Google used to be notorious for hiring only based on the prestige of the candidate's alma mater and gotcha interviews with Fermi questions or the kind where the interviewer is trying to show his superiority, like an adolescent pissing match. But they invested in researching the factors that best predict success and ended up with two: IQ tests and highly structured interviews. Everything else was worse than useless.

I grew up in a small town that Europeans would have a hard time calling it a village. We were too far away from a CO to get DSL even with repeaters. No cable provider wanted to bring us service either as there were not enough people to ever recovering the expense of stringing the lines. The best I ever had while living there was 33.6k using a 56k modem

Loads of people claim this, I haven't tested it myself though.
Git is pretty hard, but the examples in the post are _terrible_. The specific cases are actually pretty easy to explain:

Undo the change: "The recommended approach is to make another change which undoes the original one and push it, using command AAA. If you want to un-push the change you made and pretend it never happened we can try it as well, but Git does not really expect published history to change, so but if someone else on your team has already pulled it, their machine will get pretty confused. It's like deleting email right from someone's inbox -- OK if they haven't seen it yet, but pretty confusing if they read it and already typing the reply"

Delete the branch: "Does that branch exist on a server?". Depending on the answer, you either delete remote branch + local tracking one, or just a local one.

The key idea is to have a workflow in mind, and steer users towards that workflow. Because sure, you can ask user if they want to "delete a local branch, and then just get it recreated when you pull again".. but that's terrible idea. Why would you want to do this _ever_ as part of any regular workflow?

There are certainly circumstances when you have to do advanced/unusual stuff, but there is no need to push that to novice users, unless you hate git and your goal is convince them that the git is hard.
There could be a (finite) rotational symmetry. The Penrose tilings, for example, have a five-fold rotational symmetry.
I'm 71 and still actively programming. One thing I did years ago was to get a pair of single vision glasses set up for my eyes' distance from the laptop screen (about 20"). These changed my life.

I use progressives for everyday activity, but at the computer I switch to the single vision. I have a triple-monitor setup: the 15" 4K display on my ThinkPad P1, and two 24" 4K monitors (currently LG, but I've used similar Dell and ViewSonic monitors in the past).

The external monitors are mounted on Amazon Basics arms made by Ergotron. I prefer the Amazon Basics because they have a matte black finish instead of the silver finish of the Ergotron-branded arms. They are identical otherwise.

One 24" monitor sits directly above the laptop display, with their left edges aligned. The other sits to the left of these in portrait mode. This is ideal for reading documentation, especially PDF files.

I run the ThinkPad at 300% scaling and the larger monitors at 200%. All three are adjusted to be at about the same 20" distance from my eyes. The ThinkPad display is in the usual tipped-back laptop position. The horizontal monitor above it is closer to a straight up-and-down angle (but not quite). The portrait monitor is also tilted back a bit. The idea here is to have the "normal" for the center of each monitor point to my eyes.

It's also important to keep the prescriptions updated for both the progressive and single vision lenses, especially if you are in your 40s when your vision changes more rapidly.
If the last thing you did was switch branches do you want to undo switching branches, or undo the last thing you did on the branch?

If the last thing you did was stage, do you want to unstage, or undo the last change outside the staging area?

If undoing the last thing you did is not compatible with the current state of the working copy, what happens?

If your last change was to discard or apply uncommitted changes, how can that be undone? If the answer is "do lots of hidden commits", how does that interact with undo?
What is the use case? I’m guessing just to store secrets but then why not just use a HSM or even yubikey.
From the Royal College (our specialty accreditation society)[0]:

> 11-18% of newly certified specialists cannot find work at the time of their certification.

> 75% of those who are continuing training do so because they think this will make them more employable.

[0] https://www.royalcollege.ca/ca/en/health-policy/building-med...

From your first reference:

> Traditional unemployment is rare; underemployment is not.

> Eleven per cent of the cohort described themselves as primarily locum surgeons. When asked why they did locums, the most common responses were “waiting for a job to open up at locum site” (46%) followed by “could not get the staff job that I wanted” (23%).

It's not unemployment in the traditional sense, in the medical community it looks like a liver surgeon (2 years of extra training) doing appendectomies in a small town or a neurosurgeon forced into only doing spine work (both need monitored beds +/- ICU). Or doing multiple fellowships until you find something.

Sure you can work as a locum (temp) or go to [very undesirable location doing general work] if you're in a specialty like general surgery that allows for that kind of practice environment. Tough luck if you're a cardiac surgeon/interventional cardiologist or oncologic subspecialist of any kind that needs high nursing support, inpatient beds and expensive instruments.

Note that these training positions are mostly all funded by the government in Canada and allocated based on their needs assessment (so it's not people choosing some unemployable niche by choice per se).

> AFAICT, Canada has a shortage of physicians.

We have a shortage of primary care physicians (because no one wants to do it), we have enough specialists by body count but no jobs/rooms for them (see underemployment points and how many go to the US).

> I have no idea how the Canadian medical system works.

Hospitals are run by the provincial governments. Physician compensation also comes from the same ministry but not out of the hospital's budget with "fixed professional fees" set by the single payer.

> That you are not running these rooms as much as possible indicates some failure in pricing/profit seeking

This has truth to it, the hospital's incentive is to prioritize their budget and they have little incentive to maximize throughput.

Due to funding nuances they're essentially incentivized to prioritize acute/emergent care (which gets some extra $) and have less throughput for things with consumables (like procedures) that come out of the hospital's budget.

It's pretty common for Canadian surgeons to admit someone to facilitate a surgery so we can use an "emergency OR room" even though they don't need the bed. Entirely wasteful but from the hospital's perspective the bed is paid for (we're constantly at capacity, there's no reality where a bed is unused) and a broken bone admitted unnecessarily doesn't cost anything extra as they don't particularly need nursing or have nearly as many consumable costs like a person hospitalized for acute illness.
Sam Altman is also a doomsday prepper because he anticipates societal collapse when the shift from capital to labor pushes economic equality past France 1789 levels.
Bless you for having the courage to go through with it at 40+ age. I admire you. That must've taken guts.
Here are a few reasons that I had for open sourcing my SaaS business: https://keygen.sh/blog/all-your-licensing-are-belong-to-you/. I offer a cloud version (the SaaS), as well as a community edition and an enterprise edition. In the end, it really is going to depend on your market. But generally, people overestimate how many people want to self-host and manage their own instances of open source software. Most people want something that works, without any of the maintenance burden. I mean, just look at Plausible Analytics -- easy to self-host, yet they’re bringing in >$1M ARR with their managed cloud service.
Nobody's saying you're not allowed to hurt the business.

But there's a big difference between trying to damage trucks by walking off mid-shift, vs. not showing up for work the next day. The same as there's a big difference between stealing things from a store vs. boycotting a store.

We draw these lines for a reason. Nobody's suing workers for going on strike. They're suing them for leaving drying cement in their trucks in the middle of their shift.

If workers simply finish their shift before going on strike, that's not crushing workers' right at all, nor is it creating a power imbalance that favors the owners.

Wouldn't Apollo be able to? According to Reddit admins, they use 3.5x more requests per average user than their competitors. Optimize and add a user limit or tier subscriptions.

Amen. It's disappointing to think that the general consensus on tech/automation is that it's only there to drive an economy rather than what it could do for the baseline of "being human".

I became a Dad to a colicky kid at 28, and cannot confirm that it's easy.

Easier, maybe, as each year I feel more tired - I'm not yet 41, and my triathlon and 5k times have been slowly dropping, but there was an enormous step function when my son was born.

He did. Apollo has a freemium model, and if the API pricing was reasonable, he coult take the hit using the subscribers to subsidize the free users. The problem is the exhorbitant pricing, meaning all his users should be paying four times what the usual suscription costs, just to pay Reddit. It's bonkers.

If HN/Reddit/etc are any guide, drivers will get downvoted for reasons unrelated to their driving (e.g. their bumper stickers, car brand, merely being ahead of you on the road, being the wrong ethnicity)
If git is an auxiliary tool, your entire programming environment and language are "auxiliary tools". Today being able to persist and distribute multiple versions of source code is table stakes for being a programmer. If we're really talking about "jobs", that's probably more central than writing code - a release manager might do nothing but manage git minutia and still provide value, a programmer that can't give anyone else the code they've written provides nothing.
> charging circuit should not constantly feed the battery

To me this seems like a common misconception. I can’t see it being true - we’d see so many more battery fires out there if this was true, including in this very case (his setup would’ve burnt down within days in that case).
Lithium iron phosphate is a safer but less energy dense chemistry that is even cheaper than li-ion and actually is used at scale.

Sorry, but plombir isn’t USSR’s achievement at all. The “plombir” in USSR first appeared in 1937 produced by using US equipment after Stalin has visited USA and tasted the ice cream there. No ice cream was there prior to that. Next, the plombir’s name and recipe were “borrowed” (as many things in USSR) from French dessert “glace plombières”.
I have had a significant decrease in usable GPT-4 via Chat. Anyone to say otherwise hasn't been using it daily as a plus user since first access. It's absolutely hindered in comparison. But also twice as fast.
I was expected to get around 10 O Levels at school (a UK exam for 16 yo). I failed them all. The nearest thing to an academic achievement I have ever accomplished :) I stayed on for another 2 years just so I could get an O Level in basic English proficiency, the school was worried that I would be completely unemployable without it. You normally stayed the next 2 years to get A Levels (the advanced version of the O Levels)

Did a lot to temporary work and finally got a clerical job. Later the government opened the YOPS program (Youth Opportunities Program) and I went off to learn COBOL

Got a programming job with it and after a few years applied to go to University (at 29). Fortunately there was a drive to accept "mature" candidates (less qualified) and I was accepted to study Artificial Intelligence as an Arts Degree

Managed a 2ii (a 3 would be viewed as "didn't actually fail" but a 1 or 2i would have been a "good" result)

Went back to being a programmer

People genuinely thought that I would / could get 10 O Levels in the same year, I must have been smart enough to impress my teachers but it all fell apart when I sat down to do the exams

I think that I am at least intelligent but I get sidetracked (the amount of time I spent investigating prime numbers / golomb rulers when I was supposed to be learning calculus). It is still an issue. I have finally learnt everything that they tried to teach me at school (I'm 62 now) and a bunch more

However I was never told I was smart, only that I should try and that I was at least capable of achieving great things academically

I could have done more but that was all down to me and the effort I put forth
I can see an argument for wanting to go slightly to one side or the other of the critical factor for aesthetic reasons, but yes. If you want "critically-damped spring behaviour" you don't have to go the long way round to get it.
The evangelical line --- since we're post new Testament --- is we're in end times.
Satan will take over eventually, and at any time final judgement will occur which is why salvation is a pressing issue.

It's a apocalyptic stance that for some (certainly not all) creates a nasty dis-association with the here and now. After all if heaven/hell was always the only point, then this life is like a Las Vegas weekend. It's not our place, not our home and in 72hrs we're out anyway.

I wrote before evangelical theology is sufficiently ill-defined such that it can incorporate major changes in understanding which is a kind of consistency problem. Nobody with a dose of common sense about the prevailing attitudes in monotheistic religions would say detection of non-earth based life changes nothing. The old testament creation story is all earth centered, and all earth-man centered all the time.

You might enjoy Ken Wilbur's "Quantum Questions" in this context. He writes a mini biography on all the major 20th century scientists many of whom held a spiritual core although (as far as I can remember) not an American evangelical line. I think the book makes a good point. No scientist uses science as means to prove or disprove God/theology. And no scientists uses the Bible to disprove or prove rational facts about the world we live in. Either way it's a corruption of the other. Nonetheless the evangelical line and its literal take on the new Testament is what it is.

There is no God. We're not living in end-times. Satan doesn't exist. Final judgement isn't pending. Salvation is an unforced problem. And no proof of aliens or even bacterial life off-earth is demonstrated with rational evidence.

This brings us to a world more like Camus'. Existence is absurd. Meaning is living a full live despite the absurdness of it akin to Sisyphus pushing the rock up the hill to have to retrieve it when it rolls down and push it up again. Our job is to make something of that while we can.
It’s clearly inspired by Twitter. Which bothers me a lot. Who would follow ANYTHING that Twitter does at the moment? Twitter currently has the worst leadership in its history. Every decision made by twitter in the past months have lowered the value of the site, not the other way around. Twitter is currently worth about $15 billion down from $45b a few months ago. Why would any company try to copy Twitter?
Intentional dark pattern by Coinbase or just terrible UI?
I recently needed to check a past transfer to confirm that I was sending some crypto to the same wallet address. In the past, the last few transactions showed up on the "Pay" page. They have since renamed "Pay" to Transfers or something like that. They no longer show past transactions, so I went down a rabbit hole of searching through the app, couldn't find it, then had to google it and found a help page for Coinbase. There is a link in the article to coinbase.com/reports (I can find no way to get to it from the web app except by following the link from the help article.) Once there, you can select the date ranges you want and generate a transaction report in PDF or CSV and then you have to wait a bit while it generates the report for you to download.

What kind of UI craziness is this? A user's transaction history is such a basic feature, I can't imagine contributing the obfuscation of this history to just incompetence. There must be some dark pattern here. Perhaps the want to hide from user's how much real money they are putting into the system? It seems like a serious security risk anyway. Someone with unauthorized access to an account could easily siphon off crypto and it would be difficult to notice unless you are frequently generating and downloading transaction reports and going through them.

I am not finding much talk of this. Am I in the minority thinking that this is a mission critical, absolutely bare bones feature that should be front and center of any finance related app?

No, because it's still a for-profit corporation, and one that's taken lots of VC funding and has also been looking to IPO. Owners change, management changes, priorities change, that's what happens in the business world.

If you don't think you're taking a major risk, then you're just being naive.

(I'm not defending Reddit here, but I am saying anyone should have been planning for this highly probable outcome.)
I originally read it on Zerohedge and figured that domain is probably less welcome on HN, even tho their reporting on it was more technically grounded than the Fox news piece.
Many incentives are physical in nature. Can't afford food? Drugs and alcohol will make you forget you're hungry. It's more comfortable to sleep on the cold/hard ground if you're so high you can't feel anything at all.

You would be surprised what sort of drugs these people are using. They aren't paying for cocaine. They spend all day begging for pocket change to scrounge up $10 for some crap meth-like drugs who's sole purpose it to make you not feel anything. For the 4-8 hours after they take the drugs, they can forget everything they hate about their life and maybe fall asleep.

Realistically, strangers are quite happy to buy food for homeless people if they ask. So then the incentive is to get money to for "entertainment" and relaxation in form of drug use.

Feels like the ubiquity of these kinds of how-tos implies that the Raspberry Pi is an abundant, ready-to-hand device, which hasn't been true for a few years now. But maybe we’ll get there again soon? Seems like I’ve read people being optimistic about rpi sourcing but it also hasn’t really materialized yet.
I remember the most mindblowingly cool idea from M.U.L.E. on the Atari 8-bits I used to play it on, was the real-time joystick auction mode.
Obviously we all die and there’s no great time for it.

Having a parent die during college, while not as life altering as during childhood or teenage years, is still pretty disruptive, though.
The sad part is, they bought a good app, Alien Blue, and made it worse.
I think the Git maintainers realise that and introduce commands like "restore", even though the action can be (and was for a long time) achieved with the original command set.

Also I believe "git stage" exists too: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-stage

Because git commands are used in a bajillion scripts, it's very hard to remove "excessive" functionality from the old commands even when that would improve the orthogonality of the tools.
not a default one, but does it matter? what's the play here?
What about the plans itself though? I was looking forward to faster GPT-4, 1M context length and fine tuning APIs. These won't be coming anymore?

Feel sorry for the Humanloop guys though. Somebody forgot to tell them to keep it private or what?
