Just silly games I make in my free time. Ever wanted to play wordle and snake at the same time? I got you. That connect-the-pipe game, but also tetris? Sure!

They are mostly novelty games, with a focus on fun-to-make instead of fun-to-play.

>Sigh. If you find it necessary to add adjectives, you've created a strawman. For example, if I say "humans have two legs" and you respond with "not all humans have two legs" that is a strawman.

I specifically have a non-strawman version in the following sentences. I wonder how you missed that?

> They'll compare a price in one year with a price in another year and fail to discount the difference by inflation.

I'm not sure whether this is a subtle attempt at claiming that the BLS underestimates inflation by a half, or you actually think BLS's methodology actually involves adjusting for inflation twice.
No one should be surprised by this. I interviewed at AMZN and the online quiz was basically "Which delivery driver would you fire in this scenario" and the 1-on-1 interviews were with people who when I asked what you like about AMZN replied "the stock price". If you take a job at AMZN you are treated like a cog in the machine. And that is fine if that is what you want.
I would sure as shit double check. Google Maps is awful at locating any trail except the most well-trodden. You'd be a complete fool not to double check, as the person in OP demonstrated.
thanks! We agree - this tech is really going to change how quickly someone can find the information they care most about in an event
You are missing something important. When backing in you went by the intended spot first and looked to verify it was clear. Thus you have no chance of hitting someone in it. You cannot see as well backing, and when backing out there is time for something unseen to get in the way.
US stupidity it seems. From what I managed to google two reasons I saw was "coz they might hit shrubbery" and "some states dont require plates on front of the car"(WTF) "and if you back in police can't see them and check"
If you already have 'ffmpeg' (which he uses to convert the audio to .wav), then you could keep going and use this for most all the process.
Looking at the related audio filters (i.e., -filter:audio, or -filter:a, or -af):
- to remove silence : -af silenceremove=1:0:-50dB:detection=peak
- to shorten duration : -af rubberband=tempo=4
- if you wanted to quickly/easily normailze the audio : -af loudnorm

This leads to:
ffmpeg -i happy_book.mp3 -af loudnorm -af silenceremove=1:0:-50dB:detection=peak -af rubberband=tempo=4 happy_book_out.mp4

You could roll all those options into one filter command, but leaving like this for newer-users to digest.
I also tend to re-encode using libfdk (though you need to be sure that your ffmpeg is compiled with this enabled) for a better mp4 (or .m4a or .m4b), so :
ffmpeg -i happy_book.mp3 -af loudnorm -af silenceremove=1:0:-50dB:detection=peak -af rubberband=tempo=4 -c:a libfdk_aac happy_book_out.m4a
I mean, it's 50 miles away though. Surely he should've figured out that the trail on the map didn't match the reality.

Oh wait, he didn't bring a map.
I believe "completed" means precisely the opposite - current physical theories are incomplete, but Mary has access to the completed version. Otherwise, the whole argument would only prove that qualia are not part of currently understood physical theories, which not even the most convinced physicalist would contest I think.
Is it really so hard to believe that people are less likely to do tech if they have better options?
I have no intention of being snarky and I'd like to engage in good faith, but I'm aware of how this will read:

How is it a useful metaphor? I don't understand how you can use it to extrapolate from a situation in which you vastly outmatch an opponent to one of equals or you being outmatched. It seems too general and abstract to be worth more than "that's neat" status.

Other HN responders seem to be using it to mean a variety of different concepts including tempo, having superior heuristics built via prior observation or simply "thinking then acting".

That’s quite clearly not what they were saying. If you want to argue with yourself, do it in a Word document and don’t involve the rest of us.

> The real issue is the lack of soft unwritten societal rules that exists in most other countries,

close, but i think it's the other way around. Those soft rules do exist, but they're regionally scoped to about the size of the median european country. We just have several dozen such regions.

The "codify everything" impulse can arise from things like interstate/inter-region commerce alone.
It's pretty much a layoff in disguise at this point.

This is one of those things my dad taught me that stuck with me! The UK's highway code has a specific rule about this on normal roads: "Do not reverse from a side road into a main road. When using a driveway, reverse in and drive out if you can." Backing out is so much more stressful and more dangerous – I get to experience both as my spouse is a 'drive in' so if I ever take their car, I have to reverse out ;-)

It did make me chuckle that the person defending the 'driving straight in' approach in the article is wearing a face mask incorrectly, but my spouse shares their 'easier to load stuff into the trunk' argument which I concede has some merit..
It is for a three-day return-to-office, not full time. Given the state of the economy, I'd be worried about just quitting. It seems during the pandemic tech workers went for broke and took car leases and moved away banking on being able to WFH for a long period of time. I wonder if Amazon made it clear WFH would not be permanent or an option. There are plenty of tech workers who would like to work at Amazon if a bunch quit. Those who quit will still be stuck with their new housing and car lease arrangements anyway. Personally, I am freelance again (not in software/tech), but I voted for a return to the office. Our engineering firm (entertainment engineering - structural and mechanical) was not doing as good quantitatively as my peers thought we were doing as we WFH. Plus, a lot of people were actually happy after the fact when they started to realize they had taken for granted the face-to-face interaction at work and for some without self-discipline, the motivation to get up and working without too many home distractions.
My favourite is the (hopefully) joke version, that starts off denouncing the mindless copy-pasting of feel-good content and ends something like:

This works fine for now. I am however worried that politics will make this much harder in the future. We're already seeing that a certain crowd wishes that AI responses reflect the "average" without any kinds of filtering. If they were to pass a law in this direction (and, let's face it, considering all the other overstepping laws passed in the direction of book banning etc. this is sure to come) we might not have any choice or options left.
When backing in the cars around are not moving. When backing out there is sometimes another car in the space across from you backing out at the same time, and this moving car is harder to see.

So the danger you worry about us worse not better backing out.
Bankruptcy is a feature of nearly all modern legal systems to avoid exactly this.

The point of bankruptcy is to allow you to give up all your possessions in return for being able to shed all debt. It's a simple trade, and lets you 'start afresh'.

And it's kinda an even better deal than it appears - you get to keep your knowledge, your friends and your qualifications - so in your 2nd start, you will probably achieve a much better trajectory than the first.

Not a mistake I can see a hiker regularly making. It's like a driver who regularly runs out of gas and is stranded on the freeway every week. Something is really wrong with their self-assessments if this is an activity they've done "plenty of times."

If you're really that bad at estimating water needs bring 2x as much as you think, dump out the extra half way into the hike.

Indeed -- much like with roads that have the same name with a different ending; ie, Maple St. and Maple Ave., found in the same town.

This is going to save so much time in processing earnings calls…
Depends on your definition of "supply". The argument is mainly just semantics. They're not wrong per-se. A better phrase might have been "production" rather than supply. I agree, supply sounds like I'm buying an off the shelf component, not a custom designed wafer.

In short, Apple is set to purchase every wafer that TSMC produces when they launch their N3 node. How long for should have, but hasn't, been specified. It's safe to assume that by "entire supply" they mean "until TSMCs next node", at which point TSMC will take orders from other companies for their N3 node.

If the US and/or UK place sanctions on exporting microprocessor technologies to China then that's that. Intel/AMD and ARM are subject to US and UK laws and regulations respectively.

RISC-V by contrast is much, much harder for any given country to regulate because of its free and open nature. At most the US and UK can embargo individual developments made within their jurisdictions, but they can't regulate the entire architecture. RISC-V doesn't have a kill switch named Intel/AMD or ARM.

My wife once purchased a ticket over the phone for the Acela line from the Penn Station in New York, but they misheard it as the one in Newark. So it's even hard for Amtrak!

Something we learned out of all this was that each train company used to have their own station in each city, before things became consolidated, so it makes sense for there to be many stations for the Pennsylvania Railroad.
This whole thing reads like a disturbing attempt to seem human and approachable of a soulless machine overlord.

Which I guess fits AMZN well enough.
This is an appropriate strategy for a climate like VA where there's plenty of rain and wildfires aren't part of how the ecosystem evolved to work. On the other hand, places like this part of CA historically burned, and each year accumulate more dead flammable biomass. Applying the same sort of law in the West means companies put in inordinate amounts of work to decrease the odds that when a fire starts it gets counted as their fault: https://www.jefftk.com/p/fire-law-incentives

This particular case is a pretty unusual one where the hiker is saying they were choosing between setting a fire and dying. I doubt they were aware of the law involved, and expect they would have made the same choice regardless.
Which is why we do science on things that seem obvious - because while the obvious answer to something is, quite often, the correct one, it isn't always.
I go hiking 50+ times a year and never have found myself with too little water. For longer trips I'll bring a filter. There's really no excuse here.
Let's get real. Most times you're not doing a single task on your laptop.

These days I only see a single core loaded up to 100% when I grep through a big directory or when I encounter a bug in some software.

Most of the time, it's either all cores are equally idling or equally doing something heavy (like building a big project).
Each have their downsides, and both have some level of skill/knowledge to use effectively.

But I'm pretty sure that for a typical person from the street, a smartphone and spare battery will be more effective than a compass, map, and emergency flare.
Construction companies can do all sorts of projects, and still usually have to meet a deadline. Do you think every bridge or skyscraper is the same, just because they are all bridges and skyscrapers? And do you think mechanical engineers are also not estimating delivery dates just because they usually create new stuff? Because that's not the case.

Also, tons of software dev isn't actually about pushing boundaries or doing something that hasn't been done before. In fact, I'd say most development is about implementing known solutions but in a customized way. Just like every other engineering field.
Seems like a great idea… If your intention is to get people to quit without needing to lay them off and pay out severance.
There are plenty of things you can try, some of which might even work better for some teams, and worse for others. The point is not that you can't do without a standup, but that whether or not you individually perceive the standup as a benefit isn't necessarily relevant. The relevant question is really whether or not the standup is the least disruptive tool to ensure your team keeps everything up to date. As I said in my original comment: The more disciplined a team is, the less you need that ceremony.
> spiral out of control

Meanwhile, an '80s paper countering 'waterfall' with prototyping iterations called it the 'spiral method'.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_model

FWIW, the early '70s paper the DOD misunderstood as suggesting 'waterfall' had already said the right way was to build one to throw away -- but use the prototype to derive the usability, requirements, and design docs first.

No, these are not a requirement to go hiking. Let's not make people think they need to spend hundreds of dollars to go for a walk in the woods.

No doubt, satellite communication devices are useful but people have been hiking and surviving outdoors for millennia without them.
> "Staffers who posted in the Slack channel said they were caught off guard by the announcement. Many expressed frustration that they’d have to find arrangements for child care, caregivers for aging parents, or potentially move in order to be within commuting distance of the office.

One worker said they’d recently leased a car with an annual limit of 16,000 miles assuming remote work was still an option; if they’re required to come into the office at least three days a week, they’ll exceed that limit.

Others took the company’s previous flexible work stance as an opportunity to move outside major cities to find more affordable housing and are now concerned about their commute."

Dumb. Covid is endemic now and it makes everything more difficult for everyone. Talking, thinking, concentrating are the first things to get hit by any mild covid infection. Hauling people's asses to office even one single day a week will skyrocket infection rates and hurt productivity in a way nothing else can.
My thoughts: your timing is bad. I also took the last year off to recover from burnout and this is the worst I've ever seen the market. But since you have experience it's still doable.

Since the market is bad you'll have a harder time getting responses even if you were currently employed. Try to tailor your resume for the job (I know, really common advice but right now its not optional).

Then the first question you'll get is what were you doing the last 4 years. Nobodys really wants to know, just brainstorm a good sounding reason. Health concerns, relatives, you started a startup or something, whatever.

And then interviews. Slight positive note, Leetcode problems were starting to slowly decline and being replaced with more practical programming interviews so you may get lucky there. I'd say only study leetcode once you have an interview setup. Failed interviews are practice too.
> He said while reversing into a busy shopping centre car park was indeed a way to show off your expertise behind the wheel, it was also a much safer option.

And how exactly will you load your grocery into car parked in reverse? Most of the cars have trunk/cargo space in the back, so reversing while parking in SHOPPING centre makes absolutely no sense, good luck loading the car, which is why pretty much everyone doing grocery just park head in.

Maybe you are from a higher caste!
I don't mean doing it in a retained-mode-like way with a data structure in memory, I mean special casing certain UI elements. For example, a blinking cursor could be a special path through the code which updates only the pixels where the blinking cursor is, while the rest of the window just reuses the last drawn frame (kinda like how mouse cursors are handled in hardware). Similar tricks work for things like hover highlights and context menus.

No need for a retained data structure to implement the above.
A smartphone battery and a rough map should be sufficient to get you back to your car from some 20 mile loop trail when you get lost.
