It isn't just a matter of values clustering around the average; values aren't evenly distributed so just scaling doesn't improve it at all. You have to tune a smoothstep specifically to it, and past 4d you need multiple smoothsteps. Even with that it's gonna look different, and it's just overall not ideal.

For instance if you're writing graphics effects and you have a 3d noise that you want to transition to a 2d noise if it's farther away or not intersected, you'll get a noticeable change in the visual feel that you have to go back and fix.

still being hypocrite doesnt make you wrong
This is sadly true. We need to return back to the Unix Philosophy of do one thing and do it well. None of these multi-purpose tools that have terrible feature creep and try to take over everything cough systemd cough. In all seriousness though, a lot of software that should be simple and easy to audit ends up having all these dependencies that are ether no longer maintained or doesn't get the necessary code reviews and it isn't until stuff like this happens that it actually comes to light.

I'm all for re-using code when rebuilding the wheel would be a hassle but it has to be balanced with proper code review before it should be included. Developers are much too quick to include outside code with the assumption that other people have already done the necessary reviews and this is where a lot of devs are getting bit.

All great until you come across someone with a permanent poker face. During my last interview, the interviewer was frowning the whole time.
Different cultures generally get exposed to foreign substances due to imperialism and capitalism, see the opium wars.

It’s obvious that original cultures have their own traditional substances, from fly agaric to psilocybe shrooms to cava to ayahuasca. They would be taken as a part of a prosocial setting, an initiation or a healing ceremony, and the inebriation would be seen as a transformative process: something that enables living fully. Alcohol, on the other hand, tends to only disable and provide a means to escape stress.

What happens to the aforementioned shaman culture once western values and substances are introduced?

I would assume the increase in ego-centric stress drives the population into escape mode, and the imperialist offers alcohol.
This isn't a great example to me. I doubt the interviewers would disagree that the actual code in MVC runs at the "application tier".

I think they were just trying to elicit the idea that the model defines interaction with the database and that the view defines interaction with the browser client. That there is some relation there between MVC and 3-tier architecture. The Wikipedia snippet that disputes any relationship seems overly pedantic to me.

Though all moot to me since there's very little real world pure MVC or pure "3-tier" anyway. For good reason.
You think that’s bad? I have been upset at Rubbermaid for months, because I bought some $6 buckets that cannot pour more than a trickle without spilling their contents everywhere. That brand used to be a favorite of mine, but I now plan to avoid buying any of their products for as long as I can remember that they hire obviously incompetent industrial designers.

It sounds like I should proactively add Bosch to my list of companies that demonstrate dedicated leadership in the race to the bottom. I will still consider their brand and products, but more as a cautionary example than as a viable option.

I don’t agree that you can exist in a pure “logic” state outside of this model. If you pay taxes and have opinions about that, you exist somewhere on this spectrum and it’s highly likely that your ideology is influencing your logic (which does exist for all ideologies even if we don’t agree with it).
At a certain point in your career, you'll start finding that the current TL you'd be joining often doesn't have the same context as you do. It can be threatening for junior leadership to onboard someone who has extra capabilities beyond what they do, and a big part of your job in these situations is to rock the boat...slowly.

Bear in mind, many TLs are in their current role by virtue of having a good idea, supportive management, trust of their team and good/lucky execution. This combination of activities can easily mean that you have a great up and coming TL with ~3 years of experience. Management may be bringing in more senior talent as the upscaling product requires it, but that doesn't mean you start with the same trust, management support, ideas, or in-house knowledge as the TL.

In such a situation, setting out to prove that you can outsmart the junior TL as your first contribution seems suspect...

Bear in mind that often successful companies, have many inexperienced leaders due to growth.

That is most definitely untrue, especially with the nowadays. If I steal someones credit card information in Australia and use it, I am most definitely breaking Australian law even though I never set foot on Australian soil. My company had a ransomware attack in Germany, the people committing the crime did not reside in Germany, we still filed charges in Germany and the attackers did break German law. The police did of course not tell us:"Oh well, the attackers don't live in Germany, so no law was broken."
Yes, they were drastically different. Xerox built their own systems. Look up the Dolphin and Alto, they were basically minicomputer-class systems with custom CPUs built out of 74 series and bitslice components, no single-chip microprocessor. And very expensive.

It wasn't until the mid to late 80s that microprocessor systems built around the 68k series were able to run Smalltalk 80 well. And that was with Tektronix and others spending thousands of man hours developing techniques to implement the VM well. And many of those systems were still basically dedicated to Smalltalk and cost a fortune.
I used to do a very stupid magic trick where I would have someone pick a card and then shuffle it back into the deck. I would shuffle a few more times while asking them to focus on their card. Then I would ask them to name their card. They did. I would put down the deck and say "not only have I found your Ten of Clubs..." and then I would look at the top card and finish with "...but I have changed it into the Ace of Spades".

Every once in a while, purely by luck, the correct card would be at the top. In which case I would just change the second line to "...but I have brought it to the top of the deck for you". My sister begged me to tell her how I did it for years.

Right, of people who die from mushroom poisoning, they are almost all either immigrants eating things that look like edible mushrooms where they come from, or else children who are randomly eating things they see in their lawn. Cases like this where you have someone who has been foraging for decades and eats something deadly poisonous happen maybe once every ten years, and I suspect it's mostly people with early onset Parkinson's or something that's causing them to act impulsively. This isn't an identification mistake, there's clearly some kind of neurological issue here.
I'm not saying it wasn't a bad decision, I'm saying it's very understandable why people did what they did. Calling them stupid rednecks is very easy and makes you feel better than them but it's lazy and untrue.
The "killer feature" for XML, for me, has been XSL — a language dedicated to transformation of XML. OTOH, there's only one high-quality open-source implementation of that language.

Having spent a lot of time in XSL, I think its core feature is the matching-and-synchronization story. Essentially, every XSL template can be cut up into a sequence of CPS blocks that perform a mapping operation on the sub-calls to apply-templates.

Porting the matching & template apply syntax to Python is fairly easy — the ergonomics are great! The problem is that mapping operation is functionally impossible for me to implement, efficiently, in Python with parallelism. The result is that even though the big implementations of XSL are 100-1000x slower than Python in terms of serial computation, they handily beat Python in deeply concurrent constructs.

My understanding of `asyncio` is insufficient for me to determine if it's even possible to map `asyncio` onto multiprocess pools and get back the data at the yield point.

And — even if it were possible — the batteries-included version of ElementTree reloads & reparses the entire document in every subprocesses, completely destroying the performance.
The point isn't that a stove uses more than a container ship -- where did you get that idea? It's that "I can't figure out how to work an electric stove" is a relatively frivolous reason to burn fossil fuels.
Yes, and many of this things are "in general" not well supported by anything but adobe PDF.

Even most simple interactive things can easily not work correctly even in more widely spread PDF readers.

IMHO PDF is in many ways worse then HTML, it's just that this ways are less commonly used, but if you start a PDF instead of HTML trend it's just a matter of time until this "not so compatible" aspects of PDF become widely used by some people.

I think the underlying assumption here, is that it is better for your job prospects to agree with something you know is wrong, in order to avoid confrontation.

I don't think this should be the default recommended advice. It could just as well cost you the job, if you are interviewed by two people, with the other also knowing what his or her colleague said was wrong, and being disappointed you didn't find a way of politely disagreeing.

In job interviews, I would count it as a positive if I could see that the candidate could handle disagreement. That is in my view more important than getting a rather generic technical question "correct".
I dot get it either. The only link I see is that they're 'communications' company's
Can't see the article, but for me the reason why XML is bad (still not as bad as YML) is the lack of support for some control characters.

Char ::= #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF]

There's no good reason to do this (even null character, although C will not like it).
Yeah, but there's an epistemic/cultural issue at play. There's an entire thread below where Mathematicians are aggressively objecting to me demonstrating some of those alternative notions to the point of calling the realizations of my designs "wrong" even though the reification is equivalent to the design.

But in the extreme case you can also construct universes which only speak of inequalities (total order) as a rejection of the identity axiom.

In that universe Peter Parker and Spider Man are different entities, and so what you can and can't say about them is entirely down to judgment.

The most important question is WHY do you want to say anything about anything and who do you want to say it to?

It's difficult to encode any information in language without knowing who is going to be decoding it.
I was also thinking something along the line of whether you'd even want to work somewhere like that. But I guess not everyone is in a position to be so picky about their employment or maybe it would be a gateway to other opportunities.

> Make sure http2 is activated

HTTP/2 suffers from Head-of-Line blocking, which may impede rather than help speed up the connection. In most cases, this doesn't happen, but when they do happen it's consistent. Testing is required, because there are cases where HTTP/2 backfires spectacularly.

> That assets that never change are cached

Fair point, I also strongly recommend this. Plus, if your server supports statically compressing resources ahead of time it pays serious dividends (and activating Brotli, if you can custom compile applications or lucky to use a distribution that built it).

> And if possible use a hosting provider in the same country your users are located.

In Europe, this is relatively easy. In the US and Russia, probably two servers (for East and West coast/okrugs). In Asia? Surprisingly difficult, unless you're in East Asia (I'm not discussing why here since there's plenty of resources to learn more about why it's a pain in the rear). Africa? Actually, despite improvements in connectivity I strongly recommend to make the pages small and simple (as the requirements allow).
Do you want to have that discussion with your team-lead almost fully cold, in front of his superior? Because in the article, that is the key point. The applicant was totally willing to go into a fair discussion about the pattern.

However, doing that in front of the tech-lead his boss is likely to be different from a fair discussion. Disagreement about technical architecture is fine. Doing so in front of higher management is likely a different ball game.
Biospheric carbon is miniscule compared to atmospheric carbon. Not only that, the biosphere is not a permanent carbon-sink. The extra 30% plant growth in spring becomes 30% extra carbon from plant decay in fall.

And regardless, any effect that increased plant growth rates provide is already factored into our runaway atmospheric carbon rate.
> As a colorblind person I just wished we as a society moved past using color for markings on anything.

This needs a "solely" inserted, as in "using solely color for markings".

Color is a great indicator for a lot of people and much faster to grasp than symbols. It just needs to be complemented by other markers.

---

But FWIW I don't agree with the color assignments for 2 reasons:

- it doesn't jive with color associations, blue/green should be "better" but TB is yellow. (TB cables are "best")

- it doesn't have space for future cables which I'm sure will add to this mess, at least 2 spare colors in the "better" direction would be great.

Maybe it will make you feel better to know that this is not exclusive to it. For example, in Finance, there is something called the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) certification, that let's you break into financial analysis at about a 5th of FAANG salaries.

You can take it...wait for it - once a year. There are 3 parts. Admittedly, you can take the first part twice a year.

Anyway, average prep time is worse than for, say, GCP Architect - so basically they ask you to budget 6 months and 300 hours. That is a LOW starting amount.

And you know what passing it usually gets you? Nothing.

Then there are the actuarial exams which are worse. There is the Professional Engineer cert in engineering. CPA for accountants. 12 years of med school for doctors. Etc.

IT does NOT have it that bad at all. Keep that in mind.

P.S. I do think studying for FAANG interviews pretty much ensures you learn your school curriculum if you haven't already.

Also - how are PDFs exactly "discoverable"? I have petabytes of PDFs and making them easily "discoverable" for any mass use, such as analytics, search, or data analysis is a massive pain. I'd rather have them in a non-PDF format.
EPUB is an under-appreciated format that I think can serve as a short to mid-term storage for human knowledge. Can reasonably re-flow itself when necessary, no language run-time required, just a full Unicode support at least at the level of the time the file was published.
