As an interviewee you can use the interviewer's typing as a good signal. When I'm conducting an LP interview and you go off on a tangent that I'm not interested in, I'll stop typing and look up long before I'm likely to interrupt you.

Now I'm not _expecting_ anyone to pick up on that. My point is it's a useful skill to engage (even via zoom) with the other person and develop a feel for how they're processing the info you're giving them. Otherwise the interviewee could just talk to a transcription AI in the first place and the hiring team reads the summary (shudders).

Though now I've said that, someone is probably going to build this nightmare version.
I haven’t read any indication that safety rules weren’t followed, so presumably because whatever it was packed in was deemed safe enough.
You bring up some good points but they did not ask me about the psychological impact nor am I an expert in this. If I were to offer my armchair commander opinion on that topic it would be to limit the amount of time the child is permitted on the system and to limit what multiplayer games are permitted to keep them away from abusive people and most importantly to be with them as much as possible and avoid the risk of the gaming platform becoming a baby-sitter. I trust in good faith that the person asking the question is a good parent and will spend as much time as possible with their child and maybe even join them in playing some of the games, as they are only a child once.

There are ways to automate some usage limits in Linux/Unix. One could use PAM limits to prevent logins to/from particular times of the day/night and to limit how long one may be logged in. These limits should be explained to the child so they are not as upset when the system logs them out. Perhaps find a way to put the system to sleep so that unsaved game progress is less likely to be lost.

Hi there! I am a software engineer based in Orange County, California with experience in Ruby, JavaScript/Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS, and React.

Recently, I built Skopos, an API monitor for testing multi-step API workflows. More information can be found here: https://skopos-api-monitoring.github.io/

I am interested in learning more about distributed applications. I enjoy learning about new languages and frameworks and am happy to work with new technologies.
Rules of thumb is:

- Make it work

- Make it fast

Reality is, most of developers just want to get shit done and go home. The bosses of course never want to pay you for "make it fast".

The point of React is of course, low overhead JS class/function to decompose large UI. That made the job done.

1st party support is (sadly) usually the best experience you're going to get.

I'd love to see some real focus on open standards and enforcement for those standards at a legislative level (the first to go should be any limits on 3rd parties acting on behalf a user... it's essentially the same as the court case that allowed consumers to install 3rd party equipment at telephone jacks)

But until then (and I'm not holding my breath because the US congress is utterly, woefully, frankly perhaps intentionally, useless for both antitrust and tech regulation at the moment) I'll continue to use the first party software.

Vetting is impossible, the scammers can just change the content of the page after the PayPal bot requested the website. Human vetting is even more impossible, invoices will always require unique links for each mail.

Nor does it matter wherever it's a clickable link or text in this context. The only way to "solve" your issue is by removing user generated content, which makes the invoicing feature inherently impossible.

If you're seriously shocked that PayPal isn't decommissioning a highly profitable feature because a random carebear worries about their family... Then you're honestly out of touch with reality.

Most people nowadays know that emails are untrustworthy, and if your family doesn't... Then you should tell them that, as they're bound to get scammed eventually if they click on any links from their inbox.
Run afoul of copyright law how is the question.

My wife works in design. It's amazingly easy to try to come up with a new logo design that somehow nearly exactly matches other existing logos that are in use by other companies. They have to spend a huge amount of time making sure their 'original work' doesn't violate someone else's copyright/trademark.

Is 'creation' the act of violating copyright? I wouldn't think so.

We tend to talk about copyright violation in light of distribution. Is the file transfer from the SD server to your browser an act of distribution? Who knows what the law thinks at this point.
India built rupay, an alternative to visa and mastercard which has 0 charge to merchants. It is expanding internationally and works in neighboring countries.

Aside from this, most local payments happen over UPI so they cost 0 as well.

Visa and mastercard usage is declining in India since a few years despite rapid increase in digital adoption. Government banned master card, diners, express, etc issuance for not complying with local data storage rules for over a year and it did not impact much.

I think the solution is to run payment infrastructure at public level like many countries have done in Asia.
I would say 'EEE' has evolved to now suffocate and undercut competitors paid offerings by USING and maintaining free and open tools and systems whilst adding proprietary extensions on top of it. This time, it is Microsoft that has gotten clever at using open source software to their advantage and offering great tools for free (or at least close to free).

Competitors can't even raise their prices nor can they compete with free. Even Appget (Windows Package Manager) shut down due to the same reasons.
Machine learning is an extension of the concept of linear regression in 2-D space to 9999999-D space. They also make the line more then just a "line" the equation produces more of a best fit complex curve in multi-dimensional space. This is the actuality of what programmers in this area do.

Much of that space consists of pairs of data that aren't relevant. So to understand it in terms of the analogy of the line in 2D space... The only thing that's relevant are points near the line.

For example if we use the line to represent housing costs(Y) over time(X). You can take a bunch of housing prices sold over time and plot it on the graph as dots. Linear regression will form a line that best fits those dots. Not EVERY single section on the plane matters though. Only the dots matter and the space that's very near the trend line have anything meaningful in terms of data.
Thanks for the explanation! That makes sense.

Ask HN: Best approach for mixed Windows / Linux environments with HPC?
I will preface this by saying I am not really an IT person but more a very heavy IT/HPC end user (I do lots of engineering simulations on HPCs). My group is trying to push for more simulation focused workflows at my company but are hitting some IT hurdles that the IT group here doesn't seem able to solve. They have thrown up their hands, but I think there has to be a solution out there.

Our setup: We have windows workstations, Active Directory managing folder and account access, and a Dell Isilon for file storage. This works fine on windows and even with our old janky Windows HPC. I submit a job, it can retrieve the required files with my credentials from the network share etc and everything works ok.

We need to move to a Linux HPC (supports a required simulation tool and the workflow is just better all-around especially for automation etc).

What is the best authentication file sharing for Linux hosts? Right now, we figured out how to join the HPC to the AD domain so my account is the same between Linux and Windows, but I have to make a kerberos ticket on the linux HPC (and all its compute nodes) so that I can access files from the network share via CIFS. This is a pain and I usually just copy files to my Linux home dir and then copy them back to the network share where this data needs to live. Otherwise I have to maintain active CIFS mounts and their associated kerberos tickets on all the compute nodes.

Is there a way that the linux hosts can function like windows ones? Where the head node can submit my job for me (as me) to a compute node and it can access the files from the network share using my credentials without me making a script that keeps kerberos tickets CIFS mounts alive all the time?

Apparently we tried accessing the same network share that we do via CIFS using NFS, but I am told that the folder permissions were not respected (ie NFS users had access to folder they otherwise should not have access to if they had used a kerberos ticket and CIFS).

TLDR: What approach should I use for enforcing file permissions from Active Directory and be able to access those files from Windows and Linux hosts? I am especially interested in an HPC environment where a head node submits jobs as me to compute nodes, those compute nodes need to be able to access the file share with the proper file permissions.
> I have FAANG names on my resume

If you mean company names, that doesn't mean much. Get referrals, as directly as you can manage but even just active endorsements when you can't. As your career progresses, more and more of your job search can lean on and might rely on referrals.

If you didn't make meaningful connections with people at your past jobs who can endorse or refer you, that's kind of a red flag in itself.
Visible light is electromagnetic radiation too. Does this mean that an LED is the same thing as an AirTag?

I'm not sure if this specific source is isotropic or directional, but it's very possible for it to be both extremely hard to detect from even a couple of meters away, yet still pose a great hazard.
This is what makes it counter culture:

It's interesting you say this, I've realized it true in mine own life, I worked very hard, and admittedly was blessed with some wonderful opportunities early on in my career that led to me being far ahead of many of my peers age wise. I spent several years early in my career and life working very hard, working, full time school, full time parent, etc. Because of that I am now at a place where as my children have the ability to speak I have been able to dial it back a bit and still maintain my standing because of the foundation that was put in place long ago.

As my mother said "Life has to get hard at some point it can get hard now or it can get hard later."
You _can_ get vdom to be fast if you hoist static subtrees, memoize, and skip the diff entirely for some operations. Inferno is known for all kinds of these tricks, but you need compilers for that and in the end vdom is just getting in the way.
I have to heartily disagree. Besides, you're more than welcome to make changes to any given recipe (and even notate those changes in the book!)

He has a lot of strange, biased writings, because he's an Apple evangelist.

>> But more broadly they all just look and especially feel inert and rigid. Nothing shrinks or stretches. There’s no life to them.

I can see this two ways: some people WANT to be entertained by the UI when they're surfing. Others like myself, don't want extraneous distractions. The UI should be secondary to the information.

The second quote on the developer choosing OSX over Windows, is quite interesting. I would think that an application developer, being even more into their craft, would eventually want LESS interference from the device UI, to where they would become platform agnostic and roll their own "life" into the application's UI.
Huh? I don't think they are behind technology. There are lots of technology only Japan can provide.

This is not correct. Zero cost abstractions are not overhead. Some abstractions are zero cost abstractions. Thus, not all abstractions are pure overhead.

I believe the discord app has some weird limitations around global shortcuts and push-to-talk when you use the browser tab instead of the desktop app.

One use case also used to be that you would use a browser tab for one discord account and the desktop app for another, but container tabs + browser profile switching made that less necessary. And then discord eventually added support for multiple accounts.

Meantime, a friend of mine here in the US (with excellent insurance) just made an appointment with a gastroenterologist in January.

2024.

Presumably something on the wait list will open up sooner... somebody who made an appointment in February 2023 and got treated by somebody else. Or just died. Meantime, we'll try to find somebody else.

But the notion of "Americans always get health care quickly compared to everybody else" strikes me as absurd. Some things work well, but other things work very, very badly.
> I struggle to keep track off all the garbage products and shitty companies I need to avoid

I stopped bothering years ago. Now, I simply assume that they're all lying scum. Enough of them are that it's not a terrible bet. So, I don't buy or use products that require the use of any third party servers, and be sure to firewall off any that have network access.
A satellite beacon or equivalent is probably more useful, attached to the source.

As well as better designed containment/carriers that don't have the possibility of letting the radioactive source "drop out on the side of the road".

Rio Tinto has remote control trucks and automated trains in WA, I know some of the people that worked on the software.

I'm pretty sure that there is already a contract being let to work out a better way of handling this stuff, and perhaps automatically tracking it.

Geofencing the beacon based on its expected location would also identify this sort of situation.
I really like them. No need to invite people to a meeting; just jump in. E.g. if you have an issue to diagnose as a group you can just stay on the line, and dip in and out where necessary.
Trying to mentally parse these long winded recipes = takes longer to read = "greater engagement". These crappy recipes are all about seo and add placement as you'll notice these recipes are loaded with Google ads. So it is a self fulfilling prophecy that the pages where users spend more time and see more ads are ranked highest.
Isn't the practice of interviewing full of fraud on the part of interviewers already? Things like the dreaded '10 years experience in a 2 year old language' in programmer listings? Why shouldn't interviewees use whatever means they can, especially largely untraceable ones like this example, to even the field?
Plus, if you've done any work for friends or other contacts in the meantime, you can just draw up an informal NDA after the fact and then it's not even a lie.
Genpax | Full-stack/frontend/product engineer | London, UK | ONSITE (hybrid/flexible) | https://www.genpax.co/

We're building a game-changing bacterial analysis platform. Using bioinformatics, we can help hospitals take early and effective action against outbreaks of MRSA and other pathogens.

Our goal is to radically increase the utility, scalability, and speed with which whole genome sequencing (WGS) data delivers infection control solutions for human and animal healthcare worldwide. This will enable proactive control at early stages of outbreaks, and appropriate responses to more dangerous or more antibiotic resistant strains. We have developed a unique solution to address the challenges and our goal is to provide access to these solutions in a fully scalable system.

I'm looking for an experienced frontend (or full-stack/'product') engineer to join our small engineering team - initially to focus on building out a novel interactive tree-based UI. There are some interesting challenges here (and throughout the stack). We're using Python, GraphQL, React/TypeScript, Postgres and AWS, but open minded to adopting technologies that make sense.

The coal and oil industries have been quietly bankrolling anti-nuclear efforts for decades under the guise of safety. It's a prime example of astroturfing.
This extends to many academic papers and other expository as well. Repeat the same thing multiple times with a slight twist and use of different terms. So much communication could be more succinctly stated, but the incentives of reader retention, web seo and other marketing techniques, appealing to the lowest mental common denominator, following “good” communication practices, etc. are too strong for most content creators to fight.

Furthermore, the structure of what is considered good writing feeds into this: state your point in the introduction, state your point in the body, and restate your point in the conclusion of the article. Reminds me of television shows that recap what you saw prior to the 2 minute commercial, just in case you forgot what you were watching 2 minutes ago.
Great discussion. I listen actively to AM in the car and when I’m camping. We’re moving to the Olympic peninsula from Seattle this year, and I’m so excited to start pulling in Canadian AM stations - many stations from Victoria and Vancouver are audible, and it’s not just talk - there are multiple Asian cultures broadcasting music, in particular I revisit one station playing Bollywood and what sounds like devotional music from india, depending on the hour.

Anyone curious about listening can get up and running with the cheap portables mentioned on other threads here. I’d add that I event;y bought and rtl-sdr dongle [0] and mla-30 active loop antenna, attached it to a small spot on my roof, and am pulling some distant things in without interference. Getting that loop antenna up 25 ft off the ground was especially helpful. [1]

If you want to listen, my xp is getting a decent antenna established is key. Another way for the curious to start listening without equipment is one of the many web-based SDR (software defined radio) sites, like this one [2]

Not every expense or purchase has the same multiplicative effect on GDP. The more value that is added at each stage of production, the more GDP is created by consumer spending (cooking vs. eating out). GDP also captures none of the value created and consumed within the household (cooking, herb gardens, childcare by parents, etc.).
Yes, obviously it isn't a one size fits all solution. But I was specifically talking about using it to create one.

Multiple times I created it via the europass website, exported it as a word and edited that to cut down on the boilerplate.

But yeah, I definitely can see alternatives being more reasonable nowadays. ModernCV absolutely seems like a tool worth learning.
