For people complaining about 4-6 interviews in tech companies, remember that in a lot of other industries (e.g. finance, consultancy, law) they take into account much more information about you. For example: the school you went to, your GPA, and the company you are currently working at. If these are not what they expected, they won't even interview you. So that's how they can save 1 or 2 interviews: by transferring the filter to your university and companies that hired you.

And I personally think that's bad. I'd rather have to do 2 hours more of interview when I'm changing jobs than have to worry for years during high school and university on a ton of metrics that I'm being evaluated on (the vast majority of which are useless for the job).

The biggest point of friction is finding the swap station. Some swap stations are at ground level and easily visible from the street (e.g. at gas stations or convenience stores). But many are in parking garages and it's never clear what level the swap station is on or where in the facility it's located.

I think the parking garage management gets to choose where to locate these stations, and typically they make it maximally convenient for people who are parking their scooters in the garage, without any consideration for people who are just stopping by.

The app does give you a marker on a map and a photo of the the station, but it's often not enough.
My own experience is different. I had several brands of CD media that lasted less than 10 years. Many of them you could see the damage (cracks through the shiny layer). Some were dark blue, some a light blue. Almost all of them were bad. I had them stored in a light proof zipper pouch and stored at room temperature in a closet. Maybe something special happened to them over the years but very few worked. This would have been some of the first CD-R and CD-RW media available. I opened them more than 20 years ago so the media would have been 30 to 40 years old today.

Anyway, I haven’t trusted optical since then.
So basically, what you're saying is there are millions of unoccupied units, which should be older, now lower-end units, but people still can't afford to buy them.

What do you expect him to say? He is in Russia. If he says something against the war in Ukraine, he is being arrested because it is illegal in Russia to be against the war, you are not allowed even to call it a war. If he is arrested, in the best case he will be deported and then goes to jail in the US. In the worst case, he is put in jail in Russia next to Navalniy. If he doesn't say anything, then apparently the only thing he wants to say is things against this war. There is nothing else for him to say. Therefore his silence means that he is strongly against the war.

How would you really know? People don't usually talk publicly about their PIP.

I went from long time IC to manager at a faang adjacent company. It was eye opening to see who was on a PIP and go through calibrations.

There were well liked, competent people who others on the team got along with but they just were not delivering at the expected level. Sometimes the problem was lack of motivation or bad role fit.
> Would you rather be hired and then fired quickly because we didn't realize there was a misalignment? I wouldn't.

The fact that your knee jerk reaction to a misalignment is firing someone rather than mentoring them and aligning them with the org speaks volumes about your management style… And managers wonder why they have such a hard time hiring or retaining people right now…

Psilocybin is the greatest thing that ever happened to me. If you are at the lowest of lows and don't know where to turn, I highly recommend it. You can grow them yourself at home. The experience of turning spores into fruits is rewarding in and of itself, let alone the powerful medicine you will have a virtually limitless supply of.
Maybe that's just me, but I never spent less than €20 for food delivery in the Netherlands.
Masers are cool. My dad worked in an optics lab that used Masers in college and they used Styrofoam for lenses because it's transparent in the microwave spectrum and induces refraction well.
It's because const pointers aren't "deeply" immutable. For example, if we have a const Car*, we can reach into it to grab a (non-const) Engine* through which we can modify things.

If there was a "imm" keyword in C++ which acted "deeply", that would get us pretty far towards our goal here. However, we'd then find ourselves in cases where we need to (for example) cast from an imm Engine* back to a (non-const) Engine*, often for values returned from functions. That's what this new "region borrow checker" concept would solve.
I don't know how likely some sort of electromagnetic event is. I just figure that if I'm going to diversify my backup strategies then something dissimilar/uncorrelated would probably be a better choice. My data is on magnetic hard drives, SSDs, and optical disks, each of which has different risk profiles.

As wtetzner said, it's unlikely that a single event could cause all of these to fail. An EMP attack might take out my magnetic hard drives and SSDs but leave the optical disks unaffected. I've also had a hard drive fail due to impact damage that likely would not affect a SSD. Flooding is not something I've thought about before, but since my backups are located in different geographical areas, I should be covered there. Etc.
"Where is the left calling for racism and war?"

Dems are 20% more likely to support US intervention and 'support' for Ukraine - sorry I wish I had the data point, but it's there.

Dems are hugely in favour of overtly, institutionally discriminatory practices for hiring, medical practices etc.. For example NY state's rationing policy for COVID antivirals favours 'people of colour' by quite a lot. Obviously it's ostensibly in 'good faith' an attempt to create better outcomes, but it probably doens't really and it's arguably racist.

I don't generally think the Left is more nationalist and war-like - that's just a peculiarity of the moment, but the Left is 100% more concerned about issue of race and policies that effectively discriminate. Again, for what they deem to be legitimate reasons, but that doesn't make them right.
Nothing in your citation states that they are doing parallel construction. If anything, it appears to claim the opposite:

> Russian state media have repeatedly sought to portray Bellingcat as working on behalf of the CIA or other Western intelligence agencies. Polymeropoulos was unequivocal on this point. “We have no ties to them,” he said.
I don't see how this argument isn't roughly writing off the root of all of these problems in exchange for one of the symptoms.
>Bellingcat is a CIA affiliated organization

This is no more than one the many plausible explanations of their success, unsupported by real evidence.

>their articles should be treated with extreme skepticism

Do you mean facts or narratives? On the former, Bellingcat seems to be doing a good job.
Ben, you have been one of most influential creators I have known. I have been following you since boltdb days. I used boltdb in project that helped scale backoffice system of many counties in tier 2 cities of US, creating huge impact.

My best friend committed suicide at the start of the 5th grade.

He was a very troubled boy. His parents were both killed on impact by a drunk driver when he was 3. He was sent to live with his paternal grandmother (one of our neighbors) but she was elderly, retired, and resented him and, unbeknownst to me (but not to my parents, I learned later on in life that they were trying to adopt him), she was abusing him.

There were hushed whispers amongst the parents in the neighborhood that she may have actually killed him but, as far as I know, it was never officially investigated. She died less than a year later, anyway.

I remember the last time that I saw him. We often spent our entire weekends together, he practically lived at our house from Fridays after school until Sunday evening. I remember the week that followed his death. Every detail. And then my life gets hazy for a couple of years.

But I came out of it around the 7th grade and was doing well academically and in sports.

Then it happened again in the 8th grade.

My friend and his girlfriend were sexually active and thought (incorrectly) that she was pregnant. He couldn't handle the response he got from his parents when he delivered the news and so he stayed home from school on a Monday and shot himself.

I stopped giving a shit about academics at that point but I kept up the sports, mostly in honor of my friend because we were on the same teams, both ran in the 4x400, etc. The sports forced me to keep my GPA above a 2.5 or whatever. That connection to my friend through athletics is probably the only reason I graduated.

In retrospect, I was deeply depressed. Around 14/15, I turned to alcohol and drugs to self medicate. It took me a long time to recover mentally.

My parents tried to get me into therapy but it didn't work for me.

I've never really felt any closure with these events and, while they don't haunt me, they do remain with me 3 decades later.
Not my downvote, but

Your ethernet signal is basically an A/C pattern of square waves going down the wire.

This is the analog manifestation of your digital data and it behaves like other analog signals going through wires.

A twisted pair of wires naturally rejects outside interference better than a random arrangement.

However truly parallel wires can be almost as effective under many conditions.

An outer well-grounded shield sheath surrounding one or more sensitive conductors can provide even more isolation from nearby signals or noise.

Unintended diodes caused by corrosion, unsoldered connections, or dissimilar metals can sometimes compromise analog representations of digital signals by causing assymetry during zero-crossing events.
It used to be that we could generate power without needing massive amounts of Putin-enriching natural gas. Germany has to use it because the peaking plants are a useful way of disguising the fact that all the reliable baseload generation is shut down.

This is unrelated to your question. But, as another degree-less father in tech, I was wondering why you wanted to show your children the importance of a degree. You yourself didn't have one through all of your success. I would argue you wouldn't have been nearly as successful either if you had chosen from the get-go to go the BSBA route. The average BSBA salary seems to hover around 51k, with the top earners making about as much as an entry level dev.

I don't want to be mean, and it's not all about money, I just don't see what value a degree adds for the most part. On the other hand, my son is growing up quickly, and sometimes I wonder if I should teach him that going to college can be worth it. So I really do want to hear it from your perspective.
I am proud I contributed to this repo with a PR that substitutes the FFT with a goertzel filter, it simplifies things a lot.
where are you people buying your cars?

(setting aside the pandemic)

you always want to do your research before ever going to a dealer, any dealer. after that you go and see the car + test drive it.

after that you talk $$$. if you drag this process for more than 30-40 min or try stupid stuff, as a customer I will get up and walk. Also for my last car the dealer had a guy that was assigned specifically for internet sales and I actually saw the car in person + worked out all the details through email.

again, as a customer (minus the pandemic shiftshow which will eventually die down) you have the power to decide what is and what is not acceptable.

I traveled to Mauritius and went to a “Whole Foods” style fancy grocery store there. The food was pretty affordable and I was surprised it was relatively cheap. And my friend who lives there said “yeah but you have to take in to account the purchasing power. The average income is very low.”

Also you give the price figure for delivery converted to dollars. But the ruble has crashed hasn’t it? So $8 could be a lot of rubles.
I looked at that panel, it's pretty big so I imagine you get a good amount of power from it. I tried to make a basic ESP01 powered by two 5V 100mA solar cells in parallel, using capacitors as batteries and it could not overcome the step down regulator's startup current pull (unless I built up charge in the caps and shorted it to get it started). I have since acquired super capacitors I think I will try it again.

ESP01 modded has deep sleep capability so it would wake up, send an http request out, and then go back to sleep.
> I do not understand how it is "colonization" that free people choose a more democratic, freedom- and market based route for their country - as opposed to an autocratic, Soviet-inspired style of rule.

Yeah but wait: Russia today is very capitalist and market based. Yet very autocratic. The two can well go together. And that is the case of Kazakhstan as well.

> Large parts of Eastern Europe had a choice after the collapse of the Soviet Union and chose the way of the west/Europe, with all its challenges and shortcomings, because almost any system is better than living under the thumb of autocratic leadership.

No, they had no choice, because there was no alternative, not even in Russia. And today we are dealing with this lack of alternative. I think you are prone to believe that Putin is the Soviet Union 2.0: that's far from reality. Putin is the product of this lack of alternatives of the 90s.

Top of this thread questions whether there are mandatory safety inspections. There are in most states for most vehicles, including NC, where the author lives and where this vehicle is very likely registered. Due to the age of the vehicle, it is exempt from inspections.

You went off on a tangent saying that you don't have to register a vehicle in the state you're in. You do in NC, as well as other states I'm familiar with.

You're now suggesting ways to evade the registration requirement, which may be illegal. This is in no way a rebuttal to the registration and safety inspection requirements that were being asked about at the top of this thread. Exploiting a loophole - including potentially breaking the law - to avoid a requirement doesn’t get rid of the requirement.
> Exactly. The Knight Capital incident springs to mind.

Sure, but was that the engineering team’s fault or the fault of bad management culture? I suspect it was management that failed to adequately support their engineers and ensure they were well staffed, compensated, and didn’t have to work extraordinary hours to meet absurd “deadlines” that resulted in that fiasco.
Dude, no Bay Area engineer will take this deal. $200/hr is $100/hr in real post tax income. This is competitive with bartending on a Friday night.

If you’re not at $500/hr you’re not even competitive. You can be at $300/hr if you’re guaranteeing the job for a year but if it’s a one off you have to start way higher than that.

But free time is more precious. I’d target $1k/hr to play. I think break even is probably slightly less but not much.

For $200/hr I’d rather spend the time on my own life.

There's a raspberry pi build that wraps RetroArch with EmulationStation and sane configs. It's pretty easy to use. I believe it's called RetroPi.
I would agree with you if the interview process included ANY feedback to interviewees when they were rejected. Prior to COVID, I got flown to Seattle mid-week for 2 nights and interviewed well (the recruiter told me to start looking for houses). But 20 days later I was basically ghosted by my recruiter and I had to escalate to their manager to get a response that I was rejected. They gave me no feedback at all.

The interview process asks a LOT of the interviewee and then does not provide anything that could help the person improve next time, so the entire process feels like a complete waste of time. In my case, I was also disrespected by the recruiter.

The next time they reached out, I failed the phone screen somehow by someone who sounded 20 years younger than me (which is frustrating when you have already passed these same steps before). I don't respond to Amazon recruiters anymore.

Wealth preservation is something that doesn’t get talked about - imo this is what the rich kids should be schooled in assuming they aren’t good enough to multiply their wealth like Elon. They keep it together for a future generation to take advantage of.
Yes, to echo the other response, I don't think my mindset is unusual. What you're suggesting is too much for most candidates.

Also, it's a candidate's market right now, at least for experienced devs like myself. I'm getting a good amount of interest in my applications and nowhere I've applied has asked for anything close to 30 hours of my time (5-7 hours total is typical).
Jokes on you, nothing is concluded.

Its the classic do an easy little study, and suggest that the potential for results might point to further studies. Now you have something to tell your research coordinator next time they get in your hair.

The real evidence is that it’s staffed and run by “retired” spooks.
I always wonder how centralised permissions works with listing endpoints.

For accessing one resource that's fine, a cached call to any k/v store would work.
But when you want to list every items for a resource in a table that contains millions of rows it starts to be more difficult.

Without a JOIN you either need to do a costly WHERE IN or filter after the fetch that can results in scanning everything for nothing.

Is there any blog post on that?

This might sound kinda weird, but I really like reading about coding languages and with c++ there is so much to discover that I really like that. It's like buying an expensive car with a lot of options and even after years you discover new buttons. If you like reading about low level code and implementations of recent new techniques in computer science, then you'll love c++, there is always so much going on. I've learned almost all coding languages and they've become simple and boring, articles about them feel like reading a children's book. It's definitely not easy to learn all features, but it also doesn't become boring so fast.

If you don't have a strong electronics background, the XGameStation [1] with it's accompanying textbook The Black Art of Game Console Design [2] involves soldering up a primitive game console with a bunch of example game source code to go with it. The book starts with basic electronics theory and gets into some pretty bare-metal discussions regarding stuff like NTSC and VGA video output programming.
