You'd do well providing some data for this quip. I've spent 10 minutes searching and could not find a confirmation. It's just the generic "hospitals are overwhelmed" BS. At least it's BS in the United States (which has a much higher case load), where you can see whether hospitals are overwhelmed or not (and yes, they are not), right on HHSs own website: https://protect-public.hhs.gov/pages/hospital-utilization
Food quantity and timing, saunas, and caffeine regulation.

1. I find the quantity and timing of food is a big deal. Meals that are too large (especially carb-wise) can really mess with my energy levels, especially if its breakfast. This can be tricky to balance though, as hungry energy can exacerbate rabbit-holing issues and possibly protein intake targets.

2. I sauna routinely for 16-20 min and it always has a big impact on my energy levels.

3. I make my own coffee and always measure out precise gram amounts I try to avoid deviating from. Helps me avoid "oh I just need another half cup cause the last one was maybe weak -> caffeine agitation -> crash" cycle (I'm fairly sensitive to caffeine, personally).
Interesting; for me it's the opposite. I find it too easy to linger around the physical workplace and never quite get away if I'm not careful.

For my current side project I am making collages out of images I took with my DSLR. I like to use expensive scaling algorithms because I’ll have to look at the result when I am done.

For this the natural ‘batch’ is one image and that justifies the overhead easily.

I used to work for a software company known for it's militant transparency. I'd often come across a technical problem that I wanted to solve so I'd open a public issue on the problem and plan to come back to it a week or two later. Inevitably when I did get around to starting work and ran a search the top hit would be my own public issue.

> If it is popular to have say a World Tree in a pool as your spawn point and said map is a popular one you would still have instance ownership even if the map itself is free software. Having your own instance would be found preferrable to most compared to a common flooded one with millions clipping through each other and trolls rampant.

I don't really understand how lack of ownership strips the ability to shard instances.

> because they are the ones making, running, and maintaining the goddamned servers in question!

They are, because they are most capable. But do not underestimate that others do so as well, often in a much more just and equitable fashion. (See: The Pirate Bay/private trackers vs Spotify or Youtube)

And watch what you call juvenile, that perspective explains the world so much more clearly than any explanation that the guilty might offer
> because you didn't want to be found out as a kid

Heh. I remember sitting in a friend's basement computer cave and watching a kid log on to his board as a new user. It did ask for your age (he had some nekkid pitchers in the file area, etc.), so it was amusing to watch the kid type in that he was 11, then backspace and type in 35. Nice try, but no.

It wouldn't have worked anyway, as my friend always did voice verification of new users, and 35-year-olds named "C00L D00D" don't live with their mother who says they're only 11. :-)
I like to organize files in a similar way but use spaces in filenames. I find it a lot easier to read filenames that way, and in the shell, <tab> will add all the necessary quotes / backslashes.

...which is a default export, not a named export, as I already explained. My point was about the lack of exporting named exports without the need to declare variable names.

Your solution will work only once in a file, therefore it is useless to batch-export lots of imports for the mentioned use case of an "index" file that exports all your classes and definitions.
The problem with "decent at programming" is that it's often only a fraction of the job. You rarely get formal specifications and clear orders. Nearly everything involves discussion of the user's needs or eliciting the circumstances of a bug.

Real programming is very little like they teach in school and even less like coding competition. Being good at programming is great, and mandatory, but if you can't also have a conversation then you can't actually do most jobs.

Docker is built on specific features of the Linux kernel. From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docker_(software):

> When running on Linux, Docker uses the resource isolation features of the Linux kernel (such as cgroups and kernel namespaces) and a union-capable file system (such as OverlayFS)to allow containers to run within a single Linux instance, avoiding the overhead of starting and maintaining virtual machines.[12] Docker on macOS uses a Linux virtual machine to run the containers.

I did blow up my serial ports several times with incorrectly wired cables. Luckily the first time I put the controller IC in a socket so the second time around it was easy :P But it was pretty sensitive to stuff like that. I've never managed to blow up a PC serial port and IIRC the controller IC was the same so I guess they used extra buffering or something.

Consider: what would the prevailing interest in crypto be -- think of the US Gemini exchange for example -- if at the end of they day Gemini couldn't extract US dollars from it. I don't think Gemini would be a going concern. Therein is incoherence: all the tap dancing and hand waving by crypto adherents is undone without the ability to extract fiat currency. I think that says a lot.

I’ve had some candidates who were mediocre in the verbal portion who blew me out of the water with their writing. They were clearly smart and capable people but were just anxious. I recommend these people be hired.

I’ve also had people who did great in the verbal portion completely make a fool of themselves in the written portion. They have the confidence and social ability, but they often show they’re missing the skills. They’d probably make better sales people than engineers.

I haven’t yet had someone who totally bombed the verbal do a good job in the written portion. All of the ones I’ve had were just overall poor communicators. If you can’t communicate an idea verbally or written, it’s going to be tough to work with a team of people who like to self-organize.

I don’t put the written portion in any time-block, if that’s what you’re saying. I normally give it via email and give people a week to get back to me.
I was a SysOp from the twilight years of BBS. To answer your questions:

The costs were mostly paid by the SysOps. In the form of additional phone lines, disk space, maintenance time etc... A user would have to worry about long distance charges.

Re: average people.
At the time, there was much more of a dividing line between computer people and average person. Not that you had to be an expert, but you did have to be an enthusiast. The average person would have neither the skill nor inclination/interest.

Not very similar to social media. Closest description would be a combo of 4chan, HN, and sourceforge, but much more local and inward looking. Like comparing a small town bar vs tinder.

"The BBS industry" was so small that the phrase sounds silly to say. Certainly there were official business bbs and larger players but scale was nothing compared to modern tech companies.

The hardest thing to explain now is how novel participating in a network like this was. Prior to large scale internet access, computers were stand alone devices. Networks were arcane company owned things. Having your computer dynamically bring up what others were publishing was new and interesting.
Not that weird, I still have a bunch of SPARC Netras with serial ports only (no video) and several HP-UX boxes <3

How is this distinct from organizing world information? If the goal is to shelve books in a way that adds value to the information-seeker, you have to arrange them according to some definition of similarity. That decision about what makes one thing similar to another encodes a view of the world.

Apple has always been great to me with fixing things as long as I took it in to an apple store. The few times they didn’t do it for free they did the repairs at what I would consider a reasonable price.

Programmers need to learn from bureaucrats of the 19th century. When bookkeeping of the people truly became a thing in the 1800s, industrialised nations sent out bureaucrats to collect the names of people in villages. Unfortunately, people seldom had enough names to fill in the forms the bureaucrats had. The idea of a family name was not something bestowed to nor necessary for a lowborn. If you're the only Jack in town, why bother with any other name than Jack?

Not contend with simply filling in Jack, bureaucrats would simply come up with a last name for them. Or - if they felt so inclined - ask the person to come up with one themselves. They would often chose their occupation. Americans know that a lot of modern family name spellings in the US are the result of careless bureaucrats at Ellis Island.

Back then, family names, house names, last names and surnames weren't necessarily the same thing. One might have more than one. You may be of one House, but your last name was Jackson (son of Jack). Also somewhat inconvenient for these bureaucrats with few fields on their forms. And also, stop changing last name from generation to generation.

Though, fortunately for these bureaucrats, unlike modern programmers, when the map did not fit the terrain, they could simply alter the terrain.
Let me tell you about when Hydrogen was invented 13 Billion years ago.
It's not fully French specific — conventionally, transliterated Japanese family names are rendered in ALL CAPS, particularly when it's unclear whether or not the name is being presented in Japanese-style family-name-first order to western audiences who may otherwise confuse the given and family names.
"Interview" is ambiguous here. No matter what you do, it's always true that you're interviewing the candidate in the "assessing a candidate" sense, but you don't have to do this by interviewing them in the sense of "question and answer format you'd see a journalist use".

As a 40 year old who has been in software for last 20 years and managed hardware+software product construction a few years, from implementation to management, here’s my advice given your experiences and time constraints:

* Play to your strengths

Leverage your experiences and map them over to software. The only real difference is that the QA and shipping process can be updated hourly vs hardware which takes months at minimum, so build perfection isn’t as hard of a constraint.

Leverage your finance, strat, and operations knowledge. That’s basically the Eng. Manager’s job (Director level/VP level?). Most coders can’t tell you the business value of their code/tasks - that’s a problem to bridge the value prop back to the business side. Also most “Eng” think there’s infinite resources, but don’t account for costs $$$ to use cloud services.

My advice:
* learn the software construction process
* DO NOT GO INTO IMPLEMENTATION - unless you’re super passionate about it, there’s no way to be proficient or good at it in 1.5 years - college grads will lap you. CS grads by default have done it for 4years and are still usually not that ready to switch from solo academia into a team, corporate standard.

Hope that gives you a perspective to consider!
At lunch, avoid bread, pasta, rice, potato. Basically anything starch rich while having little to no fibers. Said differently stick to food with low GI [1]. Best is to prepare your lunch yourself. Since you'll have to take it at the office, it won't be too copious. And you won't have to eat at the restaurant where food usually contains too much saturated fat and salt. All these combined is the best way to avoid the afternoon drop of energy.

I also drink no water during meals. I only drink in between. I cannot tell exactly what it does. I just read it was good and got used to it.

Spiders are often evil in cartoons so children usually do not like them. My children did not watch tv much but still were vary (sometimes afraid) of spiders.

I had them look at them when they work, in forests or sometimes at home and told how useful they are. And suddenly they were happy when a spider lived in they room.

They even managed to convert their friends and recently, some 10 years later, I witnessed how one of said friends noticed a spider on the ceiling and smiled.

If the stereotypes of spiders change, so will their level of acceptance.
At least in the UK there's no point in driving a RHD vehicle unless you frequent McDrive or some very strange parking garage.

That jogged my memory; what I was thinking of was TPL Dataflow. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/parallel-pr...

> The Task Parallel Library (TPL) provides dataflow components to help increase the robustness of concurrency-enabled applications. These dataflow components are collectively referred to as the TPL Dataflow Library. This dataflow model promotes actor-based programming by providing in-process message passing for coarse-grained dataflow and pipelining tasks. The dataflow components build on the types and scheduling infrastructure of the TPL and integrate with the C#, Visual Basic, and F# language support for asynchronous programming.
it doesnt even need to be explainable. If a model comes up with an equation that reconciles quantum physics with gravity then we could try to reason how it came to it, but we don't need to. As long as the model described in the equation is understandable by humans it should be enough. However most ML models are black boxes that solve problems without generating models of the world (that we know of)

Physicists and mathematicians are uncomfortable with computer-generated proofs. I think they 'd be less uncomfortable with computer-generated theories because they can understand those

One of the things people complained about with the Apple butterfly keyboard was that they keys were noisier. They also had less travel, less space between the keys but still were only slightly thinner. When then replaced those with the older scissor-switch keyboards in 2019, the new ones were quieter and did not require the laptops to be thicker. the new ones also seem to be much more reliable.

There seem to be two preferences for keyboards. Some prefer quiet typing keyboards (which often have less travel). Others prefer the mechanical keyboard with more travel and a tendency for “clacky” sounds.
