>It's now considered pretty outdated, with most of Marxist thought having moved on to less rigid modes of conceptualizing history and geopolitics, like Western Marxism (Frankfurt School), Autonomist Marxism, Eco-Marxism, Libertarian Marxism, Structural Marxism, etc.

I think that's not true. It is incorrect to compare the practice of Marxism-Leninism, and it's philosophy formed with such practice, with purely imaginary pink-glass-self-reflection fantasy.

Let them seize power in somewhat large country and hold it for at least a couple of decades - and then say how these movements are "less rigid". Or compare the voiced fantasies with Lenin's pre-revolutionary fantasies (remembering that they were practical enough to seize power and push it's philosophy on half of the planet), if you really want to show the difference between them and outdating of the latter.
Not just recommending it again, but exactly the same comment.
Something very like that was a Launch HN in, I think, 2021. "Skip the Interview" was the name, I believe. But no doubt with that example to learn from it will go at least a little better this time.
Me as well.

As I recall, regions were essentially something akin to an array of run-length-encodings for each scan line (where, additionally, there was a sentinel or some way to indicate the next n rows are the same as the previous). The fun part is then writing a set of routines to union, difference, etc. pairs of these RLE region objects (and here I use the word 'object' loosely).
It’s a major improvement but you still want to be careful on what you consider common knowledge. There’s a lot of breadth to software engineering and there can be whole areas someone is missing but can learn.

For example I was always a great employee but early in my career I wasn’t big on unit testing.

Or I interviewed for an ML job and they dinged me for not knowing a bunch of statistics things off the top of my head.
Kudos. It would have been nice to see benchmarks compared to Nginx, since it's extremely popular.

I'm not using any of the other servers in the benchmark so it's meaningless to me.
But I need to stop and use a gas nozzle every other week or so, meanwhile I use a public charger maybe once a quarter if even that.

I spend way more time waiting on a gas pump than I do waiting on a public EV charger, and I do way more miles on my EV.
i like enthusiasm but,

every electric outlet which can provide 2500watts ( 110v x 25A ) is capable to charge electric car to 70 miles of range while you sleep. while you sleep means you do not wait, you do not miss anything, you do nothing, you do not think about it, you are sleeping while you charge, like your freaking mobile phone.

so yes gas pumps vs electric charging spots, is interesting milestone, but forgot to add or mention millions of outlets in every US state which can be use to top up AND are already installed by millions for decades already ? Hmm.... I wonder if person writing about electric cars does even own one.

Charging from solar? Doable.
Making 80+% of your yearly hot water just from solar PV is doable. So please do.
I've worked on a similar setup in Go — managing a pool of "always-on" containers for isolated task execution via docker exec. The official Docker SDK is solid but pretty low-level, so I get the desire for something more ergonomic.
In my experience, there aren't many off-the-shelf Go libraries that give you full orchestration primitives (load balancing, health checks, scheduling) out of the box like you'd find in Nomad or K8s. But here are a few options worth exploring:

gofiber/fiber – not container-specific, but useful for building lightweight async schedulers if you're rolling your own orchestration logic.

dockertest – primarily for testing, but you can adapt its logic for simplified lifecycle management.

hashicorp/go-plugin – good for decoupling workloads, especially if you're considering container-based isolation per plugin/command.

That said, most teams I’ve seen build their own lightweight layer on top of the Docker SDK with Redis or internal queues for tracking load/health. Curious if you're doing multi-host management or keeping this local?
Also, make sure to aggressively timeout and clean up zombie exec sessions — they sneak up fast when you're doing docker exec a lot.

Would love to hear more if you open source anything from this!
> But, I bet many have thanked their boss for the opportunity given to them.

I literally don't know anybody who has any desire of expressing gratitude to their boss for the "opportunity" given to them. What kind of servile lapdogs do consider their work an "opportunity"? How about the bosses realize that without workers, their businesses will implode, and thank their workers for the "opportunity" to have a working business instead?

Jobs are an exchange of a worker's time and skills for a wage. If you expect workers with a touch servility on top, I suggest you go back to the medieval times of lords and servants.

Textok rebrands to Writitude to avoid TikTok mix-up
Textok, a tool that helps content teams and marketers automate their brand voice and style guides, is rebranding as Writitude. The SaaS platform addresses a common challenge for marketing professionals — maintaining consistency in brand communication across all written content.

“After six months on the market, we realized we never want to be confused with a certain short video app.. again!” said Olga Procevska, co-founder of Writitude. “We are a tool for brands with an attitude — companies that care deeply about the quality and tone of their texts. That’s why we’re embracing our new name, Writitude.”

Along with the rebrand, Writitude is introducing AI-powered editing for all paid subscribers. The new feature helps copywriters refine their work while preserving full creative control. Writers and communication managers can now paraphrase complex sentences, condense lengthy sections, check grammar and at the same time ensure that every piece of content aligns with their brand’s unique tone of voice.

“We’ve been interviewing content leaders from all around the world, and they’ve made it clear — they don’t want AI to write FOR them,” said Katya Firyan, co-founder of Writitude. “What they need is a smart assistant that helps with ideation, refinement, and consistency.”

To celebrate the rebrand, Writitude (writitude.com) is offering an extended free Premium trial to writers and communication professionals who book a 30-minute feedback session. The Premium plan enables users to create up to 10 custom style and tone guidelines and share them with their creative teams, ensuring brand consistency across all content.

Not OP, and also not a web server genius, but I read OP's comment as allowing server administers to write policy in OPA then just using https://github.com/microsoft/regorus/ to determine whether to allow or forbid the connection. The web server author can clearly document what is available in input/data to be checked against in the policy. Is it really more complicated than that?
Earth gets over 170,000 terawatts of solar energy every day—10,000 times more than humanity uses. Losing just a fraction of our cloud cover means a massive, invisible throttle is coming off the climate system. If this trend holds, we’re not just warming—we’re stepping on the gas.

> What does it say about the tech industry that so many orgs continued to use a system that was known to be broken for so long?

That they tried to scale hiring. I don't think that technical interviews are bad per se, it's the form in which they are currently that is bad. I was once applying for a company working on a stage animation software - somebody there created a task relevant to their workflow, they specified which libraries I should use and then gave me 14 days, after which I sent them a link to Github repo with the code. It was overall a pleasant experience - I learned something new programing this task, they were able to access my code style and programing abilities - but this was long before AI. They were a fairly small company though.

In the large orgs you have a HR person overseeing a hiring who doesn't know how to code (fair enough - not their job) and bunch of engineers usually far to busy with actual problems to create a problem set and far to many applicants. So companies drop leetcode at the problem - thinking that any selection criteria is better than non selection criteria.

That's really not enough or the same, trust me. You can't outsource your entire understanding to ChatGPT, and I say this as someone who's keen on getting help from AI assistants to write boilerplate code, rubberduck bugs or debate design decisions
But then you should call the thing to be solved "problem of good governance" instead, and that is something that indeed may take centuries. Bad governance will manifest itself in a multitude of problems that have no intrinsic organic relationships amongst them, and I am not sure if it makes sense to split them into sub-categories.

In the past, hunger was quite often a quantity problem. If a period of bad weather hit Medieval Europe, there wouldn't be any practical way how to import food for the entire continent from, say, India.

In this sense, hunger is being solved.
1. That still doesn't make it okay.

2. No, you're not allowed to lie until blue in the face when selling; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_advertising is illegal. (Is it underunforced? Probably. Do I wish those laws had much stronger restrictions and harsher penalties? Yep. But is it illegal to lie to sell things? Still yes.)

(IANAL and this isn't legal advice. Though it is moral advice.)
It would take a very senior coder to be able to make sense of the code base and start fixing a bug in the duration of an interview.

Plus the code base will involve technologies they are not familiar with; rarely does everyone know every technology needed beforehand.
Sure, but when you’re on a road trip and need to charge, “at home” means nothing. Just last month I ended up waiting almost 35 minutes to charge for 10 minutes because my wife had run the car low enough that we couldn’t get home without charging. We charge at home 99.999% of the time but when I need to charge on the go, waiting 30 minutes isn’t really an acceptable solution.

Kudos to California, here’s hoping other states follow suit. I’d estimate we need about double the fast chargers as gas station nozzles to provide acceptable wait times once there’s mass EV adoption (assuming no dramatic increase in charging speeds).
It's all here. This seems to be their playbook: https://www.hudsonbaycapital.com/documents/FG/hudsonbay/rese...

Oh, I see the problem. You've aimed your LinkedIn bot at Hacker News. You should really sort that out.

I am always confused when i see electric car review and reviewer says "you have nice big front trunk to store your charging cables." My cables are hanging on wall of my garage darling! Why the heck do i need to transport them ? XD

> As for beef, maybe once in awhile, but feeding a 1,200+ pound animal enough antibiotics for months to increase its weight that extra 5% is going to cost you nearly as much as the entire animal is worth.

Is this true? I can't find any source for this claim, just some old papers that suggest the number is closer to 30%, and various government sites that imply the practice is still in place around the world.
The GP's point about the energy density of gasoline and how quickly it can be transferred is not refuted by this irrelevant statistic; indeed, reading the same statistic with a pessimistic interpretation makes my point: if the median trip distance is 200 miles, about half of trips are longer than an EV battery charge, requiring a long refuel stop.

Half is a lot of trips to give up by switching to an EV!

Lithium-ion batteries in badly made cars are prone to ...combustion.
The current bet is more towards even faster chargers, possibly with batteries supporting them in the back.

They can? My understanding was that with a well-designed symmetric algorithm and a key with enough entropy this shouldn't be possible.
That doesn’t make it “extremely common”.
People are attracted by stories, not facts.

If the story is true, good.
Facts without a story lose against stories without facts.

That’s why populism is so successful.

If facts would matter Trump would be president.

The facts were all known beforehand and are now, but many don’t care about facts.

People aren’t as rational as myths like the homo economicus try to make us believe.

Just look at ads. They sell emotions not facts.
They are doing neither, and the article itself undermines its premise later when the "serious research" is being quoted. As it cites, most offender get exposed during early teens, back when there were no porn algorithms. However, the rate of child sexual abuse has steadily decreased since the 1990s, down by almost 50%. If the hypothesis of the article was correct then the rate of child sexual abuse should increase, not decrease.

Other research studies, have looked at the rate of pedophilia in the general population, and the conclusions seems to be a fairly static rate of around 2% (like "Prevalence, situation, and perspectives of treatment" from 2020). However since the rate of child sexual abuse has decreased, such studies mostly rely on doing survey and those has for obvious reasons a major problem of sampling and accuracy.

A common theme in the research, just from a very quick look, is that the researcher themselves cite that the is a huge lack of research in this area. They can see the trend, and see the numbers, but there is little to real understanding to what is behind the numbers. We currently has as good chance to blame the Catholic Church as to blame pornhub, and articles like this one are not helping the slightest. At best it just spreading fear in order to generate engagement, and at worst they are abusing their readers by pushing propaganda in order to sway popular opinion about oppressive laws.
"You are incredibly wrong." is such a great rebuttal. It applies in any situation and you don't even have to bring any evidence.

My rebuttal to your rebuttal: You are incredibly wrong.

(And who cares if it was the police or the courts? Both are branches of the government. And if the court order was as you described, then why did the police march someone off in handcuffs for speaking Arabic privately to another person who spoke Arabic?)
How large a scale and with how many countries participating would cloud seeding be able to reverse these effects? Last I remember it was only a few countries in Asia that were attempting anything of the sort.
Yes, but that unfortunate choice of labeling is what allows those who are less scientifically intelligent to say things to all their friends like, “Look at all this snow, ‘global warming’ right!” As if that is some sort of slam dunk against a “climate agenda”. Even when the trend is for worsening storm seasons, more and more wild temperature swings, and the increasing amount of land burned by wildfires, there are plenty who will still just claim it is “bad luck” and a natural process because “we don’t have weather data to go back millions of years”. A lot of that response was the direct result of the choice to call it “global warming” instead of the more accepted (at the time) “climate change”, which is what I think they were pointing out.
He wants to devalue the USD to make manufacturing more cost effective. For that he needs leverage. Plus tariffs raise money so can fund tax breaks. Read the essay I linked to in my other comment. It's all there.
I don’t see any contradiction or failure to follow own ideals here.

It's like blaming a slave who believes that slavery shouldn't exist, for eating his master's food.
What is your interview process then?
Thank you so much! Will investigate.
yeah and most electric cars can pay for you automatically, without you doing anything, so no need to worry that someone sneezes on your back while in queue.
To clarify I’d intend the interviewer to do most of work that requires inside knowledge.

The interviewee could suggest the specific implementations within that.

Eg. We need to hook into our fubu system. Here’s our library for that. How would you code that?
No, I’ve road tripped around the country with both types of vehicles. It’s delusional. And I’m not anti-EV by any means, I like them, but when you do need to use public charging, it sucks.

The charger may be right on the on your route, which is nice, but it often isn’t. If it’s five minutes out of the way, that’s an extra 10 minutes on my trip +20 minutes of charging. That’s a half hour where a gas station would’ve been three minutes. There are a good amount of times when it is more than five minutes away.

That’s extremely common and even supposes the chargers are available, I remembered to pre-condition the battery, etc. all of those are not given.

And for preservation of battery life you’re really operating with 60% of the stated capacity because you’re keeping it between 20 and 80 all the time. So a 250 mile range is really 150. I have had it happen where I drive two hours, spend a half hour charging, rinse, repeat on a road trip.

The problem with battery packs is that batteries age. It's not like returning a propane tank and getting a full one. If you just bought your car and you go to refuel and they swap your once used battery pack with one that's seen ten thousand charge cycles you aren't getting a fair deal.

It's one thing when people actually seek it out. But the idea that someone may get charged for a video they didn't realise contains underage people is chilling. I know one tiny woman who in her 30s still could pass for a highschooler and will probably be carded for many years to come. On the other hand I went to high school with a couple of people who could pass for 25+ year olds easily. Without personally checking someone's id, you just can't know for sure. So even if you'd want to avoid illegal material - how sure are you you're safe?

To be conservative with change that would be to the benefit of others is to deny them hope.

I don't understand. Why would much of the vocabulary be dedicated to rare Chinese characters? Wouldn't those need to show up in the training data first? And if they did, wouldn't they also show up as weird byte sequences? And aren't UTF-8 byte sequences kinda risky for everything other than ASCII, since only ASCII bytes and header bytes are unambiguous, whereas following bytes (10***) are very ambiguous individually? I mean, sure, the LLM would notice that their meaning changes depending on preceding following- and header-bytes, but it is still not clear to me, why UTF-8 bytes are better for LLMs than characters (or even grapheme clusters). UTF-8 bytes seem like a very arbitrary choice to me. Why not do UTF-9 instead and get the most important Latin letters as single ninebitbytes?
My brain turns off when someone says "leftist", tell us you're a conservative without telling us. The internet used to be nuanced, those were the days.
