> For big companies you need to drill LeetCode and system design. Perhaps for startups it is not the worst use of your time.

Exactly. Any hiring manager with a brain and not bound my clueless corporate processes would use OSS contributions are a decent signal for proficiency and social skills.

That means nothing in a big corp though. The hiring panel will never accept a candidate that fails the Leetc0d3 test because that means other panels could do the same and then it all falls apart for them. Status quo and all.
Reroute through Mexico, right? Just like Russian oil through India back to EU, or is this misinformation?
That's a hilarious quote.
If your network stack is running isolated to your wifi driver (with the interface being frames to send and receive), it's fine: the network stack just sees some dropped packets the same as if something else dropped them. If your network stack with your TCP state crashes, then it's a bit trickier: the connection will likely be dropped, which requires an application-level retry, which also will generally already exist to deal with more significant network issues. I don't think you've picked a great example for this kind of problem.
> Can you imagine what would happen if a bank actually trusted a client device and then somebody broke the attestation? That's not how ATMs work.

I was more thinking about insider attacks aka maintenance people (or thieves with a good drill) inserting a malware-loaded USB stick that instructs the ATM to dump out money [1]. RA could be used as an additional safeguard here.

But only like 5 countries matter for Taiwan national security and those have the budget.
Not similar at all. The federal government is very clear that only they can affect interstate commerce.

Businesses can register in however many states they want, and state governments have no say on how the business is conducted in other states.
I would say that text text and vector search are orthogonal. Some scenarios are better with one, others with combination. But fitting vector search into the interface designed for text is limiting vector search potential
Very strange watching you call the current situation “completely unrealistic.” Then again reality is not realistic I suppose.

Yep, doing a more ergonomic set up on my desk here made my life better too. I had some write/forearm pains too and went with a vertical mouse, and that did the trick. I couldn't get used to a trackball for some reason. Also went with an ergonomic keyboard and that also helps. I don't do any gaming on here, just work stuff.
Someone who is not selling is not a seller, is he? And, predicting the next correction, someone who cannot afford to buy even at the lowest price, also, is not a buyer.
I'm currently noodling on a blog website and I'm thinking about adding a "recommendations" page largely in an anti-influencer sort of way--any affiliate marketing money is pretty incidental to somebody working in tech, but I want companies that make stuff that's good and valuable to stick around and continue to make stuff, so I want a way to spread the good news in a credible manner.

If anything, BEVs have even more older processes built in for high-power dc-dc conversion, motor driving, battery management etc.

Less gigahertz and gigaflop, more kilovolt and kiloampere.
Is modern really better? If you are waiting on a compile, or running the latest game or - other performance critical task of course it is. However for embedded systems older processes are likely to result in chips that operate longer under harsh conditions and so may be better. It depends on the application.

I know where I work we have customers that run our products at -70C and +50C, we can't run a lot of modern chips because they fail our tests at those operating temperatures.

Effect of Breakfast Skipping and Late Night Eating on BMI with Type 2 Diabetes
You probably know it well but let me elaborate a bit more "for the sake of the audience":

- the left handside is evaluated into a value (let's symbolize this value with $lhs)
- this value is passed into the expression on the right handside as the $_ (topic) variable
- the expression on the right handside gets evaluated, producing an $rhs value
- now, $rhs.ACCEPTS($lhs) is called

The funky thing is that the right handside of this operator is an expression, not an evaluated value... it's like an invisible code block. The implementation calls this property of an operator "thunkiness", the expression on one side acting like a thunk rather than something that can be evaluated right away. This is akin to the short-circuiting behavior of && and ||.
I forgot to add: the big upside is that you can then use the builtin laptop keyboard the same way. If you're on linux you can even kind of translate firmware mappings to xkb mappings for xorg and sway at least.
Most companies hiring remotely don't have if your 1-person company is US-based or not.

The ones that care to hiring within vetted countries for $reasons usually will not accept exceptions. Notable example is GitHub which has a list of countries they hire from (even though they're owned by MSFT and could hire on the Moon if they wanted).

Having a company is mostly for tax purposes. It makes everything easier. I think the hiring company doesn't care if the contract is done with a business or an individual. Both are usually limited liability and offer no advantage in case of contract breaches.
There is a significant pillar of free trade called “grifting” that this seems to ignore.

By default.

There's an option to make it fetch + rebase.

But anyway it's a complicated composite command.

I agree with the others. Don't use pull: use the underlying simpler commands directly.

You don't need bone conduction for that, air pods pro 2 work just as well. Bone conducting headphones are mainly good for sports involving water (or sweat) IMO, but the quality is significantly subpar to regular headphones.

Also, you can definitely hear bone conducting headphones in the environment if the volume is high enough as the vibrations also vibrate the air.

This is only the case if you're the sort of person who is unsatisfied or anxious while there are goals you haven't yet fulfilled. A mentality of "my life will begin once I've achieved X" which is a terrible way to go through life. Otherwise what is wrong with having an endless series of goals to work towards?
Well, to an extent.

They provide you with a lot of career coaching, resume and cover letter help, in addition to a ton of time with teachers and some group work. It’s intense, roughly 60 hours/wk for 13 weeks, but if you can commit to that you’ll be employable at the end of it.

There's this country, and its full, formal name is "The United States of America". But that's kind of long for use all the time, so most people, in most of the world, shorten it to "America". You seem to want us to use "United States" instead, because you seem to think that 1) it's your business to tell everyone else what they should shorten the name to, and 2) calling it "America" is unfair to the rest of the Americas. But surely calling it "United States" is unfair to the United States of Mexico? And if you can't call it that either, all that's left is "of", and that would be unfair to the Dominion of Canada. So we're going to keep calling it "America", because that's what we've always called it, and because your alternative doesn't work either.

Can we get off your hobby horse now, and go back to talking about the article?
Ask HN: How to Sell This Premium Domain Name
Hi HNer,

I have owned a premium domain name for over 12 years. I purchased it 12 years ago for a printing on-demand project, but that project has been indefinitely postponed.

I need cash flow to bootstrap another project, so I'm looking for the best way to sell this domain name for a fair price. Godaddy has appraised it at over $3,000, but that seems low to me. I could wait until I'm ready to start the project, but I'm not sure if that's the best use of my time. I could use the cash flow now for other things.

The domain name is: printive.com

Please advise:

- What price point seems fair for this domain ?
- What would be the best approach to sell it ?

Thank you
PS: No I am not a domain squatter.

Java is a huge plus over Python for me, namely type checking and ease of deployment.

I don't know either jailer or condenser, but I know that jailer@java has an unreasonable better change to have less bugs then condenser@python. Like you already noticed, condenser produces errors during run time.
In my old career, I built high speed fluorescence microscopes with lasers and fancy cameras. The scope parts were off the shelf, but the software was mine entirely. So were the firmware tunings for all the outboard equipment! Manufacturers in the 2000s would give you nice technical manuals with "enter at your own risk" appendixes with all the control settings. Was real fun eking out another 20ms~ from a filter wheel with some custom acceleration parameters and balancing. I used Ryan Geiss' milkdrop timing code (http://www.geisswerks.com/ryan/FAQS/timing.html), an absolute gem for Win32 timing quirks.

More recently I've: put an entire exhaust on my car due to manufacturer telling me it would be 2k to replace, rebuilt my garage door frame, reroofed part of my garage, and repointed my historic brick garage wall.

For the repointing, I had to get lime mortar which is rare in the US but here in PA we have a lot of old stone. DeGruchy's NHS to the rescue, color matched and everything. The labor is over the top, but the tools are cheap. I paid for this once and they did it so badly I decided it's simply not worth it. It should last another 50-100y!

As someone who is heavily biased against anything Google, the "related work" paragraph positively surprised me. I wish more software authors would point out alternatives in what I can only describe as a user friendly and generous manner.
I think most people barely are able to administrate their Windows laptops either, usually they just use them until they break and then buy a new one, and never really configure or fix anything.

Phones, with their app stores, are sort of like rolling release with automatic updates, right?
Well that's also what I used to believe, kinda makes sense. But drawing from my own anecdotal experience I had to conclude that's not the case. Maybe I'm wrong, and it's just VERY bad at it, or it doesn't work where I live.

If anyone is ever in Santorini in Greece, check out the Museum of Prehistoric Thera. They have some stuff from around 2,000 BC. Just mindblowing to think how different things were when those pieces were manufactured.
I think so. I don't like using a razor or the feel of it afterwards, so my standards of "clean shaven" might be different, but I upgraded from a previous, non-waterproof Pitbull (bought in 2018) and remember thinking that it felt like the new one (mid-2022) was shaving far closer.

> I’d rather go into a real shop anyway

You’re assuming that scams don’t make their way into regular distributors as they try to cut corners and maintain competitiveness.

You already see established brands lower the quality of their products after the first round of reviews online. If found out, they just blame manufacturing. Sorry.
structured logging has been a thing for a long time, so I don’t really buy this argument.

the problem with monitoring and alerting derived from logs is that log ingestion pipelines usually have the property that when they get saturated, they get behind in time and catch up later. That’s more or less the opposite of what you want for an alerting pipeline.

During some period intrastate long distance (i.e. outside of your immediate local calling area) could actually be more expensive than a call to another state/area code. As I recall, at one point, I actually got a phone plan that let me call 40 or 50 miles into a subscription BBS into a nearby city so my telephone costs weren't exorbitant. (Still used various software that let me go in and out quickly and do most of my reading and writing offline.)

Someone with the username Aldarion is interested in the Middle-earth navy. There's a surprise!
During COVID lockdown, I asked my boss how things were going for our customers, suspecting it might be bad.

Fortunately most managed just fine, however a few of our customers really struggled as they had almost zero income due to the lockdown. These had asked for a pause of the SaaS contract they had with us.

My boss agreed to this, after all these had been good customers for years and if they survived would likely still be.

Of course my boss was in a relatively comfortable position, given that our other customers were doing fine, so we had plenty of income.

Now, if the downturn was more self-inflicted that kinda changes things a bit I guess. Still, we operate in a niche market, so my boss makes a point to keep good relations with our customers as the people tend to shuffle around between the companies in the niche.
AI isn't going to change a pandemic or an election by itself. Those are completely controlled by societal norms and actions of humans, regardless of any technological powers or their uses.

In the 1918 Flu Pandemic, we had the technology and knowledge to end it quickly. But nations around the world chose to spread disinformation and cover-up the story, which made it much worse. A third of the world died because of how society chose to act.

And when we make a product that can do harm, we also make a product that can revert it, clean it up, or institute laws to restrict it. Now that we've seen things like Russian bot farms, we look for them and shut them down. Despite that we have good AI, we can also detect AI. Our ingenuity can almost always be surpassed by more ingenuity. As much as it can cause harm, it can also fix said harm.

AI is just a hammer in a toolbox, and it isn't any worse than any other hammer we've had. Don't worry about the hammer; worry about the person holding it.
So what? We can still have labels for fuzzy concepts like “took the world by storm, for 2 weeks”, even if a couple thousand people are still excited about it 2 years later.

For those wondering: Seems to be coded in Java and supports a decent number of SQL databases:

PostgreSQL

Oracle

MySQL

MariaDB

Mirosoft SQL Server

IBM Db2

SQLite

Sybase

Amazon Redshift

Informix Dynamic Server

H2

Exasol

My only "negative feedback" since I dont have time to test it out so far is the name of the tool. Jailer does not imply database management to me. When I think of jailer I think of containers, I guess databases can be seen as container types.

Personally I have a JetBrains license so I usually just opt to use DataGrip (Which I have some minor gripes against) most of the time. Although a lot of the time I use HeidiSQL for MySQL / MariaDB since I got too used to it.

I will have to see if I have time to try this tool next.
If you are into this kind of in-depth look into fantasy worlds, you might enjoy the blog A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry (https://acoup.blog).

It has a bit of a different angle in that it critiques works of fantasy in terms of realism, feasibility and consistency in a pretty nitpicky way (the hint's in the name, really). Still I find it mostly good-humoured.
It's difficult to know. For a couple of 2-letter GTLDs of mine I've had suggestions/offers a bit higher than that. I had a much higher offer for one, but when I started the AML ('anti-money-laundering') process at the suggestion of my lawyer, everything went very quiet...
Exactly. There is no one proposing anyone provide anything for nothing. It's only one particular transaction that is disallowed. You can show dumb ads, use subscriptions and also freely target based on info that people are aware is used for targeting. That's by no means "free" in any of those scenarios.
Im rather sure Robert Bosch and Infineon are aware of what chips they need. Obviously not the Zen 5, M3 or Meteor Lake.

Germany needs CPUs for the industry. Cars, machines, planes, wind turbines and so on :)

But you cannot build Personal-Computers with them? That failure is caused by Siemens (Siemens-Nixdorf) and AEG. In GDR/DDR they were close to build a 386 compatible CPU. The remaining knowledge is still somewhat available, Global Foundries in Dresden.

But the CPUs for PC? Yes. Yes. Okay. Intel will build a Fab there, too ;)
git doesn't have an offline mode.

git simply has a handful of commands that require network access, none of them a part of "day to day" development work, nor necessary to fully utilize git if your canonical repository is on your own machine.

my biggest problem with perforce (it's been years since i used it) was that it had a "checkout" model where it was necessary to do something before starting any code changes that you might want to commit later. i found that quite problematic, and reminiscent in some way of older systems like cvs. git manages to retain the sense of "the codebase is just a bunch of files" all the time, and that works better for me.
> Of course there is: after fetching you can see if there are differences between upstream and local, you can inspect those difference, and you can decide how to reconcile the two.

[FWIW, it seems you know more about this than I do, so don't think that I am purposefully trying to be annoying. I'm not, I hope :-)]

I agree that you can see the differences, but I'm asking how helpful is this.

For me, anyway (not an advanced git user) seeing the differences between master and my feature branch before doing the rebase makes no difference - I'm still going to do the rebase no matter what I see in the feature branch.

It is going to be rare for me to be able to see, of the 10 merges to master, if an of them are going to break the code in a way that I cannot continue (in which case I won't rebase).

The longer I put off rebasing, the harder it is going to be to do it, so I am highly motivated to rebase on whatever master has, even if it just got broken, because it will be more painful to rebase later.
The USA is driven by greed.

China is driven by arrogance --- a desire to dominate and impose their will at the expense of others.

I think this would have been true in the past, but it may be changing. Google are fast degrading their maps UX as part of their maps monetisation efforts, to the point that backlash has even reached normal users. I was listening to a very mainstream commute-time FM radio talkshow yesterday that brought up Google Maps' UX degradation - that's an extremely non-tech audience. I can see a new space growing in the market for people wanting a Google alternative for reasons entirely removed from ethics.

In addition to all of the above, Maps.me has had a pretty ample userbase for a long time now - while it is technically an open-source codebase (to the extent its even been forked & put on FDroid), its privacy policy & general Russian links of the company behind it still leave a lot of red flags for your typical OSM users.
