I agree. Google will often ask the "number of marbles in a jar" question to see if you can think in scales using abstract statistics in their interviews. Now if you suck at math but are just fine in logic and code writing, should this limit you? When I interview people, I'm being attentive to show the interviewee respect but to also catch misrepresentations.

Most people don't code without having reference material available because unless it's just rehashing old code all the time for the same project, you're likely adding or optimizing something about your project. Same with every other part of the infrastructure and service matrix.
> So you really think that in 10.000 years we cant figure and build a computer that rivals the human brain ?

There might be hard limits we'll never break through. All the experts will tell you is "we know that we don't know", because when it comes to the brain we don't know shit.

There are many theories out there and materialism is only one of them. People deify tech and underestimate the brain, I'd advise to do the opposite
Thank you! That was my intention :)
Learning to learn is such an important skill that a lot of people just miss. Speaking for myself and I think my brother who was unfortunately labeled 'gifted' at some point, learning came automatically - I just absorbed information - until it didn't. During primary and secondary school, I never had to 'knuckle down' and actually study.
It’s a difficult tradeoff but the new tube map seems like a huge improvement: one thing I remember from when I touristed through london is the missing sense of distance you’d get from the maps, so if you didn’t have a physical map you’d completely miss that you could easily get to your destination on foot in 5mn from one station, and instead would loop around for 10 more minutes and a change or two. Likewise Paris.

Tokyo has a somewhat similar issue, except more so due to the presence of multiple networks and the cost from swapping networks on your journey (which you don’t notice until a few days in when you realise you’ve drained your suica surprisingly quickly).

In the first example, the branch is `>= 0` but then in the "examples" second, the second part, it's `> 0`. Which is it?

Good point. Once they're actually working contract, it's actually very easy to can them if they're not what they're supposed to represent.

The lesson from your comment is that, regardless of the details or whether one agrees or disagrees, these issues are incredibly complex.

It is always people who want to simplify everything into good and evil / right and wrong that want to censor free speech. And it is exactly those people, who have such a simple world view, that are the last people on earth who should be trusted to do so.

> You won't see Optional<T> being used there.

I think Rust is in a category of it's own, mostly due to circumstances rather than anything: The ecosystem has grown immensely over the past several years and you can find a crate to solve most of your needs. But here is where thing become tricky: more often than not the documentation provided is extremely vague to put it mildly and the examples are a hello world at best. With this in mind, in order to truly use it you have little to no choice but to dig deep into the implementation and at some point reach the standard library.

But is that because you have the visual feedback of yourself? As I say, I can relate and that's why I disable my own tile.

I'm being a bit encroaching here, but I'm guessing you'd have to do as much and probably more self regulation in in-person meetings. Nobody cares where your hands are, probably no one even looks at them because you're one of many tiles. Where you're looking is not interesting because nobody knows where your camera sits related to your face. I constantly look out the window while talking. Genuinely, I've had to force eye contact on bad days in in-person meetings and everyone knew, it felt as pathetic as looking at my own face and checking if my gesturing and face ist appropriate

I've thought the same. If you make it through the application process you've proven your dedication must be the thinking. I often wonder how many half-completed applications companies who use the service end up with.
I think that makes sense if the application doesn’t need to also grow much functionally during the expansion, but I believe the more common pattern is more users = more functionality to manage those users, support teams, global legal compliance and accommodate more niche phone systems = more engineers.

I'd appreciate if you explain in more detail what I got/put wrong.

I do attend modern art exhibitions occasionally, from garage exhibits to Venetian Biennale. I have friends working in it, recently worked at exhibition myself, and read on biographies of Renaissance and XIX century artists.

I find a large chunk of "modern art" boring and definitely not entertaining. I don't see why making something so grandiose makes it entertaining.

The impracticality argument is just one excuse that artists make when criticized for bad artwork. Other arguments are:

* art hasn't to be X => a claim that it's fine anyway
* you don't get it => a claim that there is a quality criterium, but the critic doesn't know it.

Regarding the Minecraft map in question: what if it were a small area, like just a real castle? Would it be art too or not? Or it's not art, because it's of reasonable scale? If it would be still art, then what difference does the scale make?
For UK travel it depends a bit I think - a daily commuter's experience will be a lot different to that of somebody who is making off-peak leisure trips. For the latter my experience is that there's rarely crowding (especially in these pandemic times!) and that advance purchase (fixed to a specific train) tickets are often pretty good value.

(Writing this on a train from Exeter to Dawlish. The sleeper train from London to Penzance is good if you like that kind of thing.)
Reminds me of Nassim Taleb's works. Reading and rereading the standard library is a good way to learn a language or get depth. I don't see how reading an actual implementation can be considered academic, as it is real-life engineering. It is not pseudocode or theory, some algorithms in Java and C++ are using some ugly shortcuts that only an engineer would find interesting while an academic would think it's heresy.

No, to be clear, I would have more anxiety because I wouldn't know how I'm coming across. I guess my question is, if I'm one of many tiles and no one cares where I'm looking, what's the point of having the camera on?
Yes, but when I last played with it, it's got a forced reboot every 24 hours, which limits any real-world usage.

To be honest the whole experience was sub-par and I went back to using a GUI-less Raspbian install.

Bombarding people with adverts.

In London farebox income in 2019 was £4.9b, and advertising was £158m.

If there were no adverts (and thus the resulting theft of brain power - especially on moving ones on screens), a tube fare would have to increase from £2.40 to £2.47, a 3% increase.

It's like this with many services that you buy - Sky TV's total subscription income was £11b, advertising £1.4b. A £30/month package coming with 20 minutes of adverts an hour would cost £34 with no adverts at all.

(In reality I don't pay for sky, because it has adverts, so I guess adverts mean the cost goes from £30 to £0)

Advertising is a cancer on the world.
What do you mean? The entire premise behind the design and creation of the C++ language was to add object oriented features to C.

Perhaps they shouldn't even show Staten Island.

What is the point of including Staten Island on maps displayed on the Manhattan, Long Island and mainland parts of New York, given that you can never catch a train there? Conversely, what is the point of displaying maps showing the rest of New York on Staten Island? Especially given that there is only one public transport connection between the two!

I've never had a conference with images that small. They are always more than adequate to see what someone's doing.

The big difference to presence meetings is that you send your picture into the void and don't get any social cues back, or very different ones.

You're arguing against a bit of a strawman there.
I wouldn't say JavaScript is exotic, it's more to do with what is being done with it.

Traditionally it was used to enhance HTML pages with some DOM manipulation but it's now being used for a million other things too.

So historically, if your JavaScript code broke your page would still render as it was just html but now there are all sorts of build processes and long chains that use JavaScript to create the html in the first place... I'd consider that the exotic bit.

Traditional JS running in the browser manipulating DOM elements is very much a foundational aspect of the web and won't deteriorate with age (with the exception of perhaps deprecated functions in the far-off future) but all these js libraries and tools and build processes with massive dependency-chains are what's being referred to.

Easier construction for records will come to Java. As with most Java features, it will come once it's been carefully considered, and done in a way that gives the most bang for the buck (e.g. we do want easier object construction, but if we add a feature for that, we'll try to get more than just easier object construction out of it).

> And don't get me started on array vs list vs collections none of which are compatible with each other.

This is not true. Lists are collections, and while arrays are different, Arrays.asList() gives you a list view of arrays.

> And hundreds of other QoL improvements that are begging to be implemented, and are not.

First of all, just in the past five years we got local variable type inference (var), switch expressions, records (with much more to come), sealed classes, and basic pattern matching (with much more to come), and string templates are around the corner. All of those are significant QoL improvements.

Second, every feature comes at the expense of all others -- both because of opportunity cost and overall language complexity budget -- and the question is one of priorities. Not everyone has the same priorities.

Finally, because Java is expected to remain extremely popular for at least a couple more decades, we must be very careful about adding features. While other languages are trying desperately to gain many developers right away, we're looking ahead to ensure that we'll be attractive to developers in ten and twenty years from now, and so must spend the complexity budget carefully.
>automated announcements at every single station.

The security announcements are the worst offenders for this in my experience, I used to travel by train a lot and the blaring auditory nag every five minutes when you're waiting in a station about reporting anything suspicious combined with the fact many stations are a bit grotty and Brutalist really adds up to an Orwellian experience.

Come to think of it, I'm fairly sure the British government's obsession with three-element slogans started with the trains; "see it, say it, sorted" is massively burned into my brain which I guess is the intention.
Reading is necessary but insufficient, but you can at least make it efficient -- that's what the article is covering I think.

Actually, the power density of a charger shouldn't be an issue for this.
You can get very dense systems if you're willing to cool them appropriately (the frequencies you can use thanks to modern GaN and SiC transistors allow for very compact inductors and make switched capacitor converters feasible for mains voltages).

10 kW/kg is not even exotic anymore, and I doubt you'd want to charge at more than 100 kW with an on-board charger, anyways.

> What is up that you need someone else to have a camera pointing to their face that you can't have with their voices?

Smiles, frowns, nods, glazed looks, puzzled looks, surprised looks, I-want-to-say-something-but-I-can't-get-a-word-in looks, zoning out, impatience, et cetera, et cetera. There's really a lot people communicate with their faces, both consciously and unconsciously.
I think this is standard. It's the difference between a single episodic memory (formed by the hippocampus) and a learned statistical pattern (identified by the neocortex).
I dunno. I also see it as a red flag for a interviewee as a boss who is likely to tap my shizzle and make sure that the clock is being worked on their terms, not collectively.

For instance, one interview I was having camera issues after messing with some UVC webcam switchers so I can mix it like a Twitch feed, and a request to do a meeting came in. Now sure, my bad for not being ready and testing my setup an hour or two before the meeting but we're both sitting there and while I'm trying to work out the camera issues, I'm trying to coax the interviewer into starting the meeting as both of us are there now and there are a lot of interaction to talk about prior to needing a face to face. His reluctance indicates to me that he's wanting to do exactly that trick... try to gauge my non-verbal language.

Lots of people read and watch videos on how to spot liars. The fact that a polygraph can be defeated shows you why its bullshit and that a attentive eye can be made to watch for a red flag. But the real clincher that you're supposed to do is give them rope to hang themselves on. This guy was so tight to doing it his way that he hung himself and I cancelled any further interest once he hung up with the recruiter. I have no problem finding work and we're doing him a favor not the other way around.

Now you can't bullshit a bullshitter and you can tell through extensive Q & A along with tracking the amount of time to see if someone knows/doesn't know AND someone trying to con by covering up. Which is why you NEVER EVER LIE IN AN INTERVIEW!!! Admit defeat if you don't know, nobody is perfect.

The best SE hacks are the ones that can sell you and stab you in the back. You couldn't figure that out in one call regardless. That's why it's so dangerous and even in-person will someone try to run the gambit on you. And why the weakest link in security is the human.

You need multiple people involved in a interview loop to make sure the likelihood is high that they can do the job. Most people who cannot "talk the talk" cannot even attempt to "walk the walk". Which is why you cannot use canned questions and answers that are already on the internet. It's a waste of time because nobody works tech without having access to the Internet and reference.
My opinion: replace all cars with self driving only, then you completely avoid the hard problem of interpreting other human drivers. And you can also let the cars communicate with each other, be centrally controlled and/or have assistance in the roads. Why would anyone want to have a non-self driving car. Maybe hard/unrealistic, but it would be super cool to see this as an experiment in a smaller city center to see what happens. It would bring so much opportunity for optimisations also around traffic flow, parking spaces etc.
