It's so internalised that people gatekeep working long and hard...

I assume the "commute -> work -> chill -> sleep" cycle is doing a lot of work, you basically have no time to even think about what you're doing. Add some kids, a mortgage, health issues, it's the perfect cocktail. The "work -> vacation" cycle is also a good one, you can rationalise wasting 3-6 months in a work you don't enjoy to have a few weeks of peace (and spend all your money so you have a "good" reason to go back to work)

In a way it's also more pleasing to be fully invested in the rat race, once you start to want get out of it you'll hate every single second of your work week wondering where we as a specie fucked up so bad
i did this recently with laying ceramic tile. I had a wooden pallet left over from something being shipped to me so I added a flat sheet of particle board on top and then tiled it. I did not do a good job. But when it was over I had:

1. respect for professional tile people

2. a sense of failing at a task

3.

(notice I also half-assed this comment)
hey old people. something in open source history I don't recall very well and would appreciate links of it is already documented...

kde was nice but not "open source" so gtk and gnome came and drove lots of contributors. i think it was around kde3... then Ubuntu and later google dumped lots of money on gnome and some designers just stole the leadership it became a race to the bottom with copying all bad ideas from apple UX. then Ubuntu parted ways and did it's own thing. then they merged and rewrote the thing in JavaScript and release without even a settings application working... and then contributors mostly moved back to kde and 5 was great. now 6 is polishing everything and building on dbus everywhere and designers already started the UX capture but doesn't seem it is going anywhere.

anyway, i don't have much reference material for the time most contributors moved from kde to gnome in the name of GPL (noble goal that wasn't used since distros didn't abandon the broken release for the mint fork when they should have)
Let's remind people that Safari was initially a port of khtml. The webkit people target today is derived from the KDE team's work.
Thanks for the tips and while the GDPR angle is interesting, but I am not looking to spend more energy on this, they won't be hiring me and I don't want to create some sort of reputation about myself.

As to your question, I am very open about the fact that I don't have the CV experience to show for it, but I am very confident about the technical skills that I do have and in general I come across as confident in the areas I know things about.

The reason I am specifying it here is to give honest context and to show that I'm able to do at least a basic level of introspection. I want to be honest that I didn't go to harvard, MIT, didn't have any prestigious internships and I'm trying to switch industries.

But I am confident that I did ace atleast 3 of the interviews and that last interview, which was the reason given as to why I would not be preceding. This is why I'm seeking some answers here.
I quite like FHIR. My experience with using it has been that everyone seems to implement it slightly differently, but it does a better job at being human-readable. It was much easier for us and our partners to work with than regular HL7.

Some things were a bit weird. From memory it had big lists of records all mixed together as the implementation of references.
Not really. If everyone would use a chromium version that radically blocks trackign and ads, google wouldn't control anything.
I know many people who do it in Germany, above a certain size companies can't really deny you if you ask for part time (unless you're critical to the system and have to be there every single day), of course you get the pay cut that goes with it
Yeah, I guess you could equivalently put a SQLite database with a view or virtual table in S3 which would give you the same level of indirection and API abstraction provided by this mechanism.

Where DuckDB will have an advantage is in the processing speed for OLAP type queries. I don't know what the current state of SQLite Virtual Tables for parquet files on S3 is, but DuckDB has a number of optimisations for it like only reading the required columns and row groups through range queries. SQLite has a row oriented processing model so I suspect that it wouldn't do that in the same way unless there is a specific vtable extension for it.

You can get a comparable benefit for data in a sqlite db itself with the project from the following blogpost but that wouldn't apply to collections of parquet files: https://phiresky.github.io/blog/2021/hosting-sqlite-database...

Of course that was in 2016 and as far as I’m aware we are still awaiting those details.
I'm a man (also from early 80's) and I still identified more with Scully than with Mulder. She was just so cool.

Now I have a daughter and she's all about unicorns, rainbows and princesses and I keep telling her she can be a knight. Or a scientist. Weirdly I think all those Barbie cartoons on Netflix are having a good influence on her, Barbie is strong but fallible, honest, admits her mistakes, works hard to correct them, does not give up. She super privileged though...

I feel like my daughter is getting quite good in social situations because of Barbie (and Lucky from Spirit, and Zoe from The New Adventures of Lassie). In any case, it has a different influence on her than the stuff my son watches, which is (a sigh of relieve) also increasingly involving strong women: Avatar (the last airbender), She-Ra, Carmen San Diego... Strong women... on the Battle Field.
How about creating a crowdsourced captcha service?

Take scans of your journal pages, split the jpegs/pics into word fragments, display a couple of fragments to captcha clients, generate completed journal entries when the consensus gets reasonably high for each word fragment.

Not sure how captcha services start from scratch - probably ask around/check with google search.

Privacy goes out the door, but you should be able to show disjointed word fragments so no one could reconstruct enough of a single journal entry to expose your more personal info unless they were very determined. Or maybe split the scans into individual letter fragments instead?

Then monetize this for other people in the same situation...
I did in my preparation and there are several mentions of this on glassdoor, but mostly from quants, which mention that they feel like they were mining for strategy information, under the guise of an interview.

I find such websites very hard to trust, as there is a heavy selection bias there and I am not a quant, so I don't know if that is something that happens.

Also, I'm sorry, but I'm not able to parse your first sentence. Is there an extra an extra comma there, meaning that there is no such training being done, or do you mean that I'm not paranoid and that weak candidates are used as training?
There’s also a rumor that models these days employ a large “safety” parachute behind their engines all the time. Some of these get so big that models become dumber right before your eyes.

To be fair, the Germans have a word for everything

Look, a man with a duck on his head

We Germans have a word for that: Quacksalberaufdekopfmann
With regards to your call for interesting language support, I'd add a very low-priority suggestion for documentation and specification formats. Plain text, Markdown, simple HTML paragraphs and sections. If a new paragraph or sentence is added to a spec, or a MUST becomes a MAY, it'd be neat to surface the context of the change instead of a word/line diff.

As the Semantic History is not yet available, how do you envision it being displayed at the moment? What sort of information are you currently collecting? Is this tracked across the project history? To that end, are you building Tree-Sitter grammars and queries yourself, or are you using the pre-existing grammars and building the language support into Asqi?

For context, I've got a back-burner project that maps reimplemented code (manually mapped, with annotations or structured comments) to identifiable items in an upstream codebase and git repository. When the content of an item is changed upstream, affected downstream code could be flagged for review. It's still early in the design/prototyping phase, but it feels like there's some interesting overlap with Asqi.
However, getting 6.4KB of data (just tested on my blog) or 60KB of data (a git.sr.ht repository with a README.md and a PNG) is way better than getting 20MB of frameworks in the first place.
I can corroborate this, with an oddly well timed recent event.

In school I had a large friend group, none of us were diagnosed (publicly) with anything. We spent a few years together and then all scattered across the country and did not particularly keep good contact.

Cut to a decade and a half later, I'm attending a good friend's wedding back in my home town at the beginning of this month. I was diagnosed very late with autism back in 2019, then at the celebrations I discover the vast majority of my friends have had their own either autism or ADHD diagnoses since we last saw one another. Our crew ended up somewhere like a 3/4 or a 4/5 with a diagnosis, from a group larger than 30.

If we were included in the study's population, would the authors have declared that we "transmitted" these conditions to one another?
Only if the trial-and-error process has no meaningful consequences for failure.
I'm in my 50's, was nomadding around SE Asia when I turned 50. So yeah, age isn't it ;)

Getting into management is definitely more of a hours thing. But manager productivity is different; it's about talking to lots of people and not maintaining focus on one thing for hours. It's a shit-load easier to do from anywhere. But at the same time, it's definitely time-intensive. When I was CEO of a 200+ organisation I worked 10+ hours a day. The hours were a lot easier, though. Less hard thinking and focused concentration, more half-hour meetings which seemed to be mostly about listening to other people tell me why they decided to do something.

I was in Germany for COVID - I can see why you say this. But that's still only true if you stay in large organisations. In smaller orgs you get more flexibility, even in Germany. You can still become an expert developer and get the decent money without getting into management. Having said that, it is easier to climb the salary ladder if you get into management. But you can never go back; it's very hard to get back into a developer role if you've been a manager. Beware of what you wish for.
There are many countries in the world which don't measure their freedom in eagles per square burger yet are totally free to associate, and they do. I cannot do much in my neighborhood either (Switzerland here) but there is a respected process for raising cases and handling exceptions and all that. We call this the rule of law, by no means perfect either. This doesn't seem to be the case with the HOA where the system guarantees you living under the will of the leadership - be they idiots or geniuses. So if liberty is defined by randomness, yes, HOA defines the land of the free. Otherwise please allows us to scoff.
Yes but I bet everyone will disagree about exactly where to draw the line between the two types of rule. It's the middle where it gets fractious.

Question - Have you ever lived in a high-density environment? apartment block, terrace row etc.? Someone who has will have a different stance on what is acceptable regulation to someone that's only lived in the density of typical US suburbia.
Serious question, how do you think we keep unemployment from becoming catastrophic in this world ?

I don't see how you'd get out of anything by an EULA.

In Sweden such agreements aren't legally binding at all. I'm sure it's the same way elsewhere.

There is no easy or simple or final solution. The solution is to do the hard work of software engineering and catch this stuff at code review time or to plan and do refactoring later when you realize something needs normalization. I wish developers would just accept that software engineering is hard and do the hard work necessary.

There's that whole "the best software engineer is lazy because he will automate stuff", but that does not give anyone a license to automate stuff in an unmaintainable way. Automating stuff is hard and there is no easy way out.

So this is how it kills us.-
I find it fascinating how smart Apple spins all these issues into something that's "good for consumers". Sometimes those reasons are built in, like with this case of serial numbers.

But also "privacy" or "security". Like with iMessage, where they cannot open it up to other platforms or clients, without hampering their security model. Or app store reviews, in place to "protect consumers from harmful apps" but very useful for Apple to tightly hold the monopoly of what you may install.

Fascinating to witness a company using spin doctoring to protect their moat.

Edit: to be extra clear: I think all these cases are therefore net harmful to customers. As, in several cases, the EU or other regulators confirm by forcing Apple to change the model.
Don't know about designers but:

KDE is based on Qt which was a commercial library back then. It was licensed for free under the GPL (not LGPL!) or you could buy a commercial license from Trolltech.

That caused all kinds of licensing problems (not only for commercial applications, but if you did a Qt GUI app your only choice was the GPL, no other license) which drove people towards gtk.

That's ancient history, but the Qt situation isn't much better now.

First Nokia bought Qt and relicensed it as LGPL, because they needed it to be used by as many people as possible to gain users for their mobile platform. Then Nokia couldn't decide what mobile platform to use, then Elop happened and Nokia basically died.

Today Qt is still partially LGPL but was spinned off as Digia that is trying very hard to make money out of it. To the point of threats on the page that lets you download the LGPL version, commercial only plugins, and unaffordable pricing for small companies and hobbyists.

Agree that gnome still looks like Apple envy.
Forget the entire Bible, how about memorizing just the Gospel or the New Testament that's pertinent to Jesus, I think that all the Christians will fail that too including the Pope.

Another fun fact is that there is nowhere in the Bible either in the Old or New Testaments that the God had promised to preserve its content and its veracity, only in the Quran that Muslim consider the Last and Final Testament [1][2][3].

Another reason it's a living miracle by the fact that many thousands of these Hafiz don't even understand Arabic but they can read it, just like you can learn Hangul characters in a few days but never understand Korean at all. It is like trying to memorize War and Peace in its original Russian (and French) in its entirety but your only language is Mandarin and the alphabets are totally differents. Heck, even Tolstoy’s wife Sofia who reportedly personally and manually copied the original manuscript twenty one times did not memorize it [4].

"Do they not then reflect on the Quran? Had it been from anyone other than Allah, they would have certainly found in it many inconsistencies"

> This has been challenging to sit around the PS5 to update the system, then the firmware of the controller (!), and then the game itself. Annoying.

if you properly configure your PS5 setup; the system auto updates when you're not using it, the games are updated automatically. The only thing is the controller firmware update which happens maybe twice a year if at all.

I've bought a PS5 and got myself the PS+ subscriptions, and have been having a blast with pickup and play games, all different genres, and the instant resume from sleep also lends to quick gaming sessions.
> Why does Google mention only ad related addons in their blog post?

Because the main goal of the transition to V3 is to effectively kill adblockers.
According to Wikipedia, Qt was open source since Qt 2.0 with QPL and in Qt 2.2 it was released under GPL because their custom QPL was not compatible with GPL. This was in 2000, so during KDE2 times (KDE3 was released in 2002). AFAICT technically it was only KDE1 that relied on non-opensource Qt.
Don't most package managers do that?
I mean yes it can be exploited but I wouldn't blame pip specifically.
You have the right to repair what you own. This is aimed at preventing companies from preventing you from doing so.

Parts are already available in many cases and no-one prevents you from sourcing them.

But in reality most people don't do that and don't want to do that. Either they call a repairman or they buy a new appliance, and this law won't change any of that.
You described nearly exactly my little place here in the countryside too. I noticed property taxes were up this year, and the electric co-op cut down two of my favorite trees while I was on vacation because they said they were too close to the lines.

There’s always something. sigh
Thank you for letting me know
Somebody I don’t often see cited as this sort of aspirational role model is Gil Grissom from the original CSI show.

He’s the archetypical nerd — quiet introvert who’s enthusiastic about his little niche to the point even his also-pretty-nerdy colleagues think it’s a bit much. He also rises to the challenge of being a leader and a mentor, and he does so with the tools his personality gives him.
Ask HN: How do you personally stay fit?
As I get older, I realise I should probably start earnestly looking after a body that I too often leave just sitting in my desk chair for hours. I'm not unhealthy or unfit; I eat well, I see doctors when I should and I walk everywhere. But I rarely decide to exercise.

So what do others in this tech-focused, often sedentary community do to stay fit?
Well, it is an element of steam engines...
I never said that all groups were equivalent, only that they are similar. Book clubs have rules, and if you violate them they will punish you. Very likely the punishment will be limited to not inviting you back, but that is because book clubs are very informal. HOAs are formal, and are formed for the specific purpose of regulating the use of property, particularly common property. Thus it should be no surprise that they do so.

While and after taking ciprofloxacin, I had pain in my hands for weeks, injured my ankle, forearm and biceps tendons, was unable to work out for months and bashed in a door with a dumbbell when the psychosis hit.

There is almost always an alternative to fluoroquinolones and next time I get mycoplasma genitalium I will fly to fucking Paris to get me some god damn pristinamycin.
This is only phase one; the citizens of Europe must now petition their own countries to implement great "Right to Repair" laws.

Important economic fact: If only one single European country (with sufficient population) implements a rather strict right to repair law, then likely all manufacturers in all countries will need to adhere to it, since tech companies don't like to have to build multiple product variants (per country), but much rather just have a single "EU" product that gets sold into the 300 million head European single market.

So this country-level lobbying in the next phase is really important and can be a game change for the environment.
I disagree. I think you two-thirds-assed it.
I'm not defending the mindset, just pointing out that this is what I would assume is going on in his head.

And like him or not, his companies have delivered a lot of innovation in the past.
There are just not the same characters. A filesystem should not have an opinion on what strings of characters _mean_ the same. It is the wrong level of abstraction.

filenames might even not be words at all, and surely not limited to English. We shouldn't implement rules and conventions from spoken English at a filesystem level, certainly not S3.

MacOS and Windows are just wrong about this.
But Linus scales to all Linux recipients. Repair laws can and will be lobbied into submission.

This is an eternal struggle for either senior or self-assured developers, convincing others to rein in their enthusiasm / hype. Plus, extroverts (loudmouths) vs introverts (who are correct, but refuse to play the extrovert's game).
> pretty much irrelevant for statically linked WASM apps

One benefit off the top of my head is the extra isolation between component instances within this statically linked app: you can be shielded from many of the ways libwhatever might ruin everything because its linear memory can be totally isolated from the root component (and vice versa) with surprisingly little overhead.

The Wasm Component model takes security seriously, much in the way that Core Wasm does. Even without everything else it has to offer, this is something our craft is desperately in need of.
"Data" isn't an inexhaustible resource, and also isn't fungible in the way energy is. Of the thousands of languages in the world, a fair chunk don't even have writing systems, and some have very few speakers left. Many are lost forever. Now ask the best llm trained on "all the data" to translate some fragment of some isolate language not in its training set and not very related to existing languages. You can't improve on that task by adding more sentences in English or by combining with learning on other modalities.
