Personally my fondest memories of EVE (as someone with a 2009 character) are when we managed to get the drop on someone and absolutely ruin their day. Someone flying around with a $300 ship who should not be out there in the depths of space. There’s something deeply satisfying about getting hate mail from someone who says they’re going to find you and kill you because you blew up their internet space ship. Perhaps from a different time on the internet, I’d imagine you’d get in trouble for sending such an EVE mail these days.

But for each moment like that there were countless hours where we were just sitting around being bored doing nothing. Or mindlessly grinding. It was fun because it was subversive and one of the few places where you could actually be aggressive in a way that had consequences. And trust me, I lost a lot too. It felt super bad. But that was what made it fun!

I’ve got a family now and no way I can play EVE anymore. But I’ll remember the crazytown I played in.
From my layman understanding: usually it's just dry undergrowth and dead stuff that burns. Getting a healthy tree to burn needs a lot of heat or time, so if you burn frequently enough the undergrowth burns away long before the trees have a chance to catch fire. If too much flammable material has built up, remove undergrowth from around the tree trunks (or inversely, stack dead branches under trees you want to burn, though not sure if anyone does that).
Thanks! FAQ updated again :)
Had the exact same experience. I actually got the role, but the feedback provided asked why I didn't build out something fully featured, despite them stressing to me the importance of doing it within 4 hours.

The worst part was that after working there I found them to be terribly unproductive and it would have likely taken a team there a week to build what they were suggesting...

But yeah as you said, either ignore the time constraints if you really want the role or just politely decline due to the red flag / inconsiderate nature.
Is it a surprise a company run by people that want to socially engineer society using their massive wealth think this way?
Context: I’ve lived in NJ for 25+ years. At one point I lived 4.5 miles from work in Hoboken NJ and the commute took anywhere from 45 minutes to 90 minutes. The bus is extremely slow because everyone is going through a couple of tunnels in/out of an island. Sitting on the ramp into the station for 20 minutes is quite miserable too.

I’ve also commuted from 40 miles out.

All in all, the poor choices people in New Jersey made about mass transit makes me wonder if there isn’t lead in the water.

Dig the hole. Finish the Path extension to the airport, fix the tunnel into Penn:

Expect that the search totally sucks. Have you tried Voidtools Everything? It finds files instantly, even on filesystems with millions of files. Yes, instantly, you type a word and it's just there, no matter SSD or HDD. Windows' built in search is a complete waste of time.

At the rate things are going, the only legal port on the internet is going to be 443/tcp. Use a different TCP port, get a visit from the cops. Send a UDP packet, black helicopters and unmarked vans are on their way.
Just found this, which I think fits my point perfectly: https://nitter.net/jmmv/status/1671670996921896960
To put matters into perspective, Rust reference implementations depend on C++ toolchains.

Same applies to all major Ada, Java, .NET, Swift, Ocaml and Haskell implementations. And any GPGPU toolchain.

Which kind of shows it isn't going anywhere and those planes have to be improved no matter what.

The title is confusing. The workers are alleging Starbucks restricted their ability to put up Pride décor.

It's honestly an odd thing to strike over. Why would employees expect to be able to put up political messaging without the go-ahead from management?
Coba is really cool. I found it more interesting than Chichen Itza (probably because of lack of annoying street vendors who grab you by the sleeve, and fewer people in general). The only bummer was that they still don't let you climb the pyramid, according to the guide, "because covid" (wtf??? in 2023???) Otherwise, super-fun and the bike guides (local Maya who speak the language) are a great company.
My desktop is 11 years old this year. I added a network card when the port on the motherboard broke and switched OS when the OS became no longer supportable. Audio output is no longer possible without also adding a sound card, given the audio ports are all fried. Memory and CPU aren't meaningfully upgradable without wholesale motherboard replacement. That's not happening piecemeal. If you have experienced these sorts of issues, you'll understand the challenges with using and maintaining hardware over the longer term. Piecemeal upgrade ceases to be a meaningful option on that time scale. It's not cost effective, and at some point you just need a new machine. Does that make sense?

If anything, I would think using something for as long as possible instead of buying and generating large amounts of e-waste puts me more in the Greatest Generation category. Otherwise, I'm sure I would love to have the latest and greatest all the time too, but on a stats basis, also not being able to afford it puts me less in the boomer category, and more in the younger generation category, no?
While it's very true that greenwashing is a thing, bans on fossil fuels are not the right approach. You need sin taxes that account for the cost of the externalities instead. A CO2 tax is sensible, "degrowth" is a horrific thing that will kill billions.
OP didn't mention, but is this purchase for personal or resale/client purposes? I ask because there are NDAA/FAR purchasing requirements that the client may be under. Axis and Geovision both have NDAA compliant equipment.

Dahua and Hikvision are cheap but they're like E.T. - they phone "home".
Interesting how this will turn out in the future.

I think longterm, Rocky and Alma Linux will have to switch to the (oh so unstable) CentOS Stream sources. I just don't see anything else feasible for them.

In the end their users will run de facto Centos Stream - Just what Redhat intended in the first place!

On a serious note, this model will allow users to contribute back more effectively. With the current "bug-for-bug compatible" model this was completely out of the question.
Ironically these instant starting NT applications were often using COM.

As much as I hated developing with COM, the application interoperability and OLE automation is a form 90s tech utopianism that I miss.
I believe react native uses zerover and will therefore never hit 1.0
And just to be clear to your point of "not interesting enough" this is entirely about form, not the topic. If the content itself is interesting or not is hard for me to judge because of the obstacles presented by the form.

In my opinion, you seem to think there’s some sort of left-leaning political agenda in this post.

Interestingly, a right-leaning college “friend” on Facebook uses (and links to articles that use) the same “Indians have been doing it for thousands of years” argument to complain about Democrats, California, and conservationists.
I don't write Rust.

But here is what you said and what the author said don't conflict with each other, and it has been on my mind for a while.

People who write similar code, or work on things for decades usually don't really think through what "sketch out some code" looks like. They spend most of their time on refactoring things that has clear use-cases, but not well-defined API boundaries within the component, or between components. So ownerships, nullability checks, data race checks are all comes very naturally as a starter.

But there are other side of the world, where people constantly sketching out something, for things like creative arts, high-level game logic, data analysis, machine learning etc. Now putting yourself in that position, the syntax noises are actively in the way of this type of programming. Ownerships, even nullability checks are not helpful if you just want to have partial code running and checking if it draws part of the graph. This is a world Python excels, and people constantly complaining about why this piece of Python code doesn't have type-annotation.

We may never be at peace between these two worlds, and this manifest itself somewhat into the "two-language problem". But that to me, is when someone mean "development velocity is faster".
Got any numbers here?
Ok, makes sense!

I’ll open a discussion on the repo then! Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer!
That article is frustrating. It seems to completely ignore the drought conditions in the western states as a big reason why they can't burn as often in the year as FL can...

More, none of this actually shows that it is "air quality regulators" that is specifically preventing prescribed burns. That actually reads more as a dog whistle to get people riled up over the idea.

And indeed, the linked article presents a better explanation. Liability concerns on decontainment and other impacts goes a long way to stopping people from doing anything. Straight forwardly, if they do a controlled burn and it impacts others, they are liable to make the others whole. If a wildfire happens, they are both victims.

That is, this article is a direct downstream event from the "prescribed burn associates" effort of the NPR story. If you have a certified associate, you can get insurance to limit your liability. And this is largely because the certified associate will be following necessary rules and regulations to limit the impact. Any reason to think the associates will not be looking to pollution and safety concerns.

For some reason this URL has the noreferer attribute set. I didn't know that this was set on HN for any domains other than the Asahi Linux domain.

"Dumpster fire?" You are too kind. It's a cesspool, and a leaky one a that. Mostly Microsoft fault, and it has been now known to be getting worse.
ESA really needs to work on how they present this kind of thing. Igniting a brand new rocket engine is a sensational event - I would have expected at least a video of the full 12 second burn, from a good viewpoint. Ideally from multiple camera angles.

But we just get one still image, taken from what looks like the worst position.

ESA is doing really cool stuff, but they're doing a bad job of convincing people that they're doing cool stuff.
This is precisely my issue, yes
Hybrids like this are a nice advance over WYSIWYG imo. There's similar, partial live preview functionality in LyX and Emacs' Org mode as well, and I love those.
Believing a tech recruiter has any top secret insider information is pretty hilarious.
You can have it today on Circle, but its relationship with some C++ folks is complicated.
Interesting. I considered doing something like this after getting frustrated with the typical game engines. I wanted to make a grand strategy game, but utilizing an MDI style UI as I knew I could focus on building out the game itself without having to put too much effort into designing the UI within whatever engine was being used and just embed a graphics library for drawing the actual game visuals.

I had some trouble getting the embedding to work quite right, but I might try an pick the project up again sometime.

I know I’ve seen other games use this UI style before, but I haven’t heard of the one you posted, and can’t recall whatever game is hidden in the back of my mind. Command: Modern Operations comes to mind, but is a bit fancier.
Guess: You ruled out the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X, because it doesn't also do WiFi?

(Not to say that's a great product, but you're not going to get "great" on a $60 budget.)

Such a rarity nowadays--great to hear.
"Dark Mode" isn't a resource hog. Even back in Windows 3.1, you could customize the colors. Hot Dog Stand anyone?
Done correctly, degrowth need not lead to billions of deaths. We desperately need to restructure our economic systems and societies to account for the reality that infinite economic growth on a finite world is not possible, realistic or desirable. If we do so, we can minimize the bleeding.

If we fail to, billions will die on hothouse Earth regardless.
When I've done login screens, I usually also include a hidden password field so that the password manager can autofill... this way, it's already filled when the password field is visible after clicking "next". It's at least an improvement to the workflow for those of us using a password manager.

Explaining it to the SecOps person, that was painful though.
In theory it should work on iOS, yes, but for some reason the Revolt PWA doesn't let you switch mobile notifications on. Also, PWAs are just slower and more buggy.
You just need an unsafe keyword.
Use memory arenas and never think about any of this again.
Yes. This happens regularly in wooded areas, I did it growing up, as did my neighbors, and I do now (New Hampshire.) In fact, when there's no home depot, dump, or town pickup, what do you do?

I'm joyed when my neighbor does it, because we do it to keep dried leaves off each other's property precisely to prevent fires in summer and make the same job easier next year. I'd rather burn my leaves to save my house.
People always claim this with no evidence whatsoever.

Please cite the relevant court cases.

The irony of these claims is that the possibility of lawsuits doesn't actually stop companies from doing terrible, lawsuit-worthy things. They do such things all the time.

Occam's razor suggests the explanation is simply that companies don't care about job applicants. And this is demonstrated in many ways.
> And we decided to optimize for developer time, instead of user time

That’s exactly it, and there’s no shame in that. I can, as a solo developer, build a fully featured app with a responsive UI and produce artifacts that run on Windows, Linux, and Mac. I can do that in a weekend, because of the technologies we have at our disposal. Something that would have taken a team of developers several months to do.

On the other hand, the fact that we’re abstracting everything except the business logic away is a big advantage. As soon as Chrome pushes a performance update we can see apps across the board performing 10% faster.
Recruiters are a great source of gossip. Far enough down the ladder that they aren't really drilled in how to deal with media and they have a job to sell the role.

So if you work in the media and can get a young recruiter like this talking to you you can get them to say things like "we're huge, the world situation is good for us and we basically rule the world". Those are things naive recruiters will say to get you to sign up for the role.

Anyway lazy journalism. I don't care for blackrock but really meh. Don't corner some low level recruiter for gossip like this please.
I was a bit confused about the commenters wording as well because the subject made perfect sense to me, and coincidentally I also thought they were talking about 'fertile'.

But they meant 'women'.
I would love a language (or C++ subset!) where we could get the benefits of that secret sauce, while mitigating or avoiding some of its downsides.

Like Boats said, the borrow checker works really well with data, but not so well with resources. I'd also opine that it works well with data transformation but struggles with abstraction (both the good and bad kinds), works well with tree-shaped data but struggles with programs where the data has more intra-relationships (like GUIs and more complex games), and works well for imposing/upholding constraints but can struggle with prototyping and iterating.

These are a nice tradeoff already, but if we can design some paradigms that can harness the benefits without its particular struggles, that would be pretty stellar.

One promising meta-direction is to find ways to compose borrowing with mutable aliasing. Some promising approaches off the top of my head:

* Vale-style "region borrowing" [0] layered on top of a more flexible mutably-aliasing model, either involving single-threaded RC (like in Nim) or generational references (like in Vale).

* Forty2 [1] or Verona [2] isolation, which let us choose between arenas and GC for isolated subgraphs. Combining that with some annotations could be a real home run. I think Cone [3] was going in this direction for a while.

* Val's simplified borrowing (mutable value semantics [4]) combined with some form of mutable aliasing (like in the article!).

* Rust does this with its Rc/RefCell, though it doesn't compose with the borrow checker and RAII as well as it could, IMO.

I am currently using Windows 10 LTSC (the newest version) and after some basic configuration it is INSANE how responsive it is. It boots basically instantly and apps launch instantaneously. I hand the laptop to random people and they are always amazed and how well it works. This is on a decently fast Dell XPS laptop but nothing insane. All the crap has been stripped out.

Seriously recommend trying it out - more responsive than any OS I have ever used - even a lean running Ubuntu or OSX

Or for my nearly brand new Samsung smart TV - starts up in about 5 seconds, then you can happily watch TV and I did for a few months until it forced an update, which slowed things down.

Now things still work, but the TV needs a restart about once a week if I use the built in apps like YouTube or Netflix.

Finally bought an Apple TV 4K and it "boots" directly into it. Such a relief! (Well, except for that bizarre touch remote that came with the Apple TV, but that's a small price to pay!)
very impressive and competitive - if it were 2010

Note that the Raptor 3 is at 269 tons thrust (vis-à-vis 100 tons) and 350 bar chamber pressure (with 100 bar for the Prometheus). The raptor is state-of-the-art full-flow staged combustion which is described as very tricky, Prometheus dated open-cycle. Raptor has been extensively tested and refined for years now and is getting very close to real flight heritage. Once Prometheus has flight models the Raptor will be at least a decade ahead, probably continuing to move rapidly. Taking a guess Raptor is probably much cheaper to produce and operate than Prometheus. It appears like a failed design by plan similar to a decision to continue expendable Arianes provided that 'there are only 10 or so launches per year' and implicitly that the system is set up to produce throw-away rockets that need lots of resources to produce each example.
