I'm not sure focusing on the instruction set is the right angle.

x86 would be more competitive in the mobile space if Intel had offered efficient chips. Is the instruction set the biggest blocker that prevented this? Or is it the licensing model? Perhaps if Intel had licensed their architecture and instruction set to others, like ARM does, they would be in a better position?

ARM's licensing model get's a lot more eyes on instructions sets and chip designs. It allows big companies like Apple come in and run the show, licensing just the instruction set. Why wasn't Intel working with large customers with an interest in custom x86 designs? In hindsight it seems presumptuous to assume there is no x86 talent outside Intel/AMD.

Really impossible to know how much the actual instruction set is holding Intel back without being on the inside.
Chernobyl disaster, fears stemming from nuclear weapons stationed in Germany, no viable solutions for waste disposal. Mostly that. Of course it's also not economically sensible if you factor in externalised costs.
I'm also concerned about sloppy work and engineering, neglect and human mistake with catastrophic consequences. For example, there is one incident documentend where some idiotic fools drilled a hole into the containment to hang a fire extinguisher.

However, if it would help to bring down the sick Putin regime in Russia I would support a limited extension.

EDIT: Russian trolls be downvoting me. Idi nahui.
> No one seems to recognize what a massive shift this is.

It is recognized loud and clear all over Europe.
I think being optimistic in this situation is actually harmful. It really is worth considering looking for a shelter because Putin has already proven with this war he does not care about anyone's life from any side. And if he is to lose this, to him it may even be as good as being dead. The optimism reminds me of the time we first found out about the Coronavirus and we went on with our head in the sand until it hit hard.

It was the EU "High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy" speaking for various EU members.
This is the most sane attitude.
I do. 20M daily requests (api gateway to lambda). No issues. Love it.
The kind of license I’m suggesting doesn’t change any of that. It would literally be formalizing the existing Leetcode process so it doesn’t have to be retaken many times.
There's great stuff from studios big and small. Sure they're still printing cod/bf/Madden. But they're also making rdr2/ghosts/botw/Mario Odyssey/Metroid dread/monster hunter rise. Just like indies are making valheim/astroneer/slay the spire/monster train/loop hero/hades
Would you care to enlighten us houseplants as to how? The :visited selector is limited to a very small subset of CSS properties[1] for exactly this reason; I’m sure if you have an exploit that can be used to extract browsing history the browsers will be very interested in a security report.

We have to hope their system is not setup such that Putin can unilaterally launch. Is there not some military officer or guard in the way who could decide to save the world?
> living fully in the present

But that’s what (other) animals do, humans are different, in that they live in the past (memories), in the future (dreaming, planning, preparing, learning), and consuming fiction and playing games (which, honestly, I wouldn’t call “living in the moment,” either). So, what’s left in the moment is eating, having sex, fighting, talking, being afraid, being sick, feeling cold…
Just fyi we (https://n8n.io/) are not OSI approved open-source, rather https://faircode.io/ licensed. Very similar but not the same (in short, you can use it for free, but you can not take the code and commercialize it).

Additionally also important to mention that both services currently do not have native nodes/integrations. So it still can be done easily via an HTTP Request node but you would have to check out their API documentation.
When everyone thinks American military spending is ridiculous, the fact that we maintain a two-ocean Navy (with parity to potential adversaries) is a key component of that. By law and design, the expectation is that the US should be able to fight a major war in the Atlantic and Pacific at the same time.
It is interesting to see such an extensive list that doesn't include Smalltalk or Forth. The lack of Pascal/Modula-2/Oberon is not a problem given Ada. Not having APL (or J or K) might not hurt if you get the needed ideas from Julia. Other languages such as Cobol (or the microcomputer equivalent such as dBase) most people can probably live without.
Definitely _Mathematics: A Human Endeavor_ by Harold R. Jacobs for me. I read it as part of a ~World of Math~ course way back in Junior High and I fell in love with math as a result of reading it. It whisked me away from the antiseptic world of rote arithmetic and it opened my eyes to how fun and exciting math can be. As a kid who reveled in puzzles of all types this was an excellent gateway to the world of problem solving.
The value of their investment will be known when they find a buyer...

I don't see too many organizations interested at the moment. Chinese would be the most likely candidates but they may also be wary and stay away for the time being. Or they can pretty much give their shares away to the Russian government or sell them to some Russian organization at a massive discount.
Ah, the classic good ol days phenomenon.

The oldies yearn for a world that is so far removed from today's reality. Said oldies also use the country's resources for their fantasy good ol days.

In this case, Putin and buddies yearn for a good ol world with Russia, Belarus and Little Rus, completely out of touch with where the modern world is. The resistance in Ukraine clearly shows that Ukrainians don't want to be a vassal of Russia.

Same happened in America with Trump and voters yearning for good ol days, disregarding the new world order.

Maybe oldies should be barred from political and government positions altogether.
Exactly, people are treating NATO like it's some kind of robotic smart contract that cannot be stopped. If an article 5 attack occurs, the USA could (and in the case of some NATO countries, probably would) simply sanction and yell about it and do nothing actual.

Of course, that may shake NATO itself, so the response will vary depending on what happens. Poland invading Lithuania wouldn't cause the US to nuke everything.
Automakers prefer low end chips because cars are an extreme environment. Cars need to start at -70c and +50c. For that latter one some of them need to work when it is sunny and they are inside the car which adds a lot more.
Say I would like to believe something other than the "simple narrative"... then what is it, where is the actual strategy? All I see Putin doing last decade is alienating neighbors.
Or just move out of the Bay Area/NYC/your country’s equivalent overpriced metro, and live very comfortably.

Of course it works better if your closer to Tim’s age than in your 20s or 30s.
There was some speculation that COVID derailed the timetable for this invasion.
We still have mushrooms that radiate more than normal due to Chernobyl. Then we witnessed the Fukushima catastrophe from afar but with great shock. And we have no state who wants to store the nuclear waste. We believe the future is renewables and we invest heavily into it.
You mean who would take part in Occupy, Black lives Matter, antifascist, or NoDAPL protest? I'm not saying the risks are equal (electricity torture by Russian services is no joke) but it's fair to point out that popular protesters in the USA also get beaten/mutilated/detained/eliminated by State forces and this is not exactly a new problem (see also: CoIntelPro, Mummia Abu Jamal, Leonard Peltier, Fred Hampton, etc etc).
Yeah that 2nd point is that quite often people need "full time salary" so it is not that management somehow has backwards thinking.

I have a friend that can really work 4 hours a day, but he is a special case where he does not have a family to upkeep and no mortgage. He is also a bit hard on the frugality.

But finding such person is basically 1 in a million. If I post a job with 4h a day which amounts to 1/2 of a normal salary I will probably never get a candidate. If I post a job with normal salary and then start explaining that it is 1/2 hours and accordingly paid, some people will get angry.
As a sign of respect, and so he can hold his head high while standing alongside his peers.
If they’re any good.

But really, it depends what people think of when they say “Leetcode style interview”. There’s a lot of coding interviews that superficially look like stupid leetcode, but the job really does benefit from that.

A basic example: I ask you to model some toy problem as a state machine. Is that a stupid leetcode challenge? Maybe. But many if not most complex UI interactions really are state machines and if you’re the kind of person who intuitively thinks in state machines, you’re going to write more maintainable code.

My personal blind spot is that thinking in graphs is difficult for me. I just fail to see ”Oh, this is a graph problem!”. A lot of times the code I write would be much easier to maintain and write had I realized I’m solving a graph problem. Better performance too.

edit: if you mean the performance anxiety party, yes. Several research papers have shown that anxiety induced by the interview context impacts people’s performance.
So it's time to call him back in service
Yes, everyone's pension fund.
It is the exact opposite!
There is no need for such a mechanism. But the quicker he leaves Ukraine and the less damage he causes, the more likely it is, that the West would relax the sanctions.

(I could easily imagine opening up North Stream 2 quickly, if the money paid for the gas would go to Ukraine until the damages are compensated for)
That assumes that Putin will accept any kind of loss in this conflict, which may not be the case. He'd go down as the man that ruined the remains of Russia rather than as a victor.
> why should I trust the university selection process more than those corporate hiring ones?

I don't know the US education system enough, but there are some schools out there which are much more selective than any SWE interview process. You can be guaranteed that the worst student from these top schools could nail any algorithm interview with minimal preparation.

But these big companies hire many more people than these few schools can provide, and they do so globally, from countries that may not have such elite schools.
Is actual Ukraine in independent nation? Did you try to see actual gov history? Hint: they are actors, their last work was a series about a new Ukrainian government (start from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servant_of_the_People the actual real President as the main actor of the fictional president).

If they decide to impromptu join Russian Federation say "thanks, you free us from a western-made puppet government" Russians can't remain in arm there, just like they aren't for similar reasons remained in Kz even with the mocked-up CSTO umbrella. Of course their will remain now if a Resistance start to operate, in that very case they have a perfectly licit and justifiable reason to be there: "Russian people, we the government, goes to Ukraine to free the country from the western nazi-armed oppressors (witch is actually a real fact, since both USA and UK do not denied that they have armed and trained Azov battalion and co) and we have to stay because such bad crooks still plague the country bombing, raping and killing people". They can't tell the same if mass of locals citizens welcome them and formally demand to be part of the Federation. In that case the Russian surely keep a bit of grip, but can't really establish a puppet regime with strong military presence. They need to be soft, and being soft the locals do have power to organize slowly and slowly form their own government, a really democratic one, powerless at first but a small growth at a time more influential, enough to rule in a decades.

Also think twice and twice again about China profit: so far despite it's enormous growth China can't really overpower USA, yes they can build many more low tech ships, but they can't military confront the USA not on the sea not on abroad lands. With Russian natural resources AND Russian tech they can in few years, and they already need to counter the USA because just to eat they need to be in South America, APAC and Africa, witch means they need to control seas, a thing that USA and UK can't tolerate because it's the sole remaining imperial power they have, a power so far no other nation can menace.

For USA keep Europe means remain the tech leader since they can drain EU resources and control it's development, but keeping EU at the price of giving China the Russian Federation means that all needed basis for a III world war are finally made and sealed. Avoid escalation in that case is next to impossible, remember that in both WWI and WWII all nations involved do not, do never wanted a real world war, things just escalate to it. Do you think it's worth risking the end of humanity just for the profit of some cancer of humanity actually ruling on their own people back in all world power, both formal dictatorship like China or formal but not substantial Democracies like Russian and USA, and France and Italy and Germany etc?
I think the US could convince non-retired people to cut back on the work week. For example, I think you could demonstrate that you need a workforce with fucked up backs alongside easy access to opioids to trigger our crisis.
I'd sign for that in a heartbeat.
Yeah, because at that level, that's what's going to make the difference between him and his peers as they're chatting :-)
That is a nice hope.

I'll caveat my statement: if Putin remains in charge he isn't turning back.
You would not "marginally improve", you would dramatically improve. That's the dirty secret of these interviews they are not that hard to get good at. There are at most a little over half a dozen data structures and about a dozen algorithmic technique patterns that show up in these interviews, once you do enough of those types of problem, you get better at it.

I am willing to bet that spending an hour every day on leetcode you can probably be good enough to pass interviews at most companies in a month or two (assuming you had exposure to DS and Algorithms in college, if not add more time but the general idea applies). Maybe not Google but I would bet you'd be good enough to see double digit increasing in your onsite -> offer conversion percentage. Whether that would be worth it is a different question, the answer for many people who already have good jobs is no.
LOL, #firstworldproblems
The other auto makers are also in self driving '.they are only doing quiet R&D, but if you are betting on automation Tesla isn't the best long term bet even before you look at potential upside.
Fine, but that applies to even data structures and other domain types, which even in a more classically-OO language you wouldn’t pipe through a DI framework. I think DI as a code organization concept is great, but if I have to write a factory for every struct anyway then it’s not any harder to simply use those as a rule and define module boundaries sensibly as a way to determine which code should be using new vs the factory methods.

You have a good point wrt lifecycle management, but I feel like that’s actually a separate class of problem.
Good question. I wonder what discussions are had in his inner circle when he is absent. It requires someone with guts and means.

It took several years before there was a serious attempt at Hitler. On the other hand, those closer to him may have seen it coming for longer than we have.
> What’s your suggested alternative?

I generally give (mostly) simple questions where I explain how to solve them. Assuming you're a competent programmer in the language we're dealing with, you should be able to figure out how to solve the problem in your head in a minute or two. The trick is that I'm gauging accumulated skill, not memorized algorithms.

For example, I'll explain how to use a data reader, explain the constructor for a simple object, and provide a SQL statement. Then you need to write the code that reads a few values from the data reader and constructs and object. After that we discuss edge cases and error handling, and if you should throw an exception or return null. Easy-peasy! (And if it's not easy-peasy, you really shouldn't be here.)

Another example: I'll explain an older API for running a lambda in a background thread, and then an API for running a lambda in the main (UI) thread. (Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android all have the same threading model for their UI.) Easy-peasy if you understand basic scoping and threading. (And if it's not easy-peasy, you shouldn't be working in any job where you have to deal with threads.)

In both cases, the candidate can ask any many questions as they want, and I'll happily steer a candidate.

The point is, I'm not relying on memorized algorithms, or requiring prep. What I'm doing is relying on, and judging accumulated skill. Only a novice will have trouble with my questions; and I wouldn't use these questions when hiring interns or entry-level engineers. If you've programmed with a database before, you should understand the basic concept of a data reader. If you've programmed for awhile, you should understand scope. And, if you've programmed with threads, you should understand running a lambda on another thread. (You probably should understand lambdas, too.)
Yeah valid complaints but none of them I’ve noticed myself. It works really well for me.

I suspect apple will be producing another subscription model or extension to it to support these features once they’ve proven it in production for a bit.
What changed is that to move away from nuclear the dependency on Gas has increased. This alleviated the immediate stress levels generated from the nuclear disasters around the world. Then a more immediate threat popped up by Russia invading Ukraine. This makes the gas dependency a liability again. This makes the far away risk of something might go very wrong with nuclear palatable again compared to the gas is risky right now.
In the USSR era, the Premier did not have the authority to start a nuclear war. That required either the permission of the Politburo or the detection of the destruction of Moscow with nuclear weapons.

The USSR, post-Stalin, tried to avoid giving the Premier unlimited power. They'd had that with Stalin, and it didn't end well. That may not have persisted into the Putin era.
General mental ability is general, that’s the point.

> The Validity and Utility of Selection Methods in Personnel Psychology: Practical and Theoretical Implications of 100 Years of Research Findings

> On the basis of meta-analytic findings, this paper presents the validity of 31 procedures for predicting job performance and the validity of paired combinations of general mental ability (GMA) and the 29 other selection procedures. Similar analyses are presented for 16 predictors of performance in job training programs. Overall, the two combinations with the highest multivariate validity and utility for predicting job performance were GMA plus an integrity test (mean validity of .78) and GMA plus a structured interview (mean validity of .76). Similar results were obtained for these two combinations in the prediction of performance in job training programs. A further advantage of these two combinations is that they can be used for both entry level hiring and selection of experienced job applicants. The practical utility implications of these summary findings are substantial. The implications of these research findings for the development of theories of job performance are discussed.
It has precedent with Nixon: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madman_theory

If the opposite side believes you completely rational, it limits the actions they believe you'll take. On the other hand, if they believe you're impulsive, there are fewer limits on what they believe you'd do.

... Unfortunately, if they believe you're too irrational, it ends badly.

Never mind that they live right next door to the most active user of nuclear power in Europe France. So likelihood of a nuclear accident not affecting them is close to zero.
Has the CIA ever done anything remotely as useful and successful as that?
After the Fukushima catastrophe, it was clear that the unknown unknows are worse than anticipated.

Sad thing is, Germany should have pumped a whole lotta more money into renewables and their research.
Finally! I really hope this will happen.
We sat on our arses too long and essentially our skills for producing nuclear faded away and now we need to rely on Japan and France if we want nuclear but it seems like we're out of the loop. I thought w had a couple of new nuclear facilities in progress, Sizewell C [0] and somewhere else (and plans are afoot for an experimental fusion reactor which is the most forward thinking I've seen in the UK in a decade so perhaps that's being driven by EDF? [as well??]).

> No other country would intervene with military force even if they did, because nobody wants a two-sided nuclear war.

That is a serious underestimation.
