> Europeans that wouldn't lift a finger on a weekend would expect Taiwanese to have results on Monday morning

My Monday morning is Taiwan’s end of business day. I would expect the message is acknowledged and that at least simple questions be answered by then. OTOH, they can sure expect me to act on their requests while they are off for the evening.
Where on Earth did you get an idea that creativity was needed in the first place?

Creativity is not scalable, even dangerous, and big companies strive to scale => they need obidient soldiers, playing by the rules and just smart enough to not f*ck up a critical project.

Hence the Leetcode. It's a perfect way to ensure obidience, just enough brains, patience and motivation to risk wasting few month of preparation to the interview for the chance to get in FAANG.

If you want to be creative — "go fund yourself"! :)

I mean it in a positive way, because I feel exactly like you, ready to dump my current well payed job for the risky chance to do whatever I myself feel interesting and meaningful.

Wish you best of luck finding your challenges, and don't be so hard on yourself, leetcode is not a big deal anymore. Besides, there are plenty of startups these days full of creative people without leetcode mindset.
Ideally speakers should be flat. If you want effects they should be done in software.

Thank you for the sub and good luck!
It's "full-stack" in the sense that it's not only client-side - it's more like next in that you have code that lives on a server and can respond to client invocations, which is useful if you want to do server-side rendering and so on. It has some neat payoffs - you can use cookies for auth even if your frontend lives on a different domain, because the frontend server can read those - but IME it's a pain if you just want an SPA, and despite what most of the Kit community thinks, those are still pretty useful. You can't SSG an E2EE chat app.
Lol. Show me someone who can solve these problems under interview conditions after taking a freshman algo course, without further practice and I will show you the greatest genius who has ever lived. Humans are not that smart. But they are tricky lying assholes who will pretend to have not practiced if it advances them.

This is a case of under-investment and poor design. The London Underground, for example, the oldest underground railway in the world, manages 2-3 minute headways (29 trains per hour) on many central lines, both sub-surface and deep level.

Of course, you need to invest in the infrastructure to make it work, but it's very possible.

A quick Google suggests that in Tokyo they even hit 50 trains per hour, so one every 1m20s, which is insanely impressive.
> It's hard to find a country that you can fairly compare the US to in all respects.

Surely that is the point of making the comparisons: to highlight the differences, omissions, and additions so that they can be addressed.
I only learned two things in 2021:

1. When you actually have the time to binge them you will notice that most new netflix/disney/... series are pretty boring and/or stupid.

2. As much as I hate admitting it, I actually miss talking to other people IRL. My previous plan to make some money and then move to a cabin in the woods for the rest of my life is probably a bad idea.

Every job I see in these sort of areas are very senior level of staff/principal and want significant domain experience in whatever the hell it is they’re doing.

You will find that is the majority of IT companies. The thing is, it root of the issue is people and people are generally the same no matter where ever you go.

This a far bigger issue for me than a lack of trust. Code reviews should be a high priority for your engineers, especially the senior ones.
I love the concept of the Framework and it fits my use-case but I really wish they would at least add some form of screen configurability/options to their tech roadmap.

- I need a mate screen option, glossy displays in ambient light give me headaches.

- Some folks will also probably want touchscreens (uber glossy), more power to them

- Would also be very cool to bring back the old tech of transflective displays like the one in the Pixel Qi display. For folks that want to work outside (me again!) and are not fussed about color accuracy.
Do you adjust it for inflation? 1995 $500 is quite a bit more than 2021 $500
It's for EC2, RDS, and bandwidth, mostly evenly contributed.

I‘m running the system at 70% spare capacity.

I'm not worrying too much about the cost as of now because I have some free credits to spend.

Also, it's more rewarding to double my revenue instead of halving my server cost.
Unfortunately I didn’t see any comments other than one in passing about the trackpad’s feel and software integration. At the moment I consider macOS to still have the edge over other implementations (software, the glass feel and haptics all in harmony), but I do know that in recent years the precision touchpads have come a long way.
IMO the best org phone client is a VPS + CLI emacs + good mobile SSH client + syncthing. Requires connectivity but then I have e.g. org-agenda feature parity. I basically live in this setup. Surprisingly ergonomic to use with a touchscreen and phone keyboard.

If I have no connectivity, the last thing I want is to be editing my org files on yet another device and introducing conflicts. I use something like beorg (ios) for background-sync offline read-only access but don't use it to write offline.
SeaweedFS sounds very interesting indeed, though I'm a bit concern about the complexity. For example, there are so many Filer metadata backend options that it's difficult for me to pick one.

I think the document should have a clearer guideline about best practices when deploying a SeaweedFS cluster for different situations: small cluster, large cluster, H/A cluster etc..
You realize the framework laptop’s cpus are limited to 4 cores, right?

No $2000 laptop in 2020 should have only quad core cpus.

The M1 16gb will run circles around the i7-1185g7 (highest spec chip framework sells) compiling llvm with 64gb of ram.

Only using a shitload of idle VMs will have any apparent benefit over M1 MacBook pros.

The cpu is just too limiting for the 64gb of ram argument.
not really that much, just a slightly exotic item like say maple syrup
Who in their right mind asked for this?
This can't go uncorrected - it was never free and nobody has ever complained that it isn't. I've been giving them money for over a decade.
What decent laptop can you get for $500.

I paid £500 for a laptop 10 years ago (so, more with inflation) and it was:

1) Built really shit, fell apart after a year, broken hinges, weird fan noise

2) Got super hot.

3) had about 3hrs on battery if you avoided doing anything on it.

4) was huge and heavy.

Not saying you’re wrong. But maybe your expectations vastly differ from mine.
Isn't that a good thing? The externalities are universally good - single parents have it significantly easier. Even married moms have easier time to find work or occupation outside of the house - whether for money or to not be restless and isolated.
Anyone can report to VAERS. Evidenced by the reports if you care to peruse them. There are a lot of gems like, "he got the vax and then just died" and "my baby died a few weeks after I received the vaccine" and my favorite, "my cat died a few days after I got vaccinated". Considering the infinitely higher level of publicity that VAERS has received for this vaccine vs all previous vaccines, my guess is that it is over-reported.
Quote: "If you need to do native iOS or macOS development then a MacBook is your obvious choice."

No, it's not. I do cross-platform development for over a decade now and all I have are virtual machines. Over 2 dozens of them and I never owned any Apple hardware. Why pay for overpriced hardware when virtualization covers everything for a 100th of the price?

We think that many users of Small Child should actually read the user manual before complaining. You see, Small Child has a very simple logic: it makes tons of mistakes to learn. The new users shouldn't be put off and learn the most important skill needed to use Small Child : patience. Please don't compare Small Child to other devices which usually are tailored for efficiency, return on investment, getting answers, etc. Small Child just require you to spend a lot of time and energy into it (we mean a lot). If you don't think you can commit a huge amount of time and energy into it, please don't choose Small Child; keep buying distracting toys instead. However, if you use Small Child and follow its upgrade plan for at least 12 years, we can guarantee you a level of pride and happiness you will never find in other systems, ever.

Nope. I take from the text that prosecutors-and-or-law-itself defend the interests of super rich better than the interests/well-being of commoners.

> I would be very careful before jumping to conclusions and asserting with high confidence that the court verdict is flawed.

Good for you. I'm not saying it is flawed, neither am I passing judgement on who's guilty... I'm saying it seems the whole system is favoring the some over others.

You can buy it without RAM, without storage, without WiFi card, and without OS and sort out all those things yourself. It's still a laptop with all that entails, but everything that was reasonable to make configurable or swappable -- they did it.

What is true instead is that people are forced into subscriptions because one-time purchases are just not offered anymore.

Weird. I'm (probably) ADHD spectrum. (I've never been properly diagnosed, but its all very familiar).

I love puzzles though. They're short, they have a right and wrong answer. Optimization problems are especially satisfying because you can get a score, and improve on it over time when you come up with clever ideas.

I've never done any problems on leetcode, but thats absolutely my wheelhouse and I love that stuff. A few weeks ago I invented a new String (Rope[1]) class by combining skip lists and gap buffers. I don't know if anyone else has ever done that before. Its 3x faster than the next fastest library I could find. There's probably an academic paper in that, but that sounds really boring.

Maybe its useful for other people, but I think if you said "leetcode is a training process" to me, that'd make it more boring. For me the fun part is finding those puzzles in regular code. ("Sure this algorithm is simple but its n^2. I wonder if there's an O(n log n) approach out there somewhere..?")

> It's ridiculous to assume that there's even some intrinsic "racial hierarchy" to begin with

Yea, it is ridiculous to assume that there is an intrinsic racial hierarchy. That doesn't mean that that US doesn't have one though. If you need evidence, just look at incarceration rates, police shooting rates, property ownership rates, intergenerational wealth, representation in government, hiring disparities, educational disparities, medical treatment disparities, etc. There are clear disparities that break down along racial lines, and from the numbers it looks like african americans and native americans are at the bottom.

> despite what twitter says that's largely not due to any deeply rooted systemic issue

Who needs to consult twitter to know about the US's history of racial oppression targeted at black people, and its lingering intergenerational effects?

* Redlining: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlining
* GI Bill restrictions for black soldiers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Bill
* Block busting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockbusting
* Racially based deed restrictions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covenant_(law)#:~:text=In%20th....

And then you can get into things like urban renewal of the fifties, sixties, and seventies. Frequently the "renewed" areas were thriving black neighborhoods. And then the US, as a country, ignores that these things happened.

It's really comforting to imagine that today's problems aren't a result of things in the past that our ancestors (or even just parents) were complicit in, but that isn't the world we live in.

Just because a kid was programming with bundles interpreted BASIC and POKEing machine code into RAM in 1987 doesn't mean that professionals were.

Unlike the earlier 6502 and z80 machines, the COCO's 6809 CPU was a perfectly fine compilation target for C or Pascal. I never had a COCO so I don't know what was actually available for it, but some friends and I wrote a BCPL back end for 6809 in 1984, for a wire-wrap 2 MHz computer we'd designed ourselves.

People using big computers were of course using compiled languages earlier. I was using a native Pascal compiler for the PDP-11 in 1981. But the end of BASIC on microcomputers started in 1984 with the release of the amazing Turbo Pascal 1.0 for CP/M and MS-DOS for $49.95. There had been compilers for the PC before this but they were huge, slow, and cost $500+. The similar in concept Lightspeed Pascal and C for the Mac arrived in 1986.

By 1987 I was programming in optimised Pascal compiled to m68k machine code on a machine with a 16 MHz full 32 bit CPU (with FPU) and 4 MB RAM. I had a Unixy command line (MPW), proper debuggers, could link with assembly language etc etc.

I'd already been reading about C++ and in late 1988 bought the Zortech C++ compiler to experiment with (in a DOS emulator). Apple had their own C++ for MPW a few months later.

Even Perl, which he uses as the example of modern programming, first appeared in 1988.

Really, the programming language landscape has changed little since 1987.

The main difference is just the capacity and speed of computers, and the rise of the open source Linux OS and much more recently the open source RISC-V instruction set (we haven't seen the full impact yet).

Apple has kept the M1 Macs open for other operating systems, which is why a project like Asahi Linux can exist: https://asahilinux.org

Apple doesn't provide Linux drivers for their components, but neither does "anyone else", sadly.

But it means that Linux on M1 Macs might actually happen in the near future.

Edit: And Windows doesn't run natively/officially on M1 Macs because Microsoft has a stupid exclusivity deal: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/11/22/microsoft-qualcomm-arm-...
Agreed, but that is why I'm ... basically complaining, I suppose. Feynman's reputation was never "dude who comes up with lots of solutions". Invoking Feynman is for when:

* There is a difference between the name of the thing and what it does (very much his style).

* When bureaucracy is disconnected from physical reality (alluding to the Challenger incident).

* When a blisteringly intelligent person can just get it right by thinking from first principles (dude was wicked smart).

Which is why the original article cited [0] worked so well. Feynman's name was being invoked for someone who immediately and insightfully tore the pro-forma question apart as having a faulty premise where the name of the thing didn't imply it was round. It is still words in his mouth, but that is on character for Feynman stereotypes.

Throwing out lots of ideas that don't quite work isn't really a good time to invoke the name.

I kinda agree that long term harms are overstated. I will even add they are overstated for ideological reasons.

> Plus you only need to look at history, and probably within your own family to find a few examples, of generations of children who are educated throughout hard truths and stressful times like war or famine and go on to be alright.

But, this is not true. If you look at generations that grew in hard times, they were doing worst. Generations that grew in war are more violent then peace generations. They have more mental health issues, drink more and so on. Famines have long term impact too. There were even studies about Holocaust survivors - even their children have more anxieties and similar mental health issues. The even affected parenting and communication of survivors enough to change children.

Education achievements now are better then they were in those generations.
For me, the point is not constant active monitoring but being able to see when some application runs away with my system resources.

At a glance network monitoring is also very handy — I can check if an application is absolutely chewing through data (or quietly not actually doing anything at all), which is quite useful for metered connections.
And we also need to remember that, after 12 hours of work, you are no longer the sharper tool in the box.

AIUI in US competition law price is the only consideration, so this is smart. It will hinge on whether or not Apple had any concrete plans to build a search engine, and if their abandonment of it can be linked to the deal with Google.
