I'm not a javascript programmer, but I really like the arrow pattern from a distance exactly because it enforces that idea.

My experience is that newcomers are often thrown off and confused by higher order functions. I think partly because, well let's be honest they just are more confusing than normal functions, but I think it's also because languages often bind functions differently from everything else.

`const cool = () => 5`

Makes it obvious and transparent, that `cool' is just a variable where as:

`function cool() {return 5}`

looks very different from other variable bindings.
I did not notice deliberate attempts like that, but in the vacuum created post 2020 there is not much left to be trusted besides zerkalo. They rely on sources they likely can not verify all the time, and as such they do make mistakes occasionally and post corrections - this indeed happens from time to time. If you have suggestions of better source of news - please share.
That's incorrect: I'm looking for a tool that takes a html page, encrypts the content, generates another html page which has some js to decrypt what was encrypted before and puts the decrypted content back in the body of the html page.
I’m not a qft-ist, but from the top my head the Higgs field wouldn’t explain the (likely positive) mass of neutrinos. So there could potentially be another mass creation mechanism. But someone else more informed could clarify.
I run tech at a venture studio (gateway.xyz) and I _rely_ on part time developers.

None of our businesses sell software and none have any full time engineering support. That said, there are lots of little tools that have been custom built to enable the businesses to scale. It's not enough to support full time roles, so I go to part time contractors when I need it.

Weirdly, I struggle to find part-timers with availability! Where have you been looking? I'll make sure I start posting in those places.
Looks great!

Per Wikipedia the RAMAC 305 stored 5 million 8-bit characters[0]. Assuming they're using all 100 surfaces of the 50 disks in the unit that only comes out to 400,000 bits per surface. At the size of those platters the magnetic domains that encoded the bits must have been positively huge. There are products that could be used to visualize magnetic domains on tape[1]. The RAMAC platters seem like they'd be large enough that you could read them optically with one of these visualization tools.

> I say people being able to ask the right question is one of the most important skills to be a productive developer.

But you never know if by asking the "right" question you'll jeopardize the entire interview problem. Some interviewers may have only prepared 75% of the problem and haven't went through all the posibilities. If you ask a question that may pose itself as a "treat" (e.g., making half the problem non-sense and therefore there's no need to implement it) your interviewer may simply consider you a no-go.

And it's not about malice, but simply that you may be better prepared than the interviewer and some times that leads to a no offer. I wouldn't mind working in a place like that, so I don't usually ask "too clever" questions.

Edit: I said this because he's using PHP, MySQL, and I assumed Apache. But now I see in another comment that he's using ColdFusion, and indeed the server returns an X-Powered-By ColdFusion header. So now I'm confused. PHP on ColdFusion? Or maybe he’s just having the server return a bogus ColdFusion header as a nod to MySpace?
Wouldn't we all love an extra $20K! In your scenario the cycle will likely repeat no matter how much money is injected into their life, and then what, throw another $20K at them? I've sadly had to watch this happen a few times with family and friends and the truth is they can not be helped until they stop externalizing their problems and take ownership. It's an ugly truth that makes me uncomfortable writing because there's a fair bit of suffering on that path.
Triple ETFs Triple Your Fun
Like the other person said, most forms of colorblindness is caused by genetics--specifically, recessive traits. So, it's the sort of trait that will run in the family.

To help explain our experience, it's like trying to distinguish between two similar shades of yellow. It'll be clear and obvious that both are the color yellow. When there's only one example of each standing next to each other, it'll be easy to tell which shade is the lighter one, even if it's only slightly different. But if you had a sea of examples and are asked to pick out which yellows are slightly lighter than the other ones, then it might cause you to stop and study them for awhile to figure it out.

It's just like that for the common forms of colorblindness (where the color cones in the eyes are bent, but not missing), but instead of this metaphorical "yellow" it's this special "red-and-green" color that we see that's different from what everyone else sees. It's like trying to distinguish between two different shades of the same color, where it's obvious which is which when there's only two examples to compare to but not so much when your entire field of vision has bits of one hidden amongst a sea of the other. It's like red and green are a spectrum of the same color rather than being two separate ones.
FTC Takes Action Against Care.com for Numerous Dark Patterns
Original title "FTC Takes Action Against Care.com for Deceiving Caregivers About Wages and Availability of Jobs on its Site, Impeding Cancellation Process" condensed to fit title limits.

Sourced from a paragraph in Matt Stoller's recent BIG newsletter email:

> The Federal Trade Commission put the hammer down “against Care.com (Care), alleging that the child and older adult care gig platform has systematically deceived caregivers who were looking for jobs while failing to give families seeking care a simple way to cancel their paid memberships.” Care.com is owned by Barry Diller, a billionaire who had called for Lina Khan to be fired. Now we know why.
I have the same idea in interviews. they need to be able to admit when they don't know or need help depending on the level. However I thought about it and I think the continuous "why" comes off as sort of childish or low effort. I didn't want to drive off people that reasonably didn't want to work in a place with a toxic culture. My solution was to ask a question that was specific to the workplace but technical so that it would require more information to solve. I looked for answers along the lines of:

- I don't know
- I don't have enough information based on the question
- I would do it this way generally but this question requires employer specific information.

Not someone that just barreled forward and came up with a defacto answer as the solution. They had to give some sort of admission that they could not really solve the problem as is.

This can be a big problem in teams that are homogeneous: All were hired using the same process, so all are maths/physics majors with good analytical skills but insufficient software engineering skills.

What often happens maths/physics majors excel at programming the small, but cannot architect things in the large. As a friend once put it about one such person: "He can only do it as long as he can fit the whole problem in his head at once."

It's great to have mathematicians and physicists in the team. But you for sure want a sufficient number of trained and experienced software engineers as well.
The macros I see in the real world seem to usually work fine. I’m sure it’s not perfect and you can construct a macro that would confuse it, but it’s a lot better than not having a compilation db at all.
China-linked 'Spamouflage' network mimics Americans to sway US political debate
I agree with your perspective, it does come across like someone who has had success learning one stack and that's great, but it's hardly a picture of the varied landscape. There's nothing wrong with PHP and I've seen plenty of businesses do just great with it. I've also seen companies doing equivalent with Ruby, and Go, etc, and even a mix of languages. You can do all this without falling into the pitfalls (which can happy in any language/ecosystem).

There's nothing wrong with choosing PHP, and also nothing wrong with other alternatives too.
Same. I don't know if I have been lucky. I have worked with 6 companies in the past (startups, multinationals, consultancy companies, etc.) and I have never had to answer brain teasers.

There was a research from UCSF that I met when we were building that DOgPatch facility in Sf...

She had written a program in python to pipette tiny amounts of proteins via tubular matrices valve thingy she made which allowed her to feed various proteins to stemcells via her little 3D printed tubes and then was researtching what each proteins made the stemcells behave like, what they presentd, her quote was "what do we need to ffed the stemcell to become a heart muscle."

Ive alwasy been intriugued by this as I want to experiment with my own stemcells.... specifically in ocular regen.

But having AI craft blender snippets has been super simple to get it to draw geometry - so a GPT that can translate between some chemistry constraints to 3D- molocule constraints - plus there are a bunch of 3D chem libraries (there was an interesting one on HN a while back that I commented on a bit..)

What would be interesting would be a version of 'meta clay' (balls) -- that had attraction rules that werent meant to merge Nurbe surfaces, but rather it would know the attractions of various proteins/molocules/biochemicals such that it will know which 'covalant bonds' (I am puling that phrase out of my non-chem butt) -- work together.

Even if there is an infinite scale, wouldnt it be computational given infinite amount of time/energy. I.e each step itself is still a computational process.
Nonsense. Most manufacturers sell exactly the same models in both Europe and North America, with perhaps minor tweaks for things like exterior lighting. Rust is mainly caused by road salt, and salt just isn't as heavily used in most of Europe.

Europe is a big place. You'd be surprised how easy it is to bribe the safety inspectors in some countries.
Making this somewhat more interesting, it's more of a “custom * linter” in 5 minutes.

There's an issue of language here. For me, an Italian, blue is dark and "azzurro" is light. I played the game assuming that "azzurro"=Blue but I guess that sensitivity is skewed by semantics here. You can try to capture mother language too and see how it affects the statistics
Well that would be inefficient. For each command you run the kernel has to read the file, detect that it has a shebang, parse the shebang line, and then finally load the actual executable in memory. That could be a performance problem, since busybox is used typically in embedded systems that doesn't have a lot of resources: imagine a shell script that runs a command in a loop, it has to do a lot of extra work.

Finally, symlinks can be relative, while the solution you proposed is not. This is particularly useful for distributing software, e.g. distributing a tar file with the busybox itself and their symlinks.

In fact, you don't even need symlinks at all: you can even have hard links, that could even save disk space on embedded filesystems, that are readonly images anyway.

None of the above, it's not really like the Chinese or Russians are any smarter than Americans. No one is going to invent some magical eavesdrop machine that operates on some principle that hasn't at least been thought about by the other side. If the Americans did learn about some new machine the other side invented from an insider, it would be trivial to drop the knowledge on the desk of the most relevant researcher, tell them to publish a public paper on it, and then use that as justification as to why new countermeasures need to be added to the embassy SCIFs. You protect your insider by making it look like the tech is now common knowledge and protect embassy operations.

All of the secret conversations and messages that occur in an embassy happen in a SCIF. If the other side can eavesdrop into those, you've got nowhere else to discuss these things so the only option is to build countermeasures. There are no juicy bits of intel floating around outside the SCIF that the other side couldn't gather themselves. If they can't eavesdrop into the SCIFs, then there's no immediate need to react. The other side isn't stupid, any false or misleading info you intentionally leak will eventually be figured out and then they'll know that you know they are listening (not good for your insider). The best course of action is to appear that you are acting independently of what the other side is actually doing, play dumb but don't be dumb.

PSA their argument about ablism is spot on and is obviously so, if your understanding of what "AI" is goes beyond prompting an LLM to "do your work for you."

So many knee-jerk critiques of "AI" are premised and possible on when the critic has little or no understanding of what "AI" is, even today.

I looked at the bloom repo and it seems somewhat stale, do you know if this is something still being worked on?
Yeah this is basically how I see it, there’s a natural selection to it. If you practice deceit and politicking in interviews (and in the office), you’ll select yourself into, and only be able to succeed in organisations that value those things. If you practice honesty and candor in interviews, then you’ll expect the same (over time at least). In interviews I think you should just be guided by your genuine values and be yourself (well, whatever version of yourself you feel most comfortable bringing to the office every day). It probably doesn’t maximise job offer conversions, but in my experience it maximises being in working environments that I’m most likely to enjoy and fit into well.

Edit: By honesty in interviews, I mean to a point. There’s some things you absolutely should lie about in interviews (if you’re confident you can get away with it). For instance “what’s your current salary” is a great question to lie about, that they really have no business asking anyway.

> The downside is that one company holds the keys to the castle for this particular security scheme.

And how exactly does that take away any of your freedom? You can still disable any or all parts of the verification chain at will, or enroll your own keys. No privilege has been taken away from you.

If you truly cared, you'd advocate for a way to make managing a self-signed trust chain less cumbersome, but you're instead advocating for the user to choose whether to compromise their security entirely. It's a lose-lose situation for a free software platform, ideally the user does not have to choose any compromises.

The tech world is full of mono/oligopolies. You're running an x86 CPU from one of two vendors, using a browser engine either made by Google or paid for by Google, etc. Not depending on any "one company" is as simple as not using a computer at all. Is that a compromise that you'd be ready to suggest?

> Thus, software freedom applies to everyone irrespective of skill level.

Only if your definition of freedom is as narrow as the fundamentalistic "four software freedoms". To someone else, their definition of computing freedom may go more like "I want to play my favourite computer game, but I only have one hour left this evening". At that point, "irrespective of skill level" is an utter lie: most games are significantly more difficult to run on free OS's.

Unless you mean Steam, but isn't that a platform owned by a single company?...
> Each applet uses the same amount of disk space (0 blocks, i.e. the content fits into inode).

Is that really the case? AFAIK, OpenWRT uses SquashFS by default, and a quick web search tells me that "[...] In addition, inode and directory data are highly compacted, and packed on byte boundaries. Each compressed inode is on average 8 bytes in length [...]" (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/squashfs....). That is, even if the content fits into the inode, it will make the inode use more space (they're variable-size, unlike on traditional filesystems with fixed-size inodes).

And using hardlinks (traditionally, we use hardlinks with busybox, not symlinks) goes even further: all commands use a single inode, the only extra space needed is for the directory entry (which you need anyway).
