I would recommend recording yourself speaking.

I'm currently between roles (COVID layoffs), and I got feedback on my webcam interview demeanor and speaking style.

My approach for this was to practice my answers to common interview questions out loud while recording myself with Photobooth and then watching the recordings.

There are a couple of dimensions in which I've found this helpful:

* Sheer number of reps. These help me get more comfortable with telling my career story up until this point, and I've found that my comfort has a direct impact on my interviewer's comfort
* I spot tics and habits that I wouldn't have otherwise. I noticed that I had a tendency to start my answers with "so, uhhh...". In some cases simply realizing the presence of a tic/habit was enough to get rid of it
* The recordings reduce the channels from 2 (output + input) to just 1: this helps me analyze what I'm saying and how I'm saying it without having to also think about what I'm going to say
* Recordings also provide a historic record that I can look back on and see improvement, which helps keep me motivated when the job hunt gets me sad

As a note, if you're anything like me you'll probably hate the sound of your voice. The thing that clicked for me was realizing that this is just the voice that everybody else hears and my friends & family love, and so there's nothing to be ashamed of
You literally quoted their assertion and then responded "No".
He is thinking about the root cause, but it's at a higher level. We don't have to change people's minds about conspiracies if they are never exposed to those false conspiracies in the first place. This also applies to other corrupting influences like hate and bigotry.

Very few people are actively seeking to become radicalized into some fringe movement. It instead happens more passively or through active recruitment by another member. Negative content is normalized when it appears on a platform intertwined with mainstream content. People stop viewing it as fringe and it becomes easier for people to be passively radicalized or recruited. When that content is only available on sites dedicated to that content, people aren't going to stumble upon it without recognizing what it truly is. There are plenty of stories about people being accidentally radicalized by what they see on Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, etc. You aren't going to accidentally be radicalized by visiting Storm Front.

Knowing I have to get up, that I'm likely to be disturbed early, or that I'm needed at a particular time in the morning makes falling asleep really hard. That and I find it a lot easier if I'm on my own with no-one in my space or interrupting me or chatting or asking for stuff or anything as I'm winding down and relaxing in the ~1hr before sleep. And that's before you throw in any extra actual life stress on top of fairly-normal things like having to be up at a certain time or having a partner.

... so yeah, as a married guy with kids and a job, falling asleep is hell basically every night.
They could have documented an API, which you could call directly. Many services which offer an SDK also offer a raw API which allows you to implement more advanced use cases, or can be used for platforms without SDK support. Or, if you simply don't want to use the SDK.

I don't think people were watching streaming video on 3g, especially not with the data caps of the time. The improvement from 2g to 3g (in my experience at least) was literally just being able to load web pages without waiting minutes for it to finish (which is a huge improvement of course).
> It doesn’t even report local network flows and traffic statistics correctly.

For this _specific_ thing, I know why that is: when it comes to pure switching there's an ASIC that the OS can't read the memory of.

How it works is that the OS will compile down a vlan/port configuration and then pass it to the ASIC, after that the ASIC basically works autonomously and can't introspect packets in flight.

I discovered this for myself when I was trying to do some basic packet capture using one of their edgerouter-X's (which run linux). -- Ended up needing to use a laptop with a bridged network because it was impossible. :(
Yes, this is true because wiring the house is annoying and people often don't realize how much it can help, and because there are other delays. But the big Internet companies have found that lowering latency will increase engagement. Lower latency should change how well video chat works even if people don't quite realize why it's better.

That religions are just mind-parasites has become a meme on its own. To me, the book "Darwin's Cathedral" made a very good case that we should look at religions as adaptations that allowed creating larger societies. And so I finally came to peace with religion.

The electrical power of the entire USA could be supplied by a PV station much smaller than Nevada. In the desert southwest you can average 6 kW-h/day/m^2 over a full year. Nation consumes approximately 4.2 PW-h/year. Therefore you need about 2 billion square meters of PV panels (2E9 x 6E3 x 365.25 =~ 4.4E15). That's an area of only 45 km per side (45000 x 45000 > 2E9). Nevada is about 500km wide and has an area of almost 300 billion square meters. So you'd need about 1% of Nevada to power the whole country.
I think it’s primarily for people copying and pasting something like an error message, which may have user-specific data in quotes.

"Sorry, our algorithms have detected that you were about to spread misinformation. Please contact support to reactivate your account. Premium support is available to subscribers of our membership programme"

I'm actually only half joking: while some local library code surely cannot tell truth from lies, that problem remains just as unsolved for arbitrary amounts of central effort. There's a reason truth ministries are a Bad Idea.

> Limiting speech is by definition censorship.

Preventing speech is censorship.

But discouraging the spreading of a message at each spreader, for example by letting the spreader know the message is tagged as misleading by some large number of people before they spread it further is not censorship.

That may limit the rate, intensity, and real-world effect of some kinds of information, without fundamentally limiting the right to free speech.

The Jewel Voice Broadcast should not be read uncritically.
Remember a frame at 144hz is still 7ms - assuming everything else in your pipeline doesn't add up to much, 1-2ms added from the network should be fine for a good VR experience as long as it's 99.99...% stable. If the latency is constantly changing (as it tends to do with wireless networks) it's going to be much more noticeable.

I wonder if you've ever had to deal with managing or employing people. From my experience there are just some people who think they were born for greatness and your job is beneath them, and they'll half-ass it, abuse sick/flex time, and do as little as possible at work, never realizing that they can't be born for greatness if they can't even manage to do their current job. And they will definitely claim to be victims of this, that, and the other when called out, no matter how badly they've screwed their co-workers or employer.

One of the greatest draws of a guaranteed minimum income is to get the lying slackers out of the job market. Maybe they'll get bored watching Netflix and find something useful to be productive at, maybe not, but they suck to work with and employ, making everyone less productive who has to deal with their crap.

Great article. It's worth considering the Japanese reaction to the bomb - people thought it was cluster munitions or other conventional explosives leading to them taking sub-optimal follow-on steps. While the physicists figured it out, it was not obvious at the time to many people who experienced it firsthand what happened.

I am skeptical that quotes really work like the plus operator used to work.

For example, try searching the following string in quotes: "the SERP should stay the same".

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22the%20SERP%20should%20sta...

Now, the logical presumption, assuming Google works as people say it does, is that each result will contain that exact string. If no results contain the string, then you should receive no results.

However, for me, results are returned. Did each of the results from that search contain this exact string? For me, they did not.
The Eisenhower quote is from 1963. He was not a general in the pacific theater, and was not involved in postwar Japan.

IMO, his quote should be read as that of a politician (which he was, at that point, having served two terms as president), rather than that of a military general.

It was not so cut and dry, as his words imply.

I feel like I ought to defend the honor of my school's theoreticians. :-)

Their CS program had two theory-heavy courses. In the harder of the two, the homework worked out to 10 pages/week of proofs written in LaTeX. Honors students could also take a functional programming course early on, where they usually got to write a metacircular evaluator.

The same CS program also had a software engineering course that required a 5-student team to spend half a term building a group project. (Teams were picked by the professor, for that real-world feel.) This usually required a UI, which meant that we got to learn Motif or web programming or something.

This has always seemed like a sensible way to organize a CS curriculum: Everyone needs to write proofs, and everyone needs to write code. Then you can throw in kernels or networking as electives.
Did you express you experiences in a blog post or something? I'd be curious about living in Hungary. Visited Budapest last year - seemed to be a great city!
Your point is true for some, but I dispute 'all values of x'.

Post-pandemic, yes, some items from that page are going to return to pre-pandemic numbers, I'm sure - hangover, restaurant, ticket, etc.

But for people who've discovered that stuff they grow at home - from herbs on the balcony to tomatoes in the yard - taste much better, are unlikely to just forget that.

Similarly people discovering this year that they enjoy the process and flavours of cooking or baking bread are also unlikely to forget it all.

Ditto people who pay more attention to their health and work environment - dumbbell, standing desk.

Google search terms are likely to reach stasis, of course, as people who want this knowledge now have it, but that doesn't mean there won't be a shift in people's behaviours and activities.

How long does it take to get an entry level programming job?
I'm getting let go from my sales job that I've been at for a few months. I took it up as a challenge because my previous job in financial analysis felt too cyclical and boring. Ultimately I wasn't a great fit for sales and I think something more analytical would be a better fit. My biggest concern is how much time I'm going to spend out of the job market before getting back in (I turn 25 in a month). How long would it take to sharpen my skills enough to be hireable? Am I too old for this?

> It's my understanding that the Motorola 68000 still has some outstanding emulation problems (related to the instruction cache), due to using HMOS logic.

This doesn't sound right to me. For one thing, the idea that you need to simulate analog effects in order to properly emulate an instruction cache sort of flies in the face of my (admittedly amateur) understanding of reasonable chip design. For another, that'd imply that the CMOS versions of the 68K function differently than the HMOS ones, and I can't find any indication of that. Finally, as far as I know the 68000 doesn't have an instruction cache!

If you learned you were paid %30 less than everyone else at your level, wouldn't you go for a renegotiation with your manager or go back to the labor market? Would you internalize that difference as "I guess the company knows my worth exactly and I deserve it"? If you knew the average price for your level as a candidate, wouldn't you use that knowledge in your next negotiations? I mean, I thought this was common sense, self-explanatory game theory. You are claiming the knowledge of the competing price points to have zero value in price setting, and it is a strong claim that requires matching evidence.

Your personal sample is hardly representative because we are trying to establish existence of transparently priced positions that are not low-skilled. From the top of my head, if you have access to paper version of 'The Economist', you will see plenty of such ads. Granted, this might be my availability bias, but definitely there is no hard rule of concealed pricing for highly skilled jobs.
