One of the beat ways to tell really peoficient foreign speaker of, in my case, German isn't the accent (as some people don't have one anymore) but a too perfect Grammar usage, either in writing (less obvious) or speaking (clear as day). I yried one of the German grammar tests of my son, and failed miserable, despite being a native speaker. My wife isn't, and she's so much better in German grammar then I am.

The gist: Don't worry too mich, just use the language. Most people are than delighted to meet a foreigner trying to speak their language.

The parent asserted that Nazis are evil. While I'm sure there is a range of behaviors that constitute "evil" I don't think a drone assassination campaign in any way compares to the deliberate and systematic attempt to remove all members of certain groups (i.e. Jewish people, among others) from Earth.
I know this sounds flip, but it is a piece of anecdata worth considering. In my thirties I had a very good-looking girlfriend from Poland who spoke no English. I literally ended up speaking Polish conversationally within six weeks using ad hoc methods (mostly carrying around a Polish/English dictionary and a phrasebook at all times). Certain, ah, motivations can impel us more than others…

I didn't understand what you meant first, clicking on my back arrow on the physical mouse, or the go back icon in the browser and Firefox would go back like expected. Then I tried Alt+Left arrow on the keyword, and it didn't work! But it wasn't just not going back, like when you have a "too many history.pushState()" bug that fucks it up for you. Instead it went to the bottom of the page. Then I noticed it was selecting some block in the bottom right and that it also happens when you just press left arrow on the keyboard without Alt.

So TLDR: bug with some selection/focus thing on the Notion page. Poor execution, I rate their implementation of "static notebook HTML pages" 7/10.

In many post-apocalyptic stories, people are using whatever vehicles they can find for as long as they can last. The point of the question is similar -- how can you use whatever computers you can power for as long as they last? I'm not talking about rebuilding fab plants and stuff first; I'm talking about using the millions/billions of devices that are still around and working, and making them do something useful.

They wouldn't, because it wouldn't solve any problem for them. The current Ukraine government is friendly towards the US and the neonazi militias were doing the job of suppressing insurgents, largely with support from said government. The US had more than a little influence in the replacement of the previous, Russia-friendly government.

There's evidence that economic sanctions destablizie the specific leaders of countries they target, even if they do not affect direct regime change.[0] I don't think it's propaganda to say that's the goal of sanctions; I think the argument that the sanctions will definitely work is propaganda/tough talk on the part of the US. Candidly, I think much more severe consequences than unilateral sanctions would be necessary to actually stop this invasion at this point. However, given that Putin is the driving force behind this invasion, it makes sense to take measures that are designed to get rid of him.

If I understand the parent's argument, it's not that there are alternatives - it's that the actual goal of sanctions is to "rachet up" to more aggressive responses, possibly including military responses. I don't disagree that they can have this effect, but I really don't think that's the direction the US wants to go right now.
Agreed. It's sad how many SRE candidates are positioning themselves as senior and end up being someone with basically nothing more than surface level knowledge of AWS manages services.

I have a relatively similar approach as the article:

1. I have them walk me through a production dockerfile and explain what is going on (it is not a very complex dockerfile).

2. I have them troubleshoot a broken web server with the most basic scenario (public web server that we run, ec2 with apache2, public ip, no load balancers, no cdn, just a VM serving a static html page on xyz.actualdomain.com).

Things that are broken:

1. NXDOMAIN (I make sure to unset the DNS before the interview)

2. Security group isn't allowing 80/443

3. NACL isn't allowing egress

4. iptables isn't allowing 80/443

5. Apache2 is stopped

6. Apache2 is bound to 127.0.0.1:80/443

7. Self signed TLS

I don't require specific incantations, I know I can't write the iptables insert without looking up an example. But I do expect candidates to know where and what to look for to troubleshoot the entire chain. They are allowed to run any command they want (I'm running it on a screen share). If they get stuck on a portion, they get some hints, then finally they get given the answer to get past it. My goal is not a gotcha, my goal is to see how they attack the problem and if they are at least familiar with how things can break and have guesses at fixes.

Fully a third of interviewees get stuck on NXDOMAIN, which is just shocking to me interviewing people that, on paper, have over a decade of deep Linux and cloud experience.

To me, the scenario I present is basic troubleshooting and something that should be a breeze for most candidates.

What's the point of even having it then? It's like saying "You are obligated to do what you want to do". You'd do it even if you weren't "obligated" to do so and if you don't want to do it then you can just deem it "unnecessary" and it's no longer obligated.
I have decided to look at the situation this way: learning it once means that if I really need to, I can learn it again. That’s pretty cool. Also, one thing I have learned is that a lot of people who say they know more than one language frequently don’t know the secondary languages very well at all.

It is well known that having an SO that speaks your learning language is a huge help. Every older french lady has always told me to "get a french gf if I really want to learn." The same is true for programming. Very common to hear of people learning programming later in life with the help of an SO. The quicker and more personalized the feedback you can get when learning anything is always the better.

> A bank could easily create fake money into its own accounts, but it would have trouble transferring that money over to other banks.

In fact, isn't that indistinguishable (mathematically) from paying interest? The bank's internal accounts all go from X to Y. In theory, the bank should made more money that that in total, so at any given point the sum of all accounts is less than the banks money and accounts recieveable (usually via loans). And the bank can provide that money to other people if needed. But if a bank paid 1000% APR on savings accounts, all that would happen is the bank goes belly up and a lot of those accounts won't be worth the numbers they claim to have.
You’re right that this is closer to a reading test than a direct knowledge test, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

No, I hadn't seen things that way. It is worrisome that we've lost most of our manufacturing capabilities in the West. Would make any sort of rebuilding difficult.

NATO is just an US puppet barking to tell people to obey his master.

Exactly. Alternatives to swift are already growing and will continue to do so. What’s more important, protecting Ukraine, Taiwan and anywhere else under threat, or slowing down the erosion of something already being eroded. Lives matter, swift will do just fine without Russia.

This asshole is at war with us. It’s about time we went to war back. Yes it would be costly, but it would have been a lot less costly if we’d done more than wring our hands over Crimea. The cost of dithering is going up and up, so what’s the answer? More dithering?

The overuse of solitary confinement is a symptom of a raging prison industrial complex that relies on political corruption/kickbacks and a national culture that thinks punishment is more valuable to society than rehabilitation.

One would need to alter both in order to resolve this. Given their interlocking/reinforcing nature, it seems infeasible without some kind of revolutionary change in US politics.
You don't need anything to learn to sketch from scratch. Just start sketching and keep at it. Think about it, even children can do it. Perseverance is the key. Now if you want to improve, refine your skill, etc, then you may need help. But not to start sketching from scratch.

People use "material" as a crutch sometime. Once I buy the new sneakers then I can start exercising, once I get new laptop then I can start programming, once I get some money, I can start living, etc. You can start anytime you want.

I'm not judging. I do it all the time myself.
The sequence of work operations is (as far as I've seen) always done by the "programmer", as in the person using CAM or text editor to write the g-code program the CNC machine executes.

I've looked around, and haven't come across much for books. There are a few open source attempts at path generation, and that's what I'd suggest for reference. FreeCAD's path workbench can generate a number of paths.

The other thing to look at is most (all?) pro-level CAM software write the tool paths to an intermediate format that is the "post-processed" into the final output format for a specific machine. The intermediate format is called APT. There isn't much on the web about it, but there is an open source project on sourceforge called aptos that has an implementation of APT.
PyPI is more complex and probably serves way more traffic.
I guess we're entering a new phase of language evolution, then; whether we want it or not.
Totally agree. I’ve definitely made this mistake myself (we all have) and the lesson is definitely to stop, think, read the code and that usually helps with the solution (or at least makes it easier to hone in on what to google)
> So, instead, we have an hour-long technical discussion where I ask them questions about web vitals, accessibility, the browser wars, and other similar topics about the web.

I'd dramatically prefer a good programmer that needs to learn something new over a poor programmer applying the knowledge they already have. I've never come across a perfect interview question, but the goal should be to focus more on problem solving than knowledge.

I've been out of web development for a while so the article was an interesting review/update, though.
Show me one company that "does things with bitcoin" that

1. does things which aren't already solved for cheaper using standard finance (for example, splitwise makes splitting bills easier, there are disposable credit card solutions, within crypto multi-sig accounts for the masses could be one idea)
2. is not just enabling other people to do something with crypto or building out the "doing something with crypto" capabilities (i.e., the product is used to do what real finance does - facilitate and simplify services and manufacturing of goods. Not trading, not infrastructure for trading, not derivatives, not loans...)
3. Is profitable or generates organic revenue (i.e., has customers actually using their product and paying them for it)

Alternatively, show me one company or freelancer denominating their prices in bitcoin, without tying it to the dollar indirectly.

> QKD is no replacement for asymmetric cryptography since it requires exchanging a secret key before the communication can take place.

Your general point about QKD "promises" vs. practical IT security is well taken, particularly as I am much more of a general quantum physicist and spare-time compiler/infosec geek than a QKD person myself.

However, note that asymmetric cryptography doesn't really solve the authentication problem you mention either. If you don't want to place your trust in some sort of PKI, you are back to Alice and Bob having to meet first to exchange some sort of key material (e.g. their public keys) to later avoid impersonation. Given an authenticated channel, both QKD and classical public-key cryptography can construct a secure channel for messages of arbitrary length, but the latter only for computationally bounded attackers. Of course, this is not to say that a trusted PKI can't be a sensible assumption in practice.
Sometimes it's less about the size of the payload and more about # of requests. Especially when targeting the application layer.

The theory:

- Read the ticket

- Read the changeset description

- Read a few relevant areas of the code to refresh knowledge and context

- View the commit messages

- Take a pass through the commits, to get a sense of what the author was thinking (or wants to present that they were thinking -- sometimes a confusing distinction, but possible)

- Consider whether the complete changeset achieves the stated goals

- Consider any aspects of the changeset that could lead to problems in future (maintenance, security, code re-use, business agility, ability to communicate/explain the functionality)

- Consider any aspects of the changeset that can be simplified or optimized -- and whether doing so makes sense in context (time/effort tradeoffs)

- Consider deployment issues -- how will we roll this change out, and will it be possible to revert it, or is it one-way? What are the time/effort tradeoffs if it goes wrong?

In practice:

- Get distracted by something that looks like a bug or typo within the first 20 lines of the diff and comment on that

- See a repeated pattern of problems by line 50 that also seems worth commenting on

- Reach the end of the diff and miss the fact that the unit tests aren't covering what they claim due to some subtle issue

- Say it looks OK-ish I guess and approve the change, despite some subconscious sense that something's wrong, somewhere -- never mind, that sense will pass by the time my coffee meeting this afternoon rolls around

(I'm sorta-joking; I think most reviewers are familiar with these problems and learn to develop anti-biasing strategies -- it can be difficult, though)
