> favored the false negative over the false positive, which they explicitly and publicly state

And willing to take false positives -- good at grinding for interviews, bad at actual work -- and just carry that dead weight forever in order to get the true positives who keep the money machine whirring along.

I've come to realize this is hard for many to swallow, but as much as it feels unfair -- just like only hiring from Stanford and MIT -- it was an enlightened business decision for Google. The cost of the dead weight is a rounding error on some distant Sheet, and the opportunity cost of the false negatives can't be measured anyway.
I love this whole premise, is there a name for this genre of fiction?
It is a fixed bug. Your target needs to be an outdated Linux distro.

In a current one or patched one, is more likely to have a non-vulnerable LUKS2 volume that you can not downgrade to a vulnerable one, or a kernel and userspace tools non-vulnerable to the metadata manipulation even for a LUKS1 volume.

I concede the plausible scenario of replacing the kernel to a vulnerable one, if you ha access to the drive (by external OS boot or get the hardware) and replacing the kernel on the usually unencrypted boot partition along modifying the LUKS2 metadata of the encrypted volume. Not a quick local or remote feat to do. Not doable on an encrypted boot volume or signed boot files (secure boot thingy). Sincerely, if you have that kind of access, it is easier to modify the initramfs file to grab the LUKS key.
CircleCI Down Again
Advertising-funded adult sites are extremely common, though. If you have adult content and want a site to host your content and share ad revenue with you, you have lots (lots!) of choice. The problem is that there's a lot less money available to people funded by sex toy ads on PornHub or whereever than there is to people who sit behind Liberty Mutual ads on Youtube.

So SexyCyborg would, unsurprisingly, prefer to be on youtube. But she's also dancing on the edge of what people call "adult" (again, I'm presenting no personal opinion here: take it up with Liberty Mutual if you don't like the definition). So naturally she's going to have trouble with those boundaries. PornHub never would have kicked her off, but she doesn't want to be on PornHub.

It's all about money here, not freedom. That was my point.

No need. Jessie Waters basically sat back and let the person dig their own grave.
Very cool! I vaguely recall the name TriDoor. I became a door author in the very late days of the scene (late 90s into early 00s, as most boards started transitioning from dialup to telnet). I opted for C++ though and purchased a copy of the excellent OpenDoors door kit so I never had to worry about the DOS comms side of things myself :)

My games were also multi-user, the most popular being a MUD that eventually ran on a few hundred boards. Developing a MUD that could run as a DOS-based BBS door game was pretty challenging, since each user had their own copy of the exe running (due to how doors inherently worked), but DOS didn't provide IPC primitives.

So I shunted all real gameplay processing to a single one of those processes (whoever entered the game first) and the others just communicated with that one via shared append-only files. If that player exited the game, there would be a brief pause while the next lowest node number took over gameplay processing. I don't remember what happened if that next-lowest-node player also left at the exact same time, but probably the game froze/crashed, lol.

I later ported my engine to Win32 using a more sane architecture (multi-threaded background process using real win32 IPC to communicate with the door processes), but like you I rapidly lost interest in the BBS world before doing much with it.
Pretty much always, yes.

Very cool!

One minor improvement here; if the user has toggled colorblind mode on, then their tweeted result will also have altered color blocks. Orange for right letter right place, and blue for right letter wrong place.
What dangerous, anti-scientific medical advice has Joe Rogan given?
This is the right target to hit, I think I've met the first two point but, there is still many things to do.

Now I only have to upgrade my copywriting skills to pass better the message.

What I noticed is, since the project is an open-source App, that is way easier to show the App in person instead of writing about it.

I'm looking to events to be a speaker more than anything
>Doesn't the T420 lack USB 3 though?

It does but fwiw the T420s has one. I'm pretty sure you can get Express Card USB 3 ports too.

>even with the "good" 900p screen it wasn't very good with awful viewing angles

Very true. Fortunately it's a simple procedure to replace the panel with a cheap 1080p one from Aliexpress. Make sure you get the controller too.

Isn't that like saying the weirdo luring kids with candy in a playground is giving the kids options because they'll probably enjoy the candy?!

I'd rather not take the candy.
I did install it, but it's much more clunky. It doesn't update live, it opens in the browser instead of zim and after a while i figured out it didn't show everything, but stopped a about 5 nodes from the main current one. The graph is also pretty ugly.

Maybe they improved it since, but the Zim graphing capabilities just didn't even compare to foam's last time I tried it.
I live in lower Manhattan. Stores here aren't particularly cheap, but I haven't done a thorough comparison. Even if the stores were cheaper, the time savings would cover a pretty big difference. Having kids certainly increases the value of time.
You get to see their standards when you interview with them. You are free to decline their offer if you feel that the bar was too low, and maybe their engineers write bad code. On the other hand, they do not know the standards of the company you came from.

Not at all the same, and only a minor annoyance but a new twitter account i made a few days ago just disappeared completely with no notice or reason. I think it maybe got flagged as a bot not sure. I made it, added my real name, a picture, and followed a bunch of people I knew. Then "account not found" like two days latter but I was able to remake the same exact account. Feel a bit gaslighted. did I just imagine making it lol?
Why is "probability of killing someone", much less probability of killing specific people, a metric that the car should be calculating in the first place? By the time a car has gotten to these type of no-win no-safe-fail scenarios, you have massively screwed up and are way beyond the design space and can no longer take assumptions for granted. If the probability of sudden total brake failure is high enough to be designed for then the correct answer is to add more hardware for redundant emergency brakes, not to add software to mitigate damage from the insufficient braking system.

I feel like this whole topic is basically media click bait, that some software engineers with little hardware experience latch onto because it seems edgy. The answer, like many things in life, is to set aside the abstraction and question the assumptions.
Even stranger:

I would say it is the other way around.

Stephen Jay Gould's "Mismeasure of Man" appears to be defensive of minorities for protective colorization. The real problem Harvard has is that it is flooded with legacy admissions who couldn't test their way out of a paper bag -- people like Gould get funding because their work supports the interest of those people. By saying it is about minorities they get support from the general public.

Standardized testing is a path to opportunity for poor people and other outsiders to demonstrate their talent. It's true that some rich people can improve their results by spending money, but also true that some of them are as dumb as a post and the only way they are going to beat standardized tests is bring in a ringer to take the test for them.

In every other aspect of education rich people are much more able to "achievement launder" and use their parents money and connections to appear to punch above their weight. Standardized tests can keep the bottom 40% of those people out.
Sailing Solo Around the World Inspired Anti-Whining 'Care Ware'
I think the reason most word problems suck is that they're manufactured abstractions on the same problems elsewhere on the worksheet--which seems to be your critique.

In real life, a lot of those situations are hidden, but there are often multiple correct ways to approach the problem and hopefully some intuition will help you if you're too far off track. 2/3rds of 3/4ths of a cup of cottage cheese shouldn't be more than one cup and shouldn't be a tiny amount, either. (I also don't see a problem with people who scooped it onto the table). Similarly to the woodworker (elsewhere in this thread) trying to evenly measure out where 3 legs on a stool would go.
No, the difference is opposite from what you say: Neil Young is the one portraying himself as something he is not: a person who supports freedom.

While Joe Rogan frequently calls himself an idiot (meaning it in the sense that we are all idiots about certain topics, but especially him since he often covers topics that are new to him) while bringing in smart people with opposing views and learning from them.

One of these people is representing himself more honestly than the other, and it’s not who you think.

And there is and should be no rule that all discussions of important topics need to be academically rigorous as defined by you.
I recently realized what a big opportunity this is. Thousands of different cryptocurrencies. Staking, lending, and who knows what. Layers of wallets. And every person needs to do those taxes.

This company could be bigger than the entire tax prep industry combined. They could be the white label IRS for Switzerland or any country that ends up taking crypto taxes seriously.

Unfortunately they also are heavily disincentivized to lobby for bitcoin being a currency/not taxed, as they have a lot to lose there.
He made no difference between himself and the state. Used the AG as his personal lawyer. Used his position to secure personal business dealings. And then tried to orchestrate a coup when he lost.

He’s not literally the devil but he’s both so incompetent and corrupt that I’m frankly baffled there is such fervent support for him.
Which means it is not an accurate description as most agencies are not hostile to one another or uncooperative, its just that they are independent and have (sometimes) competing goals. They have no requirement to work together, but some are realising that there are benefits to doing so.
"They will actually save more until there is mass unemployment"

This is pop psychology and there is ample counter-evidence for it.

World War 2 was not caused by monetary policy! A hypothesised, partial cause that Hitler certainly exploited was crippling debts. But that wasn't solvable by economists. Do you think the allied powers that defeated Germany in WW1 would have sat back and tolerated Germany inflating away its war debts?
I cannot wait for the immensity of it's experience in my meta quest
Pass, wasn't privy to the financials on this one.

What I do know is that for various reasons we struggled with direct hires and needed to grow quickly. So I guess the numbers somehow worked in its favour.
No. One of the reasons those leetcode interviews happen is because existing credentials, such as a bachelor's degree, don't work. Adding another one that some hirers will value highly and others will be skeptical of doesn't solve anything.

What we really need is for companies to stop trying so hard to find the absolute best most perfectest candidate that they screen out huge numbers who could have done the job but who missed some arbitrary keyword or coding test by a fraction.
Wikipedia and irregular data: how much can you fetch in one expression?
I'd be inclined to agree, but my 16gbps i5 520m compiles Rust just fine. Small and medium-sized desktop applications aren't constrained by bandwidth as much as they are CPU-bound.

I could easily imagine AI model training blowing up a memory bus, but every machine that isn't an M1 Pro or M1 Max is going to delegate that to a dGPU that is bound by PCIe bandwidth, not memory. Even then, properly-optimized CUDA programs will calculate most of the work on your GPU itself, constraining you to the 300-something gbps that your GPU is capable of.

Regardless, neither of these workloads are something that I'd imagine the average Macbook user doing on a regular basis. The only "real world" workload I can imagine that would exercise it is insanely high-res video encoding, which again, is only really going to be taken advantage of by a handful of users.
K8s makes small-scale hard, but large-scale easy. So no, for a 10 user app you probably won't need it, and would make your life a lot harder.

But one of the things many people don't grasp is that scale comes in a few forms. The obvious everyone thinks about is the millions of users thing, but from what I've seen, that's not the most important-one that k8s enables - it's the organisational thing. Enabling self-servicing for a dozen+ dev-teams, having to manage 20+ totally different applications or just a microservice platform?

That's where it becomes more practical to think about Kubernetes, because it forces the applications (and everybody involved) to streamline things, and you have to treat it as cattle, not pets. Metrics, logging, monitoring, failover, zero-downtime upgrades, scaling, managing secrets, network policies, auditing and security, platform upgrades, even the "replace & scrap" kind become WAY easier to manage by a very small team of people if they know what they're doing (that's another subject though).
I mean, I dunno what to tell you but when they start opening up emergency ICU capacity being down 30% of nurses (accepting your premise for the sake of argument) doesn't help but it's not the core problem. The problem is people getting sick with severe illness due to covid, and that is largely unvaccinated people.

Severe outcomes stretch the system more, and unvaccinated people have more severe outcomes.

At any rate, if those nurses weren't vaccinated it's likely more than 30% would be out and a significant portion of them would be dead, so if you want to go down the "vaccines make people sick/more likely to be sick" path then you've just fallen off the rails. The path you have in mind would be a mass death event our medical systems are completely unequipped to handle.
Advice from somebody currently job searching in the UK:

1. Post your jobs on LinkedIn and Glassdoor. Any other website is basically pointless (maybe HN's Who is Hiring? at the beginning of the month can get you some attention too) because people only search on these, and any other website is flooded only with job ads from consultancies and recruitment agencies so yours won't pop up.

2. Add your salary ranges in your job's description, otherwise you will get people that apply expecting more than you can offer and you waste both of yours time (I've been told this by companies during the interview, they wanted to make sure I saw the ranges and it fits with what I expect).

3. Replace your "take home challenge" with a "live coding session" (if you have one). This will attract older people that are married/have kids which usually can't set aside 4 hours during the evenings or weekends even if they wanted too, due to family responsibilities. This will show them you respect them, so you can spin it up as a "benefit" of applying. If you can detail the entire job interview process in the job post and how long it takes, then even better!

4. You're in Tewkesbury, engineers probably want to be in London, so let them know you offer a WeWork office in there too, if they need it. Otherwise your location is going to put off many people.

5. Make sure you actually answer when somebody sends you an email with an application, or questions. Many don't, be better than them. If you don't have an email address where people can send you questions then make one, or allow them to send you messages "InMail" on LinkedIn.

6. Please don't ask about previous salary, or personal details like sexual orientation or things like this during the interview process, like those creepy Greenhouse job application forms. I can't believe this is not illegal in the UK. If somebody at your company does this currently, tell them not to anymore.

That being said, if you had any jobs related to Ruby on Rails with a possibility to transition to Engineering Management in the next 1-2 years, I would have applied.
I doubt it would go to court the vast majority of the time, even for public facing sites, but especially not for internal facing.
Joe Rogan would still be pulling in millions without the Podcast: MMA commentary, stand up comedy tours, and whatever residuals he has. If Spotify let him go, he would just be back on Youtube tomorrow, with arguably a larger audience than he has on spotify, because youtube is free.
There are political liabilities to the printing press.
Also curious how this is possible
It appears that you doctored my quote somewhat, hm?
It applies actually. I forgot to explain why Kubernetes solves a simplified version of the problem.

The simplification is that you can build a distributed operational system completely hiding the fact that you have millions of computers. This is, let’s say freacking hard.

But you can build one where this fact is not hidden, just alleviated. This is only super hard. This is what Kubernetes does.

Also you can break those millions of computers in small groups of thousands. This is what Kubernetes is aimed for. But you can still make those groups work together, using external tools, like load balancers and global dns zones and networks.

UPDATE:

a very interesting explanation of the problem and the solution used by Borg and kubernetes is on this lecture. https://youtu.be/0W49z8hVn0k It’s quite insightful and easy to understand actually.
Anti capitalism and pro "socialism" aren't actually hard indicators of marxism, believe it or not. There has been so much political distortion that circles who use those terms are, more often than not, filled with liberals rather than marxists.

And often times that's what some of us call the synthetic left. Groups of so called leftists lead by think tanks, NGOs or even historically by intelligence agency agents whose sole purpose is to spread disinfo, deradicalize or confuse people all while using a radical aesthetic.
I honestly think it's because he doesn't like Spotify and Joe Rogan is his straw man excuse for leaving.

The numbers are so different that it doesn't matter very much how you compare. It would be different if only 5% of unvaccinated people contract the disease, or if the vaccine reduced the likelihood of infection by only 5%.
Can California continue to do it? They have lost enough people they are loosing a representative in the House. Companies are bailing out at a record rate. They are bleeding high wage earners at an even more alarming rate.

People assuming CA will always be "big enough" to keep doing brain dead things will one day wake up to find that is no longer true. Nor as far away as they would also like to assume.
Some Prolog systems (like Ciao Prolog https://github.com/ciao-lang/ciao/blob/master/core/lib/forei...) implement bidirectional foreign interfaces. Once you have C bindings it is easy to write bindings from Rust, C++, or any other language (that can interoperate with C). I give here some details about Ciao because this is the system I know better but it should be similar for other popular Prolog implementations.

The tradeoffs depend on the complexity of the Prolog code and your needs for performance and features: pure LP, Prolog (search+unification+cut), garbage collection, dynamic database updates, constraint domains, etc. The Ciao Prolog engine is around 300-400KB. Adding a few libraries, compiler, etc. it goes to 2MB. Naive Prolog systems can be one order of magnitude smaller at the cost of sacrificing ISO compatibility, performance, etc. Note that "performance" can be very misleading. Some Prolog programs may run particularly fast in some Prolog system and very badly in others.

You don't need to. Let the results speak for themselves.
Yeah. My partner got a moderately severe skin rash after her Moderna vaccine. She tried to report it but was ignored by everyone. Now it finally comes out that Moderna can cause severe skin rashes...
That is entirely not true - no one remembers every detail of their life. As for the ones who do, you can do a fairly good impression thereof by simulating reliable synesthetic associations.
According to [0] attacks from a cold device require two steps of physical access. That would bypass signed contents of a boot partition, since you're messing with unprotected LUKS header contents.

If the contents of the boot partition are unsigned there are probably easier attacks available. You could, for instance, deploy a kernel with crafted reencryption logic baked in over the default boot kernel. That wouldn't require this vulnerability, because the victim will be typing the passphrase into the attacker's (unprotected) kernel from /boot.

So by your logic every media member, fauci, and even the president is dangerous. They made a lot of serious claims that the data showed were completely false. Here are just a couple.

Masks aren't effective
You wont need more than 2 vaccinations
There are 0 side effects
You cannot get covid if you are vaccinated
You cannot get hospitalized from covid if you are vaccinated
You cannot die from covid if you are vaccinated
There will never be vaccine mandate
Covid natural immunity is worse than the vaccine

All these things were false when they said them and are still false today. Furthermore at the time they were said the actual data said the opposite.

Seems to me they way more dangerous than Rogan as they are supposed to be sources of trust to the American people but instead are just making up stuff to fit their political narrative. IMO if these so called sources of trust didn't straight up lie to the public for 2 years, Rogan would not be able to sway so many people.
Ask for your money back?
> dangerous anti-scientific medical advice'

That sounds like an opinion. One that lacks substance and likely couldn't actually be proven as stated, but an opinion I'm happy you can express openly. I'm also appreciative of other opinions I hear on Joe's show, and others. Can you appreciate that building up a false dichotomy and then asking someone if they can spot the difference is disingenuous?
> he shouldn't get a seat on the table

I'd probably agree with that, depending on the reason for gathering around the table.

If the topic is professional fighting or podcasting, he belongs there. If the topic is immigration policy or foreign affairs, he probably shouldn't be invited.

Is there anybody who deserves a seat at every table or, conversely, at no tables?
