If someone really can't do that, then either they don't know how to count (very unlikely), they didn't understand the question, or they are really bad at translating what they would do on paper into a program. All disqualifying.

Another possibility is nerves. Early in my career I was very nervous in interviews and I have sympathy. I have fucked up the most basic search algorithms completely and spewed gibberish when asked to explain the complexity of my solution.

I have sympathy for that, but the only way to get through interview nerves is exposure therapy. At least in my experience.
They’re right, and if only American adults could properly understand and contextualize what every other company in algorithm-driven media and behavioral advertising does, in terms of abusing personal data and manipulating attention, we would have the good sense to ban all of it.

> Have you seen these dehumidifiers? Stop using them or you might die.

I always think this is a funny way to word it. I mean, you're going to die either way. At the most, stopping using them might push it back further. But a car crash might even the playing field too. I think implicitly accepting language like this often indicates that a person isn't accepting the fact of the bigger picture.
While I reject your condescending tone, locking the overheads is possibly a good idea but requires major equipment upgrades.

I do not believe locking mechanisms in the overhead compartments are currently installed.

Controls to instantly lock/unlock such systems remotely by one attendant, thousands of times, reliably, is yet another challenge. Better to engineer a solution that requires no new equipment.
I mean, that was the plan back with China, back in the later decades of the last century. Clearly it didn't work.

Either way, the issue at hand is whether or not US citizens/residents should be allowed to see certain things that come out of China, not whether or not we can and should be able to spread our ideals to China.
Would it be easier for the US govt to "throw the smackdown on" FB or Tiktok? Nobody is even talking about banning FB, despite the known bad shit we know about it. Half of US adults would ban TikTok goes to show how much more accountable TikTok is than FB. Zuckerberg/FB has spent millions buying political favor. There is no way the Chinese ownership of TikTok has anywhere the kind of political access and influence of Zuck/FB.

> That… is state, just stored elsewhere.

The state is stored in the resources themselves, to be precise.

> It’s also not usable for lots of important parts of AWS, which does not have consistent tagging support and would leave you running very much foul of API rate limits.

As someone who worked on tagging inside AWS, I don't believe that there are any major AWS services left that don't support tagging. These days, tagging-on-creation also guarantees that you won't have untagged resources if your provider happens to die between "CreateResource" and the "TagResource" operations.

You can also sometimes use prefixed names to signal that a resource belongs to the infrastructure-as-code.

API limits for "describe" calls are also pretty lax. And you need to use them anyway to check if the current state of the world matches with the saved state.

State will be needed for some integrations that don't support tagging/naming (Okta, I'm looking at YOU!), but at least for AWS it's not needed.
I quoted evidence that they already worked with other governments. It is you who has no evidence that the statement by the Iraq Government is false.

Ask HN: Best “Get started with <API/SDK/ >” guides
Hello HN,

What are the best "Get started with..." dev guides?
Did any of them leave you a mental "afterimage" (you can't forget them) ever?

For example:

- Stripe: Get started: https://stripe.com/docs/development/get-started

- Vercel: Get started:
https://vercel.com/docs/getting-started-with-vercel

- Supabase: Get started: https://supabase.com/docs/guides/getting-started

These are just some examples, not necessarily the best, definitely good enough!

What about you? What can you not UNSEE because it was so good?
TikTok panic is the new satanic panic. If you did this same poll back in the 80s, you would have seen similar support for banning MTV and heavy metal music. Except, now the government and their organs are actively trying to stoke this panic and it has undertones of Asian hate.

I didn't really grok cryptography until I used this:

https://inventwithpython.com/cracking/chapter5.html

Part of it was bad teaching -- same lessons over and over til you're exhausted doing ROT13, it's better to do one exercise on paper and have it be the Vigenère cipher or by the time you're covering something beyond the Ovaltine cipher the campers will be too tired to learn.

People focus too much on busywork in these classes, when modern analysis will be done using a computer. Maybe in a SCIF, but... there will be a computer involved.

A few scripts to easily brute force weird shit you find on other people's machines can be useful, or so I've heard -- also who calls it a "kaiser cipher"? Tell me that and I can tell you the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything.
Why does that sound like a reasonable thing to you?

To me, a 16 kid daycare also seems tiny.
Exactly. It's never getting fixed, it'd break backwards compatibility now!

It's especially frustrating because it means you can't simply back up your entire `~/.config` (or wherever you pointed your `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}`), you have to pick specific files & folders in there.
To answer my own question, I am working on setting up a server with openSUSE Leap as the underlying OS. It's using BTRFS on top of hardware RAID 5 (with 8x 4 TB disks, giving me 28 TB total - ample storage for anything I'll ever throw at it). I'm trying to figure out DDNS with Porkbun, and I plan to use nginx-proxy-manager to handle mapping apps to subdomains.

My planned software deployment is currently up in the air; I know I'll be deploying Nextcloud, but I am also considering installing the following (some are suggestions from my friends who are in this with me rather than my own):

- Stable Diffusion (I'll need a GPU to do this)
- Self-hosted LLM with Llama 2 (I have yet to figure out what is a good selfhosted web UI for this)
- Minecraft/Minetest server
- Matrix
- Bitwarden/Vaultwarden
- AnonAddy

There are probably other apps that I'll eventually install on the server that I haven't discovered yet :)

I also am hoping to get a backup solution in place, but plans for that are currently pretty nebulous. I do have a really cool idea that I need to look into though.
I think programming language standards committees are not an unlikely venue for hot conflict, quite the opposite if you talk just about conflict without the word "hot". I don't have the background on this one though.

Do you have any experience reaching to similar organizations? for example reporting compiler or linker bugs or trying to get support for new features or platform that are not well documented? If you don't and think it sounds fun go ahead and have fun if you can do that work without getting dragged into hot conflict.
sorry; you do you. I just couldn't help it :p
> What does it say about society...

"Society" is a lie that was invented by corrupted old people in order to extract things from young people in a parasitic manner, by making young people work for them (labour, taxes, rent, you name it), take care of them, be abused by them, fuck them, go die in a war for them, and finally now literally give their blood to be sucked.

"Society" and every derivative from that myth are lies created for the purpose above. Some never understand the scam, most strive to themselves trade their position of host to a position of beneficiary. Very few try to reject the abuse.

It is no coincidence that every single political ideology, economic system and organized religion are built to transfer from the young to the old.
I assumed the long essays were for SEO (inflates the amount of cooking-related keywords). Which would make it kind of ironic that another Google product is now stripping the SEO content back out.

Leetcode is simply testing whether you studied Computer Science, took Data Structures & Algorithms course, and read the CLR book on algos and practices it. Nothing else. This is really freshman level cs work. very simple.

people who cannot leetcode - a simple data structures & algorithms inteview - cannot understand runtime nuances of what they write.

This is how you end up with N+1 algorithms and exponential runtime.

For example look at all modern front-end in javascript - usually leetcode is more relaxed for front end, and you end up with ungodly gobbles of unnecessary loops inside loops wrapped in loops that traverse DOM for no good reason and freeze the browser.

it is the javascript people who import node libraries that contain 3 lines of code, instead of writing it properly

Let that sink in (ugh) for a while. The Vredefort impact was so long ago, it's almost completely eroded away today. And yet, when it occurred the Hadean Eon was as ancient then as the Vredefort is to us today. The mind boggles.

Oh, I'm sure the insurance company will cut them a check tomorrow for the full replacement value of their home, and the day after that it will be fully constructed and ready for move-in, and people won't be paying for hotel stays long after emergency funds run out. I guess they're not "forced to sell" if they have a 12-18 month safety net sufficient to cover alternative accommodation with very little demand.

No, nobody put a gun to their head. But this is a little black and white, no?

> If newer advances can’t make it cost competitive

Did they ever get rid of the rule that prohibits nuclear from being cost competitive? Its opponents got it so if they ever found a way to make it cost less the money explicitly had to be spent on new safety measures. Which obviously not only makes it impossible to reduce the cost but also removes any incentive to try.

So basically you are billed for about 1000kWh/month? That's not a small amount, unless you charge an EV at home (in which case it is not much at all).

I would put a KillAWatt on the big consumers first, and run for a week. Then continue with the mid-consumers for a week, if it still doesn't add up.
The real question is, how do any of these companies (payment service providers) get to be worth more than a few billion? It's obviously an extremely low margin commodity business in the long run; this miss is only the beginning.
That is eerily similar to what happened to us in IBM "Cloud", in a previous gig. An engineer was doing "account cleanup" and somehow our account got on the list and all our resources were blown away.
The most interesting conversation was convincing the support person, that those deletion audit events were in fact not us, but rather (according to the engineer's Linked-In page) an SRE at IBM.
It's contained in a single home which, presumably, the owners still live in. In terms of traffic, you're looking at an extra ~32 cars/day which is likely a rounding error in terms of total traffic.

One story I heard was about Compaq and how their early PCs were over-engineered.

The floppy drives of early Compaq PCs were rated/tested for a really high number of insertions/ejections. You'd have to be doing nothing BUT inserting/ejecting floppies 24/7 to even get close to the rated limit.

Some beancounter at Compaq realizes they're overpaying. They lower the rated limit of insertions/ejections by a couple orders of magnitude and let the savings flow through to the profit line with the customer none the wiser. Didn't help against Dell and the other cheaper PC manufacturers though.
To me, this is the most realistic comment in this entire thread. I've thought a lot about this and it's what I've settled on, for the most part.

That we aren't trying to prevent this, in a substantial way, is shocking to me.
You can tell this is satire by the fact that it is a manifesto, it is a literary form only used by the other side, we yolo'er don't have time for those.

Ask HN: What are some quality of life patterns you develop into your projects?
So what are somethings you have built solely for QoL? In my past I've:

- built a nice debugging log system

- have some boiler plate scripts that setup everything
- developed the SQL scripts for creating a local copy of a db in a particular state
- a controlable caching system for local development
The point is not whether an applicant can or cannot do it, the point is that the question is deliberately rephrasing to obscure a candidates understanding. If you ask your average candidate to do that in laymans terms or they were given 5 seconds to google this would be a trivial task and you would have a different outcome. All this selects for is the candidate to have a working definition of an ascii decimal string in their head, it represents no ability to problem solve whatsoever.

Unless I'm mistaken, it's not 1% of the American population that has brain cancer. It's that each individual has less than a 1% chance of developing brain cancer. So, if this figure of less than 1% is in fact on the order of 0.5%, a 60% increase in this figure would take it to 0.8%.

Yup, watch videos of actual missile launches--the missile descends below the plane that fired it. Can't do that on the ground, although you won't blow up your base because the weapon will not have armed by the time it goes splat.
Probably not what the parent poster was talking about, but fear is a great inhibitor. Excessively high standards for documentation and depth of scope might inhibit less experienced engineers, and nitpicking about scope is a pointless waste of time that ends up being a managerial excuse for more meetings especially if it's brought up endlessly when the core feature does not yet work. This promotes a culture of fear which can paralyze a team of engineers and all you end up getting out of them is the bare minimum.

Or something like that.

I’m a huge fan of the traditional liberal arts education. I recognize that it is not necessarily a direct pipeline to the needs of a modern, post-industrial economy, but the depth and breadth of the topics that I was able to study during my fairly unstructured liberal arts undergrad degree gave me a terrifically useful toolkit for assessing and analyzing the world. If nothing else, I’m fairly good at knowing what I don’t know, and hey - that’s half the battle sometimes.

It pains me to see world languages being completely culled. I readily grant that a German or French major is probably not terribly useful in these days of machine translation and English basically occupying lingua franca status, but learning another language truly does teach new modes of thought.

It sucks immensely that universities are larding up on administrations and cutting programs like this which, impractical or non-commerical they may be, are pretty much the reason for the existence of universities!

In conclusion, I blame Margaret Thatcher.
