Even if otherwise, it's not like you can move from .NET dev to DS jobs on a whim whithout any kind of experience or specialization.

And where I live .NET jobs are far more abundant and better paid than DS jobs which are few and have loads of coopetition from newgrads due to all they hype they genrated.
VW decided to decentralize development, especially software. This is true for the Chinese market, which is very important to VW. Germans like knobs, Chinese like playfull interfaces with gadgets.
On X11 systems there were also things like xsnow, with snow piling up on your window borders and santa flying in the background. xlemmings, walking/falling on your windows and various variations on this. Xeyes is the 'biggest' or most famous one, but in early linux distro's there were various of these things in the 'games' sections.
My suggestion would be to add more pragmas akin to `'use strict'` to the language and it's a complete enigma to me why TC39 seemingly does not go in this general direction. Pragmas would allow to break backward compatibility, this green-eyed monster from the swamps that keeps from just doing the right thing because it would break code. I'd be fine if new syntax for that was introduced, like `%use sane`. JavaScript is too precious to be discarded. Nobody is an expert in an entirely new language, I say let's rather build on the experience of gazillions of well-informed JavaScript users and rip out the bad parts. With pragmas we can do that.
Nice sentiments, but the problem with the Internet in Greece is a runaway oligopoly of three telco carriers and a "business-friendly"(one set of sarcasm quotes doesn't feel enough in this case) government that won't bring down the hammer of regulation on it. No lofty ideals here.

Clear variable names and comments aren't a requirement at all.

It sounds to me like you have a philosophical problem with LLMs, which is something I don't think we can debate in good faith. I can just share my experience, which is that they are excellent tools for this kind of thing. Obvious caveats apply - only a fool would rely entirely on an LLM without giving it any thought of their own.

Boston must have changed since I last visited.
> Google said this change is to allow the search company to serve the search results faster on more searches

I'm surprised that this makes enough of an impact: in order to find the top 10 results the engine needs to retrieve and rank a much larger number anyway (I'd guess at least 100 make it to the final stages of the funnel), and that is where virtually all the cost is. That initial set is probably held in some cache so that subsequent page loads don't re-do the search from scratch.

So either this is a small win in frontend efficiency, or continuous scrolling is fast enough that a large fraction of users goes past the initial set?
Only two repos of mine were clones there, no idea what is the criteria but if it's about stars, then 15 and 12 seem pretty low threshold.

My repos had their open source license available, so I guess we'll need to wait to see actual examples of illicit copies.

I wonder what they do with the user accounts though, might I be able to access it somehow? Or someone else..
VSauce did a nice video on this, starting at 15m25s with the sphere re-assembling:

> people are blindly following the advice "put secrets in env vars" without understanding that the point of it is to keep secrets outside files your app can read - because if you do a vulnerability or misconfiguration that lets people read those files leaks the secrets.

The problem with this is that, on Linux, the environment is a file, /proc/self/environ

And yes, as has been mentioned in some other comments, the process memory is also a file /proc/self/mem - but it is a special file that can only be read using special procedures, whereas /proc/self/environ behaves much more like a normal file, so a lot of vulnerabilities that enable reading /proc/self/environ wouldn’t enable reading /proc/self/mem

Technically one workaround on Linux is to not mount /proc (or at least not in your app’s container) - but doing that breaks a lot of things

No idea. I'm guessing the process doesn't even launch (I don't remember if I checked this..). Do you have an example with a check ? I'd love to add it. You'd probably need a very basic Swing error popup
> Baseline self-reported frequency of VPA was categorized into low VPA (<1 session/week), and high VPA (≥1 session/week).

So yeah, this is a mere correlational study, and a self-reported one at that. So technically, it could even be that people who think they exercise harder have better health outcomes.
I don't know if this will explain your questions, but years ago I watched this video from Vsauce about this very topic, and IIRC it was explained quite nicely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s86-Z-CbaHA

Leaving aside that I'm mainly drawing out a proper expansion of an opaque non constructive comment from the PoV of another;

"probabilities" and "age of one of my cousins" do not sound at all similiar.

One has the feel of a potentially continuous interval of values that can be mapped | scaled to perhaps match up with other forms of expression, the other is a finite discrete set of probably integers between zero and 120 with total set size likely less than a 100.
You say all this.

And yet, fees are 0.3% in Europe, and VISA, Mastercard and Amex are still happy to do business here. And customers can STILL pay with a single FaceID with Apple Pay.

So maybe all 0.3% of trillions of Euros moved is still enough to do all this.
that is absolutely false, this is the KEY differentiator over "offline first"
Tea is not the “replacement for homebrew” apart from the fact that the guy that started homebrew also started tea. There’s a bunch of good reasons not to use tea, not least the fact that it’s heavily associated with cryptocurrency bullshit.
This sentence seems crucial:

It can be proven using the axiom of choice, which allows for the construction of non-measurable sets, i.e., collections of points that do not have a volume in the ordinary sense, and whose construction requires an uncountable number of choices.

So you chop up a sphere (which has a volume V1) into a finite number of collections of points (which don't have a volume), then assemble the collections of points into a new sphere (which has a volume V2 != V1).

Presumably the reason they have a lower score than desired is because they already failed to do this in one form or another.

> "5 ways to quickly improve your credit score".

Have no inquiries. Have no forced account closures or writeoffs. Have as much total open credit as you can without triggering the first two. Have at least one secured or unsecured installment loan open and then paid off every 5 years. Always pay your bills on time.

It's not quick, I suppose, but the recipe is already pretty well known.
Yes methodology here seems suspect. Also: Activity levels were self reported. Could just be that early stages of dementia cause individuals to forget - either that they exercised or to exercise or to report.
Sales taxes (which also exist in most of the U.S. btw) fund public service. Credit card fees go to fund the Visa CEO’s third Lambo.
The pieces are fractal and exceptionally complex. It’s related to the idea that a point has zero length, but a line (an infinite collection of points) has nonzero length.

It also highlights a discrepancy between our physical intuition of space and the way we model space mathematically.
It’s not the same as infinite scroll - apparently, it’s quite recent:

„Google launched continuous scroll on desktop search in December 2022 and first in mobile search in October 2021. So continuous scroll only lasted about a year and a half for desktop search.“

Yes, that is true. Maybe they want to do something similar in the US? Where they have some subsidiary doing largely independent development for more region specific models?

This is an attempt to sidestep the politically hairy problem of changing a company’s culture. This never works because the daughter company either gets eaten by the more powerful parent company‘s culture, or their output is ignored and never integrated back into the parent.

It lowered the bar for being curious. I used to Google all sorts of questions that popped in my mind. For a while I even had a list called "things I don't understand".

>There is more money to be made by stakeholders treating health problems than there is in preventing them. And so there is a lot more money and effort invested in developing pharmaceutical and treatment solutions than there is in preventing them – even though that would be far, far better for society as a whole.

The health care system in US is very broken. This paper [1] really outlines. It not just more money made in treating health problems than prevention. Due to the health insurance is structured in US, there is also an incentive for doctors to prescribe the more expensive treatment instead of the cheaper more effective treatment.

Visa/Mastercard are a duopoly, which means they can extract rents.

Yes, I’m willing to pay $100 for a liter of water if you’re the only one selling it. I get a lot of value out of it!

In a competitive market, competition eventually drives down prices to a price that somewhat approaches the cost of providing the service.

This isn’t happening in payment, due to insurmountable network effects.
Ask HN: How to pivot to a Machine Learning engineer?
Software engineer here with 10+ YOE building data (mildly) intensive applications: mainly back-end development experience (from legacy to modern/cloud-native applications, brownfields and greenfields).

(1) is it wise to do this transition?

(2) has anyone else here in HN done it?

(3) how can I do it if my job has no ML in it?

Is there an ML engineering practice that isn't focused on building models but more on managing/deploying/scaling models? i.e. can I avoid learning all the maths underneath?
I'm not that older than you, but I decided to do stuff that I want instead of doing stuff that are good for me.

Saving money, "retiring" at the age of 30, traveling for 2 years, entering a monastery, leaving the monastery, and then starting to think about work again for real, not just as a way to escape the system.

BTW. After 3.5 years of retirement, I finally grow up to start something myself, which is an idea that was hunting me since teen years.

>The barrier to exercise isn’t money in most cases. It is that exercise is misery

Only if you haven't been doing it. When you follow through and get the hang of it, it can be ecstasy.

>I’m paying 8K a year to avoid exercise.

And paying a lot more in cognitive and health decline long term, both in monetary terms (treatment) and in non-measurable quality of life terms.

Ozempic is just weight loss (and the potential side-effects of longer term use with it, we'll find out in the future).

Weight loss is table stakes for optimal performance.
Yes, the problem here isn't that working in tech has what most people consider to be bad working conditions, it's that working in any "thought work" role requires both mental and physical engagement to achieve any kind of fulfillment. Mental engagement is increasingly difficult when you operate within an economic model that increasingly doesn't even pretend to care about anything beyond making even more money for a handful of dudes who are already richer than anyone has ever been in the history of wealth.

Flipping burgers for a company you don't care about is very different to marshaling your mind into doing work that requires you to care about a company you don't care about.

That said, flipping burgers for a company you don't care about also sucks for many other reasons that should not be downplayed. Chiefly, the lack of cash makes it hard-to-impossible to even attempt to find your fulfillment in activities outside of work.

My recommendation would be to do what I've done and to find a small company staffed by engineers who aren't sycophants. Look for meaningful benefits (e.g. more PTO, an office in a nice location, four-day week) and try your very best to relax: it's just a job. (Then take up yoga /s).

0% VAT on staple food, 5% on common commercial goods, 20% on services, and 40% on luxury products.

The author meant to write “Remote shell to a Raspberry Pi from 39,000 ft.”
The trick is to cut it up to an extent that you can't meaningfully assign area (or rather volume) any more.

The only real trick here is the low number of pieces, if you allow an arbitrary number of pieces it's simple to split the points into two sets and move the points into two equal sized spheres, that's just because infinity is weird that way (see Hilbert's hotel if you're not sure).

The question then becomes can you meaningfully talk about volume if you cut a sphere into a finite number of pieces? Turns out you can't.
Yeah, the thing that makes trading and investing different from most other disciplines is that the distributions are completely non-stationary and are changing all the time. There are some "stylized facts" (that's the term to search for) so use those to at least ground your model but you won't make any money from that.

The author of the post thoroughly covers the Greek startup & tech ecosystem.

Every summer without failure Vodafone's network drops the ball, right around the time we need it the most. They'll offer like unlimited data on you phone till it gets fixed or something like that. Last summer they took close to 40 days to get it fixed in our area.

This summer, the first day we noticed the connection getting spotty we bit the bullet and got a Starlink. Smooth sailing ever since, like holy shit what an upgrade. Chatting a little more with a client that does various installations in tourist places, hotels and stuff, he told he's been basically setting up Starlinks everywhere for the past 6 months or so.
The core of the paradox is that that the intuition that the volume of a bunch of disjoint sets obey the law

V[A ∪ B ∪ C ∪ ...] = V[A] + V[B] + V[C] + ...

is only guaranteed if you have a countable number of sets[1]. If you split a sphere into an uncountable number of pieces in the right way (which requires the Axiom of Choice) you can break this rule without being inconsistent with measure theory.

> when we decided to not give a shit about the original anymore.

Poe wrote a Manuscript. That's the original. Do we have the manuscript? No? Then we do not have and have long since decided to "not give a shit about" the original.

At the time, the way to make your Manuscript (one document you wrote) accessible to a large number of potential readers was to publish it, which is why these books exist. But if Poe had instead been alive in 2024 and made a TikTok that would be the same, why don't you focus on preserving each hard disk used by TikTok? Does it feel irrelevant? But these are the vitally important originals, aren't they?

[Edited to fix spelling of TikTok, I'm sorry I'm old]

While I haven't read the proof sufficiently in depth to explain it, but these aren't physical spheres because they have infinite parts.

They're less practically offensive to our senses, but I don't think this is really any different from zooming infinitely into a fractal or the difference between countable and uncountable sets. Infinities behave strangely.
They indeed should do that and then maybe not use lawfare and unjust measures themselves.

But it is indeed questionable, why someone should submit to such pressure if there are no consequences in this case either.

When you launch the docker containers you can pass in process env vars or do it via file. Nowadays people do this via kubernetes config yamls, which passes env to docker. Or rather they used to. Most people now use Helm charts which pass in the env to k8 yaml which pass them to docker. But then they feel its not secure enough... so a lot of people have the env split halfway between github actions secrets, and amazon secrets. The yaml for your github action config sends aws secret uri to the runner, which runs cdk which grabs the aws secret, and passes that to helm which makes k8 yamls, which passes the env to docker, which passes it to the process.

Then I killed myself and was reborn. Now I just use an env file.
Exercise has benefits that span far beyond weight loss, like the article you clearly haven't opened states. In fact, in many cases it's not even necessary for weight loss alone, as controlling the caloric input is enough.
Interesting thesis - however I was one of those kids. I had plenty of access to exercise we lived in a quiet housing estate where we could easily play hockey or football in the streets. The only exercise I enjoyed was cycling and that wasn't really the done thing in late high-school.

Weirdly enough, I now go to the gym 3 times a week. I don't love it like some people do but I've made it enough of a habit that I do it anyway.

The main motivation for me was wanting to be active enough to keep up with my kids and a string of minor ailments (mostly not relating to lack of exercise) which gave me a bit of a shove to do something.

As with everything in the greek economy the problem is lack of competition. There's too much coordination in price increases, and too little investment from those companies. They all share the basic infrastructure that is set by OTE SA (the old state-owned telecommunications company)

Same goes for banking, which is exorbitantly expensive and anticompetitive (aided by state laws that make banking services mandatory for businesses).

Unless the economy opens up to foreign compeition which will drive prices down and services up, it will remain a soviet-like small state
Sometimes I wonder if commenters in this forum will do anything to try to disprove that exercise is good for health.
