> I've told at least 5 or 6 companies that wanted to white-board me to suck it. It's honestly insulting that I'm forced to white-board when I have two books with my name on them (published by Apress), contributions to Golang (small commits, but they still got me in the AUTHORS file), and OSS projects with hundreds of stars on GitHub.

So you've done a bunch of stuff that's easy to game, that requires me to learn a bunch to even evaluate whether it's good or not, and you feel insulted by being asked to do some honest coding? I'd far rather hire a fresh grad who did decently on leetcode and was able to hold a vaguely normal conversation in the interview. In my experience that has a much higher rate of finding people who will contribute positively to actually getting the work done.

There's nothing wrong with the interview process, just a bunch of entitled prima donnas who are always going to think they're better than any standard process. You're better off without those anyway.

Sounds like shitty software. We did similar work with an 8051 20+ years ago and it did fine.
I moved my emails to iCloud plus email domains less than a month ago. The import of existing emails was excruciatingly slow. I mean, 1 email per second on average, then failing with some random error halfway down the line (120k emails), even on retries, causing your migration agent to give up.

I spent the better half of a week trying to get it to work, ended up moving to Google Workspace instead.
For me the issue is whether the magic is fully acknowledged and explained by the project, bringing me in on the details of the compromise.

I tried to get into MobX years ago but found it impossible to get along with. I don’t know what it’s like now, but the documentation back then failed to explain the magic. It was just like “Hey, look how convenient this is, just follow our instructions and you’ll be fine (and don’t think about how it works)”.

Then some time later React came out with hooks, and they took the time to introduce the concept carefully, to explain how it’s actually really weird and non-idiomatic and principle-breaking but leads to all these ergonomic benefits, just make sure you understand the weirdness and keep it contained. They give you the information you need to change it in your head from ‘magic’ to ‘smart compromise’.
It's Yudkowsky from LessWrong, he is actually a quite insightful thinker, but his disciples claim stuff like this all the time. LessWrong is an extreme echo chamber.

For me the breaking point was Roko's Basilisk, a self-proclaimed "most-dangerous idea of our time".
People already spend thousands of dollars on skylights without any professional lighting design, yet they pay a professional draughtsman to design it specially for their house, council to approve it, and licensed tradesman to build it. I don't get why they don't spend those same thousands on what you suggest or an off-the-shelf product that an electrician (or DIY) can install.

For quick resume on the same device, assuming no OS update was done, dumping memory might work.

But I just can't see it working across OSes.

Maybe if you limited it to same ARCH (or even vendor, AMD here) and dump everything but use some tricks wrt. GPU state? (And also not dumping OS discardeable caches, no idea if that is used by games though).

The image is very nice, but the explanation of brightness is a bit confused:

> But, of course, the galaxy isn’t nearly this bright. You need a dark sky to see it, and, even then, it’s a barely visible fuzzy patch of light. In order to appear as bright as in the image above, the Andromeda galaxy would need to be closer. If it were close enough to look so bright, it would appear even bigger on our sky’s dome.

Things closer by do not appear brighter, they merely appear bigger. The Andromeda galaxy will never appear as bright as in that image, not matter how close it is. As things get closer they do, of course, cast more light on us, but that light also comes from a larger solid angle, which means when we look at them, the brightness (per area) remains constant. It's why your computer monitor doesn't look any dimmer as you walk away. It just gets smaller in your field of view.

This breaks down for pointlike objects, like single stars - anything small or far away enough to look like a point to our eye cannot get any smaller, so changes in distance are only apparent as changes in brightness. But as the image demonstrates, the Andromeda galaxy is much, much larger than a pointlike object to the naked eye, and so this does not apply (it doesn't matter that the individual light sources are pointlike stars here - for a galaxy they average out due to density, but even if they didn't, as individual points get brighter the space between them gets larger so it all still cancels out when we look at overall apparent brightness for the whole group).
I struggle to believe that this is the case. Many offices are massive single rooms in buildings with large floor plates and often meeting rooms may end up placed around the edge. So in practice I think big open offices (and the desire to have everyone close in one room) tend to lead towards not getting much natural light, but of course if you put smaller offices or cubicles in that space they’d get even less light.
You're right that the hopeful propaganda is giving a distorted view of the dire situation. Combined with the fact that the Russians don't carry their phones to show their victories.

Apparently RT expected to announce the capture of Kyiv on the morning of the 26's. Every moment Kyiv holds is an indication by what scale Putin's party has miscalculated.

So basically, radioactive decay turns out to be less-constant than previously assumed, not so much because of the influence of "space weather" but more so because "terrestrial weather"...

Air war doesn't really go unless you mean TU160 shooting cruise missles from far away.

In reality Ukraine got a bunch of stingers in last few months. It seems to use it rather effectively to bring down planes and helicopters (saw today at morning video of couple of russian planes shot down). Also russia failed to knock off air defenses. Additionally there is a bunch of BUK/Panzir systems that russian solders left on a roads (saw a few videos) that probably will be repurposed

And last point, russian air force it's not exactly modern air force with guided bombs. It's just good old carpet bombing

As much as I would love to work part-time, there's a good reason for a company to avoid this: co-ordination costs scale quadratically. Yes, good management practices can help mitigate this, but I'm sure we're all aware of how adding extra people to a team doesn't scale its productivity proportionally, and I'm convinced this is at least part of the picture.

That said, if the co-ordination costs are not prohibitive and such an arrangement allows you to get better talent than you'd otherwise have access to, it might still be a good deal. For a small team that needs a small amount of high-level expertise, but doesn't have enough for such a person to do all day, this could be the best option.

It doesn't have to be a massive revolution, a "palace revolt" (or some combination thereof) would also do - not sure how likely it is, but I was in Romania when Ceausescu was toppled, and his regime also didn't look like it would be possible to end it in a week (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_Revolution). Ok, there were up to 1300 victims (estimates vary), and it was the only one of the regime changes in Eastern Europe in 1989 that actually led to violence, but compared to what we are seeing in other countries around the world, Romania still got off relatively easy...
The premise of your argument seems to be that the public school system is flawed, and that you shouldn't have to pay into it, especially if the teachers aren't working.

This implies a lack of care for social responsibility and a lack of respect for the people that are actually having to take the risk.

While I appreciate the point of view that it isn't quite fair, I'd point out that a) teachers should have a right to health and safety in the workplace, b) social mobility would be obliterated if you could opt out of funding public schools, and c) you're likely arguing this from an office where you're at much lower risk.

It's not a great position to be in, sure. But arguing that we're not being kind in our position when yours seems to be "but they're wasting my money" seems to be borderline misanthropic.
There is certainly a factor of ego at play, but the more obvious reason is that Russia will fail both economically and strategically if Ukraine integrates with Europe, and the demography of Russia won't allow them to fight a human war within

"Warmth" and "naturalness" are produced by high CRI index (90+).

I have 8 lamps with CRI 90+ in my living room, at 5000K color temperature, 1500 lumens each. They produce nice light that seamlessly mixes with daytime sunlight from the window: they seem to have the same color.

I also have a few LED strip installation over desks and tables, very bright at max dimmer setting. A diffuser is a must, even though it lowers the brightness noticeably. Without it, anything moderately shiny will reflect painfully bright dots of light.

It's... complicated and a bit counter-intuitive.

Essentially, a bicycle is an inverted pendulum and the fork acts as a feedback mechanism. The fork geometry (caster angle) translates lateral force at the front wheel into steering inputs. Gyroscopic forces also contribute. These effects all act more strongly at higher speed.

The fork must be free to move, or the feedback won't work.

Let's say you have a Git repo. Now, what if your laptop and all your mobile phones disappear? (Maybe you're travelling and your car takes a turn down into a river.)

Then, remembering a trusted hash of your Git repo, might be convenient (depending on where the Git repo mirrors are kept and who has access).

Or maybe for some reason you'd like to save a hash of a text you wrote, or something.

> A warmongering country with a crazy dictator (that threatens the world with nukes) has vowed to crush a friendly neighboring country

You clearly have no knowledge of things you are trying to talk about. This statement is purely emotional and has no substance in it.

To understand how "friendly" Ukraine is, try to dig what they have done for their western territories. Or how they blocked water to Crimea peninsula, causing humanitarian catastrophe.

We can certainly talk about how this may not justify what is happening now, but calling ukraine friendly is way of a stretch.
It seems that the only option left for Putin is the "nuclear" one (no pun intended) now that the whole world is seeing that the Russian army lost its morale, and its teeth. Old equipment, young soldiers that are harder to brainwash than in the old days. It is fascinating to see for the first time in the modern age what effect modern media consumption and the internet has on a local war.

While it is undeniably true that open communication and the internet has corrupted the value of information, it seems that for the first time in 20 years we're witnessing the flip side of this coin as well. It's harder to mobilise people behind a corrupt cause once blood starts flowing. Curious to see how this plays out!

And yes - there have been wars for the last 20 years, I know. But if we're honest, from a purely geographical perspective, this is the first war on the European continent in the 2000's.

Funny thing about Hue, instead of brighter, I wish they'd go dimmer. If I want more light, I can always get more bulbs. But currently the lowest brightness (at least for the standard white tones bulbs I have) is too bright to work for evening / night scenes.
