The algorithm tests are there to have an excuse to discriminate on other criteria. If you can mask your racial/age/gender reason for not hiring as a FAANG with "oh, we didn't like their algorithm solution" you always have an out.

> Don't worry, you wont be there at the org to make these "fruitful conversations" either. The AI will take your job too

I've been waiting for something to take my job for 15 years.

I started as a small developer testing radio firmware, moved on to test web firmware, now I instruct terraform how to build infrastructure and now I instruct developers on how to do things to build proper infrastructure.

I'm ready to retire but apparently I'm incapable of having an AI that can actually simulate Super Power ADHD at work, so we'll have to wait a bit.

Should HN ban the discussion of mobile apps on smartphones on its platform?

The excessive use of mobile apps on smartphones has been linked to addiction and a range of negative effects on mental and physical health [0]. Should HN consider banning the use of mobile apps on smartphones on its platform in order to promote a healthier and more focused environment for discussions?

It is ultimately up to the moderators and administrators of a given website or forum to decide whether or not to allow generated responses from language models like ChatGPT. However, allowing such responses can potentially undermine the integrity and quality of discussions on the site, as they are not necessarily grounded in the knowledge and experiences of real people. Additionally, the use of language models to generate responses in order to game a site's reputation or ranking system can be considered dishonest and potentially harmful to the community. It may be best for websites and forums to disallow the use of language models to generate responses in order to maintain the integrity of the discussions on their platforms.

In the background, it's already happening for test and dev environments.

The technical term is "repatriation" and I can tell you those snowballs coming from S3 to your onsite aren't just for looks ;)

I wonder if we'll see a 3d printable version soon.

I'm thinking of putting it on the Mini 2 and seeing what happens.

Yes, the outside observers can see the item falling into the blackhole while the object experiences more and more time dilation.

If you were falling into a wormhole, you would die of old age before getting there while outside observers would see you fall in quickly.

> that don't have a have personal OSX laptop (required for publishing) nor Apple developer account at the moment.

So you don't need a developer account for development. If you use the same icloud account that's on the phone (I use an iPhone SE original edition), you can login to XCode and deploy your app to your phone for 7 days I believe. Great for development.

You're SOL on the Macbook though, ask around, maybe you have a buddy that can loan you one (or get a cheapo used macbook air with a busted display or something)

.... to be honest, fart humour is pretty universal. This could be a 16 year old kid to be honest :D

We don't teach pass by reference these days.

Anyone you find in the real world under ~30 years old may not even be aware that you can pass a reference and modify it directly without having to make a method return a value.

It's super cool to have someone explain to you side effects yet you show them a method with a null return and run it for them showing that the value has changed and they are mesmerized.

It's not so much batch these days as conditions.

Individual sellers probably use the same shipping method for every order and they may order in large batches which are transported at the same time. Although SSDs are a bit more resilient, hard temperature spikes in a single batch won't be detected after shipping. In the past, we would do this for hard drives because although parked heads are safe, high G-loads could actually unpark a head.

> instead of ignoring me took the path of questioning why would they pay for OSS.

Sorry, I thought you wanted support, not a therapist... Here's a local listing of professionals nearby.

> two SSDs with high reliability ratings fail for us sequentially in a RAID array in a server,

Happens all the time when you buy storage in batches. We learned a lesson, go through 3-4 suppliers and split your orders over a three month period. Buying from one place in bulk is just guaranteeing data loss in your future.

I'm very much surprised to see Skydio 2 on this list.

Although it's a robot, there's not much you can do with your code right now since the Skills SDK access has been heavily restricted.

I'm gonna be honest, I had never understood the "strict type" argument until right now. Seriously, since everything I work in is denoted as "cents" from backend to frontend, I personally had never understood the need so I'm part of today's lucky 10,000th.

Aesthetics would be a whole different ball game.

I mean, what's to stop someone from doing that using a basic ass LUT?

Not often, and we didn't get fined (they were like three blocks down the road)

It was really bad around the VolTE roll-out because the firmwares were pretty junky at that point (like a 10-1 failure rate) so we started doing testing calling from a phone to another (working) phone before doing the emergency services call.

This was one of my first jobs at Blackberry.

It was considered the utmost priority for a call to 911 to be clear enough for the other side to hear that you are an employee at a testing facility verifying that the device does work and the other person can hear you and NOT dispatch emergency services....

Cops/EMTs show up, your firmware is junk.

Damn it... here we go again! /me downloads Stardeus.

Honestly, it might be possible to do this magic by having the third party issue a signing certificate based on a hash.

Send me a hash as new data is added to your DB and I cut you a cert... the next cert includes hash of the last cert plus the new hash you just gave me...

Blockchains are great for one-thing... guarantee that data is being appended and never modified.

When you want to display a record, you can aggregate the data historically and allow people to see changes and attribute them to users and time but you can always see what was originally added.

However that's kinda risky for HR because anything committed to that DB will be there... forever!

That's the thing... Tesla and SpaceX were revolutionizing electric cars, batteries and launching humanity into the stars.

Twitter allows hot takes and racism, not exactly comparable.

> There is absolutely no way they could have proven that...

Our firewall says it's fine....

At $15/each, by the time we get back down to $15/BTC maybe it will buy me a candy bar.

Stare at it on my phone.

> A deflationary currency that lost 75% in value in a year

I don't know, my BTC is still worth one BTC.

I think it moved to the obituaries...

It's not so much "sub-linear" as "capable of being bypassed".

The CEAC State Department website is the most common one for me... the file upload only works in incognito and "once" per session. So people have figured out that you can log out, log back in and keep uploading your immigration paperwork.

> Is this side hustle approved and sanctioned by your employer the FAA, or have you gone and created something possibly on company (taxpayer) time which means the FAA actually has an ownership interest in poachme.dev?

Not employed by the FAA... I've created something on my own personal time and you seem to be upset, you should take something to help you.
