Good point on minority being heard. (Really though: "Reddit" doesn't leave minorities heard?)

But also we don't use solid rules because we never need to come to a conclusion. Or rather any sub-group online feels free to claim its own conclusion; feels free to ignore most of the conversation; is entitled to run under a BDFL (benevolent dictator for life); etc. And there's no doubt the BDFL concept helps cut down on rules of order...
I can't help you on the job front, but I found this site a long time ago (I think also on HN) and I've always thought that if I was in your position it would be important to me: https://efficiencyiseverything.com/

They originally got fame because they were grad students trying to live off of tiny wages, so they calculated the most efficient foods in terms of calories per dollar. They have expanded since then, but the basic concept is still there.

It's incredibly inappropriate in a resume.
Callbacks haven't been an issue and this resume has historically served me well. I've made edits to it, though, based on yours and other suggestions. I appreciate it.
I like how we all now know that microplastics and PFAS seriously contaminate our water sources, but there's no real thought about things like nanotubes doing the same thing. Wonder what consuming carbon nanotubes might do to us.
Sorry, I used 'shitting on' figuratively to mean 'disrespecting' and 'denigrating'.

In the linked bodycam video, the MPD officers involved banter about 'needing to spit' when the community engagement officer goes by, and also appear to be partaking in a game where anyone who actually says the officer's name (Dubuc) is subject to mock punishment.

Honestly it's pretty juvenile. It's possible that this is part of a healthy culture somehow (like, I can jump through enough mental hoops to make that happen), but it's almost certainly not part of healthy culture.
I tried to use htmx but the client side templates extension (allowing you to transform json into html client side using a template) doesn't support json arrays.

Maybe I don't understand the right way of doing things with htmx, but returning large amounts of html seemed like it's a waste of bandwidth to me. That said, I appreciate htmx not having a build step. Even tailwind gets annoying to me.

I can empathize with your plight. Keep going. It sounds like contracting for a while is a good next step, or perhaps a very early stage startup. I hate to encourage you to mask yourself, but in the job market that is the way it goes.

A recruiter could be an excellent ally for you.
That's fair, although it gets complicated to work out numbers because we don't train many LLMs, whereas we're constantly training humans, each of whom cost the planet tons of CO2 emissions every year... and, of course, your point that LLMs just aren't very good yet. I fear that they're good enough (or appear to be to the layperson) that execs will replace customer support staff with them, even if the outcomes overall aren't as good.

I'm not as fearful. When customer support gets too expensive companies already outsource it to India. Indian customer support workers cost far less than Westerners in terms of energy and CO2 emissions, both in terms of training and ongoing costs. India is about 2T/person in CO2 emissions, compared to 15T for North Americans. And that number is averaged over the whole country. I would imagine the poorer areas of the country have much lower emissions and the bulk of CO2 comes from the wealthier big cities.

Yes. When I open some old style forums (say https://forum.obsidian.md/t/todays-date-are-not-following-th...) I feel that that format is friendly, cozy, small world, old web feel, we lost something, etc.

Can you give a couple of examples where you want False for an empty all? I'd be interested to see them, as I've found I always want True.
Right, I could have stated more explicitly. Watering possibly edible plants with pathogen polluted water seems okay. Watering them with chemically polluted water seems like maybe a way to ingest toxic stuff. Washing dishes seems dicey too.
Upgrading JS dependencies is a nightmare. That includes build/dev dependencies.

Part of my job is to maintain more than 50 web projects. That includes streamlining, refactoring, upgrading, optimization etc. Some of them are a decade old.

The most painful and time consuming part is dealing with JS issues.

To anyone reading this: cut the fat and do it early. A little bit of perceived “DX” is not worth writing “npm install”.

Just write the code that needs to be written in a straight forward manner. Lean on standards and don’t get distracted by fads. Prioritize stability.

Use libraries that do so as well.

Seems quite clear when presented that way. Same with `any`.

If `all` were in Python v1 it would have thrown an exception when called with an empty list. (Said jokingly, or is it?)
As someone who lives in an obscure part of the country, almost all of our radio stations come out of the same building which has maybe one actual on-air personality for the ~7 stations broadcasting. What makes our stations "local" is the extensive advertising.

This is simply not true. There is no secret in this sauce any more. Sure, you would need to relearn how to actually do some things, but the recipes are all there, well documented. Not quite youtube tutorials but we have videos.

This is not a hypothetical. We tested this[1] and it matches my expectations (I studied physics).

> Dropbox prices are pretty good. I was looking at even AWS s3 _glacier_ and it seems way more expensive.

I'm not sure what you mean?

Unless you're grandfathered in, the new limit is 5TB for $24 and glacier would be $5 plus bandwidth fees.

And as just one example for competitors, Hetzner offers 5TB of nextcloud for €17 and 5TB of storage for €13.

If you're talking about the 35TB limit, yeah that's a great deal and nobody can have it any more. The larger users were subsidized by the smaller users, which is a delicate balance.
To be more accurate, 5 i the only known odd untouchable. It’s believed it’s the only odd untouchable, but, like the Goldbach conjecture, it remains likely but unproven.
> Conservative party under Sunak has turned deep into far-right corner of the politics.

Go to a far-right corner of the web, and ask how they feel about mass surveillance and privacy rights.

Edit: I did it for you. On https://www.stormfront.org/forum/t1388551/ , of the 17 posts in that thread, not one was in favor of surveillance. Not even with a "but it's okay for the blacks" disclaimer.

In fact, here's a less-discussed thread specifically on immigrants privacy, and the literal white supremacists at stormfront are still against surveillance: Homeland Security Want to Collect Immigrants’ Social Media Information, But Privacy Groups Are Fighting Back - https://www.stormfront.org/forum/t1225961/

OK, so this is one of those things where the query first goes to some kind of lookup system, and you get back something which is fed into the LLM as part of the prompt.

Is the lookup running locally (not on OpenAI)? Can you look at the output of the lookup to see what hopefully relevant info it is throwing into the LLM? Can you use this with some local open-source LLM system?
The fact that police can access a private database to circumvent warrants also helps create a perverse feedback loop from within the public sector side as well, I promise.

I can't recommend the Zettlekasten Method enough: https://zettelkasten.de/introduction/

You can do it with index cards or you can use software to practice the method and grow your note collection. I now prefer Zettlr (https://www.zettlr.com) after using Joplin (https://joplinapp.org), which are both FOSS.

One of the core strategies of the Zettlekasten Method is to link notes to each other. That's how knowledge grows: connections and synthesis (internalization/application of the connections)

Here's a 3-year-old video on the method that serves as a good primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFZHuWLA09M
Very cool. I really enjoy people who don't start out as programmers but at some point in their life "see the light" and get into because of excitement.
Unlimited within reason. That kind of technical nitpicking the same tactic crytobros use when they power their rigs with residential power included in their leases.

Dropbox probably tunes their systems to loads and access patterns seen in normal documents-based business usage. Not for backing CDN services and such.
That's literally one of my personal goals - to open up the libraries so that new and beautiful things can be built on top of it without having to reinvent the wheel. You will see it being part of the manifesto which says:

For anyone interested, the problem mostly boils down to the sequence lenght we can read.

Modern sequencing techniques allow us o read 200 to 500 bases at a time. So after hat we need do find a way o arrange these short sequences into a single sequence. And this can be prety hard, especially when you are doing 'de novo' assembly[0].

Besides that, there is the fact that some regions of DNA are repeated[1].

Lots of rural houses have septic tanks. If you have a large tank relative to number of people living there, and the right biological additives, you can go without pumping it for 10-25 years -- in which time, the prepper will have failed in other ways.

It used to say "to us" meaning us humans. PFAS is potentially also a danger to the other nature ecosystems.

> In fact, run time dependencies will often have _higher_ levels of privilege (e.g. access to production data sets). If you can't trust the dependency at build time, you sure as hell shouldn't trust it at run time.

The threat model with build-time exploitation and run-time exploitation is different, but in the general case, I'd rate build-time higher than run-time, because at build time you have access to the entire developer machine, including the ability to have run-time impacts on every projets the dev has access to (including ones that are more critical than the first one to be corrupted) or allows to impersonate the developer themselves in social engineering attacks against the company's management for instance.

Scientific theories are usually advanced by finding and then explaining misaligments between existing theories and data...that's how physics works. Scientific theories can often predict future, yet unmeasured data that would not fit other competing theories. This is exactly what occurred with the measure of anisotropies in the CMB. Dark matter models correctly predicted the form of anisotropies in the CMB. MOND theories did not.

Additionally, while the various dark matter theories have the problem of being self consistent and consistent with current observations, but extremely difficult to experimentally confirmed, MOND theories have the issues of not being self consistent and/or not being consistent with current observations.

And yes, the newer MOND theories add additional fields to account for CMD anisotropies:

https://phys.org/news/2021-10-mond-theory-account-cosmic-mic...

"The new model begins by using the original MOND idea of two types of fields that behave together as a type of gravitational force—one is scalar, the other vector-based. Next, the researchers added parameters that suggested gravity-modifying fields generated in the early universe—ones that mimicked dark matter. These fields, they further suggest, evolved over time until they became the type of force described by the original MOND model."

And no, Einstein did not discuss dark energy. A cosmological constant is the most well accepted explanation of dark energy. And Einstein did not add the cosmological constant to his equations because of any cosmological observations, merely his own assumptions as to the structure of the universe.

They didn't. They called it "Dropbox Advanced for businesses" and whenever they mention storage it's always in the context of it being for team collaboration or documents.

I’d be happy to help you revise your resume. You’ve clearly done some great work, but like me, you’re “weird”. Unlike me, you’re comfortable with people knowing it. Haha.

I’m not too bad at concealing this stuff and promoting the good parts after a bit of practice. Let me know if you’d like a review and some advice.

The reality is that us neurodivergents are lucky if we find work where people accept us, and sometimes we have to suck it up and conform effectively in order to make a living. If most teams I’ve been on knew the real me, well, they’d find a way to disappear me pretty quickly. Sometimes you don’t want people to know the real you. That’s not an insult at all so much as an observation of how things go.

> If your iphone 12 mini breaks in ~2 years from now probably will be cheaper to buy just working second hand iphone 12 mini.

yes, this is a general problem with all repair. n=1 repairs are very expensive in terms of labor and logistics. making a million pixel phones in a factory is cheap, mailing someone a camera board and having a technician disassemble the phone and solder a part and re-seal the phone for waterproofing is very time-consuming.

if repairs are only financially viable by using knockoff parts with inferior quality, that's a problem, that's a market failure.

easy answer is tax new devices heavily so that repairing a device is relatively more attractive. but I think people won't like the idea of 50-100% tax on new devices.

there's always a price for your morals - nobody is buying a new phone at $100k tax per phone, and would not support such legislation. now we are just haggling over the price.
None at this time, but until the advent of modern cryptography, the same was true of primality. Then again, other mathematical curiosities retain their lack of application (and some of us prefer that).

Ask HN: What have y'all done with your old MBP?
I have an old MBP from 2010. I considered selling but I don't think anybody will buy this old box. And the amount I'd get is barely worth the trouble.

So I was wondering if I should do something fun/useful with it and wanted to check if anybody had ideas.
I was in a position like this after college and moving to another state with a gf (soon became an exGF).

If you are really down to $16, you are in a dire situation.

I don't know where your family is, but you basically need to move in with them if your legal situation allows. Having $16 while living with family is basically a non issue. They'll feed you and make you get up in the morning.

Being down to $16 on your own is life threatening.

Get back home to family of some sort.

Getting work on up work isn't as easy as it sounds IMO.

When this happened to me at 24, I got a job in car sales even though I had a mechanical engineering degree. I made $8k the first month. $12k the second. 6 months in I had a pipeline and it figured out and averaged $18k a month for a few years. It saved me.

Personally I think the advice for going independent and doing contract work is your best bet, but I think you may be out of funds and time to do that even.
You either need family or friends to lend you money, or move back in with family. Moving in with a friend won't cut it, because they aren't as happy to feed you.
I understand why it's tempting to buy into this narrative but it is just not the case.

Aside from the fact that IBM had no involvement in the recent decision relating to git.centos.org (if I remember correctly, IBM found out about it when it was publicly announced), IBM has had basically zero influence on any aspect of Red Hat open source development or project or product licensing policy.

On the other hand, Red Hat has had some limited influence on IBM's open source practices. For example, IBM has moved away from using CLAs for its open source projects, I believe mainly out of a desire to follow Red Hat's example. I'm not aware of any use of copyright assignment by IBM projects.
