I recently did their final round of coding interviews plus leadership principles. It's not a bad idea in theory, but the way they go about it makes it very clear that you're just supplying input to an algorithm where the output is hire or no-hire, and the person asking the question only cares about taking the answer and fitting it in to a nice text box on their screen to send to HR.

I realized pretty quickly with their followup questions that there was no point in answering truthfully with your real reasoning and thought process. I think you're much better off making up a story that perfectly covers the principle they're asking about, so they can take it and just put it down directly on their form. It felt like they had leetcodified non-coding interview questions.
What happened after Starlink's internet service arrived in Ukraine?
Modern heat pumps, for example by Mitsubishi and sold in the UK, maintain a COP > 2.5 at -7C.
Wait - does this mean that if Steam ships on Chromebook, and Steam can be made to run arbitrary software via proton, that Chromebooks have become regular laptops?

Surely mid 20-s, 25°C ,is really hot? Where is that a winter low.
>It's not new, AMD has been doing this for a while with their Infinity Fabric technology (and before that, technologies like SLI and Crossfire achieved the same thing on a software level)

None of those technologies make multiple GPU dies look like a single physical GPU to software.

As covered by the Anandtech quote you dislike so much:

> This has made combining multiple GPUs in a transparent fashion something of a holy grail of multi-GPU design. It’s a problem that multiple companies have been working on for over a decade, and it would seem that Apple is charting new ground by being the first company to pull it off.

However, that article does go into additional detail.

>Unlike multi-die/multi-chip CPU configurations, which have been commonplace in workstations for decades, multi-die GPU configurations are a far different beast. The amount of internal bandwidth GPUs consume, which for high-end parts is well over 1TB/second, has always made linking them up technologically prohibitive. As a result, in a traditional multi-GPU system (such as the Mac Pro), each GPU is presented as a separate device to the system, and it’s up to software vendors to find innovative ways to use them together. In practice, this has meant having multiple GPUs work on different tasks, as the lack of bandwidth meant they can’t effectively work together on a single graphics task.

I have a general dislike for Canonical, and I've been very critical of many things they've done in the past, but I don't think this criticism is fair, for a few reason.

Canonical has pushed a lot of code upstream. They could definitely be better at this, and of the big Linux companies they're among the worst at it, but open source has without a doubt benefited greatly because of Canonical's efforts.

The code they used is also licensed by its authors to allow what they do.

Now that I've defended Canonical, I need to take a shower to try to feel clean again ;-) (just meant to be a light-hearted joke)
I _just_ ripped out our ~10yo heat pump at home, installed a fully gas furnace. The accursed thing was so loud and it sat right outside my office. When working from home over the winter, it would fire up and drown out any conversation in my office. I gladly ripped it out and danced on its grave.
The American reluctance towards both heat pumps and induction hobs is very puzzling to me. Both systems are commonplace enough that they would be the default option for any new build or replacement system in my country, unless you have special requirements.

I understand the issues with very cold temperatures, and I'm curious what proportion of American households would expect to see outside temperatures below -17C/0F - I doubt it would be enough to explain the reluctance but I could be way wrong.
This smells like a company trying to say there aren't enough qualified candidates, we need a bunch of h1bs.
Heat pumps in heating mode lose efficiency on a continuous (with lowering temperature) basis; the colder it is outside and/or the hotter output (air or water) you want to get from the unit, the lower efficiency they have.

Being the devil's advocate for a second: why? If they become adult white collar workers they will be indoors most of the time, interacting with technology. I loved being outside as a kid and teen, but is it really deleterious if the new generations don't get exposed to that?
GitHub really needs to explain itself here. I reported this repo, and of course they never really tell you what they decide to do. However, I asked them specifically to clarify themselves on their malware policies. Since from the looks of it, GitHub declared this as malicious code, but then still left the repo up and the maintainer has apparently suffered no consequences, since he later reverted the malicious code.

So the message they are apparently sending here is that means that it's totally OK to host malware on GitHub, given that it's targeted against a politically unpopular group of people, and if you later revert the change after it's done a bunch of damage.

Are some of those Russian developers assholes who support the Ukrainian genocide? Probably yes, but it's an extremely bad precedent to set to allow someone to use your platform for this just because it's politically fashionable.

And yes, I know that there are other things that other people might consider "malware" on GitHub under an overbroad definition of it (exploit PoCs, things like yt-dl, etc.), but this is pretty clear cut, since it hid this "feature" from users and very clearly caused destruction. Either the developer is incompetent at writing obfuscated code and the wiping functionality was a mistake (unlikely), or they are just that dishonest about what their motives actually were. Or just plain delusions of grandeur, equating cyberwarfare with peace...

Apparently though, it's all OK in this instance since it's collective punishment against the right group of people. I think the thing that makes me most angry about this is that the malware developer used the assumption that geo-ip databases are always 100% accurate...
I have a mix of guilt, fear, shame and anger when look at photos from Kharkiv.

I realized that it's so easy for this discussion to go sideways and it was not my intention. Everything what is happening is like a nightmare, even after 2014.

This is the first time I see this song, it's disgusting. Also, I stopped following Katz after I learned that he was on Moscow dept of transportation payroll. Imo anyone taking money from state owned organizations is compromised.
>if anything they're again entirely focused on it after a decade spent in the wilderness throwing money at doomed efforts

But what features have they really added lately? I looked over the the change logs over the last year and the only notable new features to the browser was a theme color wheel and adding search results (Ctrl + F) showing up on the scroll bar. It doesn't seem like they are innovating the browsing experience.
It's greatest success was in killing or driving off native populations or smaller groups of other settlers (French, Spanish, Mexican) to get 7 million sqkm of prime real estate only found to the same scale in Europe (where it's divided among 40+ countries) and China (surprise-surprise, the main rival).

A place like Germany, for example, I find in no way inferior to the US, population wise, but it's geographically much more constrained and in much less defensible position.
So… half a banana?

Police arrest child abusers and traffickers all the time... But as long as there's demand for CP people will create it (like many illecit activities), hence trying to reduce the demand (through making consequences for possessing it).

It's funny, comments on this site regularly demonize all sorts of non-consentual images (revenge porn for example) and rightly so but CP is the ultimate non-consentual image - a child doesn't even understand sexuality, isn't sexually mature, never mind able to consent... And there's comments here downplaying it, borderline condoning it...
It's happen to all of us frankly. Now I also keep the default shell on remote machines. I guess it's a cognitive trick where I feel uneasy at the different prompt and key bindings (I use zsh with bindkey -v locally).

We do not know about the long term effects of the MMR vaccine is either. Will kids who received it instantly die at the age of 60? We don’t actually know.

Another valid concern.

Heat pumps are and have been very common in Sweden for the past 20 years or so, ever since our silly government started a) exporting electricity to Europe and b) started shutting down perfectly fine nuclear plants, and thus raised the price of our once insanely cheap electricity.

Lots of houses here used to be heated using resistive, electric radiators, through the 70s-90s. Now most of those houses are primarily heated using heat pumps.

Mitsubishi is the most recommended manufacturer by local heat pump aficionados - yes, there kinda is such a thing...

Very good comparisons IMO.
Not mentioned in this article is the way indigenous people are a victimised by Facebook for just... being, because their traditional dress (in non-sexual contexts) is considered too revealing by Facebooks standards.

That would be a convenient explanation! - but I began my career in CA and moved to Seattle in '99. I've worked for a handful of startups, a few mid-size companies, and three of the megas.

I remember replacing Novell LANalyzer for Windows with Ethereal, so it doesn't seem that long ago to me. Of course I also remember replacing The Sniffer from Network General which ran under DOS with LANalyzer for Windows.
Sure, but default "predict not-taken" is a very decent zero-cost heuristic that hardware will probably keep using for the foreseeable future.
It’s the liberal that’s holding the power here, not the Christian that is fighting an uphill battle to preserve their religious lifestyle, and the right to parent their own children how they want.

It’s clear for all that opening the floodgates of porn into social media and platforms that both adults and _children_ use will cause this particular category of content to dominate the entire space. It’ll also lock out any children from most social media whose parents refuse (and rightfully so) to let them see porn. Not that this effort will always be successful, because children who don’t know any better will cave in to peer pressure from friends. This dystopia where what’s essentially filmed prostitution finds its way into almost all spaces in society, including children’s lives, is what the very powerful liberal wants.

Shouldn’t you be more concerned about the increase in women and girls forced to sell their dignity to survive? Is the suffering of people not more important to you than your cummies?
Tangential question(s): is there a way to lock node projects within a folder, that is, prevent any scripting action going outside its source folder? Creating a group that has permissions to specific folder helps? How can one isolate these projects (possible) harmful behaviour?
The closest thing I can think of is the Debian Project, which does have an organizational structure based on committees: https://www.debian.org/intro/organization. Debian is the base on which most Linux-based operating systems build themselves. A lot appears to be done by resolutions, which has its own set of problems. It's at least a counterpoint to the idea of the most successful projects being led by the personality of one person, as leadership has changed regularly.
Curiously what kind of tasks do you use your bot on? I’m surprised you’re able to use an android emulator. My understanding is that device attestation can detect emulation, which would place the account into a higher risk tier. But maybe as long as you’re under the rate limit for things like profile hits and messages then they let it slide.

That’s why I was thinking web would be easier because you can easily change your header and forego device attestation and emulator detection.

Windows needs a change in priorities
I'm keeping an eye on Skia to try out some vector based UI ideas I've been marinating for a while.
I've been a hardcore text-and-CLI-first-maybe-only guy for decades, as a workflow optimization rule. I coined my own private little name for it too: CLIFMO. I have my own development process and architecture strategy all associated with that name/abbrev. (Which I might write down and share one day, haha.)

one thing I love about having a plaintext bias when working is that many opportunities arise to design ad hoc DSLs, as I need them. when they begin to feel like a net win

its also fairly easy to start blurring the lines between text notes and working code, esp with shell scripts and langs like Python
That's revenue though, not profit. Subtract office rent or home office expenses, laptops and other hardware, server running costs, overhead like this hiring process / HR / legal / sales / ..., employee-specific overhead costs like health insurance (if I get $50k/y then a few % is subtracted for health insurance, but half of that % I never see and the employer has to add on top of the agreed-upon salary)... and maybe you want to keep a buffer for unforeseen events (having to do without your Ukrainian employees for a while, sick leave, new covid wave where anyone with a child is at like 50% capacity, etc.). I'm no businessman but this is just what I can think of that my employer has to take care of from a developer-level position myself.

Even if in most countries the rate is less than half the USA's, without doing the actual math this sounds like quite a tight margin to be honest.
Maybe liability would encourage some changes. If you pay the maintainer they are liable for security vulnerabilities but if you don't pay then you are liable.

I’ve been at it for 30 years and I still need career advice and actively seek it out. There does come a point where it’s not as easy to find folks with as senior experience as you have, but the folks I took advice from when I was young aged with me and their advice is still useful as they have already gone through my stage of career. The key becomes finding those people that seem to be able to distill experiences in ways that are insightful and are rigorously self reflective, then nurturing your relationships with those people to be sure you don’t lose touch.

Finally I would say at a certain point you learn about your career as much by helping others more junior navigate their own. As you give them advice you realize things about your own experience that are profound for yourself that you wouldn’t have analyzed as deeply without the prompting.
The laws of heat engines are governed by the relative temperature on the hot and cold side. It's easy to push a little water uphill, but beyond a little it becomes a progressively more farcical exercise.

Cold and humid seem to be the worst combination from reviews I've seen for minisplits, because the second biggest problem is heat transfer, and transferring heat through ice is very inefficient. Every time the ice begins to insulate the coils, you have to run the system backward to heat the pipes above freezing and melt off the buildup. Not only does that lower the efficiency of the system but eventually it limits the duty cycle, because you can't be thawing and pumping at the same time. And so you are attacked from all sides by both physics and logistics.
Because air source heat pumps are the only efficient way to electrify HVAC besides heat pump boilers. Climate change mitigations (in this case, gas->electric) and all that jazz.
Why have you chosen a system with a non-contradiction axiom?

Why didn’t you choose dialetheism?

Seems like an arbitrary choice… Could it be that you are culturally biased in the orthodoxy of Western philosophy dating all the way back to Aristotle?

To be clear, chromebooks have for a few years been able to be regular labtops since crouton [1] allowed installing linux distros on them. (And could even use wine to run windows games on the x86 chromebooks.)

You're not making a great case by saying we need to stop the drug cartels that exist because of prohibition and keep track of the military capabilities of countries we probably sold arms to.

Neither of those things seem worth empowering a group to have the capability of spying on the domestic population.
I'd recommend two things. The first is Brad Myers' Software Structures for User Interfaces course at Carnegie Mellon University, which focuses on the guts of how graphical user interfaces work.

https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bam/uicourse/05631fall2021/

The second is Dan Olsen's book Developing User Interfaces, which has all of the details of how GUIs work, from graphics to interactor trees to events to dispatching. For some reason, it's absurdly expensive on Amazon right now.

Both Dan Olsen and Brad Myers were early pioneers in GUIs and GUI tools, so you'd be learning from the masters.
How about Linux? KDE and by extension WebKit/Blink(KHTML)?
I would definitely suggest starting with SDL, because it is a "single, simple, universal and basic API to 'open a window and draw pixels'" and it recently added an API to draw geometry directly without OpenGL. It also gives you a flexible event system that can be used for messaging.
How about fully leaving Google ecosystem and switching to a GNU/Linux phone, Librem 5 or Pinephone.
I’ve been using BC since the early 2000’s, so probably more than 15 years. I know it backwards and forwards. If you set it up right, it is pretty powerful. It allows a lot of the stuff that other tools fail on to be overcome. Manual alignment is a dream. The rules based comparison is very nice. Ignoring unimportant differences removes pretty much all the white space differences. The ease of selecting arbitrary blocks and moving them left or right is powerful. I’ve tried both Windiff and kdiff3 and both have missing features.

Back before git, it was common to take a massive set of changes and merge them manually when merging branches, and BC was the only tool that made it painless for me.

I stumped up my own cash for a pro license and I use it almost daily even now.
I was not aware of those when I started making this!
I don’t think so. Probably because it’s still much easier to get users to install ransomware by phishing or by disseminating USB sticks.

Yep, It’s a poor comparison, the Mac chip has up to 128 gig of RAM under there, and other stuff like SSD controller, etc..

Wait, so Vimeo removes videos of paying customers, and does not even tell you why/let you talk to a human about it to understand and appeal the decision?

Even as someone who absolutely adores dogs and always is happy when one is around, this is a pretty silly argument. It's clearly possible to operate a doctor's office with zero dogs present, but I've yet to see one successfully operate without at least one. That said, for the past two years, every time I've been to a doctor's office, there _have_ been measures in place to keep the number of humans there as small as possible, which I think is entirely reasonable.
Really? I have considered a chromeOS machine from afar, but I wasn't aware that it had reached a stage where it could become a good dev machine.

What's the coding workflow like on chromeOS?
it sounds like the author confronting their own inferiority complex.. "techies" are somehow the smartest people in the room, but also they actually aren't and are full of hubris.

i dont get this weird journalist hate fest about "techies" as if average software engineers call the shots on what their employers do either. its such a well orchestrated distraction. the average engineers job is to execute, not to decide what to build. just like every other industry, a few people at the top call the shots on what to do, the rest of us are executing or making tiny decisions on how to do it. me and Mark Zuckerberg are both "techies"... no difference right?
Agreed. I would really dig this if it was a bit more realistic. I really miss amber monochrome and have had it at the back of my mind to build some css themes to mimick the old monochrome screens for years.
Not sure if this is a joke, but you can already "officially" install a Debian environment from within ChromeOS.

Air heat pumps yes, but ground heat pumps can work in very cold climates.
What? Of course they would. Send salespeople over to your office to negotiate terms, probably not. Standard contract with clear statement of fees, durations, renewals, etc? Pretty much any subscription service will have that. VPS on an annual plan, for example.
We're building a house in Wisconsin soon. We think that ground-source geothermal is required for efficient electrical HVAC without gas, but if we can save a ton of $$$ and go with air-source heat pump, that would be awesome.
Stealing, plundering... trading and sharing.

Is unfair to ignore the cross-pollination and technology transference between Europe and the rest of the planet.

Relationships based on stealing are ephemeral, not durable or stable enough to transfer knowledge. Trade relationships are.

There is a huge work of civil infrastructures developed by Europeans. India without a railway system would be much more difficult to keep united as a single country for example. A French opened a pass connecting the Mediterranean and Indian Oceans and later Europe and US work together to connect the Atlantic and Pacific, blessing the economies of India, China and Japan forever.
