Filling out staff roles at FANG? Not at the FANG company I work at. I’ve never met a single boot camp person, and absolutely zero staff engineers are boot camp grads that I know of, unless they scrubbed it from their LinkedIn and never talk about it.
von Neumann wasn't a lone genius, he was a god, the only "human" completely beyond the bounds of our comprehension. Accepting that is the first required step to understanding his contributions to the modern world.
You would definitely need to control for domain.

A Rust library for some sort of mathematical modelling might well need no unsafe at all, while a Java library for controlling some hardware might soon turn into JNI talking to some C++ code and oops you're unsafe.

In C# you need to reach for unsafe to do some of the stuff Rust can just do safely anyway. Did you know a C# struct with an array of 8 ints in it, doesn't actually have the eight ints baked inside the struct? It was easier in the CLR not to do that, so they didn't. Which means C# structs which look like a compact single object that surely lives in a single cache line don't actually do that in safe C#. You need unsafe.

Raph Levien posted a retrospective about using CRDT’s for collaborative editing in xi-editor here [1]. His conclusion is

“I come to the conclusion that the CRDT is not pulling its (considerable) weight. When I think about a future evolution of xi-editor, I see a much brighter future with a simpler, largely synchronous model, that still of course has enough revision tracking to get good results with asynchronous peers like the language server.”

I recently advertised a role and had over 2000 applicants (yes, really). The vast majority of applicants went through bootcamps. Personally, I'm fine with that, heck, I'm Head of Engineering and I'm a university drop-out i.e. didn't even complete a course!

One thing that irked me was bootcamps that have clearly told students to mark on their CV that they were somehow employed at the bootcamp. When I'm getting 50+ applicants who are supposedly employees of the one "company" it immediately rings alarm bells and de-legitimises the whole thing. My advice to candidates, don't do it. Well, my other advice to candidates is cover letters, cover letters cover letters. No seriously, cover letters! When I'm getting 500+ candidates who have completed a bootcamp there's next to no way for me to differentiate between candidates based on CV and a few example projects on Github (though, yes, you should include those).
That was a product of a bubble of 1970s liberalism that was open minded towards sex between adults and young teenagers. It was an intersection of the 1960s sexual revolution, and the 1960s trend of treating kids more like adults (e.g. Tinker v. Des Moines)—but prior to the #MeToo era focus on affirmative consent and power dynamics. They simply couldn’t understand the backlash against Polanski.

For me, that Z80 and the ability to experiment CP/M became the whole point of owning the C128 in 1985. By '86 I'd moved on to a Kaypro 1 (which I wrote my first and last bit of assembler for: to drive a daisywheel printer), and later started building XT clones (running DR-DOS, of course).
What I'd like to have is an app that allows me to easily select specific vocab that I want to learn (with flashcards).

Essentially, I would pick "cooking" and get a list of vocabulary, sorted by usage/importance that contains all the words that I need for "cooking" such as tools, ingredients, techniques and so on.

Or the same for traveling, hiking, cycling, ordering in a restaurant, buying a house, ...

That would be super useful.
While I agree the posters comment felt entitled, it should be possible to pick up and make a SwiftUI version of the app fairly quickly.

I assume the developer went for electron due to familiarity, but it would be a pretty good exercise for someone to port it to SwiftUI and native Swift for the front end.

I would do it myself but sadly am bound by other clauses.
They're certainly owed something for the horrendous lack of effective response by the police agencies. But .. $27 billion? Even in aggregate it's highly unlikely the agencies are insured to that level. They'll never collect, and the only winners in this will be the attorneys.
Literally no parent thinks “What I really want is a union busting school.” That’s not even a top 10000 concern.

Did I send my oldest kid to a charter school? Yeah, for one year. It was a bunch of Teach for America grads that warehoused the kids in front of computers for hours at a time, no PE, and sent kindergartens to detention. (Wtf?!)

So why did we choose this school? One reason: All day kindergarten. We had no idea how bad the school was actually run until like a quarter or two into it.

Fuck Rocketship Schools.

I've hired quite a few, and generally speaking they've all turned out great. Having said that, the volume of resumes that come in to the ones that I've actually hired is vast. Myself and my recruiters have probably sifted through 10,000 bootcamp resumes per 1 hire. You have to be ruthless about who you actually talk to.

Another tip would be, don't interview a bootcamp grad for mid-level jobs.

Switching to powder has done a lot for us in getting dishes cleaner, and we can dial in the amount of powder needed for the particular soil level of a load.

The fact that it's cheaper per load, and the box fits more neatly under the sink are added benefits.
That is impressive because it seems like they're eating the 30¢ from the transaction, which is annoying when dealing with microtransactions like your 1 dollar example. But I'm sure due to their market position they make back that money manifold.
> I still lose about 35% of them. A combo of firing for lack of ability and the devs getting upset and leaving when promotions and raises come slow.

I've had similar problems. We've had some bootcamp grads who were good to work with and acknowledged that they were still very junior. We've also had some bootcamp grads who felt entitled to mid-range to senior compensation after their first year, while still getting their bearings on basic developer work. It's hard to explain that, no, I will not give them a raise to match what we're paying people with 5+ years of experience after their bootcamp promised them $200K comp after a couple years in the industry.

>Edit to add: given Mediatek certs appear here, and given all the vendors linked to this have shipped low-end phones based on Mediatek SoCs, it wouldn't surprise me if it turns out Mediatek were the source.

This implies that all the affected vendors shared their private keys with Mediatek. Why would they need to do this? (Genuine question, I don't know much about firmware. But it doesn't seem like it should be necessary at first glance.)
Not sure what to make of this, but Austen, who is normally a prolific tweeter, hasn't tweeted about this yet [0].

I have gotten used to CEOs tweeting apologetic stuff when this happens. Perhaps this is norm should be bucked? I don't know. I just note that Austen is going against the grain.

EDIT: missed this: "In a now-deleted tweet posted earlier today, Allred quoted a prior statement of gratitude for employees pushing through the work despite being attacked from all sides, adding “even more so today.”

There are so, so many cases like this with modern chemicals. Air fresheners in office bathrooms being another major “ghost” aggravation is another one.

In general I low-key proselytize the practice of removing excess stuff from air using HEPA and carbon filters to make a space smell better, rather than adding even more shit to the air (candles, scented sprays, etc). Also the benefits of using “free and clear” products. And using just water or water+soap with a rag to clean countertops/surfaces rather than weird chemical disinfectants that leave a microbial-toxic film of chemicals on the surfaces like Pledge.

I personally use marijuana-growing carbon scrubbers to clean my home air, see TerraBloom products. It’s made a massive difference for my family.

The mafia will make billions by paying an army of crazy homeless people to feed garbage to the radioactive zombie rats and then charging the government to remove the rats - which will somehow end up in Mexico in dead government informants.

The NY government will then get in on the racket and make capturing radioactive rats illegal without possession of one of three rat disposal licenses that are auctioned to the highest bidder each year on condition that rat feed be purchased from the NY government, and any proceeds be split evenly with the MTA — which still spends $49 billion a year on overtime despite no workers, riders, subways, or buses having survived the initial nuclear strike.

Mastercard handled the transaction. Stripe only handles the on-ramp into the ecosystem. Once the money is in crypto, Stripe loses the ability to influence what happens to it. 3rd parties lose a lot of traditional options to shut people down, that part of the crypto promise seems to have held.

To pick on just a single thing: this article highlights a handful of eye-popping figures for per-student spending in larger districts, but it never actually establishes that these comparisons are meaningful.

NYC, for example, spends an extraordinary amount per-student on paper. But a lot of that is pension obligations and other spending that (1) can't be cut, and (2) costs less in overhead in larger districts. It's not clear that other districts uniformly include their pension contributions in their student funding numbers.

Edit: To qualify: from casual searching, it seems like a lot of municipalities include teachers as a bucket in their larger civil service pension budget line.
Great, thank you. Look like there’s already a GH issue: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/issu...
What exactly is wrong with school choice and religious schooling? I went to a private religious school for K-12… no violence, no teenage pregnancies, and I ended up at a top research university and in solid career. My parents weren’t wealthy and used whatever money they could find to keep me out of a failing public school system and I am grateful (although not religious, which they don’t appreciate too much :)

Why shouldn’t parents be allowed to take their child’s portion of the property taxes we all pay to go to the school of their choice? Why is choice acceptable in almost every other aspect of society, but not when it comes to K-12 education?

The answer is entrenched interests - teachers unions wanting to protect their earnings, time off and pensions… bureaucrats protecting their power and pensions… and of course the anointed who think they know better than everyone else how other people’s children should be educated.

Vouchers are the answer. Convert all public schools to parent-teacher coops and let them compete in an open market with charters and private schools… some will be selective, others will be lottery, others still may give preference to locals… the goal would be for the failures to be removed from the system so something better can take its place. Have states set standards, but then let the people roam free.
Honestly I completely agree with you. Even though the wpath standards of care for transgender people clearly shows the benefits outway the potential downsides, and those downsides haven't even been proven to exist yet due to lack of data; I don't think it's fair to children to force them to grow without hormones for years. We should really be allowing trans children to start hrt much sooner, that would deal with all the potential problems of puberty blockers

In theory parents gain access to a better school to enroll their kids and bad schools bleed enrollment. It's not a magic solution to under-performing schools. And when it does deliver results it does so by undermining the "public" part of public schools. It increases time and transportation costs. Some parents prefer that the local school be improved instead of replacing it. Alternatives like charter schools use selective admission. When you don't have to accept disabled, non-English speaking, or misbehaving kids it's easy to show higher test scores, graduation rates, and post-graduation outcomes. This leaves the public schools with the bottom of the barrel students. The death spiral is complete once public schools no longer enroll a cross section of the area they serve and only function as a welfare service.

Everyone wants the best for themselves and their kid. That means buying housing in the best district they can afford. Once they're in they don't want lower socioeconomic status people to move into their neighborhood or the district to annex poor areas.
> They are staffed by arrogant, pompous bureaucrats lording over their little fiefdoms.

This is fundamentally the problem, and is unavoidable in large organizations. As a bureaucracy grows, it becomes more concerned with perpetuating itself than working on its purported mission. You see it in large companies, large nonprofits, large churches, large governments, and large school districts to name a few.
Only if I sideload their apps.
Dear god no. The proposed cap is on 10k students, which is roughly the size of one high school with its feeder schools (we're talking about breaking up large school districts, so individual schools are going to be on the larger side). That's not something on the level of "this is going to create inefficiencies" so much as "this is going to utterly destroy things."

The problem with hyperlocalism is that, since the number of constituents is so small, one angry person with a megaphone can throw a race, letting them act as a petty dictator. There's already too many petty wannabe dictators running around school board meetings right now, and encouraging more isn't going to help things. Of course, I assume this is entirely the point, which makes me wonder what the author's failed crusade against his large school district was about. Transgender bathrooms? Critical race theory? Litter boxes? Teaching evolution?

(Also, I take issue with the characterization that the largest school districts tend to be the lowest-performing--my experience, looking at the list of largest school districts, is that they tend to be, well, average.)
> One thing that irked me was bootcamps that have clearly told students to mark on their CV that they were somehow employed at the bootcamp.

I've seen this, too. At some point, everyone coming out of certain bootcamps was an "instructor" rather than just a graduate. I suspect one of them is running a scheme to have their own grads teach their own classes for reduced tuition.

I second the cover letter section. GitHub goes a long way, but it needs something unique. I know exactly what projects are taught at local bootcamps because they're in every single bootcamp grad's GitHub profile. Show me something you worked on by yourself.
A kind of motte-and-bailey, I guess.
I’m coming from the other side of things. I was a non-programmer with a programming passion that used programming as a part of my work voluntarily, but didn’t know the first thing about the kind of programming that companies hire for.

I took a coding boot camp when I decided to leave academia to join industry, and it was a useful primer on the “in” technologies that folks would be hiring for, and of the “style” of code that was fashionable at the time. I would not have hired any of my classmates (well, I might have hired one as a junior), but the bootcamp did what I needed it to do, exposing me to the “culture” of programming at tech companies.

I was hired as a mid-level and quickly progressed to senior at a large global tech company. I have been at a few different tech companies now and haven’t run into any major challenges or problems, and have only received positive feedback from my peers and managers.

If I were evaluating who I was then as a potential hire today, I’d probably consider me a risky hire with unknown potential. I think it helped that I had a number of usable “products” that I had made over the course of my career as a solo programmer that didn’t really fit any mold. I also think it helped that I didn’t have any trouble with basic algorithm brain teasers, finding them sort of fun at the time I was interviewing. I’ve never tried leetcode but I suspect I’ve only seen leetcode “easies.” Thankfully I haven’t had to do any of that for any of my subsequent jobs as I don’t think I’d have the patience for it anymore.
It is also important to understand what the other party is actually saying before responding.

They are _clearly_ saying that psychosomatic affections are real affections. They're agreeing with you. This was an amazing display of self nerve hitting.
No way. Small schools sure; small districts no way.

Smaller districts don’t have the overhead funding to be effective. Modern schools need technology. A district with 1000 kids doesn’t have the money to maintain competent staff or hire competent third parties.
There is also two completely different axis for 'feature support' and 'security', neither of which need to be mutually exclusive. WebKit is really not the 'best mobile browser' any more than Microsoft Edge is the best Xbox browser.
I don't believe they do.
But…

Isn’t the bigger problem minority rule?

Specifically, large school districts in blue cities are underfunded by red state legislatures controlled by rural areas?

My understanding is that the biggest advantage between traditional machine learning and neural networks is that neural networks are useful when features either need to be generated or are poorly understood (such as a binary blob of an image or sound sample). So for data that is already neatly organized and labeled in a spreadsheet, DL loses its main advantage.
Hugely editorialized. DeBlasio routinely dismissed quality of life issues, instructing the NYPD to cease enforcement on the subways, cutting the sanitation budget, and a hundred other things. The homeless population and petty crime blossomed even before covid. Adams was elected literally because of the backlash.

Whether he's effective can be debated, sure.
Ask HN: Why do we not see non-tracking 'fallback' ads?
uBlock Origin blocks all the tracking ads, and this leaves empty space on many websites. Why don't the advertiser networks (Google/Meta/others) prepare 'fallback' ad content, and put that content into this space instead?

For example, my Twitter feed or Instagram stories loaded with uBlock origin have zero ads. I understand non-tracking ads are comparatively ineffective, but can't Meta insert fallback ads when their primary ad is blocked?

Even if there are technical limitations in doing this, from a high-level perspective, why is it not worth the effort for AdSense/Meta to solve these limitations, so they can deliver fallback ads to end users? Isn't some advert better than no advert at all?
Basically the same lesson can applied for saying no to feature requests from clients on your SaaS product; saying yes commits you to ongoing support, and you need to consider if it's worth it, particularly consider if said client is trying to outsource what should be bespoke work on their side, to you.
In places with very hard mineral deposits, one solution is to put an inline mechanism that dispenses a very small amount of citric acid into the water supply. I'd guess that, for the amount of exposure time that your dishwasher components have with vinegar, it's not a problem. Same as the above poster, I've run rinse aid and vinegar both, with very similar results.
You're not forced to buy any products, though. And in this case they specifically allow you to pay $3/month and not have ads. I'd wager virtually no one will take that option, though, since folks tend to be very vocally opposed to ads until it's time to pay instead.
