Ahead of Time, perhaps. (Of course the benefit of AOT is that you can take all the time in the world and only slow down the developer cycle without impacting users. In theory you can always build a slower AOT compiler with more optimizations, even/especially for higher level languages like JS. You can almost always trade off more build time and built executable size for more runtime optimizations. High level languages can almost always use Profiler Guided Optimization to do most things low level languages use low level data type optimization paths for.)

A benefit to a good JIT, though, is that you can converge to such optimizations over time based on practical usage information. You trade off less optimized startup paths for Profiler Guided Optimization on the live running application, in real time based on real data structures.

JS has some incredible JITs very well optimized for browser tab life-cycles. They can eventually optimize things at a low level far further than you might expect. The eventually of a JIT is of course the rough trade-off, but this also is well optimized for a lot of the browser tab life-cycle: you generally have an interesting balance of short-lived tabs where performance isn't critical and download size is worth minimizing, versus tabs that are short-lived but you return to often and can cache compiled output so each new visit is slightly faster than the last, versus a few long-lived tabs where performance matters and they generally have plenty of time to run and optimize.

This is why Node/Deno/et al excel in long-running server applications/services (including `--watch` modes) and "one-off"/"single run" build tools can be a bit of a worst case, they may not give the JIT enough time or warning to fully optimize things, especially when they start with no previous compilation cache every time. (The article points out that this is something you can turn on now in Node.)

In my experience, It Depends

For big flagship services you can usually get pretty good support (EC2, S3, SQS, Lambda)

For smaller/more niche services where AWS stood up a managed version of some OSS it's more hit and miss (like managed RabbitMQ).

In both cases, it definitely helps to have an open line to your TAM and send them case numbers and they'll usually do some internal nudging to keep things moving. In addition, for projects, you can usually reach out ahead of time and get some dedicated SMEs to help set things up/train you.

In either case, hopefully you've never had the displeasure of working with Azure support.

Almost all these social justice oriented programs tend to be a waste of money. But they’re also generally lacking in transparency and accountability. If you don’t have to show results or prove your value, it creates the right conditions for fraudulent grift. Taxpayers and voters seemingly say yes to candidates and programs of this type that seem like positive ideas but never think that these programs are just a transfer of their taxpayer money to a few well connected individuals.

> Much of esbuild's performance gains are in throwing out a lot of cruft.

I don’t think there’s a great way to be sure of this.
Parcel 2 (my personal favorite), for example, doesn’t include, by default, much of the cruft from mid-2010s JavaScript, but esbuild is still faster.

Theoretically, being able to use multiple cores would bring speed improvements to a lot of the tree manipulation tasks involved in building js projects.

> esbuild versus webpack performance is never a fair fight.

Yeah webpack is just the worst. Bloated from day 1

I guess yes
We also all pay the price when state insurance minimums don't keep up with replacement, repair, or medical costs.

- $25k bodily injury coverage might cover CT scans and a broken bone at best.

- $25k property damage coverage might cover replacement of the bottom 25% of vehicles sold the last 5 years.
Global lat/long coordinates are defined in terms of coordinate systems like WGS84 or ITRF2020, which are themselves the result of relative measurements between reference stations.

The earth's crust floats on top of liquid rock. This matters at relevant length and time scales; in most places, these effects alone are on the order of millimeters per year. One reason why it's better to use NAD83 over WGS84 in North America is that NAD83 latitudes and longitudes move with the North American plate.

Positions _are_ relative, and the closer you can put your datum, the less drift you'll accumulate.

It’s interesting how Egypt’s efforts to monitor and test for malaria contributed to this accomplishment. It underscores how eradicating many infectious diseases will require a deep understanding not only of the disease itself, but also the cycles of transmission and the complex ecology of different hosts.

Malaria’s complex lifecycle [1] seems like it would be easy to “break” with different interventions, but we’ve seen historically malaria has been difficult to eradicate. Why is this?

I think the point of this is that the P550 dev board is now starting to ship and be available “in the wild”. In which case, the press release might be a better link:

https://www.sifive.com/press/hifive-premier-p550-development...

From what I can tell, this is the early access version, not the Ubuntu version touted in the YouTube video. But, hopefully this will start to make RISC-V boards more widely available and mainstream. Especially as this dev board looks to include some necessary IO comforts.
I have the same bill as yours, $1200 per year, for two adult drivers. The $20k is for four kids, which is believable, since $5000 for a young driver is reasonable.

IA is sooooo important we can't even undo the clusterfuck that is the disney-bought copyright system.

The black woman on the bus refusing to give up her seat was also 100% legally obviously in the wrong. IA lost not because what they were doing was morally wrong, but because each and every one of us continually refuses to agitate for the kind of change that would benefit the world.

If you want the public to have a library, you must enshrine that library's right to exist and operate in law, or it will never survive legal challenges from IP holders. Physical libraries would never be allowed to exist in modern America, not without 100 years of precedence of the first sale doctrine. You can bet your ass disney would have tried to kill such a thing. Freely watch our movies? No chance.

Used car market is limited by new car market sales.

I think the used car market might be crazy right now.

When COVID hit and everyone was clamoring for used cars because new cars couldn't be made/imported, I took my wife's low-end car to CarMax for an appraisal. It was a fair offer, but I didn't bite.

All these years, and 25,000 miles later, I brought the same car back to CarMax a couple of weeks ago, and the appraisal was almost double what they offered the first time. This time I let them have it.

I don't see a lot of talk about used car demand anymore, but based on my experience, I think it's still high.

Despite being bundled together, UX and UI are quite different. The problem space is also quite large.

UI-wise I second the recommendation of starting with an existing component library. Bootstrap is still a good start.

UX-wise - which would be the process of determining the process, I recommend taking a look at the “breadboarding” approach as described here.

https://basecamp.com/shapeup/1.3-chapter-04

For this, all you need is pen and paper. The process is low fidelity, cheap, and lets you quickly flesh out your ideas toward concrete screens at which point you can reach out for the component library.

Meanwhile, a terrorist on US soil has openly threatened [1] to blow up Air India flights again [1] with specific dates. That doesn't qualify under free speech protections, does it?

He's a US and Canadian dual citizen, the US government has been trying to protect him by giving him intelligence about threats against him, in Canada the CBC has been interviewing him and he said he's in regular touch with Trudeau.

Very strange just like the 1984 bombing of Air India that took off from Canada by the same Khalistan terrorists, killing 350 people of Indian origin including about 80 children. The investigation in Canada was completely botched and let the terrorists go free.

There was less of a correlation than you'd think, almost none. But we also operate in states where it's illegal to discriminate on the basis of gender so it makes sense that this plays out in the data. So, important to note that we are gathering premium prices, which may not accurately reflect risk for particular subgroups due to regulation. So whether or not teenage boys are riskier than teenage girls would require a different set of data.
Maybe it means fewer people being born in car-producing and exporting countries.

This is such a ridiculous argument. You can't equivocate the USA to Venezuela. The USA has SO SO much more going for it. The USA wouldn't suddenly turn into Venezuela if we taxed the hell out of rich people, don't be absurd. The GINI coefficient of Venezuela is WORSE than the USA, it is LESS flat. Venezuela is stupidly corrupt, has had like a million coups, has it's affairs constantly meddled with by other governments. The Netherlands, Finland, Norway etc are much flatter than the USA and weirdly they haven't turned into Venezuela.
I think it's clear that AI detectors don't work. The only thing that may work is if a bunch of people use AI, their code will be identical or almost identical.

But overall as someone who teaches a computational class where students write code, I'm still at loss on how to deal with ChatGPT-cheating.

So far I'm using
1) referring to lecture notes when discussing possible methods to solve problems
2) converting problems to images to make it harder to copy-paste into chatgpt
3) Being stricter for code that is almost correct but does not run
4) Using hidden datasets, or input data-files that needs to be processed to figure the best solution

But it's all a bit futile I feel.
It of course depends on what you’re hiring for, what qualities you value, and the scale you’re working at. But:

> I want to assess how you think, not which tools you use

suggests you have a more nuanced approach and aren’t just aiming for large numbers of drones.

What worked well for me (in a couple of smaller companies/teams) was:

- Talk to the candidates about their experiences in a project-oriented course where they had to work in a team. (Most CS programs have at least one of these. Get the name of that course ahead of time and just ask about it.) You want to find out if they can work in a team, divide up work and achieve interim goals, finish a project, deal with conflicts, handle setbacks and learn from mistakes, etc.

- Similarly, find out the names of some of the harder elective courses, and ask about their experiences in these. This gets at what they find interesting, how they think, and can help filter out GPA gamers.

- Talk to them about their experiences in whatever jobs, internships, volunteer work, or extracurricular activities they engaged in while at school. It doesn’t have to be directly related to your field—-you’re screening for work ethic and initiative.

Admittedly it’s been a while, but we used this approach for both on-campus recruiting and remote phone screens, and got pretty good at hitting these topics in a 15-20 minute conversation. We’d have one or two people screen maybe 30-50 candidates each recruiting season, identify 5-10 for on-site interviews with a larger team, and end up hiring about half of those.

This sort of bespoke screening does take some work on your part, and can be tough to scale. But we found it consistently identified solid candidates and led to outstanding hires.

> I listened to a podcast[1] a few months ago which proposed the (IMHO) more innovative idea of using giant, ultra-light foil mirrors in space to sell sunlight to existing solar farms at night.

It's subtle, but people who are self driven and learning for the sake of learning will talk differently. They tend to include more nuance and detail, addressing the subtle things. To be able to see those things requires internalization of what's learned, not just memorization. If you get good at it, you can do pretty well at recognizing these people even when they're in a different subject domain.

Remember, outside CS no one else does whiteboard interviews or takehome tests. It's generally a few conversations and that's it. It's because experts been sniff out other experts in their domain fairly quickly. It's about *how* they think, not what they know.

I'll give you an example of something subtle but is a frequent annoyance for me and I'm sure many others. You're on a webpage that asks for your country. Easy, just put in a drop-down, right? But what's much much better it's to use the localization information of the browser to place a copy of that country at the top of the list (a copy, not move). Sure, it saves us just scrolling to the bottom, but my partner is Korean and she never knows if she's looking for K(orea), S(outh Korea), or R(epublic of Korea). This happens for a surprising number of countries. Each individual use might just save a second or two of time, but remember you also need to multiply that by the number of times people interact with that page, so it can be millions of seconds. It'll also just leave users far less frustrated.

I'm also very sympathetic to the jitters stuff, because I get it a lot and make dumb mistakes when in the spotlight lol. But you can often find these things in other work they've done if they include their GitHub. Even something small like a dotfiles repo. And if the interview is more about validation their experience, the attention to detail and deeper knowledge will still show up in discussions especially if you get them to talk about something they're passionate about.

I'd also say that GPA and school names are very noisy (incidentally that often means internships too, since these strongly correlate). I know plenty of people from top 3 schools who do not know very basic things but have done rounds at top companies and can do leet code. But they're like GPT or people who complain about math word problems, they won't generalize and recognize these things in the wild. Overfit and studies to the test (this is a subtle thing you can use while interviewing too)
Ask HN: Begin startup based on own side project open-sourced through my employer
I work at a FAANG-size company (moonlighting friendly in theory) and have a side project that I've built mostly in my free time, a bit during work hours, and had it recently approved by the legal department for open-sourcing and it's now available in public on GitHub with an MIT license for everything.

Since the MIT license allows anyone to do whatever they want with the project, including commercial use and creating derivatives, I'm tempted now to create a startup based on the project - basically fork it and work in private on it, extending and improving it a lot (make it worth buying it compared to OSS version), then rebrand and launch it as a subscription app.

This future work would not touch any company-owned hardware and resources, unlike the work that got open-sourced (that was the reason it's now on the company's GitHub account and not mine, was happy enough open-sourcing went smoothly through approvals).

The moonlighting policy is fairly permissive, but also somewhat vague especially about what a competing product is (whole product or a small module in a larger product is enough). The other restrictions are the usual, don't use company hardware, time, connections to do the work.

There are several concerns I have and I'm also curious if others have dealt with a similar situation and have some advice:

- my fear is that even if I'm following the moonlighting policies from now on, they could later still claim ownership of my work based on the pre-OSS work. If someone else outside the company would fork the OSS repo there should be no problems given the MIT license, it's what these companies are doing all the time by wrapping Postgres and the like...
- the company doesn't have a stand-alone product it sells similar to my app, but there is one small module similar to it part of a huge app. I assume that is enough to argue that my app is a competitor if one wants to.

Given this, feels like safest would be to quit my job before even starting to work on this, but of course I'd like to avoid that, with the startup maybe not working out. Switching to another company is another option, but seems others have even worse or no moonlighting. Last option, work on it while employed and hope I won't get sued. Maybe quit around the time I'm close to be done with a v1 and start marketing to reduce risk a bit.

As for the company itself, I'm not seeking funding and don't see it getting to some multi-million/y business, at best enough to make a full-time job out of it. Maybe that's enough to not make it worth suing.
