> I wonder what sort of interview questions one can ask to filter out people like this?

I specifically ask what people's technology preferences are and what they don't want to work with, then follow up with why. If they into these technologies for hype based reasons- or seem overly negative or dismissive of other technologies without solid reasoning, I gather that they are the equivalent of a fashion victim or a superfan of some pop group. These people can be extremely annoying to have around, as they try to steer every discussion into one about why their preferred technology is not being used to solve every problem.

How did your ranking on the property ladder change with that move? If you moved from a middle decile to the top, that would make sense. I would guess that there are enough zillionaires in New York that everyone else gets to pay less.
Practically speaking for most people, the effect that buying a home has is replacing their rent payment with a monthly mortgage payment. While it's still probably the single largest payment made in a month, it's (hopefully) not a majority of your income, or even spending. Plenty of folks pay more for say, child care now.
i'd expect it to be much like imessages/facetime on apple products. it can use an email username or a telephone number. the telephone number predominates (because it also does sms/mms), but either can be used on any apple product.
How about no ph number and only UUIDs- You send a msg that only personA can decrypt - but you broadcast the encrypted message to all contacts /+ random UUIDs ... So signal doesn't know who it was intended for exactly, and only personA gets the information. Of course you'd want the app to only alert users getting the broadcast once a received comm is successfully decrypted, otherwise discard.

It's clearly a lot higher data overhead, but that'd acheive phone numberless accounts without signal knowing 100% A is talking to B.... Only that 'A' might be talking to 'B'..Or C..or D.. Or sending decoy msgs intended for nobody.

Settling for phone numbers on a privacy based messenger because it's too hard to do an alternative implem is a cop out I feel. What do you think of the above proposal?

I've used both in a professional capacity.

Vue botched their upgrade path to Vue 3 and now it's stuck in a similar limbo to Python 2/3. They "released" Vue 3 long ago but basically none of the ecosystem including officially supported libs like the Vue-Router/Vuex was ready and now a long time later many are still using Vue 2 because the ecosystem still hasn't caught up. The docs for Vue 3 when it was "released" were not good at all.

I used to host a Vue meetup and was originally excited for Vue 3, but most of the people I talk to who use Vue in their projects are still stuck on Vue 2 and have no plans of upgrading due to most UI libraries still not being ready.

Even though there is a core team now, it seems Evan himself has been less focused on Vue and moreso on Vite and tooling in general lately. I don't complain much because I love Vite, and no longer use Vue but I do know some Vue devs who are losing confidence.

---

I use React daily and at the very least they have rarely if ever broken backwards compatibility without being very fair on the ecosystem in terms of the time needed to upgrade, and releasing experimental versions for people to test/play with. Both are similar when it comes to dev experience, both have dev-tooling and editor integration. Though TS support for Vue was always lacking behind React. "Vetur" which is the VSCode/Editor extension to get good support for .vue files worked well enough until your project grew beyond mid to large in size at which point it slowed to a crawl for every dev on my team. Didn't have this problem with React. I think there is a new extension for Vue nowadays though.

Some of this is obvious a side-effect of there being many more devs working with React daily both in a hobby and professional capacity than Vue though.

The US is also in the unfortunate position where it has to inject liquidity precisely because the globe demands dollars. Not doing so causes recession as banks and others are reluctant to release their dollars for use.

Frankly I think from an economic standpoint we’d be better off not being the reserve currency.

Note that there are other reserve currencies such as the Pound, Euro, and Yen. A reserve currency is simply what banks tend to hold in reserve. Most large international banks will hold multiple reserve currencies. The USD is just the one that’s in the most demand.

The investment is to make the RISC-V CPUs in Intel foundries. It's actually quite in line with Intel's current strategy of opening their fabs to external CPU designers.

As for the "threat" of RISC-V to Intel, I don't think it's quite as big as the ARM one so they might want to boost RISC-V in an attempt to fragment the mobile market where ARM is king.
I jumped on the React bandwagon because I didn't like the Typescript support in Vue 2, and did not see much improvements for V3. Vscode Vetur was slow and unable to do full typechecking in Vue files. Much of my code was based on Vue Class Components, which was not going to be compatible with the new API. Vuex did not seem to be going in the Typescript direction either. A bit sad if you consider Vue 3 is written in Typescript.
Generally in math, they call hypotheses "conjectures," and proofs are similar to results.
The monitor has three USB-C ports on the back. I have a couple of tiny USB-C to USB-A adapters in my backpack. No dongle, just an adapter that connects between the A cable and the C port. However, I am using the adapters less and less. I only bought USB-C peripherals for the last 2-3 years.

Yeah I'm a little upset about this. It is just set up for birthday problems. I'd be happy if it was you handing out a random string or 1-time code and then you pick a username per chat. But a global username identifier isn't anonymous (not any more than a phone number anyways) and I do not believe is a good solution.

Vaccines reduce transmission.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.27.21268278v...

> We found an increased transmission for unvaccinated individuals, and a reduced transmission for booster-vaccinated individuals, compared to fully vaccinated individuals.

And their definition of unvaccinated includes partially vaccinated (1-shot) and probably includes recovered individuals. See table 2 for their results which finds that boosters do significantly reduce transmissibility and susceptibility, but it is just very far from the perfect effect everyone would have hoped and wished for.

Vaccines are probably still more effective than masking in preventing transmission (given the average person's adherence to masking guidelines) and the effect would intuitively (to me anyway) seem likely to stack.
Was about to reply with the link to the project. If anyone is curious about sha2 highly highly recommend to go thorough the project. Jack did an amazing job explaining everything step by step. Writing the code really helps to understand all the concepts much better.
In my experience, I've found Vue to be a lot easier to learn and to teach to others. I can task a junior developer with a new feature in Vue, and generally speaking, the biggest changes are to simply break large components up into smaller ones.

The single-file components are really nice. You still have separation of concerns, but everything is organized in once place.

The config-style components might be something some devs don't like (boilerplate code), but I find it a lot easier to quickly scan a new component and understand what's going on. Easy to identify the component's private data, computed values, child components, etc. In React or Angular (or Vue 3's new syntax), these different types of data could be anywhere in the file.

Being able to choose TS or JS in a component file has saved me a lot of time. I can set very strict tsconfig rules for files that benefit from typing, and simply use JS when I'm prototyping a feature or I require some library that doesn't have good TS support.

And finally, the developer experience is top-notch. Excellent browser dev-tools extension, ESLint rules help avoid common problems and confusing code (and a lot of them are auto-fixable), and I've never had an easier time with hot reloading than with Vue (HMR still doesn't work out of the box in Angular 13, and apparently it was a major focus of the last release).

I've given ~50 system design interviews. Personally, I'm looking for a combination of problem solving and collaboration skills. I am not particularly concerned about the quality of the system they have designed by the end of the interview, I'm more interested in:

- whether they understand an issue when I try to "poke a hole" in their design

- whether they can quickly synthesize that problem into a possible solution (even if it isn't the best solution) and what the tradeoffs of the solution are

- how easy it is for me to understand the solution as they're explaining it

Essentially, I am testing their ability to contribute in a technical design discussion while remaining humble and open minded.

I admit it would also be nice to test their ability to actually design a good system, but rating someone on their ability to do that in a reasonable time frame seems far too fraught with biases around what "good" is or the degree of familiarity with the domain.
I said "every" because even some of the best work science has done, General Relativity and the Standard Model, were to my understanding an incompatible set of theories.

I did a bit of brief Googling, and it looks like some of that has been resolved and it isn't seen as totally incompatible anymore, but even that's not locked down as of yet.

The Wikipedia page is kind of a mess, but I'll link it here for others to save you a few clicks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_beyond_the_Standard_Mo...

Of note, it looks like there's a debate ongoing even within the citations about compatibility/non-compatibility, which I've never seen before on a Wikipedia page (I've done some light editing to separate out the relevant quotes from their related citations to improve readability):

> "One can find thousands of statements in the literature to the effect that "general relativity and quantum mechanics are incompatible". These are completely outdated and no longer relevant. Effective field theory shows that general relativity and quantum mechanics work together perfectly normally over a range of scales and curvatures, including those relevant for the world that we see around us. However, effective field theories are only valid over some range of scales. General relativity certainly does have problematic issues at extreme scales. There are important problems which the effective field theory does not solve because they are beyond its range of validity. However, this means that the issue of quantum gravity is not what we thought it to be. Rather than a fundamental incompatibility of quantum mechanics and gravity, we are in the more familiar situation of needing a more complete theory beyond the range of their combined applicability. The usual marriage of general relativity and quantum mechanics is fine at ordinary energies, but we now seek to uncover the modifications that must be present in more extreme conditions. This is the modern view of the problem of quantum gravity, and it represents progress over the outdated view of the past."

I go into many reasons why big-5 (and personality psychology in general) might be a pseudoscience in a nibling comment. Here I would like to add that what you might have seen big-5 proponents do to grit (a trait from positive psychology), other fields of psychology (such as cognitive psychology, neuroscience, social psychology, behavioral psychology, etc.) does to personality psychology (and psychometrics in general).

I’m not aware of any debunking claims in particular, but skepticism is plenty, and the usual accusations range from pseudoscience to poor science.

In my opinion the worst critics go into an alternative theory of personality traits, e.g. 7 axis instead of 5 or neurotism is actually something else etc. These are attempts to debunk big-5 and in my opinion they always fall short. It doesn’t take long for proponents of big-5 to debunk these critics as the statistics behind the theory of big 5 is solid. Personality tests are robust and they consistently yield 5 disjoint axis in cluster analysis.

A better criticism goes into the foundation of the theory, attacks the fact that personality (and the personality traits) are operationally defined with little evidence they exist outside of the models. The behavior that personality tests claim to predict often have better correlation to non-personality traits, such as your brain dopamine levels, class, education or economic status, anxiety or depression, prior stimuli and response etc. Behavior is better predicted by looking at the person not how the person responds on a piece of paper. Their tests might be robust, but their science is lacking.

I’m not a believer in personality traits in general, neither “grit” nor “agreeableness”. To me the findings of any psychometrician is unremarkable at best and racist at worst (See Stephen J. Gould (1996) “The Mismeasure of Man”). In a given situation how you respond is never dictated by your personality traits. If it explains any variability behavior the effect size is hardly ever significant, and if it is there are probably other factors—not measurable with questionnaire—will explain it better.
Not necessarily.

You weren't a rube at all, that view of capitalism as being characterized by competitive markets is popular and the result of Milton Friedman style ideas being almost propagandized from the 80s onward.

His points in the book however do basically go back to Schumpeter who argued the same thing. That oligopolistic markets in which outsized firms earn excess profits, are significantly more dynamic than overly competitive market economies.

I think you mean "retaliation"? Regardless, unclear if you'd win that, and during the many months while you're litigating this, you still have no access to your Google account, unless you can get the judge to order Google to at least temporarily give you access while the court case is being worked out.

All of this is far from certain, and I would certainly understand someone not wanting to assume the risk. I definitely wouldn't. And that's yet another thing that sucks about this: Google isn't accountable here because they hold so much power over our digital lives.
Not an economist either, but your analogy to software made me think. If you had a piece of software that ran for 100 years and only crashed every few decades, presumably the people maintaining the code would have retired and handed it off to other people at least 5 or 6 times. The maintainers still in place with a memory of the last crash might have some idea how to avoid another one, but as the ranks get filled by people who don't remember, they're more prone to careless errors, or think they can execute tweaks or drive the system harder than it can be driven. Or they don't fully understand something and think it can be removed for the sake of expedience, without realizing why it was there.

So rather than a problem in the code, it may be a problem in the nature of maintaining and updating it.
I consider it evil to manufacture a false statement to slander someone you disagree with. He never said women shouldn't vote.

What he actually said:

The 1920s were the last decade in American history during which one could be genuinely optimistic about politics. Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron.

> He would be far richer today if he had just let his investment in Meta ride

You mean if he had had a crystal ball, which absolutely nobody on the planet possesses.

Hyper concentrating your wealth in a highly risky investment, is not a good investment strategy. In the absence of a crystal ball, he made a very reasonable choice to cash the Facebook position out given his exposure to numerous other high-risk tech-related positions.

Bill Gates would be richer if he had never sold a share of Microsoft, and it would have similarly been a really bad approach to personal wealth management. That doesn't mean Gates wasn't interested in the money (for his goals, the more money the better), it means he was acting rationally, prudent, in diversifying.

These replies about "uniqueness" are in response to me disclosing I use a text-only browser or some non-graphical client to access websites. Why should "uniqueness" matter to me. As I said, I am just trying to avoid the annoyances of graphical web browsers. I am successful in doing that.

The majority of web use for me is not shopping. Why should I use the same browser for shopping that I use for recreational web use.

As for YouTube, this has been brought up many times. I cannot speak for other users, but I see zero ads when using YouTube. I search and download videos from the command line. With very few exceptions I never need to use youtube-dl because the signature values are already in the web page. There is no need for a "Javascript video player" to submit HTTP requests. The Javascript-enabled behavioural tracking on the YouTube website is insane. I use tiny shell scripts to search and download. I am aware of "SponsorBlock" which suggests some videos have ads embedded in them however I have never seen such a video. Most videos I watch are non-commercial.

"Click-fraud" is IMO secondary to fraud on the part of Big Tech and Big Tech wannabes who induce advertisers to purchase online advertising knowing, but not adequately disclosing, that it suffers from such inherent technical flaws.
