Like clockwork. No, showing faults in others does not mitigate yours. Nothing productive came towards verifying this study by showing alleged faults in others.
You're not meant to go backwards in the alphabet.

Going upwards gives the illusion of escalation, creating more panic.
>If you've hired over 20 people, and 19 of them have been bad, it just sounds like there's something wrong with your process.

I think this is part of the reason for the widespread usage of take home / coding assignments etc.

If you have a bad process making people do some work improves your result.

I remember the first company I had with a friend in the late 90s and our process sucked. It was embarrassing, although thinking about it we still had a 50% success rate in technical quality of people we hired. If we had given tests to the people we didn't have someone to vouch for it would have meant we did not make the mistakes we did. And by saying we had a bad process we had a bad firing process as well. The bad hires we made really were catastrophic because we couldn't handle any part of the process.
Does the extra connector reduce the quality of the USB-C signal? I am asking because my current notebook seems already a bit flaky with a 4K 60Hz display connected via USB-C, especially with an extra docking station in between. DP and HDMI directly from the notebook seem a bit more stable.
> In my experience, for a pure engineering role, nobody seems to care.

I am interviewing a lot of people. I look very suspicious at these kinds of moves to try to impress me.

I don't necessarily ignore, but I try to figure out if this is some kind of shallow engagement.

It impresses me if you can stick to something meaningful and do it regularly for years but you can just as well hurt your chances if you propose 5 simple commits to random projects on Github to be your greatest accomplishment.

A blog about programming is not going to impress me if you are still junior engineer. Rather, it is worrying. I always remind people to learn something first before you try to teach other people.

I will still want to see you code yourself out of a paper bag.
It’s probably a controversial opinion, but when it comes to certain subjects like accepting homosexuality or just accepting the existence of trans people, it is no longer politics - not doing so is a moral failing. That’s not left-leaning anymore than believing that war crimes are bad.

While reddit is actually left leaning in a more purely political view as well, I don’t find conservative viewpoints banned/discriminated against that are actually political, only those that are anti-people — which is welcome.

You're looking at it through rose tinted glasses. Blizzard has always been about a cartoonish look. That's why I like their games. Realism always falls into the "uncanny valley" territory for me.
You do not need FreeBSD jails if you have Linux containers; even so, jails are better for most sysop tasks. Likewise I much prefer KVM to Bhyve.

No. First off, we still haven't had the level of death that we had in 1918, and almost certainly won't. Second, the narrative of vaccinated individuals being major spreaders of this disease is false. The virus is evolving due to mutations occurring while hopping from one unvaccinated person to another, full stop.

Then it would have to be funded with local taxes. Why should people with a median salary pay taxes so that someone can get a UBI that is higher than the median salary?

Or you could just get rid of money hoarding and land hoarding. Just think about it. The time people spend unemployed or underemployed is gone but the money isn't. Thus the value of the claim to labor (money) is greater than what the economy can support. The inevitable result is inequality just from a pure logical perspective. The conventional solution had been to just let the economy grow endlessly so that the economy becomes strong enough to support all the freeloaders. Alternatively you let inflation act as a soft default on that unsustainable claim to labor.

Things like stocks and land are valuable because they do economic work. Land yields minerals, or hosts useful homes, shops, factories etc that provide services people need. Companies also provide needed goods and services. They are productive. They don’t just store value, they generate it. Their value is based on their ability to do economic work. This is why investment in companies is a good thing, it capitalises them so that they can expand, hire more workers, provide more and better products.

Bitcoin is like gold. It does have a few economically useful functions, but it’s main actual use is purely as a store of value. It’s price is driven by speculation. That's a pure value store.

Money in an economy is like oil in an engine, it reduces economic friction. It’s a substitute for barter. In principle it represents the value of economic work to produce goods or provide services. When I save money in a month I might spend it years later, but the thing I buy might have been manufactured before I was even born, or I might put a down payment on something yet to be made. It doesn’t matter, what matters is the value it has to me at that time. Being able to delay purchases until the time when you know what you need is an incredibly valuable benefit that eliminates huge amounts of waste.
I’ve just watched Episode 5 NeoHabitat (https://means.tv/programs/preservingworlds?cid=1699451), about how a museum revived the game server and it is now possible to play it in a browser, as an alternative to the C64 client. I never played it back in the day, but this documentary seems to give a good overview.

This year I’ve been doing contract maintenance work on the server part of its successor, WorldsAway, which is still running as https://www.vzones.com/

The server is C++ and runs on Solaris 8. I’ve enjoyed going through that old code from around 1996, it was well made. Over the years, changes were tacked on here and there until the server was crashing often, which is why I was hired to work on it. After some clean-up and increasing the capacity of some data structures it is running smoothly again.

Being paid for this gave me the excuse I needed to finally buy a Sun workstation, a used Sun Blade 150 I got for 100 € fully expanded to 2 GB of RAM, and I love it. Had to replace a couple of fans after cleaning up ancient dust blocks. I also put an IDE to SATA adapter with an Intel SSD, but that did not improve compile times: I guess the whole source code fits in RAM so once it’s buffered the disk speed does not matter. It does speed up a lot though when rsync’ing the source tree from my main workstation.
I am harmed by having an old phone with removable back panel and battery, but the contemporary market having no meaningful choice of such phones. I'm harmed by having to spend an hour "debloating" every single phone on the planet and still being susceptible to Pegasus.

Even if I purchase a PinePhone, there is no way for me to show the disdain in engineering malpractice of other brands. That is what I mean. Buying a pinephone does not send a message that "I really like the samsung S10 but I wish it had a removable panel." Buying a pinephone instead of a S10 says "I dislike the entirety of the S10 as well as every other phone, without discrimination.". There is no way to vote down specific products short of leaving a review nobody will read. So neutral votes are a bug - you end up giving your money to a corporation either way, so the system is biased to corporations making money.
True. However, because viral fatigue and related complications are generally present among symptomatic people (and 20-somethings are less symptomatic than other age-cohorts) it might well be that your risk of these things is also lower-- even if, conditioned on being symptomatic, the risk of "long-COVID" in 20-somethings is higher. I think the jury is still out regarding risk ratios for long-COVID, however-- partly because the pathology is rather ill-defined and still developing.

The more important point is just that viral fatigue and respiratory complications are not new things. They are present for a range of viruses. The mere existence of these factors is not pertinent to the "public good" point that the original comment centered on.
The vaccinated represent nearly 2/3 of the population of Israel, moreover vaccinated people are more likely to let down their guard.

Maybe they didn't understand how GitHub works exactly? In the first weeks of me using github, I didn't notice the star feature, so I just forked a project, so I have it on my list. Even today, if I see an important repository, I just fork the repo if I'm afraid the original author will delete the repo.
Whenever I come back to writing JavaScript after a long break, I always forget how to correctly return objects from lambda expressions, and end up with this:

() => {
foo: "bar";
baz: "qux";
}

Thankfully TypeScript warns me it's a ()=>void function instead of whatever was expected in the context. I scratch my head for a while and then remember:

() => ({
foo: "bar",
baz: "qux"
});

That reminded me of a much more extreme story from Derek Sivers' Your Music and People, although the situation is very different. In comparison, your recruiter's tactic seems very reasonable and makes perfect sense. Also, they might/should want employees who think outside the box, don't accept apparent limits etc. The story:

Repeatedly follow-up to show you care

I knew a music publicist in New York City when she was at the peak of her success. A few of her clients had hits, so everyone wanted to work with her. She was flooded with new music.

Here’s how she dealt with the flood:

Whenever someone sent their music, it would go into an inbox. That inbox was completely ignored.

Whenever someone contacted her to follow-up the first time, to ask if she’d received it, she would take their music out of that first inbox, and put it in a second inbox. That second inbox was also ignored.

Then if they followed-up with her a second time, asking again if she’d had the chance to listen, she would take their music out of the second inbox, and put it in a third inbox. That third inbox would get a listen if she had some spare time.

Finally, if they followed-up a third time, she would take their music out of the third inbox, and make it a priority to give it a real listen.

She saw the shocked look on my face, as she described her system. So she explained:

“I can’t listen to everyone, so I can’t know who’s got the best music. But the ones who follow-up show they’ve got the tenacity and drive to succeed. As long as their music is also good, then those are the ones I want to work with.”

It wasn’t ego. It was just a practical way to deal with a
flood, and a pretty good filter for choosing new clients.
Maybe nobody else has an official system like this. But unofficially, they do. Overwhelmed people don’t have time for all the random first-contacts. Patience and persistence separate you from the rest, and show how much you care.
There are visceral reactions (I’m pretty sure you can catch yourself doing the same from time to time as well), but my opinion/experience is that well-meaning and well-explained comments are well-received in most of the not-completely echo-chamber subreddits.
If I ever become a CEO of a software company, I'm pretty sure I'll miss coding in months time. This is a really good example for the future (if it works) that you can still be a SE and own the company at the same time
No. I don't like it either, but Windows is useful compared to the other listed operating systems. The graph doesn't carry a meaning, since it isn't normalized for distribution and the question doesn't answer anything about the vulnerability of a system.

10 years ago I wouldn't have imagined that I praise Windows for its openness due to general computing, but the other candidates here aren't convincing. MacOS might be an exception still, but it causes even more problems than Linux in corporate environments.

It would be nice to have some domain infrastructure for Linux, as that would be a far more secure future for private corporate networks. And not only because of the malware threat.
> Here is a Kea playing with traffic cones

They're not just playing. They figured out that by moving the cones into a traffic lane they can get vehicles to stop.

Cars often have to stop here as it's a one lane tunnel so the kea wait around to receive food or play with people/vehicles.

Genetic Algorithm for Register Allocation
They have been around since the first standard and basically only exist as a hack around an ancient non ascii compatible encoding. So unless you got burned in 1995 nothing about them was new.

They also aren't very consistent between C derived languages. Mostly because C# inherited its versions from VisualBasic, where And is a bitwise operator instead of a short circuiting one.
> Rather than seeing the last five years as an anomaly, what happens when policy makers see this is a historical problem that is here to stay?
Does the analogy really work, though? Is RAM more akin to tires or some other component like the fuel tank?

I'd argue existence of interchangeable commodity components in computing has been very abnormal and because of the direction the "computer market" is going, I'm not sure how much longer it'll persist.

For now, it's still most profitable for the manufacturers and OEMs to source cheap interchangeable parts from many sources. If the industry consolidates even more, though, it may be more profitable to vertically integrate. That was the way before the PC clone market. Hopefully not, but we'll see.

They didn't claim anything that strong. They claimed that some COVID misinformation is easily identifiable as false. They were silent on many other statements, whereas you think they said that all statements are easily distinguishable as true or false. Indeed, it's complete fantasy, but you're arguing against a strawman.

But then we need something to interface with the db. Getting any programming language installed isn't going to happen in government.
Agreed. In the early stages "correction" of the overall score is still possible, and it does happen that the initial votes don't reflect the sentiment of the community at all.

But that said maybe this system only flags a user when it's done too excessively. On average I'd say most users upvote mainly positive or neutral comments, after all downvoted comments are often downvoted for a reason and also make up the minority. If a user however upvotes more negative comments than positive ones that is at least unusual.

Three years ago, we had a month in Australia, and drove through the SA wine regions and then the coast road to Melbourne. Some time after crossing the border, we stopped at a town Lorne which was much like the previous coastal town, except instead of gulls there were cockatoos everywhere. One flew in close to show interest at chips on my plate, turning its head to size me up - would it be worth making an attempt? I turned towards it, it sidled away awkwardly.
I think rate limits & bans are mainly horror stories. Limits are 100/100 seconds per user, I think what most companies miss is that they need to send the token of the users, your token also work but it count all against your limit, while user tokens count towards user limits. In any case we are building our own simple spreadsheet (JSON to table) so companies can build directly into that without relying on Google Sheets.

Inequality actually started falling in many states from 2010 to 2018 driven by wage rises for low income families and a tighter labour market, but obviously the pandemic has messed everything up since then. Still, I do think the effects in play before the pandemic are still there.

The reasoning is that wages in developed countries were depressed because many of them were competing with cheap Chinese labour. Now Chinese labour isn’t as cheap so that competition isn’t as fierce.
