We've maintained the core Cloud Foundry experience, and added value around the edge with service brokers, good documentation, support, app autoscaling (using the CF-blessed autoscaler, which doesn't come "in the box"), some additional metrics, and a couple other bits.
Right, it sucks, but EMR systems are private and not accessible for research by public entities.
Yes, it's not exclusively racism. But certainly includes it.
Maybe not; Spotify is famous for how little they pay artists for song plays. Most artists seem to think of it as a marketing channel like radio, not a revenue source.

Amazing, what a brilliant idea
On the plus side, many people are learning about a great novel now. I remember my High School had a rack for "Banned Books." We were encouraged to read them.

I wondered about using it for ML type stuff, but figured they have application or time limit restrictions.
I don't understand your comment, what was funny, I don't see them writing cheat unusually?
I don't think remote has anything to do with it
If a company does leetcode for remote jobs in 2022 it probably did it for "local" jobs pre pandemic.

It really depends on the company and country. Leetcode style is more prevalent in some countries then in other
Well, now that would depend on who's making the tunic. Is it a Armanicus? Or was it made by the fabled three stripe master, Adidacus?
I wonder what would have happened if instead of Neil Young it was Dua Lipa.
To be completely honest, I don't think this was a great deal for the users from the start. It seemed like Facebook prying on an uneducated, easily manipulated audience to increase their user base.

I know that I certainly wouldn't like my view of the internet to be delivered solely through Facebook's lens...
It used to be true with DAT tapes.

I've not seen it on LTO. Where I work we either had very large tape libraries, with 25+ drives in. We didn't have drive affinity, so if that happened I would get an alert.

The other team used to import bulk data by receiving tapes from all over london and beyond, there must have been thousands of drives writing and reading that data. Plus we didn't buy fresh tapes, and they were dropped, thrown, left in the cold/sun, all sorts.

I think LTO is pretty solid.
I don't think that much thought has been put into it IMO. It's cargo culting the google interview process, and no standout success since google has a very different interview process to cargo cult copy.

Google had this process because they are very academia inspired and want to hire the best academics, with a college campus but better work experience, because they had very high back end scale requirements, where algorithms do matter. They also had a shit ton of applicants and favored the false negative over the false positive, which they explicitly and publicly state. You might be able to argue that scale doesn't matter as much at google anymore, but google has no reason to change its process since it first established it, and back then they really had those hard scaling problems to scale up.

The reason why the software profession tends to have extensive interviews is because we don't trust credentialing or even prior experience. [0] We don't want to hire the unskilled bozo who can talk and have brand name credentials but when you actually put them to work find they are not that good at all. So we actually test their skill as directly as possible with various forms of work sample testing with as long as an interview process the market will tolerate, which has stabilized to 5 - 7 hours, or an entire working day.

The beauty of this is that you don't need to get into a med school equivalent with it's crazy requirements, spend 10 years-ish of training and go into 6 figures of debt, get a residency / hazing ritual in a few limit slots in the USA and can come from almost any poor background or country even and eventually make more than most surgeons. In that light, needing to spend 3 months to hard core leetcode doesn't seem so bad.

Cause of Lucy solar array deployment problem identified
I use Spotify for music first and foremost, their music catalogue is already smaller than apples. I really hope this doesn't become a trend.

I could care less about podcasts let alone THAT podcast.

Also Spotify, where is airplay 2? where is hifi? Your data analytics are cool but your core product is starting to fall behind
You seem to be confusing these promos you mentioned with the low income plans offered in other countries. They are unrelated.

These free plans don't have any data limits, they have site limits. You're only allowed to use certain sites otherwise you get charged. However, the phones themselves are supposed to identify this and keep you off those sites so you don't get a surprise bill. For some reason the free facebook app is leaking data from other IP address/Domains that aren't included in the free data plan. The ISPs are picking this up as non-free data usage and are charging customers.

Facebook needs to fix their crappy free version to stop this "leakage".
Nobody said anything about the fastest way to find a maximum value in an array. The comment you were replying to was just about finding a maximum value in an array. Idiomatic usage would presumably be a bonus but anything not ridiculously inefficient would be fine. This is absolutely something that someone building a CRUD app should know how to do without StackOverflow.
Your second guess is the correct one.
This is a bug in the LUKS2 header metadata that can trick the kernel to "recover and resume" an unsolicited decryption/reencryption process. Very hard to do because you need access to the drive and later someone to unlock the modified drive.

It as fixed bug, and a plausible scenario is if someone wants to decrypt a LUKS2 (in and old linux kernel system) which is auto unlocked by a TPM like device.
Two doctors and leaders in their field are being demonized by one political group.

How do you restart a single server hosting VMs with zero downtime to the VMs?
Not global, but I landed a high paying remote job without a LC-style interview. However, I did spend a lot of time studying data structures & algorithms for such an interview, and in this interview I was tasked with looking at existing code and explaining it. It happened to use an algorithm I had learned in my studying for LC, so it made things much easier to explain. Additionally, just the other day, I ended up using something on the job that I had learned in my LC studies in order to efficiently find duplicate items. It's simple, but I wouldn't have known to do this if I hadn't studied for it. I find it's been very well-worth my time. While preparing to get a job, I still put more hours into side projects.

Also, I don't really get what you mean by saying you don't want to practice because you know you'll be anxious. The whole point of practicing is to get rid of that anxiety. Companies like to see how well you can perform under pressure, and how well you can communicate through that. The LC is a small part of the interview in my opinion.
Had no clue who he was, but I commend him for this principled stance. How he'd have to be embarrassed for me not knowing who he is, I can't fathom. He also doesn't know who I am.

I don't think he expected Spotify to cancel Rogan, I do think he expected to raise awareness of Rogan's dangerous and anti-scientific medical nonsense, and he quite succesfully did that, at his own expense.

The embarrassment is with Spotify, who'd have very likely have cancelled Rogan right away had he been a nobody, an insignificant part of their business, spouting anti-scientific nonsense on their platform. Spotify chose the money. I'd probably have doen the same in Spotify's shoes, but they may at least be embarrassed about it, and Niel Young certainly doesn't. It was a matter of principles that you're downplaying to it ostensibly being a matter of it being a popularity contest.
U.S. Lessons from the Dutch Traffic Safety Revolution
"A radio transient with unusually slow periodic emission" sounds a lot better than "MYSTERIOUS OBJECT UNLIKE ANYTHING ASTRONOMERS HAVE SEEN BEFORE" (yes, the PR uses all-caps) to me.
Totally agree, being smashed by the wheel sounds dangerous.

The lack of oxygen for a long period though can have severe consequences or even kill someone.

That is at least in the mountain where you need more oxygen as you are moving but staying few hours in any condition at 30-40k feet still does seem a problem to me.

I don’t know any unvaccinated people who have gotten omicron. Every single one has been vaccinated, most have been fully boosted.

People need to understand COVID is not one thing. Delta was very different from alpha, omicron wildly different from Delta, etc… They all have spike proteins sure, but so does the vaxxx.
Some humans are capable of recalling every detail of their lives. That is an incredible amount of information that a human brain can store.

I don't suppose a 200yrs 'ordinary' old human would run into any problems with memory storage.
MMT is not, nor has it ever even the dominant ideology of those who are actually in control of monetary policy.

I know it’s a popular boogeyman, but it’s pure fantasy.
Nolo press has some good books on patent law that are oriented towards somebody who wants to file their own patent. This isn't about software patents in particular but it is an easy way to get necessary background if you want to understand patents in general. You can probably find one at your public library.

> At its best, a brainstorming group comes up with the same ideas as the group’s members would when working alone

I picked up on this as well. In 20+ years of a Software Career, the ideas that come out of a brainstorm are usually ones that started with one person, and then got amplified, enhanced, and generally made even "better" by others in the group.

So yes, if we think brainstorming provides nothing new, then there's no reason to do it, but I think the whole point is that it is a fairly efficient way to bring many ideas to the forefront and allow others to add their own refinements to them. Many times what appears to not be the best idea turns into that best idea with some refinement.

IANAE, but I'll say it's mostly seigniorage to fill up for the fiscal deficit.

And if you try to cut the money printer (without taking some.huge debt), you have to squash the deficit, which is mostly subsidies to electricity, gas and public transport, and non-contributive retirements. You can't, politically speaking (and maybe legally too), cut the retirements, so you have to cut the subsidies, which will increase the measured inflation, at least for a few months.
The DoD is huge. It's larger than most US states. Would you exclude Cerner's healthcare records systems? Fuji? Agfa? Would you exclude the Veteran's Administration hospitals? Would you exclude the agencies responsible for safe water, forestry, and sewage treatment plants on bases? Where, exactly, would you draw that line, and how would you ensure DoD is able to replicate your logic so as to end at the conclusions you expect?

An article can be as high-bandwidth as it needs to be to communicate clearly... When I read

> He turns 190 years old this year, making him the world’s oldest tortoise to ever live

I don't hear an implicit "known" in that. I hear a claim about Jonathan's being the oldest tortoise to ever live, and we have no idea if that's true.
Interesting! Facebook mostly runs behind Akamai right? Maybe there is a method of setting up a VPN that proxies your traffic through Akamai servers, e.g. through their serverless computing offering, that would similarly work.
This story makes me cringe. I hate this idea of saying I won't do business with you if you do business with this other entity. What if Neil Young was a much bigger profit source. Then Spotify would be in tough position.
There was another “I’m bad at math” thread a while back I stumbled across and drilling was considered basically the way to get good at math by most people posting.

… which is all the more reason I’ll never become good at math. I’d rather drill a hole in my head than subject myself to drilling back to back, contextless, boring problems I don’t care about.
The cdc’s definition of a breakthrough Covid case does not need symptoms. So no that’s not clear.

Your analogy doesn't really seem too similar to interviews. There will be more stress about getting fired and losing your income than potentially failing an interview which has no effect on your current income, since you still have your current job while interviewing, presumably.
I worked for a manufacturer of outdoor product with a short season. We didn't have warehouse space to hold an entire season of product and we did not have manufacturing capacity to build as needed so we used 180 day terms to let our customers buy throughout the year. It smoothed out the demand curve and was a win for everyone.
This article paints a pretty picture of how Argentine people manage persistent inflation, but reality in the interior of the country (ie not Buenos Aires) is much less clever and functional than what is depicted. Not everyone can buy peanut butter on credit. Rather than seeking arbitrage opportunities and investing in nonperishable goods, many people are fatigued by inflation. Some live hand to mouth. Shopkeepers don't always move their prices when the currency moves. The national bank publishes currency bid/offer numbers that falsify the offer side of the market for pesos. Surrounding nations have seen an influx of projects from Argentine investors who seek to take money into more functional economies.

Meanwhile, people in Argentina have cultural characteristics that I found surprising. The more bohemian people have an anti-work culture yet they blamed Macri and other capitalists for not having promptly repaired the damage done by leftist predecessors. Some indigenous groups enjoy receiving free seeds and ignore other factors that may affect their prosperity. When the country brought Kirchner back, the foreign investment community recoiled as evidenced by the overnight devaluation of the currency. Many strategic subsidies exist, and some people don't realize that subsidies and handouts in a nation that can't afford its debt service are not a sharing of wealth, but rather a cause of inflation. Past lockdowns of foreign exchange under Kirchner spooked outside investors, so in some industries such as mining, foreign companies tapered off their projects in mid-2019 when it became clear that Alberto/Cristina would take power.

Resigning yourself to weird survival tactics in a place where the economy doesn't function is not "a way of life." Argentina sustains itself because of its substantial domestic production (which insulates certain markets from exchange rates) and the fact that people depend on government handouts. Hoarding toothpaste may save a few bucks, but it's not paying the bills. The only other countries in the Americas with such a problematic currency situation are the ones facing economic sanctions.
That's as German as you get. I'm sure there is a German idiom for "that's how it's always been done and the change is someone else's fault" because that's the attitude. Had that a couple of times in shops. Business is bad because we're closed at peak times and that's the customer's problem. Business is bad because we don't accept cards and that's the customer's problem. Business is bad because our customers don't have fax machines these days and that's the customer's problem.

Recently I was with a German friend and she nearly fell on her ass when I showed her that you can actually pay at a car parking machine in the middle of nowhere with Apple Pay here in the UK.
There was absolutely no need to spin that. It was a straight up train wreck of an interview
If you have woodworking skills you could make a crude but working spinning wheel in about a week with crude tools. They are simple machines once you understand them, and most of it can be made crude and still work. The idea is what is hard not the construction which is why once one was made it spread fast. I suspect (I think Bret Devereaux would agree) that if the males who were allowed to be creative had thought about women's work at all they would have made one several thousand years before. I wouldn't be surprised is some unknown woman did create something close on her own but society norms meant it didn't spread (if this happened all evidence would have burned/rotted - Luddites of the day may have destroyed it and the inventor).

As a modern educated man I'd turn much of my attention to "women's work" first - in large part because there is low hanging fruit there that would make my life better. The spinning wheel and looms would be a great changer, and something I think just having seen one in a history museum and a few weeks to watch how women work would allow me to make things work, then a few months in the woods to make a prototype.

For "men's work" things are harder because society allowed smart men to think about improvements. Maybe I could create gunpowder, but I would prefer to focus my war efforts on a good defense. I know good steel has controlled amounts of manganese and carbon in it (I'm sure more than those two), but I don't know how to control those amounts and my visits to museums and chemistry classes haven't given me enough information to think I could create those from scratch. That is before we consider the amount of labor needed to get the ore. (though if metal is available I'd make a steam engine)

Note that the above assumes I end up in or near Europe. I have no idea if any of societies on the other continents could support the above efforts.
The sewing of sail fabric is something different. You need to use heavy duty needle and force it through the fabric. It is somewhat similar I would imagine as dealing with leather.

Wood work deals with big pieces comparatively.
>You mean his instinct is to let his guests speak and let the listeners make up their own mind? I wonder why Rogan is so popular.

If he hosted some kind of a salon with competing views where he never took a stance and just let the conversation unfold that might be the case, but he regularly injects himself and varying degrees of "information" into the conversation to color and steer it. Each guest is in a vacuum where for their time on his show where they're more or less unchallenged and unfettered by reality.

To be clear I don't think his show should be censored, but I think his fans need to be a bit more honest with themselves and others. He makes people feel safe to settle in and listen to bullshit, believe the bullshit, and then say "it's just entertainment, this isn't where I get my opinions - by the way let me fill you in on all my obviously Rogan informed opinions."
There's 'don't like' and then there's 'dangerous anti-scientific medical advice'. Can you appreciate there's a difference?
Quite horrendous but if you were at any point following the sub, most of the threads were in the same tone.
Will open banking payments go mainstream?
We ended up making use of hiring partners (basically consultancy companies) for this. They gave us access to a somewhat vetted candidate pool to interview from i.e. they could skip a tech test stage of an interview process.

Overall it has been a positive experience. It allowed us to scale up our engineering numbers relatively quickly. Potential cons to consider are the culture changes that come with it, the risk of outsourcing too much domain knowledge (direct vs. indirect hires) and potential time zone differences. It has also bought us time to focus on growing our direct hire count, which takes longer.
Authoritarians?
No, the other tortoise mentioned lived to 188.
That's correct. The original paper doesn't call it mysterious, just "unusual".
