Making flash cards is in the low gain category, and that is very popular. Disciplined testing using those cards wasn't nearly as common from what I saw, people just made them and then forgot about them. Or just read through them without putting in effort trying to answer each one without looking at the answer. Doing those properly requires effort.
Good. Qualcomm can burn for their shitty driver policy. Main reason why Android upgrades are (it's getting better ...) such a clusterfuck.
I’ve been a customer for over a decade, and have had a bunch of clients sign up for hosting.

20% increase after no price increases ever seems reasonable, but I’m going to be looking around for alternatives to recommend if things start to decline.

Less than half of California students read or do math at grade level
People have been literally saying this since 2016. I don't know anything about car manufacturing, but current evidence suggests the cloning Tesla is harder than it appears. Give me a year when you expect an American car maker to sell even a quarter of the electric vehicles that Tesla sells that year.
I'm also 41, and would have the same feedback if I steeled myself to learning something new like game development. These keen-eyed kids and their crazy resolutions!
I am not a landlord and probably won't ever be one, but looking at it from a financial standpoint, it seems smarter to have 2 2br 1ba apartments for rent than 1 4br 2ba apartment. They would take up roughly the same space, albeit maybe with smaller rooms, but 2 $1500 incomes would provide a more stable income than 1 $3,000 apartment if for no other reason than it is unlikely both tenants would leave at the same time.

Worst case you drop to $1,500 for a month or so instead of losing all $3,000 income while you wait for a new tenant to appear.

Ask HN: Best path to Emacs for lifelong vi guy?
I've used vi my entire adult life. (I've never plumbed the depths of Vim, I just use it as a vi substitute.) I acknowledge and affirm that Emacs is brilliant, but I'm very comfortable with modal editing (and suspect that it's superior to Emacs' UI). What's the best way to dive in: start with vanilla Emacs, or start with Evil or viper mode?
This made a splash after conservative commentator Lauren Southern claimed her mom was banned without ever booking anything for her daughter. I'm not sure why Southern was banned though but i doubt it was because she was trashing the homes of hosts.

[Edit] Southern claims she was originally banned due to public affiliation with certain groups against Airbnb policies and community standards

I feel like this is getting a little nuanced. “They bought a company to get a head start, thus they didn’t actually create their own modem.”

It’s been roughly four years since that purchase. Surely they’ve done some work since then that would justify labeling it as “Apple created their own modem.”

I feel like this would be comparable to me saying I cooked dinner and someone replying “you bought the food from Kroger and the cookbook from Barnes & Noble, so it doesn’t count” while I stare at a pile of dirty dishes like “sure feels like it counts.”
I can't wait for a tool that would allow me to draw architecture diagrams, and maybe even process animations to explain how my software works.

Bias suggests incomplete data or poorly sampled or manipulated - this is none of that. These are raw statistics on the functionality of a system - if you want to introduce bias to weight certain miles more than others that’s on you and you can do any analysis you want but Tesla is reporting what they should be - the raw statistics.
Germany sat out the initial phase of the EV transition. Just like most of the US and Japan.

This is not how this works anymore. The system that is behaving this way must be relatively old at this point since almost all modern Debian based distros use the "mirror://" URI syntax now that automatically falls back to another mirror if one fails.
I don't think git is unusual in that regard, and I think those complaints would be unjustified. Loads of tools work totally fine with only the barest understanding of how to use them, occasionally have problems that require a bit more understanding of their internal model, and even more rarely require deep knowledge of their internal model. I think most development teams would be totally fine with only a single member who has a slightly better understanding of the internal model. That knowledge only comes into play very rarely for me. If nobody were available with that knowledge, those teams could make do by simply copying the work into unmanaged text files for a few minutes and then just "manually" override the botched merge that got them into trouble.
I was referring to the personality question, not desk tidiness.

It helps to not make incorrect assumption about who has read what.

You add nothing with such a vague comment, only distraction. If you have a problem with what I wrote, state the problem or don't bother subtracting value.

(Hint: I did, and yes I understand that he didn't even realize what it was until years later. I also recall being taught in middle school to capture and mount insects, so it isn't just the handful of PhDs doing it who will actually do DNA analysis on it...)
The main issue with lots of trades in the US is the onerous licensing requirements: 4 years of experience under a licensed electrician before you get a license. In most parts of the developed world, vocational training was/is seen as a lesser field despite trades absolutely making bank these days.

Also, technology has evolved in lots of trades making work a lot easier than it used to be: Wago connectors and a variety of push-fittings for electricians, PEX for plumbers and so on.
> Even though they didn't increase their nominal prices, my prices raised steadily during all that time. Usually with some minor amount of extra resources added without me requesting them.

This is strange, I've been a customer for a long time and never noticed that.
I bought a tiny bit of stock before the SPAC merger and I've come to the same conclusion.

Did you know the entire company is really controlled by the king of Saudia Arabia? That's a fun fact buried deep in the investor docs. Perhaps he and the company don't care if it's successful? Maybe they'd even like it to fail.
The only thing states need to do is include trades as part of high school curriculum.

Personal interest and market will handle the rest. People will always go where the jobs are, and they will train themselves up if its something they believe they can do to improve their lives.
I believe you're correct, although pedantically that would only apply if one is using their vpc-cni <https://github.com/aws/amazon-vpc-cni-k8s#readme> and not with a competing CNI. Kubelet offers a configurable for the number of Pods per Node <https://github.com/kubernetes/kubelet/blob/v0.26.2/config/v1...> which defaults to 110 for what I would presume is CIDR or pid cgroups reasons and thus is unlikely to differ by instance size as the ENI limit you mention does (IIRC)

You seem to be suggesting that an entire race in the US should just get over it because it happened so long ago, which is the same gaslighting this woman is said to have done. Since you are doing this to an entire race, denying the importance of their experience and pain, you are in a class of their abusers regardless of your race.
Yes, it is important to understand that using open-source software in a commercial SaaS is immoral.

However, it should be noted that it applies only to open-source projects that were created by billion-dollar startups like Mongo or Elastic. Using software like Apache, Linux or Postgres is totally fine because it doesn't deprive SV startups (that are so precious to HN) of additional profits.
That's gratuitous and done for spite only. I really don't want to do business with a company that seeks revenge because of internal political activism. It's gross. Within their legal rights as it stands today, but gross nonetheless.

Well, do the hard work when drywall comes off for any reason.
That should have been done for at least 10 years now, but somehow many lack the foresight/suffer from broken incentives (put in data wiring when you have the opportunity, and bury fiber/speedpipes when you dig a street up. Still, doesn't happen, because broken incentives.)

Ask HN: Legal question – liability for printed card deck of computer pranks
Hi

I am teaching my daughter how to code, and now I am running various pranks on her computer. For example, every time you alt+tab there is a weird beep sound, or the computer randomly restarts every 10 minutes, or after 10 minutes in Minecraft the keyboard presses 'W' for 3 seconds, or I move her mouse remotely and etc... (some are extremely evil, like stopping half the internet 128.0.0.0/1 or 0.0.0.0/1 every 10 minutes for 3 seconds)

I made a whole deck of cards (each prank fits on one playing card): https://github.com/jackdoe/programming-for-kids/blob/master/projects/panic/cards-small.pdf

I sell the decks for 5€ (e.g.: https://punkx.org/c-pointer-game/ or https://punkx.org/punk0/) but for this one, I am not even sure what kind of lawyer should I talk to, to make sure I am not liable if a user of the deck damages someone's computer. I also aded epilepsy warning on the cards that are very visual (like randomly rotating the screen 90 degrees).

The deck is also licensed CC BY 4.0, so anyone can re-print it, and are the people printing it and sharing it liable as well? The warning I have now is made by me and you can see it on the first card, but I will also paste it here:

It is more open than most of the competition. The “ethical” licensing they opted for however makes them incompatible with both FLOSS and open science definitions of open. Models that are open and true to the name would for example be GPT-J.
I can’t comprehend the decision to buy an electric car if you don’t charge at home.

Well most people don't call it an anchor tag, they call it an a or link tag. I think the battle for clear naming is already lost. What would be a good alternative name for anchor positioning, though?
This is very much a US perspective. In the UK for example, software engineering is nothing special with regards to compensation and trades can in fact yield more.
> something Casey has likely never had the problem of worrying about in game development.

This is simply not true, and has in all likelihood worked on such problems given his work at RAD whose software has been used in +20 years at this point.

> The problems of software performance come from decades of poorly/quickly executed evolutionary change resulting in bad systems design.

This may be true of some code bases, but it's demonstrably false for new software that's created today. Lots of new software gets built and it's slow.

Q: How to allow AI research without imperiling life on Earth?

A: Put AI researchers on a rocket pointed away from Earth in stasis until they reach a distance where they become separated from our light cone via cosmic inflation.
Javascript is plenty fast if you are running a reasonable amount of it, as in: just enough to do what the user wanted. It's slow when you use the popular "DevEx" frameworks that recreate the entire world at the slightest change so that the developers don't need to think too hard.

Consider VS Code, software generally considered to be fast enough: every single interaction is handled by a dedicated, hand written, event handler which wherever possible directly modifies existing DOM nodes with the smallest amount of change possible.

This is miles from React. It's what SolidJS aims to do, but the state of the art here seems to be about equivalent to ASM vs Compiled C in 1980: an expert can get miles better performance by dropping down as far as possible in the stack themselves. Not to mention SolidJS forces you into their "lens" of JS, where variables are functions and functions are auto-invoked at the compilers will. And don't even think about refactoring an expression inside JSX to be outside of it or else you'll break all of reactivity. Unless you wrap it in another function, of course.
IIRC they banned Southern not for her politics but for being closely associated to people who had unacceptable politics, and then banned her parents for being closely associated with Southern.
I grew up in a midwest state where they did that exact thing. Half of those people still ended up working at arby's/etc because there were only so many apprentice slots and the sons and daughters of tradesman got them.
> In this industry, a contract with MS is as close to directly having a DOD contract as you can get.

Yep. While also partnering with the ultimate villain in the open software fight. Funded by taxpayer money yet closed... that's actually a lot of things.
That checks out. I'm always skeptical of these happily-ever-after stories about working in the trades. We've been hearing about a shortage of plumbers and electricians in developed countries for decades. One would think that young people would rush in to fill this gap, given the risk of getting a costly degree only to end up working at a Starbucks.

And yet, the HVAC and electrician industry remains understaffed. Maybe it's not such a great industry to work in?
Thought experiment: could we ever have a journal article titled "Pioneering White American Women Chemists and Pharmacists"?
I have fun as an electrician that is not a union electrician because I am free to choose my work.
I can't think of any competitors in the same space. Maybe they exist, but they're terrible at advertising. Hotels aren't the same industry. Completely different experience.
Anyone know if this will be an openly available model?

TigerEye (YC S22) is hiring machine learning and full stack engineers
I'm a "car person"—grew up watching Top Gear, etc. When I bought my first car, I bought a Scion XB with a stick shift, particularly because I was buying it (used) at around the same time the Tesla Roadster and very early Model S were hitting the roads. I realized that electrification was imminent, and that it was increasingly likely that my next cars wouldn't even have a gearbox (in the user perceivable gear-shifting sense).

And, boy, I was right: my lineage of vehicles was Scion XB -> Tesla Model 3 (first production) -> Tesla Model S Plaid.

I was so right to get a stick shift when I did. I recently rented a car in Argentina while traveling with a friend, and it was so much fun to go back to stick for a week.

> The salaries are significantly lower, to the point where 90th percentile electricians often make less than 10th percentile engineers [1]

Do you have a source for this? How much of that derives from tech workers generally living in high COL areas and needing higher salaries, while electricians are distributed throughout the land at all COL?

I have no doubt that high-earning engineers outearn high-earning electricians, but the assumption about this disparity seems suspect to me, without a source to back it up.
I can't count how many times any push back at all on the over-representation of LGBT in media is met with "you're threatening their right to exist", which is not only absurd but how would that even be accomplished if not as I said above?
First, Apple is known to squeeze every penny from their suppliers to improve their bottom line.

Second, likewise, Apple sued every single wireless patent holders (eg, Nokia, Ericsson, Qualcomm, etc) to negotiate better licensing terms -- but, to be fair, it's not uncommon for other smartphone OEMs to do so in court.

Third, Apple's legal argument was always that Qualcomm's per-device (ie, final product) royalty basis licensing offer was not FRAND. Apple believes that the royalty should be based on the cost of Qualcomm's chips instead. But, of course, there is no legal basis or industry practice to support Apple's unfounded claim and, consequently, LOST EVERY lawsuit based on this claim for past 10+ years.

Fourth, "... then also to sue various downstream part contractors ..." No, you don't sue everyone in supply-chain. The wireless patent holders collect their royalty only once and at the top of the supply-chain, ie, smartphone OEMs, to maximize their profit. and that's been the industry practice for much of the past 25+ years (possibly even longer).

Fifth, "... it was untenable to have to source all of their LTE stuff from Qualcomm ..." Umm.. Stop, stop, stop!

So in conclusion, it's all about saving Apple's margin, that's all. I don't blame any company for trying to minize their cost, but the recent event with Qualcomm, ie, FTC's attack on Qualcomm with Apple orchestrating behind the curtain, was highly unethical and abuse of their political power.
