Lets be real, America has allowed the use of capitalism to enslave entire generations of people and they are clueless to the fact about it. In fact many praise it and go deeper into debt so they can rock the newest iPhone 13, only 36 months of payments spread out. I can handle that!

In the US a Genocide has been underway for decades. The cost of healthcare will break people. A trip to the doctor can easily wipe out life savings, what little there is for most people. Considering more than half the US population lives paycheck to paycheck to nearly paycheck to paycheck lifestyles, its easy to see how Most Americans are nothing more than slaves that go to work and back home in a endless cycle. That is not freedom. And sure they can quit, and live out in the streets if they wanted. Its a shit life.

Americans are so caught up in thinking the government is the bad guy here. No the real bad guy is the companies like Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Exxon, Verizon, ATT, Capital one, Chase, any CC company, plus the many Pharma companies. The list can go on and on.

With no protection for allowing people to get into 10-20k+ worth of CC debt at 22-28% APR, People will always be slaves.

Honestly its easy to see the USA as a Cancer. I dont blame China for wanting to break away from the ideals of the western world. Now they have made a lot of bad choices. But at the same time the USA is largely responsible for keeping the middle east a 3rd world society.

Americans enjoy living in a bubble, They love to think they are free. They are not free!

I'm an American, and I'm just as much of a slave to the system as the rest of you. The system is so rigged that any true free speech is easily spun around. Just look at all the crazy trump supporters, Slaves not only to unchecked capitalism but to also propaganda labeled as factful free speech.
> Scrum is a reasonable baseline starting point for an agile team to iterate on for process. Like any process, it is bad as an inflexible, canned process instituted as a rote ritual.

Exactly this. Scrum is supposed to be agile. Being agile by following a rigid process is an oxymoron. If you can't tweak the process, you're not agile, and are therefore doing it (including scrum) wrong.
FWIW, the sensor works flawlessly on mine. Maybe how the fingerprint is recorded matters ? I moved my finger slightly between each take in the calibration process.

Enough for what? I've done my share of small biz consulting, and the discussion circles around why they want a web site to begin with. Honestly, I have yet to meet a small biz owner who gives a crap about the web site for its own sake. It needs to contribute to their larger goals. That is not always growth... I've worked with folks who are already at capacity for their size and want streamlined communications, not growth. Maybe a few forms for their customers to submit info to them, make appointments, etc.

Maximizing search placement is sometimes useful for small biz sites, but it is never a goal in and of itself - it is a tool. SEO approaches need to regard it as such.
Even during the lockdowns there were times of no checkpoints on the borders again. It was such a relief to finally see them gone. I hope they aren't back again.

But yes that is amazing value and travel by train is just nicer.
Another reason that I observed is that large organizations are extremely afraid of mistakes regardless of expected loss. Such companies appoint gatekeepers, and those gatekeepers are by nature risk averse. The gatekeepers will simply reject any idea by default, unless there is a well-proven precedent. As a result, anything moves slowly.
I agree, "cultural fit" often has biased results.

But "cultural fit" is still necessary but must be defined carefully. If a company doesn't care about culture fit when hiring people, it will become a very bad place to work.

Questions to address when determining cultural fit:

- How does this person resolve conflict with peers? With managers?
- How does this person advocate for change in the workplace?
- Does this person share credit, and praise others?
- How does this person take responsibility when something bad happens?
- How does this person respond to something they heard but don't quite understand? Do they pretend to understand and go on, or stop and clarify at the risk of sounding unknowledgeable?

Questions that sometimes get confused for cultural fit:

- Does this person watch the same television shows as me?
- Will this person understand the same cultural in-jokes as me?
- Did this person go to the same college as me?
- Did this person have a similar life journey as me (religion, or where they grew up, etc)?
Or: "One idea in quantum computing bears no fruit"
I see this attitude all the time. It's usually from people who don't know anything about basic data structures like trees. How would you know that they don't apply?

It does apply. GUIs are fundamentally tree structures. Relational databases are fundamentally tree structures. JSON documents are fundamentally tree structures. Almost everything you're touching in a CRUD app is some kind of tree and you think knowing how to work with trees has "very, very little to do" with writing them? Again, how would you know?

I'm so serious that not knowing how to invert a binary tree is ludicrously bad. It's just a swap operation. You walk the tree and you swap the left and right branches of every branch you find. That's it. It's not black magic.

invert(tree):
if(tree not null):
temp := tree.left
tree.left <- tree.right
tree.right <- temp
invert(tree.left)
invert(tree.right)

That's why it's used as an interview question. It's not meant to be a test of skill. It's a shiboleth. It's one of the easiest ways to quickly answer, "is this the sort of 'programmer' who is likely to import a whole package for padding strings with spaces?"
I think the difference is that nobody except snake oil salesmen and people who want investors in their qc company were saying that useful quantum computers were only a couple years away.
The accusation of vendor lock-in against GNU doesn't land for me. It's hard to look at GNU Autotools and see that as coming from a project desiring world domination. Yes, it helped them get GNU software onto more systems, but they went out of their way to make Autotools usable for non-GNU software as well. If there's any history of GNU attempting hostile measures against their main free "competitors", the BSDs, I haven't heard it.

This mysterious robust process that can deterministically fit humans into the "hire" and "no hire" box doesn't exist. Everything you can describe that's negative about human intuition, I can use to describe whatever robust process you can think of.

I want candidates to succeed -- I always start out rooting for them. The interview is not a place to beat people down but it give them opportunities to show their strengths.
I believe a few things are happening:

1) The number of software engineers is growing quickly, but the market for software is growing even more quickly. So engineers are becoming more scarce relatively speaking and that pushes prices up. I don't know that I'd call that an inefficiency so much as markets working properly! OTOH, that's also why you see the explosion of coding bootcamps and alternative paths into the industry. Both my brother and sister in law did a coding bootcamp and 2x'd their salaries in 6 months! I don't think there's any sort of career investment you can make that comes close. So yeah- we haven't reached an equilibrium yet, there needs to be a lot more software engineers, and everyone is struggling to hire.

2) The market is not efficient at pricing top engineering talent in particular. It's hard for most companies to tell who the top engineers are (pg has written extensively about this). As a result, top engineers are underpaid by and large across the industry and companies that figure that out can get an edge. I've always said I'm for paying 10x engineering talent 2x above the average as you're getting 5x the value! You see a lot of FAANG taking this approach as well which is why salaries for the top end for engineers is growing at an outsized rate relative to engineers as a whole.
Leasing a car is going to be at least twice that plus you have to pay for gas, parking, etc.
Ampere probably won’t see a wide enough adoption to justify volume discounts right now.

I wouldn’t be surprised if offer funds for companies to buy into their ecosystem in the first place.
I read it as a "reward" and incentive for filing taxes in places like the US where everyone has to do it so it wouldn't translate to somewhere that taxes are paid via the employer or people on benefits because then there is no reward.
Does Speedify have any plans to support FreeBSD? It's still used pretty heavily over Linux in the router space.
It really doesn't matter if you're white or purple, the argument stands, you can be extremely damaging, accusing someone of rape for example is speech and it's illegal, people can end up in jail for speech etc.
Classic IP Licensing: RE, Castlevania, Contra, MGS. And new mobile recurrent streams from hits like Yu Gi Oh Duels.

It's a lesson throughout the industry. Those that have been successful at re-spawning have thrived, like Nintendo, Sony, Konami.

I'm in the English-speaking world and I wasn't aware of any particular controversy with the FSF other than issues regarding RMS himself and his personal conduct. Is that what you're referring to?
It is not only the software layer that was not prepared for so many. Some NVMe devices support only 64 I/O queues (this is how many you need for Windows compatibility certification). Some NICs only have 32 receive queues. It's now trivial to build a box with 256 threads, so these numbers don't look great.
This ticket (in Austria specifically) is not a response to covid-19, it has been in the works by our green party for many years now (2013 I think) and negotiations for the country-wide ticket have finally been concluded.

Yes! Another recent thread recently discussed best practice and whether something like that exist. I believe this is a good example.
How do these questions give you any indication that the candidate can do the essential job functions of shipping working code that is actually useful to your business and being a good teammate?
Imagine every program that fits within 10TB. It’s a finite number of programs. Inside there is GTP-3, 2 and 1. Every GAN. Tesla FSD. It’s everything. What this entire industry is really about at its core is finding programs in that set that behave in intelligent ways. That’s all. Recently we’ve had success in letting the computer dig through programs automatically until it finds a good one. So overnight we went from testing maybe hundreds per year to billions per month or something like that. So obviously things have been getting weird.

Imagine how many we’ve dug up so far out of the total set. It’s an infinitesimal percentage. We haven’t even scratched the surface.

Imagine the set. What’s inside? Is there something inside that we will regret?
Bug Bounty Radar // The latest bug bounty programs for October 2021
If you use log-based CDC, you typically don't need those timestamps, the WAL will contain and expose that information. It's a different story for more semantical properties like a "user" or a "use case" associated to some change. One way for capturing these intents is to log that information transaction-scoped in a separate table and then use downstream stream-processing to enrich actual change events (which contain the TX id themselves) with that metadata. I've blogged about one way for implementing this using Debezium and Kafka Streams a while ago: https://debezium.io/blog/2019/10/01/audit-logs-with-change-d....
Small companies buy from system integrators that get volume discounts.

Individuals at this point probably buy them off eBay especially the “ghost” SKUs that are only available for exascale customers.
Well, this is OK I guess. But if you really want to learn Awk you want the book "The AWK Programming Language", mostly written by Brian Kernighan (he's the K in AWK and in K&R), and as usual for all of his books, it's brilliant.
Adjust it based on the country’s tax system, but in Canada it would work because the employed and those on benefits tend to file taxes.
There's precedent for a communications company skewing the news to protect its monopoly -- in the 19th century, Western Union (the telegraphy monopoly) gave the Associated Press cut-rate access, in return for agreeing to boot any newspaper that published stories advocating competition in telegraphy.

Talk about your "you must be fun at parties"; and this isn't necessarily directed at you, floatingatoll, but when I see comments like this I often wonder if it's a case of "memorizes USPS shipping rules for fun" or more likely "worked on a contract once where we had to codify USPS shipping rules into an application, so I don't have them memorized but sure as hell know where to look".

For example, I've written code for computers to consume for the vast majority of my career. But go ahead and ask me the finer points of cellophane manufacturing...please, I've been waiting years for it to come up in conversation.
Yep, absolutely garbage that these clouds (Azure is another one) don't allow you to replicate with external systems. Pretty much devalues their entire hosted postgresql offering if you ask me, since it's just designed to keep you locked in (duh).

If you have any significant amount of data where you're worried about a migration, stay far away from hosted postgres offerings. You'll never get your data out without significant downtime.
There's a popup on this site on enabling hover sounds in Chrome. Is there a similar setting in Firefox?
If it makes you feel any better, NH is about the same. We had a cat kill a bat overnight (except not all the way dead, as I found out). I wound up boxing the thing, leaving it in a cooler we never used any more and then driving it to the state hospital for testing because Fish and Game called me and walked me through an extensive flow chart style quiz about whether I needed to have it tested or not.

Easily 20 questions, Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-style. Except the last goddamn question was, "Was the animal you encountered a bat? If so, yes, get it tested".
> ...freedom of mass speech is decidedly not.

That's one assertion. I don't buy it. If users have the tools to decide what information they're exposed to I think that solves the problem just fine.
No. the smartest people work for universities or private companies. people would know if top scientists were leaving for the NSA
Sure.

Kinda like how storing web templates in files is totally dependent on the people who upload them not putting crypto miners in the linked javascript(s) [1]. Or totally dependent on PAM not having a vulnerability [2]. Or totally dependent on SSH not having a vulnerability [3].

In terms of libraries and utilities I can give PAM and SSH a pass for fixing these things long ago. In the case of restricting a customer's access to the mechanism that renders their thing in favor of the option of "trust this guy who uploads things instead" you've got a much tougher sell about why that's better.

ZomboDB has always seemed really interesting to me.

Elastics search, with PostgreSQL's everything else sounds like a perfect match, but I've never seen it used anywhere which is kind of spooky to me.

Do you know of any non-toy use cases I can look at?

The Turbulent Past and Uncertain Future of Artificial Intelligence
>It's one of the easiest ways to quickly answer, "is this the sort of 'programmer' who is likely to import a whole package for padding strings with spaces?"

But that's the sort of programmer who gets hired, because SOP for Javascript development (and oftentimes elsewhere) is to import the existing library, and any developer who insists on writing that code themselves would be considered a code cowboy wasting company time and resources, and likely writing less safe code in the process.

> Eh, I mean we've been building computer chips for approximately the same amount of time as computer software, and it's pretty clear chip engineering is more like civil engineering than software engineering.

Is it actually anything like civil engineering? To my knowledge chip engineering revolves around yield. There's no such analogous concept in designing buildings that can only be reasonably constructed correctly 70% of the time and attempting to reuse the bad buildings for other projects.
Hmm, I wonder what I am 'overpaying' by having close to 1/2 of the land area of my town dedicated to cars instead of trees and grass, just so other people can live in the suburbs.
There are other ways to handle this at the application level, to be clear, using dual read & write and backfill. More relevant when you have TB+++ of data.
DDL migrations are amazing. Migrations between different postgres versions not so much.
Intel’s First 4nm EUV Chip, Ready Today: Loihi 2 for Neuromorphic Computing
Yes, but this patch does not make startup cheaper, it only decreases the performance cost of concurrent open connections.
Those are great. Another memorable NYT one had the theme A SHOT IN THE DARK, and several answers ended in SHOT (RIMSHOT, EARSHOT, etc.), but the grid only had space for the first part of the word, so the actual answers were RIM⬛, EAR⬛, etc. Another had a RISE FROM THE ASHES theme, and had several answers that ended in ASH that did not seem to fit the clue: the actual answer followed vertically where the ASH ending started. E.g., for the clue "Tell it like it is", the answer that fit straight across was "TALKS TRASH", but above the "A", going up, were I, G, H, and T, giving the actual answer "TALK STRAIGHT".
I agree with OP's point: the word synchronize implies that two things begin to share some common value. In this case, the heart rates share similar behavior (not ~exact BPMs), but I think most folks wouldn't choose the words used to describe this.

A more apt title might say "the changes in their heart rates synchronize".
Well, at least it's not the one 100% fatal disease known to man.

> Some NVMe devices support only 64 I/O queues (this is how many you need for Windows compatibility certification).

You're talking specifically about server environments there, right? Because consumer NVMe devices started out with far lower queue counts (eg. 7) and even the top consumer SSD product lines have struggled to keep pace with growing Threadripper core counts. 64 queue support is still something of a luxury among consumer NVMe devices.
The solution for that is review by a smart person who is empowered to consider the context and use her professional judgement, not a static set of criteria.
It won't make a difference. So STIR/SHAKEN prevents caller ID spoofing... Spammers/scammers can still get "legit" numbers and scam from them. It costs about 50 cents/month for a DID.
I'm always happy when I see posts that promote AWK. It's a very underappreciated tool in my opinion. I was a Linux user for 20 years before I got familiar with it. AWK is super powerful for text processing, and I like that it's included in Busybox for use on the embedded systems that I design.

For any complex text processing, it's way better and more robust than having a super long pipeline of a bunch of sed/grep.

Most recently, I used awk in a script that parses /proc/mount to grab the mountpoint of a partition, or print something different if the partition isn't mounted. Doable with a bunch of sed/grep and some shell logic? Definitely. But easier and cleaner in AWK, and equally easy to inline in a shell-script.
two keys: trust and (efficient) communication. these may or may not be sufficient for a given org, but they’re certainly necessary ingredients. they lead to highly effective teams via autonomy and intrinsic motivation (teams that achieve desirable outcomes efficiently without oversight).

these two factors are extraordinarily hard to cultivate consistently, especially during high growth. this is incidentally why management is so hard, and so often “bad”, because managers are often encouraged to focus on metrics, like financials, rather than cultivating trust and fostering effective communication.

kanban (in japanese manufacturing) is a quintessential example of a management system designed to foster trust (no-fault problem-solving orientation) and communication (simple, immediate, and well-known signaling).

edit: should also have mentioned kaizen as a companion to kanban in this context.

Well if the maintainer decides not to implement any text formatting then there are still options. The spec is designed to break, not bend, explicitly, and can always be forked, or we can do what we have always done, _this sort of thing_ and its not ideal but it's really no big deal to use some type of markup style punctuation rather than actual formatting.
That question is impossible to answer. However, the negation is answerable. "Is the candidate incapable of the essential job function?" Questions like fizz-buzz, et. al. answer that readily.

Put up a job posting on a job board and you'll get hundreds of applications. 90% of those you're going to throw out because the resume doesn't match the job description at all. What does that tell you about the candidate pool? It's an all out assault of candidate spam. You have to employ these sorts of basic filters to even get the number of interviews you do down to a managable number.
