Protests are becoming increasingly faceless
On my first day in a new house, I was greeted with a mug of vodka by my (long time settled in Ireland) Polish housemate.

Yeah, that was a tough one to swallow, literally.
Thanks! I noticed you silently fixed the "64 Workday" typo ;)

Here's a repo that has some code to transform the list into a .csv file. Having some trouble matching on the multi-company founders, which I could just deal with using code and not a regular expression, but a perfect regex would be fun haha.

It only got worse since.
I'm not sure why Germany has the reputation as making great beers, it doesn't really. I live there and the range and quality are both poor. You'll do better immediately in the Czech Republic, Belgium or even the Netherlands. The UK and Ireland also have strong craft beer cultures now, though the US certainly has had a big head start over them.
Seems really interesting after a quick read-through. Specs that allow range-based validation look useful, and the structural declarations also feel like they'll help reduce a lot of boilerplate and repetition. I wonder how this compares with Dhall and Jsonnet, both of which I've been looking into as a safer alternative to templated YAML. With Google putting its weight behind this I'm curious if it'll start finding its way into K8s.
Everyone I know from Eastern Europe likes to drink Vodka, Cognac, Brandy (Plum), etc. They'll drink a beer if there is no food being served but I've noticed that when they picnic/bring out a bite or have feasts that a bottle of Vodka is on the table with shot glasses. If there is going to be serious drinking they bring out the Samohon or the moonshine of the Region.
Freedom of speech is a "thing" in Japan and South Korea, albeit not to the degree that it exists in the US or possibly even Europe. Both countries have histories of popular protests and uprisings in modern times. In SK's case, it led to the impeachment of their former prime minister. Not every Asian country rolls over their dissidents with tanks. It clearly even seems to be a "thing" in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Although, granted, that did happen as a result of the West "changing a lot of things." But the concept is hardly alien to Asia (for some values of "Asia".)

It's different drinks for different occasions. Young people meeting friends in pubs or discos don't drink wódka (usually) - they drink beer. And if they do drink wódka it's only a few shots beetwen beers.

Alcoholics drink hard spirits or cheap "fruit wine" if they are poor.

Everybody drink vodka (and wine, and beer, but wódka is the tradition) on big occasions like marriage or other big family meetings. But getting wasted isn't cool and very few people drink too much usually.
I have no idea what that is, but looks interesting.

Tree Notation is free and open and there is no signup form. Just take it and do what you want with it. Play with it, examine it, see how it is built, see how it has evolved, try to find flaws, try to utilize its strengths, monetize it, share it, troll it, whatever you want.

There's no secrecy with Tree Notation. It's all out there.
This is not actually crazy. The prevalence of alcoholism is inversely related to how long most of your ancestors have been farming. And within Europe, the northerners have much more descent from the Indo-European invaders, compared to Mediterranean people -- this used to be a guess but we now have solid genetics. And we have known for much longer (from reconstructing their language) that the invaders had cows but not agriculture, before spreading out.
> There's a reason that there's a stereotype around the "shady" mechanic.

And why are people going to 'shady' mechanics? It's because they can't afford the repair at a dealership or a better known mechanic. They are knowingly making the tradeoff. I don't see how removing their ability to do so is pro-consumer.

Not only that, I as a regular joe can buy OEM auto parts and fix my own car. This is also true for tons of other manufacturers in almost every product line imaginable. Apple apparently doesn't even want me to do that. I definitely don't want to live in the world where, when my dryer timer breaks, I have to call an Authorized Repairman instead of buying a $5 OEM part, or where a $1 plastic piece on my mower breaks requires me to bring it to the nearest Troy-Bilt dealer or authorized repair person. There's absolutely no reason I can see why phones should be any different.

Apple is free to have an Certified Apple(tm) Repair program and shill it left and right. I fail to see how it's pro-consumer to do everything possible to strangle everyone else out of business. Nobody thinks random repair jobs are working on 'behalf' of Apple, any more than they think your shady mechanic is working on 'behalf' of General Motors, and that when he screws up its GM's fault. Even if there are a few loons who do, that doesn't justify savaging the repair market for everyone else. Apple is just a company, and nations should regulate companies to ultimately be for the benefit of their citizens. I don't care if Apple's brand is damaged in some way by the existence of independent repair shops if consumers have better access to cheaper quality repairs, which an OEM part market provides.
Those "rioters" appear to be undercover police. They're doing this to give the police plausible deniability.

As a Hong Konger, the problem isn't that the cops are amateurs; it's that the police are currently terrorizing HK residents. If Erik Prince helps them, he should know he's supporting state terrorism.
Thanks, I’ll check that out!
It was a myth much longer ago than 2013 yet the article is no less valid today. In fact with the rise of bootcamps and so on it has gotten even worse in software particularly. There should be laws against bootcamps ripping off hopefuls with false promises.
>I just don’t enjoy the infrastructure side that much.

That's fair, that's totally your right.

However, you're talking about absolute cost and unfortunately you're examples weave through true and false quite frenetically.

> - we don’t want to maintain our own build servers. We just use CodeBuild with one of the prebuilt Docker containers or create a custom one. When we push our code to Github, CodeBuild brings up the Docker container, runs the build and the unit tests and puts the artifacts on S3.

Like all things business, "want" and "cost" are different, in this case, depending on your size of course, it could easily be cheaper to have a dedicated "build engineer" maintaining a build farm. This is how the majority of people do it. (I work in the video games industry, it's _MUCH_ cheaper to do it this way for us)

> - We don’t want to maintain our own messaging, sftp, database, scheduler, load balancer, oath, object storage, servers etc. We don’t have to, AWS does that.

Again, those are "wants", TCO can be much lower when out of the cloud. But again, depends on scale. (as in, lower scale is cheaper on cloud, not larger scale).

> - We don’t want to manage our own app and web servers. We just use Lambda and Fargate and give AWS a zip file/docker container and it runs it for us.

I mean, 1 sysadmin can automate/orchestrate literally thousands of webservers.

>- We need to run a temporary stress test environment or want to do a quick proof of concept, we create s Cloud Formation template, spin up the entire environment, run our tests with different configurations and kill it. When we want to spin it up again, we just run the template.

Yes, this is a real strength of cloud.

> We don’t have to pay for a staff of people to babysit our infrastructure between our business support contract with AWS and the MSP, we can get all of the troubleshooting and busy work support as needed.

Yes, but you are paying "overhead" for all of that, and not having talented engineers on your payroll who understand your business critical systems is, in my opinion, foolish.

I've dealt with vendor support and it's incredibly hit and miss, and it's much more "miss" when you're a smaller customer to the vendor. Of course, this is anecdotal.
I read that slightly differently. I read that as: "even after putting the shoes on, the marathon still needs to be run". So yes, lifting reasoning burden away from eg. function interfaces (owning vs uniquely borrowing vs shared borrowing), lifetime problems (and so on), precisely enables everyone to put/spend more "effort" on the remaining difficulties.
I've interviewed many candidates for cloud native architect positions. None could tell me what important tools/patterns like TLA+ or CQRS and none could discuss the concepts once explained. Instead of recreating the binary tree from an array of in-order, depth-first-traversed nodes, which is an extremely narrow minded test of someone's skills, I want them to describe how they build reliable distributed systems. LeetCode, HackerRank and the companies whose interview process gave rise to these sorts of services misunderstand the idea of software engineering.
But the school probably already has pictures of the students for ID/yearbook....
My fantasy solution to all this is to separate PII from functionality.

You would have profile providers and interaction providers, and any of us would subscribe ourselves into the services we want to use, disconnecting whenever we didn't want to use e.g. Twitter or wanted to take a break. Within these joins, a person could control which of their PII they want to allow the service to have access to. You could run your own PII provider or join/pay for someone else to run it.
And not only that, but those IPAs are _different_ every day in some of the bars I go to. And nearly all of them are way better than what you'd commonly be able to buy in e.g. England, where this style of beer originated. Most people don't quite realize yet how amazing the US beer scene has gotten over the past decade or so. And other countries are starting to notice. I saw some Oregon IPAs on tap in a regular London pub when I was there about a year ago.
While the Golden Ratio is really popular, there are many other ratios that are aesthetically pleasing for different scenarios. I’ve tried to visualise some of them: https://github.com/hnarayanan/orthogons/blob/master/README.m...
I don't know about "most countries" - at least, I believe it's OK to drink tap water in most of Europe and Scandinavia.

Really? Cos you haven’t lived until you’ve bedded a deluded 15 year old? Spare me.
I just came back from the UK and Ireland. The craft beers were pretty average compared to what I get in the US but I’m sure they’ll continue to improve. It’s honestly just average craft beer in the US. It’s been a few years since I was in the Netherlands so I don’t remember much but I don’t remember any good beers. Maybe they’re make good ones now but I didn’t have any when I was there.

Germany gets a good reputation because they make a certain type of beer extremely well, like Belgium makes Belgians extremely well.
it would be better if everyone including the cops were all sprayed so the use of blue dye to highlight individuals would be impossible
This is addressed in the beginning of the article,

>The alcohol belts refer to the traditional beverages of countries rather than what is most commonly drunk by the populace today, as in terms of drinking habits beer has become the most popular alcoholic drink in the whole world, including various parts of the wine and vodka belts.
I love this because it is both bullshit and awesome. Like many things thats either a rule-of-thumb or subjective, it has been studied thoroughly, confirmed, debunked, and applied succesfully many times.
Pretend your computer screen is a window with text printed on it. Look through the text, through the window at the distant mountains on the horizon. The text blurs and you see it with double vision because your eyes are focused at infinity.
There's a real difference between vodka and brandy: most vodka isn't supposed to taste like anything, while all brandy is supposed to taste like something. Maybe you want to divide things differently, but I don't think you're the one to say what the facts are for everyone.
"these days" is key. I think the map is trying to say that maybe 200 years ago, people mostly drank hard alcohol of some sort, not beer or wine. Do you know whether that is accurate?

And they've lumped by country borders, too. Could people grow hops in very southern Norway, perhaps?
So you want to ban religion?
Watering wine is a historical thing dating back to the invention of wine. It makes bad wine taste a lot better. So I'm sure there's plenty of wine for which its fröcc tastes a lot better.
Slightly off topic, but I feel like when people talk of STEM as a lucrative field of study, they tend to imply CS. Non-CS STEM field hardly have a shortage of qualified and talented people. In fact, there's probably a oversupply compared to job prospects in non-CS STEM fields. I see so many talented Math/Physics majors end up switching to CS and do mundane software engineering work.
Interesting project, thanks.

I wonder what they see that makes it suspicious. Carbon monoxide is not easy to murder with and there are a host of straightforward reasons why someone in their car would die from it. Was there a tube found going from the tailpipe into a window?

In graph theory, a tree is a cycle-free graph and a triangle is a cycle of length 3. Ergo, a triangle is not a tree.

So what are your definitions of tree and triangle?
The same is true of .999... and 1. In any case, it’s an artifact of how we represent numbers, not an property of the numbers themselves.
The older I get and the longer I do stuff the more I realize that everything is broken and there's nothing you can do about it but try to do the things you are doing well, learn from people that you think are doing something well, and teach people where you have figured out how to do something well. None of these things are blanket rules you can read in a blog and then follow.
I'm sure parts of China are - it's a huge country.

For example, I visited Guilin a few years back, and there wasn't any detectable pollution (I'm asthmatic, so I really feel it where pollution is bad).
Agreed. No idea what DS stands for in this context.

Yet another article with the same premise: “there is no shortage of scientists and engineers, there are enough of them!”

Take a moment to read through the article. First it tries to show that STEM graduates are such a small proportion of the total labor force, only 3-4%, the implication being that such a small proportion shouldn’t deserve the attention the get. OK, fine you’re arguing that it’s hype.

Next, cherry pick data to show that not all STEM graduates from this tiny sector can all find jobs. Yes, this is not a factory, you can’t just train someone and expect them to be productive in STEM. It’s not the same as pushing buttons or lifting things, it requires much more from the person which is why you can’t mass manufacture STEM graduates. Just because not all STEM graduates can find jobs means that it’s a hype? Okay.

Next, sprinkle some grievances about STEM being used to justify increasing the number of H1Bs, and now you’ve got the racists, the “H1B workers are why I don’t have a great job” crowd. Nice.

Oh, don’t forget the quotations of authority figures sounding alarm about the lack of engineers. The same alarm, that helped US education systems include more technical training to keep up with schools everywhere else who were in the same race. This is not some secret, all countries know the importance of high skilled labor force.

The wealth and prosperity we see in most nations today is precisely due to the work of millions of STEM graduates, creating innovations and technologies that constantly drive down costs of manufacturing and transportation, increased labor productivity, gave us fucking smartphones and internet everywhere devices and are currently bringing down the costs of renewables so rapidly that even Texas is going all in on wind energy.

I’m very upset that this appears in ieee though. I imagined that to be a respectable academic institution and not one that would allow such a poorly researched and hyperbolic article to be published.
It's much worse in life-sciences where PhDs are washing pipettes or feeding mice.
I don't know that I'm extroverted. I'm still in group A, though, because I don't have interview anxiety.

My problem with take home stuff is that it's asymmetrical. That is, if we're doing a phone interview, it takes my time, and it takes your time. Ditto an in-person interview. You're serious enough to commit some of your time to it, so I'm willing to also do so. I know you're looking at other candidates, but if you call me in for an in-person interview, I figure I've got at least a 30% chance of landing the job. That's enough for me to be willing to invest the time.

But with a take-home assignment, it costs me much more time than it costs you. So you could be giving it out to tons of people. How many? I have no way of knowing. So you're asking me for 6 hours (which may turn into 12), but what are my odds on getting the job? Are they still 30%? Or are they now 1%, because you just gave this assignment to 100 people?

I'm not going to plow 12 hours of my time into a 1% chance at a job. Just no. And the problem is, if you tell me "oh, we're only looking at a couple of people", I have no reason to believe you. But if you're actually interviewing me, I believe you, because it's too expensive for you to interview 100 people to hire only one.
When there’s no market pressure in a sector, why would any company do anything but the cheapest possible customer service offerings? I recently had to deal with trying to convince my ISP to cancel a charge for a wifi router that I don’t even have, and upon them crediting me for the over billing, I received an email from UPS telling me a router had shipped (which I will have to send back). This all increases revenue for the company and it’s not like there are other people who have a fiber line to my house, so what am I to do?
> The one time I went to Romania I was given a lot of homemade brandy with fruit, all of which appeared to have been distilled from Moscato wine and then having fruit added.

You are either wrong about this, or you were served something very unusual. Brandy in Romania is overwhelmingly produced solely from fruit, with no role for wine at all. I have witnessed the production process myself while staying in the countryside.
If you want somebody to describe how they build reliable distributed systems, then ask them to describe in detail how they would build one for a specific use case, instead of quizzing them on alphabet soup.

Lean Startup by Eric Ries: Introduction
Norwegian here:

Even though we have a long history of moonshine, especially in the rural areas, we are most def. a beer-drinking country.

If anything, our taste of alcohol is more diverse than ever before, simply because there are more options.

When I grew up, people either drank beer or moonshine, because that's the only things we had available in my small village. Then the (state owned) alcohol store arrived, and moonshine completely disappeared.

I remember the first time I visited Russia, in the 90s, and was set back by the sheer amount of Vodka the Russians drank. Went to a party, and couldn't find a single beer. They were all drinking straight vodka. But IIRC, they've now been "westernized" on that front, and drink much more beer.
In that vast majority of cases, interviewers are expecting the right solution.

When I see a question I know the answer to, I pretend to eventually come to the solution to impress fools such as yourself.

I found I was back to near my original typing speed in a little over 2 weeks when I switched to Workman layout. I also switched to ortholinear at the same time, which may have had an effect on the time as well.
There is no such thing as a "STEM job". There are computer science jobs and marine biology jobs, both under the rubric of STEM, but the skill sets are not fungible and the employment prospects are wildly different. We can simultaneously produce more STEM graduates than jobs and have a shortage of workers for STEM jobs.

The most popular STEM degree by a large margin is psychology, many more than all engineering disciplines combined. That psychology majors can't find work implies little about the demand for engineers.

That said, Clojure does not invest a lot into beginners. Not a lot of tutorials, guides and tooling are similarly unfriendly and assuming you know a lot. Not trying to scare you off, just setting the right expectations.
What’s wrong with bootcamps? I know a few success stories, and I firmly believe that if somebody wants to learn programming, it is doable almost for everyone. It is hard, like learning a foreign language, but as nearly everybody can learn e.g. Spanish, so nearly everybody can learn how to program.
