Bosses generally think all employees are replaceable. F..king false in software industry!

If main developers go away you are busted, dear boss. I busted mine some months ago. And now I am boss of myself and very happy of it :)
On the electronics side we (https://circuithub.com/) have spent a lot of time on automation to bring US manufacturing costs inline with China.

I definitely agree with the premise of the OP, local manufacturing has a lot of benefits.
These techniques are the future of reverse engineering and product customization.
America, Britain, France, Italy, etc. education systems built upon "getting results" seem to end up ruining the subject they're trying to teach.
"because one of the questions I asked was the very simple but classic fizzbuzz test".

I would just assume you get false positives doing that... I would almost consider it malpractice of the bootcamp not to cover that test the day before considering that it it so widely proliferated. I sometimes use it, I'll admit, but always with some kind of twist like "do it as a web server".
Did you read the article I mentioned? I believe that context is important.

Please keep going :)

Using Smalltalk (particularly Pharo) has been an eye-opening experience for me.

Its interesting to see that Amber has a Boolean class which I suppose corresponds to the JS boolean primitive.
In other Smalltalks, I've seen a wonderful design where True and False are subclasses of Boolean. This way, there are no conditionals in the implementation of ifTrue: and ifFalse:
Criticizing such details are not the same as criticizing the system itself. Preferring one implementation of capitalism over another isn't a criticism of capitalism. Similarly, espousing one political party over another isn't criticism of democracy.

If you suggest eliminating private property to mitigate certain ills engendered by capitalism, or express another view that is truly antithetical to capitalism then you will find yourself marginalized to the point you cannot influence the system.
>It costs a lot of money and people-hours to interview someone.

True. Doesn't mean they're managing it properly.

>no company is going to waste the time and money to go through 3 interviews with a person

Again, assuming the company is carefully keeping track of this.

Sounds like an "ideal world" fantasy to me. Yes, the situation you describe is how things would ideally be. But they're clearly not. This happens, a lot more than many feel comfortable admitting.
> they won't unquestioningly do what some untrusted adult tells them to

How is this any different than the job market they're being groomed for?
Article presents a bunch of problems on UI but no solutions... perplexing.
I dislike that you call people dumb or facist because they made a different judgement than you did, in regards of the "Is Trump worse than campus authoritarianism". Other people are able to feel differently about things.
> Must be an American thing, or an american movie thing?

Very much, and the American kids made it seem more real. Otherwise we'd have just ignored it. But a bunch of them decided they had to have popularity cliques with in-and-out people, just like in the movies.

Luckily our sports teams were so terrible it didn't create a second substrate for this.
For those who like workbook-style exercises and using pencils and staff paper, I highly recommend "Practical Theory" by Sandy Feldstein:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0882842250

I've been teaching myself classical piano from scratch (with a very good human teacher and weekly lessons) throughout the pandemic and this book has been a huge help for supplemental information and just getting me in the habit of marking up staff paper.
You literally didn't read some combination of my sources, my comment, or the article you linked, and they prove you false.

The article you linked says that the ballots were processed "legally". I explicitly said that they were probably processed legally, but intentionally deceitfully.

The article says that a claim that was debunked was that the ballots were kept in "suitcases". I never claimed that they were - nor does my argument rest on that claim.

The article says that an Richard Barron claims that "No announcement was ever made to leave, for anyone to leave", which was not a sworn statement, and is directly contradicted by the sources I already linked: two sworn statements, and (at least) two articles by independent news stations, including 11Alive, which is one of the stations mentioned in the article you linked, and ABC News[1] - meaning that the Fulton County elections director straight-up lied - at which point, why should we trust anything else coming from the Fulton County elections team?

It's a cognitive aid, probably linked to drills and training.

If an enemy has the same sticker it would slow reaction time and cause confusion, but not prevent coming to the correct decision.
Hey leopict, strange question... I saw your comment about the PG::Internal Error in the 'Is Apple Silicon Ready' thread but wasn't able to reply there. I've been experiencing the same thing for two weeks and have tried everything. Did you have any luck resolving the issue?
Because hundreds of additional police officers and members of the national guard arrived in order to secure the building?
What replaced them?
> But last I checked, LLVM supported neither 32-bit PowerPC nor big-endian PowerPC.

How long ago did you check? I've been working on this for 3-4 years, and we've had coverage of kernel builds for 32b BE ppc for at least 2 years.

I just checked our coverage, looks like we test ppc64, ppc64le, and ppc (32b BE). So no coverage of 32b LE atm, but I think llvm recently gained support for the relevant triple.

Try it and let us know if it boots!
I was a reverse engineer for years and never was able to do anything like quoting docs. I'd be constantly googling or using reference material. The only real attribute I'd suggest is tenacity.
this is a wonderful idea. we launched a repo here to do exactly this; we'll update the repo over time as we collect commands.

https://github.com/HotpotDesign/FFMpeg-Online

could we list and credit your commands?
This probably one of the funniest statements in current political culture I’ve seen in a while.
The automation for this is actually trickier than it would first appear: especially with the earlier snapshots, a number of patches are needed to compile the LLVM interfaces written in C++. Also, due to linking issues, some snapshots require a stage2 compiler, while others can only use a stage1 compiler. I agree that it would be trivial once you have the chain in place, but that chain can only be built through trial and error.
I would say the crusade to blame for the decline of Muslims golden age. When the crusade started around 12 century, it brought devision among Muslims and Christians in places such as Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine. For centuries, Muslims, Christians and Jews lived next to each other and collaborated with each other but the crusade killed that friendship.
Handedness is not what people care about in discussing personality assessment.

Check out the big five model:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits

Neuroticism, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion.

On each dimension, many people are average and a few are on each extreme. At least that's the world I've observed. It's not a world full of extreme introverts and extreme extroverts. Most people are in the middle of that scale.
>Drinking liquor or ciders does not do the same thing, it seems exclusive to beer.

What kind of beer are you drinking? I find many of the craft ales give way worse hangovers than regular lagers.
I’m pretty comfortable with MRRx12 for annual run rate, which is pretty normal from what I’ve seen. But I do have other unmentioned revenue forecasting metrics based on current/past growth/churn rate, which I pay more attention to than my ARR. I don’t base a lot on this number either way.
This article[1] from Fox News pretty thoroughly explains the ballots under the table in GA. It took me literally 2 minutes to find it. Did you look for such explanations yourself before asking?

You seem reasonable, and I promise I am not attacking you. I am just at a loss. I have to imagine you see that article or ones like it, but you are not satisfied by the explanation. So then what can I do to satisfy you that the claims of fraud have been addressed? What standard of proof do you need, and what guarantee do I have that you won’t shift the goalpost once I meet it?

I’m not saying you, personally, will shift the goalpost, but my discussions with those who are already convinced their is fraud is that no amount of evidence is sufficient. There will always be another “but what about.” That’s why this 11th hour demand for an audit by Sen. Cruz, Loeffler, et al is exhausting. Of course I don’t want election fraud, even if finding it means Biden loses. But after two months of courts looking into it, AG Barr refuting it, state legislatures refuting it, and more, I’d say it’s been pretty well looked at. At this point, is an audit really the difference between you feeling satisfied and not?

You mean the same room? We've built our solution using webrtc. For the infrastructure bit, I'll have our CTO write back to this comment as well.
Id say try em out as you see them fit. Postgresql for relational, redis for cache or some streams, elasticsearch for search, clickhouse for analytics.. each of them is intended for different use cases.

The managed instances by cloud vendors (microsoft azure, google cloud platform, amazon web services, digitalocean) should also help you getting up and running without worrying about the infra side of things on small scale projects

"we ran into the issue of distributing the CLI tool to our team of engineers without the need of distributing a new set of tokens or making the binary public"

Seems a neat enough hack to make their newer shit available internally using existing tools/security.
That’s indirect, as is a dog whistle. The point is the president directly called for the occupation of the Capitol.
Funny, I remember London black cabs as mainly being a reliable service with reliable drivers. I'd rather have a driver with their route knowledge in their head than one blindly relying on GPS. At least they can make intelligent choices when problems crop up.

Not that it was completely without problems, but compared to say NYC cabs they were worlds apart. Sure, there was a problem for a while with rogue unregistered cabs, though IIRC that was mainly minicabs and relied on intercepting despatch radio messages, but there were some black cabs. The cliche of not going south of the river held up to some scrutiny too. Uber of course go with phone you then just don't show if they don't like the route and waste half and hour of yours. At least it was a two way conversation with a cabbie.

That London hasn't put a blanket ban on diesel cabs in the low emission zone isn't really the cab's fault - that's firmly on the authorities...
Brazos is 2011-era, right? amdgpu has become a thing since then - AMD now officially supports their GPUs on Linux, including those in most APUs.
That picture looks like the Saarschleife in Germany.
In a way they are a violation of Google’s policies right? They serve different content to google bot and human.

May be adblockers should pretend to be the googlebot so they don’t get discriminated.

Oh that would create a whirlpool of cascading effects.
This is a decent OCR / structured data extraction literature review but is absolutely not "building an ID card reader from scratch with deep learning".

It's also very hand-wavey on the details of how to actually use graph convolutional networks to extract structured ID card data. For example what "bounding box information" is used in your node representations? What is the architecture of your biLSTM?

This seems very much more like a promotion for your API than useful information on how to build a system that extracts data from ID cards.
It's very laggy for me, really took away from trying to understand what the product was. I think in trying to make something beautiful and minimalistic, you ended making something that does look beautiful but is cluttered, slow, and doesn't really have a clear focus. Just my 2 cents.

I think it would have fared much better if I had waited until I got my ISA Ethernet card in the mail. But serving this over serial at 38400 baud and watching it try to keep up was tempting. I’ll have to see how well it fares with real networking hardware. At that point I might post it again, although I will have to add enough content to it to justify a repost.
There is a growing trend where people just memorize how to do things instead of understanding what those things actually do.
What isn't compatible with HTMX...?
Tentative thought experiment / question: similarly to how some people absolutely fly through curricular study and then crumble once they enter the non-perfectly-spherical non-vacuum-based real world, maybe you simply never had any significant/blocking issues with learning and integrating programming into practical settings (perhaps due to chance opportunity, IQ or other factors) until recently? Maybe it was a breeze until now, and everything's caught up after burnout...?
The algorithmically generated feed was introduced in 2011.
Funny to see this here. More than twenty years ago, I did my Master thesis in Architecture using VRML to display a building I had designed and the surrounding district.

I especially loved the Level-Of-Detail object that allows to design different objects depending on the distance of the object with the view point.

I still have the files somewhere, but last time I checked, I found no software to read them.
Not only are there radar detector detectors, but then there are radar detector detector detectors, and radar detector detector detector detectors. A hilarious arms race.
Its works the same across the world as everywhere there is fractional reserve banking. The other "Shariah Banking" is also just repackaged fractional reserve banking.
> inevitably

It's been inevitable for 10+ years now.

Maybe this word doesn't mean what you think it means.
You are imagining this situation from the perspective of already having a more powerful / general model and looking backwards, so it seems obvious. But that is not how things work. Without data to support it, you can imagine all kinds of possible theories - that is not science, and it certainly gets you no closer to understanding.
I could go pretty deep here, so let me know if I should elaborate on anything.

The backend is a Ruby on Rails application that serves the frontend app's API. This interfaces with the user tables, database, and handles all the "state" of the app.

The serverless stuff has changed over the months, but primarily it handles the stuff I don't want Rails to handle: file uploads, video processing and transcription.

First, huge props to the Mux (https://mux.com) team and product. I can not express how easy it has been to build video (and audio) products. File uploads are handled to AWS/GCP (depending on a few things) and then trigger a serverless callback to Mux.com. Mux was the fastest way we found to turn an arbitrary video file (mp4/mov/etc) into HLS format for quick streaming.

Then once the video is uploaded, we have another serverless callback that sends the video for transcription using Assembly AI (https://assemblyai.com). There are a ton of transcription based services and they vary dramatically in quality, based on the media content. I believe Google/Amazon services were largely built around the need to process phone calls, so unless you may for their "enhanced" models, the quality is surprisingly bad (and surprisingly slow).

I *highly highly* recommend Mux and Assembly AI if you are doing anything video/transcription based work.

To get an immediate update to the end user, we actually process two transcript requests - one that is just the first 60 seconds, and then the remainder of the video. This lets us render a preview transcript in the first 15-20 seconds.

We also have a serverless pipeline for generating the videos, but I won't go into that unless you're interested. In short, a serverless function kicks off a Docker instance running on ECS.

The requests to the serverless apps (mostly Node) have a callback to the Rails app, which then updates the end user state using websockets (which are very easy to use in Rail's ActionCable).
Well it has had a resurgence too. When I open Twitch randomly it seems like 80% of the streams are GTA V for some reason. It wasn't like that a few months ago.
Sort of - that’s from the contractor, and while largely consistent, it’s good to see both.
Oh no. Moleskins are pretty bad for fountain pens. I use rollerball jel pens mostly.
This has been my personal experience as well. Stay at the company and get a 6-10% raise or jump ship and get a 50% raise.
That's a little pedantic, there's enough text there to see that "next day" and "same day" are there typical promises. While it may be often instantaneous, that's not promised.
It's funny, I was just thinking that I'd be happy if I never saw any variation on "as untechnical as my Mom" ever again. To me it perpetuates the idea that by default, you can assume that women/mothers are nontechnical. I don't think that most people who use it have that intention of saying that, just that that's part of the effect, and to me that's unfortunate.
I urge you to consider the implications of working for Google, as this choice is at the very least problematic.

Not everything has to be political, maybe she's just happy she's going be learning a lot from a tech company that has brought a lot of good stuff into the world both technical and otherwise.
Apparently outrage died around that time, so it must not be like this now:

One thing that AWS Premium Support does very well is make situations like this seem unremarkable. This is the default way you do work. Going above and beyond is solving the issue, the next issue the customer hasn't asked you about, and giving practical guidance on things like cost optimization or availability concerns after weeks of deep diving.

I'm not saying you didn't do great work, but I think the secret to success at AWS Support is normalizing this level of customer obsession.
You can have this today by inserting an explicit decorator that validates annotated arguments. You can even skip the decorators by dynamically wrapping callables with the validator.

I've seen "just WIN+L" on Twitter a lot...

Relying on humans locking their PC in event of a terrorist attack isn't a IT-Security concept.

Security consists of a threat model and many layers of security measures. Many many outer layers have failed here. I wouldn't blame an individual nor a department here. It's one of those events that probably wasn't in the scope. Additionally, roles/security clearance levels etc. still work regardless of the account beeing open to anyone.

Things like Smartcards, Yubikeys, auto-lockscreen could have failed the same way. Maybe a GPO failed, or a windows update broke the auto-lock.... that's why all these many layers exist.
I dunno. The UK got whipped into an online frenzy prior to the Brexit vote. Notably, there was possible Russian interference during that campaign on Twitter, similar to the US [1]. And Bolsonaro got elected in Brazil, largely due to manipulation on WhatsApp. Roughly 47% of the country uses WhatsApp, and of the top fifty images circulating at the time of the election, only four were real [2].

Social media has proven itself to have massive impact on the zeitgeist, and it has been weaponized the world over to serve the interests of those willing to manipulate others in order to further their own (often misanthropic) goals.

They could have guarded the building, though, even if they don't want the agents to engage outside of the building. Guarding the entrance should be feasible. If it isn't, Congress should not have meetings there.
It goes hand-in-glove with the conflicting ideas that "the other side is so stupid and incompetent" while at the same time "the other side is so sly and crafty with their diabolical plans." I'm pretty sure some folks in 1930s Germany used similar tactics.
I've never connected FP with math than any other paradigm. FP is easier to grok than OO, it's just that OO was the popular paradigm when most working programmers today started out.

Yes it's not "right", fugly is relative to context, trends can make something fugly pretty. It's on the extreme-limit side of the spectrum. It's probably gonna have enough buyers to have its place IMO.

> And use a second car/taxi for your drug dealing

If you are a drug dealer and find a police tracker on your car, it's time to stop being a drug dealer.
You can also take the antagonistic approach. Use a VPN service from the North-Korean government. They will surely spy on you and try to attack your network. But they also won't share data with any form of law enforcement that could reach you.

Probably a really bad idea, but the principle is clear. If you want to minimize legislative reach, take a service from the other side of the planet. Maybe not Australia.
Let me guess (they didn't define it on linked page) - 2FA with a physical token only works in Googlenet Chrome?
The RPi4 is capable of gigabit. I benchmarked mine at 900-950mbit via iperf yesterday. That was to a usb3 gigabit ethernet adapter on a laptop.

Stare upon the FRBTheory wiki in delight then, here are ~50 different theories describing the same thing: https://frbtheorycat.org/index.php/Main_Page

As a generous guess at most 40 of these models are wrong, since they all describe basically the same few events with vastly different mechanisms. I guess that majority of interesting but wrong models is what you are after?
I haven't met anyone who thinks US has any decent work/balance. The reality is that US is a great place to make money and lots of it. Then you spend it on the beaches of Brazil or Thailand.
