I'm a data scientist with 13 years of experience applying analytics solutions to various fields, including physics, plastics manufacturing, oil & gas, and productivity software. I've built and deployed some fairly large models to production. I expecially enjoy time-series and unsupervised modeling. I'm interested in contract remote data science work. Thanks!
I mean... I just recorded a browsing experience? It's the entire experience in general that sucks imho, regardless of cookie consent popups or not.
But you know that the problem are we operators - right?

There could be browser configuration for the cookie consent popup (accept, essential, reject all) that websites could follow but now - they prefer to be obnoxious about it hoping that everyone will click "allow" pit of boredom (not to mention that at the beginning it was only visible option and reject was hidden, which was illegal)...
People with anti-GDPR views appear to assume that like them, everybody else also just wants to accept every cookie. But that is not true. And the interface affects how users respond, too. For example:

Given a binary choice, more users are willing to accept tracking compared to mechanisms that require them to allow cookie use for each category or company individually

Uh, why are sh and derivatives the final word on how a shell must behave? Or at least it appears that you are saying PowerShell doesn't "act like a shell".

Is this a No True Scotsman?

=============================================================

Howdy, I'm Summer! I've been doing software development for over 14 years, and would love to help your team out with any React or React Native project! It's my wheelhouse.

* I write code like the big companies - and I enforce unit tests, CI/CD, and clean code. I can do all the setup, too!

* I have no problem coming up with deadlines and communicating with the business. As a fundamental rule, I am always transparent and honest about my work. Need me to break down tasks, assign them out, and play project manager? I can do that, too!

* I love mentoring and helping others. Any developers under my wing will learn everything I know. I've worked at IBM, multiple staffing firms, and other small shops so I've seen it all! I am a very kind and bubbly person, so any developer will always feel safe to ask me questions and learn.

* I'm a US Citizen living in Dallas, Texas

> you're going to consent to anyway

Speak for yourself. I never consent to marketing or analytical cookies. I appreciate the option to turn them off.
Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (August 2023)
What are you working on? Any new ideas that you're thinking about?
Instead of hating the EU, how about directing your hate towards the bad players of the web? Cookie banners are not the fault of the EU, but the fault of companies disrespecting privacy rights and pushing data collection, ads and all possible shady growth hacking strategies towards the user. I am glad that a government body actually made this possible and made visible how horrible the internet is.
And it’s so easy, with the choice of one button to make things work like they always did, or a quick sixteen-part questionnaire and identity verification process if you want to submit a request to be considered for an alternative cookie delivery experience.
This isn't actually EU specific.
> It's also clear that some people feel real benefits from being in the office.

If I could instantly teleport in the office and if the office had quiet private spaces, yes sure, but the terrible housing market, long commutes and shit offices, are bigger downer that prevent me from prioritizing going to the office even though I like working and socializing with my coworkers.
> I talked to a director last week who spends 1/3 the year in ski country, 1/3 the year in the Midwest and 1/3 the year on the coast. He's not going back, and practically anyone would be lucky to have him.

Does he actually spend any time working?
The problem is, that the thing that's happening is shirt-term good for the users, and people don't want any government action until it's too late.

If i start offering $5 oil changes (oil included, price difference covered by VC money), that's good for the consumer... then all the other shops close down, but consumers still get the $5 oil changes... then I hike the price, and only then people start to complain. And if you close me then, who will change your oil?

Imagine government banning google for offering free email and killing most of the competition back then... people would complain, a gigabyte was a HUGE amount of space for then, and all that for free!
Yup. The OS contains the debugger process contains a copy of the debugger contains a copy of the runtime contains a copy of the program state contains a copy of the linked system libraries and such and, somewhere, in some tiny section of the executable behemoth, the code that I wrote to print hello world.

Always wondered why we usually stop at adding first-class features at the code. Or go “Oooh” if a language lets you go one step up the chain to eg metaprogramming methods.

The whole chain is where we are working; the whole chain should be the first-class citizen of the language/tool.
The Reddit one is just because of Reddit, not cookie consent.
Looking forward to trying out this release!

After programming professionally for 25 years, IMO Nim really is the best of all worlds.

Easy to write like Python, strongly typed but with great inference, and defaults that make it fast and safe. Great for everything from embedded to HPC.

The language has an amazing way of making code simpler. Eg UFCS, generics, and concepts give the best of OOP without endless scaffolding to tie you up in brittle data relationships just to organise things. Unlike Python, though, ambiguity is a compile time error.

I find the same programs are much smaller and easier to read and understand than most other languages, yet there's not much behind the scenes magic to learn because the defaults just make sense.

Then the compile time metaprogramming is just on another level. It's straightforward to use, and a core part of the language's design, without resorting to separate dialects or substitution games. Eg, generating bespoke parsing code from files is easy - removing the toil and copypasta of boilerplate. At the same time, it compiles fast.

IMHO it's easier to write well than Python thanks to an excellent type system, but matches C/C++ for performance, and the output is trivial to distribute with small, self contained executables.

It's got native ABI to C, C++, ObjC, and JS, a fantasic FFI, and great Python interop to boot. That means you can use established ecosystems directly, without needing to rewrite them.

Imagine writing Python style pseudoocode for ESP32 and it being super efficient without trying, and with bare metal control when you want. Then writing a web app with backend and frontend in the same efficient language. Then writing a fast paced bullet hell and not even worrying about GC because everything's stack allocated unless you say otherwise. That's been my Nim experience. Easy, productive, efficient, with high control.

For business, there's a huge amount of value in hacking up a prototype like you might in Python, and it's already fast and lean enough for production. It could be a company's secret weapon.

So, ahem. If anyone wants to hire a very experienced Nim dev, hit me up!

Replacing it wouldn't be great tho...
Did they ban your card and your account after that in retaliation?
Hmm, not in that thread, but maybe in a thread about D1 or Durable Objects? We are indeed trying to make it as easy as possible for applications to shard databases by user or by "document".
A reminder that websites wouldn't need to do this if their intention wasn't to track you all over the internet.

It's google, facebook etc that are trying to shove these things down your throat, not the EU.
Thanks. For me, I just do not think humanity in its current state could handle the the massive amount of migration that could potentially happen without ugly political upheavals and conflict. I guess we will find out.

I am a lead multiplatform app developer specializing in Ionic, with experience in native Android development. I can create my own Cordova/Capacitor plugins and have expertise in designing comprehensive systems encompassing backend, frontend, and mobile app components. With extensive experience in team leadership and full project management, I am also a Certified Scrum Master. I have successfully led multi-company international cooperation projects involving mobile app, web app, backend, and specialized hardware sensors. Additionally, I have managed the mobile app department of my company.
I think most of the comments here right now are missing the point of OP's post. It's not about one thing in particular (cookie consent), just that the whole ordeal is full of ads and popups (one of which is the cookie consent popup).

Most of this crap is the same everywhere, not just in the EU.
Does Remote US include Puerto Rico (US territory)? Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
I love complete, dead silence. I can't stand it when people need to fill every second with noise just because, whether it's with the tv, music, or a constant stream of consciousness chatter.
Good finds. Thanks!

Yeah, it's the comparison between DRE and Gas ejecta that got me bogged down before.

Having now given up, I asked ChatG4. It says "the mass ratio between DRE and gaseous emissions might be on the order of 20:1 to 100:1", no citations ofc.

So, just as a strawman and using your 10-40%, on the low end .01.1 = 0.001, high end .05.4 = 0.02. So .1%-2% of ejecta by mass is CO2 emissions. Hah :)

Using my orig figure for Toba of a billion gigatons of ejecta, of which roughly a million gigatons would be CO2. Correct math?

Human GHG emissions are ~50 Gt/year.
> You would expect the push to fail in the normal way, as if you had manually done the rebase, because your commit history may have diverged. That being said, I don't think this happens much in practice: the automatic rebases are typically for explicit history-rewriting operations that users tend to only do on their local work. If a user prefers to use a "no-rewriting" workflow, then they can certainly do so by simply not issuing the history-rewriting commands.

Yeah, most of those rebases happen in the working copy or inside the anonymous branch.

> I'm not sure what you mean by this. You can do `jj merge` in a similar way to `git merge`, or you can do a rebase workflow.

I just meant merging a feature branch back to its parent, jj merge exists but it's not obvious which revisions you are supposed to pass to it and jj log doesn't even seem to be able to update the HEAD for the parent branch. It should be an easy operation but it's not, clearly not the suggested workflow (or at least, not documented from what I've read).
Lately, I've been having developers and designers on my team install each of the three major browsers without plugins and visit five of the "top 10 media sites" (https://www.similarweb.com/top-websites/news-and-media/), plus twitter, facebook and linkedin for a total of two hours so they see what the web looks like for regular users. It doesn't take long for people to realize just how terrible 25 years of accumulated surveillance, advertising and front-end cruft has made the web.
## Compensation

No. All of these videos show the same part of the flake being repelled by both sides of the magnet, as well as other videos showing that the sample does not attract.

I always enjoy the story of poor immigrants 'humble beginnings' sent away to expensive boarding school in foreign country.
"When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it." Hinton referenced Oppenheimer some time before he changed direction on this and resigned from Google. It sounds like what made the difference to him was a flip from "far mode" thinking where something like human level seemed at least decades off, and thus felt like a cloudy abstraction, to near mode.
This sounds great. How is the package management story, and how robust is the ecosystem currently?

To align incentives, maybe it's time we start paying for the web content we consume with money.
Dynamic current does not flow freely in superconductors, only direct current. So it would help for power circuits, not for data lanes.
Nonsense -- it's entirely self-promotion:

> At that point, they called me to help as a hybrid work expert who The New York Times has called “the office whisperer.” We worked on adapting their return-to-office plan, . . .

> In another case, a large financial services company began noticing employee turnover despite offering competitive salaries . . . . After consulting with me, they adjusted their policies to be more competitive in offering flexibility.

He's just trying to sell books and consulting. Nothing wrong with that -- but hardly objective analysis.

Résumé/CV: https://davekinkead.com/
Email: hn@davekinkead.com

Once upon a time I was a military officer, then I became an academic philosopher, and now I'm a full stack dev living in the French Alps. I'm looking for remote freelance/contract/consulting positions in the ruby & JS ecosystems either fully async or with with a working day cross over to CET (+2).

I specialise in turning vague ideas into robust software. I am really good at asking questions that get to the heart of difficult problems, translating this into actionable requirements, then delivering well documented and tested code.

I have extensive leadership and mentoring experience. I am happy to help bring junior devs up to speed but I’m equally happy playing a supporting role as part of a team. Drop me a line if you think I can add value to your organisation.
That's what the companies make browsing the web in the EU look like nowadays. It's their decision to abuse us - and the law - and it is on them to fix it. If you check the enforcement tracker you can get an idea of what the tip of the iceberg looks like, the data that's lost/sold/leaked. Then take into account that just like with a real iceberg the bulk of the leaks and breaches goes unreported (and probably a large fraction of them goes undetected until the data shows up on some marketplace).

Until the GDPR a lot of this went on anyway, but totally invisible, now at least we have some idea of the magnitude of the problem and companies have an incentive to at least try to get it right. Not that many of them do. People that are categorically against government regulation tend to point at this and say 'see: that's what you get'. But they forget that in the relationship between companies and individuals it is the companies that on balance have the most power and there is ample evidence that this power then gets abused. Hence regulation. I'm all for tightening the rules another notch or two and adding a zero to the average fine. Because there is still a lot of room for improvement.

this is how you know the AI moment is not real. its all marketing for the likes of capitalistic shit like Tesla and self-driving as its some kind of savior for humanity instead of some marketing gimmick for some car dealer. like bro trains exists.
this is the first time only
Really surpising to me that compilers don't support a feature like this. Anybody know why?
The model itself doesn't contain C++ code. The runtime supports Python, JS, etc. I don't think they are shipping a copy of clang as part of the rt. I could be wrong, I haven't looked. Of course it needs the scaffolding to get data in and out.

I just did an install of the runtime on Python ( pip install onnxruntime ) . Here are the additional packages it installs.

Package Version
------------- -------
coloredlogs 15.0.1
flatbuffers 23.5.26
humanfriendly 10.0
mpmath 1.3.0
numpy 1.25.2
onnxruntime 1.15.1
packaging 23.1
protobuf 4.23.4
sympy 1.12

...Is this article plagiarized from this article posted June 26: https://www.entrepreneur.com/growing-a-business/the-damaging... ? It was even submitted to HN and had a few hundred comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36500448
The point of that quote is of course not that the evidence must have some mythical flavor or whatever - that would be absurd, but rather that if your prior is a strongly held belief that something is not possible and thus the claim to the contrary is extraordinary, then the evidence sufficient to overturn that prior belief must naturally also be extraordinarily convincing.

It's just standard Bayesian reasoning (apologies if I'm misusing the terminology).

Given how much prior research has been done on superconductors, how attractive a target they are for research, and the demonstrated history of fraud in the field - it's not unnatural to retain skepticism concerning this story.

Doesn't mean the story is fraudulent or falsely believed to be fraudulent; it simply means that more evidence is needed to settle this convincingly. I'm sure will get that soon enough - either way.
Bay area tech companies aren't the norm even for programmers. There are like 4 million software devs in the US, most of us are working at companies you've never heard of, and have office norms much closer to that of the rest of office workers. Often somewhat more prestige and flexibility, but not so dramatic.

So yes I think your experience is probably an outlier. And on HN generally I think that sort of environment is overrepresented still.
I'm quite literally shocked whenever I have to use a relative's computer for a bit.
Solving some percentage car accidents with AI requires a law or a common agreement by car companies to put AI in cars. That's an investment of time and money that isn't going to solving some other problem. Everything is a trade off, and some problems simply come with the territory of being human.

The appeal of self-driving is usually just financial.
I don’t live in the EU and I have the same experience. This is my beef with the EU exporting their legislations.
That was one of the excuses used by some major websites to justify ignoring the DNT signal, yes.

The argument is transparent self-serving BS, though.
