No I suspect Sudosysgen and I are working off sufficiently similar meanings of communism. I just made a very simple counter-post to what I felt was a bit of inflammatory nonsense and Sudo felt it was over-simple. On my part I meant "generally" in a philosophic sense rather than "stridently and consistently" and should have been clearer that the wars/battles fought between anarchists and communists weren't, like, at the behest of Kropotkin or anything.

AlphaFold has changed the course of structural biology research and some descendant of that technology will absolutely be used to design drugs that many people take.

The academic research community would eventually have built models with the same performance as AlphaFold2, probably within the decade. Nonetheless, DeepMind was first, and way ahead of everyone else.

I don't understand how the goalposts have moved so far that solving protein folding only counts as a cool trick or novelty.
Interesting to think how we got so full of ourselves that we ever thought we were.

The social part of it reminds me of the record company party hosts at the "Black Album" album launch in the movie "This Is Spinal Tap." Fake giant toothy smiles everywhere. LinkedIn social conversations remind me of awkward corporate birthday parties, but in text form.

LinkedIn does serve its professional purpose well. I haven't gotten too many new gigs from it, but I get some, and it nurtures a subset of repeat customers of your own curation. That's pretty much the majority of what I use it for.

I have 15 years of experience, and seem to woo teams every time we do screening calls.

Could be how he describes the problem. Most of the time during code screens they don't want you to perfectly solve it. Talk it out. Someone who feels that perfect or bust is the only way to go will fail most of the time. Idk feels like something is missing. He's right, feedback loops suck.

Question is... Can he practice doing a phone screening with a friend? Does he know anyone who interviews? Does his current job allow him to interview or sit in some? Just being part of it can give great interview experience.

Around 10 years of experience is when I learned a ton of interview skills. Interviewing is indeed a skill in itself.

This is so patently absurd that it goes against around a century's worth of knowledge and scientific research. "Spending more time on a task without rest does not get a job done properly" is not only commonly accepted, but it has been put to the test repeatedly in controlled environments and shown to fail, every single time.

The first link is filled with early-mid 20th century resources on this subject. The rest are all from the 80s - 00s because people... stopped studying this. Most of the studies covered the same thing, and it very quickly became an uninteresting problem in the field of Clinical Psychology because the answer was almost unanimously, unequivocally, "yes, this makes people output lower quality work product". It's one of the most settled problems in Psychology that exists in the modern day.

The only people still researching it are non-profits, and their research serves simply as advocacy, because otherwise businesses won't listen that this extremely, absurdly well-known and well-supported fact is true.

Nevertheless, here is something specific to Game Development from 2016: https://www.takethis.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/CrunchHu...

Select quotations from papers quoted in that article:

"In a national Australian survey, employee cognition increased for hours worked up to 25 per week. Beyond that, cognitive abilities decreased. By 60-hours of work per week, cognition was lower than people who weren’t working at all (Kajitani, McKenzie, & Sakata, 2016)"

"In a large study of 4 US-based companies, productivity losses related to fatigue were estimated to cost the employers $1,967/employee each year (Rosekind, Gregory, Mallis, Brandt, Seal, & Lerner, 2010)."

"Lost productivity due to presenteeism (being at work while ill) is almost 7.5 times greater than that lost to absenteeism (Employers Health Coalition, 2000, p. 3)."

"In a study of a large, multi-employer, multi-site employee population, health care expenditures for employees with high levels of stress were 46% higher than those for employees who did not have high levels of stress (Goetzel et al., 1998)."

"People identified as workaholics were found to have higher rates of ADHD, OCD, anxiety and depression compared with those who weren’t ranked as being addicted to work (Andreassen, Griffiths, Sinha, Hetland, Pallesen, 2016)."
Neither side of the civil war believed that it should be celebrated after it was settled. Later revisionists put the statue in place as a means of furthering oppression.

I think this is probably an ideal outcome given the circumstances.
Eh I mean at least when DeSantis was lower on the food chain then he is now, the normal directive was that ec2 status wasn't updated unless a certain X percent of hosts were affected. Which is reasonable because a single rack going down isn't relevant enough to constitute a massive problem with ec2 as a whole.
I once had the inverse happen. I showed up as an architect at a pretty huge e-commerce shop. They had a project that had just kicked off and onboarded me to help with planning. They had estimated two months by total finger in the air guessing. I ran them through a sizing and velocity estimation and the result came back as 10 months. I explained this to management and they said "ok". We delivered in about 10 months. It was actually pretty sad that they just didn't care. Especially since we quintupled the budget and no one was counting.
I conceptually like the idea of dropping coding screens, etc - but how do you objectively identify what you're looking for in a candidate without adding bias to the process?

I.e., at least with a coding question, you can set up objective criteria. If you ask someone about their work, it might be a good experience but you're also setting yourself up to bias towards people who talk/think like you.
Great points.

I work in consulting, so thankfully I don't get stuck somewhere bad for long, but I have seen it first hand on many occasions. Enough to be jaded I guess.

You're right that remote work helps this a lot.

I do think that landing a remote job is probably more difficult for someone who is only an average / mediocre developer. You're competing against a larger pool of talented developers.
The measurement is per hr or 1000 hrs of driving, I would think

One thing I realized recently while interviewing candidates at my company is that it’s one of the few opportunities that individual contributors like myself have to exert significant power over someone else, and not everyone is prepared to handle it well.

Recently, we had a candidate come through that wasn’t a good fit for us (he claimed to be a cypress expert so we asked him to set cypress up in a dummy react repo and he floundered the entire time). One of my coworkers took some pot shots at the candidate, being deeply critical and rude, cutting the candidate off mid-sentence, etc. I was honestly embarrassed to be on the call and I thought it reflected poorly on my company. I’d never seen my coworker act like this before and it changed the way I felt about him.

I wonder how much of the leetcode interviewing culture is rooted in this desire to dominate candidates, since ICs rarely have opportunities to wield such power over others.
I still find it odd how we've erased one genocidal regime, but completely normalized another.

Off the top of my head, I'd have to say Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid. (aka GEB) I was in my mid/late-20's and always interested in math and computers but pretty much low-level applied things. I read that book over the holidays cover-to-cover having my mind blown chapter after chapter. It was a page-turner. And I'm sure if I were to read it all over, I would rediscover it as well as getting into more depth and appreciating some of the other story/topic threads that I was less interested in at the time.

The real answer though is my first computer, an Atari 400 8-bit machine--though I think I got it way before Christmas. I had been bugging my parents about a home computer all summer, first it was the Sinclair ZX-81 then maybe the TI-99/4a. These were all very expensive for a kid, so I declared it as my xmas/birthday and whatever presents all rolled into one, but I wanted it now. The VIC-20 was garbage and between the C64 and Atari, well I wanted to make video games and Atari was synonymous with that. To keep price down, I got the computer with Basic and Asteroids cartridges--so storage of any kind. I learned to code in basic and assembly (actually the machine codes as I had no assembler software I could load, so it was decimal numbers or strings poked into ram from basic). With no storage, I'd admire a program I spent days making for a while then power-cycle so I could play asteroids. I'm glad I skipped the cassette storage and got the floppy drive next year, which was like getting an HDD at that time for me. I learned things on that little machine that I still have vivid memories of and relate to in my thought processes solving problems.

I was hoping they’d do something more novel with the gameplay like break the fourth wall gameplay where I can hack the engine to hack the world; replace doors with walls, and characters would react to the state change appropriately. Like a god game in an FPS.

I’ve not played but I hear AI is still dumb af, it’s COD with a cliche Hollywood cyberpunk style.

Pretty sad our art is still tethered to 80s-90s fanboy stylings. I feel like the obligation for things to fit such a literal expectation constrains creators. Then again the stories coming out of the the dudes running these places. Egh
Regardless, you probably won’t need human level, general purpose AI to drive a car.

It’s just a dumb definitional game that some people insist on playing. AI doesn’t just mean human level intelligence. The field is bigger than that. When people talk about the AI in their video game, they’re not demanding that bots be as smart as humans.

There are more specific terms like hard AI or AGI for when that’s the topic of discussion, and there’s no reason to assume that whenever someone says AI they mean one of those other things.
your story reminded me of the Challenger disaster and the "see no evil" bureaucratic shenanigans about the O-rings failing to seal in cold weather.

Developing EC2 did involve building a whole new network. It was a new service, built from the ground up to be a public product.
Well, this is a dead thread but I thought I'd help out anyway.

What Russia did in the 20th century was called a workers dictatorship, and was meant to be a transition into communism, which is defined as a stateless and classless society. So, calling what Russia did 'communism' is a bit like calling what the fascists did 'capitalism', and then saying that because it didn't work, therefore capitalism doesn't work. Anarchists have generally stood against workers dictatorships because they seem to be an ineffective way of achieving communism, but they do want communism.

Soviet rule was at best state-capitalism, with the government creating market quotas, trading with other countries, annexing other countries for their resources, and ultimately still doing everything capitalist countries do, but with more state-intervention.
Yes, I lived in Milwaukee for most of my life and we saw the same things there from Lake Michigan. But you're saying Duluth is "relatively warm" but compared to what?

Normal heating degree days:

Duluth: 9,444
Twin Cities: 7,581
Portland, ME: 7,106

Duluth isn't particularly warm.
This is great, but I can't help but be bothered by the choice of "left" and "right" for relative addressing. The number 2 isn't "to the right of" the number 1. Addresses may move left-to-right in your mental model, but semantically they only increase or decrease.

You really want something like C++ STL's vector insert and erase methods.
No. See https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regio...

A region is a networking paradigm. An AZ is a group of 2-6 data centers in the same city more or less.

If a region goes down or is otherwise impacted, its AZs are unavailable or similar.

If an AZ goes down, your VMs in said centers are disrupted in the most direct sense.

It's the difference between loss of service and actual data loss.
Fossil fuels help industrial civilization, but I don't think it is the only option. We can produce fuels from organic matter. We can draw on hydro, wind, and solar energy. Even without advanced processes. Maybe industrial development would be slowed, but I don't think fossil fuels are essential.

I'm not a lawyer. If you're actually interested in an answer, and not simply trying to score points, ask a lawyer.

But my layman's guess is that the case isn't as simple as "the law is a joke or else CNN/FOX etc. could be immune from all libel and defamation lawsuits." I'm assuming there's some subtlety involved that you're unaware of, otherwise those media companies are simply stupid for not seeing something so obvious. I'm sure I could do the research myself, find the answer and compose a response detailing, with sources and footnotes, the reason your interpretation of the law is in error, but my experience on this forum has shown me that such efforts quickly lead to diminishing returns, and I have better ways to spend my time.

Also, Section 230 isn't vague. You can find the text of it here[0]. It's quite simple and straightforward as these things go.

Just doubled my pay. Bring on the recruiter spam.
Saw the same. The only cluster services I was running in Fargate were CoreDNS and cluster-autoscaler; thought it would help the clusters recover from anything happening to the node group where other core services run. Whoops.

Couldn't just delete the Fargate profile without a working EKS control plane. I lucked out in that the label selector the kube-dns Service used was disjoint from the one I'd set in the Fargate profile, so I just made a new "coredns-emergency" deployment and cluster networking came back. (cluster-autoscaler was moot since we couldn't launch instances anyway.)

I was hoping to see something about that in this announcement, since the loss of live pods is nasty. Not inclined to rely on Fargate going forward. It is curious that you saw those pod ages; maybe Fargate kubelets communicate with EKS over the AWS internal network?
Not doing anything different. Continuing to not live beyond my means.

At the end of the book The Broken Road [1], the great adventurer and writer Patrick Leigh Fermor writes about his stay on Mount Athos. This followed his 1930's journey, almost entirely on foot, from Holland down the Rhine and then along the Danube to Istanbul. The book and the two others about his trip are some of my all-time favorite bedtime reading.

There's more on Mount Athos on a website devoted to Fermor: [2]

Kropotkin was equally as opposed to war communism as a centrally planned economy and as opposed as he would have been to the NEP.

I don't think that, after thinking for a few seconds, the regular person would arrive to the conclusion that the USSR was only communist because of the name of the ruling party.

I also don't agree that, if people were introduced to society like the USSR with the only exception that they had decentralized planning, would conclude that it wasn't communist anymore.

Similarly a lot of people in the US have called the economic system of the AANES communist despite being neither centralized nor run by a communist party. All the people that called Bernie Sanders a communist despite him not being a member of the communist party also don't agree. Largely from, you know, collectivizing agriculture and seizing a third of the productive capital to then put it under the control of soviets.

In summary I don't think that people commonly understand communism as being dependent on the name of the ruling party.

Sure. Cystic Fibrosis Foundation funded research that resulted in a near-cure for CF patients with particular mutations.

https://www.cff.org/node/871

”More than 20 years ago, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation took the pioneering step of providing research funding to Aurora Biosciences (now Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) to identify and develop the first treatments for the underlying cause of CF. Driven by the relentless determination of the CF community, those investments led to the development of multiple transformative therapies to treat CF.”

> Talk it out

I personally hate this approach. Solving programming problems requires my full focus and vocalizing while trying to think is a challenge (partially due to my stutter). I can either focus on communicating clearly and professionally or I can stfu and code, not both.

I’m happy to solve a problem silently and talk about it after I’m done, but I won’t do a phone screen that asks me to word vomit in the middle of coding.
You probably don't know how to apply for a job.

Read up on how to do job interviews.

Do a game theory course if you need to understand why you don't tell an employer all your past mistakes and what meds you are on etc etc.

Worry more about Facebook, people lives on there are also fake to differing degrees, for slightly different reasons and probably not healthy to be doing, compared to LinkedIn which is built for fake lives, that's why you are there.

> And they tend to get crushed by real tech companies.

You'd be surprised how many legacy businesses are out there, places in the US other than the west coast, who are thriving still and haven't been disrupted.

Things like banking, insurance, manufacturing, healthcare. All of these industries have competition from startups, but are far from being crushed by them... Not yet at least.

I like your litmus tests though. I think it is helpful for people to have some specific things they look out for as red flags, as some "little things" can really be an early indicator into how it would be to work there.

1. I can now Cmd+Tab through all windows, rather than through all apps. (For example, say I have Mail and 4 Safari windows open, the standard macOS Cmd+Tab will just let me flip between Mail and Safari at a general level, but AltTab will let me switch through all of those 5 windows.)

2. Screenshots of all windows as you're switching.

Take a look at the development for the game Hades. They took their time and polished everything, even having a pre release game in steam and incorporating community feedback. Rushing is not the only option
Technically you are correct, I never use frameworks for other things. I program mostly in Python, PHP, C and C# - but I am in the mood for using one and I need to rapidly develop this... and quite frankly I don't like to do frontend so it's much more fun this way. The goal is to write as little code as humanly possible.
I have 25 years of experience and I spent a year looking for a job, getting rejected after complex, time-wasting tests and endless voice interviews that went nowhere. At one point I had to take a cognitive test which I actually failed.
