That's an odd framing of what happened here, I don't really get what it has to do with "legacy elites". I guess maybe in the sense that his parents were exceptional, but when I think of "legacy elites" I think of multi-generational wealth and power that often has little to do with individual merit (and is probably correlated against merit, in my experience).

It certainly is fascinating though. Like it will be interesting to see what happens if the kid of Ashton Eaton (gold medalist, decathlon) and Brianne Theisen-Eaton (world champion / bronze medalist, heptathlon) decides to dabble in athletics in 10-15 years.

This is pretty much a journalistic version of that scenario; if there was ever someone born to lay waste to a fraudulent Stanford president, surely it was this kid.

Yes it's been bad for a long time. I recall the "George Bush encounters barcode scanners" story back in the day.
YEARS later, working in data-capture technology, I learned the truth. It wasn't a run-of-the-mill supermarket barcode scanning system. But that wouldn't have made as 'good' of a story that matched the papers pre-conceived notions.

It's been a long time and I don't remember specifics, but - we'd regularly be meeting with people from multiple different departments, and it'd be things like two people talking about testing, where it turns out one is talking about unit tests & CI and the other is talking about user testing, and you can go very far into that conversation using all the same words and meaning very different things.
I'm pretty sure employees will not be cut off from the external web altogether. They can use it at home, they can use it on their phone while at work, they're not living like digital hermits. So how happiness plays into this decision is not clear to me.

They're probably allowed to use separate devices (i.e. sans corporate credentials) to access the outside web when they need to look up specs, SO questions, etc. This is just about air gapping critical systems.

I really have no idea why this is even a news item worth reporting, and jumping at the opportunity to criticize Google for this is a bit of a knee jerk HN reaction imo.
Here's some evidence to directly contradict what you're saying.

Evidence points to what the original poster said. It may seem counter intuitive but well, solutions often are.
Taste is often in short supply. In my experience, most people overplay. My favorite musicians would often be referred to as restrained. A great example would be Ed Bickert’s playing on Live at the Garden Party. It’s just him on guitar with a bass accompanying, and nonetheless, he doesn’t really come into the first song for at least two minutes. Instead he just does high range chordal harmony to complement the bass. It’s beautiful playing that you really don’t hear very often.
Nope, just Ruby. Ginko (https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/) looks the closest, but I'm not sure how close.

I can speak for RSpec and say the output of the test runs can be formatted such that it generates specifications that are as "non-technical" as Cucumber. If you scroll down a bit from https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/#mental-model-how-ginkgo-trave... you'll see a similar output.
I like OW1. Personally I didn't think the game had a big problem, but unfortunately the market didn't seem to agree.
Where it really breaks down is that there's no spawn without tying the library to e.g. tokio.

Also, the other way around might be simpler. If the library wants to be async, make it async-only, and let callers block_on it. https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/runtime/struct.Runtime.ht...
FTS in all databases suck for non-English languages. Even the larger dedicated search systems often fail at even the simplest searches or need arcane configurations to work properly.
Genetics certainly plays a heavy hand in terms of what we end up doing occupationally. It's not the whole story, obviously, but it's one of the chief protagonists. There's also the matter of constant reinforcement and exposure to your parents' careers as you grow up. So it's mostly genes (nature) and parenting (nurture). Extrafamilial social interactions provide a lesser, but not insignificant, influence.

Oh yea that’s been super common in the gambling industry for a while. For casino games, losers will get comped a night, maybe a weekend even to encourage them back. In betting, losers get incentivized back into the habit by receiving “free play” or “free bets.” It’s all based on their internal LTV calculations and shit it’s nuts.

It’s already beyond fucked up but imagine how infuriating it is for anyone with a clue that does this. If u show the slightest indication that u possess >= 1 functioning brain cell ur done. Eg my max bet at Pointsbet was limited to a couple bucks fairly quickly (my account was literally negative too lol! Altho there were some pretty obvious tells: brand new American account immediately starts exclusively betting obscure stuff like Bulgarian basketball) and similarly at draftkings (tho they were more lenient).

It’s pretty trivial to churn out a 7-12% ROI as side income until it isn’t! I get it but that obviously doesn’t make it any better. It’s so predatory and coupled with how conservative they r about anyone that might win it’s just disgusting

Yes, we are providing a graphql API that you can find "documented" here: https://docs.twenty.com/graphql/

Right now, you need to provide a JWT token that you can get at login or refresh against a refresh_token (90days expiration).
In the future, we plan to also support API keys which would ease a lot headless work.

Regarding filters and search, we have added filtering and search features on app.twenty.com. They are directly leveraging the graphql API.

GQL query example:

```
query ExampleQuery($where: CompanyWhereInput) {
findManyCompany(where: $where) {
id
}
}
```

GQL variables:

```
{
"where": {
"address": {
"contains": "example"
},
"accountOwner": {
"is": {
"id": {
"equals": "user-id"
}
}
}
}
}
```

There's something I'm just not getting with Prusa's justification. With open hardware, anyone can take your designs and run with them. Not just Chinese companies with zero regard for IP law. There is no IP to have regard for. Mercantilist policies in China should affect all western companies in that market more or less the same.

Tell HN: Red Hat reject AlmaLinux CVE patch to CentOS Stream: no customer demand

VoodooJuJu says "The biggest failure of Covid was the disingenuous communication."

"Disengenuous communication" is a vague term. I think rather that the biggest failure in the USA was for the government to intercede at all and to adopt protocols that delayed immediate treatment. By delay of treatment I mean that the protocol doctors were instructed (and later forced to use) was:

1. Tell the patient to stay at home (do NOT visit the doctors' offices) until (s)he can barely breathe and to then

2. Go to the hospital where they can hook you up to a ventilator and where you will die,

Rather than

3. immediately prescribe hydroxychloroquine (or ivermectin, or other...) and antibiotics (to prevent secondary infection, not the Covid virus) for home use, and go to the hospital only if it gets significantly worse.

Countries who jumped immediately to 3 had far fewer fatalities (indeed, far fewer hospitalizations) than the USA, who followed the steps 1-2 (and omitted 3 or did 3 in a hospital setting far too late to work), above. Consequently the USA suffered extremely high Covid deaths:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=usa+covid+deaths+more+than+other+c...

Even worse, it appears that the USA "powers that be" did that to justify established institutions and corporations who stood to make billions of dollars creating not-yet-existent (and later incompletely tested) vaccines instead of providing cheap and effective treatments that were readily available and that worked.
Did you get Covid but never feel sick? New study hints at why
Funnily enough I think recently I had to do something in Rider (the IDE) and everywhere in the file where I had a "g" it got cut off somewhere on the last 1/3 of the letter. It was a visual bug that disappeared after restart, but it also made me notice the "g" in a bit more detail. I attribute this to the fact that of all the Latin letters lowercase "g" is by far.. should I say "fanciest"? I can see how the loop tail variation might seem out of place.
In Germany, it's all about Abitur results: comprehensive exams and portfolio of work in a few subjects you've chosen to focus on, and really only for a few high-demand majors like medicine or law (everywhere) and computer science (at the top tech schools); for every other major, it's a matter of getting decent marks that prove you're likely prepared for university. Not picking mathematics as one of your major Abitur subjects would probably be disqualifying for computer science.

There's nothing like the SAT (single, high-stakes general aptitude test used nationwide); Abitur standards are set and evaluated by each state.

While there's a reputational difference between, say, Technisches Universität München and Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Amberg-Weiden, fees are the same at both, and cost of living of course is higher for TUM just because Munich is really expensive.

At least in tech in Germany, there is nothing resembling the prestige merely attending MIT/Stanford/CMU carries in the US. Of course there's a network effect from studying at TUM or RWTH instead of OTH-AW, but not nearly as pronounced. There are no private, elite universities, no university-sponsored sports teams, no legacy admissions, no giant individual donors hoping to secure a university spot for a lazy/dull kid. Lazy/dull rich kids go to private high schools if they can't hack it in public university-prep school.
great thanks for the tip, we'll try it!
I’m a font nerd, and this one is easily my favorite.

As a Debian sysdmin, I don’t do much in the way of pure coding, but I use terminals frequently, write Bash scripts, Dockerfiles/Docker Compose files, and generally engage with monospaced text daily. Iosevka has become my default over the last several months, to the extent that I have added its GitHub repo to my dotfiles and deploy it everywhere that I operate. It is one of the only narrow monospaced typefaces that doesn’t look squished, but rather crisp and clean while being extremely efficient in its use of space. It’s italics are stylish without being overly decorative, and its glyphs/Powerline support seem to just work across Linux, MacOS, and Windows.
The trick for “lets hand write a parser, it is simple” is in coming up with grammar that is either LL(1) or slight superset of that that can still be parsed by recursive descent with hand rolled deconflicting rules (prime example of that is if-else in C). The issue with that is you cannot just take an arbitrary context-free grammar with attached semantics and mechanically transform it into LL(1) form, because while doing that you are moving production rules around and thus you lose any kind of semantics that were originally attached to them. This is the reason why the parser generators tend to be (LA)LR, you can produce such parser for wide (albeit in practice ill-defined) subset of context-free grammars purely mechanically without having to change the meaning of the attached semantic rules (typically represented as a bunch of copied code).
Private colleges fundamentally drive inequality. Access to elite university is essentially pay to play because all admission criteria advantage the wealthy.
Overwatch is an objectively better game now than it was in 2019, and it's not even close. You are wrong, and I find it hilarious that you want a "deep, thoughtful apology".

Role lock and 5v5 have dramatically improved the health of the game. They've made matches more even, lessened toxicity, improved queue times, improved player experience, improved game balance, and made the game more dynamic. There are definitely drawbacks: tank synergies like Reinhardt/Zarya or Winston/Dva were fun, and having the option to play triple damage or GOATS or whatever was cool. But the tradeoff is so overwhelmingly positive that it kind of blows my mind that people want to go back to 2019 Overwatch.

I've had, I think, 1 working experience and 6 or so highly negative and it was mostly the nature of the system under of test that made it work or fail.

For simple and very clear Given/When/Then scenarios with clear inputs and results that were easily represented with a small amount of text it worked. Think a trading system with a few codes and a small amount of data on the left and an expected result like a calculation on the right.

Where there was a lot of stories that branched off from one another (e.g. a website with lots of potential user flows) it inevitably led to stories that were too vague or too repetitive or more usually, both.

I'm convinced that it does work for a certain kind of application for which the DSL is capable of representing its scenarios, but it's not the kind most of us develop.
I don't use any of those kinds of sources, because I've found them to be too unreliable for my taste.

Instead, I find people who work at the company, or who recently worked at the company, and talk with them about their experience there.
I learned a lot from your replies. Thank you for the effort
Yeah, the violent agreement is usually a big tell. I've gotten much better at throwing the flag in meetings to have that conversation - "Hey, when you say X, do you mean <what I'm hearing>? Can you expand on that?". I think people are hesitant to do it out of fear of sounding stupid; I think I'm lucky enough to be far enough into my career that I don't really worry about that anymore.

The "reframe the conversation to the thing I want to talk about" - man, that one's frustrating. I don't have a polite way to stop that one yet. I think some of it is just that we all pick up traumas and trigger words, and you've gotta recognize when someone said "banana" that doesn't actually mean "the thing I slipped on five years ago."

> The point is that legacy admissions have always been an egregious injustice.

To whom? Anyone who would have been accepted to CMU or Pitt but for the legacy apps will be accepted to another school and still be able to get a high quality education.

What harm is caused? They have a slightly worse starting hand in status posturing games during the short period of their lives where anyone gives a shit where anyone went to school?

> It seems like a judgemental attitude induced by religion. Those most against prostitution seem to be in religious groups.

That's a common misconception, but it's simply not true. If you talk to actual sex workers, they'll consistently tell you that they face judgemental attitudes and discrimination across the board, not just from religious people.
> The vowels are pronounced like they are in Spanish, Italian, German, and many other languages

... ok, this is annoying. Can't speak for Italian and Spanish, but in German vowels are pronounced differently depending on context.
Later, it says the 'o' is meant to be pronounced like in "moment". Moment is pronounced differently in American and UK English. And neither are like Italian "momento" or like German "Moment".

> All of the consonants (b d f g j k l m n p r s t v) are pronounced exactly the same as they are in English. Phew!

Not helpful.

You need to learn a custom DSL for logic instead of using just Javascript. This makes it worse for TypeScript as well as other tools like for linting, etc. Personally I'll never learn another DSL after JSX.

Implicit 2 way data binding which makes logic hard to follow in larger projects, same with their reactivity model.
Elasticsearch is decent at using non-text criteria provided that they are:

1. In the same document (a document in ES is a JSON object)
2. You have indices for them. ES (and Lucene) supports indices on raw text values and numbers as well.

ES does not do well with relations (joins). You can de-normalize data to deal with that.. but that makes data consistency harder.
And yet people think the sokal hoax contains some revelations about an entire field.
It's not only that, I think. Traditional full page ads, for instance, had a signal value:

"We may not be best. But we are credible and big enough that we make a shit-ton of money on our product and can afford this incredibly expensive ad."

Today, an ad possibly just means "Google matched two suckers with each other and will pocket the difference."
Same for whips as I recall. Niche use cases, but it’s apparently much better than others.
Usually I feel very comfortable with 1-on-1s, but a lot of times at a point I start either to talk too much about myself, or start asking too many questions and people start to feel a bit uncomfortable or overwhelmed, while I just want to interact and learn. Anybody else recognizes this?
While the tech these companies built (stateful reconstruction) is quite hard to engineer, large-scale observability platforms like Datadog were much more successful as they could cover a much larger surface area with minimal incremental effort. Even APM companies like New Relic and AppD struggled to justify the value they were delivering with their well-engineered code-level agents in the face of large-scale server/process metrics collection done by the Datadog agent.

In addition, these techniques have been prone to event misses (partial reconstruction) in case the ring buffer overflows and are ineffective in the face of SSL traffic.
> the conditions and treatment of animals in some farming operations are valid concerns

Anyone who has the room for a chest freezer in their garage and can afford it can go to a local farm and buy a whole (or half or quarter) cow, lamb, or pig and have them slaughtered and deep frozen.

Depending on their locality, there are usually plenty of such farms that usually treat their animals much better than the farms supplying super markets. Makes it much easier to inspect their farm in person too.
I would go further and say that some people who are against sex work are against the propensity for other crime to occur (including trafficking, drug use etc) or for violence to be perpetrated against sex workers.

Ironically, if we didn't have puritan attitudes, the majority of those issues would be mitigated quite drastically.
All this shape-based stuff makes me think of antigen/antibody immune-system analogies.

The skimmer binds to the payment slot, some payment slots change shape to prevent skimmer binding, and now the tester-block binds to check that nothing is already bound...
