You're actually presenting this as an excuse for racism against Indians? Holy shit.

I am not presenting it as an excuse, I am presenting it as a probable reason for it. It’s like if a historian explains to you the Treaty of Versailles and all you take away from it is that I’m presenting an excuse for Nazism and WW2. It is merely an explanation for what fermented the situation, not a justification. It’s up you to accept the reality or not.

I don’t think it’s racism. It’s resentment. No one likes an undercutter.

Take it for what it’s worth, that’s the reason you are seeing all the anti Indian tech worker vibes here.
Aside: I want to point out the currently known composition of the universe:

~5% matter. Most of this is H and He though, bit of Li in there too. And it's all mostly burning in a star's gravity well. Like, 99.99999% of it. The stuff you and I are made of (C, N, P, Fe, etc), that we would wish aliens would be made of too, is really rare.

~25% dark matter. We know a little about it. We know that it falls down and doesn't like to touch just about anything. But that's really kinda it.

~70% dark energy. It falls ... up (?!). We know pretty much nothing about it. And it's the large majority of 'stuff' in the universe.

If there are friends out there, then we may want to look at stuff that is a bit more common than ourselves too.

Anyone run benchmarks on a Red Devil or other XTX with a custom cooler? Any issues?
I also immediately thought of stephenwolfram.com. This is like something he always want to build but never did.
I think you're misunderstanding the article. It's not that he wouldn't like a working AMD card it's that the cards are nearly impossible to find "since no comparable replacement cards can be had without paying scalpers on eBay".

It takes a good bit of work to get a flagship GPU at MSRP right now. If you've managed to get one from AMD and one from Nvidia at the same time and one turns out to be defective + they won't offer a direct replacement, only refund, then you're unlikely to be interested in putting a bunch more time in trying to find a non-defective model in stock at MSRP. Particularly when the manufacturer is making 0 effort to make this easier for you.
Almost seems like a procedural syntax like

For decades now, pay has not kept place with inflation. This is simply another sign pattern persists.

Costly isn't consumer debt. Costly is The Fed running wild. There's only spit and scotch tape you can slap on a wonky economy before sociopolitical "stuff" starts leaking through the cracks.

I wish there was less focus on symptoms and more truth and transparency on the fundamental root problems.

Can you answer a simple yes or no to the statement “I believe that there are over two and a half billion victims of revenge porn”?

If yes, why did you post this:

> > Also, I don't think these numbers could be extrapolated to every country/region/culture on earth but they do seem to hold for european and english speaking markets.

If no, why is that figure used on your website?

"work a little". How is that relevant here?

The "T95" is likely an unbranded TV box and some people that bought it, got pre-installed malware in it. Is that the case with all T95 TV boxes? We don't know. Likely but we don't know.

Did the seller infect the TV boxes with the malware before selling? Probably.

Is this some malware that is implemented in the hardware of the TV box? Hell, no.
Ask HN: How long did it take you to learn (native) mobile dev?
I've been a professional SWE for 8+ years now, but have never done iOS / Android development in a professional context.

I've done iOS development for a school project, but it was haphazardly thrown together Objective-C. The app had memory leaks, so we had to make sure the professor didn't demo the app for longer than 5 minutes before the app crashed. I've been under the assumption that the problems of Objective-C that Swift solves was automatic garbage collection, but it seems to address a slough of other things first.

Any experienced SWEs who found value out of attending a bootcamp or structured course to fast track mobile app development? I've been able to pick up specialities in other software disciplines such as data science, backend, frontend from first hand work experience, but mobile app development is usually a silo where the teams only hire people who are already well versed in mobile app development. It feels like there are many platform specific quirks and instances of "you don't know what you don't know", so a bootcamp would at least steer you down the happy path and from there you can start branching out and considering the tradeoffs of the happy path.

Our team is making vendoring decisions between React Native versus Swift/Kotlin, the latter being outside our area of expertise to have opinions on.

High inflation means it's all the more important to find a return. You don't get interest from holding cash, you get interest from lending it out; on a personal scale maybe you can do that by lending to your bank but for those looking for a return on large amounts of capital it's not that simple.
And historically Apple not aligning with developers is a good thing, isn’t it?

There’s a few interesting old videos on YouTube where Steve Jobs is answering developer questions in the audience.

Apple focused on the product and the customer, while Microsoft focused on “developers developers developers.

We don’t need another Microsoft.

We need them both to be different.
Blueprints allow for functions and Macros where you can encapsulate a lot of logic in a single graphical node, as well as grouping/labeling, so no, clean Blueprints don't look like that at all.

Screenshots can't make it justice anyway, because one of the main benefits of using Blueprints is to watch the logic and events flow in real time as you play/debug the game (represented as tiny marching circles)

Here is an interesting talk in this matter of organizing blueprints (52 min): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW0IlgjF-iw

I'm sure you could make the same argument for why the elevator should work even in a fire. But, you might have noticed if you live or work in a tall building, it explicitly doesn't work in a fire. We decided as a society you don't get to make that choice - because it's very rare this is actually a good idea but people would do it anyway.
Thank you. I stand corrected. And yet... you have to admit it’s intriguing...
> ... the number one GPU is the affordable RTX 1650,...

I guess you mean GTX 1650.

"Affordable" is a relative and vague term; 200 EUR in my area for my target interest HDMI2 and DisplayPort (UHD 60fps HDR for video watching and desktop work).

I'm waiting for a price around 100 EUR.

It is extremely hard to keep documentation up to date without a full time technical writer (GitHub had none). Rendering a diagram usually means unique steps to get there and once the maintainer is gone, so are the updates (a great example was how their loadbalancer diagram was 5 years out of date when I got there). I went about talking loudly about the importance of a diagram which resulted in folks saying “they are not visual they can only understand the code in their head”, senior and staff engineers said this. I immediately realized I had to solve this. I made a few actions that would render mermaidjs files (which was later automagically rendered without requiring actions) much like a DIAGRAM.md file. Rave reviews from everyone who came across it “wow now I understand how this platform works” “it’s so easy to make an update to the diagram during architecture planning”.

Unfortunately my team was dismissed while I was in the middle of this project, so I never saw how it ended. To answer your questions, I advocated to break the architecture into chunks. You can get the big picture by following each diagram, or include other diagrams into one large one but to focus the output to specific readership (usually part of the documentation that defined the components)
On the bright side, at least the part you're running is off-the-shelf parts whose implications you can more or less figure out by consulting the man page. Other services in this space are trying to convince you to run their own binary blobs.

I worked for Qualtrics for about 5 years - the first job I had out of college. While working there, I thought we were the bee’s knees. But as soon as I got another job, I realized how poorly the engineering org at Qualtrics was managed. It’s the Wild West, very disorganized. Would not recommend. I guess I have a bit of schadenfreude seeing them do poorly post IPO.
Yeah people here are being extra racist. Sorry :(

Things your manager may not know:

1. How to actually manage people.

Snarky I admit, but in 2023 this is a true statement for a lot of people.

The point is that good tools in the hand of bad managers can be used for oppressive behavior and not as a means of reward. This is one of them.

Are tech workers really the basis of the service economy? And even if so, will they remain so if lower wage earners, of which there are quite a lot more, start earning relatively more?
"We regretfully have to say goodbye to some talented colleagues due to macroeconomic headwinds" sounds a lot more positive than "we stacked ranked all of you and fired the bottom 5%".

And how is reducing 5-10% of payroll costs not material impact to the bottom line?
> Teams can be high performing, but high performing individuals are often built by the environment.

This is a common bias I experience in American corporate culture and it drives me nuts. Viewing things at the individual level makes it really difficult to understand and cultivate productivity in a sustainable way.

Often I find it more useful to look at productivity at the team level. It tends to have more explanatory power than at the individual level because it gets more into psychological safety, communication, attributes that are crucial for high performing teams but are difficult to suss out if you are just focused on individuals. Like you, I have seen way too many smart people stuck in situations where their skills and talents were completely underutilized. Vice versa there's way too many politically adept but inept individuals out there who have the companies that employ them in a stranglehold. All they do is empty these companies of resources, time and money while bringing nothing of value in return.
No manager would approve requests for 46 weeks in the first place so this hypothesis is irrelevant.

just started watching your lectures! they are great!
The feds look at raw numbers and not how many people were laid off. AFAICT: there are plenty of job openings to go around, I haven't seen any evidence of underemployment in tech. As a matter of fact, unemployment levels are close to record lows, consumer demand is still stubbornly high, so the fed is unlikely to lower rates any time soon.

Questioning is useful. Stereotypes also can be useful. But that doesn't preclude recognizing and calling out bias and correlation/causation issues. My views are:

1) Size of population, education and language are better explainers of the effect than any of these stereotypes or anecdata people bring up

2) These anecdata are generally biased negatively. Note the lack of positive (though equally bullshit) explainers like "they're just smarter and work harder than white people". This negative tilt is socially acceptable for Indians, but has become socially not acceptable for Jews. I don't particularly care either way as long as people call out the bias when they see it.

Implicit in all of this is how we as humans ascribe characteristics to our own groups vs. other groups, e.g. my asshole white boss is just an asshole, but my asshole Indian boss is an asshole because she's Indian.

Or as an Indian, my white co-workers is entitled and lazy because he's white etc. etc.

In the olden days, I'd drive my Fred Flintstone car to work. Serial I/O was done by wire-wrapping a UART chip on the board, which handled all the dirty details.

Though the UART chip I used was years earlier than that. Perhaps the Wikipedia article is wrong on that point.

I think they attribute gold to neutron star collisions nowadays. All the gold ever mined arrived by meteorite; whatever was here at the start sank to the core.

We are terribly lucky that gold sort-of dissolves in water and then is deposited in cracked quartz rock the water filters through. Sometimes it bonds with tellurium instead.
Good reasoning even through I never use it. Vim though I can see the same reasoning and that's why I use it :)

I was in a McDonalds the other day and an ad for my former local's apprenticeship program played over the radio. So there is some advertising here.

Since they're a union, the pay scale is public: https://ibew46.com/media/6924/020623_020424_residential_area... Apprentices start at $21.30.

That McDonalds had a big "now hiring" sign out front, advertising $21 an hour. Hm. Not sure if the extra thirty cents would be worth tying yourself to construction's boom and bust cycle.
We are about 30k light years from the center and the milky way radius is about 50k light years. So if we sent out probes in every direction we could hit 100% of the galaxy in 800k years.

A 100kg probe at 10% of the speed of light is about the energy of a 20 megaton nuke. Another 20 megatons to slow it down.

It seems very likely that the technology necessary will be developed in the next 100-10,000 years.
Let's say a women (as in an actual female woman) started having symptoms of needing to urinate more frequently, finding it difficult to start urinating, finding blood in her urine, and having back pain. She looks up these symptoms on a medical website and considers that she might have prostate cancer.

Does she have prostate cancer? Can she have prostate cancer? No, because she is female and does not have a prostate gland.

Same principle applies to these males pretending to have premenstrual syndrome. It simply does not and cannot apply to them. That they claim otherwise is just part of their sad effort to roleplay as female.

For the sake of completeness, you can accomplish the same using UNION instead of VALUES and subquery instead of CTE.

‘’’
WITH CTE AS (
SELECT ‘NY’ AS code, ‘New York’ AS state
UNION
SELECT ‘NJ’, ‘New Jersey’
)
SELECT * FROM CTE
‘’’

… likewise you can also do that in a subquery that you can immediately join:

‘’’
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT ‘NY’ AS code, ‘New York’ AS state
UNION
SELECT ‘NJ’, ‘New Jersey’
) SUB
INNER JOIN AnotherTable AT
ON SUB.code = AT.code
‘’’

I guess it is bad if you are the manager who is responsible for both mistakes.

Otherwise, it is a reminder that it is a failure to hire someone that doesn't work out, and a failure to not be able to use someone as most people have some skills and firing someone is a very harsh thing to do both to the ex-employee in their ex co-workers.
What you appear to be saying is that Kubernetes is declarative if using YAML but not if using client-go, which is patently ridiculous.

The answer to your question is that you are constructing the desired state, not instructions for how to get from the current (unknowable) state to it. Using an API to construct declarative configuration is actually an incredibly useful pattern. Terraform can do it with HCL, too.
I get where you're coming from, but I think we all forget how much we looked like dorks out playing pokemon go. The difference was we were dorks in large groups. If you and a friend are doing this together, you're no longer a dork. You're going your own way.

I’m with you: the problem is that Java and so forth are seen as simple when they are in fact INCREDIBLY complex.
This is true, but for me it's in tension with my desires to a) minimize duplication, b) keep code in sync with docs, and c) keep cost of change low.

In service of that, I think the article's correct when it says, "we should be using code to generate architecture diagrams". Anything else produces expressive duplication between the system and the diagrams, which either increases the cost of change or guarantees documentation drift over time.
sqlite doesn't have linear regression functions, and doing the math manually is a bit awkward because "b" relies on "m". Instead of duplicating the math to calculate "b", here's how to do it with CTEs:

CREATE TABLE vals (x, y);
INSERT INTO vals VALUES (1, 1), (2, 0.5), (3, 0.4), (4, 0.1), (5, 0);

WITH
m(v) AS (
SELECT ((COUNT(*) * (SUM(x * y))) - (SUM(x) * SUM(y))) / ((COUNT(*) * SUM(POW(x, 2))) - (POW(SUM(x), 2)))
FROM vals
),
b(v) AS (
SELECT (SUM(y) - (m.v * SUM(x))) / COUNT(*)
FROM vals JOIN m
)
SELECT
x AS real_x,
y AS real_y,
m.v AS m,
b.v AS b,
x * m.v + b.v AS interp_y
FROM vals JOIN m JOIN b;

real_x real_y m b interp_y
------ ------ ----- ---- -------------------
1 1 -0.24 1.12 0.88
2 0.5 -0.24 1.12 0.64
3 0.4 -0.24 1.12 0.4
4 0.1 -0.24 1.12 0.16
5 0 -0.24 1.12 -0.0800000000000001

If all you want is "m" and "b" the final query can just be "FROM m JOIN b" and the result will be 1 row.
