I know Google says they are all about the algorithm, but I'm convinced they are relying heavy on manual review farms. Of course admitting it would damage their brand, and disincentivize people from coding "to their algorithm". But I'm pretty sure a manual reviewer thought "yep, spam site" and penalized it.

One other thing, the landing page is basically a search engine / portal. In my experience, google also hits everything in this category. (I built a small search engine for a specific vertical in the past - no longer online - and it too showed strange search behavior after a while.) Maybe replace the landing page with a blog / magazine like feed?

> With real names

Most people reviewing CVs don't need to see the real names. It'd be great to have a CV service that could render the CV either with or with out them.

Also, maybe I'm the only one, but I'm starting to experience a bit of 'mindfulness' fatigue. Seems like it's mindlessly being added to everything regardless of whether it makes any sense or not, so I dislike 'Mindful professional profiles' as a subhead.

Isn't the instruction in fact to limit resuscitation efforts to in field? To take it to an extreme, if someone collapses and has a heart attack near a hospital, by this instruction they would have to revive the person (get a pulse/breathing) before transporting them to a hospital.

It sounds very different to what normal procedure would be. I am assuming that usually they try to get the pulse back but that they can continue to do that while in the ambulance (at least that's how it works in the movies). This change would limit that.

I had a difficult time understanding your comment - could you try expressing it another way?
> Signal is pretty indistinguishable from WhatsApp, FB Messenger, even the default SMS app. What about the UX specifically bothers you?

That's part of the problem, all those you listed have poor to terrible UX and are just not great chat clients, Telegram is just better - in terms of speed ( compared to FB Messenger), features such as location sharing("where are you?", "Next to Restaurant XX " or "On the corner of A and B street" sucks, you can just share precise location via Telegram - a friend even sent me the location of a beautiful lake while on vacation because i was going in the area soon after), polls ( great for groups), message editing, search, stickers, gif integration, bots. I've used FB Messenger and Whatsapp extensively and Telegram is absolutely much better than both of them.
One hundred years ago there were many things that did not have any real explanation -- classical physics was not "stuck" and was not "explaining everything fine". Our understanding of something as common as metals and insulators depends heavily on quantum mechanics. That's not even counting things like spectral lines, the stability of atoms, etc, etc that were unexplained in 19th century physics, and explicitly known at the time to be at odds with classical physics.

While worldviews can be overturned and paradigms can be shifted, it is (significantly) harder than it was before. We simply know more now, and have a better understanding of our limits. So whatever new framework that has to supercede our current framework has more ground to cover than it did even in the recent past. This is exacerbated by the fact that in physics in that most everything outside the early universe and black holes (which aren't easily accessible experimentally) seems to conform to our current framework -- there is both more to fit in and less data to work with.
Which provider are you using? I use mobifone and constantly have to buy data packages for 10K as 1.5GB only lasts me ~0.7 days. 2GB/day would be the sweetspot.
No, I think the requirement is that a reference to the actual string buffer must be kept valid when the string is moved. And that property breaks with SSO data, which is not placed in the dynamically allocated buffer - it is placed directly in the object struct (it's an optimization after all), which can't be moved.

EDIT: seems I was wrong, and SSO is allowed for std::string. A similar optimization is illegal for std::vector, though, for the reasons I gave above.

Is there any nuance to that policy? What if someone dies between the call and the ambulance arriving? What if the person making the call doesn't have the experience to know when someone is beyond saving?

On the face of it, it appears to penalise those who can't afford to get it wrong which feels morally bankrupt.
I find the article great. His only mistake is to think that chess is a balanced game. White has clearly an advantage and in a long amount of random games, like he did propose, see a 50% winrate for black.
I feel like there's a quote from "Princess Bride" in there but I guess now is not the time.
> regional locale detection and user choice to make fake names

Presumably you're talking about locale detection of the hiring company/reviewer rather than locale detection of the CV submitter.

I really like the idea, although practically it's probably not a good one in small companies where people are likely to actually work with the person whose CV they're reviewing.

I would say stick to placeholders that are obviously placeholders in order to avoid confusion. And obviously there are some people who do need to see the real names, so give them a clear deanonymise step.

I've tested a few of these, even setup multiple VPSs to do load testing at distributed scale, but it's expensive and hard to orchestrate and tests take a lot of time to setup. Plus, we don't test often enough for it to make sense...

> china lied about the numbers BIG TIME

I'm sure they lied, but by how much could they have realistically lied? Their death numbers could 10x higher than reported and they'd still be 4x better than the US per-capita. Could they cover up 10x the bodies that have been reported? I'm highly skeptical.

As robotresearcher says in a parallel comment chain, FAST mode was without the screen running. Normally the ZX81 only did anything during the vertical blanking, most of the time it was drawing the screen. If you enabled FAST mode then it could go ten times quicker or more.

Sure the ZX81 sold internationally but it was so much more successful in the home market than overseas.
From what I've read, its a hospital infrastructure problem, not a material shortage problem. The pipes that deliver oxygen to the machines can't deliver oxygen any faster because they're freezing up from the amount of oxygen being used.

Blanket stating that users don't understand is pretty dismissive and frankly quite patronising. I'm a big privacy advocate, so I don't personally like volunteering location info, but personally know lots of people who will happily do so for all sorts of reasons (e.g. seeing each other on snapchat maps), they understand what they're doing. Simple fact is, plenty of people just _don't care_ and that is their right to do so.
China's lockdowns sure helped, but if this BBC article and study it cites (from china's own CDC) is correct, than we have to reckon with the fact that hardcore militarized quarantines still don't solve this problem the way that we would like...

The article is not a treatise on how aliens might investigate chess though. That's just a symbolic example to illustrate the idea that you could have a simple model with good predictive power that is somehow less correct than a complicated model with worse predictive power.

Must say as a Duck Duck Go user I can't recall ever seeing Pinterest in my image search results. Just saying ;)
It sure must be a nice feature - for fast results. Counterpoint, though. I barely used Rust, but when I wanted to play with the Xi editor I got to see the bad places that buying into such an ecosystem can get you to - places formerly pioneered by NPM. I had to download 100s of packages, (IIRC?) there were some build problems, all for something where I don't really see the value of noteworthy dependencies.

If you really need a Btree (like, if you want to make a fair benchmark for a presentation) then you'll absolutely find a reasonable implementation in C. After all, why would you need dependency management for something that should have 0 dependencies?

As an example of library data structures implemented in C - if you want, check out my Red-black tree (not a Btree): https://github.com/jstimpfle/rb3ptr/blob/master/rb3ptr.h .
It's really easy to integrate into your project. I think the API (found in rb3ptr.h) is totally usable, and it might also be faster than what you can get with safe Rust - unless you can easily use intrinsically linked data structures in safe Rust.
This is awesome. Just today I took siacoin address and wrote a checksum in Javascript. Your code is clean and pretty easy to follow. I don't have great exposure(goland) but I would like to hang out with sia team.
> Gentoo developer Michał Górny first suggested [dropping support for LibreSSL] at the end of December, saying that LibreSSL offers no benefit over OpenSSL at this point while imposing a lot of costs. In particular, he complained about the large number of packages that require patches to work with LibreSSL and the constant stream of regressions that the project must deal with.

That about sums it up. The LibreSSL developers decided not to maintain even source compatibility, let alone binary compatibility. If application authors don't want the maintenance burden of supporting extra code paths for both, and distribution maintainers aren't happy keeping patchsets up to date, then that's about it.

And it sounds like OpenSSL is in much much better shape (both the code and the community around it) than when LibreSSL forked. This is a good thing! It means all the concern raised after Heartbleed actually functioned as intended, and turned OpenSSL into a healthy project.

I think it's also a good thing that LibreSSL continues to exist and that it is used in some of the BSDs. Having competing, well-maintained implementations is great, even if they're not drop-in replacements for each other. If OpenSSL falls into disrepair again, it means that an alternative is already available, even if there are switching costs.
Right, it's my understanding that the situation described in the article can exist for SWEs as well. It matches what was described to me from a SWE at a subsidiary of Alphabet. In their words they were doing the same work at a fraction of the pay without an avenue for conversion since they were engaged through a 3rd party.
Apple's solution to this seems pretty good, here's a snippet of the transcript from a WWDC 2020 talk:

> It might be tempting to think that reduced accuracy locations are simply your true location with some noise added in.

> But that is not the case. Simply adding some random noise on top of the user's true location is actually not that secure against someone who might wish to disambiguate the true location. Instead it's better to think of what happens under the hood as a quantization of sorts. Let me explain further.

> Let's look at an example area. Consider different users going on a drive in the vicinity of El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico. Note that this is near an international boundary, with the US being in the northern half of the map, and Mexico being in the southern half, bordered by this pink line you see here. The true position of the user is represented by the cars while the reported position, that is to say what an app would see if it had reduced accuracy, will be shown by a circle. Again as I mentioned earlier in this presentation, these reported locations will contain the user's true location.

> As these users drive down Interstate 10 the location snaps to within different quantize regions of varying sizes. Both the red and yellow users are going to be quantized or "snapped" into the same regions as they drive along the road.

> But the amount of snapping will vary. In denser urban areas, this amount of quantization can be a couple of kilometers, but in less dense places like rural areas, it can be 10 kilometers or a bit more. A typical value for this quantization radius is around five kilometers. Note that despite the cars continuously driving along the road the region to which the true position quantities will not continuously update. This is because Reduced Accuracy locations are recomputed about 4 times per hour. So depending on exactly how fast these cars are moving there might be some lag between quantized snaps. The actual semantics of the quantization are intended to replicate what the user would expect to hear if they were to ask for an approximate answer to the question "Where am I"? We tried to ensure that the resultant reduced accuracy location is still going to be somewhere that the user actually expects to be. We use a location we have for you to place your approximate location on the appropriate side of the border here.

> Again though remember that the center point does not represent the location of the user. It only represents the center of a region where they approximately are. Approximate location snapping however might put you in a neighboring city especially if there are cities close together. To reiterate the bit about quantization around borders, let's see what happens to someone driving on the other side of the border in Juarez and what they might expect to see.

> Note that the blue car is quantized into regions whose centers are on the Mexican side of the border.

> I don't think the idea that Jack Ma is being targeted by the CCP is just a plausible theory, not a conspiracy theory (in the colloquial sense). You have a group with the motive, means, and MO to do so, you just need to find the proof.

Which is the definition of a conspiracy theory. Words have meaning and this is a technical term; and altho it is common knowledge that it is being used as a smear word, this doesn't mean we have to play the same game here as well.

There is also no reason to pretend that the colloquial usage of conspiracy theory is more than opinion.
I agree that the popular load testing tools leave plenty to be desired, but have you given k6[1] a try? (Full disclosure: I'm one of the maintainers.)

Tests are written in JavaScript and there's support for HTTP, WebSockets and (unary) gRPC. You can easily script a combination of these protocols to mimic real world traffic.

Furthermore you can record a user flow with a browser extension[2] and convert the generated HAR file to a k6 script[3], which would give you an even closer real world scenario. The conversion is not perfect and depending on the service you might need to manually modify the script, but it would get you 90% of the way there.
