My first reaction to this was, "neat coding question for interviews". I started to try to solve it for a few seconds, then thought of when I've asked coding questions. Invariably starting by saying "The goal is to see how you approach and work through the problem, and less so whether you come up with the optimal solution". Then I thought, what if the interviewer and interviewee tackled the problem together, both coming in cold? And that was stated as such, up front? It would be much closer to the real world of tacking novel problems as a team. Taking the pressure of "I need to come up with the answer" off the interviewee should result in real focus on "working through the problem", and decrease interviewee stress; if the interviewer doesn't know the answer yet, how can they expect the interviewee to come up with one?

There are a couple of obvious downsides like:
What if it turns out the problem is too trivial? Move on to the next one.
What if the interviewee has already encountered the problem before? No different than if the interviewer posed an already-solved problem.

It would be incumbent upon the interviewer to not reveal a solution if they come up with it first of course. And the evaluation of "how you approach and work through the problem" is less definite than whether an answer (brute-force or optimal) was achieved; but if approach is indeed the important thing, that needs to be evaluated regardless. I'm sure there are other downsides I'm not seeing off the top of my head.

I can't be the first person to come up with this strategy, nor try it in real interviews. Has anybody attempted this? Was it successful or not, and why?

I can't tell if this strategy that just popped into my head is of value :-).
Another interesting question is: What were they supposed to do? Does Delta even have procedures for what to do in this 1-in-1,000,000 situation?

FWIW, upstream systemd has the opinion that no-one should load the library for startup notification, instead they should use the well documented api and just write a message to a socket.

Otherwise, the COP isn't a good comparison metric, as even for an ideal heat pump with a COP = 1 / carnot_efficiency, it depends on the temperatures.

For instance, a heat pump lifting heat from 20°C to 100°C with a COP of "only" 2 is excellent, whereas lifting heat from 20°C to 30°C with a cop of 3 is not impressive.

Have you ever designed a protocol before? I'm not referring to something along the lines of "slap these fields in a JSON" for a service that gets 1 QPS, but an actual wire protocol intended for millions of QPS per endpoint. A good wire protocol is extremely difficult to design, far more difficult than an implementation of that protocol, and involves thinking ahead about all of the possible implementations and faults you will see.

That's why protocols like TCP are designed by huge collaborations of engineering teams across companies, while an individual who knows the protocol spec can implement TCP in a couple of days.

Hi Peter,

thanks so much for doing this! Here is an interesting situation: I live in the US on a J2 visa with my wife being the J1 holder (PhD student at an ivy league). I (German national) founded a startup in my home country and against all my efforts, it's going quite well so far. I'm currently holding the CEO/CTO title.

Assume that we'll raise the next funding round (seed) in the US (the market is just superior) and relocate/incorporate via a C-Corp here.

If my wife and I were to decide that we want to stay in the US for a longer time with a path to become naturalized down the road, what's the best option?
That's a case specific question but broadly legally there's no minimum requirement.
Honestly after reading this guys follow up rant about the CEO contacting him directly for an opportunity to address any of the points made in this post, this comes off as nothing more than a hit piece. Just saying ive said my piece and I have no interest in hearing any follow up or rebuttals is just classic modern day social media journalism. Suprised the CEO stayed so cool in his follow ups with this guys attempt to goad the CEO into loosing his cool in a private email so he could plaster it all over the web - he comes accross as nothing more than a drama troll.
Yeah. This would be great if it could emulate usb storage, do transparent bridging via switch vlans, support serial consoles, etc, but it is just a case, battery, disk, and bad keyboard.
That's fair. Governments may get it either way, but I doubt they bother to sell the data - and a paid-for VPN obviously wouldn't want to sell it, assuming they're worried about getting caught and losing customers.
If I write a name on a piece of paper here on my desk, I have not violated GDPR. If the radio commentator speaks the name of the soccer player who made a pass, he has not violated GDPR.

Upstream systemd should just cut the unused crap from their notification protocol and promise it's stable.

I would be interested to see the math on replacing a cheap unit every 10 years versus an expensive unit that lasts 30. A few years ago, we replaced our 30 year old Carrier system with a new heat pump system that was relatively inexpensive. But here's the thing, the old system was not nearly as efficient from the beginning and it was much less efficient 30 years later. I'm not sure how much room for improvement there is with the new heat pump systems in regards to efficiency, but if the advances are significant every 10 years or so, it may net out to a positive.
Hi Peter,

If I am a Canadian citizen but I don’t have a computer science degree, is my only option to get H1-B?

Why either, when I first went online bandwidth sucks, it still sucks even in the United States today only it sucks more upstream, especially, when in the world of file sharing, everyone hates a leach.

Given that, Rich text support is not wanted. I would however like to be able to Share VIDEO Over RCS that's not so tiny.

Rich text might not take much bandwidth, but I'm focused right now on removing and DNS sink holing all unwanted packets. Tracking, adverts, etc.

So the little bandwidth it takes, yeah sure, but multiply that with everything else that's eating it, and it's another leak to remove.

Why is "Want" even part of your equation.

Bacteria doesn't "want" anything in the sense of active thinking like you do, and yet will render you dead quickly and efficiently while spreading at a near exponential rate. No self awareness necessary.

You keep drawing little circles based on your understanding of the world and going "it's inside this circle, therefore I don't need to worry about it", while ignoring 'semi-smart' optimization systems that can lead to dangerous outcomes.

Looking at what's happening here in Canada, where it looks like what has high chances to be the next government is campaigning on getting rid of the carbon tax, these days I'm somewhat pessimistic that carbon pricing will actually be implemented by the top contributors to global emissions. I hope I'm wrong.
I can't stand the randomness of how posts seem to be getting flagged more and more on HN. Seems like if a post is flagged and killed a reason should be given somewhere on the page by the flagger.

Are we supposed to side with the blogger or with the Kagi CEO?
Precisely. The abstraction of knowledge is a cultural staple of that ecosystem. It's great and all, but you end up with developers who have no understanding of what is happening when they click "next next next next yes finish". On Linux, that understanding is a core pillar of the culture. Stark contrasts.
I would venture to guess that most residential heating in the world is provided by non-heat pump sources.

In many parts of the United States, my understanding is that it would either be natural gas fired furnaces with forced air, oil fired furnaces (with forced air? not sure), radiators (with water heated by gas or oil fired furnaces), or electric resistive heating elements (e.g. baseboard heaters).

Yes! This is exactly what happens to me if I close my eyes and focus.

Ask HN: The Day.js Dilemma: How Should We Handle OSS Maintainers Going MIA?
As web developers, we heavily rely OSS packages. One popular example is Day.js, a JS lib for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. It's a widely-used alternative to Moment, with over 17mil weekly downloads on npm.

A critical bug was discovered in Day.js (see: https://github.com/iamkun/dayjs/pull/2118) causing incorrect date manipulation (add, subtract) when in UTC TZ. This could have severe implications for any project relying on Day.js for date-related functionality. However, the maintainer of the project appears to be unresponsive, leaving the bug unresolved and the future of the library uncertain.

This raises some important questions for our community:

- At what point should we consider a widely-used OSS project "abandoned" if the maintainer is unresponsive?

- Is forking the project the best solution, or should we first try to reach out to the maintainer through other channels?

- Are there established community guidelines around responsiveness expectations for widely-used OSS projects?

- What are successful examples of community-driven forks or maintenance after a maintainer stepped away?

I am very aware that many of these developers give their spare time for free for these projects, with little or no payment, and I am very thankful for all their work. This developer does get some money (a small amount?) through OpenCollective, and possibly also works for a company (in China?) that makes a UI library, which I think uses Day.js internally.
tunnel it over ssh?
Well, that's your opinion. The way the law was written, it's pretty clear the intent was that we'd only import labor we could not get at home, and thus it would have no impact on worker wages. I think people forget that laws exist for the benefit of the people as a whole. If it's having any impact on the wages of citizens, that's clearly not in the best interest of the average US citizen.
The article links to some help pages which clarify that, although you need the browser to connect to the VPN, once connected it applies globally to the whole machine (https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/privacy-pro/vpn...).

So if you'll pardon my pun, I think they've probably just duck-taped a standard VPN client app into their browser app.
I encourage you to try some raw file photography and processing. A bitstream from a sensor is not an image and there is no “correct” or “accurate” image from a captured signal.

Think of it like using a linear or log scale for a chart axis: neither is “more correct”, neither is taking “artistic license”.

“Prefer A over B” rules usually are problematic because what they usually mean is:

(1) There is a concrete set of cases where A is better than B.
(2) But, there is also a concrete set of cases where B is better than A.
(3) And, either (a) the cases where A is better than B are more common than the reverse or at least (b) people in the environment where the advice is developed are currently choosing B in cases where A is significantly better.

But, critically, “prefer A over B” does not communicate the set of cases where A is better than B or vice versa, so it tends to lead to the conditions where “prefer B over A” becomes the advice based on (1) and (2) being unchanged but (3)(b) working in the opposite direction.

"BCS3-L1 has four main genetic modifications:

It produces a weak antibiotic, mutacin-1140, which kills competing oral bacteria.

It’s immune to mutacin-1140, so it doesn’t kill itself.

It metabolizes sugar through a different chemical pathway that ends in alcohol instead of lactic acid.

It lacks a peptide that its species usually uses to arrange gene transfers with other bacteria."

A strain with modifications 1 and 2 was found. 3 and 4 were added to it.
This means we could check for mutacin-1140 health issues by tracking those people but not the increased alcohol in blood.

It starts off as colors moving around, shapes, like rainbows flying across my vision, or blobs of transmuting colors, basically simular to Itunes visualizations. If I keep focusing on those blobs and colors, I can start seeing more complex shapes emerge like fractions but also faces, silhouettes of people, or other more "real" visuals, then if I focus more the images become much more life-like, like people walking by the river in high fidelity and I am totally conscious the whole time. It does require focus though, if I lose focus I can quickly lose the life-like visual and i'm back to blobs of color.
