I have been testing Syncthing, and I like it. It doesn't rely on a client/server model -- it's client to client, and I rarely have two laptops running at the same time, so I set up a Raspberry Pi Zero W with Syncthing, and it acts as my always-on PC for syncing purposes.

I've had a few problems with temporary Vim files that are long gone but which Syncthing refuses to forget about, but other than that it's been smooth.
Add some 50GB Ethernet and that would make one hell of a storage server. With all the cores in a Threadripper you could do on the fly compression too.

Yep, the map definitely does not include experimental reactors, of which there are as just many. For example, UWI CNS SLOWPOKE in Jamaica.

There are 200+ decommissioned experimental reactors, 240 operational, 200 shut down, and a few others in change. The more interesting thing is the variety, 70+ types, 20+ types of moderators, 80+ types of control rods, 20-ish types of coolants, 50+ types of reflector materials.

I agree with the urban legend guess.

Yeah it happens, but not as often as you think.
That's what I was about to say, that the current state of JavaScript package management is "broken" in certain aspects. The dependency on a private organization for open-source packages makes no sense.

I think it's a healthy sign that we're starting to see more npm alternatives, decentralized package management protocol/standards. After some churn, may the best ideas win!
You should try Egyptian cooking. I love me a good foot, eye, Iris, scarab, cat, snake and Ibis stew.
It's interesting how you say

1) it takes really long to get a replacement of the ground (it's gonna be riddled with bugs etc)

2) wake me up when it's an actual problem

To me it seems like these two don't coexist well.. if it has become a "real" problem (whatever that means) then it'd appear that it'd already be too late to build a replacement solution, in your own logic.
Yes, but the cool thing is definitely the single system image
I'm not sure they were going for the regex answer - it seems like they expected the DP answer since they're using multiples of 8, which allow you to do it as a DP problem quite easily.
This is kind of like the "science is just another religion" argument.

If you're going to believe in something awesome that you don't fully understand then believing in the one that gives you vaccines, self-driving cars and Xboxes seems like a good choice.

Similarly, if you're going to irrationally hate another group then irrationally hating the people who irrationally hate other people seems like a much better choice than the alternative (possibly even a rational one), since those people are almost certainly causing you direct personal harm by voting for psychopaths and generally holding back progress across a million different areas, even if they don't specifically hate you irrationally, just most of your friends and possibly your children (but probably you as well if you don't join in with the irrational hate).

When I follow the news recently I wonder about the pure-blooded Aryan Germans in the Nazi era who weren't complete idiots or psychopaths and how they felt as their country was flushed down the toilet of history by the others in their own "in group". They weren't directly targetted for who they were but I'm sure that was little comfort as they bled to death in Frozen Russia or had firebombs dropped on them by the British.

Ditto. But the maintainer of the repo I linked to has thrown caution to the wind and thrown them all up on a Google Drive:

Lately there's been a lot of relicensing stories this year, mongodb[1] being the one I thought of first. It seems like the GPL is just a way for groups to protect their own assets without getting ripped off, and more permissive licenses (BSD, MIT) don't give the creator of that software the same protection. However, if you do violate the GPL and release a closed-source product, who's to tell? Who will know? Always struck me as weird.

Wouldn't a few HD cameras on the ceiling and OpenCV be as effective at 10x less cost without getting in everyone's way?
Have you looked at LXD/LXC? I find it to be a great compromise between the high overhead of VMs and the complex abstractions around Docker.
The most important thing is to have the tip of your tongue (almost) touching your teeth and then gradually increasing the amount of tongue-to-roof-of-mouth surface, beginning it the front - your current limit is where it blocks nasal breathing. This stimulates horizontal (forwards) bone development vs. vertical (downwards) development.

A "drill" I can recommend is writing out words a defined number of times (pick a number you like between 10 and 100), as you write also pronounce them without letting your tongue lose contact with the roof of your mouth. This may feel very unnatural at first. If you don't like the result just recycle the paper.

There's also the habit of sucking or pulling in your tongue - don't do that. I think it causes jaw clenching. If you want a fast way to get rid of that, invent metaphors for it and then watch yourself do it automatically in social interactions.

Also check out ortothropics, it's the emerging science of facial development through oral posture. They have a large collection of instructional material on YouTube.
Your plot is missing one key thing: are projects plotted at their start or date. In either case, I think that it looks like the delays started pre-TMI.

Other plots that I have seen show new additions slowing long before TMI.

Each pre-TMI project was managed with a different level of skill, or with better rolls of the dice on timing, and those that completed quickly were profitable, and the those that had long delays had huge cost overruns due to massive capital outlays and interest payments without any revenue to back it.

And another reason that I don't think we can blame regulation: look at Vogtle and Summer. You have to dig really really really far into backwaters of blogs before you can even find somebody saying "this regulatory process caused us to be delayed," and even those complaints are vague.

It's not regulation, it's the industry.

We can look elsewhere in different regulatory environments too: UK, France, Poland, all have the same huge difficulties we do when constructing nuclear. The places that seem to have fewer difficulties still have difficulties. China has long delays, that would still cause investors to lose money in the US. South Korea had been on a tear of seemingly good construction, but it turns out that the contracting process was rife with corruption and now there are worries that unqualified parts are stuck deep in reactors that are supposed to run for 60 years.

If there is a regulatory delay on these projects, I'm not sure that there's any sort of appropriate regulatory structure that would make them work. And you can tell because the industry insiders that complain about regulation don't have any fixes in mind.

The highs and lows of LSD literature
The COMPUTABLE-REALS [0] package from the article is interesting because it lets you change the precision even after a computation is “performed”. It basically builds up lazy representations of computations that can (internally) recompute to any precision specified. You do all of your arithmetic as normal and only until you need to do something with an actual decimal representation do you “request” it. You grab the actual approximation as a decimal number with the APPROX-R function, which provides as many digits as you please. There is no need to re-run all of your code which produced the (computable) number in the first place to reapproximate at higher precision.

This all directly falls out of a mathematical formalism called “computable real numbers” [1] which are the (countable!) set of real numbers for which an algorithm exists to compute the digits to any desired precision. (Usually binary digits are the standard way to write out the definition of a computable number.)

No, copyleft means anyone can use it for anything they want, commercial or otherwise, but the product and any modifications to it must be made available to others to do whatever they want with it.
It really depends what your goal is if you choose a copyleft license or not. As far as I know even the FSF acknowledges that for pursuing some goals (e.g. driving adoption of open standards) a more liberal license is an appropriate choice.
Even within the libre-sense there's differing axes of 'free'. You're describing one. Another is from the perspective of the software itself. Similar to the phrase "information wants to be free" (which sounds cheesy but gets the message across), if changes made to the software are kept isolated it's less free to spread which is the motivation for free software before it got fractured into open-source that's less free in that sense.
Sure.

Hemp is a weed and was growing prolifically all over the US until the 1920's and 1930's, when it was outlawed. Free range cattle still is a big thing but was even larger then. Most of the beef in the nation consumed hemp, and the people consumed hemp 2nd hand by eating the domestic and wild animals that grazed on this wild growing weed

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemp

Then you take a look at the "newly" (1990s) discovered endocannabanoid system in humans

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocannabinoid_system

It isn't hard to extrapolate that humans have been digesting the weed and cannabinoids for a long time and it is an integral part of the human system

Of course you can say humans and the plants evolved parallel and they arent related. I have no evidence to prove otherwise but typically when you see similar systems in the same ecosystem they are related.
I just use Overleaf, way simpler. Needs a keyboard with the iPad though. Almost a one button click setup.
Saying "I don't know" is an accurate answer.

The ability to ask meaningful questions is a big part of any programming job. And (in my opinion) harder to learn than any particular technology.
Capitalism has an enormous blind spot, in that it doesn't contains ethic provisions on what happens in a free market to people not able to create value that others are willing to pay for. Given the relentless tendency of capitalism to optimize towards eradicating any inefficiency, it contains as a natural consequence the propensity to expel those people out of the system - i.e. the ethical proposition of capitalism is essentially "produce or die".

There are some relief provisions against this outcome of people being expelled from the system, supported by those who reject it as immoral; but they are typically frowned upon by those who see capitalism as an ethical system.

The first one is building an unconditional safety net to take care of those who have run out of resources to compete inside the system. There's also the possibility to create make-believe work so that everybody will be able to earn a living; not exactly efficient, but for some reason this tends to be better accepted by free market supporters.

That only works if the page is relatively static. Add in any functionality that requires a round-trip to a server, and things get immensely more complex.
>First, I'm not a lawyer, but I've always seen the MIT license as being more "free",

If you are a lawyer can you maybe be more clear about "more free" , more free relative to what? AFAIK GPL protects the user freedom and I think you are referring at the programmers freedom, GPL is a license that respects the users/society as a group, most people here are developers sothey will say that this is less free for them as an individual, less free to take freedom from others(the freedom to study,modify and distribute).
Apache and MIT are not copyleft, since you do not need to share your code modifications.

weak copyleft would be things like MPL, that limit the modifications you have to share to only parts of the program.

CockroachDBs new license isn't even Open Source following the common OSI definition of the term.
That's absolutely not what copyleft means. The concept of copyleft is the core of viral open source licenses like GPL. CockroachDB did something completely opposite - they migrated away from open source licenses.
This will easily pitch you into an adversarial position and give you and your company a black eye. Remember: interviews are bidirectional. If I was pushed to the breaking point like this in your interview, I'd walk out without saying a word.

You're only going to be selecting candidates who can handle pressure -- not skill or ability with this.
How did I not know about this until now?! What a useful tool!
Not sure where you shop, but I can't remember the last time I went to a "normal" (i.e. not Whole Foods level overpriced) grocery store near me and didn't see some kind of spill, mess, or hazard on the floor.
This disproportionally filters for those who can think/code and perfom while under pressure/observation... i.e. the "porn stars" of software development, if you will.

Similar to how not everyone is able to perform well while having sex-on-demand in front of a camera -- these same people are more than likely able to have sex when not under pressure and observation, and probably are quite adequate while doing it.

My personal experience in software development spans decades, I'm quite competent and I have definitely "choked" at the whiteboard, just like you're describing -- for the same reasons I don't do well speaking in public, I'm not comfortable doing it, and I'm just not cut-out for it... I don't think it's a good measure of actual problem solving and/or software development competency.
Both assertions are not incompatible.
"with friends, no experience required"

...but what if I've got experience but no friends?
The coding is to get a sense of how they write code, how rusty they are, how many good habits they've picked up relative to their experience, how do they think about validation/testing of it, how the go about building it (ad-hoc vs top down), their problem solving skills when faced with an unknown problem and so on.

There will always be unknown unknowns. We are just trying to cover the known variations and if he has any unknown knowns[1].

It's Windows-only and doesn't contain any knowledge about sleep science. As I said, I could import the data anywhere, but that alone is not worth much.
You can just scroll up and down and it should restart once it get's into focus again.
> 2. not being able to solve these tasks doesn't mean you're a bad developer.

Half of those questions are based on sophomore-level data structures and algorithms classes, the same concepts that operating systems, compilers, and most libraries/frameworks are based on. I would certainly hope that an experienced developer could effortlessly relearn basic concepts taught to college sophomores long enough to pass an interview.
I guess you just don't like the metaphor?

I thought you had misinterpreted it, so I was trying to help clarify by extending the metaphor. In case we're still misunderstanding each other: the pebble is the language's warts, which you can't remove, only avoid or work around. Every language has its warts, but we're talking about Go's here.

You don't have to be rude about it.
Marty seems to be unreliable and produce a lot of false alarms. At some point crying wolf won't be taken seriously anymore and Marty's warnings will be ignored.

Tums after every meal is actually a really good way of getting electrolyte imbalances, to the point of developing kidney stones from the amount that the kidney has to excrete to try and keep things on an even keel. If you need tums after every meal, you should be talking to your doc about a PPI.

edit: Now I think on it, actually, depending on (variables), you might need a specialist visit more than a PCP visit for some antacids. Shame on me for assuming it's just unmanaged acid reflux.
It is, and the research applying ML in this area is starting to ramp up. For example, last year I worked on a project using ML to identify tornado vortex signatures in Doppler weather radar scans. It also turned out that a couple other groups published similar research at the same time. I would say to expect to be much more growth with ML in meteorology hoping it will all eventuality be applied in the field.
> Japan should move to wind, solar, and batteries rapidly instead of coal

There is no such technology Japan can move to at this stage, to cover the needs of major cities. DOn't forget that land is extremely expensive in japan (as it's rare to get stable and flat surfaces) and there is no place in which you can build large areas of solar farms just next to cities that need it. For high energy density production there's only fossil fuels (which is awful on so many levels) and nuclear (which is very safe even when accounting for Fukushima and Chernobyl and Three Miles Island). Pretending that there is right now more to renewables than just maybe up to 10% of energy needs is lying to the public.

Of course, we should continue to invest in renewables to make their costs drop as much as possible, but at the same time we all need to keep investing in nuclear too (and build new generations of reactors that reduce further the risk of meltdown).
The reason that people still ask algorithmic questions is because they work for avoiding false positives. False positives are a lot more damaging to a company compared to false negatives. While algorithmic questions can get many false negatives, they don't get much false positives.

I feel like Reddit is a suitable Outgroup even to Reddit.
I'm a big fan of Social Architecture by Pieter Hintjens, and it's explanation for why he picked GPL instead a BSD license.

BSD tends to fracture the community, and the community is generally even more important than the code, per se.
So far it's worked very well for me. Since I've started using it (admittedly my sample size is small) I've found some very effective programmers, and automatically filtered out a lot of egotistical types. Software is usually a collaborative effort and this technique helps in that regard.
I've used Edge for the last couple of weeks.

There's a button on the top-left which collects the current tabs in the window and puts them aside. They can be restored later.

Personally, I've only used this by accident. But I could see it being useful for "I know I want to come back to these tabs later (e.g. tomorrow), but I want to close the browser / do other things now".
ESPECIALLY for something that's so delicate as sleep.
Saying "I don't know" like this in an interview scenario is nearly impossible for most candidates and only serves to humiliate rather than prove their abilities.

If you want to see them ask questions, give a half explanation of the problem at hand instead and guide them to ask more detailed technical questions.

Be an ally, not an adversary, and you will find talent better than if you push.
It is reasonable to expect anyone to walk the walk. It is not reasonable to become very angry when they don't. Elected officials are more of symbolic representations of the ideas they're elected to uphold/enforce/legislate/whatever, and I can't understand why people act surprised/angry/outraged when they realize these officials are just flawed humans like everyone else.

That said, it is perfectly reasonable to be pissed when they do something wrong. But the significance here is that they did something wrong and the severity of the act. Their actions matter much more than any disagreement between those actions and what they present about themselves. We should be angry at the act, not the hypocrisy.

The Bill Cosby example would point at any outrage over Bill Cosby being a serial rapist specifically while presenting himself as a wholesome character/person. If your problem is the disagreement between his actions and his presentation of himself as a wholesome character, there is something severely wrong with your reasoning for this anger. The disagreement between action/presentation is so infinitesimally small compared to the action itself. I seriously worry for the society and people in it that are more concerned over hypocrisy than the act.
