Yeah, it's not great. Unfortunately, a car is basically required to hold any kind of job in most of the US, aside from the (expensive) cores of few select cities. That's doubly true for low-income folks. It's effectively impossible to enforce safety regs when a large part of the population simply can't afford to maintain a safe vehicle. The alternative is even worse mass homelessness. For similar reasons, extremely dangerous drivers basically never get their license taken away.

I live in a snowy place, and the number of people I see running absolutely bald summer tires in the winter is horrifying.
For those of us who started in the last 10 years, Jane Street falls within that union set as well. MBBs, FAANG, and top HFTs tend to recruit at the same handful of top public and private schools.

The GSIBs (by which I assume you mean large banks) pay shit outside of their IB practices. That said, if you were good enough to get a FAANG APM interview and an MBB Analyst interview at a program like Cal or Mich or Harvard you'd probably get an IB Associate interview at UBS or JPMC as well.
They wanted individual offices around team spaces. Not team offices. 8 person rooms are as bad in my experience as many open floors.

That will depend. Littering is a separate area of laws from mail. And this is in Canada which will have different laws. There is also customs involved here which is another tricky area. In the US if it is addressed to you, then it is yours to do with as you like, but if it is addressed to someone else (and misdelivered) you have to make it available to the intended receiver.
Fine “being a billionaire”can be made relative.

But that doesn’t eliminate great disparities within any context.

One person will be miserably poor, neglected and abused by their parents, face social challenges due to appearance and speech issues, get cancer, then during remission be shot to death by a local criminal.

Another person has a stable childhood in a supportive, healthy and ethical environment. Effortlessly accumulates useful friends and acquaintances in part due to family reputation, height, mesmerizing speech qualities and physical attractiveness. And happens to discover the useful and novel work they love and are meant to do while still in high school.

And everything in between.

Also, we all think differently in ways we can’t undo. I don’t mean facts or beliefs or learned skill. Nature and early childhood experiences, that none of us were in control of, wired each of us very differently. The kinds of things each of us can do well vary greatly in quantity, quality and variety, and in usefulness within our context.

Two randomly selected people in any society are not going to have the same probability of success with the same amount of work. The variance is tremendous.

Turning every problem into another version of “work harder”, “do what it takes, “learn what it takes”, might be a good attitude. It might be helpful. But it won’t eliminate the disparity in results regardless of commitment.

Life is full of unfairness, accident, important epiphanies that come too late, etc. Stoicism and objectivity about that isn’t defeatism.

The ways things happen in the exterior world, and our internal worlds, are inherently chaotic. Small seeming things can lead us to serendipity or ruin in ways we will never be aware of.

We are more likely to create greater fairness and opportunity for ourselves and others by recognizing reality, and responding with a will to improve things despite the uncertain returns.

Ironically, the very point of Y-Combinator is the recognition that context matters. A lot.
I just read the first chapter and it reads very very nice! Wish I had that back in Uni haha. Well done, keep on going! Computers are indeed simple and complicated at the same time.

I also had a great book when starting out: "Einführung in die Informatik" from Gumm/Sommer (my professors), written in German. They explain round about everything on a basic level in round about 900 pages. Think about how far we've come in the last 15 years, wow! I feel very sentimental now haha
I had the same feeling, but frankly I didn’t bother replying because somebody putting sandstorm and kubernetes on the same level shows their complete lack of any understanding whatsoever.

That being said, it looks like Reddit might be confused about Jewish holidays: SUSECON 2017 appears to have run between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, like he said. That is indeed a holy week, and scheduling a conference during it is roughly analogous to scheduling a conference between Christmas and New Years'. But I don't think they did that intentionally; it's just unfortunate timing.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "works", but to my untrained eye BMI doesn't work especially well for individuals in general. It was designed to measure large populations using routinely collected statistical data, not to inform individual lifestyle and medical decisions. These days we have much more effective methods to evaluate metabolic and cardiovascular health instead of using a metric that's a proxy of a proxy, but calculating BMI and applying a (largely arbitrary) label is dirt-cheap by comparison to all of those; it requires no special expertise, expensive equipment, time-consuming procedure, or thoughtful analysis.

Vantage is awesome - I've talked with Ben (their CEO) a few times. There are a lot of tools that start from the cloud bills, and give you visibility of everything (Vantage, Cloudability, Cloud Health Tech, Flexera etc) - all of these tools are reactive in nature as they start from the cloud bills. Infracost sits where your code sits, and therefore it can be proactive; before anything is launched and costs money, it'll tell you how much it is going to cost. So if you have a budget of $1K, and you try to launch a 24xl instance, it'll tell you that you budget will be blown, before you've launched the resource. Making it all proactive.

They also need an address for fake reviews that are left by ‘people who bought this product’.
My first point, which I elaborated on in another reply to my comment, is that this makes sense for tools that are completely no-code. Refine brags about being developer first. Their example on github is a 75 line React-ish script. So, someone is writing, testing, deploying code. If that isn't your dev team, then who is managing that process and supporting it when someone inevitably borks it?

My second point is that even no-code tools tend to require developer support sooner or later. What I've noticed for admin tooling is that it often works best when it is driven by the product team. For example, customer support requests comes in which requires devs to stop working, investigate the issue, manually fix up data where necessary, etc. Devs hate doing this. Give the dev the ability to add the functionality to the admin and they often will, just to make the support requests go away. If you take away the admin from the product team then there is more friction in this path.

I will admit however, that the quality of life improvements demanded by the support teams often go un-attended. But I don't see how Refine will help this go away if it requires someone familiar with next.js/React, Ant/MaterialUI, etc. to make changes.

And I thought it was outrageous that no way for me to stop this trash advertising newspaper van from dumping their paper on my driveway twice a week every week for the last 15 years.

There is essentially one out there, all water logged usually, at all times. I pick them up and throw them away, and the next day it's back.

Years ago a few times I waited and watched and confronted the guy when he actually showed up, I almost got beat up! Mexican couple and the guys wife had to hold him back from getting them I into trouble). I tried calling an office number found on the paper itself several times. I did get a person, who said "ok", which resulted in nothing. They even asked if I rent and tried to say that if I rent, then I don't own the property, and so can't make the demand.

It's a small thing but it's ultimately somehow just ridiculous that there is no way to stop someone from dumping some trash on my property, short of moving to a gated community which is nine thousand times worse than this "trash tattoo". It just boggles my mind that even if you decided to expend the effort, it turns out there is nothing you can do. Sue the paper company? For what damages? What court would waste 8 minutes on something like that?

Anyway my point was "and I though that was outrageous"

This sentence in particular doesn't sound credible at all. In fact it seems impossible for a person wearing a breastplate to not be wounded in some way after their breastplate is punched through with a hole.

Starting a reply with a 'lol' also can only decrease the credibility of the writer, so this doesn't seem like a smart thing to do for someone looking to question another HN user's comments.

I don't know whether it's a deliberate strategy but this definitely happened to me during my interview with Canonical this year.

From a diversity perspective, putting any focus on teenage years will probably select candidates from a privileged background, or people who have re-written their past into the award-winning narrative that's implied by the questions.

But maybe I'm wrong, maybe someone could answer the question "what was your biggest achievement during high school" with "I got clean", "I ran away from an abusive parent" or "I spent all my teenage years being bullied, and survived a suicide attempt" and they'd land the job.
Well, apparently parent doesn't think that is an accomplishment, so yes.

That depends on the level of collections. The first level for people who are likely to pay. Some doctors send all bills to collections for example - nearly everyone knows they need to pay the bill and will pay it, and the collectors need to be polite about this so the doctor keeps sending bills their way. The levels after that though are for people who either can't pay, or won't pay and you get the jerks of the collections business here because that is your best chance of getting you to pay.

Don't forget it can obviate the need for extremely expensive child care. Someone working 9-5 in an office doing the work you describe needs at least 2 hours of day care with 4 hours being closer to the average. That's tens of thousands of dollars in day care costs a year.

Working from home means a parent can be home when their kids are home, available if they need to be picked up from school, and can just generally be more present for their kids. This is all especially helpful for single parents. They can't not work but day care costs keep the family destitute unless that parent makes very good money.

Indeed, alongside all the other numerical calculations and symbolic manipulation...

Example question: what is the diameter of a sphere of tungsten - in inches, say - that weighs the same as a human (say, 150 lbs)?

Looking up the formula for the volume of a sphere gives: v = (4/3) pi (r^3), and googling the density of tungsten gives us 19.3 g/cm3.

Great! Now we already have inches, centimeters, pounds, grams, a fiddly ^3 to trip up our unit conversion from cubic centimeters to cubic inches (or is it vice versa?), some rearranging of an equation to extract the 'r'...

Luckily with qalculate, we can just smoosh it all together without thinking.
We can substitute 'd/2' for "r", followed by 'x' for 'd' to tell qalculate that that's the quantity we want to figure out, and put it in inches while we're at it:

v = (4/3) pi ((x/2 inches)^3)

We're not after the volume but rather the mass, which is the volume times the density, and should equal 150lbs:

150 lb = (19.3 g/cm3) (4/3) pi ((x/2 inches)^3)

Hit enter and:

x ≈ 7.434184004

Amazing. A 7.4 inch cannonball of tungsten weighs as much as an adult human. Note that the result is only dimensionless because we balanced the equation - if we'd messed up any part of this formula, we'd have probably got our answer back in some perverse unit instead.

Oh and we didn't actually need to look up the formula for the volume of a sphere:

150 lb = (19.3 g/cm3) sphere(x/2 inches)
For context, this is the kind of reasoning I mean when I say "not specifically antisemitic": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31342308

Many Germans equate "German-ness" with being white and ("culturally") Christian. Jewish holidays would then not only be seen as foreign (in the sense of "Why should a German company celebrate a foreign holiday?") but also religious (unlike Christmas or Easter, which are "just special dates" like Fastnacht or New Year's, as long as you don't emphasize the religious aspects of them).

Is this bigoted by defining "German" in an inherently racial, religious and exclusionary way? Yes, definitely. But it's not specifically antisemitic, regardless of whether antisemitism plays an additional part in this instance. And it's very hard to prove as discrimination in a courtroom, especially if you can't demonstrate the specifically antisemitic aspect.
Commands, not numbers. (what is the equivalent of +/- or 1/x?) Algebraic calculators don't have a lot of useful information to display when used properly, maybe the contents of memory registers but not much else. The screen estate can be used for anything, might as well be a cheatsheet.

> where you have to move your hands off the keyboard and move your mouse to press a button

Command cheatsheet, not number cheatsheet obviously (doubling as input won't hurt). Having numbers on it is excessive, as I already said Qalculate does it the weird way.
