Disclaimer: I live in the US but didn’t grow up here. I also grew up in the 90s.

In my experience, in higher education the prestige of the school has a smaller impact on learning than most people seem to think. Mostly, it seems to function as networking and a badge on your resume which can open the next door.

But once you have a bit of experience, more doors will open. In a few years, people care more about what you worked with than what school you went to, even if it’s an Ivy for instance.

Plus, working at smaller companies is a much faster way to learn than faang, imo. Sure, you get good at politics, perf reviews, and learn some best practices, but in terms of domain knowledge and practicing decision making, faang is terribly inefficient for “growth”. I wish I had worked more at smaller companies/freelancing, because frankly most of big corp was a waste of time (although money is good).

Mastodon (actually, the Fediverse as a whole) is still growing in a very healthy, organic rate. Threads just tried to buy its way into a bootstrapped network.
I don't think that's whats being asked here - the question isn't "how do I build a PC with parts you buy on the market", rather it's "how do I manually build the logic for a computer to understand the computations being done on an electrical level". Unless I'm very mistaken. This would involve learning about logic gates, like XOR, AND, NAND and so on, and then move up levels of abstraction until you've created, or theoretically understood, how a computer works.

> As it is now, it takes an average of five years for a new energy project to connect to the grid. There’s a huge backlog of more than 2,000 gigawatts of clean energy generation and storage that’s just waiting in line for approval. That’s about as much capacity as the nation’s existing power plants have for generating electricity today.

> [...] To clear the backlog, the new federal rule will require grid managers to assess projects in clusters instead of one at a time. They’ll also face firm deadlines and penalties for failing to finish interconnection studies on time. The new rule prioritizes projects that are the farthest along in development and also includes new requirements for project developers, like financial deposits to discourage them from proposing projects that might not pull through.
I know many of my friends who used to work at Meta, Google, Amazon, etc. who have applied for this visa, or Canadian PR to move away from the US. People prefer having the emotional safety of not having to uproot their lives when they lose their job, over a few more bucks.

People at senior levels in big tech are now earning 400k CAD. That should afford a nice life.
While it's true that load-balancing long-lived resources is harder than short-lived, a lot of the difficulty of load balancing with stateful servers is actually in the protocol, because you somehow have to make sure subsequent requests for the same state land on the correct server.

Cap'n Proto actually does really well with this basic difficulty, because it treats object references as a first-class thing. When you create some state, you receive back a reference to the state, and you can make subsequent requests on that reference. The load balancer can see that this has happened, even if it doesn't know the details of the application, because object references are marked as such at the RPC layer independent of schema. Whereas in a system that returns some sort of "object ID" as a string, and expects you to pass that ID back to the server on subsequent requests, the load balancer is not going to have any idea what's going on, unless you do extra work to teach the load balancer about your protocol.

Not so much constraints per-se, but from a CAD drafting perspective I use Illustrator with Astute's SubScribe [1] plugin (used to be free) and Hot Door's CADTools [2] (one-time cost ~$300). The former is lightweight (e.g. tangency/perpendicular, orient tools) which is pretty nice (especially if you have extend path options from VectorScribe, a separate plugin of theirs). The latter is very robust and probably has some features most people wouldn't need, but lets you get pretty technical with designs.

There's a new UI tool called Dora [3] that has a simple yet novel constraint system that you might like. Tool is still early alpha but growing quickly.

That being said, Graphite's node-based system makes it a viable foundation to build this on! I've helped contribute to the project and Keavon (the creator) definitely has some thoughts on constraint nodes (e.g. for snapping, but also for restraint/relationships).

Strongly disagree with this. Its very easy to stand out, in many different ways.

> How will emailing someone directly help if he doesn’t have a unique set of skills that helps him stand out?

Because they will indicate their very direct interest in the company in a way that people who are spray-and-praying 100s of resumes a day won't. Because they get to briefly demonstrate their soft skills to a potential teammate in a way that might not be conveyed in just a resume.

I'd hire a generic skillset developer who is a great communicator and teammate over a technical genius asshole who shreds teams apart 99.9% of the time. I've made this choice personally many, many times across my career as an engineering leader.
I want threads to succeed so badly. It's the only app I've ever actually liked the UI of. I've tried numerous Mastodon apps (Ivory included), BlueSky, Twitter, and all of their web variants.

If you're actually living in the US and just taking occasional vacations abroad this is extremely unlikely.

Where people get caught out is when they're trying to basically snowbird between two countries while still on a green card. In that case it's better to first serve your 6 years in the US to earn citizenship. Then you're free to go anywhere anytime you want.
When we interrupted it we did have that discussion. “You play it so much and if it breaks there isn’t another one.”

That chart is missing the big late-june/early-july burst that came when Twitter locked out non-registered users and put a cap on read tweets. Big bump in new registrations and since then activity has been up a bunch as well. Not as big as December, but mostly because it was short lived.

What research? I read the article expecting a study, but it never even mentions the word "research" so that was a dud. The title OP is using here isn't the title from the article, which may be why people only reading the headline here might assume that the article delves into some sort of study, but it doesn't.

I have no dog in this fight, but I don't like how this is being treated as something academically sound, rather than an article that is basically a collection of vox pops.
I have a fundamental disagreement about the premise that abstraction from CPU instructions should be the basis of a language model. I posit that the starting point should be lambda calculus which is formally equivalent to Turing machine based theories.
Lambda calculus -> functional languages -> algebraic type aware languages (Haskell?) -> languages used in theorem proving (Agda ?..) is a progression that allows logic and provably correct programs and reasoning about programs.
Messy natural language can be used as away to collect requirements by an LLM that can translate them into formally correct tests and specifications which can be used to Instruction-train LLM’s that could (insert frenetic hand waving here) write provably correct (or close) code in say Haskell or Agda.
In summary Lambda Calculus is a better starting point because it’s logically closer to formal languages and reasoning.

Plenty of DNS old timers / neckbeards (e.g., Paul Vixie) warning that DoH was not a good idea; there was lively discussion on HN at the time.

I believe both you and the parent meant to escape the dot, as to only return lines with a dot in them:

dig example.com | awk '/\./ && !/^;/ {print $5}'

If it isn't escaped it'll just match on everything.

If matching everything was intended then you don't need it at all:

dig example.com | awk '!/^;/ {print $5}'

Will strip out the lines beginning with a semi-colon.

However, parsing the output of `dig` this way is not needed. It can be ran to only return the answer, for example:

dig +noall +answer example.com

Or if you just want the IP for that record:

dig +short example.com

Ask HN: Good resources for studying physics from the “ground up”?
I always wanted to get more into physics, but struggled through studying it in school. I believe it never quite clicked with me because the classic physics education I received always floated on a sea of assumptions and pre-prepared equations.

Additionally, most physics classes try to teach you "intuition" that is based on simplified models. This often results in a break-down of said intuition if some implicit assumptions made by the simplified model are not met - a failure mode that has caused me great frustration when trying to understand new concepts by using these intuitions.

So my question is: Is there a better way? Do resources like books, videos or websites exist that provide a structure for studying physics while minimizing the assumptions being made?

I realize that this is a challenging issue to address, given the sheer breadth and complexity of physics as a field. Nevertheless, I wonder if anyone has ventured to tackle this challenge?
Reading the title I thought that the price was too low, but the linked page clarifies that it is just “for a small software without specific problems” and anything else requires a custom quote.

Lots of things might come up requiring investigation on compatibility with the library versions available in the taget Debian release. It’s not enough for the program to compile and run in an ad-hoc system where you install whichever versions are known to work.
That data is biased by the small minority of super active users who spend 4-5 hours/day on Twitter.

The relevant number would be to condition on only the 20th to 80th percentile users (by time spent/day) and see their breakdown. I am going to bet that number is more biased towards desktop, while both the 0-20% (occasional users) and 80-100% percentiles will be mobile focused.

The other confounding effect is the bots and the pseudo-bots (humans operating many accounts). I don't know how they change these numbers.

> KOSA does NOT prevent people under 18 from watching anything they want.

You're assuming that people under 18 do not want to see content that may trigger anxiety or depression. The reality is that not everything in the world is positive, and people under 18 also want to be informed of negative news (such as the introduction of KOSA) so that they can educate themselves and respond appropriately.

> More specious FUD.

The only FUD here is the KOSA bill itself, which is a censorship bill that is being pushed as a way to "think of the children". Hiding content that may trigger anxiety or depression from people under 18 does not "protect children" any more than banning books does. Richard Blumenthal already has a history of introducing and co-sponsoring internet censorship bills including the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) and the EARN IT Act, bills that the public does not support. KOSA is yet another iteration of the same authoritarian lawmaking.

Over 90 human rights organizations oppose KOSA because the bill harms people under 18 by diminishing their privacy, safety, and ability to access information: https://www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2022-11-28-letter-90-.... These organizations include ones dedicated to civil rights, youth advocacy, and LGBTQ representation. No amount of hand-waving can make up for the problems in KOSA, a bill that has a negative impact on people under 18 despite its supporters' claims to the contrary.
> The kid that does really well in school, makes it big is going to have an opportunity for a lot more play later in life.

Really? There's a constant push to "grind" more, even for well-paid professionals. This is a cultural problem, not one of attainment. Consider how Elon Musk, one of the richest people in the world, claims to work ~16 hours a day. Someone with a steady job in construction probably has a lot more free time than him.
I think that how country like Japan do that generally. (They hardly have any services that featuring "grandfathering") and new contract and terms under the new plan would be established in the renewal window.

But in the US, I believe post-paid plans (as opposed to prepaid) there seem to be fairly major red tapes on changing terms while staying compliant with whatever rules set by FTC and also States' equivalent, and that probably makes this very tricky.
The usernames are your insta name, so no gold rush to be had really.
If you think a system not passing the sniff test because basic physics shows it to be mediocre, your problem is with reality, not a physics professor.
The problem was they never factor in the single mom with 3 kids, she made "enough" that I qualified for less grants, but she still had 2 other kids to raise and also help put through college since we were only a couple years apart.

The FAFSA is such a crappy measuring stick for college affordability. I ended up having to make up the difference with loans, now it wouldn't be feasible.

I think children of single mothers are over-represented in tech circles and likely on HN, which (alongside your poor grammar/capitalization and citing of a charlatan) is why you're being downvoted. The truth hurts, but it's true none-the-less. Boys raised by single mothers have terrible outcomes compared to full families, or even of single fathers. This is a sociological fact.

We're not interested in rehabilitation in the US. We have parasites here who lobby against the relaxation of drug laws solely because they make money from the prison population. We elect presidents with crackhead sons that are responsible for passing unbelievably draconian drug laws.

Of course allowing phone calls with family keeps connections with family secure, and of course secure connections with family reduces recidivism. This is the biggest non-discovery since a right-wing economist discovered that people who went bankrupt due to medical debt weren't all irresponsible people, and decided to go into politics as a champion of the working class, trading on that "scholarship."

When will people stop discovering the poor and the weak, and stop voting or actively lobbying against them? Prison phone calls have been a government-granted exploitation racket since forever, but somehow they're still legal. Our progressives hire an unofficial credit card lobbyist to be president, and shed crocodile tears for black people who are poorer than they were in 1995.

edit: here's my proposal. Let's not isolate prisoners from society at all. Let's allow reporters in every prison, give them facilities within the building to work, and let them talk to whoever, whenever, and report whatever. Let's take the opportunity that we have gained from nabbing an out of control person to bring them back into society, rather than push them out farther. Let them vote. Let them do remote work to pay off their victims, the state, and to support their families.

Prison should be where we put people in order to protect society, not a torture chamber.

> Today, renewable energy makes up just over 20 percent of the US electricity mix. A five-year wait time isn’t going to cut it if the Biden administration wants to reach its goal of achieving a 100 percent clean power grid by 2035. Added capacity would also come in handy during sweltering heatwaves like those of this summer, when electricity demand spikes for air conditioning. Two of the nation’s largest grid operators issued alerts about potential energy shortages for that reason this week.

In the actual implementation, when making a pipelined call on a result X, you actually say something like "Call X.foo.bar.baz()" -- that is, you can specify a nested property of the results which names the object that you actually want to operate on.

At present, the only operation allowed here is reading a nested property, and that seems to solve 99% of use cases. But one could imagine allowing other operations, like "take the Nth element of this array" or even "apply this call to all elements in the array, returning an array of results".
