Soooo, they don't have "access to the ocean" in any way differently than they ever have, or any other landlocked country has ever had. Gotcha.

Companies need to address the nauseating imbalance between what they do for recruitment and retention (nice-sounding company values getting drilled at every all-hands meeting, team building exercises, talking about how much they value their people) and the dystopian, liability-paranoid way they cut ties with people they lay off and fire. I understand that letting people go is a part of business. I've had to let underperforming employees go myself. But companies need to understand that they're playing Operation on human lives here. Being laid off or fired, whether deserved or not, is traumatic. Companies should offer their employees the same kind of care and respect they (hopefully) treat their customers with and want to be treated with.

The standard answer is that "your time with the company is a two way business contract; don't treat is as anything other than that." But while companies no longer call it a "family", they do everything in their power to make you feel like you belong when they need to retain you - and then, one day, your manager's manager decides to change priorities, and your laptop is remotely terminated, to be sent in within 7 days. Sorry, pal, it's just business. Then they wonder why "mass resignation" or job-hopping every 2 years is a thing.

One of the many troubling things about recently exposed patterns of fraudulent science: every dishonest scientist or professor is taking up a position and funding that could've instead gone to any of surely numerous people with much more integrity.

Permit all the cronyism and gaming around university hiring and admissions, and don't hold universities responsible for unethical behavior of their faculty and graduates, then maybe this is what you get.

And since this is HN casting stones in glass houses: Permit all tech industry fratbro conventions around hiring (e.g., some that originated as naive and classist "did you take the same Stanford classes that I did", then were cargo-culted), and don't hold the companies responsible for the growth pump&exit investment scams, nor the criminal incompetence around infosec and correctness, then maybe that's what you get there.
Particularly when you add on them keeping your car and parting it out or whatever. I got screwed on that pretty hard... they "forgot" to document all the options and packages (my car was intact, generally, but totaled due to airbag deployments). Even tires (look, I am realistic, I don't expect that to account for much)... I'd just put new performance tires ($1,700) on them 400 miles prior (yay for the odometer reading on the receipt) and they weren't affected by the accident, but the adjuster looked at a scale of "New / Like New / Excellent / Good / Fair / Poor" and described them as in "Fair" condition. When I balked at that they upped the offer by $60, $15 a tire. If it wasn't for all the drama associated with it, I'd have bought the car back and parted it myself.

> Why? It has comments, tracking etc. Concurrent edition i impossible, though (even when MS says it is possible). For that Google Docs is great (or some self-hosted systems)

It doesn't scale. At all.

I used to work at a university lab group where all 30 of us would need to concurrently write, edit and review 150+-page, heavily technical reports with lots of diagrams and tables spanning pages. To be clear, most of the time all of us were working on the exact same huge document.

Word's version tracking stood no chance. Formatting was regularly off, tables were breaking apart, diagrams misplaced. Syncing was extremely bad, often with entire paragraphs in changes going missing, other times deleted portion were reappearing, all that jazz.

LaTeX on an online collaborative environment (well-known, not naming it -this post isnt an ad) on the other hand, despite its archaic way of working, never showed any of those problems. If a table was placed somewhere, we could be sure it would never get moved to random places, and changes/rewrites would be always synced correctly (as LaTeX source is plain text, merging algorithms/CRDTs have a much easier time).
For starters, few consumer systems have the ME wired up to a supported Intel NIC to provide the remote access functionality that is usually seen as the scariest feature among those related to the ME. The processors are usually not vPro-enabled models so the firwmare will refuse to enable those features due to Intel's product segmentation strategy. And even if all the right hardware is in place, I think a system still needs to be provisioned by someone with physical access to turn on those features.

For most consumers, the main valid complaint about the ME is that it's a huge pile of unnecessary complexity operating at low levels of their system with minimal documentation. Anything fitting that description is a bit of a security risk, but the ME is merely one of many of those closed firmware blobs.
Of course. What I do not want or need is code that's been part of the

Still waiting on that study showing harmful effects due to bioaccumulation. Of course acute exposure can be harmful. The same is true of oxygen. The question is whether there are harmful bioaccumulative pathways. I’ve seen no science to support that.
it's because it's basically a quirk of one protein, which is only really found in the brain and nervous system, which is well isolated from the environment. And while it's resilient it's not like it grows in any environment which isn't the brain. So while it's a big problem if it gets in, it's really hard for it to happen in normal circumstances (even eating it, which is the main vector in animals, requires you eat quite a lot or get ludicrously unlucky).
It could easily upload your source code, add a git hook that will run (out of the container) next time you commit, create .env or similar files that are git-ignored but automatically run by common tools, etc.
I was going to give the list of readings I had for my MBA which I finished last year, but my comment was too long to be posted here.

I read a lot. Probably at least 10x more than what is listed in this DIY MBA list. However, the reading was probably only 10% of the actual effort that went into my MBA. There were a lot of projects, group projects and case studies to do, as well as real-life consultancy work, and meetings... with other students, and with real companies. And then... there was also lectures, about 8 hours a week worth of lectures, and then annoying interactive activities I had to complete each week, which were designed to prove that I was indeed actually doing the readings. Some courses wouldn't let you progress to the next week of readings etc, unless you completed the interactive activities, which would then unlock the next week's coursework. Other courses would just take a percentage off your final grade for every activity that was missed.

A list of readings is just kind of not really the same experience, even if it contains a bit of the same knowledge. It's also about how you take the knowledge and implement it in real-life situations.

My understanding is that all the well known mammalian prion diseases are the same prion protein. The disease it causes has a variety of names in different contexts: CWD, vCJD, kuru, mad cow.

There are some other suspected prions in fungi, and there's suspicion that some other human diseases are actually caused by an as-yet-unknown other kind of prion that affects a different protein, but the well-studied diseases are all misfoldings of essentially the same protein.
If you want to learn rust, there really isn’t a way to avoid learning lifetimes and the borrow checker. It’s a core part of how the language works. You can probably get partway there with Rc and by cloning stuff everywhere but you’ll still run into borrowck problems. Rc doesn’t turn off the borrow checker. (Nor does unsafe). But then you won’t have the tools to solve your problems. And you also won’t know how to use most of the standard library or any crates. That’s no way to write rust.

> Disclaimer, I am not a rust or c coder, so my opinion has a high chance to be wrong..

I’ll take a step back. I hope this is helpful to someone and not patronising.

Go and similar languages are memory safe because no matter what go code you write, go runs your program with a GC that makes sure your variables are freed correctly only when it’s safe to do so. Rust’s safety is very different. It comes from checking at compile time that your program is written in a way that obeys a bunch of complex rules. For that to work, you have to write your code very carefully. If you mess up, the compiler doesn’t fix it for you. It just refuses to compile. So you have to write your code with those invariants in mind, or your program won’t build at all.

C code generally doesn’t obey any of rust’s rules - for obvious reasons. If you were to just blithely translate C to rust code, the rust compiler will refuse to compile your program because the rules aren’t being followed. To write rust code that the compiler accepts, you need to first learn the borrow checker’s way of seeing the world. Then you need to restructure your code to work in accordance to rust’s rules. And sometimes that’s a super obscure and tricky problem.

Weirdly, I think it’d be much easier to go the other way. Any compiling rust program could be translated into a memory safe C program if we had a compiler that did that. (I think). And lots of C programmers say learning rust made them better at C - because rust’s rules genuinely teach you to be more disciplined with memory and show you some clear rules for making C code that’s much less error prone.

Not learning the borrow checker is like not learning how objects work in Python. You could write some simple programs. But you’re going to have a bad time, especially if you try to do anything nontrivial, use library code or read anyone else’s programs.
Well, not superior in every way.

If you don't drink a lot of wine in one sitting and have bottles that have been opened, corks seem to average out to being better for re-sealing the bottle -- specifically if you're placing them horizontally, like in a wine cooler. I've found screw caps frequently tend to leak, even over a single evening. Even with the hole from the corkscrew, the cork tends to reseal better from my experience.

With that said, I am talking about actual cork and not the plastic versions; Those will seep just as bad as screw caps.
You would think that on Hacker News, people would understand that being excited about new experimental tech isn't the same as being an idiot.

If the assignment really only takes 30 minutes, why can't it be a live call if the candidate wants?

whether you like it or not, take home assignments just select for the people who can spend the most time on take home assignments.

Which means people like me who have a current job and a family and can't afford to spend several hours on a coding test to make sure they're above and beyond the competition either won't apply, or will send in results that will be much often worse than the competition because we actually only spent 30 minutes on it.

> Putting myself in an "environment" also seems to have the effect of eliminating distractions from the outside world. I'm not glancing around at the stuff in my office every time I pause to think.

I found that reading glasses had a similar effect for me. It helped me focus on the book or paper I was looking at and made me less distracted by other people walking by. Of course, it's less useful at preventing computer-based distractions, since they're all at the same focal distance.

Even if what you said was true it's not okay to constantly make up misinformation about Tesla. As you listed there's enough to legitimately criticize Tesla and other automakers about, so why are people hell bent on making up things?

> So instead of running around with paranoid fantasies that world is out to get Tesla

There's a long line of shortsellers, fossil fuel and car company anti-EV lobby money in the media and just plain haters making up things, and anyone pointing out the falsehoods personally attacked.

I hate this trend of demonization of cancelling something or someone, and then falsehoods are spread and anyone pointing out the falsehoods are demonized.
I'm lead to believe the TPM is a firmware TPM and not a hardware one. Is this correct?

Even there, only Apple has effective protection against street-thieves. Nearly all other models of phones/laptops can have their anti-theft features reset by a guy in a dark alley with a flash programmer...

So far, most thieves aren't interested in your info, they just want to reset the hardware and give it a new serial number.
State minimums are too low.

I carry a shit-ton of insurance. If you're in the tech biz and have a fat 401k, you should be thinking about umbrella liability as well. At a minimum, drop the extra $50 to max out uninsured motorist and medical payments coverage.

I don't get it. How can religious people believe it is a good idea to "discuss religion" when each religion is defined by the dogma its supporters say is the absolute truth?

They never say "We believe God exists and does this or that and commands us to do this or that, BUT WE MAY BE WRONG!".

That would be a true discussion starter. But they never say that, do they? Why not? Because that would invite evidence-based reasoning into the discussion.
I have mixed feelings about drug politics and its societal impact. My main confusion stems from the fact that, while drugs are pervasive in contemporary culture (such as in the electronic music scene), they remain a taboo topic, no addressed openly by mass media. This lack of a real discussion extends to drug usage, its effects, and dangers. I also consider alcohol as a drug, and I'm alarmed by the level of alcohol consumption among teenagers and young adults, which would even shock my relatives from Kiev.

I believe the primary issue with drugs is their ability to alter perceptions of reality. This aspect makes them inherently dangerous to political and societal systems, regardless of their health impacts.

TimeScale was certainly the first choice as we were already using Postgres. However, we could not get it to perform well as times are simulated / non monotonic. We also ultimately need to be able to manage low trillions of points in the long run. InfluxDB was also evaluated but faced a number of issues as well (though I am certain both it and TimeScale would work fine for some use cases).

I think perhaps because ClickHouse is a little more general purpose, it was easier to map our use case to it. Also, one thing I appreciate about ClickHouse is it doesn't feel like a black box - once you understand the data model it is very easy to reason about what will work and what will not.
API is documentation for MAPI.DLL in this case. It is useless under non-windows system and requires this DLL, which is, effectively, Outlook backed.

Network protocol between MAPI.DLL and Exchange server newer was published (but partially revers-engineered).

And I've participated in project which uses MAPI.DLL, it was buggy as hell, and we delayed product release for whole year (!), trying to workaround all bugs. It was complete disaster and failed product too late to market.

> "doing the science" means "writing the text of the paper"

The point is to show your work. You film yourself setting up the experiment to prove that you actually did the experiment. You also film yourself collecting the results, proving that you actually got the results you claim.

The only kind of science that consists of "just writing the paper" is math. Math will be exempt from this requirement. Fake math is not an epidemic

Opposite - the TPM is hardware TPM and that's why it was easier to sniff the communication between it and the CPU over LPC. fTPM resides inside the CPU so sniffing is not as easy.
There aren’t a lot of memory safe options if you want the kind of performance rust offers. Rust is fine, but it’s far from perfect. It’s hard to learn, complex, and the macro and async systems are honestly a bit of a mess. I’m really looking forward to whatever comes after rust. I’m hoping some bright sparks out there manage to make a language with rust’s memory safety but that cleans up some of rust’s rough edges.
I wrote a purely macro-based implementation of pattern matching for TXR Lisp.

It's documented over three consecutive chapters:

https://www.nongnu.org/txr/txr-manpage.html#N-5C9CED75 (Structural Pattern Matching)

https://www.nongnu.org/txr/txr-manpage.html#N-B5350C53 (Pattern-Matching Notation)

https://www.nongnu.org/txr/txr-manpage.html#N-CD6130ED (Pattern-Matching Macros)

It's implemented in one file: https://www.kylheku.com/cgit/txr/tree/stdlib/match.tl

Starting with the second definition of the function non-triv-pat-p (the real definition which replaces the temporary stub one), the module starts to eat its own dogfood by using its own pattern matching.

That function, for instance, decides whether a pattern is "trivial" or not, using pattern matching itself on the pattern matching notation.

The string quasiliteral pattern's expansion relies heavily on pattern matching, also.
That's great but I'm still left wondering about the malicious actors problem. I thought consensus from multiple vehicles but easily spoofed.

> Would you advocate for "thoughtful discourse" on how to better integrate this fully natural aspect of humanity into our society?

We kind of did do it, though. Between state monopoly on violence, exercised by leaders and courts through armies and law enforcement, and all exceptions and extenuating circumstances around e.g. self-defense, we managed to integrate even murder into our society.

Regardless, it's not very useful to bucket murder and drug use in the same bucket. It would perhaps be better to consider alcohol, tobacco and coffee as the mind-altering drugs they are, as this should shine light on alternative approaches applicable to the same category of consumables.
