These are examples of indicators that, taken together, helps determine how in-depth your knowledge is. I imagine that if you work with JS on a more than surface level, you'd eventually be curious about or be forced to understand how things actually work to be able to precisely control your program outcomes.

It could be very important. Like the difference between something running at the right time or not.
Plenty people here suggest Damore's something smart, can I see his GitHub?
Was about to post this. The Hyperion saga is an absolute must for hard SF freaks. If you like the three body problem, you’ll love this too.

The 4D creature mentioned by parent is amazing. There are more 4D puzzles like a temple moving back through time.
Many parts of South Asia already have home-grown solutions to battle the heat. The rise of cheap construction without consideration for local climate conditions have made them less prevalent.

For example, in Jaipur, traditional stepwells dug under houses absorb a lot of the mid-day summer heat. With some engineering, these can be scaled up to cool entire neighborhoods with energy efficient geothermal heat pumps [1].

It's easy to be all doom and gloom about climate change. But some mitigations are staring at us in the face. Others will take a while to become usable/cheap enough to be deployed at scale.

At those intensities, microwaves seem significantly less useful than optical PV.
And yet last year in July Germany observed record-setting cold. The summer in Eastern Europe had been very cold from July on.

The moderate climate of Western Europe is changing probably due to changing jetstream (which is probably result of cooling patch in Atlantic Ocean which is probably the result of melting glaciers in Greenland). But paradoxically what makes West Europe summers hotter makes Eastern Europe cooler in summer.

Moving from London to Minsk and from Paris to Smolensk might seem like a cool idea for summer.

For a long time, this was sold as a plus for gaming consoles, but afaik even there a bunch of cheating tools are available now. So right now game streaming is being sold as the next savior of online gaming since everything runs in the cloud.

But being the pessimist I usually am, and reading about how the cheating business is apparently a multi million dollar market, I expect this to also not hold up forever. There's already AIs that can play doom and starcraft just by scraping the screen, so if people are willing to pay for cheating tools, they'd probably also be willing to attach stuff to their Google Stadia that captures the screen and simulates input.

Or some groups villain. It's especially crazy considering the first article posted was the gizmodo one [0] which was "reproduced in full below, with some minor formatting modifications. Two charts and several hyperlinks are also omitted" and if you look at an original [1], you can see that it was actually completely reformatted, all charts were removed, and all 35 hyperlinks were removed. I've heard of journalists selectively quoting people but this is a whole nother level.

(Final Edit) Our Financial Oligarchy; Emperors of a Brave New World
Often you want to fix something quickly but run into a stupid problem -- you don't have the right data locally, or the wrong version of something, or an unrelated thing is broken, or something is undocumented and the person who knows isn't immediately available.

Thus you feel deflated, the energy is gone, and finally you move to something else.

Instead, fix that stupid thing, once and for all. Get to the bottom of it, automate all the future times it would happen again, don't just hit it but hit it out of the park.

Not always, because you won't do anything else, but often.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm convinced we've just taken the industrial age economic and banking system and copied it into the digital age, but we haven't accounted for the near-zero marginal cost of information creation, storage and transmission. So the actual scarcity vs. the artificial scarcity of things is off.

I think we can get there by valuing knowledge differently: subsidizing the cost of knowledge production and distribution - all costs from the start - so that it doesn't need a business model once produced. I think that's the key. To read more on this phenomenon I enjoy Yochai Benkler, who came up with the term 'Commons based peer production'. Some examples include Linux, Github, Open Source Ecology, Precious Plastic, Wikipedia, Sensorica, Valueflows (Holo-REA) and Holochain.

Retake statistics moron. Hope your professor is a woman.
One of Google's HR groups did a test where they gave the hiring review team their own interview packets (anonymized, from when each team member originally interviewed). None of them were hired.
I think we’re weaker for not including someone because of those traits either.

Why focus on women now?

Because there’s a lot of women in the world and they seem to not like this field.

I don’t really have a good answer, I thought Damores memo was pretty good and I thought it might provoke the powers that be to approach the distribution of underrepresented factions a little better.

For instance, if you want to hire blind people (and you should want to hire a few blind people) then offering accessibly tools to them is a no-brainer.

And if you’re not getting any applicants, maybe you should look at why. Maybe your job board can’t be read by blind people. (To keep the analogy going).
You could also

1) parse the source file

2) find the debug info and read it

3) hack the compiler to do this for you
Fair point, though we are very far away from people dressing for Antarctica while they sit on the couch watching Netflix.

You are also leaving snow and ice out of it. There are economics and externalities of moving tons of solid matter around with relatively low latency (people have to work, trucks have to ship). There are also the safety implications and costs associated. Traffic and accident rates do not go up because the precipitation was unexpectedly ten degrees warmer.

"As part of and a central stipulation of this agreement, the plaintiff agrees not to purchase a luxury convertible vehicle and drive it around Sunnyvale while having scantily clad models recite his original memo through megaphones."
Also: don't question the work.

Sometimes it's already a compromise between too many people who questioned it, and nobody wants to discuss it any more. Sometimes the questioning is more work than actually doing it. Sometimes you get a reputation of only being in the way.

Make sure the work has been questioned thoroughly, but that doesn't necessarily mean by you.
Have you seen the rest of Twitchs content? Most of it already is entertaining "garbage". It's just low-quality self-made-content, which is ok, because for high quality-cotent we have netflix and similar services. Low-quality content has it's place, and twitch is simply accepting this.
And Crysis 2. I wanted to get into the multiplayer of that game but it was hopeless. Every single server was filled with either cheaters or players that were so damn good they could almost match the cheaters.

In short, people with basic income work less, feel happier, produce less. Nothing too extraordinary.

"The response rate for the survey was 23% (31% for the basic income recipients and 20% for the control group), which is typical for surveys."

At least they should answer the study they were enrolled into :| This shows the recipients have little consideration for the tax-payers.
Nice way to make a buck, now off to fox News!
Would be super awesome if you could share what you find! Having the same issues here - and I have a real time accepting that stuff becomes slow when you wanna return over 1k records. Sometimes way less for advanced things. Read: nested objects. But that slow? Come on.

I also use nestjs and there it seems updates to how to resolve a field has made it tons faster l, purely looking at the trace.

And I know that it won't be as fast as regular old json due to the checking but that slow? Must be something someone can do :)
And why do HR use lidotes like “chat” when most likely they have serious business to discuss. It really irks me.
> I understand your frustration, but it seems clear to me that there is difference in what you consider high level technical skills, and what others might perceive as such.

Or the person who did the interview is an asshole. It's pretty hard to say which one it is. Smoothing out differences such as this one is expected not only from the employee, but also from the interviewer.
I am shocked that there is even a discussion to be had on this.

In architecture (a somewhat older profession, but also concerning things constructed by people), women previously did have a hard time, and often had to practice under their husbands/partners name.

Mercifully this ended some while ago, and now architecture schools and onwards are more evenly gender balanced. Nobody suggests that women are somehow naturally 'less inclined', and the profession is richer for it.

It would be great if engineering could get to this point.
I’m talking AC in the context of large scale deployment in whole regions, not specifically for people with health problems and/or elderly.

Have cultural factors not been ruled out?

Affirmative action policies literally make it easier for one group to get a spot in [insert institution here] than another group. And yet we still see discrepancies. We publicly shame and fire anyone who says "maybe biological differences play a role". And yet we still see discrepancies.

If we haven't ruled out cultural factors in the West at this point, I'm not sure how we can.

By effectively every metric, it is easier for a woman to become an engineer in 2020 than a man. There are many, many programs and initiatives which encourage women to get into STEM from an early age – the same do not really exist for men. Women get into (and graduate from) university at a higher rate. There is more funding available specifically to women that are pursuing STEM And yet still you have more men choosing to be engineers than women.

Is there a mistake in the original code on the right hand side? I get:

card.cpp:16:2: error: ‘g’ was not declared in this scope
16 | <g;p)t=p,n=v(0,0,1),m=1;for(i k=19;k--;)

Edit: Yes there is. The ‘<g;’ seems like it should have been the single character ‘<’, perhaps a corrupted HTML escape.
GEO satellites are pretty much always in the sun, minus couple hours per year when they hit the (very snall at this altitude) Earth shadow.
DI/IoC is just another way of expressing global variables. The global variables exist because of the constraint of class-orientation getting in the way, among other things. Spring exists because of the relative weakness of the Java language. You won't see this kind of technology emerging in more powerful languages.
> A nation can withdraw from a treaty instead of ignoring it

Yes, as far as I can see both the INF and the Outer Space Treaty explicitly include the possibility for a withdrawal (with prior notice).

At least this publicly signals the intent of a nation to do something which would violate the treaty instead of just silently ignoring it.
It does exist, but only for snippets, sections of code, or at best whole individual functions, especially in languages that are concise and expressive (which are most languages that are not Java ;-). But even really good code still needs comments about how things fit together, what to find where, etc., because those things are generally not expressible in programming languages, although a good module system can help a lot with that.

First you write libs, then you get tired of always doing the same scaffolding work, so you build the boilerplates to cover the most common flows - and before you realized you end up with a framework... the resistance is futile
You're right that they both talked about exact words, but you're indexing too highly on it. Just because they used the same words in places doesn't mean they're saying the same thing. Reading again, I don't know why you start with that statement. It really muddies the rest of your comment.

Please take this idea with an open mind. When you arrive a singular purpose to the paper, it may say more about your views than it does about the author's. He didn't have a thesis that stated directly that he meant to "insinuate that women can't be engineers", so you're literally putting words in his mouth.

And the "don't comment" line explicitly said it was in response to statements that are unfounded, NOT statements that disagree.

Putting that all together, you seem to be having an argument with a ghost of your own making.
> But to propose it as an alternative is not helpful in the current political context

Suggesting that we should keep silent about a way of solving the problem, so that other people don't get "ideas", is even less helpful in any context, as you lose your credibility in the eyes of people whom you are trying to convince.

> essentially be cleaning up the pollution of everyone else. Terraforming would require global agreement and adherence to a highly capital-intensive enterprise

That would be true if we were talking about a toxic substance, CO2 is not a pollutant, and there are ways to use it: for instance by terraforming deserts into living ecosystems that would use the extra CO2. And this includes not only deserts like sahara, but also vast areas of ocean devoid of life because of currents not lifting nutrients from the bottom of the sea.

People do not accept to pay costs for "limiting pollution" because they are not convinced that proposed solutions can work with anywhere reasonable cost. And for that we need not to simply talk everyone into accepting unviable solution out of fear, but to propose something that works and provides additional benefits. Terraforming deserts and controlling the weather is one such solution, which gets unfairly dismissed and downvoted.
There's been endless discussion about Damore. In particular podcasts you'd think that the firing of a random engineer at Google ranked alongside 9/11 as a defining event in modern history. If I circulated a memo to my co-workers that not only opposed a new policy from management, but did obvious harm to the expressed intent of that policy, I might be fired. It doesn't matter if the memo I circulated would have gotten a passing grade in a college class. The fact that people use that as an argument tells me that they've never worked a normal job before.

Alaska might end up seasonally uninhabitable -- they have periods of the year where the sun doesn't set, with increased greenhouse gases in the area it could become intensely hot for periods of the year. Combine that with periodic ozone holes that appear over arctic areas and it might be just as nasty as areas we worry over today...

Areas near large bodies of stable fresh water are likely going to be livable for the longest periods as the planet rapidly shifts away from what we humans need.
Is it sexist to say men are on average stronger than women?

My first thought as well. You see liberals invited onto conservative outlets for genuine debates / opinions. Rarely see liberal outlets do the same as guilt by association, causing anyone who's ever been in the same room as an 'alt-right' to be tainted, seem to be rampant.
Microwave rectenna is more efficient than optical PV. Also, microwave is less affected by weather than visible light. As a power source, they also can have much higher capacity factor than PV.

Exactly this.

A senior should know that JavaScript runs single threaded with an event loop, and therefore doing heavy calculations will block your user interactions.

If you don't know this, you also won't know when to use WebWorkers etc.

Juniors can learn, seniors should be the ones teaching them. Seniors should define the architecture of your solution, and solve weird problems. You cannot do this without proper in-depth knowledge.
Maybe, but I think Snowden would have preferred to be pretty much anywhere else while Dammer was just too inexperienced to recognize that being popular in some circles is more of a liability than asset.
Oh great, I sort of knew the military was all in on orbital warfare, but somehow your comment really drives home the idea that USSF truly thinks ASAT warfare is hugely advantageous to them :(

(To be clear, the USA already posses ASAT capability, demonstrated most recently in 2008)

Cheating is so common nowadays simply due to game companies are not willing to pay to make dedicated online games.

A lot of so called online game are just basically client side modified version, how they are doing it would simply shock web devs.
For years I used react without jsx - with a few minor conventions to make it shorter to write elements via JS (`_div(...)` being equivalent to the jsx `<div>{...}</div>`, and some minor variant for elems with attrs) it's quite easy to build trees using plain old JS syntax.

The advantages of doing that were better tooling support, since everything under the sun supported JS, but not necessarily JSX very well, and jsx isn't really all that important anyhow. Obviously that's not a factor anymore today ;-).
There are other types of efficiency than time.

At my supermarket, they replaced 2 regular checkouts with 8 self-checkouts in the same floor space. During rush hour, this greatly increases throughput despite actual scanning time perhaps being slower.

At McDonalds, it means they can higher fewer staff which means a cost efficiency.

In the US, perhaps. If you're going after international customers — the topic which the original article complains about — you'll find that this preference isn't nearly as strong as you think.
No, I was talking market cap. That's the size of some nation-wide retailers (like J.C. Penney).

If you are using vim, you should definitely try using cvim or similar for chrome. You’ll most probably stop using mouse when in browser.

If it’s about tools, I would suggest trying out i3 and emacs. I’ve used vim+tmux for a couple of years. Slowly I’ve migrated to Emacs. Somehow, I like it a little more than vim. I still heavily use tmux.

For tmux, having a startup script with pre configured windows and panes can be helpful as well.

Having a dual monitor setup can also be very productive.

I personally try to avoid using mouse. Most of my hacks are targeted to achieve this.

My take away from this is that the bar may have been lower in 2008 when the headcount was lower than it is now despite the headcount having exploded recently.
You still get the in-depth system design questions and "tech trivia" that requires a review of the spec for whatever language/technology you interview on, but the algo questions are harder now.
Finding the unique set and implementing a binary tree would be "lay up" questions now to most prepared candidates. At the very least those caliber of questions have limited ambiguity and don't require knowledge of any tricks to get optimal solutions.
