I disagree that Bach is simple (I'm not sure what pure means in this context). Bach wrote contrapuntal music. This means you can have two, three, four, or five independent voices that sum up to a whole while maintaining their individual lines. He also included techniques like inversions and retrogrades where the same lines occur backwards or upside down. And he included a great deal of symbolism and numerology in the music. The music is also, at times, very harmonically modern for his time. His music is often wildly virtuosic too — try playing the Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue — it is a showpiece. "Simple" is just the wrong word.
I have often wondered why people use things like Jira, Gitlab, Confluence etc when there are better, simpler, cleaner, and more stable alternatives are available. I always assumed it must be that these are much cheaper than the alternative. Or a compliance need to install things and keep data on your own infrastructure.

The other thing is listening. Really listening. It's not difficult, expensive, or arcane magic. I have heard many things I wished I could un-hear and I've saved time on those I couldn't stand.
Yeah, COBS works. In my case, I can even go simpler, since messages are fixed size. But:

1) This is now part of the line code. And "uart + slip but modified" starts losing some of the "simplest thing" charm of "just do what everyone else does."

2) Looking at this without reference to previous work, it sure seems unlikely to be the simplest thing. Magic numbers everywhere -- 8N1 uses 8 bit bytes to support ~5% clock skew, which isn't reflective of the application; COBS forces sub-packets at 255-ish byte intervals, which doesn't match any inherent concept, etc. It can work, but does it make sense in isolation?
Thanks. Yeah, big penalty of you don’t switch to Medicare.
> I ask people to design a system but the system itself is very write heavy. Like 50 writes per read imbalanced. People will often suggest a cache because it's in the standard interview prep but not actually think about why they need it.

I mean, it's a cool thought process to go "Ooh, maybe I can store up repeated things so I don't need to repeat an expensive access process often!" It's a byproduct of modern computing hardware that we frequently have the luxury of not thinking about caching very often.

I don't think you should punish people for considering a cache. Write caching is a thing, it might just not be applicable for the system you're considering.

This might sound crazy, but I always thought this sort of thing would be better as a matchmaking service than a long-term companion.

Transition the user a real person who is similar to the bot. The users can decide how fast they want to take it into a real relationship and what the boundaries are. The bots could even help facilitate this since they'd know so much about the users already.

It’s not arrogance to not want to be judged by someone who literally hasn’t done and probably could never do what you’ve accomplished.

The unspoken secret is that most software engineers in the industry (even at FAANGS) can really only add features to existing systems. They can’t build green field.

I'm involved in local politics in Oak Park, IL, also known as the People's Republic of Oak Park, 85.5% Clinton in '16, 72% college educated, median income about $15k higher than Evanston, and I have never heard any of these words in the elite white conversations I am continually dragged into.

These guides get published to give The Groups something to do. Very few people in the real world --- yes, even the elite whites --- take them seriously.

> There seems to be this weird erasure of women taking place at the moment.

This is the crazy thing. After a century of legitimate struggle for equality, women are having the language of feminism turned on them to deny the existence of femininity. Honestly, I thought the lines would have been drawn with sport, but that fact that it's leaking into medicine is pure insanity.

I've been somewhat worried about there not being much of place in the world for my sons when they grow up. Now I'm imagining needing to explain to my daughter that there's no point having any sporting aspirations unless they are in a sport where biological women have an advantage.

Edit: on reflection, perhaps it was completely foreseeable. Modern feminism spent a lot of time dismantling masculinity; it makes some sense that femininity would be next against the wall.

Girl you gotta get off the internet. No one is demanding you use this language. It’s actually the opposite where people have a visceral reaction to someone voluntarily choosing to use inclusive language. Style guides like these are for awareness, everyone has had the moment where they discover a word they picked up is actually offensive. One that happened for me was “gypped.” A lot of the guides do contain silly substitutions but that’s because they’re wrong about the history of the words and their usage not because the idea or intent is bad.

No, in Japan the blocks have numbers, not names. So an address looks like:

<postal code> <prefecture> <city> <district> <num>-<num>-<num>-<apt. num>

Or in English style:

<num>-<num>-<num> <district>
<building name> <apt num> (optional, can also append the apt number to the 3 numbers on the top line)
<city> <prefecture> <postal code>

The 2nd <num> is the "block", the first is the "chome" which is a division of the district within the city, and the 3rd is the building number.
Otherwise, you're correct. The streets have no names (except for big thoroughfares, but these aren't used for addresses anyway), and buildings have numbers, which are usually assigned by when they were built.
This article is fact-free bullshit. Last Employee FYI, I can't quote or divulge anything, but the term was used.

Why is that? I’m genuinely curious. Who should be offended by the word slave? Is it I, the Slav? The etymology of the word concerns my heritage, and yet I’m not offended. It’s not as though people toying with language today is going to bring back my relatives who died as slaves, nor will it undo the suffering they endured.
Right, so you see a bunch of couples that stay together while quietly resenting each other, just as the OP said. I don't see how that's better than divorce. It's better to be single than miserably married.
> And the question you then ask yourself is whether becoming angry made things better? [...] The point isn’t that nobody should ever feel anger or that anger is never an appropriate reaction to a situation.

I think certain interests are using young people as their minions. They understand that young people are impressionable, and to a large extent are easy to manipulate. With little effort it's very easy whip up anger, frustration, anxiety, whatever you want.

On the surface it seems to work: anger = action. "Look, we mobilized a large crowd! we're fighting $causedujour". However the excitement eventually wears off, with now lots of angry and upset people, and a cause that they can't really fix easily. Feeling manipulated is pretty hard to accept, especially for someone who considers themselves an educated and progressive person.

I remember the Oberlin College Bakery incident. The administrators were very aware about having rigid control over the students as if they were some mind controlled zombies. (quote from [1]: Raimondo reacted to Copeland's statement in a private text message: "Fuck him. I'd say unleash the students"). I always wondered how students felt afterwards, did some realize, perhaps years later, they were used? Can't imagine that being a great feeling...

I mean if I write a noodle nest empire, will I be less likely to get laid off again?

It's also way more fun and cool to say "I'm working on my noodle nest" than "I'm working on my clean code."

Neat little blocks hmm? With Noodle Nest method, your code can twist and turn in any direction, just like a bowl of noodles.
With Noodle Nest, you don't waste time worrying about readability or maintainability. You just write, and let your code take on a life of its own.

Tell HN: I physically can’t delete Tinder because of Fastmail/DDG email
This seems like a Fastmail / DuckDuckGo private e-mail problem.

Tinder support ticket emails go into a black hole.

Context:

I’m in a new city. I reset my Tinder account and bought 6 months of Platinum (their top tier).

I’m in Country A but I use a VPN for work that puts me in Country B. I forgot to keep my VPN off.

Tinder must have flagged my account within seconds. I have a single match that reappears every time it’s swiped left or right. I press “Delete Account” to reset it and nothing happens. Either dev console shows a 500 on the request or the Tinder app says “There was a problem”.

My emails to support don’t get replies. But the next day I receive an email that says “How was Mia’s support?”.

Maybe their review system gets to my inbox but their ticketing system doesn’t?

I believe this is because I signed up to Tinder using a DuckDuckGo email that is tied to Fastmail. Tinder support ticket emails never hit my inbox or spam.

How can I possibly delete my Platinum Tinder account and reset if the system blocks deletion attempts and Support tickets never get to my inbox? It’s an unusable subscription.
That's really interesting. Skimmed the paper really quickly, definitely need to do a deeper dive into the paper.

From the Abstract:

Despite Tiny Classifiers being constrained to a few hundred logic
gates, we observe no statistically significant difference in prediction performance in comparison to the best-performing ML
baseline. When synthesised as a Silicon chip, Tiny Classifiers
use 8-56x less area and 4-22x less power. When implemented
as an ultra-low cost chip on a flexible substrate (i.e., FlexIC),
they occupy 10-75x less area and consume 13-75x less power
compared to the most hardware-efficient ML baseline. On an
FPGA, Tiny Classifiers consume 3-11x fewer resources.

Seems like this would be a pretty significant result if true.

I don’t agree because not all interviews work that way, especially for teams that write cpp and c — they don’t let candidates interview in JS for instance.

I had a high level eng join a domain specific team I was on and he didn’t do well because he didn’t know the domain very well. He had general skills around leadership and communication that someone of his level should have, and it kept him afloat, but for a high level technical IC you need to be at worst fluent in the domain and at best a technical leader in the group.

At lower levels of IC generalist is fine, the blast radius of your technical decisions is smaller so it’s less risky to learn on the job.

But yeah, not knowing the domain you’re going to join, whether it’s a type of work or a programming language, you won’t be as effective.

Not unless there is slavery. People are not forced to work for any corporation and they are free to go work for another or start their own.

I did work as a child and did work 16 hour days and I don't regret doing so as the money I made doing so significantly improved the trajectory of my life.

Anyone can setup their organizations to use a LOT of ways to legally minimize their tax bill. For example, you can create a separate corporation in a non-tax state like Nevada and put most of your cash in it and if you are in California, you will completely not have to pay it if you do it right. See Apple Corporation's Braeburn Capital. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braeburn_Capital Apple uses this to avoid all California tax on that cash that they deposit in that company. California tax is 8.84%, and that is a LOT of money that they would have to otherwise pay.

There are other things that one can do, but there's a lot of record keeping and expense so you have to make enough money to make it worth it.

But just owning a company is a fantastic tax break by itself. You get to write off all kinds of things as an expense as long as it is for business purposes.

Angular is popular among software developers to build architecturally complex and content-heavy applications. Even though Angular is a robust framework by nature, sometimes performance optimization could be a concern when it comes to providing an enhanced user experience. However, there are various techniques we can try out as developers to minimize these performance issues.

In this article, I will share five tips and tricks to improve the load time in an Angular application.
I'm working on an adjacent field (3D avatar for interactive language learning), and I often see the angles for repurposing it into a "digital friend". The whole concept just strikes me as kind of...skeezy. You're not just helping shut-ins avoid real human contact. You're actually incentivized to do so, because that's how you make money.

It's hard to fault a company for making a product that customers seemingly enjoy, but at the same time, it really feels like it falls into the "sleazy mobile F2P/MTX game, but psychologically more damaging" bucket.

> People-first language (“enslaved people” not “slaves”)

“enslaved people” is not people/person-first language.

“People who are enslaved” is people-first language.

“enslaved people” is “situation first” (more commonly “identity first” or “disability first”, but neither strictly applies to “being enslaved”) language, just as “slaves” is. (In the disability context, “the disabled” and “disabled people” are textbook examples of “disability first” language, to which “people first” or “person first” language is contrasted.)

EDIT: Yes, I realize that this is an example of "people-first" language given near the opening of this opinion piece. It says something that in this rant about "equity language", the example given of the application of a particular form ("people-first language") of equity language is basically a textbook example of what that form seeks to avoid rather than what it prescribes.

> For example, it seems like we can’t say “mother” anymore in medical settings.

You can absolutely use “mother” to describe a specific person who, in fact, is a mother in medical settings. Because people of non-feminine gender identity can give birth, it is sub-optimal and exclusionary as a generic term for a person giving, or who has given, birth.

> I support trans people living however they want, but my mother was a mother

Literally no one has a problem with your mother being described as a mother.

> At work, a “women in engineering” group got renamed to something bland like “gender minorities in tech”.

Presumably, it got renamed that because whoever made decisions for it decided the mission was broader than women. “Gender minorities” isn’t a bland alternative to “women”, it has a broader scope.
