I appreciate comedy, you're just not funny.

You think comedy is just saying things that are false?

Oh look, I'll just say the opposite of everything - haha wit!
But the "current" monitor is the one with the GUI and the mouse cursor. The secondary monitor is the one being used for external video. There are even dedicated APIs for it.

Are you a macOS user? Your other examples talk about Windows Update... the situation in macOS is a bit different, which is a lot of people doing audio/video flock to it. Not everyone needs external hardware, just a MacBook can do a lot.
We want things to be "loyal" to their owners. But the key point in this story is that if you don't pay for your car, then you're not the owner of it.
I've had multiple interviewers over the years tell me to my face that they didn't think that my education was useful/valid/rigorous because it wasn't Stanford (or MIT).

Though I'd still prefer that to the ones that told me that my more than a decade of professional experience isn't useful/valid because my parts of the industry "chose the wrong programming languages". I particularly loved the hypocrisy of getting that criticism from a company trying to win more companies like the ones I've worked for to their Cloud platforms. It seemed pretty obvious why they were having difficulty winning some of them over to their platform if they absolutely just hated the languages they worked with.
Who is the "theft crowd"?
It for sure has a "death by a thousand papercuts" vibe to it. One of those papercuts is that they have modified the GTK theme so heavily that when you run Eclipse IDE on it the text and background are the same color.
What package management issues do you have?
Haven't had anyone overtly rude, but one strange experience.

Did a live coding and they said something along the lines of being one of the fastest to complete it and scheduled another call. So far so good.

Follow up call with some higher up on "culture". The guy seemed like a parody human, reminded me of PC Principal, 'out here crushin it bra on the daily', that type. Except he wasn't some young out of college bro, but some 40ish guy in a shirt and tie. He really spoke at me the whole time, I don't remember saying much. Maybe he saw my disdain, maybe I rolled my eyes, I don't remember.

About 20 mins after that call I got a rejection email. Very odd experience, but I assume I dodged a bullet.
That's the whole point of essentially opening your books to the insurance company on as a regular a basis as corporate sees. They're a lot better than corporate at noticing 'systemic irregularities' that correspond to org charts, and have a financial interest in rooting them out. And insurance knows this and so gives you a better rate on it all because of the 'close relationship'. Additionally corporate typically values smooth revenue streams over strictly maximized revenue streams which is why they have insurance for shrink in the first place.
That’s a great way to put things in perspective: Have I consumed more than my weight in plastic this year?
What? Ugh "inequality discourse" is so bad. Insofar that people are being the work, the real probme is not rich moneybag's yachts, but the proliferation of inefficient small business that is politically powerful / service industry.

The "sin" is more shared, sure. Big industry can get a lot done with new people, and thus small bussines soaks up the freed up labor just enough to keep people busy and suffering, but not so much that the labor market is tight. Small business also has a lot of power in shitty FTP democracy like ours, when big industry can't be as geographically wide spread without loosing efficiency.

By taking out the small bussiness with rising "minimal productivity", we force there to be a UBI because it's the only way the big industry can have customer's. That however in turn means big business not hiring people no longer creates the same desperation for jobs. This means that big business must have better working conditions too.

Going after yachts, alone, is stupid virtue signalling which doesn't fix the injustice that is the labor market. No one gives a fuck if Bezos's life is more boring is that neighbor asshole owning the McDonald's franchise can still bully his burger flippers.
I've had candidates do their phone interviews by walking out of the office they're working at currently. It was awesome trying to understand their answers as a motorcycle rips past on the street. I think its just a lack of respect and self effort awareness on all sides. Just think about what you are going to be doing ahead of time is all it takes.
Currently I have a mix of clients - some startups, job boards, digital consultants, content agencies that want to manage and track clicks. Basically understand their campaign so that they can improve and perform better.

The good thing is that you can basically track anything. One of my clients uses short links on buttons and images to track conversions.

And yes, publishing industry can definitely benefit from this.
You’d have to outlaw going to another country to get healthcare
we use WASM heavily, but outside the browser and integrated into our own "game" client & server as a powerful sandboxed cross-platform runtime environment.

we write our WASM modules in Rust as well and share a lot of crates from our native Rust code and GPU Rust code.
Some of them maybe comes down to "people are technically only scheduled for 29.5 hours but are pressured into working overtime or coming in when they're not scheduled, which doesn't count towards full-time healthcare accrual"?
There's more and more companies that don't give you coding exercises at all. They'll have code reviews, or a debugging exercise, system design, all the other stuff, but will skip the algo question.

I hate algo/whiteboarding myself, especially complex ones, but I think there's some value in doing some minimal in person fizz-buzzing, especially if you work for a very popular company. The amount of people who can talk through interviews all day long but can't code is too high not to at least attempt to filter them out.

What I do is give a very simple question, and make it clear that its not a "gotcha" question and that I just want to talk through with them how they'd solve it, to at least filter out the "deer in headlights" candidates. No one walked out of that to this day.
Certainly not just the USA. Also, unless you are travelling large distances or travelling at criminal speeds, you aren't really saving that much time by speeding.
> and maybe stop paying an accountant to do my taxes

My mother was an accountant for years, I learned a lot of accounting, but there is a MASSIVE difference between knowing how to basically bookkeep and the tax code.

I'm in the US - so might be easier in less tax-lobbied countries.

When I started my second consulting firm (after closing down my first when I took a "real job"), I initially tried to go at it myself, but payroll is a complex process, so I decided to outsource that. Cost me $20/mo, but saved me hours of work. Then when the end of my first tax year hit, I started trying to figure out how to do my corporate taxes myself. Downloaded all of the tax forms I could find that I needed, and printed the couple hundred pages of information. 4 weeks into filling out the forms and 2 weeks before a filing deadline, I gave up. To the best of my knowledge I had underpaid my quarterly estimates by $30k.

I reached out to a small business accountant (brother of a good friend), and for only $1200, he handled the 112 page tax return, found out I had only underpaid by less than $2000, also found a whole bunch of write offs I didn't even know to look for, and did a full reconciliation of my accounts for that.

It was at this point that I decided I will always pay for professionals to do the part of this job that I am not proficient at. All of my various accounts-related services add up to less than 1% of my revenue, and if it were even 5 or 10% of my revenue, I'd probably still pay it, just to know it was done correctly.
We are talking about different things. Yes, you cannot 100% prevent a dialog to appear without custom hardware. And of course, even with custom hardware, the OS could decide to disable it to stop output to it.

But this isn't the point. So far, there were full screen modes and the OS would honor those under regular circumstances. When I run a Linux VM on a Mac, I can see the whole Linux desktop full screen. I don't want MacOS draw colored dots on top of my Linux VM. People probably don't want yellow dots on their PowerPoint presentation.
> It is inevitable that the top 1% will be bearing most of our taxes

[posts a graph that shows top 1% bears about 35%, not most, of income taxes, ignoring payroll and other regressive taxes]

Compare to https://i.imgur.com/KLmRsY8.png , which indicates that the top 1% have about 20.9% of income and pay about 24.1% of taxes.
O.o OMG 4k and 60 fps! it's like having the person in front of you! Nice work! Thanks for the sharing, i Love it!

> and I feel bad for interviews I've given where I was distracted

I had this happen, i had his resume up on my screen for the interview and i was taking notes and suddenly i got a message that there was some big production issue i had to help with, so yeah i couldn't focus on the interview. I still feel bad about that
I've seen the TDD one, and I hate that so much. The last time I interviewed for companies, I started asking "how do you want me to answer this? Are you looking for me to get a complete solution quickly, or write this like I was writing software I planned to maintain?", but I really shouldn't have to - putting your candidates through a guessing game of which you want is a dumb way to interview.
I'm afraid that the past couple decades in technological progress have been unkind to people who might have engaged in such tinkering. DRM and safety regulations will ensure that vehicle repair, modification, and fabrication are pastimes for the rich or the professionally trained.

If this category of ultra-low-cost EV is brought to Europe or North America at scale, I think it'll be on some sort of subscription model where maintenance is locked down as a service that accompaies the subscription package.

This would ensure that component replacement is baked into the ongoing revenue model, and that the manufacturer can retrofit more robust components as needed without the capital expenses of acquiring or developing a durable vehicle from the get-go.
> takehome

They’re all bad options in some way, but at least takehomes simulate how most people actually approach a project, rather than sitting there trying to do something while someone stares at you. Some of us really, really hate that.
> you have nothing to lose by sharing your thoughts at this point

My concern is she may be unhappy to hear someone that she just hired a little over a month ago isn't working out and then if the company has layoffs in the near-future I'm the first she's going to pick to let go.

Granted it might seem odd to worry about losing a job I want to leave anyway, but I'd prefer searching for a job while I still have one instead of while being unemployed.
> It's a hedge against automation; it should push up the price of labor by reducing supply; and it just makes life significantly better for everyone.

This wouldn't be a "hedge against automation", it would be a catalyst for further automation. You'll reach the point where the only sensible thing for a company to do is to automate.

It may make life better for those who are still employable in a market where it's cheaper to pay a few engineers to design automation than to pay all the overtime you'd otherwise need to be shelling out. And in the long run (100 years out) we'll probably be better off for the automation. But in the short run intentionally making people harder to employ doesn't make any sense to me.
I agree with you and has been my biggest learning so far.
Some of us just hate having bosses. Being subject to someone's whims is such a repulsive feeling for me that I will go to great lengths to avoid it.

I actually even hate having dominant customers. My ideal model of business is a ton of smaller customers, with none of them having more than 10 per cent share of the total revenue.

Also, finding more ways to grow your business is rewarding - both psychologically and financially. I like "hacking" the question of "how can I introduce product X to more people who might be interested in buying it?"
The first line of the linked Wikipedia page states that it will never be created.
>I would like to see the stats with people who are in prison for low level drug offenses taken out.

Lucky for you, criminologists have crunched the numbers over and over again. Only 20% of prisoners are incarcerated for drug offenses—not just “low-level” ones. Furthermore, many of them are violent offenders who pleaded down to lesser offenses as part of a plea bargain.

In other words, the United States could release every single drug offender from prison and still have the highest incarceration rate in the world. Mass incarceration is overwhelmingly driven by violent offenders. America is simply a much more violent country than any European one.
Are there government run medical systems today that have no supplemental policies available?

Anecdotally, I was required to use the VA and only the VA for a period of time. Private healthcare options drastically improved my quality of life during this time.
Treating me like a child because I'm applying for new grad/junior positions. If they looked at my birthdate they'd notice I'm 30. I'm trying to support a family, and I am unavailable during the days because I am working full time to support that goal, but they want me to participate in 2-3 interview steps which could range anywhere from 15 minutes to 4 hours and it's apparently rude of me to ask for that information beforehand so I can try to get my current job not to fire me for constantly taking time off with relatively short notice.

Very few places actually did any defunding of the police. The SFPD's budget for 2021 is only about 1% lower. The evidence in TFA shows the public's subjective perceptions have no correlation with actual crime rates, and subjective crime rates also seem to have no correlation with police budgets. Also, TFA shows crime hasn't increased, it's the whole point of the article.

> I'd have to see the code but it sounds like bad design.

I think that dev called that "enum case with parameters" or something similar. Don't really remember at this point.

> _why on earth_ would you ever want to be able to override that func's params and feed it something else?

No, I meant overwriting function arguments within the function itself to avoid rewriting the code below that point. I do sometimes do that in Java and I find it a sensible thing to do. For example

public String doSomethingWithTwoStrings(String a, String b){
if(some condition){
a=something else;
}
// do something with (possibly overwritten above) a and b
return result;
}

I'm used to treating function parameters as pre-populated local variables. Swift compiler gets in the way and doesn't let me do that because immutability. Comparing with Java, it's as if everything is `final` by default.
This looks super exciting. As an Android developer who has not yet built a Flutter app, I'm intrigued if this can be a stepping stone to ramping up on flutter.

I looked over the video. It is nice to see a compressed video, but it was still hard to understand what to pay attention to inside a 20 minute video. It would be great if you added callouts to the important moments so people could easily jump to the important items.

Is Firebase a requirement? I tried to create a sample app and was immediately told I needed to setup Firebase. I didn't see a way to skip that step, but perhaps it is because I used a sample template? I would prefer to use GraphQL as a backend, and am not sure if the full Firebase stack (auth, storage, realtime) are used, or if you can swap pieces in and out when desired.

Congratulations on your launch!
I feel shame for the United States, not for the parents.

Richest country in the world, but for whom?
Right, I'm not disputing the math of herd immunity. What I'm getting at is that we "lost the race". Delta emerged from India in Dec 2020 before vaccines became publicly available. Maybe Rt of the original strain would have been pushed below 1, but the Rt of delta among the vaccinated is way above 1. Omicron is even worse w.r.t immune escape.

We know there are many viruses we can manage with mass vaccination and herd immunity, such as smallpox and measles. But the important difference is those diseases don't mutate as quickly as covid. Therefore it's not a given that covid is something that can be snuffed out with the same methods. We're clearly in a position of playing catch-up and fire-fighting.

Your post implies a sentiment like: "if only we didn't half ass things, we could've beaten this virus. The problems aren't with the measures themselves, just that we didn't go far enough."

Ok, how much further should we go compared to countries that have the strictest measures? Take Australia for example, they have quarantine camps, lockdowns for the unvaccinated, advanced tracing and databases, etc.

For a while this worked pretty well. But their cases have been skyrocketing as of July this year, and it's likely a delta wave. What will omicron look like once it gets there? Would you say their measures were half-baked?

You express indignation but don't say what we should have done differently or what we should do now.

Those who share your mindset come off as having a kind of denial-ism, and an urge to point the finger.

The fact is we're not as "in-control" as we like to think. Nature is inevitable. Our technology and ability to organize is bad.

Let's recognize that an endless state of emergency also has consequences, health measures should be proportional, and for the most part we've done our best. If we can't snuff out the disease and the variants are getting milder anyway, then it's time to start thinking about moving past covid.
> Automation is displacing many jobs; shortening the work week to reduce the supply of labor comparably makes sense.

On the contrary, today's automation is half-assed machine learning bullshit for shits and is giggles, because there is not enough labor shortage to make the boring stuff (more kiosks, more trains, etc.) a good investment.

Cheap labor is the cause of automatino and undermines the capitalist drive for automation. The only way to us programmers to meaningfully contribute to society outside of stupid moon shots is to continuously reduce the supply of labor so their is demand for efficiency --- honest demand that isn't predicated on the tech in question being "cool".

I've never dealt with a rude interviewer. A friend of mine mentioned that her interviewer showed up 10 minutes late to the call, then interviewed her for an entirely different position (and wouldn't change course after being told as much), all while peeling an eating a small orange.
Tesla owners like this backdoor ability. Indeed, some people consistently unlock their car with their phone (via the cloud), I hear.

In this case though some people are objecting to who the "owner" is. And I think that the people objecting are wrong. And (I assume) so does the law.

Your car is not protected from the bank or the government by its keys, but by the law.

Same as your house. If you lose your house legally, you'll lose your house physically.

The fact that the bank (indirectly) called Tesla instead of a locksmith is to me irrelevant in this case.

Now, in the abstract, is it uncomfortable that the car manufacturer can unlock your car? Sure. But we knew that they could. How else could your phone do it.

I hate to break it to you, but your telco can tap your phoneline. The bus can track your public transport movement. I can follow you on the street. Your power company can effectively track when you're away on vacation.

This case was not abuse. And it doesn't even have to be cloud-connected to enable this kind of owner-depriving abuse. As soon as cars got their first microchip they could have gotten firmware that would brick the car unless it went to an authorized dealer twice a year for "reset".

I'm not saying there aren't dangers, but this case isn't it.
How popular is the practice of keeping Ganesha idol temporarily during Ganesha festival before dissolving it compared to the rest of India. I heard the reason for starting the practice of Ganesha Idol temporarily is to counter the spread of Buddhism by inventing this festival as entertaining. I am trying to find the correlation b/w popularity of Buddhism and temporary Ganesha idol.
HTTPie is simple to use from command line. I use it for testing our apis.
I don't believe it would imply that, because those are independent elements. RGBA would still be stored as R, G, B, A unless you're considering each pixel as a single 32-bit integer. A C structure for the colors would even live in memory in the order you expect. Just like a string is still stored byte-by-byte even in little-endian contexts.

LE vs BE would only affect multi-byte integers and floats, not arrays or structures of single-byte elements.
I've tried Elementary a few times, but the hardware support has never been good enough for me to install it because the base is always ancient as all hell for some reason.
whiteboard/leetcode is not necessary. discuss a prior project and walk through code of a prior project and discuss it. if you don’t have a prior project, build one. takes only a few days and you will have a new asset you own the IP to. if your interviewers don’t do it this way, pass politely.
Great to hear from an early access user, thanks so much and very glad you enjoyed the experience!

Wish you the best of luck as well
> 1) There's nobody who supports the idea of letting any idea be vetoed by anyone. It's not a belief that people have.

No, but many existing systems of governance allow (nearly) anyone to raise an objection, thereby delaying the decision making process. If a concerted effort by enough "anyones" is made, a decision can be forcefully delayed long enough that it is essentially halted.

For certain processes (e.g. environmental reviews in certain states or municipalities) this entire setup is arguably by design.
I didn't even mention non-locality.
> What would you rather have?

Ideally? Not to assume my resume/education experience is a lie and to instead assume that I've done enough technical work by this point to merit respect that I don't need to prove some "technical merit" via any sort of whiteboarding exercise that is neither anything like day-to-day technical work nor it is it much more than time wasting busy work to give interviewers plenty of room for excuses on why they don't like people.

But, I'm in a minority opinion in general that I'd rather see the industry mature and if it needs to build a standardized test like the MCAT or the Bar Exam or PE certification to stop asking trivia questions in interviews it should just build a standardized test and stop wasting everyone's time.
