You see correlation and infer causation but maybe the better way to see this is to realize that the EU is large, has a ton of work on their plate already and relatively limited budget to work with whereas manufacturers will always just see how far they can stretch it.

The number of EU companies affected by EU regulations is far larger than the number of companies from abroad. Your example fails because the same amount of regulation that applies to EU car manufacturers also applies to manufacturers from abroad. The EU is in that sense one of the fairest players.

According to your philosophy no amount of regulation on mobile phones would be acceptable because the EU has no big name phone manufacturer any more. But as others have already pointed out this legislation affects far more than just mobile phones so your argument simply fails.
It’s not so easy to convert offices to living areas, although I think it’s been done in a few places
Ask HN: Software engineers, care much about end-to-end integration?
At work, other software engineers seem to not pay much attention other components / microservices and let testers pick up the defects.
Surely company’s policy can improve, but it’s very annoying to see no one other engineers are interested to improve the whole system.

There are some automated integration tests, but they don’t go fully end to end, so manual testing are needed.

So i have seen simple common scenarios that should work the first time around requires two or three tries.
I'm not an Intel mouthpiece, and I still don't have a clue what regular power users (including me) use more than 4 cores for.

Speaking from experience, I don't run that many parallel workloads (I don't know how parallel my compiles are), but when I do, given a specific TDP for a desktop processor, and the asymptotically diminishing returns due to lower clocks speeds, more memory/cache contention and more synchronization, the benefits of going for more than 4-6 cores are negligible, for parallel workloads.
3% is a pretty reasonable amount to take each year out of a lump sum you're trying to use to live the rest of your life off, which for $1.3M would be $39k/yr.

$39k/yr may not give you a life of luxury anywhere in the US, but there's certainly people surviving on less - and surely if you were OK on $60k/yr cost of living in the Bay Area it wouldn't be hard to find parts of the US where $39k/yr stretches further than $60k does there?

Of course there's many people who wouldn't want to move to a cheaper area, and especially anyone who is able to earn $500k/yr is likely to choose to work longer before retiring to not have to be as frugal - but "nowhere close to retirement money anywhere in the US" seems way off. I'd even be surprised if $1.3M wasn't significantly greater than the median amount of pension + savings owned by Americans at the point of their retiring.

edit: Actual numbers back up my assumptions above, for example "According to the Fed data, the median net worth for Americans in their late 60s and early 70s is $266,400. The average (or mean) net worth for this age bracket is $1,217,700, but since averages tend to skew higher due to high net-worth households, the median is a much more representational amount." from https://www.cnbc.com/select/average-net-worth-of-americans-a... or similar at https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewrosen/2022/06/16/are-you-... etc.
More like 3, with (hbo) max and disney+. What would the others be?
While this is a very good start and me having that skill helped me a lot, we should not forget that many PMs and all sorts of managers simply love changing requirements after just one call with the CEO or the finance department.

...And then they "forget" to tell you that they changed the requirements. And have not written down that anywhere.

...And then that happens 4 more times.

...And then a month later it's the engineer's fault that he's not part of the hive mind and does not read thoughts.

So I don't disagree, communication and other soft skills are certainly invaluable. But they don't filter out bad manager actors.
Yeah, rap is probably the closest modern popular culture has to Shakespeare. The rythm, rhyming, wordplay, dirty language etc.
I agree this is more reasonable, but at least in programming languages with a language standard and multiple compiler/runtime implementations, you have to read it like a language lawyer - if the spec allows multiple reads, compiler/runtime authors are free to choose whichever read they like, and conversely, users must not assume anything but what's explicitly stated.

With that in mind, my (however weak) defense of GPT-4 here is that it's taking a language lawyer approach to the problem and refuses to make assumptions narrower than justified by the reference documentation it knows.
Conversion of office property to residential also requires a lot of capital which seems forgotten by a lot of the folks championing this kind of conversion. It's not as simple as building some interior walls and calling it a day
Sometimes, you just need to allow those holes to be there, even though it means putting in extra effort to catch the bad actors in a different way.

Otherwise, what's the point of having journalists around that try to uncover corruption of government / military / security services?
Ponzi scheme? Yes.

Lots of major players who really don't want the Ponzi pyramid to collapse? Yes.

But, long-term, no Ponzi pyramid can avoid collapse. Black money is not infinite, and can get skittish when the music starts fading. A central bank printing money can prop the pyramid up...for a while. But that only makes the collapse bigger, and takes more of the central bank's economy down with it when it finally does go.
Microsoft couldn't follow the 1,2,3... naming convention because the first Xbox came out when the PS2 was out. They'd always seem one behind if they released the Xbox 2 when the PS3 released.
Harvard has not been about paying for access to the professors for over 100 years. It's about paying for access to fellow students.
i think helm is “fine”, but the more i use it and get deep into some more advanced uses the more i dislike it.

helm has a tendency to sprawl really fast. the ability to template any part of a manifest can lead to “if there is even a chance the default will ever be changed we should make it a template” (at my company at least). when your entire chart is “if values.thing X, else Y”, it makes it difficult to be confident about what exactly will be deployed. especially if you only have a chart and values can be inserted in many places (helmfile). without helm template it’s sometimes impossible to reason with all the meta-templates.

speaking of debugging, helm template sometimes has very awful debug output and traces of where your error is. in more simple charts it’s not so bad. with library charts you can spend hours debugging, say, your deployment.yaml because it’s saying there’s an error on line 4 of the template, but line 4 is just some
label or benign key, and oh finally i figured out that the deployment expects the configmap to be rendered, and the typo is in line 4 of the CM, not the deployment

helm lint doesn’t catch duplicate keys? i found that one weird

tools like argocd don’t like helm too much. yeah you can make it work, but flat yaml is so much simpler. and if you use helm + argo, it turns the helm into flat yaml anyway

i have heavy dislike of the syntax of ‘and values.thing1 values.thing2’ in a templated line. (same with ‘or’, though this might just be a personal hangup)

finally, to be positive, the one thing i really like about helm actually is the checksum function that changes a label on the deploy/sts/ds when you change config, so pods automatically roll over.
> So the course is dealing with (essentially) a strongly bimodal distribution of student ability and the professors don’t want to give the advanced students a free ride. That means the course is actually somewhat challenging for all but the most elite programmers and therefore extremely challenging for total beginners.

HN readers: universities that teach a so-called "How to Design Programs" curriculum [1] have discovered a partial solution to this problem. Emphasizing a design process in a functional language removes the advantage that students with experience but not a deep understanding gain from knowing how to cobble things together the way they learned in high school AP CS A.

I'm not saying it's the only route, but it works well and develops important skills that are (ime) not learned by tinkering.

I rented to a meth addict once upon a time.

After we finally evicted him, the house was strewn with several ambitious but abandoned projects.

Almost as bad as Google.
Here’s a small project I had made that acts in a similar fashion, but is instead intended for therapy.

It’s not much, but I’ve open sourced it so that you can see how easy it is to make something like this. The ruleset in chat.php is really all that’d need changed.

Merging into the main Linux branch (Linus’). One maintainer has said they won’t merge until the JIT is removed. If it is never merged to Linux, it will forever be niche, requiring the same tricks and having the same limitations as zfs.ko. So it seems better to be 5% slower now and widely used, than to always be niche.

All in all, while a good Phoronix benchmark is what can make it supplant all other Linux filesystems, I appreciate the security concerns raised by maintainers, and I agree that a better approach would have been to use the default code at first, and seek advice on how to improve its performance. Thankfully, it looks like that is where it is going now.
Easier said than done. To become silent and refrain from commenting "pseudo-events" is easy; to become silent and refrain from clicking in a hyperreality clickbait title is much harder, if not impossible.
These days we speak not only when we write/comment online but also (and most importantly) when we click. And with every click, we feed the current broken system. Not clicking is hard.
Presumably the answer is "we don't, because we're ok with filtering out a few very experienced developers if that reduces the risk of a bad hire".

It's pretty rare IME to encounter interviews which are closely related to the actual work you'll be doing, mostly it seems like the main purpose is to filter out the heaps of bad/mediocre developers.
The burden is on you to prove your claims.
+1, I love google docs and also love markdown. If there was a shared markdown editor with the same collaborative features as google docs, i'd probably never use anything else.
I’m a developer working at a company that uses GSuite. My personal feelings about trusting Google aren’t really relevant, I’d love to use Markdown in GDoc, as would many of my coworkers!
I don't think mobile games have anything to do with it. It would be more accurate to say mobile applications.
I would rather see the Sigrok community to design their own sub-$50 hardware that doesn't suck.

I don't want 1GHz bandwidth or unlimited sample depth. Just something that works reasonably well up to 5-10 MHz.
Huh? Are you saying that math and logic are not useful in a wide variety of subjects?
One reason I left LastPass was because it kept bypassing 2FA (or incorrectly presenting it when it for whatever reason wasn’t required) - I could just press cancel and then there all my passwords were. The macOS app was … wild
There are probably 1000 markdown editors out there ranging from a simple textarea that only lets you write text, to Emacs, and something like Msword on steroids. The nice thing about an open market is that when you no longer like a product you can just switch to another one.

I however understand your issue with privacy as any app can just steal your content without you knowing. The solution for privacy is to sandbox/jail the app into an environment where it can just access a limited set of resources, for example you can use an apparmor profile where the app can just access a special folder, and disable all networking. That special folder could be your google drive mount.
Microsoft isn't in the business of selling you a box, they want you in their ecosystem. They'll be happy if you play on PC as long as you buy their games to play on it.

For Wall Street & the billionaires? Reasonable.

But the crash will cause vastly more suffering for normal people than for the 0.1%.
I don't think one's level of entitlement changes whether or not they need to eat. I have to say that if the guillotines ever do come out in the US, it will be amusing to watch the billionaires trying to explain to those operating the scaffolds how entitled they are and don't they know that their income has actually increased 6% in the last few decades accounting for inflation? And how grateful they should be for all the wealth the oligarchs hold?

Frankly, the wealthy should be glad the poor are just tuning out.
I myself like to see my code working end to end, one habit that i like doing since my first job, initially mostly because of curiosity.
We should start to pay money to govs that preserve things. It won’t happen because we are what we are, but we should be paying Brazil and DRC etc for preserving more than what they make by cutting and destroying. That would be the reasonable thing to do and it won’t happen.

People only take action after it is (way) too late. In personal life (health) and in world affairs.
For once I would say it isn't Python's fault either. There are at least 10 different locations that certificates can be stored at on various Unix variants and Linux distros. Go checks them all, which is probably the only sane solution, but seriously come on Unix devs... Is it that hard to pick a standard location?
https://old.reddit.com/r/Superbowl/ is still interesting

I didn't say we need 10 players, just that we should treat them as monopolies.

E.g. properly recognize the market power of a platform owner, and not let them get away with any abuse.

I've had more bugs on the Xbox side than with Steam. Stuff like quick resume server issues where you have to launch the game, then backout to the dashboard, then quit the game, then launch again. I've also seen games get stuck in matchmaking without actually searching and with no way to back out.
i think they want to address the chip shortage (or a possible repetition of the shortage) by extending the life of the smartphones - which doesn't make the smartphone producers happy.

I blame amazon for the massive inflation. They need real competition to make their prices accountable and they affected then entire world with greed.
Presumably you can't tell if the applicant spent 2h or 6h, and in practice the 6h solution is probably going to look much better. So sure, in theory you may be right, but in practice I bet you select for people who spent (much) more than 2 hours.
OS X was the last chance the industry had to make a "commercial unix workstation", and Apple came >< close. Stallman was right.
Hacker News is actually a pretty simple web app - surprising that the network effects keep it as successful!
Why would LastPass let you "unsubscribe" from critical security emails like "hey you're gonna be locked out"? Or have they tied critical emails to marketing garbage emails in their communication preferences?
I've seen a talk by an MDMA researcher, who reported that there were people in her studies that swore they'd taken MDMA, had tear-filled therapeutic breakthroughs, only to later find out they'd only taken the placebo.

Whenever I have to work with CMake, I find it useful to adopt a “please sir, may I have another” attitude.
I have an Xbox One and have had it since late 2015?

I have been gaming since Atari (though the first I bought with my own money was Dreamcast) and even versus the Xbox 360 I'd say the Xbox One has been the console I'm least satisfied by. And Microsoft's strategy with the S/X nonsense and games now not working as well on some versions of the console versus others has put the stake in it for me. I'm going to be extremely reluctant to ever buy another one of their consoles. This generation has almost completely turned me off gaming. A lot of the other changes in gaming (gambling, loot boxes, monetization, abandoning single player gaming) have not helped either, but MS has definitely shot themselves in the foot hard as far as I'm concerned.

My son has a Switch, it might not be as powerful, but Nintendo literally got everything right in the way MS got everything wrong. You can actually play the switch when you have 5 minutes to play. It doesn't do super long updates. The games always work. The games don't get slower when an update is applied, etc.. It has excellent single player games and excellent multiplayer in the same room games. A lot of their games have great deployability.

My 360 broke twice (RROD, DVD drive failure) and my PS3 also broke, and yet I would still take either of those back over the Xbox One any day.

My kid is 10 and the other thing is the game selection on Xbox is terrible for having games that adults and kids can actually play together. The % of games with an M rating on Xbox is so high, and the longer I've played the more the M games seem repetitive. There are a bunch of Playstation games we're quite jealous of, but we haven't jumped on getting a PS5, partially cause they were hard to get? We have a family member who got a PS5, when we go over it is definitely a lot more fun. Another family member got an Xbox Series X and it has been a disaster of bugs.
Harvards pricing system is such that it never costs much relative to student's family wealth.
Easier option: sandbox each executable, so every output file will be located in a special folder.
I wonder if they'll try to recreate something functionally similar to the RHEL SRPMs, but starting from CentOS Stream git.
I agree with your sentiment that animals and maybe even plants can experience sentience. But that’s a far, far, faaaar cry from what ChatGPT is and is capable of. We don’t have “general” AI yet. ChatGPT’s intelligence is very narrow; it generates written content. That’s about it. I believe a lot of people are overhyping it this way.
Yeah at this point you just have to change the name. I would never use this just because I immediately assume it's a tool for Chinese government surveillance.
This is a very big hypothetical. The app stores don't have this precise of targeting, so they'd need to build entirely new distribution functionality in addition to the backdoored app.

Given that Google currently leaks like a freaking sieve and has a monorepo where everybody has access to almost all of the code, it is difficult to believe that this plan would go off without a hitch.
Having remodeled commercial buildings I can say adding plumbing to a finished commercial building is a nightmare.
Code requirements for housing are far more strict. One of the reasons you don't regularly see office building conversions is because homes require things like windows for each bedroom or at least one bathroom per home.

While the bathrooms can be fixed with effort, windows mean a lot of office spaces would have empty cores as only the square footage near the outer edge of the building would be used.

(This isn't my area of expertise. I'm leaning on there being someone closer to this topic here on HN to opine, but this is at least how I understood it from real estate developers who noted to me why they're avoiding office space conversions)
Is handwaving one of the new buzzwords in the propaganda shops. I see a lot of dismissive comments lazily using this lingo.
Interesting. This seems like the reasonable way to do it.

What global scale would you pick otherwise? And would it be sensitive enough to show gradients in the least/most polluted countries and cities or would it just fill them in with one color?
There's no way to prosecute the drug war and maintain civil liberties. I choose civil liberties and the drug war can go to hell.
Our high school did a showing of this in our theater when I was a junior, circa 1996-1997.

It was an urban legend. Slight disagreements about which lion roar to start the album on. Reasons why each song correlated to the events on screen, etc.

I thought there were some coincidences, but hardly worked as a soundtrack.
Harvards resources are spent mostly on paying investment managers and acquiring real estate, not teaching.

A normal part of dialogue is answering the other person's questions. I asked the same question point blank several times, and you keep refusing to answer. Once you answer the question, then we can discuss your hypothetical scenarios about other languages. I believe I stated my question quite clearly.

> Why isn't the return value of that function an object?

> C in itself has no concept of an "object".

We already went over this.

Working remotely provides its own set of challenges. When transitioning from on-site to remote, you find yourself in a situation, where you need to keep yourself accountable and not rely on others to do that.

Agreed, logging in config retrieval code should log all this stuff, requests, where they are filled from, that sort of thing.

The problems with this approach when it's enabled is that log aggregators (e.g splunk) can end up including stuff like passwords which shouldn't be visible to the group able to view those logs, so some care is needed.
This is not really how a lot of this works.

Zoning is basically irrelevant - the problem is that the cost of converting an outmoded commercial building to residential is usually within the same order of magnitude as knocking it down and putting up something built for purpose. I would bet real money that there aren’t more than a handful of municipal governments that would die on the hill of maintaining existing zoning restrictions if they had viable proposals to convert vacant commercial buildings.

Those millions of acres owned by the government are mostly desert and national parks and in any event there’s no shortage of privately owned undeveloped land closer to existing cities (or hollowed out existing cities that are ripe for a renaissance).

Also, just nitpicks, but when was $5k a down payment for a house? 1955? And BlackRock isn’t a hedge fund. You might be thinking of Blackstone (also not a hedge fund, but they own portfolio companies that are buying up a lot of single-family housing and turning them into rental properties, which is evidently extremely lucrative but I find incredibly distasteful).
Yes? There are countless paintings that have sold at auction for over $100 million.

If the hardware was more open it wouldn’t even be a problem. People could pick and choose ROMs best suited for their phones and use cases, just like Linux. Newer phones could use bleeding edge features for their HW, and older phones could use more stripped down versions to preserve battery life.
