Just live the life you want to, work the hours you want to. Make you and your own health the priority, and do work second. Let things fail at work, let projects be late and the answer as to why is "it was more work than I could do in the time alloted". Then, how they handle it will be the test as to if you stay, or find another job that respects you and your health. If they say ok, well add more resources then it's Okey dokey, if they say "nobody cares, work harder" find another job.

Oh, I love this.

Since you have a whole section on learning:

One thing I've noticed is that, at least on physical whiteboards, most people I've worked with weren't comfortable with their handwriting and drawing skills. Even when everyone agrees that "rougher is better."

For them I used to do a quick hands-on workshop back at Pivotal Labs. It was called "Whiteboard Hacking" (please don't judge ;) for which I also published a free small manual.

The manual with a bunch of exercises is still here for anyone who feels overly critical of their handwriting and drawing skills: https://publish.obsidian.md/alexisrondeau/Attachments/Whiteb... .
Emotions are real, but is it not the public responsibility to manage your emotions. Each person, solely, is responsible for their own emotions. If "emotional harm" becomes the basis for what speech is allowed and what is not then we cease to have a culture of free expression

“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what." -- Stephen Fry

You can not have free expression if the only thing required to shut down that expression is to claim emotional harm. I did not respect that position when it was the Christian right claim harms if gays spoke nor do I today when the authoritarian left claims emotional harm over the wrong pronouns

A Coming of Age for Longevity
I just finished watching Limitless in which Chris Hemsworth explores the different ways humans can live better for longer by taking on physical challenges such as diving in ice or climbing skyscrapers. I'm surprised to see how in less than a decade longevity advocacy has gone from a fringe topic to a mainstream movement. In a different way than I expected and hoped back then but maybe... the only way.
> means annoying gyrations trying to transfer links from one device to the next

There are alternatives to this, such as typing a code into the login prompt instead of following a link (which will be submitting that code). This does limit the size of token that can be used because it needs to not be too inconvenient for the user to type, but if the code's validity is sufficiently short-lived, and properly unguessable, this can be done without compromising security any more than it already is by involving SMTP in the process.

Of course the other problem with email-only password resets is that users often receive email on the same device they are trying to authenticate – so if someone has left a machine unlocked with their mail account logged in, an attacker can gain access to any site/app that uses this password reset mechanism. One of the reasons that email and SMS are not great choices for a second factor, and even less good choices for what is sometimes effectively the only factor.

Intel's "10nm+" (non-EUV) processors compete rather fiercely with AMD's "5nm" (EUV) processors. The latter are weirdly not 2x better, not even close, on any metric. Hm.
> ST are in France.

Yeah, about that:

"STMicroelectronics N.V. commonly referred as ST or STMicro is a Dutch multinational corporation and technology company of French-Italian origin headquartered in Plan-les-Ouates near Geneva, Switzerland"

The lengths French and Italian corporations will go to to avoid taxes and red tape in their home countries, it's almost poetic. Even Airbus is now headquartered in Leiden, Netherlands instead of it's original place of Blagnac, France.
Isnt that sell than half of what they were charging to repai$$$replace them before the recall?
>on top of the embarrassing emoji bar that they forced on users ("pro" users, no less) the whole time.

The touchbar was alright. Honestly I miss it on my newer laptop, largely because in apps that made use of it, it was a productive tool. Does your debugger use F8, F7 or F6 to "Step Over"? Which one is "Step Into"? With the touch bar, the icons were literally right there on the keyboard.

Ideally I would have loved for the F-key row to have oled backed physical keys that could change their labels on the fly, or barring that, an F-key row with a touch bar above it, but overall it was a perfectly fine thing.
Note that in FreeBSD, ping is sandboxed using capsicum, so the impact of this is rather low - you can get ping to crash, and send arbitrary packets, and write arbitrary stuff to the terminal, and I think that's it.
Surprisingly consistent given how verbose it is.

> there are laws and regulations preventing that you can be punished or discriminated based on what your parents do or done.

Preventing the state from doing the punishment, yes. But AFAIK there’s no de jure rule on private entities doing this. It may go against the spirit of our systems and societal norms, but it would not be against the letter.

It may, however, spur new legislation to subsequently ban the practice.
There are of course many marketplaces and interfaces that are not any harder to understand or use than OpenSea, and if someone doesn't do so yet, not being able to use OpenSea will give them plenty of reason to learn to do so.

> only a database server needs an SSD

Where did you acquire that (somewhat flawed) opinion?

I've been using SSD's since ~2009 and those early devices were transformational even on already elderly equipment. You can pick up a modern 1TB SSD with a SATA interface for ~GBP77.00. A price well worth paying for the increase in productivity and quality of life not waiting for spinning rust disks to do their thing.
But many journalists have crypto assets themselves? :)

Let's face it: this whole massive money pie appeared because (mostly educated) people started gambling thinking there's an easy way up. And they do so at scale because becoming wealthy nowadays is super hard comparing to, say, 50-70 years ago.
I would be, but for various reasons I'm not (yet).

Career so far:

2 Years

14 Years (various company name changes but the same work/office etc)

6 Years (moved from contract to permanent during that time)

If I can deal with the work and get paid "enough" I'm not too fussed but I have got to work with quite a few different teams/projects/technologies during that time.
Having a programmable sketch never occurred to me - it's a really fresh take.

As someone who loves working on paper to design the structure of a system, the conversion to boilerplate structure has always been a laborious structure. Any way to move from a drawn UML type diagram to a basic class structure would be an improvement.
Isn't that how regular internet forums work?
You say that your semantic search works best with short texts? What exactly do you define as a short text? Just single sentences, paragraphes or even a couple of pages?

Other than that, I agree with the other commenter that more complex demos would be great. For the semantic text search one for example, I guess it is limited to only return five results at most? Makes it difficult to judge, how many revelant entries it really found.
Now... i was also heavily bullied at school and at some point my solution was to show everyone of the "gang" (not in the US sense... more a clique of 13 - 15 year old wannabe-gansters) that i am total psycho. I waited for weeks until i got the chance to grab the main bully alone and unprepared, surprised him, beat him heavily while keeping total silent while doing so only to tell him afterwards in a somewhat calm way that it could be weeks, months or years, but i would GET him if he continues to harass me.

Worked for me, never had any problems with his clique afterwards.
I don't really understand this narrative, that the media are going soft on FTX or SBF. The NYT did do one soft-ball interview, to their discredit, but that was well before we knew the full extent of the wrongdoing and they've been pretty clear-headed since (https://archive.ph/AxB6G). Bloomberg has been very clear (Matt Levine, as you note, has been pretty scathing, despite being a former fan of SBF).

Where is this media that is trying to white-wash FTX?
Yes, testing and benchmarking is a full-time job! The extra issue here is making it work under a single client to minimise latency penalties across measurements, then, there is also a protocol issue.
Nice project with hash-db, I guess it is quite the learning experience(distributed-multimodal)?

> A free speech absolutist should attempt to preserve the opinions ...

Sadly framing opinions as opinions has been eroded by those who present them as facts (ie possibly lies) and those who believe lies are also free speech. The old maxim about not shouting "fire!" in a crowded theatre perhaps needs to be properly codified.
Certificate Transparency system requires certificates issued by CAs to be publicly reported, otherwise web browsers will reject them. Publicly reported certificates then can be monitored by anyone, and anything suspicious could be reported.
> vh was also invented to solve the height problem and it didnt. The current workaround still involves javascript!

Does it? `min-height: stretch` (expanded into `min-height: -webkit-fill-available` by autoprefixer) plus a `@supports (min-height:-moz-available)` workaround for FF seems to solve the problem, however inconvenient. That's what I've always used anyway.

Recently I opened an IRA account at Fidelity. I had my 401k with them for more than a decade. Soon after I opened it they locked my account demanding ID and papers proving my residential address. I'm not sure what else they may request, but fact is I can't use my hard earned funds at this moment.

I experienced similar locks at a bunch of other websites. It looks to be a norm nowadays to randomly lock accounts. Now if similar things start to happen to bank accounts and retirement funds it's easy to understand that it will ruin people's lifes.

Bottom line is - we shouldn't fully rely on electronic money. I will do everything to avoid living in a cashless society.
> I still have no idea how that makes the executables more legit :)

I think the idea is that if Apple finds you signing software with malware, they can invalidate your certificate, and then your software won't run anymore on anyone's mac. And you know that you will lose your certificate and have a hard time creating a new one if you sign malware, so you probably won't do it. You also know that by default, your users won't be able to run malicious versions of your software, so your reputation won't be damaged by stories of "I installed the Schipplock Frobnicator App and my machine got infected".

In effect, it's a decent system to allow other distribution methods than the App Store without opening the flood-gates for malware and trojans. I 100% agree though that there should be some obscure option to run unsigned software, it should be a system acting on behalf of the user to protect the user, not a system acting on behalf of Apple to control the user.
Choice highlights, indeed. Those were reactionary responses. She didn't cast the first stone. Read up the tread.
In roubles, for example.

Its not like those who are paid in roubles would have any use for any other currency. Everything they need can be paid for in roubles, turtles all the way down.

How did we outsource it? We still have semiconductor manufacturing in EU. It's just way behind the cutting edge, and not because it's cleaner than the one in US or Taiwan.

Semiconductor manufacturing is dirty business. I live in the EU next to one such fab and whenever local environmental concerns are raised about the fab, since nasty chemicals are sometimes found in the river the plant uses, the official response is always "the exact process is confidential, we cannot allow external inspectors inside, but we can pinky swear we conform to all regulations via self audits" and the government rolls with that as the unofficial response is "stop bothering us about the environment or we relocate production to Asia and you're left with a bunch of unemployed engineers and tax hole in your city coffers".
Actually, Europe is doing pretty good due to having a monopoly on making chip making machines via ASML in the Netherlands which relies heavily on Carl Zeiss in Germany.

Fun fact by the way, at some point Japan and Europe were very close in state-of-the-art semiconductor manufacturing while the US didn’t have the capabilities anymore because it was outcompeted by Japan. At that point, the US donated funds and 20 years of research to ASML since it was better than letting Japan win the race, according to Chip War by Chris Miller.
I recently read a survey which showed that 8 out the top 10 IT servicing / consulting companies had most of their technical staff in India. When you say multinational you might mean Tata, InfoSys or even IBM? Aren't there any internal transfer to overseas office opportunities? It miught greatly reduce your risks.
If you would have said " Invasion of Taiwan likely" that might have been productive. But this is not reddit, just making up "confirmed" is neither mature nor appropriate for a technical audience.

How this varies by economy, and varies from declared covid mortality will be a fascinating story. As a disease which mainly caused fatalities in the older cohort it won't have quite the same long tail consequences Spanish flu did on childbirth and social structure, but it will have some.

If the company is Taiwanese is there not still a concern with dependency on China and leaking of information. I realise it's important to have local manufacturing, but is this still essentially a "Chinese" company considering the disputed territory thing? Excuse my ignorance here about how such things work.
While I get your frustration not to see media organizations not reporting exactly like you want, it just won't change. Its still journalists who keep breaking all the stories on SBF. When we see all of Twitter & Youtube use NYT revealed facts to get a better understanding of the fraud I'm not convinced its a huge problem the tone isn't perfect.

Same thing happens early in crises, from the Russian massacres of civilians in Ukraine to Trump's Mar-a-Lago files we get some forms of facts but its the readers who have to draw some to all of the conclusion.
If they are "lightyears behind", and everyone on HN thinks that China will invade Taiwan in order to get chips, then why the ** is the US trying to cripple China's domestic semiconductor industry?!? Isn't this a self-fulfulling prophecy? If HNers are so concerned about Taiwan's peace and independence then why aren't HNers protesting more against the US' effort to cripple China's semiconductor industry so that China has no incentive to invade Taiwan for chips?

These questions are only half rhetorical. I really want to hear what people have to say about this.
If people have "uncovered a flaw", but there is reasonable expectation that the flaw is very widespread and broadly ignored, then there is a reasonable suspicion that the flaw is being weaponized in this case. This is why in many legal systems it is in fact a valid defense to note that the law you are being prosecuted under is not being broadly applied, implying state caprice and corruption.

I feel HN is not that moderated - bar - I don't feel like it happens that often that people's opinions get disappeared - Imo the main appeal of the site is that people of differing opinions are and worldviews are able to have informed debates about stuff here - even if limited to the world of technology.
Western countries don't have so much hardware, but they have much better hardware. Simply put, if NATO entered the war, Russian air force and land bases would get eradicated from safe distance, thanks to aviation and missiles Ukraine doesn't have.

Was that true? I believe that amounts to speculation by the security reserachers. Rachel said that at most there was shared incorporation services / early investment but that the CA has no legal relationship with other company doing malware. And any similarity of names on founding documents is purely speculation and furthermore no longer relevant since TrustCor executives hold all authority.
Thanks! In a way it's a mix of generative and manual art, I guess. It starts with gradients or noise. Afterwards it's layers upon layers of color mapping, filters, distortion, more noise, more gradients, etc. - Basically creating artifacts from lossy transforms/mappings/distorts/layer modes and then building those up again into an image. Rinse and repeat.

Some examples of things I made use of:

Colors > Levels. Mostly to get noise to go across the whole range from black to white, not just some in-between. Multiple iterations of reducing the output levels and then stretching those out to the full range again can create interesting artifacts.

Colors > Curves. Same as above, and also final processing. I used a fixed set of gradients (UIGradients) and usually changed them up.

Colors > Map > Gradient Map. Combining the above with gradient mapping, or combining it with noise can result in interesting artifacts as well.

Colors > Desaturate > Color To Gray. Adds grain, texture and contrast around edges. Lots you can do with that, especially by distorting the result.

Filters > Distorts > Kaleidoscope, Filters > Map > Panorama Projection, Filter > Map > Paper Tile. With the exception of the galaxy one, all the ones in the album are somehow the result of those.

I did most of these in 2019 when I was deeply burned out, and clicking around for hours was all I was able to do. It really was kind of therapeutic.

So yeah, I am really glad GIMP exists.

Personally, I only ever ask people to solve coding/problem-solving questions live. The best experience IMO is when we talk through the problem together, since this approximates what collaborating with this person on real tasks will be like - not very well at all, but about as well as one can do in the amount of time available for a live interview.

However, I do understand where the offline exercise idea comes from - it's not necessarily about lack of respect for candidates' time, but is generally done with the best of intentions in response to feedback, because candidates complain that the interview technical exercise scenario is needlessly artificial: in a live interview candidates do not usually have easy access to their usual tools or Google/Stackoverflow, and many feel pressure and panic from having to code/problemsolve live while someone is watching and feel they would do better if left alone to do the same thing for the same length of time.

Given the incredibly strong feelings either way, perhaps it might not be a terrible idea to let people choose which approach they prefer; but I've never seen any company's hiring do that, though, thinking about it, there really is no good reason why not (provided I still get to talk through the results of the offline exercise with the candidate during the live bit!)
