i think basically they look at the companies listed and think "this person has a shot at passing our leetcode style interviews" rather than can this person's experience contribute to our organization in a meaningful way. Essentially, most engineers at most companies are just replaceable cogs. I'm going through interviews with FAANG right now and boy, it's so scripted, you have leetcode questions tagged with the company so you grind those and hope to see those in an interview, there are "behavior" type questions which are tagged so you prep for those and give a regurgitated answer which you think will win you approval rather than an authentic answer. The sad part about all this is that it works, but it also leaves one feeling dead inside.

Google DNS at 8.8.8.8 is probably the most popular DNS resolver.

Keep in mind, a system of rules is just a system of rules. It takes someone to come along and knowingly look for "ah ha, gotcha" loopholes in a system to exploit for their own advantage.

It's completely possible to look at a system, realize there's a flaw, and not take advantage of it--perhaps even try to fix the flaw you discovered.

In the US, we're increasingly normalizing the culture of "well, it's legal" as to whether we should or shouldn't do something--the baseline of morales is becoming law.

Part of this is driven by competitive forces that put us at critical disadvantages if we don't follow suit. Taking the "high road" often costs more and hinders us to points we can't survive, so even if you don't want to play exploitative games on systems and people, in some cases, your very livelihood may actually depend on it.

"Don't hate the player, hate the game" comes to mind as players unwilling to come to a consensus that the game is flawed and adjust the rules so they can follow the intent of the game and not the flaws in the rules of the game.
Okay, I'll grant you that. Not a huge step from what they already do, but it is a step.
Dear lotterywinner, from my perspective it sounds like you want to scalp a little extra on the side. Or you have completly other valid reasons to ask this question. Which one is it?
> The economy on the other hand is in total ruins, largely because of policies related to COVID-19, which also had a marginal impact on emissions.

This is the reddest of herrings. The government's role is to strive for the security and safety of its citizens. "Policies related to COVID-19" are part and parcel of that.

The economy is "in ruins" not because of "policies related to COVID-19", but because in striving for squeezing every last drop of profitability out of things, a "just-in-time" model was adopted for everything under the sun, which fell apart at the first real obstacle.

It's a supply-side crunch from the bottom of the chain on up. Companies which are depleted of capital in order to line people's pockets are unable to jumpstart the process fiscally, and decades of mistreating workers is backfiring as a labor shortage which *should* drive increased wages is leading only to calls for bailouts and government intervention, or _anything_ other than paying market wages.

Don't blame governments for unfettered capitalism being an ouroboros.
I suppose it's impossible to ever really know what the true nature of reality is. We only have models which have an accuracy of x%. It's quite possible, dare I say likely, that e.g. quantum mechanics as we understand it today is just an approximate model of how things really are. I suspect that the fundamental nature of reality is probably at a scale too small to be testable anyway.
On the other hand, in a typical Netflix binging scenario, this would cause tens of gigabytes of avoidable SSD writes.

Especially for mobile devices with fairly small storage sizes, this can easily represent a sizable fraction of their total write endurance.

- DTO: The “domain model” for us.

- DB objects: A poor flat view of those DTOs, for example complex subobjects can be jsonized, or mapped as a foreign key.

Basically it is the role of the DAO to transform the DTOs into DBOs and store them immediately, or read the tables and transform them into structured DTOs. Why? Because the DB representation is always ugly.

So our application works mostly only with the DTOs. The trick is to make the DTOs rich: Adding methods onto them to ease manipulation, and add validation so that a DTO can only exist in a valid state (as much as possible, modulo when they come from the front-end). So it’s not “setDocument(abc)” then “setState(HAS_DOCUMENT)” then “setLastUpdated(now())”. It’s “.addDocument(doc)” and it changes the state accordingly, so the state is always coherent.

So, our DTOs only have Json annotations on them.

And merging DTOs and DB objects? Never succeeded even on a simple app. I wish we could write into tables without copying data into the DB objects.
That's actually really cool if you wanted to send input over the same connection. Like, if the thing that's remote is the computer, not the monitor or projector. Put your noisy graphics workstation in the utility room or something, run Thunderbolt & USB3 over fiber to your desk on another floor, but still feel like it's local, not like RDP or VNC.

Way too expensive for that, but if the price drops a bunch on that tech, that'd become an option.
> Tesla with an inferior product will have much more money to throw at the problem vis-a-vis Waymo .

>Also everybody wants to work at Tesla , not so much Waymo.

Highly doubt both of these. Tesla has a bigger budget total than Waymo but Tesla's FSD team is probably smaller than Waymo. Plus they have much more access to compute resources and AI expertise, Alphabet's R&D spend on AI is probably close to Tesla's entire revenue

I mean it’s what I do professionally as well. I haven’t been doing it nearly 16 years, but have been at it near 10. What I was explaining with cars and vehicles is extrapolation on servers can be accurately done because of dead reckoning. The video explains why determinism in you physics isn’t necessary, but that your packets and inputs need to be. That’s the purpose of jitter buffers and input buffers on the server. Because the server has your last input, and you’re in a car, it can simulate the car in a predictable way.
Please, do not get your news from Reason magazine. California Title 20 efficiency code for appliances includes formulas for how much energy a computer may consume in a year. They don't ban gaming systems or any other system. I actually really appreciate how these regulations are written because they favor computers that do more with their energy input, since they allow a larger energy budget for powerful computers, scaling up based on system memory, storage, and bandwidth.

- DIY

- Healthy eating

Negative:

- the pandemic duh

- harder to make new friends

- limited hobbies and travel
> Not much gained imho.

The more complex your system gets the more you will appreciate this division. However at the outset it just makes things more complex than the situation warrants and it's not clear if the system will ever grow large and complex enough to pay for this expense.

I recommend creating your domain model as a simple wrapper around the persistence model. This way if the whole system never gets complex you will retain 95% of simplicity and if it does get complex you're one refactoring away from making your "shallow" domain model into a full-blown domain model.

Likewise the outbound part of your view/DTO model can be a simple wrapper around the domain model. Inbound models will probably have to be their own classes with extra mapping. The latter might be a bit of a pain (in ASP.NET MVC, for example), however I suspect the pain is instructive - making your inbound DTO a copy of the entire object could be simply the wrong path altogether.

> I think the author is arguing for NASA to take a cautiously optimist stance on Starship, instead of assuming it won't work at all until it does.

NASA has taken a cautiously optimistic stance on Starship. The assignment of the HLS to Starship and no other provider was an aggressively optimistic stance from NASA that surprised many of the space industry observers at the time of its announcement. The expectation (and normal NASA behavior) would've been two assign the HLS to multiple vendors, at a reduced funding level and stretch the timelines out.

So, I'd argue that NASA is already being quite bullish on Starship given the projects and funding that they have available.
The simple fact is that, unsurprisingly, a lot of devs don't care. Apple can lead a horse to water, but they ultimately can't make them drink. By chasing such a radical paradigm shift with their new computers, there are inevitably going to be developers who get thrown under the bus without chance for recourse. Look at Valve's Proton project, which was intended to support MacOS just as well as Linux for near-perfect translation of DirectX games. When they started transitioning to ARM, they threw away so many system-side libraries and OS interfaces that Valve simply had to scrap the version altogether, since the amount of work required to get it working on Mac would be astronomically higher than the effort it takes to maintain it on Linux.

I'm trying to remain impartial here, but so long as the majority of the desktop market share stays on x86, there won't really be much financial incentive for developers to port things to ARM. We had the same issue a decade ago when the Raspberry Pi hit markets, with hardly enough software to get it running desktop Linux. Fast forward to today, and people still don't really care all that much.
> In Go, type information is not available at compile time.

Not sure, but I expect they are using multiple servers with some specialized routing so that requests are both load balanced and globally distributed.

Anecdotally, yeah. It's worth it. To be frank (I'll comment more on this elsewhere) I think the risk of permanent sexual dysfunction or any other permanent effect is dramatically overblown by articles like this one. The short-term and while-you're-taking-it side effects are real, but for me and many others well worth it.

Everyone in my family has some sort of anxiety issue. Citalopram (with the help of therapy and lifestyle changes) helped me overcome severe anxiety, helped my brother stop throwing up whenever he got in a too-high-pressure situation, and gave my sister the willpower to move out of my parents' house and get a job.

They're good drugs with frustrating downsides. That's life. I'd still recommend them.
They've been discussed as one of the several "feature proposals for Go 2.0" for couple of years, the playground for them is called "https://go2goplay.golang.org/", the issues with them go into "cmd/go2go" tag on Github, so that's why I called them "Go 2's generics".

And weren't they supposed to be in Go 1.17 but then got delayed?
The problem with any such "climate disaster" is that humans are incapable of conceptualizing the impact of such slow change.

We can't even solve our water use, and that is going to cause collapse much sooner than the climate. And it's obvious looking at the oncoming water crisis that those who are most vulnerable will also be least protected, while the supply chains oligarchical institutions are going to be nearly completely enshrined.

We are 20 years away, as a conglomeration of democracies, from even being capable of appropriately addressing climate change.
Leading a team spanning more than 8 timezones is hard - but what it usually means is they don't know how to manage (read: trust) and have no leadership experience with remote teams. The factory/assembly line of managing teams is still common - they don't really understand how to asynchronously build software itself. Many employers in the US are particularly keen on NOT hiring in the EU because of the significant difference in both contract and employment laws in the two regions, whereas in Asia is cheap enough and there are plenty of contracting or outsourcing firms to help manage that requirement.

I have to agree with you here. Given NASA's position it has to wait and see how successful Starship will be. NASA cannot afford to lose ground financially, politically, or publicly if they bet on Starship only for there to be issues with it down the line. They're not the owners of this tech which gives them time and flexibility to wait for the right moment to capitalize on it.

I can only assume they are internally very excited at the prospect of what Starship can be to them in the future but that can't be fully expressed if something out of their control has not been fully proven. They will jump on this as soon as the risk is outweighed by the benefit which, as the author argues, is in the process of happening.

I feel like these sorts of posts suck air away from actual real criticisms of the company and its products. It makes some types of people look like they have a vendetta rather than legitimate concerns, at worst it looks like apple click-bait.

The worst case scenario is the result of the developer not using the menu bar APIs - instead they arbitrarily place its UI elements in a screen location to make them look like they’re part of the menu bar: low and behold the shitty hack finally blew up (although there were always problems with this approach: such as it not playing along with rearranging menu bar items.)

The other issue described exists regardless if there is a notch or not and has always been made worse by scaling the UI up. While the notch certainly exacerbates the limited space issue for long menu bars, there is literally a handful of ways to deal with it permanently even before developers release patches to work with the notch. All of the small laptops (with or without the notch) have this “issue”.

Both of these issues were things the developer wouldn’t have known about prior, simultaneously Apple provided a work around for apps that don’t address it until said apps update.

Seems like a lot of fuss over nothing.

My guess is they've fixed in hardware known issues that previously got patched with performance-robbing microcode updates. So the bulk of that claimed 15% IPC boost might be from that, with some new stuff sprinkled in.

Work may be watching, but “it might not be as bad as you think”
I wasn't talking about consumption, I was talking about the people making the videos. They do not want people to watch it in 480p unless it's the last resort. It's a similar mindset to famous directors hating when people watch their movies on phones.

I've fought and lost this battle many many times, and have used mobile bandwidth as a reason too.

High resolution video hosting/streaming is free, so no one wants to pay to host it. I think there are major downsides to hosting on YouTube, but in my experience the vast majority of people do not care.
