I interview candidates regularly.

Most engineers need no more than half a dozen interviews to get couple of options to choose from.

Unfortunately, there is population that grossly overestimate their ability, don't prepare effectively at all and take as many interviews as they can thinking it is numbers game. Then blame "broken system".

It reminds me when I went for exam for driver's licence. There was a group of people complaining at the examiner and broken system after one person failed their 27th attempt due to some "silly" problem like almost running a pedestrian. I had fun noting they already all know each other and then I passed on the first try.

The people who complain the loudest are mostly ones like that. Clueless about what they are doing wrong, not willing to honestly retrospect and evaluate their situation, learn from mistakes.

This is their modus operandi. If you always try to find external cause of your problem where a lot of other people clearly succeed, there is a systemic problem with you that prevents you from effectively learning anything.

If this is you, I don't want to work with you. I want people who if they encounter same failure over and over again will eventually stop to think what they are doing wrong. Or who will not start by blaming compiler for their broken code (I had a coworker like that - total disaster).

The first step to solving a problem is admitting there is a problem.

The whiteboard problems we give are nothing out of ordinary. Unfortunately, they are also biggest filter as a lot of candidates who seem to know basics of Java can't write a simple function to specification. I understand some are due to stress even though I try as much as possible to relieve stress, give hints, etc. My boss once tried to listen to popular "advice" and get rid of whiteboard tasks. The next two hires were total loss and we had to fire them within 6 months. We are again giving whiteboard problems.
That's a good point. It's not necessarily learning directly 100% from a partner, but more using them for feedback, reinforcement, and motivation. I'm curious what the context of that conversation was!
Fantastic! Wish there was something for Indian Classical Music too. One can hope.
The word "political" has changed meaning recently to exclusively refer to discussion of minority rights and issues. If you asked (Americans at least) with no context, whether people wanted politics out of government, probably 50% would say yes.
And if you look at the past 200 years that we've made large progress towards all the things you mentioned, with each of those accomplishments have been enabled by...GDP growth
After reading your past submissions I see the root cause for your downvotes, and they are pretty much summed up in this thread's responses.

you can be supportive of a policy without being supportive of the type of government that runs it. I'm for it if it was done in a democratic way.

I see people touting the amazing prowess of the American and British armies in WWII a lot, and I have to wonder if those people are mystified about how Stalin ended up with half of Europe. How do they fit it into their worldview?

About a third of the total casualties of World War II were in Operation Barbarossa, 25 million out of 75 million, about 14% of the Soviet population, mostly within a few months in 01941. The battle hardened troops of the US and even France could mostly go back home to their families, barring Jody; the Soviet troops had, in many cases, had their families killed or starved to death by the Germans. And, when it came to land combat, the Soviets were enormously outproducing not only Germany, though not the US; in 01944, the last full year of war, they produced some 17000 tanks, and nearly 20000 in 01943. (The US numbers were 37000 in 01944 and 27000 in 01943.)

However, Russian tanks had a significant advantage over US tanks for combat in Europe: they were in Europe. And so were the farms that fed their crews.

So, I'm not sure if they "would have been no match for the Soviet Red Army", but I'm sure glad they didn't have to find out.
Isn't contract work looked down upon in the US? Here in the UK, its the opposite, contractors make atleast 2x the money, and most wouldn't dream of going back to salary position because no company wants to pay that for a permanent employee (apart from american companies and qaunt finance with nice bonuses)
> lego

More broadly here, the general idea of a very durable building toy that has appeal to both kids and adults. Unlike a lot of toys, Lego bricks are both (a) durable enough to last for decades or longer under heavy use and (b) timeless enough that a kid who gets passed down a box of loose Legos from their parent won't be uninterested just because it's themed after something that was popular when the parent was a kid.
How is Bach routinely butchered, and do you have recommended recordings of Bach's keyboard works (let's say WTC and the inventions/sinfonias)?
I totally agree with this. I used to listen to a lot of classical music (radio, vinyl, in concert). There seems to be something about the mid-20th century conductors where all their recordings are slow, ponderous and somnolent. Beethoven in particular, but many other composers get the same treatment. Hogwood's recordings are great. IMHO the best recording of Beethoven's 9th that I've heard is Leonard Bernstein's.
Perhaps another slant that has long seemed apt: choosing the dependencies and steering the organization of the software and its stack. Minimizing the dependencies to those strictly necessary, treating as many as plausible as an implementation detail, and judiciously leveraging the strategic ones, all flow from that.

In my experience (using iOS + macOS) they're pretty common and always work. What kinds of failures do you see?
I'm placing my bet on the fact that vast majority of Chinese people probably support this, and that's fair.
That workshop does miss out on acknowledging the "because I want to" aspect which is driven by passion / high interest. Although in that case it still sets a bad example, and I would say also perpetuates a single point of dependency as (depending on the work) you are building systems that only one person knows about.
> The things I took away from excessive gaming were "saying the right words to convince other people I have their best interests at heart" (RP for player-run cabals) and "speed reading skimming" "fast-twitch typing" and "writing conversationally."

This is extremely relatable. I grew up playing Runescape and I legitimately think it helped me develop better rhetorical skills than my peers and just better instincts in general when it comes to social and economical things.

Don't get me wrong though, those thousands of hours spent on video games were still not worth it. And I also don't think it's desirable to be too instinctive and "twitchy".
Radicale is pretty stable. I’ve submitted a patch in the past and they integrated it pretty quick.

This article is wrong to assume targeted advertising requires complex machine learning algorithms. Here are some personal examples where my ads have been poorly targeted:

- I'm actively looking to buy a house for more than a million dollars, and I'm signed into my real estate app using my Google email address. Meanwhile YouTube is showing me ads for Candy Crush Saga.

- A week ago I almost bought an iMac on Apple's website but bailed at the credit card payment screen. I had logged into my Apple account with my Google email address, yet since then I've not seen one ad to suggest I should buy that iMac (although I do see Apple ads for iPhone on Twitter)

- Twitter kept showing me Disney Plus ads even after I signed up

- In 2019 on holiday in Bali I saw YouTube ads in Indonesian, despite being logged in and being unable to speak that language
> Third world never had peak prosperity or at least it didn't look particularly different from their past

If that's what you legitimately think of the developing world, then no wonder you believe in collapse so strongly (almost like the inverse of the "noble savage"; a fear of letting go of the "Western enlightenment" even if it comes from critics of modern Western regimes). Please, go outside and experience the world. Life has fundamentally changed for most of humanity, except for the occasional isolated remote community, over the last 50 years. I urge you to define what "peak prosperity" is and how developing nations lack it before we discuss what "collapse" is and the loss of "peak prosperity".

I have lots of family in developing nations and their lives have absolutely, fundamentally changed. It's borderline insulting to imply that developing nations still live like they did in the past.

Yup. And to the question whether China should be reunited under a single regime... Sure, OK, let's discuss that.

The default position is of course that if this were to happen, it would be under the legitimate government in Taipei, not the usurpers in Peking. Right?

> ... correlation between games and violence (i.e. the consensus is that no such causation relationship exists).

I feel that the connection between violence and violence in games is far more subtle than a direct connection.

Video games are not real life but the thoughts and feelings we have when we play games are real. When we experience anger, sadness or joy in a game, all of these emotions are real for us.

When we have experiences pathways are laid down in the brain through the process of myelination and these pathways get reinforced over time by having the same experiences.

When we hit, shoot or kill something in a video game and get feedback, sound, visual or music, our brain starts to become conditioned to those experiences.

Our brains are plastic and flexible in that they can learn that hitting, shooting and killing, being violent can feel "good". It is possible that this can happen even being completely unaware of it happening.

If you make games, and there is violence in your game, I would seriously take a moment and consider. Is this violence in the game really necessary? There are many other options for different types of gameplay.
Diluting a brand and trademark is something that can and does happen and does not imply a threat whatsoever. I clarified that multiple times.

I'm always amazed at the amount of engineering that goes into, well, everything. Like how each transmission line tower is designed by someone for that specific location, even though the overall design looks the same from tower to tower. There's just so much to modern life that we take for granted these days.
I was wondering if it was about "Buy your girlfriend a goat day" which I am given to understand is a thing (a note about it is on my friend's fridge, written by his girlfriend, so it must be true).

And they're paying $5-10 in trading commissions per trade. For the typical retail trader whose order size is in the tens of shares, it's unclear how they're being harmed more than they're benefiting from it (from the free trading fees).
I agree, but realistically the car is already locked when you lose your keys, assuming you lock your car when you leave it. An exception would be, say, dropping your keys down a storm drain after getting out and before walking away, but even this is becoming unusual as more cars have push-to-start and capacitive exterior touch areas such that your key is always in your pocket.

Try listening to string quartets. Here are a few brilliant ones:

All of Schubert: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nK-_o1OYLszr8d...

Shostakovich 8: https://youtu.be/HgExfvXq7VI

Beethoven 10 (Harp): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exMaWKVcCEs

Mendelssohn 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UAU7xbTOyA

There are so many more but string quartets are such a wonderful place to get started. Intimate, pure music, with so much passion and excitement.
I'm not clear - are you saying most tunes you grew up with+new releases that excite you aren't on youtube? or that you think youngsters aren't clicking outside spotify?

Maybe it's just the genres I'm into but between youtube and soundcloud (+ a bit of bandcamp) maybe 95% of underground music new or old that I look for is available. Knowing it exists in the first place is a step of course but once you find something good both sites seem pretty good at suggesting similar tracks.

I full heartely agree. Bonus point for globals you can set checked breakpoints on.

Linear long functions are victims of bullying. Sure, it is a balance act, but I take bad linear code over deeply nested code any day. When trying to figure out how code works I can't keep much depth in my head, unless it is some tree walk on a data tree.
In the rM1 you just write to a framebuffer device in /dev/fb0 to write on the screen. It's so easy you could probably write an application that does that, compile it for ARM, load it via scp and run it. All in 15 minutes even if you know nothing about the Remarkable itself.

The rM2 is a lot trickier. A full reverse engineering of the drawing routines is still unfinished, as far as I know. So you either manipulate the memory of their closed source application or reuse big binary chunks of it. There are of course abstraction layers built over that by the community but as of today I believe it's much less refreshing than the rM1.

The rM1 used the chip electrophoretic display controller directly , while the rM2 has a software controller which is closed source. Hence much of the complications
Are you saying China can't enforce this?

the difference is that China is able to actually apply the law, with it's fire wall and unprecedently separated tech infrastrure. It may also threaten the companies to straight up boot them from China if they don't comply.
I'm ignorant of this space. Can you share how Robinhood and others make money through order flow?

The semantics of it (an order has to receive the best price at the time of execution for example) doesn't capture the N ways a fund could make money here and still be compliant.

Instead of worrying about the incorrect definitions used, can you share how firms benefit from order flow instead?
These are minor details - US probably should pay for it. But directionally, if you're a developing country, you can't afford it.

The best way to progress has been GDP growth - modern medicine is not driven by good-will, kindness, or faith. It's driven by profit
+1 for TestDisk. That gem literally saved my butt years ago when a controller failure on my old NAS almost destroyed all my data by turning all disks (Linux soft RAID1) into unreadable doorstoppers. And it wasn't like just a damaged partition table or anything like that; each file had to be recovered and copied elsewhere.
Is eBPF directly able to perform simple modifications of the data or only analyze and customize forwarding? E.g. if I had a custom packet encapsulation format I wanted to remap into another encapsulation format of a similar type I'm pretty sure I can use XDP to forward packets that match a userspace program which can then zero-copy modify the contents but at that point it seems to have lost a lot of the luster compared to a kernel module as I'm hopping back and forth between kernelspace and userspace. I'm not sure if that is a limitation of just reading about XDP a lot because dropping packets/load balancing is more popular and I just need to look elsewhere in eBPF or if it's actually a limitation of eBPF itself.
There's a famous quote attributed to Churchill: “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.” The only way we'll find better ones is if we keep exploring.

It's not so much that I want more or fewer regulations, as I want to explore systems other than market-based incentives. I'm not sure that regulations + free markets will get us to a place where people aren't addicted to video games, eat healthy, exercise, have quality education, and generally lead the good life. In 1930, there were a lot of ideas for how to get there, and a lot of those seem plausible. I'd like to see how some of those play out in practice.

I'll mention that I'm aware of where China is with regards to labor practices, freedom-of-speech, and so on, but with regards to public health systems, China is way ahead of the US. Everyone has access to decent, affordable healthcare. It's not at the same level as $50,000 procedures in the US, but it's good enough, and everyone has it.

It's also not really fair to compare countries with $64k per-capita GDP to ones with $10k per-capita GDP. It's even more unfair if one considers where the per-capita GDP was a decade or two ago. 25 years ago, China had a per-capita GDP of under $1000 -- that's less than Nigeria today. I think that's a more fair comparison between systems of government. Would you rather live in Nigerian democracy or Chinese CCP? That's not a loaded question -- they're quite different.

> Oh good grief.

Islam has a lot of good ideas too. For example, it has a wealth tax, and it discourages debt-based economies. You don't need to swallow political and economic systems wholesale.
Contrast that with all the complaining about how bad the roads are. Yea, the construction is a pain, but at least I connect that with better roads in a few relatively short months.
> So nobody should be able to take on any occupation except farmer or hunter-gatherer, because we would go extinct if everyone was a pharmacist or cop or baker?

So you took my examples and decided that because I didn't enumerate every possible occupation, that I intended to exclude all others?

I'd address your other points but it's not worth conversing with a person who clearly argues in bad faith.
you can still make good use of the usb drive with hyperbackup on synology! i have a backup job set to run nightly but keep the drive disconnected (so something like a powersurge can't take out all the disks at once) and then once a month plug in the drive before i go to sleep then plug it back out the next day. the backup job gracefully fails for the rest of the month when the drive is not plugged in, but basically it just means i don't have to log into the synology just to run the backup job.

i have a second drive with an identical backup job and the drive lives in my sister's house 364 days of the year.

there's still the risk of losing a months worth of files but its a pretty low effort and cheap backup system apart from that
I don't agree that Agile requires JIT requirements but benefits from and thus promotes them as the best way to deliver requirements for a feature.

Under waterfall, a document is written by an analyst that describes a problem to be fixed. Six months later, the task is picked up but legal regulations or market conditions or even the rest of the software has changed. However, the Waterfall requirements are the requirements and that's what gets implemented. Best-case scenario is that the business analyst that wrote the original spec is still employed and has been updating the requirements as conditions change.

What we've done at successful agile shops I've been a part of is quarterly planning that collects at a high-level the current requests/needs of the business, prioritizes them, they get a t-shirt size to determine if all of the requests/needs can be met during the quarter and they fall off by priority until you're left with a manageable high-level plan of work for the quarter. Then those high-level requests are decomposed into epics and stories which are specced out and estimated, etc.

It works very well but it requires that people work collaboratively from the executives and business stake-holders to the technical leadership and individual engineers.
This is one of your comment from the Github thread,

> ...which affords certain protections under US trademark law and has enabled elementary to prevent people from distributing other items under our brand name—but regardless this issue is in no way a legal threat as much as you want to insinuate...

Honesty, it looks like a legal threat to me despite claiming otherwise given your other comments on the Github thread have been on the legality of your request.

Also, claiming the repo owner has a poor understanding of trademark law when you are not a lawyer reflects poorly on you. If you wanted to change their name to "Unofficial elementaryOS Tweaks" - just ask nicely without getting into legal gobbledygook.
I can see getting a court system hooked with a long, free trial to do YoY comparison - for the first half dozen forming the core of the snowball.

How will you protect the personal information of defendants, both technically and by policy?

What's your pricing model, and does it differ for a court vs. attorneys (I could see public defenders wanting to load up their portfolio into this service)?

What's your plan to deal with the various data formats in each state/county system?

What happens if you miss a date and the defendant gets a warrant anyway?
