"because they make shipping more expensive for Israel."

That is an extremely slanted view of the situation. The Houthis attacked plenty of ships belonging to (de iure or de facto) multiple nations and carrying plenty of someone else's cargo, thus disrupting about 12 per cent of the total volume of global trade. They aren't even trying to enforce a specific blockade ( blockade is act of war, but it must be limited to very specific cargo/ships).

That is piracy 101 and pirates have been generally considered enemies of mankind since at least Antiquity.

Yeah, like the way the Russians are "liberating" Bakhmut and Avdiivka. Without the Western militaries and their help, they could have "liberated" the entire Ukraine into one big smouldering heap of ruins.

Such an elegant solution. This method could also be used to embed similar things.

How about humidity sensors embedded inside buildings? Like, the builder could throw a couple of them into a wall when they build it, and trivial to scan and measure the temperature or internal humidity level inside the wall (or other equipment, maybe industrial equipment) during routine inspections.

For a start you should, you should buy the latest version of the Dragon Book and then put it on the shelf.

Then you should get a copy of Modern Compiler implementation in ML. I love the Crafting Interpreters book, and also the Writing A Compiler In Go book; but they will not satisfy any person with undergraduate CS education.
Compare that to Plausible: Over $2M in revenue last year.

I can very much empathize that adding a "buy" button is a hump to get over when you just wanna build something cool and share it with like-minded people. I have the same issue with every project I build. I guess one should train to jump over one's shadow in this regard.
What of those who don't have a deep organic network and could benefit from additional exposure? (I'm personally grateful for a life-changing job brought in part by the algorithmic machinations of LinkedIn, for example.)

Concerns are fair, but you appear to jump immediately to the most negative possible interpretation.
When calibrated they're usually far better than that. Just they normally aren't factory calibrated because temperature sensing isn't the primary purpose of the chip and calibrating temperature sensors is very expensive at scale (have fun heating up every wafer to a very precise 100C and cooling it down to -40C just to record temperature sensor output).

Having said that, single point calibration is cheap to do (just calibrate at room temp) and pretty effective.
It's a cool idea but it's also a very easy problem to solve for free. Oftentimes it never gets to the point hr is actively looking for someone: they just use internal referrals (cost 10% of a recruiter, roughly) and worst case scenario use a recruiter.

Personal introductions also seem to net a better salary in my opinion

Companies that use only recruiters are too big / growing insanely fast or so bad employees wouldn't recommend to their friends.

Me and friends / coworkers use a free trello board / free slack community and we keep hiring among us whenever we jump ship
So how would you like to represent a vtable in Swift today? I mean down to the specific compiler implementation details. In GCC, Clang, MSVC they all both have different behaviors with different situations, such as virtual destructors, multiple inheritance and POD paddings.

Another problem is C++ template. Oh boy that thing is semi-decidable on its own.

Besides that, you have small things like ADL [1] and SFINAE plus the new C++ concepts...

That's why after learning C++17, I decided to give up and switch to Rust.

I'm not sure why is everybody so after C++. I don't care about sunk cost, and I just want the best of the best. Easy to implement the parser, easily make a compiler for it. I like those languages.

> compiler frameworks (LLVM, but GCC would work too) that provide you with a lot of tools to start with.

While I agree with this, the binary code to LLVM IR uplifting loses a lot of context and semantics information because LLVM IR was designed to do precisely the opposite. Moreover, the increasing popularity of using "middle level" IRs in LLVM-based compilers, like MIR and Swift IR, makes the "distance" between code and the IR representation even bigger. This is why IRs specifically designed to tackle RE tasks would perform better (RzIL and any relatively modern intermediate representation).

> They simply do not scale.

I agree with this notion, but you don't need to "solve" a whole program; it's impossible for any real-world software; you can selectively pick places to do so. Currently, existing binary analysis software already does that, but usually in a more "manual" way, e.g., by emulating pieces of the code sparsely to figure out indirect jumps and so on.

Names are clearly intended to mean “In the style of ____.” No one would see “Van Gogh” on this page and think it’s an original.
I bought the dvd of the original Dune before having seen the movie. I’ve watched it a few times. I really wanted to like it. Something’s really off about it.

If you don’t already know dune the original movie is really hard. If you do know it there are some changes.

It really is of its time however. It’s a kind campy art piece that makes it hard to take seriously. Though Sting.

The music in both movies is fantastic.

It is. That's why prices are kept so high, so those who own stay wealthy. I don't want a house for an investment tho, just a place to live.
Heck, you need more accuracy than that for a proper cup of tea or coffee.

That level of accuracy would also be useful in candy making, a secret hobby of mine. The cheap thermometers tend to have that margin of error and are pretty terrible at showing just how uneven the heat in a pan can be but I am not sure ic that has more to do with the sensors sensitivity or the refreshing on the cheap LCD display they tend to put on them.

In my experience, average contracting rates are not that different between UK and mainland Northern Europe. It's around 500-600 GBP in UK, and 500-700 EUR in Northern Europe (or local equivalent in SEK, DKK etc.). Southern Europe is much worse, and Eastern Europe also pays less, but in EE the money goes much further, so you might actually be better off than a contractor in London City.
The tone of this statement is interesting to me.

Normally official statements are far less direct, more vague, and more technical.

Because it's not always simple and being a good developer in many cases doesn't overlap with being good at marketing or business as it's not what they are passionate about.

Helping you use your own data on your own device isn’t a problem. Sharing it could be a concern but what we’re usually worried about is when that is done without your knowledge or consent. In this case, the user has to initiate the action, is fully informed, and can control what is shared. This is very far from what Facebook does.

Legally speaking, what is the precedent for recording this interaction?

I ask because I generally try to have any correspondence in a professional setting in writing. One never knows if that at some point could be useful from a legal standpoint.

But what would be the best way to do this for video calls and meetings like this?

Using the fact MOSFET can only have two distinct states to prove that the binary positional system is superior to ternary is a bit like using the number of fingers we have to argue that decimal is the best number system to work in.

Not sure what the author was thinking when he wrote the paper but this is one of the cases where peer review would have helped him a lot to make less grand statements.

And yes, if I knew that the average new hire at Netflix lasted 9 months, I’d still probably take it. I think I’m much better than average and I’d want to test myself at a place that is challenging to work at. If I’m good enough to get a Netflix offer I can probably get another offer in the future.

The average person should do what the average person wants but the upside of a long career at Netflix seems pretty darn high and might make an average person an above average person.

Ask HN: On the Boeing flight, was it a good idea to move away from hole?
It was reported that a 15 year old was in the window seat and his mother had them unbuckle and move away from the hole after pressure stabilized[1].

> she took off her mask so her seatmate could hear her and said “on the count of three I’m going to unbuckle him. We’re going to pull him out.

Was this the right decision?

On the one hand I could see how you would be concerned about more structural damage around the area. On the other, if the plane turns or you trip, there's a good chance you fall out. Would it have been safer to stay buckled in the seat?

Exploiting QUIC's Path Validation
To me it's pretty clear that continuously variable (ie. base infinity) is optimal for computation per unit energy when you have additive thermal noise and quantization by the plank energy.

Modern comms systems are heading in that direction with OFDM and large QAM constellations with lots of ECC to get more data throughput for the same transmit power on the same channel.

One day we might get to need to do that for computation too - but for now, binary is doing well.

I began my career in a startup where pretty much everyone else but myself was an Ivy grad, with many coming from FAANG internships, and I have very high opinions of them. We all were very driven and all had things to teach each other. I don't want to downplay the notion that it's an indicator of high quality talent. I just think that it shouldn't be downplayed that growing up developing software out of an interest in the work is a strong indicator too.

Isn't that the colloquial meaning of the word "education" already?

In what cases do people use the word "education" to mean something else than "institutionalized education"?

I feel like it's pretty clear what they mean by that, without having to make it into a political statement of "institutionalized indoctrination".
It’s not quite nonsense:

“100 in decimal has three digits, so its radix economy is 10×3 = 30; its binary representation has seven digits (1100100 2) so it has radix economy 2×7 = 14 in base 2; in base 3 its representation has five digits (10201 3) with a radix economy of 3×5 = 15; in base 36 (2S 36) its radix economy is 36×2 = 72.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_economy

The idea being that there’s a tradeoff between the cost of each digit vs the number of digits you need. However we use base 2 because the cost of base 3 is more than 50% higher than using base 2.
I didn’t. I drew a distinction between experiments subject to IRB and experiments not subject to IRB, not as a function of the type of experiment, but as a function of other factors—namely who is doing the experiment. I thought this was pretty clear:
