I’m sure that article is not making the point you think it is. In fact the editor seems to have missed the point with the title as well.

> What has not been reported as much is that the number of authorized sworn officers has remained unchanged. What we voted on last Tuesday is a more aggressive push to fill 60 budgeted vacant police officer positions that we had already approved in June that are not yet filled because our academy system is failing.

The rest of the paragraph explains how certain groups are using this concept of defunding the police to stoke fear in people like you. Incredibly ironic.
It's called culture and large groups of humans are known to experience it.
All of these things are illegal for good reason, they harm people.

But, the argument is simple:
In all these cases businesses do something illegal and therefore either need to be stopped, or stop existing.

People who use this tech are criminals, and everyone knows it. Everyone has known it, even in the US. Look at how many people use ad blockers and anti tracking scripts. It is time to stop allowing literal criminals at tech companies to repeatedly break the law and face no consequences whatsoever.

It has been going on for years, and it needs to be fought just like any of the other horrible things.
I assume this is to peer pressure and other dynamics at this point. The benefit for young people is nearly not quantifiable.
It doesn't have to be the lock that's secured. What about a hinge mechanism which takes a programmable amount of time to open the container door? If it takes 10 minutes for the door to open, the lock doesn't matter as much, since the thieves have a very limited amount of time before the trains start moving again, apparently.
I can see that, yeah. I imagine them, after all the adrenaline dies down, sitting around the fire, swapping stories and bartering —- “two epi pens for that golf club?”. Some staring into the distance, wondering about their life choices after ending up with four

I thought straps were welded to avoid making potentially leaking punctures by stapling or sewing. I don't understand this issue of hair snags. I have hair, and either my elastic straps don't snag on it, or they snag and I don't notice it as a problem. I'll try to get some 3m masks and check out this special fabric but if it's like the fabric on headlamp straps, it doesn't seem that expensive and it doesn't seem like that big an improvement over fabric.

As for the serial numbers: hmm, maybe that could help, but if each number is unique and 1/10th of them actually get checked, then the counterfeiter can just copy a bunch of unique ones and go undetected 99% of the time. (1/10th of the good masks and 1/10th of the counterfeits would be checked, and a detected duplicate would have to be in the intersection of those two sets). In fact if good masks come from known and trusted suppliers, they're even less likely to be checked, so more of the counterfeits can get through.

What we really need is an affordable way to test masks at home. It doesn't have to be super precise. A green-yellow-red led for good-marginal-bad would be fine.

> Not to split hairs - but it does seem to be a peculiar choice of words, there.

Perhaps not; I think the "publicly viewable" part is going to the sticking point, most of the time. Most people don't have significant/impressive side projects that they can show off to prospective employers, their work is at prior companies.

Anyway, I can see why DSA interviews are popular. IIRC studies show IQ tests and work sample tests are two of the most effective interviewing techniques, and algorithmic whiteboard coding splits the difference between the two, and does so in a way that's relatively platform/stack-agnostic. Especially useful since IQ tests themselves are of dubious legality.

> "This medicine produces X effect in Y% of the experimental group with Z p-value" is absolutely testable and falsifiable.

Correct. It is, up to a range. If I replicate the experiment I'll have a different Y% which might be a slight difference or not.

But since it's not 100%, your theory about that experiment has been falsified.

It's easy to talk about falsifiability giving examples about black swans but that's a naive view in terms of results which are not clear yes/no answers and where multiple variables interact.

> why aren't more companies shunning LeetCode problems

Because its easier than talking to candidates and because many companies emulate FAANG, regardless of wheter that makes sense or not. If I am that big a deal, I NEED a system to filter, because I will always have a surplus of applicants, no matter what the market looks like. If I am a small company, or even a medium sized shop that has difficulty filling positions anyway, then doing the same doesn't make sense.

Not because my standards are lower, but the amount of applications I get are. Same as I don't build a webservices architecture to handle 10E6 req./h when it will serve less than a 1000, it doesn't make sense to apply methods designed for "hiring at scale" if I am not operating at that scale.

> What is a better solution?

Checking credentials, talking to people, about their past work, about how they would tackle example problems in the real world, their view on solutions.

aka. doing actual interviews instead of taking the easy route and just reading a puzzle question from a sheet of paper and waiting behind them with a stopwatch.

If I want competent people, I need to do competent hiring.

I just like writing native apps. I always have. I’ve been doing it for a long time. I liken it to an impressionistic-style oil painter, in this age of photorealistic 3D artwork. The 3D work is amazing, and often takes even more effort than the oil painting, but they feel different, to make, and result in unquantifiable, visceral, differences to the viewers. Some will prefer the 3D work; others will prefer the oil painting.

Not all Apple programming has been done by the use of Apple tools. There was a significant stretch of time, when Metrowerks CodeWarrior/C++/PowerPlant was the tool of choice for serious Apple development.

We’ll see what the future brings. I’ve stuck with native Apple, through many, many dead pool sessions. Being a long-term native Apple developer means that I’ve been hearing insults, and looking up noses, for a very long time.

I am glad that I am not really competing with anyone. It’s very freeing, to be an oil painter. For me, the medium is important. I like to feel as if I can produce work that will make its users happy. It makes me happy.
We do, but it doesn't cover most modern devices.

From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_copying_levy:

>17 U.S.C. § 1008 bars copyright infringement action and 17 U.S.C. § 1003 provides for a royalty of 2% of the initial transfer price for devices and 3% for media.[20] The royalty rate in 17 U.S.C. § 1004 was established by the Fairness in Music Licensing Act of 1998. This only applies to CDs which are labeled and sold for music use; they do not apply to blank computer CDs, even though they can be (and often are) used to record or "burn" music from the computer to CD. The royalty also applies to stand-alone CD recorders, but not to CD burners used with computers. Most recently, portable satellite radio recording devices contribute to this royalty fund.

>Thanks to a precedent established in a 1998 lawsuit involving the Rio PMP300 player, most MP3 players are deemed "computer peripherals" and are not subject to a royalty of this type in the U.S.

>Currently, private copy royalties are generated in the US by the sale of "blank CDs and personal audio devices, media centers, satellite radio devices, and car audio systems that have recording capabilities."[21]

> Are we going to say that any sort of spiritual practice (which can be seen as form of unscientific therapy that can provide value to people) is "post-theory science"?

Are we going to say that a thousand year old medicine which did not understand placebo effects is "post-theory science"?

Are we going to say that when people meditate to understand how they feel, and then they can't accurately explain the biochemical processes is "post-theory science"?

I mean, we kinda do - in the sense that, yes, there is a lot of knowledge about actually effective medicine in those, but a lot less why particular remedies work and why others don't work.

This can easily lead to "cargo cult" like behaviour, where all you can do is blindly repeat certain rituals and hope they work, but you cannot really refine your methods or develop new methods.

(Actually, that's not quite correct. A lot of pre-modern science absolutely tried to develop theories and models behind their observation - as even the original "cargo cult" did - but those were wrong and didn't allow predictions)

> It’s always small things like keyboard shortcuts, focus behaviour, placement of controls, but it’s all one more roadblock to using the computer.

Let me check something... I open "Terminal.app" and what is this? I can't move around my cursor with my keybindings that I use in Sublime and VSCode (Cmd + Arrow to jump to start or end of line). Why do I quit a session with Ctrl + D? What is even this Ctrl key, I'm used to Cmd + anything on the Mac?

Isn't it odd that devs spend a lot of time in the Terminal, but apparently aren't as obsessed about the inconsistent keybindings vs the rest of macOS there?
If you haven't tried it, obsidian.md[0] has been killing it. You get to write your files in markdown and you can sync with git if you would like or toss it into your favorite share drive. I believe there is a built in daily tasks/note that you can trigger and there is a plugin that shows the daily notes you took on a calendar, to quickly check if you made one a certain day.

The only caveat I will give is, is that you can do so much with it with the stock options and its graph and throw in the plugins you can get within the app, you can easily spend so much time trying to perfect everything. I got burnt out with notion really fast since most of the community at least on reddit gravitates to showing off what your landing page looks like.

> We may not know how AlphaGo plays Go, but I think we can say AlphaGo knows how to play Go.

To be honest, before I can agree or disagree with that, I'd really like to know more about how AlphaGo actually plays Go. Like, how the network is structured, how an actual decision is produced, etc.

I feel, we're talking about increasingly lofty and abstract concepts while we don't have much of a clue what actually goes on on the ground.
> Google also found that interview performance isn't a good predictor of on-the-job performance.

People repeat things like this without really understanding statistics and priors and what that assertion really means. Assuming that statement is true, it applies only to Googlers who have been hired by the hiring process, i.e. if you are beyond the cutoff threshold of the interview process, the ranking within that subset is not determined by the interview performance. That in no way implies that among all the interviewees, including the rejects, the job performance would not have been correlated with their interview performance, had they been hired, hypothetically.

My observation from the comment sections to this post-apocalyptic video is the following: People focusing on how to prevent the theft of these cars, funding police, armed guards on trans, better security.

I think this is an interesting perspective, it's very "American", it's like it has been accepted by these commenters that rampant thievery is a perfectly natural part of life and so, must be worked around rather than solved.

But, protecting a thing from theft, rather than removing the reason thievery is so rampant, just moves the problem to someone else.. Like putting locks and security on your home, "Now they won't break into MY home, because the guy next door has less security, so they'll go at him instead".

Come on, the problem is not that it's easy to steal, the problem is that society has constructed situations for some of its citizens where they for one reason or another do it.

I walked around last year, in an opera house, public building, no one in sight, empty building, unlocked doors, there were paintings on the walls, and I identified audio equipment for at least $10k, and it was not unlocked by mistake. Then it struck me, that we've done well in society when we can have this.

People who break into containers as shown here have no excuses and are already career criminals.

Do they deserve a (potentially harsh) punishment? Yes.

But is it in society's interest not to make them worse than they already are? Also, yes.

So a problem in most countries is that prison is only focused on the punishment part not on the "what happens when people are released?" part.
Let's put this another relatable way.

Despite rare cases of aircraft disasters, the benefit-risk assessment for air travel shows a favourable balance for all age and sex groups; therefore, air travel is recommended for everyone ≥12 years of age

When this comes to travel by car/road, the risk just shoots up many fold, yet nobody bats an eyelid to use cars, sometimes multiple times a day.
Why go to college when bootcamps can be faster and less risky? They can have better terms then a lot of college debt with set time limits and payment amounts for debt. Colleges are so behind the times... I'd recommend them more for social skills and networking then anything though. I'm not against colleges just think a lot of them are out of touch and not worth it. I make a good salary now in STEM but never got around to a 4 year degree. I'm not against it but certainly understand why people don't go, it just takes a while and can be hard to tell if it's worth it. If it's affordable and you have don't have much else to do I'd recommend it, moreso if you come from a well off background. If you don't have a lot going for you though, take a trade school route or find a bootcamps with terms you think are agreeable and do a lot of side projects. Then decide if college is worth it. The eariler you make money the less stress you'll have long term.
> If NATO declares war on Russia, that also immediately expands the front line from Norway, down into the Baltics, all of which would have to be defended from Russian retaliation. Doing that and fighting a full scale invasion of Ukraine would be the largest European Conflict since WWII.

Well, that obviously goes both ways. Russia will also have to defend itself all the way from the north to the south.

> It's still a proprietary license that rejects the most basic principle of open source, which is the ability of anyone to use and modify the software.

Anyone is able to to use and modify the software, it's just that if your entity is large enough, you don't get to use it at zero compensation to the licensor.

The reason I would expect more FOSS advocates to embrace it is that other than this or a limited few other models (e.g., open core, commercial licenses to relieve GPL copyleft terms), what other avenues do they propose to exploit to ensure developers/maintainers are able to fund continuing development and maintenance of the software commons?

It's not like typical proprietary licenses to binaries where even if you pay, most likely you won't get the code (the exceptions are a low proportion of all proprietary licenses). "Shared source" as MS seems to define it makes you prove you're in one of their qualifying groups before you get to see the code - i.e., it's not like it's up on GitHub. And there are likely penalties if you share the code.

Shareware was also rarely distributed in source form, often had nag mechanisms/crippling, and didn't tend to distinguish between personal or non-commercial users and large institutional users. So I don't think "shareware" is a great categorization of this either.

My off-the-cuff label for this is a "Source Openly Available" license.

According article[4] posted by Taras Mishchenko[5], CEO & Chief Editor of the Mezha.Media[6], there is still "NO any response from officials".

UPDATE:

Oleg Nikolenko, Spokesperson for MFA Ukraine, later tweeted:

> As a result of a massive cyber attack, the websites of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a number of other government agencies are temporarily down. Our specialists have already started restoring the work of IT systems, and the cyberpolice has opened an investigation.[7]
