Mmm. I think for the channels I watch for these races they pick the "preroll" option and are right to do so, because 3 mins of ads an hour would be pretty obnoxious in a 2.5h race. (For the random-settings races which can go 4 or 6 hours if the randomizer picks silly settings, there are scheduled breaks every 2 hours, which provides a point to run ads. But normal races run right through without breaks.)

I watch mostly through the Android cast-to-Chromecast client though, which might be a bit of a special case -- until very recently it didn't show ads at all, which was presumably a silly oversight on Twitch's part...

Why did you include your race and gender in your application?

That would indeed be a very strange notion.
Honest question: why was race and gender even /on/ your application in the first place? Do you mean the EEO questions that they ask -- because those are absolutely not supposed to be part of the application. Or do you mean you have it on your resume? Because... why?
Hi! Yes, "from scratch" is definitely always a bit of a funny term. I also implemented the receiver in Python, which is quite far from "scratch" =). What I mean by it in this context is that I'm taking a piece of hardware that knows nothing about GPS, and just has the ability to sample the EM field, and building up a receiver from there.

Re. slow TTFF, or time-to-first-(position)-fix on older hardware, this essentially stems from advancements in processing power.

Traditionally, GPS receivers would need to download the ‘almanac’ of all the satellites, which takes a minimum of 12.5 minutes (under certain conditions) due to the GPS data transmission format and speed. With modern processing power, though, receivers (including gypsum) can just ‘brute force’ the search space to find the in-view satellites, instead of using the hints downloaded over the air. This is the technique described at the end of Part 1.

Given market dynamics it was rather surprising that Apple ever reached #1 at all. Perhaps it will happen again in 9 months if there is some spike after the 2024 phones are released.

Regardless of volume, Apple takes the lion's share of profits, with Samsung a distant second (and I believe nobody in third place). ISTR that Apple + Samsung constituted something like 106% of the total industry profit, making it a lot like the airlines.

About a year ago, I sent out over a hundred resumes, got 3 callbacks, most of which weren't serious, and then there was one job I wrote a cover letter for because I matched everything they were looking for and handily got the job.

So it's both impossible and very very easy.

I think tech hiring is going to be a knife fight for a long time, because we're long past the point where only the thoroughly interested are looking for jobs in this industry, and there's so much money in the field that competition is high enough for people to take "towers of hanoi in optimized big o" interview tests seriously (probably because they cut the candidate field down to a manageable number)

It doesn’t sound to me like it would help you in that case, if it is just about attention.

I have tinnitus as well and after months of focusing on it trying to “cure” it, I learned to adapt and now it is better and doesn’t keep me up at night or interfere with anything. This sounds like a shortcut to the acceptance that patients need to achieve in order to move on. But maybe it would make a real difference to very high intensity patients.

Such is life. Not only do they not want to hire you from a dei perspective, many of the foreign engineers from India/China, also do not want to hire you. They want to hire their overseas brethren.
for developing countries where the minimum wage is $10 per day (not hour), $11.99 each month is simply too expensive - money that could otherwise be spent on services that offer more than simply being ad-free. if it's $1 or $3 per month, that'd be reasonable.

if the ad-free subscription is bundled with Prime, def worth it.

> Openly discussing reasons for the sudden exponential rise in the LGBT lifestyle shouldn't be as taboo as it is. It's a phenomenon that the public in general doesn't to look into. I don't think the explanation is as simple as "We threw off the shackles of religion". I think it's fair to ask "Are there chemicals in our food, or some chemical that we regularly come into contact with that may be causing this rapid change?"
People born before 1950 it was less than 1 in 100, people born after 1997 it's more than 1 in 5. I'm not condemning, I just think it's odd, and I'm not really allowed to ask why without being shunned.
I think the author wanted to compare with a similar base algorithm. They should have stated that, however, instead of implying that a basic C++ algo would typically take that long.

for sure. They are all key value stores, but they are all better tailored for different purposes. The idea is to accept the limits of the building blocks you are choosing and figure out how to support your product that way. The alternative is to build the custom datastore solution which _will_ be harder than the org expects. Everyone wants a magic datastore that does everything and usually when an org tries to build their own, it fails to scale out for a multitude or reasons. I have definitely seen it work and work well -- but it always took way more effort than planned. If it is not a core competency, it is probably not worth the investment to build your own.

RAM is relatively cheap and the impact on price would be minimal. However Apple's business model is in large part based on making money from upgrades because they can charge obscenely inflated prices for memory/storage because their customers don't have a choice.

Did you re-apply to the same places with and without those factors? Because if you didn’t, it’s hard to be sure what you’re implying is true.

Alternative explanation: you applied for competitive roles and didn’t hear back because there were better candidates, then you applied for less competitive roles and got interviews.

I got sacked at a W2 contract position at the end of December. It took me 2 full months to secure something. I have 20 years experience in C++. Lots of time-wasting overseas recruiters using scammy tactics, had 3 interviews total, and got one offer. It was scary because I couldn't tell if the slowness was due to my resume (I appear as a job hopper), normal wintertime slowdown in hiring, or a depression in the market. I took my only offer that is weaker on salary than I would like, but it seems relatively stable and I'm just thankful to have an income.
Except people who worked with Jobs closely tend to have many fond recollections of the man, his taste, and his intelligence.

The way I've been thinking about it each "throw" is a new experience or thing learned, and more you throw the better you get at concentrating your throws towards the bullseye. You learn what you like and what you're good at, and that focuses your aim. Definitely not a perfect analogy, but happy to getting feedback on this
GPS jamming or spoofing on a wide scale is definitely a viable attack! As another commenter noted well, making everyone appear at exactly the same location would be nigh-impossible, though.

GPS receivers will look for the 'strongest' PRN signal in the noise, so broadcasting louder than the (incredibly weak!) C/A signal is a valid way to jam or spoof GPS. It is, however, generally illegal for civilians.

GPS receivers operating with good practice do tend to try to mitigate this sort of attack, by (for example) ignoring signals with a too-high power level. It's a bit of a cat and mouse game, and there are academic papers exploring each side.

Lastly, GPS receivers also need to deal with interference from GPS itself! If GPS signals bounce off surfaces before reaching the receiver, the receiver might see two sets of GPS signals: one that arrived directly, and one that was scattered off a surface and arrives a bit later. This is called ‘multipath interference’, and part of what goes into making GPS receivers work well is mitigating multipath interference.

The other comment was deleted about being called a homophobe. As I was writing it I was unable to add my comment. So I will add it here (to be clear, this is not directly to the person I am responding too, just adding it to the thread).

Wether or not you would actively try to restrict the rights of the community, there is clearly some about of homophobia there.

Otherwise why bother asking the question and thinking about it. Especially when you seem dismissive of the religion aspect when that's a very real aspect that has an impact outside of just churches.

Especially when we go farther and farther into our history being gay or even trans was far more accepted and normal (sometimes in slightly different ways like Rome) in some societies.

The harm that religion has done on many areas of humanity, like how we treat woman, should be well understood and not hard to point the same thing at LGBT+.
It’s clearly the intended exchange. It doesn’t have to be literally in the legal “terms” to affect your assessment of fairness.

I don’t tolerate ads; I don’t choose ad-supported services.
I don't understand it that way.

My understanding of the underlying cause of tinnitus iirc, is that it's caused by damage to hair cells in your inner ear. Our brains interpret this damage and loss of signal as a signal; thus, we hear a high-pitched tone even when it is silent.

Training your brain to ignore this seems like treating the underlying cause, which is a misinterpretation of auditory signals or the lack thereof.

I have tinnitus but most times I don't notice it. Go to a loud venue for a while and even with earplugs it noticeably comes back for up to a week or two.
I was considering switching over to Tuta, but haven't spent the time on it yet. Did you end up moving to another provider or hosting your own?
Regular jamming just degrades the signal quality.

You can blast out fake data, but depending on what you mean by "large area" and a "point", I don't think what youre suggesting is possible. To trick GPS receivers you end up broadcasting fake signals from multiple GPS satellites, so receivers in different areas will be processing it differently and come up with different coordinates.

streamers, at least ones who are affiliate, do that. They often time their own breaks with ad breaks so that viewers don't miss content.

if you have someone you WANT to watch, 60s isn't a big deal at the beginning. If you're a new viewer and the first thing you see when you visit a stream is 60s for ads, when you don't even know if you'd like the streamer, your bounce rate is going to be very high. It really limits discoverability.

It wasn’t ignored. They were accidentally recorded as part of a different, unrelated, simultaneous, totally coincidental monitoring of somebody else.
It’s frustrating, I’ve been through that - hearing is fine, but tinnitus persists.

There’s no single recommended treatment studied by medicine so far. I’m not a doctor but I visited multiple doctors and tried many things, and I’m doing better now.

The obvious stuff:

- Stress management.

- Cut caffeine and alcohol. These substances affect blood flow of the inner ear.

- Do you have neck pain? Pain in the neck region affects the inner ear. Seek physiotherapy.

- Do you grind teeth or snore while sleeping? Seek TMJ disorder treatment.

Less obvious stuff:

- Supplement magnesium. Magnesium chelated is best. Most people are lacking it today, it is a muscle relaxant and also had an important effect to regulate blood flow.

- Ginko biloba tea or extract can help on headache and promotes blood flow on the brain as well. Must be consumed in small quantities as it has a strong blood thinner effect, so if you can get standardized capsules is best.

- B6/B12 rich diet or supplementation to help repair damaged nervous cells of the inner ear after infection.

The treatments are a mix of things that help repair the inner ear, promote blood flow and avoid pain signals in the area.

Another facet of this is how do we store telemetry data? Fully indexed instantaneously searchable seems to be the "default" these days but who actually needs that?

IDK about this guy, maybe just trolling, but when I was hiring I realized you can really tell from indirect information. Name and college name will give you a real strong guess.

It was weird because I was just trying to avoid h1-b applicants since I was told we weren't doing that, but I quickly realized that I was optimizing against indian people and also that taking bias out of the hiring process is a lie that HR tells itself for legal liability reasons.
I think it'd be curious to see the code, some example strings, and whether or not you compiled with optimizations enabled — if you're willing to share. There's no reason for this to have been the case.
