Hi! I'm Conner, I've worked across a variety of technologies, but generally focusing on backend, cloud infrastructure, system design, pipelines, data/platform engineering and visualization of data. I'm a bit of a generalist and interested in pretty much anything- if you are interested, feel free to reach out! I'd love to chat.

Conversely, maybe some Twitter clone does replace Twitter! Using TikTok as your example, it killed Triller which was (and still is) moderately popular. Even further, Triller was mostly just an iteration of Vine. Vine was definitely the first of line though, I can't think of any earlier mobile-first video sharing social media platforms.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, IME the exchange rate always stays the same, there's just more built-in cost to account for things like trading for XMR and back out. This is generally how it goes for IRL cash as well. It's common for things to be cheaper in XMR as well, given that part of the equation has already been accounted for.

I'm sure it likely sold for enough that the owners can retire early and wealthy. Maybe they'd get more money serving ads, or maybe it's a fad and it dies out in a month or two. I'd rather just take the payout and move onto other personal projects, given that Wordle is pretty much complete.

A lot of this game is yet to be solved- it would be rather unfortunate if one of the most useful words in a top strategy happened to be a slur, meaning that those wishing to "solve" the game would likely have to include said slur in their strategy.

Otherwise, yes, it should rarely be an issue.

This person seems to be stating that grads of these schools are of good quality, not that they are necessarily successful in the workforce.

In my opinion, the biggest upside of CSU's is that they provide a vastly more diverse student body. There's a greater range of financial situations, age groups, and ethnicities. I feel this experience working with folks from a variety of backgrounds is an essential part of a strong candidate.

I'm personally not really on one side or another. "Alternative" paths (e.g. CSU's, community college, no school) seem to create candidates that have had a diverse life experience. Top UC's/private schools create candidates that are regarded as more academic.

That's just my take on it, and I feel that people being on one side or the other is mostly due to which of these stereotypes that person prefers.

This is not really a false dichotomy. The only other option would be to delay/cancel this project to just do the same thing in the same way somewhere else, which isn't really that different of an option.

For your example, it is almost literally impossible to destroy enough SFH's to build skyscraper apartments (where do these people go?) even if these SFH lots were somehow also zoned for massive skyscrapers (which they are certainly not).

I think your example is not necessarily a bad idea either, it's just an impossible idea. Nowadays we just can't simply displace thousands of people and then build structures in areas that aren't zoned for those structures.

It could have something to do with the general idea of large numbers (e.g. 10,000) meaning a long time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_thousand_years

As a result, even though 万 literally means 10,000, it is possible that 万 is used as more of a general idea for longevity. However, the article using the world "literally" would still be incorrect, I suppose!

Anyways, just figured that might clear up a small part of your question, since the usage of 万 is not necessarily literal in many East Asian languages.

Throughout the last year or so, I've seen multiple people on HN call out polyunsaturated fats, is there a specific reason for that? Google hasn't really turned up anything for me that looked particularly compelling.

Yeah, the USPS cannot open your mail without a warrant, which is a pretty nice assurance to have. That would be pretty bad if it was how you described- all the more reason for us to make sure the USPS stays around :)

Edit: Note, this is a "nice assurance to have" because private shipping companies generally reserve the right to open anything that they are shipping.

Double FYI, the USPS does sell personal data when you do a change-of-address:

Overnighted cash drops to a PO box are fairly reliable. Localbitcoins and its spinoffs used to be a popular option, but it seems they're a shell of their former selves.

It's definitely a lot more difficult nowadays, though.

Yeah I suppose that's the crux of it. I really like that first popup that LibreOffice has when you open it up where you can specify encoding, delimiters, etc.

LibreOffice does a similar amount of clobbering, but in general it notifies you of any would-be clobbering and allows you to abort beforehand, which is really nice. I still avoid exporting via LibreOffice though for very sensitive situations, but it is noticeably better still.

LibreOffice is generally a little less aggressive about formatting, but still has issues similar to Excel.

For me personally, I usually view things in Excel/LO but don't save, and if I need to modify anything I'll use a text editor for one-off changes, or I'll use something like Python with the pandas library for more programmatic changes. Pandas does have issues forcing timestamps to convert sometimes, but that can be easily configured. Otherwise, no problems with this method.

There's definitely a lot of friction if you want to edit .CSV's without your formatting/encoding being altered, unfortunately.

Furthermore, it's unlikely that a company would simply drop X% of employees based on performance.

For example, one could be better than 90% of employees, but if they're highly specialized on a team/product that is getting phased out and they don't have transferable skills to move internally, they may get laid off even if they're not in the bottom % of whoever was getting laid off.

It definitely is an interesting thing to think about, but I agree that there are some holes to the logic.

What makes it "not even comparable"?

The Q2 is good, and certainly a better value, but I'm not sure I'd say "not even comparable".
