Legal opinions vary. Certainly Robert Bork would agree with you. He would also probably agree with your vicious libel of Chair Khan.

Those who really care about the development of particular technologies typically don't welcome consolidation in related industries. It wouldn't have been good news for electric cars, if Tesla had been acquired by GM in say 2008. Why the unhinged invective against Khan?
> If you have the option not to, wouldn't you opt out?

I have the "option" to opt-out of things that I never opted into in the first place. It's ludicrous that I have to do "opt out" of something I didn't have a choice of being opted-into in the first place.

> Those are risks of accepting cards, not risks of "not accepting cash"

Yes absolutely. And those risks (of accepting cards) mean that I disagree with the implied statement that not accepting cash removes burdens. It simply shifted the burden elsewhere (onto the customer).
Stats still work out, try it yourself with whatever numbers you care to use. I'm not saying I defend layoffs I'm just pointing out the underlying logic of why a company might want to do them (I think it's missing important factors, but what you claim is not one of them)
Then you would encourage people to have behaviors that trend towards criminal so they would get paid.

But I agree with the thrust of the idea - investing that money in reducing factors that would cause people to turn to crime is a good idea. I assume it's already being done but maybe not as effectively as we would hope?
Why did you leave the field? The compensation?
Agreed. This would be an excellent opportunity to see even more ads online.
> They are processed by other models, humans overseeing and tweaking the process. Often it's a chain with several models training each other, bootstrapped from whatever manual data you have, and curated by humans in key points of the process.

A great description of what actually happens when you deal with massive datasets. One way to inspect a large dataset is to cluster it, and then look at just a few samples from each cluster, to get an overview.
Yes, that's the conversation I meant.

Gruber got irritated by even attempting to get his opinion on this effort. Very, very weird.
> I think it is an interesting exercise to think about the worst thing to happen to web development in the past 20 years, but I don't think I have an answer for that right now.

Definitely XMLHttpRequest becoming available to JavaScript in 2006.
i think these really depends on the requirements of the company. there will always be a long tail of scenarios to support, that doesn't mean every company needs support in all those scenarios. some things can be good enough
that sounds like an awesome deal, but the latency for me in the US would be painfull. Looks like they do not offer US hosting for this.
This also assumes that every company lays off people and thus new hires don't select companies based in whether they recently laid off people
Huh, didn't know that Nostr already had a UI, and good looking one too.

Is snowden also on Activitypub?
Okay, same DNA in the same context then. That experiment doesn't disprove it in the slightest. Indeed, the fact that the experiment is repeatable confirms it.
They have a GitHub and you can self deploy it on your own domain... use their infra, pay their fees.
I've got a handful of small utilities I use that aren't worth firing up a full VM over. RegexBuddy being the main one.
I agree and it will be a fine day when HN doesn't do that anymore.
It's also not Psalm-like! The Psalms don't rhyme (even in the original Hebrew). What they do have is a parallel structure where each idea is repeated in slightly different words.

This is just generic poetry with a sprinkling of "ye's."
I thought GPT wrote what Paul posted! I guess I cannot tell the difference anymore between who's saying what. I actually thought what Paul wrote sounded like a poor imitation of Paul Graham... spooky!

A short but highly unrepresantative list at that.

Too many counter examples irl who had shit grades but were geniuses at actual work to discount.
That is too reductive. U.S. v. Microsoft was all about how Microsoft had strong-armed O.E.M.s into not shipping anyone else's browser. That's not the same as having a default browser.

Most people aren't triggered by words alone, despite what the online community may have one think. And thank God for that.
It's insulting to say that someone giving up a potential income amount that I will never achieve cumulatively in my entire lifetime is symbolic and pointless.
>Also when people research interviewing styles, the "conversational" approach apparently ranks pretty badly. People can be good at BSing, reading the bold print etc.

What types of interviewing styles rank well?
TBH most everything works fine for me (unless I just don't know what I'm missing), but there is a very clear and frustrating gap with Meet backgrounds (blur etc.), which are artificially disabled on Firefox for dubious reasons.
The perverse incentives to try and behave like a potential criminal would be hilarious!

Also, I think you might be missing how impulsive criminals can be... murder is often a crime of passion.
Exactly.

So much of the software industry has been consolidated into the hands of a few monopolies. Web, with all of its horrible problems, is pretty much the only democratic platform we have left, and even it is constantly being eaten away by these monopolies.

It's your device. If you want a website to be able to store data permanently on it, it is your choice. Not apple's. Not google's. Fucking yours.
I think most of the criticism with self driving is around the over-hyped under-delivered "full self driving" from Musk -- it actually seems to be getting worse compared to 5 years ago.

Apparently Cruise and Waymo are doing much more impressive things, but they only get a fraction of the press.

> I got kicked out of AP English for insubordination in high school. The difference between my high-school performance in English classes and professional accomplishments as a writer is vast

Ironically, if I was a hiring manager I would much rather care about your history of insubordination than your self-ascribed writing skills.
> unknown is the set of all JS values. any is a paradoxical set that includes everything, but might also be empty.

Not really a paradox.

- `unknown` is the intersection (&) of all types, including an internal one that has no shape or characteristics. `unknown | {int: number}` should be `{int: number}`. `unknown & T` is always `unknown`, any characteristic T has will be discarded by the intersection.

- `any` is the union (|) of all types, including that internal one that can be anything, and yes, `unknown` too. `(any & {int: number})` should be `{int: number}`. also, `const x: any = 5 as unknown`. Union with `any` should always produce `any`.
Not for an antitrust lawsuit. The remedy for antitrust is divestiture; if found guilty and the judge assigns that penalty, Google can't just pay their way out of it; they'd have to shut down / slice off into an independent company (probably) DoubleClick and some other acquisitions.

Think less "EU fair practices violations" and more "Ma Bell breakup." The difference is that the EU lacks criminal authority (or jurisdiction or, like, an army to extrajudicially invade the United States) to jail Sundar Pichai, but the US absolutely could if the company is found to be an illegal trust and he fails to take steps to remedy the situation.

I mean, sure, I guess, if you think that visual design isn’t a professional field that people can spend their whole careers on.

I come at this from a weird angle, maybe. As an academic, I’m basically a professional writer. I recognize that I have pro-level writing skills, earned over years of blood and pain, and that when I read some corporate memo (more often than I’d like) it will almost certainly be written very badly, by my lights. But I forgive that, because even though writing memos and such is a part of many corporate jobs, it isn’t the most important skill, and it’s a skill that takes years to master.

Would it be ideal if those memos were written more skillfully? Sure. Is that realistic, given the constraints on people’s time? Absolutely not. When someone wires up a language transformer model to fix that, I will cheer.
> ... but could indicate age bias.

Tangential, but... has anyone successfully prosecuted against age bias in tech? I've never heard of a single person that was able to prove it, and/or do anything about it.

As someone with 32 years experience, it's kind of freaky, honestly. If it's true that the number of software developers has doubled every 4.5 years (I don't remember where I read this, so don't have a source :( ), then that means there's 1.5% of people in my group and older.
Apparently you think Tim Cook already has an infinite amount of money.

In that case, many leading CEOs are just taking symbolic salaries to do their jobs. I wonder why they even bother.
This is technically correct, but I suspect it's pretty rare that you would choose "unknown" over a generic parameter. Even if you're writing an algorithm that doesn't care about the data type, it's still probably going to be used by application code that does care, and you'll want to support that need by passing the type through, otherwise the application will be forced to downcast.
Also, I think older people have seen more exceptions through experience, and know that sometimes, "dumb" questions don't have obvious answers.
The FTC chairperson is a part of the Executive branch, not a judge. It's not her job to be impartial; she's allowed to have a point of view.

The HN interface is mostly fine but the vote buttons certainly need to increase by 100% for mobile versions. I can't reliably hit them without zooming in quite a lot. It wouldn't dumb down the UI or anything to make the hitbox larger for these arrows if your viewport is so large.
Nostr is just a protocol, and there are already many different implemented clients to interface with it. https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr#clients
Same as the M2 MacBook Air with 1 256 GB Nand chip. The 512 GB M2 Pro has 2 256 GB Nand instead of the previous 4 128 GB.

Probably no big deal for most users.
I was locked up in the feds, and the last two years I was there they went to this policy. Let me assure you if did absolutely nothing to stymie the flow of drugs. There are a hundred different ways people get stuff on the inside, and even if those hundred different ways were stopped there would be a new hundred in no time.
The quality of the mail scans were terrible. Problems like missing portions of letters and B&W scans of greetings cards (which BTW is against copyright laws).
I can't speak for the state level, but as far as the federal level the prison system is 0% rehabilitation. It is a profit mongering machine if you follow the money. For example the judge that sentenced me has a stake in the unicor federal prison industries factory I worked at, as well as the halfway house I was required to stay at when I got out even though I had a job and home immediately upon release.
Until grocery stores accept GitHub stars and good vibes most people will need to be paid to build software.

>symbolic gestures constitute a large part of the fabric of society.

In fact, we all know that saying Thank you may provide real value to both sides, because we mean it

But meaningless gestures, such as a billionaire at a wealthy and healthy company taking a paycut, harm and devalue our social fabric
Asking about High School assumes everyone graduated from it. With dual enrollment it's quite possible for someone to get a college degree without ever getting a high school diploma (or even taking high school classes).
This has the effect of discouraging people from working. So the question becomes how many are left who would be willing to work? And would we need a 80% tax rate on all transactions between people to fund it? And would that be a really bad idea?
OK now try and upvote this comment without missing the arrow. If you do, you have a lot more dexerity than I do at least. Its usable but certain elements are a little too small where it makes me misclick.

Why would participating preclude criticism? Does anything else work like that?
I was casually pointing out someone comparatively green was in charge now, as opposed to an experienced tenured dogmatic bureaucrat. I left it ambiguous whether inexperience would be a boon to free thinking and a new era or a hinderance and burden to the economy. Maybe things have been being done the way they were "always" done, for a reason.
Take it as a rorschach test.
And the quality high. The name "standard" was a reference to standards of measure and control; the implication in the name was "We're the brand that won't blow up your house when you use it."
Most certainly we do, but I find the question interesting, a focus on advice verifiability helps both cases.

Thrown out of the window and replaced with what?
Sure do! It is interesting that these technologies evolve more slowly than it seems, sometimes.

On the graybearding of the cohort, here’s a weird one to me. These days, I mention slashdot and get more of a response from peers than mentioning digg!

In 2005, I totally thought digg would be around forever as the slashdot successor, but it’s almost like it never happened (to software professionals… er, graybeards)

And conversely, there are people who are not good at tech, but good at casual conversation about tech. Those people tend to become your boss :)

With that in mind, can I then assume that you're being paid by Blizzard to post here?
As a long time Java who embraced Rust a while ago, this is one thing that I love about Rust. Markdown is fantastic in this situation, it’s as readable in code as it is in the rendered html (or whatever) presentation format.

I interviewed for Canonical and they pull even worse bullshit later on the process. They asked me to write a x00 page essay on something-something... it's borderline ridiculous how their HR works.
Joking aside, what this could mean is a larger percentage of ad revenue shared with smaller publishers (website and mobile apps). The current situation is not entirely unlike the app-store cut these companies take.

A recruiter without technical background will not be able to judge the answers other than „was able to form sentences“ or „couldn’t phrase anything“
For publicly traded companies you can reverse engineer investors' future growth expectations by analyzing the stock price relative to their current financial statements. Those expectations then flow to top executives via the Board. Obviously not all of those expectations can be met.

What does a divestiture of Google’s ad business when their entire business is selling ads?
Many (not all) free software ecosystems welcome non-free participants, as long as these honor certain values.

I do think the app store labeling “Free. Offers in-app purchases” is dishonest. It should read, “Demoware. Requires in-app subscription.”
iirc it was called nerdhaven or something. I can't seem to find it. But the other commenter got it right :)

1. Enlarge image by 200% -- mspaint uses nearest neighbor interpolation so this turns every pixel into 4 with no smoothing.

2. Replace every second row with a gnarly pink color, or anything else that's not in your original picture. Kinda tedious but with copy paste you can do it pretty fast.

3. Set that pink as your background color, then use the "transparent select" or whatever, it will select all pixels in your rectangle that's not your current background color.

4. Enlarge the target image by 200% in another mspaint, copy the first image over, then shrink by 50%.

I loved doing that haha, showed it to all my nerd friends.
The most effective documentation for me was looking at app.starbucks.com in dev tools.

You can see the experience yourself - Grab an iOS device and navigate to app.starbucks.com. Add it to your Home Screen. Open the new shortcut. Observe this desired behavior. Dev tools will explain how to get there. I'd pay special attention to the meta tags.
I see no problem with that. Low-wage earners earn jack shit and have to deal with inflation. Giving them temporary respite is a smart move.
newfangled AI bullshit is a key component of the pitch. If you say you just want to help people and make the world better, there will be zero traction. But, say you have newfangled AI bullshit and now everybody is talking about it and trying to invest in newfangled AI bullshit companies and those companies then use that money on lobbyists who then 'contribute' to politicians who then pass the bills. It's not the world I want, but its the one we got.
It isn't stealing. There was an exchange of value, labor for salary, that was agreed upon.

I came across an excellent phrase not but an hour ago (italics mine):

"The political mobilization of envy has led to legal restrictions on productive groups, preferential policies for those unable to compete with them, mass expulsions, confiscations, and mob violence..." [1]

The prevalence of the idea that "shareholders are stealing" seems like an example of "the political mobilization of envy."

Would that not imply they aren't a good fit for the OP's workplace? And presumably, a lot of larger tech companies, since communication must be a large part of your job.

You need to have your own infrastructure monitored by completely different infrastructure, otherwise they will fail at the same time. Instead of having your AWS shop maintain a separate Rackspace-coloed team, etc. it is much simpler to outsource

Why does Cannonical stop with high school? Why not go all the way back to nappies/diapers? The questions write themselves:

"Please indicate how frequently you cried between the ages of 1 and 2. Cries per day is the desired unit"

"How good of a napper were you between the ages of 2 and 4? Did you talk back to the teacher when naptime was scheduled? Did you fake your naps?"
One of the conservative's legal project over the past 50 years main goals has been to maintain a Borkian consumer harm standard for anti-trust. With the current SCOTUS, I don't see much of a realistic path for this.

As the over supply of labor increases more and more, you're going to see more and more incompetent highering practices. This is a natural outcome of just too much talent chasing too few jobs.

I would focus on companies that actually need talent. The big incorrect assumption people have is that if they see positions open then it means they need talent. this is incorrect, most especially for positions that have been open for a long time: that's a big red flag. If a position has been open for more than 6 months, they obviously don't need anyone to fill that role and so have no incentive to learn how to higher the talent needed for that role.
This type of thing is great for people who hire or run companies - the more other organizations focus on meaningless things the more great people are available if you can find them!
