Like a few other tech terms, it's got a jocular etymology. People saw something developing that wasn't "hard" and it wasn't "soft" so it was "firm".

Likewise, we began to "load" stuff, not "up" or "down", but to the "side".

A googol (the number) is something uttered by a mathematician's toddler.

I'm sure that programmers were chuckling when we went from "bits" to "bytes" but we hardly even think about that anymore.

So why not, let's have squishyware, and viscousware, and stickyware, and put them next to our vaporware?

They are now, yes. I believe the point is, that's a relatively recent development. (And surely, from an environmental perspective, having all the damage in one area is good? Baotau isn't getting any better. By the same token, it's not getting worse.)

Side note but, with politeness, one enormously frustrating part of arguing with Americans is you really don't realise just how many problems are trivial to solve when you have US-level natural resources at your disposal. The social elements are still there, I'm not claiming every US problem is trivial, but the resource access element just isn't. You go to an electronics conference, you're researching some new PV tech, so are your US colleagues, but they've got hundreds of hectares of land that's perfect for the application and worthless to everyone else. And that happens in almost every field. Good for you, but JFC, that's not a universal experience.

It's only idiots that would be so assured. We have so little exploration of other perhaps more moral systems.
With remote interviews it’s at least common to see a ‘round’ scattered over multiple days and time slots, rather than a single visit with multiple interviewers in a row.

Paying for someone’s time is… tricky. If a company doesn’t pay, and the candidate is willing to do the interviews, it is a signal that both are expecting positive financial outcomes overall (ie both sides foresee fit).

The moment you start paying for people to interview, that signal gets weaker. Likely compensated by stricter resume filters. Its a disadvantage for people with uncommon profiles or less experience. (And an advantage for those that have more experience and some big names on their CV)
And "male gaze" wasn't a deciding factor anyway. Lara Croft wasn't even viewed as a sex object like some singers or actresses.

> For a typical surgeon in the US, how common are lawsuits from patients?

Not very common. Pretty much everyone gets sued at some point in their career, but it's rare to break through the malpractice insurance ceiling. That said, it's always in the back of your mind and when it happens it messes with you psychologically.

It's complicated. While being your own boss has a lot of perks, the path to ownership is not straightforward anymore in the current era of private equity. Some of the things that suck are not related to the financial aspects.

That the person in control of that webserver isn't you?

A string is not an array, it is a chunk of text, for the vast majority of uses of strings. Exactly how that chunk of text is represented in memory and what API it should expose is the discussion we're having. My point is that it shouldn't be exposed as an array of codepoints, since array operations (lengths, indexing, taking a range) are not a very useful way of manipulating text; and even if we did expose them as an array, Unicode code points are definitely not a useful data structure for almost any purpose.

There are basically only two things that can be done with a Unicode codepoint: encode it in bytes for storage, or transform it to a glyph in a particular font or culture.

You can't even compare two sequences of Unicode codepoints for equality in many cases, since there are different ways to represent the same text with Unicode. For example the strings "thá" and "thá" are different in terms of codepoints, but most people would expect to find the second when typing in the first. Even worse, there are codepoints which are supposed to represent different characters, depending on the font being used / the locale of the display (the same Unicode codepoints are used to represent related Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters, even when these characters are not identical between the three cultures).

Interesting that the bill's charter indeed says that. However, according to the Legislative Summary of Bill C-18 (https://lop.parl.ca/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/Resear...), it says:

Clause 2(2) stipulates that news content is “made available” if two conditions are met:

that it, or any portion of it, is reproduced; and
that access to it is facilitated by “any means, including an index, aggregation or ranking of news content.”

Ask HN: How do you handle WebSocket connections reconnect problem?
There are few examples on HN, how to handle 1M to 10M websocket connections. I think it's a solved problem. Most of my connections will be idle for most of the time.

Now the real problem is how to make them production ready. If we add TLS, it will become super slow to connect new connections. I think per core can handle few hundred new connection with TLS. Reconnect can be faster.

How did you solve the TLS with websocket problem? What happens when 1 million connections get disconnected and try to reconnect at the same time? What is your reconnection rate per core?

> This is the thing that is most frustrating to me about MacOS—keyboard support is clearly a second class citizen.

This has been true from the beginning of Mac OS X/OS X/macOS. Though the OS allows you to easily define keyboard shortcuts for any menu item in any application easily, there’s no way to use the system well if you don’t have a mouse (or even better, a trackpad).

And it gets even worse with Catalyst [1] apps, including Apple’s own apps like Reminders and others. It’s an exercise in futility to try to navigate those using the keyboard alone.

It's all bullshit. When my company switched to "flexible time off", they also instated an annual goal for number of hours billed, and surprise surprise: to hit the annual goal, you have to take basically ZERO time off. Previously we earned 2 to 4 weeks depending on seniority. Now it's zero. You cannot take time off and also hit your goal unless you work tons of overtime. It's all fucking bullshit and I'd be surprised if it's legal.

When in doubt, if some corporate executive wants to do it, 99% of the time it's to absolutely fuck you over as hard as possible. Corporate leadership at most companies in the U.S. are parasitic insects existing solely to suck the blood out of the company until their next spawning cycle when they sprout wings and fly off looking for another victim. Never doubt it.
this is like saying we have to engage with denialists about historical atrocities because otherwise it will make it seem like there is a conspiracy to push a narrative that the atrocity happened. this is a losing proposition because denialists (of any kind) aren't interested in truth or uncovering factual evidence, they're interested in using the strategy of Just Asking Questions as a cudgel for ulterior aims. we don't need to give airtime to the fantasies of election conspiracists for the same reason we don't need to teach creationism in science class
Certainly there are differing opinions about cryptocurrency in general.

In terms of "does the math work", you're absolutely right that charging $7/TB and paying $20/TB to our storage node operators is not sustainable. But it shouldn't be a surprise that this was an intentional early subsidy to grow the supply side of the network. In an open system like ours, you see these business dynamics, whereas you might just not see them otherwise.

Maybe you're giving it a pass because it's a quick to read comment. If this is an essay or a book, I'm absolutely going to consider skipping it at the first major error. This is especially the case if the book is heavy on building a case which would need to be backed by facts (sources.) If the author isn't willing to include sources to back up claims which are passed as fact, then I'm not going to do the work myself. It's difficult enough to open the time to read the thing in the first place. And I would be doing myself a disfavor by believing any of it.
You can critize the process either on the meta level as in first past the post creates a two party system etc. Or you can criticize the execution -- for example, report on the amount of touchscreen machines not working in New Mexico during the election of the younger Bush, etc.

I would not equate these factual problems with a completely unfounded, call-for-a-coup outright lies though.

You're entitled to your opinion (which I agree with in broad strokes) but with respect, the op article is specifically about ML. Calling cuda a "gimmick" is silly and completely underestimating the datacenter/ML cluster market share (it dwarfs consumer GPU), and fact of the matter is AMD's CUDA equivalent segfaults. So if "being actually usable to the biggest market" is a gimmick, so be it.

Let me give an example of why I don't think a single unified string API works. When doing (stringA == stringB) , what do you expect to get as a result? Do you expect it to tell if you the two strings represent the exact same codepoints, or do you expect it to tell you whether they represent the same Unicode grapheme clusters, as Unicode recommends?

The answer is of course both, depending on context. You certainly don't want a fuzzy match when, say, decoding a protobuf, but you also don't want a codepoint match when looking up user input.

What most modern languages have settled on is having a Unicode codepoint array type, typically called string or text, and an array of bytes type. However, common string operations are often only provided for the text type, and not the bytes type - which becomes very annoying when doing low level work and using bytes for text, and hoping for simple text operations.
> Companies are free to impose whatever fees they want. You can simply just choose to not have business relationships with them.
