> Then it hit me... And I'm sure the same is for buck, pants, please.build, gn and other similar systems.

There’s an exercise you can do where you design a build system on the basis that it shouldn't do unnecessary work (which can be very slow and frustrating in practice).

My personal experience is that you can really quickly get to the point where just reading the entire graph into memory gets expensive. People talk about how Google is huge… but long before you get to that scale, you can end up with a build graph that just takes forever to parse and evaluate. (At Google's scale, it doesn't even fit in memory any more.)

So you decide that, as a hard design requirement, you should be able to only load the portion of the repository that you are building. And then you want to make this cacheable, so you can change the repository and know what’s changed in some quick / reasonable way.

If you go down this path, you end up rediscovering some of the big design decisions behind Bazel, Buck, Pants, Please, and GN.
I don't actually know if general intelligence is a thing the way you're describing it. There's no reason why an insanely smart algo PhD-from-MIT person could take their algo smarts and intuitively apply it to being a compassionate human being dealing with others whose existence and experiences may be drastically different from themselves for practically no feasible reason (fate/gods/random chance).
"zig fmt" ostensibly cleans up carriage returns and tabs, for what it's worth.

Granted, I agree that it's silly that Zig's compiler can't just "do what I mean" and just accept that there will be tabs and carriage returns.

However, I'd say programming languages in general always seem to have trouble with Windows at first, in particular because Windows is pretty alien to those more accustomed to Unix-like environments (which, I reckon, is where most people making new programming languages are actually making said programming languages).

Crystal still doesn't have full Windows support, either, on that note (you can cross-compile a "Hello World" program, but there's a lot of pretty critical stuff missing).

The analogy does not hold because you still lose time, which is IMHO the most valuable commodity because it represents opportunity cost.

In built into a lot of these discussions is a major assumption - that a startup is a "typical" silicon valley startup with the goal of being a massively valued entity. That changes the risk structure dramatically. If instead you tried to bootstrap something into a 2M annual revenue enterprise with minimal (say 200k) worth of investment, the equation changes quite significantly.

I'd assert that in that situation, playing the role of "early tech adopter" into new problem spaces dramatically reduces the risk as well.
Far more people need eyeglasses now than a few decades ago. It is like a myopia epidemic.

If that's the case, then the decision to assign it to an intern and give them 3 days, and then not to test it with a diverse set of subjects was somebody's fault and failure.

If they were not an intern (or even if they were, frankly), the engineer who built it also had a responsibility to think beyond their own demographic; and if the timeline was too short to develop a properly robust system, to at least point that out to management.

You might be surprised how "civilized" military members can be. Among their own and blowing off steam they will say things that will make the hair curl on most people... and then if you look around at the others it's obvious it's not said out of malice but is a mark of The Brotherhood. They have not only pledged their lives to serve and protect their bothers in arms, they have, in many cases, made good on that promise. Saying massively politically incorrect things -- even things that would sound hateful to an outsider -- is a strange way of showing affection. "I might think you're a blankety-blank blah-blah politically incorrect and mentally inferior example of humanity but I will give my life on the battlefield so that you can make it home, even if I don't make it back myself." For those who have not gone through such an experience, no amount of explanation is possible; for those who have, no explanation is necessary.

But around "normal people" you would never suspect what they've been through (with the exception of PTSD and obvious injuries).

I talked to a guy who was ethnically Korean, but was nationally and culturally American, and who lived in Japan.

I am now almost certain that acetaldehyde is my migraine trigger. The sources for me included chocolate, alcohol, tomatoes, certain fish and preserved meats, all of which are common sources of acetaldehyde.

I can't always avoid these things, but I can usually avoid combining them, and migraines are now less frequent and a lot milder - unpleasant rather than debilitating.

I have also found that dehydration is a major factor. If I skip breakfast or lunch then I make sure I drink, even if just tea or a large glass of water.
Just to clarify as Im not sure i follow. Would you not be doing this if you weren't religious?
> Sizing them correctly

Explain please?

Yes, there are some considerations when you're dealing with RF, but a modern 0402 0.1uF cap works pretty much everywhere because it has such a great frequency response due to its small size.

Now, explaining to people that their 10uF 6VDC 0402 across the power rails probably doesn't have as much capacitance as a 2.2uF 15VDC 0402 is a little subtle.

It is also an issue that decoupling caps can hold too much energy and keep a power domain operating when you wanted it shut down. That makes for some interesting debugging. Power domains now require discharge circuits because IC's use so little power.

Yes, I second this. Particularly bouldering if you're more interested in strength/smaller but more physically and cognitively demanding problems.

I think it makes sense depending on the nature of the role in question.

If the role's primary function is to do validation prior to manufacture this seems like reasonable. it assumes that new circuits will have some number of fairly common mistakes. in my experience this is very true, despite the skill of the engineer who designed the circuit. missing termination, pullup/downs missing, etc. if the role is applications engineering...well...its far less likely you would be troubleshooting common circuit design issues so much as you would be troubleshooting common system design issues. im sure you can extend this to other functional roles an EE may take on. if the job is to design a MCC and size breakers to minimize arc flash hazards i doubt the applicant will be up on a correctly build half-bridge rectifier.

in that list quoted i've encountered all of it in new designs, including missing stuff plainly stated in the part's application notes (like those regulator caps).

This is because of the G.I. Bill, wherein the government will pay for your education if you serve in the military. This makes service a viable alternative for paying to college, as opposed to loans or coming from a rich family.

As a result many Americans join the military with their primary intention being to go to school after they complete their service. I believe 4 years is required for the G.I. Bill, but I could be incorrect.

> Would the American people care even less than they already do

I don't think that's as much about the advancement of technology so fewer civilians know/think about the war. I think more the psychological component of the military (propaganda/PR, crafting messaging and wording that legislators use, choice to assist movies which glorify the US military or not assist those which are critical, choice not to publish images of US coffins in Dover[1]) and how politicians and media symbiotically weaponize the "us versus them" to drum up support, FUD, and urgency for non-necessary "wars" (in quotes because we haven't declared war since WW2... Korea, Vietnam, Kosovo, Iraq 1, Afghanistan, Iraq 2, et al were "police action"s or military "use of force" actions -- which further proves my point).

I think we need to make parents sign their daughters up for "Selective Service" (again with the propagandized terminology) if the ultimate goal is to get voting civilians to care about ending unnecessary wars.

I recall reading a paper, maybe ten years back, about a collision handling algorithm that was far simpler than any I’d seen before. The paper claimed that double hashing avoided unresolvable collisions in most cases without chaining or any of the additional overhead (especially on deletes) of cuckoo hashing or any of the alternatives.

Each key can live in two slots, using two different hash algorithms. If it’s not in the first it’ll be in the second. I can’t speak to the quality of their math. And of course a lot of theory for hash tables is based on the quality of the hash. The empirical evidence has often failed to support the theory.
Could you give a specific example of what kind of integration you're looking for (that can only be addressed by WSL0/1)?

I'm an EE. My first job out of university had a pretty good whiteboard interview (I know - we're not supposed to say good things about whiteboard interviews on HN). I thought the process was pretty straightforward. The first exchange went something like this:

Interviewer: "Can you draw me the schematic symbol for an LED?"

Me: Draws LED schematic symbol.

Interviewer: "What would you say the forward voltage is on that LED?"

Me: "That depends - maybe between 1 and 4 volts depending on the color?"

Interviewer: "Good, let's call it two volts. What would you say would be a reasonable current if we're just using it as a power indicator?"

Me: "I usually set it to around one milliamp on my boards."

Interviewer: "That sounds good. Can you show me how you would connect that to a 5 V supply?"

Me: Calculates ballast resistor size for 1 mA current from a 5 V supply with a 2 V LED drop, then draws a circuit with an LED, resistor, and 5 V source.

---

And on it went. We ramped up through complexity: next we did simple BJT and FET switches, then basic op-amp circuits including single-pole filters. I stumbled on a differential BJT amplifier question, but the interviewer helped me through it. And so on. I didn't nail everything, but I got most things right. I ended up getting the job.

When I asked the interviewer later about his experiences using test for hiring, he told me a sizeable chunk of new graduates flunked out on the first question, which I found pretty shocking. A lot of students with excellent resumes didn't even know how to hook up an LED!

As to the cause - it's just a guess, but I think many "good students" these days are very good at regurgitating information and memorizing procedures to complete formulaic exam problems, but aren't very good at actually developing the physical understanding of what's really going on. When I was in my senior year, I designed a buck converter as a small part of my capstone project. One of my team members remarked that he didn't realize a buck converter was a power supply, and that he had seen it in his power electronics class but had no idea what it was used for. He could do the duty cycle calculations for one all day long, but he didn't even realize it was a DC/DC power supply!

Universities these days do not seem to successfully evaluate deep understanding. Rather, they seem to optimize for the superficial appearance of understanding. Even "lab courses" when I was a student were formulaic: plug this wire in here, put your probe here, read this value here, do this calculation here for your report. There were very few courses that were actually designed to encourage real experimentation and practical learning. A good EE needs to develop a mental model of the underlying physics and be able to relate it to practice, and that is a tricky thing to teach in the classroom.

Anyway, all that said - I really like the idea of the "bad schematics" approach for an interview question. If I ever find myself in a hiring role, I am 100% using it.

Handpick them out of your network and give them not just equity but real control as well. That for the first 5 or so. The others should come from your network and be handpicked by your handpicked first 5 employees. And equity, but obviously less than the first 5.

In my case my first employee, as soon as enough comes in to pay someone, is already recruited. Equity will be around 20%, with another 25 or so for the next couple of employees. That's without outside funding, doesn't seem to be necessary so. If it will be necessary that obviously changes.

Did you take the time to read any of the citations for this report, which, again, is supportive of puberty blockers and (strongly) supportive of early medical intervention for TGD patients? Or are you hanging your entire argument on "research on long-term risks is currently limited"? The report's citations are clearer, as are the other resources you'll find on puberty-blocking drugs. The medical research consensus appears to overwhelmingly support delayed puberty as a treatment strategy for TGD patients.

(The "irreversability" of effects from puberty blockers is itself contentious; TGD patients given puberty blockers apparently tend not to desist, and puberty delay is followed up with cross-sex hormone treatment that can theoretically reverse bone mineralization issues; the age at which the drugs are administered is also a major variable in these studies).

I've read something like 9-10 studies on this issue this afternoon and haven't found one that couldn't reasonably be described as "strong support" for GnRHa-type treatment. Can you find a credible study that isn't? All I found were things by people like Michael Laidlaw, a private practice doctor and tort expert witness who is cited more frequently in places like The Daily Wire and The Federalist than in medical journals. You can probably do better! And you need to do better than a single sentence from a long report that appears to straightforwardly and directly disagree with the thrust of your argument.
