I'm a fan of functional analysis, but even in my (very competitive) undergraduate curriculum, it wasn't required for a bachelor's in mathematics. I think Susan's guide covers most of what the undergraduate programs I've seen require.

There's a ton of reasons.

Arbitrage

- Borrowing, swapping and paying back in the same function call.

Liquid Staking

- Say i have a POS coin. When i stake i secure the network with collatoral and get paid a certain APR. But now that token is stuck staking. But if you create a smart contract the aggregates the coins together, stakes them and loan them out to represent their underlying value, you get slight divergence between the total value in the smart contract and your underlying ownership in it. So now i have this Liquid X coin, that is rising in value at a set rate to normal X Coin. So now, i can then go and utilize the underlying value of the Liquid coin by utilize it as collatoral to mint more X_Coin. Rinse and repeat until you are at a respectable collateralization ratio.
So what? Most of their foreign reserves are frozen (as they are mostly held by foreign banks), and there’s nobody they can sell their gold to (without having to sell at a deep discount).

I don't mind ops if I can use Docker, it isn't a hassle to login to the AWS console and hit deploy, but I have to play around on some box IT set up I'm going to be annoyed. Mainly because we wouldn't be managing individual servers like that if I was in IT.
> With the current state of nutrition "science", all food standards are arbitrary. I don't eat any compound ingredients that didn't exist 2000 years ago.

You were just told that gums are a simple and naturally occurring ingredient and have been used for thousands of years, and your rebuttal was to refuse them because you don't eat compound ingredients recently invented in a lab. I think that says everything about the mental gymnastics you're doing to convince yourself that you've got it all figured out.

If you eat nuts, or the skins of many fruits, or any root vegetables, then you are consuming gums (aka polysaccharides (aka sugar)). You just don't call it that, because it's one ingredient among many in a larger product -- like say, a potato.
Ideally, it would be nice to drop it in as a replacement for an existing plant. However, it may be that the grid cannot sustain the existing plant being shut down without new capacity already in place and there's the more problematic issue of location. There's plenty of gas peaker plants in locations where people would not accept a nuclear plant, such as in the middle of cities.

It's really hard to engage with any argument which starts with the false dichotomy that education is either about signalling your traits or giving you skills and knowledge to be a productive worker. It does not even begin to engage with the idea that knowledge and education can have value in and of itself enriching people's lives, building a shared culture, improving social mobiliity, decreasing inequality etc (rather than being a means to an end, in this case being productive).

Given those terms of reference, it's not surprising the author might come to the conclusion that a free college education could be useless. They are ignoring lots of ways in which an education (free or otherwise) could be seen to have value.
There are still edge cases but I can count on one hand the number of users who have run into it since Fedora switched to Btrfs by default (on desktops) two years ago (and Cloud edition in the most recent Fedora release late last year).

The upstream maintainer of btrfs-progs also maintains btrfs maintenance https://github.com/kdave/btrfsmaintenance which is a set of scripts for doing various tasks, one of which is a periodic filtered balance focusing on data block groups. I don't run it myself, because well (a) I haven't run into such a bug in years myself (b) I want to run into such a bug so I can report it and get it fixed. The maintenance script basically papers over any remaining issues, for those folks who are more interested in avoiding issues than bug reporting (a completely reasonable position).

There's been a metric ton of work on ENOSPC bugs over the years, but a large pile were set free with the ticketed ENOSPC system quite a few years ago now (circa 2015? 2016?)
I have wanted to do this for many years. I start with NetBSD and try to use Linux emulation, i.e., install glibc or musl libraries under /emul/linux, then try to compile a small Linux kernel.

It is easy to compile NetBSD kernel on Linux but not vice versa. The significance of that if any is left as question for the reader.
Unsubsidized on-shore wind and solar is the by far cheapest sources of energy today. They are down at the marginal cost of existing, paid of, traditional power plants. That is where the current explosion in renewable growth is coming from. It is simply a more efficient use of capital to close down your existing nuclear plant and build new renewables instead.

> Re-labelling the Europe-based part of the NATO forces as "EU Army" I'm afraid won't foul the Russians.

That's true, yes. But in an alternate reality, where NATO doesn't exist after Cold War, the European countries have built up their own defense (maybe shared to an extent to allow compatibility), and they create an ad-hoc pact based on situation presented, this would, I believe, give us better options to help defend Ukraine. And maybe, who knows, Putin wouldn't even go crazy being paranoid about NATO.
The Chinese could stop it.

Otherwise we have to hope the Russian people yearn for freedom over tyranny and take Putin out themselves. I'm open to them integrating with the west, but there's definite repreparations due to Ukraine after this.

This is a no-win situation for Russia for sure, I expect them to start using nukes at some point. If we had a way to stop warheads, I'd say NATO goes in and finishes this.

I also expect in the end, Russia to shrink further in size, losing Chechnya and other regions. It's sad, Russia's future after the fall of the Berlin Wall was always with the west. They're taking the long route to what I think is inevitable. The Russian people need to stand up sooner than later though. We can't do it for them.
Just to build on this a little:

My MOS was a 2844, which was a Ground Radio Technician. I could repair and operate every radio the USMC had at an advanced level. I then received courses on how to provide EMT-level care on the battlefield, machine gunners school, vehicle operations (command, gunning, operation, egress, maneuvers), basic generator troubleshooting, vehicle maintenance training, artillery/medevac coordination, advanced SatComm training, etc... This is specifically so that teams are a) self-sustaining (one team can accomplish many jobs outside of their primary job) and b) to reduce the number of on-hand resources the USMC requires to function.
> Not the case at all. Treaties are sometimes ... coercion

Exceptions don't refute the general case.

> Otherwise there would be no need for a treaty and nations could choose to enforce others' values of their own free will.

The point of a trade treaty is for each party to formally affirm that they will abide by the other's conditions. This is necessary irrespective of coercion.
That's a weird question. In some countries armies aren't even allowed to participate in domestic events ( e.g. Germany). And how would the army know better than the police which side to take?
> [...] it also makes for some real awkwardness. I've referred people who failed the interview process which I found shocking because I know they're qualified. And also I have to try to explain to a friend why they didn't get hired.

This is a real issue, but one that can be overcome in my experience.

I've referred several people to my employer. I always make it a point to have an "off the record" conversation prior to doing it formally, where I explicitly say why I'm referring the person, why, what attributes/skills I can vouch for, and to what degree. I've done this for people ranging from "a good friend that I've known for decades" to "a guy I literally met at a gas station that mentioned he wanted to find a remote position". Likewise, in the case of friends, I make it clear up front what is actually in my power and what's not.

> Another pitfall of referrals is a lot of people grow and change in their careers and their network probably remembers them in a specific light. I've been referred for jobs where they wanted me to do what I was doing 5 years ago because that's what my colleague remembers of me.

This just seems like poor performance by the recruiting team. Still... I'd rather get an interview for a job I don't want than not get that interview at all. There's always the possibility that we can come to terms.

> I also tend to think it will enforce more homogeny if you have friends referring friends. Not necessarily and Old Boys Club, but something similar.

It gives a lot more influence in the hiring process to engineers. That can (and often does) lead to what you're talking about, but it also means that you have more ability to change things. You can explicitly refer people that are different from the rest of the company in whatever ways you feel are important.
Captured Russian soldier begs for forgiveness for Ukraine invasion
This video interview seems pretty real. What do people think? I feel bad for this guy. I hope that Ukraine Army (and Red Cross) treats him well until end of the invasion.
> It was probably due to just taking in less calories than he was consuming.

Yes, absolutely. My point is that obese people shouldn't worry about what specific diet is the best diet. I see people make this mistake all the time. It doesn't matter as much as many people assume. The only way to lose weight is to eat less calories.

This article is about how a formerly fat guy managed to lose weight. This is a big accomplishment. Many obese people try to lose weight and fail. Criticizing the minor details of his new diet is foolish. There are so many armchair diet experts who don't understand this.
$500 M feels like the sweet spot for me actually. It's enough you can actually do something useful, unlike say "fusion never", but it's no so much as to be unauditable. If RR can't produce some goods with that amount (and, institutionally, they have the technical competence), you can ask why.
Oh, don't worry, ZFS has a set of its own gotchas.

Fact: The LeetCode loop sucks. So couldn't any Director or VP in big tech just decide they are done giving that interview? They have the resources to spin up something like this in a week. Even outside big tech, companies can very well think of non LeetCode style interviews, some already do

The problem is, many engineers want new engineers forced into this type of interview, because they had to do it, so you have to do it too. Not for any reason better than that

Some feedback on the homepage. Its current form can be improved.

1) To watch the video in the section, "Here's how it works", I need to load javascript from navattic.com. JS, expecially from an external website, is something that should not be required to view a video. This tells me there is likely tracking of hiring managers who only want to watch the how-to video.

2) When I enabled JS for navattic.com, the video's first frame was shown. But, to actually watch the video I had to input a work email and my name. I closed your webpage at this point. I could have clicked the REQUEST DEMO button if I were ready to engage your service. However, I wanted to learn about your offerings by watching your video. Even clicking your about-us link didn't work, since it scrolled me right back down the page.

My suggestion is to not try to get every visitor's email account information before you tell them how your product works. It might help raise the quality of engagements to provide your information first and then let hiring managers click on REQUEST DEMO.
rather scary to consider this group as "allies" against war, to me. the desire to preserve this class's status feels somewhat opposed to some other values & beliefs that feel important to me.

There is no way Ukraine accepts the same demands that Russia had at the start of the war. I think the most they'll give is recognize the territory Russia or separatists had at the start of the war, and that's only if Russia makes serious push on central Kyiv. No way they give up on NATO at this point knowing Russia could just do it again in a few years

Elon Musk asked to ‘turn off’ Teslas in Russia, while making superchargers free
> Ok genius, what should have the west done?

1. Not dangled NATO membership to keep Ukraine aligned with the West, something we were never going to extend for exactly the reasons as evidenced by Putin's invasion. Further, the US should've formally and explicitly announced this intent;

2. Pressure Ukraine to abide by the Minsk Agreement [1], which it never did (to be fair, Russia didn't abide either). Most notably, point (3) called to semi-autonomy for Donetsk and Luhansk;

3. Push for the reinstatement of minority language rights in Ukraine, which were repealed in the wake of the 2014 revolution [2];

4. Push Ukraine to adopt a policy (perhaps going so far as adopting a constitutional amendment) of official neutrality; and

5. Reorganize the Army to be a defensive army. This is an army built for insurgency to make the cost of occupation so high as to dissuade any foreign invader from ever invading.

But despite years of intentional and possibly unintentional provocation of Moscow and a build up to th einvasion the US ruled options like excluding Ukraine from NATO as off-the-table. This was warned about prior to the invasion [3].

That's what should've happened. Now that Putin has started an unjustifiable war he cannot win (IMHO), it gets more difficult because so many people have a kneejerk reaction to "not negotiate with terrorists" (even though we do that routinely) or we don't want to "reward" Putin, the solution hasn't actually changed that much.

This will be solved diplomatically eventually because it won't be solved militarily. Even if Putin rejects such a framework and really is seeking to recreate Imperial Russia (which I personally don't believe), what have we lost by trying?

We might compare to what happened next to the Farallon islands, off California. At least 47,500 barrels of nuclear waste, weighted with concrete, just dropped in the water. (Those that floated anyway were shot.)

The fate of the barrels was an example in my differential equations course. (tl;dr: They burst when they hit the sea floor.) Wikipedia suggests that "by 1980, most of the radiation had decayed". Excepting what hadn't, of course.

All that observed, the problem with nuke plants is absolutely not the waste. The overwhelming problem is the outrageous cost, and that they don't start displacing fossil fuels for years, if ever. A dollar sunk into a nuke plant instead of renewables is simply sunk, as far as the climate is concerned.

I've thought about this a lot too, which is why we heavily recommend using Litebulb for take-homes. Sit-down onsites on Litebulb are only good if the candidate knows the existing frameworks, if they don't it's pretty tough to figure it out on the spot.

Take homes are great because the candidate either knows the specific frameworks, or doesn't but can learn them quick enough. Either way, if you complete it within the allocated time and get relatively high enough scores, we'd recommend moving forward.

Actually @xiphias2 what type of interviews have you seen that were really good? Like even the in-person ones, what made them good?
The nicest people I've met and the strangers who helped me when I needed it were religious. I don't think anecdotes can be used to accuse a massive group of people of wrongdoing. Religious people are people, judge the individual. And I don't think forgiving yourself is a bad thing. The only other options are kill yourself or wallow in guilt for the rest of your life. Just because you forgave yourself doesn't mean there wasn't consequences or guilt felt.

Yeah this is just a thing you have to design around while using FDM printers, as others have mentioned.

Essentially every national election in a two-party system will be close. Candidates are incentivized to move toward the middle, to try and claim the undecided voters.

Because the elections will always be close, they are extremely sensitive to relatively small effects. Something that moves the needle by 1% or 0.5% one way or the other can decide the election.

I think the 4ch-spawned memewar was one of those factors, though I also think foreign interference played a role as well.

IMO, those undecided voters in the middle are probably the least, uh, savvy as well. The type most easily swayed by memes, clickbait, etc.
