Thank you for the heads up! Been sad to see the site list that youtube-dl works on slowly degrade and shrink.
I think most people here likely don't have a NYTimes subscription so it is likely most are just discussing the headline as well.
No. Just drag a matched track out of the music app or import it in various iOS apps, it's a DRM free AAC file.
Most people I know never worked 5 days a week. They just pretended. Now they don't have to pretend as much (as long as that little Slack dot stays green!)
From what I have heard, Pi's are used by supercomputer clusters to solve the problem of testing code at scale (hundreds of nodes) but not on the expensive hardware.
Seems like something an algorithm could be modified to take into account ~ a given users proclivity to rewatch/review the same content. After a few recommendations of seen content, if that particular user isn't engaging, decrease their "rewatch recommendation" parameter.

I completed a bootcamp specializing in data science, and have recently been working on Leetcode & algorithm problems to broaden my job search to include data science, data engineering, python development, or more generalized software engineering. Looking for a recent grad/mid level role where I would optimally be paired with a more experienced team of coworkers. My background is in Windows IT support for the past decade and have 2 years of python coding experience.
I met one of the most brilliant people in my life. Smart, passionate about art, culture, politics. Brilliant student, top of her class from elementary through college. Fluent (as in certified) C2 in English and German. Terrific career as a public servant in foreign politics already in her late 20s.

She would never, ever, miss a single episode of a “reality” about dating in tv, a show famous in Italy as “trash tv”. It was unwatchable, worse than Jersey shore.

I asked her why such an intelligent and smart person couldn’t miss an episode of something so terrible and lame and she answered me “I know it’s awful, but for an entire hour I’m able to be lobotomized and not have a single thought, I can completely detach from reality and relax”.

My current SO does the same with Instagram. Whenever she needs to detach from her thoughts she zombifies on Instagram. Might be cats or fashion bloggers but she tunes out completely and she does that intentionally knowing that’s the effect it has on her.
Apple Inc. used to be Apple Computer, Inc. You could argue they actually started the trend long ago.

I would say I find a patter of meaningless name changes much more prevalent in "enterprise software" circles.
I don't understand why "roots in the early days of computing" is inherently good. We've learned a lot since those days. As a fun example, imagine defending storing plaintext passwords "because it has it's roots in the early days of computing".

Other than "because we've always done it that way", what do you learn about a candidate in a 30-60 minute whiteboard interview where you ask them to implement something they'll never have to implement on the job, while restricting them from all of the resources they have been trained to rely on (internet access, man pages, etc.)?
The same way they can be fine with a bash processes having 24 megabyte VM footprints.

yeah instead of using a firearm in the UK, you'll get stabbed.

The US also has a way larger population.

When you take away suicides (which make up 2/3rds of firearm deaths), we really dont have a lot of firearm deaths.
I think a lot are in the same boat.

Is Job-Sharing a potential solution?
The beauty of an open, distributed system.... as opposed to a walled garden.
my worst tech interview: i was asked to solve a leetcode problem on a google doc.

i asked if i could at least do on my editor of choice while screensharing -- "nope, too complicated".

i asked if i could do in pseudocode, nope "it must at least run".

i tried for 10min, said "thank you, but i don't think this is working for us -- we can probably stop here. thank you for your time [yadda yadda]".
Often you don’t know if a site is legit or not without first visiting it.

And new clone sites launch all the time, so I’m always clicking on search results to new clone sites that I’ve never seen before so can’t avoid them in results.

I'm almost certain you could make the same argument about this site.

We're all here clamoring to post overly analytical and smart-sounding things in response to news headlines in the hopes that we'll get meaningless upvotes from strangers.

When looking down on the things that other people like and do, it pays to look in the mirror first.
With what kind of receiver did you have in mind?
Outside of HN I have never heard anybody reference Square. Compare to Facebook which is hard to not hear about as their rivals angrily spam incoherent hit pieces. That may be his advantage however - while everyone called and still calls Twitter trash from just its restrictive character limit there isn't such a personal hatred to Dorsey. Unlike Zuckerberg he doesn't have a sizable deranged "secretly an evil android or robot" brigade repeating a variant of the "stab in the back" myth.
Netflix seems good at not destroying their product... though inherently the vision is kind of a scaled distraction machine.

I agree with the thrust of your comment and wonder how we might get there. Software companies did look more like you describe in the past, and a few like (some parts of) Apple and some game companies still do. Mostly these are companies that ship a chunk of finished software rather than a "service" -- a big release once a year, little post-hoc tracking and engagement optimization. I think there's fundamentally an incentive problem with most (all?) free-to-use software services. If revenue directly correlates to engagement time it's really hard to avoid this trap because it's a very rational path to go down to optimize the business.
Yep, the real root cause of the rot is that the people making the decisions no longer have the long term trajectory of the product at heart.
Even products that don't have a mandate to become attention-sucking get ruined eventually. Developers gotta develop---so once the product is pretty much done, it becomes a feature-cram-fest to try to bolt-on every crazy thing they can think of, including the kitchen sink. Meanwhile, long-standing bugs go unaddressed, security issues crop up, quality drops, and long-time users feel more and more alienated. I've seen this pattern repeat at pretty much every commercial application job I've ever had. Nobody has any concept of a product being finished. Nobody knows what maintenance mode is. It's just "Keep developing!" forever until the product doesn't even do its core function anymore.
I've conducted several engineer interviews and sometimes I find it just as nerve-racking as if I was interviewing myself, mostly because asking questions that give me "a lot of signal about the candidate’s skills while ensuring the candidate always feels comfortable and confident" can be pretty hard.

Can anyone share examples of the kinds of questions I should be asking? Are there any good articles about this?
On the contrary, this move means that their core brand and cash cow (Square) can remain "safe" and only associated with secure payments and PoS sales rather than all their bets on crypto, blockchain, music and whatever else Jack Dorsey is cooking up.
The most insane is that it even autocompletes comments. It’s honestly scary sometimes.
Having a mentor wouldn't be like having a manager at all. A mentor can't control what you do, or interact with your goal. The only (shallow) similarity I might admit is as someone that you infrequently explain what you're working on that isn't intimately involved with the details. ... Maybe someone having your back, helping you stay honest with yourself, and pointing out obvious potholes you missed before you fall into them face first wouldn't be so bad.
and Snap Inc. which pre-IPO was Snapchat Inc before it was under the parent company.
My worst interview experience:
Company had their own custom hackerrank test set up. Timed. It failed to execute on my laptop. (Maybe browser plugins? I tried a different browser; still no joy) - I tried a few things, including using the browser debugger, and in the 30 minutes allotted, I couldn't succeed.

So I asked the recruiter to talk to the hiring manager to give me another shot with a different computer, and never got a response.

Mind you: they also had a horrible recruit process of filling out paperwork on their web site; including a form-entry version of your resume that you already uploaded. Plus various other forms to fill out and disclaimers to sign. Honestly, the worst I had ever encountered.

Since then, this company has had 3 different recruiters (one internal, two external) try to contact me for different positions, but the first one asked for the same process of going through their careers website and filling out all the forms again - even though my previous record was still there: because it was a different position, it had to be done again. That's when I bailed.
From the problem statement:

> Tiles at the edge of the image also have this border, but the outermost edges won't line up with any other tiles.

So they didn't need to hope; the problem guaranteed it for them.
You are talking about the internet, though, which has experienced non-linear growth and obviously allows for an new means of communication and distribution. (Eventually it will not be "new" anymore.) Feel free to provide an example of a "tech" company that uses software automation to decrease marginal cost without relying on the internet for communication/distribution.
If you’re making jokes like this in an interview, you shouldn’t be an interviewer. There is a clear power imbalance between interviewer and interviewee that needs to be understood clearly.

A somewhat comparable analogy is your manager joking about firing you and then evaluating you negatively when you don’t like the joke.
Facebook, primarily
> Before I am presented with a dumbass interviewer who throws a ridiculous question my way about algorithmic stuff, I prepare them: "Since we are both seeing if the other party is competent, I want you to know that I want you to also solve my questions. They will be slightly more difficult than the questions you pose to me."

And that is extremely arrogant. I would end interview right now. I don't care who you are and how much experience you have, I believe in "no asshole" rule.

You are interviewing to work at the company. The relationship is between you and the company and not between you and the interviewer. He has particular job to do which does not include responding to your out there whims.

He is in a tough position, most likely with much less experience than you and still asked to do a difficult job of judging your experience.

Be kind to people. Show your maturity by understanding what is the other person's role in the process.

If you have so much knowledge and experience as you claim, you should have no problem going through the process -- your willingness to go out of your way to do this kind of shit does not show you are going to be nice person to work with.

> I would never ask a question I can't also answer from the top of my head

That is prerequisite, but not yet full solution.

You are asking candidates for things you know which means you are comparing their experience to yours. What if they have different experience and met different problems?

Ideally, you want to answer a question "Can they be productive at their new position?" which is a different question from "Do they know everything I do?"

I always remind myself that it is likely every single candidate I interviewed knows something I do not.

> Having worked at Apple, it doesn't surprise me one bit how slow they are developing simple features and fixing simple bugs. It's a red-tape hell full of not-very pragmatic engineers that are way too smart for the good of the company.

Have you ever tried actually figuring out how make it more efficient rather than just complain at the engineers you are working with? Have you always been super pragmatic, fast engineer that can accomplish things at startup speeds? Or have you been just as everybody else, constantly complaining how productive you could be if only everybody around you were not dragging you?
I don't want to work in your "lively atmosphere". It sounds pretty toxic.
Never expect feedback for why you were rejected. It is in the company's best interest not to explain to you why; any feedback could potentially expose them to legal liability.
echoing this. I've been playing with this library and it's great!
RSS/Atom was the way to do this. It's a huge shame hardly anyone (knowingly) uses it anymore.
Since all the apps are just called "Music" anyway (remember the iPod app?) I think it's a difficult distinction to make. It's the Music app by Apple, which has an optional subscription that is also called "Apple Music" verbatim.

Match is just hidden legacy, because the standard subscription includes it's features anyway.
You're right. There is a difference between murder and intentional homicide, but the factor of 18 appears to be using the raw numbers of murders rather than murders per person.
No problems here with Firefox on Windows 11.
I’m pretty positive I did this actually as I recall the ‘match’ service being an additional fee. I was stoked to have a cloud option for my library as I’d been maintaining it for 10+ years and always griping about backups.
I recall it working great for tunes I’d purchased from Bandcamp but when it came to tracks which had been in my library for many years (originating from many different sources), they simply didn’t show up in my library.
Again- this was around 2 years ago so it’s possible this is no longer an issue.

I’ve since setup a Synology NAS with Plex and it’s mostly great.
My way of using Instagram was that I only follow people I have talked to in real life. No influencers, no news outlets, no brands, no businesses, no "young people making popular dance moves" unless that's made by young people I know and have talked to in real life.

The app has been making this way of using Instagram more and more difficult. It's not surprising because my way likely doesn't generate any revenue.
University of Texas at Arlington | https://uta.peopleadmin.com/postings/16133 | Dallas/Fort Worth ONSITE | $70k/year | Postdoctoral Fellow at Intersection of ML/Cancer Immunology

The Luber Lab, located in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, the Multi-Interprofessional Center for Health Informatics (MICHI), and the Department of Bioengineering in the College of Engineering and the Weidanz Lab, located in the Department of Kinesiology in the College of Nursing and Health Innovation at The University of Texas at Arlington are jointly recruiting a postdoctoral fellow with experience in either immunology, microbiology, or bioinformatics to work on machine learning guided design of novel cancer immunotherapies. The position will have both wet lab and dry lab components, and the successful candidate will be trained in whichever they lack experience in.

Dr. Jon Weidanz’s lab studies tumor-specific peptides presented by the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system for use as potential targets for immunotherapy. He has developed methods to discover antibodies that recognize specific peptide/HLA complexes called T-cell receptor mimicking (TCRm) antibodies. These molecules share the binding selectivity traits of T-cell receptors while retaining the positive attributes of antibodies. TCRms are highly valued as research tools, and Dr. Weidanz has used them extensively to study antigen presentation in tumor cells. By using syngeneic tumor models that include A20, CT26, MC38 and Renca cancer cell lines, the candidate will work on experimentally validating microbiome derived augmentations of cancer immunotherapies whose design will be guided by machine learning algorithms the candidate will develop with Dr. Luber.

The overarching focus of the Dr. Jacob Luber’s lab is building computational tools and frameworks that at massive scale allow for cancer imaging data to be 1) contextualized in the oncology clinic to improve patient outcomes and 2) leveraged at the bench to augment drug discovery efforts. The lab also focuses on developing computational and statistical methods for handling high throughput `omics data such as single cell transcriptomics/spatial transcriptomics (10X Visium & Chromium) and spatial proteomics (CODEX). For developing computational methods, the applicant will have priority access to 8 state of the art NVIDIA DGX A100 GPUs owned by the lab.

In addition to his academic lab, Dr. Weidanz is the Associate Vice President for Research at The University of Texas at Arlington, coordinates entrepreneurial activities in the life sciences university-wide, and was the co-founder and chief scientific officer of a startup company recently acquired by Boehringer Ingelheim. Dr. Weidanz will also provide mentorship to the successful candidate on commercializing science and entrepreneurship.

Applicants should have a doctorate in biological or biomedical sciences with experience in either immunology, cancer biology, or microbiology or a computational doctorate. Candidates with a strong publication record will be preferentially considered.
The salary for this position is $70,000 per year and includes a generous benefits package.
This led me one year to registering adventofrealizingicantread.com

It just redirects to the advent site but I've grown to love it :)
I haven’t noticed this, but I only use Instagram on mobile web, which I think skips most of the new features on the news feed. I haven’t seen one of those reels horizontal carousels since I switched to the webapp 6 months ago.

Also: ad-blockers seem to work on safari iOS. It’s all around a less predatory experience, though the creation tools are basically non-existent.

Right, but maybe we should lean towards software that is less like an organism and more like a tool. My hammer is fine, ruby is fine.

Having less firearms is not the solution.

2/3rds of all firearm deaths in the US are from suicide. The majority of the rest are from drug/gang violence or domestic disputes.

Having free healthcare in the US (esp. mental healthcare) would drastically reduce the amount of firearm deaths via suicide.

Couple that with free after school jobs and skills training for those most at risk inner city youth who are the most likely to join a gang or sell drugs, would also have a large impact at reducing drug/gang firearm deaths.

Those two things alone would make the largest impact. Not reducing the amount of firearms.

Heck even raising the min wage to $15 would help so those kids parents dont have to work multiple jobs and can spend more time with and raising their children.
I've had confirmation from a couple of sources now that this is indeed a SQLite file, or at least a derivative of it, with some key information missing.

If you email me how you know it is a SQLite file and what is missing, I can also send you the data that is contained within the files if that will be helpful to you.

Self-exploitation is an ideological control mechanism of the bourgeoisie in modern capitalism, where, instead of outright coercion, more insidious mechanisms are used to extract surplus value from labor.

By activating the worker's will to generate value and "empowering" them to partake in "hustle culture", they create a system in which they can seize surplus value while the subject isn't even aware of their own exploitation. (your comments are a prime example :))

See also the Gramscian notion of cultural hegemony for more details on the mechanisms at play here.
> Trick questions and esoteric puzzles give the interviewer no useful information about the interviewee — her skills, her strengths, her weaknesses, her potential for growth. Those are the things a great interviewer should be seeking out. That means you give hints when the candidate gets stuck and you don’t interrupt them with asinine comments. Whatever problem you give a candidate to solve, your goal as an interviewer should be to get them through as much of that problem as possible, to get as much signal as possible. The added benefit is that the further you get, the better and more confident the candidate feels, which also helps prepare them to do their best for the next session. Less experienced interviewees often need more help, and that’s ok.

This article lays out the problem very well, but then again so to very many others which have appeared on HN over the years.

Why does this keep happening? I mean this at the most fundamental level.

Why waste time with programming puzzlers to begin with? Does the candidate's degree (assuming no job experience) not obviate the need for this kind of thing? Do past programming gigs not absolve them of the need to perform in a way they'll never be asked to perform on the job? Are CS departments so full of bullshitters that unless you sic your 10x devs on them to sniff out whether they can program their way out of a paper bag, your organization runs the risk of filling up with "C Players?"

I mean, what's really going on here?
The "aha moment" is also known as the eureka effect. Psychologists call this "insight problem solving", which is terrible for interviewing since like you said since it isn't a problem that you can build up towards solving. As a teacher, I try to make sure my assignments/quizzes don't fall victim of this.

For anyone interested, there are a lot of interesting studies on the topic if you search on Google Scholar. You've probably already seen matchstick arithmetic problems before (i.e., move a single matchstick to make the equation valid).
