It is so pleasant and so rare to agree with people these days. I agree with you.

It is signal for me. My interview consists of many areas beyond coding. But coding is one I explore too. (like write a methods with two sequential loops and single if in your favorite language.) You would not believe, some 30% people fail.

Mentor or programmer -- we need both qualities in the end. both extremes are harmful. To be a good mentor, one need to have respect of colleagues -- and it comes from contribution too.

gamble -- agree again.
They silently discontinued the 27" imac yesterday: https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/8/22967616/apple-27-inch-ima...
Last time I looked (a couple years ago) the market was so hot that any company taking longer than a week to decide and more than maybe two interviews, counting an initial phone interview, was gonna lose the candidate.
When people on my team anounce they're leaving, I try to get them to do the first week finishing out whatever bits of code/docs they have half written, then the second week putting together and sharing transition documents.
I make sure everything I was directly responsible for is in the hands of someone else, whether that be writing documentation or just letting them know casually. I cleanup any messy code I would consider myself responsible for and that I know probably won't get looked at - mostly for my own sanity's sake.

Once those things are done I largely get by doing smaller tasks and helping out where I can rather than directly involving myself in anything. Nobody has really seemed to mind.

Funnily enough, the last two days at my previous job involved HR and IT slowly revoking my access to most of the systems and groups we used at work (email, repositories, etc), to the surprise of my manager who said I could just kick back and relax until my last day.
Pilot FriXion Erasable Pens: A Comprehensive Guide
The question is does society benefit from taxis being available all night long? If that is the correct question, and the answer is yes, then society should be paying for it.

By restricting the distribution of costs over only people who use taxis, then people who use taxis are unfairly shouldering a burden that society benefits from as a whole.

Neural Network C code in FPGA: A hardware description language intro
I agree; is the premise here that audiovisual spectacle of opening the box in the video game somehow compounds the problem? Or that there's some manipulation of scarcity or something? The "core mechanic" seems exactly the same.
Thats my conclusion too, the article says there are too many words, and then says there are too little words

"SOFI and ramp mean the same thing, whats the reader to dooooo"

"Significant is used 5 times... without explanation!"

"There are 100 words!"

Yes, we need to know how the presentation went, and we also. need to know what NASA would have alternatively done and if it was honestly considered at all or even feasible

On a side note, its crazy that a couple tiles compromise the entire vessel, but I understand that the heat would travel across the inner metal. Its still crazy to think there isn't some other kind of dissipation measure possible.
Apple uses a central point of entry - your Apple account, and it often requires you re-enter your password to revalidate who your are and will explicitly validate that you want to "really": buy (which you can suppress - I've never done that).
It's not just chips, but also dust. Regardless, it has enough effect for the CDC to have a page about it:

https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/lead/prevention/sources/paint.htm

The study in the OP also specifically calls it out:

>Our estimates, based on leaded gasoline consumption, may also have underpredicted high-lead exposures owing to leaded paints and pipes, which tend to aggregate within particular communities (e.g., those with high rates of homes with lead service lines and lead paint in disrepair).
Technical writing has swayed too much in the direction of over relying on punctuation, rather than writing good simple sentences. Trying to read a scientific paper is now a chore because of all the footnotes, parentheses, definitions and abbreviations, dashes and subclauses. They read more like legal documents than something you can actually read from start to end to understand a point.
Most of the time it's impossible because even if we can connect from the head node to the compute nodes, we cannot open an X tunnel there. So at the moment what I do is copy the latest file to a filesystem on the head node and then run a lightweight X visualiser on the head node (Rasmol or equivalent is fine there).

We have fancy complicated visualisers and they are great, but I really hope the (often old) barebone ones that work over an SSH tunnel on a flaky VPN keep working for a very long time.
Agendas should be simple, or should I not come with an agenda at all?

An agenda, either shared with the other person or not, is fine. I'd rather have a meeting with agenda / talking points rather than one without. It doesn't prevent people from being able to contribute, as long as you don't monopolize your part.
I agree a complete system capable of something as magical sounding as I described would be both extremely complex to implement and probably even a nightmare to program within.

As to the specific discussion of free variables and open/closed arguments, I have to admit I have no background or education in the theory behind programming languages. Other than going through about 50% of SICP about a decade ago, I also have very little experience with functional languages.

What has been fuelling this interest lately is learning a bit more about stack based languages like Forth. My extremely primitive understanding of such programming models suggests that a function/word in that kind of programming context is closed over some defined portion of the stack. So my naive mind considers that one could grab as much stack as necessary along with the word to be executed and just pipe that over to some other execution context. Of course, details matter and there are probably several important ones that I haven't even considered that would make this naive assumption border on impossible. However, it at least seems more reasonable to attempt than crawling through a heap trying to gather everything.
You have credible eastern sources to point us to?
As with anything, what starts out as complex gets easier with exposure. I'm still at the beginning stages but I've really enjoyed the journey so far.
> It is never just one thing.

Especially when Boeing is involved
> I think the sentiment in China is really not about supporting Russia; it is about anti-US.

Anti-US is a part of it, but from what I know, Chinese people do generally like Russia a lot more than most of the world. I think it’s kind of a culture and history thing, education is likely a big part. Chinese tend to favour Russia by default for many things, even if the US isn’t involved. The US involvement (perceived or not) definitely still contributes a lot to the general sentiment in this particular case, of course.
And they'll get a small fine that's the cost of business for them.
Electric heat is great, actually. My house has a heat pump and it’s terrific. It’s a mini split system so each room has a wall-mounted head that circulates hot or cold air, with a large compressor outside. The system is quiet, efficient, and clean, in fact, it’s much cleaner than ducted systems because there are no ducts to bring dirty particles in. It can be expensive when it’s cold out, but total cost of keeping the house cool and warm averages out to be a pretty good deal.
"!!" should be pretty obvious to any javascript developer.
Basically no-one else hires like this, outside of tech. If you describe what our interviews—even relatively light ones, not FAANG—look like to people outside our industry, reactions tend to be of the "what the actual fuck?" variety.
Yes, unless you have a sufficiently complex and inscrutable EULA to point to as proof that at least one of the users was out of spec.
Sorry, what are "SAFE" and "MFN SAFE"?
I assume because an 8 year old kid needs a ride, and more money to buy another pack.
steps to try it out:

- sign up for an account to get an access key
- install demos with `npm install -g @picovoice/leopard-node-demo`
- run `leopard-mic-demo -a $ACCESS_KEY`

I'm pretty impressed with the accuracy, especially given it's all local and a 20MB model (though the total weight with node modules included comes out to 36MB). Obviously the licensing restrictions are a bummer, but 100 hours a month should be more than enough for my purposes - I like to compose thoughts with my voice sometimes and capture something as close to the stream of consciousness as possible. Really curious to see what gets built on this.
See hospitals...
A good recruiter can easily be discovered: how long have they been with their current agency? The longer, the more likely they're good. Bad recruiters job hop. A year here. A year there. LinkedIn gives it all away. At 3+ years at one agency, they're performing at or above expectations. Most agencies are honest, push honesty, and rid themselves of recruiters that lie or underperform. Good recruiters build momentum through referrals and repeat business. So that's how you tell. Not foolproof, but a solid tactic.
Well, I at least agree that being boring is not a fatal flaw in technical writing, where it would be in a novel. So I suppose we don't disagree as much as it seemed at first.

I've also run into the same terminological overloading problem. In CS it's especially bad; papers from the 01980s would be already difficult to read for someone who'd only read the recent literature. The worst is when the different meanings are almost, but not quite, the same. For example, I was reading one of Steinmetz's first papers from the 01890s, and he uses the term "inductance" where now we would use "inductive reactance"; at a given frequency these quantities are proportional but the second one varies by frequency.

My knowledge of logic programming is not literally zero in that I've written Prolog code a few times and ported μKanren to OCaml in order to understand it, but it's also far from a deep understanding. Still, I'm optimistic about my ability to understand things.
from the article:

“a radio astronomer at McGill University in Montreal who wasn’t involved in either experiment, says that both EDGES and SARAS were extremely thorough in their calibration and analysis procedures, and that it’s too soon to say which result is correct. “The level of disagreement is enough to make people uncomfortable, but I think it’s far from the end of the story,” she said. “From my perspective, it adds to the excitement.”

And

“Stranger still, the dip was very pronounced, suggesting that hydrogen in the early universe was colder than theoretical models predicted, possibly because of exotic interactions with the dark matter that fills the cosmos.
Or perhaps the EDGES dip had a more mundane origin.”

The article seems to imply that the EDGES dip may be due to mundane, faulty experiment design, instead.

In any case, a little bit of excitement for those scientists.
Bitcoin does not care about regulations.
Absolutely! I would not purchase outright. But I have a wife and children, it makes it hard to not buy these things.
There's are LTS versions. You could always just use one of those and only upgrade when you feel the desire.
Have you seen the news in, like, the last three weeks?
Strange article; not sure why it's getting so much traction. It completely ignores the work of most of the administration, other than a sideways nod to the CIA's Bill Burns.
You left out that the donor was not supposed to be a donor at all.

I'd also argue that the doctor using his own probably has serious NPD, and if there is a genetic component to that, this is the last thing we need.
You're probably aware, but others might not be - while the MiG-21 is an _ancient_ design by military standards, it's more of a "chassis" than a "design". The MiG-21 was introduced in 1955, manufactured until 1985, and upgrades and modifications are still being done.

The first MiG-21 that came off the assembly line isn't really comparable to the variants being flown by Romania today.

A meeting that's mainly designed to let the employee give a pulse check, speak freely about annoyances and career path, and provide feedback to their manager, is a dystopian experience?

What's irrational is the function of masks is primarily to protect everybody else from the person wearing the mask, protecting the person wearing the mask is a secondary concern. Doctors in a surgical theater aren't wearing masks primarily to protect themselves from the patient, they're wearing masks to protect the patient from themselves. Given that - requiring toddlers to wear masks is pretty irrational. They don't need protection from themselves, they need protection from us. We're the ones who should be wearing masks whenever we're around toddlers.

Beyond that - teach toddlers how to properly wash their hands and keep their hands and fingers away from their face. That'll go a long way to keeping them healthy for a lifetime.
Optimizing Airline Tail Assignments for Cleaner Skies
It's where they're applying, I think: "Apple, Babylon, Cloudflare, Deliveroo, Monzo, Spotify, TrueLayer." Don't know anything about Babylon or TrueLayer but most of these are largish, established companies. I've found early-stage startups less picky recently - I got a job at a startup in November that only required 4 video interviews each between 30 minutes to an hour. No whiteboarding, mostly just discussing previous projects. Finally the last (4th) interview was with the CTO where he started by saying: "It's really hard to find people good people to hire right now" and basically said he wanted to hire me and asked if I had any questions.
You quite certainly did not sit in front of the supermarket's cash register with your mom's credit card shoving packs of cards over the counter for hours on end. The overall physicality of the process back in the day prevented the feedback loops to manifest. The lack of speed decoupled spending from gratification thus ensuring your behavior wouldn't devolve into a bonafide gambling addiction.
Traffic to hidden services stays within the tor network so you don't need exit nodes. However it isn't necessarily faster. As I understand it, with a typical hidden service, the hidden service nominates certain nodes for clients to use to make contact with it and the client and the service build tor circuits to those nodes thereby preserving the privacy of both clients and servers but you end up with longer circuits than those to exit nodes, and you are limited by the slowest node in that chain.
There is a mode for hidden services where you don't care about staying hidden (say you are twitter or the NYT running a service and everyone already knows who owns the site and where the datacenters are) where, as I understand it, you allow clients to build circuits directly to you which preserves client privacy but not server. This is more performant than a normal hidden service but I wouldn't call it fast.
There's a group in my city who meet every month to generate wacky noises from all sorts of things. With this thing's built-in generator and layout I feel like you could build a primitive step sequencer with those switches and dials and deliver a godlike performance of audio and engineering prowess.

Even better if you can voltage control the frequency. Then if you can introduce a delay in the oscillator output, filter it, then feed back into the variable resistor(?) that controls its frequency, you have the basis of a mini-FM synth - if you can get it to stay stable in the normal human hearing range of course...

Nothing really to add on the engineering side, just seeing how it looks, I want to hear it making some noise, although it's not its intended purpose.

Nice work on figuring out how to get it going again!
Even if I do not have any question, because I happen to be familiar with this kind of circuits, I just want to thank you for your work resulting in one more interesting article.

I suppose that there must be many like me, who normally would not feel the need to comment your articles, but who nonetheless enjoy very much reading them.

A long time ago, when I was young, I have worked with many devices and circuits similar to those reverse-engineered by you in this series of articles. Unfortunately at that time it was tedious and expensive to make photographic records of such technologies and such work, so now I am sad that I do not have records and the memories fade away.

Your articles fill this void and I am grateful for them.
Nice try but the exact opposite is true. During the past 8 years, those ethnic Russians have been snatching other random ethnic Russians from the streets in the Donbas region to torture them for days to weeks. They're no more than a bunch of Kremlin-controlled thugs. There are plenty of eye witness reports to corroborate the horrendous human rights violations in the Donbas region by their self-proclaimed governors and their goons - and they are radical Russian nationalists aka Neo-Nazis.
Many COVID-19 patients have experienced significant weight loss. Anecdotally that seems to be correlated with having a fever for several days. Patients aren't able to eat much, and seem to be burning a lot of calories just lying in bed.

(I am not recommending catching COVID-19 as a way to lose weight.)
My MS account does not have a phone number attached to it. Had the same account for over a decade. Never been locked out over it.

> My greatest concern was what to call it. I thought of calling it 'information,' but the word was overly used, so I decided to call it 'uncertainty.' When I discussed it with John von Neumann, he had a better idea. Von Neumann told me, 'You should call it entropy, for two reasons. In the first place your uncertainty function has been used in statistical mechanics under that name, so it already has a name. In the second place, and more important, no one really knows what entropy really is, so in a debate you will always have the advantage.' [1]

To be honest, the basics are always the same.

I started recently with Blender 3.0 and I can watch without any problem tutorials made with Blender 2.8 (3.5 years ago). Now that I'm getting more confident I can even watch tutorials from older versions and follow them without a problem.

And btw, you don't need to learn every new feature. Blender is a incredible versatile and ginormous software and you only need to learn what you need for your specific workflow. I can maybe know 1% of Blender and I'm superhappy with what I'm doing nowadays!
> Accounts are negative value for most customers who don't regularly return. It's a source of friction: who hasn't forgotten the password for a site their rarely go to then decide it's not worth doing the password reset (even if you use a password manager, it might not stay updated for "junk" sites)?

We want the internet to be kind of like Discord's auth, one where you can see what is going on in a server but there are some actions that require verification/authentication. Like you said, if you just want a sneak peak, no reason to verify your email or create a bad password. But if you want to leave a comment, you have to verify.
You’re right. I was afraid I wouldn’t get any responses to the resume so I was procrastinating. Hence the yak shaving.

I still think keeping the content and layout separate has its benefits but like you say, using any tool is better than what did.
Werewolves is my theory on the convoy.
I saw a diagram of traffic to an .onion domain, I think in a Tor Project browser, and it showed the traffic going through ~3 Tor relays, then ~3 'regular' Internet relays, then perhaps something else, then the .onion host.

Why the 'regular' Internet relays? It wasn't a hijack of some sort, this diagram was from the Tor Project. It wasn't an exception AFAICT, I saw it for multiple .onion hosts.

I assume the traffic is encrypted over the Internet relays, but it seems to add a bunch of potential vectors of attack, not to mention potential performance issues.

EDIT: 'clear' -> 'regular'
IMHO nicotine is the most efficient weight loss aid beside meth and it also dampens productivity decrease which is possible to experience if you don't eat enough. But there obviously are downsides.

No, the point is that viral research is inherently dual-use regardless of intent: "You can't research against diseases/viruses/etc without procuring, creating and developing them."
They made a mode where you assemble a team of players from past and present called Fifa Ultimate Team (FUT). You start with a team of players who each of a rating of about 70.

EA will release packs that contain star players with much higher ratings. In order to get these higher rated players on your team, you can either grind the game for several hours a day or pay to open some packs that might have the high rated players inside.

Fascinating image and reminded me momentarily of Frogspawn, which is kind of fitting as they are looking at the Frogspawn of time itself.
I do this sometimes but having to look up where child was defined and everything that could have changed it can be tiresome.

That's why a function can be better, at least you know that the value isn't changed somewhere unexpected.
