I interned at AT&T a while back. At the time, they required all "management" employees to prepare for their alternative roles in case CWA called a strike. The IT group I was in had people training to do field installs and maintenance as I recall. Interns in the group were considered "management" employees. Weird times.

There’s nothing stopping people from using their own convention of selecting early to grab the stuff they need and selecting again right at the end to be explicit about what they want. Like select *, it’s better to just be explicit.

That's been my experience with Greenhouse.

I don't know if tech hiring really corresponds much to general hiring. I never look at people's resumes for buzzwords. I just want to know what sort of projects people have worked on, and whether they are willing to learn the tech du jour that we happen to use.

Great work! I think I'm on the right path because I've read, or saw mentions, to most of the links in the footer, specially the book from Cal Newport. A small CSS detail: there's a horizontal scrollbar, which you can fix by removing the width property from #nav.
Not just colder, also drier right?
If that’s true then UPS management is not very smart. Thanks to changing demographics there is now a permanent worker shortage which has allowed these strikes to succeed. You can’t threaten to fire people when they know they can get hired by the next company. The workers will just call your bluff.
I dont know why you're so heavily downvoted. The second point is entirely correct and your first other than claiming something is not feasible without data to back it up (although i admit it probably isnt feasible), it seems very true and fair.
Naive question :

Isn't something like F# computation expression or C# LINQ a simpler and more generic way of acheiving the same effect?

As someone who has been in charge of reviewing candidates before approval for an interview, I never looked at the "canonical form" because it was crap. I went to what the candidate submitted and evaluated based off that.
It doesn’t need to be well known IMO. It just needs to be legitimate and by appearances it is given it is part of a major SK university.
> Also, lightweight printf debugging is often more appropriate than using an unwieldy debugger.

Then use a good one! :)

This is tongue in cheek, of course, but think about steps 2 and 3; this is where you want to verify that you understand when the method is called and what it gets as input. The method might receive six nested structs as arguments, how many tries does it take you to print all the relevant information? Does what you're trying to print have a useful string representation?

Set a breakpoint in your Invoke method. Inspect the arguments as deeply as you need to. Check the stack to see where the method is actually being called from. Verify that you can access any other objects you need and that they are in a sensible state. One good breakpoint can save you dozens of edit-compile-run cycles.

printf debugging shines when you need to investigate a property over many individual calls - What array sizes is this function being called with? At what point does this optimized calculation diverge from the reference implementation? Are functions A and C ever called in succession without B being called in between?

Private entities are immune from corruption and never collude with politicians? People do not get fired for political reasons at private institutions?

You show a mechanism through which the government can abuse its power, which is terrible and everyone should agree that it’s bad and change how this works. But how not having that implies that a chancellor picked by a board with no oversight could not be worse? The problem is the lack of checks against abuse of power and mechanisms to guarantee a basic independence level for the professors. Once you have those in place, how is a university better merely by being private?

I wish free-market neo-liberals would apply to themselves what they say every time someone mentions socialism: pure ideology might sound good but does not work in the real world.
> This is great news for workers in America in general.

It really is.

Workers in certain industries have been pushed to the absolute breaking point. This is exactly what unions were meant to solve.

You can only take so much before you get pushback.

This is good for the US. Unions built the middle class in prior generations.

I used to be a commercial pilot and a federal ATC. Unions were an option.
> delivery folks are independent contractors

Wait what? FedEx was forced to make all their contractors employees:

On July 8th, 2015 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit adopted the decision of the Kansas Supreme Court in Carlene.M. Craig, et al v. FedEx Ground Package Sys., Inc. This decision holds that FedEx Ground drivers are employees and not independent contractors under the Kansas Wage Payment Act (KWPA). The Seventh Circuit now joins the Ninth Circuit in ruling against FedEx Ground on this issue,. In August 2014, the Ninth Circuit made the same finding in two cases against FedEx under California and Oregon law.

No inflation necessary.

Quick math. UPS has 532,000 employees. Let's assume they all work full time(they don't), and all get a $2.75 raise -

2.75 * 40 * 52 = $5,720 per employee

5720 * 532000 = $3,043,040,000

UPS profits 2022: $13,900,000,000

So, a quarter or so of profits.

That is definitely a neat one! If you are ok with it, I might add that one. I just updated the article already with some of the great comments and tips I recieved over here.
I wouldn't say all technical analysis techniques are "astrology". It depends on what method. Support and resistance for example is an economic optimization behavior where people would buy when the price is at the local minima and sell at local maxima. Other "non-astrology" technique is "riding the wave" which is following what large number of people / big volume traders are doing (selling or buying) in a way it's like how AI being the magic buzzword where VC would invest in at the moment, and hence it's easier to get invested in the area
As far as info about the candidate, basically yes. I'm presented with a workflow of the hiring process, and then various links: resume, scorecard. There is a "Details" tab but it's not even fully filled out by whatever process the system uses.

And regardless, I ignore most of the site anyway and go straight to downloading the resume, then go back to fill in the scorecard after the interview.
Two answers:

* In the US there's a narrative that unions add layers to bureaucracy to a process that should (from an IMO limited "pro free market" position) efficiently settle on an optimal solution all by itself. Many people just by default accept this argument, and to be entirely fair US unions definitely got complacent in the last few decades.

* Many HN commenters are affluent tech workers or entrepeneurs, and some are bosses or capital owners themselves. People in this first group kind of "won" the economy, and in the second group actively benefit from workers negotiating 1-on-1. Group (1) has a tendency to not relate well or understand the position of the typical union constituency, Group (2) has financial motivation to push back against it.
Here in Western NJ, Amazon drivers don’t seem to have any training at all. One took out a statue at the top of our driveway at high speed. They routinely park on dangerous blind curves. They hop out of the drover’s side of their vans right into traffic without looking.

The majority here at least are a menace.

By comparison the UPS folks all seem to be professional drivers as a rule and know what they’re doing.
This is what happened last time. Managers and office workers were sent out on delivery runs, usually doubled up since they're not going to be as efficient.
No there isn’t. It was stayed by a higher court.
What's interesting and per my present knowledge not yet explained is the fact that the modern Mongolian horse and Finnic horse are genetically and phenotypically the most related modern horse breeds.

As they say in the text, it is not the speed but endurance and resilience of the horses which makes the difference. Just try riding one of them. They barely notice you, until they decide to run. And after that it's like a train.

Full employment works people. Go read https://www.employamerica.org/ for some excellent analysis of the macroeconomics.

And let's be clear, this is good for tech. Tight labor markets -> automation is actually needed. All the "above the API" / "below the API" scaremongering from the 2010s we should not see as the inevitable nature of things, but rather as a direct consequence from shitty economic policies during the Obama years.
It's true it's not a monolith, but the loudest voices here have been against all union,s not just public sector ones. But do you hear that today? Silence. It's the sound of former well-paid engineers and other tech workers of the techbro-libertarian bent realizing that the worker rights they've spent years decrying actually matter. Could this be because they finally realize that despite their notion that they are in the ownership class with their options and investments, their jobs have more in common with a UPS driver than with management and the superrich who own the companies where they work?
Which the evidence suggests is at most a small effect compared to genetic intelligence, but of course we have to brush that under the carpet.

Presumably the majority of what China produces only exists because every day billions of people in other countries open their wallets, deliberately choose dozens of items with "Made in China" stamped firmly upon them, and thus routinely cast their financial vote about how the world should continue.
Well, If the model is correct, we for sure will feel a huge impact.

And this is the only factor that will really matter.
sub-minute opportunities are absolutely not all that exist, in many ways it’s the opposite. The hft opportunity space is extremely competitive, and much more zero sum than the mid/low frequency space. A relatively small set of players compete for the lions share of anything one might consider high frequency. The set of trades you compete for and the relevant information to generate forecasts is limited / similar across firms, and table-stakes on engineering side are very high.

> If there were long term strategies that were reliably profitable, do you think they would simply ignore them?

Yes? Mid frequency trading (say holding period of 5 minutes to ~1 hour) is a totally different class of quantitative trading, from the features you use to how you build portfolios (if at all) to how you execute on forecasts. At least one top-of-the-game hft firm (that already relied on forecasts instead of speed) got burned on their first attempt to enter mid frequency.
Im my experience: If there's one thing that makes sense to stock at your own little lab - to avoid waiting 1-3 days for getting that little thing that blocks that project you want to complete - it's a wide assortment of connectors. The rest can often be improvised in many ways using various microcontroller boards and voltage level converters etc that you'll probabably already have.

The next most useful thing: A great assortment of fasteners!

I think the thing to do here is to buy like M2x60 through M10x60 (A4 stainless, insex screws) and then use that nut-retapping trick to get that custom screw length that you need.

"Do you mean cutting the screw to length with a nut on it, which then fixes the thread as you unfasten it?"

Yes. Looks like I've been too chatty for today, HN's rate limiting brutally tells me to shut the fuck up.

> She was formally censured by the hosting university that knew what the comments were

She was formally censured by that institution with no evidence supplied, and that institution continues to refuse to provide any evidence of what she's censured for.

Without that evidence, why should we view this as anything other than a political hit job from the Governor? It's indistinguishable from that without evidence of what they're censuring for and with the evidence of student attendees that the statements they think might be the cause are fairly benign and based on facts and/or assessment by a per-eminent professional in that field without evidence to the contrary.

Is it the newspapers twisting it into a right wing suppression of speech story, or is it really just a right wing suppression of speech story that the newspapers are doing their job bringing to the public's attention?
Jeff, where's your interpretation of events surrounding the president's resignation based on?

My understanding was that the journalism school extended a written 5-year tenure-track offer to a candidate signed by the journalism school head. The offer was then mysteriously revised (still with school head signature intact) to a 1-year non-tenure-track offer without the knowledge of the journalism school. When the candidate asked for an explanation, they were told it's because she's a Black woman that has worked at the NYT, and that the powers-that-be at A&M objected to her hiring. She then received a verbal third offer for a 3-year contract.

The candidate made all info available to a local paper, kicking off a firestorm. This led to a (funny, imo) call between the president and faculty where the president claimed she did not know where the multiple offers came from and why, and who had communicated with the candidate about the black/nyt stuff. When asked - in that case - whether the first offer was still good, she demurred. The faculty clearly lost faith in her leadership at this point. She resigned the day after this meeting.

The candidate wisely has chosen to work elsewhere.
You're wrong in your conclusion, even though the argument looks good.

The opportunity is there for the average person to take, but it needs sufficient skill / training, like any other skill. I can't "prove it" to you, but I already proved it to myself and many people in the trading community did.

You don't need any sophisticated tools or huge amounts of money. It's bloody difficult though, not just for the technical reasons (there are many strategies but most go beyond a MA crossover, even though I'm not denying even that can produce alpha -- I don't know or care), but mostly for psychological reasons. And psychology is what's behind many of the patterns you see in the markets.
Another key issue: the concept of open source barely existed. Sure, you got a copy of the source code used to SYSGEN your RT-11 or RSTS/E system, but it had comments removed and was not for redistribution. In the end, the closest in feel to the old DEC world today would be the traditional Windows command line (not PowerShell).

The rise of GNU and the general open source movement was a reaction to the rug-pull when access to Unix source was restricted, and that gave us Linux (MINIX wasn't initially open source, but could be put into a state that made Linux possible).

The Unix paradigm stuck with us, IMO, because Unix (and later Linux and BSDs) have been ported to so many vastly different architectures. So many other operating systems have never moved beyond (and often died with) their initial platforms.

I cringed when Zuckerberg said "We want Reels to be the best place for creators to connect with their community and make a living" in the press.

Did you even ask creators?

Creators don't want that BS. Creators want their work to be seen in the format that is best suited to their work. Not all art forms lend themselves to short, low-res videos.

Reels and the idiotic algorithmic prioritization of Reels over still images destroyed the storefronts of thousands who depended on still images to sell themselves.

Was recently reflecting on this about my own undergrad admissions cycle. Got me wondering: what percent of students at these institutions are there simply off of academic talent and not some of the larger extraneous factor such as legacy/sports recruitment/family donated a building?

Because that was me, just some regular lower class guy who had good grades and a not particularly unique angle. It used to bother me a lot that somehow these other people were "better" than me but I realized not too long ago that in reality, these schools are simply not meant for people like me but instead they are for the elites.

In retrospect, I wish I had spent more time learning about and pursuing the high ranking "techy" type schools like MIT/UMich/Caltech/Cal and less time chasing after these "prestigious" ivies. Plus, out of my generation of cousins (n=30+) only 5 went to an Ivy League school or equivalent and 2 of them went to the same high school as Bill Gates and the other 3 were sports recruits. Anecdotal of course but even amongst my high school class the only people who went to an Ivy league had 1) Ivy league professors as parents or 2) multi-millionaire levels of wealth.

As a (weak) Harvard affiliate, I have to say that grandfather clauses have extensive legal precedent, and have extensive case law supporting their use from 1890-1910, many argued by Harvard graduates. Indeed, similar clauses were commonly included in many state constitutions at the time.

If there is racism here, Harvard has long since paid the necessary reparations. Harvard set aside $100M, or an entire 0.2% of its endowment, to pay off any racial harm it has done. It did so after an in-depth analysis about the value of the lives it has impacted, and the relative value of those impacted and those impacting.

Indeed, it's clear there's nothing to see here. Carry on.

I disagree. What would make it fair is that they put air conditioning in vehicles that service areas that have a high probability of being very hot during the summer. UPS should pay a price for neglecting the welfare of its workers for so many years and pay up to put air conditioning in its vehicles.

Give and take does not always mean a fair deal. Some negotiating positions are just plain wrong. If it is infeasible to retrofit vehicles then one has to accept that but this doesn't make it fair.
