a. How many companies did you apply for?

Ans: 0, they reached out to me through linkedin, hired etc..

b. How many companies reached out to you?

Ans: 10-12

c. How many interviews did you typically go through for a company?

Usually 1 screen and 4 rounds onsite (2 coding, 1 sys design, 1 behavior)

d. What were the type of interviews? (Have the number of companies asking leet code questions decreased? haha)

Phone screen was usually some medium leetcode question, on site was one interview had 2 medium leetcode, 1 coding round had some problem which used algorithms but they were mainly looking at your code architecture skills, one round had system design, one behavior which was different across many companies (some had specific questions, some had general we want to talk to you type interviews)

d. How many offers did you get?

1, thats because i quit after 3 onsites, i had 3 more onsites lined up but by this point i ran out of stamina and i really liked the company which gave me an offer.

e. And finally how did you manage your time with all those interviews and companies?

It was like a full time job, i used all my vacation days to switch jobs.
How do people know? For every previous vaccine, myocarditis inflammation has mostly been temporary. If this one is different, how would people know it's lifelong?

It's much, much more likely that reaction to the vaccine is uncovering existing, latent myocarditis than it is causing them. A la https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_windshield_pitting_epi...

Also, nobody who cares about myocarditis seems to be pointing out that you are 16x more likely to get a myocarditis diagnosis from catching Covid than you are for getting vaccinated.
idk, I had no issues loading the gif and playing it.

> mandating flu vaccines

One of my big fears is that this is coming. People have been emboldened and received very little pushback against forcing others to get the covid vaccine, and to prove it wherever they go. How long until we start hearing "flu vaccine saves lives, I have the right to know if someone around me isnt vaccinated, etc etc". I'm almost afraid to say it out loud, and I bet a lot of people here already support it.

Childhood vaccination against Polio and the other big and previously debilitating childhood illnesses is nothing like mandating a covid vaccine, especially during a live event where the guidance and effectiveness is changing daily.
> Correct me if I'm wrong, but Troy Hunt is a person focusing on security, not infrastructure, deployments or development even.

Eh, I don't know - either way he is a Microsoft Regional Director and MVP for Cloud (as well as security), runs courses on cloud deployment on Pluralsight, and has done speeches on Azure and reducing cloud bills, so if a he can get stung it doesn't say a whole lot good about my chances.
FYI while Drive and YouTube's Content ID systems operate based on copyright, they are not entirely bound to it since they only actually have to comply with DMCA requests (barring any lawsuits that claim Google has the resources to create automated copyright detection systems[0]). Even when claiming copyright, they can remove and block access to content for any reason they want legally.

I am not too surprised by this.

When I was doing agency work I was fortunate enough to be able to set a priority for security and build most things from scratch, only using a hand full of utility plugins (e.g. ACF) where I could have at least a glance at the code doing things well. Anyone who has a site valuable enough to do that (and use a git workflow) should be using a framework like Bedrock.

I've never had a positive experience with a theme that had a thousand built-in options or even turned WP into a fully blown site builder. The code quality - both of the plugin/theme code and the generated markup - was usually quite bad. I imagine the main audience for managed WP hosting is there.

it makes even more sense for the desktop than for servers. servers do not often un/mount stuff, often services are just a few and long running, and certainly no usb stuff which is running around.

but the desktop is and will be a sprawling mess of components, look also too windows and mac. because nothing is totally certain, and something has to take care of it.

what is your argument that systemd is not made for the desktop? and split dns can also occur in server systems which are public but have a virtual "inner" network.

and my split dns works, so.. perhaps either your configuration sucks or the software is just not working at the desktop that seemlessly, but that will come. but it takes time.
> At the end all of your jails end up on the same loopback interface, making it hard to firewall.

I suppose you didn't use vnet? It's a vastly better jail networking experience. You can pretend jails are separate machines, connected via ethernet. I don't think anyone who knows about vnet chooses not to use it!

> I couldn't find a way to have one network interface per jail.

I think vnet is what you want.

> nftables is way easier to grasp than pf, and as fast as pf, and has atomic reloads.

pfctl allows you to do atomic reloads. `pfctl -f`
Cloud popped up mostly due to ease of use. Its a lot easier to hire cloudops engineer with somehow enough knowledge to deploy something on the cloud than someone who will be managing a datacenter and have it running.

The later ppl still do what they did, they just work for Cloud Providers making probably quite a bit more than they did previously.

IMHO its a win win situation for everybody. Less skilled engineers can be “productive” and former sysadmins have huge salaries.
I read it as sarcasm, cause writing a terminal emulator in electron is really a stretch, could be wrong ofc.

At first I was a bit irritated that vscode is build on electron. Then I found code-server, essentially vscode in the browser and fell in love with it. I can run a fully fledged IDE on a PI without using too much ram or CPU power because the client does a lot of the ui heavy lifting.
Then also the other way around, I use code-server on my powerful tower pc and can connect to it via vpn to run heavy coding tasks directly on the server while not miss8ng a single IDE feature. I use the metals plug-in to code Scala backend services and it works incredibly well. Much better then using remote desktop applications (nomachine, vnc, xrdp etc.) on the go. It's even better then ssh when the connection is bad, like mosh but for ui.
This makes sense - the main reason GitLab took off is vertical integration with CI/CD which Github is catching up on. Github has the long game in mind and with it's size and preponderance of OSS I see it taking over when they innovate to a more useable level.

> C array access is (not totally accurate) replaceable with pointer arithmetic and dereferencing. So array[-1] is the same as *(array - 1).

Thanks, that part is clear. I guess in the Piumarta paper, he's assuming all of these objects are contiguous in memory? Because the vtable pointer is always to [-1] but it's not specified in any given struct...
My apologies for mistaking your point.

I agree it wouldn't be a sufficient reason, but I think it is a step in the right direction and an illustration of how it enables freedom.

Your wallet is a ten word phrase/a private key. This is something we haven't seen before, money can move just like that. All one needs is internet access.

So yes, totalitarians will have a stranglehold under the current system, but it certainly loosens their grip when we wrest the money supply from their hands.
> But those are for illnesses that virtually no kid actually gets…

Because everybody has been vaccinated and we’ve reached heard immunity? Maybe we’ll get there one day with Covid, if everybody will get vaccinated, or at least as well as the flu
Remember this also protects the teachers. In some places teachers were refusing to go back.

(But I've also heard the transmission rate from children to teachers has been pretty low, but how low?)

There's already a long list of required vaccinations for school... is this one any different?

https://natomasunified.org/immunization-requirements-for-2021-2022-school-year

Was the banning of beaches back when we all were hand sanitizing and wiping down our amazon packages and groceries when no one really understood the transmission mechanism? Now we know it is mostly airborne and rare to catch outside with enough distance.
That's over two years, and the vast, vast majority of those children dying had severe health issues. We've already seen extremely consistently across children and adults that 50% or more "COVID hospitalizations" were actually hospitalizations for non-COVID related issues and COVID was detected incidentally. You can pretty much assume that half of those deaths were not related to COVID, which means that the real number of COVID deaths was more like 200 a year out of tens of millions of infections per year.
I think the idea is the same as why many European countries went into Afghanistan: To demonstrate a commitment to NATO.

Norway did actually achieve one of their goals in Afghanistan:

> ...the domestic goal of the mission, to prove Norway a trustworthy US and NATO ally, was fully achieved.

Sure, we can question the wisdom of going into Afghanistan. But that was kind of irrelevant to Norway given their domestic goal.

In any case, it seems pretty clear these troops would (if mobilized) be stationed in NATO countries -- not Ukraine!

Also note that many NATO besides the US has troops rotating through NATOs eastern members States.

Disney robbed us, our children, their children, and possibly generations beyond that with their more-than-a-century copyright terms.

I thought about posting this comment the other day and decided not to, but your mention of Disney+ stirred the idea in me again.

We have so much modern media about Dracula, Sherlock, Cthulhu, etc, a thousand flowers bloom... new movies, new games, new art of all kinds.

Disney & friends stole that from us. We won't have a million new takes on (for example) The Hobbit for decades because of them.

We have copyright terms of up to 120 years... stuff like Pong was made before I was born and won't be public domain until long after I'm dead.

Disney kills culture by ensuring that by the time the copyright expires, no one cares anymore, because no-one was exposed to it in the many decades after it's initial-release profitability (think abandonware, not-in-print books, etc). I think this is true for 99.999% of all works, not the outliers that the corporation milked for a century or more.

I can tell from your parallel ongoing thread you're having trouble differentiating between the public and private aspects of a politician's life, and how the two can often be at odds.

My (naive) solution. Every new account by default has an SMS alert that trips at $100. It says

"Your account has exceed $100 spend. Reply 'SHUTDOWN' to shutdown all services, 'STOP ALERTS' to never see this alert again, or 'DOUBLE TRIGGER' to double the alert trigger value to $200."

$100 is arbitrary, it could be any nominal sum. The idea being that the user can double the alert each time they get it just from SMS. I bet 95% of users would double their alert limit to a comfortable point. The other ~5% will be power users who customize their alerts.

The idea that these companies couldn't know what limits customers want is kinda silly. We can use the same techniques for alerts that we use in algorithms for expanding vector storage, for example. We can "amortize" alerts, so to speak.

I'm kinda surprised that the list of influences doesn't mention XQuery. Yes, it's not a relational query language... but it covers much of the same ground in practice, especially the part that they call "FLWOR expressions" (for/let/where/order/return) that operate on "tuple streams":

https://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-31/#id-flwor-expressions

And it has grouping, windowing functions etc. I bet you could define a subset that is specifically tailored to the same use cases as SQL - basically, get rid of everything to do with elements and attributes, and only allow scalars and sequences (and maybe maps?). But otherwise keep XDM data types and their semantics.
You are not legally required to provide your SSN to businesses or other entities, however, their policies may impact whether they choose to work with you.

So unfortunately... they will decline to do business with you if you decline to provide your SSN.

The only logical solution: Government needs to mandate a no SSN requirement and make it illegal to refuse service even if no SSN is provided.
I'm sorry exactly what are you saying is wrong with AZT? It wasn't discontinued, it's still in use and was the first drug that really started to turn around HIV. I know all about this because my research into pharmaceutical chemistry during my phd contained a lot about nucleoside analogs (I worked with a similarly toxic one, gemcitabine), and because I was working near the forefront of HIV antiviral research at the time.

Bactrim addresses a symptom of AIDS (specifically, a side bacterial infecftion that many people infected with HIV are prone to getting) while AZT reduces viral infections. Two completely different things. The former is for people who are infected, the latter for people to not get infected. The fog of virus is like the fog of war: easy to criticize from the distance of time.

I think you've said enough. It's clear what your opinion about Fauci is, and it's adding absolutely nothing to this discussion.
It's the hospital's responsibility to ensure patients get adequate care, not the ex-employees of the hospital.

The hospital can ensure patients get adequate care by attracting additional workers with sufficient compensation, retaining sufficient workers by offering them adequate compensation, and punish inadequate workers by firing them. The hospital in question seems to be willing to do none of these things.

I can only confirm that as owner of a moderately visible website, you have a massive target on your back. In my case, it's a niche site about a particular hobby that is relatively successful (within that niche).

There's the daily grind of ignoring the obvious affiliate link begging emails. I have a well developed bullshit detector from being on the web since 1996. As it appears, I still wasn't skeptical enough.

I get this email written by an old lady explaining how my site brought her grand daughter tremendous joy. It was very well written, and felt very genuine. It had a "realness" to it as it had such an informal style and it clearly wasn't generated as it had detailed, human-selected specifics about my site.

Anyway, the request was to have a look at this other site she found. I opened it. It looked OK. Relevant for the field, no obvious visual scam signs, just pretty shallow content.

I figured to not do anything. I figured it to just not be that interesting, it still took several days for me to let it sink in that it was another link/scam attempt.

I guess I still had some humanity left in me that could be exploited. That is the point I'm getting at: the human damage of all this hostility. You're under constant attack without relief, and can only manage the problem by becoming a monster yourself. Somebody so cynical that they assume every interaction is hostile.

And there's the daily cleaning of spammers joining the site. As small site owner, you can't take a break. There's no such things as weekends. It's non-stop. They're not bots, they're people in click farms so there's no mechanism to prevent them from joining.

There's the non-stop hack attempts as is evident from web server logs. And the occasional ransomware email.

Mind you, I'm talking about a completely non-commercial hobby project. The threat level for even just that is completely disproportional. You're trying to run this small genuine thing yet the world aims to destroy it, every hour of every day.

Now scale that up to a large site, or imagine being a Facebook moderator.
Yeah I just posted the number and the source. I mostly agree with you. The kids seem fine fortunately.
> Banned visiting beaches during the early phases - you had to crowd into indoor spaces.

As sibling comment says, large indoor gatherings were also not allowed.

This was back when we knew next to nothing about COVID. We didn't know yet what was safe or not. We didn't know if it was transmitted via the air or via touch. We didn't know what was safe, and what was not. Hindsight is 20:20...

I think it’s highly unlikely that even half the pressure waves would simultaneously reach a single point on earth. The waves get reflected in all kinds of ways by the ground, mountain ranges, difference in air temperature, etc.

It doesn't hijack anything, there's just a language redirect on the home page. It's not that uncommon, is it? It's not like it's messing around with the history API.

> If COVID continues to be a problem, it’s not surprising at all that the vaccine will get added to those lists.

There's a huge difference. This vaccine has a miniscule benefit for kids. We've never before mandated a vaccine for children that didn't provide a sizable benefit to the child him or herself.

Mandatory vaccinations for school-age children exclusively target illnesses with high childhood morbidity/mortality: Measles, Polio, Chickenpox, DtP.

SARS-CoV2, thankfully, is safer than influenza for kids. As of right now, the CDC says that 727 kids have died in the US with Covid throughout the entire pandemic:

Awesome that you're responding to feedback like this!

Another suggestion around `let`: consider splitting it into two operations, for creating a new column and for modifying an existing one. E.g. called `let` and `set`. Those are in effect pretty different operations: you need to know which one is happening to know how many columns the table will have, and renaming a table column can with your current system change which operation is happening.

Splitting them into separate operations would make things easier on the reader: they can tell what's happening without having to know all the column names of the table. And it shouldn't really be harder for the writer, who ought to already know which they're doing.

I encountered something like this at my previous job. We had a DSL with an operation that could either create or modify a value. This made the code harder to read, because you had to have extra state in your head to know what the code was doing. When I rewrote the DSL (the rewrite was sorely needed for other reasons), I split the operation in two. I was worried people would have been too used to the old language, but in practice everyone was happy with it.
Having someone with good cloud chops is still a difficult ask.

Thanks for the tip on EarlyOOM. Swap file is at least easier to handle than swap partition.

Some run their Linux without swap at all, however I think that is better for a server setup where you run a small set of specific set of binaries, thus you know your load.

That is not the case on a desktop where you running a variable set of binaries depending on your task.

I’m somewhat surprised how bad this works on Linux, I don’t think I ever experienced a swap problem on Windows (not even in the 9x days), I guess this is because "Year of the Linux desktop" never happened, Linux is primarily a server and embedded OS, not a desktop OS.
