Interviews exist in this weird space disconnected from the reality of the work and being judged by those closest to the work. Not many real on-the-job situations would require someone, for example, to be able to recall the protocol number for a given protocol without looking it up, yet that's one of the questions that a particular very famous tech company has their recruiters ask, and you get auto-rejected for not knowing. It's unfortunate when a place becomes so large and so desirable that they'd rather force people to try multiple times to get through an arbitrary obstacle course and succeed on some combination of chance and skill vs attempting to more honestly assess if a given candidate could actually succeed in the role they're hiring for.
Well, that certainly is a massive dollop of contempt.

Yes, you don't need to be part of the 50%, but that doesn't get you away from that effect of the 50% either. There are causes in both major parties that someone is likely to find themselves on the receiving end of some law or regulation that they don't like. So you could still end up opposing that 50% if you're lumping them all in with the politician on that side.

"If you vote for a candidate knowing that they will use the power you give them in ways which are harmful to others, you're contributing to the problem."

Can you name any candidate that wouldn't harm any group? It seems they all have ideas about what laws would make things better, and those laws tend to involve control of people's actions or inactions.
I don't know how you would put some text in an SVG, but if you are OK with linking to an HTML page instead of directly to an SVG maybe just make an HTML page that has a line of text saying that one might need to zoom out or scroll to see the large image below, a line break or paragraph break, and then an image tag referring to the SVG?

The pernicious thing about "mature and well-maintained" pieces of software is that their maintenance becomes bursty: they don't need anything for years, until something needs changing/fixing this instant.

Log4j is the canonical example of this: it's such a boring piece of substrate that nobody noticed that it was effectively maintained by one person and had grown all kinds of configurable knobs and dials over the years.

Ultimately, I'm not saying that Meta is in the wrong here. But "here's a cash infusion with no long-term funding or staff commitment" is the kind of general mispattern that we're seeing w/r/t corporate open source.
> If you put an aircraft down on an unprepared beach/field, and walk away, that was a good landing irrespective of any damage done.

For his skill level, walking away is a great result. However, there are Alaskan bush pilots who land some pretty remarkable places. Some of them are not official runways and many of the ones that are official (Alaska has a LOT) won't have ATC support. OFC, Alaskan bush pilots aren't representative of pilots overall, but they still show we should be careful about overgeneralizing.

When my father and his friend tipped their plane forward and bent their prop landing on a gravel bar moose hunting, it wasn't a "good" landing, but neither was it "ditching" or a "forced landing" (they were able to unload the plane and trim the prop enough to fly the plane out so it wasn't that bad of a landing either). From past discussion on here, it is a little complicated if it was legally considered a "crash".
Smash down doors, get embarrassed a few times, pass legislation to ban "roleplaying as a minor in text conversations." Then there's no reason to be embarrassed again!

Sure, but if there are n interviewers, I get to waste n minutes of the company's time for each minute of my own wasted. For some panel interviews I've been in, this can be a significant multiplier that makes it worth it even if spite didn't already.
leetcode is a good idea - but coding problems are more like to get foot in the door (pass phone screen).
Senior and above candidates are "leveled" and judged using design and behavioral questions - so the way you answer them would impact level and target compensation significantly.
So it make sense to spend time preparing for Systems' Design questions Behavioral questions.

From another point of view - design and behavioral questions original goal is to confirm that candidate have related experience from day to day work, so if you have enough practice on your current job - it is not so much time to prepare for design and behavioral part of interviews.
Always the same argument to open doors for mass surveillance.

How can a national rule not infringe upon state autonomy?
Those are practical courses, meant to prep for linear algebra and differential equations — and various STEM tracks. As I recall, there were some proofs (eg, limits showing derivative rules; limits showing sums for integral rules).

We covered all the proofs in real analysis 1 (derivatives; sequences) and 2 (integrals; measure).
That’s a good point. These days you likely don’t have to worry about device codec support and space limitations like I used to.

It is cold. And I think it's harmful to infer that the people that fall for these are stupid. It does nothing to help the situation.

If the prevailing thought is that you're stupid for falling for a scam, then the victim is less likely to share and inform, and then education does not spread. All it does is make them feel awful, which is not helpful and just even more hurtful.

I think we have to come at it from the angle of the scammers are tactical and that it's okay if you are a victim. It sucks, of course, but no blame necessary on the victim.

I know someone who got a similar message from her priest asking for gift cards. The scammer got a hold of the church directory and used that to send out messages. The person thought she was doing a favor for her priest and wanted to help; it is not her fault that the red flags weren't as strong as they should've been. Not everyone operates on suspicion mode.

I know another who was almost a victim of the the sobbing phone call: "Granpda, I'm in jail! Please send me bail. Also don't tell anyone!"

These types of scams target emotions and kindness. That's how these people operate in the real world. It's not that these people are stupid, it's more that they are unaware and not sensitive to the red flags.
After Nude Jesse Williams Video, Theater Turns Camera on Audience
In order for a cryptocurrency to be the solution to that problem - an authoritarian government routinely destabilizing a currency, or freezing financial accounts - that cryptocurrency would have to be ubiquitously in use by everyone involved in any financial interaction. Grocery stores, clothing outlet malls, lawyers, healthcare services, rent/mortgage services, etc. would all have to be on-board with using that cryptocurrency and have the infrastructure to facilitate it. If they didn't, you might as well have a frozen bank account, or a hyper inflated currency.

If you're in a state that can freeze bank accounts and completely retool the national currency on a whim, what prevents them from strong-arming every one of those above-mentioned institutions into not accepting that cryptocurrency? If you can freeze everyone's bank account, you can certainly enforce jail time for a store owner who is found to be doing transactions in whatever cryptocurrency.

Basically, for cryptocurrency to solve the problem you describe, it would have to become the same structure that caused/causes the problem to begin with. You'd be back to square one.

Having to carry a rapists child to term would likely cause some level of psychological trauma. Psychological trauma is a valid medical reason for attaining a medical marijuana use case in many states.

>The gallery somehow defeats Firefox's "disable disabling pinch to zoom" setting

Happens with Chrome and Safari on iOS as well, but only when you're in the 'view images' mode after clicking on an image.

For me I honestly can't think of anything more hilariously disproportionate than my physiological response to disabled pinch-zoom. It's a whole body experience, starting with this weird cramping/tension in the back of my left hand, which is holding the phone, then a wave of cortisol/adrenaline cocktail washes over me...followed quickly by a stream of expletives and an attempt to crush the phone with my grip or some other destructive outlet.

It's wholly irrational and feels entirely limbic in nature, probably a sign of how deep the pinch-zoom gesture is engrained in the psyche.
Yes!

There are individuals who create memory palaces and are able to memorise hundreds and hundreds or random letters or numbers. This is just practice, anyone could do it.

Beyond that it becomes easier to remember things as you know more about a topic. This is because of associativity that happens, and the synpapses will allow for associativity and priming. This will create networks that you can pull from!

I'm actually a bit surprised about `/bin` there. Maybe it's archaic but I've always considered the point of `/bin` to be a minimal set of tools that could allow an otherwise-hosed system to be booted/debugged. So it (and `/lib` and a few other directories) might be on a small, read-only partition while `/usr` and friends are on a much larger read-write partition.

Of course in the last twenty-five years I don't think I've ever really used a system set up like that. But it does seem nice to at least be able to do so.
Needs (2006) in the title.

Personally, I was very disappointed in Spore. All the cool modifications you could make to your creatures had practically no impact on them as intelligent tool-users. Sure, you got different dances around the campfire, and interesting architectural variations, but those were just a surface gloss on what are interchangeable sophonts.

Nothing in the way of different lifecycles, reproductive strategies, division of labor, longevity, rigidity or fluidity of social structures, collaboration between individuals (no deindividualized eusocial hive-minds), scale and interdependence of political units (perhaps hypercarnivorous predators all live in small towns with extensive hunting ranges and commute to large centralized work sites with factory farms in non-overlapping shifts), population densities, technological predispositions (eg. for an aquatic species, fire ought to be a fairly late "high tech" development), efficiency of scarce resource allocation, phobias or philias (something like a turtle that fears being flipped over might not do well in microgravity), etc.

In short, just as the game seems like it is going to get really interesting, all your choices made to that point become moot: "You're a unique technological species, yay! Just like all the others." It was a huge letdown.

Outcome of Piano Student Leads
>Finally, the proposed Regulation contains safeguards to ensure that technologies used for the purposes of detection, reporting and removal of online child sexual abuse to comply with a detection order are the least privacy-intrusive and are in accordance with the state of the art in the industry; they perform any necessary review on an anonymous basis and only take steps to identify any user in case potential online child sexual abuse is detected. It guarantees the fundamental right to an effective remedy in all phases of the relevant activities, from detection to removal, and it limits the preservation of removed material and related data to what is strictly necessary for certain specified purposes. Thereby, the proposed Regulation limits the interference with the right to personal data protection of users and their right to confidentiality of communications, to what is strictly necessary for the purpose of ensuring the achievement of its objectives, that is, laying down harmonised rules for effectively preventing and combating online child sexual abuse in the internal market. (from the proposal)

It doesn't seem to me the document goes very much into detail on the effects this will cause for privacy rights, both with its application and indirectly, and how it should be implemented, despite briefly bringing up encryption concerns from the opposition. I can't see this anonymized data collection work as claimed due to the sensitive nature of the subject at hand (private conversations), and I wonder about the enforcement rights it'd allow (imposition of "remedies", fines, periodic penalty payments, and "power to adopt interim measures to avoid the risk of serious harm") and the importance of rapid content deletion for small-to-medium online platforms and personal sites as it has been hinted in the past. I really do not trust companies to have a privacy minded approach nor I consider my government capable of doing so as it does not benefit it in practice. (the document does mention strong support from "law enforcement authorities")
No. It is reasonable and expected that some users experience page content linearly so designers and developers have to create experiences that takes that into account. That includes not skipping important content. If it's important, don't skip it. If it's not important, maybe it's okay to skip it but there should be means for users to explore and discover what's on the page (like give the preceding block of text a heading that indicates what that section of content is about).

That's very easy to explain within a framework of there being lots of available workers and few available positions.

Employers post hiring ads, get responses, and conclude that posting ads works and they should keep doing it.

Job seekers post hire-me ads, get no responses, and conclude that posting ads doesn't work and there's no reason to do it.

Mutliple writer on the same SQLLite?
> "It says that lazily-looking code that does not provide a consistent interface is sometimes actually better than neatly layered, consistent one."

I find this an odd take on that paper. To me it has always been about how simplicity is more important than correctness. And while the authors take doesn't conflict with WiB, I do think they miss the point.

> "Simplicity of implementation is very, very important, and you can sometimes sacrifice consistency and completeness for it."

They almost get it in the conclusion. They are starting to see the important of simplicity, but still are fixed on correctness. Simplicity is not something you sacrifice correctness and completeness for "sometimes", it always wins if there is a contest. It is always more important (at least in line with WiB).
North Face is a classic example of neoliberalism run amok. They used to manufacture their products in a Berkeley factory, but that was shut down in 1993 as neoliberal trade deals opened up access to low-wage factories around the world. The current list of manufacturing sites is fairly broad, but Vietnam and Bangladesh appear to be among the main ones. Notably, when you hear about the crisis of homelessness around the SF Bay Area, keep in mind that in the 1980s (when there were not nearly as many homeless, like 90% less by population ratio), there were a lot more garment and electronics manufacturing jobs in the region.

https://themenhero.com/where-is-the-north-face-made/

Since sales are probably not that high in Vietnam/Bangaladesh etc., this requires a robust global shipping system to get product from factory to consumer (probably mostly in North America, Europe, Japan, but sales location isn't reported much). It's a safe bet that cost-of-shipping increases are more than made up for by cost-of-manufacturing decreases due to outsourcing.

As far as the raw materials going into nylon/polyester, yes those are petrochemicals but could be replaced by aerochemicals, i.e. direct capture of CO2 and conversion to butadiene, ethylene, etc. for feeding into synthetic fabric production. Such tech is currently expensive, but if all the oil & gas & coal on the planet suddenly vanished, we could still make nylon.

On the whole oil & gas issue, this article/podcast lays it out nicely. Apparently it's all about having consistent brand image management:

The way I, and likely many other voters, have viewed the past couple elections is a little different.

It's basically a choice between a shit sandwich and a shit sandwich without the bread. Which one is which depends on your perspective. They both suck but the bread makes one slightly more palatable.

With that in mind, the platform for democrats was to vote out Trump. Similar to four years earlier the republican platform was to vote for anyone but Hillary.
