Oh this still makes me cringe. It's was a storm of coincidences. I used to be able to say that if I got an interview I got an offer 100% of the time, until this happened...

I was asked by a friend to apply to a job because "we really need someone like you". I liked the friend and I was open to interview. Applied to the job, and gave him a copy of my resume.

The interviewer emailed me a time with a hangouts link (remote interview). He sent it to the wrong email address, so I never got it.

Fast forward a week later I see a voice call on hangouts with my friend's name on it. So I answer it on my phone. It was the interview. Totally not prepared, not in the headspace for an interview...I don't even have my resume in front of me...and definitely not dressed for the occasion.

It's a 12 person panel. I have interviewed with 1-4 people before, but 12 was a lot.

So I sit down where I was, which was in the attic, because I was cleaning, wearing a t-shirt and shorts, but hey they can just see my face and uhm a cloth thing for a background because I had a grey blanket on hand when they called me so I made it my makeshift background.

Totally off my game, but at least my friend is part of the 12, so there is that. And I managed to setup my makeshift area within 30 seconds with my video off. Relevant side note, I have 4 kids, so either I would have to be downstairs with the kids screaming or outside...so the attic was the best place for me.

Interview starts, brief introductions...I got no freaking paper or pens, but I find a pink paper with some kid art on it and a thick sharpie, which was ridiculous but whatever. I'm rolling with it.

"So 100011_1000001, might as well start with some of the basics, how long have you been working with AWS?" Er...I hadn't except personal dabbling. I have no idea why they start with that because I didn't apply for an AWS position. Give them my best answer. "Do you have any admin experience?" Er...in college as a side job.

My answers are not horrible, but it's obvious that their questions don't match the job I applied for. Because why would I apply for something I don't know? I try to nicely ask them if they are interviewing me for the wrong job. Which is really confusing because my friend send me the link, and he is right there, but something is off with him. He hasn't said a word and acting aloof.

The job I applied for did "change", it was to admin AWS based tools. We kind of laugh it off and I basically told them that I am going to screen myself and say I am not fit for this specific job, so might as well save them time.

Friend was still quiet.

So I failed the interview spectacularly with a lot of awkwardness for me. I haven't blushed for a decade, but I was blushing big time.

Fast forward six months later I found out what happened. The friend was in heavy debt. He pinged everyone that was semi-competent that he knew and got all their resumes and would apply for jobs in his company impersonating us. He was hoping to get the $5k sign on bonus his company was offering enough times to get out of debt. It's also why I never got the interview meeting, he had miss-typed my email address.
Is it? Even outside of sales tax, it's additional accounting overhead to handle the withholding and filing for states you aren't in. No idea how much, I would imagine it's dependent on the systems in use, but the organizational incentives for allowing and enabling it are probably horribly misaligned for many companies.
I was going to say the Canadian government goes to great lengths to insure that their culture doesn't become completely Americanized.
> We should drop gif support.

We just need an actual replacement that has the same behaviours and actually works everywhere, as gif does. Videos are not a replacement, and other image formats don't work everywhere
We have known how to build better, safer nuclear for quite some time. That’s what “next generation” means to me.

The newly launched Hyundai EV car Ioniq 5 supports charging and can provide electricity source to other electrical appliances including other EV. This feature is officially called Vehicle-to-Load or V2L, and Hyundai not only includes the charging cable for the car but also a special adapter for the V2L capability. That's how you should sell your electrical goods, by providing the necessary cables to your poor customers, wink >< iPhone >< wink
And yet, this will stimulate the culture sector by giving 18-year-olds demand that contributes to gdp.
There's also something ritualistic about in-person lectures -- in a good way, like having a morning cup of coffee. We know that humans are not good at multi-tasking, so there is tremendous value in a dedicated time and place to think about one thing only in the presence of other people who are also thinking about that one thing.

Of course, it's easy to squander that opportunity by delivering a rote, feelingless lecture. And if you're just going to lay out the facts, why not record them? In that case, videos have many advantages. But a live lecture is also an opportunity to get people excited about what you're teaching.

Post-pandemic, my plan is to take a hybrid approach. Technical details, like proofs, belong in pre-recorded videos watched out-of-class. But the main conceptual thread should be delivered in live lecture, where I can give it the energy and life it deserves.
He's just a pretender to the throne. His claim to an extinct house is barely better than mine.
That doesn't change your post and obvious inclinations.
It did until I was locked out of the dns and an internal reorganization and structure was put in place. The screenshots from former staff agenda is on the PDF.

I don’t wish to be on irc 24/7 contrary to what people might or might not think.
JIT doesn’t seem like the big optimization that Rails needs. Rails has low throughput because you have to run multiple full-fat instances of rails to handle requests in parallel or multiple beefy threads to handle requests concurrently. Either way you’re spending a huge amount of ram to add a small amount of throughput.

JIT only adds a marginal improvement to this current setup.

A true async backend like Falcon adds a huge amount of concurrent throughput if tuned correctly and ractors could provide a big parallelism boost if they shared more memory.
How big was it?
They don't need culture, they need challenging and interesting constructive work, such as computer programming in a low barrier to entry environment.

Unfortunately for them, it is not easy to start a business anymore.
The "hypocrite commit" project was using the kernel developers to further Kangjie Lu's career goals. Aditya was using the kernel developers' time to further his research project, his static analyzer. There's no material difference.
Sidenote: This may be a case where the kids don't have it easier today, as many people I know say that tables were much easier than today's CSS3+ grids and flexbox layout systems.
I think the big concerns with matrix.org centralisation are:

* If matrix.org went away tomorrow, is there enough capacity in the rest of matrix for users to migrate to.

* Federation only exists when a channel has users from multiple homeservers on it - how many small/medium channels only exist on matrix.org?

* People's identities are tied to their home server. You would be userfoo:matrix.org - if matrix.org went away, how would you find all your contacts again?

Points 1 and 2 would be addressed by more capacity and more independent homeservers, point 3 would require some sort of multi-homing.
Check out my groundbreaking research. I smashed windows on 20 buildings and took cash out of their registers. In order to fix this vulnerability, I suggest you make everyone who passes by your building sign this piece of paper saying they won't smash your windows and take your money. I will happily receive your nearest Nobel prize now, thank you.

Signed, UMN Researchers.

Edit: Wait, the cops are here. We sincerely apologize for any harm our research group did to your business. Our goal was to identify issues with the windows on your buildings and we are very sorry that the method used in the “smashing windows to take cash” paper was inappropriate.
These kinds of things make me angry. Lots of good French workers paid for those passes and will not get to enjoy the benefits because they aren't 18. I'd say if my country ever does this I will migrate to a worse place. Except that would be a lie. Hopefully they won't though.
I never heard about the limit of foreign restaurants. Fast food chains like McDonalds are absolutely everywhere. The food there however is significantly better than in the US.
>How to see past the clutter if you don't know what you're looking for?

the picture of the circle isn't clutter - in a very precise sense it is the definition (platonic ideal). the algebraic definition "x^2 = y^2 + z^2" clearly isn't the definition because it's missing things (which field is this polynomial over?). there are many other definitions (another is R/Z).

>mathematics notation or a programming language

notation isn't a formal language - there is no formal grammar written down somewhere and in fact there can be none (cf godel). whether you realize it or not it's a natural language that evolves, has slang, and is spoken to various degrees of competency by many successful mathematicians.
You can't compare yourself to someone that drives more than you do and use it to say anything about how much you pollute. Comparing to a small European sedan (or maybe a VW Golf) driving the same amount of miles would be more telling. Apples to grocery carts.

We've moved 5 times in the past 6 years and I spend a lot of time with outdoors hobbies (mountain biking, surfing -- pickups are hugely popular for both). But not owning a truck has never been an issue.
Instead of relying on a company to properly secure their ridiculously over-electronic, over-networked, software-based vehicles, I'd rather just keep driving an older vehicle which just doesn't have any of that in the first place. I have no need for any of that, it doesn't add any value for me.

I honestly don't know what I'm going to do in the future, there's no chance I'm ever going to buy a modern "car", it's going to get tougher and tougher to keep a real vehicle running after enough decades have passed. Of course a non-modern car is infinitely easier for the average individual person to maintain and keep running so I'll be able to keep going for a long time.
Yea but they tend to maximise profit.
I was invited to join a swiss VC group and the way they do it is you don't get to have an idea.
You do market analysis and form groups during 1 year of the scholarship and then build the product with a pyramid scheme return.

If you have your own idea it's believed that you love the idea a little too much unfortunately.
I think it is a good thing overall. I remember the furor when McDonalds opened on the Champs Elysee. Let's be honest, identical globalist fast food plastic frontages ruin the uniqueness of places. Airports are the ultimate example, you can fly 1000's of mile and get off a plane to an airport that is virtually identical to the one you left. This is culturally banal and slowly visually homogenizing the world. The result is insane amounts of tourists heading to the few unique places left in search of differentiation
> “In the 19th century, crackers were linked to Christian physiology and sectarian medical practitioners,” says Lisa Haushofer, a senior research associate at the University of Zurich’s Institute for Biomedical Ethics and History of Medicine. “Christian physiologists like Sylvester Graham, of Graham Cracker fame, were concerned about a modern diet that contained too many stimulating substances.”

This is priceless.
Sure, but Fuchs sometimes went to far. Nothing in the original should have triggered her to make Donald and Daisy cousins, who were dating after all. Relocating Duckburg, California, to Entenhausen, somewhere in Germany, also made things pretty awkward. I remember a picture of a map showing some kind of grand tour around towns spread over the entire continental USA. In Fuch's translation this turned into a few villages around some local hill in her neighborhood... You need to change quite a lot to cover up such a decision, but it will never be very convincing. :)
I'd recommend watching Max Miller's Tasting History on youtube - it's a fun nerdy diversion of old cooking, which includes old, rare, and unusual spices.

The french government openly recognize they got the idea from Italy.
He's also not really the crown prince. It's been disputed, as the previous crown prince was disputed as well.
I read the whole PDF and I think I speak for a lot of people when I say it doesn't really make anything clear at all.

Your claim of ownership over Freenode isn't news; it's one detail that both sides of this controversy seem ready to agree on: someone named christel somehow sold you an IRC network 5 years ago, unbeknownst (until recently) to the people operating the IRC network on their own servers.

What is the PDF meant to clarify beyond that?
Collective guilt is a self-focused emotion, says science
Esperantists have been pointing this out for over a century now. As others have noted, this isn't just a problem with English, but the choice of any national language as a lingua franca. If we choose Esperanto instead of English as our language for international communication, we are all second-language learners, and no one has the advantage of being the native speaker. Plus, since Esperanto has so few idioms, we'll all be better understood.
As I said, the part that is unclear is how much “freenode limited” owns.

The core of freenode- the servers themselves- are sponsored and owned by third parties. The volunteers maintaining the infrastructure are not affiliated with the corporation either.

So really what this whole mess has boiled down to is what is the delineation between freenode limited and freenode-the-volunteer-run-sponsored-network. Andrew believes he owns everything, and the former staff believe he only owns the name, trademark, and potentially the website/domain.
This is a bit of a straw man. The govt. doesn't need to support all habits. What it needs to do is support a stable and prosperous society.

The drug war can be won, but it will be compassion, empathy, and the invisible hand of the market that wins it. If there's high demand for something illegal, and there's a bunch of negative externalities to the illegal trade, it seems smarter to have some moderated legal trade to put the illegal trade out of business.

A relatively simple plan that isn't perfect but is arguably much better than what we have today would be something like this: if you are a drug addict, you can get a drug test to prove you are hooked, and then get on a free but gently tapered government supply with optional therapy. "Club" drugs that people will generally do sporadically (cocaine, MDMA, shrooms) are sold over the counter with either a positive drug test or a street sample, limited with a personal use quota. The government drugs are all chemically tagged or variants not available on the street, so it will be possible to detect and respond to diversion.

As a drug dealer, this would be a nightmare, since all your best customers will disappear, and you can't even smurf the government supply because your smurfs keep getting caught clean (diverting) and get their supply cut off.
I am not twisting anything. If I had not read the PDF then how would I know christel was desperate?

Why is it so important for the Freenode community that you own the domain? Because as far as I can tell, the Freenode community moved to Libera.chat and made a much nicer website that doesn't have an ad on it for some kind of unrelated VM service prominently featured on the home page. And they have moved the chat rooms also.
Yes, this law will disproportionately benefit sellers of labor with a worse supply/demand situation. Price transparency is always better for the party (buyer or seller) in the worse supply/demand situation.
All good things if you ask me.

Also, this measure is not really about french culture. It is about culture in general. If you visit an art museum most of time it's filled with art from everywhere. The quai Branly museum comes to my mind here, but really most museum have exhibits of foreign works.
Incorrect based on 50% of trucks on the road today being absolutely pristine, and simply looking at commercials and their wording ("commanding the road")
It's appreciated and looks great.
This is surprising. Last I checked performance was better than node.

Are you taking into account JVM warmup time ? Also does the JVM have adequate memory (thinking of GC thrashing)?

Those are Excel math. They run what-ifs without considering the dynamics of leaving itself. Any fallout can easily be brushed off as oops. No one will get punished. Meanwhile, if the math turns out to be true, they get all the credits. I can see it is all upside and very little downside. What we need is really a social contract with retaliation clause, something along with what the movie purge would balance it out as it should be. This is happens frequently in the east but not much in the west.
The worst is when the hiring managers have to go thru with interviewing N people who applied to comply with policy.

Can you do this with an xor and popcount? I suppose that's what the author is implying when they say the compiler takes care of this.
There are millions of F150s. If you get into an accident what is the probability it is with an F150? Or an SUV or something bigger that requires a commercial driving license.

We also know that speed kills and people are driving faster today than ever before.
Have you considered renting a truck for a day or two around those events? I think the rate I’ve seen is like 20/day.
> In Germany, Donald Duck comics are extremely popular, outselling even superheroes like Superman.

I remember being shocked a few years ago when I learned that the hero of my childhood, and in my opinion one of the greatest comic book artist of all time (only surpassed by the master himself, Carl Barks, of course), is virtually unknown in the US: Don Rosa [0]. I read an interview once where he confessed that his neighbor doesn't know what he does.

The death of Carl Barks also went largely unnoticed in the US, I think. In Germany, it was prime time national news.

That would be more interesting, something that could handle a UTF-8 string in a similar situation (I guess you'd compare the bytes and then do a walk to see if it was part of a multi-byte character? Maybe the high-bit would help?).
>transparent info and pricing

Sure, "transparent" pricing that can change on a whim, even after you've purchased the product. "Take-it-or-leave-it" delivery if you find flaws with your car.

>Step three is me checking on the cyber truck status.

Let me know when you take delivery of a Cybertruck for <40k, similar pricing to the Model 3, like the "transparent info" claims.

> Use labels instead of relying on placeholders

I manytimes wondered why Material UI made placeholders as mainstream in their design (https://material-ui.com/components/text-fields/#textfield). Small label that comes above when a value is set is not visible easily.
Agreed, but my point is as long as you get to signal the image, the actual performance of the vehicle is secondary for most. Including yours truly.
I bet the people excited about oversized trucks have never walked in a city for more than 5 minutes.
That is the openBSD model. Or at least it was 10 years ago when I last looked into it.

The new Lightning comes in around 6500 lbs. Maybe you saw a number for the old Lightning from the 90s, which was around 4600 lbs.
Agree with your first point.

> Unless they are a flagship megacorp with well known salary bands and staff levels, and they are not disclosing the salary, then you know it's not competitive salary.

Frankly that's not been my experience. I find that especially on the senior level, the variance is so high for what a person could make in a role that publishing the range would just be meaningless. Thus, I take the "lack of range" as a non-signal.
There's nothing about DNS in the meeting notes that I can see.
Thanks for answering my question even though I posted it a day after this thread started.

I'm glad to hear that. One of my computers is actually using Wayland with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, but I haven't actually checked if it worked yet.
Non-competes are unenforceable in a lot of places. And even if they weren't, the time scales for a startup to evolve into a serious market mover is longer than most non-compete contracts last anyway.

A founder of a now-popular startup worked for Google eight years ago, so what? Let's say Google remembers and decides to pursue action. They'd spend another 3-4 years suing a person who has a mountain of plausible deniability to hide behind. And for what? There's no real gain to Google for this.
