Ask HN: Did the CAPM certification help you land a job?
CAPM stands for Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM).

It is done by the Project Management Institute (PMI) -- the same folks who do the PMP certification, the PMP-ACP (Agile) cert, etc.

The CAPM cert does not have the 'X hours/days/years of Project Management experience' work requirement.

Instead, it has some minimum project managment education experience requirement -- something like that -- so even a non-project manager can get this particular certification -- though you might have to take an online course or similar.

Also, curious if you learned anything useful, especially if you have project management experience.
The only way you get Hack on that list of languages is that they had a policy of letting lead engineers starting a project to choose the language at will, and they hired enough lead engineers who previously worked at FB/Meta.

Something that stands out to me from this talk is the idea of linearizing ASTs—I was reminded of Aaron Hsu's work on Co dfns.

Better than cutting edge semiconductor fabs? Why would LCDs need such cleanroom facilities?
None of them are. There’s no way you could make money doing that in the VPS market especially with the ludicrous bandwidth costs at AWS.

Most VPS providers rent rack space at large colocation facilities in multiple cities. In some cases they locate right next to major peering points for very good peering and very cheap bandwidth.

Vultr in particular is massively underrated and is certainly good enough to use in production.

One caveat though: most of these providers don’t handle sanitization of storage or encryption at rest as thoroughly as the big clouds do. I’d recommend handling your own encryption at rest with these if you have sensitive data. See: Vault, LUKS, etc.

This is technically true, but only because it implies the word "same" before broadcast too.

Regional ads injected into the ad slots were definitely a thing with TV already back in ~2005. So households getting their signal from the same transmitter got the same ads, but just a few kilometres away you could see entirely different ads during the advertising break.

Brits don't want quietness. Instead they go to Germany and drink until they can't stand upright - and then continue to drink until they pass out.

> These damn animations man... they're so fluid and springy and easy to use in SwiftUI, that it lures you into adding them everywhere.

The constant animations are what makes me dread and despise working with Apple software. Each time something moves for no good reason whatsoever, I die inside a little. Every few seconds.

> [...] the same animation was driving me nuts because I was switching spaces so often, that the animation was slowing me down

Exactly. Props to the author for making them possible to turn off. The operating system at large still has _tons_ of them that you can't get rid of, but it's the thought that counts.

> Reacting to keyboard events is still something I do outside of SwiftUI

SwiftUI is a nice idea in principle, what with being reactive, but I found that I cannot achieve anything worthwhile without piercing down into the lower layer of AppKit. And then I asked myself why do this clownery in the first place.

Ultimately, trying to learn Apple frameworks has made me love GTK+, because it's so beautiful and elegant in comparison (disregarding that it's currently deeply broken on macOS).

Im using it for a highly multithreaded real time web app. Also i disagree with your assessment, i think rust can really be used for everything.

For the business im building the frontend is written in js but everything on the backend is rust. i needed one highly multithreaded realtime server and rust was the right choice for that. For everything else (api, file server) I decided to just use rust too, maintaining a node backend and a rust backend and having to deal with typescript build systems when i could just use rust for everything made my life easier.

What ive found is that open source authors interested in releasing libraries in python and nodejs choose to write it once in rust then release python and js libraries using rust ffi.

See polars, yrs, rapierjs, lancedb, candle, etc.
That’s a simple question that’s hard to answer.

A slightly different question that’s a bit easier to answer: “if I could wave a magic wand and X million lines of code were instantly rewritten and all developers were instantly trained on that language”.

There the choice would be limited to languages that have similar or faster perf characteristics to Hack, without sacrificing developer productivity.

Rust is out of the question (compile times for hundreds of devs would instantly sap productivity). PHP, Ruby, Node and Python are too slow — for the moment at least.

So it would be either Hack or Go. I don’t know enough about JVM languages to know whether they would be a good fit.
I clipped a bicyclist once. He was riding on the wrong side of the road, along a chain link fence, and rode into the intersection after the light turned red. What would have prevented that was there was another car stopped at the light and when it turned green he didn't go. Today I would've slowed way down.

I find I spend an inordinate amount of time looking for bicycles. They're small, fast, and often not where they are supposed to be.

Also there is a lot of talk about cars but in my extended friends groups I know of a number of non-car related accidents. And a couple of cyclist hitting other cyclists. And I think we don't keep statistics on those.

My take is the system wasn't set up for bicycles and it'll take a lot of time and money to fix that.
Coalton has a lot of promise and looks really nice.

For the uninitiated, it's a functional language of the Lisp family, with a type system somewhat close to Haskell's (or a ML descendant) that lives *embedded* in Common Lisp.

The problem to me seems to be just how inconvenient it is to use, exactly because it's embedded in another language!

Being able to use SLIME is of course, very nice, but having to wrap every expression you enter in `(coalton ...)` is a pain... I know they're working to make that more convenient, can't wait to try it again once that's done!

EDIT: intro to the language for those interested: https://coalton-lang.github.io/20211010-introducing-coalton/

My intuition could be way off, but I think there's more than 10x more water (even at some ridiculously thin surface depth) between Korea and Japan than there is in the Fukushima tanks.

Wikipedia says 210 km³ flows into the Sea of Japan yearly. The article says the total stored water is "one million metric tons", which is... probably within the measurement error of the total SoJ flow.

The brilliance depends on whether it’s a scaled version of a Berkshire Hathaway like business, or some sort of reverse franchise. It sounds to me like the latter - a scheme to create captive customers for preferred source vendors who are close to the beneficial owners. This also sounds like medical consolidators like Schweiger dermatology who soak up independent dermatology practices. Similar models exist for dentists and attorneys as well.

I’m cynical because Buffet’s goal was very clear - he needs to generate cash flow forever to make more money. A venture capital entity has a different vision of success, which I can’t see being aligned with the “owners” of these companies.
> I liked that your could turn off the brightness entirely :(

Looking at the change, it seems the dbus method[1] to set brightness explicitly to a value should continue to work. A script could be assigned to the lower brightness key that uses this DBus API.

Alternatively, the same DBus API also provides a signal for whenever brightness changes, and an autostart script could be written to monitor for the value 1 and immediately set it to 0.

So, I just went ahead and tried it for a sample flight: a 1-way JFK-LAX-(SMF) DL305 departing at 5:00pm Aug 31st, Economy.

Skiplagged: $219.10 = $184.20 (ticket price) + $34.90 (Skiplagged Service Fee)

AA.com: $184.20 = $148.84 (base fare) + $35.36 (taxes, fees, charges)

So, honestly, that's kinda not cool from Skiplagged. They're basically charging you an extra $34.90 which goes to them, even though you can buy the exact same ticket on AA.com with minimal effort, but the checkout page doesn't show that.

I get that whoever made Skiplagged wants to profit out of it, but it does feel a little bit dishonest. I dislike subscriptions, but I think a per-month subscription access to their search-engine would "feel" better here, at least for me.

Indeed, for 20+ years of distributed data centers (remember AZs are generally separate DCs near a city but on different grids, regions are geographically disparate cities) we called it "shared nothing" architecture pattern.

I wanted to math this out.

East china sea: ~770,000 square km surface area; 350m average depth = 269,500,000,000 cubic meters of water

First discharge = 7,800 cubic meters over 17 days == approx. 459m^3 released / day == 1.70315399 x 10^-9

They might find five or six extra tritium atoms per liter of water.

Does this one off make it okay to dump into the ocean generally? No obviously not, the ocean is not just a magic dumpster to make bad things disappear. But in this case, tritium already exists naturally in sea water, and the introduced concentration has already been minimized.

If your personal heuristics for avoiding risk push you towards avoiding Japanese seafood over this, that's fine, but you should actually be avoiding all seafood.
It's not a problem, that's how you create software. You can put some of those initiatives on a "road map" if you want, but there must be space for them. 50% "slack time" is a good standard for software engineering. Your software engineers likely know better than your middle-managers how to spend that time.
for a cortex-m0 microcontroller it would be a big deal, but i think this chip is probably a 15-dollar 'microcontroller', and i'm pretty sure arm charges less for the cortex-m0

i'd say 'a few variants of gdvf103' amounts to a 'gd32vf' line, but they seem to no longer be produced. maybe you're right that they'll dip back in, especially as tensions continue to build over taiwan; i was enthusiastic to see the gd32vf though admittedly i haven't actually done anything with the ones i got

i agree that wch's ch32v line is extremely exciting, especially at the low end, where it reaches a 10¢ price point i've never before seen in 32-bit mcus (probably because arm's licensing fees are too high), and i should have mentioned it

i agree that risc-v has always led in 64-bit code density, and that with some extensions it beats thumb-2, but actually i think it was already kind of tied with thumb-2 on code density

i agree that risc-v compilers will probably eventually be better than arm compilers

but i also think that if your hardware budget includes enough ram and battery to run linux it's unlikely that issues like these will be very significant

this weekend i'm prototyping a jit compiler with the objective of keeping most of my code in a bytecode form that's denser than even thumb-2 or rv32c; i anticipate about 20% better code density and about a 2-4× slowdown, with on the order of 64 clocks per instruction of compilation time. i think this should mostly eliminate the rv64c code density advantage, which i agree is pretty killer. that's not why i'm doing it, of course (i love risc-v)

What mess? That sounds like a healthy internal language ecosystem to me. You need at least 2 primary languages to avoid accidental lock-in and maintain good developer diversity. That very paragraph is a great example of how the diversity helped them avoid the trap of plumbing it through their RPCs.

As I said, the word is doing most of the work of your argument. I can totally see someone saying the exact same thing you are, and then pointing to some throwaway article on some popular Android news site and calling it reputable - in an earlier comment you indicated that these reputable articles can be found by "searching", which with how search engines tend to work these days is like the exact opposite of reputable.
