I've only seen "esoteric" refer to programming languages that are deliberately constructed to be obscure or unusual, usually in ways that make them unusable in some practical sense. Your Brainfucks or Malbolges, say. I've never heard of anyone applying that term to Lisp or especially F#. They might be unpopular, but they're usable, practical languages with good implementations.
I agree with your facts, but I think its a little disingenuous to only highlight that one aspect of the context. It wasn't that many months before that when a lot of people were willing to accept 50+% VE and delighted if it could approach 70%.

I remember that too, and I think its needed context.

I'm referring to the Federal government. I will amend down to 85%!

I often find that part1 can be solved by most, but part2 sometimes needs a clever trick, experience or some knowledge. Doing only part1 or skipping some day is perfectly fine, though. So I don't really get your anger.

I actually like when it teaches me something new. If you get stuck you could always google for the concepts you need and learn of them, or go to the subreddit and get hints but still solve the programming part yourself.

> Ghibli has always been synonymous with Miyazaki and Takahata. I think it's fine for the studio to fade away or disband after the two founders exit the stage, their legacy will endure.

Perhaps Disney should have as well. Would have spared the world "The Love Bug", "The Apple Dumpling Gang", etc.
Another phrase I like to use is 'vertically integrated service'. You need to be vertically integrated to scale horizontally. That is the whole point of microservices after all.
Even if poster was correct, absolute numbers mean nothing. You have to look at rate of hospitalizations between the vaccinated and unvaccinated. Every measure I've seen has shown a much higher rate of hospitalization in the unvaccinated.
You should probably read the Jacobson decision more carefully [1], since you believe that it grants the government the right to mandate vaccines.

The decision is much more narrow that you've been led to believe.

It specifically addresses state police powers, not federal powers.

It also doesn't mandate vaccination, it allows a small fine to be paid instead.

Also, according to a well known attorney I consulted (who has argued several cases before the Supreme Court) the Jacobson decision has been overturned countless times and is considered an awful ruling, the Healthcare equivalent of Dred Scott.

I'm an experienced product manager and full stack software engineer seeking a full time role.

Last year, I sold a Django-based B2B parking management SaaS I built from the ground up. My customers included Cummings Properties and National Cathedral School.

For the past few years, I led product management and engineering of a Django-based enterprise cybersecurity SaaS. Our customers included the US Federal Government and a major US health system.

I'm friendly, compassionate and hold both a BS in Computer Engineering and an MBA.

I enjoy the technical product design process and cross-functional collaboration.

For positions with IC SWE, I can deliver the most value to a team building on the Python / Django backend but am open to Node.

YC Companies: I have an active profile on Join a Startup and will be at the YC Winter Job Fair.
Other Companies: Please have a publicly posted job description before reaching out.
Was going to ask why would someone choose Metabase or Superset over PowerBi.

PowerBi pricing($10 per seat) is so nice compared to Tableau($85 per seat last I checked).

Then I realized that Metabase and Superset both can be run on promises free of monthly costs. That can be huge when the number of users fluctuates greatly.

In the pages you linked, they’ve mixed businesses and personal lines, and bolded the business lines. In some states, there was a separate section in the back (On blue pages? Wasn’t there a red section too?) with just the business listings. Still, not a big deal either way.

Even with the yellow pages, listings were alphabetical, and grouped by business type, and businesses could pay for bigger listings. I’d forgotten how information dense listings used to be (probably due to lack of filtering, but it still makes me want yelp to do better)

I'm sick of people, so I'm not going to read the inevitable comments that are going to come. Look, face it, some people like taking nude photos of themselves and they like sharing them with their partners. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. It's not their fault if something like this happens. People should be able to feel secure in the tech that they use, in the companies that they entrust their information with. It's a fuckload of bullshit victim blaming and I see it every time the topic comes up. I'm sick of it.
I'm curious, do you not have any hobbies or better things to do than interview? Interviewing when I want a new job is already difficult enough with how much I have going on

So, I am sure this video is very likeable and all. But I don't think metaverse is a total bullshit. Virtual is an experience as well. You can't for example experience flying without risk in real world and for some people experiencing those sort of things might be cheaper in the metaverse. Again I am not sure what metaverse companies are planning to form. But to me it looks like a interesting future.
> it could be argued that natural immunity is far superior to vaccines

It could be argued that we should wait for benevolent space aliens to come and cure it. Just because it could be argued doesn't mean it's a good argument.
The length of Google's hiring process is absolutely screwing them in this market. Seems like they don't really feel like competing for hot candidates anymore.
If this filesystem "has comparable random-write performance to an LSM tree", would it be viable to use this filesystem directly as the storage for a key-value store (i.e. to swap out LevelDB/RocksDB for a simple library that just creates each key as its own file, expecting to be backed by this filesystem)?

If not, why not? I'm guessing mainly because of kernel context-switching overhead?

And if that's why, then could use of this filesystem be made competitive with [or better-performing than!] e.g. "LevelDB writing to ext4", if that context-switch overhead was removed — e.g. if it was either used by a kernel-mode application (i.e. a unikernel approach); or if the driver itself were moved into userspace as a library, with the expectation that you'd compile it into a single daemon process which would own and have write access to a raw block device?

(I ask because part of my job involves tending to blockchain archive-nodes, and the operational management of LevelDB at scale sometimes makes me want to pull out my hair. A million little 2MB files all in one directory, constantly being created and deleted. If I could 1. work with the keys in those databases directly as a mounted [perhaps read-only] filesystem, and 2. get for free the BetrFS equivalent of Btrfs's incremental subvolume send/receive for them, rather than trying to organize parallel rsync(1) for a million tiny files, those factors alone would be worth dealing with an experimental FS.)
That sounds awful. By the time you've accepted the offer and started at Google, you have very little leverage to ensure you end up on a team/project that you like. I would never accept an offer without knowing what I'd be working on.

If personal freedom scares then yeah, time to get out.
We're using it in our products, Superset is really good. Very active community, tons of movement. So much better than having to integrate Tableau, etc.
What I learned about interviewing:

1) the questions asked in a technical interview often are what the interviewer is actually working on and so you're doing their job.

2) send a billing invoice for any time they interview you for and you don't get hired. Your time isn't free.

3) you generally don't get hired to work on the project they say they'll hire you for. Expect disappointment.

Pretty sure that's socialism. Communism is envisioned as a stateless society. Which is kind of what the internet is. There's standards bodies, but they don't really have any enforcement power. And ICANN, one of the few bodies with actual power, (by controlling domain name distribution) leads to problems like in this article.

I'm extremely pro-academic, but I think you're taking the least charitable interpretation of the parent. While I fully disagree with the parent on the value proposition here, they are quite correct that (at least most) phds aren't concerned with implementation problems like corner cases and long term maintenance. There are of course exceptions, but having worked on quite a bit of academic code, I can say that anecdatally maintainability is not a high priority. It's very much like a typical PoC is in a startup.
>Who is left to continue the legacy?

Let it die, everything else you list, Disney/Pixar are shadows of their former self.

Things don't have to go on forever and ever, the things they made are still great and at least then they won't be ruined like the great works of Pixar are with sequels.

I'd rather never have another Ghibli movie ever again than have them become what Disney and Pixar are today.

Bodily autonomy is perhaps the central tenant of liberty. There is plenty of room to be for vaccines and against (federal) mandates.
This is why nationalized/ government healthcare implementations, even at the level of Obamacare, are so dangerous.

It literally gives government moral authority over who deserves care and who doesn't. "Universal" healthcare, as long as you're part of the universe that does exactly what the government tells you to do.
Honestly, I didn't even understand how the CRT applied even after knowing it was required. This visualization[1] is what eventually helped me solve it.

Exactly. That comment was a great example of outrage culture. Instead of stopping to think of what advent means or put in the effort to start a Kwanzaa of code, the other commenter instead chose to just complain and get upset over nothing

Per the link: "The last ping from the old phone (which was today) was the same as the place we shipped it. The exact location down to the very building."

The phone was successfully RMA'ed a month ago, which presumably would include Google confirming possession.
Yep, that's pretty much how I solved it too. I had (and still have) no idea how to apply the Chinese Remainder Theorem. Looking back at my solution, I just iterated through the input, which I'd mapped to a Python list.

Scientists claim big advance in using DNA to store data
Interesting solution.

1⊖x

Rotates the sequence so the first becomes the last.

x < 1⊖x

Element-wise compare each, resulting in a list of 1s and 0s

¯1 ↓ x<1⊖x

Drop the last element because it's actually not part of the solution (thanks to the earlier rotation).

+/ ¯1↓x<1⊖x

Sum all of them, since it's just 1s and 0s this gives a correct count. Part 2 is solvable (unless I missed something, works on the sample data) by just changing two characters from that solution. Neat.
State ownership is merely one interpretation of the base communist concept of communal ownership. The internet is largely run on protocols built organically by the people using them and only later codified into standards by a committee of interested parties.
I don't know the technical solution for this, but there can be some judgement on the quality of the solution (like how efficient it is in terms of time and space).

Here's an example – in part 2 of day 1 of this year (2021), there's no need to actually add up the 3 measurement range, since the middle 2 values will always cancel out. You simply need to loop through the array compare index i with i+3. Maybe there should be an extra point for people who figured this out?

Another problem is that the input set is always small enough to make a brute force solution the most favorable one. So what they are really judging is the speed at which someone can read/parse the input file and write some loops.
So wait, you basically start on a 8 week contract? Is that how that works?
Ok, then CMS or OSHA.

My point still stands. Vaccine enforcement and mandates was not even considered as under their purview. It's quite hair-splitting to say "there's nothing that says they _can't start enforcing vaccine mandates_."
GitHub Copilot Labs
There are so many microcontrollers which could be packed behind this, in a sandwiched way, behind the CCD which captures the light. Think of the stuff that's on your Smart-/Chipcards, like Credit/Debit/Banking/ID/Drivers License/...

The thing under the golden metal contact plate has a diameter of about 5 millimeters, yet it is able to perform a subset of something like Java.

The same goes for the SIM in your phone, or a Micro-SD Card.

There the Microcontroller serves the interface on one end, and acts as a RAID-controller for the arrays of NAND-storage on the other end.

This can all be hidden behind that, layered underneath each other.

The biggest thing would be battery to power it, or the coils to harvest energy from WIFI, or whatever.

Combine that with circuitry which only wakes up the system when the image is changing, and your're good to go, ...err spy ;->

> what is the basis (at this time) for concluding they have a policy of making offers and then rescinding them?

Well if they had a policy of not rescinding offers like this (which AFAICT every other major company does), this wouldn't have happened.

Giving any sort of offer, verbal or written, and then rescinding it is super scummy behavior and I will probably not apply to Stripe in the future until this is resolved
>checklists have always existed

this is also the first time where the vaccine industry and the broader public health space have been put under this kind of scrutiny and the combination of politicization, outright lies and deception over masks and policy in both directions and the overall visibility of the sausage making process happens to be occurring alongside a decline of trust in institutional expertise. when most people got their tetanus shots, the faces of the medical profession were not acting as explicitly political agents.

If I recall, the White House worked with various companies to give out incentives for getting vaccinated like beer and donuts.
Agreed but in this specific context the issue concerns healthcare workers. Vaccines are mandatory in the army for obvious reasons, ones that are even more relevant for healthcare workers.
The IME JTAG is pretty dang interesting. Shame they are sanctioned.

IMO the fact a huge portion of hardware ships with obscure, unverifiably secure microcode is one the biggest threat vectors in existence today.
spend 2 minutes on an NFT marketplace? there are many trades between addresses that have registered aliases via ENS, which is the best way to determine if something is not a wash trade. Noteworthy is that you are starting from the opinion that things are wash trades, while the NFT users are not, and given the amount of energy necessary to support this opinion from someone not even participating it makes me wonder if any observation is possible to contradict your stance.

would you like a specific trade to debate? does it have to be $600k for this standard? I see some decentraland plots recently traded for $20,000.

thinking further about it, its easier if you owned an NFT other people were interested in, because then the bids - if they arise - would be from other people and you'll be one less person that would hold the likely wash trade idea. many NFTs are free to acquire during their initial creation.
