>In the past I've taken to pushing people to take notes and write things down to keep their thinking in order.

At analyst events, a former IBM exec who ran one of their major business units would always write on index cards during Q&A. Assuming he was actually writing something, it is a way to avoid the awkward "What was the second part of your question again?" But it also gives you some time to get your thoughts in order,

My understanding is that there are 15+ papers that formalize and prove soundness of various aspects of the DOT type system, but that the "full" type system implemented in Dotty today is still unsound. Hopefully this situation will improve in the future.
Facebook Employees Say Apple Fight Is “Self Serving”
Complete and total BS. I am sick of people trying to accuse big tech for all the woes of the world. I see it too much ion the media, and, surprisingly, here on HN.

Big tech is NOT a monopoly. You, the user, are not their customer, and thus you (as a citizen) cannot claim antitrust or wrongdoing. Still don't like Facebook and Google? Then delete your FB profile and use duck duck go. [1]

You know what industries are becoming monopolies? These:

* Financial services [2]

* Media [3]

* Telecom and ISPs [4]

* Airlines [5]

* and others I can't remember at the moment

IMO, the negative consequences of those industries merging together are far more material than FB. You can quit FB, you can't quit your checking account or your ISP. [6]

Corporate media and their proxy boot-lickers (looking at you, Matt Stoller) have you fetishizing about big tech (for the page views, again looking your way, Stoller) so you are too distracted when ATT acquires Time Warner under your nose, and now you get watch crappier programming (how about that last season of Game of Thrones?) on a crappier internet connection (from ATT), all for the same price, while ATT cuts costs with "synergy" (vomit) and the stock price goes up.

Stoller makes a weak attempt at highlighting my point:

> As Steven Perlstein noted in the Washington Post, this effort is more than just an attack on Google and Facebook, but a “legal shot across the bow of dominant firms in other highly concentrated industries — pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, financial services — who are now on notice that their nonstop acquisitions and hardball business practices could invite similar challenge.”

Yeah...too late.

It doesn't, but also their changelogs aren't seen by people who browse Linux changelogs. You'd look at https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/releases (which also contains a few bug fixes) if you're interested in zfs. Btrfs has quite a few more accidental readers.
I disagree that it is overkill.

You have to think about it like this: the average skill level of engineers at a large company will always move to the true average across all engineers outside the company. This means they have engineers that don't know what they're doing, and there's not much they can do to prevent it. The average "security" skill level is very very low, and even people who are good at it make huge mistakes constantly.

If you accept that, then it makes sense to spend time and money on preventing people who don't know what they're doing from hurting everyone else. It is therefore essential that mitigations like this are applied, even though if everyone did their job perfectly, they would not be necessary.

If you get to later stages you can ask for feedback. Some give it some don’t. I had some really positive experiences with that, usually with smaller companies. Worst case you just get ghosted (hi datadog, dropbox).
As an OS nerd, I find this very interesting. Thanks for posting it.
> Generally, when one says average, they mean average.

“Average” is an ambiguous term. The mode, median, and the various (harmonic, geometric, arithmetic) means are all averages.

In income statistics specifically, the usual average referenced is the median of the appropriate measure.

In context-neutral informal conversation, the arithmetic mean is the most common average.

If you want to be clear, its a good idea to avoid “average” and use the specific term for a measure.
I've worked in both embedded and in the Windows file system stack.

What's unsaid in this article is that your ability to break noisily varies a lot based on what the end user's expectations are and how much of the device you own.

If you're building a single-purpose embedded device, sure, you can probably halt and catch fire if its use-case allows doing so safely. This might involve making sure the outside world is safely brought to a halt, but that might be feasible if you're building a device that works on a production line.

On the other hand, you almost certainly don't want to bugcheck some random big corporate file server that might be doing goodness knows what else to get a crash dump. At least not without the blessing of the client.

Like so many other things in engineering, how to handle errors depends greatly on the use case, the users, and the maintainers (which might or might not overlap with the users). You can't baldly claim that one approach or another is best without understanding those.
Yes that's fair. I did the upgrade from the 750 Ti and skipped the 1050 Ti for the same reason.

In Flix, Datalog constraints are first-class values. This is strictly more powerful than a macro system. For example, the Datalog programs that are constructed can depend on input values to the program. This is not the case for macros which are expanded compile-time. (Unless you have some kind of reflection in mind...)

EDIT: I hope to explore a macro system for Flix in the future. So we are definitely on the same side of the issue; just wanted to point out that the current system is more powerful.

Nothing is "100% bombproof".

They probably don't want to clog up their articles of association with detailed limitations which might not be needed and which might get in the way of doing useful things in tune with their original purpose. Keeping the association true to its original purpose is really up to people and culture, not legal terms. I'm pretty sure lawyers (which I am not) would advise to keep details out unless they really need to be there, too many detailed rules can just add to legal uncertainty (doubts over exactly what they mean) and risk (lawsuits if someone thinks you've violated them, or if they were accidentally violated due to oversight or difficulty in understanding them, etc).

My grandmother's computer is an old Debian box with nothing more than `ly` (as a DM), xfce, Chicago95, and Firefox. She loves it, though I made a ton of tweaks here and there to make it easier for her to use (specifically a ton of website launchers on her desktop). She got lost in regards to how to use her computer back in the XP>8 transition so it was great to be able to bring her back to that style of desktop and have the system be easier to fix than Windows 8 or 10.

That was the first design I considered. The "distribute the state through the system" thing is the hard part.

(There's no possibility in our system of routing customer traffic outside of WireGuard, because our entire connectivity fabric is WireGuard; nothing but WireGuard, for instance, would know what to do with an fdaa address, or, for that matter, how to reach an instance's IPv4 addresses.)

We can filter and drop packets at ingress/egress with this design as well.

The most important interview skill, however, is being able to effectively communicate and present that wisdom, because otherwise the interviewer will not know you have it.

That is a skill a lot of developers practice way too little. It's also a skillset that is increasingly valuable if you want a promotion.

It's interesting how so many of the responses here assume that the skills people should keep sharp are narrow technical skills. I'd expect a developer to keep their technical skills sharp as part of their day to day job. That's not the most important reason to practice interviewing; the most important reason is to know how to sell those skills.

I know lots of techies dislike having to know to sell themselves, but the reality is that hiring managers can't read minds, so selling your skillset is part of the job, but one you don't use very often in many jobs.

How did you know, as a graduate student no less, that research money spent on high energy research was low yield compared to the biological sciences? I think that's a pretty bold and naive statement to make.

For example, research on quantum-mechanical light-matter interaction was considered not very practically relevant in the 80s and 90s. In the 2000s the results were picked up by the superconducting qubit research community and used to great effect to build a viable approach to quantum computing.

The outcome of research is inherently hard to predict, and telling people that their field of study is "low yield" because it's not the hot topic of the day seems quite naive and arrogant to me.
It was a 0-day at that point. Right now it is a 90-day.

Unless there is some reason I don't know of, this seems useless, a waste of processing cycles, and potentially irritating to the user.

a lot of work was also outsourced. that led to global upward class mobility. it was win win because young professionals in india and vietnam and eastern europe were able to climb the salary/wealth ladder while american companies also made profits.

millions of jobs were created globally that did indeed have a role in erasing poverty in many countries. the wealth re-distribution was global. at the same time, noone became poorer in the united states and corporates flourished. to me, it is all win-win.

we forget that bay area was responsible for global change. it isnt just about california or america. silicon valley made the whole world a better place on average in the past two recent decades. this cannot be disputed.
These are all good points, however just because this is a system that's only used in emergencies does not mean that this should be overlooked.

This article is interesting in context. You're trying to select tests to run. Instead of using educated guesses about parameters (combinatorial interaction designs), you're going to look at the system under test. You could generate lots of tests and see what worked by looking at coverage of those tests (line coverage or mutation coverage). Instead, you'll analyze the code with symbolic execution and make choices. Klee seems like best-in-class for symbolic execution. A more popular alternative these days is concolic execution, which combines concrete execution with symbolic constraint solving. That's in Pex and Intellisense.

> I've rejected people for showing negative non-technical traits

I'm not an expert, but this can be a really slippery slope to implicit bias creeping in to your hiring decisions, especially if these traits are outside of your area of interview/expertise.
What I believe is that rebase creates entirely new and untested code states, that have zero guarantees of working or building, and that can in fact quite easily be entirely invalid.
Kind of related to the advice in the blog post, there are a couple things you can do (from an open-minded, kind, curious-and-hoping-to-learn approach and way of phrasing your questions).

- In an interview, if you feel it could have gone better, you can ask your interviewer about better solutions. I have literally done this in interviews that led to an offer - when they get to the point where you ask questions, one of yours can be "I don't feel like I got to a great solution here, can you explain what an efficient solutions would look like, or point me to a reference where I can read up on this"?

- You can ask your recruiter for feedback, or just suggestions for general areas that you can improve. More likely than not, they won't respond or will tell you the policy is not to share anything, but you've already lost out on this job, and one polite inquiry is not going to put a black mark on your record at this company.
Well I do hate him, and have utter contempt for his supporters for betraying conservatism and the movement I love, but I still think you’re right. Scrupulous honesty and fair dealing even in the face of the most outrageous behaviour is the right course.

There can be no backsliding on principles, especially in the face of unprincipled behaviour. None. It doesn’t matter what the provocation. The purpose of the provocation is precisely to trick people into compromising so the opponent can say “see, they’re the same, what we’re doing is fine because everybody does it”. No everybody doesn’t do it and it’s not fine, and anybody caught doing stuff like this deserves to suffer the consequences, whatever their motives.

Note that while Photopea is free to use, it is neither open source, nor source available. It’s free to use (free as in beer) proprietary software.

I recently had a technical interview where I stumbled the whole way through, but I kept my attitude lighthearted, asked plenty of dumb questions, and am pretty sure I even said "Oh, geez, I'm an idiot" at one point. They acknowledged that I was a weak candidate, but they liked me enough to extend an offer amounting to a 33% salary increase over my current job--and with an additional 33% bump after 6 months if I can prove that I am actually not so much of an idiot. :)

Yes, if you get hired for a job with the title software engineer, you are one. There are no education requirements for this. Same with any other title in tech. The distinction between developer and engineer doesn't really exist - engineer just sounds a bit fancier so some people prefer it over developer.
Let’s be honest - toxic here just means “people are accessing content that doesn’t agree with my personal politics”. This word doesn’t have meaning anymore, like “fascism”.

Im not totally convinced that eth2 will provide lower gas fee's.. It's just a hunch, but it could be like how building more high way lanes just causes more traffic, so they never really alleviate congestion.

With that said, some of the l2 on ethereum is quite promising. I personally like xDai, though it is still in beta it has quite a few projects on top of it, I might use it for a few idea's I have as well. https://www.xdaichain.com/

zkRollups are also super promising. These guys look promising: https://zksync.io/

This would limit your options, though.
I have had opposite experiences. Many of my interviews were straight evaluations on technical ability, many of which I failed.

Amazon in particular, I had told the interviewer that my day-to-day was in C#, but they continued to ask rigorous javascript questions, of which I could explain most of the answer, but failed to find the very specific javascript answer they were looking for. As a result, I was blocked by Amazon from any further interviews for one year. (And at the time, incredibly disheartening in my job search...)
Another thing I found quite common in these people who can easily get a lot of great offers is that they keep writing things down, so that they never forget what they have learnt. A blog for digestions and summarizations is very usefully and can help a lot.
If you had asked Erwin Schrödinger how his wave equation could be commercialized he'd probably wouldn't have had any idea either. 100 years later it's the basis for most of our advanced computer technology. I predict the same thing will happen with the standard model, it's just that we can't see the applications yet because we're not technologically advanced enough.
