On top of all the other answers: being able to download and customize an existing model to your needs is way easier if the model is described by code.
No, we just prefer games not structured to suck :-)
This sounds like an interesting setup, but honestly my alarm bells are seriously going off in terms of cognitive load for every developer. I would love to see how much time is spent on ops at this company vs actual dev time. Also once they are hitting scale I am really interested how all of this holds up. You have 7 devs now, what happens with 20 devs on different teams.

Also since this is a beta product, I am doubting that you would hit too many problems with any deployment solution at this point. Why are you using Aurora + serverless + event bridge at all? Its magical because you are all using the same dependencies as prod, but why are you using these dependencies at all? All you need is a single postgres database (easily spun up on any developer machine) + crud app (easily able to use full stack typescript with nextjs or the like).

Word of caution about having this many moving parts, they will bite you in the ass. Now it seems all rainbows and magic but there is a reason people on this website preach simplicity -- because when shit hits the fan the simple solutions are easy to debug and fix without spending 1000s of dev hours. The complicated magic solutions are the ones that cause 24+hr downtimes and need to be re-architected. You are a customer service tool, not a devops company, the choices here don't make too much sense.
Highly recommend this course (it's free) if you're interested in machine/deep learning as a "regular" programmer. My knowledge of linear algebra and calculus is pretty elementary, but I was able to follow with it easily and the way it developed took me from building simple, straightforward CV models to writing a lot of Pytorch utilities from scratch.

If nothing else it will deepen your understanding of modern deep learning considerably, while giving you practical skills in the field
If you do plan to be hosting 1TB of data in EBS for each developer then yes, this approach is probably not right for you and you should adapt it! It's not a one-size fits all approach.

Stellar is the future of crypto currency because of their work on CBDCs. They've been around for nearly a decade and are firmly entrenched in the government financial policy space (SDF has been the only foundation publicly participating with White House and US Congress). They move money around the world today with many partnerships including MoneyGram. They recently hired a new executive leadership position for their CBDC product that came from the Fed. Their network is the only one in the CBDC space with a non-profit corporation operating it. Governments are working to create their own CBDCs right now and want turn key solutions that meet standards like ISO 20022 (which Stellar has). XLM is the coin which is used to power network operations in service of creating markets for CBDCs and other crypto assets. The Stellar network fee for transactions is 0.00001 XLM, which is far cheaper than other coins, especially at the price and volume XLM will be for the foreseeable future.
Many of us are amateur radio operators, which is basically walkie talkies. And furthermore, when we're all having a group discussing, it very much follows your last point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_net
I also sort of wonder what happens if you try and put > 4gb on the commandline. Surely there is a limit for max size of commandline arguments.
How to choose the best AG13 Battery?
The AG13 battery is intended for devices that require a steady low power supply. They are most commonly utilized in hearing aids and electronic wristwatches. Because the power source resembles a tablet, the AG13 battery is sometimes known as a tablet.
Some of that is a bit stale, I'm not using ZFS anymore because it eats too much memory, and the SQL database containing metadata is on an Optane 900P, but it's still largely the same machine.

But yeah, turns out, if you mind what you are doing when you write your software, modern consumer hardware can be pretty good.

I also think a lot of the architecture paradigms that are common today have a very high constant cost, which may be the admittance fee for high scalability, but I don't have anything to scale up to anyway so my problem is how to do the most with fixed hardware.

If I had written this like a cloud application, there is just no way it would run on the same machine. I'd need ten times more hardware. I'd also not be anywhere near finished.

Data locality is slept on in terms of performance.

They're reasonable for top end buyers, but not as reasonable for consumers, and everyday coders.
They dilute shareholder value, and if you consider that many tech companies are also doing stock buybacks, it seems plausible to consider the net effect of (Handing out "free stock" with one hand) + (Buying back stock with the other hand) to be spending money.
Can't see where you save with microkernel for embedded systems. You get the same as pre-configured monokernel plus the IPC overhead.
You can trivially resolve this with Organisations now, multi-account is incredibly common even within environments, it's a smart isolation boundary.

> A password manager can be an extra 10 seconds of work up front in some edge cases

There is always a trade-off in security vs. comfort. To me, having a completely secure authentication method that is simple and doesn't rely on any third party services, blorkchains etc. and is completely under my control, is important enough to be worth the occasional 10 seconds of work.

> another rough edge case is when the autogenerated password doesn’t match the password requirements

Which is why the generator I use allows me to set the character set & max length.

I would say that the facts speak for me, it is the Project Treble HAL documentation call refers to Linux drivers as "legacy".

https://source.android.com/devices/architecture/hal-types

> "HALs expressed in HAL interface definition language (HIDL) or Android interface definition language (AIDL). These HALs replace both conventional and legacy HALs used in earlier versions of Android. In a Binderized HAL, the Android framework and HALs communicate with each other using binder inter-process communication (IPC) calls. All devices launching with Android 8.0 or later must support binderized HALs only."

While Linux folks are still arguing if Rust makes sense to be adopted in the kernel and what features still need to be stabilized,

https://source.android.com/setup/build/rust/building-rust-mo...

And as I pointed out in another comment, here are the ART commits supporting Fuchsia,

https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/fuchsia

I should also note that while people pat themselves on the back, because Android uses the Linux kernel, from Google's point of view that is an implementation detail, not supported as public API for NDK code.

https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/stable_apis

From NDK point of view for app developers, the underlying OS is a generic OS, with ISO C, ISO C++ standard libraries plus a couple of additional stuff. Something that Termux guys have a hard time to swallow.
I believe the main problem is that Windows goes to reasonably extremely lengths (it's not perfect, but it's fairly good) to not break the driver interface, so if someone makes a driver for something, then semi-abandons it, the driver will continue to work for many years.

This is often clear in graphics cards, the main problem is old cards don't get support for newer versions of DirectX, but otherwise continue to work.

Linux explictly doesn't support this -- that means when some hardware manufacturer makes a closed source driver, it's very hard to update the kernel. Unfortunately it seems many bits of important phone hardware (like stuff Qualcomm makes) only have closed source drivers.
If an executable spawns child processes by design then inheritance means you need the union of all capabilities. Without inheritance each executable can apply a smaller set of privileges to itself.
Anyway, pledge[0] provides both options separately. You can restrict capabilities for just the current process and then for child processes.

> Which of the 5,000 fckn EC2 instances should I choose and why don’t they ever list the goddamn price?

It's a terrible sign when the first place people go to find out your products pricing is not you. This (formerly ec2instances.info) should be on a page on AWS somewhere https://instances.vantage.sh/
Yes, I should have said "without elevated privileges". That capability is still a pretty big hammer you want extracted into a helper that only does one thing.

You could play the first 4 levels for free, like classical shareware. And it was released on both iPhone and Android.
But that applies even to paid games. It's very hard to attract players to games if it's mainly multiplayer and there's no one to play against. Both players and developers do want an active playerbase, and free to play significantly lowers the barrier of entry for potential players.
What I really miss is a parametric vector drawing software (like earlier Vectorworks). I don't need 3d capabilities, as long as I don't 3d-print, and with a good 3 axis cross section drawing you are almost there anyways in most cases.

2d construction drawings are usually enough to reason about your mechanical problems and I wish there was an open source software that would augment the worklflow based on a pencil-and-paper metaphor.

That is coming from a civil engineering background though, so there are less complex shapes I guess.

You can get somewhere with Incscape, but there is just so much missing, from file format handling to workflow. Being able to type in line lengths while drawing would already be much of an improvement.

I thought about learning enough c++ to implement some of the features, but as far as I could tell, submissions for more technical features coming from other people were (probably rightfully) dismissed as not fitting for the original intent of Incscape.

Remember that the interview is a two-way street. Try to think about it from the point of view that you are also interviewing them to see if the job is suitable for you, and to see whether you want to work with them.

Too often people see it from the point of view of the interviewer having all the power - of thinking "will they want me for the job?"

But by asking "do I want to work for them?" - this can shift the way you perceive the balance of power in this situation, and that can help reduce the anxiety.
> Is "ﬁ" a single character? [...] "Ȣ"? "Ĳ"?

I don't know these, someone who does could properly tell you.

The implementation could fallback to "glyph" or "codepoint" (don't know what those are exactly) if it is unsure. Mostly right is better than nearly always wrong (= returning number of bytes) IMHO.

> How about "ß"?

That's one character.

> When programmers get answers to these questions wrong, the code that they write ends up being broken for someone out there.

So? Returning the number of bytes would also be wrong.

Renaming len to len_glyphs will just result in most programmers typing more and some accidentally using len_utf8_bytes (returns the number of bytes?) where len_glyphs would be less wrong.
My conclusion from reading this is that Americans can't spell.

Absolutely. The "tough love" program made everything worse for OP, but the problem started earlier. Prior to being sent away, OP self-described as being misanthropic for years,

If someone hates humanity for years, they deserve loving attention to help them see they are valued just as they are. In other words, Mr. Rogers was right, and we each need someone like that to believe in us.

My roommate who was athletic and feminine looking had it a lot worse. It was the first time I had seen any type of sex. It was violent and non consensual, and he was devastated, never the same. I felt faint there was a sense of shock. They involved me (with force) so that I couldn’t talk about it and they stopped me leaving the room. Then they said that’s part of the culture and he’s one of them now or something to that effect and stayed for an hour to see if he was going to talk. Then he and I had an argument and agreed that it just never happened, because being gay (I’m straight) is very much stigmatized and we both didn’t want our parents to find out. He went home I think a year or two later and overdosed and died. Then I really couldn’t talk about it, because my previous silence made me responsible. It depends how you look at it.
I mean you never hear the story of the perpetrators in shootings. Not that I’m condoning anything like that, that’s no solution. But I do understand that level of anger and but for access to a gun at that time I may well have filled those shoes. You can only push an unstable teenager so far, and I expect these things happen behind closed doors quite frequently. I just get so angry thinking about it.

i have been doing interviews on and off for about 5 months now whilst finishing university, and im gonna admit that my latest interview was aced because i drunk two cans of cider before / during it. i did it as an experiment and it ended up working great (i got the job). for reference i'm basically teetotal otherwise. i found it calmed me down and allowed me to speak more freely, without overthinking or getting short of breath.

brains are odd - i can manage a talk in front of a relatively large group of people fine, and yet i stumble in interviews with one or two people.
your mileage may - very much - vary though

Does someone remember the "1987 Rolex Air-King with Domino's Pizza Dial" (see https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/vintage-watches-oct-20-202... )?

I also keep my 1986 HP-15C safe and use a DM15L as my everyday calculator (a new meaning for EDC...). In fact I had a NIB HP-15C LE reissue (two, in fact, but one was stolen) and resold it when I got the DM15L (and a second one for redundancy), it's a much better calculator.

I have Free42 for my iPhone and iPad but I tend to use the [official HP HP-15C emulator app](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hp-15c-calculator/id503720774) instead, or PCalc.

How - how! - can you justify the statement that you have "no standing" when your income stream was arbitrarily cut off with no explanation?

> IANAL, but I don't see why Google isn't allowed to just say "nope, you're outta here" to anyone it damned well wants.

Because it's wildly unfair and morally abhorrent?
> Can you imagine if other art mediums where this ridiculous? Like you are watching Avengers End game in Netflix and they ask you if you wanna pay 5 dollars more to watch Captain America use his well known outfit instead of regular clothes?

We don't need to imagine it, this is happening all over the place. Board game kickstarters will have tiers with upgrade components that don't change the gameplay but just upgrade the cosmetics. Movie releases on optical disks have "collector's editions", where the DVD/blueray is bundled with all kinds of useless junk. Limited edition sneakers; foil MTG cards; trade-paperback books; concert tickets with a "band T-shirt" tier.

Yes, those are mostly physical goods that could in theory hold their value and eventually be resold. But in practice they aren't. They're things whose value is entirely bound in you liking that thing, and wanting a fancier version.
I think for a part you are correct, and for a part you are not correct, but if fuxia exist as a way to refer to the color in many places and/or instances, then Fuxia exists as a way to refer to the color and the fact that it does not exist is just theoretical https://www.google.com/search?q=fuxia&tbm=isch

Tell me. How has software engineering solved a long time ago how to select the single segment shown here? The one marked yellow is selected. https://i.imgur.com/rbGDsvF.png I just picked this with my mouse within OnShape and it took me one only second to robustly pick it.

If you look under the hood as see how OnShape generates robust picking selectors it is not something you really want to try coding by hand. You can do it but it is non trivial.

Featurescript is designed to be used in within a GUI environment where you pick something specific and then a new custom feature is added to the feature tree. It is a hybrid code / no-code solution. The end user still performs the typical pick and configure workflow.
Thanks, that should do it indeed, i'll try that in my scripts! Tbh i didn't search long, i was just a bit disappointed that bwrap didn't have this capability.

Pasta a little more than doubles in weight when cooked so potatoes are probably more expensive than pasta, which is usually more than rice which triples in weight when cooked.

Of course nutrition is a different matter, making potatoes or brown rice better choices than in a simple weight calculation.

There are buzzword buffer overflow errors in question 7 (Which of the following agile method are you using?) and 8 (Which of the following practices are you using?).

Item by item explanations might improve the quality of answers from developers who are actually doing X but aren't aware that it has a name, or who are doing something slightly different from canonical descriptions of practices.

Edit: thinking of it, you might also make a more explicit distinction between what you do, what someone else does, and what your manager says the team does (with the latter suitable for the bingo card format of questions 7 and 8).
