If AWU’s goal is to waste valuable candidate time during the interview process on AWU propaganda (involving a bunch of misleading statements and half-lies about their group, on top of that), then perhaps my personal goal would be to report every single interviewer doing this (if I catch any during the feedback review sessions) and get them barred from interviewing candidates moving forward.

I don’t have anything against AWU specifically and am fully in favor of following this tactic for absolutely any group that tries to waste a candidate’s time in similar ways during an interview.

If the candidate asked for more info on this during the informal discussion during first/last 10 mins of the interview, that’s fine. It is also fine if the interviewer decided to disclose the info about their group briefly without being prompted (just like other interviewers might mention being involved in an ERG or some employee club or whatever). But it is imo not fine to shill it without being prompted for half the interview timeslot. Doubly so when you do it using a bunch of half-truths and almost outright lies.

P.S. That experience almost turned away my friend from wanting to work for Google, because he was afraid that this was the “typical Google experience.” I had to assure him that this was an outlier and not representative of how the rest of the people working here were like. Luckily, the rest of his interviewers were great, and he trusted me enough to believe me about this not being normal, so he took the offer once he got it.
> ...restaurants giving you a glass of water with your meal...

Seriously?

The average person in the westernised world probably uses something between 100 to 400 litres of water for washing and flushing per day, personal use actually in their house. And drinks around 2 litres in the same amount of time. External water use on behalf of that person for example for growing food and manufacturing things is even more. Having a glass of water wasted at a restaurant is a complete negligible non-issue. How ridiculous.
In the way it causes deaths. I.e. not at all. Attributing suicides to the riot is especially strained.
Why not let the customer choose?

If you can afford it, you can take your phone to Apple and get guaranteed authentic parts.

But why can't everyone else just get cheap service from the small phone shop on the corner? How does it affect you if someone else decides they risk getting their phone fixed with unauthorized parts?
I have a feeling that moderation around here has shifted in the last week or so. Usually things like this were flagged/removed immediately, even when tech/VC related. I wonder if dang changed some of the 'flamebait detectors' after the recent thread about articles that HN removes from the frontpage.
Yes fueling the Uyghur Genocide¹ is bad
as is the US fuling the Gaza Genocide¹.

House should spend a bit more time on its own conscious
And its own deeds.

¹ Personally I am not in favor of the term genocide in these instances
but since the House used it, it applies to the other event as well.
> The investor class argued that shutting down factories in the American Midwest (where almost none of the investors live, of course) and moving production to China would bring political liberalization to the nation.

of course isn’t this a contention of most mainstream economists too?
CO2 dissolves in water to become carbonic acid which causes ocean acidification. In the ocean this causes problems with most (all?) crustaceans, molluscs, and corrals by interfering with their ability to build calcium carbonate structures by preferentially binding with carbonate ions. Since many of them are keystone species, this will eventually lead to catastrophic effects as other species that depend on them either collapse or those they prey on grow out of control. The more atmospheric CO2 goes up, the more of it dissolves in the ocean and acidifies it.

Sooner or later that acidity begins to interfere with phytoplankton and other photosynthetic organisms in the oceans, which account for two thirds of oxygen production on the planet. It just kinda gets worse from there.
To add to that, for the huge numbers of people who wouldn't be able to ride out a $1,000 emergency without going into debt, who feel like they're not even the primary causal agents in their own lives, the prospect of being able to have any sort of impact on the whole planet is absurd, even if they do have the bandwidth to think about it. They don't have an experience of, "When I decide something should be different, I have the ability to do anything that could actually bring that difference about."
Is there anyone with an actuarial / risk management background in this community that could explain how this is going to impact industry insurance rates? e.g. is Boeing going to have astronomically high costs? Are airlines with 737 Max's going to also have to pay more? etc. etc.

And that you pay almost the same price as repairing it at the apple store.

The self repair program is just a marketing scam.
Laravel really forces you to do things the "Laravel way" and as soon as you try to step outside that box you run into tons of headaches along the way, and upgrades become painful. I haven't found that to be the case with Phoenix at all.

There's also lots of "magic" going in in Laravel behind the scenes and it can be pretty painful to try and figure out exactly why something happened.

Livewire was a mess over all. It had a lot of breaking changes along the way and performance was terrible for anything but the most basic tasks. The support was poor; the docs were alright at best, the screencasts were paid, and Caleb never showed his face in his own Discord, which was troublesome because there weren't enough people using it for the community to support each other. The weird bugs and behaviour were all over the place and the errors you received when you ran into one of them did nothing to help you track it down.

I guess to sum up my feelings: PHP was fine but Elixir did click better. Laravel is a black box and Phoenix is objectively a better framework.
It's a bit strange to write it on a site kinda powered by VC money.

But non small parts of American VC do either not seem to have much of a ethical bottom line outside of when it might cause costly PR disasters, or put themself on a moralistic pedestal convincing themself they know better whats right (often with some very twisted version of the American dream where money makes might and might makes right), or don't look too closely into this kind aspects of companies because the "don't want to know" as if they knew they had to act different.
Oh great, one more ink cartridge for printer manufactures to sell. And, of course, the printer will refuse to work if your hydrophobic coating cartridges is empty even tough all other cartridges are fine.
Privacy laws don't fix the TikTok problem. It's wildly popular in the EU just the same. Whatever China is getting out of TikTok in terms of data behind the scenes, they're getting it just the same from the EU as they are the US.

The issue is the fact that Chinese companies have dramatically better access to the US market than American firms have access to the Chinese market. This is a regulatory and trade failure of extreme incompetence that has never been properly addressed by Congress or the President.

If Facebook, X, Pinterest, Reddit, et al. can't exist freely in China, then TikTok doesn't get access to the US (until ByteDance becomes a minority shareholder etc).

Ask HN: How do you organize your code?
I have a new computer and want to start fresh so I am looking for inspiration.

On my old computer I stored everything under ~/code

This got unwieldy so I then had a few folders:
~/code/focus
~/code/bin
~/code/2023
etc

How do you organize your code?

Got any other organization tips e.g. on dotfiles?

If the only information I had about a personal trainer were their obesity, I wouldn’t. If I were satisfied that they had a long record of success, I would. Philosophers’ work can be and is best assessed by reading it.

I do not think that pointing out the limited applicability of your point is remotely disingenuous. There is no guarantee that arguments you would give about other fields of philosophy would be convincing. That is not due to undesirable nitpicking but a general feature of argument.
Exactly. Either government should kind of ban this, or the ones who do find less cost are going to be quite rich. Of course they don’t care too much about anything else. This is why we have governments.
ah. CREA reported a ~30% drop in average sale price across all transactions, true. That is very different than a 30% drop in the value all real estate.

If you break it out into type of home, it shows that the average price drop is about ~10% for any given market. This shows that consumers in 2022 shifted buying preferences from expensive home types to cheaper home types. This makes a lot of sense given the push for multi family housing and rising interest rates.

The value of individual housing didn't change 30%, it was mostly just a market shift towards cheaper housing. If people shift from buying Mercedes to buying Kia, the average transaction price for a car will fall a lot, but that doesn't mean that Mercedes is on sale for cheap.
If we wanted to play by the same rules China plays by, yes.

You basically can't operate in China without somehow letting the CCP in on your affairs. A great example is the automotive industry: American car companies had to work with Chinese-based counterparts in joint ventures to have any operations in China prior to 2017. Microsoft had to let Chinese officials look over the Windows source code to get it approved for sale in PRC. Hollywood routinely modifies movie productions to appeal to Chinese censors and audiences, even at points in the production where the changes would impact the release outside of China (see the remake of Red Dawn). American companies do this because they fear losing access to the market; Chinese companies do not have to do the same for access to the American market.

Well thanks for answering! I still can't see the "value proposition". It feels weird when Bitcoin's properties are posed as sort of a natural law. Like when people compare it to the rareness of gold. Even though it's a cultural artifact!

One thing I'm wondering: did you acquire actual Bitcoin, or title to it?

The good thing is that it's easily and nearly instantaneously reversible.

From an engineering standpoint, it it blocks 2% of solar radiation as stated by the article (and let's suppose we can send that amount of stuff in space) it will have to reflect that amount of solar radiation, not absorb a significant amount of it (because of heating and dissipation) and direct anything it absorbs away from Earth as much as possible.

No, it's cogent to the argument. Undermining US economic and industrial capacity could be argued treasonous.

the US has been investigating these ideas since early in the cold war. It started as a means of mass destruction (could we silently reduce solar radiation over russia and cause their crops to fail?), but really could be a means to cool down the ocean.

There are tons of other impacts of carbon, but we could reduce the solar energy hitting the ocean with currently technology if we needed to.
That's what the BBC story says. But I'm arguing that their analysis is

The main issue is that you can port scan all those IPv4 addresses in minutes. It's impossible for v6 so the issue, even without a firewall, isn't a big issue.

I know you can do address harvesting like it was done with pool.ntp.org by shodan but if you don't use any public services your IoT devices are basically protected by the 128bit address space. So you need a address harvesting possibility, and people are watching for this as seen in the shodan case, and an exploitable issue at the same time. Not impossible and you should use a firewall but orders of magnitude less scary than a public routable IPv4 address.
Yes the good old format of "take an everyday developer routine and attack it, thus causing outrage and clicks". Standups are necessary. It gives a start in the day. The 3 questions are necessary but short, they are answered in 10 seconds. All the other additional ad-hoc info is what's important.
It's not a hard rule that context should not be struct fields. See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/22602 (context: relax recommendation against putting Contexts in structs)

"Right now the context package documentation says

> Do not store Contexts inside a struct type; instead, pass a Context explicitly to each function that needs it. The Context should be the first parameter, typically named ctx: [...]

This advice seems overly restrictive. @bradfitz wrote in that issue:

> While we've told people not to add contexts to structs, I think that guidance is over-aggressive. The real advice is not to store contexts. They should be passed along like parameters. But if the struct is essentially just a parameter, it's okay. I think this concern can be addressed with package-level documentation and examples."
I think they don’t. They see this something they can manage but will slip out of their hands.

Just imagine what is going to happen then to them and their families. Of course they don’t care that much to weight the risks
Does it? That's certainly a theory, though events such as World War 1 and, more recently, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, seem to indicate otherwise.

This is an odd one though, as Argentina's shape is very long an narrow. I doubt that shape is what is needed. So just looking up something with the similar sizes based on area doesn't really help when the shapes are so different.

I’ve had one for three years. While I generally love it, it cools too fast, which means it sucks at removing humidity, actually increases it a little. The installer over-provisioned.
As I noted originally, that’s not the reason. It’s because no one is trying to write code that can do hundreds of millions of high level operations per second. There’s so much “inefficiency” in the software stack (or a problem domain where more work is being done in the hot path) that bounds checking is in the noise typically. Readyset’s experiment is flawed because any existence of bounds check on some critical hot path would have already been noticed and fixed as low hanging fruit.

So the remaining bounds check is off the hot path where it doesn’t matter. But in the hot path where you should be bounded by HW limits, it can be a significant slowdown. Prediction can help but it’s not free.

So for most people, they only need to care about bounds checking when they’re doing something in the hot path and even then only when their hot path is running into HW limits. If their hot path is some complicated CPU computation, bounds checking should be but a blip unless you do something stupid like check the bounds too frequently.

So the general advice to not worry too much about bounds checks when writing Rust is directionally correct for the vast majority of people, but recognize it’s incorrect in places and it’s hard to notice because it’s such a small thing hidden in code gen without an easy flag to test the impact.
If its just about internal networks then just use a nonrouteable IP. Its not like there are a shortage addresses in the 10.0.0.0/8 network. That is almost 17 million addresses you can do anything with. Somehow if you do run out then just add an extra router and suddenly you have another almost 17 million addresses.
And here I was excited, me, as a common person, could possibly buy a block of ipv4. Dream crusher.
Crime always has a direct link to poverty. I don't care what kind of pedantic argument about stealing luxury goods I get in response.

Its basically impossible to stop crime as long as poverty allows mental illness, addiction, and disease to go unchecked. The only solution that doesn't improve the poorest's lives materially is just mass imprisonment, camps, basically Nazi style undesirable removal.

It's extremely silly and unserious to claim AI could ever "stop crime". Just a grift by those investing wasted hours into LLMs claiming they're magic.
The issue is that trees release that CO2 back into the atmosphere when they eventually die and decompose. Only expanding the coverage of living forest actually captures carbon, and it's a one time thing. As a reference, an acre of forest in Maine stores about 400 tons of CO2, putting away about 8 tons per year until it reaches maturity. To expand forest coverage you're either taking land that was previously deforested for some reason (for example agriculture), in which case you're competing with that alternative land use, or you're planting trees in an area that never had forest, almost certainly because the location is not naturally conducive to forest, meaning you need to expend substantial resources to make it (possibly literally) take root. You can get more out of it by burying trees after they die such that they can't decompose, but this is a substantial labor investment.

With weathering, the carbon is permanently locked away and as long as there is more rock to weather you can keep capturing more and more carbon. We already produce billions of tons of waste rock each year as a byproduct of mining. The bottleneck is entirely the extraction of desired resources from that rock. If we didn't care about that, it's really easy to just blow up massive quantities of rock to dramatically increase the exposed surface area.

I was and I wasn't - and in fact we knew we didn't really have a shot at getting to the economic buyer who made the choice to spend stupid money. But that's kinda my point - most of us are talking to mid-level management and down when we are interacting as solo operators / small consultancies into larger clients. That Director you are interacting with likely doesn't have the authority to authorize anything beyond a consulting contract at $xxx /hour as they are going to have someone in finance scrutinizing their spend.

Governments don't care about "successful" companies (whatever that means) as long as they pay taxes and don't make it so obvious when they break laws that it makes them look bad if they don't react. Governments can and have to intervene if they feel that companies threaten their power and authority. To prevent that, it usually helps to lobby well. Unless they are perceived to be organs of a foreign, unfriendly government of course.
- Cognitive effects show up well over 1000 ppm.

- Current atmospheric concentration is around 417 ppm.

- The rate at which atmospheric CO2 concentration increases has been approximately 2-3 ppm per year over the past decade, as observed at monitoring stations like Mauna Loa.

If we hit 600 ppm and don't seem to be slowing down, maybe then I would worry about this but probably worry about ocean acidification before cognitive decline.

I had a fascination with abandoned places when I was younger.

Sadly, a friend of a friend was exploring an abandoned building when the floor gave out underneath him. He has a permanent disability as a result. The group thought the structure was sound, but hidden water damage had weakened part of the floor enough that it gave up under his weight.

After that, I started appreciating abandoned places only through photos from others.
