> ... it doesn't matter that you have a 7 year experience, you still have to do fucking Leetcode for 2 months if you want to get a new job

Exactly my point -- two weeks of leetcode do not significantly affect the candidate's ability to perform the job, but it has immense influence on how well s/he'll do in the interview
H1B rules are quite ridiculous (or more accurately, cruel). Do people here know that even this 60-day grace window was only put into place relatively recently by the Obama administration?

Before that, you technically had to leave the country the day you were laid off. Never mind that you might have a house a family and might have been living here for more than a decade. You would officially be staying illegally if you didn't leave right away and it would jeopardize your chances of getting a visa in the future.

It's only through an historic odd mix of good pay and relatively laxer immigration rules that the US managed to attract a large pool of talent in the 80s, 90s and 00s. Students from my college who are about 5-10 years junior to me no longer consider it a viable place to plan a long-term career in due to the extreme precariousness of visa holders' life situations in the US.

Politically speaking we have little to no power in numbers so neither politically party really cares. Typically it's the Democrats who are pro-immigration, but in reality they don't care much about H1B style immigration and are in fact likely against it due to American tech unions hating H1Bs, while we have unlikely allies in some Republicans because our presence benefits big companies. Common sense solutions standard across the world (such as skill-based / point-based systems) are looked down upon, while we keep getting kicked around on the political playground.

There are millions of perfectly fine 32-bit ARM boards out there that draw a fraction of the power that a similarly spec'd x86 box would.

It would be a good thing, from the perspective of not wasting energy nor creating more e-waste, for 32-bit ARM boards to be supported for people who own them.
Why not just legalize corruption? No corruption — no problems you mentioned above.

The USPS did do exactly that. Read about how abolitionists attempted to spread anti-slavery literature through the federal postal system in the antebellum era, and how the post office decided it would suppress those mailings for being supposedly insurrectionary.

There’s great alternatives to wechat that are secure by design, rather than spy-by-design, such as telegram or signal.
This one about whether designers are crazy because the OP didn't understand why designers would care about minute details in their work. It is because attention to detail creates superlative work. It is similar to why premature optimization isn't necessarily bad for engineers.

"""

No, designers aren't crazy. You just don't understand a very fundamental concept of design. It even applies to engineering. It's okay—many people have the same frustrations as you do.

But those who care about the details achieve truly high quality results overall. It extends to all areas of the design, not just to the parts you can't see.

In the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," there's a scene in a dark room where Roger Rabbit (an animated character) flies across the room, knocks a hanging lamp around, and the lighting becomes so dynamic that all the shadows move around including the animated character's shadow. Here's the scene in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EUPwsD64GI

This was such a small detail that it would have been forgivable if the animators had left it out entirely: if they had not moved the lamp, kept the shadow steady, no one would have really noticed the difference. It would have been 100 times easier to animate and the effect wouldn't really have been that different.

But they did it anyway. The term was later coined, and "bump the lamp" is used throughout Disney (and probably other organizations) to mean something akin to "go the extra mile"—but I see it as having a special significance to design.

You're right, most people won't notice. By that logic, you could cut corners a lot of other places too. You could be lax about button colors matching exactly, or per-pixel sharpness on the map and buttons. No one would probably notice.

But if you go for every detail like it was the most important detail, you have the possibility of reaching a level of design quality that is superlative, and some people will notice. Others will not notice directly, but will see that the piece exudes style and quality subconsciously, due to the attention to small details. If you carry this into other areas of your work—programming, customer service, market strategy, marketing, and more—then you have a chance to create something of true quality.

If you don't pay attention to detail at that level, well, you might have the chance to actually get something done. Yes, it's a balance, like everything else. But you have to know that it won't be quite as good, and understand that yes, you are sacrificing something, even if you can't see it.

This is the first Go-to-Rust post I've seen! Are there others? This one is especially good too, lots of practical examples with their sublety explained well.
How is this related to the opium wars, western imperialism, or the wechat ban?
A suggestion for the web site: It would be good to mention the license more prominently. I had to click through to Github to find out what it was, and I believe this information would matter to more people than just me.
Mice study... But I'll give it a more thorough read anyway. Thanks.

I still am not convinced from my own experience, replying to another user I mentioned that when eating raw meat there is noticeably less residue, which would indicate more is assimilated.
This article is about WeChat not TikTok...
So I went ahead and allowed myself to ask, "why is it called HATETRIS" and tried it out without reading anything first.

This has been a wonderful rollercoaster, thank you for sharing and pointing this out :D I only played the game for 30 seconds before I could already guess exactly why it's called that!
Agreed. I've noticed that the more someone has to lose by not being open and doing regular work, the less time they think this thing is gonna take.

I spent hours arguing with my commercial landlord about why we closed, and how we can't do business until we have birthday parties, corporate events, etc. His response was "Well, next month, you'll be open next month right?!" I'd say no, then he'd be like, "Well, what about September? October? This will all certainly be over by then!"

These people are arguing with reality. I really am starting to think that Trumpism is the first of a new generation of mental virii that just short circuit the human brain and turn it into mush. Or maybe that's just the greed inherent in the American way. Either way, it sure would have been nice to have some FUCKING LEADERSHIP here.
Could you please provide more information on this?

If this is true it may change my congress and senate votes from blue to red.

I won't vote in a presidential candidate that supports lockdowns "if the science supports it" and will make me wear a mask.

Can his party truly make my state do these things?

If so that's terrifying to me and there's no way I'm giving blue, the people I voted for all my life until this year, this type of power.
Yeah, that seems like a very weak argument.

It might be helpful to understand why China does what it does. It doesn't really excuse it though.
If that was your point I think you didn't state it correctly. Your original comment makes it sound like you think OP undeservedly got a job merely be hacking through a couple weeks of interview prep.
This title is really overblown, its someone complaining about the update mechanism, woop de doo.
Characterizing an auto-update system as a RCE for the product's developers is an absurd exaggeration IMO. Most of the security world seems to consider automatic updates to be a good thing so that actual vulnerabilities get fixed rapidly across the whole install base.

What is the recommended resolution here anyways? An alert for the updates that the user can refuse? I think real-world data suggests that, if there actually was a backdoored update, that would be a terrible way of dealing with it.
Exactly. We are in a new cold war, anybody who is naively supporting or defending chinese interests in America needs to wake up
But that’s what he’s testing - what happens when you sit on a wet seat or kneel on wet ground or have your feet pushed into wet boots. That’s what you need GoreTex for. It’s a stress test. They’re already trivially waterproof when just sitting there that’s obvious so no need to test it.
That's a different argument to the one you are inferring.
Both arguments could benefit from more context.

Free speech concerns is kind of funny. Wechat is used by China to punish dissenters when they aren’t even in the country.
I like learning these types of things. It’s like the “gebo” rune, which is just an “X”, is the rune for giving or gifting.

I'd say he exerts fascist or "fundamental freedom" arguments to match his politics.
Not so simple if the original developer is dead, MIA, or uncooperative.

I think this is a clear deficiency of git and many other VCSs, which fossil avoids. It's clear that bug reports and commits will frequently cross-reference each other, so they should be tracked in the same system. Git only implements one half of the puzzle, leaving the other half up to others which ultimately facilitates vendor lockin.
Your evidence is highly skewed

Vegas is not really “open”. For example when you’re playing cards and having a drink, the mask must stay on except when you sip.
But in this case, the executive has the authority to ban things based on national security.

And if that power isn't properly applied, the courts will intervene.

What "autocracy" are you referring to?
-F is explicitly spelled out. Proof: I can see it. Explicit is the opposite of implicit, and implicit doesn't mean "abbreviated to a single character that is plainly visible".

You don't necessarily know what a long option means without looking it up, just because it is long. Firstly, if your native language isn't English, you may have to look it up in a dictionary. The ordinary meanings you find there may not reveal what that word means in the context of the program. So, at that point you're off to the documentation anyway.

I know what "hard" and "soft" are. Therefore, is it obvious what "git reset --soft" means? Hardly.

Once you know what it means, "--soft" jogs your memory by association a lot better than some "-X". So that would seem like it is less cognitive work. But when we have long options, it encourages the option vocabulary of a program to keep growing, which adds to the cognitive load.
These are all great tips. It is a really well-written article with great advice. I just come away from this with a crushing sense of depression driven by the following thoughts:

I can't believe this is how the country I live in treats people who bring their high-demand skills here. 60 days or get out.

This absolutely effects every engineer. Even the most racist ones: that there is a bedrock of people they are allowed to treat this way puts a hard ceiling on your own compensation.

My grandparents were labor leaders and I'm pretty certain they'd be ashamed I can't or haven't done more to rectify this.

I can't believe this is how interviewing works in this field. Everyone in every other respectable field (and ones that pay as well or better, and have worse consequences for hiring a "bad fit") seems entitled to some baseline level of respect and recognition for their experience and work. Having some smarmy piece of shit ask questions from Jr.-year computer science should be justifiable grounds for a broken nose.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was getting the average person to blame themselves and not corporations for climate change.

The numbers simply don’t add up for a consumer oriented solution to make any sense.
That's called confirmation bias. The people who are living fulfilling and successful lives using meth, cocaine, wine, tea, or marijuana do not advertise it and therefor you have zero information about how many of them there are. Well people do talk about the legal and socially acceptable ones: wine, tea, and increasingly marijuana. So until meth becomes both legal and socially acceptable, your anecdotal data is heavily skewed towards those who crashed.

With that said, meth undoubtedly has a higher potential for abuse and addiction than marijuana and is worse for the health when abused. But evaluating just how much of a difference is near impossible while it remains illegal and while there is an huge and profitable government funded industry around the war on drugs.

Also in Parkersburg, where the resulting long legal battle was portrayed in the movie Dark Waters last year. Another great addition to the genre of "Mark Ruffalo investigative thrillers".
That is an amazing talk. Thanks for sharing. Lanman also seems to indicate that eyetracking is really hard and is still unsolved to the level it would need to be to drive the halfdome 3 prototype. And yes, that bouncing iris totally did give me the willies. It seems that there may eventually be a varifocal HMD with eyetracked fovated rendering, but I'm doubtful it's coming in Oculus Quest 3 or even 4.

Agree with everything. However, this might not be true:

> There's likely not much reason to think that in 2022 the dining habits of consumers will be drastically different than in 2019.

I know plenty of people who basically never learned how to cook and who always ate out or ordered delivery. A lot of them have been forced by present circumstances to finally learn how to cook. They might continue doing so more often going forward rather than returning to pre-pandemic levels of restaurant consumption. I wonder how widespread this will continue to be. I for sure am cooking at home a lot more than I used to, and this won't change till I go back to the office full time (if that ever even happens!).

I think there is a strong case to be made that WeChat is, as a practical matter, a public minister as defined in Article 2. Therefore, the executive has the right to refuse their presence in the US.

All Chinese companies operate under the direction and control of the CCP; we can arrive at the conclusion that a company is a public minister if companies are people, and they act at the behest of their home government.

The on path attacker isn't hosting the website (static or otherwise) on http://cat-jokes.example.co.uk/ indeed with more work the name needn't even "exist" let alone a site.

Let's suppose I'm an on path adversary, you're my victim and example.co.uk are a passive third party.

You have credentials for https://example.co.uk/ stored in Bitwarden with default settings

I inject any URL into any flow that will cause your browser to try to fetch something from http://cat-jokes.example.co.uk/ maybe it's an image URL, or a frame.

But that's an HTTP site, so I can intervene when your browser connects and impersonate as cat-jokes.example.co.uk to ask for Basic auth credentials, Bitwarden cheerfully fills them out automatically with your credentials for the secure site https://example.co.uk/ and sends them plaintext so now I get your credentials.

Nothing looks out of place to you, maybe an image or frame was slow to load, but certainly no alerts, no indication anything weird happened.
An executive in conflict with the courts is an unstable government and an autocratic tending executive.
I don't think this is a useful argument simply because China and America are so massively different in culture, history, geography, language and demographics that there's no way you can say with any certainty that the opium wars caused any particular change.

China has a long history with isolationism or distrust of foreign powers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haijin
This is a great point, we are just a team of 5 for now so this is not an issue, but out of interest how do you manage this - do you have a custom "portal"?

What is relevant is that I am trying to achieve what you mention - I do not want to restrict and ask everyone to document in a single place rather centralise the access.
And what context does those articles add, other than what's already presented?
17 years is much longer than I would have expected. Long term thinking is a good point.
That's a really shallow analysis though. It doesn't consider how many of those people would have survived without a pandemic, and it doesn't count suicides and degraded quality of life costs due to the lockdown rather than the disease.
Yep. A better analogy would be if the US had lost the revolutionary war, and was subjected to a century or more of British mercantilism, which they were only now starting to recover from.

Every response everywhere was half assed, including China.

That is, a lot of stuff didn't make sense, was contradictory, done at the wrong time, later turned out to be wrong, etc. This is part and parcel of putting together an immediate emergency response.

I live in Dublin, Ireland. There was a preemptive anti-vaxer protest here yesterday declaring the virus a hoax.

The key point of difference between places, IMO, is public and political tolerance for these things. Can you live with some policy being dumb, because you're inevitably going to think a lot of them are dumb.
Both motivations are likely present. The argument can be simplified by eliminating motivation, or balanced by listing both.
If you read the Executive Order (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-or...)
you'll see that this is yet another aspect of Trump's overall policy of confronting China's growing influence. You may disagree with that policy but I think it is a mistake to attribute these actions to "ignorance and pettiness".
It might be helpful to make the argument explicitly rather than just link to historical events when people have reached to attempting to infer it.
This.

It's also why there is such a disconnect with respect to the Russian collusion allegations. To those inclined to trust the mainstream media, it is a settled question: of course Trump colluded, and anyone who can't see that is crazy, evil or dumb.

Those who feel misrepresented by the mainstream media, don't see how that allegation isn't just more of the same egregious lying they have experienced first-hand for decades

It is such a wide gap in outlook
Have a significant number of consumers taken out new loans? What percentage of consumers actually benefit, especially if they do not purchase a new home?

>If the Fed is able to expand the monetary supply without inflation, then that is a good thing

Expanding the money supply alone does not seem like the right goal. Suppose the fed decided to expand the money supply by cutting a check to the top 1%. I wouldn't expect to see any inflation in the pricing of general consumer goods since that segment of the population just isn't competing for those goods.
The illegal immigrants going to Europe are not legitimate refugees - they are overwhelmingly male, of working age, and pool funds from their home villages to pay people smugglers thousands of Euros to get them to Western Europe.

There, they absorb as many taxpayer resources as possible, and work menial cash jobs - sending the proceeds back to their homelands to repay the initial 'investment'.

Its basically a huge scam, an unholy alliance between European elites who want cheap labour and European leftists who want to virtue signal. The average European citizen loses out hugely from the undermining of the labour market, the increase in crime, the destruction of national culture and identity, and the lack of investment into European automation and robotics (since illegal labour is so cheap instead).

This is where these migrants in Greece will end up: https://www.dw.com/en/spains-sea-of-plastic-where-europe-get...

It would be simpler to assume direct control over parts of Africa and farm produce there, as well as providing Universal access for local women to education, contraception and abortion. This would encourage actual long-term development of the region and tackle overpopulation (the root cause of these migration outflows).

How long is China going to put on the mantle of victimhood over events 160 years in the past?!

By that standard surely Korea can complain endlessly about China and Yuan Shikai lording it over their kingdom in the 1880s, and the Czechs can cry over their subjugation for centuries by Austria-Hungary, etc. etc.

In 1949 Mao Zedong famously declared "China has stood up." Apparently though he meant, "We're such a weak people that we cry to mommy everytime others demand reciprocity."
