Still working on my multiplayer LAN spaceship bridge simulator game called Space Nerds in Space[1], possibly the worst genre of game to be working on with coronavirus on the loose, since it involves inviting people over to touch your keyboards.

Seems legit. We already had one of the largest single day jumps in the stock market the day after one of the largest drops and the day before another one of the largest drops.
It's nice to see how humbly and sensitive Drosten reacts to his unwanted power now.
A little off-topic (please don't hate me): could anyone recommend a good sci-fi novel about people first exploring Mars (or some other planet for that matter)? I figure there must be some good ones around, as the subject obviously offers much room (no pun intended) for cool plot ideas, but I don't know a lot about the genre. Classics welcome, but no spoilers please. Thank you!
Using S3 and CloudFront to serve static content and I doubt you'd break out of free tier.

If you need dynamic content served from a CMS, put your CMS's public API behind cloudfront and bust it when the owner makes changes.

For websites that don't get edited a lot, you can use lambda to store the website content as a JSON file which sits on S3 (somewhere like /content.json).

If you have multiple editors, use Dynamo or Firebase as the content store (again, behind cloudfront).

With every one of these options, the most expensive part would be the domain name.
the app would have rights to clone data locally, however certain 'fields' would source content via key from source of truth... for instance username/profile name... so that if you revoke key the content remains but the username/name on account would be redacted...similar to how reddit has content w/ a deleted_user...
For decades, we did not have the means to fight back. Now we have the technology to fight this abuse: ad blockers, DVRs that automatically delete ads in recorded video, radio ad/chatter filters, sponsorship segment skippers, etc.
Idk, summer is typically something you enjoy.
> If you don't see 10x programmers after the startup phase, that's the fault of corporate mgmt. Tall poppy and all that.

Actually, it's because building a real product is 10x harder than building a prototype.
No, it presumes that the people taking these jobs have access to those things through other means. Like parental support, spousal support, scholarships, student loans, fellowships, government programs, side gigs, etc.
I have a LimeWire tshirt I got while interviewing there in early May 2010.

I know a couple people that worked there, they always had good things to say about it.
This is exactly how it played out in the popular perception of climate change.
In general I completely agree...but I don't have a problem with monitoring software (as opposed to open source crypto) like Finfisher being blocked from sale to repressive regimes.
I feel like "System" is a bit of an extreme term. "Sensible" also means natural. Like, either they go on the kitchen counter, the dining table, or my desk, or occasionally the arms of the couch usually because those are the places that have space to put things like phone/keys/etc when I empty my pockets.

The only considerations are: Is the place convenient (read nearby when I'm likely to be putting things down)? Are they a flat and stable surface?

That's it. I feel like if people don't make those sorts of considerations surely they are just dropping shit on the floor
Ask yourself a broader question: Why would FB choose to rank any content higher?

This is probably due to FB maximizing engagement with the platform. Posts with emojis, I speculate, are more emotionally charged and keep people using FB longer.

>reveals a view that seems disengaged from any developments philosophy after the early 20th century other than Bostrom's.

I'd say the "western tradition" is more about what 99% of westerners would think and have traditionally though, including the majority of scientists and mathematicians (which would be closer to the "universality of mathematical truth") than about what some philosophers of epistemology postulated in the 20th century...
I wish I had a CS teacher like this when I was a kid.
Even with Adblock installed, there are interruptions. Try listen to the slow movement of a piece of classical music, for example: the mood is certainly ruined with commercials placed randomly in the stream. And if Adblock is active, there still could be a short break in the stream: more than enough to ruin the mood.
You can retire on your investments in your 30s or 40s on a higher end professional salary if you’re not an idiot with money. My old boss retired at 31. Not a CEO or a venture capitalist, just another schmuck who came in to the office to write code every day and got paid a lot of money to do it.

I was not interested in the Cybertruck, and I find it relatively ugly and many of the features don't apply to me. However, a solar-charging option is BIG news to me. I'm surprised this was not mentioned on-stage.
I agree with everything except I would change the order a little. Mentally decide to leave. Consider what to do next. Get that next job, perhaps a very different job. Give your two week notice.
I'm sorry but "why does something being illegal prevent you from doing it?" is a ridiculous question.

Even if you start with the premise nobody is going to jail (which is blatantly untrue - I personally know people with possession charges), getting caught with small amounts of drugs can ruin the careers of some people, including my own career. Think people who must hold a professional licence, people who are subject to background checks (including coders who work at medium to large companies), people who work with children, people who work in certain safety critical industries, people who hold security clearances, etc. There was an FBI agent who was fired recently for testing positive for thc from using CBD oil, the federal government's position is there's no legitimate reason to test positive for thc.

$TSLA shot up 3% right after this tweet. It might be a good strategy to programmatically react to Elon tweets mentioning Tesla and buy $TSLA before anyone else can react.

By linking Aphyr's Redis article "call me maybe, Redis" as an example of possible troubles with new technologies, the author of this article shows that he actually does not understand very well the failure modes of MySQL itself, which are identical to the ones of Redis failover (and of every other master-slave system with asynchronous replication, more or less). This in theory contradicts the whole article, but actually I think the idea happens to be reasonable, but formulated not very well. The point is not what is new and what is old, is to switch to new technologies without a good reason which is a useless risk. If you analyze the failure modes, and the strenghts, of what you used in the past, and there is something new that performs much better, IF you are a good programmer, you can analyze, and test for a few days, read the doc, check some code, of something new, and understand if it is a better fit. This is why it's always the set of the best programmers that adopt new technologies that later turn into the next "obvious" stack, they are brave, not because they are crazy, because they can analyze something regardless of the fact is new or old.
Considering that police and normal people do this every single day, I'd say pretty well.

How different teams use money is not comparable. Meerkat is a small team, 14mm is a huge amount for them. Twitter is a huge company. It is unclear how these things would be used to benchmark one or the other.
>>> But then the "appropriate limits" are part of your theory.

That's certainly true. I'm not active in that field, but a couple of examples of appropriate limits are where classical mechanics is an appropriate limit of both quantum mechanics and special relativity. It only says that if your theory profoundly disagrees with existing observation, try again. At an even simpler level, the approximately parabolic arc of a stone thrown in the air is an appropriate limit of Newton's mechanics.

But the hope is to create a theory where some other limit can also be found -- such a limit might be an unexpected new particle, astronomical observation, etc.
> Are you really saying that your developer meetings are as high-stakes as job interviews?

Most certainly aren't, but some are potentially higher stakes (especially with smaller companies), since you and coworkers losing jobs you have -- which can be the price of getting things wrong -- is a bigger stake than you not getting a job that you currently don't have.
The traditional recruiting/hiring pipeline in the software industry is clearly non-ideal. The current tradition favors superstitious meta indicators & ritual over realism, it often features under-qualified or too-young interviewers asking/doing stupid/irrelevant things, it favors unpaid unilaterally-imposed work and bureaucratic hoop-jumping (and mindless paperwork and not-work-related personal snooping), over professionally compensated mutual reciprocity, and, to make it even worse, it's biased to reaching false rejections (because they are so afraid of regrettable hires).

Let's do the opposite of all these things!

I've recently started writing down an attempt at providing a better replacement I hope to begin following and enforcing 100% without exception going forward. My own system has similarities to what the OA advocated. I call mine RYR, which stands for "Realistic, Yes-Finding and Reciprocal."
I signed up and followed a few people and then... what now? The few things that are suggested to me when I log in aren't interesting, so I just shut the app. I've opened it a few times and had the same experience, so unless someone tells me about something specific I need to sign on to Clubhouse for, I don't see the need to keep opening it.
>“A deficit of domestic tech workers to fill available American tech jobs is worsened by the lack of access to foreign talent,” said Peter Leroe-Muñoz, general counsel and senior vice president of tech policy for the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, an industry lobbying group. He said about 59% of the area’s workforce is foreign-born, including those holding H1B visas.

>Many jobs in such fields as information technology would have been filled by foreign workers holding H1B visas in the past year, Mr. Nowrasteh said, but instead they remained open or were moved overseas.

Interesting to think about how the US is somehow unable to home-grow talent in important fields like this... these tend to be well paying jobs but Americans, for some reason, can't fill them.
We definitely need more innovation like this. Pressurized CO2 canisters may not be the most efficient (from a density standpoint) way to capture carbon, since you are capturing oxygen too and it's being stored as a gas, but hey, it's a start. We can iterate from there.
Pine64 really seems to have values and communications that I would associate with a European company. How are they so different than their Chinese colleagues?
Cancel culture is not really a thing, as much as comedians like to talk about it (on huge platforms like netflix).

People are speaking with the only thing companies give a damn about- money. They want people to be held accountable for things, and are actually willing to put money where their mouth is. If you disagree with that, then you disagree with free market capitalism.

It's not even really political, as people on both sides get "canceled"- I mean, occasionally get held accountable for their actions. There are dumb instances (like Al Franken, Aziz Ansari, Jeffrey Tambor) and others where people jump the gun, but overall I can't say it's really a bad thing. People need to be held accountable for their actions, end of story.

As the saying goes: if you see shit everywhere you go, check your shoe.
I've been coming to the opinion that I'll just never be happy with nominal static typing for data science or engineering. I'm curious about structural typing, but, of the languages I've tried so far, only dynamic typing has kept me happy for the long run.

I say that as someone who, prior to getting into the data space, was a fanatical partisan of static typing.

For actually implementing the core bits of analytics and ML tooling, I have a hard time seeing past languages that can match the performance of Fortran/C/etc and are able to expose a C ABI. Because those languages let you write one central, highly-optimized implementation that everyone can access from their favorite higher-level language.
Unless you're literally looking for someone who can be productive within the first 2 or 3 days of hiring (which means your product/stack is fairly generic and you're hiring some specialist), I don't think this is a great kind of hiring methodology. I recognize you say "we don't have months to get them up to speed", but I think your whole post would be more true if you said "one month" or "2 weeks" rather than "months to get them up to speed".

Personal anecdote/case study:

I interned on the frontend team at Mixpanel in 2011. I had written about 200 lines of Javascript prior to starting work, not a ton of HTML, and literally no CSS. I had however done quite a bit with Python/Django (which they used). My first month consisted of me "getting up to speed" where I was working at a lower rate than others on the team. By the end of summer, I was a fairly productive member of the (3 person) team, building products with tools I had previously had very little experience in.

Fast forward 2+ years:

I've now done 2 years of college. I spent one summer writing distributed machine learning tools for fraud detection, and another summer during deep learning research. The majority of my computer science classes are just theory (no programming), but I've done a bit of programming in C/Python/Rust (for a choose your own language thing) for school and also a bit of programming in Python on the side. Now I apply for your frontend job.

>I'm going to ask them to explain how a closure works

Closes over internal state, talk about read-only (Python)/ read/write (JS) closures and how read/write closures allow you to make basic objects out of functions.

>How they deal with AJAX

Use a callback? Not sure what this question is really asking. Potentially do some kind of client side queuing for some special cases. How to implement server-side push is more interesting.

> What they think about "!important".

Overrides all other CSS rules iirc. Not a best practice thing to use, but still a useful hack to keep in the toolbox.

> Things to be careful about with floats.

I don't remember specifics, but I remember floats can be a bitch. Just Google any problems I'm having. I believe the type of container that floats are in matters.

> How CSS precedence/specificity works.

Could probably work out an example. In general, element inherits all rules that apply to it, and more specific rules overwrite less specific rules. I don't remember the non-trivial ordering for more specific -> less specific (ie id is more specific than class), but would be very easy to look up.

> How to architect a webapp

Would be more comfortable talking about the server-side component, but could talk about client-side code design.

Summary: I'd probably do alright but not exceptionally on your interview. You might give someone else the job. They would probably be more productive on day 1, but I don't know about by the end of week 1.

The twist: If I was interviewing for a frontend job, I'd take a few days to study all of this stuff and significantly increase my interview performance. Would that make me any better at actually doing the job? Probably marginally.
> Gold's relative inertness means you can create an elaborate golden jaguar and be confident that 1,000 years later it can be found in a museum display case in central London, still in pristine condition.

This ignores another, more importent manifestation of those physical properties: you can steal something gold and melt it down with negligible loss, rendering it untraceable. For example a lot of the first gold from the americas (mentioned in the article) was simply stripped from temples. Of course this works at the small scale as well.

You ask: "How can it make sense in a sane world for a web browser to take up more space than entire operating systems?"

The last 30 years of the web has slowly evolved the web browser into its own operating system. Google Chrome is now a pretty hefty code base that depends on distributed builds [1] for compilation to complete in a timely manner.

The fact that Microsoft threw in the towel [2] and decided to build on top of Chrome is testament to the enormous man-years that has been put into Chrome.

The intel compiler is considered to generate runtimes that runs about twice as fast as runtimes from gfortran. Haven't seen any recent tests of CLANG/LLVM yet. The statement that compilers, not languages, are optimized generally holds true for Fortran.

The problem with Google Checkout compared to PayPal is that only people with a Checkout account can buy from places that require Checkout. It's not the job of a vendor to get their customers to sign up with Checkout. It's hard enough to get the to agree to buy something. That extra hurdle is just too much.
Very nice!

One little thing: On the right sidebar, before your first upload, it says:

Free account
Shares live longer
Live statistics
create account

I'm pretty sure that is supposed to mean that shares live longer and you get live statistics if you have an account, but I think it reads the other way around: Free account means that your shares lives longer.

The 50,000 IU dose is a single dose, not a daily dose to be taken over some period of time. The half-life of vitamin D in the body is a few months, so a large single dose is effective for some time.

A day in the sun is good for about 10,000 IU. (Source: http://www.ajcn.org/content/69/5/842.full )
We actually have that already :)

At one we had it announced on the page, but then people complained that they couldn't do it in their browser - because they used one that didn't support it. We'll probably put it back in somehow. We'll think about it.
Not only the cost. They don't ship to some countries (e.g. Russia), though they do not object if I order it to an address in a supported country and have it delivered from there myself. I doubt they will get a lot of clients this way, though.

I assume there are some legal barriers in place. I would like to know what are they, but haven't had the time to investigate myself.
