  1. Zed is snappy in the same way that notepad ++ is snappy: If you don't support 10% of language features you can avoid the hard work. Unfortunately this means that non trivial projects have false positive errors everywhere.
  2. Except a job offer is generally non binding, so they could interview you, offer the job, then withdraw it.

    So never being offered a job because it doesn't exist doesn't lose you anything.

  3. I just checked UK stats and from my reading of ONS's homicide data it's entirely possible it's around zero from burglary gone wrong.

    The us is only 5 times bigger

  4. That's not how casting works. It's actually super locked down: the TV loads a netflix website and you can't create your own Chromecast receivers.
  5. So that they have the flexibility to run it as a staff service with substantial delay by slotting it in later gaps in the schedule.

    No passenger would accept 30 mins delays every day.

  6. None of the things you mention are things I've seen in my union covered jobs in the UK.

    I've never heard of union rules here. Employees are not required to be part of the union in order to get their benefits, the unions just negotiate with employers on behalf of all employees. I've also never heard of credentials/gatekeeping for unions in the companies I've worked in.

    For reference, I was working as a software developer at a University on a research project: I got the benefits of the higher education university (nationally negotiated pay scales, holiday benefits, etc) but was not a member.

    Pay was lower, yes, but that wasn't mandatory; that was just the budget of a research project.

  7. Scraping is about harvesting data. Just using the API like any other user is clearly not scraping.

    Is browsing linkedin scraping? Is browsing hacker news through an alternate client scraping?

    No, scraping is rehosting hacker news.

  8. > Warranty Included

    > Every purchase is covered by a 1-year warranty for peace of mind protection.

    Uh, why are you marketing a bare minimum (often legally required) warranty as a pro? It kinda conflicts with "built to last"!

    You'd be better off not even mentioning it.

  9. Image data is just encapsulated: you just take a jpeg file and write it to bytes and wrap it a little.
  10. You're in the UK: take advantage of the various schemes that allow people with disabilities to get guaranteed first interviews.

    If you need any software job you might even have luck with graduate schemes at companies like BT who I believe will have similar shortcuts through recruitment for those with disabilities.

  11. Consider adding the widget/action to your quick actions: then to don't need to copy paste at least
  12. Well, we've made other situations where companies offer people money illegal. Such as bribery, or paying someone to steal trade secrets.
  13. But why should it take time at all? Newer developer tooling (especially some of the rust tools e.g. UV) are lightning fast.

    Wouldn't it be better if you asked for it and rather than having to manage workers it was just... Done

  14. Nvidia's parakeet https://huggingface.co/nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v2 appears to be state of the art for english: 10x faster than Whisper.

    My mid-range AMD CPU is multiple times faster than realtime with parakeet.

  15. It mentions ONNX, so I imagine an ONNX model is or will be available.

    ONNX runtime is a single library, with C#'s package being ~115MB compressed.

    Not tiny, but usually only a few lines to actually run and only a single dependency.

  16. Yes, a company will do very well if it fills itself with naive employees who think that if they work insane hours and sacrifice their life for equity (which they'll never get an exit event for) will do very well.

    But you don't want to be that employee...

  17. > This is so unusual of HN

    Is it? I see paragraphs of testimony from HN users who love anything whether that's a programming language, web framework, etc.

  18. The main issue I see is that it's impossible to know how hot a pan surface is, and food cooks very differently at the same temperature depending on things like moisture content. So how on earth do you know whether it's at high temperature?
  19. "we validate a method proposed by various authors before"

    Does this mean you expect them to add additional analysis to their paper evaluating it against your unpublished work? That's what validating would involve.

    I can see an argument for dropping the word novel, but it's a bit semantic as their approach is slightly different and your work isn't part of scientific literature.

    I can't see how adding a sentence referencing your work would make sense as it didn't contribute to theirs, and they did not assess it. It would simply confuse. The omission of your work makes it clear they didn't know about it while doing theirs, which provides the accurate context.

  20. Is your objection to the word "Novel" or to the refusal to reference your work?

    If they were not aware of your work, which is the only reasonable assumption, then their work is original and independent research. Almost all work is novel, unless you're arguing they have literally copied your work.

    Would you be happy if they dropped that single word?

    They would only need to cite you if you're a source. Unless they mention your work or results of your work you're not a source. It feels like you're just giving reviewer feedback that they should improve their introduction by giving more context, which is a quality of writing issue not an ethical one.

    If they were to mention you the reader would assume they knew about your work before publication, and the next question would be "why haven't they compared their model to their sources"

    Simultaneous publication happens all the time, and it's entirely possible for both papers to be novel. Asking the slower paper to redo work and rewrite just isn't practical, and could be a never ending treadmill.
