List all 5-letter words that remain words after replacing a b with o. How can we solve these efficiently?

Put them in a set(), then iterate over its members and report any that contain b and are still in the set after the string replacement. O(n), which can't be beaten.

This is super important. I think a lot of people would understand this better if they experienced burn out.

I used to spend a lot of time working. Then over time that just started destroying me. I got let go from my job and while I had noticed this a bit, particularly on vacations, I had no idea how to "not work."

My stress level was through the roof and I had no outlets for anything.

2020 has been the year of me trying to create a life outside of work. Kind of a weird ass year to try it but despite 2020 being 2020, I've rediscovered my love of reading, really started learning music theory, and a bunch of smaller things.

I should be able to go into 2021 a lot better as a person and feel my life is "better" in a lot of ways that it was previously pretty poor. I still don't think my life is amazing or great or anything, but baby steps.

A big change in mindset to accomplish a lot of this is that my job exists to plan for the future (planning for retirement has been a big deal this year), it pays for me to have fun (enjoy the now), and it pays for me to pay my bills to live. My job is not my life, it's a means to an end. I show up, I do my job, and I leave at the end of the day and I don't think about work until I come back in the next morning.
This sort of thing is one reason you might want to tax revenues over profits.

Compare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_accounting , in which all movies show a formal loss and the concept of "profit" as opposed to revenue exists only to scam parties who agree to be paid out of profits.
Hexadecimal definitely saves space if you compare it to binary-coded decimal. You might think that obviously nobody would ever use BCD because it wastes so much space, but lots of people used it anyway.
Unless you're on MacOS, in which case it's -i''. I always have to rewrite cross platform scripts at least once.
I think the real space saver is not necessarily "hexadecimal system" per se but the "bitmapped graphics" technique that they seem to be referring to. Nowadays, graphics information doesn't tend to be packed in bitmaps, either manually or otherwise. It's pretty inconvenient for processing to have everything bitmapped (compositing, collision detection, etc.) and they probably wouldn't do it if it weren't for the space savings
Freedom for me, but not for thee.
Again, though, this is only forcing them to understand how their network has always worked rather than changing the situation. If the vendor chooses to bypass the local DNS, you won’t know about it no matter whether DoH exists.

Steel isn't a relevant metric these days. Almost all developed countries can make as much as they need. China needs and produces more because they have to catch up.

> Does Europe do that well in pharmaceuticals? It looks to me like the US is leading in biomedical research publications.

I doubt Tesla really cares all that much. The link says Texans can easily buy Teslas from Tesla, but they have to complete the paperwork before the car ships to Texas. It seems like a very minor inconvenience compared to dealing with the various California regulations and bureaucrats.
Also, I would say the whole concept of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succinct_data_structure is fundamentally new. (And looking at citations, they are not yet 35 years old.)
Isn't the actual listed location of residence more a formality for a billionaire like Musk? I presume he'll still rent residences in LA and the Bay Area considering he'll be back and forth for business related to Tesla and SpaceX.

This seems like he's renting a place in Texas and making a big deal out of 'moving there' to make a point about California's regulatory environment.
Thanks for posting this! Although citing the "80/20" rule is somewhat ubiquitous in engineering and moreover project management circles, Pareto is still much underrated, imho.
“Virtue signaling”

Being a good person? No one needs to tell you anything again, you got it right the first time.
Thanks fjfaase for reading the piece and for that insight. It reminds me of points made in that article "What is Software Design" by Reeves.

Would be delighted to talk to you further about this and get more of your perspective, if you're open to it. Can I send you an email? I see it on your personal page.

It's not a conspiracy. There's active litigation heading to the Supreme Court this week to address this. There's nearly 1000 signed witness affidavits attesting to this. There's video evidence backing it up.

I looked for, and didn't see, "SSD" in this article (let alone "NVMe"). Maybe because it's from 2015? But at any rate, I'm not sure the logic applies there. High performance SSDs remain much more expensive, so losing major capacity is a much costlier issue, and simultaneously they rebuild vastly faster. I thought about this when making a pool out of U.2 NVMe drives, and with rebuild times measured in minutes and given the cost/GB I think RAIDZ2 (or even Z1) vdevs are plenty sufficient for most use cases.

By the same token, what does the backup system and unique pool data lifetime look like? If someone is using a very fast/smaller/expensive pool as a local working space, but it's constantly being replicated to a much more heavily redundant pool of spinning rust in turn backing up sufficiently fast to remote, it may be perfectly acceptable to have minimal redundancy (I still like being able to heal from corruption) in the working pool. If the whole thing going kaput only means losing a few minutes of data it's totally reasonable to consider how much money that's actually worth.

I guess a lot of the blanket advice for ZFS rubs me the wrong way. It's offers a very powerful toolbox full of options that are genuinely great in different circumstances, and there aren't many footguns (dedup being the biggest one that immediately comes to mind) that are hard to reason about. It's a shame if users aren't considering there own budgets, needs, hardware, and so on and taking advantage of it to get the most out of them.
This. All of our Teslas were bought online, and we showed up at the gallery or service center only to take delivery ("here's your [fob|rfid key] and we'll auth the vehicle in your Tesla account").

Carvana has a similar model for used vehicles, and they are very successful with the demo they cater to (buy online or in app, with a test drive period after purchase if you want to return the vehicle). People hate the traditional dealer sales experience apparently (half tongue in cheek, it's terrible, it really is).
Isn’t the backup solution to always get two of whatever you build? A primary raid backed up to a second pool?
That’s because it’s large; on a per capita basis that’s not true.
I think the answer is: This is the best the richest and best companies in the world, with their best paid 100x rockstar developers can do. Google is literally both the creator of the browser (Chrome), the framework (Angular) and the web-app (GCP) we use and still, this mess is the best they can give us. They have direct access to the creators of Chrome and Angular, in some sense they are the owners of the internet and the owners of the way we access the internet.

And yet, that's the best they can do. It's just that hard and impossible to get it right. Sorry guys!

I am unconvinced that "first-principles thinking" is the problem here. Surely one can refute the original argument without having to debunk axiomatic logic itself.

For example, one could argue something like this: Even though increased access to other people's money can cause founders to make irresponsible decisions, raising money has other advantages that tend to offset this.
Western countries were the first colonialists? Britain may have industrialised 'first', but its first-mover advantage was more down to sitting on comparably huge coal reserves than anything else.

Elsewise, the Chinese dominance of the global tea trade didn't last much longer after the first tea plants were smuggled out and the Indian tea trade started up.

I'm not sure I am underestimating head starts here. All it would take is for one other country to open up to one monied and eager corporation and poof, first mover advantage, gone.

There's a lot of public documentation available that describes how those systems work. Even on Cellebrite's own website: For example on https://www.cellebrite.com/en/blog/android-acquisition-simpl... and https://www.cellebrite.com/en/blog/iphone-extractions-5-ques....

There are definitely some workarounds for encryption available. For example, it appears that even for some newer phones Cellebrite supports an approach of brute-forcing the PIN without locking the phone due to too many retries. But those workarounds don't seem to be the primary benefit / use-case of Cellebrite: It seems that in lots of cases people surrender their passwords when asked and the main benefit of Cellebrite is in extracting and presenting information from a phone once it's unlocked.

Once unlocked data from iPhones is relatively easy to extract with a local backup. Android is much more limited in terms of which data is available as backup and the common approach appears to be to use ADB for extraction. Either by downgrading an application or by automated screen-scraping of the data (or by using exploits on outdated Android versions). For WhatsApp it appears that the "downgrade" approach might be used, which downgrades to an earlier version that makes extraction easier. That's the same approach that's also used by consumer backup tools such as Wondershare Dr.Fone.

Regarding the more complicated approach to extract data from Android: Starting with Android 11 and API level 30 Android is starting to ignore the allowBackup manifest attribute, thereby allowing to locally extract data from applications via ADB even if the applications don't allow that (source: https://www.xda-developers.com/android-11-force-app-local-ba...). While definitely a benefit for users, I wonder if another motivation for that change was to simplify data extraction for law enforcement.
SV, Hollywood, the Aerospace-Defense Industry. All of it by purposeful accident.

I feel like some in tech want to take responsibility, somehow that American's are just better tech-bros than anyone else. It was mostly chance.

Call it what it is, a gift. And take care of it, they only get made by luck.
A composite count metric that smooths play count for larger tunes vs more plays for shorter tunes would solve most of that.

E.g. 10 plays of Ramones 2.5 minute songs == 10 unit's worth == 2 plays of an hour-long ambient piece.

The equivalency could be adjustable to something that most accept as fair.

Yeah, but they might not need the income from the few who cannot get vaccination for medical and not mental reasons. And rather focus on the paying majority.

Which would be somewhat discriminating against those people. But if the vaccination works as promised (95%), it should allow some nonvaccinated people without problems?
Managers are structurally disincented to help underperformers because they serve a more effective role as a scapegoat. Stack ranking culture has created a system in which every team must have at least one person who can be justifiably allocated to the lower end of the bell curve.

During review season, every manager's worst nightmare is to not have any evidence that they can label someone a low performer. Once one is identified, it's in the manager's interest to keep them in that low performer state for as long as possible. This makes it easier to reward high performers when raises and promotions are zero sum within a team. It also signals to upper management how keenly they can assess talent. In short, having an underperformer on the team is a wonderful asset for a manager.

This policy is wicked and wrong. There are no other words for this policy. YouTube is deciding what of true and enforcing its perspective on the rest of the population.

And you know it won't stop here. From now on, every time a controversy emerges between the media-tech-academia elite view of the world and the views of regular people, tech will use hard censorship to enforce the elite perspective. There is no natural stopping point or limiting principle.

It is not the place of a few Bay Area policy people to decide for the whole world what is true and what is false. They are not God. Nobody voted for them. They have no power except the brute force of a natural monopoly's market share. Infrastructure companies must be part of the neutral background of technological society, not enforcers of a specific worldview.
The problem is the "regular open discussion", which has turned into a cesspool of fact-free ranting, and has created serious societal virality and negative impact.

You can rant against the mainstream media, but at least there is a modicum of fact checking and research there -- how many independent YouTube sources do the same?

Maybe it can't be visualized (but I doubt it-I'm sure it can), but I don't think it must be. The goal of Brett's arguments is how to teach students to learn programming, not making every programming problem ever visual.

Once a person learns how to think about programming problems, they become better at creating their own mental models and visualizations. And maybe someday they'll figure out how to create visualizations of these complex things you and I can't yet :)
What is with this article, or is it me? Caption 'BDD' then some examples leading to 'how can we solve this efficiently' great, now I expect something about BDD but I get 'Families and ZDD' with an extremely short explanation what ZDDs are. Then references. Then the statement BDDs are better than ZDDs. Then end.

I mean, are there like 2 or 3 pages missing?
Yes, it is true that making it easier to work with others via technology is a noble pursuit, but it’s critical to consider how to achieve these outputs sustainably.

Yeah, the side that says the election was stolen is what? 1:50 for wins/losses? Weird how all the claims that are so strong magically don't appear in the actual suits where there are real consequences for lying.

The supreme court is going to drop this case, like every other venue has. Stacking the court at the last minute with a conservative judge isn't going to magically save this losing case.

Have you seen these witnesses? Have you seen their testimony? Have you seen the lawsuits that were submitted with typos on the first page? (EDIT: first line! [1])

This entire thing is a grift and a sham that will thankfully come to an end within a week.

I agree with you. My point here was exactly that is not how a bazaar model functions. Hence the use of "in this regard."
This article conveniently leaves the fact that he'll pay millions more in taxes in California due to TX not having any income tax until the very end. Also, his two biggest current projects (Giga Texas and Starship) are currently in Texas. This makes a lot of sense from a business standpoint and will just continue the flight from California.

I suspect that once they have the Giga Texas built and delivering vehicles that TX lawmakers will quickly change their tune since TX is the biggest market in the US for trucks.

> the consensus seems to be that Intel tried to pile up too many new improvements, which backfired. TSMC took a more incremental and safe approach

Can you point to some industry literature that explains this?

If this is true, it is a lot more surprising that Intel is talking about going fabless. You build a lot of expertise by rolling the dice on new techniques that don't pan out on the first iteration. People wouldn't be so pessimistic about Boeing if they had just been overly aggressive in a new airframe design, rather than failing to safely mount new engines on an old design.

I think the big-picture answer is that they held a "Latency Code Yellow" back in ca. 2007, and apparently stopped inculcating the same latency-sensitivity in people hired since that finished a year or so later.
Having lived in both (and being a citizen of neither): quality of life. Your headline salary in the Us is higher but disposable income is often lower. You spend more time managing your life in the USA with less time left to live it.

Some people enjoy that of course. I do find the working environment better in the US, and I enjoy my work, but on most other parameters it’s inferior.
I guess the difference between 2016 and 2020 outcomes is that democrats at least didn't create any ruckus during the power transfer from Obama to Trump .
Plus, since the Democrats did it , the Republicans have a right to create a bigger ruckus is not justified.
Also the Russian interference was more about social media influence rather than raising questions on election or voter integrity.
A lot of Trump supporters are openly coming out with arms these days , hence propagating rigged election claims is or so more dangerous.
This is an enormous overreach.

> Given that, we will start removing any piece of content uploaded today (or anytime after) that misleads people by alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, in line with our approach towards historical U.S. Presidential elections. For example, we will remove videos claiming that a Presidential candidate won the election due to widespread software glitches or counting errors.

These same claims are being made in ongoing court cases. It's far out of Google's ambit to claim to resolve "the truth" at this juncture.

Its also deeply hypocritical to claim that this is "in line with [Google's] approach towards historical U.S. Presidential elections. It took me 2 seconds to find videos claiming that the "GOP hacked/stole the 2004 election.": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=batAXTWBjMo

Tesla is building a factory in Texas. What does the law mean whenever the car itself was made in the state? Does it need to leave the state and then re-enter? Serious question.
