Remember, city governments aren't there to help the population of the city, they're there to help the people in town with the means to engage in local politics. This normally means business owners and home owners. There is a lot o

The point of changing your password is to prevent a password leak from affecting your system. If an unauthorized user has a password they have access until it's changed. If the change isn't meaningful they can continue using crede

It never was, on August 19, 2004 they went public. That day they became the same as any pharma company/oil company/Nestle. The shareholders will always win

It makes sense, if the US is going to push against Huawei. Especially since Intel actually compromised their on chip random number generator a few years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDRAND Relevant quote "I

This is a big problem with the culture section of the Times. They really don't think/write for the average consumer. Last week a saw them use the word "Staning" in an article, it's really baffling editorial decision

This is fantastic! I love the unintended economic systems games create! I really wish this was a freemium game though... this seems really shitty for a $45 game to need to grind for hours on end.

Python, unlike a C executable, could hypothetically stop working tomorrow. Researchers who have code that works/businesses don't give a shit about the esoteric differences between py2 and py3, they just want their stuff to keep wo

I don't really understand the argument, most startups explicitly have a goal/off ramp. The government is the exact opposite in terms of goals...

They make efforts to cast the coders as young people who can be swayed by marketing gimmicks instead of real workplace concerns like benefits, livability, consistent work/life balance. That culture permiates the entire engineering cult

In my opinion courses wouldn't change behavior, modern computer science is designed to infantalize coders and make them interchangeable. Think of all the effort startups put into marketing themselves as "COOL TO WORK FOR"&#x2

You would be surprised, if managament is broken to it's core, the situation is "Do this unethical thing or we'll find someone who will!" Computer Scientists aren't usually taught engineering ethics and definitely ge

Is Julia getting more stable? I remember that was the big issue a few years ago, especially since it calls so many weird CUDA apis.

Very odd that this paper only has 2 citations. Seems like a nice general overview of the topic.

Never understand? I mostly use Git CLI, and it's a big pain. Weird terminology, needing to memorize branch names for easy use, differences between staged and pushed commits. And when you mess your incantation you ripped from SO up you

Soooooo people are just supposed to give you very expensive highly specific consulting... And you don't seem to value your product much or have a specific technical idea how to proceed. 10/10 Hackernews today

I hear this argument brought up a lot relating to minimum wage at McDonalds. "IF THEY RAISE IT THEY'LL JUST FIRE EVERYONE". Guess what, they already started replacing cashiers with touch screens. Those 400k would've been

It's been longer then that. We had a bit of a false sense of security because subscriber based papers were big for a few decades, but advertisers have always been king

You may think it's worth paying for, but your average consume will not. It makes sense from a consumer point of view, how am I to know if this "superior" experience is worth my money if I haven't tried it. How do I know

"- Credentials, including graduate degrees, are no guarantee that someone is a good engineer" Too true, I've started to recruit non-CS people and teaching them how to code. The state of CS education in the US is insanely inco

All hiring is extremely arbitrary. The reason coding is so bad is because there's this huge myth of lower class workers becoming coders overnight, just by studying for a few months of leet code. There is an essay about the feminist mov

A lot of articles posted on hacker news are by people who don't really understand what they're talking about, but use a lot of emotionally charged language. A lot of times this is fine, because it's articulating something tha

This whole post has a Factorio vibe of x->y->z, I'd read a blog from this author just breaking down infrastructure.

I disagree, the article was pretty decent. And it had some nice images.

Didn't they get rid of square icons very recently? I feel like the Android app store is trying to explicitly make small apps look old by updated the format every couple weeks. The only apps that look right on your screen are the ones t
