If I can give you some encouragements,

I don't consider myself good in DS&A puzzles. My definition of good in DS&A puzzles is basically you can solve common/most Hard Leetcode problems in under 45 mins. I think if you can do this you'll have no problem jumping ship of FAANG-league companies every year. I am still not in FAANG.

My skill now is pretty much in Medium Leetcode problems, which I can solve common/most of them in under 45 mins. I used to be worse at this and couldn't even solve Easy problems for 2 hours. I just practiced and practiced and studied, until it becomes easier.

Now, what this skill gives me is, I can easily knock off majority of non FAANG interviews out there, in under 30 mins. In my last interviewing with companies I actually did most of their questions each in under 15 mins. This leaves them to talk about something else such as projects, past responsibilities, cultural fit, or even just dismiss the interview altogether to save everyone time.

DS&A interview is in a sense, sort of a pair programming/discussion thing because you need to voice your reasoning out loud to check with the interviewer that you are going in the right direction.

Also once you practiced these kinds of questions, then it is no longer "I need to find a new solution to this problem", but more "ah I see this question before and I know how to solve this". It is pretty much almost brain-dead at this moment. Like, dynamic programming, recursion, and BFS/DFS are pretty much very mechanical. Once you've seen a few patterns, then you can tackle most of it.

Yes this skill doesn't come easily, but once you get it, you get it. So the difficulty of attaining this skill is overrated. It is like swimming and driving. Once you get it, it takes a few weeks to ramp up again. Weighing the pros and cons of DS&A compared to other style of interviews, it is clear to me which is the winner to optimize my happiness and lessen my sufferings. It is cheap to execute, it works majority of the time.

If a software engineer realize this reality and start playing the game, he/she is already ahead in the curve by a few miles from other candidates.

Ironically, I actually don't want most software engineers to realize this, because this skill currently gives me an advantage. If everyone start doing this, then the interview bar will be raised higher and we as an industry will see other practices which are optimized for software engineering candidates suffering.

Technology hasn't regressed. Nuclear plants get built cheaper and faster on a per unit basis when they're built as part of a series of production. France built dozens of copies of the same four reactor designs. By comparison, many new projects are one off or part of only a single digit number of copies.
> Software engineers are in no position to be suggesting or discussing individual clinical decisions.

Boy am I glad I work for an EHR that doesn't agree with you... If I was asked to implement a CDS rule that wasn't based on some reasonable clinical guideline (CMS quality measures, etc) you'd better believe I'd push back on it and want to understand where it was coming from.

Healthcare isn't some dark art that engineers couldn't possibly understand. These rules should be based on publicly available and widely agreed upon standards of care.
They are not chemically the same thing. Presumably they don't use vinegar because vinegar is less effective. However, the implication is that the chemical they use will break down to vinegar by the time it gets to the consumer.
This is similar to people who claim to be agnostics rather than atheists. There's nothing wrong with atheism per se, but no reasonable person wants to start any discussion by admitting, "I'm an asshole!"

That sounds like a good case for paying someone to do a project for you (if they're employed, give them an 'hours' budget over a longer 'days' or 'weeks' period). Then you'd have something to look at that they just built, fresh.

Back in about 2007-2008 sometime I was given an invite to Spotify, when it was still very much in stealth mode. In Stockholm at the time it was the talk of the town in hip web agency circles, and the question of why it wasn't a publicly available product tended to come up. Someone told me that the main reason they were in stealth mode still, despite having a pretty solid product at the time, was that the entire library of music was ripped off of CDs and not licensed, and they were working towards getting the labels on board.

The explanation made sense to me and would support your point of view, but sadly I don't know if it's actually true as I heard it from someone not actually working for Spotify.

> But you need to be able to sell your ideas and get people excited about them to have an impact on the world.

This is true. But there's a notional dial I think about. It's labeled "effort distribution". The left end says "substance" and the right end says "hype".

I've come to accept that 0% hype is a setting that mostly doesn't work. You need to make some people aware of your work, or you'll never get word of mouth. So let's say 5%. And really, you have to go higher than that, because you need to compete some with other people's hype. So maybe 10%?

The trouble is that hype is an arms race. So if the Media Lab is hoovering up money by overhyping things, then a) that money is being pulled from more substance-focused efforts, and b) to compete, now everybody has to burn more time on hype. Except funders, of course, who have to burn more time and money hoping to see through hype.

I can almost accept this in commerce, where we burn hundreds of billions of dollars per year on this arms race via advertising, PR, etc. But it makes me especially sad to see it happening in research.
I don't think it is a mystery that a member of the press could be a spy / some have been.

But I don't think that really means anything as to the post they were replying to when someone talks about the level of paranoia some folks have.

I see these kind of posts where someone mentions something and you get these sort of "look one time(s) this thing actually happened" info bit gets posted with no elaboration. I'm not at all sure what that is supposed to mean. Support for the idea that "every journalist is a spy and if they aren't they should be"?

If the intent is to justify that paranoia / those actions I'm not really sure that makes sense / you could justify just about anything then.

Species that have more offspring faster would be better able to adapt. This current rate of change is not unusual(see my reply to lukastr0).
Login fatigue. Yes, I use a password manager (1password).
But it means I need to stop going through the sign-up flow, jump over to the password manager, create a new login, change the password recipe from random-letter to random-word (which I prefer), generate a password, then go further modify it to accommodate the site's particular password complexity rules (upper/lower/special/numbers), add the URL, save, then go back to the sign-up flow to finish.

And... 90% of the time, that's what I do, because I prefer to have separate logins for every site.

But sometimes, I just click the 'sign in with google' because it's a hell of a lot faster and easier.

Sounds like you should have started your last step 18 months ago.

Getting it integrated on a scale large enough to warrant regular people using it and having it in more than one app they use will be the biggest challenge you'll face. Focus as much percentage of your resources as possible there.
The parent likely means background killed in the sense that iOS fairly aggressively removes loaded web pages from memory and replaces them with a screenshot and a url. Most of your 500 tabs are likely screenshots and urls. When you select them they fetch the page from the server fresh.

In most cases this is fine and frees up memory for other apps/tabs, but with web apps with local state, said state gets clobbered in a way that never happens on a desktop browser. Because it is fully automatic you can never really tell or trust that local application state will still exist if you tab away and back.

I have zero confidence that existing political structures can solve this problem. So much so that I view any political attempts at addressing climate change as a net increase in carbon emissions (because it is a waste of energy).

Even if a carbon tax was implemented in some countries, emissions would just move to countries with no tax. The only way to enforce it on a world-wide scale is war. War would emit so much carbon that it would defeat the purpose of enforcing carbon taxes.

That 10 million copies includes all the free ones they gave away on the Playstation. That's 10 million copies between Playstation, Xbox, Windows, Mac, and Linux. Some articles state about 40% of users were Playstation users with Steam users only being 30% [0]. Assuming the rates stayed the same and that an even number of Linux users bought the game as Windows (quite an assumption either way on both statistics) that would put the estimate of Linux Rocket League users closer to 20k, or 0.2% of the total purchased base. Overall, all these numbers are old and the final estimates are based on some big assumptions which may or may not be accurate.

That's not always a realistic option. I'd have to go pretty far out of my way to get to the nearest Amazon locker. And it only works if your packages are coming from Amazon.
Many of these distributions, at least the popular ones, are nothing more than forks of Debian, Ubuntu and RHEL/SuSE. And most (not all) people who would want to game on a Linux system use Ubuntu as it's by far the most painless thing to get going. Base yourself off of the latest Ubuntu LTS, compile your project statically as far as possible and you're probably good to go, containers can be used to get your project running on other distros if needed.

If you're using any engine even better, all of the major ones are cross-platform anyway and abstract all the nastiness away.
If someone is being an asshole instead of shaming them, we now shame the shammers. Which makes no sense, because now everyone is a shammer and should be shamed for that, because that's the rule now right?

>That might work, though few drivers in the U.S. heed speed limits even in construction and school zones,

Because there's nothing in it for them.

Most school zones don't have kids anywhere nearby outside two specific times of day.

Most construction zones don't actually have construction happen.

Many posted speed limits are either artificially low by statute (state laws to the tune of "if road has X then max speed limit = Y" are common), for revenue purposes or to account for a temporary condition that does not affect the entire area where the speed limit applies (e.g. a single tight curve or trucks enter/exiting during business hours).

In light of these it's no wonder so many drivers disregard posted limits since it allows them to get to their destination faster.

If drivers knew that a particular travel speed would result in hitting all greens then you can bet your ass the majority of them would drive that speed. There's a ton in it for them.

"Next: “A $300 projector can fool a human driver”"

I know you're using it as a hyperbole but there's no way you'd trick a human like this. You might do it by throwing a balloon dummy in front of them causing them to swerve for example. But the chances a human driver will fall for lines drawn on the road are very slim.

I'm a regular human driver, nothing special about my skills or capacities. But I navigate daily on a maze of roads with or without markings, or with a bunch of conflicting and overlapping marking on the road and on the side of the road (infrastructure is not that great where I live). Even when driving on a road at first sight I was never tricked by any of the fake lines or signs, and never randomly swerved because a sign/line told me to. As a human I can just ignore them and plot my own course having a better awareness of what's happening than any car has today.

It's a new tech and many drivers actually (over)rely on it. It's a serious issue because it's accessible down to prankster level.

iPad is an excellent consumption device, I never quite saw the appeal in productivity based add-ons. A few years ago my MBA died and I was quite slow in getting a replacement due to financial commitments. As a cord cutter w/o a TV my iPad was my main source of video entertainment and I was surprised that I didn't miss my Air as much as previously thought.
That doesn't sound right -- I mean, it might be true that there was a clear spot nearby, but it's not a good summary of the weather that morning. It was a blanket coastal fog that grounded the LAPD choppers and canceled many flights. I live in San Diego, 120 miles away, and it was pure white fog outside my bedroom window when I woke up too.

It was not in any sense a fair weather morning for flying.
Some closed source games get open source engines, if the game was good enough in the first place to motivate a team of open source developers. Morrowind (OpenMW), Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 (OpenRCT2) and Transport Tycoon Deluxe (OpenTTD) are three very nice examples. All three engines are much better than the originals.
Of course, don't lie if you are asked but there's nothing illegal about getting a new passport. Better not have a stamp of a country that is in very bad relations status with the country you are going to visit. Iran is not the only example here.
Exactly. I really don't like the rhetorical trick of taking a generalization and disputing it because it's not absolute. Especially when, as you say, the people involved have chosen to carry that banner proudly.
I have never seen such a support comment. (And I say this as someone who doesn't use Ubuntu and has never used Ubuntu.)

As other people have commented, the usual trend for Linux support appears to be that the developer needs to support the most recent version of Ubuntu (or maybe LTS), and anyone not using that version does the legwork necessary to make it work on their setup. And for consumer versions of Linux, Ubuntu is likely to be by far the most popular distribution.

It's mostly compliant as of a few months ago [0]. That document is actually out of date, because Apple added a discovery endpoint since then [1]. They also haven't implemented the userinfo endpoint, but the only claims they expose are openid, name, and email, so it's not that big of a deal to just ask for those in the id_token. And the client_secret_post thing isn't much of a problem either, since their custom JWT is a perfectly valid client secret that's compliant with the underlying OAuth 2.0 standard and it's explained in their discovery document.

Some are unique enough to get that $1m compensation. I don't know what John Carmack's compensation is, but I bet it's north of $1m. And he'd be darn well worth it. Ditto for Linus Torvalds.
I don’t understand how that is more private than what Apple offers? To my understanding, “Sign in with Apple” optionally also hides your true identity (ie. email address).

It's very important in Persian culture to treat guests well, better than your own family members if possible.

Keynote streaming has had a long, weird history over the past decades. Even when Quicktime was dominant, they would only occasionally stream it live. My understanding over the past decade or so has been they've used "standards" to stream, but just the standards Safari had implemented. I just don't think they cared that much about getting it to any home users live.

I don't know about the plaforms you're working with, but I'm pretty sure 3rd party cookies shouldn't be necessary for OpenIDC. They certainly weren't for OpenID. If it's a problem, it's probably because of the specific platform intentionally did things in a way that was bad for user's privacy.

Unfortunately, non-profits I've seen tend to be really bad at privacy because they need to a) keep things cheap and b) have a significant presence on advertisement platforms.
That does not match my view for hanging out in Linux gamer forums. Most games just support Ubuntu and everyone is happy with that because if Ubuntu is supported then it is easy to make it work on other distros. I have never heard anyone complain.
