That's true. By that age, kids can be disruptive and unmanageable. You'd need a far more engaging and hands-on program, that would be a lot more expensive to administer.
People used to spend hours to customize their phone backgrounds and desktop backgrounds and myspace profiles, then came the big guys and now everyone uses the defaults and all webpages look alike.

Getting a non-.com domain is like that, it seems amateurish and somewhat unprofessional. There are .com domains if one is willing to be creative and settle for something that is not a simple dictionary word . The length doesnt matter as long as the word is reasonably memorable. 'facebook' and 'instagram' and 'snapchat' did not have a problem with their name. If they 'd gone for face.book, instagr.am snap.chat etc people would be confused "how do i access this site". The dot is not part of our mental dictionary.

Some of them look even dangerous. for example MS onedrive links are from "1drv.ms " which makes my emails look like phishing scams.
> just increase again once everybody starts hiring

How long until that? 12 months, 18 months?

If you got fired from your $180k/yr job in 2023 and inflation is another 6% this year (after being 8% last year), you need a $190k/yr job in 2024 to have broken even, right?
Companies like Google have a unique problem. They attract the best engineers, but they still have lots of boring work to be done. So they end up hiring brilliant engineers only to have them work on uninteresting things like financial reports. My company created a whole separate job title which basically equates to "less skilled and lower payed developer" so we can hire more average engineers to do that kind of work without diluting our quality of engineers.
Not sure what you mean by "repurpose meaning" in your career but if you are asking how do you get ahead / promoted then I think the answer is probably not going to happen at your current company. You probably have to interview for the position you really want at other companies. Its easier to start at a manager / senior level at a new company. Grad school is probably not going to get you the promotion

You need to be able to interview really well. That's really it. I am an ok engineer. Not a rockstar by any stretch of the imagination. In fact I really don't like tech at all. I just like the pay. One thing that I can do is interview really well. I have had probably 25 - 30 interviews over my career and I have gotten an offer in every one. Its relatively straight forward to do (not easy). Make sure you look presentable which means getting in physical shape. Dress well. Speak with confidence. Act like you belong there and that you are who they want. Act like you already earned the job. Be confident but not cocky. People want to work with someone they could see hanging out with. Make sure you ask a few questions but nothing crazy. Make sure you maintain that confidence once you get the job. Just look at the whole thing as a game.

I have never had a leet code style interview so your mileage may vary. The effort required to pass a skills based test is not worth it to me. I am currently a tech lead at a fortune 500 company making more money than I would have dreamed (I grew up very poor); probably not as much as I would make at a FAANG but again I have no interest in investing the effort required to prep for a whiteboard coding style interview. I'll probably shoot for a director position somewhere else in a couple years.

If you are asking how do you learn to love your job like the people on HN who eat, breath and sleep software? No idea, I don't like it. Its just a job. I use it to pay for things I am passionate about. Learn to love yourself first, everything else will follow. Get in shape if you aren't already. The answer is not in grad school.

This is, ironically, one of the best reasons to try a battle royale game like Apex Legends. Once winning at all is put far out of reach, the psychological aspect to losing vanishes and you can have fun purely with gameplay. The extent of SBMM in a chaotic anything-goes game like Apex is one lobby for KDRs below 2.0 and one lobby for those above, and despite firmly being in the 'below' range it's never gotten old.
The goal of the provisional government was to lead Russia to become a democratic and free country, not a dictatorship of genocidal madmen. The end goal of it was a fully legitimate government and this was destroyed by bolsheviks who took over the control and murdered everybody who opposed them and was not able to escape.
Honestly just inertia. Those are not servers (where you could easily migrate to another distro taking advantage of infra-as-code tools), they are a desktop and a HTPC. I have accumulated a lot of custom dotfiles, Ubuntu-specific utilities and scripts over time, not all of them would work in another distro unchanged.

Removing Snap is not that hard, the "hardest" part is making sure that Firefox is installed from the Mozilla PPA and even that takes just a moment once you have the script saved somewhere.

By the way I had a look at some Ubuntu derivatives like PopOS or Mint and I might take the plunge at some point.
Opened the iTunes store an hour ago, searched "Handel", went to albums, but could not open any album. So yeah, it was down.
> Crazy they have physical masks with features as small as 7nm.

Everything about this is crazy complex, and the state of the art in any given year is also secret to TSMC and other tiny-feature-size fabs.

But in addition to gradually upping the narrow-bandwidth/phase-coherent illumination frequency every year (which has many problems but continues to see continual progress), they've also long been using techniques to work around the diffraction limit/resolution barrier [1], such as subwavelength metamaterial "hyperlenses" / "superlenses" (previously widely thought to be impossible even in theory) [2][3] and "assist features" and other non-traditional masking elements to pre-compensate for imaging distortions [4]. Plus they fiddle a lot with the chip process to tune it in weird ways to assist with or compensate for the previous issues.

I wonder if there will ever come a point where the algorithms are really just that good to keep people and newer generations hooked permanently, and that currently we are still in a supoptimal local maxima. For example, people play at the same casinos for decades.
It was the orator Cicero!

> Cicero hoped that his son Marcus would become a philosopher like him, but Marcus himself wished for a military career. He joined the army of Pompey in 49 BC and after Pompey's defeat at Pharsalus 48 BC, he was pardoned by Caesar. Cicero sent him to Athens to study as a disciple of the peripatetic philosopher Kratippos in 48 BC, but he used this absence from "his father's vigilant eye" to "eat, drink and be merry."

Developer First No-Code Form Builder
Being a developer, I'm tired of styling, adding validations, adding CRUD APIs, and hooking them up with the front end every time I need to create a form!

Although there are many great no-code form builders out there, most of them are built for marketers! Where I don't get the flexibility of connecting them with my own database, generating APIs & custom styling to match my website UI!

So I decided to build a developer's first no-code form builder. But first I need to make sure if it's only my problem if there's actually a market need for need.

If you are a developer & this sounds interesting, please consider joining the waitlist form https://form.softr.app.

Happy DDG user who also hates extra popups while browsing here:

I think this only happens if you install the DDG extension. So it's not exactly unsolicited.

I totally get DDG wanting people to be aware of their services. I use their email proxy service and it seems like a solid addition to their portfolio. For me, anything that requires additional action or distraction when I'm just trying to do this one quick thing gets disabled / removed.

How often are people actually signing up for things? Maybe this could be a separate extension or at least have an easier way to mute the injected ad?

Although Overcast has some infuriating UI/UX nonsense (like not remembering where you are if you swap away from the app, searches not being sorted, etc.) and some weird bugs (sometimes when you play, it'll do a couple of seconds and then stop.

On the other hand, it's the least worst podcast app I've tried on iOS thus far.

I don't disagree that it might very well escalate. But to the extent that the current conflict has already impacted our budget or the forecasted budget as outlined in the linked article I think is pretty negligible.

My point was that we are unlikely to find any "easy" cuts in defense spending - and a major conflict could make us regret it.
I don't understand the relevance, though. I'm not comparing cryptocurrency to other new services. I'm comparing it to the more traditional services.

That said, with things like Wise (which I'd never heard of until your comment), it pays to read the fine print and avoid the ones that don't offer any real protection for you.
It is fairly common that biological causation is suggested or suspected when dealing with a difference in outcomes along gender lines. Sex hormones as an factor for behavior is usual one of the first suspect, especially if the difference is found around or after puberty. There are historically a huge number of studies done on testosterone to demonstrate this leap done by both researcher and public opinion.

That said, much of those studies where later found to be mostly wrong, and testosterone tend to be a bad predictor and a very weak influence on behavior. It seems more that hormones have a stronger influence on shaping culture than it has on shaping behavior.

A legislative fix would be better than a judicial one. While unlikely, a large part of the need for QI would go away if the English Rule was adopted. It is far to easy to sue in the US over frivolous matters, and the US is the only OECD country that does not have the English Rule, which provides a pragmatic limit on those shenanigans.

There are bots for fighting games like the Rzr Infiltration bot for SFV and Smashbot for SSBM[1] which are good enough to take games off pro players. I'm not aware of it being abused at scale. Most people cheating in shooters or mobas aren't using full game-playing agents. They're using aimbots/skillshot scripts where you still need to move around and interact with stuff. Similarly, cheating in fighting games is typically done with button macros, so there's constant discussion on controller legality. However, button macros will only get you so far in fighting games, while an aimbot can get you close to the top of the ladder if undetected.

From another article:

"Emergency services were alerted to the crash at 12:02 p.m., the Little Rock Police Department said in a Facebook post.. There was a line of storms moving through the area around the same time, according to CNN Weather. There were no warnings alerted for the storms, but the National Weather Service issued a special statement calling for gusts up to 50 mph. The highest gust at the airport was 46 mph, recorded at 12:02 p.m."

https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/23/us/arkansas-plane-crash-five-...

It looks like the crash was because of the storms and that if the pilot had been more patient there wouldn't have been this loss of life.
That's a bit of a strawman argument. Using Windows as a host has many advantages especially if you game, use VR, need to use some Windows only software, or for better compatibility with some HW, or want a less janky, feature complete desktop environment (yes, as a distro hopper and GNOME + KDE user, I said it, fight me :P) that actually solved fractional scaling, and supports things like HDR for your laptop with OLED display.

Also WSL2 has way less overhead than using an actual Linux VM in something like Virtualbox.

It's not for everyone though, especially with the telemetry that has to be disabled, but to me it's the compromise that's best of both worlds and allows me to use the wide library of windows and Linux apps and tools natively on a single OS.
"All three said they wouldn’t discuss their views publicly on campus for fear of being reported to the school’s bias-response team for harassing students who disagree with them."

Anonymous complaints are ok and are important to allow. Providing an official method for "name and shame" based on anonymous complaints are not. Having a "bias-response team" come after you based on anonymous complaints is not acceptable.
I like Flatpak. I've even flatpaked some apps and made them available on Flathub. The only thing that dissapoints me is the fact that it integrates poorly with CLI apps.

Off topic: An idea that came to my mind a few days ago is that would have been great to add support for desktop apps to Podman by adding some extension or plugin capabilities to it instead of creating a new whole technology. Probably a silly idea though.
Whoa, what's wrong with respecting other people?

I assume your parent comment meant he doesn't respect them exclusively for being women and having fleshiness, but as a recognition of their qualities as human beings, if they're worth respecting.

At least, that's what any sensible adult should do. You can admire someone for being a good leader, honest, brave, smart, etc., regardless of their sex.

Show HN: Serializd: An App for TV Logging
Hello HN!
I wanted to share a passion project of mine. Its called Serializd, and its an app that allows you to track your TV content. Think of it like a Goodreads for TV (or a Letterboxd for TV).

Its currently available on iOS, Android, and the Web.

I built the iOS and Android apps using React Native. The web version uses NextJS on the Frontend, and Django on the Backend.

Currently, Serializd has 100k+ users. There is a strong focus on community and interacting with other people as you're logging your own TV watching and keeping up with the newest TV shows.
Do you plan to publish about what is being implemented soon / support ANN Benchmarks or BigANN Benchmarks?
> The overjustification effect occurs when an expected external incentive such as money or prizes decreases a person's intrinsic motivation to perform a task. ... Once rewards are no longer offered, interest in the activity is lost; prior intrinsic motivation does not return, and extrinsic rewards must be continuously offered as motivation to sustain the activity.

> Many seismologists thought the East Anatolian Fault—the one involved in the Turkey-Syria quakes—was likely to produce a maximum magnitude of 7.4 or 7.5. But the February 6 earthquake was a 7.8—about four times bigger on the logarithmic scale of earthquake magnitudes. So it is possible that some structures built to code in Turkey may simply have experienced more force than they were built to withstand, Taciroglu says.

There were probably some such cases, anyway this is as well interesting:

From https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/erzin-turkey-earthquake-b... :

The city that didn't collapse: How Erzin became a haven from Turkey's earthquake - Residents and officials say Erzin suffered no deaths and saw no buildings collapse, and they credit a long-standing policy not to allow construction that violated the country’s codes.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erzin,_Turkey :

Erzin was the sole district of Hatay Province to have none of its buildings collapse in the aftermath of the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake, despite being closer to the epicenter than other cities such as Iskenderun and Antakya which suffered greater damage. The mayor, Ökkeş Elmasoğlu claimed it was due to strict construction of housing; the district mostly consists of single houses, local authorities prohibited unsafe and substandard construction to a much greater degree than nearby areas, and apartment blocks do not have many floors. Even older structures such as houses from 60 years ago survived the earthquake.[4] Additionally, the city had fared relatively well during previous earthquakes. However, engineers and scientists (such as Omer Emre) attributed the town escaping unscathed to geological factors, such as Erzin's relatively higher sea level compared to surrounding towns, and it being built upon harder ground, consisting of bedrock and coarser grains than sand, compared to softer, water-laden sediments like that of cities to the south.

If you are using Ubuntu Pro(free or not) Debian isn't really an alternative.
Also I am not sure if Debian is as fast as Canonical in patching CVEs.

I like Debian, but after (free)Ubuntu pro, it really became attractive for me as a small server operator, its even better than free RHEL.

Could something like this be built for macOS too? I remember there used to be a Quartz plugin you could use to have a screensaver as a background so you could get animated backgrounds, but something like this would be fun to have. The issue with the screensaver as a desktop background if I recall was rapid battery drain: what kind of resources are required to use this one?

GP here. I use some tools that are Ubuntu specific. But I might look at Ubuntu derivatives such as Pop or Mint. As I said in my other comments, these are desktop/HTPC machines so, it's not as straight forward to change distro as it would be with a server.

If it all is wash trading, it is a lot of money to be spent on it. The fees assessed by dex LP's and gas fees would make anyone doing a substantial amount of wash trading lose money quickly and the activity would burn out.

The 'real world' stuff naturally happens in the real world, and not on chain. An example - last year I used a lending app to cover some of my taxes for a few months. I deposited asset X that I didn't want to sell at the time, borrowed their bespoke stable coin against it, swapped that for USDC, withdrew the USDC to coinbase, swapped it to USD and put it in my bank account to pay my taxes. When I could pay it back, I basically did the reverse. And at the end of the day because the lending application was offering 'borrow incentives' with their governance token, I ended up slightly ahead in after paying their repayment fee and gas fees. And all this was done with only substantial human counterparty risk when it came to interacting with coinbase. I found that useful and certianly helpful to me in a real world way. But if you only looked on chain it would not look like anything in the real world was happening at all and just lots of virtual bits moving around.
They should have to put up a huge, long term, refundable bond that can be drawn on to remediate environmental damage for the next several decades.

There are 100+ year old gold mines in northern Canada that are an environmental problem and the companies (and super wealthy families) that benefited are long gone. We should switch to a model that assumes the rich are externalizing long term costs and collect money from them upfront to pay for those costs.

The bank workers told me they don't keep a lot of cash on hand to minimize robberies.

The thing I wonder about is why did online banking start requiring scheduled payments for anything over a $100 or so about five years ago? Now they often make me wait a few days to clear a payment, unless it's internal to the bank itself (e.g. my checking account to pay off my same bank cc account).

I'm sure they're investing my money short term and the holds give them more time and flexibility to do so. However, tying up account money in short term invesments means their liquidity will be reduced.

If you were PayPal would you not invest user funds overnight (or longer) based on projections of inflow/outflow? If not you'd be cheating your shareholders. However the temptation to hold on to user funds as long as possible would be constantly present. That's almost certainly what's happening.
