Frankly speaking here. (O&G industry so not in IT specifically)

If I interview with you once and I find out that you didn't have sense enough to make sure that you asked all the relevant questions and made sure that I met and interacted with those people who would be working closely with me in that position then the only valid conclusion that I can draw is that you are too bureaucratic or disorganized and that I will have to waste a lot of time at your company or learn to deal with the bullshit. I don't suffer fools very well and from experience, bureaucracy breeds indecision and thrives in environments with no accountability.

In my career I have only interviewed twice with a company on one occasion and in that case I was notified up front that there would be two meetings necessary since one of the managers was out of the country on the date of the first meeting and others in the group would be traveling during the second so they needed to break things into time slots so that everyone could get an opportunity to ask questions, shoot the shit, or whatever. I ended up spending one full work day and part of another interacting with two small groups who could fit the interview into their schedules.

I didn't get that position because I had another offer come in before they could make an offer and I took the other offer.

Don't waste people's time. The hiring company is also being evaluated here and disorganization is not an attractive feature.
Perhaps it's because I don't frequent the literature, but I interpret that as "T Gondii. may [provided by our level of statistical certainty in MANCOVA] produce changes". Otherwise, what's the point of performing a statistical analysis? Moreover what's the value of any assertion if it can be guarded by an unbounded-uncertainty keyword "may".
AWS Organizations now provides central AWS account closure
When a company is considering investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in a person, it would be surprising if they wouldn't do at least 7 hours!
Right, throw out seniors and households below the poverty line and I bet that number shoots to like 85%. The avg/median person very likely had a PC in 97.
> You'll still have a dynamic Less() equivalent - unless the sorting function gets inlined, which sounds unlikely.

Sorting or ordering?

Using a custom comparator is covered later on, and shows that the ordering function (the custom comparator) is not inlined because of how Go 1.18 groups GC shapes.

However an article from a few days ago (https://planetscale.com/blog/generics-can-make-your-go-code-...) showed that it can be made to work, in some cases, by parametrising the function on the callback. This leads to the sorting function being monomorphised on the callback, and thus the callback (likely) getting inlined.
It isn't the users that are the problem here, it is the telcos with respect to the simswaps: if social engineering is used to get sims to be issued without proper verification, then fix that. If SMS isn't encrypted properly that is an issue, but pushing various commercial alternatives that have broken and/or partial support isn't a solution either. As for my telco seeing the message content, I'm not too worried about them having access to one time use codes that will live for the next minute at best. And the institutions that force SMS usage on their users are the real issue.

It is fairly easy to point to a problem but solving it is an entirely different level and this article doesn't really do anything that would allow your average user to say get VISA/MC to use other channels, ditto for various datarooms and other instances where 2FA and SMS have somehow become synonymous.

The only party that does any of this properly is my bank, which issued a secure hardware token that I need to operate separately from my computer in order to generate one time use codes. I'm sure that there are ways to abuse those (a gun to the head of a family member would do nicely) but they are a lot more secure than anything else that I see out there.

If you really want to make yourself mad, take the Washington Post’s quiz on conspiracy theories [1].

All of the options are carefully worded to minimize the actual conspiracies (ex: they say the FBI “kept tabs on” MLK which doesn’t begin to describe what they did) and disqualify others (ex: one “incorrect” option is “Republicans cheated their way to win the 2000, 2004, and 2016 elections” when it’s not inaccurate to say they cheated in 2000).

It’s a pretty blatant propaganda piece, intentional or not.

Depressing and gross these kinds of laws are even getting this far.
there are at least four common implementations of "hostname" on Linux: debian, coreutils, net-tools, busybox, and arguably toybox. there are also at least four implementations of su (util-linux, shadow, busybox, toybox) and five implementations of kill (coreutils, procps(-ng), util-linux, busybox, toybox).
In the dark ages, I did coding and systems work for a large money center bank. Hiring back then was at most three interviews - a team member, manager and perhaps the next manager up. There were no "tests," though pertinent questions were asked - often related to the hardware/development environment and familiarity with business and process.

I don't recall any of the people that I worked with directly, or knew from other groups, being incompetent.
How do we know this isn’t blind faith and the numbers are “made up”?

Other than fiat wealth generation, what gains are there to treating each other like this?
It is all OK.
I see a lot of responses in here that try to justify the practice using empirical data/logic. What we’re failing to consider is the trade off between “efficiency” and “equitability.”

Just because something is 100% efficient in allocating resources (time, money), doesn’t mean that it’s worth doing. What this thread shows is that somehow, we’ve become sympathetic to megacorps, in winner take all markets, who want to build a world where their time and money is seen as the most valuable.

Instead, we should account for the fact that these companies, with CEOs making $200mm+ per year, should have a civic duty to take on more risk giving people a basic right- access to a job.

Credit card companies aren’t allowed to underwrite based on certain factors heavily correlated with race, religion, or other things (I forget the rest) that were deemed unfair to be judged by. In an efficient world, we would have collectively decided that companies should be able to infer your ability to repay debts based on the zip code you live in, or the college you went to, or the demographics of your friends. It makes sense to not allow this from an equitable standpoint. Why can’t the same be said about hiring people?

Who has the luxury of going through 4 interview rounds? Who has the privilege of studying hours and hours of leetcode? Who has the privilege of staying up to date on the latest web frameworks? I think you get my point.

What won’t surprise me is that the data may suggest the youngest are most suited for many jobs, if one were to judge by interview readiness and performance. If that becomes to norm, would the future version of yourself deem the mechanisms of finding a job market acceptable?
Interior mutability is used all over the place. It's absolutely necessary. The thing is you are forced to be clear about the runtime safety mechanism you're using. In general, it gets abstracted away behind a safe API.
I support alternative open source OSs as much as I can, but monoculture or not, using ReactOS for business - especially connected to the internet - is asking for problems. Turns out that's not the intention anyways.

There is plenty of Linux-certified hardware as well as support plans.
"The "localhost" hostname points at 127.0.0.1, but it will also have a loopback interface (which is a dummy software-only interface that just connects back to your computer)."

AFAIK, 127.0.0.1 localhost as a HOSTS file entry is merely a convention. For example, the name "localhost" can point to any address in the 127.x.x.x address space or any address in general. Similarly, a loopback interface can be assigned any 127.x.x.x address. The convention is to assign 127.0.0.1.

One of the nice things about NetBSD (IMO) is that when compiling one's own system, a loopback is not necessarily automatically created. It may be left up to the user to create one and assign it with an address. This can teach the user what software depends on the presence of a loopback interface that is assigned "127.0.0.1".

While I think this is probably the right decision (I’m no constitutional scholar or lawyer though, to be fair), it does bring up the question of why boards and C-suites are still pretty homogeneous, when most research supports the idea that diverse boards and executive teams perform better in the market. And that’s not even considering the fact that I believe our society (including our companies) has a moral imperative to fix the pretty stark inequities many minority populations in the US have and are still facing.

Is it because groups of white men are more comfortable hiring other white men? Or is it because the pipeline for producing executive-level managers is only producing similar individuals because of those societal inequities? I’d guess a mixture of both.
I mean, have you tried quitting coffee? I was drinking a cup a day for years, and going to zero meant being in a depressed unproductive funk for 10 days.

I have an easier time not taking my amphetamine pill than I ever did skipping my morning coffee.
Or he's the only one who lived up to that trust, since the surveillance he exposed is unconstitutional. He owes his loyalty to the American people, and what is a better expression of their will: the constitution, or the intelligence agencies?
On one hand, I don’t want to ever get hired for a position and in a culture where I am not a match, so I myself believe that the more datapoints, the better.

On the other hand, I struggle with impostor syndrome. While fairly successful in my day-to-day, I will likely fail whiteboarding sorting algorithms etc. Imagining a series of five interviews stresses me out and I’m not even looking right now :)
That's a fair point.

I suppose latency is important if you use ngrok for something other than development. I use ngrok exclusively for development, so that's where my comment comes from.

This comment should have been top level, it explains everything.
> it constantly updates mame to the latest (you should with your Roms as well)

This is not necessarily a feature; actually I consider it an anti-feature, as one is forced to chase the romset versions (either download the full set, which nowadays is tens of GBs, or the diff, which I've never tried).

If one actually plays games, and they play correctly, there's no value in upgrading the emulator and ROMs to new versions.
Any experienced sitter would have prepped someone with the idea that there are no “bad” trips, just difficult ones.

They would have prepared someone to navigate that terrain and having come out the other side, the tripper would be able to see the importance of it.

This is part of the mindset piece — proper preparation, navigation and integration are needed.

If one is able to understand that, it can help!

Thank you for sharing your story.
One of the reasons that I'm a "solopreneurs" is that I have no real desire to manage people for a few years. Honestly, I hate being an employee.

I'm also embracing a wanton desire to be playful rather than an effective market strategy. For example, my latest pathology is that I'm building my own datastore for my service. I'm preparing to launch it as I audit my few users' usage. In a "bias towards getting to the market" sense, this is an awful approach.

However, I'm having fun and making strides on a few defining dimensions.

It could be said that I'm building a lifestyle business, but I don't believe so. Instead, I'm defining the foundation for a robust and long lived infrastructure game. If you believe the future is bigger than the present, then the markets will only get more exotic and bigger. There will be more room, and more customers that need to be serviced.

It isn't the telcos, it's the people asserting that SMS is the only way to authenticate someone (my bank does this), it's not only absurd but also horrifically inconvenient as it assumes the number happens to be tied to the SIM in your device, in my case the number is in another country, and ends up on a VM, not my mobile device (I don't give my real number to anyone and I rarely use voice), SMS was never secure since it's readable by at the very least 3 entities, but yet it's treated as such by all sorts of people who should know better but it ticks some checkbox for compliance.

If people actually got to make their own choice on that I'd strongly guess that Flash wouldn't have ever gone away. Browsers declared HTML5 was going to replace Flash long before it was actually capable of doing so (and arguably still isn't).

But it only took ~4 "deciders" to kill Flash regardless of what anyone else wanted, which was Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Mozilla (and eventually Adobe decided it didn't care about Flash anymore either). Nobody so centrally "owns" C++ such that there could be a concerted deprecation effort that anyone would actually care to listen to & respect. Even if the C++ committee itself decided to kill C++, and got G++, MSVC, and Clang on board, which is extremely unlikely, would anyone even care that much or just keep using the last release of the compilers with support until the end of time? Kinda like they do for FORTRAN. And COBOL. And etc...

> - a few examples of extremely senior, extremely successful engineering leaders who stayed at or near the top of the game technically, and those are but a few examples from a very long list

But all of these are the exception, not the norm. You said you've been in a FAANG style org, so you've been able to view the org-chart. For every Jeff Dean or John Carmack, there's three-dozen directors and VPs who manage large orgs whose names you've never heard of and who haven't checked in code in half a decade. They're still usually very good managers.

(A reasonable opinion I've seen, btw is that if you're managing a team of say 5 or more people, if you have time to make regular code contributions,you probably aren't focusing enough on your other managerial responsibilities and are letting your reports down)

> - an observation that in other fields, law for example, they call in the highly-knowledgable, highly-expensive, person capable of solving problems few in anyone else in the organization can and that this person carries titles like "partner" and makes the most money.

This is pseudo-true. Partners are called partners not because they're capable of solving problems no one else can, but because they carry an ownership stake, and I'm not a lawyer (and presumably neither are you) but the impression I get is that law is far more delegatory than software, where a partner may call in some favors to address a problem, but will also have 20 Jr. associates investigate 20 different possible approaches and write 20 different briefs to then choose between.

> When I'm wearing my hacker hat I have no interest in reporting to an EM who couldn't do my job in a pinch,

Maybe we have different definitions here, but I've never, or perhaps once, had a manager who I felt could do my job in a pinch, and I was a new grad and he was the worst manager I've had at the time (although he very quickly got better as he learned to be more hands off). A manager who could do my job in a pinch is too micromanaging. Maybe you mean something different in that they could, given a week or two to turn-up on the project take over, but that's not really what I'd consider "in a pinch".
Problem is you have to go through Paris du to the way the French HSR is built. And time-wise London is closer to Paris than most German cities.
It is essentially the same prank, I believe the milk one is the even more absurd followup.

They spread the rumor that the OK symbol is racist.

Some people go to racist rallies and make the gesture.

Is it now a racist gesture? A gesture can't really be racist I don't think, it is the intent behind it. In the case of OK, it doesn't provide much extra information, right? If somebody is making it at a racist rally I guess it is a bit redundant. If somebody makes it while scuba diving I guess they are really indicating "OK."

The OK gesture was an effective pick because, it has mostly been supplanted by thumbs up to indicate all's good anyway. So it doesn't have much counter-pressure. I don't think milk consumption is going anywhere.
This sounds very forward thinking and I like it. Would you be willing to share a bit more on the process? What does it entail? In the past I was hired on just 2 interviews, and all we did was talk as peers. It felt comfortable and honest. It's the reason I said yes to switching positions.
I’ve never really understood the diversity thing. Why should it be more desirable to hire me because I was born in this place or that?

Is the native part of me more deserving of a contract than the Latin part?

If I was with a guy the night before instead of a woman am I more beneficial to a company? Am I even more valuable on the odd night I’m with a trans person?

Am I more beneficial with my Paraguayan passport instead of a Canadian passport?

Diversity should just be called what it is, bigotry.
It may work well for hiring young people.

I can guarantee that you will never see me in one of your interviews. Would I be valuable to your company? Maybe, but we will never know because the process is too long.

Czech has a version of "jump" that's similar as well, so I wonder if Slavic languages also do. Czech is odd in that some roots are Slavic and others German so who knows where it came from!

Agreed. I think it’s far more likely that the lifestyle differences between more and less attractive individuals is causing increased exposure. Not to mention they performed a LOT of tests without correcting for multiple comparisons (as far as I could tell by skimming). Overall pretty disappointing.
I remember as a kid, playing Need for Speed for the first time, I tried to figure out how the computer could render the scene. My naive childhood mind pretty much settled on the method described in this video; I thought they must send cars around the race track to capture millions of images and then do some magic interpolation between the images to render the output.
I think this is more relevant in the US... in party-based systems it becomes much more interesting to see what the party trends are... it's kind of the same types of information but it's even harder to get at because it's spread out over a party. But it's also a little easier to see because parties have to coordinate internally and artifacts of that coordination are pretty easily available through public channels. But yeah, no hope of monetizing so a hobby it will stay.
If I would have my way, I would allow all offensive speech, however if a society wants to be policed, I'd rather it be done by a court of the state and not by private companies because there is a higher chance of things being fair if it's done by the state and it's easier to hold courts to account than private companies.
>we've learned that nothing good comes of politicians and corporations mingling

They do much more than mingle, and more than scratch each other's backs. And yes we have learned this, quite a long time ago. The problem is the relationship is very profitable, and thus is a self-rewarding behavior.
> but their free vm has no capacity left in all regions it is the Standard_B1s vm size.

As an aside on this topic, I'm finding that they don't have capacity for some paid VM types as well in some regions. If I'm looking for specific instance types that don't exist in my default region (e.g. GPU optimized compute) I have to go to other regions to find one where those are available.
Meh, after having seen how my unmedicated self turned out, depressed, anxious, isolated and chronically unsatisfied with their life, getting an ADHD diagnosis and stimulant medication means I can slightly stress my body in exchange for a meaningful life. Fuck yes.

And from what I can see in the research, therapeutic doses of amphetamines do not damage the body by any meaningful level, while untreated ADHD may shorten life expectancy by 10 to 20 years.

Isn't it time for copyright to be abolished? Or at least fixed so that these companies no longer have functionally eternal monopolies? It's insane that stuff created 40+ years ago is still covered. They've already made their fortunes several times over, it's time to let go.
