Agree with this. The way I start every interview is attempting to disarm the other person and making them feel at ease. I kick back and try and make the conversation as casual and amicable as possible, even if I notice that they aren’t a good fit along the way.
I thought this was great.

Apparently back in the day, math professors could be challenged for their posts at any time where each professor sent like 30 questions to the other. So for job security, a major discovery wouldn't necessarily be published, so the professor could use it in their defense.
macOS still crashes, has weird bugs and every 6 months they go and change a bunch of shit that either deprecates functionality, causes conflict with how things work or takes another handful of your privacy.

Grass isn't always greener.

Edit for an example, I'm stuck on Catalina because they tried deprecating functionality my firewall uses. And the window shifter shortcut key program I use won't work in Big Sur.
Generally authentication is authn and authorization is authz
> gained additional protection against the Delta variant.

we've officially come full circle!

my original complaint is that these studies all baseline against candidates that were vaccinated within the 6 months prior to publishing.

the gained improvement is already marginal in this scenario, but if the improvement diminishes even further, then it's hard to justify a mandate.
A tagging system seems to me to be a superset of the hierarchical model.

Just tag the files '/projects/a/src/module/name/'
etc. and perhaps another tag for file type, and the models are more or less the same.
The arrow keys work. As does Firefox reader mode. But my mouse wheel scrolls by sixteen lines!
In 2002 it definitely should have been an integer.

In 2021 I’d recommend just turning off the IPv6 allocation or deleting it from DNS like this site does.
As a counterpoint, I was a Linux user for ~20 years (eventually with a macOS dev machine on my desk as well).

I got so sick of troubleshooting issues myself, I switched to Windows 7 and have never had to troubleshoot my OS since then. I don't google Windows issues, I don't have crashes, nothing.

It's nice to have a machine that I can just work on and not constantly debug.

(I 100% expect privacy advocates to admonish me for this, but I use hardware I assembled myself and block MS telemetry.)
I know exactly what you mean, but I hate this on programs in Java and C++ too.
There is no "this engineer should only touch glue code" and "this engineer should work on the really hard cool stuff". For category A, if something is expected to be extremely tedious drudgery, usually vendors/contractors are used rather than full time employees.
Yeah I am thinking about the possibility too...
That's ridiculous.

Like saying, hey poking that bear is no big deal because I have a gun.

Threats alone are enough to make life miserable. Having an arsenal of guns will be of little comfort to your family.
inter-library loans beg to disagree.
I find a lot of masters students who didn't study computer science as an undergrad are woefully unprepared for the realities of the job. A lot of masters programs (even from top-tier schools like UPenn) seem to split students into groups frequently. If everyone knows how to program already, great, but there is a lot of benefit to new programs in doing stuff like `printf("hello world")` that won't ever get covered in a masters program. Put simply, a masters program is not the place you want to learn programming basics.

When you get a masters, you need a good idea of what you want to achieve. "Breaking into the software industry" isn't concrete enough, but even with that goal, I'm sure your masters has helped get you past resume screening. If you don't have a specific, advanced topic you'd like to tackle during your masters, you're going to waste a lot of time and money.
Desktop Linux is easily the least-stable OS I use with any regularity. It was my main OS from something like '01-'10, but after I finally gave OS X a try, and since Windows got its shit together some time late in the WinXP service pack cycle (or, arguably, Win2k, but that wouldn't run my games) and stopped crashing all the time, it's really hard to justify using desktop Linux.

Does the OS hard lock or completely crash? No... unless you have graphics drivers issues, which isn't unlikely. Then, oh man, yes, lots. X/Wayland crashes that restart the window server? Yep. Applications crashing pretty regularly or glitching out so badly they have to be restarted, including the basic applications distributed with the heavier DEs? Yep. And it turns out that your windowing environment crashing or the main program you're currently using crashing is really close to as bad as the whole machine blue-screening in Windows, from the perspective of the user. Using Linux makes me anxious, even though I very much know WTF I'm doing with it. MacOS and even (spits) Windows don't do that to me, any more. Now that I've experienced not feeling that way, I can't go back. I go years between work-lost crashes of any sort at all on MacOS. Linux, one month without such a thing would be miraculous.

If you build up from almost nothing and keep things very minimal and have very boring and stable old hardware, and do as much as possible from the command line, it can be kinda OK, but it's a lot of work to set something up like that, and ongoing effort every time you do something manually that'd be automatic or trivial on a more full-featured GUI desktop. If you start with something like Ubuntu or Fedora standard desktop installs, though, there's just too much that can go wrong, and it will, with some frequency.

I could tolerate some hardware or workflows not working and things generally being a little less convenient, maybe, if it were rock solid, but it's very far from that. The main problems seem to be that its entire graphics stack is incredibly fragile (Wayland doesn't seem to have done much, if anything, to fix that) and it's way too easy for a glitchy driver to screw up the whole system.

Is there any sort of within-a-page HTTPS "secured" function?

Like how banks have that "only type your password if we show your correct profile picture". Almost like if embedded tweets could be "signed" by twitter in a way that would register in my browser in a graphical way that would not be known to the server itself (ie putting the twitter logo next to a tweet is easily faked). But if content appearing to be from twitter was verified instead, and had my custom chosen avatar next to each showing both my key and twitter's key had signed the text.

Maybe not making sense, if anyone wants to play this back clearer go for it :)
Yup. Another issue is that there are still many things we cannot do with electricity alone, for example steel production, which accounts for 7-9% of CO2 emissions.
The phenomenon the previous post was responding to of kikokushijyo (ie returnee kids) is pretty strange and unique to somewhere like Japan (or other closed highly mannered social groups like 19th C. British aristocracy) with complicated social rules and obligations that one is supposed to internalize from very early in life. Kids are bullied or denied certain opportunities essentially because Japanese culture is so peculiar that they are in an uncanny valley of looking, speaking and being Japanese but not knowing all the rules perfectly.
Unfortunately you might have a nice 4gb for dev work after WindowServer takes 28gb :(
Perfect question, I was thinking of asking it here as well. I'll just expand it with a couple of points:

- What would the properties of vaccines need to be (efficacy, etc.), for experts to deem the vax mandates not reasonable?

- Same about face masks. How low the estimated efficiency must be for mandates to not be acceptable?

- Bonus point: how more soul-crushing the curfews and other movement limits need to be for them to remain in the realm of personal choice?

In other words, I would like to gauge how "falsifiable" is the "scientifically-informed" reasoning behind covid-enthusiasts' defense doctrine.
Personal programming projects and normal web browsing type stuff. What has been most noticeably faster for me is compiling code.
The US rules are not only complicated but they have changed over time, and the determination is usually based on the rules at the time you were born. If both parents are American, or you are born in the US, it is pretty straightforward and mostly always has been. If only one parent is American and you are born overseas, “natural-born” citizenship is not automatic and depends on other factors. Having a single American parent is not sufficient on its own to be a natural-born American under US law.

This is why it became a thing with Obama. If he was born in the US then it was unambiguous. If he was born outside the US then the aggregate circumstances of his birth had a legitimate potential, under the rules at the time, to deem him not “natural-born”. It isn’t terribly surprising that people with a political angle were going to litigate that in the court of public opinion, and the vast majority of Americans have no idea how those citizenship laws work.

> 38G are in used caching things for applications

The 38G isn't "cached app memory" (there is no such thing), it's actual resident memory, calculated as the sum of the second column. The same as "RES" in Linux. There is no memory cache that differentiates apps from non-apps (whatever that is?), there is just regular file memory cache, which is labelled below the application memory section, shown to be using 13G.

Every file you open on your system (read: app you open, file that macOS accesses, etc.) will be automatically read into the file cache and left there until some event, such as not having any unused memory since all of it is used as cache, requires some contents of the cache to be evicted to make room for an application.

If this system had been low on RAM, this "Control Center" app would have been paging to disk to make room for the gigantic 26G it "needs" (the fact that it needs this much is a bug/leak. It should not be showing a number that high in that field, which is the resident memory required by the app.)

In summary, unused memory is meant to be used for caching files (see https://www.linuxatemyram.com/). The cache is lowest priority and almost considered "free" memory, in the sense that the cache can be evicted anytime to make room for actual application resident memory. In this case, "Control Center" is using 26G of resident memory, not cache (which is not shown in that column at all.) This is a bug/memory leak.
If anyone wants to do any fun OS X GPU rabbitholing, this command will dump out a bunch of stuff from the IO Registry as an XML/plist:

ioreg -c IOGraphicsAccelerator2 -r -l -a

The PerformanceStatistics and IOReportChannels dicts are particularly juicy, and under IORegistryEntryChildren you can see which processes (IOUserClientCreator) are using what OS-level GPU resources, including Metal vs OpenGL API.
A composite index is literally just concatenating the fields and then indexing that value. This is not technology that was out of reach of MySQL in 2002 and there is no reason to presume it was so when TFA clearly described the problem as a complete lack of indexes.
I love it, love the way principal engineers in google said that. I know how nervous some candidates are, also how nervous I am when I want to change jobs to big tech companies and being interviewed like that (man live coding sucks).

Wished more companies are implementing this way of interviews
A friend of mine went to school with the son of an exiled king. Everything was fine -- this fellow had a proper passport, visa, etc. I suppose being a prince helps a bit with nation-state level paperwork.

The problem occurred when the prince had to seek urgent care, the Emergency Room of a rural hospital.

They needed first name, last name. The prince didn't have a way to fill out the family name, the last name. English was not his first language, he was bleeding, and it was a late night for everyone all around.

So it became a real argument. Finally my friend leans over and says "SMITH. His last name is Smith!"

The orderly was able to fill out the form, and everyone was better off.
Similar but mine is ~/tmp and I have a cron job that deletes any files/folders over 30 days old.
But there are many things that you don't want to store on a giant software company's computersystems that's specialized on examining data.
Semicolon/method cascade is one of my favorite bits of Smalltalk syntax.

I'm a bit neutral on returning self (either explicitly or implicitly), although it enables left-to-right pseudo-expressions like 1 + 2 * 3.
By local living costs, I do mean whatever costs are required to live in the area one lives. Whether or not those products or services are the same everywhere or not.

But the fact of the matter is, the costs that make up the largest portion of most people's lives are locally spent.
Yeah i know some true believers and they are way overexposed to this nonsense. The rush for an exit is going to look like The Squid Game.
Its true on Linux. It wasn't used because it wasn't free software and you had to pay to use it, it was a default propietary UNIX GUI on commercial UNIX computers. You're assuming Motif+CDE has always been open source and used on Linux, it became free software too late, GNOME and KDE became better DE, were free, it wasn't as good as those alternatives by that time and nobody had any incentive to switch to CDE (desktop Linux didn’t even use it aside from a blip that RH did).
Motif was propietary software until 2012 and subject to royalty fees, the same could be said about OSS for linux audio, which they abandoned for ALSA since it wasn't proprietary (OSS went from free to proprietary so it was abandoned, by the time it was free again nobody wanted to use it), except nobody used CDE or motif on linux aside from RH for a short time because it wasn't free software.
I had Windows Vista in college. I learned to save often and have the main copy on a flash drive (then copy to the HDD in case I lost the flash drive).
Well, I can use Postgres but don't know anything about Excel.

I completed my bachelors in Software Engineering last year. I have had a career in Software Development for 15 years prior. Aside from a few classes about security, logic and data structures, I can say that I didn’t learn a lot new in terms of programming.

This is really important: Universities don’t teach you your job skills.

What most university programs are designed for is a generalized understanding of the subject matter, a standardized set of teachings, and perhaps the greatest unspoken goal: A piece of paper that tells everyone else you worked 120+ credit hours on with that you probably didn’t want to do most of the time.

You can probably get all the programming instruction you get in a university online. But virtually all of that is going to be 100-200 level classes anyway. Because after that it’s not programming, it’s theory.
I work daily in Linux, OSX, and Windows. If there was significant differences in responsiveness for day to day usage, I would notice.

OSX is plenty responsive, and I basically never see beachballs.

It's not a matter of low standards.
How I wish this article and information gets translated into Japanese…
Your biggest misconception seems to be that the BBS scene was a for-profit thing. It mostly wasn't, although there were a few for-profit BBSes, which were larger. Most BBSes were a computer hobbyist with a modem; a lot of them (maybe half?) only operated during certain hours of the day, so that the owner could use their computer at other hours (we mostly didn't have multitasking OSes) and maybe also receive calls on their phone line (most people didn't have two phone lines).

The internet predates BBSes and evolved concurrently with them before eventually displacing them more or less completely.

Social media networks are pretty different. BBSes were more like Hacker News.
https://perkeep.org/ seems relevant and not mentioned yet here.
> People whose names break my system are weird outliers. They should have had solid, acceptable names, like 田中太郎.

> No, your system is badly designed.

> This particular example name is perhaps best known as the name of an alien in an anime series (and a manga). There have also been real people with this name.

I feel like the author of this page missed the original joke here: The sentence is in English so the reader is primed to expect an English name, or at least something representable in ascii/latin characters, and then it drops something totally different to challenge the reader's expectations.
Also if you don't care about permanent residency, Japan will give pretty much anyone with a degree and a job offer a working visa. And working visas aren't tied to an employer, you're free to change jobs, so unless you want to work freelance without a sponsoring employer, PR isn't super important.

The lack of skilled immigration to Japan has nothing to do with strict immigration law.

The fact of the matter is simply that Japan is not an attractive job market for skilled professionals. Salary is low, the language barrier is high, and the work environment is notoriously poor.
This is fascinating, thanks for sharing.

I was there and I don't remember it like you describe. MySQL was certainly not a toy database in 2002. I learned PHP from a book called "PHP and MySQL". They went together like white on rice. Every forum software used it. Hell, even today Uber uses MySQL at a VERY large scale to power their schemaless database.

For me, typesetting my handwritten notes was part of the learning process. Usually one textbook is not enough for me, I always reference multiple sources (textbook, lecture notes, blog posts, homework problems) when learning so it's helpful to put a condensed version of everything in one place. Textbooks usually have a lot of fluff. My personal notes are also really helpful as reference material later -- three months from now I probably won't remember anything that I read today.
> Adding an index now increases the insert operation cost/time

that insert is happening after you've checked the table to see if the record is present. so two operations whose times we care about are "select and accept email" and "select, tell the sender to come back in 20 minutes, and then insert".

the insert time effectively doesn't matter, unless you've decided to abandon discussion of the original table entirely without mentioning it.
>Huh? The current situation in most places is be vaccinated or have a negative covid test to go to events with large crowds and wear a mask when indoors. Other than wearing a mask sometimes and showing my vaccine card at concerts life has gone completely back to normal.

Tell that to the tens of millions of children - including pre-schoolers - who are forced to wear masks all day, every day, which greatly inhibits their learning and social development. Further, the fact is that places with "mask" (gauze masks and face covers - not actual N95 masks) mandates have not shown to have lower covid transmission rates than places without such mandates. That's the reality of the situation no matter what the so-called experts say.
> These issues notwithstanding, the total user experience of owning a Mac laptop is far superior to any Linux or Windows machine I've tried, at least in the past 3 years or so.

That.

I don't love Apple. They're a corporation, so at best our interests temporarily align. Loving them would be absurd. I really really want them to have strong competitors. I'd love to be back on an open source OS full-time, like I was for many years.

Unfortunately, they're so far ahead of the competition, that they screw up, sometimes even in a few ways at the same time, and people come out saying "LOL and Apple fanboys won't switch to Linux even now", and that's true... but it's because I'd be trading a few problems for a few score problems.

I ran Linux on laptops and desktops for about a decade, as my main computers. Ubuntu near the end, Gentoo for about five years, Mandrake really early on, a little time with Fedora somewhere in there, a sprinkling of Debian. I still try it out every year or two! I wish it weren't, but it's still much, much worse, and in the best case slows me down and gets in my way more than a "bad" Apple machine with a "bad" version of an OS X / MacOS, barring actual faulty hardware.
Well, some new religions really do become successful. But your merchants and customers all need to convert, what if they dont wanna?
And yet a short while later, they released a patch that fixed the bug. So your physics claim is irrelevant.

The fact remains that they would not have released that software knowing it wouldn't work for Black people. And yet, they didn't notice the bug because they were making no effort to be inclusive.

The crypto value add is early adopter rewards as well as settlement when using the network. So, you basically captured it in your post. If the initial conditions are structured properly it becomes a virtuous cycle.

You can call it a pyramid scheme, but you should also acknowledge it solved a real world problem. Many old school players have failed to do literally the same thing with Lorawan...raise money...hire a team...find installers...make agreement with vertical asset owners...find customers... etc.

This is also changing tho, especially for younger intellectuals. Crisis after crisis people look at the CCCP experience with different eyes, and I am not just talking about babushkas.

I'm not sure that the lawyers would ever build a case on a quantitative analysis done by the lawyer. Not 100% sure. It's an interesting question. My suspicion is that they would use a credentialed "expert" to do any analysis submitted as evidence.

A lot of lawyers do "doc review," which is often about analyzing documents for data relevant to the case. I think natural language processing is being used to augment this process. Aside from that, I've haven't gotten the sense that my facility with analysis would be as useful as one might think.
