Think about if it happens (or does not happen) every 6 months and you can never plan ahead.

And daylight saving is a local problem. In my country the rules have not changed for more than 4 decades.

The other problem is that most systems use time zones and daylight saving mostly as a presentation format. Only time that is explicitly for human consumption deals with time zones. Internally computers mostly use UTC.

The problem with leap seconds is that computers often represent time as some number of seconds since an epoch. That requires a stable conversion between year-month-day-hour-minute-second to seconds since epoch.

And that's where leap second are a problem. Because future leap seconds a undefined, this conversion is undefined for dates in the future.

That then results in a collection of hacks to let it work most of the time.

Where I live, civil time is currently off by about one hour and 41 minutes, compared to solar time. It is safe to say that essentially nobody cares about solar time with more precision than one hour. If you want to know about sunrise or sunset, you just look it up. Noon is mostly irrelevant.

Email: whoshiring@brenden.brndn.io

Hello HN readers,

I bring to the table a wealth of computer expertise, honed through years of dedicated practice and innovation. While my strengths lie in a broad spectrum of computer technologies, my commitment to excellence surpasses mere competence. My journey in the realm of computing predates its current vogue, underscoring my depth of experience and commitment to mastery.

Despite not graduating from an Ivy League institution, my track record speaks volumes. Delve into my GitHub repository to witness firsthand the caliber of my work: https://github.com/brndnmtthws

While my preference is to continue contributing to the vibrant tech ecosystem of New York City, I remain open to opportunities that align with my professional aspirations. However, any prospective engagement must offer a compensation package reflective of the demanding cost of living, particularly in Manhattan.

My focus is on the craft itself; I harbor no aspirations for accolades or material wealth. I derive fulfillment from the art of coding and the tangible impact it has on technological advancement.
I used to get upset by things like that, until I realized that everyone(-ish) has a similar story.

Still, it's amazing that for all the hours of work I put in, day in and day out for years, I could have amassed 10x more money if I had just done "nearly nothing" at a couple of key moments.
Really well done! I also love the design of your website, is it a boilerplate/template or did you design it yourself?

Is this the same sensor as the rpi hq cam? Would be cool to have interchangeable lenses on this, but that might make weatherproofing it difficult.

I did and it turned out fine. Big corp might not like it, but startups are usually fine with skipping and perhaps doing a take-home assignment instead, which I am fine with.
Mind dropping a link? I'm searching and not finding anything without plastic tubing.
Sounds nice. Things would be a lot simpler.
I have never expereinced a doctor that doesnt listen to their patient. However most dont take everything the patient says at face value.

Processing, weighing, and interpreting what patients say is a fundamental part of their job. Sifting through crappy data and figuring out what is relevant.

You are paying them for their personal biases.
> Since, you know, Microsoft loves to force updates on you at the most inconvenient times.

I was going to counter that actually my car's infotainment system actually has MS beat in this department, since it tries to update (and gets caught infinite loops) while I'm driving. But then I realized my car's infotainment system is powered by Microsoft Sync. I guess you're right!
> one could lose the weight in the best possible way by correcting their diet, eating less, doing HIIT, fasting

Yes, but actually doing that when you’re obese is extremely difficult and maintaining it is even harder than that. The best way I can describe how difficult, it’s like climbing Mt Everest and then discovering that you have to live up there. Lots of people do manage the climb, but staying up there is the real challenge and not a big percentage of people do. So, statements like yours while they’re technically true are ignorant of the biological and psycho-social dynamics of obesity, condescending (“why didn’t I think of just eating less!?”) and totally unhelpful.

“Testing improperly”, well that’s one way to frame it.
Yes, and the difference is key: one attempts to travel the same distance with your left foot as with your right foot, and the other chases the direction the stars come up over the horizon.

Yes I think a little of both:

> Are dedicated porn sites like PornHub and friends considered somehow left wing?

Not directly no, but since the overlap between right-wing and religious (mostly Christian) are so significant, and many right-wing Christians believe that there is a spritual war going on and that porn is a sin/evil, and it can lead to atheism, and atheism is so frequently associated with left-wing, I think there's some consideration there.

> Or is it just that their NSFW freedom of speech isn't significant because it's not to the benefit of a billionaire that these politicians happen to like.

I'm sure that's a factor as well. No (or very, very few) politican of any ilk is going to stand up for Big Porn and risk becoming the porn candidate. Personally I'd sure love to see them at least stand up for Big Porn in the name of free speech, but I'm not expecting it anytime soon.
Of course I agree, but these comments have become so common as to be noise, making them off topic for HN.

How does the word "Robots.txt" not appear anywhere in this article.
Everything is easy if you have enough money.
Plastic is a miracle material on par with wood and fossil fuels. We didn’t stand a chance! The economic incentives to use it would have overrode anyone who brought up concerns, even if they had the scientific evidence back then.

Likewise with other chemicals like tetraethyllead in gasoline. We’ve known lead is toxic since Vitruvius but the first anti-knocking agent was just too useful so everyone kind of ignored it.
Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear your project is on the back-burner for now.

I'm also curious. Privacy is something that everyone claims to want yet when it's on the shelf next to the competition it's often overlooked in favor of the shinier, more common products (Signal versus Telegram; Gmail versus ProtonMail etc.).

However I'm sure we're only one big AI data leak away for people to realize that pumping all your confidential data into a single company for it to train on is not such a great idea ;).
Thanks for sharing! I submitted for the BD role. Excited to hear from the team.
It was one of the two sources I linked. I also linked more in another reply.

Justwatch | Golang eng (Junior/Senior) and Senior ML engineer | Berlin (min 2days in office) | full time
Hi. I am Guillermo, backend developer of StreamingGuide. We try to make justwatch.com the best streaming guide worldwide.

We predominantly utilize Golang and Kubernetes, interfacing with GRPC APIs from teams such as Content (housing "the" database) and Martech (for ad display). Additionally, we work with databases like Scylla and Elasticsearch, ensuring seamless operation even under high loads exceeding 5k requests per second.

We're tackling challenges like integrating video ads, fortifying against scraping, enhancing response times, and optimizing the click-through rate for our recommender engine.

My colleagues from the content team, are also looking for a ML expert that help us finding the right recommendations.

If you in, write me (guillermo.alvarez@justwatch.com) or visit: https://www.justwatch.com/talent/jobs/tech/streamingguide-se... (Junior offer to be open soon).
You scots are the most extreme combination of a people who have made vast parts of the modern world and people who know nothing about the achievement of their own people. I spent a year doing my postdoc in your country and have to say you guys are my favourite lot on this otherwise wretched rock.
If Amazon devs actually read my code, they would be the ones not wanting to crawl it.
I'm not opposed to leetcode questions, but if a junior engineer asks me a question literally from leetcode without changing the test details (IE, they just copy/pasted from the site instead of coming up with something slightly different), I exit the interview and email the CEO with an explanation (I'm very senior, so it makes sense to go straight the CEO).

Because of this, I have instead written my own interview questions that I administer. You won't find them in leetcode, and they're not particularly challenging- and it still filters out many terrible candidates.
I’m talking about the people the “finance bros” are chasing; the high net worth folks that hire them. They are the ones to compel significant change.

RepSpark | Multiple Software Engineer Positions | REMOTE (US) | Full-Time | https://www.repspark.com

RepSpark is the top SaaS B2B wholesale ecommerce platform for brands in apparel, footwear, and accessories. For example, we're how golf courses across North America and Europe purchase brands like Peter Millar, Greg Norman, Kjus, etc.

Our stack includes C#, .NET, GraphQL, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and AWS.

We're actively looking for multiple roles:

Sr. Software Engineer, Professional Services - https://www.repspark.com/careers/professional-services-senio...

Lead Software Engineer - https://www.repspark.com/careers/lead-software-engineer

Sr. Software Engineer - https://www.repspark.com/careers/senior-software-engineer
I might not need one, but I always tend to use one in order to shield myself from the absolute madness that front-end dev has been in the last ~decade.

To be clear, I'm sure there are "good parts" but the sunk cost of learning HTML/CSS in the 00's is something that I don't want to pay again, from a practical perspective.

If you have broccoli hair and you're new to this cesspool, of course you should learn the most recent stuff. I only ask you to take a few hours to learn what Internet Explorer was and how the web landscape was in the early 00s, now compare the current status with Chrome and get your conclusions.
I totally freeze up and my brain can't solve problems during these things. And it is the only time that happens.
Dedicated sites have the issue of being targeted from all sides, right wing hates them for porn, left wing hates them for not being able to filter out exploitation, revenge porn etc and then they also have to fight payment processors who, for some ridiculous reason, are still allowed to screw with any business with zero accountability.

I think all those factors combine to make them have to be kind of politically neutral.
Hmm good point!
> That's common to all market economies

No, you need a system to fund new companies, only capitalism does that naturally. The alternative to capitalism would be central planning, or that we vote to fund new companies.

So you would have to organize a vote to make a new search engine if you thought Google wasn't good enough, and without that vote there would be no new search engine funded so we wouldn't have alternatives, so people wouldn't even know if anything better could exist.

It is hard enough today to get a handful of founders and investors agree to make a company, imagine needing thousands to millions of people to vote to agree on making a new company... I don't see how that could work nearly as well.

Also I asked for real examples, not hypothetical, when you make up hypothetical scenarios like that you miss many real world requirements like what I brought up here, your system doesn't solve that. To have a healthy market you need to fund new promising ideas, capitalism does that via rich people, communism does that via central planning, how would you do it except voting? And as I said above, voting isn't good enough, voting to fund new companies would massively slow down progress.

Most wouldn't want a new company, workers doesn't benefit from it, without rich people you need hundreds or thousands of workers to risk their savings to fund a company just to most likely lose all their money and not even get paid since the company folded and they were paid profits instead of salaries, that isn't something they would be happy to do.
IANAL, but were I arguing this case for the side of the property owner that is the precedent I would lean into: "We already have an understanding that you can't just capture whatever electromagnetic radiation happens to flux through someone's house and consider that non-privacy-violating, so why is it okay to intentionally go up in the air and capture the flux reflecting off their private property?"
I got thoroughly sucked into this game after the jam, then showed it to a couple friends while over at their house. Nice way to spend an evening :)
NIH hosts papers. It is not an authority by itself.

The NIH paper is from the following authors:

Haseeb Mehmood Qadri, corresponding author 1 Abdul Waheed,1 Ali Munawar,2 Hasan Saeed,3 Saad Abdullah,4 Tayyba Munawar,1 Shaheer Luqman,1 Junaid Saffi,1 Awais Ahmad,5 and Muhammad Saad Baba r6

Pakistan may have a strongly religious influence on its faculty... and I'm going to ask what expertise surgeons have on the subject mater compared to the layman.
The audio on Mint with an old Dell desktop is bugging me too. Didn't used to be like this.

For years the audio IC's have been very flexible, with the analog I/O pins re-routable by software (expected to be drivers) to any of the 3.5mm jacks that may be scattered on the outside of the PC, along with any aux connections that may be merely an unused internal motherboard socket.

Otherwise you wouldn't be able to use a single socket for either speakers or a microphone, and have the system figure out which one it is when plugged in. And things like that. When they first color-coded the 3.5mm analog I/O's it was the 20th century and it was still a hard-wired approach.

With a modern motherboard the same exact board can be connected to a cabinet having 2 or 3 of the 3.5mm, or 5 or 6 and configuration could be selected (sometimes in advance) by specific factory drivers, accessible settings in a GUI, or both.

Windows isn't perfect any more by any means. Windows 7 or XP still works ideally with the original Dell drivers, but with W10 nothing ever comes out of the green 3.5mm, you have to plug speakers into the black 3.5mm. At least you get stereo then, but could select mono from Windows if you wanted to.

Using the newer Mint, you only get output from the green 3.5mm as expected, but usually only the left speaker gets any signal. Although sometimes you can set it for 5.1 surround and the whole pair of speakers will respond as the center channel. Depending on what you were doing with Windows before you rebooted to Linux, and whether or not you cold-power-up. But there is no provision to set Mint for mono at all which would be the perfect workaround.

That would get us by until the flaws in the audio get corrected. It would be good to have user access to the pin-to-jack hardware configuration too, but the inconsistency could be a sign of deeper defects.

Didn't used to be this bad.
Semi related to this exercise, I really forgot how far north most of Northern Europe is. Not even talking Scandinavia... mentally in my head I didn't have France and Germany on the same-ish latitude as WA.

All of England is north of the north-most point in the lower 48? Huh.
Tell HN: YouTube Restored the Dislike Button
I can see it on several desktop browsers, iOS Youtube client etc.
Yeah. I was looking for something a little more meaty, but there are solid ways to attack this.

I like to use copy-on-write reference immutable tree storage with self-recycling/self-freeing reference counting shared memory objects. Entities can retain prior versions for as long as necessary and then pop over to new versions when they’re ready, wait free. For ultimate cache and TLB performance, some other approaches (including deliberate copies) can be useful, but I’ve found the approach to be very friendly to multi-thread and multi-process scale for a long time.
Did the woman come in and say "I have auto-brewery syndrome, and I want you to test me for it"?

If so, then the comparison is off. It isnt that the doctors "didn't listen", it is that they didn't correctly deduce a 1 in a million cause, based on the information they had.
It might be that this is still undergoing research. Originally published in 2002 [1] a later followup paper in 2019 [2] points out ADHD points to a number of inflammation-related conditions like asthma and obesity. It's still not known the exact underlying mechanisms! I'm just really interested that obesity seems to be increasingly not a voluntary choice.

Apologies for the negative tone:

> First, let’s prioritize open source models and more tailored AI applications to shape the competitive landscape and create real opportunities for startups.

How does YC square this statement with the fact that their ex-president closed their models with the explicit intention of slowing down competitors [1]? Or is the argument "we want politicians to discourage people like us from doing what we did"?

Very interested in learning more. I went ahead and applied.

The only thing I see that I lack is professional Go experience (experience in C# and Node).

My only question would be how important is having direct experience in Go for this position?
> While generally I post my code under open source licenses to others can easily use it, learn from it, modify it, whatever they like, I do not like the idea that large corporations are taking this same code and putting it into a black box that is a machine learning model.

> Corporations stealing, or using work without permission, for their machine learning models has been a discussion for a long while at this point. In general, I side with the creators or artists having their work taken.

I don't get it. How can corporations be stealing anything from an open source project? Further, it seems like several of the repos are based on other people's code. What code of the author's do they have reservations against training AI on?

Interesting, thanks! It looks like that's going to take at least 30 minutes to read through, and probably much longer to really understand, so I'll have to bookmark it for later, but it sounds intriguing!
The title is misleading. The study found duckbill N95 masks "blocked 99% of large virus particles and 98% of small ones". This is important because the issue with masks was always to do with fit and longterm ware habits, not that N95 material was ineffective at blocking viral particles.
