At least in the SF Bay Area, I'd be careful with this assumption: "Interviewers don't know whether your projects were successful or not ..."

The number of degrees of freedom between any two people is remarkably small. As someone who has interviewed and hired perhaps two or three hundred people over my career, it was rare that as an interviewer I didn't know more about the interviewer than their resume stated. Later in my career, the depth of information in "ATS" (Applicant Tracking Systems) applications at companies has only gotten deeper. Social media posts, comments on HN :-), peer analysis from others hired from the same company, Etc.

What is more, from Google's perspective, a lot of their hiring teams who used these systems to screen candidates were contractors and have often been laid off when Google needed to make better numbers. They didn't just "forget" everything they knew, a number of them with whom I worked, contacted me post Google employment after setting up their own business as recruiters.

Not saying its good or bad, just that it is important that a lot of information exists that "follows you" around. The longer you work, the more senior you become, the more it fills with a ratio of "haters/meh/supporters" info.

The thing that always annoyed me and I had to ASK recruiters to send me candidates that matched but their "whisper network" suggested they were problems/losers. Sometimes just getting past that screen is really tough for someone.

EDIT: sometimes the wording is tricky.

> They do save you money but on a very long timescale

You're not going to save money by replacing your Ikea furniture with handcrafted wood furniture that's 25 times the price. Whenever you move, it'll cost more to move the nice chair. You'll eventually have to reupholster it. You'll need to find other hardwood furniture to match it. It'll be way way more expensive over it's lifetime.

The furniture looks and feels nicer to us, was made with thoughtfulness, and is unique, and that's why people buy it, not because it saves money.

I'm more interested in addressing the suppression issue. This kind of suppression stinks of lobbyists and corruption.
Each time someone buys a stock, the stock value rises (meaning the next secondary offering will be able to achieve more money raised with less shares issued).

The stock value rises because you didn't buy 100 shares from me per se. You bought the 100-cheapest shares on the market, which naturally raises the price.

----------

Lets say the market depth looks like the following:

* 5 shares available at $95.20

* 15 shares available at $95.21

* 30 shares available at $95.22

* 40 shares available at $95.23

* 80 shares available at $95.24

By buying 100 shares, you'll have wiped out the order book from $95.20, $95.21, $95.22, $95.23, and part of $95.24. The order book looks like the following now:

* 60 shares available at $95.24

This means your purchase has caused the stock to rise in value by 4 cents in this convoluted example.

----------

Later, when the company sells 100,000 shares in a secondary offering, they'll be able to do it at a price ~4-cents higher than before. Thanks to your purchase. Similarly, each time they put for shares for sale, it adds to the order book / market depth as sales.

IE: The company can't just sell all 100,000 shares at $95.24. No one is buying $95.24 "right now", so the shares simply won't move.

To have a chance of selling, the company needs to lower the price, and offer the 100,000 shares at $95.23 cents. Someone's probably buying at that point, but it won't be for 100,000 shares. Etc. etc. The company continues to search for the price where the market is willing to buy its shares.

But whenever it decides to do this process, that company is at 4-cents higher thanks to your 100-share purchase.

---------

Of course, all this theory goes to absolute crap when a company with 117-million shares (like BBBY in December 2022) decides to just hype up the apes and sell them 600-million new shares that didn't exist before. Of course the prices would collapse, that kind of environment makes it impossible for prices to go up at all.

There is also a serious moral question here: was it moral and correct for BBBY to sell these 600-million new shares? (And if it was immoral, did they break a law when doing so?). Remember: the board of directors is supposed to represent the will of the shareholders. Was it really the shareholder's desire to be diluted by a 1-to-6 ratio?
I've never had a piece of IKEA furniture that couldn't do its basic job even after 10+ years and removing clearly important structural bits, I'm honestly not sure what more I could do to reach the point where anything better is worth it
You probably maintain orientation with a control moment gyro and periodically desaturate it with thrust. You also use thrust to reboost and stay in orbital slot.

I'll throw tiddlywiki into the ring for the 'list of things to try', it is pretty neat and I like how it is all contained in a single file and it's really fun to explore inside of it.

But I also landed on bookstack. Weird how it turned out that formatting my stuff like a book would be the best format as opposed to all the super cool different ways of thinking that are possible with new-gen apps. I'm not sure if books are just superior or if I just personally am really wired to books, but I landed on it after evernote, onenote, obsidian, joplin, and Notion.

Basically I am using tiddly as a zettelkastan where appropriate and bookstack for things that are more finalized.

I really wish my team would switch to BS instead of the unorganized knowledgebase soup with inconsistent tagging, zero curation, and bad search engine (servicenow knowledge). omg what if we had an actual procedure manual instead of just hoping people will enter the right search terms to land on KBs they dont even know to search for. now THAT would be revolutionary.

The moment some poor slob of a beginner tries to refactor any of those closures into a "normal" function, they're going to get beat over the head by the borrow checker.

Yes, I know why they're required in Rust. And it makes sense once you know Rust well. But a beginner isn't likely to understand why they can't refactor a closure into a function in Rust without a whole lot of clone().

Coding "examples" for Rust need to stop using that closure style--especially in "beginner" code.

Go uses a tracing garbage collector. Although I suppose that's even worse from this perspective.

If you don't mind me asking, how does Zig get in the way? My own gut feel is that it's the only real "better C" out of the present crop of alternatives.
Looks nice!

A tip for your latex: I would use \langle and \rangle to surround the generators of an ideal, which looks better than using < and >. And I think they are called angle brackets, not square brackets (which would be [,]).

> The Zig compiler has a counter that describes the maximum allowed amount of branching that the compiler can do while evaluating comptime code.

Okay, here's a solution. It's already implemented. Nice.

Now let me destroy it.

You said those compilations "fail"; I presume there's an error that kicks in.

In that case, then some valid Zig programs will be rejected, but your type system is now not technically Turing-complete. It's also less powerful; there are going to be things that Zig's type system cannot express.

But wait; that's a user-defined setting? This means that either users will increase that setting when they need to and run into the same problem, or follow your guideline:

> In practice the guideline is to not overuse comptime and instead create a dedicated build step for things like creating pre-computed value tables.

It sounds like a dedicated build step would be the better option than comptime, to be honest.

Also, if you step out to dedicated build steps, then the compiler no longer has complete visibility into that code when analyzing. At that point, the Halting Problem applies again.

Also, what do you do if a user needs to pass a function pointer to a C function? I presume they must use a sync function? If so, that seems like a direct application of the function colors definition; some functions are unusable in certain places. If not, I'd be interested in what Zig does there.
I don't think it's reasonable to assume they're just going to let GPT write bills with no supervision, especially given that the first sentence specifically says they're experimenting with it.

It's really, really good that they're doing this - this is an incredibly important technology, and the best way for politicians to understand it is to actually use it in their day to day work. Have it write the first draft of bills and see what kind of weird stuff it puts in there - that's how you actually understand the hallucination issue.
The annoyance is that they have a car free road 30ft away, while the cars do not have a bike free road.

It’s well understood that bikes can impede traffic. The world accepts this, especially on a normal day. It’s why we build special lanes for them (in addition to their safety concerns). But if you have your own special infrastructure, just for you and you’re using the other infrastructure, adding 15-30mins to hundred’s of people’s daily commutes for your convenience, that’s the literal definition of entitlement.

Yes, you’re allowed to do it; just like I’m allowed to get into the elevator and press all of the buttons for my own joy. In either case, we are assholes to most people.

I'm no Christian, but do you get it that the parable of the Good Samaritan is allegorical? It's not about a historical "remembered" event, or about money as a necessary precondition for moral behaviour, or about "will and power" [1] as you put it upthread. It's about how compassion displayed by a member of an excluded group, despite their being oppressed, to a member of the parable-teller's group demonstrates our universal vulnerability and mutual dependency.

Thatcher was so inured by her own harsh, judgemental worldview that not only couldn't she properly recognise the point of the story, but her misinterpretation actually contradicts its essential meaning.

I originally thought you meant "macOS takes random fonts, stuffs them in resource forks for other non-font files, then bad things happen if the resource forks are ever lost" which makes zero sense to me.

Anyway... so macOS fonts themselves were made of resource forks and therefore trying to transfer fonts themselves across a non-resource-fork-supporting network share will fail? As in, the resource forks were needed in order to use the font file?

As a Linux user I'm shocked stuff has been like this. My first laptop was a Fujtisu p1120 in 2004 & every laptop I've had has slept fine. Various Dell, Msi, Apple, Samsung laptops, all running Linux just fine, all sleeping ok.

Worst situation I had was the last personal laptop, a Haswell-era Dell. The wifi would only come back on every-other sleep, so I'd put it to sleep, wake it, and put it to sleep again, which took all of like 3 seconds. For a bit I was carrying around a swank Alfa USB-WiFi adapter as a workaround, which had the benefit of also providing superb wifi performance, but I figured out the every-other-sleep pattern after a bunch of months & that was that. All in all such a minor caveat, such a small nit amid so much working great across such a long span of time & systems.

I once accidentally hibernated a machine & was shocked it just worked in Linux. It means shutdown & turn on are closer to 10s, but my god, zero battery drain is divine. The thought of a laptop that can't stay off for a month is absurd. My personal laptop has 3/4 a year of "uptime" on it. It should be like this.

The "Peek" feature they showed in a tweet seems cool, is there an extension for that in Firefox? Where you can get a tab-within-a-tab to view an article or etc without opening a tab yet.

There was one "simple link preview" but I tried installing it and it just seems super buggy so I uninstalled.

Show HN: Preview environments for projects that do not use K8s/Docker
Modern LTE features a fairly high level of traffic security, although downgrade attacks remain a major problem. The article addresses this point: "The target of LTESNIFFER is to capture the wireless packets between the base station and the user. It can only obtain encrypted packets in most cases because it can’t know the cryptographic keys of users. However, some packets are transferred in plaintext by design." One of the reasons you here about cell-site simulators ("stingrays") a lot less these days is that improving security standards in the cellular network has made them less useful, although they are still widely employed and particularly rely on forcing downgrades to 3G.

Elsewhere, the article notes that one of the difficult things about sniffing LTE is that even the parameters used for the radio connection are encrypted, so some of them have to be inferred and guessed. That encryption isn't really intended as a security feature, we're talking about the modulation mode, but comes out of the fact that LTE revisions have erred on the side of caution with encrypting as much of the management traffic as practical. Much of this is a result of lessons learned with previous cellular protocols and protocols like WiFi, where unencrypted/unauthenticated management traffic has often become an attack vector.
IANAL but, IIRC any sniffing seems to be fine in general?
You'd only get in trouble if you transmitted anything. I don't even think you need a license to just listen to stuff.

Also I think the paper mentions that many types of packets are in fact encrypted, and only certain control packets are sent in the clear. This seems to be not any more concerning than other Internet related protocols which also send a lot of coordination information in cleartext.
Anti-religion and extreme politics also seem to go hand-in-hand, fwiw. Might be worth looking at both topics within the limits of the extremities.

Launch HN: A preview envi

Hi hn, I'm excited to share https://codepreview.io with al of you, a project we have been working on since last year. After getting a few customers providing very nice comments, I finally feel brave enough to share this to the public.

CodePreview's main goal is to provide preview environments to web applications that haven't got into the K8s/containers path. In our Software Develipment company, we mainly work with small to mid-size businesses where K8s/containers are rare.

Becoming a unicor is not our goal, instead, we aim to get enough revenue to fund a team to maintain and keep improving the project. This is why we don't have any investors, we funded CodePreview's developemt through the revenue generated from our Software Development company.

There are many competitors that offer preview environments for K8s/Containerized projects, some of them even offer help to migrate to K8s/Containers, we are different in this sense because we adapt to the project instead of asking the project to adapt to us.

While we are still in an early stage, CodePreview has been usable for several months with no critical bugs reported, on the contrary, CodePreview has proven to be very useful for these cases with our customers:

1. A company where CodePreview exposes only the backend-api, allowing the frontend team to get experimental features integrated even though the frontend team does not have access to the backend code, normally, the company would have required to provide a brand-new environment which will be maintained by them, CodePreview has been working great for this use case.

2. Another company used CodePreview for a early stage project where founders are frequently running experiments, CodePreview has allowed them to compare multiple versions at the same time even though they don't have anyone managing the infrastructure, it's just CodePreview.

I'd be thrilled to answer any questions.

BONUS: https://codepreview.io has a button for hn users where you can join a room to discuss this project live (no-login required), I intend to leave this for a few hours.

Thanks!

EDIT: I set my title as "Launch HN" but it was automatically changed to "Show HN", I guess this is an hn restriction.

From a history point of view, early mainframe programmers were required to be night owls. Mainframes were expected to be running all day doing the calculations they were purchased to do - the only time they were allowed to be idle for development and maintenance was after the close of business. This is also the source, to a certain extent, of the unusual freedoms programmers often enjoy within organizations. They needed to have unusually free access to the most expensive equipment (and the building in general) and weren't supervised in person by the usual hierarchy of bosses.[1]
