Unless there are network effects involved, and return to office works or not for a particular firm depending on if most other firms returned or not. For example, if firm A forced return, but everybody else not, it is labeled a shitty employer, and gets worse workers on average. If everybody else returns as well, at least it's not left behind on this metric.
Although TFA is about the psychological aspect of handwriting, this subject usually draws comment on the learning of handwriting. As a counterpoint to some typical comments, I'll point out that handwriting is a motor skill and that it is subject to the same constraints as developing any other motor skill. When speculating on the value of some approach, consider how well it would work for some other motor skill like tennis or woodcarving.
Of course, that's my point :-) It is illegal but still exists empirically today, which is one very good reason why salary bands should be public.
So you have someone start before you've decided to hire them. This sounds incredibly sleezy.
Yep, those are corner stones to interoperability with noscript/basic (x)html browsers, which should be supported by the actual web sites in a best effort scenario (and should be mandatory for tons of administrative online services or core online services).

But many toxic coders working there are actively making their "web interface" ultra hard dependent on running javascript code in the client, for instance with extremely volatile and complex web browser fingerprinting. For instance, the new kick.com which will "javascript check your web browser", and you better have a Big Tech web engine... Don't be fooled on where the real evil is...

Interoperability of Big Tech with Small Tech is prime. Only hardcore regulation can do it and it must expect the worst: Big Tech shadow-hiring hacker teams to give hell to Big Tech alternatives.
Depends. I (have to) use CVS due to my insurance and I have two they absolutely will not mail.
What's unrealistic about it? "We should all."
Dude, the video of the guy explaining how he invented the klingon and vulcan language for the star trek movies was extremely entertaining. the fact that in star trek 2 they already shot some scenes, and they wanted to dub a language that could be said with the already existing lip movements, but wasn't a current human language. In any case, wild stuff. Some people just created some amazingly cool things.
> I find it amusing how they did not interview one single person who thought he or she might just choose a different way of transportation,

dropping speed limits doesn't do that.

if you want netherlands, you need to invest in biking infrastructure and traffic calming. you can't just drop the speed limits and try to declare victory.

> Today we have e-bikes and scooters, so hilly terrain is not a problem anymore.

distracted drivers are still a problem.

they dropped the speed limits to 25mph where i live and while i could buy an e-bike, i don't feel like getting myself killed for a principle, so i just drive 15 mph over the limit like literally everyone else.
The people who are good at algorithms are grinders. There is a tiny percentage of geniuses who don't need to grind algorithms. The rest of the people who were good at algos before leetcode became widespread were also grinders

In fact this is how you become "smart" - some talent and a lot of hard work (grind)
In democracies, laws don't emerge from nowhere as some top-down mandate... much to the chagrin of people who in the private sector actually can totally warp incentives to effectively induce or forbid certain behaviors in other people.

"New research from Johns Hopkins University (JHU) suggests that handwriting practice refines fine-tuned motor skills and creates a perceptual-motor experience that appears to help adults learn generalized literacy-related skills "surprisingly faster and significantly better" than if they tried to learn the same material by typing on a keyboard or watching videos."
Start with small changes, preferably ones you can walk back.

I was in a rut and in sessions with a therapist became convinced that it was all my wife's fault. Now I don't have a wife and there's no hope of going back. A nebulous rut related to not having enough purpose or socialization in life has been replaced by a deep depression and crippling loneliness.

Don't worry about the grass on the other side of the fence. Watering your own lawn is often better than moving on.

My advice on how to dig yourself out of a rut - Spend a week focusing on making your loved ones' lives as happy and easy as possible. Removing a stressor from someone else's life will make you feel better about your own stressors. Making someone smile on the outside will make you smile on the inside.
I absolutely agree with the article.

I moved my wife and I to a Matrix server that I control, with disk encryption on top of the Matrix encryption. Signal was great for us, for a long time, but it was time to move on.

I've even set up a Matrix chat server for my business for "office hours." The governments of the world have no right to see my comms with my (future) customers.

And as soon as I can (when I have customers), I will be donating to the people who run Matrix. I'll probably set up a support contract.

If you can set up a Matrix server for friends and family, do it.

Also, I believe we as programmers have more duties to stop this tide of authoritarianism. I'm writing a blog post now called "Your Loved Ones Are Prisoners, and You Made the Chains" because yes, this is partially our fault.

So we need to step up and do more to stop this.
I'd say take a couple of courses first and see what happens.
Are there largely unsolved security issues with paper voting? Why can countries like Germany pull that normally off quite well (other than local ineptitude in Berlin, perhaps)?
> The biggest counter-incentive for realtors is that they make more money on volume than added-value-over-replacement.

Where I'm from, votes are hand counted by committee of multiple people in each voting district and anyone else can come and observe the process.

You can't commit large scale fraud this way. And the results are available within 12 hours of the closing thanks to massive parallelism.

There is no point in using machines other than enriching their manufacturer and enabling fraud.
I've just checked with a few math books I like, and they are using ℕ and ℕ₀ throughout. What I don't like about ℤ⁺ is that 1) it talks about integers, although negative numbers might not be relevant in the current context at all, and 2) it's not really clear if ℤ⁺ denotes ℕ or ℕ₀. Of course, you have the same ambiguity problem with ℕ.

Oh, see how I numbered this 1) and 2), not 0) and 1)?
the whole point of the inspection is to go back to the seller and get the price lowered when the seller can almost see the check in their hands.
My experience is that Google code reviews tend on the whole to get so caught up in stylistic and micro-level technical comments that overall design gets lost in the shuffle. Especially in something really large and old and evolved like Android or Chromium.

In general the code review process can work at Google for most projects because the essential design questions are already set in stone. You use protobuf/gRPC, follow the patterns that other services have mandated. There is usually a "recipe."

And within Google design problems are perhaps sometimes addressed during PRD/design-doc phase, in a big Google Doc. But not always.

But I can see how this could completely fall over when these things go out into the external world.

That and the need to make everything into small microlevel reviews that get nitpicked for days means that large wholesale architecture simplifications and refactors just don't really happen very often. Few projects have people with that kind of authority.

The Torvalds review is pretty savage.
No, it's simply unrealistic. Effort is besides the point.
Yup. And underlying ‘might makes right’ is another even more basic one, ‘they who survive and reproduce wins’.

Everything else gets layered on top, with more and more sophistication.

Ethics and morals are attempts to encode various ideas of long term successful strategies for that longer term goal, to help counteract many of the shorter term incentives. But, like most ‘shoulds’, they are often just wishes by those disconnected from the actual reality on the ground or from those that have no ability to make them actually make sense.

Local vs Global maxima perhaps? Or ideal vs reality? Or protective delusions? Or wisdom of the ages? Or tools to direct the median? Or longer term goals?

For someone wiser than me to decide, I imagine.
The leader music became Pavlovian for me where it would almost immediately put my mind in a “alright time to wrap it up” kind of a state haha.
> wiki page doesn't mean it is well researched, where can I see results of overhead measurements on modern hardware?

Here is how this works: at the bottom of the wiki page, there are referenced papers. They contain measurements in modern hardware. You read those, then perhaps go to Google and see if there is any newer research that cites those papers.

If you don't feel like reading papers, HN has a search bar at the bottom that yields a wealth of results: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
Same boat. I've interviewed hundreds of engineers, using thirty minute code review kind of setup, who have proved damn good in the depth of their knowledge.

Of your list, only police and schools are (probably) driven by people rather than land area. Fire stations are decided by distances to stations, which is why any actual fire sees enormous overkill response (finally a chance to use the toys!)

Surface streets are obviously proportional to land area. So are water and sewage infrastructure, and they're massively more expensive than streets. As others have pointed out, water treatment and supply are handled by usage charges.
Well, that seems on-brand for the new Twitter.
According to the response headers at least, nginx is reverse-proxying to an express app. (at least it seems that way from: https://github.com/badlogic/skyview/blob/main/server.ts#L46, but maybe nginx is also configured to serve static files first as well as reverse proxy.)

Without the nginx config, you can't really know what's going on, but at least the express app isn't storing any information beyond what it needs to actually respond. The nginx log probably lists IP addresses so the footer is possibly incorrect.

Not going to be hyper pedantic though, cool stuff @badlogic!
Piped is indeed 'related' to NewPipe: Both NewPipe and Piped use "NewPipe Extractor" to extract Video information (AFAIK including stream data) from streaming sites like YouTube.

I believe the main difference is that NewPipe is an Android App frontend and Piped is a web frontend with the Extractor library as a core dependency.

Which makes the NewPipe Extractor library a great starting point for building more, different frontend applications.

Disclaimer: I'm no expert and this is an oversimplified explanation.
I would like to hear more about your experience. Permission to get in touch?
How performant are SiFive boards for general computing?
Yes, but I'd say that until a new platform pops up, at least 80% of what's on existing has been staked out by at least medium sized companies, if not mega-corps.

Those remaining 20% can still make for decent living, I won't deny that.
"western ideals" are always in flux. So if whatever you're noticing is becoming the norm in western countries, it's not useful to call it anti-western.

SV hasn't been about building things since the 2000s. Since then, what we've gotten is: adtech, uber-for-x, platform monopolies, cryptocurrency scams, and now chatGPT for x. And to be sure, there were also a small amount of people working on important innovations, just like today. The culture of work has changed (as always), but the amount of wasted effort and pointlessness in SV hasn't changed for a while. But I'll concede that high interest rates have probably changed the form that it takes.
Considering that the previous generation benefitted greatly because of low interest rates (esp. e.g. being able to buy a second home at the same monthly payment due to rate halfings), and those low rates drive up the cost of housing, having the previous generation finance this generations house kinda makes sense, even if its not "fair" for everybody.
You can't fix the stupid ones no matter what hiring strategy you use.
It’s a bad review. The snarky prose is annoying. He could be much more concise as well. “Won’t merge. Commit messages need far more detail. Don’t do bitmask translations. All of these operations should use the same mask instead of creating redundant ones. Rethink the logic here, not sure if it makes sense. This needs a rewrite, not small tweaks”

…was really all it needed. The wall of text is more offensive than the insulting tone.
Unlocking the Secret to Thriving Amidst Wealth Inequality
The unequal distribution of wealth, also known as wealth inequality, is the unequal distribution of assets and resources among individuals or groups in a society. It refers to the gap between the rich and the poor, where a small percentage of the population holds a disproportionately large share of the wealth.
In Nigeria, wealth inequality is a significant issue. The country has one of the highest levels of income inequality in the world, with a Gini coefficient of 35.1 in 2022. This means that a small number of people control a large portion of the country’s wealth, while a large number of people live in poverty. This has contributed to unemployment, and underdevelopment, particularly in rural areas. The lack of access to basic amenities, including education, healthcare, and infrastructure, has further widened the gap between the rich and the poor. This situation has also led to social unrest, political instability, and an increase in crime rates in some areas.

While some degree of wealth gap may be considered natural in any society, the extent of the inequality is influenced by numerous factors, including government policies, economic structures, access to education, technological advancements, and cultural norms. Proactive measures can be taken to create a more inclusive and equitable economic environment. This could be achieved by promoting equitable access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities, along with progressive taxation.

It is difficult for people from lower-income backgrounds to move up the socioeconomic ladder due to a lack of opportunities and resources.

However, to be on the better side of wealth distribution in Nigeria, there are strategies that can be followed such as investing in education and acquiring marketable skills that can enhance employment prospects and earning potential. Exploring entrepreneurial ventures and developing innovative solutions can also create opportunities for wealth generation.

Notwithstanding, it is important to understand financial concepts and practice sound financial planning which will help you manage money better and accumulate wealth. In addition to this, establishing connections and building relationships with individuals and organizations will open doors to new opportunities and resources.

Keep abreast of economic trends and adapt to the changing market conditions in order to navigate the economic landscape and make informed decisions. This includes; learning about emerging industries, technological advancements, and market shifts.

Despite the competitive job market and business environment in Nigeria, with determination, resilience, and a willingness to adapt, one can be on the better side.

NB: an environment that encourages entrepreneurship and innovation, while ensuring fair competition, can contribute to a more equitable distribution of wealth.
I don't understand the point of asking ChatGPT to embed google search hyperlinks. If I wanted to use google, I wouldn't be talking to ChatGPT.
I believe that is due to the use of Spherical Harmonics.
Jfc. I'm going to slap the next person that claims they're blocked.

Blocked means that you've tried solving the problem and that you've tried in multiple ways. Also you can be blocked because production is burning down or "blocked" since you give 0 fucks and have zero incentives to try.

If you claim you're blocked and I get a blank stare when I ask you what the problem is, what have you tried and what is your current hypothesis on why thigs are not working I am going to slap you so hars that you'll be back to using RCS for source control.
I agree, it's more easy to do at scale with e-voting. I wonder if you could mitigate this by having(in the US at least), county-local voting portals which are independently managed, and then collated into some larger vote bucket for state/federal elections.
You would think that

> about corrupt police shaking down small business owners under threat of losing their business license.

would be a crime...
technically they are breaking the law by refusing to show a house because of the low commission.
I wish my own previous generation did that too.
As a different perspective: I end up writing a fair bit of code that involves data structures and algorithms. Runtime complexity does come up in my line of work, and I've definitely had to solve a couple of issues related to code being accidentally quadratic. So I do value basic Big-O analysis, and it's definitely nice to know some core data structures, especially arrays and hash tables.

But what leetcode and leetcode interviews optimize for isn't all that valuable. In the context of the job there are usually different space/time constraints than what you'll see in leetcode, and there are also integration constraints that can change/invalidate textbook approaches.

Most importantly, though, you always have more than 30-60 minutes to figure things out, and can consult whatever references you want.
Is your product too opinionated?
which doesn't matter, because the op is done.
It is a downgrade in language features, there is always PyPy.
You are right that every TM can be converted into a Collatz-like problem using Conway's Fractran compilation. So technically the statement "Solving the BB(n, k) problem is at least as hard as solving a Collatz-like problem." is true in general.

However, the Collatz-like problems you will get from this completion will be gigantic, they will not have distilled the problem into a similar description of it's behavior, but instead created a more complicated way of observing that behavior. The Collatz-like problem I present here is a simplification of the behavior of this TM. If you observe the machine running you will see that it is effectively completing these transitions.

In other words, I am not arbitrarily choosing to convert this to a Collatz-like problem simply because it is possible. I am looking at the behavior of this machine and that behavior turns out to be Collatz-like naturally.

Of course none of this proves that my Collatz-like problem really is hard ... but as someone else here mentioned, being hard is not a mathematical thing, it is a belief we have about certain problems we cannot solve after considerable effort.
> I have software engineers on my team who are literally creating twice as much business per year despite being at the same level. (The actual peak to trough ratio is probably higher than that, but it's at least 2x.) Why should they be paid exactly the same or even within 5% of each other?

I'm not exactly sure I would say they are performing the same duties then. Are they all responsible for generating business? I would argue they aren't actually doing the same job. This could be the difference between their salaries being the same versus their compensation being the same. Generating business can be a highly variable achievement from year-to-year, so providing total compensation that is higher for those generating more business than others. If their primary job is to do software engineering, then I would imagine their salary would reflect that job. Additional compensation could be given for doing essentially additional responsibilities over and above their job. You could give the feedback to your other software developers to explain the difference in their total compensation vs. salary. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean when you say "creating business" though.
Just had an idea you could use. 1. Have your app allow people to Bring their own data source, if thats possible. 2. Just release it as is but just limit it to Nasdaq, SP500, Amex, and main indexes. (80/20).
At 12:20 the meeting gets cancelled and "we'll sync offline"
The headline is too simplistic but the body text doesn't really make the claim that GPT thinks:

> The machine, so to say, thinks in English and translates the conversation at the last moment into Estonian.

They're trying to communicate that there is value in processing a language directly, as opposed to processing English and then translating the result into the target language.
It's shocking, but it is probably happening all over the country. In USA there is a shortage of workers, including security workers, and police benefit from that.

Some of the allegations amount to corruption, some just business realities. This is a job for FBI to figure out.
All good, i try not take things too seriously. Appreciate your bluntness and curiosity.

Most of my career has been with early stage tech but I’ve also been in companies of thousands. I think I’m best cast in teams of 5-20 and I’ve found I’ve done well building good culture around working within the limits of what the business needs (realistic costing, time estimates, alignment to product vision) while finding ways to intertwine the quality developers want to see in their own work with the objectives of product and the leadership team.

I think to try put it in simpler terms, the best people want an environment where they can do their best work. The question i encourage people to ask themselves is if they actually know what that environment looks like? Often they have an idea of what’s worked best so far, but not what is optimal. I like having discussions around that as you can go from there to a) learn from their perspective and see if you can include part of that in the environment you’re presently operating under and b) determine if that’s a good near team goal or long term goal for the current environment and set realistic expectations with that individual as to not “bait and switch” them. I really see little point wasting someone’s time with promises of utopia when you’ve got a team that just isn’t working…that’ll end predictably.

I’ve said before my best skill has been building small teams of very bright people, retaining them and out performing larger teams. It’s pretty trivial to out perform larger teams if you can retain people, but to retain them they need to like what they’re doing and how they’re doing it.
Atacms Have been used–finally
Is it still open source?

The GitHub seems kinda stalled with the last changes from 7 months ago?
there is no problem here, this is exactly what family is - people who will be there for you when no one else will

its a plus for the neighborhoods these people buy into as well - buyers from good supporting families are probably going to be good neighbors too

parents will be more flexible, sympathetic, and less greedy than a bank, and they can feel good about being there for their kids

everyone wins
