Yes! I'm from Wisconsin, and I feel this so deeply. I especially miss the crisp cold of October nights.

I remember hearing an episode of Minnesota Public Radio's Climate Cast [0], a show/podcast about the climate crisis in MN, where a guest spoke about cultural losses in his state. What happens when cross-country skiing is no longer a viable sport? Elsewhere in Minnesota, academics are researching the solastalgia of indigenous communities [1].

“Worse things” await us all no matter what path we’re on.
Your SO is very lucky to have your understanding. While personal torment in a situation like this is probably the biggest issue, the fear of others judgement is a very real problem to deal with. So many things that people say are just wrong in these situations, things that are well meaning but misguided. So having the support and understanding of a partner is a great thing, and probably a rare thing. From your comment you appear to have a good understanding of what your SO is going through and that will help keep your relationship strong.

Irish state told to delete “unlawful” data on 3.2M citizens
In the mid/late-90s, my university email address used the last 4 digits of my SSN, and they also had other systems that used the last 4 digits to verify your identity.
Yeah, $50/hr * 200 hrs/month = 10k/month = $120k/yr = $80k post tax.

Not a great income at a place where a half decent 1br can easily cost you over $40k/yr.
Sorry, not to be rude but in this case is sounds like you don't understand the problem domain. Perhaps I should have just said "UDP spoofing".

There is a huge difference between creating a generic UDP endpoint like the code you have shown, and crafting a raw UDP socket, where the source IP address is "spoofed", and UDP checksums generated to ensure that the packet looks like a valid UDP packet so that the intermediate network infrastructure like routers, switches and firewalls will pass the forged packet rather than discarding it.

The latter requires quite a bit of extra code. A good example is here:

https://www.binarytides.com/raw-udp-sockets-c-linux/

and last time I looked (month or so ago?) I could not
find an equivalent example for Rust. It may be out there
but I was unable to locate it. I'm not asking you to do my homework for me, just stating that learning what I need to know in Rust to do the above would take more time than I have available right now. That's not to say I won't figure it out in the future when I have more time.

> If you don't know how to do it because you don't know Rust, then fine, that's reasonable. (Albeit a strange criticism to lodge from my perspective.)

It's not a criticism of the language; what I'm asking may be very possible, I don't know yet. I just know that finding C examples is trivial, Rust examples not so much, so when I had a need for this kind of code recently, I turned to the language where I know it can be done and I could easily find examples.
Let me give a charitable and slightly less negative interpretation:

It may have looked like the applicant had someone else do the take-home assignment for him.

That said, I imagine that they could have interviewed in a more constructive way that may have been less stressful (e.g., walk us through your thought processes as you completed this take home assignment — most frauds can’t do this convincingly).

The company definitely could have done better. If you have someone hitting a home run on a take home assignment, at that point a no-hire decision better have some very strong justification behind it.
If you're in the states you can use Google Voice. Or if you're elsewhere you can get a local Skype number. Then there's a hand full of subscription based phone number systems like OpenPhone that cost money.
> I want the safety and uniformity of knowing that have gone through the review process

Like I said you could choose to install only reviewed apps.

90% of the apps I install on macOS are not reviewed by Apple and after 12 years that has never been a problem for me.

> If it not mandatory, no one will do it and I will lose the protection I have now.

If users prefer Apple-approved apps then the dev market would shift towards that.
But we aren't talking about non programming jobs. We are talking about programming jobs.

What everyone else does is completely irrelevant.

In the programming world, specifically, which is what we are talking about, firing is extremely costly.

This is proved by what companies in the programming world are doing right now.

If you disagree, then you are disagreeing with basically every major tech company in the world. And personal, my bet on who is right would be those tech companies, not you.
Forests have evolved into recycling ecosystems. When a tree dies naturally, it gets decomposed by various fungi and other organisms which, over time, release the stored CO2 back into the atmosphere. So the CO2 is released one way or another. What matters is that the living tree stores CO2 in its wood. Cutting and replanting might even increase the amount of stored CO2 because any wood that's used in the building industry is wood that doesn't decompose for decades to come. Wood you cut down to burn right thereafter probably reduces the storage capacity, but it's not zero due to the living trees!

Forests used to be real carbon sinks meaning that trees would just die without decomposing, because life hasn't figured out yet how to decompose it. This is how coal was formed around the globe.

Maybe some better technology to sequester CO2 emerges. But planting trees is a good approach for the start. If we want to slow down climate change, the CO2 sequestration industry will have to become huge within the next decades.

My favorite so far was the take home followed by a 3 hour non-coding interview (design/architecture).
The number of unconstitutional laws passed suggest to me that they either don't know or don't care.

The only "useful" (to congress) information that I can see gleaned as a result of this is that congress has a news headline to say they're doing something... which is technically information; even if the thing they're doing seems (to me) to be unlikely to actually provide any useful data towards a solution.
Up until the 2009 or so, tech interviews weren't like this. You'd show up, get asked a few easy questions, get a feel for culture, BS a little, and that was it.
If the content it hosts violates the law, then yes. Granted, 1st Amendment protections extend beyond what I typically find people believe it covers. Illegal content mostly falls under the category of:

1. Credible, specific, and actionable threats.

2. Illegal videos & images (CSE, I think revenge porn might fall into that category now).

3. Recruitment or tangible assistance to terrorist groups.

Even things like broad threats of violence are protected by the 1st Amendment (e.g. calling for killing of groups of people, provided the statements do not amount to specific or actionable threats). See this case as one example of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburg_v._Ohio
Fair enough. Age and life situation is also a major element in the consideration. Traveling as a child is different from traveling as a parent of small-ish children, and those are different from traveling solo or otherwise without children.
I'd probably say a 6800/6805 is about the right complexity for doing in tubes and not breaking the bank
Well as they own they company, it technically is their money. I think the bigger point you're missing is how our society's corporate leadership needs to shift their mentality and follow along with Stripe. Solving this problem isn't the sole responsibility of philanthropic individuals.
> If copying/buying solution is actually a problem, that means take home project is a thing that's happening, and copying is the new problem to solve along the way.

In case you didn't know this: take-home is very much happening. I was job-searching not too long ago, and roughly 10% of the places I talked to insisted on take-home assignments. I declined all these requests because I'm a senior engineer with many options, but clearly many candidates are taking them.

There really is a problem with people buying solutions for take-home assignments, I saw that when I was hiring. It just isn't acknowledged, so effectively it has become a competitive advantage for dishonest candidates who are willing to cheat.
I've intentionally avoided using Cloudflare's services when I can get away with it. I am afraid of what we are giving away to entities like this in the region of security. One gaping MITM vector.
Thanks for the explanation. I agree there's a small group of virtual-theists like Kurzweil, he's been a bit off kilter for many, many years. I'd love to upload my mind into VR when my meatbag expires, but the chances of that happening in my life are near zero, and not much better for brain uploading in general, IMO.
There are other places on the internet that would be better suited for this content please.
This is just one anecdata, but its really a timeless parable. So much of your life is wildly out of your control and not your doing. Hard work is neither necessary nor sufficient for great success.

It is the human condition told by the laws of large numbers. Devilish people prosper and divine people suffer. The only option is to do your best with what you got, and help your community do the same.

This shouldn't make things harder for marketing. Have plans drafted and set dates after approval.

As a marketer these 'launch the day the product is ready' goals don't usually get the best results. Often you burn power unnecessarily as you set activities up and then last minute delays are needed. This can loose money, goodwill with external parties and enthusiasm from the launch team. Or generally force to do things faster than you should properly plan and organise.

I always found this fast launch a bit illogical. You get one launch. Teams sometimes spend years developing a product but don't want to wait a couple weeks/months for a better launch once a product is ready.
Agree.
Can we at least mark 'gender issues' articles as such
At that time, we were getting new search engines that were fast and relevant often --- Google was the only one that didn't seem to get crushed with spam after 6 months. (After 10-20 years, maybe we could use another new one)
Thank you for this perspective.
So, it's legal to make a business that consists in copying all of the pay fonts and selling them for half the price under a different name?
No because the average user doesn’t know they care. They’ll just blindly install whatever and I lose the protection and safety that Apple provide.
> Memorize all known data structures and algorithms?

No, but you should know the classics. That's kind of the "general contract" for how these big tech companies interview. Most also proactively tell candidates what material they should expect to be interviewed on, like:

https://careers.google.com/how-we-hire/interview/#onsite-int...

A good interviewer is not aiming to ask gotcha questions where if you don't know that one specific weird algorithm for that one specific data structure, you're entirely hosed. That provides almost no useful signal to the interviewer.

But they will ask questions where some well known data structure is part of the solution and then provide guidance as needed based on what you seem to know.

Have they stopped allowing you to locally sign addons automatically?
I don't think this problem is THAT difficult -- I did manage to solve this on my own after a semester of algorithms class and a bit of practice from DP problems. The intuition is that at each index you're either continuing a previous subarray or starting a new one, depending on which one results in a larger sum. It's pretty standard DP stuff, and I'm sure there's many undergrads out there who can bang it out in an interview. Though I personally did it in the comfort of my home and probably wouldn't have come up with it in an interview.
Every company that has given me a take home exercise gave me a phone screen first. I don't think your order is at all typical.

When there is something before the phone interview, it is a coding assessment; these are generally different from a take home assignment in that they are generally timed and automatically scored, e.g. you hit start and have two hours and then a computer scores you. With take home exercises, I've always had engineers at the company read my code and discuss it with me.
You should read a bit more about it. The changes are so visceral as to be unignorable.

I'm surprised how much people hate take-home projects. Companies must've done this very wrong to piss so many of us :)

My take on the comments:
- We know whiteboarding and algorithms are bad.
- Take home assignment is better, but very few companies do this right.
- If doing wrong, the experience will be far worse, make you never want to do it again.
- The reason is, A. lack of transparency; B. unbalanced time commitment, candidate vs company

On the other hand, I think we should give more mercy/time to take home assignment. We know it's better, we know it's in the process of improving. If we don't say no to algorithm, it'll just be there forever.
Refusal is illegal, however, in the last two administrations, the DOJ just doesn’t enforce it.
I suppose it's theoretically possible that a fraudulent caller had exploited your device or phone line in some way, though that's a rare and extreme case. Still, it doesn't hurt to mitigate it when you verify (of course, it's also theoretically possible the same attacker compromised your other phone, or just that of the business they are impersonating, too.)
Yeah, I've used GCE's console many times with SysRq to debug frozen instances. Surprised that AWS doesn't have one.
You were entering the Schengen area - the group of European nations who have a combined border - once you enter one of those countries you can freely travel to the others (so no passport booths on the roads on the borders between the Netherlands and Italy) - your flight from Amsterdam to Milan was an internal flight.

What's the salary like to jump through all these hoops?
Bravo to Stripe's continued leadership and exemplification of what a modern corporation can and should be. The CCS area I've been most fascinated by recently is listed as their first area of interest: natural carbon sinks via land management practices.

I've been reading a little more about mob-stalked, heavily mobile grazing techniques (rotating cows/buffalo/ruminants daily) which increases the grass productivity per acre, thus capuring more carbon in the grass --> soil. If anyone knows of any resources/studies comparing the carbon sequestration of grasslands, which have incredible biomass cycles over several decades, vs managed forests which do not see the same level of biomass turnover, I would love to see them.
>“Although Corellium paints itself as providing a research tool for those trying to discover security vulnerabilities and other flaws in Apple’s software, Corellium’s true goal is profiting off its blatant infringement,” Apple said in the complaint. “Far from assisting in fixing vulnerabilities, Corellium encourages its users to sell any discovered information on the open market to the highest bidder.”

Why doesn't Apple simply outbid whomever is outbidding them? Why is Apple entitled to security research at anything less than the current market rate?

Consistently every year we see news of scientists saying that climate change is going faster than expected. That there is more methane trapped in the permafrost than expected[1], that the models the IPCC used didn't take into account such and such thing and so the next results are going to be closer to reality[2], that the cooling effect of aerosols is much greater than expected[3], etc.

At this point I just assume we are pretty much fucked. Even if we reached zero emissions today we'd still be suffering the consequences of climate change for centuries.

I am an iCloud customer and I know they use 3rd party cloud services.

Off topic, but good to mention: backups from Apple devices are indeed encrypted on iCloud but in general other files in ~/Documents and ~/Desktop and in the iOS file manager are not encrypted. I make a habit of adding passwords to sensitive files, which is a nuisance. Apple should encrypt everything going to iCloud by default.
Digital arbiters can theoretically take an arbitrary amount of time to settle although statistically they tend to settle soon rather than later. Also, if an Actor sends itself a 'stop' message over the Internet via Timbuktu, it can take an arbitrary amount of time to be received back. Also, an Actor can take an arbitrary amount of time to process a message.

In the above models of computation, arbitrary means absolutely arbitrary, i.e., there is no a priori bound on the amount of time that it can take.

Your trouble may be with Plotkin's proof, which shows that state machine models of nondeterministic computation are inadequate.
That's very true. But I think the reason people want so much to be consumers is because they are trying to fill an emotional gap/need.

Finding a pursuit that helps others leads to a greater sense of satisfaction than the purchase of a new thing.

No, JSX is JavaScript. You can write it in function calls or JSX, it's just syntactic sugar.

No, using a library doesn't mean the function used from the library isn't pure. Yes it could have side-effects, but the point is you aren't restricted. You can use pure functions or anything else.
