I'll relay a quote from my mother -- "If you're feeling bad about this. Don't worry. It will only get worse! Hahahaha! (phone click)"

In all seriousness -- what you're running into is exactly what makes the job challenging. Here are a couple places to start, having been both in your shoes, and the shoes of those on the other end:

1. Executive 1:1s -- who are the other executives you work with outside of the CEO if any? Try to get 1:1s scheduled so you can get some more context about what you're walking into. Get a sense of what their needs are, which will give you a sense of what the broader organization's needs are. Remember, you're being hired to make the CEO's problems go away /without/ their asking you. Being able to integrate into their executive team is one of the best ways to prove you know what you're doing, and all it takes is some consistency, diligence, an open mind, and a desire to earnestly ask helpful questions.

2. Executive alignment meetings -- Is your CEO and executive team meeting regularly? If so, ask to join. If not, take the initiative to plan it -- ideally after you've aligned with the other executives beyond the CEO. Even if the CEO cannot make every (or even most) of their meetings, they'll greatly appreciate the initiative and it will build credibility. I know you mentioned they don't want to have these meetings, so it may be required to work indirectly through other executives first, based on who has the CEO's ear.

3. CEO 1:1 -- if you're the CTO, your CEO likely wants to have some degree of a regular 1 on 1 catchup, if at least to make sure you don't leave. You can figure out a cadence to make this work on said CEO's calendar -- whether it's once a week, biweekly, monthly, etc. The purpose of this meeting is to ensure that you are able to align with the CEO and collect feedback from them about what areas you're doing well on and around what areas you can improve. If you can't get this scheduled, I don't think you're in a place where you're set up to succeed and I'd advise you to leave. If it's hard to get this scheduled, try pushing on the first two approaches first to get the rapport to get here.

Most importantly -- if you can't get any of these scheduled, you should really re-evaluate whether this is the right role and whether you shouldn't move. If you are the CTO and you cannot get some kind of regular time, no matter how infrequent, with the CEO and other executives, you are not really the CTO and you should consider leaving. Just my 2c.

The reward is more time. Now where that time is spent is another story.

But when C was invented, CPUs were primarily designed to run hand-coded assembly. So why didn’t they trap by default? …Well, I don’t know. Probably because it’s simpler that way. But someone better acquainted with the history might have a better answer.

VAXen had a trap on overflow capability. I once rebuilt the C compiler to set that bit in the function header mask, and recompiled many of the UNIX utilities. About half of them broke. It was too late for a retrofit by 1980.

Burroughs machines had 48-bit numbers, which were signed-magnitude floats using a 32-bit mantissa with the binary point at the low end. So integers were floats with a zero mantissa. Integer overflow caused promotion to a float.

So, the hardware people did try.

Better than that. LBA 1 and 2 engine has been opensourced some time ago.

Say that were true, your amazement in your OP would be a little strange.

I'll point you back to the sibling comment as evidence to the contrary:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37972080

Rituals around coming-of-age, first menstruation etc. also seem to oppose your claim. Plus also: common sense (have sex, pregnancy bump appears, baby comes out). The ability to deduce is common to all humans. If you think that indigenous Australians lack this faculty, that's kind of amazing.
This is super fun to play with. Adding instructions at different points in this pattern generates some very cool overlay effects.

> entitled to criticize or diminish otherwise similar religious practices found within the dominant culture they were raised

Its amazing how the right(or the religious more generally) feel entitled to diminish the self-agency and self-ownership of people who live in the same state as them because they fell they dominate and own the culture that "raises" those people. It reminds me of the certain ideologies that sees the whole chinese diaspora as some how being property of the PRC.
I am not sure how you could meaningfully compare Prolog and SQL. Both are declarative languages, but that's where the similarities end. SQL is for interacting with databases, whereas Prolog is, more or less, a language that you can write regular programs in.

Perhaps the Prolog terminology of "queries" and "database" gave you the impression it has something to do with databases that store data. It doesn't. The query is over logical terms, and the database is a collection of Prolog facts.
Is the "all devices must be put in flight mode" rule written in blood? Everything I've heard suggests it's not necessary. I agree with your general point though.
I addressed that in my comment. Having a relatively stable output for the same input is a core requirement of the models atleast with the default settings.
The responsibility falls on both parties. Hamas is responsible for a heinous crime which provokes this retaliation. But all aspects of the retaliation is still Israel’s responsibility.
the only answer to this assertion is 'of course'

We are in the era of contesting narratives, with 'disinformation debunkers' being amongst the worst culprits. All is propaganda or meta-propaganda, our anguish is coming to terms with this bitter reality.

>By your metric, you'd think our Supreme court judges were puppets too

In the US supreme court judges almost always agree with whatever position is favoured by the party that appointed them, even if nominally independent.
If you work remotely (but don’t need a great internet connection to do so), don’t mind having absolutely minimal amenities, cultural activities (apart from a few tourist traps), international airports etc. within a day or two’s drive… then sure.

Usually these places are cheap because there is little economy (so few jobs), so most of the even slightly ambitious youth escape to the cities or larger towns in the area, which leaves them with ‘interesting’ demographics.

This is an interesting inversion actually, because things like meth and then the associated crime are much more of a problem in the country than the cities here, which is kind of the opposite of what you hear about the cities being dangerous in places like the US.
The announcements are a failure because they DON'T SAY WHY. Nobody is going to take it seriously unless they're given a reason to. People might think it's about their fingers getting pinched or something.

We need a word for uselessnessification. WTF are they afraid of, that they omitted the critical information from the announcement?
I get it, to some extent. I serve one of my sites with my own web server. I detest using programs that drag in zillions of dependencies over which you have no control, and every modern web server does exactly that.

That said, compiling your web content into your server? That's a step too far. Data and the application that process that data are two very different things, and (imho) should remain separate.
Take it a step further and teach actual data analysis and statistics that are not coin flip/compound interest plug and chug into the calculator problems. No matter what sort of job you do in life, being able to pull a csv from all your different credit or debit accounts and draw some inferences from that would be so useful.
I was discussing two different time frames. Envelopeless deposits are circa 2010. Deposits in envelopes go back as far as I recognize ATMs (which is back when BofA was calling them 'versatellers', but I'd rather not date myself specifically)

Show HN: vbang2 – DDG-Style Bangs with Customizations
I’ve been using DDG’s “bang” feature (search engine shortcuts) for many years and continue to use it after migrating to Kagi. However, the ergonomics of bangs are suboptimal as the leading character `!` takes extra finger travels (on desktop) or taps (on mobile) to input, and there’s no way to customize the catalog of bangs, at least before paying for Kagi.

Therefore I made the simple Node application that emulates bangs with the single variation that the leading character `!` is replaced with `v` (case-insensitive to accommodate iOS’ auto-captalization), which is easier to input on either desktop or mobile. An OpenSearch manifest is included so the site can be discovered by browsers and eligible to be set as the default search engine. You can also supply your own catalog of bangs following the format of DDG’s `bang.js`.

A preview deployment is available at https://vbang2.vercel.app/ and you are invited to deploy your own instance (instructions in readme). I’m completely new to Node so please tolerate sharp corners all over the project :)
Toronto did. Other cities can too.
Yea sure sure but it's significantly worse now that before. As more people become more desperate, they will turn to crime. Canada needs an embodiment of Theseus to defeat the Procrustes like progressives.
It's morning.. I thought I'll see a lot of open source software codes/projects in some form.. :)
He's not saying the rule is pointless. He's pointing out that the announcements FAIL to explain that this is an important safety issue, leading passengers to BELIEVE that it's no big deal.
I didn't call names. Read again what has happened.

You seem as blind by the way by refusing to see or acknowledge the sort of people who often hide (or not so hide) their true agenda under the "pro-palestine" umbrella.

"Not so hide" because even in this thread I alreary see one commenter siding with what I have called out. So here we have it.

So it seems to me that the Guardian is the useful idiot here, if not worse.

By the way, I don't think the topic is appropriate on this site, so I have already commented too much but it is also frustrating to see the exploitation by extremists.
The article was written by Karl Gruber? Is there going to be a rebuttal by John McClane?
> Canadian homicide rate is comparable to Balkan countries

At 2.1/100,000 it’s a hair above the 2021 Balkans average, which is, frankly, quite low and just a little higher than the Northern Europe average.

> each famous in their own way of dysfunction and corruption.

Yes, but not for high homicide rates.

What’s the point you are trying to make?
So a handful of non graphically intense RPGs from a relatively obscure/cult publisher doesn't really contradict minority though. That particular game was released in early 1990, relatively late into the life of the NES and not exactly a first party title. By 80s, I meant more coincident with the release of the system.

> you'll see text strings with the %s token... pretty sure those would only come from C.

There is nothing inherent in % escaped substitutions that unequivocally implies C. You could pretty easily write an asm port of a basic printf function if one wanted to reuse previously translated strings. Not saying C wasn't used for the NES port of this title, but this by itself isn't as strong a clue as implied.
Recently moved into a four-bedroom home in a moderately desirable suburb of Los Angeles. I myself work in tech field and my spouse is university faculty. Our subdiv is a large tract of homes built 15-25 years ago, all in the mid six figures to just a hair over seven.

At least three of the neighbors within sight of my own house are some sort of residential construction or property trade contractor. Two are public school teachers. At least one paints houses for a living. It is apparently totally possible to work a trade and live a recently comfortable lifestyle. I'm not saying it's easy, and I'm not saying that there is a straightforward path to break in to that lifestyle but it is evidently more than abundantly possible.

Without thinking may be a stretch but for sure any big accomplishments require 'go for it' attitude, and normally there is no way to properly prepare yourself for unknown unknowns and assess risks correctly without previously walking similar/same path.
Simple solution: Seats shouldn't recline.
Is this because people in efforts to secure their long-standing jobs have made software more complex and less effective?
no, i'm not talking about physically printed money. I'm talking about generating money not via debt, but via "wishing" it into existance.

Banks generate money via debt. This is OK. If the treasury starts printing money - like what Zimbabwe or Venezuela did (or the Weimar Republic[1] pre-WW2) - then you will get rampant inflation.

She will not be unemployed in this situation, nor will her peers in similar situations. Available labor is always gobbled up and not left idle for long. Case in point: we've obviated jobs like the horseshoe maker and the stable boy and yet unemployment rate today at 3.8% or so is half of what it was in the 1900s when we had all these horse and stable jobs.
I don't have any special sensitivity to light that I'm aware of, at least in any other aspect of daily life, but I can't even look in the general direction of emergency vehicles with all lights blazing at night, and it presents a real hazard for me when trying to navigate around them.
As people have done for (maybe dozens or even hundreds of) millennia.
It's a not-terrible solution if you ship lots of dependencies which you don't want to install as available system-wide. And at some number of them, it's easier to ship your deps than to ensure every version of the system is compatible enough.
> I had it happen to me once but as instructed didn’t move the seat (had to move to another one for landing as it was stuck in the lie flat position).

How does that work on a completely full flight?

The parent mentioned $500,000 mortgages are the thing of the past.

The $500,000 is usually carried by two. $250,000 mortgage while expensive is still much cheaper than current rental values.
One wonders that, if a phone can slip in, could a finger also encounter an unfortunate fate in the same place? In other industries, there are things called "pinch points" in machinery, and they are usually clearly marked and shielded, with attention paid during design to minimise them when possible. Even something that is only human-powered can produce a dangerous amount of force via the multiplication of levers.

It's been a long time since I've been on a plane, but I do remember that the seats seem to obviously be optimised for weight savings, so minimising pinch points and/or guarding them is clearly not a priority.
> Incompetent government is the higher risk.

or wrong incentives in gov't.

Those countries that was listed in the quoted comment are basically subsiding large portions of the people - fuel, food, public sector 'jobs' (non-productive jobs), etc - and funded it via debt.

I guess incompetence and 'malice' are indistinguishable at some point.
Maybe they'd make you do the landing in a jump seat?
Fucking hell. Wow.
> 20% down. Agree 10% down is not plan A.

Right, okay. And, to be clear, back in my day 5% down (FIVE) was totally plan A, so that has gotten harder for the next generation. Thanks, fedgov!

> difficult to work with

Heh, notwithstanding the amusing savagery of my sibling comment, is "difficult to work with" a euphemism for "impossible to work with", or do you have reason to believe that this is even possible?

> It sucks if you are a single person

I would say that it's getting closer to hopeless if you're a single-income family, and being a single-income individual isn't much better, because 1br condos are actually not that much cheaper than 1br.

I'm in a condo, btw, and I could have done it on my income alone when I bought (laxer stress tests, I provided the down solo anyway, rates were lower, prices were lower), but I could not buy this condo solo today, and certainly not with the income I had then.

I guess my overall message is: I think that the type of financial modelling you were doing is excellent to show that it is not yet impossible or hopeless, and if someone wants to make it happen, it's still within reach... but... it's genuinely really hard. For decades I've been scoffing at people whining about affordability, saying that they just spend too much on short-term pleasures, but in the last decade I've kinda stopped the scoffing and shut my mouth.
You can take an empty plastic bottle of 2L and fill it in with a fountain after security.
... I want to disagree with this, but it lines up with my own experience. My work was being presented for similar grants with very flimsy justifications. Not pure web work but it wasn't exactly foundational research either.
The tickets are bought already, and you mention also the cabin pressure loss, what to do in case of an emergency landing and watering.. most airlines here also pretty explicit about battery devices going smokey, and noone freaks out, so that is really not the concern?
If the average human were allowed to achieve its most base preferences, we'd all be a half ton in weight, floating around in chairs, stupefied at some screen, just as depicted in Wall-e.
I don't know if there's good justification for this yet. The claim that computers are shifting from general (CPU) chips to more specialized (GPU) chips.

I'm not sure classifying GPU as "specialized" is right- it's essentially a chip that can do lots of small computations, rather than big ones like the CPU does. To me, the trend looks more like a shift from centralized to distributed models of computing. Which I think is also backed up by data processing tools like spark which distribute over multiple computers.

I saw a "SQL process unit" announced recently[1] which I guess really is a move towards specialized compute. I haven't heard of much uptake in it yet though, so I guess time will tell.

> it's that there's something about Canada that suffocates and debilitates small and medium companies.

On the face of it, Canada should be a hotbed of entrepreneurship. The country has full access to the US market, has a good standard of living, has capitalism with good social nets, has great rule of law, well educated residents, allows qualified immigrants...

Every major economy is aging. Surely this cannot be the answer why entrepreurship in Canada is down.

Also, I object to the metric of entrepreneurs as a percentage of population used in the article. It is about how many successful companies are being born. You could have a very high entrepreurship rate with a high failure rate or you could have a low entrepreneurship rate with a high success rate. At the end it is the product of the two i.e. sustainable, successful businesses born per year that is a better metric. We also need to take future profitability and future-impact into account. Giving birth to one OpenAI per year is arguably better than getting 100 new dry-cleaner businesses per-year.

The article could have been better.
Most recent flights I've been on, it was specifically stated it was a fire hazard in the safety announcement
Sounds like you're implying that that newly spared time would be hers to spend and not her employers?
If transaction 1 and 2 are running the example and the ordering is something like:

txn1 = db.begin()

# implicit exclusive row lock established here on A row, exclusive rather than shared read because we say for update
currBalance1 = txn1.query('select balance from accounts where name = A for update’)

… <snipped some of the example code> …

txn1.execute('update accounts set balance = balance - $amount where name = A')

# Concurrently tx2 begins, tx1 has locked row A so far
txn2 = db.begin()

# we’re exclusively locking row B in txn2
currBalance2 = txn2.query('select balance from accounts where name = B for update’)

# This is the first point in transaction 1 where we take an exclusive lock on B, however we are deadlocked now
txn1.execute('update accounts set balance = balance + $amount where name = B')

The solution is what the parent suggested, take the exclusive locks on rows A&B at the same time because if transaction 2 is locking B&C you can’t afford to do 2 separate for update calls because b might get locked as you’ve just locked A and were about to lock B

select balance from accounts where name = 'A' or name = ‘B’ for update

I have less than a billion dollars, and yet I worry about money a lot.
