Agreed. I don't accept that someone who has, as another commenter wrote: "done the same old crap for 20 years" is unlikely to be a senior engineer.

I'm one of those. I don't know the latest JS frameworks. Or the ones that came before. But I can spot the problems in the project (e.g. performance, authentication, authorization), the security holes in the design before it's built, and coach newer developers on how to solve them. And I can make the case upwards for time/funding and make business cases for work.

Yup, pricey hotels to be clear. I stayed at a motel and the cabbies kept cancelling on me until I gave up and booked a Uber black. This was before UberX launched. The experience was so much better I took the car to the airport instead of the Bart station I had planned. Back in the day getting a cab in SF was next to impossible.

To add, I’ve also had to walk 3 miles in frigid SF fog and sleep in the office because I couldn’t find transportation back home.

Like their housing, this artificial scarcity ruined SF for me. On the flip side most Uber/Lyft drivers drive like maniacs now. So I guess there’s a line to be drawn somewhere in between the two craziness.
can you comment on your setup a bit?

I've been using cartes du ciel over remote desktop to my laptop with serial connections to the telescope. it's not super performant (neither is stellarium). I'm thinking about using the ascom over tcp bits that these clients like to implement.
Probably "up to date" was the wrong phrase-- it's more "are the fundamentals there". I've had lots devs send me assignments that miss the table stakes of front-end dev work: is it keyboard navigable, are proper elements used, is the CSS something we can actually work with.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting? Just a chat where we go over all that stuff? I'm happy to take into consideration other ways of assessing.
>About 33-50% of devs that pass the two interviews fail the coding test.

I don't mean to sound insulting, but if your organization can't tell if someone knows what they are talking about after an interview, much less two interviews, what the heck is going on?
Poorly conducted 1:1s are a waste of time. When done right it is magic.
Are we sure it is CCP IP address. CGTN might have established offices outside PRC and those might be the one publishing these.

Also, banning CGTN is not the way, just like banning RT wasn't. I can understand banning demonstrably false misinformation but that should be content specific, complete RT ban doesn't sit right with me.

Economist has published articles stating how Iraq war was justified or NYT with their WMD propoganda. RT was doing it at a massive scale but it doesn't seem right nonetheless.
Not caring would be the default position of a company, no?
It won't, because you can't know if the misbehavior is caused by a device or the host controller when you're looking behind the host controller. Everything you see in usbmon is influenced by both. And besides, a malfunctioning device can't cause your entire USB controller to bork; that indicates a bug in the USB controller or its driver by definition, making usbmon inherently unreliable in that scenario.
twitter3e4tixl4xyajtrzo62zg5vztmjuricljdp2c5kshju4avyoid.onion does not work due to CORS. (For me, it doesn't matter much since Twitter depends on JavaScript and Nitter does not.)
Predicting the Past with Ithaca
I remember coming to San Francisco on business trips 11-12 years ago. Cabs were impossible to find - one of the selling points of our office building was that it had a cab stand, so it was a bit easier. We'd walk blocks to find hotels so we could get a cab. We'd call and they'd show up 30+ minutes later, if we were lucky. It was really really frustrating. It made experiencing the city without a car really challenging.

Uber was an incredible breath of fresh air. It just worked. It's more expensive now, but it still just works. And it's probably still cheaper than taxis were.

I wouldn't want to go back.
It's funny. I read the article and do not arrive at the same obvious/apparent conclusion the auther theirself does about Cassidy's position being reasonable, merely legal.

To me the reasonable thing to do is if you want to get out then get out, sell back your stake. If you want to stay in then stay in, work on the project full time or work out some new plan where all stakeholders agree to switch to day jobs and put this into hobby mode.

But if you just want to maintain a stake to collect rent, and demand cash that doesn't even exist, seriously F that guy. The only reason he's in the legal right to be this douchy is because they failed to write their 'pre-nup' properly, not because he's actually in the right and his position and expectations are reasonable.
> China has been repeatedly saying they wouldn’t invade Taiwan

China also promised that Hong Kong would operate as it had until 2047 so clearly the Taiwanese have reason to question the sincerity of these claims.
My understanding is that Busybox and buildroot are largely maintained by individual consultants which is pretty similar (although there's no larger company around them.)
> Well, considering that capitalism has been the biggest source of good in the world

Really? Capitalism == Peak of goodness?
You haven't given any example.

The best measure for forcing Russia to withdraw is lack of funds.

At least give a decent alternative that would work... I tried to think of "any" other and there is no viable one.

Except if China would remove the lifeline, which they won't. Since they can buy Russian energy/food companies for pennies on the dollar.

New Zealand is just at the beginning of its first major wave and deaths lag considerably, so it's a bit early to be drawing this comparison. I would agree they're likely to experience a lower death count than the U.S. but not by this magnitude.

Also, presumably the epidemiological factors which are causing Americans to die from COVID at higher rates are also likely to apply to Americans who are infected while traveling to New Zealand.
Calling Russia's war against Ukraine a "war" is speech that Russians in Russia need anonymity for right now. And that's not banned by Twitter.
My friend was a member of the transplant team at Johns Hopkins. "They" said he was near multiple organ failure prior to the transplant. And he survived significantly longer than expected. Recovery under those circumstances was a very long shot already. Kudos to him for undergoing the procedure, and furthering the research. Condolences to he and his family.
> wiped out

Really? Yellow taxis are alive and well in NYC.

The drivers who were 'wiped out' are the ones that bought a medallion at the peak of a bubble. They were victims of predatory lenders as much or more than Uber or Lyft.

Most drivers rent cabs and medallions for a fixed price and then keep whatever fares they earn. Even drivers who own medallions would typically let them out to other drivers so the cab could be on the streets for as close to 24 hours as possible.

Rideshare services have made the medallions less valuable because drivers for them don't need to rent a cab and medallion, and so the owners can demand less for renting them out. In other words, it has given labor _more_ power, and the typical cab driver is doing better.

If you've been noticing less cabs lately, it's probably Covid related, as the pandemic has diminished the demand for all types of travel, particularly in Manhattan.
That Smedley Butler sort of arrangement was definitely the idea through the 1950s (and arguably was less disgusting than the racist murder that previously motivated the USA military on "the frontier" and in Philippines), but more recently the resource extraction firms are often simply outbid by the war firms. After all, Chevron has to spend most of its money getting oil out of the ground and into a gas pump. Raytheon, on the other hand, doesn't have to produce weapons that perform well by any measure, (...which may be why our military since 1946 hasn't been fit to shine the shoes of our military just before then?) so they have a lot more to dole out to politicians, media firms, and think tanks. It's not as though we got any valuable contracts from the mess we made of Libya.
>Lets hear all sides

There is no all sides. a big fat kid beating up a skinny kid when that skinny kid did NOTHING to the big fat kid.

where's all sides? when you punch someone first regardless of your reason. you lose all moral high ground. especially Russia's reason is absurd.

i don't understand why people believe there is any sides to this war.
Well, he certainly had a ton of help from other people to ensure he wasn't taking shots in the dark most of the time. He copied most of his best ideas from other sources, and point-blank refused to acknowledge Woz and Apple 2, publicly denigrating their work when it would've been SO easy to just give them a quick shout-out.

I'd consider this, at best, waiting by the goal for the puck to be passed so he can flick it in behind the goalie, and then being good at raising his arms in triumph. Did Gretzky wait for the assist, or was his brilliance that he himself could make tremendous opportunities and then flick it in as well? At least "visionaries" like Elon and Bill Gates coded up solutions themselves when they needed to.
There was a possibility to rescue Columbia, but it would have been very difficult:

https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/02/the-audacious-rescue...

That there was "no other feasible plan" than re-entry was presumably because the risk of re-entry was assumed to be low. If the risk was correctly estimated to be higher, then it seems likely the rescue plan would become feasible (since, what other choice would NASA have?)
Russian Soldiers Looting Chickens
Researching viruses in general is not a dual-use activity. Most viruses spread everywhere when they get out. Pathogens like anthrax can't spread from human to human, making them plausible weapons and proportionally decreasing the urgency of researching them. (The labs may have been researching anthrax but the odds are fair that none of their research involved anything that could be a weapon.)

Edited to replace virus with "pathogen".
> Why is your time more valuable than mine?

No one is forcing anyone to apply for a job at any company. As the seller of labor, you get to choose how much to invest in any one opportunity. Just like someone selling apples can choose to open a roadside stand, try to get into a grocery store, or sell direct to consumer.

The buyer, of course, gets to choose the process by which they evaluate the labor (or the apples). If you don't like how the buyer evaluates what you are selling, find another buyer.
> what does a senior developer mean ?

This actually does mean something, but SV companies have been handing it out like bullshit for so long that most of us don't even recognize that, and reject what it means as absurd because it's so completely unrelated to how it's used in our industry.

Junior means <= 3 years of experience.

Intermediate means <= 6 years of experience.

Senior means <= 9 years of experience.

Staff means > 9 years experience

Sign up goes well. But your email confirmation link seems to be broken or on a reject list: when I click the link, then it fails from domain "pstmrk.it" and doesn't seem to reach rownd.io. IMHO email confirmation links should go directly to the expected domain and company, not anywhere else.
I would have echoed your criticism after the first read but I was able to try again and really get into the flow and it’s a great work in part because of the lack of punctuation
This product is absolutely for the same kind of people who shop at Restoration Hardware, Gucci, Cartier, etc.

If it was for creative pros, it would have HDR. A $1600 monitor with no HDR, can you believe it? You can buy an entire laptop with an HDR mini-LED monitor from Apple for very nearly the same price. The base model iPhone mini can shoot in HDR but you can't play it back on the brand new Apple StUdIo MoNiToR from 2022.

No one is suggesting that they'll sign up for a proxy war out-of-the-blue. But the Russians are clearly surprised by the hostile resistance they've met from ordinary Ukrainians. I think they really thought that they would be welcomed or at least met with indifference.

Every time I've heard a militant Chinese unification advocate talk about Taiwanese unification, they scoff at the idea that the Taiwanese would actually resist a PLA invasion. Now that possibility can't be ignored.

Do you remember all the time in college where your professor explained the intricacies of cache hits, access latencies, and branch prediction when going over algorithms?

As it turns out, designing a fast algorithm involves a lot more than what is covered in the textbooks. This is why something like Timsort can generally outperform quicksort even though a naive algorithms course overview may well come to the opposite conclusion.

If my job is not to design these algorithms, why does it matter if I can write a naive implementation of one?
This "implication" of what the fake news propaganda articles are trying to say, is that there is some WMD superweapon being developered by Ukraine to genetically target Russians. Like that disease in the new James Bond movie.

That is the part that is clearly the fake propaganda. The US and Ukraine are not working together to design a disease meant to genetically target Russians, like from the movie James Bond.

NZ didn't have draconian lockdowns in the plural, their draconian policy was in the singular and applied to travellers from abroad. Children attended school and team sports as usual, for example.

Also, having a covid wave with 94% of adults fully vaccinated isn't "just as much of a covid problem" as the waves in unvaccinated populations elsewhere last year.

The trade war was inevitable. Trump only made it crude, jingoistic, and America-centric rather than getting a hemispheric alliance. He alienated his closest trading partners (Europe but Canada especially) while simultaneously undermining the trade relationship with China.

He was a blundering fool and his weakness contributed directly to the current situation in Ukraine, who he was willing to throw under the bus.

I think "the west" (if we can speak of that still, though maybe we can even more after this latest crisis in Ukraine) will likely need an internally coherent trading bloc to counteract the situation in the east.

That probably means a radical shift away from the China-Pacific trade push of the last 20-30 years and back towards a north-south and transatlantic route. My own country, Canada used to be a net food exporter, but now is a net importer, with large quantities of produce coming from China. It's going to have to change.

Billions have been spent trying (and mostly failing) to build pipelines to Pacific tidewater to export Canadian oil and gas (LNG) to China. We should have been sending it east. Germany could do with copious amounts of LNG right now, and the US and Canada could be providing it, but the planning wasn't there.

I can only hope the current crisis accelerates decarbonization in response -- but I fear the opposite will happen. All the "green energy" stocks I own are down, while oil and gas is up.
I think the sense of entitlement is on the hiring manager's side if they want multiple applicants to burn through 6-8 hours of free time to take an assessment of their skills. Then those same hiring managers are the ones complaining about how they can't find employees.
Apple does this because they do not respect their customers.
As cool as it might look, does Prezi actually solve any real problem/need in information presentation? The spatial & hierarchical organization of the presentation feels very gimmicky for 99% of the presentations where it is absolutely irrelevant.
> New Zealand is just at the beginning of its first major wave...

Yes, and they're entering it with a well-vaccinated population, especially in the vulnerable age groups. Even with variants in play, evidence points heavily to that meaning cases won't lead to significant numbers of severe disease and death.
At that point where the personal work area budget of 200k really doesn't care if your monitor arm costs $50 or $2000... well it doesn't matter anymore.

Price-fighting over workplace items only applies to the mass market. (which is both the problem and the solution: if you want to save some money, buy a different stand and VESA-mount it)
I'm not going to reason your argument because I've noticed it never works. I think you also want the things you're listing, but what is your core reason to refuse the vaccine?

- You distrust the medical science of vaccines?

- You distrust the data showing the current effect of mass vaccination?

- Is it truly about individualism, or religion?

- Does it have to do with politics and those damned democrats?

- Because the governments didn't ask nicely?

Remember that we're trying to stop deaths, not infections. It would be awesome if we could stop infections, but COVID mutates. Nevertheless, deaths have decreased sharply among the vaccinated population.
On my machine:

$ cat main.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
int n = printf("Hello, World!\n");
return n < 0 ? 1 : 0;
}

$ cc main.c
$ a.out
Hello, World!
$ echo $?
0
$ a.out > /dev/full
$ echo $?
0

Problem is, printf is buffered. When redirecting to /dev/full writing to the buffer works. The problem only manifests when the buffer is flushed.

This works, as write is not buffered;

#include <unistd.h>

int main(void) {
int n = write(1, "Hello, World!\n", 14);
return n < 0 ? 1 : 0;
}

But even then, to find out what exactly went wrong, we would have to check errno.

It's easier in Go, because fmt functions do have an error return which will report such errors;

func main() {
_, err := fmt.Println("Hello, World!")
if err != nil {
os.Exit(1)
}
}

Refunding the $40 was the right move and in keeping with CD Baby's ethos of the artist comes first.
>Do you also think the US army should stop running recruitment ads targeting teens? What about BP advertisements which are really just to get political support?

I can't speak for the previous commenter, but I do not understand the implied complexity of bringing up those two examples. I would absolutely agree with removing them, just as much as removing propaganda ads from Chinese state media.
I personally like talking about life-stuff with certain people, but not with all. In practice there's a handful of people where we do share those things, and a bunch where we don't.

And imo that's totally fine.

We usually start 1:1's with a little smalltalk, then list the agenda points that both participants have prepared. We cover those, and if there's time left we either talk about life, freestyle into broad work topics or end the meeting early.

There are times when I feel like a meeting wasn't valuable, but by far most are valuable. Especially in a fully remote team (even pre-covid), it is a moment to talk and get to know one another (again, only if both parties want to)
> Most of them force it actually

This is my experience. I literally watched the VC board at a previous company get mad at my then CEO for not spending their cash quickly enough.

Moreover - he was hardly the most fiscally responsible to begin with - exorbitant class A office space, expensive contractors, fully stocked kitchen and snacks, game systems and bean bag chairs in break rooms. Paying customers? Nah - not so much.

But they wanted him to spend FASTER. "you need to adjust spending to be at around a 6 month runway - currently you're at 18. That's too high - spend more!"

My thoughts on the process are two-fold

1. A short runway and high expenses offer opportunities for those VCs to double down in the inevitable next round sooner, at rates more favorable to them

2. They are gambling - they want to either hit the jackpot or bust. They do not want to sit at the table all day (for example, by running slow growing self-sustaining company)
Thankfully, I've never had to deal with this problem.

I learned that I don't want to get better at management, so I am no longer a manager.

I assume that managers have ways to evaluate managers, but I don't know the gruesome details.
And could have had the same problem as Columbia. There was no quick fix to ensure Atlantis didn't meet the same fate.

Hiring someone isn't free, if only due to the opportunity cost of filling a role in your business with someone unsuitable.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting you, but the only taxes the Amish don't pay are services they have been specifically exempt from paying (FICA, because their religion has a specific obligation to take care of their elderly) and taxes that come through state usage fees like driver's licenses. They pay federal and state income taxes, property taxes, and any other tax that comes along with those.
Grading theses, this is a very common trap. Students believe they have to be creative, change it up and use a Thesaurus. Because that is in fact what everyone is taught in school!

Yet, technical writing doesn't work that way. Synonyms are almost always wrong. We have the luxury of precision, where most often one term means one concept or thing. A 1:1 mapping with little ambiguity. Deviating from that is almost always the wrong decision.

Also notice the style I am writing this comment in. Short, concise, to-the-point sentences. Sparing use of filler words (thus, however, ...). I wish all technical writing was more like that (and I find that good technical writing either is, or is on such a high level that they can get away with longer sentences). I believe it a boon: you get a style of "Statement. Statement. Idea. Question. Idea. Statement. Solution. Conclusion.", if that makes sense, allowing easier mental access and partitioning. Technical topics are hard, and writing should accommodate the reader, making it as easy as possible.
