When I was in 4th grade in Germany in the 90ies, the teacher once asked a classmate of mine to come to the blackboard. She asked her to write thirty-one ("einunddreißig", or "one and thirty"). She wrote "13", and the whole classroom exploded with laughter.

I guess this is how you instill math phobia in children.

The only icky thing here is that you're not ok with people leveraging their work experience to potentially get new jobs or network.

I used to have my email/LinkedIn in my HN profile and once I even got an interview offer. People also network when they have like-minded interests.

If you are competent enough and worked in other places, then the largest probability is that you left the company by your own accord. It doesn't matter if a company is prestigious or not. It's not fun and games. It's work. People leave.

But the funny thing is that even Recruiters don't really care about whether you were fired or not. If you worked for one, two, three years? That's a positive sign, even if you're fired. Unless someone only stayed for the probation period, they're good.

> The pilots of the A350 (and I don't understand why this angle isn't getting more attention) should have been looking out the window and seen the lighted-and-very-visible turboprop on the runway in front of them.

Because pilots know that it is incredibly hard or impossible to see an airplane lined up on the runway.

By lighted we mean that the turboprop had the required lights on the end of the wings and the end of the tail. Otherwise the airplane is totally black, on a totally black runway. Simply it is very easy to not notice the extra lights among all the lights of the runway.

The pattern you are trying to notice is 3 extra lights among many, and a small gap in the runway lights where they are obstructed.

> The backstop to this really can't be "give different instructions", because whatever you pick can be misheard too.

We know a solution for this. ASDE-X(Airport Surface Detection System) is a set of sensors (radars mostly) integrated together to monitor the ground movements of aircraft and automatically report deviations such as runway incursions.

From the article:

"The obvious reason for obesity is eating too much sugar and refined carbohydrates. But statistically how much does this add to the risk of obesity?

A 2019 meta-analysis of different food intake studies and weight gain showed that consumption of refined grains increased the relative risk of obesity by 5% and the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages increased the relative risk of obesity by 10%. Eating more legumes, fruit, and fish all tilted the scales in the other direction, reducing the risk of obesity by 5-15%. The study concluded, “The dose-response meta-analytical findings provided very low to low quality of evidence that certain food groups have an impact on different measurements of adiposity risk.”"

Are you talking about server-side configuration or client-side?

I haven't had to set up Git server in a very long time. I'm not even sure if I had to set up HTTPS authentication for it. But, I can see how this may be potentially more difficult as you'd already have SSH set up for accessing the server by the time you get to set up Git.

It's been a lot easier on the client-side though. Especially having to deal with multiple users / multiple servers and having to share configuration between different machines. Usually it just boils down to having ~/.git-credentials and if necessary, adding a similar file in the root of the repo.
it doesn't "realize its own mistake", it requires negative feedback from the user to spur it into "apologizing" and trying to fix the "mistake(s)". It doesn't matter if the mistake is real or imagined.

even the uncensored (less RLHF'd) models do this - apologize after negative feedback and attempt to fix.

And "it's" only means "it is", the possessive is "its". You probably knew that, but didn't realize your own mistake without negative feedback.

What would you do instead? Threads about tech interviews are always the same: we all complain about the process with no real alternative when you want to hire at that scale.

In particular about:

> Just about every other skill that is needed to be a good software engineer.

How would you assess them better than current common processes like leetcode interviews?

If one could do better hiring at the same cost or less, the whole industry would be interested, even if they'd have to delegate some of their hiring to an external company. The fact that leetcode interviews are still so common indicates that maybe something is missing from alternatives, be it scalability, fairness or even whether they actually provide more signal than leetcode interviews.
It could also be possible that other people experience mental fatigue differently than you do.

How would something like the sdl gamecontroller db work in this context?
Yeah, a long time to get it right. But I also remember the sequencers of the 1990s, which gave you a really primitive score view, and it’s still useful. I would put up with something primitive in a composition tool, because I’m going to export it to a dedicated score editor if I want a score.

You can get pretty far with just a couple features. Like, a setting for how much tolerance you want (no 32nd notes here), an option to split voice by MIDI channel or something, and a button to switch between enharmonics.

I don’t think a score view is critical, it’s just one of many missing features here and for some reason a lot of people are focusing on it.

bash.org has given me endless laughs. It always cheered me up.

Its too bad the the top 100/200 hadn't changed in years. I guess that's because IRC has been mostly dead for a while now (no more new submission) and that the voting algorithm favored a self-feeding feedback loop. Nonetheless, it was fun to come back once every few years and re-read the top quotes.

Hopefully someone revives the site. Hopefully it's just that the server needs some love or something. Do we have any idea who is behind it?

I think you may be being mislead by the sheer _amount_ of retail in the US. The US has 10 times the retail square footage of Germany, say. Even with the recent decline in retail. The US would have to close literally thousands of malls before it comes anywhere close to the density of most European countries. Shopping malls are actually far more popular in the US than Europe; just not the _ten times_ more popular that would be required to justify the amount of space given over to them.

> America has a low-level crime/safety problem that most Asian/European countries do not.

I do wonder how much of this is more _anxiety_ than an actual safety problem. American cities are, in general, somewhat more dangerous than European cities, violent-crime-wise, but for most it's not separate worlds.

Stamps are still widely used, but these particular postcards ask for a handwritten signature. I suspect that the choice was made to require signatures rather than stamps not because forged signatures are easier to catch but because family members would be more hesitant to forge a signature than to use a dead person’s stamp. Using someone else’s stamp is not unusual and can be innocuous: often office workers, for example, will stamp documents on behalf of their bosses using their bosses’ personal stamps. Forging a handwritten signature is more likely to feel like a crime to many Japanese.

I forgot to mention that one of the Japanese insurance companies also requires short face-to-face interviews every few years. I have done it once so far. They wanted to do it in person, but it was during a COVID spike and they let me do it by videoconferencing instead.

Is low-level expertise going to continue to skew older? Or are things like Rust and embedded AI going to bring in a bunch of new blood?
That's perhaps true, but the lack of energy is also simultaneously true. Just a tougher-than-usual week at work can give me crippling headaches from pushing myself to the brink. The time after work is definitely spent recuperating, so that I can fight another day.

It doesn’t help that there appears to be a, “cultural thread”? in aviation which believes that it’s a sign of your chops to talk like an auctioneer on the radio. There’s an infamous example on YouTube somewhere of this ATC telling pilots “cle te leh” for Cleared To Land.

I have no evidence other than my ideas but the decline of malls feels to coincide with the rise of the internet. A lot of the generic malls perhaps did not innovate on their business, they relied on big brands to lease out spaces in the mall, big brand food names to run spots in the food court and beyond maintaining the space, they did nothing to improve their circumstances. Before the rise of the internet it was an easy way to go an entertain your kids or yourself for a few hours, even if you did not buy anything. Now people entertain themselves with phones and enjoy shopping online.

There is a difference between your colleagues -- as people -- with whom you can have a close relationship, and the entity that is your employer, which you really have to assume would jettison you at a moment's notice, because almost all companies would if the need arose.

Not just care about health, but they're on a very restrictive diet.

Many of my vegan friends can barely find something to eat when we're going out. As an omnivore you can eat anywhere, as a vegetarian, you can eat almost anywhere. As a vegan, at least in Germany, it's still somewhat restrictive.

If you're consistently refraining from eating, then you're likely to just consume a lot less calories.

Another factor here is that most restaurants cook for attractiveness, not for health. Adding copious amounts of butter, oil and sugar can make a lot of food taste better at the expense of a much higher caloric intake.

I have an overweight vegan friend. He eats fries everywhere. Fat and carbs makes vegans fat, too.

Twitch layoffs: Amazon-owned livestreaming platform cutting workforce by 35%
This is good advice. But it's worth pointing out that by default many of these people are heavily invested in GOOG. And those that aren't are probably heavily invested in market instruments propped up by the GOOG price.

So, mumble mumble, something about diversifying.

I'm sure the layoffs are likely to lead to a short-term bump because the markets will interpret it as Google adulting. But if they're signalling that they're afraid of AI eating their market share, then you probably want to be proactive about that.

I think what really separates successful brick and mortar establishments in a post-amazon era like the Apple or Lego store, the restaurants, etc. is they offer you value for traveling to the place in person. The Apple Store has the genius bar/tech support, displays products for you to play with, has demos and educational offerings; the Lego store has things for people to experiment with; and of course the restaurants give you a different experience by walking in rather than ordering out. Another type of store that seems to be doing well around me are game/card stores that host MTG tournaments, tabletop adventure sessions, etc. allowing people to gather and play games together.

If stores really want to succeed in a world where you can order anything online for less money with better selection they simply NEED to give value to the experience of physically going into the store. I've often thought that Radioshack might have survived longer if they got into the maker space and offered classes in simple electronic projects rather than just becoming a mobile phone store. Clothing stores need to push helpful staff and the value of trying on clothes in the store to get a better fit and look.
Keep in mind that solar and wind alone can't power a single city. You need something to compensate, something like coal/natgas or storage. The amount of storage you need, depends on geography and local weather conditions. If your storage comes short, even a bit, the amount of conventional power stations you need to keep the lights on is exactly the number if power stations you would have to operate if you never had invested into wind or solar in the first place.

This is usually missing in typical cost calculations for solar or wind.
