deal really took place. Support, upgrades, etc.
This is very self pitying
Well, that's actually me. I do a lot of stuff on this list. No shame, I'm in upper management.
Bluetti (maker of sogens) will be using these cells early next year.

I would rather Amazon focus on elimination of Counterfeits and Fraud, not enforcement of FCC protectionism
Thank you for pointing this out. I added a note about this.
That's why you manually evaluate the matches. And like I wrote in that comment, I did that manual eval, and these clearly are alts of that main account, not spurious. Narrowing down the pool of accounts you'd need to do this kind of manual evals for by a factor of 100000 is a pretty significant change in capabilities.
This is not true at all. If anything they had to tighten their belts to compete with the price dumping Huawei and ZTE were engaging in.

I get the strong impression that many (most?) of the people fired from Twitter are just like the overrated person described in the article.

People love to act like Elon is some sort of mouth-breathing man child who stumbled into the CEO position through nothing but luck and connections.

Meanwhile, if I was to take over a company that's made up of thousands of developers, the first thing I would ask for is examples of the code written by those developers.

I played a little bit with it and it is baffling how well it finds accounts of people that know each other in real life. So it's not only good for finding alternate accounts but could be used to find peer groups.
Not uncommon for large landowners to be on friendly terms with local politicians and law enforcement.
I once saw a true-up scan on banking software come up with a million dollar bill. Turns out the software ended up on the new starter form and most mangers checked the box in case it was needed but nobody realised it was 5k a seat. I would also be suspicious that the reason for the scan was due to the vendor getting wind that they were being replaced. With the contract being iron clan and no leverage the bill was paid.
Using in part is perfectly fine because for the Russians, the war was completely ended due to labour action. They owe their war's end to that.

Was it the right decision, or did it end up losing more lives in the long term? Whole other discussion.
At the same time, HN doesn't let you delete comments.

Maybe with some GDPR magic.
I agree with most of your points, even though I never felt unsafe in Budapest during the 3 months I spent there, including many many long walks after midnight.

I picked Budapest as an example because it's a well known international destination with very high level of walkability, great public transportation, and affordable prices.

Prague and Krakow are two other similar options in Central Europe, only much less "weird" (and, as a result, a little more "boring").

There are also plenty of pleasant and affordable cities in Southern Europe, such as Valencia and Porto.
Yup, a lot of software is (was?) written with assumptions that mattered with spinning rust. And even if author didn't intend to, serial code generates serial, dependent IO.
Cool stuff, thank you for sharing your findings!

I don't do throwaway. I either post or STFU. I also STFU on darknet. Its why I found it fun to read/lurk on things like I2P back when it was new. And I know that on a pseudonymous account it is only a matter of time until it can be linked to another pseudonymous account. It would not surprise me if stylometry was used on Dread Pirate Roberts or the people behind The Pirate Bay or the people behind Wikileaks (Assange's sockpuppet accounts). Such can also have been used to verify afterwards instead of beforehand. Though with TPB since it was on clearweb an advanced adversary could have used correlation/timing attack to figure who wrote what.

I'm having fun times recognizing other Dutch people though their usage of English language. For example, a distinctive word I see Dutch people use a lot is 'oke' instead of 'OK' or 'okay'. Its a red flag the person is native Dutch. I wonder if there are stylometry tools available for figuring if someone used physical vs touchscreen keyboard (I used Glider to write this post, spellchecker unavailable).

And yes, organizations like secret service and police should use such tools as well. It is a known tool, why not use it for good? As with any tool, it can be used for good and evil. On HN this could be useful for the mod team (AFAIK nowadays only dang) to find banned people's sockpuppets. Cross-community could also be a fun project: find a HN user's Twitter or Reddit account. And I hope this method is also used to find Russian trolls on social media.
I don't think eula,Tos and appstore/marketplace rules should prevent or restrict you from publishing or using software for any device but software and device makers have every right to make it difficult by making choices like apple and objective-c+swift or people using vmprotect to prevent their software from running in VMs or be debugged/decompiled.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. All I see are a lot of CVEs.
Very cool. I have a similar project I’ve been meaning to build to use a Playstation controller as a wireless analog joystick for an Apple ][, also using digipots like this project did. I have the components but am procrastinating soldering the tiny SMD digipot to the breakout board just like shown in this article.

> I'm fascinated by this. How does one do this? Two options I can think of are being independently wealthy and being dependent on another. Are there other ways to accomplish being so comfortable with, "eh, gonna be unemployed another 4-6 months and see what happens"?

In my case that'd be:

- living in a relatively affordable country (Latvia), where rent and other expenses aren't too high
- having an okay income by local standards, e.g. I make around 2000 Euros after taxes, which is in the upper 10% of salaries locally https://www.algas.lv/en/salaries-in-country (many earn more)
- saving and/or investing for many years now, I have about 37k Euros saved up, which isn't much for someone in US, but with monthly expenses between 500 to 1000 Euros, they might last me from 3 to 6 years (though less in practice, due to inflation)
- having additional factors that make things easier, such as sharing a residence or living with parents, having solar panels or one of those energy efficient homes if in the countryside, having reasonably affordable ways of heating if in the countryside (e.g. firewood with central heating), not having too many subscription services and so on

But then again, I live a fairly frugal lifestyle: don't use expensive cloud platforms for development (though I pay for JetBrains tools), only occasionally get video games (or other entertainment) on sale, don't have a car and routinely save about 50% of what I earn, if not more.

For people with higher living standards than mine: probably earning more than I do, even relative to their expenses.
All words have the same weighting. I don't ignore stop words, in fact most of the ngrams I use are compromised almost entirely of stop words. Maybe it'd be more effective if I ignored them.
Apple does this with email forwarding aliases on your phone; I can sign up using a generated Apple relay, which then pushes to your main email. I don't like it that much, mostly because you're still kind of locking into the Apple ecosystem, though.
Ruby and Go both adopted extensively from Python, but both rejected the process described in OP of designing a language by iterative experimentation to determine how coders would experience design choices. Instead, each relied on the judgment of a handful of experienced insiders. "*I* know which parts of Python are good and which suck; no need to run my ideas by a few dozen coders before committing to them."

Perhaps not coincidentally, neither has displaced Python. Go obviously had powerful backing from Google. I believe Ruby had enormous tailwinds from the need of the Java community c. 2005 to find an interpreted language, but not one with as mature a community as Python's was at the time. Ruby was at the sweet spot of "usable, but with plenty of niches left for alpha geeks looking to write blog posts."

Finally, I hypothesize the Amber-Brown-batteries-included and walrus-operator kerfuffles demonstrate the limits of managing infrastructure such as Python with the RFC / Usenet model.
>lobbyists at ring, nest, and amazon getting an early christmas gift

This has no impact on sales to the consumer market for Video, the covered list [1] limits the ban to "the extent it is used for the purpose of public safety, security of government facilities"

Ring, Nest etc are used for personal home and small business not likely covered under that ban, and the people buying Hikvision as an example most likely are not the target consumer of Ring devices. Hikvision is / was popular is commercial segment of professionally installed products, I know of zero professional installers doing commercial deployments of Ring. Companies like Axis however do get a boost as Axis is often many times more expensive than Hikvision

Its true that amphetamines are legally controlled drugs in the US but in many circles (ie undergraduate college) they are widely available. Its well known to the point that the Alameda CEO could tweet publicly about regular amphetamine use.

My point was that, whether you call Japanese law “ban” or “strict control” its much harder to get strong stimulants there. I believe you can even get in serious trouble for bringing sudafed decongestant from the US since its not legal there.
Your actual limitation when the site is full is usually the utility transformer. Tesla have been installing many 8 stall and even 12 stall sites with 750kVA pad transformers.

If they had a Tesla Megapack as a buffer for example the transformer wouldn’t be the bottleneck as the output is greater from the Megapack.
Yes, that is a good price, but AFAIK all the US prices are quoted without taxes, to make them seem smaller, unlike in most other countries, so with taxes included I assume that the real price is about $400/kWh, which matches the price that I have found meanwhile for a similar battery in UK.

Therefore, the current price for Na-ion batteries is only 3 times less than LFP (the endurance and lifetime are claimed to be about the same for Na-ion and LFP).

Still, this price ratio of 3 remains a significant difference and it is very likely that in the future the price of Na-ion will decrease at a much higher rate than the cost of the mature lithium-based batteries, when more manufacturers will begin to make Na-ion batteries.
The indie web is dead, long live the indie web (2019)
Yeah, I have a bunch of bolded mutuals but none above 0.45. I think I have had one or two alts in the past, but probably they didn't make the 10000 word threshold for inclusion (nor can I remember their names to check if they work in inverse).
So Pinterest is kind of a window-shopping app, but initially it was for craft, design, and DIY ideas. Pinterest as an outlet for grey sweaters is called Etsy.

I stopped using the app a year or more ago because ads took over half of my feed. Videos auto-playing, inappropriate ads that caused me to not feel comfortable browsing the site in public, and while not directly the company's fault, the click-bait "You'll never believe these hacks" links. More ads and monetization done poorly will finish the company off, not save it.

How to save it, I'm not sure. One place for improvement might be to clean up the dead links that have accumulated over the years. It gets old when you find something interesting, but the thumbnail is all that's left of the article.
I learnt two things from that book: passive income is awesome, and spending money on status is rubbish. Those two things seem trivially obvious, however coming from a background of being an employee, I didn’t “know” them.

I credit that book with helping me become financially independent - now living on passive income from a business started 16 years ago.

If you learn one valuable thing from a book, that makes a book valuable, I think.

I don’t swallow some of his modern pondering such as this one on the economy, but neither do I dismiss his opinions just because he wrote a “simple” book. I find his outlook interesting, and I generally agree that something is turning to shit. I don’t think that means avoid all equities, but it does mean selecting equities that don’t crash if the world economy burns.
I do the school run (3 hilly miles each way) seven times a week on an e-bike - a Tern GSD. It’s fine. Our kid loves it and so do his friends (we share lifts). We do have a car but I haven’t driven it since August.
I think his point is that you can choose to go to jail for contempt rather than answer anything. If your sit in jail long enough, the world moves on and your testimony is no longer relevant. That’s when a judge releases you (i think).
