No, what I mean is that people who went to college share a similar socialization process. I'm not talking about networking, I'm talking about culture. It's the same as people who went to high school versus people who were home schooled.

Everything from bonding (or not) with your roommate, to going out late at night with your hallmates, to meeting boys/girls and dealing with the strange dramas that ensue, your first off campus party, cramming in the libraries at 4am for exams, hanging out in the [insert major] lounge and complaining about your professors, tailgating at football games... just all the little incidental things that are part of college life. People who went through college can automatically bond over their separate experiences of these things.
Appreciate the kind words! :)
I didn't understand how they avoid downtime during the upgrade - they start with "Stop traffic to the database cluster" and then perform a bunch of steps that each take 5-10 minutes or longer before starting traffic again - so do they just accept the downtime and schedule it in advance, or did I miss a detail?
I had my car stolen once. A cop came, prowled the neighborhood, and found it. I got it back. (They never found the thief, though.)

I know of two incidents where children I knew got lost, and the cops found them and brought them home.

They've done wellness checks for me on aged relatives.

They've given me speeding tickets, too, but I deserved them :-)

I can see that you can get a lot of things wrong with a bastion host, but if implemented sensibly, it should just be one more layer of a defense-in-depth strategy. What would you recommend instead of a bastion host?
Thanks - that echoes a lot of what I'd been quietly suspecting.

I just didn't have heart to raise the issue with the resident 'DevOps Evangelist' a certain place I worked at recently.
Brilliant comment if you talking about the country that sends troops around the world to protect itself.
GPS satellite designers already have to account for clock skew due to relativistic effects. A nice little real world confirmation of the theory.

Executives from tech companies aren't usually just random MBAs -- they're often deeply technical people who ran engineering teams with huge impact.

Besides, they're not having a pair-coding session to ship a release to fix Log4J -- they're talking about a coordinated effort to prevent future vulns. Obviously engineering knowledge is necessary but the coordination aspect involves org-wide and industry-wide changes.

I did watch both those videos, and they were excellent! Well, Elon's parts were excellent. I still found the questions to be more on the fanboi side than the engineering side, and that's okay. It's his brand, he can do what he likes.

I prefer Scott Manley's approach to things, and so I watch him instead. And when he says that EverydayAstronaut has a great video, I go watch it :)
I'm on the same boat: haven't bought AAA in years but am happy to spend thousands of dollars on indies. It's not just that AAA companies are awful, but the games they've been making are the same old stuff from 15 years ago. Sometimes lacking even the most basic polish.
A positive personal story: I rear ended somebody a few years ago. It was at a right hand turn into a protected lane, so there was no reason for them to stop. I saw them start to go, then saw a kid running in the crosswalk and looked away. My car slowly rolled into their car until there was a minor collision. We both pulled over, but before getting out of the car the other driver opened the glove box and threw the contents everywhere and then got out clutching his head, saying, "oh my head, it hurts the collision was so violent". I called the cops and after a fairly short delay an officer came over and took a look.

The officer explained to the man that, as somebody trained in collision assessment, the damage to their vehicle indicated a less than 5 mph collision and that does not substantiate any physical damage to their person. I received a note from the officer with badge number and name should I need to contact her in the future.

After explaining this to the insurance company I never heard from them again.
The amounts are in US dollars, so any local hyperinflation won't matter. Your local currency will be worth far fewer dollars.

I didn't see if it says how to convert, as there are often multiple exchange rates, e.g., an official one that can't actually be used, a underground/black market one, and purchasing-power parity (PPP). I don't think use outside the rich, developed nations has really been considered.
I think it would be neat if you could get bonus points for multiple clicks within the same arc. So like if you click right when the ball enters the arc, and there's sufficient distance left before the end of the arc, you could click again (multiple times, quickly) and get bonus points until the ball reaches the end of the arc, at which point a new arc would be generated as usual. I just think it would be fun to line up a long arc and mash the space bar for a bit.
Yes, but this almost seems intentionally genius at the same time.
c'mon don't be so flippant. They are responsible for settling conflict in society and conflict is one of the hardest human problems to solve. The answer is clearly: "it depends" and making out they're all useless (e.g. ACAB) or they're all amazing (blue lives matter) is simplistic drivel.

Well, it won't surprise you that I live a little south of you. But even in Denver try telling people that your daughter is double majoring in history and classics- the looks I get mostly range from "she's crazy" to "you're an idiot for letting her do that". Nevermind that her 'hyper expensive education' will cost less than their dually F-250...

In fairness, the study was retracted not due to the data but because "The European Respiratory Society, as a leading medical organisation in the respiratory field whose mission is to promote lung health and alleviate suffering from respiratory disease, has bylaws in place that do not permit individuals with ongoing relationships with the tobacco industry to participate in its activities" and in other situations, "The journal editors acknowledge that COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines state that failure to disclose a potential conflict of interest is not normally sufficient grounds for retraction of a published article."

I understand the journal's actions but I'd hesitate to say the study is wrong or has been retracted for anything beyond politics.

In most cases companies can't magically make the work that need done more interesting, so the only thing they can do "easily" is to pay their employees more.

That strategy might work for some employees and not others.

And TBH, while work in FAANGs may not on average be more interesting than the most interesting startups out there, the kind of jobs vary wildly with smaller companies. It might be something that changes the world, or you may end up writing a CRUD app.

So the compensation level is actually a kind of bad-but-still-useful proxy for the quality of the work expected, at least it sets the lower limit. And of course, FAANG products do make significant impact (although not always positive). As long as you're OK with being a cog in a LARGE wheel. Not necessarily for everyone, but some people are fine and find fulfillment in that.

But why not just quit working for a salary altogether and pursue your "dreams"? I guess it turns out many people are not very imaginative with what they want to do with their lives and don't mind clutching onto their job even if money is not a big factor.
This has always been a great business idea. Watch good foreign films and spin them into Americanized versions then pitch them to Hollywood.

It’s interesting because universities over-produce academics for the number of tenure-track jobs available, so they then hire those phds back into adjunct positions, which is often the only academic job available to them, especially if they don’t want to move across the country to some small college in the middle of nowhere. So many phds just suck it up and take the adjunct jobs teaching undergrads. Actual professors at research universities aren’t really even doing teaching as their primary job. Their primary job is to do research and publish, which is how they progress in their career. But universities need people to teach so they hire adjuncts to teach undergrads, especially the entry level courses.

In regards to admin costs, just look at UC Berkeley, they now have a $25 million dollar diversity department that hires nearly a hundred staff, all making over $50k and getting access to the pension system. Lots of people will say departments like this are a good thing, but there’s no question these departments cost a lot of money and inflate administrative costs. Berkeley has 1 staff member for every 2 students at this point.

Look at this: “ Establishment of a Supplier Diversity Program at an institution is required when an organization is receiving federal funding for contracts or subcontracts as dictated by the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FARS). The delegation of authority to manage the program is issued through the Office of the President (UCOP) policy.” Talk about regulation causing bloat, to take federal contracts you need to establish an office that tracks and reports the diversity of your contractors. No wonder costs have skyrocketed.

What is unique about "DSA style problems" that makes it that only through them you can see if they stuck with the problem, asked meaningful questions, etc.?

Why not ask them real questions about the real sorts of things they're going to do, and through those see if they stuck with the problem, asked meaningful questions, etc.?

DSA problems don't bring anything to the table here, because it's trivial to substitute them with something meaningful. I'd even go so far as to say that we work bizarrely hard at asking uselessly inappropriate questions. It is easier to ask questions related to the real job.
Mind sharing which one?
I've seen this kind of comment before about his presentation, and I don't really understand it. It's true that he's a fanboy and that's especially visible in his video interviews/visits with Elon Musk, but the style of those videos is markedly different from the more educational ones which are often trying to cover a topic with a lot of detail while remaining relatively accessible.

I watched the video version of the article linked here this morning, and don't recall any part that was fawning over anyone or anything in particular.

What is it about his presentation that puts you off?
None of that is handled by the window manager though, right?
I once saw in a developing country with no reliable police this sign: "Thief found, thief hanged". I asked the person driving me around and he said "yeah, they mean it".
So I think in your experiment the people who would suffer most would be the real criminals. I don't think there would be much more crime, perhaps even less. Justice and Police systems are there not to prevent crime, but to prevent the people to turn into lynch mobs, which tend to be very unreliable.

> All the MAANG companies use algorithmic and system design style questions as their main metric for hiring candidates. The internal justification for doing so is likely a combination of “this is what everyone else does” and “it’s a quick way to evaluate someone’s skill”.

They argue that this is the only way to weed out all these candidates. It is MAANG's version of the SAT.

> the best solution is to have trial work periods. There’s no better way to see how someone performs at the job than having them actually do the job.

Agreed. But how do they implement this?

Ukraine's defense is about helping people who are being actively invaded by bigger foreign powers. Of course it doesn't directly benefit you. By your logic, donating to charity "does approximately jack shit to benefit a person like me."

Also the US has done literally nothing to "provocate" anything. Euromaidan happened in 2014, Crimea was annexed, and Donbass separatists supported by Russia. Status quo is changing in favor of Ukraine being able to secure it's separatist territory again, so now it's time for Russia to further invade.

>I've done enough work in data collection and stats to know that generalized statistics are almost always associated with false conclusions that avoid context of their data.

There's no context that changes this. Private loans make up less than 8% of all student debt. There are numerous sources available. This isn't in dispute by anyone (except maybe yourself).

Given that fact, the only way your premise, that the vast majority of students take private loans, can be true is if most students take very very small private loans of less than a few thousand dollars.

And even that is demonstrably false. Because we have data that clearly shows that the vast majority of students don't take private loans.

https://research.collegeboard.org/pdf/trends-student-aid-201...

>...that scholarships are rare...

More than 75% of full time students receive at least 1 scholarship or grant. Most of them aren't enough to cover the full tuition much less room and board, but they aren't rare.

And in many states have large scholarship programs as I've mentioned where tens of thousands of students in the state get that scholarship.

>The evidence I have readily available concludes...

Confirmation bias is something to watch out for. There's no evidence outside of your personal experience to support the conclusion that "the vast majority of students take private loans."
From a defense standpoint, one should consider "shell on a box" to usually mean attackers can get root on a box. If they can get persistence, they can wait for a kernel CVE to abuse.

Now, if you're just using a bastion as a jump host, you don't need to offer shells on it. Just allow people to proxy a port to behind the bastion and be done with it.

- The work sucks because existing employees don't know DSA's

- We want people to re-implement and refactor with better DSA's

- We want to know the candidate studied for the interview (took it seriously)

- We actually do want them to know DSA's when joining the team

- It's the least you can do when applying for a CS job

It's important to realize the 11% statistic is a statistic that includes non-consensual ass-grabbing in the same bucket with forcible rape, which isn't informative for most purposes and I can only imagine wasn't done in good faith.

Here is from that report, things that constitute "sexual assault":

"Sexual attack: Forcing or attempted forcing into any unwanted sexual activity, by threatening, holding down, or hurting in some way;
Unwanted sexual touching: Touching against a person’s will in any sexual way, including unwanted touching or grabbing, kissing, or fondling;
Sexual activity where unable to consent: Subjecting to a sexual activity to which a person was not able to consent, including being intoxicated, drugged, manipulated, or forced in ways other than physically;
Sexual activity to which a person did not consent, after they consented to another form of sexual activity (for example, agreeing to protected sex and then learning it had been unprotected sex)."

Those things constitute 11% sexual assault number you cite. It's important to realize that "sexual assault" to most people means rape and things that are pretty close to rape, so that's how they'll interpret the 11% number, but the criteria include "Touching against a person’s will in any sexual way, including unwanted touching or grabbing, kissing, or fondling;" and I don't see a breakdown by type. I would imagine that the vast majority of positive reports were in the non-consensual touching bucket. So we're looking at a statistic that includes non-consensual ass-grabbing in the same bucket with forcible rape. I guess I've been sexually assaulted numerous times.

Don't take this to trivialize bad experiences people have had, take it as an attack on shoddy methods that are clearly designed to stoke fires of indignation rather than shed light on a prickly topic.

>Given that last stat...
I don't think you're interpreting this correctly.
I was wondering about this. That is a problem given that it seems the whole point of the study was to control for other factors to ensure that the trauma reported wasn't the result of something else - like more vulnerable or victimized women being more likely to suffer sexual abuse.

Not sure what to make of it. I think earlier onset of puberty is one effect that likely wasn't falsely reported. I'm not sure about the others.

I'd be nice if we could have a study that controls for reporting bias, but I wonder if research ethics would allow it - espically when working with young children.
> And we also can put a lot of blame on our vaunted universities. How many communist revolutionaries have been produced by radical tenured professors. I’d say most.

Oh yeah, communist revolutionaries are a big problem in the United States right now. /s Or maybe you're saying "communist" when you really mean "Democrat"? The real problem is Y'all Qaeda and Christian Reconstructionists trying to bring an end to our system of government.
Can you provide some examples? Not doubting you, but some references would be useful.
One month it's "too much student debt...blah, blah, blah" the next month it's "a significant number of student-aged people are no longer willing invest in something that results in too much debt and not enough return."

It can't be both ways. Unless of course you're the Higher Edu Industrial Complex and you know NPR and their ilk have no memory and no integrity.

Yes, there's some concern. There always is. But that doesn't make shamelessly crafting two opposing narratives.
>Putin doesn't want to lose power. All these propaganda, military moves are to give poor people something to take their eyes and minds off the reality - him robbing the country for 30 years. If you have absolute power for long time you know what happens.

I dont see this as the answer. If it's really power, march to Kyiv and take it all. They could do it. Crimea is more or less the only annexation because that's all they want.

Even the syrian conflict and russia is the same story. They are really just preserving their military base.

So just on the other side of Turkey they have military base as well they are preserving. You also have: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Russian_Sukhoi_Su-24_shoo...

Then also look at Turkey's financial woes and it sure does look like Russia doing it.

Turkey seems to understand this and has been making diplomatic efforts to repair relations. The irony is that it seems they are coming back together more recently because they hate the USA.

The Rust compiler is both dog-slow and massive (both from a source and binaries perspective), and doesn't have a working incremental compilation mode yet, or support in-process hot-patching. There's no Rust REPL (hacks like papyrus don't count). Poor structural editing support. Integration with various editors/IDEs is lacking (e.g. there's no support for reporting possible performance issues with code constructs in any editor that I'm aware of, nor is there in-editor per-function disassembly or LLVM IR inspection, or borrow-checker lifetime annotation, no extract-function refactoring).

Cargo being good is necessary, but not sufficient.
The funny thing is they did this to themselves. Consumers were perfectly happy with their regular HiFi stuff and records. But the recording companies and the big hardware manufacturers (notably: Philips, Sony, both owners of enormous music catalogs) would love to sell everybody an upgraded HiFi system and get them to buy all their music again. In a format so dense that no computer would ever be able to store that much information on a writable medium so pushing large numbers of lossless copies of music into the world was a no brainer. We all know how that ended.
> You simply can't pay 100 people a salary and stay under $1M. Maybe 12 people, or $10M would be a better balance.

As someone from a third-world country, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I suspect that other than the hyper-inflated salaries in silicon valley, these metrics will be more than fair everywhere else.
I don't get to meet people who dislike Rust very often. Why don't you like it?
