as far as college is expected to prepare students for work, version control should absolutely be part of that.

i don't expect a fresh graduate to be a skilled git user but if the nature of development at work is substantially different from what the student learned at school, then they will have a much harder time adjusting.

they should at least be familiar with all the concepts that they will encounter in a junior job and not be faced with having to relearn a completely different development process.

> He couldn't go ahead with the process because bank account opening was a challenge

For NRI's who do go to India, just go to any big bank like ICICI, HDFC etc. They will give you special treatment simply because of you are an NRI. Once your bank account is setup, open a Zerodha NRO account by submitting the docs to their local office. It can be done in two weeks if you have all your docs.

But yes it is a bit of a hassle especially if you want to go the NRE account route, so if this company can take away all those hassles then its a great option.

Is this a reference to something? Or an attempt to confuse potential AI commenters?
Is this a thing that requires testing? Do they have units run drills on all common recreational drugs? I could see some merit in evaluating stimulants, but what is the expected gain from most anything else?
Yes, constraints are underrated. Knowing them in advance, you can build around them and do things other people think can’t be done.
At my previous company they hired a guy from amazon (aws) to be our new manager.

He sucked.

Overnight he implemented all the bullshit meetings they had over there. At said meetings he wouldn't listen what people said, and he'd forget what tasks he'd tell people to focus, so the next meeting he'd scold people for wasting company time doing stuff that was not the task they had been assigned.
It’s just plain arrogance, bossing entire groups of people around.

I agree with the generalisation, but as a homeowner in another Western country, I'm unsettled by the "up & to the right": creates a less affordable environment for my children, and leads to a less stable place to live. I'd guess you generally get a safer community with more people invested in it and fewer people in desperate situations.

Further, affordable housing (as in, literally affordable, and not under some means-tested scheme) means more opportunities for me to buy further properties.

This is nothing to do with Netherlands’ own food self-sufficiency.
The problem with the new chatbots is not just that they are often stupid and naive; it is that they are not “stupid” or “naive” enough to pick up on the nuances, ironies, and revealing contradictions that constitute human culture and communication. Worse, by relying on them, we risk succumbing to the same obtuseness.
I hope that someday the EU will look into manufacturers of consumables-based devices like printers. Consumers shouldn't be limited to use branded, forced-expiring, half-empty consumables, that can't work because of DRMs, or other anti-consumer rules like 'oh you need all cartridges even if you want to print in black and white'
They also have proven that GNU userland is worthless for most folks, and the only thing about the Linux kernel that matters is using it as a free beer POSIX kernel.
We have to wait for next-gen high-end printers. Pricing of current-gen tech will be under pressure.

With Voron/Bambu lab/Prusa XL, the next-gen is arriving right now. Let's see...
I think it has actually become better lately.

There was a time when people threw around "only works in Chrome" like they did with IE6, but for me it seems it has improved somewhat now.
Also, most of it is only exported for a couple of miles to our nearest neighbors.

Somewhat related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automavision

"Automavision is a cinematic technique invented by Danish director Lars von Trier.

Developed with the intention of limiting human influence, in Automavision no cinematographer is actively operating the camera. The best possible fixed camera position is chosen and then a computer chooses framing by randomly tilting, panning or zooming the camera. In doing so it is not uncommon that the actors appear in the shots with a part of their face and head cut from the frame. With this technique then the blame for any "errors" are entirely attributable to a computer."

I always felt this was a bit of joke from Lars von Trier, though. I am not aware of any other film than "The Boss of it All" where it was used. A good joke after all. As von Trier says:

"If you want bad framing, Automavision is the perfect way to do it."
Another googler here.

I don't enjoy the work at Google as much due to bureaucracy, pace of work and politics. I previously worked at a startup and there is a stark difference in the work culture and environment. I'm working with the exact same team as that at the startup (we got acquired by Google). The same people i enjoyed working with, I absolutely hate it now.

Nothing ever gets done, even when it is possible to do so. Folks around here call it perf-farming.

Are these people parents?

1 week spring break.

1 week to take kids someplace enriching over the summer.

1 week to take to beach so they can see the ocean and all that.

1-2 week travel for holidays (thanksgiving and Christmas breaks for us)

Right there bare minimum 4 weeks of leave just when school is out and trying to have the kids see the world.

Many of our kids classmates travel far more (months in summer, long weekends to ski or beach randomly).
Investors are irrelevant, people still live in those houses.

Only empty houses actually cause trouble.
I wonder how much of this is due to outdated assessment criteria. If drone and remote control is the future of warfare there may not be too much need to do 20 push-ups on demand - the fat kid staring into the computer screen could quite feasibly the warrior of the next war.
There's different degrees of "native" but I'm pretty sure writing the UI in HTML/CSS/JS is definitely not "native".
Dancer in the Dark just went too far, meaning it eventually threw me like one of those mechanical bull things. As I watched it, I had such a powerful reaction to her exploitation that I was emotionally wrecked, but about 80% of the way through, her agony became so extreme that I ... started laughing. He just went to far, and I was like, OK, we just broke suspension of disbelief, and now her suffering is so extreme that it feels like someone is daring him to see how far he can go. Like in "Mother" (film): it went from tortuous to off-the-fucking-rails in a really funny exciting way. It didn't help that Kristen Wigg was an executioner, because I already think she's hilarious.
> What makes a UI native?

it's not as philosophical as it may sound. native means amongst other things give me the context menus every other app on the platform is using. firefox context menu on macos is a custom mish mash of what they think makes sense. just follow the os please.
The fact is it isn't a Linux distro, everything about the Linux kernel is considered private APIs and not available to anyone other than Google and Android OEMs.

Only these APIs are allowed for NDK users,

I went through a similar problem with an expensive wifi 6 cable modem router (Netgear Nighthawk CAX80). Spent too much money on it ($400 if I remember rightly) for better internet connectivity from xfinity. Worked well until I moved back to the UK, shipping it across in a container, only to discover that it's not only region locked but if it cannot detect an American-style cable connection, it gets stuck in a reboot loop. Wanted to switch regions and turn on AP mode to use it just for that, but now it's an expensive paper weight.

Also had the same problem with a gas pizza oven (Ooni), ironically from a Scottish company, but has only USA gas connections and is impossible to switch regions. I can very much sympathise with the author and am very glad consoles are no longer region locked.
The “export” argument is so stupid when you see how far it is exported. On a US scale this mostly would be within state borders.
Ah gotcha thanks for the clarification!
Thanks, I'm a Sunni Muslim with ancestry from a farming community near a Gujarat port city, and I'm interested in how Islam was spread in SEA.

Wasn't the Persianization of Sunni Islam due to the Delhi Sultanate and Mughals who had Persian cultural links?

And do we know which Sunni Muslims mostly spread Islam to SEA? From what I understand Gujarati Muslims were heavily involved but with no reference to the specifics of the communities. My DNA also surprisingly showed substantial persian-like ancestry.
You're right. It's marketing. (The other replies with new accounts are missing your point.)

Unless we consider it a ship for our star, rather than a ship to the stars. Though in a certain sense, it could lead to a ship to the stars.
> And your links describe lawsuits not for "leaving and joining a competitor", but for sabotage and trying to walk out with trade secrets, schematics and code.

To be pedantic, those are just claims Tesla made, and the articles even mention other IP-related suits by Elon's companies that were dropped because they were nonsense.

Even the first link about a $1 million lawsuit over "stolen trade secrets" was actually the farce regarding Martin Tripp. Musk retaliated against Tripp for whistleblowing on safety at Tesla, and then tried to have him murdered by the cops by calling 911 and accusing Tripp of being a mass shooter.

See also: When Elon Musk Tried to Destroy a Tesla Whistleblower[1]:

> It started with a Twitter meltdown and ended with a fake mass shooter. A former security manager says the company also spied and spread misinformation.

I'm not going to take Tesla at their word when they have an extensive history of using bogus lawsuits to intimidate people.

Oh and don't even get me started on trying to change regions on online accounts and the inconsistencies involved in doing so. Airbnb and Etsy, easy to change. PayPal and PlayStation online account, had to create a new account.
It will be heavily subsidized. Nobody will get into trouble for not being able to afford insulation. That's not how the law in European countries works.
I don't think chunking + embedding based retrieval is good enough. It's a good first draft for a solution, but the chunks are out of context, so the LLM could combine them in an unintended way.

Better to question each document separately and then combine the answers into one last LLM round. Even so, there might be inter-document context that is lost - for example looking at one document that depends on details in another one. Large collections of documents should be loaded up in multiple passes, as the interpretation of a document can change when encountering information in another document. Adding one single piece of information to a collection of documents could slightly change the interpretation of everything, that's how humans incorporate new information.

One interesting application of document-collection based chat bots is finding inconsistencies and contradictions in the source text. If they can do that, they can correctly incorporate new information.
The characteristic one for this in humans is sickle cell anemia. It really sucks for the people who have it but it sucks less than malaria, so it’s persisted in the gene pool… in regions with endemic malaria.
What I meant is that they have one upper stage in their lot which is missing some parts, some of the important aerodynamic control surfaces for controlled reentry. But another comment suggests that while this ship could be flown soon, it probably won’t be flown on the first test. Instead, a ship with all of the control surfaces will be flown, and that one can do the bellyflop.
The worst is finite PTO, and people coming to work sick to save “vacation” time. Perverse incentive.
This looks like a common pattern at other places too: you won't get "best-neighborhood" wealth from being first- (or sometimes even second-)generation high achiever. The root cause seems to be that there are usually more high achievers than properties in good neighborhoods, and old wealth erodes slowly (may take a generation or two), so there is very little pressure for old occupiers to sell their properties.
I have been reading about this since Windows XP came out.

Instead what I have witness have been many UNIX zealots (myself included), to either move into Windows (alongside VMs), or macOS, with Linux desktop never going beyond 2% in 25 years.
the Americanisation of global culture is something the French and the now the Italians have long been wary of. Without their own communications infrastructure, they are forced to use the tools of the US, and will therefore slowly be absorbed in the US culture. It's probably futile, but understandable
Firefox isn't switching to a native UI. They are getting rid of a weird web-like DOM-based UI framework and slowly replacing it with actual web stuff. So their answer is "become more electron-like" not "become less electron-like"
The trail lacks a segment on the Mediterranean coast.

It could extended by going down to Menton on the Mediterranean from the Ecrins National Park via the Queyras and Mercantour national parks, but it is quite a detour.

There is no reason India can't do both.
No it's fine. We'll just throw the raw data stream at an AI.
No, the sole reason why JS became popular server-side is because it’s the same language as used in the browser client-side. A large number of people started out learning programming in the browser, and having been “primed” with JS that way, it’s what they’re used to and then also want to use server-side.
Constraint is a creativity supercharger, and its antithesis - excess - is why so many modern entertainment products have gone off the rails.

(And there’s an even wider reading: profligate consumption is responsible for so many ills, while the simple life looks ever more attractive).
Some people are like me: a well functioning and extremely well liked engineer with a what seems like a significantly smaller short time memory. (This is part of a wider diagnosis.)

Having everything I work on

- easily, visibly available

- in a tree,

- sorted and grouped by where I found it from (a natural consequence of using tree style tabs and using ctrl-click to open every link when I am in research mode)

helps me a lot.

Sure, I can try to be like the cool kids, but why?
SpaceX has one upper stage that they built without those fins. I was under the impression it might be used for the first flight, but someone else clarified that one is expected to fly another time, and the first flight is expected to use a normal ship capable of belly flop.
Semiconductor is the new Oil. In the future expect the supply, demand and prices to be controlled by whoever controls the raw materials, manufacturing, supply chain and IP. The war bugle was already blown after the pandemic, and the war has started with the west blocking China's access to ASML's technology. And recently Japan's Prime Minister proposed a joint semiconductor development strategy with India, and China and Russia declared their own own strategy.

Hope to see more Oil like use of semiconductor technology for strategic geopolitical purposes. So the supply problem is not going to end, but rather fluctuate, just like oil.

With mortgages paying down only the interest doesn't this mean people can become chained to the property? Unable to sell due to the value drop and having to own money to the bank after selling?
I can't believe nobody mentioned iWoz here. To me, it's the perfect blend between a biography and hacker story. I read it when I was younger (must have been 16, I think?) and it definitely influenced me into the engineer I became later. Can recommend!
Same is true for me in germany. I know a really wealthy guy inherited his money. I will never reach his level. I know people who have successful start-ups. They earn well, but they will not reach “old money” levels of wealth.
>There used to be a team at Google called Google Brain and they all left to go to OpenAI after the employee protests against taking military AI contracts in 2018.

This is blatant revisionism. Military contracts is not the reason Google has been losing AI researchers to OpenAI.
I also tried it. The smell was absolutely horrible, but compared to that, the taste was not too bad.
> It's basically impossible for me to afford a house / apartment for my family in the best neighborhoods.

Why would you expect to be able to buy a family house/apartment in the best neighberhoods just because you are in the top income percentile? Wealth percentile matters.

I'm also in the top income percentile in Sweden, and I can basically buy 99.9% of all houses/apartments in Sweden, which I think should be enough for most people..
India is a vast country with the soon to be largest population in the world. There are quite enough people to be doing both.
Sure, but then they would have to sacrifice a number of other desirable characteristics.
> Did the population at large want National Health, sanitation, vaccination and the EPA?

Yes. Literally every one of those was very popular when it was passed. The National Health in particular continues to be popular.

The EPA was passed under Nixon and he did not veto it because the feeling that the need for it was so widespread that he didn't dare.

I usually love this kind of movie. I am a Joseph Campbell fan. I enjoy allegory and metaphor in films.

But this movie sucked. The guy who made it plainly does not understand the Green Knight story, and turned it into some anti-hero bullshit to, what, make morally sick people feel better about themselves? I'm not sure.

Gawain was one of the greatest knights. He was a rockstar. But in this movie he's not particularly skilled or courageous. The ending is a complete letdown.
And own stock instead, or petroleum or any kind of virtual asset offshore, on which there way more little tax, meanwhile renting a mansion at home that belongs to your own subsidiary? Perfectly doable for the rich, it will raise no tax gains at all.

Don’t get me started on “taxing virtual assets beyond the 30th you own”.
These are all great shots but they would be great in any film. The video doesn't demonstrate the idiosyncrasies of dogme films, like the restrictions on sound and lighting.

(Also was the soundtrack added just for this YouTube video, or is Lars Von Trier breaking his own rules?)
That dubious take, even if true, doesn't give them the right to destroy nature of the entire country.

Among other things, their influence on the water management policy has an effect of private homes literally sinking in certain parts of the country.
Yeah why wouldn’t anyone want to sign up for “voluntarily oppress yourself for the purposes of propagating the same for future generations, or you’ll be oppressed anyway and blamed for it and any real or imagined failure to propagate it besides”? It doesn’t matter anyway right?

This talk of people changing their standards only goes one way, and it’s telling. The not so veiled insinuation that women will comply by choice or will eventually be forced. There’s no suggestion that, in whatever civilization failure is contrived to justify this misogyny, men will have to adjust to recognize and treat women as humans.

No luck with that.

A slight tangent - is there any reason filament LEDs couldn't be fashioned into a Nixie Tube style number form? That seems like it might have the same nicely curved aesthetic but be easier to manufacture.

That, and income is highly taxed but property isn’t.
Let me get this straight:

- You own an asset worth 200,000-300,000 Euros

- The required investment, which can be spread over up to ten years, is 20,000-30,000 Euros

- You would have to make parts of this investment anyway, because your windows are leaky and your radiators are breaking

- You will recoup the costs over 5-10 years because you use less energy

- 25-50% of this investment will be covered by subsidies, the government will also provide low-interest loans for much of the rest

How is this an absurd demand to make of people who own a house?
With my security hat on, many of those features are more than welcomed by SecDevOps, specially when many insist writing software in languages like C and C++ is still the way to go.
They are not taking the farms from them, they are buying them.

Agro-industry in the Netherlands is unsustainable and all the parties involved know it. Whatever they say, what we're watching here is just the buyout negotiations.
I guess in this context the more significant factor is that seawater has a slightly higher density than pure water.
Balkenende warned the EU the Natura 2000 guidelines would bring all economic activity in The Netherlands to a halt. Because there is no way we will reach the goals that were stated there. The EU commissioner basically laughed and told him to deal with it.

Lots of politicians saw the writing on the wall. Nobody had the balls to tackle the real issue and change the guidelines at the EU level. It will be interesting to see how this will pan out.
What exactly did I get wrong?
