Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I did check a couple of years ago and found what I thought were some errors. I began to draft an email to you but never finished and eventually discarded it. I'll try to recreate it here:

With regards to halting, there are some programs that can be written simply in any common programming language to halt iff a solution to a specified number exists, simply by enumerating all possible values and halting if one satisfies the neccessary conditions. Thus to determine the halting of such a program would solve a problem. Typically these can be done in less than ten lines of Python, for instance. Some examples include: does there exist an odd perfect number; do there exist four positive integers a,b,c,n with n>2 such that a^n+b^n=c^n? The former is an open question; and the latter is Fermat's Last Theorem, which took an immense amount of machinery to prove, six decades after Turing's paper, and which is related to many open problems. (I've also heard that the halting problem could be used to solve the Riemann Hypothesis, but I don't know whether or not that's true.) If you can find a way to figure out whether or not such simple programs halt or not, I'd love to hear about it! What I've gleaned from your papers doesn't actually seem to apply to such programs though, which is a shame since these programs aren't very complicated.

Now, with regards to Cantor, I recall reading a paper on your website (which I can't seem to find today, so apologies if I misrepresent it). I agree that set theory is not a good way to evaluate the number of numbers, since it throws out all properties about such numbers (e.g. ordering); this is why we have natural density, real density, and other properties. But there was another part where you indicated (something to the effect of) that the reals were countable since there are countably many Turing Machines; however I believe the correct conclusion to draw is that there are uncomputable numbers. Again, I can't seem to find it today, so I apologize if this is unsubstantiated.
> not truly reversible connectors

What do you mean by that? USB-C connectors are not truly reversible? USB3 can also exist in USB-A and B variants that are indeed non reversible.
They asked no Linked-List questions (I was prepared for them, the only time I have ever used linked-lists was in interview prep).

I also think the FAANG interview was pretty bad overall (took 6 months to go through), the last question was great. It required no algorithms, but a difficult problem to solve that required me to think on my feet rather than apply a known algorithm.

I can also tell you that my current team leads have both emphasized the importance of being able to find information, less importance being able to do it off the cuff (which I agree with).
Interesting. I ended going back to 2.4 on my mouse as I'd have all sorts of problems with a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, and headset connected simultaneously (on a Macbook Pro).
Frankly I’m surprised they haven’t done this already. There’s no way to account for money laundering which is an obvious use of Bitcoin. There are services that outright specialize in this.

My expectation is that they are coordinating with other countries so that they shut down bitcoin immediately across large swathes of the world. That would be enough to damage it permanently. They did something similar with online poker in the US and I can’t believe they wouldn’t do the exact same thing in this situation.

Chrome has a "reader mode" semi-hidden feature which does this to any article on any site, and in my experience works perfectly 99% of the time. On mobile it's a huge saver, especially since Chrome by default doesn't have ad-block, and articles on mobile nowadays have become utterly unreadable with all the crap they throw at you.

This is another reason I like AMP in general, despite all of its issues, it generally is much cleaner [1] than the non-amp alternatives [2]

This is really interesting. If it's not prying too personally, mind sharing where you're at or some example companies?

I've interviewed at maybe 15-20 companies over the years and never not had to whiteboard or live code in some way. The thought of not having to seems so foreign to me.
I don't disagree. I am merely commenting on the idea of funds meant to keep people from starving and mapping where they would be if invested. The fast food worker down from my house is definitely not thinking about "stimulus investment strategies"
Has any browser been discontinued for Mojave yet?
In some ways they are. Run the test in one exact way and those are the results that you'd expect.

Run it differently and the results will vary in fairly predictable ways too.
> When did payment processing become Wall Street?

When it started affecting writers’ incomes as a result of the income being based on clicks. Making something “controversial” by mislabeling it or misconstruing it is a simple, but unfortunately successful strategy (in the short term at least).
All the more reason to move to optical fiber+power cable like they were originally planning for thunderbolt/USB3.
That's all? I'd have thought more. And it makes perfect sense since "boomers" they have worked for 50+ years to expand their wealth. Think about it for a little bit -- older generations should have more wealth than younger generations if things are working correctly.
I alias ‘clear’ to ‘c’ because I use it so often and have to immediately set it up on any new machine.
Guessing you didn't read the article? This article is saying that when Tesla made those complaints, Edmunds reran the test the way that Tesla suggested and got the following results.
Sure, maybe its not a big deal that the cars come up a few miles short of the advertised range under these conditions, but the Tesla ones were the _only_ ones to do so, which is at least interesting.
there's a big difference between "hey guys Amazon isn't pushing back against criticism enough" and "lets start tweeting snarky shit at US Senators from Amazon official accounts". have a little cynicism; Recode doesn't have proof it came from Bezos or it would show it.

Not nearly everything else, but alot of things use PROXY/HTTP_PROXY for HTTP things which works here too.
Not sure what you mean here. What I am saying, and this is backed by women self reporting, women leaving and statistics is that the toxicity of some of the leaders in open source lead them not start / leave open source.
> if it's a long term trend then more of it will convert to be residential

Converting an office building to residential use isn't easy. For example, you'd have to add water/sewage lines running to each residential unit.

Also, in NYC, apartments are required to have a certain number of windows. In a large office building, there can be a lot of floor space that's far from any windows.
I wouldn't be surprised if that "much" was "most." I did a couple of small projects for a commercial fishing vessel a few years back to ingest NMEA0183 sentences and convert them to an AIS message (I think he was connecting it to a newer chart plotter that only had AIS input).

I recall asking if this functionality wasn't available off the shelf and the answer was that it existed, but it was difficult without also buying a lot of new equipment he didn't need. It apparently cost a lot less to have me do the data conversions (and I didn't charge much for it) on a small SBC than it would to have to buy new equipment and deal with installation, fitment issues, etc.
Reliable Progress Indicator and ETA
Just to add to the sibling comment: LinkNYC absolutely benefits from this commercially. Those terminals are packed with sensors & cameras, and they collect MAC addresses, count pedestrians, etc. etc. etc.

Free WiFi in exchange for prime on-street real estate for your sensors turned out to be a superb deal for them.
> This is not really surprising coming from a religious person, dogma being after all the intellectual foundation of religion.

First off, I'm not religious. Second off, this kind of personal attack is not welcome here.

As I already said, every scholar of religious studies finds the books by Hitchens, Dawkins, etc. to be amusing at best. I can't educate you on the academic study of religion in a HN comment. If you are actually interested in reading criticism of such people and not just bashing non-atheistic people, I suggest looking into comparative religion and religious studies.
Take a look at this graph: https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-ECONOMY/GREATREBOOT/xegpbgw...

Coming out of the pandemic, Boomers, Gen X and Millenials all have a firmer grip on America's wallet, coming at the expense of the silent & earlier generation who saw their households drop :(, but still, the Boomers' grip is tighter than others', which I think is the real lede, if any.

In all honesty, you could read this as members of the Silent generation are dying and they're bequeathing their wealth to Boomers and Gen X... I guess Millenials have to hope they'll be so lucky when Boomers die.
I didn't say it is, I said you could argue that. And depending on your point of view it could be true for you.
I use the Pomodoro at the end of a semester to study for longer periods without burning out. That way of studying works better than anything else for me.

Breaks are short enough that your mind doesn't wander too far and often enough, to not feel like a break is still 4 hours away.

The benefit of this is that it turns the whole process into a habit. It's not about today or tomorrow, but rather about the 2-3 weeks that you spent studying. This helps me with feeling positive about the progress I made (even if it's small).

Some things that help me:

- Reminding myself that I took those 8 hours for myself (to get things done)

- Having a deadline (exams) allows me to schedule topics (set expectations low)

- I don't have any apps to doomscroll (twitter, facebook, instagram), so a 5 minute break
is plenty to respond to a friend

- Most of my breaks are not spent on my phone (getting water, fresh air, walking around house, stretching, talking to people)
I know this isn't quite your point, but I can't tell you how many jobs I've not been offered due to missing some trivia question and the interviewer deciding my fate based on that.
My father had this for suicidal depression. After each ECT he would expect my mother to be taking him home, but he had to be reminded that they were divorced. He forgot. It was not a pleasant experience and didn't seem to help him with his depression.
Your conclusion is definitionally the same as Popper's? Intolerance of intolerance is the solution. It is only a "paradox" in that unlimited tolerance leads to this seemingly backwards outcome of the triumph of intolerance.
Not allowing exchanges to exist as US companies or interface with US banking institutions would be two very obvious steps towards "outlawing" Bitcoin. I make no value judgements on whether this is a good thing, but want to point out that these steps would likely cripple Bitcoin.
Me too! Seems quite excessive for such a simple website.
I think as usual when it comes to complex issues involving many people the truth will be somewhere in the middle. At the very least COVID has forced managers to get acquainted with managing remote teams — even if the team won’t be 100% remote a year from now, I can very well imagine a 3/2 or even 4/1 split between on site or WFH.
And no one is claiming that there aren't sinners in the Church, and no one is outraged that there are. The problem is that the "hospital" was moving abusers around from floor to floor to avoid responsibility.

Heck, if the Church defrocked the abusers (those in need of its "cures") when they were reported, and took actions to keep them from abusing and answer for their crimes to the legal authorities, no one would have this (particular) problem. But the Church didn't, because it was protecting itself. The Church is more important to the Church than the victims of those crimes.

Hence, the Church exists to ensure the existent of itself, and all it's actions are in service of that singular goal.

Frankly, moral outrage at child sexual abuse and the systematic cover up of the abuse and protection of the abusers is justified. If the Bible is written in such a way that such moral outrage is a sickness, then it is truly awful foundation to base your morality upon.

But thank _you_ for minimizing the responsibility of those covering up the crimes and ensuring that they could continue.

Yeah, I've been criticizing the article for that. Its missing the forest for the trees. The real range matters a great deal, as do other metrics like miles added per minute charging.

If you can fire workers on strike you remove the only leverage of a union.
While on strike you don't get money from your employee and the employee won't make money from his company. So both sides benefit if a strike ends.
If you can just replace workers on strike the unions have no power especially today when more workers than work exist.
I don't think it is independent discovery, because Christianity was born at a time when Greek ideas were widespread (Palestine having been a Greek-dominated area for centuries before the arrival of Romans). I believe there was an amalgamation of elements from ancient Hebrew religion with other pagan myths mainly from Greece.

I'm surprised this isn't discussed more widely (though even vendors know about this [0]). My wireless Logitech mouse didn't work properly when I had a hub connected to bring some connections to the front of my iMac (both with Bluetooth and the dongle the mouse had a significant lag).

It's hard to believe that there is a standard and devices are widely deployed that mess so so much with their environment.

Was hoping for an insight into the cryptocurrency markets by a financial markets insider but this was a rambling interview of little informational value. I'd be curious to know what the general sentiment is among high-level financiers and politicians towards bitcoin, if there is even a consensus. Right now most of the perspectives I have heard are either from the uninformed individual or from the biased crypto enthusiast.
This is a good point. I always forget Cell can be used with non-Copy types too.
Pretty much sums up my experience as well, I grew up going to church and every week it was ‘follow the church or go to hell’ and ‘you are all sinners going to hell’.

As an adult ( in a different geographic area ) I’ve been to church with my wife and its a much more positive experience.

In the end my ‘belief’ is in a moral code and not in a religion.
I would argue that's a bad "point of the question" -- also, many of them are in 50 minute interviews.

Call me crazy, I think an interview question should test for one's ability to program well, not test their memorization knowledge.

My argument is precisely that linked-list questions are a poor proxy for programming well. It's testing the wrong thing(s).
It's kind of hard to tell, but it looks like the Suez canal was on super flat land and I recall most of Sinai is desert. The Israel-Egypt border doesn't look that flat based on the colouring on the leading image of [1].

I treat my home network as insecure and use an off the shelf ISP provided router (FritzBox). I have saved hours of my life doing this. I was running various unixy things over the years and suddenly something went snap and I decided not to bother.

It’s fine for corporate and medium sized networks but not worth it for home stuff any more. Just costs time, money and eats a lot of power.
Highly doubtful. Code is free speech, and the ability to run whatever software one wishes is the expression of that free speech.

Where they do have the power is regulations regarding (legacy) financial industry. Given the interest in magic internet money from institutional investors and wall street, I think the moment where it would be acceptable to block fiat->cryptocurrency transactions has passed, and would now offer a systemic problem for big finance today.
> In 2021 the conventional wisdom is basically the opposite of the sentiment expressed here. Progress in AI is not coming from abstract reasoning. It is coming from an increase in raw power, driven by GPUs, and mathematical models that are designed more to harness large numbers and brute force searches for formulas, rather than a high-minded algorithmic embodiment of abstraction.

It doesn't seem completely off. What the author is describing—and what we're seeing—is increasingly sophisticated algorithms, that are getting better and better at answering more and more narrowly defined questions: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/mar/08/typograph...
If it’s anything like Iceland people get auto-registered as members. Much better to look at things like church attendance rates.
I tried to use similar LD_PRELOAD solutions but I always ended up finding some programs that don't go through libc, so they bypassed the VPN.

badvpn-tun2socks works with everything I wanted, but it's not as easy to control the processes that go through the VPN. It should be possible with network namespaces or tagging packets with cgroups but it's a pain to get it all set up.
I believe the version I saw uses a polarized filter and some kind of film that works similarly to e-ink to control how much light goes through. They had a White Paper on it called JustTint.

I thought it was notable that even as the article describes Google's advantage over Amazon, you can see Google shooting themselves in the foot:

> Her shop has been unable to list any products since January because Google suspended her account.

> It said her shipping costs appeared more expensive on Google than on her Shopify-powered website, even though they were no different.

> Shopify told her that it was a Google issue. Google’s customer service representatives recommended that she hire a web designer. She continues to manage without Google, but it has tainted her largely positive experience.
I remember that optical transceivers are expensive. On the flip side, there was optical SPDIF way back when.
It's the absolutely right move to get investors. Deno has substantial advantages over NodeJS.

10 points to you if you were able to zoom in correctly on the Suez Canal
Does anyone have thoughts on how natural it feels to use ‘:’ instead ‘=‘ for variable creation? From a distance it has a nice elegance, but it is interesting how few programming languages make this choice.
> TTL is irrelevant for the first query

With a long TTL, the chances are higher that your router or your ISP has the name cached. Round trip to your ISP is very short.

If you have a short TTL, the ISPs name server may have to query the next server in the chain.

If the authoritative name server is 10000km away, that means at least 60ms extra round trip time (speed of light).
Eh, Vercel pulled it off rather well with Next.js. Given that Guillermo Rauch is an investor in Deno, I wouldn't be surprised if they partnered in some way.
That is an insane amount of state for auth dns servers to maintain.

“Pushing” the message out that the record has changed would also prove tricky to implement I’d say.

I think this is a bit misleading. Edmunds and the EPA ran two very different tests. For instance, Edmunds drives the car until it indicates it's empty. However, in the EPA test, "the vehicle is driven over successive city cycles until the battery becomes discharged" [1]. Tesla vehicles, like many others, have a not so insignificant buffer of "extra" miles that you can still use after the vehicle indicates that its "empty".

Furthermore, Edmunds tested the Teslas at temperatures that are roughly 14F lower than the 68F used by the EPA. This can make a big difference in the range you get.

My point is that these articles are acting like they are comparing apples to apples--the EPA test vs the Edmunds test--but they're not.

I admit that I'm a Tesla fan and shareholder. But my first loyalty is to the truth. Ding Tesla and Elon when they mess up. Nobody is above reproach or constructive criticism.

So let's not pretend that Edmunds (or The Drive for that matter) are either. Edmunds ran what appears to be a not very scientific test, and came to a highly debatable conclusion that Tesla vehicles don't meet the EPA mileage guidelines. I think the tests are not comparable. Maybe that's just me.
