I've spent most of my career in startups (bootstrapped and VC-backed) and I find that it's much easier to find a good fit with a team in a startup.

The interviews will generally be with the founding team for early stage startups, but even for a startup heading into series A, you'll still probably meet with the C-suite for culture fit. If you get into an interview, it's almost always high on engagement because the team is small and the mission doesn't lose fidelity through layers of management (why this role? why now? what problems are being solved for? what type of candidate is a best fit?)
Yes, NATO nations have marked Russia as the clear and designated enemy. So, any statements that that support Russia or Russians are very bad and wrong and will be down-voted. All statements that criticize Russia or Russians are very good and correct and will be up-voted. You are a Pro-Putin-bot if you disagree with this.
And no shortage of SEO keywords.
At one point, Javascript was awful to write, and to this day is often the cause of awful performance or anti-features on websites. It's not hard to find some way to be mad at it, if you're looking.

It's gotten so much better to write, and most websites manage not to screw things up. But it only takes a few of them to put a bad taste in your mouth.

But don't worry, if there were any alternatives, people would screw them up, too. When WASM really takes off, it's going to be quite fun to watch. Everyone that hates JS will hate WASM even more.
This is my experience. We use the EV for everything, except drives to West Texas — although I saw plenty of EVs in Alpine, and a few down in Terlingua(!). If I had a no-shit 400 mile EV, I'd never look back.
They are annoying but I don’t understand why they being used on a site would be correlated with usefulness. Pretty much any site that bad actors would want to spam or scrape would be incentivized to use them. (Whether they work or not is a separate question)

Big sites like Facebook and Reddit can avoid using them because they have teams dedicated to identifying bot accounts algorithmically. But anyways those aren’t working well so those platforms and their users are suffering as a result.
"The prioritisation of individual gun rights in the US over community safety has become a danger to innocents. Americans are locked in a self-perpetuating arms race that makes all of us only less safe. The exceptional gun culture of the US demands a critical reassessment of the nation’s priorities and policies to ensure a safer future – one in which it’s known for something other than guns."

> No, because people know what the term "internment camps" means in this context.

I disagree, because the topic is very intentionally glossed over. Most people couldn't tell you what internment means and will not associate it with anything bad.
>In my experience, the only people who think architecture/model choice makes a huge difference are n00bs and academics.

It's an old story. One side should have renounced their claim rather than live with the abomination, and then the arbiter could have chosen their proposal as the one true packet size. The arbiter's wisdom would have been celebrated for millennia.
It is not ludicrous. You just need to think about it.
Interesting stuff. The problem with decentralized search is that it is essentially an adversarial problem. A "friends" list or social graph would go a long way towards providing a trust framework to build decentralized search on, that way trust scores for friends can be propagated out and used to rank results.

You might be surprised what you can do even without good knees and back. My knees currently feel like a balloon is inflated in them every time I stand up. I lean forward and brace myself against the railing when climbing my stairs. Nonetheless, I largely just read Hacker News in the morning when I'm waiting to take a crap before I can leave and I'm about to go run 8 miles, which I should be able to do in about an hour at a fairly easy pace. My weekly distance runs are creeping up past 20 miles and my tempo runs close to 6 minutes per mile. This is the best I've been since high school.

As for my back, well, Mondays are supposed to be cross-training days and I typically use an indoor rower for about an hour or so, but had to cut it short because my lower back seized up. I've had multiple lumbar interbody fusions and currently have ten screws, two rods, and two metal spacers in my spine. I still lift six days a week anyway, not exactly heavy and it probably never will be (certainly not if I continue focusing as much as I do on running), but you do whatever you can do.

The biggest differences getting old are it takes longer to warm up, you're more sore at the end of a session, recovery takes longer, and injuries do not heal as fast, typically lingering for months rather than days. But it doesn't mean you stop functioning. You just take your time and build up slowly. You have to learn to set goals in terms of years and decades. I worked out with resistance bands for six months before I tried to lift barbells. I walked for four years before I tried to run again. For a long time, I thought I would never be able to, but here I am.

If you saw me out on the street, I'm sure you could tell I'm in my 40s, but I don't think you'd see me as degraded or old. I've definitely got some crow's feet around my eyes and lines on my forehead, but still no gray hairs, no bald spots or receding, and the body of an underwear model. I'm not as strong as I was in my 20s when I focused on lifting and I'll probably never be as fast as I was earlier when I was a two-time state champion in high school cross-country and still ran pretty seriously in college, though non-competitively. You have to learn how to accept some level of inevitable decline, but nonetheless do as much as you can given the limitations you can't get past.

Having used small claims a couple of times I’ve found it easy enough to write the petition. Small claims is designed to be lawyer free. There are gotchas but the judges seem to be more lenient. I’m not a lawyer and don’t have much court experience, but it was really not that hard to research and write. If you’re that interested I’d share the doc with you.

Using experience in NJ and CT the processes were similar.

You find the docs on the court system website and write out your petition then file it. You also need to deliver it to the other party and provide evidence of delivery to the court but that’s just USPS signature-required mail.

You can request cost of the filing in your claim too, and it was ~$70 to file.

I exclusively read nonfiction until I had a traumatic event happen to me. After that, I read fiction nonstop for several years. Fiction was the only thing that could help me process it. (Note: not escape the trauma, but help me process it. Nonfiction was too clean, black-and-white, etc. Too simple. Fiction presented a world of uncertainty and doubt that I could live through and thus reflect upon the traumas I had undergone.)

My understanding is that DMA prevents tech companies considered to be too big from sharing data internally in certain ways without opt-in (among other things). When this comes into effect, a website stops ranking as well.

Is one explanation of this just that search was using a data source for relevance that benefitted this website, and now they are not using that? That seems possible, and doesn't require an assumption of malicious intent.

Disclaimer, I work at Google, but not on anything related to this. This is just armchair speculation of an explanation that might fit.

Whether the failure comes from lack of military capability or failure of political will makes no difference…

In my opinion it does make a difference when the discussion started with the article in question. The U.S. military definitely can obliterate any organized state power (possible exception is China) in the world today.

I should note that I was not attempting to give an exhaustive list of “wars” the U.S. has fought since 1945.

I don’t see how Operation Just Cause does not qualify for a war. A country
was invaded and its government replaced. That’s a war. I’m from the Canal Zone and at least one former PDF member I spoke with considered it a war.
Nutrition has seen significant steps backwards in the recent decades. Medicine might also be a net negative since it's mostly treating nutrition related diseases/deficiencies with drugs that have their own side effects.

Medicine has seen progress in fields like surgery and oncology, as in extending lives of old and sick people, so life expectancies are going up.

Even the part of the web that is all about documents is much better with JS than without. I enjoy reading articles with pictures I can enlarge. I enjoy having wikilinks that open a little preview of the target article on hover. And it's very useful to be able to add documents to a list with a single click. Probably not possible as seamless on the server-side, and I really don't need a server-roundtrip plus repaint just for that.

I remember when all that was done server-side. And I remember having bespoke apps to interact with everything. It was horrible. Yeah, the rant dates the person pretty well - not old enough to remember having to download some platform specific .exe shipping some Java nonsense that somehow depends on having IE6 just to order computer parts from a supplier. Yes, it was a smaller download than just the same supplier's homepage is today, but it was just horrible to work with. I'll take the 60 MB of JS frameworks any day.

Because you wrote incorrect information.

Your logic that claims nuclear power isn't carbon neutral makes no sense. The ramp up and ramp down issue is handled by pairing nuclear power with storage, the same kind of storage that renewables uses.

Edit: Furthermore, a lot of the storage facilities that were paired with nuclear power often pivot to providing storage to renewables when the nuclear power plant decommissions. An example is the Bear Swamp storage facility in Western Massachusetts on the Deerfield River.

One of the ideas informing representative democracy is that those wielding power stand for election.

This means that if those making public decisions pursue folly, they pay a price at election time.

Irrespective of whether this specific idea is a wise one, the notion of un-elected bureaucrats making policy with broad effect should terrify us.

Also worrisome is the abdication of proper legislative power by Congress.

No, it would not, not even people who make their living building Nuclear plants would claim that. It's incredibly expensive and risk to build the plants, they couldn't even build them to meet the needs of the grid near unlimited money. It would require more than halving the capital requirements to get close to break even with renweables, and they cannot touch fossil plants.

The shifting of blame to environmentalists is ludicrous. It's economic reality, that a much lower capital requirements, and zero marginal cost energy that has radically less complex engineering requirements and doesn't leave radioactive waste behind or blech it out when something goes wrong.
Show HN: Buglab – Spellcheck for UI
Hey HN,

We wanted to get your thoughts and feedback on a software development tool we recently released. Buglab is a visual testing tools for websites and web apps. It works by running automated scheduled tests that compare every page to its baseline and notifies you in case there are any discrepancies. That means you can use it both for monitoring that nothing on your product has broken (which could be caused by internal updates or external libraries, APIs, etc.) or for A/B testing to ensure consistency across browsers. It's like a spellchecker for your UI and UX.

Our goal is to eliminate the repetitive and labour intensive testing procedures that so many companies do in their product development cycles and free those humans to do more productive tasks. Buglab’s big advantage is that it tests the fully-rendered end result of the product, not just its code. And another nice benefit is that it can be set-up and used by non-technical people in a matter of minutes.

Please use the link below to set-up an account. It will be credited with 250 free screens to test, but don’t hesitate to contact me in order to get more if you want to test more. My email is my username @buglab.ai.

https://buglab.ai/platforms/user/register.html

Looking forward to hearing your feedback.
One of the big motivations for quaternions is performance. Not only are they much more compact than a rotation matrix (4 float vs 9), but many important operations, such as composing rotations, are also much quicker. The only real downside of them is that they seem to drive everybody to this obsession to try to truly understand them. After years of using them, I've learned to embrace my ignorance. The underlying math is not terribly complex (hur hur), but relationships between interdependent periodic rotations all packed in a tidy imaginary number package, is simply not something you're going to really get a good intuitive feel for - numerically speaking.

It’s an annoying trend that people extrgrate to make a point. Anything they don’t like is a dark pattern or scam or something.

It’s the sort of moral grandstanding that developers do about stupid small stuff that annoys me about working in tech. Like somehow it’s a bad thing for a newsletter platform to optimise to help their customers grow.

And really Substack doesn’t just fill up your subscriber counts it heavily filters out bad sign ups and whatnot. My subscriber count on my brand new newsletter is at 20 but looking at the traffic stats it’s blocked out 30-40 “subscribers” and from my experience on other newsletter those will be fake emails where people put in insults because they’re offended you asked them if they would like to subscribe.
