I'm a Software Engineer with several years of experience in Front-End and Full Stack Development. Also run the organization TechIsHiring which promotes job opportunities and job seekers on Twitter and through a newsletter.
Is this just a US-American (or non-European) thing?

I don't think I've ever seen obviously fraudulent video advertisements in the UK or Germany. Video ads are generally video games, supermarkets or generic products (razors, personal hygiene, etc.)

Then again UK advertisements are a lot more heavily regulated than the USA, by the Advertising Standards Agency - https://www.asa.org.uk - they are actively targeting ads such as "clearly false or outlandish claims for products, for example that a device can save 90% on energy bills, or offering miracle cures".

I'm not sure of the situation in Germany, but I imagine something similar must exist.

However, I still see a lot of text-advertisements with a Mr Beast-style cartoon figure supposedly giving me $1000 for clicking a link, and a lot of distasteful-but-not-neccessarily-fraudulent ads such as dodgy online-dating.
Hey, computer, make me a font
Different people make different arguments. I am keeping my ICE vehicle because I drive dramatically less than the average person, so selling it and buying an EV means it ends up with someone who drives more.

That said, 1 person going from ICE to EV is better for the environment than 1 person going from EV to public transportation. Manufacturing and transporting gasoline produces roughly the same emissions as producing the electricity to charge an EV in the US.
And be able to explain why that must be true for schoolboy multiplication to work.

Come on, this argument is ridiculous. There was no golden age of mass mathematics education.
EVs probably produce more tire particulates but definitely make less brake dust, since most of the braking is regenerative. Not sure how that balances out in the grand scheme of things but it’s not a clear cut thing.
Where does the lender get this magic “get paid in full” option? Obviously if the lender has that option, they would take it. But they don’t. Even if they got a court order demanding wework pay out, that claim would get lumped in with all the other claims. You can’t just magically skip the line.
Happy to see a comment like this. One thing I'd add to the list is spaced repetition software for memory strengthening. When you have a moment, you can go over things and strengthen your own memory.

Is a spreadsheet even necessary on the go? Might be better to just have a calculator and store values in a text file?

Also, music? Or is this really a luxury? Truthfully I think yes. But maybe there are some "sound programs" which are "necessary" (like white noise generation)?

I'm sure a lot of us have had this line of thinking many times, but it'd be nice to have a discussion around it :)
With steam and proton why bother?
Anecdotal: I used Saxenda (Liraglutide), for about 4 months, and whilst I did lose about 20lbs the side effects I had were awful - really bad bloating, almost gastroparesis, erectile dysfunction (which I'm sure was due to trying to push more when on the toilet).

Even with fibre supplements I had to take stool softeners daily, bisacodyl fortnightly, and I just had an awful time on them.

I had passive suicidal ideation before I started taking it, I'm not sure if it got worse though although I did once move to the more active side.

Still - on a positive note - I did for once know what it was like to not feel hungry and to not think about food 24/7 as someone who has suffered from binge eating thanks to dopamine chasing adhd.
It seems they(Xilinx/AMD) might also have applied for a trademark, so I don't know if the name as used here will stick...

I found this lab tour with Ferenc Krausz himself to be a great introduction to the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZIUJb85BAQ
The orderbook class uses original strings received from the exchange as keys. However, in some places, numbers are compared with a precision of 1e-12 as long doubles. I plan to modify this to use the symbols' price step from exchangeInfo.
You can’t just get a legal order forcing a borrower to pay. A lender is at the mercy of a borrower’s willingness to repay unless the lender is willing to accept pennies on the dollar by forcing the borrower into bankruptcy.
> This is basically the only thing IPFS offers that Bittorrent doesn't.

Now that's simply just untrue. The main difference from Bittorrent is that it relies on Content ID, not torrent links. IPFS is used by many organizations and individuals more than just AI companies.
YC startupschool has a huge package if I remember, maybe I should say a big pool instead, of internal and external offers and freebies. I think its only a few writing exercises and video meetings with other founders in terms of showing up
Hopefully soon. Have to build it out.
I was in the "close to nature is good" camp but then the other day I watched a video of a bear infested with intestinal nematodes (don't google it) and then I realized that perhaps staying somewhat away from nature might not be so bad.
The Bill of Rights is not just for US Citizens but for immigrants as well, I think.
Wrong. The point is that you could have seen it coming.

And you sow the seeds of it happening again when you think of opposition to Discord as an ideological stance, rather than one that promotes a practical structure which guards against a company deciding to screw you over.
One thing I always wondered, speaking of etiquette was how security was handled. You get up to go bathroom, get coffee, even leave for lunch. Do you have to secure valuables? Do each desk have a locker?
I found these illustrations to be really informative

WeWork's business model - arbitrage between long term liabilities (lease a lot of space from a building) and short term assets (sub lease portions of that space with short terms).

That model works poorly in good times, and never works in bad times.
That's exactly what parent is pointing out, it just flew over your head.

People saying Unity was not a good choice because it's closed source and controlled by one private company were laughed off as ideologues. Then what they warned about happened.

Now the same kind of people are getting the same kind of response. Maybe that "ideology" is based on practical considerations after all?
How is indexing a vector different from indexing a varchar or an integer ?
If you convert a vector into a byteaarray it should be no different from a bytearray of varchar but for the bytearray contents.

Now if you want to do similarity search you have to measure the distance between 2 or more vectors and that's independent of the indexing. No ?

So any database with sufficient memory should be able to accomplish this as evidenced by the vector similarity search feature of Redis. ( I don't know how Redis folks have implemented vector similarity but they do support KNN search )
This is has been me exact experience with WeWork in London, honestly its the only thing that kept me sane during the lockdowns.

Me and like 2 other people would have an entire floor to us. Then some time around early last year it went from empty to nearly impossible to find a free spot.

My go to place was Merchant Square, Paddington. I had to stop going there because I couldn't find a single spot (not hyperbole). Then Hammersmith, which got filled up too and the last one was Holborn, which was relatively free until I left London.
The difference is that today those DBs are generally considered as complements to SQL databases targeting specific use cases. Back in the peak NoSQL days people were pushing the narrative that you'd never need to use a SQL database for anything ever again.
Wow, this originated in Bologna and I've never heard of it? Very cool, thanks for sharing.
Now I am conflicted.

Let's vote for a default password!
Don't tell the HFTs about these laser thingies!
> account for this possibility in their contracts

And it's easy to do... "If you are late paying the due amount, even by one day, then the amount payable increases by 25% immediately, followed by 5% more each day until paid".

That way if anyone plays chicken with anyone else by paying late, at least when bankruptcy proceedings are begun the payable total will be far larger, and so a bigger piece of the pie will be theirs.
To suggest we should choose an embryo that is at lower risk of long-term issues reveals an underlying presupposition that suffering should be avoided or is bad. There are many examples throughout history of people who rose to great heights as a result of facing their suffering bravely.
Little suggestion for your website.

On https://app.anything.world/animation-rigging the 3D background is really smooth once it loads, but that takes a while on slower networks/CPUs. It might be worth a adding little CSS loading indicator before the script so that people know that something is coming!
By default the script for the page itself is whitelisted, it is just the third party scripts that are blocked. This works fairly often, but there are a few sites that you can also globally unblock because they provide value. One example is mathjax, used to format equations on many pages.
"The awful thing about life is this: Everybody has their reasons."
I hope the irony of a protocol called „Interplanetary file system“ being more suitable for local usage isn’t lost on people :)
> Wework should be put in the hands of an official receiver.

Anyone with an outstanding debt can ask a bankruptcy court for this...

The fact nobody has done so means nobody thinks it's worth it.

Yeah, people are only "environmentally friendly" only up to the line of inconvenience, if we want to live sustainably we'd have to have the living standards of South Sudan or Benin[1].

Yeah I realize this is doomerism and "Why bother?", but, realistically, why bother? Some people have the deus-ex machina fantasy that "some technology will come along and save us all" and other than that, IMO there's only pain in the future, either most of the planet burns up, with all the human conflict along the way (fighting over water and food), or the whole planet actually commits to living like South Sudanese (hah, what was that about having fantasies?), and even then the emissions until now will still have an effect decades into the future...

I am a Terry fan. I wanted to honor him with the "Temple DOS" version name. It's just the name of v0.1 of L2E OS.
I wrote software to at least adjust brightness: https://len.falken.directory/backlight-auto.html

If you're lucky, your monitor can be controlled over HDMI or DisplayPort commands.

Matching the room brightness is exactly why I wrote it and because I wanted a nearly-dependency-free binary.
I'm a physics PhD... so it's a bit of self-deprecating humor. As a wise man once said, the 10 scariest words for a social scientist are, "I'm from the Physics department, and I'm here to help".

On a slightly more serious note, Physicists (and I've certainly been guilty of this as well) aren't always humble enough to learn why a specific field does things the way they do before immediately trying to impose their own approach (Ising models all the way down!)
Thanks - glad to see he is still around and retired it seems.
Rochen Hosting having problems since Saturday
I have domains unable to connect to SMTP servers since Saturday. The only real response to trouble tickets is 'we're working on it'. Any idea what happened to them.
I'd pay, but 14$ a month seems a bit steep, they don't make anywhere close to that from me today.
> If Bezos leaves America then he only owes the value accrued during his time in America.

That’s equivalent to what the IRS is doing only moving things forward to residency vs citizenship. The current system is actually better for Bezos or other multi billionaires because they can move anywhere around the world and keep deferring capital gains until death when it disappears.
I hope you don't believe I wrote something about that IPFS is only suitable for local usage. You can have your own remote network, spanning whatever nodes/computers/servers you want, remote or otherwise :)
I have a g22 and strongly dislike it. It's the phone that finally convinced me to go to Apple. Though I'd prefer if Google-free Android were practical.
Only if they file for bankruptcy. I'm saying get paid in full via court order before they file for larger bankruptcy.

If wework owes you $100M that you demand repayment on, and they owe $1B in total, they may not want to declare full bankruptcy just for your 10% of the total debt. In which case you can get a court order to be paid in full, since they was the terms of the original debt contract.

Ask HN: Examples of software/websites with good backward compatibility in UI/UX?
I am looking for examples of software and websites which do not drastically change their UI/UX every few years. The longer the software or website has been around. Looking for examples that have been around for 10-20 years but have kept their UI and UX mostly unchanged.

Why I care: Because changing the default UI input controls or changing their placement or changing how the software solves problems every few years is disruptive to efficient use of the software. I have to re-learn where those controls are or how to solve my problem in the new design.

Some examples I know that maintain good backward compatibility in their UI/UX: Vim, Emacs, Hacker News, lwn.net.

What other examples do you know?

How many engineers do you think are actually managed by LF? From my understanding, the majority of engineers contributing to Linux are on the payroll of other companies like Google.
Maybe

begin()
try {
work on
several
in memory
data structures
commit()
}
catch {
rollback()
}

And all those data structures are either collectively updated or not.

Yeah, it's a catch-all permission that says the extension wants to examine the DOM and HTTP requests. Absolutely necessary for any browser-based ad blocking.
> Using doubles for crypto prices instead of fixed point seems like a disaster waiting to happen?

TDLR; nope.

That depends what you use the incoming data for. Bookkeeping, yeah. And that's about it.

This doesn't look like it was meant for that. Some sort of trading where you track a bunch of indicators over a day (not HFT at their timings at the moment but along those lines): you absolutely want to avoid fixed point because of the speed penalty. See also [1].

Almost certainly, though in the short term it's actually Microsoft that's already been granted a patent on resurrecting dead people as AI from their social media data.

And at a certain point of looking to the future along these lines, one really has to wonder if the AI-powered resurrected dead would know that they are copies of the dead. And if not, has this all already happened long ago, and we're the unwitting copies?
Indeed, and this is how "badram" on Linux works.
Agree. Four months ago I scheduled a showing for an office and when I got to the location they didn't know of anything booked for a showing that day.

They were able to show me the available offices, and then I never heard anything else afterwards. No follow up.

The company is nearing bankruptcy, but nobody is closing when deals are right in front of them.
I suspect you could probably source pork bladder in quantity, relatively cheap from slaughterhouses. Never know that kind of thing might be a specialty delicacy somewhere and it turn out you can't afford it. It might turn out they're the vital ingredient for automobile airbags this whole time and we never knew.
If you insist that `len` shouldn't be defined on strings, and the default iterator should be undefined in python then:

for c in "Hello":
pass

should throw an exception. Also

if word[0] == 'H':
pass

should throw an exception.

This would have been an extremely controversial suggestion when python3 came out to say the least.

Codepoints is a natural way of defining unicode strings in python, and it mostly works the way you expect once you give it a bit of thought. It is lower level than, say, grapheme clusters, but its more well defined and it provides the proper primitives for dealing with all use cases.
Sorry I was pretty unclear. By "Linux" here I meant, "a traditional Linux distro" not just Linux inside the Chromebook. Crouton is amazing but pretty outdated at this point not being kept up to date, but crostini is, and neither of those require a main board swap
I'm really intrigued, but I can't read Chinese (yet!) - would you be able to tell me in which person these are written?

I've definitely seen gift card scam ads in the UK on YouTube.

> Then again UK advertisements are a lot more heavily regulated than the USA

This only applies to TV or broadcast mediums that are actually observable by a third-party.

There is no way for the ASA or similar regulator to actually oversee online advertising due to their sheer volume and due to targeting - unless your current browser session matches whatever targeting criteria set on the ad you wouldn't even know it's in there.
I never actually saw it in practice. But it was written about in several “don’t do this”-type articles, so maybe that made it seem more common.
To expand, you'll get either 100k credits that expire after 1 year or two chunks of 50k credits across 2 years. You also get a lot of support rep help, our rep pointed us to a few solutions that saved us thousands a month, for example.
hey there! we had the exact same problem so we built https://github.com/keephq/keep. it's cool to see that we have very similar syntax (you can see workflows examples here - https://github.com/keephq/keep/tree/main/examples/workflows)
I think the problem is that two separate problems are trying to be rectified.

One is incentivizing land to be used more productively, for example for public transit, higher density housing, so that more people benefit.

Another is a too large rich/poor gap.

The latter problem requires a different solution, which is taxes to redistribute wealth.
Not common as far as I'm aware, but notably Bourne used this for his shell.

Transactional memory [1], there are existing hardware and software implementations.

I've never been to a WeWork but traditional co-working spaces were kinda grim.

They'd often provide pretty bare-bones service - no fancy coffee, just a fridge where everyone had to label their own milk.

They'd have mostly small/single-person offices which people worked in alone with the door closed. I've heard some people find a 'community' at wework offices, a bunch of closed doors of course provides no such thing.

And they mostly rented space to permanently small businesses, like one-person accountancy companies. Which is a fine way to make a living! But co-working spaces weren't a place you'd expect to network with people whose businesses were going to the moon.
Historical Reckoning Gone Haywire
I quoted Unicode specification, so no, it's not false.
Clearing memory is an interesting problem that comes up a lot and, in some architectures, what's written is an encrypted series of zeroes.

I wonder if memory controllers (at some level between the CPU down to the DRAM chips) wouldn't be able to implement a memory clearing function that could side-step the bus.

Even on machines with 16 memory channels, clearing a terabyte takes a long while.
Welcome to hypocrisy of techbro virtue signaling. The very same people will say with straight faces that BEVs are cheaper to operate calculating battery->motor consumption, ignoring charging/auxiliary losses and multiplying that by residential grid prices and/or completely ignore fuel excise and other road taxes that BEVs are exempt from.
This is misdirection. The other person was trying to wave away the weight of EVs by pointing to the Suburban that weighs 3 tons. Now you come with the entire category. But the most popular SUVs weigh the same as other cars. For example the RAV4 weighs about the same as an Accord, and half a ton less than a Model Y.
