I can't speak for Linux specifically, but political capital is also an issue. You could have people willing and able to do such things, but that wouldn't be necessarily allowed to do so in practice if they haven't already established themselves for a while.
Might be off base here, but I think the title of this article discussing the sophistication of cuttlefish is a reference to this classic tweet [1], and while I kind of have the urge to write a comment exploring the shift in our culture that causes or permits The Newspaper of Record to make a joke a like that, I mostly just find it really funny.

This happens with a local store here called "Video Only", and they will typically stock higher end features. Example: A common Samsung Plasma could be found all over town for say, $800. The Video Only one was $900, and would drop to like $650 when it's time to move the new stuff in.

Their people will tell you all about doing that too.

The difference?

The set I got for $650 (and again, not exact, just representative numbers here) had the faster video processor and ran at 120Hz, which means the 3D capability ran at a full 60Hz for each eye, and game mode was low lag. Both very nice options, and finding them together sometimes meant buying another expensive model that comes with other fat margin, mostly useless features.

I have no doubt it's all about the price matching, but sometimes, depending on the retailer and their business model, it can be about differentiation, like actually having something better in some distinct way. The Video Only people cater to the home theatre crowd and tend to stock sets that are high technical performers at great prices.

Seeing it in the other direction, WalMart tends to have their special edition of whatever it is, and it's almost always price / performance, and or some extra pack in, or size change.
Blink[1] is a really cool open source app that will give you a shell on iOS and allow you to SSH into another machine. You can install it yourself, or purchase from the App Store.

If you want to use another computer you own, rather than a server in the cloud, Tailscale[2] will let you easily connect when away from home.

Yeah I think he used the word intuition. Exactly same insight though. I think “recency” is the bias that causes our view that tomorrow will be pretty similar to today. I’ve noticed it in myself, for sure. Market at X? Yup that seems rational. Hard to imagine the market at 2X or 1/2X. Bitcoin blew my mind during the ultra-growth phases.
If somebody has been doing something for 20 years and an assessment test can yield dramatically different results with 20 minutes of preparation, then the assessment test is total bullshit. It's going to yield a false characterization and is fundamentally garbage input

I know that's pretty strongly stated and it matches the strength of my convictions here. I've tried many methods. Asking someone to figure out something is a sliding window is a garbage test
The current patch actually just changed the number of days allowed in December, to give the team time to patch it properly. The date reported is December 33rd, 2021.
> Do people learn nothing from their past mistakes?

I kinda feel you've never worked with a large code base or database that has a legacy going back 25+ years...older than many of the commentators on this thread.

Not all of the data types used might have been obvious in their "danger", especially in ancient code. Sure you could run some analysis over the code, but can that analyser determine from a #def or variable name the true intent of the value being stored?

I wrote an application for a customer in 1986, and stone me, they were still running it in a DOSBOX emulator in 2004. Lucky for me dates weren't important.
Frantically learn about the Curve Wars, that should do it.
Yeah, properly benchmarking JS code is hard because of how complex is the V8's optimizing compiler infrastructure. I once made an online tool for measuring run times of JS code, with [hopefully, lol] proper warmup and protection against possible dead code elimination optimization.

There are a few clickable benchmark examples in the readme: https://github.com/xpl/what-code-is-faster#what-code-is-fast...
This strikes me as simple if you kind of reverse it, namely: The ability to do things like "land speculation" in online spaces is very silly but also perhaps harmless.

When you see these patterns show up in real life, you should immediately begin thinking about how to kill them.
This is such a silly question. Even if you are rich, holding onto gobs of cash is bad financial advice! I don't hold onto much more than $1k at a time and I make decent money.

This is a terrible way to assess financial health.
Yes, but the advantage is that the user sends their own public keys and they can switch it freely (and preferably easily, user click "login", a window pop up, user select a public key, done) at will. While client certificates is currently managed fully by the browser, and you need to adjust your HTTPS infrastructure in order to enable the feature.
What is canary deployment? When and how to use it
I don't think there's much difference either way. In both cases, a candidate gained a large advantage in a way that tells you very little about their ability.

I think this is why contrived questions gained popularity in the first place - they eliminated noise due to candidates randomly having solved similar problems before (that and "real life" problems usually can't be explained and solved in 1 hour).
A disease that kills 20-30% of the population halted in its path by the smallpox vaccine which gives IMMUNITY for decades!

The Covid vaccines are fraudulent and more and more people are realising this. The CDC changing the definition of a vaccine from "providing immunity" to "increasing protection" just after Covid-vaccinated people started getting infected shows arm-in-arm corruption with big pharma.

Your 10th booster shot will kill you not save you.
They are known for the highest paying salaries + providing stability relative to a high paying start-up. They aren't known for the 'best' software (how do you even quantify that) and Google specifically has a reputation for not maintaining software and letting products die. Generally not a hallmark of good software.

Also, the computer science shown asked in these questions is a very subset of computer science. I've never been asked an image processing question, non-trivial concurrency/parallelism, or numerical optimization questions (all things I've actually used in my job, I've never had to do strange linked list manipulations unfortunately). Those are all CS or CS adjacent but never get asked in my experience. I've also never been asked low level networking questions.

Instead it's just tricky graph questions and list/tree manipulation questions (that aren't that hard, but they are incredibly boring). CS is such a huge field, it's truly baffling that the technical interview questions at Google and Facebook are so miopic.
Have you ever taken direct personal legal liability for structural fasteners as a licensed professional?

I have.
When I am able to shop in an actual store, like for appliances, I've always had great luck talking to the service techs.

I just ask them which models are coming back to the store, and or for a recommendation.

My last washer, dryer, dishwasher and stove were all purchased this way and have ran for a long time now. Needed a new element for my dryer and stove a while back and both were available, easy to install.

And that's the last question: Service. What's available and can I get parts, etc...?
What Is This “Google Glass?”
> It's not specified in the article?

From the article:

> The function should have expected O(1) performance.

> Do that for rate limiting and it'll be super easy to DoS you

How so? The rate limiter has the same performance as, for example, a hash table. Operations are usually O(1), but are periodically O(n). It's not like every service that uses a hash-table is DoS-able.

Popular books are probably having a lot of fillers (like a good deal of Anime).

My experience with not so popular book is very different. "The democracy in America", "India After Gandhi", "Spin and other turns", "A corner of a foreign field", "The idea of natural inequality and other essays", "Scaling" are a few books that I really wish were longer.
The problem is that “mountain bike” means two things. To an MTB rider, it’s a vehicle optimized for mountain riding where the top priority is rider’s safety.

To everyone else, it’s a category of vehicles capable of off-pavement riding on trails. They should be referred to off-pavement bikes.
> My significant other doesn't support me leaving my job without another one lined up ...

Some cultures (at least east asian ones, according to my east asian friends) do value the "job security" aspect over most everything else.

eg "It's your job as a provider to ensure we're secure, and nothing else matters more"

It _seems_ to be part of the "is this person going to be a good parent for future children, giving them a stable home?" mind set.
(best wording I can think of atm)

It doesn't really seem to be compatible with taking any kind of employment risk. :( :( :(

If your significant other can't understand you _need_ to take a break, that in itself is going to create more stress. Hopefully you can figure out a positive solution, together. :)
I just wrote a couple commments here talking about actually talking to people. It's how I still prefer to buy many things.

Reviews? Have pretty much ignored them for many things. It has been hard to see the value, frankly. There are always a lot of them, and the information quality has been high noise and dubious in many cases.
It would be a thousand A/B tests, because there was no one "covid measure". Individual measures like wearing n95s in crowded areas like stores make sense, but not allowing music at gyms is stupid. My childrens' school is still on full lockdown. They are wearing masks outside and must keep distance from each other. And all students are fully vaccinated. Makes no sense.
COVID causes more cases of myocarditis.
Sure, I guess I mostly agree with you, and in an ideal world there would be no misdiagnosis, but without that you have to give people the benefit of the doubt. Otherwise, you're just mean.

> I also have trouble falling asleep and have made bad decisions in the past. I have effective strategies to mitigate. Do I actually have ADHD and need to take amphetamines?

This is a huge tell that you don't have ADHD. Effective strategies! My kingdom for even a somewhat effective strategy.

If you're a child and adults are making decisions for you, obviously without some sort of physical genetic or blood or radiological test there's a fundamental and significant margin of error.

For adults who have spent most of their lives suffering ignorantly to put together the pieces and obtain a diagnosis is basically a triumph. The sort of problems many people face on a regular basis are serious enough challenges that without medical intervention, they would be jobless or homeless or their friends and family would leave them or worse.

Most people don't share unprompted how many times they've been fired, how many tests they failed or classes they flunked out of, flights they missed, bills they didn't pay, gifts they didn't buy, family members they indirectly harmed emotionally or physically (ever put off buying food for you kids?)

The problem is that we have reduced executive function. It's like sitting on a train track with a train approaching head on and thinking "I know I should get out of the way but I think I'll just wait a little longer". Relying only on a fight-or-flight response to progress through life is dangerous.

Finally, yes, sure, it's all a band-aid, but if you're able to tell me what I can do to stop taking drugs I will literally throw money at you. You'd be rich. They're not fun. The side effects are not fun. They don't make you feel good. Don't confuse prescribed amphetamines for recreational drug use. They're not equivalent.
I know of a system that uses "1/1/2099" everywhere an "infinity" date is needed.

The problem with fixing it, is nobody thinks it will be their problem.
> And I agree, it would and therefore the definition is potentially meaningless. But pedantically it is blocking (but the functions called within it aren't to the current thread).

If I was going for maximally pedantic but still useful definitions, I'd say that a "[non-]blocking syscall" is a different concept from how you'd describe running functions synchronously or asynchronously. And to elaborate, something like: Code that runs asynchronously is non-blocking, code that runs synchronously can be either blocking or non-blocking, and a syscall always has at least some synchronous code.

I like the idea of saying a syscall is non-blocking if the spec says it returns instantly. But I would add on to that, and say that if "this is not a real-time-OS" is the only reason the spec doesn't say it returns instantly, then we should call that non-blocking too. Or "non-blocking*" with a footnote that mentions RTOS issues.

You ask about getpid() taking a second. I'd say that within the model of "put those RTOS issues aside", that doesn't happen and can't happen. Just like we usually exclude unplugging the computer from our execution model, so too we exclude "linux isn't RTOS" from our execution model. getpid can't get stuck waiting on any resources, and does only trivial computation, so it will return immediately.
Multiple friends and family members are currently successfully managing their depression. Prior to that multiple weren't able to manage their depression and killed themselves. I had a close friend thank me on her birthday for suggesting ketamine - she said she probably wouldn't be alive without me making her aware of it.
Thank you for the correction. We currently think heat death is around 10^3247 years, so we're back to Lisp bignum to express years. Might be a corollary to Greenspun's tenth rule: any sufficiently optimistic date package contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of Common Lisp bignum?
Building codes are complex and nuanced creatures. Safety features prominently but it is certainly not "the whole point."

Some elements are for safety. Some elements are aesthetic: give the town a coherent look and feel. Some elements are economic: promote property value, ban what could be seen as ugly or low class. Some elements regulate interactions between neighboring lots: setbacks, placement of windows, rules for fences and trees, limits on combining adjoining properties. Some elements serve redistributive or consumer protection goals: minimum dwelling sizes and features, standards for light and air. Some elements seek to curate the community's demographics. Obviously we regulate plumbing for safety and sanitation reasons. We also regulate plumbing to prevent illegal second kitchens, which could bring renters or multigenerational (immigrant) households into homes meant for affluent (white) nuclear families.

It is multifaceted, overlapping (safety at all costs? or find
a way to price out the dirty poors and blame it on safety?), and different people at different times may be intentionally lying or genuinely confused about the intentions behind and effects of different rules. And that's just in theory. In practice there are whole other layers regarding what goes on at the permit counter, in variance/discretionary review hearings, and in day to day enforcement operations.
I didn't even start. Looked too much like I should have been a paid test subject.

It's still a full time job that precludes you from doing a great many normal family activities for the child's entire lifetime. There is also the danger that your state may elect budget hawks who decide to cut funding for the programs halfway through your child's life, leaving you on the hook for ruinous medical expenses. It can also be very unfair to your other children who are going to basically lose out on activities because their disabled sibling requires too much care.
Google search results are actually horrible. My partner and me were searcbing today for the annual budged of public media in Poland. A couple of years ago the top result would have been the correct answer. Today we only got crap and gave up after 5 pages (sear result pages) clicking through ad infested links.

Two days ago I searched for a mission description of a game because my partner was talking to me and I only got half of the mission description. Top results were sites which copy headlines from forums and display tons of advertisements. This made me furious and I wouldn't be surprised if Google is by design ranking search results from certain categories based on advertisement real estate. The more Google-ads the more prominent the search result.

I make Pichai responsible for all the spam. He is, in my opinion, actually an idiot who doesn't understand that his strategy will be the downfall of Google as THE search engine. I really miss Page and Brin and their "Don't Be Evil" culture.
Yes, but these type of articles have been around even before Covid. Here's one from 2013

Giving Google more data about yourself will help. Improve relevance and Google revenues.

Online advertising will make Google better and that will make you and the world better, too. Therefore, always support online advertising in every way you can.

Yes, it was pure joy when-in 2009- Zotero beat Reuters:
A Virginia Circuit Court judge dismissed a lawsuit this morning against George Mason University’s Center for History and New Media.

Thomson Reuters Inc. had sued the university in a Virginia court in September for at least $10-million in damages, claiming that Zotero, a free software tool created by the university, made improper use of the company’s EndNote citation software.

Zotero is a plug-in for the Firefox Web browser that is designed to help scholars store and organize their online research. The program, which could convert EndNote files, had been downloaded over one million times by September.

George Mason University said in November it had not renewed a site license for EndNote, and would not make any changes to its software.

A spokesman for the university confirmed the case had been dismissed but declined to comment further. Officials at Thomson Reuters were not immediately available for comment on the dismissal. — Marc Beja https://www.chronicle.com/blogs/wiredcampus/judge-dismisses-...

This is exactly the type of question that is the worst for interviews. It's a completely uncalibrated, completely subjective, esoteric type of question where you can't say exactly why you liked a candidate or why you didn't like her. There's no data underneath it except for "I liked how the conversation went."

It completely gives an advantage to candidates who know 3D and completely gives a disadvantage to candidates that know nothing about it. Even worse, they are relying on YOU to explain it to them. Who's to say you are sufficiently qualified to teach people the basics of 3D graphics enough such that they can answer your questions? Have you been calibrated or judged on your ability to teach even the basics of 3D graphics? Or are you assuming that you're good enough?

It's completely inappropriate and relying completely on you to determine a candidate's qualifications based on nothing except your feelings. It's a horrible question and I seriously hope this is not entertained at all at your company.
It really does pain me to know that anyone, including yourself, suffers with depression. It's an illness which I would not wish onto even my worst enemy, because of how cruel it really is. You are living life, but you are not truly alive. Depression kills you day by day.

I'm sorry that none of the treatments have worked for you. I can understand how that leaves you feeling very little hope. It may provide some comfort to know however, that it is often a problem of finding the one treatment that works. It's a crude science of essentially trial and error, but there should still be some hope that you can find some combination of medication and therapy that will help. Don't give up on your search. It's a matter of life and death.

The social aspect very well could be a major factor for you. Given you have tried so many medications, that does lead one to wonder if it's not some chemical imbalance but rather a deep void left by a feeling of disconnectedness from social circles. In that case, you owe it to yourself to work on this.

Work on becoming more social. Just like learning to ride a bike, or learning geometry, you can learn to be more social. Do it for your mental health. I fully understand how it feels to hear the words "work" as someone with depression. It's the great conundrum of the disease - you have no energy, no willpower, no drive, nothing. Giving advice to "work on yourself" is well, bad advice frankly. But that's where therapy, and medication, can give you the little "boost" that you need to start putting in the work to your personal life where it's needed most.

How to be social is about finding your community, your people.
Yeah, it definitely depends on what you like and I get that different people like different types of weather. To me though, that sounds pretty miserable, except for the dry summer, except it's not hot so not great for doing summer activities.

Just wondering, have you lived anywhere with a different climate?
In other words, we're still taking sides. The existence of asymmetry in the universe, isomers, strongly suggests foundational elements of mathematical logic are inherently part of things, and that we can construct all the usual inductive layers up from and/or/not in some form mechanistically, purely from things as they are, reason absent. Beyond inductive, philosophical questions and completeness and p/np are perhaps innately artefacts of conciousness. Most of the maths of things as they are lies outside these problems. It's a very big universe to argue humans define all states of being... but I grant that the idea of a number which is one more than the value you count to, before entropy prevents all counting is "out there" as a value beyond existence as we understand it, and doubtless countless other numbers and values and expressions. I live in hope some shrimp like thing, or a gas giant conscious cloud is working on that problem.
