It's common to design PC boards that have holes and traces for components that aren't installed. If you need three motor controllers now, design a board with space for six, plus a prototyping area of plain holes. Allow for extra sensors, inputs, and outputs. It's easy to take the extras out of the design later when you make the board for the production product.
Interesting, why is that?
> Logic as applied to the real world is just beliefs too

I disagree. For example: how can humans operating on scientific principles so consistently stack hundreds of "just" beliefs on top of each other to achieve things like landing things on the moon, as just one very old example?

I suspect there is more to it....I believe that all beliefs are not equal, and I'll go even further: some beliefs are true, and some beliefs are not true.

> using probability for the math is a way to account for uncertainty

That "account for" has a different meaning than "perfectly resolve" seems highly relevant.

> instead of rounding everything up or down to impossible standards of "true" or "false"

Of the two of us, who is rounding things up or down to an artificial truth?
In other words, the artists are leaving money on the table (by underpricing the tickets), and then fans get mad that other people are capturing said money.
It seems like you have managed to find at least one villain in the story.

(But keep looking, there may be another).
I think this vector version isn't for me, but thank you for introduced me to Monocraft.
I've lived in the Boston area for a long time, and I'm surprised that it's cited as the noisiest US city. I have no formal reason why; it just doesn't seem like an unusually noisy city.

On a related topic, it's very hard to quantify noise exposure. We live on a hill in a northern suburb, and one of the biggest sources of our noise is the north-south highway 2.5 miles to the west. If the wind is from the west, I can aurally track trucks going up and down the highway. If not, it may be inaudible.
If you can make the flywheels flat, you could cut them with a waterjet, which would be cheaper and faster than milling. And I assume that you can use normal steel instead of stainless steel.
It used to be common to put in occupation of the parents as well.
Again, if they want to make it more accessible, they can add more shows to increase supply. They have high certainty that they can make lots of money adding more shows because existing ones have sold out (assuming things are planned in advance so they can book the venues longer). Otherwise people are just mad at the fact that there's lots of demand and people are willing to pay more than them for tickets. The overall prices might also decrease just because scalping becomes more risky[0], even if it could still be profitable.

[0] You need to buy all tickets for scalping to work. Otherwise the official source is constantly becoming cheaper than the price you paid. And your ability to sell to whales is limited. Even if they would've potentially paid up to $10k but they wait, they might decide to buy in once it hits $2k because they expect the price to settle near $1k and don't want to risk missing a ticket. So if you buy in at $1k, you've already missed selling to them. So you can only really sell to people with low margin over your buying price, and if you overshoot the clearing price, you might take a huge loss. So risk-adjusted, scalping becomes unprofitable, and scalpers exit the market, which allows whales to bid under their true maximum price they'd pay, lowering overall prices vs. a market with scalpers.
I felt the same yearning. I found a creative outlet in hardware, that still furthers my software engineering career, by building a custom mechanical keyboard to improve coding speed, accuracy, and efficiency.

The head sizes of babies are actually getting larger over the past decades [1]. This might be because of better nutrition, but maybe it is by a large part because we can do caesarean sections in every hospital now and head size is not as limited as it was before anymore.

> due to a similarity in interests or in your approach to computing?

It's hard to say for sure - both of these things are also part of being a good candidate and working well in a team.

But I do think that this experience is both because of and forms part of who I am, a certain troubleshooting & optimizing mindset and curiosity with machines. Is it strictly necessary, or will all people with this shared hobby/past be this way? I don't know. I do think its a useful or good fuzzy signal, to be best used alongside other signals.

Was it relevant for the job? Not for the job description. There were times when I used related experience to solve problems or smooth things over though, such as figuring out why a QA engineer's setup was bluescreening (faulty ram), or in having familiarity with tools built into windows for performance profiling and debugging memory & storage problems with programs
This intuition is largely fallacious. The quality of reporting can very so dramatically from one source to another that it's not particularly rare for a foreign outlet to do a better job than a domestic one. (no opinion on this specific case)
It depends on the markup format, language, and libraries of course. However in general I prefer code. Why? While it takes a bit longer to get started, you can factor patterns into reusable methods and before you know it are working at a higher level:

In the sample on the website the abbreviation inside the parenthesis is skipped leading to the use of LLMs without it ever being initially defined. Not a big deal to anyone familiar with a term but of course papers on new subjects might keep the end user more engaged by not skipping that initial definition process.

You're not limited to 6 hours per day (though that's a lot of gaming anyway). But I doubt people are playing in optimally spread out times, i.e. it's usually a lot busier in the evenings, and on weekends and holidays. So they have to plan for bursty peaks and a lot of bandwidth that can't be cached or CDNed (it's all generated in real-time), heat management (bunch of GPUs running at full blast), virtualizing and isolating every user's Steam instance, etc. And of course all the staff it takes to manage the whole thing, test games, fix issues, etc.

The other cloud gaming providers need to do the same thing, and they either cost more and/or have worse hardware and/or have publisher relationships. Xbox and PS streaming use actual consoles and are much less powerful, for example, Shadow costs a lot more for worse hardware, Luna works with publishers, Stadia just gave up before ever really trying (lol), etc.

Maybe in Nvidia's case, at least they can get the GPUs at cost, and maybe use them for non gaming async workloads during off peak times? I dunno. I just hope they keep GFN going; it's completely replaced my desktop PC.
Yes.

The number of people who both know C++ (not C) and how to use an oscilloscope is surprisingly small.

Electronics at robotic speeds isn't that hard. Most signals are audio bandwidth or lower. You rarely need all the elaborate design techniques needed when you get into the MHz-Ghz range.

Yes, optimization is disabled by default in debug mode, which makes your code more debuggable. Overflow checks are also present in debug mode, but removed in release mode. Bounds checking is present in release mode as well as debug mode, but can sometimes be optimized away.

There's also some debug information that is present in the file in debug mode, which leads to a larger binary size, but shouldn't meaningfully affect performance except in very simple/short programs.

> artists are leaving money on the table (by underpricing the tickets)

Artists and ticket vendors underprice tickets to assure sold-out venues: they're choosing to buy lower earnings volatility. The notion that tickets are underpriced to make them accessible is tripe.

I love management advice from somewhat unconventional sources.

My favourite piece of reading here is The Eleven Laws of Showrunning by Javier Grillo-Marxuach: http://okbjgm.weebly.com/uploads/3/1/5/0/31506003/11_laws_of...

It's about how to be the showrunner on a TV show, but is full of advice that works really well for managing people in software engineering environments as well (if you squint at it the right way).
From germany here. I removed the photo from my CV a few years ago. Never got asked about it during hiring. Obviously I don't have any numbers whether/how often I got sorted out due to that.

But I hope the expectation to have a photo on your CV also dies out here.
I'm exactly the same. I'd really like a large format e-ink reader for papers, notes etc. But at that point I don't want to pay for a closed-off locked-down device I can't control.
You misunderstand. Most of them aren't specifically concerned with neighborhood character. They are mostly long-term resident homeowners (not landlords) who don't want the hassle and annoyance that comes with higher density. If you want to counteract their efforts then at least understand their motivations instead of treating them like caracitures.
That is exactly why I am heading out of the industry. I have little faith in the direction and want nothing to do with it any longer.
Every time we'd look into this, we'd look into the challenges we'd have to face and see if they changed since last time. One of the problems GitLab faces is that it JOINs all over the place. In addition, while most data can be shared on a group/namespace basis, GitLab also does a bunch of cross-group queries in frequently accessed pages.

To put it differently, try to think of an application that does all the things you _don't_ want to be doing if you're going to (or want to) shard. Then imagine that that's basically GitLab, coupled with the load patterns simply not justifying it.
No they definitely aren't using my code in any way. During the interview they are trying to see how I approach building something they have already completed.

If you look at their metrics and sources for the noise data, the methodology is clearly faulty and subjective. The only way to get accurate noise data is to place an array of field recorders to sample sound from each location. Most of the studies listed and their use of subjective sentiment from reviews of those places do not use any form of noise measurement.

Something's wrong with this. It seems it's a garbage in, garbage out rating. I.e. Edinburgh is at the top in the UK. I clicked there and it has a few measurements at 5 random places.
“If you lose your 2FA device, we’ll text you a code to recover access to your account.”

This reminds me of ISPs who tell you to report an outage online.
As a former MechE, those parts look like it cost a pretty penny but damn, the results are worth it. Naively, you should be able to plug figure 21 into simulink to get the tuned constants. Though to be honest, getting the system constants will probably take just as much time and for a one off piece that’s for fun, hand tuning is more than fine.
There is a filter to only show jobs posted in the last 24 hours. But even when I had searches saves with the 24 filter applied, I still had to manually enable it when going back into the results page.

Probably because that way they can sell companies the idea "look your job post was viewed over 9000 times" even if it's noise for people briwsing these ads.
See here for the fix, which both implements the workaround suggested in the issue and also a much more standard-compliant method: https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/pull/8471

Even then it's not quite an apples to apples comparison. From what I understand, everyone directly involved in the making of this film is proud of the work and wants it to be released, it's just the bean counters and executives (who I would not consider the "creators" of the film) who want to destroy the creation for ego and tax reasons.
Show HN: Bitwise Liminal – A Short Film in 256 Bytes of Code
A Short Film in 256 Bytes of Code

Programmed by KilledByAPixel
Presented at Lovebyte Party 2024

...

I found an old VHS tape at a yard sale.
It was labeled "Bitwise Liminal" in sharpie.
But when I watched the video it was only static.

Then I started having vivid and... unsettling dreams.
Also I couldn't stop thinking about that weird VHS tape.
After researching I learned it was a digital backup.
Using some special software I recovered the data.
To my shock, it was a 256 byte program...

With trembling hands I opened it in a web browser.
Strange. This reminds me of the dreams I've been having.
Now I don't need to sleep anymore.
I just keep watching.

Ostensibly a government service is supposed to be modifiable by the will of the electorate or someone representing it. Of course we don't expect them to relinquish power voluntarily.

That is physically impossible unless there is new physics in that hypothetical design. All physical objects radiate heat and a Dyson sphere in particular would be trivial to detect. You look take a picture of the sky in infrared and in the visible spectrum. If you find an infrared source but no associated visible star you’ve got a strong candidate for being a Dyson sphere. Such searches have actually been conducted.

Other megastructures might be discovered through the same methods as exoplanets.

I've lost out on numerous jobs after the 5 interview mark, often only receiving an automated "thanks for your interest". In one case it was multiple consecutive shorter interviews with random people on the team, after a take home assignment, etc.. it's incredibly defeating.
> why would it ever make sense for Putin to invade Poland ?

It wouldn’t make sense (Russia can barely afford its current war, never mind invading Poland), but guy sure is obsessed with Poland. In particular, see his recent deranged ‘interview’, in which he claimed, amongst other things, that Poland forced Hitler to invade it (this is particularly ominous in that Russian propagandists often claim that Ukraine in some manner forced Russia to invade it).

> He only invaded Ukraine because the US left him with no other option.

… Eh? What bad thing would have happened to Russia, had Putin not decided to attempt an invasion?
Thanks for the detailed answer. If people are already taking advantage of your free offering, how would it be different if you released the source? If you're worried about another company piggybacking off your work to start a competitor, why not use one of these newfangled non-compete licenses? That still gives users the security of being able to for the project internally if you go under.
If you have somewhere you can run a Docker container, just spin up an rmfakecloud server and ditch the company's network altogether. Works really well.

You'll be better served with a more capable platform. You can either 3d print it, or you can pick up something like the WaveRover from Waveshare. It's a solid metal frame with geared motors and differential drive. For ~$100 you won't get much better.

You just need to pop in 3x18650 batteries in the chassis and connect a Jetson nano to the UART pins. It has an ESP32 inside, so you can also program that, but it comes programmed out of the box.

You can control it with this python library https://github.com/msanterre/wave_rover_serial

> not everything robot related is done in ROS, but it's almost a standard within the field save for a few exceptions.

In academia, yes. ROS is a piece of middleware for passing messages around, and a standard for talking to it. Funding agencies pushed academic robotics projects to talk to ROS so that results from different projects could interoperate. Which they sort of do. You get a lot of tooling for logging, user interfaces, wiring things up, etc.
Think of it as a solderless breadboard for robotics software.
The final product probably doesn't use it.

So from what I'm understanding, in your experience it is impossible to pursue goals for starting a startup or escaping the 9-5 once you have a child (or at least in the first several years of having a child?), and the 'correct' course of action is to accept that your goal is to provide and raise a family as your priority?
