I think that's the whole point that any amount of work that is obligatory to survive is too much.

Showing a person who opposes work in current mainstream culture will only end up with mixture of laughter, indignation and branding him as lazy.

It's very similar to the reaction you'd get few decades ago if you showed a black man who thinks he's people.

Evereybody in our culture was brainwashed with supposed virtues of being compelled to work. Noble struggle of providing.

All while 99% of our goods are made by machines and chemistry, with rich fully allowed to capture as much of the value produced by those machines and processes as they can.

All of that is just a modern version of feudalism. Better than any earlier system (same way feudalism was for its time) but still crap.

In the future anti-work in the style "I don't care, fu, where's my robot that covers all the work I don't freely choose to do" will be a mainstream view. And working people of today will just be a bunch of grumpy boomers lamenting that youngsters have no ethics.

I'm 42 but I know where the wind blows.
No, not at all. At least in Europe leetcode is what companies do when they hail from SV or, more commonly, are just cargo culting its culture.

In any case if you want to land such a job then there's one thing which helps tremendously, namely: immediate availability at the start of the quarter.

Q3 is an exception, because that's when everyone is on vacation.
I second this, it's been my experience at smaller companies, too. If you can find a smaller recruiter company, generally they have seemed to perform better than the larger name-brand recruiter companies in my experience.

At least in the US, expect to pay a good recruiter who finds you a candidate you hire somewhere in the 20-25% of first year salary for the hire (ie: you hire a candidate for $100k/year total comp, you pay the recruiter $20-25k in fee for that hire).

No matter what you do, you're going to sift through a LOT of candidates who are definitely not the right fit.

I also concur with going to local university recruiting days. It's a whirlwind and you'll likely lose your voice after the first day talking to so many students, but it costs less than hiring a recruiter and you'll likely get enough good resumes and enough first interactions with the humans behind those good resumes to justify it.

But also, just offer to pay your existing employees a non-trivial referral bonus for finding someone (like multiple thousands of USD, as compared to paying a recruiter this is super cheap). Sure, the incentives aren't perfect, but if you have someone you already trust as an employee or partner or past coworker referring someone they want to work with, odds are that candidate is going to be pretty good.
Trailing slashes should be optional and the server response should be the same regardless of their presence. At least, that's how I expect my applications to behave. It's the principle of the least amount of surprise. You might be pleasantly surprised that it works if you add the slash as opposed to be mildly annoyed when it gives you a 404. Requiring the slash would be very surprising. The least surprising is that they both work the same way. I see no technical reason for them to behave differently.

Some web-servers do this and others require fiddling with to get them to behave that way. But ultimately. the slash is just a separator and not semantically relevant. It's like many languages now allowing trailing commas in lists. It's convenient. The comma does not add an extra element.

One place where this comes up in practice is with specifying base URIs in e.g. configuration files. Somewhere else, this base URI is consumed to construct a full URI using a suffix that may or may not have a leading slash.

If your base URL is http://foo(/) and you want to append (/)bar, you might end up with http://foobar, http://foo//bar, http://foo/bar depending on what people do on both sides. Or those three with a trailing slash. There is no right answer.

The only sane behavior that follows the principle of the least amount of surprise is to make sure that base uri and suffix will be separated by exactly one slash and assume nothing about the presence of leading or trailing slashes. That way, nothing will break or behave unexpectedly if people add or omit a trailing or leading slash.
The biggest issue anti-work has, is it's name.

At it's core (the defensible part) anti-work is an American labour/union movement, reacting to the exploitation of workers due to flimsy labour law (think Amazon workers).

But the term anti-work is so emotive against the movement, that is just becomes indefensible. So much that the subreddit itself is no longer a single issue movement.
Edgy, but too depressive for my tastes.
My rate of reference is pretty high. I have a job that involves a lot of research projects. My process often goes like this:

1. Someone calls me with a project. I take notes about what they need.

2. I look at my notes to figure out what to research. '

3. As I do the research, I take notes about the results

4. I look at my notes to draft an e-mail or memo about the research

5. I look back at my notes from the call to make sure I got what they wanted

Another task I often have is having a call with someone (sometimes a very long call) and then writing an e-mail about it:

1. Take notes on the call

2. Draft e-mail based on notes

3. Review notes to make sure the e-mail encompasses everything

I definitely refer to old notes less. But here are some examples where I constantly refer back:

1. I have a note with the terminal command to strip Mac OS system files from .zip files. I refer back to that a lot.

2. I have notes about my wife's favorite takeout orders that I check before I put the orders in.

3. I have a long note called "Python Dev Stuff" that describes how to set up my Python environment, that I look at whenever I get a new laptop or do a major OS update.

4. I have a "blog post ideas" note where I write down ideas for blog posts. When I want to do a post and can't think of what to write about, I look at that note.
“the status quo is fine”
Rogan doesn't have to be intentionally lying to his audience for it to be dangerous misinformation
That's indeed a difference, yes.
The problem with this framing is who decides what is "misinformation"? And is that party incorruptible? Why not let people speak and let the audience decide for themselves. Because they may not decide what you decide?
It's impossible to make a one-size-fits-all device. For me, the Remarkable is too small. I wish they would come out with an A4-sized display. That's the size of paper I generally take notes on and it's the native size for most PDFs.
That's my point, those questions are pointless. They don't show anything meaningful besides someones ability to learn a lot by heart. I mean, just based on the fact that someone asked if it was necessary to grind leetcode questions shows that you cannot gain any meaningful insight by asking questions like that.
Apple in-housing their chip design was a brilliant move. The A-series processors were a good indication what was coming up, but still the M1 blew me away.

Still waiting to see what they'll do with Mac Pro + M-series. Do they go for a M2 or just slap a dozen M1s in parallel =)
Problem is you only have to fail once to leak information, and there are only a finite number of bits of information you can leak before your identity is known.
We don't trust artists with medical diagnosis or designing a bridge.

Yet in politics they're immediately as respected as someone with a law degree in constitutional law and philosophy from Harvard.

Can anyone explain to me, why people care about artists' political views?

I've never understood this and I'm being completely serious.

is it a remnant of the '60s anti-war movement?

Don't worry about it.

It's important to bring it up because there's quite a few people who don't want to adopt Rust for one reason or another, but want a mature lower level language alternative to what they're using now.

I try to mention Ada when people are looking for something with its characteristics, but don't appear to have considered it. I try not to hijack threads or interject, be rude or overbearing, though it has probably read that way at least once.

> That is why i keep mentioning Ada in the hope to balance the "Memory Safe language" selection bias.

Ada suffers from a lack of proper marketing and being misunderstood. The Ariane 5 disaster gets mentioned as reason to not use it, but not Ariane 5's track record since as of the most reliable payload rockets in history (including a streak of 80+ successive launches), and because of this was picked to launch the James Webb Space Telescope. Ada's usually mentioned along with COBOL or Modula-2, so I expected a bloated bureaucratic grotesque language, not a modern one with decent tooling and a package manager. While it may have been "complicated" when released, the newer versions, especially Ada 2012 have really polished up the language well.

I've been productive in it since the early months of using it, and it has exceeded most of my expectations.
Haha, seriously, although to be fair to the startups, it occasionally works. I was getting really burned out at my last job (wasn't a FAANG, but had FAANG-level pay), and ended up joining a startup at ~half my current pay, but way less stress. I am so much happier now.

Also, thanks mostly to equity appreciation, I'm almost up to what my previous jobs starting pay was :-)
So you would rather make pollution free and tax labor? (existing status quo)
To be clear, the node formerly known as Intel 10nm is now called Intel 7. There's no unit attached, which is probably for the best, as what was being measured in nanometers previously was super subjective and varied per manufacturer.
What are you talking about? If you claim something is dangerous and want it removed, you better have god damn compelling evidence of the "danger".

Explain what the danger is, and how it is manifesting.

And intentionality is absolutely relevant to this, considering we are essentially judging a conversation between two people. Does the same conversation in a bar constitute misinformation? When does it go from conversation to declaration? When does opinion become misinformation?

I'm not currently interested in whether what they're saying is true or not, I'm interested in whether it can be considered misinformation in spirit of the meaning of the word. If their intention is to discuss something sincerely, then it's not misinformation - it's opinion.
I found the costs interesting: "The estimation for the cost of picking up cigarette butts today is around 80 öre or more per cigarette butt, some say 2 kronor." A Krona is about a US dime, so that's saying it's somewhere between 8 and 20 cents currently per butt. Call it ten cents. Then you'd need to collect a hundred butts to make ten dollars. The majority of humans on Earth would jump at that chance (assuming sufficient density of butts).
Because if there's anything to judge a person on the basis of, it's Reddit logins they chose when they were 20 and stuck with as they grew in popularity
He wasn’t “the original inventor”. He’s one of many, many people who worked in the field (very early on) and has subsequently shown that he’s no longer willing to practice science by promoting antivax propaganda and offering patients false hope over ineffective treatments.

Fauci is far more credible because he’s talking about what many hundreds of researchers have confirmed. When he’s talking about vaccines, he’s not just making things up but summarizing peer reviewed studies which have been extensively analyzed. Malone now avoids the scientific process because he knows that his claims aren’t rigorous enough to survive it, and he can profit by telling people that’s censorship rather than admitting inadequacy.
Proctored homework? If not, I don't understand how he couldn't come up with a solution at all.
And I'm glad they do, I've received a ~40%, ~10% and then ~50% salary increase because of recruiters who've reached out to me.

Tape makes more sense the larger you go, as it help amortize the fixed/upfront costs. The incremental costs of buying more tapes (that are re-usable) isn't that much at scale. It's often relatively cheap insurance against data loss for many organizations.

A lot of 'enterprise' backup software is also now coming with hooks into cloud storage (e.g., S3 APIs), but then you have to worry about bandwidth and the time it takes to get the bits offsite at "x" bits/second.

Of course you also have to worry about retrieving the data in case of disaster per the Recovery Time Objective:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disaster_recovery#Recovery_Tim...

Also: a backup has not happened until you try and succeed your recovery process.
But that’s easy. If the writer fact-checked this article (did she even talk with the real Susy Thunder?) before publishing it, it would be very short, and wouldn’t get as many clicks. That isn’t in the interest of the writer.
Thanks, I appreciate that @notrab!
For me it's a lot about just being a data hoarder and never having to delete something because i'm low on storage. About half of my system though is taken up by system backups and virtual machines. I should do a cleanup of those, but the freedom of just being able to spin up something new or put a new backup on there without ever going, "do i have enough space for this?" is rather nice.
He had Sanjay Gupta on just a couple of months ago.

Joe Rogan isn’t anti-vaccine. His stance on the Covid-19 vaccine is if you’re older, fat, or with an existing comorbidity you should go get vaccinated. For everyone else it isn’t strictly necessary and shouldn’t be a requirement.

It basically comes down to individualist versus collectivist. If you’re a collectivist you think JRE is spreading misinformation.
He's 65+ and believes in informed consent. No contradiction there.
"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."

This is actually such a bizarro answer I’m surprised it is getting tons of upvotes. All the techniques you learned in school can solve nearly every leetcode problem. You can get good at it with an internet connection and an hour a day. If you're going to work at my company for 2 years you better demonstrate you can do some preparation when there's literally 400 of you applying.

Gunpowder might have been invented by China, but it was copied and refined by the Arabs.

The Muslim world acquired the gunpowder formula some time after 1240, but before 1280, by which time Hasan al-Rammah had written, in Arabic, recipes for gunpowder, instructions for the purification of saltpeter, and descriptions of gunpowder incendiaries. Gunpowder arrived in the Middle East, possibly through India, from China.

Quoting her: "I look the way I do for myself, and I don't object to any one else's polite enjoyment of that."

Considering something like body dysmorphia (as an example) might help give someone benefit of doubt. I'm not going to pretend to understand exactly why someone feels that way.

That makes him a rando for the majority of people just like me, those who are not interested in or follow MMA.

The point I was making is not whether he’s really a rando or not, TV journalists sure think he is, because according to them he shouldn’t get a seat on the table.
Yes I made YouTube demonetize my videos for uh...Hacker News attention. Yep, checks out.
That would make smokers feel entitled to leave their buds everywhere...

The crow-sourcing approach also means continuous delivery of cigarette buds whereas Humans would only go through one area on a particular schedule.
Or Arabic, like Ramsey Nasser's beautiful قلب: https://nas.sr/%D9%82%D9%84%D8%A8/
Crow-sourcing may have gone too far.
> the most effective thing in terms of science per dollar

> muscling other science out of funding

But we don't need four LHCs. We do need a way of observing dim and distant infrared light with high resolution. There's no other instrument that can observe EM radiation from 13 billion years ago. So it's not one or the other; something like the JWST was going to be built sooner or later.
Even though I found these ideas to be more sensationalist than pragmatic but after watching that moneky drive that golf cat, I would say I am a believer. We have gone beyond giving direct insutructions to robots and gave them autonomous decision making abilities so, giving micro tasks and training concious animals seems equally possible.

CCP got apple over the barrel. All these companies talking principles is just smoke and mirrors
It definitely doesn't take 500 leetcode problems. If you have a solid grasp of algorithms, you can probably get by by grinding ~30 medium problems. If you're needing to do that many leetcode then you're basically solving on pattern recognition rather than understanding.

Japan’s favorite snack falls victim to global inflation in first ever price hike
That depends on how far back you go. 2005, sure, but by the time he was running he was pretty much in tune with the tone on Fox; most of the remaining moderate Republicans were purged as part of the post-9/11 turn towards previously extreme positions. A lot of the shock came from people who didn’t follow the right-wing media that closely and hadn’t realized how normalized those positions had become.
A billion butts? Do 10M Swedes really average 100 butts chucked into the environment?

Great idea though if it works, win-win for crows and people. Maybe we'll get articles about clever crows that import butts from neighboring areas to get paid.
Sounds lovely but limits competition and innovation, promoting oligopolies. I admire the nerve of "10% Procurement fee". Wait until there is a guideline that demands the use of GOV.UK Platform as a Service (PaaS) for the UK Public sector.
A sensible approach would have been a list of certified service providers and contact points for contracting.

Is there any good reason we can't simply mandate biodegradable cigarette filters?
Microsoft abandoned their own browser engine for business reasons. I feel like it should be obvious that what's "worthwhile" for a for-profit organization is very, very different than what's "worthwhile" for a non-profit, individual, or group of open-source developers; "affordable" isn't even in the picture.

This line of reasoning is entirely invalid.

No, it’s a straightforward question that I would be eager for you to answer. How do you manage to discern what Rogan outputs as nonsense while managing not to be polluted by it?

If it’s innate that would be interesting but it would be even better for us all if you would share your methods and then we could all benefit.

Bit disgusting, but I really despise all the cigarette butts even at the wildest locations.
I don't remotely understand how.

You literally can get good at leetcode with an hour a day for a couple of months provided you studied computer science or even just like took AP Computer Science in high school. And even that just requires an internet connection.
> One might also ask how one encodes motivational statements into a more formal spec.

Well, you can always add preambles or annotations that are not machine-readable.

If you really want to stay machine-readable, you could try to work with logical proposition languages, such as PROLOG. Also, I think goal trees (or goal DAGs) could be interesting. Something along the lines of "Our top-level is to help the user maintain invariant A. To archieve this, we implement features B, C, D. Feature B requires technical change E in service X while features C and D must be developed jointly and will require changes F and G in services X and Y..."

Of course something like this always looks vastly simpler than it actually is. I think in many cases, you'll be hard-pressed to even formulate a top-level goal in ordinary language. (Apart from the real goal: Someone from the C-Suite wants this feature)

The question also remains: What do you want to do with that machine-readable representation. The best representation will be strongly dependent on your use-cases - and formal languages without clear use-cases have a risk of devolving into cargo-cults and empty rituals. (See the whole navel-gazing around REST and HATEOAS)

Perhaps as a result of incorrectly classifying K8S or K8SaaS as a PaaS when it’s very far from it. Heroku offers the same - or better - devex without the operational burden.
Not all forms of slavery are equivalent. Cultural norms evolve to where European serfdom for example was a distinct institution. At the other extreme Caribbean sugar plantations had a ~50% mortality rate in the first year. US slaves where treated significantly worse than the average over history, though of course not the worst.
The company isn't held liable when employees insider trade. When employees engage in monopolistic behaviors, the company is more on the hook.
I moved into running development at my company two years ago - and one thing I quickly learned is that I had to do some level of skill verification with job applicants. Why? Because many of the applicants I was interviewing could breeze through anything non-technical, and would do well if we stayed on the happy path (i.e. show me things you've built, tell me how this function you built works). When I asked them simple questions like, what type will this python expression return (and yes there was -> int: in the signature, they would be incorrect.

So, I gave a few interviewees a code test, and they failed miserably. Mind you, nothing hard - it was a test can I give you a simple function to write, and can you 1) declare a function or class that accepts the right inputs, 3) does what the spec asks, and 3) has the correct output format. The test took 10 minutes to an hour, and was totally open book. The result was pretty staggering. 2/3 of developers would fail the test, and not for esoteric reasons. They would fail because they used the wrong boolean operator, make simple type-casting mistakes, or fail to return data in the correct type (i.e. return a string and instead return a bool or an int). When they failed, it wouldn't be just one thing, it would be two or three mistakes.

So, now I code test everyone, and it has nothing to do with your salary. If we expect you to program in your job, we will verify that you can actually string together 10-15 lines of code. I've only had a handfull of applicants call the test leetcode (I think it's a lot simpler than that), but the reality is there are just a lot of people who can't really code out there.
