World's longest hydrogen pipeline covering 700km, set for construction this year
> ...part-time partners (we do that with Peter Thiei for exampie, though at this point he's very involved)

From the quoted text above. I.e. more than part time partner (heavily involved)
Insurance settlements and the hassle of fixing what were basically trashed bikes. Yes, I realized I was in possession of stolen property after a time. I also went through a few baseball bats.
It's a reference to WH40k, a fictional universe where faster-than-light travel survived the collapse of civilization in the form of pragmatic tools called "standard template constructors," made to take the burden of science and engineering staff off the shoulders of small planetary colonies, and the formalized rituals of the post-apocalyptic martian cults that remembered in some ways how to use them.
Yes, and the compiler does that. That's one of the reasons that iterators are preferred over for-loops with manual access in Rust. While compilers can for very simple cases determine that you will always stay within the bounds (as in your example, where it can find at compile time that the length will always be 8 and no access outside happens) with iterators the compiler doesn't need to know the actual length and can always elide bound checks.
IIRC "Web Apps" pinned to the homescreen (which was the thing being broken) are hosted by Springboard (the shell), not Safari as part of the magic so they appear as separate apps. Rather than rework this to allow rendering engine switching, they obviously just decided to turn it off, at least at first.

Streetlights in my city have been turning purple a few at a time for months now. I assumed that it was intentional and wondered about the reasoning.

It's oddly a relief to learn that it's a malfunction.
>at a high level--that life is a "reversal of the second law of thermodynamics";

Life temporarily displaces entropy, locally.

Life wins battles, chaos wins the war.

>Indeed, when considering machine learning, I think it's quite interesting to consider how the organizing of information/knowledge done during training in some real way mirrors the energy-creating information interred in the mind of Maxwell's demon.

This is our human bias favoring the common myth of ever-expanding complexity is an "inevitable" result of the passage of time; refer to Stephen Jay Gould's "Full House: The Spread of Excellence from Plato to Darwin"[0] for the only palatable refute modern evolutionists can offer.

>When taking into account the possible transitive benefits of knowledge organized via machine learning, and its attendant oracle through application, it's easy to see a world where this results in a net entropy loss, the creation of a previously non-existent energy gradient.

Because it is. Randomness combined with a sieve, like a generator and a discriminator, like the primordial protein soup and our own existence as a selector, like chaos and order themselves, MAY - but DOES NOT have to - lead to
temporary, localized areas of complexity, that we call 'life'.

This "energy gradient" you speak of is literally gravity pulling baryonic matter foward thru space time. All work requires a temperature gradient - Hawking's musings on the second law of thermodynamics and your own intuition can reason why.

>In my mind this has interesting implications for Fermi's paradox as it seems to imply the inevitibility of the organization of information. Taken further into my own personal dogma, I think it's inevitable that we create--what we would consider--a sentient being as I believe this is the cycle of our own origin in the larger evolutionary timeline.

Over cosmological time spans, it is a near-mathematical certainty, that we are to either reach the universe's Omega point[1] on "our" own accord, perish to our own, by our own creation, or by our own son's, hands.

That's right, it doesn't matter! What's important is that pretty soon Chrome will be the only choice for iOS users as websites migrate over to requiring it, just like they started requiring IE back in the day.

I, for one, am eagerly anticipating unlocking the full monetization potential of the web with the demise of functional adblockers like uBO! No longer will Google be forced to support adblockers to remain competitive with Webkit and Gekko! Developers rejoice!

Thank you open-web-advocacy.org for finally killing off all browser competition! You are doing god's work, son.
The famously "vestigial" human appendix actually serves as a seed vault for replenishing gut microbiota after a gut disaster, I hear.
I'm sure your manager does. They aren't the ones demanding 40 hours and return to office.

It's the C-suite that is doing it. The C-Suite got where they are because they are extroverts who excel at in person interactions. They can't use that skill unless you're there in front of them. They also came up in a world where everyone worked in an office 40 hours a week. And since they are in charge, they get to choose the rules of engagement, and are seemingly choosing to ignore productivity studies that show their decisions don't make sense.

Eventually they will be eclipsed by C-Suites that follow the science as they will get out-competed. But it will take decades.
The AWD argument is one of those things that sounds logical but really isn't. Lots of AWD vehicles, I would say most AWD vehicles, are driving around with slightly different sized tired front-to-rear. Fronts just wear faster than rears. So within a few miles even a brand new car will have slightly smaller fronts than rear. The diff will be fine.

Think of this scenario. What happens when someone sits in the back seat of a car? That compresses the rear tires slightly, imparting a slightly a different radius. Many cars will ask you to increase rear PSI to compensate, but nobody ever does. Are diffs failing for this? Nope. AWD cars and trucks manage carrying a random number of rear passengers just fine without any adjustment to tire radii.
I generally agree with your reply, minus the first part. Yes, oil drops on the road where aren’t growing food, but we cannot ignore the fact that rain sweeps oil away into waterways which is awful for local wildlife. Feces washing into the waterways isn’t ideal, but I’d wager it’s better for the fish than oil.

Resume/CV: https://biophysvertex.com/Jonathon_Ferrell_Resume.pdf
Email: jbferrell@biophysvertex.com

My background is in biophysics but I am open to working on a wide variety of things. Also have some theoretical math background, and am an excellent baker.

I'm the guy you want if you just want to drop kick someone into a mess, shrug and say, figure it out. I can and have worked with diverse teams and am generally adaptable to basically any environment.
What if I've been the plaintiff for thousands of labor disputes, and my name and SSN appears in legal documents thousands of times? Couldn't that potentially expose my name and SSN both 5213 times, demonstrating them to be related?

I know this is a bit of an absurd example, but I'm trying to understand the mechanics more than to provide a realistic counterexample.
That doesn't shock me and is why I assume I'm being overly negative. I'm curious what sort of software is used by Playstation Portal or the PSVR2.

And I get that you don't want to be in the market of custom software all the way down. I have grown rather distrustful on Google's ability to not drop things. Their API discipline is not at all pleasant for people that rely on them.
And not a single mention of where he built the Telechron factory. The first and last, I believe, was built in Ashland, MA.
Recently, they put up a nice commemorative light-up sign and lit up the old clock tower too.
And to be more explicit, people already are, and the results are fucking terrible in some places. But we're already in an economic context where terrible products and services up to and including things that are explicitly scams go on for years with little recourse for users affected. From that perspective the AI just makes it cheaper to do
Making system/library calls to display something on the screen does not necessarily require the use of an SDK either; it might require quite a bit of reverse engineering work. As far as I understand copyright, that doesn't involve copying/distributing the library code and wouldn't be legally encumbered unless there's a patent covering it.
Is this stuff well handled using calendar libraries? I think the Microsoft one for .NET is pretty formidable.
I would love the idea that if AR/VR really takes off (which is a big if) that we don't have a bunch of silo'd versions of this tech that have major fundamental differences (far more than just Android vs iOS) due to the nature of the tech.

No one in their right mind should bet on building on a new tech like this from Google. What would Meta's options be if Google abandons it?

Just not worth the risk.
My software engineer job officially says I need to be able to life up to 50 lbs but it seems unlikely that this is actually necessary in practice.

I believe the term is “hallucinations”. LLMs have fewer of them than many humans.
That part was still present: You could still add a web app to your home screen. It was that it didn't run as a PWA, with the additional features PWAs get.
On modern, sane systems (meaning those running GNU coreutils, which doesn't include os x iirc), rm -rf / will refuse to run unless --no-preserve-root is also specified.

Go was designed by a group of people not found of C++ or Java, to this day Go remains a minority inside Google, used mostly alongside Kubernetes or gVisor workloads.

Java, C++, Python and nowadays Rust, are the key programming stacks.

Java has had AOT compilation since early 2000's, however it was gated behind commercial JDKs, like Excelsior JET.

Nowadays free beer AOT is available in GraalVM, OpenJ9, and Android since version 5.

A primary feature of the Metaverse as initially envisioned was having a platform for diverse virtual shared spaces, experiences and software.

WebXR has the potential to be this shared platform. But certain features such as immersive navigation that would facilitate this may be being deliberately held back or neglected.

That type of stuff generally happens because people allow it to happen.. not that I would recommend this cause you have to be ready to escalate, but, I was getting gas in SF and as I lift the nozzle a hobo gets between me and the car and aggressively asks for money. Me, in my non-fake Russian accent: "Fuck off, vermin." He just sags and walks away. Then he walks over to some other guy who is standing around waiting for his tank to be full, and proceeds to literally chase the guy around the car as the latter tries repeatedly to disengage politely. At some point it looked almost like full-on assault; if the guy took out a gun and put that hobo down I'd volunteer to stick around to be a friendly witness for him.

I don't understand why American society tolerates this kind of stuff. Watching movies like Easy Rider, you can see the opposite extreme of the society/the law treating any strangers and outsiders poorly, but I wonder if the current attitudes swung /too/ far in the opposite direction.

Regardless, given that's how most people are socialized, I am not surprised they don't like public services that are disproportionately used by the poor (I think most poor are totally fine, but they are more likely to be dysfunctional, and public transit in particular also selects for the dysfunctional).
This looks really nice! It feels like in the last few years (probably with the increase in data science and analytics) dataframe engines have become really exciting, its very cool to see so much innovation in the field.

One thing i haven't seen yet and I'd be really interested in knowing if column level type hinting is on the plan at all for this (or any similar tools)?

I'm a data engineer and my team use mypy pretty heavily, but that can only really tell us if something is a "dataframe" type. It always strikes me that 90% of data issues during development (incorrect joins, column misspellings or non-type appropriate operations, not factoring in nulls) would be eliminated if mypy had information of the columns and their data types.
Go and Python have OK enums. I will use them, but they could be simpler/more expressive. This begs the question: Is there an obstacle to releasing better enums in the next Python and Go versions? If the concern is about breaking backwards compatibility, I would be OK with a new type. Is it a culture issue, ie that Python and Go programmers don't use enums much? (Chick + egg here)

Rust's enums are great. No "auto" boilerplate if not mapping to an integer, exhaustive pattern-matching, sub-types etc.
It's nice that individuals can do things like clean the streets ...

But how about we actually fund street sweeping at a level that this isn't necessary?
> For support, the Progressive Web Apps will still need to be built on WebKit, with all that entails.

They are not opening PWA's to other browser engines.
No it wouldn't, this is a fundamental misunderstanding of what mining is - the difficulty of mining scales automatically. Bitcoin went from CPU to GPU to ASIC and had massive efficiency improvements at each stage, but the total power consumption has only gone up. The nature of mining is that it prevents Sybil attacks by tethering consensus decisions to scarce physical resources, and so it only works if it keeps those resources scarce - the faster a block is mined, the more difficult the next one will be to keep the rate of blocks relatively constant.
The individuals will get taxed on capital gains afaik. We could also tax unrealized gains (just like we do gains on property)!
Thanks, this is exactly how I'm thinking about this! And actually, beyond just having a certain "innovation budget" (which is true) I also just personally want a language that's aggressively simple (a subjective measure). I'm trying hard to make something that will fit in my head in the end.
it sounds like small amount in grand scheme of things..
As an example, I like to point people at https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/cell/struct.UnsafeCell.html which for many years now has contained this line:

> The precise Rust aliasing rules are somewhat in flux, but the main points are not contentious

I've sometimes found myself in situations where the only way I've been able to deal with this is to check the compiler's output and trawl forums for hints by Rust's developers about what they think/hope the semantics are/will be.

Historically speaking, this situation isn't uncommon: working out exactly what a language's semantics should be is hard, particularly when it has many novel aspects. Most major languages go through this sort of sequence. Some sooner or later than others --- and some end up addressing it more thoroughly than others). Eventually I expect Rust to develop something similar to the modern C spec, but we're not there yet.
Employer and employee should be free to negotiate whatever arrangement is mutually agreeable. I don't think there needs to be any more to it than that
Really great research work from Kay Ousterhout. Sparrow extends the "power of two choices" [1] to a more general formulation, and makes it really cheap to find very good choices (i.e., low-load servers) to run a task, without having to check the load on every server. As the number of tasks and number of servers grow, keeping an accurate picture of the load on every server makes the scheduler become a bottleneck. Kay's work showed a very interesting point in this design space for fast and high-quality scheduling.

Her PhD work went on to really understand the performance of complex distributed programs, like large Spark jobs, and a lot of at least earlier performance instrumentation in Spark is due to her.[2]

Well, there is a reason why the government let monopolies thrive (apart from the classic lobby): It's because that makes their companies global champions, giving them muscle to win abroad.

It is actually a good thing that EU is cracking on those. I just wish it was faster and that other regions/countries would join forces and do the same. Leave those companies to exploit just the US.

This is especially concerning because many businesses use Docusign for job paperwork. If you want/need a job and they use Docusign there’s no getting around this. If you need to eat you’re forced to sign away your data to train AI.
I don't get the part about custom mutators:

> If the data can’t be parsed into a valid TLV, instead of throwing it away, return a syntactically correct dummy TLV. This can be anything, as long as it can be successfully unpacked.

If you're creating a dummy value, how is that better than failing? How does that give your fuzzer better coverage?
In some use cases the company is paying for the encoding, but the client is doing the decoding. As long as the client can decode the handful of images on the page fast enough for the human to not notice, its fine. Meanwhile any percentage improvement for encoding can save real money.

It remembers me the why i don't want to work in tech, people do thislol
We are not saying the war was just. It was not a just war.

We are saying the US military, as an organization, takes targeting decisions seriously and slowly.
That might be the first recorded case of a subpar headline detracting from actual quality content :)

DeviantArt | Senior Site Reliability Engineer/Senior DevOps Engineer/Senior Infrastructure Engineer | US/Canada - West Coast/Mountain Time (Fully REMOTE but must be in one of those time zones) or Tel Aviv Israel (ONSITE) | Full-Time | https://deviantart.com

DeviantArt was founded in 2000 and has been a part of Wix since 2017. It is the largest online social network for artists and art enthusiasts. For emerging and established artists, DeviantArt is the foremost platform to exhibit, promote, and share works with an enthusiastic, art-centric community. We have over 86 million registered users worldwide, and our users -- lovingly referred to as “deviants” -- upload tens of thousands of original pieces of art every day, from more traditional art like painting and sculpture, to digital art, pixel art, films, anime, and AI art.

The DevOps team is a very small remote team that performs all tasks normally inclusive of SRE/DevOps/Infrastructure Engineers, with a bit of database administration mixed in. We are responsible for the day-to-day management of large-scale, mission-critical production systems that run on a public cloud. We automate, manage, and maintain the global infrastructure that makes DeviantArt tick. We respond to and mitigate all system issues. We develop and support the developer environment, and build and maintain CI/CD pipelines.

This job requires generalist knowledge of a large complicated site infrastructure, excellent linux command line skills, some database skills, and an enjoyment of troubleshooting and solving complex issues, sometimes during system events and outages.

I think the key here is “at their jobs and careers”. New generations just don’t see their careers as the center of their livelihood. Their goals have nothing to do with climbing the ladder. It’s not a victim mentality to just refuse to participate in a rigged game, especially when there are other games to play. A job is a thing you do so you can live, that’s it.
Yeah, but it's still a matter of supply, no? It'd be like me seeking 1m/year salary as someone with 5 years of experience and no clout. I'm sure there are 1m/yr salary jobs, but I' m nowhere near qualified enough to be taken seriously there.

It's likewise in how I was willing to relocate 5 years ago for my first job. Because I wanted to take any opportunity and many others would pass me over. There's enough supply and enough talent on my end that I no longer need to relocate (plus I lucked out into a house. I'd need to literally triple my salary to justify moving and maintaining this kind of QoL if I was recruited into Silicon Valley), but I haven't seen the same prospects with part time, decently compensated tech work. I've looked out of curiosity due to long term plans, but it doesn't seem to be publicly advertised.
This study is a perfect fit the HN crowd who won't question the methodology and incentive systems because it fits their narrative.

Of course employee are going to report happy. What next? a study saying "Employees love more money for the same work?"
That sounds delightful. :0
Well sort of. Christian holidays were originally based on the same cycle as the Jewish Holidays but then the church fathers didn't like having to go ask the nearest Rabbi when their holidays were and tried to do it algorithmicly with absolutely no consoltation with anyone that knew anything about time keeping or astronomy and invented the ecclesiastical equinox (always March 21), and ecclesiastical full moon, neither of which bares relation to any astronomical event.
