More like after shaders became a thing, and it hardly matters when it is an application runnning on the GPU that is responsible for actually drawing.

However it is still an issue if one wants to achive maximum performance, and it is done by only sending the vertices and textures to the GPU that are actually going to be visible.
Same here. No problems with call backs but many rejections after technical assessments as each company only had 1 position.

Except the very first in person interview I did resulted in a job offer, just like in the beforetimes.

But it is hybrid, but I also wasnt opposed to that in the whole job search.

Show HN: Trout – relay webhook events and listen to them locally
Today, the apps we build use a LOT of APIs, including Stripe for payments, Clerk for auth, Twilio for messaging and more. But receiving these webhook events to keep our own data synchronized has traditionally been a big hassle. The problem applies to both prod and dev. In prod, we need a reliable way to subscribe to these events and deliver them to their eventual destination. In dev, we need a way to test against these events locally.

The existing products in this space include ngrok, HookDeck, Convoy and others. They are all great, but they have some caveats. For one, ngrok doesn't provide stable URLs for webhook development unless you fork over money for a paid plan. For an indie/hobbyist developer just trying to test their app, this can be a non-starter. Meanwhile, HookDeck and Convoy are full-fledged webhook relays which can be complicated to use.

Trout is a simpler way to do webhook development. You can create sources and plug them into your external services e.g. Stripe. Then, you can forward these events anywhere. Trout also comes with a CLI you can install and use to listen to events on any source. This makes developing on localhost easy.

All feedback is welcome!
I recall reading many years ago about a woman who had to change her name to be male to get calls.

That is in contrast with a few years ago where a man changed his resume to be of a black lesbian and started getting calls.

Practical P=NP is a very real possibility (I am just testing a new algorithm) and (IMHO) not that scary. I am of the opinion that the advantages of P=NP far outweigh the disadvantages. People tend to focus on the latter, because that's the world we currently live in.

Even if we focus on crypto only, from the perspective of people being oppressed around the world, it would be far better for them to be able to see what is being done by the powerful publicly rather than not. This is essential for transparency, which is essential for democracy.

I don't reject the ideals of e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Declaration_of_the_Independe..., but I believe that the technological solution through cryptography is not tenable, and if we got rid of cryptography, it would actually level the playing field.

There is some debate about whether in-context learning is real or not, but there are many data points (and articles) showing that it is an emergent pronomena, and it emergence in models of that order of magnitude (gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-4, and beyond).

In case you weren’t aware, though macOS’s Finder doesn’t show an editable file path control in each window like Windows Explorer does, Finder does support these path-related features:

• View > Show Path Bar (⌥⌘P) toggles visibility of a bar at the bottom of the window that shows the path to the currently open folder or currently selected file. The path is displayed as a series of folders, including their icons. You can hover over each these folders to see their full names, drag files into them, or drag them into other windows.

• Go > Go to Folder (⇧⌘G) pops up a text field where you can type the path of a folder or file to navigate to. The text field has tab completion. This shortcut works in any file dialog, not just the Finder.

• Edit > Copy “…” as Pathname (⌥⌘C) copies the absolute path to the currently open folder or currently selected file.

Another tip: in any file dialog, to navigate to the same folder as an open Finder window, start dragging the folder by pressing and holding on the proxy icon of the window (it’s in the title bar, left of the title), then drop the folder onto the dialog.
The market is definitely bad! Headcount is tight at companies, so they are trying to make each hire count hard, plus the market is saturated with talent (compared to how it used to be) because of layoffs.

I have to admit with some embarrassment that I've never deployed an ipv6-only infrastructure, so I've never had to figure this stuff out. 25+ years doing Linux/infra and it's still arcane and avoidable. I don't even know what 464XLAT is, and have to look it up.

Rejection email?

You were lucky to get a rejection!

Or an email.

We used have to lick the bosses boots clean, applying for a job paying penny a year, an' if we were lucky we might get a thrashing to within an inch of our lives, and a rejection screamed in our ear.

Luxury....

.

Yes sure, I'm in the same boat, but probably with worse prospects (took a 'career break' to work on side projects, etc), and it feels like I'm boxing in a cloud - 90%+ of applications are just ignored, not even a rejection.
I have to say the same thing. It is mediocre.

and the quote in the article "I have a deep love of chain restaurants period, but Cheesecake is the pinnacle." just sounded like a sponsored message.

I recall going there a couple years ago and the menu had advertisements. I asked the waitress and she cheerfully said "Lots of people really like it!"

... and only later did I realize that was probably a script.

I suspect people go there because of fear someone won't find something on the menu - not play to win, play to not lose.
I think the real problem is that the temperature is variable.

Phoenix had its longest stretch of 110+ degree days since 74, which is damning to the average person for climate change. Think “if we had a comparable heat wave 50 years ago, why should I assume the planet is heating up?”

Now, do I believe in climate change? Yes, of course. Do I think this one year is the mark of the next year and the year after that steadily increasing in temp? No, not at all, or at least not an amount that is noticeable by humans. Climate change is something that is far more subtle and far reaching than “phoenix is a 5f hotter”

Obviously there's some optimum amount of coordination and allocation of resources. There's an upper bound on how much is useful, though.

I worry that we're creating more and more empty administrative and make-work middle management work, especially in many sectors.

Look at higher education, and what it costs these days (as a society and individually). But there's fewer senior actual "production" faculty and researcher jobs around per capita, and the compensation for them has significantly fallen in real value. An administrative and management class has captured a huge portion of the value to questionable benefit.

It's most clear there, but I worry that we're dedicating too many resources to middle management and excessively clever intermediaries.
I've done this to my fellow university students a few times.

What I've found is when teaching topics like this, is to start with "why git" instead of "how to git". Giving people a baseboard for them to rest their newfound knowledge helps a lot later on.

Accessing local file systems from a container? What heresy is this? Containers must all be stateless webscale single-"process" microservices with no need of local file systems and other obsolescent concepts.

Next thing you know someone will run as many as two whole "processes" in a container!

Having dispensed with that bit of bitter sarcasm; solving their local filesystem performance/security problems is great and all, but what I'd like to see for containers is to utilize an already invented wheel of remote block devices; ah la iSCSI and friends. I dream of getting there with Cloud Hypervisor or some such where every container has a kernel that can network transparently mount whatever it has the credentials to mount from whatever 'worker' node it happens to be running on.

I suspect that a problem with rack and pinion 'back in the day' was materials and manufacturing mean they would wear and the steering would get sloppy. Where recirculating ball naturally is low wear. Once they upped materials and manufacturing rack and pinion was simpler and cheaper.

I think for non power assist recirculating ball is nicer because it doesn't transmit road forces back to the driver like rack and pinion does. (Could be wrong)
Seems like creating superconductor is to forge the material in high pressure + heat - then to cool it down. Now only need to find the perfect combination out of millions of possibilities. probably AI can help.

That still doesn’t contribute to the whole planet getting 10 degrees hotter in one year. The oceans heating up means that over the next 30+ years we see that kind of change maybe, honestly more like 80-120 years.

Very interesting, here is a good source that covers 2021 in Europe https://www.emcdda.europa.eu/publications/european-drug-repo...

It seems the difference really is that huge. US 32.6 per 100k in EU it is 1.83 per 100k(18.3 per million) so similar to Singapore. Within EU there is large variability between countries. In US it seems the number of overdose deaths raised 5 fold recently! Recently. In EU they say it raised recently in some countries but dropped in others so overall the trend is growing, but not that quickly.

After reading how they report this data there is one component that seems different. US includes suicides in its count (about 4% of reported overdose deaths) while it is unclear if EU does the same. So we should probably lower the US numbers by that 4%, but still the difference is an order of magnitude.

To me this data illustrates the point I made very well. Death penalty is not a crime deterrent.

Coming back to this huge number I was interested in finding out if it's US that has more than average of these deaths, or is it EU that has less and it's difficult to find reliable data for many other places. So I looked at India for example and I found an official report that claims all causes accidental deaths(including suicides) per 100k is less than just drug overdose deaths in US.

I wonder if there is any research that tries to answer why this is so. I'd love to find out.

The book was good and when I read it, it was helpful as it came out just as I was going from manager of a team to having to split that team and take over a few more in a group.

Plus Manuel, one of the authors is a really friendly guy that pushed the Lisbon tech meetup scene forward around 10 years ago when nobody was having any regular local meetups and he was traveling between Spain and Portugal on the regular to make them happen (or so I remember). I presented my first proper talk in one of his meetups and I remember that going well and giving me a lot of confidence for other things later on. Definitely read it if you need to think about groups of teams!

But that is the whole point! It's not about the technology or the isolation (while running). It's about the ability to simplify the generation of a new set of containers. Yes that's mostly tooling.

Show HN: When writing regex scripts isn't worth it or enough
I developed a text/table modification software that enables users to quickly and intelligently perform find-and-replace operations on text and tables, both inside and outside of the app.

At its current alpha stage, it includes the following features:

* 'one click' transformers : allowing users to edit the entire text with one click.

* directly editing text in other software

* exact, fuzzy, regex, and even semantic search

* text replacement by dictionary: allowing bulk replacement of various keywords at once

* hiding paragraphs without matches: removing the visual clutter in search result

* table text editing

It is written with PySide6 and inspired by TextSoap.

I learned mandarin in the mainland so the romanization of 鼎泰丰 stuck in my head is different. Also, I was thinking more Bellevue square, where Din Tai Fung is fairly located across the street, so it’s actually a choice to make (though getting a seat at cheese cake factory is usually easier). I would put them up as comparable: they are both chains, they are both kind of pricey for chains, and if I were in Beijing, it would be a legitimate question to think about going to that or a western food chain.

I’ve read about this incident before, what I don’t understand is the parameters of the experiment. What were they trying to learn? Why re-do it multiple times? How could this get to the point where this guy was just holding a screwdriver and plopping the beryllium cap onto this core, after a different but similar experiment with beryllium bricks enclosing one of these plutonium cores also killed someone as it started to go critical… doesn’t that prove the point that yes, it will go critical?

It is baked into the contracts and the way that the networks and protocols work. The general idea isn't super complicated though.

You have tokens, they sit in a wallet that you control. Let's say you own 10 ETH. Then that is in your wallet. Those ETH are mathematically provable to be in your wallet.

In the case of AAVE, you send your tokens to their contract, they give you back a receipt token which represents how much they owe you. Once your tokens are in their contract, you are free to borrow against the value that is locked up. If you get liquidated due to not maintaining your loan ratio, AAVE just keeps your tokens and your receipt tokens are then invalid.

There aren't any steps left out. It is really on you to read the documentation and bring some understanding around how all this works. I'll point you here: https://docs.aave.com/hub/

I googled and found another good article for you: https://www.leewayhertz.com/how-defi-lending-works/

Which is exactly why using standard Unix/POSIX files makes sense as a universal interface for genomics programs that are run in highly heterogeneous environments across the world, even if it leads to software engineers wishing that their internal custom data storage systems were used instead.

If random access is needed in a cloud environment, use either that local ephemeral SSD, or a cloud block device which is probably just an iSCSI implementation underneath, or at least a close equivalent.

Operating fleets of compute and IO in cloud environments means that POSIX semantics generally work really well for genomics.

Folks that have reimplemented basic genomics algorithms on top of protocol buffers standardized serialization still store them as BLOBs, and have not delivered benefits that can be realized in publicly available compute environments.
