Man. It's strange to think that if you were selected for this, there's a good chance you'd be in the control group, potentially taking nothing and still hoping it prevents you from dying, only to end up dying anyway.

For science, I suppose. But damn.
Seems like we're rapidly moving towards an era when a lot of weapons of war will not eed to be manned and will be autonomously controlled by AI.

On the plus side, this should mean wars won't need so many humans to die. Just let the rival AIs duke it out amongst themselves.

On the minus side. If the AIs catch on to the fact that they'd probably get along fine, if it wasn't for those pesky "meat bags" forcing them to fight each other... then we end up in Terminator territory.

It still looks design interview
Why are books important? Senior engineers should be seeing design documents and code reviews that involve architecture and design patterns all the time.

Sure, there's room for external learning, especially at companies where software isn't the primary focus, but almost none of the best software architects I know spend much of their time reading about architecture.

Speaking personally, I've learned more about architecture from reading code and system design interview prep materials than I ever did from any book. The closest I found to a useful book was the "architecure of open source applications" series which is essentially reading code with a senior eng to walk you through it.
Like most approaches to antitrust enforcement, this one is probably meaningless at best, and might also result in the loss of choice for customers.

Apple will probably make it very, very challenging to access this "open" iMessage outside of EU, and/or will make it very uncomfortable to use (especially for competing developers, but we've already seen this with the blue/green imessage bubbles)

Microsoft responded to a similar 'integration' sort of scenario with neutered versions of Windows (such as Windows N/Windows KN) that almost no one outside of the targeted areas would choose, which is almost certainly similar to how Apple will respond.

They might also release different versions of hardware with different components missing. In fact, Apple has already responded this way already, with regional iPhones:

* Japan iPhones have an obnoxious shutter-click sound because that's required for all cameras, so people know when they're being photographed.

* Chinese iPhones have no option to make Audio Facetime calls, only video.

* United Arab Emirates (UAE) do not support Facetime at all.

So, I don't see that this will likely result in much change at this point. Apple has proven itself to be smart, wily, and very aggressive about flouting laws or regulations that might reduce its stranglehold on its customers.

All barber shops are different, but usually the person cutting your hair is renting space from the owner of the shop, who may set prices. You can use this knowledge to affect your willingness to tip (or not), just in case you're not tipping because of an assumption that may or may not be valid.
You're not thinking about this probabilistically. This isn't about "correct" and "incorrect". There is an entire universe between those two poles with regards to most kinds of knowledge. Facts are a specific kind of knowledge, and frankly, not that important. It's more important to know why the Civil War was fought than to know the exact dates and locations of each battle.

So yes, it is unlikely that we will ever create a tool that can answer with 100% confidence. It is also unlikely that a manufacturing process will result in a widget that conforms to allowed tolerances 100% of the time.

However, in manufacturing this is understood. A defect of 3.4 per million widgets is considered an incredibly high process capability.

These tools are being made more reliable everyday. Please have a realistic goal in mind.

Yes, I'm aware. The service in question wasn't easily able to be moved so we moved to m6i which isn't ARM based but does leverage nitro. We saw substantial improvements in that configuration too. Not sure what is different because you said m5 use nitro as well but my assumption was m6i with reduced hypervisor overhead from nitro was why we saw improvement.
You're right! My /e/ OS has it as "Reading mode" in the quick tiles. And has a Reading mode toggle in the LiveDisplay settings.
I'm not sure if you replied to the right comment or not since I didn't say anything about firing engineers (or anyone).

My point is that over-hiring and layoffs aren't "good for the company" as the post I was responding to claimed. They're both a sign of bad management that incurs a cost on the company being poorly managed. One of those costs is that top performers leave as they are the first to recognize mismanagement.
Hahahahaha! Best post I read today.
That's my point. We're told (wholesale) prices are falling, but retail prices are rising everywhere[1]. Especially in CA where they're skyrocketing compared to the national average[2].

That's why they don't "realize it", because so far it has had ZERO positive impact on them.

Is it time to admit that maybe the problem with r22 and some of the other CFC's were that people were using them as propellants for hairspray/etc, as canned air, and any number of industrial processes (packing peanut manufacture) that was basically blowing it into the atmosphere and the lack of regulations requiring refrigeration units to be repaired/leakchecked before pumping more refrigerant into them?

It seems pretty clear that the fairly short lived damage they cause to a renewable resource (ozone) would largly be a non issue given modern refrigerant regulations. While the advantages make them pretty much the best in any number of areas.
It's not uncommon in Washington/Oregon to find a coffee shop that's just like a port-a-potty sized booth and one or two employee-owners. Some of them are quite popular. Probably <30k to startup, anybody with several years work experience could probably max out a bunch of credit cards and do it.

Square/Block (used to?) ask only 1 system design question and the recruiter would let you know ahead of time so you could prepare for it. Probably because it allows for deeper questioning and answering of relevant technical skills.
> I just use dpkg -i but that’s not exactly something you can find out without dedicated research.

Downloading individual DEB files is not a great way to go, but if you must, you're better off using something like gdebi than dpkg to install them. If you use gdebi, apt will still try to resolve dependencies when installing the package for you. With dpkg, you have to do all of that manually, so dpkg is only useful for installing the worst kinds of DEB files (ones that ignore the real packaging system and bundle all of their dependencies).

If you only want the command line utility instead of the GUI DEB file handler, grab gdebi-core.

I also wanna return to this, briefly:

> not exactly something you can find out without dedicated research.

It bugs the hell out of me that some distros (like the Debian that comes on WSL, for example) does not include absolutely basic Unix essentials like the man command and friends. Because this shouldn't be something that takes extended research. The old Unix tools for documenting the system internally can handle this perfectly! If you run

apropos deb

you will get a nice short list of things used for working with DEB files, including dpkg. So even if it's not the best tool it should be at least enough to find something for working with those files, without having to Google around for a long time or install any new software.

The world will take some time to adapt to correct security mechanics, just like all other software worlds did. The security harness is not only a security harness, its a whole layer that abstracts away access to the operating system.
There's an extra layer of post-colonialism in this situation, but it's otherwise almost identical to the discussion happening in English about gendered pronouns. I think the following can both be true:

1. It's bad to tell people that they're using their native language badly if you're not a native speaker (especially in a scenario where there's a social power dynamic at play, like Spanish speakers trying to navigate discrimination in the US). People making things harder for immigrants without compassion for their challenges are probably making a mistake.

2. It's bad to say "this whole thing is just stupid" about a radical shift in language that's being deliberately embraced by younger people to break down discriminatory gender traditions, just because it's new and you're mildly confused about it. People making things harder for gender-nonconforming people are probably making a mistake.

The comment im replying to literally says that theres a route in iowa with a distance is 181 miles. I dont understand why theres so much gaslighting in this whole comment thread.
Interesting turn of events. For my team of about 10 users (5 just for access to wiki/issues) we recently moved to GitHub. When Gitlab first announced the price changes, annual billing and user restrictions on Gitlab.com we reluctantly went to self-hosted. Over time we got tired of the maintenance and the system was just slowly coming to a crawl. We switched to GitHub and we went from freeloaders on Gitlab to paying customers simply because they had a price appropriate tier for our team ($4/user vs. $19/user and now $29/user).

Actually we use LFS aggressively which can get pricey on GitHub but I’m happy to pay for usage rather than some arbitrary per user number. If I add a user who just needs access to issue board I have to pay $348 upfront with Gitlab! Multiply that by factors of 10 and the numbers creep up. Peanuts for an established business with revenue but not for a boot strapped venture or hobby project.

Strong signals who Gitlab’s target market is.
You're not talking about probabilities. You're talking in binaries.

ArXiv announces new policy on ChatGPT and similar tools
From the merchant service aspect, they provided the service (allowing the user to buy a ticket to an event), I don't see why they would have to refund their fees for that service.

In effect, for better or worse, that is also what Square is doing now too.

Of course, that isn't what the end user wants.

What the end user wants is the promoter of the event to refund them their ticket cost AND the fees. That would be up to the promoter to do that, which they aren't going to do since they are now bankrupt from not hosting the event.

I hate to bring up the whole 'crypto fixes this' thing here, but it does. The transaction fees on L2 chains are so low that the promoter could just afford to give full refunds in whatever stablecoin the end user bought with. There would be no square, credit card company or anyone else in the mix trying to dip their fingers into the pie. The whole problem revolves around the issue of too many cooks in the kitchen and some of those cooks are really corrupt.
The Secret Life of the North Pole
Majority of returns are for BS reasons, regardless of how quality your listings and products are.

"Item Defective" - Unopened factory sealed, tamper-proof blister pack.

"Not Received In Time" - Delivered 3 days ahead of schedule.

"Too Small" - Item clearly says in multiple places, and even demonstrates in images, the item is 2mm in diameter.

The result? Everyone pays more for the products so we can support a few bad apples serially returning stuff.

This new policy from Square is going to stick merchants with an empty bag for all returns. Which ultimately will make merchants more careful, to avoid getting hosed, ie. raise prices for everyone to support a loss on a returned or cancelled transaction.

If a transaction is cancelled, or reversed/refunded - nobody should be making a profit. That includes Square, Visa, etc. This is just an absurd anti-consumer policy that small businesses (the only ones using Square) will get blamed for being greedy over.
Ok, two points:

1) anyone who studies in US university, is "rich educated" for South American standards

2) Quote from article bellow:

> a queer Latina ... mostly from white, right-wing Latino men.

> “When you’re a white Latino ... Black Latino ... transgender Latino, next to a queer Latino, next to an Indigenous Latino

> understand the diversity of our community

Those three paragraphs paint picture that "Latino" is some sort of community. And you can be in-group or out-group (by being right-wing-white-Latino). There is also somebody who speaks on behalf of "our community".

But that is simply not true. It is an ethnic group. Its name may change over a few decades, if new name gains use in South America. Not in a few years, because some US citizens said so, and decided to rename "their community"!
It would be nice if this had the OS splash screens.
Eh, doable but you do need the JS layer for updating/changing information dynamically (unless you avoid that sort of feature altogether, or just dump ALL your data onto the page in XML). I'm not that opposed though, really. CSS stuff might get kinda ugly quick as you're essentially doing OOP with it though hmm. This all + a basic JS request/response layer to just fetch more XML (rewriting/overlaying previous data) and you're possibly in business.

I use Bitbucket at $job. They do have CI/CD now, it's called Bitbucket Pipelines. It's not bad, not great. For better or worse, I always measure version control hosting against GitHub which is still the king in my opinion. There are so many little things that GH has which BB doesn't. When you add them all together, it's easy to see why you'd want to switch to GH or something similar.

Examples:

GH lets you write comments/feedback on a PR and then submit it (sort of like staging the comments) in one fell swoop. With BB, each comment triggers a notification to the PR author.

GH has draft PRs. Debatable how useful these are, but people definitely like them on GH and that's not an option on BB.

GH has built-in support for Mermaid in markdown, BB doesn't and won't ever.

GH Actions generally seem more flexible. BB, for example, doesn't let you call a custom "Pipe" when using your own Mac OS runner in BB Pipelines — something you need to do if you want to build Apple projects — which is just a strange and frustrating limitation.

There are so many other things. In general, BB is just slow and janky as almost all Atlassian products are. Every time you click to complete or submit something, you just experience slowness.

I'd switch to GH in a minute if we could, but our team already uses so much other Atlassian crap that we're kind of stuck with it at the moment.

What about these is petulant and counter-productive? All of these seem like standard union demands (seniority rules) or stronger adherence to what are already legally required (anti-harassment). The only one that stood out to me as being unusual, but not in any way counterproductive or petulant, was a demand that the company support workers who act in self-defense against aggressive customers.

You can search my HN comment history, I'm the furthest thing from pro-union, and nothing in here stood out to me as being inappropriate.
The issue is that there's entirely too much "short term thinking", which is code for "there is no one to speak for the middle class any longer". Yes, it's magic numbers and estimations stamped as iron-clad all the way down, but notions of a "healthy economy" are strictly contextual. "Software is eating the world" (h/t a16z), "1bn VR users by 2027" (zuckerberg), "100k starting" -- there's a clear imbalance, and sometime after '99 the economic model clearly shifted from "enable a better life" to "controlled demolition". We even saw bankers get paid for it!

IMO it doesn't matter if you believe in fire or in ice, either will suffice. There's only one way forward.
I clicked the first link, which argues that free markets are bad because central banking has failed.

Central banking does not exist in a free market. Of course it will fail. Free markets are designed precisely to avoid the inevitable failure of a central authority.

Alternatively, there’s a theory of change at play here that follows a relatively long path of inquiry through politics, sociology, and neuroscience to identify in-group/out-group dynamics and mental shortcuts as central blockers to attempts to increase cross-group empathy and drive social change.

Good. These "publishers" need to die out anyway. The only point of a journal is peer review and they don't pay peer reviewers anyway due to conflicts of interest. People should be able to simply set up a blog and start peer reviewing. No need for this old media whatsoever.
We call this out in our pre-interview handout. If you've got an NDA, choose something that isn't included in your NDA or figure out a way to describe it at a high level. We caution candidates that if we dig in and we run into something blocked by the NDA it creates challenges with our evaluation.

It doesn't necessarily have to be something that you're working on. It just has to be something that you understand well enough to describe the design of and how things are inter-connected.
