If french is one of your language, state of the art has been Druide's Antidote for more than 20 years. And it has had a Linux version available for almost 15 years, too.
So robots.txt has no meaning?
Yes, I've worked at places where that was the approach. Problem is if you end up doing it very often it costs you a lot of time and you do have to eat some inital payroll and administrative costs. Plus out of respect for the candidate, they've quit their prior job, maybe moved and signed a new lease, and now they are unemployed 30 or 60 days later.

You really need to have some basis for confidence that the candidate is a good fit before you put yourself and them through that. Even for entry level jobs where what they know coming in isn't too important, you want smart people who can get along with the team and learn.
Unacceptable to her. Fine, she is entitled to that opinion. She is not entitled to everybody sharing that opinion. If there is no common ground, the involved parties should part ways. Which she expressed. And the other side followed through. Which she now is upset about.

If she really wanted to achieve change within the system she'd have needed to not express it this way. There are people on both sides of the table. One can talk to people and find common ground. But that is rare to work if you start with a threat.

"Looking from America, it's hard not to be frustrated at Europeans on their high horses talking about class versus racial divide."

That is the Internet - Americans commenting on Europe, Europeans on Islam, Muslims on Israel, Israelis on India, Indians on China etc. The distance may make you wrong, but it also may make you notice more general outlines of the forest you are commenting upon, while the locals see only individual trees.

Theoretically, complex societies should be able to fix multiple problems at once. In practice, it is very easy for one topic to exhaust ALL the oxygen in public debate.

2020 was all about race and other immutable characteristics in America. Among all that, class problems such as enormous healthcare bills that destroy lives every day, are basically forgotten.

Of course that there are many facets of bigotry out there. But: would you rather be a black upper middle class than a white unemployed person without good marketable skills?

These days, I would say that the answer is very different from the KKK days.
yes it does. the market clearly wants higher res screens, that's why "Retina Display" has been a major marketing point for Apple for years, and you literally haven't been able to buy a Macbook with a 1080p screen for years. This is not even for tech enthusiasts or professional uses, it's basic tablestakes in the market now.
This article focuses a lot on _good_ of web-scraping but I don't think we even need to go that far.

Fight against web-scrapers just seems like a complete logical oxymoron: they want data to be public but also select who gets to see it. Our whole web infrastructure are based around clearly distinct public/private exchanges - there's no middleground this and yet people create these absurd hacks like captchas and fingerprints to fight the nature of the internet.

Finally everyone wants benefits of public data (search engine indexing etc) but don't really want to give anything back to the ecosystem. It's just pure greed and law, our society and government shouldn't aid it in any way, shape or form.
> rather AMD use the die space for a faster CPU

They don't have to use die space for it. CPU cores are in a separate die already. They can easily slap a Vega 3 IC (which they already have the designs for) alongside the 12nm I/O die.

> release cheap (sub $100) and low power graphics cards with multiple display outputs.

The problem is they're not doing that, either.

Last time they released a "low" end GPU was 5 years ago with RX 550. And it wasn't actually low-end, price-wise (It had $80-100 MSRP and never got cheaper thanks to crypto miners)

Not saying that it's desirable or that's not horrible, but isn't that the default mode? Or at least that's the world I've lived in, if you are an employee, in the end your opinions don't actually count, you are just a cog. Your position in the hierarchy is what matter.

And that's why at some point you need labor unions (not saying high paid tech workers needs them) and at some other point you start considering stop being an employee.

vimwiki's diary function does that for you under the hood.

There is a multibillion dollar secondary market for private shares. It is ignored because it undermines this pitch.

That market is fragmented and disorganised and inefficient. But it’s deep, cross border and growing. Issuers write their own transfer policies which range from nope to fully permissive. The former aren’t interested in something like this because they aren’t focussed on shareholder liquidity. The latter don’t gain anything from forcing shareholders to only do business through Carta. (If they do want to do all that work, they can just do a tender. It is cheaper. And has no lock-in.)

This is a product in search of a problem.

Disclosure: I work in the private markets.
I would argue it is you who are falling for black-and-white thinking that all trust is bad and that currency should be trustless.
Intel went through a phase where they managed to break their graphics and network drivers at the same time.

I thought whether my hardware was failing but, when they broke three different NICs with the same update, I understood what happened.

Hope they don't do it again. I'm not going to use their processors in my next build but, I tend to like their NICs.

> Slow and sustainable growth may increase short-term survival chances, but guarantees that you lose in the long-term.

I'm arguing the exact opposite: that slow and sustainable growth is exactly how you maximize long-term success.

And there are very, very few markets that are truly "winner-take-all". They only seem that way because everybody's doing the exact thing against which I'm warning: trying to emulate and catch up to already-big players instead of carving out their niche and playing the long game.

> If Instagram or AirBnb didn't plan for rapid scalability, and focused on short-term sustainability instead, they'd almost certainly be footnotes.

Statistically speaking, they'd almost certainly have been footnotes anyway. That's the nature of startups that pursue VC-powered hypergrowth: you're counting on a heck of a lot of luck.

(And not that I'd be complaining much if those companies were footnotes, either; AirBnb in particular has done a great job of exacerbating housing crises around the world, and Instagram - like most social networks - seems to rely entirely on throwing every dark pattern imaginable at its users, even before Facebook bought it. Good riddance to the both of 'em.)
And let's not forget that in most(all?) of the other 1st world countries you are lucky if you make one tenth of that base salary. It's easy to forget. Very easy.
Hello anon589, no, it is the only right thing to do. Proper KYC is a thing that only works at scale, just like fraud prevention. Without access to amounts of data much larger than what any single company (even a larger one) sees you are simply going to learn all of the available lessons the hard way. KYC and UBO tracing are specialist jobs that a smaller entity will not be able to do even remotely as good as a larger one, especially not if that larger one has access to many other parties just like yours.

I don't think it's a strong sign of complacency. I think people just don't do toy problems involve coding breadth first searches or determining bipartite graphs. How often to people really write dynamic programming algos in 45 minutes. They don't - they think and tinker.

Algorithms can be beautiful to code but most of the time is not spent on this sort of thing. It's fixing null pointer exceptions or parsing json requests or whatever javascript front end engineers do.

You definitely have to prepare.
Right. Obviously Coinbase frames it that way, but you could also view it the opposite way; the requirements of concern affect VASPs (exchanges, custodians, and so on), so sending between self-hosted wallets between individuals carries no such requirement.

The EU is drafting similar regulation. Main motivator being to comply with the new FATF "travel rule", and sprinkle in some more control when you have the occasion.

The one thing I'm really hoping does not happen would be that vendors accepting digital assets for payments (say, e-commerce site offering BTC or DAI as payment method) would be fall under such requirements.

Other than that, it could serve as a driving force towards more decentralized solutions, where no companies that could be held liable exist.
My view (inside of a banks innovation lab) a lot of people are stuck in their ways. You ask them "Why do you do that" and their general reply is "I was taught to do this" or "My boss asks my to send it via email". I think changing user behaviour is hard but you need to change all stakeholders in the user journey not just the direct user.

SICP is probably one of the only ones worth reading.

Others are just implementations of abstract ideas about how things belong and communicate.
That's pretty jaded IMHO. I would think most management wants positive change, not just to be shielded from criticism.

But reasonable people can disagree about what the status quo is, how good or bad that status quo is, what counts as positive change, what timescale positive change needs to happen at, and what costs/tradeoffs they are willing to accept to accomplish positive change.
For the past few months I’ve been taking markdown notes which are then transformed into HTML and pushed to an s3 bucket for public viewing. Probably not the best solution within this thread but it costs approximately nothing is a great way to get access to a web-based version of your notes anywhere.

This allows you to throw extra features in the HTML like searching for files and randomly selecting a note for viewing at your leisure.
"the notion that steppe people are inherently austere"

They are not inherently austere, but the very fact that they tend to move around limits how much they can own and carry with them. Plus, by living far inland, it is harder to reach them using ships, which were by far the most efficient transport means until the advent of railways.

Until railways, wealth made by long distance trade tended to concentrate in major seaports or in cities on important rivers that could be easily supplied by water (Vienna, Paris, Prague).

First time I hear about a pangolin-Covid connection too. As far as the animal angle of the Covid goes the only thing that I can think of, with effort, is the mink, because of Dutch culling them in bulk in recent weeks. Nothing else.

Edit - looked it up. Ah, so that's about the Chinese market trading exotic wild animals that was the ground zero of the outbreak. Never remembered that it had pangolins in the mix and I doubt that very many people do.

Forcing a single venue for an issuer doesn’t solve that. If anything, it isolates that issuer’s securities thereby furthering the fragmentation—it’s a gift for anyone in a position to arbitrage.

Not OP, but it's very hard to intercept and monitor the traffic of an app that uses code signing, obfuscation and certificate pinning properly.

What used to be a five minute "put tcpdump on the access point / router to work" job pre-HTTPS everywhere now is a many days worth job of messing around - out of reach for all but the really dedicated, and as a result it is very hard for an user to have actual visibility over where their data flows.
One way to work images in text-only notes is to bake in the path names to the image files on your local drive rather than paste an image into the note. If I'm in terminal I can copy that text with the path, hit cmd n "open" cmd v enter and view the image with the system viewer (preview in this case). If I'm looking at the text file in textedit on mac os, I can actually do this from the right click menu under services after highlighting the path name. Could be a good solution if you are tired of onenote's bloat.
We recently spent a long time filling a position. We're a relatively small team, where it is paramount that one works well with the rest of the team.

That doesn't mean you got to fit some tight social profile, far from it.

But since we're a small team each person has a lot of responsibility, and so we need to trust the right decisions are made for the right reasons, that communication won't be an issue, that you can handle dealing with customers for projects and troubleshooting etc.

We don't need the best skilled coders. We need developers who're good at finding solutions to our customers problems, within the constraints of us being a small team with limited resources (time most of all). We need someone who's capable of learning new technologies as the needs arise, and we need someone who can communicate well within the team and with our customers.

When I got hired, my actual coding skill wasn't really a topic. I didn't get a single programming quiz or similar question. They were far more interested in my background, what sort of projects I had been working on, what motivated me etc.
I have never implemented sort after the second university compsci course. I might still be able to write one if I think about it a bit, but just not relevant at all.
If you just want to fix typos then it seems to me that Damerau-Levenshtein distance would be the best approach - a DL distance of 1 from a dictionary word is a high likelihood of a transposition or a missing or extra character.
Still, that's just a parser, right? An entire Python installation can fit in that space - parser, interpreter, stdlib and package manager. (and I'm sure many others too, python is just what I'm familiar with)
Try not to be an asshole. The Stripe founders are probably the most ethical players in the payment space and if you make claims like the ones above you should at least provide some examples or evidence.

I've worked in and for PSPs for many years, if everybody in that space had the business ethics that the Stripe founders had that part of the domain would have a much better name than it does.

For some background on why I believe this is the case read up on Paypal, CCBill, IBill and many others besides.
Pretty much every IDE now assumes wide screen and default to a layout with a central editor and navigation/tools sidebars on the sides. And it actually works out great!

I don't think a majority of linux enthusiasts codes mainly in vim or emacs anymore.
Not scaleable MVP concept at all. No way to reach critical MaaS.

Yeah, I too expected a software company.
I'd even expect that we only know the tip of the iceberg. You don't leave employment that you are otherwise happy with over such a thing.

There were clearly conflicts brewing below the lid. This was just taken as the final straw. On both sides, I'd reasonably expect. She was dissatisfied with a bunch of things that she couldn't makr public, so she boiled over on this one. That's why many people are surprised this is such a big deal.

And then she gave a ultimatum, which was great for both sides. For the employer since they could use it to get rid of her right away and make it look it's because of this (and "technically" they are right). And for her because she can use it for maximum outrage. It was a calculated provocation. Come on, if you really want to be part of a process of change, that's not how to achieve that. She is smart enough to understand this.
Yeah, sadly this is true. Inertia is a much bigger motivator than merit for many. I still struggle accepting that as a life philosophy.
I mean - desktop processor sales an insanely strong, AMD can't make enough.

At which point you’ll have to do leetcode problems in the interview you got via the referral.

Former colleagues in most cases can just get you out of the application lottery - that’s it.

This is less true in PMish roles where there really isn’t a technical leetcode style interview or at the exec level where the friend is the hiring manager or ultimate decider.

In most cases though? Leetcode still gets you the job.

Yeah IMO they should have hired a different SFX studio to make the bull.
I create "notes" directory on my desktop at work, and each day I start a new text file named $DATE_$JIRATASKNO_$DECRIPTION.txt

Whenever I copy-paste stuff that might be useful I leave it there. Stuff like stacktraces, class:line_number when I was searching where something happens, links to webpages related to the task.

I was keeping a notepad tab open at all times anyway to keep context when I was doing something (otherwise I forget when I'm back from lunch and have to search again). So this is only making this context permanent and searcheable.

Then when I do something 3 months later and get a stacktrace I vaguely remember or other problem that I can imagine what the keyword would be - I just grep in that directory and find all the context needed, including jira task, commits, all related webpages, etc.

I also write short free-text notes there, but these are usually very short and less important than the copy-pasted stuff.
Whether or not the endianness is in your favor, an optimized implementation could still use wide integer comparisons to tear through the bulk of the data quickly. On mismatch, simply fall back to byte-wise to determine the correct ordering.

On a tangent, strcmp seems like it would be difficult to optimize since the length isn't known until the trailing null is found. Does anyone know how it's typically done?

I do wish laptop manufacturers would start making a “no speakers” edition.

The only times I’ve used laptop speakers the last many years were by accident and unintentional. They’re something that I’ve never for several laptops I’ve owned, and just add space, cost and IMHO, bloat.

I’m sure many people who use laptops mostly for work will agree here. Especially if you only use it around other people.

- yes, you totally can. The best thing is that with a 1k.entry level you can start working on real-life projects that have deadlines and start earning money that will let you upgrade your gear to the level you actually need, without having to buy an entire new machine. The old components can serve as spare parts or to build a second node. You don't waste a single penny on things you don't need.

Even though, it's true, you can't brag with friends that it absorbs only 20 watts full load and the heat of the aluminium body is actually pleasant
