As a former hiring manager, I am a little puzzled what the deal is for employers.

New grad positions are usually the easiest to fill, by far - much easier than any software engineering position where you’re hiring for some former experience. Also, new grads are almost always put on a team with more experienced engineers - one new grad at a time. This is so they get mentorship, onboarding and taking team dynamics into account.

So I see little to no point in bringing a cohesive group of new grads into a company, who want to negotiate a higher compensation to come in, as a group. Instead: just hire individual new grads, have them start together, they are broken up into teams but give them space to socialise with each other. It’s how new grad programs work at most tech companies.

I get that this setup sounds amazing for new grads. Come with a team you already know! Earn more money!

But I just don’t see the sell working for most companies.

Paying a premium to hire a team of engineers with experience absolutely makes sense, assuming that team keeps working as the same unit. This is why acqui-hires often negotiate a higher price than hiring each member would be. Note that during acqui-hires, companies interview each team member and usually refuse to take on people who they decide don’t meet their hiring bar.

A team of new grads, who likely wouldn’t work on the same team after hiring? Trusting interviewing with a third party company which probably has a different standard than my company? Paying more for this group than if I individually hired new grads? I cannot see any appeal, putting my hiring manager hat on.

What am I missing?
Started using LibreOffice spreadsheets to outline and make notes. Simple formatting is made easier with a grid. Writing full paragraphs is possible but discouraged. It's easy enough to make a list, reorganize it and export or feed it into code. It's even possible to add multimedia to the document.

I do not rely on writing todos to accomplish todos, for the accomplishment, I focus on "set and setting", using self-talk, making a comfortable workspace etc.

For a lot of things this seems to be a sweet spot.

On occasion I will use a mind mapping tool. This is really another way of brainstorming a topic, and so it doesn't "put things in their place" so much as it does introduce new relationships and address coherency of thought process. The hierarchy of mind mapping is often too much structure and something more like a word or phrase cloud is called for - which grids are good at emulating.
I imagine there's already some reasonably cost effective ways to do that. For example, existing satellites or piloted single engine aircraft like Google uses for their mapping.

Zipline's aircraft tend to fly the same trajectories over and over again, whatever's lowest energy, fastest, or avoids flying over populated areas unnecessarily. The vehicle isn't really designed to fly repeated grid patterns. We're also hesitant to intentionally collect aerial photography. It isn't necessary for our core business of efficiently delivering medical supplies, and could negatively impact the perceived utility of our system.

I had one as an employee benefit.

They did a thing that was like a nurse line where you could just chat with an attorney about specific or general items. My plan did stuff like contract/lease review, real estate, traffic tickets, and other stuff.

Several services were included and a bunch of others were an additional, scheduled cost. I believe it cost ~$100/year, with additional (very reasonable) riders for adoption, elder care, etc.
That seems like a very uncharitable interpretation. They weren't asking whether others agree with a statement of fact but whether a sentiment or feeling is common. Maybe it would have led to a more productive discussion if the question had been phrased more generally ("do people think there will be a lot of departures") without putting a personal spin on it, but the ugly turn things took afterward is more on the respondents than on the person asking. We're supposed to be curious, remember?

That was wonderfully written. Such a relief that right below the heading it was made clear that no one was harmed. The witty, yet restrained tone, combined with just the right amount of technical details is so refreshing to read. I wish there was more good writing in general.

> proper local backups

What do you use for your backups?

I've used Titanium Backup in the past, but it has some issues in Android 11 and seems to no longer be maintained.

Trying OAndBackupX (recently rebranded as NeoBackup) but the results are not great. Hoping the next major version cleans it up.
I've never looked at title reports, but it's fairly common for people to buy a unit, live in it for X years, move out, buy another place and then rent out their old place. I also don't remember about making specific declarations that certain units are my 'primary residence for the year' on my tax return ever. Did the title report say he bought it as a primary residence? Did their original mortgage continue as a 'primary residence mortgage' on the unit. That would make sense then and he wouldn't be doing anything bad AFAIK.

Also as a landlord you don't need a rental unit to be a primary residence anyway, because you can actually deduct way more than just your mortgage interest, and the property taxes I think are deductible as a biz expense that is independent of the $10k personal SALT limit too, so there is no incentive to do stuff like that unless the income was unreported also.
Argentine Tech Industry Earns Billions of Dollars Off the Books
Very interesting. I'm curious how you solved the following interaction, which touches on both Rust's borrow checker and a classic footgun for GC'd languages:

You have a GCPtr to some cell on the heap, and you want to dereference the pointer to modify the cell. But the GC also needs to dereference the cell, e.g. to update object references after moving. So while a GCPtr is dereferenced, you must never trigger a collection, which means no allocation. If you do, you violate Rust's "only one &mut" rule, and also risk a dangling pointer. How do you enforce this?

One way you could enforce this is to require a shared reference to the GC to dereference any GCPtr. Instead of `cell.count += 1` you would write `cell.deref(gc).count += 1`. This works but is verbose.

Another way you could enforce it is dynamically, by setting a value in a cell whenever it is dereferenced; but this incurs a runtime cost.

How does Sphinx solve this?
Blu-ray holds more than that.
The time to render an image is O(k log n), but the space required for any given pixel is O(log n). A BVH search is a recursive operation. Each pixel needs its own stack.

Rasterizing triangles requires O(1) space. So you can cram 4096 or whatever very, very dumb "cores" into a GPU that can rasterize, but if you want to spend the same amount of silicon to raytrace? Not so much.
No, we’re only missing this browser stuff you’re talking about. But again if you’re going to legislate this and then trust companies to follow, it’s just easier to have them implement.
None of the non-rtk ones approach this accuracy solely because without knowing the varying local atmosphere error you cannot, even in theory, get that accuracy from GPS.

All the GPS and RTK systems I've been working on use all possible signals from all the GNS systems (except I disable Russian GLONASS at the moment due to war fueled sketchiness). To get them to work well you need good antennas that capture them all, and good wiring to keep phases clean. Noise kills precision here.

Find a textbook that does all the math and physics behind all the GNS systems, and you'll find a chapter on errors introduced by atmosphere.

RTK gets around this by having a known nearby (and hence nearly identical atmosphere path) point also get all the GNS signals, do the same computation, and send correction data in realtime to your RTK receiver.

There's also some neat stuff about signal phase that adds a little more precision over standard GPS.

I've now built multiple complete RTK and multi-RTK systems, and have been up and down all the stacks from many angles, working on pushing things to the limit, for industrial uses.

RTK really goes beyond anything I've seen in GPS, at any price. There's simply no way to realize all your signals are delayed or bent by local ionized or magnetic storms causing signal delay without some other truth data.
> had no real cost.

Can you expand on that? Typical coding schemes use redundancy to be able to detect failures. I'm no info theory expert but I presume there's always a cost. And if you can design a smart enough algorithm you can balance the cost with the actual likelihood of failure to find some kind of equilibrium. Of course the algorithm development has its own cost (NRE, time-to-market).

It's not clear whether you're talking about modern computers or dawn-of-PCs when you say "should have." It might be smaller cost now but back in the day it would have been mega expensive.
Having a set of words is important when trying to complete as fast as possible. This pretty much sets up the game into 2 phases, one where you just brute force typing from memory and another where you solve the puzzle at once. If it's too hard sometimes it's better to just reset and start a new puzzle.

Apart from the logistics, you can prepare yourself mentally for the worst.

Get to know limits of your body while you're in the clear. You heard you can go few days without food, but I highly recommend trying it out.

Practice critical thinking skills. Always be on top of your game. Your mind should be at capacity all the time. Be vigilant on but the laziest of days. Make up something if need be.

Be dependable to yourself. Avoid alcohol, drugs. Teach yourself to get back up reliably and fast. True fear will knock anyone off balance, but some regain composure faster.

Listen. A lot. However you might feel about it, if something happens, unless you're getting teleported away somehow, the world is still going to be there. People you care about, and those you do not. There's no social comfort zone, better rip the bandaid early. I'm yet to meet a person that's unimportant or inconsequential.

Does this sound awfully like work? Good. Plan your downtime and enjoy it as if it was to be your last, as you should anyway. You'll never regret truly living.
I know many 2nd-gen Hispanic-Americans and culture/value wise we're very similar. As a block they're just more traditionally Catholic, but religiosity is diminishing everywhere. Language-wise, many grow up not speaking Spanish, being a generation to feel 1 foot in both cultures but that will be gone with their children. Food-wise is the least of any issue, US loves cultural food and Mexican food is crazy popular, it already blends into Tex-Mex and Cal-Mex foods that US chefs already assimilate into new variations.

Out of curiosity, how long do integration tests take to run for you? I will run e.g. "pytest", which might take a few minutes with a lot of integration tests, but I can also just run "pytest -k test_something" to run a particular integration test that will hit the function I care about, and it will take maybe 20 seconds. Unit tests are faster than that, yeah, but honestly that's a tight enough feedback loop for me to iterate quickly.

If it's just for posterity, then consider printing it out as a poster. Because it's "art" its less likely to be lost, too. For extra credit, scan it back in and run it, at least once. I'd wager you'd learn a lot doing that.
Consider the likelihood of the bitflip occuring in the critical area you targeted versus any old place in the file. The file is dominated by encoded raster info.

Most errors like the bitflips we discuss are not correlated with file locations. They're typically medium errors and the design of typical filesystems will result in something closer to uniform distribution of errors. Bus errors could perhaps be correlated with the start of activity but I think that seems uncommon.
One reason that most sites might choose to make their money selling ads over selling subscriptions is that the former is much less of a hassle when it comes to taxes.

If your site makes its money selling ads that is most likely only of interest only to the tax authorities where your company is located. It doesn't matter where your site users are located. You advertising income will just be another entry on normal business income taxes.

If your site makes its money selling subscriptions, that money is business income on your normal business income taxes but also likely will be subject to sales taxes in the places where your subscribers are located.

If you have customers in the EU, you'll need to collect and file quarterly VAT there (the EU has its act together so you only have to register in one country, and file a quarterly report breaking down sales by country, and that one you registered in will deal with distributing the money to the rest).

If you have customers in the UK you will have register separately with them, because the morons implementing Brexit failed to arrange to stay in the unified online VAT system of the EU. (Not that you can currently actually register in the UK. We applied for our VAT registration number something like two years ago and they keep saying that HMRC is very busy and will eventually get to it. In the meantime we are suppose to collect and hold UK VAT, but not supposed to call it VAT).

If you have customers in the US you might have to deal with sales tax in 45 states. Unlike the EU VAT the rates are not uniform within a given state. You have to deal with different rates in each county, possibly each city, and possibly even in different areas within a city--and tax boundaries do not always line up with zip code boundaries so to do it right you have to collect exact address information for your subscribers.
Flash is a terrible idea. NAND cells are basically little capacitors, and they leak electrons over time. Current TLC drives actually rewrite themselves every month or so to keep read error rates low. If you leave them unplugged, they can't do that.

If you must use flash, keep it cool. We have some deer cameras in direct sunlight. After six months or so, the SD cards become unmountable due to media read errors.
What about the hydroflouric acid if it happens indoors? I wouldn't want to inhale that stuff! I actually thought about what to do when it happens here.

Indeed, that is one of the primary concerns on the employer side we've heard.

It is easier to hire new grads for sure. Our solution to that is to offer highly desirable engineers. Our founding group is a set of high school friends, currently all juniors at Caltech, CMU, and MIT. In our first batch, we have numerous groups with high Putnam scores, high ranking competitive programmers, and 2+ FAANG internships. There will likely be a sense of FOMO for companies in order to recruit these groups, as they'd be losing out on multiple highly regarded talents. Eventually, we would scale down the quality factor as this method of hiring becomes less peculiar. We've already had a number of companies commit, so I suppose it's working.

Plus, these students don't necessarily need to work together in the same department. Students have expressed a tremendous want towards just being in a new city with the same subset of friends.

There's also some unfounded benefits we will be analyzing and testing in our first few batches. We theorize that this could greatly influence the retention and burnout rates at companies, which is a big issue in tech.

As for trusting a third-party with interviews. We agree that this is one of the biggest leaps companies will have to make, but we think multiple rounds of leet-code style interviews aren't correlated with success anyway. And, applicants have to do basically the same problem sets over at each interview and company. We also let companies add supplemental questions to roles, like the college admissions process, so we hope that's enough to bridge the gap for now. I agree that is might be even more experimental, but I think it's necessary in the long run, for other reasons too.
Or maybe it's just irrational. Not saying the feelings expressed here don't point to a very real issue, but there's no chance in any meaningful engagement with the vast majority of the comments in this thread. You have a bunch of scared men making emotional arguments that somehow their entire self worth and sense of direction relies on society demanding something of them. The something in most cases being rooted in nostalgia, either for times when men rode horses, or when it was more acceptable to slap a woman around - but don't worry, that didn't happen much, because it was also a time of tighter extended family and thus other men around to protect and avenge her. Boyish fantasies of cowboys, knights, and getting to beat up your brother-in-law if he hit your sister and left a mark. It doesn't get less insane as you continue reading.

By all means let's talk about what men are going through and feeling, let's treat it seriously, but let's not scramble in terror backwards.

tnsr (vpp) on a 4C c3558 will do 5.01Mpps at 438 CPU cycles/packet. Simple IMIX can forwarded at line rate in one direction on a 10Gbit link on one core.

Linux on the same platform will only forward 642.71 Kpps.

Using 3 of the four cores for VPP yields 15.1Mpps forwarded IPv4 while consuming 19W.

> They removed the ability to install the dedicated chat app and moved it all into the Gmail app.

The first part of it is not true (but the second part is true, in that you can access chats from Gmail as well).

I just checked, and Google Chat exists as a separate app on iOS, Android, and web (chat.google.com). Even though the web version redirects to a gmail url (mail.google.com/chat), it is still a separate web version, not embedded into gmail. The only thing it shares with gmail is its subdomain, the page itself has zero mention of gmail or any gmail-related functionality.

WebDAV is also an object storage protocol but it can do random access. Well, almost.

Partial reads are supported everywhere out of box just by using the Content-Range HTTP header.

Partial writes aren't standard, but some implementations e.g. SabreDAV can do those using PATCH with X-Update-Range header (and e.g. rclone supports this).

WebDAV has its warts and limitations but it's a very underappreciated protocol.
I think this is largely correct, but it seems that few realize those extraordinarily lucky boomers have children who they will bequeath their wealth to - mostly Millenials. I can't wait to go from being the lazy slacker generation to the wealth-hording one over the next decade or two. (To be clear I think the whole generational divide is as silly and artificial as most any other.)
