I have never had a job where my one on ones didn't devolve into status meetings and chitchat. What the hell am I supposed to talk about?

The other comment is true, but also worth considering is that sunflower oil has a lower smoke point than the fats in butter (230°C vs 250°C) so you'd actually be lowering the smoke point by adding it.
This is a great case for envelope budgeting, as seen in tools like YNAB and GoodBudget. You can kinda get it to work with liabilities in a double-entry system, but it gets a little strange to spend out of liabilities instead of assets.
I use Docker Swarm for my personal projects. It works, and when it doesn't, I can hit it with a hammer and knock all my sites offline for a few minutes and no one will notice. Then it comes back and I can forget about it for awhile again.

I'm looking at switching to Kubernetes. It will be more effort to set up and maintain, it will cost more in terms of infrastructure, and I have to write more automation to handle side effects. The benefit would be that I then know how to do this when I inevitably have to set up Kubernetes for my day job (I'm a consultant).

Automating the installation and configuration of apps on a raw VM would be far easier and make more sense for personal projects. I don't do this because I already know how to do this.
To be honest there's really not much anyone is willing to do for HK. Particularly the European nations are doing everything to avoid provoking China anyhow.

Look at how almost no one is willing to even acknowledge Taiwan's independence in fear of Chinese reaction. Unfortunately, HK's case is much more hopeless than Taiwan's.

>Apple's apps come preinstalled on every iPhone.

Whose apps should have come preinstalled on iPhones? Samsungs? No apps, let the user install everything from scratch?

The whole value proposition from Apple is that you get something that "Just works".

It might have issues and bugs, like everything has, but the idea behind "just works" => is more or less ready, no fiddling required for the regular Joe.
Cool project! Amazing what tensorflow.js can do.

It's an antitrust issue. If I own the market and some of the fruit, I'll clearly put myself in a better position to attract customers, and thus make sales. The rest of the fruit vendors are 2nd class.

Not to mention Apple employees are banned from making apps outside of company time, since they are aware of the issue with insiders having power to make apps that out compete the rest.
I was surprised by the figure of 500K iPhone per day... then I checked total sales per year. In 2018 [1], Apple sold 217M iPhone. So even 500K is a low estimate, as that would not be enough production (0.5M * 365 < 217M...) So the figure is closer to 600K iPhones per day, or almopst 7 phones per second, all year round.

The requirements from nintendo to prevent code sharing really crippled the networking in smile basic, that was pretty dissapointing.

Of course if you've run fuse galle (or however you spell it) you can go grab a fairly complete python environment from a homebrew developer and just run that, there just isn't a decent editor you can run directly on the switch (yet.)
As a person whose straddled infosec and development, I always struggled with this. The multiple development machines is probably the best approach, but I've never truly seen it implemented correctly. I would love to not need admin access to my machine, but each time the companies I've worked for try this, it's always a struggle to do anything. This is everything from, "I need to modify/monitor core components of the operating system" to "The development tools came out with an update that needs to be installed." Most of the time, the response I've received was, "Enter a ticket, and we'll get to it." Often management seems to understand, "I'm waiting someone else" as "I'm behind, I'll work the weekend." You're right the downloading random things from the internet is an issue. Sadly I think a lot of this can be solved by the organization spending the money to buy all the needed tools and evaluate the correct open source ones, but there always seem to be budget and time constraints.

I think a lot of this stems from the fact that most of the managers in infosec for companies aren't developers and haven't ever been one. They really have no idea what developers really do. I'm not belittling them. It's just not the career path they took to get where they are. It's difficult to explain to them how frustrating being hindered is, and this causes a lot of good people to just leave an organization like that to find something better.
Though what could we do about it?
Has this approach actually worked for you? In all places I have worked, PTO is a non-negotiable, other than "I already have this vacation/trip lined up for two months from now and require the time off," which is okayed even if it's outside of their normal new-hire policy.
> They all solved it

But did they all solve in under the interview conditions? ( time pressure, coding infront of strangers, possiblity of not getting the job that you need etc).

I can pretty much solve all leetcodes on my own computer with noone staring at me like hungry wolf eyeing its next meal.

If course they don't do fixes for all of pip / PyPI, nobody does/can be reasonably expected to do. They explicitly only cover what they ship (which does includes numpy and scipy, but not pandas). If you can demonstrate an exploit with just "yum install numpy" I'm pretty sure they'll work on it.
Hey! That was my experience. New product direction; needed some designers.

Show up, and everybody is working on firefighting old bugs with a fake Agile approach. The kind where the manager hands out tickets to folks and the only metric is how many trivial bugs have been closed this week.

I put up with it for a few months and bailed.
Which model did you choose? I looked for a large, modern (4K, HDR) dumb TV and couldn’t find one. I’d pay a premium for this, or at least for a device that considers “dumb mode” a first-class use case.

In addition to trusting Apple (Apple TV) more than any TV or TV OS maker, models and firmware seems to be abandoned quickly. I’d rather decouple the UI upgrade cycle from the hardware upgrade cycle. Roku seems to support devices longer than the other TV OS makers, but they have “features” that I’d pay to not have (like ACR and https://support.roku.com/article/360021142813).

Because in a two-sided interview the interviewer is trying to evaluate you, but you're trying to evaluate the company and its processes, not the interviewer as an individual.

Usually it literally does not matter how the interviewer thinks and what they believe is right, you want to know the actual company policy, which often will not be the same as the interviewer might want to.

However, if you're being interviewed by your future direct manager, then you do want to get a perspective on how they think, as their individual attitude towards various aspects of work life will be relevant to you - but usually most interviewers aren't that relevant.

It's more about "choose what's important to you and respect each other's time". Not all questions will apply to a company. Many of them you can answer by reading company's website/blog, maybe looking at public repositories.

If you ask something that shows you did no research or don't understand the role description at all, that's actually going to count against you later. Same for holding someone busy with simple questions if you had a scheduled interview slot.
It should work forever, as long you own the field, and people want to use said field because that gives them access to a huge marketplace of devices that you've built and sold.

To me, "for me" and "for my use case" mean subtly but genuinely different things.

"For me" highlights the fact that my preferences, character, skills, etc., are different from other people's. Something might work well for me but badly for someone else because I happen to be good at working around its quirks, or bad at noticing its faults, or just not interested in the things it doesn't do.

"For my use case" highlights the fact that the things I need to do are different from other people's. Something might be good for my use case but bad for others' because I don't need very high performance but they do, or because I need the gostak to be able to distim the doshes backwards but they don't.

If I move on to doing different work and someone else takes my place, I expect something that works well "for me" to continue being useful for me but not for them, and something that works well "for my use case" to be useful for them but not for me.

Well it’s a shitty analogy because a swap to torx is basically a single API change.

The switch to py3 is more akin to using a new building material. Easy to start with once you know the differences, but it’s a bitch to retrofit if you depend on a method of construction incompatible with it.

“Go change the dependency” is a naive ideal. Most non-tech businesses have no budget for that kind of tech debt work.

Monte Cristo is also my favorite novel by Alexandre Dumas, but I enjoyed many other books he wrote — he used to have assistants that wrote part of his books, and, IIRC, one of them claimed that he was the main author of some novels.

I'd recommend reading "Les 3 mousquetaires", where the Lady is one of the most interesting characters I've ever met. The book was a huge success, and is still famous in France nowadays, like its main character, D'Artagnan. The two sequences are okay, "Vingt ans après" and "Le vicomte de Bragelonne".

Other good historical novels by Dumas are "La reine Margot", "Joseph Balsamo", "Le collier de la reine". For the fans, there are dozens of lesser novels, like "La tulipe noire" (which I know I've read, but can't remember at all).

Yeah, true. Although, the problem is lessened if properly abstracted away via opacity. MPFR (GNU multi-precision library) typedefs an array of size 1 holding its basic type, as opposed to just typedefing the struct of the basic type. This is (I think) purely so they don't have to put '&' in front of their "objects" when passing them around.

While I've great respect for the authors of that fantastic library, I only have this to say about the practice: Jeeesh!

Nobody is waging war against China over HK. There may be blood shed but that'll be the HK locals', not any foreign nation. I don't see how this could anyhow escalate beyond HK.

China can hate the USA as much as they want but from all I can see they have no intentions on waging war with the US over something as minor as HK is for them.

Can someone confirm my understanding that there is no percentage like 90% and if you are over that you are a monopoly . Is more about if you abuse your dominant position to screw the competition and consumers, and in this case Apple is screwing the application developers that they compete with by abusing their dominant position.

I think there's nothing wrong with what you're talking about here, but I also think it's different from the comment here. You really need to be asking questions throughout, taking any questions directed at you, answering them, and then using that as an opportunity to learned related things about the company, the team, and the environment you would be spending all your time in. It should be continual engagement and back-and-forth, rather than a one-directional quiz (until it's time to ask your questions.)

We haven't done much research on vaping as a smoking cessation tool.

We've done a bit on other forms of nicotine replacement, and they are more effective when they're delivered as a package of treatment, and less effective if they're used alone with nothing else.

Some smokers who've switched to vaping are now in a weird super-position state: they don't smoke right now because they vape, but take the vaping away from them and they'll go back to cigarettes.

That's not ideal. But it's probably better than them sticking with cigarettes.
So, because it currently "works", it should "safely" compile by adding many `any`s. (No Implicit Any, and other strictness flags set to false.)
