Frequently Asked C# Interview Questions and Answers(2021)
Very interesting article, but if you are short on time I suggest stopping once it mentions Carol Cleland - it spends too much time talking about her, and not enough about the topic after that.
Since C# is such a widely-used programming language, a plethora of big and small organizations base their products using it. So, prepare yourself with basic and advanced level C# questions to ace the interviews. Let’s look at 50 much asked and a comprehensive set of questions on C#.

> I've been to plenty of interviews where my CV hasn't been given more than a glance.

I do technical interviews and I never look at CVs before doing the interview. I do this to avoid bias. I want to treat them the same no matter if they went to Stanford or were not working for 10 years or if this is their first job.

Also, people are adaptable, and soft skills matter a lot. So the error bars for recruiting even based on hard skills on a resume are really large.

> Your last words likely won't be wise, witty, or even coherent.

I don't remember the last words my dad said before he passed. We had some irrelevant chitchat about my daily life, and I got him something to drink or similar.

But as I left that evening and we said good night, he reached out and we shook hands, something we almost never did.

And in that moment, the few seconds as we shook hands in silence and just looked at each other, I felt a deep, profound connection. All of me could feel that he was saying his final goodbye, and I thanked him in silence.

He passed away the next morning before I got back. He'd told the nurse and doctor he didn't want more oxygen, which they honored, and after a short while he slept for good.

So in a way I never got to have a final word with him. But I'm very glad we got to say goodbye.
There is plenty of incentive to lie on your deathbed. A lot of people spend their entire lives worrying about how they’ll be remembered.

I sympathize with the author -- I also choose plain old SQL whenever possible. But SQL is not a good option. It is the least bad option. I even worked on my own alternate query language, Plisqin: https://docs.racket-lang.org/plisqin/index.html I was never expecting it to gain adoption. But if any SQL alternative ever does gain adoption (in the same way Typescript has for JS), I really hope it looks at least a little bit like Plisqin. Specifically, when joins are values and not language constructs, things get a lot better. Also, please satisfy these 3 rules: https://docs.racket-lang.org/plisqin/research-language.html#...

BioRxiv wouldn't host our paper on natural selection, why not?
Doing it in a real job listing is dangerous because some good candidates will decline to apply because they know nothing about MOVA and it looks like an important requirement. It might be better in open requests for CVs, where the company asks about knowledge of zillions of technologies.

Honest candidates answer truthfully that they don't know MOVA with the expectation of being considered for non-MOVA jobs, without any incentive to lie, and moderate liars would choose what to exaggerate based on their actual know-how, not indiscriminately.
Quote from the original claim:

> After I found all this out, I concluded space travel isn't THAT hard, assuming you have a way to accelerate constantly at 1g for 22 years (that is the hardest part actually), you can get anywhere in the galaxy in a human lifetime, no need for generation ships, cryogenics or other crazy tech.

They are saying add a constant 1g acceleration and you can get anywhere relatively quickly, no warp bubble required. That's what I'm taking exception to. If we add a warp bubble, sure, but a constant 1g acceleration shouldn't ever see you having an experience of moving faster than the speed of light, and that 10,000 ly trip should still take > 10,000 ly.

Is royalties a different category for US taxation than other revenue streams?
They are not nuances, and they aren't even 'curriculum'. They are a fundamental reshaping of our world view.

'America is a State of White Supremacy' is a pretty fundamentally different want to think about the US than any time in history.
In trying to imagine ways to unify knowledge of the worlds phenotypes (not DNA/RNA) we ran various exercises to think of just one "standard" measurement that could be measured across all life. All failed at one scale or another. An individual clonal tree (poplar), good luck measuring its mass. A blob like radially symetrical single celled organism, "length" is meaningless.

That heavily biases what kind of people you select. It's not about following instructions, it's about not caring for the weird requirement.
Nothing in physics says it is impossible. The current theory in thermodynamics is that the general arrow of entropy applied to biology is decreasing internal entropy (of the cell or lifeform) at the expense of higher external entropy.

Are you prepared to bet on this?
You do understand that there is a very real non-hypothetical cost to doing something like that right? Each of these people needs to be paid, added to payroll by our HR, shadowed by a more experienced dev to give them a chance to ramp up. If you hired 5+ devs that are potentially "diamonds in the rough" you need to have IT give them their hardware and do the onboarding. In hiring it's always quality over quantity and absolutely not the opposite because of precisely this reason.

Another fallacy is basing your hiring on test results. This is silly because you also discriminate by assuming everyone has time to do a take home test which is certainly not the case. If you meant a quick test in-office then there is no way you can get deep enough insight for it to be worth your time.
Interesting. I've been looking at https://github.com/bokwoon95/go-structured-query but I'll have to look at reform too, now. Thanks.
This heavily depends on the tax agreement your country has with the US.
Just looking at your second link, the odds to hospitalized w/ a severe obesity (> 35 BMI) is 2.5 higher than people w/ BMI in healthy 20-25 range

Now, according to https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/investi..., the risks of hospitalization in 85+ years is more than 10x the risk in 30-39 year old range.

If we're talking about mortality, it is more than 100x difference between those two age ranges.

It is really not comparable: being old is much much worse than being obese as far as hospitalization/mortality goes w/ covid.
The definition of life is trivial: it is what biologists are interested in. If you want to know if something is alive, just count the biologists following it. Rabbits? Yes. Bugs? Yes. Viruses? Yes. Protons? No. Memes? Not really. Computer viruses? No. Prions? Borderline.

Might the definition change, as biologists encounter new stuff and develop an interest? Sure. Does that make the old definition wrong? No.

Dividing the world into life / non-life boxes is a purely human distinction. The universe totally doesn't care. Who does? People. Who cares most? Biologists.
>>Just my humble opinions, most human beings have remarkably similar values across different culture, we all want paradoxically to belong to the herd and also distinguish ourselves from the herd.

When I quit my job and went travelling I used this framework:

1. Go via land. You see everything in between all the places you should see as a tourist. You immerse yourself in how a place actually feels. You meet people who aren’t just trying to extract money from you. I cycled, because I like cycling, but any form of transport works.

2. My algorithm was something like “Go east. Stay somewhere if it’s interesting, until you get bored. Continue going east.” I didn’t have a fixed itinerary, but I did have some framework.

That was the basis of it, I think. I cycled from London to Italy, stopped for a while in Italy, cycled on to Greece, then fell in love (with the place and somebody in particular). I met some of my best friends, worked on side projects, volunteered for charities, and ended up staying there for several months. I skipped forward to India on a plane, cycled across India, then returned back to Greece.

My partner in Greece wanted to visit the Middle East and Central Asia, but she wasn’t quite as excited about cycling through the desert as I was, so we bought a van and drove — to Central Asia, and everything in between.

My framework worked extraordinarily well. If I have one regret, I think it was not making an effort to interact with more people. You do that a lot more naturally when travelling by land, but you still need to put in effort to make it happen.

For example, I was up late in a bar in an Italian village, and met one of the locals. It was a long cycle ride back to the place I was staying so he offered me his spare room. Turns out he lived with his parents and the next day his elderly Italian mother cooked us pasta for lunch. Possibly one of the best meals of my life.

I wish I had done more of that. Just hanging out in bars and making friends. And not tourist bars — real bars. Knowing the local language better would probably help.
We also need specific exceptions to DMCA 1201-style laws (most countries copypasted the 1201 language) to allow circumvention for repair purposes, and specifically allow distribution of circumvention tools in cases where first-party repair is no longer available. If you don't service console disc drives anymore, I should legally be able to tell everyone how to unlock their disc drives so they can be swapped with spares.

(For the record: Most 1201 exceptions do NOT cover tools, under the idea that lawful circumvention will be carried out by entities that can do their own RE work.)
Tax money is not bound to specific things, but goes into the budget. From that budget the DOD and military are financed. As are all other activities by the U.S. government.

That seems like a potentially risky move from YouTube. Won't every other country now demand that they do the same for them?

This is going to be extremely confusing for creators. I can't imagine anyone but the very largest YouTubers being able to handle getting taxed in multiple countries and figure out what exactly they need to pay at home.

Actually, the large YouTubers may be better of simply demonetizing they videos and just sell sponsored videos and embedded ads directly.

So, i have an old phone, i put 100 euro on it, then put it in flightmode, and make a backup. Then i start paying stuff, and when the 100 is finished, i put the backup back. I know the double spend is not solved with this paper, but how does the retailer know this is a phone from a double spender? He shows a QR code to the customer, and not visa versa. The retailer does not know anything from this customer.
> I think this is a better analogy for ergonomics in programming languages.

While it may be a better analogy, it doesn't really reflect the way the term is used. In my (admittedly anecdotal) experience, most people's complaints about ergonomics are more of expecting difficult things to be easier than they inherently are than of the actual quality of the tools they are presented with. People think they are complaining about a mixer with too many settings, when in reality what they are complaining about is the fact that there are several variables that go into mixing batter and dough. They buy a mixer that's targeted at a baker or chef who wants complete control over how their batter comes out or who even needs a mixer versatile enough to also mill grain or roll pasta, then are predictably lost because it's not as immediately intuitive to use as a simple hand mixer. I don't think that makes the mixer not ergonomic, I think it just makes it not the right tool for that particular person.

I'd say the entire opposite of this author, async rust works well, it solves 99% of the problems I want it to solve in a practical and useful way, right now. And even better the resulting program is faster than anything I could have cooked up on my own.

Probably the only true comparable might be the scylladb seastar framework. And it's just that, with all the burdens that come with C++ coding. You won't find every client and server protocol under the sun implemented with it either which arguable async rust is building towards.

Of course they will, sane or not. Do you really think millions of drivers will stay alert when they've gone months or years without an accident?

I have seen systems that use caching so heavily that when the cache is invalidated en masse, they need to bring up extra compute resources to fill it again, because the system under normal load with an empty cache needs so many more resources. Basically the system can no longer function adequately with a cold cache. This is of course a pain to orchestrate.

I suppose regularly clearing out the cache is a way to be sure you aren't in that situation, or at least know it when you become so.

My experience with those systems is one reason that I'm reluctant to take the position of resorting to caching before trying to optimize the underlying code. It makes me want to treat caching as a last resort when I can't feasibly (whether due to time or skill or actual external limits) optimize any further, which is I think a bit different than the attitude OP is suggesting.

The maintenance "cost" of adding a cache layer is in my experience higher than the OP suggests. Failure-to-invalidate/stale cache bugs can be very easy to make and difficult to debug and solve when using a strategy that depends upon invalidation, like 2 and 3 in the OP.
Estimating Software Budgets – Don’t Confuse Precision with Accuracy
At first this sounds crazy but the article makes it clearer that really they're talking about taxing revenue earned in the US from US viewers.

That's not quite so unreasonable as long as it's reciprocated for US creators operating in foreign markets. i.e. you pay taxes where the viewers are, not (only) where the creator is.

If you don't submit any tax details they'll go after your full world wide revenue as they don't know where it was earned, so it will be important to do that.

I guess it could all be avoided if YouTube added a feature to allow creators from the rest of the world hide content from US viewers but that's probably not part of their business plan.

People lie. On their deathbeds with the sense of impending finality they will do their damndest to come up with anything at all to feel better. Lie to God (I'll convert! I'll be a better person!), lie to their spouse (I was always faithful, and always loved you!), lie to themselves (It's not that bad! I'll live.)

Pack any situation with emotion and adrenaline, you'll get world-class mental gymnastics. Look at the exceptional efforts even animals put out when mortally threatened. The burst of energy and struggle seems like it would be epic. Including struggling with the truth.
sfeed_html just outputs a flat html file, I know it looks like unread counts, but it's just showing a count of entries with a published date within the last 24 hours of when the page was generated. It's just an easy way to draw attention to "new" entries.

An unread count feels to me like another todo list. I like not having it.

That's very interesting. However I am not sure whether being middle/upper class has any association with being able to speak english. Frankly I don't think there is a class distinction in China (despite an economic one maybe).

I would like to point out if helpful that in China our education of the English language is much more geared towards reading rather than speaking. Students are generally equipped with enough to read and understand given adequate time but probably not speaking. However regional difference also may exist (first tier cities vs second, third etc). I used to feel ashamed about our english level in east asia in general. But then again now I think about people in the anglosphere where French and Spanish are largely taught but no one would expect a large proportion will be able to converse in them :)

The headline and first few paragraphs are just an incredibly misleading framing of the study results.

- drivers experienced with L2 assistance were the most aware of on-road events

- drivers inexperienced with L2 assistance were the least aware of on-road events

- drivers not using L2 assistance were in the middle

This seems like a quite positive result for driver assistance features - they increase situational awareness but take a bit to get used to.
