We're not talking about the government here, we're probably talking about over a hundred governments worldwide. They're all corrupt in the same way? That's ridiculous.

Also what's the end game here. Why would a corrupt government gain by mandating masks and encouraging vaccination. Even the potential motive is lacking.
The new way is server hosts and/or network providers to cancel them.
>It's pretty interesting when you start to notice the derogatory tone mainstream-media celebrities use when talking about podcasts

It becomes really obvious when the podcaster is a professional analyst for that subject and doing the podcast as a side gig. They'd have the same type of person saying the same thing as a guest but they're being a whiny jerks because said person isn't on their platform answering their cherry picked questions.
Hey, I'm the author of this blog post. Ask me anything!
I believe leetcode is a way to skirt around discriminatory hiring practices. It’s not at all representative of most work environments. Some want to pretend they’re cognitive wizards, but many of the algorithms used to solve problems took years to develop. If you haven’t seen a particular problem before or had time to research it, it’s unrealistic to expect a candidate to solve it in twenty minutes in a high pressure situation. This process benefits individuals who have the luxury of time to spend preping. Something minorities, working parents, etc. don’t have.

I’ve been a software engineer and now architect for 15 years. Studying leetcode like problems won’t help me at my current job or a future employer once I get past their interview processes. What leetcode does do is make it difficult for minority candidates, those with external obligations, or those with families to get into firms. For example, I work 50+ hours a week with two kids and a parent with cancer. I work hard at work and have a lot of external obligations. I don’t have time or to study leecode problems.
Taking notes fosters creativity. Creativity seems, among other things, to be “usefully” putting together things which were not perceived to be related before, and it may be the initial psychological distance between the things which counts most.
Note-taking apps and methodologies can help reduce the distance between things that seem unrelated, which leads to new ideas and solutions.
Another thing one might ask is what is the goal of having a society in the first place or what should be the goal of having a society. I would say that providing its members with their human rights is pretty high up there as the goal. But maybe we can do a bit better. What about every person being able to strive for what they themselves consider valuable? I think that as such already presupposes human rights. Another thing to think about in this context is economic prosperity. When talking about nazism, I don't think you can see this as separate from the economic situation at the time it came up. If there is enough economic hardship people will follow the great leader who promises better and they will be vulnerable to the suggestion that some outgroup or etnicity is harming them.

For the software side of things, I was frustrated enough to develop what basically ended up as sticky notes in 2D+3D (shameless plug: https://www.temin.net/). I use it for note-taking quite a bit.

How I experience those notes in Temin is different to other software, but my methodology is basically unchanged:

- Even if it's just text (I doodle/sketch a lot) I actively consider using a pen before a keyboard.

- If it's something external I'm trying to remember/integrate I experience it (listen/read/watch/do etc), then take notes.

I think some of the allure of note-taking software comes down to the idea it can eat your vegetables for you when it comes to methodology. It can't. Software can add value to your notes via how experience/relate/link/query etc them, but if you put garbage in, you will get garbage out.
I am in several IRC channels using an XMPP transport. OpenStreetMap, Wikidata/Wikipedia and several other projects have public IRC channels and I am really glad they do, because more and more projects have started using walled gardens like Discord or Telegram for their communications.
£80k is £4600 post tax per month, £4200 after student loan, and is higher than about 95% of the country (about about 97.5% in 2019)

£2100 will get you far more than a 1 bed flat.

After some research I've come to the conclusion that the License can't have such restrictions and still be considered 'free', but a "Terms of Use" clause elsewhere in the code can be used to restrict how programs built from the free code can be used.

Quite an interesting conundrum, this - but I suppose one that is simply the state of things: if you want your stuff to be free and open, you cannot release it to the world and expect/demand that it will not be weaponized, as is the case with any and all technology. Sobering.
Commonly they accept patches from upstream without reviewing them. If Artifex were to slip malware into the next version of GhostScript or Google were to slip malware into the next version of Chrome, probably nobody at Debian would notice.

Fair enough, I wasn't aware it gets even worse, but the current level of tax at 80k£ already feels extremely unfair when it's barely enough to rent in Central London.
Yours seems like a particularly uncharitable interpretation compared to my reading; I didn't hear them saying D == R so much as both are susceptible to the same flaw of human nature: impulsive overreaction to stimuli we find threatening.

I do agree that's an unhelpful analysis, but only because it happens to be tautological.
I certainly recommend freelancing. It can take some time to get up to speed, but I'm currently making €95/hr on a long term project, which will probably be over €130k per year (for 32 hr per week). My rate might be the high end (I honestly don't know), but my sister who just started freelancing in test automation (which might be more in demand than developers?) is starting out at €75 or €85 per hour. €80 per hour for is not unusual at all.

Of course as a freelancer you have to arrange your own insurance and miss out on lots of benefits that employees get automatically, but personally I think the trade-off is easily worth it. Though to me the real advantage of freelancing isn't financial, but freedom; I'm less bound by all sorts of company rules and restrictions. Although on the other hand, I'm more bound by the tax service. I think it's a good trade-off.
Which are the classical platforms? I'm not sure we've had any instances of wide reach distribution systems that completely lacks editorial oversight before internet companies figures out how to monetise raw traffic.
Agreed. Whenever I look at one of those job sites, even when they're dedicated to software development, or even front-end development, almost all jobs listed are listed by an agency for the actual company. I'd rather deal with the companies directly, but too often the agencies hide away name and contact information. Of course, now and then I can figure out which company it is, anyway, but it is a hassle.

I suppose that smaller companies think they don't have the resources to maintain their job listings in various databases, but I think they should.
- For those outside of the loop, a couple time-ordered points not mentioned here:

Fox contacted to the mods and asked specifically to talk with this person, and the mods accepted this instead of other due to having some experience in other media. All of this without asking the users if they agree with that.

The Fox interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yUMIFYBMnc

After the Fox interview happened, practically the whole subreddit were upset and disappointed. People asked why this happened in this way, why they didn't prepare a lot more this kind of event, and practically they got an "it is what it is", with a bit of authoritarian smell because the mods took this personally.

People really get even more mad about this, created other subreddits, and created threads in r/antiwork saying things like "mods are mods, not leaders or content creators, and they shouldn't influence the whole sub" and like like "we need new mods".

Mods took that personally, banned a lot of people, removed a lot of comments, more people were mad about this, and even attacked personally the person who spoke in Fox, until they had to close the sub.

- Sources:

https://old.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/sdesxw/mega...

https://old.reddit.com/r/ABoringDystopia/comments/sdjc4b/the...

- What I think we should learn about this:

Fox wanted to interview a specific mod because they knew that using a person who probably would give a bad public image they can show a bad image of the sub. And not only Fox, but every media who have a opposite idea or ideology to yours.

Mods weren't clever enough to ask the people if they wanted or not to be in Fox, who should be the spokesperson, and what thing they wanted defend, report, or ask for. They also needed to make to the spokesperson a guide about what appearance (not only physical) give and what subjects needs to talk.

The spokesperson never should talk about their personal life. That person is representing a group of people, not only one.

You can stop individual people, but not a common idea.

This is gonna be used for ever to teach people what not to do in an interview for a lot of time.
While you’re telling the truth, calling someone who is defensive about a tribal identity to which they subscribe that they and their cohorts are all wrong is about as effective as telling an Insane Clown Posse fan that they are listening to bad music. It just gives them an enemy and makes them cling harder.
I saw a video in which Richard Feynman was asked to explain why magnets repel. He went on a long tirade but finally the answer was "magnets repel, because they do". Asking for a deeper explanation does not make sense unless you want to study theoretical physics for the rest of your life.

I feel this question about human rights falls into a similar category. They are required. If you want to go deeper into the reasons, you need to spend a lifetime studying philosophy and ethics and whatnot.
Years ago there was a comment here on HN, to the tune of: "when a man fronts a team he's called a leader or a CEO; when a woman does the same she often gets called a figurehead or a fake", and it's one of those things where once I heard it described I started noticing it a lot.

never heard of her. Just checked her channel and every episode is her in a tube top and short shorts. Maybe she's technical, but the way shes dressed is clearly with the intent to draw people in sexually.

When she leaves the house she puts on a full set of clothes, so even shes consciously aware of how she looks in her videos.

From what ive seen, she doesnt deserve demonetization because youtube has worse.. and shes providing educational content but its clear to me where the controversy lies, education + intentional sexual appeal. Id bet a large part of her audience is 10-18
No, you are definitely not. But some insecure interviewer might feel this is an enormous red flag to be doing so.
I did and they were full of algebra. Anyway as I've said elsewhere Pythagorus's theorem is an algebraic formula, so you can't even state it without using algebra.

Converting the equation to prose doesn't mean it isn't an algebra anymore. The key feature of algebra is manipulation of variables.
The endowment isn't there just to pay for OCW, and the market returns last year are not the returns every year. Also, most donors restrict their funds to specific goals.

Every R1's endowment pays for everything a school must do: campus shuttles, sending lab kits to remote students during a lockdown, funding research activities (conferences, equipment, student salaries, journal fees), supporting student clubs, building/maintaining modern facilities, allowing poorer students---those already overcoming disadvantages relative to their peers---to focus on studying instead of working, poaching leading instructors from around the globe, building reactors.

According to https://ocw.aprende.org/donate/why-donate/ (a slightly older mirror of OCW's current donate page) MIT gets half of its $3.5 million budget from the institute while the remainder comes from donors. I also don't know that MIT is allowed to dip into the OCW fund for planting trees and endowing professors, so a donation probably actually goes toward maintaining AV gear, paying undergraduates to write captions, ensuring legal compliance, paying external courseware developers and Github fees.

(Yes, they occasionally hire external writers. I did this one summer before private repositories were free. OCW hires also get MIT certificates, which unlock a lot more course materials on MIT domains if you search a bit.)

At 2 million visits per month, one percent of visitors giving 5 dollars each year falls short of their budget by 500 grand. Do you think even one percent gives? Do you think they had 2 million site visits last month?

I don't know if they monetize their Youtube channel either. I can't recall ever seeing ads on their videos.

Ultimately, a lot of people are leeching off of large donors and corporate sponsors, who get back---at least short-term---practically nothing for their support. I see the school's perspective, why give more if users (or benefactors) are unwilling to support a reasonably worthy cause?

(If you need proof that a leading university will revoke its charitable publishing of course materials, look no further than UC Berkeley, which took the ball home after being ordered to add closed captions to free lecture videos.)

In short, I would recommend giving a few coffees worth to OCW before giving to Wikipedia (for the same reason you'd pay for universal grade school whether you have children or not), and I have historically done both.
But the vaccinations are working to get everyone out of the mess. While Omicron is not prevented entirely by the vaccines, hospitalizations per confirmed case are an order of magnitude lower than previous waves, and deaths are similarly an order of magnitude lower. This was the trend with Delta before Omicron as well.

Highly vaccinated countries are now at the point where any of the current variants are now only a little more dangerous than seasonal flu, which we live with almost every year. As such, barring a more dangerous variant arising, there is no point to further lockdowns. It's endemic, it's not going away entirely, but we can now live with it.

The most important thing we can do now is get the rest of the world into a highly vaccinated state, which will help suppress further variants emerging so quickly.

I interviewed in Berlin last year and almost no one asked leetcode type questions. Some companies were even willing to give up take home projects if you asked them.

The alternative was to have system design and technical talks and it seems to work well. I wrote about my experience where we discussed about my side project as well: https://www.arbeitnow.com/blog/how-a-side-project-led-to-a-j...

Sure, in a real world scenario you would Google the most efficient/elegant way to get the max item in an array. However in an interview situation, the interviewer is usually expecting a language agnostic approach, i.e. using loops.
Declarative is better because it’s simpler. For instance let’s say you have a system and you want to add a new resource to it. If you’re using an imperative paradigm, then you’ll write a script to transition the state from the current state to the desired state. Now let’s say you want to spin up a new cluster in a different region, you need to write another script to go from the empty state to your final state from before. With a declarative paradigm, both modifying and creating resources are the same.

It’s also easier to understand the current state of the system. In an imperative style, you need to understand every operation that has been performed to know what the current state is. In a declarative system, you just need to look at the most recent declaration.

In short, declarative is more scalable and understandable.

Another way to look at your question is to ask what is better about the imperative style? Having used both, I can’t think of any advantages. Maybe you could say you have more control with imperative, but is that control really necessary? In my experience, it is not. The additional control just makes things more complex.

And of course you can make a overly complex, hard to understand system using a declarative paradigm. But the simplest declarative system can be simpler than the simplest imperative system for achieving the same configuration.
You know what’s better than the “resource” URL leading to resource/index.html? Having the “resource” URL lead to plain resource.html. Then you can still have a directory named “resource” and any relative links in resource.html to “resource/thing” (to reach resource/thing.html) will feel natural, as “thing” is indeed in a subdirectory.

(Apache supports this using “MultiviewsMatch”.)
That particular question was not supposed to be a trick question. If the answer given in, say, Python was 'max(array),' I would have found the answer acceptable ('max' is an intrinsic function in Python); a better answer would be writing a for-loop. The person facing this question was an applied CS PhD (student at the time) at a Top-3 in Europe with prior working experience (IIRC).
I have a split-brain on the matter.

I trust Amazon to the extent that I am okay with them storing my card information. Their security practices in that regard are pretty damn good. (I do not trust Google with my payment card info. I do not want them to have anything on file they could trigger charges against, either by accident or through their many dark patterns.)

I do not trust Amazon when it comes to vendor or marketplace management. They have an enormous fake review problem, and the probability for counterfeits is, in some categories, unacceptably high.

Meaning: I don't buy any big ticket items from them. I'm still happily doing mostly recurring purchases from Amazon, for product categories where the chance of getting mislabelled junk is practically zero.

Okay, this is a weird one for me to have a solution for - especially since I don't take a whole lot of notes (relative to university days).

The American Competitive Debate Community has quietly "solved" note taking using MS Word for Windows and Mac. This is done using a really neat plugin called Verbatim: https://paperlessdebate.com/verbatim/

Ignore the stuff about debate and think of it as a note taking app which exploits already built in hierarchical features in word (the navigation panel) and creates hotkeys for rapidly creating notes. See this video for more details: https://youtu.be/AkoYLBgChQw?t=393

I used this tool for note taking (and also extensively for debate) and everyone who saw me use it was flat out jealous. I had a few friends actually start using it in their own daily experience.

No where in the declaration do I see the term "hospital capacity".

One criticism, amongst many:

> David Naylor, co-chair of the Government of Canada's COVID-19 Immunity Task Force, told the National Post: "Obviously, the Great Barrington fix will excite the minimizers who pretend COVID-19 is not much worse than the flu and enliven the libertarians who object to public health measures on principle … So be it: they've been offside all along."[5] Naylor also pointed out that a study published in August in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine examined Sweden's "no-lockdown" policy's effect on herd immunity among the Swedish population, finding it did not improve herd immunity despite higher rates of hospitalization and death than in neighbouring countries.[5][56] According to Naylor, the policy advocated by signatories of the declaration would never be the "controlled demographic burn that some zealots imagine", and because of exponential growth of infections would lead to a situation where "with masses of people sick in their 40s and 50s; hospitals will be over-run and deaths will skyrocket as they did in Italy and New York".[5] With the prospect of a vaccine available within months [of the October 2020 statement], Naylor questioned the logic of the Great Barrington strategy, asking: "Why on earth should we rush to embrace a reckless prescription for a demographically-selective national 'chickenpox party' involving a dangerous pathogen?"[5]
