> For the most part, neither the interviewer nor the interview would ever program a LinkedList apart from a few courses in university.

And many non-professional athletes going out for a tryout will be put into artificial situations as well instead of being placed on the team and taken to an actual competition for their trial, it doesn't mean that tryouts are fundamentally flawed.

Linked list questions (or other data structure/algorithm questions) are synthetic questions used to gauge competence of individuals because we usually don't get the option to hire someone for a month and try them out in a real world scenario. If they're the sum of the interview, then they're moronic; if they're a portion of the interview, then they're (arguably) reasonable. Certainly more reasonable than the non-programming domain topics you listed.
It's amazing how far machine translation has come. I'd say we are now in the same place chess engines were in the 80's before Stockfish, Big Blue and others. For many languages the translations are astonishingly good--not native speaker good, but good enough for government work good. Mandarin approaches 90% accuracy for many kinds of texts; Arabic is hit or miss--either 80-85% or it's missing words so you're down to 30% or worse. German and French are excellent; take a look at deepl.com.
Absolutely, I imagine the insurance alone would make the Persian Gulf route unviable. Pirates is one thing, but governments confiscating boats would be a huge disincentive. The other side of the Sinai is probably much more palatable even if Egypt and Israel aren't best buddies.

> The Deno company hopes to enable the millions of web programmers out there to maximally leverage their craft in other domains.

I know this might be hard to see, but Rust is actually in the same domain. It is also, among other things, enabling product/frontend/web engineers to build backend/native/browser-less applications.

I'd bet Rust will be more successful here, especially given its amazing ability to change itself and innovate.
I'm perfectly content to leave things such as the simulation hypothesis as "I don't know."

This is another tool in the Street Epistemology toolbox, one normally done at the start of the conversation: you display a container of tic tacs and ask if there's an even or odd number in there--your conversation partner shouldn't be allowed to closely examine the tic tacs. There is a 'true' answer, but it's impossible to determine from their vantage point: as such, what use is either stance? The only "correct" answer is to acknowledge while there may be a true answer, they're unable to determine it from there and as such they don't know.

My tools are perfectly reliable in the sense that they are reliable indicators of truth where they can be applied, e.g. to things that can be observed. You're completely correct in that if we are in a simulation they can only probe the bounds of the problem, and offer no answer as to if we are indeed in a solution (beyond if an observable event occurs that would indicate such)--but I don't feel compelled to choose a "side" on that issue, and I remain skeptical of people who choose to do so in the absence of evidence--the same skepticism I regard folks who believe in a god with an absence of evidence. They may be correct, depending on the claims they make about that god and it's ability to influence the universe, but I see no reason to allow that possibility to influence my life and decision making, just as I don't allow the simulation hypothesis to influence my decision making: having seen no evidence, why would I affect change in my life for this thing?

It seems as though we've disagreed on the meaning of "reliable tools"--I don't mean omniscient, I simply mean they're the best way I've found to believe things that are true with regard to reality; put differently, they don't yield false positives. (Though it's wholly possible for me to reach false conclusions, I am only human.)
I don't know, I've had it done (by choice, not under involuntary commitment of any kind), and my brain feels pretty intact.

It's possible that it has no useful effect on people and all the (mostly historical, for reasons the article mentions) studies of its efficacy are fundamentally flawed, but people do keep using it outside of involuntary contexts, when the desperation is strong enough and enough other treatments haven't worked, and some of them find it quite effective.
The fact that you reported it is far more disgusting and petty than a driver dumping it out.
journalists and organizations are often incentivized to distort the facts into arbitrary narratives

Those aren't arbitrary. They are often pre-decided by higher ups in the company, or pre-decided as the prevailing groupthink in some forum or mailing list. People have been calling this stuff out online for years! Funnily enough, it stays out of the consciousness of normal people, because it's never covered in the mainstream news. Invariably, the people doing the exposing are then labeled something unsavory, so very few people bother to look into it. Some of this stuff is bunk. However, some of it is clearly real, and kinda disgusting.

Stuff like this has even been going on since the 80's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent
Ah yes, the Logitech fiasco. It is a great story of how several electrical engineers designing separately, and not understanding software impacts, could make a sub-optimal result.

The big takeaway is that at 5GHz signals often "leap off the conductors" at the slightest provocation. And clock skewing and other attempts at breaking data/signal correlation have limited ability to counter this.

For a long time I had a USB 2.0 cable extender with an RF choke on it, that I would connect to USB 3.x hubs and then plug the Logitech transceiver into that.
Can we ban proof-of-work cryptos at least? I know you can't exactly ban BTC itself but you can ban the new PoW ones for environmental reasons and mining BTC isn't profitable for...anyone but the NASA supercomputer, right?

Science cannot explain love, nor why it is better to love than to be selfish. Science says survival of the fittest, so why aren't we all killing each other in a quest to stand atop the pile of bones?

There is more to the universe than what it observable. This in and of itself does not mean there is or is not a God. Spirituality provides us the motivation to be ethical and good instead of selfish and evil.
I love that the debug mode catches missing refcount increments/decrement. I hate programming with manual reference counting. Looking forward to trying this out.
I would assume that Egypt paid. They have by far the biggest incentive to clear the canal asap. They will presumably now enter a lengthy legal dispute to try and get their money back from the shipping company.
The problem with these range tests is no one is driving 100% to 0%. People are more likely going 80% - 15% on road trips. Charging to 100% takes forever past 80% and getting under 20% starts making people nervous. Under 10% the car starts to cut power.

I'd like ranges also listed as the common range you'd expect. Maybe it can be standardized as an 80-20 test. For those on freeway driving I'm getting more like 150-200 miles on a M3LR.

Quick edit: I know some people might think 150-200 is low. Really could get more but I drive like it's a normal car and stopped caring about trying to optimize my efficiency. As long as I can get to the next supercharger that's all I care about.
Yes, you are right about that. Apple doesn't allow it to work as a mini app. I suspect, they will unlock more APIs to make Widget more interactive on later versions.
Your argument is much like answering yes to the question "Does a pound of bricks weigh more than two pounds of feathers?" Gaming still uses more energy, even if you try to rationalize it by invoking the motivations of the people consuming the energy.
What the heck happened to John Ioannidis?
There are only two temperatures it is valid to test range at: -50c, and +50c (120f). The extremes matter because the 1% of the time when you are in the extreme you need to know real numbers, not ideal ones. When the weather is potentially deadly if you run out of power you need to plan to ensure that you have enough range to safely make it to the recharge station.

Hopefully you never have to deal with the above extremes, but if you do the car better be there for you.
I'm not blocking the canal, I'm testing robustness!

Also in the big picture with covid not being as deadly as it could have been, could serve as a nice dress rehearsal for a captain trips.

I'd be curious how this compares to Ecto.Repo.prepare_query/3 at https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/multi-tenancy-with-foreign-keys.html... which sets you up for foreign key based multi-tenancy that can be enforced automatically in most common cases.

Is your strategy meant to be an alternative to prepare_query?
Yes, that's just the DI that does that, the async/await just gives you ridiculous call stacks and untraceable errors, usually for zero performance gains.
I recal a thread on /r/personalfinance where someone bought Bitcoin, directly for another altcoin after the Bitcoin value went up, the end-of-year happened, then in January the altcoin value tanked. If both happened in the same year that person could use the loss of the altcoin to offset the gain of the bitcoin. But since they were in separate years, they had to come up with some huge amount of money to pay taxes on the gains from bitcoin (gains that were wiped out by the drop in value from the altcoin).

To do this properly, everytime you use bitcoin to buy something you should sell enough bitcoin (for cash) at the same time to generate enough cash to cover the tax on the main transaction (assuming bitcoin went up in value from when you acquired it).

> because frankly I stopped believing in God the same time I stopped believing in Father Christmas (7?).

I had a very similar experience. My mother is a (now non-practicing) catholic and my father is more or less an agnostic. We stopped attending church about the time I was 10 because our parish had one of the pedophile priests. My "faith" died out after I learned that all of these supernatural things I was told existed actually didn't, why was the existence of god any different.

Personally, I'd say I ended up an agnostic. I don't go around telling people what I think they should believe and internally I don't really lean one way or the other. One of those "unknowable" things, along with whether there is an afterlife or not. I kind of hope there is something, I can't exactly fathom non-existence.

But as far as "family values" go, I've never felt my parents' moral teachings to be any less reasonable without an underlying fear of damnation to keep you on track. I'd like to think that I'm a good person and that being a good person is my own choice and not something I'm told to do "or else".

Maybe it was Stephen Fry who said it, but there is a quote along the lines of "I'm commiting as many murders, thefts, and rapes as I want - that number is 0" that kind of resonates with me.

But I don't actually see how that is different than religion. Religions have failed many times throughout history.

It's pretty clear that that "worship" here refers to where we practice focusing our heart's yearnings, not to a set of religious rites. Synonyms of this meaning of "worship" include "revere" and "venerate".

The way I use my Model 3, I intend to almost never go below 20% and almost never go above 80%. I'm just fine with including the buffer in the stated range. Given how batteries actually work, I can understand Tesla's approach to the buffer, and in the long run, that's what's actually better for vehicle longevity, fleet-wide.
> If you think that my not writing you a lengthy essay explaining why Hitchens is uninformed is somehow indicative that he isn't, I'm not sure what to tell you.

I'm simply saying that since the beginning of this conversation, you're stating facts without providing a shred of evidence, other than "go educate yourself on the subject".

This is how conversations usually go in my experience: when you state a fact, you back them up by - at least - a modicum of evidence instead of dropping them as self-evident and walking away.

But given your last answer, one thing you definitely cannot be accused of is lack of consistency.

Yeah, I suspect this news story (and poll) only scratches the surface as to identifying the multiple demographic trends afoot. Most notable to my eye was the 15% drop in church membership between GenX and Millenial. Of course, to do that metric justice we'd need to monitor change in that age group over time. Are today's 18-to-30 year olds so different than 18-to-80 year olds were in the 1970's or 1990s?

I suspect the range of ages that are today's Millenials has forever been less traditional than other age groups. That's unsurprising given they have the least personal history of any adult group to weigh when deciding their life's priorities, and are likely to think least about their relationship to others in their family (since they just left the parents behind and have yet to add any more). At that age, the need to join another 'family' and adopt a bunch of new familial responsibilities is likely to be less compelling a notion than it may be a few years hence.
So "meet the new boss, same as the old boss." They all want to lord over me, whether religious or political. The distinction isn't important to me as I'm forced to bear their crosses regardless.

If you don't regularly run into issues with people dropping pronouns without proper or with ambiguous antecedents, who exactly are you talking to? It seems like just trying to get normal folks to unambiguously state nounwise what they are talking about tends more often than not to get hackles raised because people (wrongly) seem to assume you're being patronizing.

I just maintain more conversational context than most, and pronouns can get askew really quick. Please, I don't need yet another layer of faux pas to be added on to getting people to unambiguously communicate.
To expect manual or automatic tests to cover all changes is naive. If people start to make changes that is not related to the actually task. The risk of missing something is kinda obvious.

You (and the op) is barking up the wrong tree. Surely you have to understand it is not the fault of git that ends you up in this stupid situation. It is a broken process.

Edit: grammar, not all :)

> Not sure I understand, are you implying Deno does automatic tree-shaking on package imports? If not, how does "deno download exactly the code that is imported" and not just a whole package?

npm install copies in to your node_modules an entire zip/tarball package. Deno uses ES2015+ module syntax and it's only going to grab the JS files that are imported (or imported by imports). So it "naturally" tree shakes at the file level, and doesn't have a concept of a "package" in the same way. It's not directly going to tree shake inside of single file boundaries in the way that a major bundler/packager might (though the V8 JIT should still sort of indirectly compensate).

So yeah, if the package is published as just a single (M)JS file it will still get entirely downloaded by Deno, but if the modules are split across multiple files, Deno will only download the ones that are directly or indirectly imported (and will have no idea of the remainder of the files in the "package").

> I disagree with this. In my opinion, this is done by using a pull-through cache that caches every package developers request and so inherently has a cache of the packages that will go to production.

> Is it possible to do this in deno today? I don't really get that sense.

Yes, because URLs are just URLs, you could always have a Proxy service running at a URL that knows how to request the packages from upstream. https://jsproxy.mydomain.example.com/lodash/v1.1/module.js could be simple caching proxy that knows how to get lodash from upstream if it doesn't have the requested version cached (or sends a 404 error if it isn't allowed to cache a specific version or whatever).
I feel the oft cited idea of GPUs being the key to the change is a bit exaggerated. They give a modest constant factor of speedup in exchange for more difficult programming model and esoteric hardware requirements, and as such give a chance of frontfrunning CPU computation a bit, but is it really significant if we zoom out a bit in the historical perspective?

It's irresponsible to hold your assets in any one vehicle. Your 6 month buffer savings should be in cash or something equally liquid. If I had all my safety net in real estate or paper gold, it'd be the same problem.
depends how you drive. if I try, I find it pretty easy to beat the epa highway rating on most cars. if you're not paying attention, it's also really easy to get poor efficiency out of the turbocharged low-displacement engines that are common today. efficiency tends to drop off pretty rapidly when you get into the turbo.
I had tried a great many things, including ketamine, though not (at that time) psychedelics.
There are rules in place that forbid charging the customer additional fees if a merchant chooses to accept the major credit cards. Small merchants sometimes get away with breaking these rules, but major firms like the ones you mentioned never would.

So the choice becomes whether to accept the major credit cards at all or whether to only accept cash and debit cards and thus alienate many of their customers.
There is a decline in Christianity but there is not a decline in religion. The religions many preach today are non-theistic and secular but they are religions nonetheless and they don't tolerate heretics.

Global Fertility Rate: A Population Crash Is Coming
This is an incredibly naive viewpoint.

All legitimate Bitcoin trading exchanges have assets. Some countries have more flexibility to shut down companies than the US. During the golden era, governments weren’t sure what to do with Bitcoin so companies like mtgox were left alone but those days are gone. Especially with the threat of getting arrested for money laundering, it makes the risk much higher and popularity would plummet.

They could shut down Bitcoin trading in the Western countries and then put financial sanctions on any countries that allow Bitcoin trading. It would drive Bitcoin trading underground but with no legitimate and easy way of converting your Bitcoin to fiat currency, it would die quickly.

Once the price of Bitcoin drops below the price of the cost to mine it in terms of electricity, it would probably stop getting mined by many parts of the world. It also might drive Bitcoin into the hands of China but I think what would happen is that the governments would come up with some other form of cryptocurrency that they could control.

Then, since you are required to pay restitution, once one Satoshi of those coins moves, on the public blockchain, you're in hot water again.

Basically, you'd be doing 2 x [X wallets] years, to be able to look at your blockchain addresses holding all that BTC and never touch them. Unless, you'd previously moved some to an address that was never never-transacted-with and never detected.

I'm very surprised. What are the ways these JS minifiers are producing unportable JS? Do minifiers just remove white space, shorten variable names, and some may do some dead-code-elimination and inlining? How can JavaScript be non-portable?
> Your rule is much weaker to the point of being useless

Yes, it's much weaker, but it's not useless. The vast majority of code in a program does not need to be as fast as it could possibly be [1], so there's no point in manually implementing everything in assembly. That doesn't mean that it never makes sense to manually implement something in assembly for performance reasons.

[1] And for many programs, all the code does not need to be as fast as it could possibly be.
