I’d love to see anyone in this thread suggest some laptops with similar specs and build quality to the current gen offerings from
Apple, especially devices that run Linux or a BSD.

Same with iPhones: is there any Android phone that approaches the lifespan of the iPhone?

Both devices should be brand new and supported with updates and warranty. I don’t want a used ThinkPad.
You might not want to hear this but no one does this. Should they? probably. But most people don't use Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V in the first place for SO answers.

Not the actor but Bourne's passport from the movie? Interesting.
even if this is technical article, the title is very clickbaity.
I worked at <large tech company everyone hates> and we had this exact architecture. The senior engineer (who went to Stanford and was proud of it) designed this system. I had long arguments with him about how this system wouldn't scale when we launched it, and used real production data to prove that it would happen. No one listened to me, it launched and imploded within a few weeks, and soon after I transferred off the team. The worst part is, that senior engineer was eventually promoted and that system was passed off to an entirely new team to battle with. That entire system was terribly designed, and I think you can guess why.
The listed producer, “Flus” was Albini’s cat. That’s how punk Blake and the gang were - didn’t even list their indie-famous producer on their most popular album. Punk as fuck.

As to why, it’s a fantastic example of what Albini did best - it sounds like a real band, raw and live, both melodic and rough around the edges. The guitar sound, iconic, but in the service of the songs. There’s a kind of efficiency to the album - like, no wasted fat, audio gimmick, etc… the Alpinist of punk, bring nothing you don’t need.

Can’t wait for someone to generate a version of Nevermind with the production of 24 Hour…
We were using the compass for navigation for thousands of years, without any clue about what it was doing or why. Ofcourse lot of people got lost cause compasses are not perfect. And the same will happen here. Theory of Bounded Rationality applies.
In that case they would just use a non-DJI drone.
C# does a much better job of calling into C Code. All the programmer has to do is either write a extern function with the "DllImport" attribute, or they can turn a raw function pointer into a delegate. (Or even directly use a function pointer in newer versions of C#)
For some reason , but a lot of of the answers here seem to care more about "but tell em /I/ solved it" re: attribution rather than helping the user. Somewhat egoist or some such? ( and I don't mean it as an aggressive tone, just ESL so don't know how to say it othrewise)

If I license something as MIT, I personally don't care who uses it for what purpose, hell I don't even care generally that they attribute me. I put it out for people to use. But maybe that's just me.
This isn't specified well enough to get detailed criticism. I don't know what you're hashing exactly but I think it includes purchase time. Depending on resolution of {Time of purchase of lottery} it might be very easy to manipulate.
Given the grind has already been specified as an espresso-level of fineness (we're talking about a cold brew recipe), most of the grinds are going to be able to get through the metal filter.

The original suggestion of plunging slowly and gently is entirely sensible, since it's the only variable available in the context.
The so-called "tech" companies love to tell the world, especially their advertiser customers, how they know "everything" about the people who use their websites, with ridicuouls claims such as knowing more about users than users' own friends and family. Certainly the knowledge they claim to have would include the age. If not, then any claims by so-called "tech" companies that they can serve targeted advertising to people in a certain age bracket are false.

Whereas if their claims are true, and they do know the age of their website users, then these so-called "tech" companies can solve this problem without needing to do age verfication. By not targeting people in certain age brackets with certain content, they can stop the politicians from proposing legislation that requires age verification. But they refuse to do so.

Interesting.
why should DJI care?
Fred Brooks discussed this in the 70s.

A software system is ~3 times harder than a weekend-garage program, and a software product is ~3 times harder than a software system, so you're at 9 times the work before even starting to go into all the work marketing and selling it and doing the internal overhead work to make sure that the organization is ready to sell and support the new product when it's ready...

Also a billion dollar company has a lot more to loose than a few interesting weirdos working on a weekend project, and so rightly expect more risk management reviews.
Impressive. I'd love to know why you chose to go open-source.
He never said he goes to the CEO.

This story is about the CTO having a dumb idea and literally no one pushing back on the plan, with the only people suffering are the (relative) grunts. There's ways to respectively raise flags here.

The answer isn't to go to the CEO, the answer is to not be a drone-like yes-person.
Yes it does. If I am belittled instead of people asking clarifying questions so I can learn, I'm much less likely to think better of said people or platform, or use it.
Well if the book was doing well, I might clone it and sell a few copies myself

Let's be real, SO is a troubleshooting site. It's not our personal collection of code or project sources.

I don't expect to be paid when someone asks me for directions, and I'm sure lonely planet didn't source their guides 100% organically either.
Do this after you've built it.
I think this glamorizes and engenders an unhealthy relationship to work. “Rock star” and “ninja coder” works the same lever Steve Jobs used in the 70s to take advantage of smart people without enough sense of self worth.

And don’t lie to people.
What if I read your answers, claimed I learned everything myself, and sold my skills to a company for money?
I'm trying to figure out where you are getting this "go above the CTO's head to the CEO" situation from the message you are replying to?

I am not the person you are replying to, but I've definitely made a stink my boss about my people being overworked. If the person from the original article went to the CTO and said "look, my people need a week off, but we will still have the software delivered on schedule", that would have been the right solution, not lying to your boss.
I wouldn't be too surprised if they're real, and yeah it's pretty gross.

Albini was a well known edgelord in his 20s, and liked to say shocking bullshit to provoke & upset people. It's hard to say if this is evidence of anything beyond that.

He has been very apologetic for at least some of his past antics, band names, lyrics.

never underestimate how little appetite management (or anyone really) can have for good ideas when they are stressed (eg a time crunch).
I find it deeply troubling that platforms are becoming so hostile that users are having to strike against the owners by mass deleting their content. And then the platforms handle this by simply undeleting the content and banning them from continuing to delete any more (StackOverflow, Reddit)

This may also be legally dubious in Europe as, while the authors may have granted copy rights to the platform owners, they still maintain their moral rights which may apply in this case (IANAL)

It should be quite possible to validate this way, although I would need to implement more ISA specific fences and features.

As mentioned in a sibling comment, I've moved away from the idea of building a model in Clojure and implementing separately, to a system in Rust where the model is the program with a compile time switch.

There were too many ways to introduce careless errors when doing a port. Although the opposite approach would have been to ingest compiled programs directly, or move to something higher level like WASM (once it gets more than SeqCst atomics).
Classic essay in this vein:

>Can a biologist fix a radio? — Or, what I learned while studying apoptosis

https://www.cell.com/cancer-cell/pdf/S1535-6108(02)00133-2.p...

>However, if the radio has tunable components, such as those
found in my old radio (indicated by yellow arrows in Figure 2,
inset) and in all live cells and organisms, the outcome will not be
so promising. Indeed, the radio may not work because several
components are not tuned properly, which is not reflected in their
appearance or their connections. What is the probability that this
radio will be fixed by our biologists? I might be overly pessimistic,
but a textbook example of the monkey that can, in principle, type
a Burns poem comes to mind. In other words, the radio will not
play music unless that lucky chance meets a prepared mind.
A New Kind Of Science?
As long as the state pays their bills why should they care about solving the issue?
This is not my experience with Apple at all.
I have close to 15y of experience now, and I've mostly only worked on healthy companies - I can think of 1 that wasn't. I have worked in ~8 companies give or take.
Would it help, though, even in the short term? Making an actual `ticket` table really isn't that much work. If for some reason it is, you can always use an array type, or even shove JSON into a text column. Even if you're not thinking further than an MVP—hell, further than 5pm—one column=one ticket seems the most awkward and difficult solution I can think of.
Do VCs add value? "Value Neutral Money Is All You Need" and VC as an equation
Hi. I'm a VC named Maria Palma. This is my first Hacker News post so sorry if I mess it up. :) I've worked as a VC in the US and Europe and am currently in SF. I wrote this as a play on the Attention is All You Need paper for fun last fall and decided to post this. Feedback welcome and encouraged in the comments.
>As a developer, if you offer me StackOverflow vs ChatGPT, I'd take StackOverflow any day of the week 100x over.

Really? Hm, I wouldn't. I can use nuance and clarify my answers and have a respectable back and forth (GPT-4 doesn't call me names when I mess up or say something dumb) and arrive at an answer.
If I'm not mistaken, the whole society is getting wealthier, it's just some people are getting wealthier faster than the others - so it's still a sum-positive.

> Earlier on, people would tell the CTO it wasn't working out, instead of lying and saying the opposite.

I have done this, also have brass balls and dont give a fuck. EDIT: I mean tell the truth, so rare to not hide the fuck up. See MS security memo.

> There wouldn't be marathon whip-cracking over the holidays, especially not after the team was already burning out.

Ha ha ha ha ha... Ok this is partly true. IF you work in a BANK or in a FAANG then yes. If you work in any company that has "startup culture" forget it. The thing is that skin in the game (real skin) will change your attitude about work pretty quick. I dont think there are many companies where you will get it and have the opportunity to see that.

> But the way this story is told, it sounds like the manager/lead outright lied repeatedly up the chain of command, which is generally considered very-bad, in both healthy and unhealthy companies.

Do you know how many times I have been the cowboy who got some shit done in the dark of night cause it needed to happen? Most of the people I know who are good have gone this route. Hell I have seen these sorts of things happen AT A BANK.

Bend all the rules past breaking but tell no one. As long as you aren't making a huge fiscal bet (aka more than the company or your teams value) then your gonna get away with a lot. You either do it and get promoted or you get a new job (cause you limited your ability to get promoted).
Part of the benefit for the answerer is the experience of interacting with the questioner, receiving upvotes and comments, having answers accepted, and having your name on an answer that's helped people. You get credit for answering questions on Stack Exchange sites. It's not much -- it's not supposed to be -- it's rarely of material consequence -- but it matters. I still get upvotes on some of my old EE.SE answers when my written work helps someone enough for them to give notice. It's a little reminder that I've done something useful in my life.

Having my work ingested into ChatGPT takes the me out of it. It turns me into, essentially, unpaid contract labor for OpenAI. They get all the credit, and I get forgotten. Why would I be okay with that?

If you want to write free code for OpenAI to improve ChatGPT, you're welcome to do so. Cut out the middlemen and send it to them directly. But please leave me and my work out of it.
Looks fun until both your regs are wrapped around the prop six times.

This is very interesting and something we're still exploring.

Agreed. I should have said so, too.
Fun random fact, Ahrefs is STILL denied a Wikipedia article, even though their competitors like SEMRUSH have one. Wouldn't be surprised if bad actors were involved. I mean hell, I've heard their crawling spider was the 2nd largest on the web after Google.

Super interesting article though, and a nice addition to their prior one.
Yes, and you can reply to the whole comment as well, instead of a particular text inside it, by using the reply button on the top-right of the comment.
I always considered doing that but in reverse, if my daughters ever come to me pretending to become vegan. Then, Id offer to become vegan in their place (reproductive age women really should eat red meat often).

Turns out one of my kids is allergic to everything but meat so the idea that we can chose not to eat meat is pretty foreign to them.

As dour as it sounds, I am in a similar boat. Who'd have thought that not needlessly getting called names when you ask a question (even if it's dumb -as that's how you learn) makes people less likely to interact with you.

what's amusing to me is that some people even in this thread are calling it a pro, not a con. I guess our field does indeed attract a certain kind of personality.
In the described scenario, the oil and plastic are going to be used either way; the only question is which liquid is going to be inside the container.
Yeah, I've generally had good bosses and colleagues, including some outstanding great ones. (Actually, I had such overall good colleagues earlier in my career, I was totally unprepared the first time I ran into someone dishonest. It took too long to believe they would behave like they did, which ended up extremely costly.)

Despite overall good experiences, I've heard of dysfunction like this article describes, and even worse, in numerous real-world companies. Talking about particular instances can be very delicate when you have insider info. But I think there's enough frequent dysfunction in industry, and some very common tropes that we keep hearing from people at other companies, that senior engineers will tend to be able to immediately recognize some of it.
AI Agent paper review – "Generative Agents"
Are you sure that's not an X vs Y problem???
It's prolific in the UK.

When I was a kid I had a friend that lived near HMP Altcourse and we would see the local drug dealers catapult cut tennis balls over the prison walls.
They were common in the area where I grew up, but I only ever saw one (despite being a very outdoorsy kid). It was being attacked by a mink, and they were both too busy with the task to take notice of me.
You still have to screw a lid on it, how is it any easier than simply screwing on a different lid? Or perhaps you meant “cheaper” instead of “easier”. :-)
You might be able to use FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE, but this would likely require calling the Windows API functions directly.
This is the worst of the technology. It's not sustainable will ruin lives and relationships. I appreciate the authors pride from overdelivering, but I think that speaks to some other need that's not a healthy thing to want from a job - not to mention all that time was lost instead of spending it with friends and family and creating real memories. Finally, to be completely objective about it, the team donated their time free of charge, literally throwing their value away to correct someone elses mistake behind their back. Not a good move, especially if something goes very south.

It's time for our industry to do better and not champion attitudes like this, especially in an era of consolidation where megacorp gets away it to this day and somehow sells it as a positive.

We have to do better.

"Ghilarducci proposed replacing 401(k)s with “guaranteed retirement accounts,” a program that would combine mandatory individual and employer contributions with tax credits and that would guarantee at least a 3 percent annual return"

good god! 3%? shoot me. even if it's "inflation adjusted 3%".

the whole problem is this:

- 401(k)s suck if you can't trust the individual contributor to contribute. oh, and sometimes the market falls over and takes a nap for a decade or so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ there's luck involved.

- private pensions suck if you can't trust the employer to invest wisely and not "raid the pension fund". ask an ex-Delta pilot about that one. they got zero.

- government retirement plans suck if you can't trust the bureaucracy to not "raid the pension fund". ask a social-"security" recipient about that one. my latest statement says i'll be getting what is the inflation adjusted equivalent to $36 a week if i can wait to 67. /s

there's no plan that magically helps low-income, at risk, seniors or doesn't lead to the richer, smarter, and more well-off benefiting more than the rest.

two of those three have no way out, no fix. one of those three at least has a hope of working if you are smart and disciplined enough to contribute and not "raid your own retirement fund"

> restricted those who can... actually code

Haha I'm sure you'd love to believe it - let me ask you this: Why does AI easily solve all the Leetcode problems but still can't design a decent web page? API? Auth system?

Leetcode doesn't cover 99% of what a developer does - it's like taking fencing courses and claiming to be a military expert. Leetcode skips SQL, REST/HTTP, OOP and framework patterns, frameworks themselves (React etc.), serving a page, tests, working with files, doesn't even cover basic async functionality (core to writing high quality code), git, ORMs and NoSQL, doesn't even touch devops or UI. It's "add the numbers in this array" type problems - memorization techniques like math problems and other abstract academia.

I prefer people who build products you can see and use, and have other evidence of their work online like libraries they author or contribute to.

Btw, Leetcode is pretty out of fashion at this point for interviews.
Oh, you are right. It looks like it's around 9.5% according to a quick simulation I ran.
Text ignores the whales: healthcare, education, and insurances.
Calling Tesla Enron and pets.com is totally legit, but unassailable is rhetoric?

What competition are you talking about? What is their gross margin? SG&A expense as a % of revenue? If Tesla is so assailable there should be easily named competition with comparable financial performance and a compelling technology roadmap . There isn't one. I look every day.
The idea was to list participants' purchase information in a byte array and hash them. I thought that the more participants there were, the more difficult it would be to induce the desired hash value to come out.
>> One (fairly major) part is yet to be completed.

Break this down. Break it down into granular chunks even if they are a month long. Divide everything up into sub tasks. Even if they aren't perfect even if you have rough edges.

Name every chunk something friendly and fun. I recommend classic dances... tango, cha cha, waltz.

Call a meeting with your managers (including the high up ones). As for middle managers to start attending (auditing) daily standup. Make everyone STAND for them (so they stay short) and track against the tasks on the list in the wave.

Again, a piece being added, or a piece being late isnt going to freak any one out as long as you are close....

We both know that going live is gonna be the big hurdle just dont tell them that till your ready.
