HN is a pretty simple app. My cloud gaming project https://borg.games has 700kb of JS without minification or compression, half of which is Microsoft's authentication library (they could have probably cut the cruft out to reduce the size 3x).

I'm sure though that if instead of JavaScript it was compiled to bytecode, it would fit in under 100kb before compression.
I mean.. can you show anyone piece of software or hardware or for that matter any man made creation that solves for all edge cases?
It's easy to be underleveled at a BigCo job, and to not even realize what that means because the leveling system is obtuse from the outside. You can spend many years fighting the bureaucracy just getting your title/comp to catch up to your skills.

One nice thing about being <= L5 is that your vacations are actual vacations. I can disappear for months, totally ignore my email, and have nothing be on fire when I come back.
Legacy mistakes from decades ago that cannot be fixed because the employment contracts are collective contracts signed with unions who refuse to introduce limits into new collective contracts.

If you read the Amazon warehouse worker Reddit they have a policy that an injury or illness can’t get “coded” as sick leave unless an ambulance is called. If you go to their first aid station the max you can spend there is like under 30 minutes. The first aid people are not capable of independently declaring that you’re “sick” or “injured” and letting you go home, so guess what happens!
Correct. There was something really nice about VB6 not needing any special runtime, just bundle any DLLs or OCX files you need and you're golden.
I like the trick of rendering in a small resolution and then scaling it back up without anti-aliasing and stuff. I wonder if there's any way to do chunky pixel static websites like that just using CSS in the same way?
Outside of those contributing to open source projects professionally, the vast majority of contributors will (naturally) be those with greater technical abilities, which unfortunately impacts the general UX of free/OSS overall in my opinion.
For a long time GA had no method to back up or extract the data. It also excluded itself from ADB backups. One had to root their phone to extract the data.

I wouldn't call radiation non invasive, it ages the surrounding brain tissue a lot.

For people with faster growing tumors like GBM the tumor will usually kill them before the side effects of radiation hit.

But for people with slower growing tumors like oligodendroglioma, the side effects of radiation can force them to quit their job and go on disability, years before they actually die of the cancer.

The better we get at treating these tumors and extending patients' lives, the more important it will be to avoid radiation as long as possible to ensure that extra quantity of life also has quality.
I just got my AirGradient Ones a couple weeks ago. It was quite nice that I was able to set them up local-only with absolutely no fuss. Works wonderfully with Home Assistant.

Also it was definitely worth saving money going with the DIY version. All that they leave for you is final assembly: plugging in 3 modules and wrenching down 4 self-tapping screws.
Microsoft SSO/auth flows have that feel in general. Really feels like something hacked together. Some examples from the top off my mind:

- In MS Authenticator, having to click on each subject rather than just showing the code immediately. If Google's Authenticator can show the code, why can't MS's?

- Azure DevOps randomly redirecting to the login form and back while already logged in.

- Azure DevOps randomly opening an authentication popup (presumably some SSO stuff) and closing it again

- Clunky-looking Office365 account management flows

Comp is higher at L6 and lower in London, so I don't know how that balances but…

If you spent the last 9y at Google in SF/NYC (the top comp regions), you'd have a million dollars in stock alone. It doesn't go as far as it did 9 years ago, but it's still ahead of a whole lot of people in this economy.
I landed at a class C (KAVL) without switching to tower from approach. I don't think they were training controllers that day but the same two controllers were on both freqs... rolled off and sent my call "off at echo" and got a nice "traffic calling approach say again".

Didn't get the dreaded number to call on the air since they knew the school... filed a NASA report and nothing else came of it. mistakes happen.

Related, on a check ride with the chief instructor while a controller was training he absolutely chewed the controller out on the air for giving me an immediate turn instruction at ~350' AGL. I don't think that was called for and it made me feel horrible and made the rest of the flight awkward. But from that day on I was much more comfortable with a simple "unable" when I got weird requests.

insulin is off patent. anyone can in theory manufacture it, but the ROI is just not worth it even at the current prices. Manufacturing it is not easy, there are humongous amounts of regulations, you will probably need to do a couple of clinical trials too... so you end up with an oligopoly that are incumbents that nobody wants to challenge, and prices that are all aligned.

I sometimes joke, "what about the cancer?" And not just in jest for despicable people afflicted. These are weird evolutions of ourselves. We should study them. The shit probably isn't going to be as cool as Butcher from The Boys, but ALL the removed masses of human brain tissue should definitely be preserved in a non-destructive way as possible and should be studied. I don't think we can fully understand brain abnormalities before we understand the brain, but seeing some failure cases has to help.

So we should remove them especially as we lack the full understanding to know if they are always dangerous.
I was kinda agreeing with you :-D
Please do not conflate territorial disputes with "invasion". When has China started bombing their neighbors - or any other nation for that matter ? At-least their territorial disputes are with the the nations neighbouring them and not nations across the world.

If you don't enjoy waking up at 4am, work on mobile. Once a new app release is on the phone, nothing is going to make it suddenly break and there is no hurry to send the new release to all users advance, go through internal employee testing and then roll out slowly so that any breakage doesn't affect a lot of users.
Not entirely sure I understand the question, but I'll answer to the best of my understanding: If you'd like to teach a course using one of my textbooks, then go ahead -- it's freely available online so that anyone who wants to learn from it can do so. All I ask is that if you pull readings/problems from the book, you cite the source, like how it's done when a professor pieces together a course using different readings/problems from different textbooks.

But, to clarify: the Eurisko book (Introduction to Algorithms and Machine Learning) only covers a small slice of the total roadmap from high school math to cutting-edge ML/AI. The other resources I recommend are the ones I mention in this post.

Back to the OP, I raise a glass to your sabbatical. Most SREs end up needing a healing period from repetitive stress injury (AKA burnout).

If I may offer some completely unsolicited advice, don't put too much pressure on yourself in the next few months. People who gravitate towards SRE work tend to thrive under short-term ambiguity and emergency/urgency. However, long/medium term ambiguity without a clear productive goal can quickly feel like a crisis. OP mentions this in closing, so I'm rooting for them to rest and "sit still" for a bit.

Principal Engineer is L7 at a Amazon. So if that's the same as a Google L6 I guess the scales are a bit different.

As for L10, that's Distinguished Engineer. I think if they're managers they're also called VPs? I'm not exactly sure what the deal is there; but I know plenty of Amazon L10s who are fantastic engineers.
No, you're attacking a different straw-man argument. These are not the same question:

1. Is America today more militaristic than the PRC?

2. Has America been successfully militaristic in prior generations including ones which are now dead?

Each requires different evidence, answering one does not answer the other.
I don't think the target audience are the same. Not so sure about this. Just my impression.
So you're telling me that North Korea is an extremely non militaristic nation of peace, simply because it has no foreign bases?

Your metric is flawed.

If one could instead sort the answers by likelihood and got scored based on how high one ranked the correct answer, things would probably look better than random.

Also I wonder how these LLMs were prompted. Were they just used to complete the text, or where they put in a "mood" where they would try to complete the text in the original author's voice?

Obviously as as human I'd try to put myself in the author's head and emulate their way of speaking, whereas an LLM might just complete things in its default voice.

With some email services including Gmail and Protonmail you can add +whatever to your username part of the email address to get the same result. My name+flightaware@gmail.com for example…

And many mail hosting services let you assign a catch-all, which allows you to simply use anything@mydomain.com to get the same result.
Google was the company that kept making the web better in every way. Amazing search, endless services each with solid json APIs, a fast multi-process web-browser, & investment in the web as a whole.

Google killed the king, and the king was the desktop. The king was apps. Microsoft seemed omnipotent & in total control, and the rise of the web isn't totally Google's but they sure did a lot and they sure rode that wave.

My personal feeling is that Google lost the ball in the g+ era. Up until then, it felt like Google understood their role was to help others create value, that they had to offer APIs and platforms to let other developers onto the platform, let other people expand the value proposition. G+ was an about face, a totalizing product push, and one that offered nothing to the world. Essentially no API offered. Google wanted to make g+, they wanted to run itz and if you wanted to use it, you needed to use their client and your account with them.

Where-as in the past, with efforts like Buzz, they we're trying to expand the protocols & value of the web as a whole. Once they gave up on platform & tried to be a product company, it was much harder to believe in the futures they were trying to sell.

Absolutely not. Cost of living increases and the like. Consider, back then single income households were the norm because you could absolutely afford a house, car in the driveway, and raise a couple kids on a single blue collar income. Hell, in the late 90s you could make rent on a studio apartment in a single weekend delivering pizza if tips were decent.

I bought IQAir AirVisual Pro (indoor), because California’s AQMD[0] tested it as fairly accurate (and, let’s be honest, because I have been relying on their app).

It cost more than $400, and it lasted less than half a year.

The unit is made of flimsy off-white plastic, has an insanely bright blue-white display that cannot be dimmed enough (not fit for the bedroom, at all), slow menu with useless options, and (in 2024!) that weird micro USB connector. That connector is what broke after four months.

Turns out, precision is not everything.

[0] Apparently, California government has a lab that tests various consumer air quality monitors and publishes results (http://www.aqmd.gov/aq-spec/evaluations/criteria-pollutants).

Despite having dozens of evaluations, they do not seem to have tested AirGradient or Airthings or their respective sensors. I wonder if they take requests?
I had the same experience, and honestly was hoping for more work to do.

90 seconds to assemble and it was auto discovered by home assistant in even less time.

That said, it's probably overkill for a device whose only 'real' purpose is to tell you when to open your window. Sensible people can get a cheap CO2 meter for $30 that will be accurate enough for that purpose.
In this case you don't have to find and sideload an .apk though, it's available in the main F-Droid repo.

I'd argue that it would be safer than the Play Store version because F-Droid builds are at least reproducible, while it's not clear what checks are actually done by the Play Store before publishing an update. Most of what Play Protect claims to do could be from a simple malware signature check.
> you're telling me that North Korea is an extremely non militaristic nation of peace, simply because it has no foreign bases?

No.

They're not saying that. You're making an illogical argument.

I've been using Windows daily since 3.1 and, while there are been some digressions at various points over the years, MSFT always eventually managed to course correct and get things back on track. But I gave up on Windows 11 a few months ago and am slowly migrating all my Win11 systems back to Win10.

I gave up because it's been over three years during which MSFT has repeatedly demonstrated the Windows business is being operated with fundamentally different priorities in the Win11 era than it ever has been. The myriad things which have been removed from Win11 and the new things which are annoying on a daily basis are not regressions. They're not going to be fixed because these new priorities are now part of MSFT's core strategy for the Windows business. They have prioritized incessantly promoting adjacent subscription businesses and de-prioritized making Windows a complete, feature-rich, functional and streamlined tool for individual power users.

For the past 30 years, Windows has generally gotten better for users like me (with a few detours, which were corrected). It's not that MSFT always did everything the way I'd prefer but, even when we disagreed on implementation, we remained largely in sync on the overall goals. Since Win11, it's become clear that Microsoft's interests are no longer mostly aligned with my own interests as an individual power user.
Not completely pointless. It avoids the need to retain a full copy of all the values.

But a good demonstration of why this kind of thing isn't a good fit for the standard library.
Yeah, and I read “you don’t have to show your device” as meaning “you don’t to show them the physical device”. I mean you could wrap it in a towel or something and do NFC, but that seems weird for everyone involved.
Are you referring to Zelle? I think the issue for users that keeps them on services like Venmo is primarily the UX. The Zelle experience varies depending on the customer’s bank. It’s a service run by and between the banks, who are generally not as user experience-focused as tech companies. One example of this is that there is no feedback when sending money to a phone number that is not on the platform. The funds just go into the void and are returned a couple days later. By contrast, Venmo lets the payer verify the payee with their profile picture, username, and phone number.

America has been sabre rattling about the South China Sea for two decades now, a sea named after China that China has sailed through for some 4,000 years.

Is it any wonder that China builds out a navy to defend waters off its own shores that America has crossed an ocean to patrol?

I'm not particularly anti-US, just an observer of the world and history in general. Post WWII the US has been number one and it wants to keep that crown despite China advancing faster than any other nation for the past decades.

> The textile industry has completely left the western world and no one is complaining(other than the luddites I guess).

This was a very gradual process (over centuries), and they weren't really happy about it either. It wasn't just the Luddites who were upset when Samuel Slater (a.k.a. "Slater the traitor") left England and helped set up a competing textile industry in North America.

For self-preservation purposes, no politician will willingly sacrifice jobs at existing regional or national champions[1], regardless of how noble the goal is: politicians get voted out of office for far less. The best we can hope for, is a slow steady decline of harmful industries (see coal).

1. The US will treat Boeing with kid gloves rather than gift the market to Airbus, even though Boeing has a terrible safety culture and not exactly competing on merit. The same goes for VW in Germany, Arianespace in France, Samsung in Korea, Huawei in China, etc.

This is the answer. Yes, every interviewer will have to provide say whether they are inclined or not inclined for the hire, but the interview debrief is where the hiring decision is made, considering the total experience of all the interviewers.

Sometimes there is a candidate who is so obviously far from the bar that we could stop early, but if the phone screen process is working well it's rare. My experience is that the typical interview loop is ambiguous enough that it is rare that later interviews are a waste of time—these may turn out to be the ones where the candidate shines the most.
Make sure whatever information provided can be actionable.

For example, providing CPU metric alone is just for alerting. If it exceeds a threshold, make sure it gives insights into which process/container was using how much CPU at given moment. Bonus point if you can link logs from that process/container of that time.

For disks, tell which directory is large, and what kind of file types are using much space.
