Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry you had to go through that, truly, divorce is a traumatic experience unlike any other, but it does bring some solace to know I'm not the only one who's either been in or is in some sticky situations. Unfortunately I haven't been as lucky in finding something early on to build on. I was about a year and a half into my first position after diploma, and was laid-off, then terminated from my next 3 months in, then again, then again, then again. The only light in that dark being a decent python oriented thing in a research department. Reflecting on that, I might have been in over my head, too cocky as well, with really nothing to base it on other than a passing capability with programming and intense motivation to produce good results. But I was also in the wrong places that I wasn't well-suited for; a constant learning process that has taught me a bit about myself. Looking at the future seems rather bleak, as I'm sure you've felt many times, and I'm pretty much just counting on getting lucky at some point.

I am curious though, what were the more mechanical aspects of how you made that transition? Did you have a plan to practice algorithms in a certain way and then wait till you were contacted by the right recruiter? How did you go about it? Did you more simply just try and do 1 problem a day and then build that up, or did you find useful projects to apply more obscure algorithms to, that might be more interesting and motivating?
Undersrood. Then we're in the first case here where you're requesting the notes, or even the zeroth case where you want to know if it even has a legal basis, not necessarily acting on that basis.

I'm not a lawyer, but there are many here from some threads I've read.
>Google research shows that those who rigidly separate their personal and work lives are significantly happier about their well-being than those who tend to blur the lines between the two.

That's pretty ironic given that Google (and their ilk) have invested so much into making their campus' "sticky." Will this signal a sea change? I'm doubtful...
I'm old, so I was an adult during the golden era of the BBS. I started off with a Commodore 64 in about 1984, first with the plug-in 300 bps Commodore modem. I was active in my local C=64 user group, and a couple of the other guys worked for the local Baby Bell. They hooked me up with a surplus 1200 bps modem that required me to plug my phone line into a touchtone phone that controlled the modem.

I called only local BBSs, and several of them were run by other members of our user group. We spent a lot of time being technical, talking about file transfer protocols, online game programming, etc. Since it was just my wife and me and we lived in a tiny apartment, there was essentially no competition for the phone.

About the time I became president of our user group, Steve Case started up the QuantumLink online service (which eventually became America Online). As club president I was supposed to get five hours of time free each month. I'm pretty sure they didn't really pay much attention, because I spent a lot more than five hours a month on the service and never got a bill for it.

In the late 80s, BBSing seemed very advanced, and the memory of the duck-choking-on-a-kazoo sound of connecting still stirs something in me. It was oddly thrilling to exchange email and even chat with the sysop, even if he was a guy you saw on the bus a couple of times a week.
It's also fear. You're a new software developer and you just got your first job. You see how much more the other developers know than you and you're intimidated. "Well, I don't want to look stupid". You don't ask questions that you need to because of self-imposed fear and it stalls learning.
Linux is better supported on Chromebooks now. Some of them have been officially blessed by Google to do it so there shouldn't be any problems like that.

Haha it was fine for real time handwriting, I just did that because it forced me to go through my notes again and I felt like using a tablet may have been more distracting for me and other people.
You're being obtuse. Everybody can still use the application. The just need to supply a name that is valid to the application. THIS IS REASONABLE
They got popular because of their commitment to quality. "It just works" is and in many ways still is a key to their popularity. They whittle away at their "quality credit rating" the less and less they invest in these things, until their quality credit rating becomes low enough for a competitor exploit that and make them lose market share very quickly. It does make them money.
Land of Lisp has cartoons and some whimsy, but I don't think of it as especially why-pilled, personally. (Haven't read the other two.) I mean, Starting FORTH had cartoons and whimsy too in the 1980s.
A 2021 non-binding referendum in Canada's Province Of Alberta posed the following question: "Do you want Alberta to adopt year-round Daylight Saving Time, which is summer hours, eliminating the need to change our clocks twice a year?" This confused a lot of voters, many of whom wondered why only the Daylight Saving Time option was given. This was therefore a leading question and pretty-well destined to fail. An ideal, neutral question would have asked whether the practice of changing clocks twice a year should be ended.
I always do this after getting a rejection. They always give something vague like "you're awesome but too junior for us". A good time to request it is when they ask you to fill in a feedback survey.
Trump is the only reason why the US had two working vaccines in less than a year. We'd still be working through "FDA approval" bullshit if it wasn't for the guy, and hundreds of thousands more people would be dead as a result. Possibly millions, because Trump made it politically unpalatable to delay the regulatory approval of vaccines worldwide, same as DeSantis is making hard lockdowns politically unpalatable nationwide.
Seems like it was intended to be a simple and practical list of things that can be avoided or improved to reduce the process, rather than explaining the physics behind it.

But now that you mention it, this would be a nice opportunity for you to explain how thermodynamics applies to degradation of these kinds of materials mentioned.

A Drone Tried to Disrupt the Power Grid. It Won't Be the Last
NYC also closes train lines for weeks at a time for maintenance, whereas Tokyo never does so.

NYC switches train schedules after midnight to every 30m or 1h until 5 or 6. The schedules in Tokyo are at worst every 10m, but most are every 3-5m, or 5-7m until the last train.

There's tradeoffs both ways. I really like being able to get a train after midnight in NYC, but I somewhat prefer the frequency and consistency of the train lines in Tokyo.
To clarify things, PipeWire is an audio daemon, completely unaffiliated with https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq which is a set of headphone impulse responses. It just so happens that the recommended way to apply these impulse responses on Linux is EasyEffects, which now depends on both PipeWire and GTK4. Nonetheless, PipeWire is not EasyEffects and not AutoEq, and "Pipewire for some reason insists on using GTK4 for its UI though" is untrue because EasyEffects is not PipeWire's official GUI, and doesn't even come up when I search `pipewire gui`.

I haven't tested EasyEffects. With that in mind, PipeWire is buggy AF for the time being, and I've been working over the past week to clean things up (fixed a few bugs in plasmashell and pipewire so far, but I'm still learning and there's a great deal of bugs I haven't diagnosed and explained to the maintainers, it will probably take weeks longer for me to work through everything, and I'd very much prefer the program was written to handle race conditions and edge cases properly, instead of leaving users to discover bugs and trace the root cause through the labyrinthine IPC-heavy event-driven codebase after the fact).

You can't really get full-fledged closures without ditching the fundamental concept of Tcl, which is that "everything is a string". It's the same problem as OOP, or rather, object lifetime management - you can have that in Tcl, but only as long as you manage the lifetimes manually. For closures, this negates most of the benefits they provide.

Video games aren’t becoming web applications precisely because there are so many GPU libraries. I think this is also why they have so many immutable dependencies: they rely on low-level optimizations and various hacks which break on newer libraries.

Video games need to do expensive computations in real time. Most other apps don’t, which is why they can be ported to the web.
Considering that many corporations are just, now, beginning to take up Swift, after it has been out for seven years, I'd say this was a pretty sure bet.

I like SwiftUI. It shows a lot of promise, and I look forward to releasing products, written in it. I don't think it's especially mature, and maturity is important, when you need to release ambitious projects.

I'm not really in a hurry, though. I'll be getting around to working in SwiftUI, and I tend to do well at the things to which I apply myself.
Not really. References are pretty fundamental to Lisp, but are (at best) bolted on in Tcl.

I endorse every single word of this. As an EE pivoting to SWEng I completely endorse Zed Shaws book LPTHW and LMPTHW which teaches you to think about composing larger programs. You get a lot of practice on creating common Unix utilities. And once you have some Python under the belt migrate to Effective Python by Brett slatkin. Most importantly you should have an end goal, my initial goal back on 2006 was to get an entry level EE job that payed me a salary to support me and my wife and sponsored H1B. Fast forward to 2021 I am looking to get to work on Web3.0(solidity smart contracts and Decentralized oracles). So I am planning to learn Solodity using Brownie, React for Front end to crate Dapps and Algo/DS to pass the coding interview circus.

I’ve given this thought for an older MBP of mine that can’t upgrade to latest OS so that it can be used as a CI.

Yes, because we definitely don't have the capability to connect hardware to some kind of wireless, global communications network...

Use Onedrive. You already have 365, it comes with it. It has auto save, which is a lifesaver.
I haven't gotten around to looking into Oil Shell. Is it actually drawing any inspiration from Tcl? The "A Tour of the Oil Language" page[1] references Ruby and Python but not Tcl.

This might work for documents but a difficulty I see is how you would handle system files. See, with documents it's fine to always return a collection of files, but for a system file say /etc/passwd, you want to make sure you get exactly (status quo guarantees at most which is almost but not quite as good) one file.

The flagged comments list is actually useful. Not so much the comments themselves but the topics that spark such heated conversation.
Don't get too focused on "scripting". making one today and you learn quickly, that scripting/compiled is blurred. Eventually, both will borrow a little of the other to be more performant or useful.

---

I'm building on the side one (https://tablam.org) that is focused in the "crud" kind of apps and exist a lot of low-hanging fruit there. Simple stuff like making the paradigm relational/array from the start, support for decimals (and money and quantities?), in-built auto-vectorization (that comes almost for free when adding a bit of array languages) and a lot of other stuff I can't even explored yet.

Current scripting languages are not there yet in ergonomic or features to the kind of apps we actually do (ie: The popular ones, you bet niche experiments like mine are there on way or another).

---

And the challenge is even harder today!. In the article is mentioned better support for IDEs, that is more thought that I have expected!. This requiere a more sophisticate parsing pipeline and not much experience there around...

Also: Concurrency/parallelims. I don't think exist a truly nice ergonomic there. Sure, async/await is a little better, but none of the things I have experienced (with exception of SQL and magic) is something I could give to a "scripting user". You still need a complicated understanding of this, plus how express that in code.

Plus: Performance. Is possible to build very fast "scripting" languages! But is VERY hard to be fast across many workloads :(

And is terrible, because the kind of developers don't use them (C/c++ cough) will complain LOUDLY how terrible them are, and how you must not use them, when certain workload is not as optimal!
Not the OP but these countries do have to put up with America's influence.
Yes, but that's what I want to see in the first 5 minutes, that you understand the question and have asked clarifying Questions. Step 2 is explaining that you have an approach to the problem before you launch off. A lot of people come up with crazy solutions that won't work like trees based on primes instead of HashMaps. This next 5 minutes helps me understand that they're able to communicate their design and discuss it, and that they've got a plan. Also verifies they really understood the problem. This is where I course correct if needed.

Really, that 2nd 5 minutes is for YOU, the candidate. You can test out if I'm even going to accept your solution, also by talking it through I'm going to give you partial credit even if you have issues coding it as at least you could code it out.

Partial credit isn't a thing to sneeze at, stuff happens in an interview. Network issues, software issues. I've had interviews where many things happened and the interview went sideways or just had to end over the 1k or so interviews I've given.

I had an interview where I was the candidate recently where the system wouldn't log correctly, or log what failed, and wouldn't debug correctly. My code was correct except a flipped check, but the interviewer wanted it to run all the test cases. It took 15 minutes to debug the web ui to even see what test case was failing.

If I was the interviewer in that case, the partial credit for explaining the answer and the 98% code would have been fine and I would have called it the instant the candidate found an issue with the tool, and moved onto other questions.

I've also had interviews where the interviewer admitted they were trying out a new question and couldn't guide me or grade me well, that first 10 minutes counters that. Sure that's not really professional, however it happens.

I'm loving my M1 Mac mini. I use it mostly for recording and it's very nice for that.

I still have my big desktop, but if I was to start again I'd go Windows Laptop+ Mac Mini. Realistically I don't want to spend 2k on a laptop, it can ultimately be stolen , destroyed, might not last too long , etc.

But with a Mac Mini you buy into the Apple ecosystem at a fairly low price.

The written portion is part of our take-home coding test. We have the candidate do a short and simple coding exercise, and at the end, there's a couple open-ended questions about their approach, what they could have done better, etc.

I find it really insightful to give people a simple exercise to complete and then ask them to talk about it. The answers to the questions are almost more telling than the code itself. You can easily see who is struggling to understand the concepts, versus someone who just didn't have much time to complete it, just by reading their responses.

Even for the same exact code, someone might answer "I completed all of the requirements", and another person might answer "I wrote this in a hurry and it doesn't meet requirement [x] all of the time, but to handle circumstances like [y], I'd implement [z]". The latter person is always a better engineer.
This may sound random, just my gut feeling for debugging kicking in. Since Control Center seems to be implicated in this, and Control Center opens ports for Airplay connectivity[1], has anyone tried turning off Airplay sharing? Or just turning off wifi/connectivity completely and seeing if the memory pressure lets up?

>The internationalist world has produced freedom, security, and prosperity at orders of magnitude beyond what humanity ever experienced before.

- wouldn't be possible without being under the wing of the US

- most of them wouldn't even exist as independent states if they didn't have a nationalist period

all that distaste for nationalism would vanish the moment some tanks had showed up on their borders.

>Nationalism has a horrible track record, creating war and poverty, and the underlying curse, hate - arbitrarily, purposefully created - often by leaders using nationalism for their own power: 'be loyal to the nation, and I am the nation, I make the decisions'. Many, including Churchill, blamed nationalism for WWII (which is why the survivors built the UN and the predecessor of the EU).

every country in both world wars was nationalist. even the USSR had toned down commie stuff for the duration of WWII - which they called "The Great Patriotic War" in defense of "motherland", by the way.

SF is a perfect example of the consequences of not holding politicians accountable. So long as the leadership of this city panders to their constituents by playing far-left identity politics, they are immune to any responsibility. SF is not even an outlier, practically every major city in the US is a shithole.

It is such a tragedy to have watched this city rot over the past couple decades. My only goal at this point is to find a solid remote gig and get the fuck out.

Are they valuing a distributed ledger, or are the various CBDC projects more of a faster-horses answer for ACH?

A significant part of the need for distributed systems goes away when you're no longer trying to be trustless, and much of the role of a central bank is to be a central anchor of trust. They can run the whole damn ledger, and there's a solid case for doing so being part of a modern financial system.

The more sinister factor I could see is that bad actors like distributed systems because they represent a workaround for KYC/AML/capital control regulations. If Chase allows an account opened by $boogeyman_of_the_week, heads will roll. There's nobody that can be readily sued or intimidated to encourage a decentralized network into excluding a participant.
Thank you for existing and for being what you are.
Commander is very fun and really requires some brain power/strategy to win (I won once because the two remaining players accidentally took fatal damage, blocked creatures that died killed the attacker and the trample damage killed the defending player). Commander focused cards (not being reprinted anytime soon) have been going up in price during the "pandemic". I was playing commander at least several months before the "pandemic" began and I have been hot/cold with my enthusiasm for it because of price spikes and targeted buyouts. So, if you are getting into commander and want to buy into a custom deck it could be getting more expensive in the future.

I actually got out of Pokemon cards when the "pandemic" began. Almost every store was sold out of packs (I'm in Japan btw). This has been the case the whole time and I have a feeling that Pokemon cards produced during this time frame aren't going to hold value (a lot of product has been opened and when it floods the market it will be worth little).
Yeah, I’m just waiting to find the right place.
