This is why I object when people say diet is a personal choice and we shouldn't criticize people for what they choose to eat.

I don't think it's helpful to be judgemental or accusatory. But it's also true that if you eat meat you are also exacerbating problems that affect us all. Including climate change, antibiotic resistance, and new epidemics that arise from raising animals in conditions in which they were never intended to live.

I also think it's an example of how the conditions we oppose on animals eventually rebound on the conditions we impose on each other. Once you start to devalue life to such an extreme degree it starts to snowball.
Related: In Specialty Engineering, we had to irradiate the hell out of the CPUs and see what happened. This was done by running cables into the rad chambers and then running a program on the CPU to test all of the chips and other stuff on the motherboards as they were blasted. Most of the time, we just went up in dosage until the system failed, which wasn't long.

One thing that always stuck out to me though, were the counters in the room. We'd leave one in the test chamber as close to the parts as possible, to get more accurate readings. Those little counters always borked out. The 7-part digital counters would just flicker and dance about in the rads. These 'hardened' counters would always fail first, and a lot sooner, than the CPUs.

I was just doing the dosing, not the code in the CPU. But if those very simple counters were fried well before the more complicated CPUs, and they were not in the full thrust of the radiation, then I can't imagine what those guys were doing to mitigate their code in that rad-soup. It was very impressive.
The problem with third-parties in the US is that they all have platforms that include issues other than reform of voting methods in the US, such that the political duopoly is broken.

And no candidate from the duopoly will take it up as an issue, because it doesn't get them more votes, and may actually lose some out of police employee unions.

So you're not going to tackle this with voting. Hire a lobbyist yourself, or donate to a PAC or advocacy org that is dedicated to privacy issues.
I mean the systems are programmed by humans right, why wouldn’t they have some of our biases? Not to mention once they’re made it gives everyone the excuse to say “oh sorry for bugging you I wasn’t being racist but my store’s AI said you were going to steal”
Are the fundamentals really janky?

Prototypical inheritance is actually not a bad choice.

The event loop also stood the stand the test of time, it's a great choice for IO heavy environments like the web is.

The weak type system made it possible to bang out code really quickly without much thought thus making it very beginner friendly. Most of its issues can be traced back to this.

Ok, but FANG is a different matter: those are established, respectable companies. You shouldn't do the same for small, no-name startups that try to use those take-home assignments to extract free labor from you.
> Anything up to 48 hours I might do for free.

I wouldn't even suggest this. Anything over 1 hour is biting into my own valuable time. Your take-home challenge should not take longer than a coding challenge I'd do for another company (and those are around 30 minutes).

If they don't care to spend phone or on-site time interviewing me after this, then they were never worth applying to in the first place.
My anecdata is from this past weekend when I had a choice of ordering from two different pizza apps. I went with the one that offers Apple Pay because the checkout process is so frictionless.

When it comes to buying things online, for me I prefer Apple Pay > Stored credit card number (Amazon) > Punching in a credit card number > PayPal. For me, this is 90% about trust.

The flow state of great athletes is not the type of autopilot you describe exactly, it’s not a totally automatic function. If you look at their comments it’s actually a state of hyperfocus. They may get there in a similar way to what you describe but the space they go to looks different than what you’re describing. “The rim gets bigger” if you will. The game slows down and becomes easier. They’re so in the moment that everything narrows, yes, but it’s that that makes decisions easier, the information they need is simply hyper available. Ask someone like Tiger Woods where the pin was or what the wind was doing on the 12th hole on a specific course during a win 15 years ago and he can tell you that. He can also tell you where contact was on the club face. Same goes for LeBron and others. It’s not that decisions are made by your body or muscle memory etc it’s that the decisions you need to make become easier to make.
Not sure I agree with that. I assume Apple Pay button will only show for customers who have Apple Pay setup/available to use, and for those customers using Apple Pay (1 click secure payment vs manually entering in card info would seem a no brainer).
I would argue that the integration won't be that hard at all. Like you said, Argo is focused on self driving capabilities while Rivian is more about the vehicle production, so there's probably little to no overlap.

If it were only to take an hour then it's not a "comprehensive" exercise in the ability to solve problems as the OP desires.

It would then be an exercise with toy data that measures how smoothly the candidate conforms to the expectations of whatever framework they're using to solve hello-world-level problems.

"An hour" is a really short time!

There are 2 things that cause this. Not having a driver installed and having it fall back to something which doesn't support the correct resolution or in fact bad cables.

Most user installs will not encounter either problem. New amd has great support out of the box without installing anything and many distros support installing closed source nvidia or will work well enough for non gaming applications with the open source drivers.

Please note that challenges aren't a result of X they are specifically the result of specific manufacturers drivers. Some of which have been more challenging in the past. For improvements on such in the future look to the manufacturers and support the ones that provide the optimal experience.

Please note issues where users can't set the correct resolution for their hardware ALSO occurs on windows 10.

Helium is expensive and practically non-renewable on Earth. It forms slowly by beta decay, with most of it escaping into space (because it's molecular mass is so low, its velocity commonly exceeds Earth's escape velocity). A small amount gets trapped in deposits which we can extract.

This is good to hear though. JS is a great entry level scripting language and makes sense for applications like this where you just need to get a specific job done rather than worrying about everything else that comes with code being the actual product.

Because it is not a social science paper or a government policy (smoking causes cancer, so we should forbid advertising smoking to teenagers). You do not combat shoplifting by knowing the causes of shoplifting (being unethical causes shoplifting, now what?).

Nobody infringes on your rights, if a system pings you as suspicious and so a security guard is alerted and watches you more closely. There are no false positive consequences here: either they find that can of Red Bull on your person without a paid receipt, or they don't. You won't get banned from the store, because the system inadvertently deemed you suspicious.

A whitebox statistical model still can provide the factors that contributed to its prediction, without resorting to causal inference.

I do not think a certain race, gender, age, income causes shoplifting, but they sure are correlated, and effective at finding shoplifters or tax fraudsters. I deem the act of shoplifting more unethical than the act of watching you on a camera feed. This already happens anyway, these systems just manage attention better.
I started out in the "it's just a bunch of prudes!" group and have, years later, come around to "maybe the old fogies had a point about trash entertainment and being careful about what you expose yourself to".

Aside from the usual shock-memes that used to be common on even the less-seedy parts of the Internet, I'd un-watch certain mainstream media if I could. Number one, with a bullet, would be all of South Park. That show has a way of putting really stupid stuff in my head such that it intrudes on my consciousness daily, even though I haven't watched it in years. The laughs it delivered in return weren't even close to worth it.
For one my first interviews out of school (justin.tv) I had a take home which I liked, but it wasn't a substitution for the interview time - it was more of a pre-screen for the phone screen which then did the same solve a puzzle while I'm watching you thing.

The take home went well and took an hour or two, but it was a well contained problem and fun to write. I didn't do well on the docs share screen which is largely a separate skill you have to prepare for and I find more stressful.

Early on the 'I'm watching you solve a math puzzle' is brutal especially if you didn't go to MIT/Stanford where you're pretty well prepared for how to succeed in the technical interviews. My school (RPI) was more harmful than helpful - they had no idea how the process worked so you mostly learn through failure. This plus a dash of imposter syndrome makes succeeding in these out of school pretty tough. Once you've validated your skills by succeeding and working somewhere it's easier - I'd guess because you're more confident in your ability.

I wonder how much engineer mobility is limited by the stress of these interviews. If you don't find them stressful you have a pretty easy way to massively increase your income in a couple years. There's a lot of value in just getting good at passing technical screens. I don't have a better solution to this, but it is frustrating. Lambda school's approach to preparing explicitly for it is probably a good one.

Regarding take-home assignments, if you do decide to incorporate this into your hiring process, I think pulling a page out of Aaron Swartz's "How I Hire Programmers" [1] is a good place to start. Important points being to keep the task small and non-proprietary. If it is legally and financially possible, then also pay the programmer for her/his/they time.

> But I was desperate for a job

This is the key point. If you're truly desperate you have to try anything, including 50 hours on a take-home assignment.

Yes, those 50 hours could be spent applying for other jobs, but if you're desperate that's what you should be doing with hours 51+.
This is exactly what I wanted to learn. I really wanted to 'see' C in action at lowest level. This aspect of programming is what I am curious about.

I had but found they were too generalised and go too far backwards to cover how internet messages - specifically - came to be known as "posts". So they don't discuss the evolution of the word and how it crossed over to the digital era. eg did it cross over from early shop keepers nailing physical posts outside and just became a colloquialism for advertising that way? Or was it a reference to telegraph poles (posts) used to relay messages that then because slang for transmitting messages but later become a noun - like the reverse that happened with Photoshop (noun: Adobe product) / Photoshop (adjective: edit an image).
I don't have a playlist, but I do have a suggestion: if one doesn't work for you, play around with the choice of "intermediate" music. For me, the choice of music depends on what specific emotion I'm starting from and what I'm trying to do at the same time. (I wonder if Pandora could build these - take a starting and ending song and fill in a progression between the two?)

"Sad to melancholy to emotional to happy" might be good for sitting around at home thinking about losing someone (family, romance, etc), perhaps with a bunch of folk music and slower songs. Townes Van Zandt can connect to just about any amount of sadness, the middle could be anywhere from Dire Straits to The Dubliners depending on taste, and the endpoint might be Led Zeppelin. (Actually, you could probably do an entire playlist of this with Zeppelin alone.)

Whereas if I know I'm just tired and frustrated over minor stuff and I want to get work done, I might end up going "bleak to angry to driven to enthusiastic". Maybe... Filter to Black Flag to grandson to Glitch Mob?
Why would you not do a paid take home assignment when it's the way your potential employer is approaching hiring? Or do people ask this unpaid? We do paid two hour assignments, I feel like it just helps people show their style. And it's a helpful preview of where to coach them too.

Or they are not allowed. A lot of companies like Apple don't let devs contribute to open-source.

> Once you add `-nodefaults`, the list of arguments grows because now you must add a bunch of things that were there by default [...]

Partly true (refer below).

> If by "minimal command-line" you mean [...]

I appreciate your corrections, but please don't read too much into the word "minimal". I just quickly pasted it from one of the "subjective scripts" named `min-qemu.sh` lying around on my file system. By the time I realized, it was too late to adjust it.

> Most of the devices added by libvirt would be included by qemu automatically if you didn't say `-nodefaults`

Not quite; I just double-checked with an upstream libvirt dev: when you remove `-nodefaults`, some of the built-in devices get removed, whether those equate to "most" or not depends how many devices you've asked for.

> PS: You have too many "t"s in the "htttps://" in one of those URLs.

Yeah, realized too late that there was a typo :-(
Definitely this is not going away. I might make this a premium feature though.

I'm NOT tracking anything private. I'm tracking things like whether you're clicking a button or not.

This is how you're paying for the app.

I literally CAN NOT build Polar without this data.

> I appreciate that you are up front about it, but the attitude that you are entitled to my usage data

The reverse is true as well. I wrote this app for free. You're not entitled to use it unless you run the analytics because that's how you're paying for it.

I'm using your usage to improve the product.

If it has an exception or is slow on your platform I want to know about it.

If you're literally providing nothing of value in return I'm not interested in those types of users.

I'm going to write a blog post about this but this perspective is completely wrong headed.

You should be BEGGING developers to track your usage of the app as it greatly improves app design and reduces the cost of developing the app.

Cohort analysis ALONE has been a gods send in developing Polar.

This is discussed throughout the article.

While the outbreak may not be as immediately dangerous to humans as SARS, the official response should worry Chinese, as well as public health authorities globally. Thanks to its geographic position on migratory bird routes, its vast and largely unregulated livestock industry, and its weak public health institutions, China is a prime candidate to serve as the incubator for the next pandemic capable of killing millions of humans. Ensuring that Beijing responds to that epidemic in a responsible manner must be a global priority.

The title is alarmist, but the article backs it up somewhat. The handling of this pandemic (even if it only affects pigs) can tell us how they may inadequately handle an epidemic among people. It also factors into inflation in the Chinese economy as pork is one of the primary sources of protein for many Chinese. Food supply instability in China is good for no one.

You use Accenture to supplement your team. You never give them the whole project, especially IT and design projects.

I had a world history/geography/current events kind of class in college that had an in-person lecture and was also livestreamed and recorded. Lecture hall fit about 1800 people but he also had an unlimited class size "online" section you could sign up for if you didn't get in-person section during early course request. You never actually had to go to class. The professor had to get his own system for taking quizes and handing in assignments since the online learning management system the school used would choke with that many students at once trying to submit things.

Content aside, it was a very interestingly run course. Assignments were at your own pace, you had a large list of the kinds of projects you could turn in for credit. There were quizzes, exams, essay topics, interview topics, and an option for independent projects to get credit. Each kind of project had it's own maximum point value it would be graded out of and the final grade was totally based on how many points your actually earned, not out of how many. Even if you did a shit job on every assignment, as long as you did enough of them, you could get an A. It was a nice way to boost the GPA from just sheer effort rather than actual achievement.
