Do the accommodations as stated not make you think that cheating an interview will become very easy?

"I need extra time for my interview" and "I'm uncomfortable with a phone call" sounds like a very easy way to get third party help without anybody being the wiser.

And again, that flies in the face of their attempt to actually level the playing field.
I think people get blinded by status quo bias.

Imagine we were operating with 100% EVs today, would people be advocating for adding in gasoline tech as hybrids?
Oh totally agree that they are bating you into being a frightened animal holed up in your house. So i turn off the notifications and only go on the app if i am bored or if there's something happening locally i want to know more about.

The citizen app is especially egregious but it's not the only app that does this. Unfortunately all social apps that rely on engagement have to create a false perception of the world in order to maximize engagement. The government is not going to regulate the UX design here. It's up to the individual to learn of their dystopian reality.

I personally don't really want to know about every single crime but if I had the choice I would choose for every single crime to be captured on video. You can call it a police state or vigilante state but I'm fine with that.
Your experience with engines then is very different from my own and that of the wider chess community. The general consensus is that playing computers at any strength is both counterproductive and unfulfilling. They do indeed make random blunders if you lower their search depth. The engine will play brilliant moves for any tactic that falls within the search depth, but fail miserably for tactics that fall one ply outside of it. Humans function very differently to computers: they evaluate a fraction of the positions, but use a much more sophisticated evaluation function. There is no way of emulating human weakness with such a vastly different style of computation.

Here is a game I just played that illustrates this phenomenon:

https://lichess.org/PiIFqI2c/black

The engine plays well before making a series of random blunders no human would make. You can try this yourself by playing the different Stockfish levels on lichess.org. You will be unable to find a level that makes for an enjoyable game. There are some new engines that use neural networks to try and play similarly to how humans do [1]. I can't comment on their success, but their lack of wide adoption by the chess community signals to me that it is still incomparable to humans.

There's no point in calling the police when you hear a gunshot anywhere near Chicago. For one, you probably heard fireworks. For another, calling them doesn't accomplish anything. What are they even supposed to do about random gun shots?
yes, that the theory. In practice, "DevOps" is 100% a position and he/she will probably be on the hook for uptime etc.

I don't agree with any of that, but that's how the cookie has crumbled.
Yes, without knowing the world of chess or morphy it is difficult to understand the quote.

In his defense I don't think morphy intended for people outside the chess world as a general statement.
Who's surprised here?

Disclosure: I know nothing about crypto. I've maybe transacted $300 of it, maximum, in my lifetime. But Tether was obviously shady from the start. The insane social-media pushes, the "thought guards" who would scour crypto hashtags to spam whitepapers at Tether detractors, it all seemed way too sensational from the start.

As a side-note, I really do feel bad for the people who have poured their lives into becoming full-time cryptocurrency advocates when Bitcoin took off. I've always thought the technology had potential, it's obviously not a one-size-fits-all solution. It's basically binary search with a sex factor, which makes it all the more fascinating to watch it take off with wild, unfounded speculation pouring in from the finance sector.
Unless you are at a top 10 company, open floor plans are a cost-cutting measure. That's a red flag!
In my experience, removing that software is tricky as well.

Just because you only drive to the office and back does not mean that's the only place anyone might ever want to drive to.
I think the poster was just generalizing there. Playing chess at the GM level just requires an astounding leap in working memory and recall to be able to remember similar board positions and then further thoughts on end-game and mid-game macro strategy.

Chess playing ability is probably a good correlation with higher intelligence (if intelligence is measured by strong working memory)
Body cams are a silly idea in the first place. If you're so distrustful of your police that you feel the need to place cams on them, then you need to go back to the drawing board and address the root problem - the trustworthiness of your police force.

There's no reason to treat cops as second-class citizens. There's no evidence to suggest widespread power-abuse, despite all the FUD from BLM. Are there some bad apples? Sure, but there are bad apples in every profession and steps like that only punish good officers and make corrupt officers more careful when they perform misdeeds.

You cannot neuter the power of every profession of authority. All you're going to do is build instinctive and reflexive mistrust of anyone in authority before they've done anything wrong, just like the reflexive mistrust BLM has whenever anyone interacts with an African-American.

>> Can I watch the entire Tokyo Olympics on Peacock, including Opening and Closing Ceremonies?

No. Between Peacock and the NBC "family" of channels (NBC, USA, NBCSN), I can see a fair amount. That included the opening ceremony live and repeated in prime time.

Peacock does not have everything. It also has a screwed up schedule. (For example, looking for the replay of the women's cycling road race, it says it was earlier today, 26 July, when it was actually yesterday.)

Even worse, when watching a "replay" of an event, it will switch to something else. (I was watching a replay of the Japan-USA women's water polo match and it switched over to softball, twice.)

Peacock did have good Tour de France coverage; so, they know how to do some things right. I don't know why they dropped the ball on the Olympics.

I agree with your larger point, but I disagree with this bit:

> achieving great things when you're young requires a combination of hard work, privilege, and supportive adults (parents/teachers/etc) and most people just didn't (or don't) have the same opportunities.

I think that it's easy to externalize emotions about success in young people by projecting the help of an adult as the driving factor for that young person's success. Although this may be true in some cases, there are a large number of young motivated people who are just self-starters, with or without the resources of a backing adult.

I say this because, more than privilege or adult support, I think success at a young age boils down to hard work (as you've mentioned), having passion, and being prepared for luck, i.e. taking advantage of opportunities.

I think parents and teachers play a large role in the development of a person: this is obvious. What I'm not a fan of is when people lessen the success of a young person by shifting the accomplishment to be a simple cause of the environment in which they were raised, rather than the efforts and attitudes of the person who put the work in to accomplish what they did. Support ≠ doing it for them.

To summarize: I agree with your larger point (to not beat yourself up when seeing a great accomplishment at a young age) but disagree that success at a young age hinges on privilege and parents over luck and perseverance.
Fair, just emphasizing the similarities to his quote.
Unless you're a cop, in which it's usually just a minor disciplinary infraction.
Proof-of-stake is a strategy being used to make some cryptocurrencies more environmentally friendly. Instead of using lots of compute to compete create new bitcoins, cryptocurrencies using proof-of-stake, like Ethereum 2.0, dole out new coins to people relative to the amount of the currency they already own. Proof-of-stake uses orders of magnitude less compute than proof-of-work, so it's far more environmentally friendly.

Gas prices are transaction fees. Right now, both Bitcoin and Ethereum have high transaction fees - too high to use those currencies for small purchases. The high transaction fees are also delaying "Web 3.0" - new decentralized applications that use blockchains as databases. Once transaction fees go down (and Bitcoin's transaction fees have gone down a lot in the past couple of months), that will make cryptocurrencies practical for more purchases and applications.

I think I’m in the minority, I really miss working in a collocated team. I previously had a 30 minute bike commute, enjoyed having lunch with colleagues and solving problems together in person. Zoom and Slack will never be as good for me, I feel less connection with remote colleagues. I really hope WFH doesn’t become the default in all tech jobs
Let me just preface this by saying that I'm not anti-crypto. From what little I know about it, it's an interesting tech. I just literally don't understand _why_ people use it. So I dug in to what you mentioned.

Layer 2 Rollups

> Layer 2 is a collective term for solutions designed to help scale your application by handling transactions off the Ethereum mainnet (layer 1), while taking advantage of the robust decentralized security model of mainnet. Transaction speed suffers when the network is busy which can make the user experience poor for certain types of dapps. And as the network gets busier, gas prices increase as transaction senders aim to outbid each other. This can make using Ethereum very expensive.

So it makes Ethereum cheaper. As someone who doesn't really get the hype, this doesn't help at all. Making Ethereum cheaper doesn't help me if I don't have a reason to use Ethereum.

After Googling "ethereum proof-of-staking migration" my take away is that moving to proof-of-stake will make it more robust and more energy efficient. Again, it doesn't tell me anything about why I should use Ethereum (or any other cryptocurrency) in the first place.

Everything I read about crypto talks about how it's currency that can be produced by anyone* and blockchain inherently makes it possible to know who did what and when. As a layperson, none of this is interesting or useful. The average person isn't going to start mining, the average person isn't going to speculate on a very volatile market, and the average person has no way to spend any crypto that they own. I'm not saying it's your job to fix the optics here but I've read a ton of comments in this thread and not a single person has pointed to something that made me think "I could use that" and I'm the kind of person who likes to browse Github looking for weird things to try out.

Any evidence of that happening?
I mean there is still about the same amount of Tether in circulation (granted they stopped printing it). For the money to really move out it we would need to either see Tether supply shrinking or being moved to Tether own (or Bitfinex or any other of their sister companies) accounts. I am not following closely enough to know if that's the case, do you?
But again, who is harmed by extending these accommodations to everyone?
You raise good points and I am of the mind that this is a difficult problem without silver bullets.

I don't believe there is any way to create and vet a "100% bias-free guaranteed" interview process.

That said, our industry does have a reputation for being especially unwelcoming to women. It would be a shame if a candidate raised red flags and those flags went undetected or ignored in an attempt to be "inclusive".
I mean we've known how to store flammable gas for quite a while now. Welding tanks, oxygen tanks, propane tanks. Why would it be different from swapping out a propane tank in my gas grill?

I mean don't EV's have issues? Lithium is expensive to mine, electricity is usually produced by burning coal, and can our current grid even handle 100% electric vehicles? I mean it's better than gas, but it's not the end of the road of vehicle power is it?

>The first enables self knowledge, molds character, and helps develop a mental model transferable to other pursuits;

That's what quickly got me out of chess, when it was me playing with my brother as a kid it was about thinking really hard and trying to explore as many options as I could - it was really about who can think faster and outsmarting eachother since we only knew the rules.

When I decided to look into chess I found out it was about learning openings, recognising patterns, traps, etc. I didn't feel any smarter learning those, I just learned more about chess. You can draw up silly strategic methapores with any activity, but chess does seem to have that Sun Tzu status.

> criminal enterprises

Define criminal enterprises? Because smoking can be considered one of them (it's harmful, addictive and heavily taxed). Only recently western governments started to crack on smoking (probably because they foot the bill for healthcare now?) but booze and tobacco where the way to tax people before.
They file suit hoping to get a no show default judgement, and then file to garnish either wages or bank accounts. Most don’t contest so it’s only filing fees on the plaintiff
That's not applicable here, because the defendant was asking police to timely collect additional evidence for its exculpatory potential.
No, nowhere closed to that. There seems to be some confusion because Americans tend to quote things in yearly rates, while Germans tend to quote things in monthly rates. I pay just over €10k/year for my public health insurance in Germany, which is the maximum rate. (I'm self-employed, so I pay the full rate.) But that covered my whole family (wife and two kids) when my wife wasn't working. Now that she's a full-time employee, she pays around half of that (because her employer pays the other half).
Oh wow, my mistake!

I personally have the merger, and so I misunderstood which direction the split went.

Maybe. Quantifying your counter argument would help. If one developer writes 90% of the code there is signal in the statistics.
> Yes - imagine that job was cutting down trees and the amount of hard labor it took to cut down a tree was very high. You decided to invent chainsaws. Now each person doing this labor (which is now less hard) can cut down more trees and you need fewer people overall to cut down more trees and you can pass the savings on to your customers who now get lumber more cheaply.

That's a viable argument if the domain of the argument is only economics.

Some people want the domain to be restricted to economics only, of course. Some of us think that morality / philosophy plays a role too.

So we can recast your example in more general terms. Suppose that what society "said" about invention was along the following lines:

"We want to see productivity increase, and so we value and cherish invention, particularly invention that enhances the efficient use of human labor. People who manage to invent tools and processes that increase efficiency can expect to see some part of economic value of their inventions accrue to them. So, if you want to be richer and improve the wealth of our society, please go ahead and do so with your creativity and imagination and organizational skills. But if you imagine it as a pathway to unimaginable wealth, understand that this will not happen. To be blunt, just because your invention creates US$200M of value to society, you will not be US$200M richer under any circumstances."

In the end, it depends on what you think really motivates people.If you think that chainsaws get invented because people dream of being unimaginably richer than their neighbors, you will likely think that any limitations on how wealthy someone can be will cause us to miss out on possible improvements. But I don't believe that (and I could cite lots of evidence that money is almost the worst possible human motivator for most Americans), and I think that we can cap income and wealth without destroying innovation and productivity gains, while still leaving room for some people to be substantially richer than others.

That's sort of like arguing a hotdog is a sandwich. It isn't simply because if someone asked for a sandwich and you gave them a hotdog they'd say you gave them the wrong thing—even though technically a sandwich can simply be meat between some bread.
What about people with nuanced takes on TDD?

A lot of what turns me off about TDD is the dogmatism. If I'm coding a bug fix, I will often start by writing a unit test that reproduces the root cause of the bug because I don't want a regression, and I want to be sure that my unit test actually catches the bug before I fix it. If I'm writing a pure function and I want unit test coverage on it, I might as well write the unit tests first. But it's not necessarily useful to write all of your unit tests first.

Your making the assumption that the accommodations are meant to provide some sort of “advantage” to compensate for some other “disadvantage”. Like dealing with disabilities is some sort of arithmetic problem.

Accommodations just provide optionality, and let’s people choose the approach that suites them best. Rather than assuming that you can fairly apply some rigid standardised test on people, and expect it to accurately measure individuals. There’s plenty of data, and some pretty basic stats, which show this doesn’t work.

Proving extra time provides almost no advantage to anyone. Either you can answer the questions well, or you can’t. The amount of time it takes to do isn’t very relevant, so taking more time isn’t an advantage.

Providing questions in advance also isn’t an advantage. Again you can either answer them well or not. If you’re worried about people cheating by passing the questions around, then only provide them an hour or two in advanced, or only once they’re onsite.

If you’re interview process can be fooled by giving people more time, or advanced notice, then quite frankly it’s not a very good interview process.
I believe it's true for most of the sprachbund, including my native language Kannada (which is a Dravidian language very much unrelated to Hindi)
It doesn't take long to compile a small change. But the way compilation works is different than other languages. Julia doesn't cache compiled code (well, it caches some of it), because that's fiendishly hard to do in a dynamic language that allows dynamically redefining what functions mean. So whenever you start a new Julia process, it has to compile tons of things from scratch.

You can use the Revise.jl package, however. It keeps track of the files you've imported and updates the code whenever a file is changed. This causes only minor latency, similar to an incremental build.

Yes, Julia has them, but if you use them, it basically renders one of the promised advantages of Julia ("it does away with the two-language problem") moot, as you now have two languages anyway. If you have to languages anyway, why not use one of the more established languages?

----

I personally don't subscribe to the idea that the "two-language problem" is a problem that needs fixing. In the end your stack will have multiple languages anyway, unless you rewrite everything is Julia, which is utopian, so having one more isn't really a problem (and it might also be one that you are already using).
>> in jurisdictions where body-cam data is a matter of public record

Where is this mythical land, because many times people have to go to court to get a court order to release the footage, i would love to know where body cam footage is public record.

>>If the officer has a camera on the whole time, that potentially means the officer could use not just what they happened to see in the moment, but retroactively whatever can be seen in the footage after the fact, which likely significantly expands the extent of plain-view evidence that can be used without a warrant.

While an interesting topic, i dont believe this is in view of the context.

Further how many times does this issue really come up in the course of time. Seems like you are attempting to highlight edge cases in order to defend police corruption and their ability to hide their activities under the guise of public privacy.

Most of the body cam footage "lost" or "offline" is when the police are killing people in the plain outdoors in other public venue's not when they are protecting Grandma's privacy from the big bad public.
In the Windows defender settings, I believe under history actions or something similar (I don't have a PC running defender at hand) you can release and whitelist files it has placed in quarantine.
