As I recall our consultancy had one or two projects in the mid/late 1990s where it was an issue, and we knew folks who were more directly grinding away on affected systems, but for the majority of the people in the industry it was a noop.

Keep in mind that the industry itself saw a huge influx of workers starting in the early and mid-1990s as part of the first Internet boom. There was a ton of new cultural energy around tech related to the Web, and none of the tech under/around any of these jobs/businesses/etc had any Y2K issues. I recall it being pretty clear from a "vibes" perspective by mid-1999 that the turnover was going to be something the kids now know as a nothingburger.
As a tagalong to my comment, I really wish Android phone makers would get their act together and give Apple better competition. If the trends of the last ten years hold up, iPhones might actually become a monopoly product at some point. ;)
NASA has been held hostage to monopoly pricing it's entire history until SpaceX came along lol. Sometimes you have to let the rot die away and let something new take its place. Boeing needs to be broken up, shaken down, and cut to a lean modern family of companies.

That's a weird look. What is that market segment nobody is even trying to compete in?

Integrated ecosystem is something a number of players have tried and failed at, as they simply don't have the resources to build it up and sustain it until they are competitive.

Apple has started small too: tiny little iPods with iTunes + digital content sales really put them back on the map, before they scored a hit with iPhone which was an iPod touch with a modem. They have been riding the iPhone wave since, gobbling up money with iPhone and iPad manufacture and app sales, which allowed them to expand to SoC production for laptops too, which is what got them back on the PC (as in "personal computer") map too.

I was a Perl 5 magi and carried the O'Reilly book in hand for a few months. The impression has meant that every regex in 20 years was effortless, though Perl long forgotten.

Perl 5 regex familiarity seems like it futureproofed.

Now I suppose I mostly use JS or Vim which is such a subset.
TL;DR Negative film is (obviously) intended not for viewing by humans, but for a specialized development process. Digital cameras are geared towards capturing images as humans would perceive them, and in regular photography using full spectrum light supposedly makes metameric failure less likely. Thus, it may appear counter-intuitive to a seasoned photographer that using a specific narrow band RGB lighting can be preferable when digitizing typical negative film, working around the use case mismatch and improving colour reproduction.

To stupid people, a border is some sacred impenetrable wall. To most of us, it’s just another line.
Here's [1] a biochemist talking about an erythritol study (didn't check if it's the same one, but it's the same claimed symptom). They controlled for the obvious risk factors (though with the usual caveats that controlling for things is hard), and they have a claimed mechanism of action:

> But we seem to have spotted a toxic effect now. This latest paper shows that plasma erythritol levels actually make a good predictor of major cardiovascular trouble (heart attack/MI, stroke, CV-associated deaths). In 1,157 patients volunteers undergoing three-year longitudinal evaluation, the patients in the highest quartile of plasma erythritol concentration were very strong outliers for CV events. That correlation holds up after controlling for all sorts of other dietary and physical variables (weight, age, gender, known cardiovascular risk factors, and more). And on top of that, the authors demonstrate a surprising but extremely plausible explanation for these findings: erythritol, in both in vitro and in vivo assays, enhances platelet aggregation.

> ...I myself will be studiously avoiding it from here on until someone can convince me it’s safe. You may feel similarly after looking at the evidence.

There are also other studies (same chemist in [2]) claiming the same effect for xylitol, another related sugar alcohol.

Quest rhymes with mindless grinding in my mind, go there fetch this, kill that, get the gold or the item, rinse repeat. It’s the opposite of fresh and process focused in my mind.

Goals and quests are both corporate nerd speak and make me sick.

When I've been in the hiring seat, I don't ask this question. I think there are far better ways to get the information this question is trying to get.

When I've been the applicant, I always have an answer to this, though. Before I've even applied to the company, I've already done at least some research on them (even if it's just reading their website) and know the sorts of things they do.

There's something there that made me decide to apply at that particular company. I'm not just firing resumes out at random, after all. Perhaps that thing is small -- they use a particular technology that I'm interested in, or maybe it's just that I think what they produce is cool, or maybe just that they're located somewhere I want to be, or that they're in a segment of the industry that I'm intrigued by.

One time, as an example, I applied at a company because some close friends had worked there in the past and had great things to report about it. So I said that (along with how what they do intersects with my skillset) and elaborated on what I was told about the company that appealed to me.

In any case, whatever that thing was is the core of my answer to the "why us" question. I don't try to pad it or flatter the interviewer with how incredible I think the company is. I just talk about the thing that made me choose to apply there.

In reality, as another response here said, what the interviewer wants to know is that you have some idea of what the company is about and you have some real interest (even a little bit) aside from a paycheck. Your answer should demonstrate that.
The content kind of seals the deal. It is a hit piece.
I use about 1kWh per 8h of fridge. So two fridges for 40 hours would be about 15% of battery, and 2 gallons is about 15% of your tank.

But average power usage of your Mac Pro would have been a lot higher since it would use power a lot more steadily than the fridge. And unplugging the fridge for a bit doesn't substantially change its power consumption.

So you did better than me by however amount your Mac Pro used.

Biggest advantage I had was I didn't have to open my garage door while it was powering the fridge.
The logical way to do it is to have doses starting really tiny, then doubling every ~week.

Every week, patients are given a health survey, and if any effect is obvious in the results data (ie. patients given drug 43 have, on average, a 2 C increased core body temperature), then the dosage of that specific drug is either held fixed (since it is clear we have reached the 'has an effect' dosage), or removed entirely from the trial (if whatever the effect is is deemed likely to hide more valuable yet smaller data from other drugs)

Some people believe being able to build on fully-open software stacks has value in and of itself. (I happen to be one of those people.)

You can get neotame online, including on Amazon. I really dislike it though. Its sweetness has a very strange attack and decay, if that makes sense, so that there isn’t really a right amount to use where it won’t taste some combination of too sweet and not sweet enough over the course of a bite or sip.
So killing civilians en masse is fine, as long it forces the enemy to surrender with (probably) fewer casualties? Why even have laws of war then, if we adjust adjudicate these questions with a utilitarian calculus?

You're just missing an entire half of the story here: which is the USSR attacking on the 9th of August!

Of course if you omit the second most important factor then things start becoming obvious, but in reality the answer to this question is far from obvious (in neither direction, needless to say, the tankies who claim with certainty that the bombing was not needed are equally wrong)
I’ve had decent success with using chatgpt to provide regex based on examples and a description of what I need.

That being said - regex is a superpower.
Helm Charts and Terraform are different things IMO. Terraform is better used to deploying cloud resources (s3 bucket, EKS cluster, EKS workers, RDS, etc). Sure you can manage your k8s workloads with Terraform, but I wouldn't recommend it. Terraform having state when you already have your start in k8s makes working with Terraform + k8s a pain. Helm is purpose built for k8s, Terraform is not.

I'm not a fan of Helm either though, templat-ed yaml sucks, you still have the "indent 4" insanity too. Kustomize is nice when things are simple, but once your app is complex Kustomize is worse than Helm IMO. Try to deploy an app that has a ING, with a TLS cert and external-DNS with Kustomize for multiple environments; you have to patch the resources 3 times instead of just have 1 variable you and use in 3 places.

Helm is popular, Terraform is popular so they both are talked a lot, but IMO there is a tool that is yet to become popular that will replace both of these tools.
Given how freak of an accident this was I’d be curious to see if a plastic straw could cause similar internal damage. Metal straws freak me out, and I imagine they cause a number of chipped teeth as well.
The integrated tiling is THE killer feature for me using Pop OS.

I used i3 plenty back in the day, but these days I just don't have the time to fiddle with the config. Pop OS tiling works perfectly out of the box if you don't need anything fancy.

Cool to see a new DE come into being.
Building a single tenant system is 10x simpler than building a multi-tenant SaaS. App development is so much faster these days and you can build a significant system with just couple of remote devs. Even easier when there is an app from which they can copy from.

You would need to provide far more than that. What are you alluding to? 200 years ago was the development of the nation-state as a concept. Borders were completely porous; the technology to close them effectively was more about 100 years in the future.

Also, 200 years ago was the development of colonial empires, which is pretty much the opposite of what you say.

I think about this a lot. I think my dad was more goal oriented and I’m more process oriented. I see every day spent working toward a goal as a valuable step toward it, while I think he tried to always shorten the path to reach his goals, and ended up not ever achieving them because of it.

As an example, I do car restoration as a hobby. It’s a big, big task to basically dismantle a car, fix body issues, rebuild the engine and transmission, clean up all the parts, and put it back together. Looking at the entire task outside of it, seems almost impossible to do, but I almost never think about the end of the work. I just think about the next thing I need to do.

I think marathon runners do something similar, or so I’ve heard anecdotally.

Yes you can get a 7/7 score for a combinatorics problem in IMO with a good amount of handwaving e.g. instead of formally describing a configuration of monsters in P5 of IMO 2024 you can get away with a few sentences that describes what you're doing. There's actually a decent amount of compression being done by using informal language, so I expect formal proofs of combinatorics problems to be significantly longer than formal proofs of algebra/number theory/geometry problems.

I should say that handwaving is also ok in other topics, but formalizing handwaving in other topics is easier.
Sucralose is also extremely potent, for what it’s worth, so that you only have to use a tiny amount of it.

It’s one thing you have to look out for in studies on the health effects of a lot of artificial sweeteners, particularly in animals. The doses might look reasonable at first glance, but are often orders of magnitude greater than anyone would actually consume.

(This doesn’t apply to sugar alcohols, mind you, which tend to have a similar or even lesser sweetness to sugar.)
I don't think so? I admittedly haven't played around much with uBlock's js blocking, but I thought it was a binary on/off rather than the more granular control NSS offers.
Interesting, I believe this although I stopped using mine many generations ago after losing it and not replacing it. I feel like there's been a big shift in recent years from Fitbit being a market leader to people preferring other wearables - either smartwatches like Apple's or Garmin's, or more use case-specific wearables like Whoop or the Oura ring for sleep.
This really reads like a badly disguised hit piece against Elon, doesn't it?

The guy posted something he thought was real, then deleted it when it turns out it wasn't.

Then the writer goes on to mention he "hasn't apologized" and "continues sharing material criticizing the UK government and law enforcement authorities' responses to the riots".

Why does he need to apologize? Oh no, he made a mistake - going by that logic, the Guardian's owners should publicly apologize to all their readers if they get anything wrong. I doubt they do. I would assume they put little "addendums" underneath articles - knowing full well that anybody who has already read the article isn't going back to read it a second time to check for corrections.

And then they list further "hit-piece-y" tidbits about criticisms about how he's run the platform, how companies have decided to leave, how he's suing advertisers...

I don't like the guy for his attitude and demeanor, but come on, it's so clear this was written by someone who needed to get an article out before a deadline.

Is the Guardian located in the same place the riots are happening? It would make more sense I guess, since the riots are affecting the publisher directly, but still...?
I don't necessarily disagree with your overall point (I don't know much about it either way), but I'm not sure your example does a great job illustrating it. If you tried the same thing, but with non-high-profile names, would it give you the same response? If so, the charitable (and probably correct) interpretation is that this is a general privacy guardrail, not one that's there to protect the powerful/rich.
I’m not going to be defaulting to other providers for new tasks - just putting a fail-over in place.

Out of interest what small set of tasks do you find Claude to be best for? Because I find it to be significantly better for most things. The only thing I have found it not better at for my use cases is identifying specific pieces of (somewhat specialist) machinery and equipment from images, where I’m still getting stronger results via OpenAI.
It would also mean that Apple built a facility that will be outdated in 1-3 years. They'd end up falling behind and have to go back to TSMC or someone else to supply components or invest billions every year to build out improved fabrication facilities.

Certain kinds of vertical integration can last, but when a key part is a moving target (fab capabilities) or commodified then they are inherently time limited assuming any kind of competition (and there is plenty of competition in the PC and phone markets still).
Companies that are built on engineering eventually become subsumed by soul-sucking profit sucking bonus sucking middle management types that just plop themselves in their big huge hierarchy and destroy the company long-term with inertia and apathy.

This reminds me of the "systems vs goals" mentality, which emphasizes focusing on having a good systematic process for the journey rather than fixating on specific outcomes.

Some prior discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28688643

Scott Adams (before he went a bit cuckoo) was a huge proponent of it and he exposed me to the concept in my mid 20s. It heavily resonated with me and fundamentally changed my outlook on several areas of life.

This specific framing of Quests vs Goals seems a bit more like a change in framing your perspective, but I see some similar concepts, eg:

> You don’t just get the novel started, you become a writer. You don’t just declutter the house, you get your house in order.

I don’t think it’s any secret that learning a new language has the effect of remapping the neurons of your brain, and we already know that we associate a lot with words, not just their meanings but what they mean to us.

I don’t think there’s been sufficient research in this area really but I also don’t think that’s enough in itself to downplay it as woo.

If the word “quest” doesn’t conjure images in your mind of a long winding journey with pitfalls and successes that eventually lands you in a place where you’ve achieved a goal and also changed as a person, maybe just use the word in your vocabulary that _does_ conjure those images and see if you feel the same way.
Both liberals and conservatives have determined that the two races are "white" and "whatever." More Hispanics means that the "whatever" group is rising.

What I wonder is if they've accounted for the lobbying of various subgroups to leave the "white" category, such as Hispanics themselves did in the late 60s - early 70s (speaking Spanish is neither a race nor a single culture.)

Every time a former white person declares themselves Latino (or MENA for that matter), the ratio changes.

That cannot be argued in this case. The author explicitly states that he made an interceptor that sits between the PC and a regular mouse, so the interceptor is the one running the game.
