The interpretations don't tell you anything that the calculations didn't tell you already (if an interpretation of quantum mechanics ever predicts something different from what quantum mechanics predicts, then it can be ruled out empirically by performing the appropriate experiment). Interpretations which don't give you a faster way to get to the results of those calculations just waste your time and get in the way of understanding. Theoretical computer science indicates that there is no significantly faster way to get the results of many of those calculations - no matter how elegant the interpretation feels, at best you have to do the same amount of work to get the same answers about what will actually happen in reality, and at worst you end up computing a million irrelevant details about things the interpretation invented which have no real-world consequence.

Someone who is genuinely interested in understanding the way the world works ends up asking questions about what goes into the calculations - what's the Lagrangian, how many degrees of freedom (i.e. quantum fields) are there, what symmetries or constraints are satisfied by the laws of physics, how can we set up the math to avoid pathological situations where the results of our computations are infinite, and so on. Philosophically motivated interpretations of quantum mechanics shed exactly zero light on these questions.

Well.. there is a caveat. If quantum mechanics was somehow incorrect - that is, if unitary evolution of a state vector in a Hilbert space didn't actually describe reality at all - then all of the above would be wrong. But in that case, every single interpretation of quantum mechanics would be wrong as well. Quantum computers would just flat out not work.

>Most Taiwanese people prefer the status quo

I think you're conflating whether Taiwanese people see themselves as independent, on the one hand, and whether they wish to formally declare that, on the other.

"The majority of Taiwanese believe that Taiwan is already an independent country called the Republic of China. ... more than 70 percent of Taiwanese agree with this statement." [0]

Note that I never said the people of Taiwan want to formally declare independence, which may risk starting a war. I'm prepared to accept that many Taiwanese are content with a "status quo" of diplomatic ambiguity, but I never suggested otherwise.

Curious if you could compare/contrast the interview methods between the different companies.

Were any of them more challenging? Did they all expect perfect working optimal code and/or make you run test cases, or was it more like "ok you more or less have the right algorithm" or something in between?

How fast do you generally solve various LC questions on your own? Thanks in advance, appreciate sharing your experience.

Going to jail is a lot scarier than getting a bonus clawed back and losing your job when you have enough to retire on already.

Personal fines and no prison time just tweak the risk/reward calculation a little bit. These executives make a lot of money, and I would guess if they are the type to do illegal behavior they wouldn't mind gambling if the reward is great enough. I could even see it making this behavior more likely to happen if it's clear that they won't go to jail for illegal behavior and all they have to worry about is a fine and losing their job.

You may have a point regarding some plugins, but complaining about it here isn't very fair to Vital:

>additional software, security tools (digital dongles) and drivers

Vital appears to install/require none of these things.

>found the free version to be limited in many subtle ways

Subtle how? It's all listed on their home page: there are less presets (you can make your own) and there are less wavetables (you can import your own). The only functional limitation is on using the "text-to-wavetable" feature to generate wavetables.

Otherwise, you have all the same modulation, filtering, wavetable morphing, & FX that the paid version does. If you choose to pay for it, you're basically just buying more presets.
There are too many variables to assume containment was the primary driver here.

Obesity is a massive contributor to death, and we all know that no country in Western Europe is remotely close to the US in that category. Sweden took the opposite approach of New Zealand, for example, and has a lower death rate than the strictest US states did, and lower than most European countries. They are also infinitely healthier than the US as a population, which represents a confounding variable.

Even within the US, Utah performed better than Colorado, yet the two states are culturally dissimilar and Utah has a far more conservative government, despite them bordering each other and having similar climates.

I like your event sourcing approach. I was recently looking into YugabyteDB changde data capture and it quickly became apparent that cdc can be used for exactly that. I wrote about It here: https://gruchalski.com/posts/2022-02-23-yugabytedb-change-da....

One problem with the cdc approach is not having a way to monitor ddl operations. However, at least in any Postgres capable database with extensions support, it’s pretty easy to either: use pg_audit or write a rudimentary extension for ddl streaming.

Maybe you're just better at interviewing people than I am. (That sounds sarcastic, but it's not.) I'll try to take your advice to heart if I'm interviewing someone for a job in the future.

It's true that if someone has memorized the details of a "least favorite project" from dailywtf.com, or a "favorite project" from some other dev blog, they won't be able to go very deep into it; and if they don't have at least deep declarative knowledge about the technologies involved they won't be able to invent anything plausible either. Deep declarative knowledge, though, is still very different from debugging ability or the ability to find simple solutions to complex problems.

The enthusiasm thing is discussed pretty often in all kinds of job interview advice contexts, not just programming. I think many people make an effort to project enthusiasm in that situation, and in some other social situations like dating. Hopefully you're filtering for real enthusiasm instead of ability to emote, but realistically it's probably a combination.
I don't think it is. Each subsystem would have a small processor infront of it, that you communicate with over SPI, it would enforce the different safety parameters and do the local control. Things like setting PID values, monitoring and setting voltages, etc. It would ignore values that exceeded its predetermined operating envelope for the subsystem. It would have cost about an extra 1 or 2 dollars to implement this technique in the UPS.

Edit: I read this back to myself and realized it may come off as harsh or mean. I don’t intend it as such, and I apologize if it’s received that way. I think being precise about this is worth pursuing, for the sake of both developers thinking about it and users experiencing what we build.

Of course it matters.

“Well behaved react code” isn’t side-effect free, as much as it tries hard to look almost like it is. You can write perfectly idiomatic components which follow all best practices, and evaluating a component when you don’t intend to use it will still:

1. Execute the code (duh), which at minimum uses CPU resources

2. Perform relevant hooks and call lifecycle methods, including those which have side effects (hint: “effect” is in the hook’s name, for this reason): starting timers, loading resources, calling non-React APIs, pretty much anything goes by design, even if you follow all the rules and other best practices.

3. Prepare for a new, potentially concurrent, render. This may speculatively interrupt/pause a render in progress which would otherwise complete without interruption. Which may, in turn, cause seemingly unrelated components to be called again, cascading this entire set of potential side effects to them, and so on.

4. Call any components in that cascade whether they’re well behaved in your control, or epic shit show dependencies.

Being in an expression position does not mean it’s side effect free. If you don’t believe me, run this code:

const isPure = (value) => (
value = 'NOPE',
console.log('There is no code block in sight, this function has zero statements. Is it pure?', value),
value
);

isPure('yeah?');

And sure, React and most JSX implementations are designed to make evaluating JSX side effects local as much as possible. But that’s limited because it’s exposed to APIs not under its control by design, first of all. And more importantly, I would hope that, on HN of all places, a knowable answer to a factual question “is code executed?” is not treated as subjective. This is the exact same question as “is it control flow?”
Russian Flag in Readme
This popped in my GitHub feed.

There's an "awesome web-scraping" repo with ~5K stars.

A few days ago the maintainer added the Russian flag at the top of README.md

Someone raised this as an issue [0]

"Just a suggestion, having a Russian flag at the top of the page might not be the best idea?"
to which the maintainer simply replied

"Why not? I am Russian citizen and I support my country."

Seems trivial, but got me thinking of the implications.
E.g. how would a Ukrainian dev feel having his project showcased in this list, under the Russian flag?

Interesting, we’ve definitely had problems with Zendesk, on the implementation side. We’re really frustrated with the lack of customization of their chat client and just how massive it is, in terms of asset sizes. Simple things like showing the actual name of the agent you’re about to chat with just isn’t possible. Having phone, chat and email support all in one place is nice though and why we’re stuck with them.
You could very easily implement that pattern yourself in a react app as a few HoCs. So far I think the react project has done a pretty decent job at limiting the surface area of the API. This seems a bit high level.
> wattage doesn't really tell you how difficult it is to cool a part anymore

Sure it does. Reading the rest of your post I think you're more talking about temperature than cooling requirements, but a 200W CPU needs 200W of heat dissipation, while a 60W CPU only needs 60W of heat dissipation. It's literally a 1:1 relationship since CPUs don't do any mechanical work, so power in == heat out.

Keeping temperatures below some arbitrary number does then include things like density, IHS design, etc... But that only matters for something like Intel's "Thermal Velocity Boost" where it's really important to stay under 70C specifically instead of just avoiding thermal throttling.
I don't think this is particularly common at least among people I know. When people in the industry aren't happy with their job, they find a new job. If they aren't happy with the whole industry, they usually change to a different industry.

Air Force. The Army uses GFEBS (https://asc.army.mil/web/portfolio-item/general-fund-enterpr...), which wasn't exactly a walk in the park to transition to, but it was a success in the sense that the data migrations were basically completed 7 years ago, the project was not abandoned, and it is still used by the Army and expanding to additional users.

Honestly, the biggest question here might be why do other branches of service all need their own custom ERPs? Why not just use the Army's?

> is Amazon's shop owned to the exclusion of everyone else?

Not the online store. The land taken up by their supply chain, offices, and datacenters is all they are excluding others from using.

> Google's search is a utility with far less squinting

It's a valuable service, but because the service was built by humans, it should belong fully to those who built it. I don't see a justification for taxing the output of someone's labor just because it is popular. What they should give back to society is what they have taken from society, again the land that their office buildings and datacenters take up.

There is a more nuanced point about the natural monopolies of certain businesses due to network effects and economies of scale, but it's better to read the book for a full treatment, I can't do it justice.

> Is an Aqueduct natural common good?

I don't see why. It's built by human hands, designed by human engineers. The land the aqueduct takes up, and the reservoir of water it draws from are natural common goods, of course.

> what happens with open source software?

Software is very interesting. It is the output of labor clearly, but ideas are part of the public domain (ideas are there in nature to be discovered, anyone can discover an idea). If you package a set of open ideas into a service, I don't think anyone else has a claim on that service than you.

> I kind of get where you are trying to draw the line but I think we have progressed so far above "just land"

Land is not just land. "The term land embraces, in short, all natural materials, forces, and opportunities". Land is one of the three unique factors of production, along with labor and capital, it is everything that is not the product of human labor. (Labor is labor, and capital is the stored product of labor put to use to create more wealth)

> Admittedly, this situation presents a new set of challenges compared to the German invasion in 1938–1939, the main being a threat of a potential nuclear war. However, at some point, the Western allies will have to make a calculated military decision to take a stance against Putin’s violation of numerous fundamental norms of international law because inaction in this instance threatens the entire global order.

This seems to be underselling the potential for nuclear war or the start of a larger, direct/hot NATO-Russia war. Shooting down Russian aircraft is an act of war, and it would bring the U.S./NATO into direct conflict with Russia, a nuclear state. Russia could choose to respond by using nuclear weapons.

A “limited” no-fly zone does not change anything. If it is enforced by NATO forces, then it will start a direct conflict with Russia. If NATO doesn’t shoot down planes that violate the zone, then what is the point? Asking Russia to self-enforce a no-fly zone is pointless - if they are already violating international norms, why wouldn’t they just violate this one, too?

The fact that this article only mentions the threat of nuclear war in passing and offers no proposals to help avoid this is a major omission. Putin’s threat to “global order” would grow massively as a result of this because it escalates the conflict. The “calculated decision” would be to not risk nuclear war.

It just seems insane to me that this is even being discussed. The efforts should be to attempt to negotiate a ceasefire and avoid escalating the conflict outside of Ukraine (i.e. not NATO forces shooting down Russian planes).

This is absurd, if you're going to add the annotations at least have the runtime enforce them, otherwise all this is doing is saving a "compile" step for ts users specifically.

It would actually be a net negative for JS, as it would allow the syntax to be shipped on sites, and then because it isn't actually checked at runtime you will inevitably end up with sites if the engines ever do start performing type checks, and so will directly prevent them from adding it later.

So as I understand things:

* This does not actually add type checking

* It does not support the full typescript syntax, so you don't get to skip a compile stage

* This prevents JS engines actually adding type checking later, due to breaking existing content
High performance barcode decoding (e.g. scandit) uses the GPU.

After all, a modern cell phone could be producing 4k 30fps video, and high performance barcode decoders will detect linear barcodes with lines a single pixel wide, even in the presence of moderate noise/blur/overexposure (e.g. the barcode on a shiny can of coke)

Of course, I've got no idea if browsers will provide high performance barcode reading, or something simpler like zxing.

And I've got to say, it's not obvious to me why browsers would implement a barcode scanning API in preference to a more general accelerated image processing API. Plenty of other applications want to do real time video processing in the browser - such as video call background removal.
