These days I just immediately turn those down without a second thought. It's a joke of an interviewing system and your time is way too valuable for that.

Happy to do coding questions, but not 8 hour long take-home projects. Those have screwed me too many times
Success makes a project agile. Because if you thought you were using Agile development practices, and your project fails, the Agile partisans will tell you that you weren't really doing Agile; you implemented it not right.

At least in my experience.
I hope they don't terminate it like they did with a lot of other producs. GCP is a pleasure to work with.
Aren't there intrinsic conflict-of-interest risks if the only companies who can provide data for regulatory guidance are the companies themselves?
I've always assumed a bean counter somewhere crunched the numbers and when you adjust for people who don't leave because of the stress of interviewing + friction of switching + uncertainty of new manager, it works out better for them to not do this.

Hi Gary, I agree with your point. Thanks to Robinhood other brokerages were forced to drop their commissions. My point is that situation could be improved.. moreover, in many countries the PFOF practice is banned
Hey, I don't work on the Browser Isolation team, but want to let you know that there's a project in progress and your post is certainly being discussed. I'm hoping we can provide a solution that meets or exceeds your expectations.

There's a difference between knowing you don't understand something and thinking that you do - that's the difference between cargo cult thinking vs actual thinking.

Cargo cults are antivaxx, anti-climate change. Things that are obviously not true, but that many people want to believe so they do. The issue is that this kind of thinking is actually default, which I've grown to understand recently. IE many people who are in favor of good things don't really have a deep understanding of why that is - they've just adopted an opinion that sounds good to them. This is particularly pronounced in ie economics and politics, where understanding is extremely shallow.
People will make a mess of a large project regardless of the language.

Oh no, the dreaded WordPress "Database Error"? Is it possible you tried while I was busy error correcting the blog post and it somehow failed then? I tried the link with a vpn, other browsers, all working this side. My server is still up.. re-posting seems like it's not going to help any.
Yes, companies need to be way more aggressive in keeping current folks and changing their pay bands quickly in these situations. The problem for much of big tech is that the managers hiring have no real control over the pay bands so it’s left to folks who tend to not be in the software engineering group and do pay ‘studies’ that take a long time to show they are competitive in calculating their pay bands. This works until it doesn’t, then by the time you realize you lost people and can’t hire fast to replace them, you’ve fallen behind your competitors
Well, there's basically no legal way that that kind of information is in the databases accessible via his car computer, so he's already lying by saying "you don't like police" and "it says that when I pull up your records." Police also protect their tools with a fierce secrecy, so they don't just banter about what they can access on their computers, especially when that would mean they're revealing functionality or data that doesn't have a compelling government interest, unless they're lying about it.

You can step it back up yourself by turning the question around: by what mechanism, process, or law would your opinion of the police appear on a screen in a police car?

In my book, as far as surveillance or internet comments (etc.) information getting used at traffic stops goes, that's an extraordinary claim begging for extraordinary evidence.

Not really. The axiom of excluded middle is false* because it's a universal quantification, and consequently includes pathalogical cases like "This proposition is false."; there are plenty of specific classes of proposions on which resticted versions of excluded middle are valid, just like there are plenty of classes of sets (eg all well-founded sets) that have well defined membership despite Russel's paradox.

Here are some "dot-com era" flashbacks from a veteran greybeard:

Near the end of 1999, I moved from SV to smaller hot tech market with more affordable housing. I moved totally cold with no contacts or job lined up. The week after I arrived, I had 3 job offers. I picked the smallest web tech startup. After a couple months they got acquired by a SV megacorp and I was pissed! I wanted nothing to do with being a small fish in a big ocean of a company. But I had just bought my first house and my wife was pregnant. I planned to stick around long enough to vest some options. Then the big crash hit and the majority of web startups were gone and my megacorp's stock had cratered. I had the feeling of winning at musical chairs - Pyrrhic though that victory was.

Am I predicting some future tech industry crash? No, but maybe it is plausible. It does remind a bit of the shoeshine boy stock tip. Maybe the world will finally push back against ad-tech stalker capitalism? Haha - I wouldn't bet on that...

I fucking hate leetcode. It takes me about a month or two of practicing to get caught up and proficient with leetcode, but there's 2 issues with that. The first is that that is a lot of personal time and effort to invest to prepare for interviews. And second, my professional skill does not increase at all from practicing leetcode. Leetcode beyond the concepts of easy/medium questions is programming trivia and reflects rote memorization more than anything else. And worst of all, leetcode distracts from far more valuable skills like design patterns and how to properly architect and design software.

In the end, the only companies that should be doing leetcode beyond the easier level questions are companies with an insane number of applicants where they can afford to turn away a lot of good talent.
I can’t think of any field of research where the model used is completely accurate. At one point we will have to leave behind the messy real world. While a simple weighted node is insufficient for modeling a neuron, there are more complex models that are still orders of magnitudes less complex than simulating every single interaction between the I don’t know how many moles of molecule (which we can’t even do as far as I know, not even on a few molecule basis, let alone at such a huge volume).

But I feel I may be misrepresenting your point now. To answer your question, maybe a sufficient model (sufficient to be able to reproduce some core functionality of the brain, eg. make memories) would be one that incorporates a weight for each sort of signal (neurotransmitter) it can process, complete with a fatigue model per signal type, as well as we can perhaps add the notable major interactions between pathways (eg. activation of one temporarily decreasing the weight of another, but in a way bias is sorta this in the very basic NNs). But to be honest, such a construction would be valuable even with arbitrary types of signals, no need to model it exactly based on existing neurotransmitters. I think most properties interesting from a GAI perspective are emerging ones, and whether dopamine does this and that is an implementation detail of human brains.
Also in Canada as well. I have been regularly courted by recruiters from both US (remote) and Canada.

I have started a new job a few months ago. My now former manager was trying to come up with a counter offer, but my new offer is too far off from my old compensation package.
Reaching out to 10 companies is not enough for remote positions. They might be flooded with hundreds of resumes from around the world.

>Lots of persons seem to be "uninterested in serious personal development"

I don't think being uninterested in disengaging from consumer capitalism is akin to being uninterested in personal development. Being pro-mindfullness and anti-consumer is valid, but so is being pro-consumer and uninterested in mindfullness (because they are chasing other goals, which could be considered part of personal development). The mistake the author makes is assuming their goals are the best way to go, and then prescribing solutions for that.

The author's point of view is actually just fairly narrow. There is nothing wrong with their view, or the ideas they suggest for improving one's life if you share his perspective. But a lot of people simply don't share that view. As a counterpoint, some people (not mine) think the highest goal in life is to work as much as possible. They will do so, and probably consume a lot in order to maximise their time working. That goal and lifestyle might seem unsavoury to me or you, but it is another way to personal development: that you can, personally, be a really good worker.
Better support to what end? Walking out of school age 16 with 4 GCSE passes is not much of an improvement on 2, and maybe we should accept that there exist people who cannot via standard schooling do better than that? Maybe those two additional years of special measures is not better than a couple of years learning on a job?

Unless your claim is that with sufficient support everyone can leave school at 16 with good grades, which is simply not a school of thought I ascribe to.
Surprisingly, no - just dumping shit in a big hole is the most environmentally friendly thing to do - least energy used, least pollution created.

The problem is having the space in some place where neither flora nor fauna will be affected.
I’ve been doing this for 20 years and haven’t faced burnout. Quite peaceful mentally and physically fit. It is precisely not about self image for me.

Competition is inherent to human experience. Watching sports wouldn’t be popular otherwise.

A world where everyone not competing to be their best would be an extremely depressing place.

This seems to be standard practice especially around modern "devops tools"

* Release very often and very early

* Break backward compatibility every 6 months at least

* Completely ignore reliability, security and defensive programming at first. Rewrite everything over time.

* Deprecate and replace major feature every year

Essentially end users have no choice other than upgrade on every new release and fix the breakage.
Lisbon, Portugal. Haven't seen anything like this before. Anyone going through some frontend bootcamp will be hired immediately with much higher salaries than any comparable job with the same barrier to entry.
Agreed, but there are certain people I've experienced who simply can never acquiesce to stoic doctrine.

To poorly paraphrase Epictetus (from "Against followers of the academy"):

When a man had hardened himself against what is manifestly clear, what argument, what flaming sword can I bring to bear against him?
> My guess is that if the law changed tomorrow and mandated that screen sharing tools accommodate the blind, we'd end up with no cross-platform screen sharing tools.

Solving this problem in a cross-platform way is hard, but not impossible, especially for a company as well-funded as Zoom. And yes, I have ideas about how it could be done, though like my suggestion about the Chromium accessibility tree, they're not necessarily fully baked.
I hate that the market is so great right now because I really can’t take advantage of it.

I would love to start the process, to try and get a salary increase anywhere from 30%-100% but unfortunately I’ve stagnated sharply skills wise. Don’t qualify for the jobs I see I think I’d enjoy, and don’t even qualify for the jobs that meet my salary preferences that I’d otherwise dislike. I also would have to be looking at immediately remote roles which just makes things harder. I also am about 90% I could not perform on interviews at most places. Digging myself out of the aforementioned stagnation and prepping for interviews is likely to take years at this point and who knows what the market will look like at that point.
Aren't the plastic bags mainly a problem because they tend to end up in places where they don't belong at all, like oceans etc.? They can't really decompose or anything like that, they just shred to tiny little pieces that mess with animals (and ultimately also our) digestion, no?
The hottest/coldest day matters but the timescale matters too. Ecosystems (and probably humans) can adapt when those changes happen slowly. But human-made climate change happens way too fast.

Here's a great way to visualize things: https://xkcd.com/1732/
Accessing packed struct members works fine on x86, but will blow up at runtime or do weird things on platforms which don't support unaligned loads or stores.

The correct way to access packed structs is through memcpy, just like you'd access any other potentially unaligned object.

I think the argument is that rampant fraud generally destabilizes the economy which is eventually bad for everybody
Consider the fact that many desirable jobs get hundreds of applicants. It's entirely possible that even if your resume is top notch it got lost in a huge pool of candidates. You need to send your resume to hundreds of companies. I have a top-tier resume, and when I job search, I aim to send my resume (and cover letter/email) to 10+ companies per day.

On the other side, last time I was hiring, I was shocked at the low quality of a lot of applications. Applications that weren't complete, didn't have a resume, cover letter and work samples of some kind got immediately sent to the trash.

The market won't be able to adapt fast enough, I think.

I don't think all prevailing narratives in the media are false. The idea that most of our industry benefits from climate change being considered an "externality" is true. Anyone who benefits from this unpriced "externality" has full interest in keeping it that way. And that's probably 90% of economic activity.

I have little doubt that the innovation will come from industry, but the issue is that as long as we consider all of this an externality the market has no forcing function to change.

On the Davos crowd who goes around talking about climate change while jetting around, that is a PR effort that's to be expected. In the end it doesn't matter. Since it's an economic externality to heat up the planet, we all benefit and get destroyed by it at the same time. A billionaire can be making great talks about climate change but it is impossible for him to achieve net-zero when so much of our economic activity relies on pricing climate change at 0$. The exception to this is literally 1 billionaire, who's invested humongous amounts of net worth into Tesla.

Either way, there is 0 ways for the market to solve climate change when it is obvious that climate change is not priced into economic activity at all.
That's like asking "is writing a feature is a million dollar ask" without defining "feature".

Need to define it at least a little to get anything resembling a useful answer.

Thanks for your response. I’m mostly reacting to the headline but appreciate you bringing awareness to PFOF. Are there any PFOF-free options you would recommend?
I see a ton of jobs posted for seniors right now but almost none for juniors. Are companies being shy about talent risks right now?
It is going to cost a whole lot more than $100k to train everyone necessary on accessibility. Especially when you factor in the opportunity cost involved in focusing on that over new features or the like.
I think the article has worth if you are unfamiliar with these ideas. You don't think to question your fasion until someone exposes you to the right concepts. For someone who is interested in anti-consumer mindfullness then this article is probably really good. But if you are not that kind of person it is indeed a weak article.

Plastic is probably also the reason for our decline in birthrates. Before you say societal changes are responsible for it; we’ve accounted for it and even without those changes, we’d still have birthdate declines.
This wasn't my understanding. If the decoding happens in hardware, I wouldn't have expected the decoded video to be passed back to the display server to be sent back again to the GPU and out to the screen.

My understanding was that there was some kind of compositing going on, in hardware, where the display server would tell the GPU to display the output between some coordinates, but the server itself wouldn't know what the actual output would be.

Here is the libva documentation which seems to support this: http://intel.github.io/libva/group__api__prot.html
We've already seen disruptive architectures like Google's Tensor Processing Units. x86 has already been upended for ML, and photonics based processing units will simply be another PCI card you plug into your computer just like a GPU.
No, pedantic is for disabling compiler extensions. You still need to explicitly specify a standard.
Sure, I can find many seriously saying just about anything on the internet if I go looking for it. I meant a literal you in "when was the last time _you_ ever heard someone say 'the Linux desktop will take off this year' or something similar?"

I've personally heard "year of the Linux Desktop" from people directly many times per year every year that I can remember but in terms of response/meme/joke/etc not actually taking the stance "it _is_ the year of the Linux desktop". Yet I can't even think of the last time I even naturally ran across someone proposing the concept online (sans trying to purposefully find such a person like Googling) let alone someone I know being serious about it.

Not sure if that is a normal experience and people just like to talk/joke about how it isn't all the time or if my bubble/filter is just abnormal.
Didn't I just read a top comment on HN yesterday that China and India did more than us?
> The same Apple you’re suing because you don’t like having to pay them for their effort?

What effort? One of Epic's main arguments is that they want to distribute their iOS app without using Apple's services, but they can't because of artificial restrictions that Apple has implemented inside a product that, once sold to the customer who is Epic's target for the app, no longer belongs to them.
Is this a regional thing? Ours just has fruit and veggies for the taking, like any other supermarket.
A lot of plastics that we "recycle" end up in landfills anyway. They are not recyclable because they are contaminated with food (need to wash food containers out before recycling) or they are labeled as "recyclable" but really are not, or are not at every recycling center in the nation. The same is true for cardboard like used greasy pizza boxes with cheese stuck to the bottom are not recyclable yet a heck of a lot of people toss them in the cardboard recycle bin.

> The findings confirm the results of a Guardian investigation last year, which revealed that numerous types of plastics are being sent straight to landfill in the wake of China’s crackdown on US recycling exports. Greenpeace’s findings also suggest that numerous products labeled as recyclable in fact have virtually no market as new products.

> She emphasized that bottles and jugs are indeed worth recycling, but said “our findings show that many items commonly found in beach cleanups – cups, bags, trays, plates and cutlery – are not recyclable. In America’s municipal recycling system, they are contaminants.”

> The US recycling economy was upended in 2018 when China enacted bans on imports of most US recycling, leaving recycling companies at a loose end. The report chronicled how dozens of cities – stretching from Erie, Pennsylvania, to San Carlos, California, – have either stopped taking mixed plastics or are sending them to landfill.

You have not read the document that you link. Else, you would have noticed that it states that a not-organic cotton bag has to be reused 52 times for the same relative impact on climate change. The 7100 is impact on ozone depletion:

p. 18: 'Conversely, for composite and cotton
the very high number of reuse times is given by the ozone depletion impact alone. Without considering
ozone depletion, the number of reuse times ranges from 50 to 1400 for conventional cotton, from 150 to
3800 for organic cotton, and from 0 to 740 for the composite material bag. The highest number is due to
the use of water resource, but also to freshwater and terrestrial eutrophication'.

And as I have commented elsewhere: I have cotton bags that I have easily used 500 times. If I had used an old T-shirt for the bag or later use the old bag for cleaning purposes, the 7,100 becomes very relative.
> It isn’t X doing that - it’s people.

That's quite a silly argument since you can very literally replace X by anything and get a true statement.

You didn’t qualify for the first job you got. The only difference now is you have more experience and less hubris. What I do is cut my teeth in a few bad interviews, polish off the rough edges, and then I do fine. It’s all about attitude and confidence.
