> I think you get the "coding challenge kind of code" with varying degrees of the subject's personal flavor on it. People can and will produce different kind of code in a different setting, or if you just ask them to do so. So I don't think it helps you as much as you think?

Good point. The hiring process I work on is definitely not objective though and I don't expect to be able to have an objective process. I expect to have a subjective process (yes, it's driven by people) but have people on the job we are happy to work with (not necessary excellent).
Striving for the best candidate is great, but I have no idea what to do to achieve that, I'm working on it.
Referrals are a great way, but that resource is used extensively already, there is a need for also the other funnel (lot of hiring needed), there aren't enough people in just referrals.

> How does that interest show?

In various ways, as I said, I think being subjective is the only way to manage a coding challenge, is not an objective measurement by any mean.
Sometimes it's clearly a showcase (this part is too easy, I don't care, but you should really look at this small snippet), sometimes is "this is way too easy, here is an 80 lines script to do it efficiently, you don't need anything else", sometimes is a widely designed system for the purpose of showing design skill.
Sometimes people have no time, but the question needed to answer is "can the person code and do I want to bring them to the next step".
Sometimes I can't infer anything aside from the "can code", there are many variables at play.

Everything is signal, but I'm not looking for something specific aside from the "can code".
Sorry, yes, there are people that can't code at all and do apply and we have to filter for them. Consider the challenge a captcha for developers.
> If you can, schedule your interviews in the order of importance for what job you think you might want an offer for. This isn’t to say that you should in any way not prepare for those earlier interviews;

I don't understand. Does this means that I should schedule interviews for jobs I want sooner or later? The wording "order of importance" is ambiguous which order I should follow.
It is both kind of hilarious and kind of terrifying to see this sort of anti-academic, anti-expert nonsense is bleeding in to %$&#ing software development.

All your written-in-production, battle-hardened code with no effete book-larnin' algorithms aren't going to run very well without a functional electricity grid.
Esoteric is the word I would use.
Not for a startup, but .codes is pretty nice for personal or portfolio websites.
I've been falling back on .app because they're relatively affordable, there are still a lot of names left on that TLD, and I do happen to build websites which are more like PWAs or SPAs.
How is it insensitive? In my country (Norway) there's advent calendars for everything and has been since I was a child. Home made advent calendars with a small gift each day, or store bought with a chocolate, beer, liquorice, or similar per day. There are special advent calendar TV shows, where an episode is released each day in December.
The semicolon use is actually completely consistent, ";", ";;", ";;;" etc. do indeed refer to incrementation of the corresponding dimension. Try [1;2;3], then [1;2;3 ;; 4;5;6] and then [1;2;3 ;; 4;5;6 ;;; 7;8;9;; 10;11;12]

The confusion arises because "," and whitespace also have overlapping meanings in array notation. "," is used for regular vector creation, and whitespace for concatenation in the second dimension. The coexistence of those two different notations is a bit uneasy, but I doubt that "," and whitespace will be deprecated, since they are so entrenched and familiar. And for 1D and 2D arrays (which probably make up >99% of all literal array use) it's also more elegant and clean.

Maybe this will help: "," separators only work for 1D arrays, you cannot use them while making 2D or higher arrays. Whitespace is used when you want to create the array writing the data down row-wise, so your innermost dimension in writing is actually the second dimension of the array. The semicolons are for completely consistently going from the first to the n'th dimension, with the corresponding number of ";" in each dimension.

I think it would be hard to come up with a nice way to express these in a unified notation.

The way numpy does this with lots of brackets isn't really very convenient when working in 2D, which is the more common case.
Relative to the 200,000 to 6 million years we have been in this shape? Yes.
Aye. There are SO many confident coaches, practitioners, athletes, nerds; but they'll just as confidently tell you to never skip breakfast to kick-start your metabolism, use cup-suction to massage your muscles, and all sorta of firm advice on exercises grouping intervals posture etc; and yet, it all just seems to trickle down to "common wisdom" and "accepted truths", or most of all "This is what I've personally observed works" for some given value of "observed" and "works".

I think it's an area that IS hard to scientifically study - the bodies, goals, and progress are all so frequently and radically different, and confounding variables are everywhere - but for a lot of coaches it's not even a goal; there's a complete lack of humility in any coach, fitness trainer, or even phys ed teacher I've ever seen. There's a LOT of anecdotal certainty ("I've seen this work well"), and little solid demonstrable repeatable evidence.
> to what types of medical orders are allowed to be given to patients

Suppose an anti-abortion president gets elected and he elects someone as head and tells them that health care providers that accept medicare or medicaid cannot provide abortions. Not making it illegal per-se, but just for the providers that accept medicare or medicaid for any of their services.

You okay with this as well?
There's nothing insensitive about the word 'advent'. Additionally, you are free to start a Kwanzaa of Code or Diwali of Code or both and people are free to join.
congress could have acted here, they could still act. they didn't. Not doing something is a choice when it occurs in reaction to someone else doing something.

Whether it is a 'trivial' procedural matter simply isn't affected by people's strongly held beliefs

Strongly held beliefs don't exempt you from seat belt laws, from tax rules, or from any other law unless congress doing the thing congress is designed to do allows for it. It shouldn't.

CMS isn't unelected...it is an arm of the executive branch headed by the, elected, president and run by someone confirmed by the elected senate. It is given the authority to make rules in specific areas by the elected congress.

Synchronous systems can benefit from backpressure. Clients can and do open multiple concurrent connections to such systems (common to work around the inevitable throughput limitations of synchronous systems)... it is still helpful to tell any given connections, no, I'm at my concurrency limit, any work you give me is just going to sit in a queue and increase your service time, so please don't.

> Could you imagine a news report about how the much touted vaccine efficacy of 95% didn't really pan out? It's true.

Do you mean like "Efficacy of Pfizer/BioNTech Covid vaccine slips to 84% after six months, data show" (https://www.statnews.com/2021/07/28/efficacy-of-pfizer-biont...) or "Covid-19 Vaccine Efficacy: What Do the Numbers Really Mean?" (https://www.wsj.com/articles/covid-19-vaccine-efficacy-what-...)? Or did you have something else in mind?

It's interesting you bring up both commerce clause and abortion as I'm currently taking a constitutional law class covering both issues. The commerce clause did wildly expand through the 20th century, but I just want to point out that US v Lopez substantially cut back Congress' Commerce power. It laid out clear restrictions to what and when Congress has the power to regulate interstate commerce. Further cases like NFIB v Sebelius (Obamacare) also cut down on commerce power.

The difference I see with abortion is that the SCOTUS held in Roe v Wade that women have an affirmative right to an abortion under substantive due process of the 14th amendment. If the government coerced healthcare providers to stop providing abortions, this would be a direct infringement on a right protected by the constitution. Conversely, there is no constitutional right to /not/ get a vaccine. Of course, the demographics of the court has changed, so it's very possible the SC will rule that not getting vaccinated is also a constitutional right conferred by substantive due process.

Exactly. It's a remarkable constellation of interests. People are invited to exercise anonymous influence on the most widely propagated information source on the planet, on condition that they work for free. Big Tech profits from the free content thus produced.

I love Wikipedia, but it's a very human project. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, all mixed together.
Hey I was investigating the use of GPUs just out of curiosity since it's one of the few areas of computing I wasn't very familiar with.

The above benchmarks are about matrix multiplication. Matrix multiplication seems to be a common theme in gpu api documentation. Now for someone who rarely needs to multiply matrices, are there other good applications the GPU pipeline tends to be useful for? Are there guidelines on how complex a program you can run on GPU cores and still reap benefit? What are (vague, order of magnitude) limits on program size and size of the different memories you have access to? Can you run machine learning algorithms that are not based on matrix multiplication, gradients or derivatives. Can you do monte carlo simulations, decision trees etc?

Such a pleasure to see Darebee mentioned here. I honestly didn't even remember its name till now. But, I started my weights with Darebee charts (the full body workout ones ... kinda sound good).

Simply following that chart easily takes 45 mins and does a great job for physical and mental health. With pretty limited free time, I found the exercises to be very useful and as effective on average as going to the gym. I don't quite understand the value add of a fitness trainer for the average fitness Joe (like me)

I am by no measure a fitness expert ... please feel free to critique them in terms of utility to physical and mental health.
That's the key problem with the US now. Elected representatives are allowed to delegate law making. It breaks the line of accountability. It makes contentious issues worse.

The vaccine is mandated as a condition for employment. Is it different from universities requiring vaccines for their students (Indiana University already won a legal challenge -- https://www.scotusblog.com/2021/08/barrett-leaves-indiana-un...) or military personnel having to get a battery of shots when they enlist? All those requirements should survive or fall together.

Is having judges be only accountable to politicians and unclear financial interests pulling the strings be that much better?
That is true. It isn't fair if people have different starts. But trying to correct this or forcing everyone to be equal requires totalitarian control. It has often been tried with very bad results.

The one thing you can do is giving future generations everything they need to accomplish, which primarily is education. This is currently under severe threat by big corporations that want their users to be passive consumers. Their equity campaigns are hollow and will very likely even have a net negative effect.

Open access to literature and open source did at least provide people with the material that they need to learn about many topics. Living conditions, language barriers or simply no time to learn are still inhibitors which need addressing. These leveling takes time and multiple generations and there is no shortcut to this. Current diversity initiatives grant funding to the most wealthy corporations, politicians use this to gain access to them. It is mainly corruption that doesn't empower anybody aside a selected few. An extremely unfair process, good intentions from some that pave the way to hell.

> Could you imagine a news report about how the much touted vaccine efficacy of 95% didn't really pan out?

It didn’t pan out because of Delta, a way more infectious variant that became common well after the 95% figure was determined.

And it’s fully accurate to say that despite Delta, the vaccines are effective at preventing severe disease, hospitalization, and death. I think that’s a very good thing!
Any more details you are willing to share on how the shared code is imported and extended on the platform side?

We have a similar split, and currently use lerna to publish a collection of individual packages that get imported and extended on the other side.
Looks like only works with Linux kernel - 3.11? https://github.com/oscarlab/betrfs/blob/master/README.md , so definitely have not been updated for awhile.

I think the key insight here is that just autoscaling your service to keep queue length short is not always gonna work, or not always going to be cost effective, and upstream sources should be prepared to reduce the amount of work they send (unless there is a business reason to do otherwise). Making the queue longer or just dropping data that's already accepted into the queue will sometimes break people's assumptions about how your system works. You can adjust queue size from time to time if you need it, but if your service sees increased use over time, the amount of variance in queue size can get a bit crazy.

I worked on a system a while back which processed petabytes of data... autoscaling was out of the question (we had a fixed amount of hardware to process the data, and the lead time for getting new hardware was not especially short), and buffering the data would require eye-watering amounts of disk space. We just buffered as much as we could and then returned a "try again later" error code. We made sure that data accepted by the system was processed within a short enough window. We made sure that the cost of submitting a work item was so small that you could really hammer the front-end as much as you wanted, and it would just say "try again later" or accept work items.

I think one of the lessons here is that you need to think long and hard about what error conditions you want to expose upstream. The farther you propagate an error condition, the more different ways you can solve it, but the more complicated your clients get. For example, disks sometimes fail. You can decide to not propagate disk failure beyond an individual machine, load up RAID 1 (mirror) in all your file servers, and back everything up. Or you can push disk failures farther up the stack, and recover from failed disks at a higher level, with lower hardware cost but higher implementation complexity. And if you build a bunch of systems assuming that each part is always working, you run very serious risks of cascading failures once one part does inevitably fail.

Obviously, small enough systems running on cloud hardware can usually be autoscaled just fine.

They Died from Covid. Then the Online Attacks Started
I missed moving my personal portfolio .co from GoDaddy to Namecheap when it renewed last week and got hit with a $55 bill.

EDIT: I'd really like to know why I got down voted on this. My renewal this year was twice the price. Everything at GoDaddy seems to be double what every body else charges and it's fair to be unimpressed with still having legacy products stuck at their company even if I didn't notice/it's my fault.

I had a $55 charge from them on my credit card. The page that told me what it was was buried under six clicks. It's shady.
That's because the .com registry charges <10$/year.

"In the order of importance" means ascending. Basically if you're applying to 5-6 jobs, try to schedule the one you want the most last, so that when (not if) you bomb some aspect of an earlier interview, it doesn't a) completely depress you for the rest of the interviews, and b) can be a learning experience for later interviews that you ideally would like to get offers from more.
