15 Puzzle with Threejs - Sliding Puzzle
>Just hire people with experience to begin with.

Everyone tries. That's why you see entry level positions with 2-3 years experience requirements and entry level pay. Of course, these stay empty for years since nobody bites!

To get someone with experience in a reasonable amount of time takes money. Also, keep in mind that the engineers with 2 years of experience might be looking for an other job because of performance issues at their current one. Those who are learning fast and getting promoted aren't looking around.

>the bigger issue is the credential is not preparing graduates properly

The most important skill is really how fast someone can learn. I've always said it's harder to learn CS fundamentals than the tools and practical aspect of software. Someone who is comfortable with graphs and trees should be able to figure out git pretty fast. Someone who rote learned git commands and knows one workflow might not be able to figure out graphs that easily.

>This is interesting. I hadn't thought about it in these terms.

It's actually worse than that. With internships some engineers are off the market a few years before they even graduate. And then accept a full time offer with a 4 years vesting schedule that makes it incredibly hard to poach them.
This is something I've wanted to build and finally put some time into actually building this.
Employees were publicly advocating for boycotts and performing strikes at the time.

EDIT: why did you assume it was a decision made solely by leadership and that employees or other stakeholders did not have a publicly held opinion?

This was fairly normal at Microsoft for years. Even the first .net framework (rotor) used Perl as a build system and worked on Unix systems.
I'm happy about it.

For me, one shortcoming of gitter is that it has always been tertiary in my pool of chat services. The more tertiary services are accessible through matrix the better, that way I'm less likely to miss notifications.

I don't think there are big downsides, I can't think of anything in the core gitter chat that I would miss when switching to matrix.
People get bent out of shape when sites hijack their back button, but I dislike when they hijack my scrollbar and make me scroll through animations.
I see this too and is very frustrating in modern Web learning.

It might take 8 files and 15 dependencies to make one example work. Only 3 files are partially provided. 5 dependencies are deprecated or no longer supported.

The informative websites aren't designed to help you learn, they are designed to help the helper: get views, get cred, get employed, get ad revenue, get an ego boost.
I tried Paramiko firstly. But it turns out it’s much easier with asyncssh. Then I tried to implement with scp because it’s user friendly, just “scp ca-server:ops.pub ~/.ssh/id_ed25519-cert.pub”. I want to hook the “scp” request and generate the cert file dynamically. But there are some bugs now so I switch to ssh.
Don't you mean black-box reimplementations? White box would mean they have access to and use the source code. Black box means they don't.
Is anyone really Surprised by this? If you want security then you dont use Windows. Windows subsystem for linux is a joke. Just install linux like everyone else

"...a ton of kids would be excited as hell..." works just as well

And a ton of kids are excited. We went several times Technik Museum Sinsheim and once to Speyer and our daughter (4-5 at the time) loved peeking around in the planes.

Here is why I consider success:

- shop can stay open normally

- kids can go to school normally

- not being forced to wear mask

- low (very subjective, I know) death number
> If an insurer could see the future, he would give me a policy that costs (cost of my future accidents + X% profit)/(my lifetime)

But what happens when (cost of my future accidents) is very high? Are you as an individual just uninsurable? Is that the best outcome?

Distribution of cumulative healthcare costs maybe looks something like a lognormal distribution. Most people fall into a "normal" range but then there are outliers who can cost far, far more. But even though their individual costs are high, their absolute numbers are low compared to the total pool. So everyone can pay something like a normal expected cost, plus a small fraction, plus the profit overhead, and thereby cover those outliers.

Large employers will negotiate pooled coverage like this for their employees. That's why the 21-year-old with zero health issues pays the same as the 60-year-old with dialysis. But, it's the fact that this is essentially a monopoly market on those employees that allows this. They can create a single pool because there's no alternative market. (At least functionally, because the costs of those external market players don't get the employer subsidizing the plan.)

Without that monopoly and subsidy, market forces come into play. For those people who have a high likelihood of lower costs, if an insurer can create a pool targeting people with those same signals, then they can offer that pool lower rates and capture business. However, that necessitates that the remaining pools become more expensive. This is a classic race to the bottom, but with the added complexity of a zero-sum game.

Your stated position is the logical end-game of this direction. But it's not the only functional solution. One could also switch instead to a single pool over the entire population -- aka, single payer.
I agree with your point: Some are choosing to drive for Uber/Lift because they don't have any better alternative. Where I disagree is the solution.

If you raise the price of cigarettes, people buy fewer cigarettes. If you raise the price of gasoline, people buy less gasoline. If you raise the price of labor, people (both companies and individuals) buy less labor. If the price of Uber/Lyft increases, the number of rides will decrease. That means that drivers will be forced to work fewer hours or to find another job. But if (as you say) this is the only alternative they have to homelessness, then they'll become homeless.
Sometimes that's a feature. At least with VirtualBox I have made the experience that NAT virtual networking leads to significant slowdown on a linux guest compared to bridging one of the host's ethernet adapters. I suspect that's due to windows' firewall software or similar things happening in the host system. It also means one less hop to debug when it comes to network issues.

I think the question is whether you consider a VM more like another machine in your network that merely happens to run on the same hardware or a part of the host system.
Insurance should pool random risks but it's not meant to pool all risk. You know your pool of 100 people all have 5% chance of a heart attacks. You don't know who will actually have a heart attack, that risk is pooled. But you don't pool people with a 1% or a 20% chance of a heart attack the same if you can avoid it.

He means the goal posts moved from "flattening the curve" to "save every last life". Maybe the goal shouldn't be to save every last life but to strike a better balance between living our lives freely and containing COVID to some extent.

It used to be that airlines (and hotels and rental car agencies) paid enough in commissions that travel agencies made good money booking flights.

Southwest Airlines, for example, has never paid commissions.

As sites like Expedia grew, many (all?) other airlines and hotels have reduced and reduced their commissions.

For some people, there's still value in saying "I want to take a trip to x" and let the travel agent work out the details. But the travel agencies now charge a fee to the customer because they get comparatively little from the businesses.

The benefit isn't warm fuzzies - it's interoperability: with other components, tools, the browser and devtools, other developers.

If you build an app with web components, even if you're using one specific helper library to do it, it makes it possible, easy even, to incrementally migrate to other libraries. You can migrate top-down, bottom-up, or even middle-out to other helper libraries and have a continuously working app. You can import and use another web component built with another library without being constrained to just the framework you chose.

You can even build an app with all web components, later decide you really don't like them and want to use only a framework and still easily incrementally migrate top down and not break the app.

This makes web components the much safer choice for large and long lived projects, and more flexible for projects of all sizes.
It's sad to see the sexism in the need to preemptively back her up.
> That is a value we hold, but there is nothing "factual" about it, so this is an example of diluting the word "fact" to mean other things.

This is true - this is a value, not a fact. It is a value however that underpins our legal system and therefore our society. The idea that we assign moral agency and total responsbility for action to capable adult individuals who take those actions.

> The statistic is used to explain and place blame upon black Americans for their own deaths at the hands of law enforcement

That's not what any resonalbe interpretation of what I wrote reads. To elaborate, we can assume that 1/E police encouters (E) will result in a death. Much like we can assume 1/P medical procedures (P) will result in a death. People are people and everyone makes mistakes at work. When your work deals with peoples lives those mistakes cost them. I don't see a way to avoid E or P existing. If we are trying to determine if E is biased against black people, we can see if E is significantly different between races. Turns out it's not. In fact You are slightly more likely to be killed as a white person in a police encouter than as a black person.

It's an entirely separate issue from racism if we are suggesting that E (or P) is too low. But the data clearly demonstrates it's not racially biased.

Now the only remaining question is why black people are significantly more likely to experience a police encouter than white people. What we find is that black people tend to live in more criminal and therefore more heavily policed areas than white people. Do you think that police should not pay more attention to more criminal neighbourhoods? Where is the racism?

> You will go so far to say that black communities are more violent, but you shy away from saying why you think that is. You will cite a statistic that makes them sound guilty without acknowledging the factors that lead to it being true.

I don't specualte as to why because I don't know and I assume the answer is very complicated. I prefer to pay attention to folks like Thomas Sowell who have dedicated their careers to answering these questions. I found a good starting point here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5csE8q9mho
Better yet just install linux and if you need windows, use it in a locked down VM
Sure, that's your stance and I won't attempt to change your mind. I just needed to clarify that you are requesting taking actions that will result in the deportation of a large number of immigrants currently residing in the US.

It was important to me that that caveat was applied to

> The mainstream "anti-immigration" position is about curtailing future immigration, rather than removing current immigrants.

So that it is clear that removing current immigrants resident in the US under dual-intent visas is part of the mainstream position.
Fine, by "citizens" read "citizens and permanent residents". If you know of a better term that encapsulates who would be eligible to receive UBI, please provide it.
The integration with Google search and Nest devices looks so awesome. An easy to access platform independent watchlist is quite convenient.

I am surprised that they gave a button to Netflix as well on the remote. Though it does make sense considering YT and Netflix is what I use mostly on even Fire TV when not watching sports.
Oh yeah, it's a problem: both of Intel's big recent process holdups (cobalt wires, contact over active gate) almost certainly happened because thermal cycling caused more problems than expected from pre-production tests.

A bit off topic, but this sort of transparency is why I don't mind paying $6 / mo for a vpn when mullvad's competitors are much cheaper. Their wireguard support is great, and their speeds are much faster than what I got through openVpn on pia.

Thank you for your compassionate comment. It always helps me to think about these things in writing. I can see a lot of merit in your ideas.
Totally depends on the form of the "politics at work". If we're talking about in-depth dialectic aimed at learning and problem solving then I'm all in.

Some other forms that I'd be happy to eliminate:

* Virtue signalling via preaching the doctrine of the party predominant at the company

* Bob from IT talking endlessly about his pet theory of Soros conspiracies

* Portraying politically grey areas as completely black-and-white and deplatforming those that disagree

After reading The Toxoplasma of Rage[1] I can't help but regard the vast majority of current politics with a great deal of cynicism.

It might be fine if it is just for delay, then you run into problem of portability to the system with different instruction cycle times.

Not saying it is bad, but technical debt is high from several angles.
They are trying to model mask wearing as good behavior by making sure they are seen on camera wearing a mask.

They are social distanced around the podium & outside so they don't need to wait to take it off until on camera, but they want folks to see them wearing it. Yes its theatrics bc it isn't strictly necessary to wait, they're doing it for political purposes - to increase compliance w/ mask wearing.
If you have frequent flyer miles then consider cashing them out now. I used all of mine to buy Home Depot gift cards. I expect that many airlines will end up bankrupt again so miles may end up worthless.
> There's often a fair bit of 'tude, where I am looked at with condescension, for not knowing something "obvious."

This is a huge red flag for systems design to me. Whenever and whereever I've seen this abundance of assumed implicit knowledge instead of documented or introspectable configuration, the systems have invariably been excessively difficult and/or time-consuming to troubleshoot once in operations. This is overlooked and hand-waved away when the system is the new shiny, but once it becomes productionalized "legacy", it becomes a huge headache to leadership that appears to them as constant instability sucking up everyone's time on fire fighting instead of innovating more new shiny.

Here's to hoping better dependency management like from the Nix folks makes it into the mainstream platforms.
It took me about that amount of time of actual study to be able to "lex" spoken Cantonese into phonemes. It's a weird experience that happened nearly overnight -- it went from "incomprehensible wall of sound" to "stream of sounds, with clear start/stops" very quickly.

IIRC the early language acquisition literature supports the idea that exposing a child to the sounds of a language (even without any actual instruction or even requiring the child to pay particular attention to the person speaking) is enough to make it much easier for them to understand and produce that language later in life.
And again, it's a false notion to think that those are two separate things. You can't, to use example that I hope is obvious, support making your work environment welcoming to everyone regardless of sexual orientation, while also refusing to oppose or even discuss a political movement or politician who would throw people in jail for having a certain sexual orientation.
All opinions are my own

It depends on who you're selling to; it seems like you might be doing more enterprise/b2b sales?

Starting in the early aughts I transitioned from being solely technical to having been a key stakeholder (either as a Solution Consultant equivalent, Account Manager, Product Manager) in selling millions in professional services and saas offerings in enterprise b2b sales. I've also created products that lead to and millions in direct to consumer sales. (I get that this isn't a LOT compared to some folks, but I've been exposed to the problem space for a while.)

If I had to start all over again, I would start with the Value Selling Framework. While I've mostly aligned to this any time I've sold things they get a few key things right that make it so much simpler to sell once you understand how you provide value to your customer. It also addresses identifying key stakeholders and ensuring you're talking to the right people.

If you're selling direct to consumers with no conversations to allow for problem/needs discovery, you can still use this. You'll know what you need to do to address the value your offering provides and common objections in your sales collateral.

Finally, if you are selling to businesses, it's important to understand your customers BUYING process. Certain level of expenses require different levels of signoff, so you can get more business sometimes just by lowering your prices a few dollars because it doesn't require a more arduous approval process. Certain features in your product may make the buying process take much longer. Understanding this at the outset can be key to sales success.

Good luck!

You've probably answered this before elsewhere (so feel free to answer by adding a link), but for macOS users what's the most up-to-date comparison to Sidecar? I believe that Sidecar can't be used as the only display, whereas Luna Display can (e.g., for a headless Mac Mini, you won't be able to start Sidecar). As someone who's thought about using it for a headless Mac Mini, are there other advantages over Sidecar?

(And it would be nice to confirm that you'd recommend using Luna Display as the only display for a headless Mac Mini too.)

Not all people are created equal...

The less certain people censor themselves. And the more other kinds of people censor themselves. There seems to be widespread colloquial agreement that those who don't censor themselves are usually more extreme in their views, more confident in their truthiness, and often more mistaken about basic verifiable facts.

This is very much a question of signal-to-noise ratio.
Precisely. You don't have to respect anyone for anything. There is no requirement anywhere. As a free person, you can choose to disrespect people even if they do things society considers commendable. You can even express this disrespect. This is fundamental to the freedom of this society.

People in general are looking at outcomes in countries and states (selectively) and interpreting them through lenses that correspond to their policy preferences and their feelings about the governments in general.

The Atlantic [1] has an interesting article on the role of super-spreaders. It possibly suggests a particular contact tracing approach but it also suggests that, especially early on, there was probably a great deal of randomness in how events unfolded in a particular place. I can't speak to the medicine but it has certainly seemed as if a lot of outcomes have been pretty random. (With some exceptions like nursing home deaths that were just bad policies.)
