I think saying "software" is much too broad, and you have to narrow the comparison to a small subset of software development for it to make sense. With software, typically you're dealing with vague and changing requirements, and the hope is that if you build five simple applications, four will be basically adequate as written, needing only incremental feature enhancements, and only the fifth needs significant work to rise to the emerging complexity of the problem. (The ratio can be adjusted according to the domain.)

In this case they're creating a new solution to a problem where all previous solutions have ended up extremely complex, and the existing range of software currently running on x86 and ARM gives them with a concrete set of examples of the types of software they need to make fast, so they're dealing with orders of magnitude more information about the requirements than almost any software project.

The closest software development equivalent I can think of would be building a new web browser. All existing web browsers are extremely complex, and you have millions of existing web pages to test against.
Conflict of interest since I was very much into competition math in high school, but I definitely agree that at the HS level it's just about the best thing you can do. It develops your mathematical maturity in ways that simply front-loading calculus or linear algebra won't. A LOT of competition alumni go on to become great academics or successful professionals.

And just by the way: competition math is definitely "higher math" in a lot of cases. To be competitive at a decent level you have to know stuff like "real" algebra (groups, fields, etc., stuff like Burnside's lemma is pretty much table stakes), vectors, barycentric coordinates and so on for geometry problems, how to handle recursion for combinatorics, generating functions etc. It's by no means only silly tricks.
My 4th and 5th grade teachers tricked us into learning algebra by calling it "enigmas" and treating it like a fun puzzle instead of a math problem. It definitely worked on me, I was quite shocked when middle school math was just those puzzles under a different name. Made those classes quite easy though.

The cloud version of that is pretty much shared web hosting. Lots of providers use Softaculous [1] or similar solutions to offer one-click install for popular apps. Of course that won't run wireguard and you are pretty locked in to PHP (and sometimes python), but for Nextcloud etc. it's an easy solution.

Or you can go one step further and just go with a managed solution. For example Hetzner has a managed NextCloud, then you don't even have to worry about updating that.

This is a misunderstanding of how a budget works when you can print money. You don't have to take from anyone to give to everyone when the money supply is only limited by your concern for inflation beyond the capacity of the economy to do more useful things with the money than would have been done without it.
Those details are second order. What's important is the "flipped classroom".

That's like saying a system that generally yields bad results isn't to blame, its people.

For a vast majority of managers in "software companies" things like story points are about asserting control over what is created, getting commitments from various folks, and then increasing stress to have you "sprint" constantly "behind schedule" so they can inject additional requirements or pivot to the new thing they want to do.
Whew! Yes. Education is allergic to disruption because education shouldn’t be treated like a business.

Educational goals are to educate people not make money. Education requires countless failures. Business models are composed to be failure averse or reduce risk.

Education has and will likely continue to be a money and time sink because it is an area that requires constant failure from its participants to grow in knowledge.

Thank you for setting this.
That makes it easier to learn ahead.
Wide angle lens distortion correction from lines
Does this explain why they are unable to provide a steam client made of clean elf64 binaries?

Namely ELF NEEDED entries with only glibc libs (no libgcc nor libstdc++ with -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ compiling/linking options) and ABI selection using the ".symver" binutils gas directive (see binutils VERSION documentation, and targetting an ABI from 2017-2019, yes they would have to look at readelf -a -W output), dynamically loading system interface shared libs: libasound, libvulkan->libglvnd, xcb-libs if no wayland (code is statically linked), libxkbcommon(-x11), and that's it. That avoiding weird or too recent ELF relocations (the brand new "relative" one added by a &$#*@ genius for instance, even though it is still not used as far as I know, should be benign though).
I’m not denying I live in fear. I’m denying I and most fear guns. And it’s irrational to tell someone fearing for their life to not protect theirselves.

> Good point. Wisconsin is known to drive people to drink.

I think you're misinterpreting that article. It's purely an observation that Wisconsinites self-reported more of what some team running a survey classified as "excessive drinking, there's nothing about causes.

I'm not from Wisconsin, but I know quote a lot of people who are, and I think the reason they drink so much is cultural: they have a much more relaxed attitude towards alcohol consumption, generally (e.g. aunts letting nephews/nieces drink at some family get-together). It's not so much they're "driven" to drink, they seem to enjoy it and not attach so much stigma to it.

Show HN: We built pitchpilot, an AI synthesizer to tailor presentations
Hey HN,

We’re Nick and Roman. We’re solutions engineers who spend a lot of time prepping for and delivering product presentations and demos. We realized that we were spending too much time tailoring scripts for our client presentations and sales demos, practicing our pitch and (sometimes) nailing our delivery.

So we built pitchpilot to save time customizing the pitch and adding the right voice to it. You can also download and share your presentation in no time.

We hope this tool will be as useful for you as it is for us. Let us know what you (don’t) like and how you use it for work, fun, etc.

Cheers, Team pitchpilot

OP here.

Honestly, I got similar feedback when I got this reviewed internally. At this point I am not sure how to write so that it doesn't seem LLM generated.

Would be helpful if you could share why you thought this was LLM generated. The suggestions I have gotten so far has been to remove bullet points and sections - which I feel breaks readability.
> The diff doesn't make this obvious due to the removal of a newline in a parameter list.

I like to separate every little intentional change into their own commits. So a formatting change would be separated into its own commit.

If you are looking for “red flags” notice if the diff is clean or not according to what you expect to see changed; if you only expect to see some error text change then multiple lines being changed is weird. Also use a decent diff viewer which is somewhat content/language-aware.
What's a pound though? Not so global.

> No I really meant from a technical perspective, what caused the computer system to be unreliable.

Replicating transactions across distributed systems is very very difficult. Horizon was clearly not designed to handle this based on the litany of errors users documented. Transactions could be silently dropped or duplicated etc. The system was also insecure and records could be silently remotely altered by Fujitsu staff.
RealPage Says Rental Pricing Tech Is Misunderstood, but Landlords Aren't So Sure
And if you’re a non-English parent but speak English consider talking to your child in English from the very beginning. There are many different ways to approach this, one relatively simple way is to have one parent speak their native language while the other speaks English (called “one parent one language”). Even if your pronunciation isn’t perfect it will still yield very good results.

Source: I’m a parent of a 3yo who now understands speaks both English and Polish. Me and my wife are Polish and only I speak English. Apart from speaking we also use English audio in all TV content she watches and buy books that contains both English and Polish text.

Edit: as pointed out below I should’ve clarified that this applies when you live in a non-English country where your child does not have any other way to learn English (over here you can’t really learn English in schools - not enough hours, plus it starts way too late anyways).

You sound like an excellent technical leader and that fixes a lot.

One of the main drivers for writing this down is to make it easy to pass along for people who aren't as aware of the problems that come from those anti-patterns, as well as to explain why they are so destructive. The hope is to raise some awareness for people in tougher situations.
Health benefits of pedestrian and cyclist commuting
There's no amount of "double-column" accounting that will fix the situation; Fujitsu can just submit false results much like they falsely claim the software results were valid.

It's not convoluted, just prosecute them for fraud/perjury. You presented the results of a computer program as valid even when you knew they weren't resulting in many false convictions.

Rad hard parts are always sold direct from manufacturer in my experience - adding a distributor just muddies traceability, which is critical in space programs. There's usually a lot of communication between the quality departments of the manufacturer and the buyer, as test reports need to be transferred to the buyer for their records. Infineon almost certainly a list of everyone who has purchased these parts as well as the phone number for their quality control department.
Yeah that law is ridiculous. What happens if you are a metal-detecting enthusiast looking for valuables and you stumble upon something archaeological? Are you just gonna get fined?
It exists, it's called MBSE. Look up tools that support this approach.
As a non-native English speaker, this. Native English speakers are reluctant to give this advice, but it's the lingua franca of any field that matters. Not being able to communicate effectively will definitely be a blocker.

Results: Compared with non-active commuting, cyclist commuting was associated with lower all-cause mortality risk (HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.38 to 0.73), lower risk of any hospitalisation (HR 0.90, 95% CI 0.84 to 0.97), lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) hospitalisation (HR 0.76, 95% CI 0.64 to 0.91) and of having a CVD prescription (HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.63 to 0.78), lower risk of cancer mortality (HR 0.49, 95% CI 0.30 to 0.82) and cancer hospitalisation (HR 0.76, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.98), and lower risk of having a prescription for mental health problems (HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.73 to 0.89). Pedestrian commuting was associated with lower risk of any hospitalisation (HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.88 to 0.93), lower risk of CVD hospitalisation (HR 0.90, 95% CI 0.84 to 0.96) and of having a CVD prescription (HR 0.90, 95% CI 0.87 to 0.93), and lower risk of a mental health prescription (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.90 to 0.97).

The update page that opens in a new tab mentioned this change, once updated to Firefox 128. Perhaps you have that turned off, many power users do, making them oblivious to updates and the changes they bring.

Also I believe this is to the benefit of the general populace, who would never enable it otherwise. It allows ads to work in a more privacy-preserving manner.
This is a hack to create people wha are successful in the education system, I wonder if it is the right approach to create educated people.

I work in science and often work with highly skilled people from China and India. Theses people are much better in applied math than I ever was, but somehow my erratic highly derivative style of problem solving is at least as good at getting the job done and I am much better in thinking out of the box than most of them.
Does it support paid plans?
And an attack on the competitors -- opposing competition math because other vendors got their first and it has a narrower addressable market.
To suggest a feature or describe an issue on a product you're working on can be most easily done by just talking to people, for example by bringing it up in a design or planning meeting with the team and management. If it gets picked up it will get added to the schedule in some written form. It does not need to specifically communicated by email or written down, unless explicitly asked for.

Therefore the main purpose of writing the initial suggestion down is so there's a record of it for future use. Either to cover your own ass when management/auditors/lawyers get involved, or to say you were right and management was wrong and make yourself feel superior.
I’m curious, what’s so heinously expensive about HVDC vs normal HV transmission lines? Is it just that they’re less common, so there’s no economies of scale yet, or is it something fundamental to HVDC itself?

Ask HN: Stuffs to reward myself in my journey of self learning CompSci x DevOps?
I've plannned for an extensive CompSci x sysadmin x backend engineer curriculum for myself after visiting lots of roadmap sites like roadmap.sh/devops etc.

I've planned that I'd gift myself something that makes me happy. It could be:

- the ultimate gift to myself will be a travel

- the small gifts on the way could be any learning materials(books/courses) that help me to further my knowledge in that field.

This is quite ambitious and not in particular order and isn't expected to finish ever. It's a continuous process. I've given my short background at the end (if you're interested)

# Operating System completed

Say, I complete learning the fundamentals of Operating System(CS course), then I'll be gifting myself a book on vim/vi editor

# DBMS completed
I'd gift myself "understanding the linux kernel" book.

# Java completed
?

# Data Structures completed
?

# Algo completed

"Cracking the coding interview" book.

# Docker completed
?

# Kubernetes completed

"postgresql 16 administration cookbook" book.

# Linux LVM completed
"data science at the command line" book

# Linux Bash script completed
"cyber ops with bash" book

# Node.js completed
OSCP course buy(not the certification just learning materials from one site I know of)

# performance testing completed
?

# DBMS security completed
?

# network security completed
?

# Linux course completed
Ashghar Ghori RHCSA book as gift

# Git completed
?

# Computer Networks completed for the second time
?

My background

- I've been doing stuffs on linux since years and employed as a production support associate.

- I'm selfhosting various stuffs on Linux server(before you tell me to skip all these learnings and self host).

- I'm quite active in various popular linux forums, asking questions mostly. And helping if I find something very obvious.

- I've around 50 virtual machines in my current home laptop. I definitely won't just read books and don't apply anything(before you tell me to not do so).
> any of the wealthy or upper-middle-class suburbs

Working class too if you're Asian American.

Asian American kids in SF public schools and the closest suburbs (eg. Daly City, SSF) skewed working class but the parents would also push their kids to attend Kumon or cram schools.

Same story in working class Asian neighborhoods of SoCal and Boston like SGV or Quincy+Malden respectively.
"I soon realised that these material comforts did not bring genuine happiness."

"my opportunity to reframe and seek some level of discomfort"

"I asked ChatGPT to choose my next destination"

"I flew to Hong Kong...without a plan"

"I traveled to Japan, Thailand, and Dubai"

"I sought familiarity in Starbucks"

"This process helped me find out what I truly valued and cared about."

"We’d like to invest $500,000 in your company."

I'm sorry but you focus on the phrases about reframing your life, seeking discomfort, and moving away from material things. But, the things you did were let ChatGPT decide things for you, go on holiday, hang out in Starbucks and secure $500K.

The language you've chosen to use does not match the events you've described. It makes you sound incredibly douchey. You don't go into any detail about your business plan or approach to the interview. There's nothing here that makes me think you have anything of value to say, just that you are incredibly privileged and got lucky perhaps? I'd like to think there's more to it than that but your post has zero substance.
i am fairly certain that whole thing is about tracking and not security. If it was about security, then they could still include the real URL in the "safeurl" url. They do not do this though, because it is not about safety, it is about data.

Failed Attempt at Creating a Video Search Engine
This is what DragonBox does too.

Kids hate math because teachers and textbook writers hate math, who put no fun into it.
I work at a private school and will sadly tell you that the author's points are actually pretty severely understated when it comes to the incentives of schools regarding this phenomenon. Differentiation is a word that gets thrown around as some tremendous necessity for schools to implement, yet in the case of math, where one could fairly easily (compared to other subjects) confidently assess the attainment of prerequisites, gauge student progress, comfort, etc., we comically either bound students who have clearly mastered materials OR happily move them along the math curve in which the deficiencies in mastery build on each other to eventually lead to a child who truly has a strong distaste for math.

More even than pre-teaching, I would encourage any parent to very actively be involved to ensuring that their child maintains a reasonable comfort with math throughout their study, and to the extent possible, pitch in to help those gaps beyond "passing" or doing "ok" in class, but to earnestly try to see if their child is comfortable. The reality is schools will very frequently PASS your child and given them fine enough grades, but I would argue that it is oftentimes almost orthogonal to how comfortable your child genuinely feels with what they've learned.
Thank you! I've never fancied myself a good writer; I feel like, on a personal level, I can identify the beauty in things. However, I tend to have a hard time putting it to paper in a way that I feel conveys how I feel. But I'm working on it!
Make the AC more efficient which means you could potentially run a smaller unit which means fewer solar panels.
I disagree, I think crypto is extremely important, much more important than social media for example, which has been shown to be toxic and to destroy people's health, on top of also requiring a lot of data center resources and thus being bad for the climate.
