BPMN is so far gone, when execs suggest using it they ONLY mean for the workflow charts - not actually executing workflows or allowing business folk to create new workflows!

So it is really confusing because they are only evaluating "pretty pictures" and you're evaluating the technical requirements of the tool (to do what it was built for) and you mismatch.
Winter with a fairly-common work-and-getting-the-kids-places schedule means getting up before the chickens.

I actually think it'd be great if we could have seasonal work schedules. Winter work days should be 6 hours, not 8. Let the whole of society hibernate a bit. Leave at least one or two daylight hours that aren't taken up by work or commute.

> What troubles those who track child exploitation is that TikTok’s algorithm is designed to learn what type of content users like, then feed them a string of it. That keeps youngsters glued to the site and makes it easier for pedophiles to seek them out.

It keeps adults glued to the site too. Predators and people that didn't plan to be alike.
I think that's part of it, but I think it's mostly an artifact of a generation being taught that "reputable sources" is be-all end-all evidence, and critical thinking is the same as checking the existence of these sources.

That was possibly sound advice in the past, but it's definitely severely incomplete advice in the modern information ecosystem.

No, fakes are specifically designed to emulate the underlying dependency somehow so that you can assert on it’s state later. Stubs don’t try to do that at all and are mostly for returning a default response.
The validity of the feedback doesn't change with the times necessarily - it's still just as stupid to not be able to extract a drive out of a laptop now as it was 10 years ago. If so, the author of the post hasn't put forward higher priority qualms to complain about, so to me it definitely sounds like they are just defending Apple. And if they were, I just want to know why.

I detect a pungent "code smell", and probably a design bug via your example selector.

Does the designer really want such a specific edge case to an edge case? Can they explain or justify it according to the design patterns they laid down? Why are we using such a general ".container" to specify a ".button", and whilst we're at it why do we have a "button" AND a ".button". Our codebase was going off the rails long before we reached this (admittedly scary-looking) selector. There was a better way to do what we're doing, several iterations ago, and people who cared about the ux+information design and the CSS should have caught it sooner. Go back to them and fix the problem there rather than let this horrible selector pass code review.

We wouldn't stand for this in the TS/JS codebase. Why do we put up with it in the CSS?

To be honest, I was never on board with the "classes everywhere" approach. IDs are fine when they identify a single item on the page. We lost something when we stopped using the language as it was designed.
In theory, Apple could still offer products that last many years AND are upgradeable, so that they only get partially converted to waste.
"I will say that you seem to be operating under the assumption that these tools are less reliable at producing the correct code than they really are!"

Lots of people in the comments here stuck on the boring semantic definition debate of mocks vs stubs vs nulls vs whatever.

This is not really by what the article is about IMHO. It’s a great overview of how to grow and organize your application with some opinionated patterns that give some favorable properties to your system. The nullable stuff just helps achieve those properties. If you want to use a mocking library to write nullables, and call them mocks, fine. Not important.
In my experience, Lenovo is basically two different companies for their Thinkpad and non-Thinkpad machines. If you have a Thinkpad and have a warranty issue, they'll overnight you a shipping box with an overnight label. I had an issue with mine that needed a motherboard replacement and I was only without my laptop for 3 days. Meanwhile, I had a similar issue with a non-Thinkpad laptop and they emailed me a UPS ground shipping label, expected me to provide my own box, and quoted a turnaround time of several weeks. I ended up buying another of the same model of laptop and returning the defective one instead.

Looking more closely at the code it generates I'm not sure what the point of putting ChatGPT in that loop is? Rotating until an object is in view isn't a very useful strategy for finding an object, and a non-techical user wouldn't be able to resolve that easily, and a technical user who knew about those basic functions could code the finding strategy he wants based on those examples and instructions.

You would produce a better and easier to use interface faster and with less work by just exposing a few high level utility functions that are better designed than what ChatGPT generates there. Or at least it would be better to let ChatGPT use those high level functions.

If they could make it solve a maze or find something in a more complex environment they would have shown that.
A good response to "that's not falsifiable" is offering a test that could prove the assertion false. This is only more unfalsifiable metaphor.

Also: saccades are very easy to notice if you just pay a little attention to them, just like noticing your tongue in your mouth or your nose in your vision. They're not a deep psychological enigma.

It's a point in time, but it is irrelevant to the problem we're discussing and I'm not sure what value there is in discussing that static points in time exist. It's like discussing a runtime and saying "well, at this static point in time it takes zero seconds to run" - I just can't wrap my head around how it is relevant to the issue at hand.

You're also being really rude for no good reason. My polite suggestion is that you reflect on yourself here about why you are being rude on the internet to strangers. It could lead to growth and hopefully help you with whatever hurt you're experiencing.

According to the author the cows caused this _before_ there were a lot of people. So they were old abandoned ones from the Spaniards?

Which were there for 100 years (1770's as stated by author) without causing a problem until the mid 1800's? Which is when LA was incorporated?

I dunno man, that looks like a lot of yarn when something like more easily explains it.

Ask HN: How do I get back into the tech industry after 4 years of unemployment?
Hello,

4 years ago I felt burnt out and decided to take a short break in order to reassess my career. I simply hadn't realised how much my health had deteriorated and that led to what ballooned into a 4 year long convalescence. I finally feel physically capable of returning to work but worry that I'm no longer competent enough, not even in the kind of roles I used to work at (primarily web-related backend along with some system and network administration).

A few questions I have are:

1. What should I do to get to a point where I feel confident enough to actually send in applications? (I have never really been any good at LeetCode-type problems and have no personal projects to speak of.)

2. Will the 4-year gap and my choppy CV be a major hindrance to my hirability? (My employement history consists of 2 years at a consulting firm and 3 short startup stints of <1 year each.) If yes, how do I minimise its debilitating effects?

3. I feel like I have the best chance of getting hired in the kind of roles I used to work at and those are the ones I'm interested in as well but in doing so am I restricting myself to a limited number of positions? Should I be spending my time in expanding my knowledge areas? (Although I feel like I know too little of anything else to ever feel confident enough to apply for an actual paid position in those roles.)

4. Is my timing bad? Is the current climate not well suited for someone like me to get back into the industry (though I have a feeling that no climate would be conducive to someone in my position.)

To add: I am in my early 30's and have an undergraduate degree. Financially, I have a comfortable 1 year runway or a 1.5 year runway at a pinch. So I can't afford to go back to school; a bootcamp I could attend (as long as it's remote) but I'm not really sure how good they usually are.

Many thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond.

As a follow-up, I tried again in a new thread and it still got it wrong in almost the exact same way:

> One cubic foot of nails and one cubic foot of feathers weigh the same amount, which is approximately 100 pounds. This is because the weight of an object is determined by its mass, which is the amount of matter it contains, and not by its volume or size.

> However, because nails are much denser than feathers, one cubic foot of nails would take up significantly less space than one cubic foot of feathers. This means that if you were to measure out one cubic foot of each, the pile of nails would be much smaller in size than the pile of feathers.

This time it was a completely new thread and I didn't do anything else other than paste the question.
> the "notoriety" of the AI is (IMO) mostly a publicity stunt

Have you _used_ ChatGPT? I mean not just asking it random factoids but using it to genuinely help you with something. Are you aware that it's hit 100 million users faster than Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok did? It's not a perfect product but it's hard to argue with those numbers. I work at a startup and most people I work with use ChatGPT daily. I'm talking project managers, devs, personal assistants, etc. I guess that's all to say OpenAI is influential as heck _already_, now imagine 5 years down the line if they play their cards right.
That's how safety critical devices are already built, so yes. We have standardized probabilities of failure (e.g. SIL [0]) from the unexpected, because mitigating 100% of risk is somewhere between impractical and impossible.

Your comment raises two main straw-men. Neither of which seem to be supported by facts.

I always pondered on the idea of embedding a few bytes of watermark in an image color channels for the same purpose, storing minimal info in an invisible way for the viewer.
For instance a naive blurry idea approach would be to encode a relative difference in the R color channels of all 4 corner pixels of the bitmap.
It could get a bit more robust or sophisticated as well of course.
I am aware compression and crop could corrupt this but it would be feasible to add redundancy or workarounds up to a certain point for these issues.
Any idea if this has been done before ?
This was an issue decades (oof) ago with IRC and other public forums.

In the west, many conflate meditation for stress release and meditation for transcendence of the self.

If your goal is to develop yourself to go beyond every limitation that you ever believed about yourself, to transcend every piece of identity that you ever identified with in order to reach enlightenment, then it is best to look for a teacher that:

1. has achieved the goal you are after. (A teacher that practices what they preach)
2. is willing to take you as a student
3. You are willing to commit to their path and working through the difficulties like the ones outlined in the post

Note that this is explicitly about no longer identifying with your ego, and will be a very difficult, and sometimes dangerous road. Otherwise, then take the advice of the article and just do a little here and there.

Just don't conflate the two things, and - especially if you are doing the latter - definitely don't go around shopping for a bunch of different methods and try to practice them all as the author did. Grab a method and stick with it, if it's not for you then chose another one and stick with that, but don't fall into the trap of trying to create your own medicine from the vastness of teachings and methods.
I've heard this described as 'radical skepticism' - ultimately it implies you can't trust the evidence of your own senses, which means in turn you can't trust the information relayed by any device that extends sight or hearing, such as microscopes and telescopes, or the printed word, and so on.

It's a bit nonsensical, although not entirely worth rejecting. Looking for self-consistency (a fundamental feature of axiom-based mathematics) and the agreement of multiple lines of inquiry into things like historical events or scientific conclusions is a good idea, and serves to give some confidence that reality is what we perceive it to be.

I'm not sure what the opposite of Pyrrhonism is called, but blind faith in the pronouncements of kings and priests was never all that good of an idea, and even one's immediate sensory impressions are not always 100% reliable.
There is way more research than just this study that links early starts to poorer educational performance.

Your speculations have nothing to do with anything in the study, depend on facts that are not supported by any research, and are contradicted by other studies on this topic.

> "the education system" currently hyperindexes on rote memorization

Which education system, and in what subjects? I recall quite the opposite (rando public schools in the US). In hindsight, I would have benefitted a lot from simply memorizing more things.

My freshman calc grade would've been a lot higher if I had bothered to memorize trig identities in HS. Sure, I could derive them, but I had to notice "this is an identity" first - the lack of memorization actually hindered my intuition.
I fed this to ChatGPT and asked for a summary, and got something a lot easier for me to understand than the article itself. Maybe I'm a dummy! But it helped. (edit: the below is not ChatGPT's response!)

The article presupposes there's anxiety, indecision, uncertainty, and frustration as a result of collecting more data, but this isn't a given. Instead, a better solution would be to simply observe; you're not being asked to make decisions, you're not being asked for certainty or clarity, the reality is you don't meaningfully matter to almost any of what's being shown to you in media, and almost nothing being shown matters to you.

Caring and feeling empathy towards those negatively impacted by something is one thing, but your job is not to solve those problems in any real, if-you-dont-then-no-one-will sense. You can do your small, tiny part (e.g. throw $5 at a relief fund, be kind/forgiving to those who do get hurt, use your vote to improve the way your government handles those situations, etc.) but there's no big, sweeping act you're being asked to perform.

The narrative is irrelevant. The "connected dots" are irrelevant. If you want to live a happier life while still being informed, then you must stop trying to understand everything. Just observe, accept you're mostly powerless, and do the tiny amount you can to ease the burden of those who get harmed by the stuff you read about.
Machine Learning and Neural Networks are not applicable for solving all kinds of problems. In fact, in Tesla AI Day Elon Musk remarked that "I discourage the use of machine learning... unless you have to use machine learning, don't do it" [1]. Getting machine learning to work right is hard. If it can be avoided it should be.

So to cast this as Software 1.0 vs 2.0 doesn't make sense. There is a class of problems where neural networks work better. Everywhere else we will continue to use traditional code.

And this is exactly why "tripping" is heavily frowned upon by serious meditators and spiritual practitioners. Experiencing "ego death" (i.e. the three marks of existence) without having the previous spiritual grounding for it to help free you from attachment to the ego, is only a recipe for being even more deeply mired in craving and dukkha.
I know the phrase "mass-marketed commercial pop by committee" produces a visceral reaction, but nothing about it is inherently inauthentic.

"Mass-marketed" just means that something is widely promoted. Many of the most creative, influential, and authentic musical groups are "mass-marketed".

"Commercial" doesn't really mean anything in this context, as presumably everything that you listen to on the radio/streaming services is commercial.

"Pop" is descriptive of the style of the music, not how it's produced (there are indie pop groups).

"by committee" means that multiple people contributed to it. Do you think the only valid creative process is one where somebody works in isolation? If so, that disqualifies pretty much every band / non-solo act from meeting your standards for authenticity.

It isn't the police that is making mexico one of the most violent places in the world, I'm sure they play a part in it as in all developing countries but said violence ends up being linked to the "violent warlords" anyway more often than not in the form of corrupt policemen working for them.
