Unfortunately, the CMS mandate was allowed to take effect (though litigation on that one continues). I guess we'll find out if the plaintiff's argument that this would devastate rural hospitals (that are already short-staffed and have trouble attracting employees) comes to fruition or not.
I agree with your thesis, and I dislike the direction the gaming industry at large is taking.

At the same time, it's hard to see where lines are drawn. The only thing that really separates 'Engagement' from 'grinding' is whether or not you enjoy doing it.

While I take a lot of time in considering what games are worth my time, and have a positive "feedback loop" that will leave me feeling satisfied rather than burnt out, I also have to ask myself what "genuine play" really does mean. We can point out the behavioural strategies devs use for reinforcing more play-time, but outside of the question of perverse incentives like NFT's, paid lootboxes and pay2win microtransactions, a game needs to feel rewarding in order to be played. Some just have this reward cycle more ouvert than others.
> software development is not data structures and algorithms.

Software development is almost entirely about understanding what others want and then translating them into Data structures and algorithms. Author could have meant software development is not about implementing already implemented data structures and algorithms. imo better questions would have a candidate using the DSAs than implementing them. eg: questions that require them to use binary search, bitsets etc
> Some of us might argue that you have to do that anyway, for any software you write.

Yes, but if your software is another implementation of an existing language, the burden is an order of magnitude smaller because almost all of the existing docs for that language apply to your implementation too.

> On the other hand, the last three points are really not requirements unless you are creating a general purpose language and have a large audience.

Even if you have a small audience, if you want them to be productive, they need good tools and resources. Part of the reason why it's hard for DSLs to be effective is that most of the resources get amortized across all users. When you have a small audience, you can't justify building all these tools and docs, but the users still need them and their productivity suffers in the absence.

If your audience is too small, I think it often just doesn't make sense in terms of cost to make a language for them. You're usually better off using an existing language that already has those resources you can leverage.
Ha! That's what I get for using a search engine and not checking closely enough what it sends me to. But the difference between either one and NYC, is larger than the difference in policy.

More importantly, perhaps, the peaks (for NYC, Austin, or most other places) occurred in either the heat of the summer, or the depths of winter. If you compare the deaths in SF to the deaths in other cities when the weather was similar, you don't see much difference.
I thought this was quite a cool puzzle idea, although the mechanics of how it works are not completely clear. What exactly does it mean to repeat "the last M lines of output, starting N lines from the end."? Are they the last M, or are they starting N lines from the end?

I have a solution, but I arrived at it by trial and error rather than reason:

repeat 3 2
print 2
repeat 3 2
print 2
repeat 3 2
This terminology ("with") has been used problematically in the past including calling into question covid death numbers. Including a commonly repeated line of: "All deaths right now are accounted to covid because everyone has covid." and then downplaying the severity of what is going on. We should be more clear about the use of language when stating things like this because, frankly, the words we use matter. This post in particular does not explain what the goal of your statement is.

I looked at a few of these and funny enough it calls out that covid is still partially responsible for the excess deaths, just not directly: i.e. full ICU beds, lack of care due to covid healthcare stresses, and other indirect causes. There are other excess death causes right now including drug epidemics but we should not attempt to downplay that a large amount of the excess deaths are directly accountable to the covid situation.

Sorry, I should have been a little more careful with my wording. You are correct in that there isn't a direct quoted link. But, Netflix raised subscription prices to pay for more content...obviously paying 250 million to Apple (for basically nothing?) doesn't help their balance sheet.

I guess not everyone would look at it this way, but from a big picture standpoint it all adds up to the bottom line.
Bingo. Smart people understand the domain of interview questions (which we know is contrived) and typically can study enough to implement the solutions. It's not always about getting the question right- it's about demonstrating you are smart, but also these questions are core CS fundementals so it also tests that they have a formal education. Anyone can learn Git, JS, but how many can apply a programming language to a complex problem on the spot?

Sorry, this isn't really an important point, but I found it quite implausible so I checked. Hadrian ruled until 165 years after the founding of Rome. It continued for another 257 years.

True, and you might be interested in Peter Turchin's "Ages of Discord" for a more in-depth investigation into how and why that happens.
Iran uses comprehensive standardized exams to sort university admissions (the population of the test takers vary between 100k and 600k), but pretty much anyone with a STEM high-school degree can get admitted to some university. The worst universities are for-profits (still pretty cheap though, except a few very good programs in state universities that admit a few people by money), and they basically give you a degree for giving them your money and showing up on classes. Since the universities get a more homogeneous level of talent, the standards they set is compatible with what most of their students can achieve, hence the high graduation rates.

Another factor is that people take life more seriously in Iran (based on my very limited data on non-urban Iranians, and the US). There is virtually no social bubble that does not think degrees are important. “Engineer” is used as a general title of prestige, used as an umbrella term for anyone rich who is not a medical doctor.
For most of us from outside the movies books like "The Devil's Candy" (about Brian DePalma's making of "Bonfire of the Vanities") also have a great insight into this.

It really is insane how much work and care goes into these movies (even the bad ones).
It's about control. As a user agent, youtube-dl acts in our behalf in order to do what we want and protect our interests. That's why they hate it. It's the antithesis of everything they want: something that acts on their behalf, does what they want and protects their interests.

If something gives us any power at all, they'll sue it into oblivion.
About 10 years ago, I worked on a large, multi team (multi-org really) project that was run using TOC (Theory Of Constraints). Put very very very simply, every team was told to give honest, buffer-less estimates for their primary work areas, and then a global project buffer was added as a factor of the sum of estimates.
At any point in time, we worked as if every single thing would line up perfectly, so upcoming milestone targets would often feel crazy or unlikely. But people being eager to please, and mostly unwillingness to be the one team blocking the entire project - meant that folks worked hard to meet some of these targets.
It was extremely hard. It was a bit stressful. It felt crazy at times. But it got done in half the time I would have initially expected such a complex project to take.
To me, the most impressive thing about it all was that the project leader drove us all quite hard but was super cool - he explained that he wanted everyone to be open and honest about blockers so they could be moved with the full force he was given, and that actually, his way of measuring project progress was the rate at which schedules slipped.

The text of the law reads:

> All persons within the jurisdiction of this state are free and equal, and no matter what their sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, citizenship, primary language, or immigration status are entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges, or services in all business establishments of every kind whatsoever.

The important part is "All persons ... are free and equal ... and are entitled to ... equal accommodations".

When you read it this way (which is how the courts read the law), the list is just illustrating some classes that might be discriminated against. It does not limit the classes merely to those listed.
Depends on your definition of "interesting". If you mean do people still use them for practical purposes, then yes they are. If you mean are people still researching them for use in exploring space, then probably not.

Exposure in this context means “the right to set up your stall in Apple’s market and sell to their customers.”
It might have been more precise to say “reach” but at the end it’s semantics.

You not paying for “publicity” in a marketing sense you’re paying for high-value shelf space in a store that brings in a lot of customers — iOS devices.

Google(search) and YouTube Ads rely on content you're being served to actually target ads, that's much more relevant and drives higher click-though rates.

Unless someone can find a way to make grinding in games produce a tangible benefit, all this will wind up being is a giant scam. If you're getting paid to perform useless tasks, whatever they are, someone is going to be left holding a bag.
Even if you're just on camera for some documentary thing, the amount of fussing with lights, sound, multiple camera angles etc. is significant. The reality is that you can probably get most of the way there these days with significantly cheaper gear and most people wouldn't know the difference if the people using the gear were competent. But it's still impressive what goes into just a basic corporate talking head.

(Of course, a lot of people who go into shooting video for jobs like this are often into gear and financing their hobby. And even if showing up for the shoot with just an iPhone produces good results, you probably shouldn't expect a followup job.)

There's a whole lot of the Southwestern US you are agreeing that Mexico can and should invade and occupy, with a much stronger case, if you claim that this justifies Russia in Crimea.

Please tell this to many thousands of people who moved out and never looked back. Also, hundreds of Crimean Tatar and various active citizens were imprisoned during these years.

I don't remember the details but it's actually just as easy. They're called unequal hours, Babylonian hours or Italic hours.

More precisely the difference between two sunrises or two sunsets was 24 hours, so the hours were longer in winter and spring as days get longer, and shorter in summer and fall as days get shorter.
We kind of have this problem with Taiwan right now (and China is definitely taking advantage of it) because we've been on the Arleigh Burkes Destroyers for far too long.

China has newer ships with more stealth and firepower than our set of older Destroyers. Fortunately, China has very few capital ships, but the huge mass of smaller ships (Destroyers, Frigates, Corvettes) that China is building is already outnumbering the US Navy.
I recall that in France and Italy, tuition wasn't free, but it was on the order of ~200-300 euros per year. STEM degree tuition cost more since those students had more expensive facilities like laboratories.

The irony is that the reason why authors claim when they remove theming is to have a consistent look.

It’s definitely a sliding-scale, not a binary. But I still think there’s such thing as enjoyment that ultimately leaves you unhappy or worse-off emotionally than you were before, even though it’s hard to define when it doesn’t manifest in something concrete like finances.

Fair question. We are still operating in the real world. US has an obesity epidemic and that should be fixed, that doesn't prevent the real-world death and healthcare stresses that we are seeing and will be many years of work before the obesity epidemic is tackled. We have to operate in the world we live in with the precautions we take.

We can't just blanket say: "Well you all are obese, so we aren't going to do anything" and instead are trying to do something that might help millions more not die. I have a lot of reservations about many of the tactics, but at the same time the answer is not "do nothing" (which I don't think you are recommending, but is the recommendation of some that repeat these talking points).

I would be really interested to know why "caring too much" is a disqualification.
> Genuine question: Don't you re-watch your favourite movies and TV shows? Why would YouTube be any different?

Very rarely. Even more rarely do I re-watch movies less than a month later, but that doesn't stop Youtube from recommending things I watched the day prior.

If I got recommended something I watched a year ago, sure. But what youtube frequently does is just recommend all of the videos I watched the day prior.

I would be less annoyed if this wasn't such a recent development. Youtube recommendations used to be fantastic for me ~5 years ago. I would actually get recommended stuff I haven't watched, from creators I didn't know about, on topics that I have shown interest in. Now I mostly just get the same videos I have already watched or nearly the same video uploaded by another channel. Or I'll watch a single 15 second video about something I normally don't watch, and suddenly half of my recommendations are about that.

Because the Minitel was completely vertivally integrated.

The terminals, software it ran (as the "OS"), Network and billing were all handled by one entity. And only this entity could approve software for distribution. It was a completely centralized walled garden.

Office, Netflix, Youtube Premium, Spotify, Blackblaze can all run anywhere, and on platforms such as Windows are free to do their own distribution.

Turning away a very high aptitude person would happen at a lot of jobs. Nobody wants to train someone and they leave relativity shortly after because the work easily bores them and they have many other options. Police training takes time and money, you are not patrolling the streets day 1.

It's unfortunate that just bringing up Jesus can cause the discussion to go off into the weeds like this, but FWIW I don't think GP can be blamed for that. I think their comment was relevant (the main reason Milton would have even had to argue for divorce was because of the way Jesus' words were interpreted by the powers that be at the time) and respectful (lots of people are unrealistically idealistic when younger, and develop more complex views after being exposed to more life experience). I think it would be a shame to prune off relevant points just because other people are prone to start flamewars in response.

Somewhat surprisingly, it's actually easier to get good-looking footage on an iPhone than say a mid-level mirrorless camera. The iPhone has better built-in stabilisation and handles high dynamic range more conveniently (built-in tone mapping and HDR capture by taking multiple real captures per video frame).
Taking full advantage of a "proper" camera takes additional equipment (tripod/gimbal / lights / microphones / decent lenses).

Although once you're getting into "proper" cameras, you're probably also talking about at least a tripod, maybe steadicam, at that point. But, yes, once you're at 4K, I'd definitely be thinking about other ways to move to the next level than higher resolution.
