Literally tens of thousands of them. Sensors are not interchangeable, if you have requirements on precision/accuracy for your project then it dictates what you have to use. And often enough the on board in a phone sensors aren't reliable (e.g. temperature sensor on a phone is useless for measuring ambient temperature) or not precise enough. Or other things like driving a stepper motor using an SPI-based driver, controlling a character display or interfacing with an external DAC/ADC.

It's important to note that I'm talking good old electronics projects, not things like single-use kiosk devices. Like I said earlier, the RasPi is similar to the Arduino in that it's suited to "edge" tasks - interfacing a computer / network with the physical world through sensors and actuators.

Some of this stuff is possible on an Android device, but more complex because they aren't designed for it. Meanwhile this is what the Raspberry Pi was always intended for and is much simpler. There are cases where an old phone might work better, but there are many where it won't work at all or would be a lot of extra work.

Creditcard fraud is ripe and easy when it came to stripe a few years ago, I havn't carded anything for awhile. But glad to see stripe working on fraud prevention. We use to use tor and not even need to hop exit nodes and we could drain 100+ ccs into twitch streamers alerts for a gag and without stripe then we'd be stuck with paypal, screw carding paypal stripe all the way. Might be useful if stripe tried to card their services themselves to learn to prevent it, but they didnt even appear to try. Atleast block tor for credit card transactions come on, no one is going to use tor to pay for something under their own credit card. Kinda defeats the purpose of tor.

This is something that I've wondered about. There is nothing about Tensorflow (for example) that is specific to CUDA. Why doesn't AMD dedicate a couple of engineers to port it? They don't even have to do a complete job. Only about half of the Tensorflow operations are used for most models.
So it seems for now that everything is consistent with the benchmarks published a month ago in a paper magazine in France: https://www.cpchardware.com/cpc-hardware-36-debarque-en-kios... (french)

What did they do differently ? They didn't ask AMD for permission or sign an NDA for exclusive "early" access, and just sourced the parts on ebay from one of the numerous samples that were given to ODMs/OEMs.

Prefer homework to coderpad nonsense.

When a recent position asked for a 10-12 hour homework, said I cap them at 2-4 hours and quoted my daily rate. ;-)
I wish that’d be a possibility.. there’s no good other way to really evaluate what happens with GCs.
If you're going to expect people to do real work, you need to pay them.

This is common in a field like journalism. Want to do a one or two day trial of a reporter? Pay them to write for you! Have them work in a real environment and do real work for publication.

If you're not willing to pay people for their time, and it's not an executive position, asking for days of a person's time is asinine. Also, if the homework isn't really real world, I still don't think it's of value. Making interview processes longer doesn't make them more rigorous. Only rigor makes a process more rigorous.

What I tend to do is have people do contract work for me, and if they do good work and people like working with them, I'll offer them a full-time position. Another way that companies get at this is with internships. They are a low-cost way to scout talent.

I find that a lot of companies are mistaking theater for rigor. If you ask someone to do a coding assignment, and it's not the kind of work that your company would actually do, how much value do you get out of it? Can someone work with your APIs? Are they comfortable with your languages and systems?

I have also found that longer interview processes that have more people involved introduce noise, not rigor. This is why I generally try to be involved in the entire interview process for people I am hiring.

Want to work on my team? I'll screen the resumes, I'll do the phone interviews and then I'll bring you in in person. I'll be in on all of the interviews you have with various people. It's my job to hire great people to work for me -- not recruiters, HR or random people at the company. I involve HR at the end to get a sense for a person's personality, not at the beginning.

As a manager, hiring is arguably my most important skill. A manager that can't hire is going to have trouble building a good team that works well together. So, getting the hiring process right is critical.
HaHaha! (cit.)
How would you structure that? PoP-operating companies for each country/region, owning the infrastructure, and CDN companies that rent capacity from the infrastructure-companies and combine it into international packages? And of course you can't have a shared entity owning them or anything else that a court could convincingly find to be really one entity, which makes it kind of impractical to get that started.

Actually independently formed companies would of course help, but they'll have a strong motivation to grow themselves instead of working together with competitors.
The big features that MySQL has been lacking, MariaDB has had since at least 10.2 (Apr 2016) or earlier. Specifically I'm talking about Windowing functions, CTEs, JSON support, GIS support, Metadata in transactions (DDL statements).

At this point MySQL is playing catch-up to MariaDB.
Interestingly, the site is based on Mastadon mean that it is, or at least has the potential to be, federated. If one server hosting the data is blocked or goes down, another federated server will still hold the data. So, in a way, they're avoiding a need for something like Cloudflare.
If only that was actually reliable to find out who can code well...
I wouldn't blame the tools here. When law enforcement needs something done, they'll get it done, justice be damned. Before Palantir, law enforcement would have just spot checked every single car passing through an area, under the guise of a Ride Program.

It's like billboards vs. targeted ads. Both have the same effect (pushing you to buy stuff), but the latter cuts out all the noise.

In most cases, legal trickery like this doesn't actually fly with the courts. The US doesn't care if the datacenter the data they want is in is technically owned by "Microsoft Ireland". Because Microsoft Ireland is controlled by Microsoft, so they can sue the latter to compel action from the former.

This is one of the many downsides of multinational corporations, and I suspect we're going to see a new market for more localized replacements for a lot of these corporations' services abroad.

I've never seen a take home coding challenge that had even the possibility of being used as production code. For me it's always been a standardized, self-contained example problem. Maybe there're scummy companies that try to push job applicants' work to production, but I'd be shocked if that was anywhere close to the modal case.

So it's more like "What I need from you, Joe Electrician, is for you to go wire up this demo kitchen frame that I've set up. Once you're done I will inspect your work and let you know if I'm interested in hiring you to wire up the actual houses I'm building.".
I thought it was asking "are you trying to determine 'When it was exactly?' and 'Are you trying to remember how satisfying it was?'" which made sense.

Side question, but why the jump from 5.7 to 8.0?

What happened to 6.0 and 7.0?

Edit: found a kind of answer, though I never heard of 6 and 7 being "used" before. [1]

> Why did MySQL version numbering skip versions 6 and 7 and go straight to 8.0?

> Due to the many new and important features we were introducing in this MySQL version, we decided to start a fresh new series. As the series numbers 6 and 7 had actually been used before by MySQL, we went to 8.0.

I'm not 100% sure about every other reviewer, but many times tests will be done with a base windows 10 install (as to avoid the need to look at comparisons between patches).

Regarding performance impact, short answer is - yes. Basically, it removes most of the advantage of the cache for Intel.
Yes, I recently got a remote job in Europe through https://www.remotepython.com/ . We're currently running a campaign on StackOverflow, too.
There's no way I'd spend 10 hours on a take home for these reasons alone. I'd spend maybe 2 and call it good. If they expect a "pixel perfect" solution, then I'd better be able to do that in 2 hours max. Otherwise, they get what I submit and it will give us plenty to talk about during the interview.
I agree strongly with your pain points.

Because it's easily comparable to the more common 16:9 ratio
Aspect ratios are one thing but a number of tasks are just better in portrait. For that purpose I have a desktop monitor stand that rotates 90 degrees.

Trickier on a laptop but can't someone design a 'convertible' with a rotate-able kickstand, so that a detachable typecover snaps into place regardless of whether the screen is in landscape or portrait?
I disagree, he wasn't a Napolean, but he was a very good general, and after all Napolean didnt fare well in the end.

A 4.8 inch Galaxy S for example is 720x1280 or 1280x720. iPhone 6 1334 x 750 or 750 x 1334.

How Deep Learning works, maybe
I'm aware, but it's not a very clean solution. Now you need a USB-OTG cable with charging and a USB ethernet adapter.

Also in my experience (which was admittedly limited since it didn't work well) it was very crashy, with the connection going down after a few hours. Probably a quirk of my specific tablet or ethernet adapter but still it's a potential problem.
25% of the working age population is economically inactive (with more being below the income tax floor) most of whom do not receive benefits (they're living off savings or others) even before you actively incentivise people not to look for work. It's going to cost a lot more than £12k per taxpayer, and with median UK household income being only £27k the taper for the working poor is going to be steep, and the middle classes seeing a net tax increase is going to include an awful lot of people struggling to pay off their mortgages.

And the thing is, many people who are actively looking for work or disabled already receive more than the UBI in other benefits being cut to fund this. The true beneficiaries? Upper middle class people who've paid off their mortgage, built up savings and wish to retire a decade or two earlier and traditional housewives. The losers? The working young and single people.
I actually prefer take home. I’m not great at white board solutions as they’re basically asking you to solve something immediately with a gun to your head in real time. It’s very unnatural. Take home gives me time to think about something more like I would job.

That said there needs to be a balance where the tasks are enough of a test to give indication of quality of work without taking 3 full time days to finish.
Because 16:9 is a reference point that everyone is familiar with, and 16:10 is easier to understand in relation to that for most people than 8:5.

If so, then Palantir is missing a big revenue source: integration with public data that each client would otherwise have to collect on its own.
Just to clear what seems to be some confusion in what you wrote:

Clangd already exists (it was contributed and mainly maintained by Google, IIRC), and works great. It supports LSP, and works fine with vscode.

What apple is investing in is making it their default tooling.

So the benefits of this change are exclusive to apple xcode (ATM) :)

The benefits to using clangd in general are (among poher things) editor agnosticism and scaling.

If everyone uses libclang, libclang must scale to every codebase (or a least, the interface, and then you'd have to replace/relink it).

If everyone uses LSP, you just need something that speaks LSP, and scales to your codebase.

At the scale of Google's codebases, for example, the first is untenable, the second is doable.
I am building a small tool to try to automate all the nudging around pull requests. The dream is contact only the relevant people (as opposed to spam), in an asynchronous fashion to avoid interruption.
Example: Asking to fix tests, remind them to do a review, asking to fix conflict with master, asking to re-review, etc.

You can get USB-OTG cables that split off so you can plug in a charger, but I think (not sure) that it's not universally supported to use USB-OTG and charge at the same time.
Mastodon is federated in the sense that users can be on different servers and interact, and yes, the data from one server ends up incidentally being cached on others, but those users still only exist on the server they are on.

If switter.at is shutdown, switter.at users cannot login or post, and people most likely cannot see switter.at posts or follow switter.at accounts.

And there's still massive benefit to a Mastodon instance of being able to serve it's content over a CDN for bandwidth cost concerns.
People are going to start to think tech companies don't know how to count or something. Jokes aside... I'm wondering the same.

Not quite true. The colour gamut of most (in not all) displays is much smaller than the gamut we can see.
I have a old-school fashion company where employees meet with clients and they need to fill out a form with ~60 fields.
Afterwards those form results need to be transformed and inserted into multiple other templates.

I've automated this via Apps Script:
An employee just fills out the form, and everything else is done automatically.
(and even more: the script also sends an invoice to the client, creates a calendar event for the employee and adds the order to an internal spreadsheet)
> All I was saying is that people say "cities are spread out so transit won't work" when often the very _reason_ cities are spread out is that they lacked transit, so huge amounts of land were given over to auto infrastructure. It's worth considering that it's self-reinforcing and the causality isn't one-way.

IIRC, that's ahistorical and getting the causation backwards. American cities used to be denser with more public transit (e.g. trollies) before cars became common. The reason cities are spread out is cars enabled the residents to spread out, since that's what they wanted to do. That established a new pattern of development that makes density more difficult.
At least the header has something in it, the white margins are completely useless but eat a lot of real state.

Screens are visual, and human vision is biased to search lateral space over vertical space.

This is due to the nature of humans' visuospatial limitations. We're largely 2d animals in our movement: front/back & left/right, not so much up down. This is different from animals like birds and fish who constantly have to navigate all 3 dimensions to catch prey and avoid death.

We aren't ignorant of vertical space, but horizontal space is much more well attended to by the human brain, spatially and visually. (Video game designers encounter this problem in getting players to look up.)

Vertical screens for the masses started with mobile, because constraints of the hand matter more than the biases of vision in that case.

Of course as desktop screens become giant, lateral vs vertical space becomes a less important distinction, but understanding why "widescreen" came about over "square" is important. Of course, this all varies by task, but I imagine this is a big reason why 16:9 came about.

When I worked there (mid 2009 to early 2014), almost all customers had dedicated installations (as in a rack of servers) with just their data on-site. Even the hosted instances had siloed data. There are features for peering, but AFAIK that has to be explicitly set up between installations.
