I'm a software engineer with 9+ years of experience. I love building frontend applications while also getting my hands dirty with complex cloud solutions & APIs. I understand scaling challenges and have worked in environments where our solutions served millions of customers. Latest projects: E-Commerce, Master Data Management & real estate.

I'm looking to work as a long-term team member heavily invested in the problems your company needs to solve.

So you're upset that people who didn't bother to form a union are being mistreated, while those who did form a union are doing better? And you appear to want sympathy? Wow. HN really is the best site on the Internet for unintentional comedy.

I remember trying to organize Bay Area tech workers in the '90s. Y'all were not receptive at all. The attitude seemed to be that tech workers are too precious for a union. Those were for garbagemen, not professionals.

Enjoy your working conditions. It's nice when results are proportional to effort.

The English Bridge Union has introduced a National Grading Scheme as a supplement/replacement for master points, for exactly the reasons you suggest. It's got its idiosyncrasies, but it's a lot better than the old "number goes up".

Exactly. I wanted to code an emulator and said "why not rust". Then I met the BC and pulled hairs for 3 months. After that "honeymoon" with rust, I got to think the b.c. way and my life became just much better. No regret so far. And I even use egui which is very nice to work with.

Until I have to share a linked list between different things... But that's another story.
> An insane programmer can set LMUL to a value higher than 1, making vector instructions address contiguous blocks of registers.

I hope that most code won't use LMUL=1, but LMUL>=1 when possible, otherwise we'd leave performance on the table.

The only case I can currently fore see where using LMUL=1 and manually unrolling instead will likely be always beneficial is vrgather operations that don't need to cross between registers in a register group (e.g. byte swapping).

> As with all new architectural features, we’ll have to wait and see how useful RISC-V’s LMUL will be.

RVV without LMUL would be a lot worse, the entire extension is build around the LMUL concept and it's really nice to work with imo.

Your comment left me thinking, so I went to double-check the meaning of the word evidence in a dictionary (after all, I'm not a native English speaker). I found this one as the first entry: "the facts, signs or objects that make you believe that something is true" (source: https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/englis...). This is exactly the sense in which I'm using the word. What do you mean by saying it erodes language? Or do you use the word evidence in another sense than this dictionary?

PS: not meaning to start a flamewar or engage in endless discussion, I just want to understand your point ;)

My point is Europe produces its own high-quality meat, at a price we can afford. It's not consumers pushing for this trade deal, it's the wealthy capital-owners who stand to make a large profit at the expense of the environment.

Food etc. being 2x to 4x more expensive here isn't a problem. You see from the last section of your table that salaries are 900% higher too.

I’m so tired of this number being thrown around. R&D costs aren’t losses. Ford expects their EV division to be net positive by 2025.

Tesla started in 2003 and wasn’t profitable until 2020. Only now when Ford takes a couple years to recoup their R&D on a brand new fledgling platform do people loose their minds and only then try their best to compare them to current Tesla who was hemorrhaging billions year after year for nearly two decades.

Rivian is operating at a loss. Lucid is loosing $500k per car. GE says they’re going to loose money on their EV division until 2025.

All the car companies are playing catch up. Ford and Chevy taking a couple years to do what Tesla did in 20 isn’t the bellwether for Tesla people use it as.

The other boutiques on the other hand - I really don’t know how they’re going to survive once legacy manufacturers really ramp up and start doing more vertical integration and write better software.

I worked for 14 years, coding almost every day, before I started feeling pain in my arms. Took quite a while to get better. Not saying it will happen to you (people are different), but in my case I think the problems built up over years of working with poor ergonomics. My best advice is to take it seriously if you do start feeling any pain.

WW-I was a huge event in the history of this world, and it is a pretty clear divider between those two styles of art and architecture.

I wouldn't call pre-WWI and post-WWI "roughly the same time period". Not by a long stretch.

The length of time between them is not relevant in this case. What is relevant is the events that occurred between them.

Like the pre-atomic age and the post-atomic age. The events themselves in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were relatively short-lived. But their impact on this world greatly exceeded the time immediately before those two events and the time immediately after those events.

Because it is easier to reason about languages with formal syntax and semantics. Most languages used in industry are a hodge podge of syntax and semantics with so many edge cases that even seasoned programmers will often end up writing bugs which take them days to track down.

Ask HN: Any tools or frameworks to monitor the usage of OpenAI API keys?
I am currently developing an application using OpenAI, and have created distinct API keys to accommodate varying scenarios.

Do you know any tools or frameworks specifically for controlling or monitoring the usage of these different API keys?

Google and Bing both changed their emphasis to finding things within an image rather than trying to find similar images. But one is not a substitute for the other.

Maybe laptop and tiny screen is pleasurable to them? I’m currently on a big 4K monitor with external keyboard and all that and I’ll probably go back coding on a laptop because for some reason the more compact experience is a lot more enjoyable for me. We’re all different after all and that’s ok

How apart a gunshot/impulse sound detector to match my sound localization platform that is almost ready for release (Within a month - https://github.com/hcfman/sbts-aru)

The idea is to write a pipeline that can determine the start time of an impulse sound, typically gunshot, that can be carried out on a raspberry pi platform. The sounds recording and highly accurate registration part is done with my platform. If this next part is done then the final stage would be to send this time to a central server to align with 3x other devices and which if also received then calculates the co-ordinates from where the gunshot came from and mails out alerts/map links. This is then used to counter poaching.

Not an expert, but what I'm understanding is this:

With a regular simulation, whether analogue or digital, you create a mathematical model, and evaluate that model in some way to get a result, which hopefully matches the actual phenomena in whatever it is you were trying to simulate.

Here, it's more like instead of measuring the phenomena, they instead measured something that is physically related to that phenomena. There seems to be no modelling involved.

No, it's not a "clear divider" between the two. It was more of a slow transition between Art Deco and Art Nouveau, which as I already stated, overlapped for nearly a decade.

This is all pretty clearly laid out in the historical literature that you yourself linked to. You don't seem to understand how art movements work; there is not a firm dividing line when one ends and the next begins.

Beyond that, the question was about why people mix the two. Your nit-picking about how we should divide history is irrelevant to the discussion.
It’s useful to talk about representation though. Especially in a language that nudges you away from absolute references towards relative, self managed ones.

A quite clever representation of a tree that I read about is to store nodes in DFS order in a flat array. Given that it’s read only and the readers want to traverse it depth first anyway, this can be quite efficient. S-expressions and HTML come to mind.
You cherry picked those specific examples yourself!

Floating WMs also exist, and all kind of unergonomic setups exists, I'm just questioning your reasoning.
They used to. When I first started in the games industry the creators got a significant royalty. But back then it might have been one primary creator who probably did a lot of the dev as well.
> Arc/Rc the hell out of it...

Ooof, and now were back to what's a fundamental problem in a lot of "traditional" C++ game code bases I've seen (including my own stuff I wrote in the late 90's to early 2010's).

Refcounting overhead cannot be ignored when performance matters, and since refcounting usually 'infects' the entire code base, it's impossible to fix once it becomes a performance problem - because then it's too late since it would mean rewriting everything from scratch with a new approach to lifetime management.
Kudos for doing that!

And I agree on the concentration camp visit, even if I'd say those places are even worse than military cemiteries. I only visited on so far, and that pretty recently, Dachau. Quite sobbering experience, and I only looked into the crematorium from the outside. And then you realize that Dachau was one of the better and less cruel camps the Nazis ran...

And yes, the right became what they fought: they supported the fight against the Nazis and oppossed the communist Soviets. Now they are supporting borderline fascist policies and Russia, oppose NATO (there are tons of stuff NATO did that deserve being opposed, but thise are not a problem for the right), and accept support from Putin...

My grandparents, both sides, lived actively through WW2 (soldiers, nurses and just young women teying to get along) in Germany. They never really talked about it, but it marked them. I never met my great-grand father who survived Verdun and some gas attacks in WW1 so. Overall, this period is still much closer than we think, too close maybe to be sure that we actually really passed it and wont go down that specific rabbit hole again.

I am not surprised at all. All major tech companies are at an arms race at the moment. Everyone wants to create the new thing and AI is the hip thing right now, with good reason.

The fact is that language is itself not symmetrical (consider 5 major vowels vs 21 consonants and semivowels), so really a better solution is to use a keyboard layout that is optimized to fit a physical arrangement of keys. (Side note: I’ve spent the last three years critically thinking about, learning, and designing a few handfuls of keyboard layouts and keyboard layout analyzers/generators. At the moment, the layouts which works best for me are MTGAP and Graphite, both of which work really well in both an ortholinear and rowstagger configuration. (I also used Dvorak for 15 years prior to switching). Though, the layout iceberg goes pretty deep, so if you don’t like the layouts I mention, there are tons of other layouts to pick from).

The only reason I bring up `in` and ignore the rest of the keyboard is because `in` is right up there with `th` in terms of frequency. Worsening it has a significant and noticeable effect IMO. Though, I could also point to another reason which might make ortholinear not ideal for some people. Consider the left middle finger column on qwerty: EDC. E is simultaneously the most common letter, and also combines with basically every other letter (consider typing `decided`). It’s very common for qwerty typists to use alternative fingerings to avoid the same finger sequences. Commonly you’ll see index finger used for D and C. An ortholinear layout used with qwerty moves D and C further away from the index finger, making the alternate fingerings more difficult/cramped/impossible.

Tangentially, something I think works in the glove80’s favor however is the scooped design. While `in` is pushed further apart, I imagine that the curvature of the keyboard in utilizing the 3rd dimension helps reduce this distance somewhat.

EDIT: Here’s a video demonstrating someone using an ortholinear keyboard with qwerty at an impressive 170+ wpm: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HHFK-GbECWA Note, my comments above have to do with ergonomics. At the end of the day, ~~honey badger don’t care~~ people adapt, and can sometimes get incredibly efficient using tools with dubious ergonomic value. Compare that video with my own using MTGAP and you can immediately see a difference in finger movement: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Msebf_zNaxY
