But wait, it gets better!

One of the authors makes a living from taxpayer-funded endeavors (NIH, FDA). I imagine that if, eventually, he does enough to piss off people who pay him (say, Black taxpayers) to lose his funding, he'd whine about being cancelled so loudly, we won't need SETI.

"Not on my dime!” goes both ways, huh.

The other author is ungooglable, so they either work for the gov, or don't have to work at all.

Poking aside, the questions to ask are:

* Who are the people these two chaps see as being hurt by MIT's so-called "wokeness"? I.e., whom are they trying to help with their withdrawal of funds?

* Who are the people MIT sees as behind hurt by the people they stopped working with? I.e. whom is MIT trying to help with their options?

* Whom do the actions of MIT / people "canceled" by MIT actually hurt? What's the impact?

The answer to these questions is left as an exercise to the reader, and will tell everything about the situation at hand.

> It's strange that HN is the most antivaxx place on the internet that I know

I assume based on the fanatical nature of your post that for you anti-vax means anything but fervent orthodoxy, where nobody gets to exercise free thought and everyone has to prove on a minute by minute basis that they've followed whatever the New York Times thinks is the vaccine protocol du jour.

I say this, because I think what makes HN special is that it allows free thought. I've seen almost no "conspiracy theory" type vaccine discussion, only healthy a scepticism about different aspects. The consensus is clearly that the pros outweigh the cons, but this site somewhat uniquely allows a discussion instead of just calling any debate "anti-vax" and pretending the poster doesnt deserve to think for themselves. So all said, this is a feature, not a bug. If you're interested in a more religious discussion board, there are plenty.

Google for how the Linux Futex works. In short it's done by task switching after double checking the spinlock is still held. The kernel can do such a thing without the threat of a race condition because it can ensure no other task is running that would modify the spinlock state.
What do you expect them to do, instead? Simply not mention any alternatives? It's absurdly clear from the article that downgrading will leave you vulnerable, so anyone who actually cares is going to read the one (1) paragraph required to determine that.

The term “jaywalking” is a pretty American term (that there is a term at all) invented by the car lobby way back when to stigmatize pedestrians. Of course it makes sense to cross the street (that’s what it’s called—there’s no dedicated word for it) if it is safe to do so.

And of course it would be madness on any always-busy street or on a road with four lanes or more.

> I read this as sarcasm, but I re-read it and am not so sure?

I’ve seen both serious Marxist arguments for it and serious capitalist arguments for it (and also serious critiques of each of those camps that the other camp ultimately leads to that end!), among others, so while I don't think it is a good idea, it is not one I dismiss out of hand as a joke when I see it.
Probably a reference to the "residential school" system in Canada, which largely served as a way to extract indigenous kids from their nations and raise them instead in the culture of the people running the government, with parents fairly intentionally unable to visit their children. (Also they were in the news in recent months for the recent discoveries of mass graves.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Indian_residential_sc...

(It does seem, as another commenter pointed out, that this isn't necessarily the only end result of state involvement in child-raising. In particular, it seems to me you can draw a qualitative difference between greater state education as a way to expand the experiences of children growing up and as a way to constrain those experiences.)

This anti-Apple commentary is getting boring. We don’t have all the information and we definitely can’t guess Apple’s motivations. They definitely aren’t focused exclusively on maximising profits: they already have all the money, and they make plenty of things that don’t start life as a cash cow (Apple TV, AirTags, even iPads for a while).

If you don’t like Apple’s approach, use one of the other brands instead. The problem is no other mainstream manufacturers can be trusted to provide a device as secure and private as Apple’s.

I am a strong supporter of the right to repair, and it informs my decisions, but in many cases, I am willing to pay a premium for known, trusted and secure platform with hardened components from a trusted and secure supply chain. That includes the labour of installing those parts. There are cheaper options around if that isn’t important to me.
How’s the work culture? I’ve heard pretty bad stuff.
I found European train tickets between popular/useful destinations to be just as expensive as airline tickets. And, generally, airline tickets were cheaper if you could put some advance purchase days into your schedule.

When we were touring Europe (pre-Covid), we never had a city-to-city transition where the trains were significantly cheaper than air travel.

I suspect this is a function of the popularity of the cities being connected.
I’d say the average HN reader can afford to completely ignore how badly our motivations have screwed over the working class. It’s easy to call for lockdowns and “the new normal” when you and your significant other are making a half million dollars a year and live in a big house with a huge yard.

If anything, the people who are the most ungrounded and fearful are also the most privileged people I know. All the working class folks I know called bullshit on this a long, long time ago. It takes a hell of a lot of privilege for a bunch of spoiled work-from-home tech people to run around shaming everybody about trying to live their lives.
Also as far as the NSA is concerned, surely it'd be easier if they have a single supply chain where they are guaranteed to be able to compromise every single iPhone?

Seems a lot easier than compromising some random repair shop.
An Austrian friend of mine had a story about how he went back home and, during the visit, made polenta, and an older relative became horrified. Marshall Plan corn meal was something they were forced to eat (from lack of anything else) during the years just after WW2, and it brought back memories.

The kernel knows about mutexes, and so the thread waiting on the lock won't be scheduled again until the mutex has been released. Whether the lock can be acquired depends on the scheduler and how many other threads are waiting on the same lock.
This seems completely pointless: either you understand how to solve the question, in which case you don't need any of this, or you don't, in which case all of this won't help you.

The real "framework" for passing coding interviews is to get better at understanding and solving the problems.

I think income-diversity is a valid and very appropriate criticism of MIT and other schools. I agree that not enough able but poor students are admitted.

Without diminishing MIT's responsibility, I also think the rest of the education system needs to take responsibility for the same problem. In many cases, a very smart kid with low income is afforded poor secondary education, so if they were admitted to MIT, they might not have the preparation to thrive. MIT's disparate impact on low income kids is unacceptable, but the solution requires cooperation from high schools.
No, because if someone wants to release an OS lock they have to tell you.
There seem to be a correlation with a map of malnutrition https://reliefweb.int/map/world/hunger-map-2017 which seems also correlated with height https://ourworldindata.org/exports/average-height-of-men_v2_.... Would that make you conclude that height measure and malnutrition data are also biased?
You will definitely find places in Europe--perhaps most of all Germany--where people absolutely do not cross against lights etc. (in general). In my experience, Americans--at least in big cities (and maybe especially on the East Coast)--are far more likely to cross streets where and when they can get off with it than in many other places.
A core purpose of a church is to identify and evaluate:

1. What a virtuous life is.

2. How to live one.

3. What examples exist of people who have lived one.

4. How practically achievable a virtuous life is.

The chaplain is doing his job here. He is supposed to identify that Floyd hasn't lived a virtuous life, but he is still part of a greater community and that a virtuous person would help Floyd live the best life he can.

It's important to understand the question and communicate that understanding before you start coding. For relatively junior positions (L3-L4 at Google), I would expect that a candidate would do roughly what was described in the linked post.

However, it's really important not to behave in a way that is overly formulaic or comes across as being heavily "coached". If your interviewer is engaged and competent, coaching like this will entice the interviewer to mix things up and ask questions that force you to break out of the coached pattern. If the interviewer isn't as good, it's more likely they will just give you a lukewarm score and say that you were coached.

For example, if a candidate said something like "can strings be multicharacter?", I'd probably ask why that would matter. In the example question, it doesn't matter at all because we're just looking for equality of members (could be arrays of any type and the question would be the same), and would be a weird thing to seek clarification on. Maybe a better example would be if the candidate asked if there's an upper bound on the size of the input array. In real programming, that's not the sort of thing that usually matters, so I'd expect the candidate to explain why that matters in this case (maybe they have a O(n^3) algorithm in mind that would be untenable if the input can be large).

I've done a few hundred interviews, over 100 at Google.

There isn't any evidence that covid would continue to grow exponentially at this point if measures are removed.

Actually, the problem with women getting groped on trains is both widespread and quite damaging in its impacts. It is important to keep issues like this in mind when reviewing different modes of getting about. Trains still serve the public quite well overall, but can be quite difficult for some.

Japan also never had anything quite like the Americans with Disabilities Act, so people in wheelchairs or scooters may encounter major barriers.
Did you read the article?

They specifically brought up the example of Chaplain being fired as "canceling".

Also, your definition needs doesn't match common usage, or what happens. Here's a better one:

Canceling (n.): holding a public person accountable for their actions by withdrawing monetary support.

This can be done by not extending a contract; by termination of employment, contract, or the privilege of access to particular public platforms from which they profit, if the funding is provided on a contractual basis; and - wait for it -

- by ceasing donations.

Which is what the authors are doing.
Absolutely seconded. While I understand the reaction that many people here have to these sorts of things, in the end it is Apple's product and nothing forces you to buy it.

People shill alternatives all the time here, why not do it in these sorts of discussions too.

>The problem is no other mainstream manufacturers can be trusted to provide a device as secure and private as Apple’s.

As much as I hate to admit it this is pretty much true, and extends beyond just security and privacy for me, having an actually reliable (and power user friendly) ecosystem to dump my tech needs into has been a godsend.
I don’t buy the security argument. Sure, pairing a security chip makes some sense, but putting the chip on the display module is bizarre.

I wonder if part of Apple’s motivation for getting rid of independent display repairs is to improve the brand, though. I’ve seen several aftermarket iPhone displays, and they are all massively inferior. Even a supposedly nice one from ifixit, with no mention on the website, emits linearly polarized light. It’s fine until you try to use it with polarized sunglasses on.
Working for a Japanese company can be rough, but if you work for a foreign company or have a foreign manager it’s mostly fine.

Because (mainstream) refcounting GCs are just slower than modern tracing GCs. GC pauses are virtually gone these days (Java gives you <1ms maximum pause for heaps up to 16TB), and are actually more deterministic than refcounting.
Hydrogen use 4x the amount of electricity per ton as aluminum, and that assumes you are not recycling aluminum. It is orders of magnitude less if it is recycled, which most aluminum production is. You'll need to come up with a less specious example than aluminum if you want to be credible.

We also produce significantly more hydrogen than aluminum in any case.

I remember reading a "Things that were different about America" by a Japanese visitor, and they said that everyone in the US seemed to wait for the lights to cross at crosswalks, while in Japan people just crossed whenever. It probably depends on where in Japan and where in the US you are.

DC is one of the worst; it sometimes feels like the pedestrians and cars are in competition with each other, and each just violate the rules because there's zero expectation that the other will follow the rules.
I completely agree that the flatter, more egalitarian system is more of a feature than a bug.

However, at the same time, one of the big problems is that there is an entire layer of people above “the people” who exist in a political-multinational-oligarch cloud who basically extract value for their own benefit. Real wages in Japan haven’t gone up for 20 years or something and are among the lowest (the lowest?) of the world’s major developed economies. The willingness of everyday people to accept their “meager existence” allows these people to slowly drive Japan into oblivion.

Everyone should be making more money and working just a bit less than they do here. Shouldn’t surprise you that those corrupt corporate-political types are extremely fond of America, and have many friends in the US political scene...
> Apple & MSFT's stock price does, in theory, "price in" their tremendous revenue

I think this is easy to say in hindsight, but 10-20 years ago it was not at all obvious that Microsoft or Apple would be where they are today (even as recently as 2014 the outlook of Microsoft was very different than it is today).

Besides, potential future revenue is different to actually achieving it - 30 years ago companies like Commodore, Amstrad and Gateway all had tremendous growth forecasts, and maybe in an alternative universe would be the dominant players today, but history favours the winners and is always obvious in hindsight.
I'm sitting on the subway train home, not entirely sober at 1:30 in Stockholm enjoying public transportation. I have 50 minutes to the city center (15m walking, 30m subway + 5m leeway). I just moved here from a smaller city and I adore it, public transportation brings people together. The spacious American homes you're talking about were plentiful where I used to live, but it just encourages people to stay at home zoning themselves off.

I'm quite social so I guess that plays a role in my preferences.
