I think this plays to two human traits. One is the need to remember and thus right something down. Humans have been doing this for years. Second is trying something new.

And you are right, trying something new is exciting. I remember when I first discovered Evernote, I thought it was super cool, then Roam, then Obsidian.

But I think the following will happen at some point in your journey (at least it happened to me). You will find a system/approach that works for you and you will not want to try other things. The workflow that I have configure for myself with the use of Obsidian, Readwise, and a couple of other tools, that the hustle of moving it to some other stack is just too big. It is so big in fact, that it trumps the novelty card completely.
I also only use literally literally. I refuse to tell my daughter that "One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind" effectively equates to "this one is for the bros!" or that "all men are created equal" doesn't apply to her.

I've asked potential employers not to do these because I think they are bullshit (in much nicer words) and they have been ok with that.

> It discriminates against poor people: You're a programmer, you are not poor. Even if you were, the few weeks of time investment it requires is usually offset by the higher salary you can ask for. Think of it as an investment in your future. Or if you are not a programmer, the amount of skills you need to learn to get your first programming job is usually far excess of just learning leetcode

This comment does not acknowledge the experience experience of many people who grew up poor or put themselves into major debt because they didn’t receive financial support or live in economically disadvantaged areas.

I grew up poor and took out massive education loans to pay for my education. I still pay off those debts today. Does that mean I consider myself poor now? No, but my economic disadvantage has made me need to work much harder in other areas and I’ve needed to prioritize many other things over leetcode. I haven’t had the luxury of spending multiple hours a week to get “good” at leetcode

So yes, I’d argue that leetcode is responsible for gatekeeping people out of jobs who don’t have time/money to grind on it.

>The discussion at the meeting was literally about keeping the same lessons but using a source that didn't contain specific words and images that violated board policy.

Some states and boards have used the exact same method to include language in lessons to say slaves in the South had it better before they got freed and that slavery wasn't always evil. It is a common tactic to downplay events from the past that make people uncomfortable but humanity has shown that we tend to repeat such events so teaching them is important.

>I don't see any concrete examples provided, so yes, I still feel it's a straw man.

You could have asked for examples and I would have provided them but I do find it interesting that you didn't provide examples in your own post, you did exactly what I did and posted your opinion. Holding others to a standard you do not follow yourself isn't a productive way to have a discussion.

I hope you have a pleasant reset of your day.
I play a fixed first word, and then one of 6 second words depending on the number of matches (any color) I get. I can remember these seven words and so it doesn't feel like cheating. Remembering words for all the 200 odd possible results of the first guess doesn't seem feasible, and referring to a cheat sheet seems to be, I guess, cheating.

Well known saying: "Cruising is repairing your boat in exotic places." Getting replacement parts in exotic places tends to be expensive and takes a lot of time and energy. The more "modern" your boat is, the more expensive and difficult it is to repair.

As you note, most of the cruising time is spent at anchor. A lot of time spent at anchor is dealing with provisioning because everything takes a dinghy ride (first pump out the water and maybe fix the outboard) and walking to the (small) store to buy from what they have on hand.

With the life+70 system we have now, it would be physically impossible for photos taken today to go public domain before said person dies. "Works for hire", OTOH, are 95 years from publication or 120 from creation (whichever expires first). With those, it is theoretically possible that a photo of a toddler would go public domain before they die.
Bill Gates Email: “Our strategy for the '90s is Windows”
I'm not sure I agree with your last point. The merchants have historically been powerless but the merchant side bank ends up patching things up to fix it's own costs. Often this patching means penalizing merchants with products that are fun to buy fraudulently for failures that originated or could only have been detected at the buyer's bank.
So what do they have that we don't have?
/r/WorkReform quickly emerged to replace /rAntiWork (360K+ subscribers almost overnight).

The new sub name is arguably better aligned with the goals of the movement, and it’s remarkable to see a replacement sub gain so much traction so quickly.
agree - add to that a system side-effect -- with strong consumer protection and easily reversed transactions, plus the financial policy to cover the dollars involved, that leads to a big increase of crooked insiders doing the fraud transactions. Without evidence, I believe that VISA and MasterCard in the early days, found that the massive money they made on consumer credit was worth the sort-of-unstoppable insider scamming as a "cost of doing business"

Funny, I just recently did a similar thing: found an LTO-4 tape drive on eBay for $40, and a few used cartridges (2TB each) for $20.

But before writing my backup to the cartridges, I tried reading their contents, and found that they actually came from a major film studio, with backups of raw animated film content on them!
I think what you are describing is a feature of the Amanda backup system, which might be worth a look. It supports writing to a library of "virtual tapes" which can then be backed by real tapes, tape libraries, hard disks, etc. and will handle the splitting/overflow problem that you are dealing with.

The Atlantic article (which I just read) is literally nothing except an attack on his character, everywhere, instead of his claims or perspectives. It just says he was wrong once about something in Israel, but other than that, it leaves his claims wholly unaddressed and uses a cynical tone related to him for everything, because how dare he have different perspective on something he at least helped invent.

I have almost no respect for media that does attacks on character rather than attacks on ideas.

It’s worth noting that advantage (and in my belief the large adoption of containers generally) is only valuable to interpreted languages that dont allow static linking.

For statically compiled binaries I’ve not worried about different versions of libraries for my binaries for 20 years (and the technology is decades older than that).

I do appreciate the docker file format but largely because it’s become used for true virtualization systems like firecracker. Plain Linux “containers” largely offer me very little.
Members are moving to https://old.reddit.com/r/WorkReform/ after the mod of r/anti work mishandling criticism of their interview with Fox News.

The interview was really bad but the mod reacting to criticism by deleting and locking posts and eventually locking the subreddit caused the community to lose trust in the ability of this person as a moderator.
I also live in western Europe (UK) and refuse to interview with any company who hires this way. I work 100% from home and I earn ~$80,000.

FAANGs aren't the only things out there. I'm not sure why you specified that kind of company specifically, but you may want to consider that there are literally hundreds if not thousands of local or country-wide companies that can give you what you want.

My company probably isn't even the biggest company on the street and employes less than 50 people, and yet I get good pay, work 100% from home, and get 28 days paid leave. I work from 08:00 to 16:00 with 1 hour lunch and I haven't worked a minute of overtime in 5 years. FAANG isn't the be-all-and-end-all.
There's some truth to that, but it's not really taken all that seriously by electricians (and the NEC doesn't specify)

I would expect to see a 10% procurement discount, since they presumably have more negotiating power with AWS when buying £££££'s worth of stuff annually, rather than every individual government team setting up a small account for a few ££'s.
> Giving everyone the same coding interview is one of the most effective ways to remove interviewer bias.

I'm sympathetic to the hiring side argument. But, I don't think the parent comment is insinuating that no technical question or test be asked of the applicant. They're not insisting on trust, they're insisting on showing their own intelligence. They're saying that the test or technical question should be directly applicable to the job at hand, for the company at hand. You can just as easily ask every single person who applies the same specific questions for the role at hand in your company. You don't need to rely on generic leetcode questions if they don't specifically apply to the job at hand.

In other words, hiring needs to actually be specific and targeted rather than adopting the "cast a wide net and catch whatever we can" strategy that many places seem to employ.

9/10 it feels like the insistence on leetcode from hiring comes as an excuse for rather weak recruiting standards and practices.
Yes exactly, it lets public sector teams / orgs quickly host something without needing experts or a load of red tape. It's a go-to approved hoster with internal government support available.
Because otherwise the effort will end up in the quagmire of civil service politics, the sort of stuff you see on "Yes Minister" (greatly exaggerated, of course, in the same way "Silicon Valley" exaggerates Californian startup culture).

With a direct line to the PM, every time a mandarin tried to block things (likely in order to favour his golf buddies from this or that vendor), GDS could go "ok, shall we take it up with the PM then?" and that would be the end of it.

It's effectively the nuclear option, in terms of civil-service management, but sometimes it's the only way to get stuff done.
> but we’ll need to do a bit of research to get us to 150, for instance

Indeed, but we could additionally to research also do something against the most common causes of (early) death - the more people live longer, the higher the chance is that one of those who has not suffered a preventable death is the one that lives to be 150 years.

And there's a lot that we can easily tackle at relatively low cost compared to the gains (both in productivity and years-lived): incentivize people to quit or reduce alcohol and tobacco consumption, make high quality food affordable and accessible to everyone (=combat "food deserts"), reduce working hours in a first step towards 40 hours and then 30 or even 20 hours, reduce commute times, mandate vaccinations for everything that Army soldiers get across the population, increase access to cancer awareness programs and to first-class physical and mental healthcare so that cancer and other illnesses can get detected and treated early enough...

Once in 5th or 6th grade we had a math homework of a few dozen problems multiplying 3 or 4 digit numbers together.

Totally tedious.

Instead of mindlessly doing it, I spent a few hours making a BASIC program that did the multiplication, but importantly showed all the intermediate steps that we were required to show (eg multiplying by 634 shows the multiplication by 4, 30, and 600 separately).

Writing that program took probably 3x as long, but I wound up learning 50x vs the rote multiplication we were assigned.
I grew up as a military brat. Joining the military was more of the same, in a different dialect - AF Blue instead of Navy Blue. After commissioning I served in an R&D environment that was mostly civilian & contractor. I had the least military job in the least military command of the least military service. The technologies I shepherded that were cutting edge at the time are now flying in the F-22 and F-35.

> "you don't have a backup plan until you've tested it"

Yep. Though that's what makes small-shop disk-to-disk backups easy, depending on the backup software used.

We use rsnapshot, which uses rsync and "cp -l" to make backups. So restoring is as easy as using cd to go into the appropriate directory and copying out the files. No special utilities needed. Yes, we encrypt the backup drives using cryptfs / LUKS.
One reason to build an MVP is to force founders to talk to users.

The reason this is important is many founders will avoid doing it.

Founders avoid it because talking to users is mostly hearing rejection.

One of the ways founders avoid talking to users is to invent arguments about why it is not necessary to talk to them.

Another attraction is inventing arguments is easier than finding and talking to users.

Good luck.

Doing all of that is my job and you are 1000% correct. I will always have job security now because of how ridiculously over-complicated, clunky, rigid, flaky, and bizarre all the DevOps tools are. K8s Admin is now the new DBA. Writing Terraform is a programming job in itself. It's like somebody decided we don't have enough useless people in tech so they made all this new tech be more annoying than it has to be. We could probably replace it all with a couple shell scripts and it'd work just as well.
Well, if I understand your point you are refering to the fact that in many high level programming languages, the language itself is able to dected the most efficient method to do solve some linaer algebra problems, say solving linear systems.
However QR factorization (or other factorizations) may be usefull when you have to solve different problems but with the same matrix, so that factorizing once and for all gives you an advantage (for example many undetermined linear problems [1]). In this case knowing something about factorizations, or what to use when, may be helpful

It is. Fun fact: when Harry Potter 7 was published in the United Kingdom, the publisher didn't allow this, so bookstores had to purchased the stocks from the publisher.

Solarwinds fixes code execution bug in enterprise helpdesk software
> 45’ will give you a much more comfortable ride and is safer in rough weather.

There are lots of arguments about this. The 45' will have everything scaled up, so sail handling is more difficult. Assistive devices, like roller furling, while a lot better than they used to be are still finicky. Ground tackle, especially, is so much larger and heavier that without mechanized assistance, you'd better be in really great shape.

Also, don't forget, all marinas rent slips by the foot. The cost difference is quite a bit between 31' and 45'.

If you go single handed, it's hard to beat something like a Pearson Triton 28'. It's really old, but it's stupidly solidly built. The sea keeping abilities of these smaller cruisers are underappreciated. Whatever one goes with, figure out how well you can heave-to in it. Lin and Larry Pardey discuss this at length in "Storm Tactics." They describe weathering shocking storms while heaving-to, and watching their sideways wake break up dangerous waves. I have no idea whether newer boats are still built to perform with this formerly common tactic.

Hmm. I dare say you could make the same video in the UK but not about race, instead about about how "poor people can't afford ID". But, statistically it's still true, and the people who can't afford ID are working one of their two jobs (or unemployed) not walking around town during the day.

Free, state issued ID is part of the answer but the opportunity cost getting to a photo booth (!) is still a surprisingly large inhibitor given the stringent requirements on photos. (I do my own photos at home, you have to have a reasonable colour printer, I edit on the computer but you could probably do it on a smartphone nowadays).

If people of a particular background are over-represented amongst the [very] poor (such as "White Irish" in the UK) then they'll be disproportionately disenfranchised.

Interesting, was that in the EU? I recently had a friend go through the process in the bay area, he didn't get anything harder than easy/medium. I thought that Google, at least, was trending to making their algo portion easier as they introduced design questions instead. 2/3 hard questions is pretty crazy and anyone would struggle with that unless they grind a lot like you suggest. Might be you just got really unlucky with the interviewer or there is a culture in that office of asking hard algo questions.
