I like this. It's civilized. As I said, the best interaction today could be no interaction.

One way or another, convenience means you're probably trusting someone with information and linking it to an account or address or payment mechanism. For city governments, maybe this is okay. For commercial destinations and sketchy parking operators ... maybe not.
Not possible for Panama, or not possible in general? Because it's definitely possible in general. You can even get passports from organizations such as the U.N.

You make a claim that others are stupid, I can't dismiss it, nor can I accept it. As such I accept your evaluation as honest held, but I can't do anything with it like learn something useful from it.

As for "Perhaps I can add your endorsement of this view to the list..." please be careful. Communication requires an exchange of information. If the exchange is in the form of chemicals, that's fine as communication is happening via chemical exchange. But whether chemical exchange alone IS communication is a philosophical question[1]. All I'm saying is that you may be misrepresnting or misunderstanding other people's stated position. Again, without links to read I can't judge.

[1] I'd say yes it is but am open to being shown wrong. It probably depends on whether you believe conscious intent is required. I say no, others may say yes, it is needed.
I agree, but perhaps he meant something more like: "There's about as much evidence to convict [the guy] as there is to convict you or me."
namedtuple yes, it's a tuple so can be unpacked (by position) and dataclasses can not be unpacked. But with the new pattern matching, you can "unpack" dataclass objects that way!

Depends on the terms. Some donations are for specific purposes only. One alum gave Georgetown tens of millions of dollars to spend on flowers only, so now they have flowers everywhere.
Depending on where you go they can be very common. Drive around Beverly Hills or any of the nice parts of LA and you will see 911's and other high end cars more often than you would a Honda Civic.

As someone with a lot of experience of teens in crisis, this is the most prevalent underlying theme. Radical broadening of perspective is indeed the solution, but it is a pretty complex thing to achieve in a system that is underfunded and built to allow parents and overarching social structures to avoid taking responsibility.
Web Emulator for the Kenbak-1 Computer (If You’ve Heard of It)
Yea, this is, in some ways, the biggest UX issue, though something the designer likely had no control over. These machines are just unbearably slow, and I have no idea why. It seems crazy that something like typing in your plate number would take most of a second per character, which is made even worse by a lack of feedback if the button press was accepted, so you often double-type, which leads to corrections, which also take forever.
In fact the Supremes have not ruled; the current fluff is about a leaked draft decision that may not have had more than marginal relation to any decisions they may eventually make.

I suspect it may have been one of a set of "write the opinion you'd write if no one else objected to anything you said," which are then collected and reconciled to see how much common ground there is and generate an agenda for negotiations.

It's not that complicated if you are just earning salary / self-employed income in places. GP's situation with those three countries -- given their fairly sane tax systems and streamlined reporting -- is probably about as complicated as an American's tax, especially if you have multiple states involved.
If you are a citizen of a single country and they turn authoritarian like Australia in the period of covid, you are at the mercy of them.

They may restrict your capital flows, shut off your local bank accounts, make it impossible to get out of the country, and a lot more. Every action they take will impact you directly as the passport holder.

So having more passports allow greater freedom and stability in the long run.

Nobody would have thought a highly developed western country would refuse citizen entry before covid.
JIT cache is the answer, or one of the AOT compilers that exist for ages.
Do they come from geometry or does the geometry terms come from them?

On manual work, pretty much as on geometry, they are almost antonyms. If people can do a few tasks in parallel, that means different people can do them at the same time without going over each other. But if two people tasks as concurrent, that means only one can happen at a time.

It's the mapping of them into computer terms that confused everybody, because concurrency on computers is the opposite of what it is for people. At least the modern meaning of "concurrency", because it's got changed when computers became multi-tasking.

Brexit was my catalyst to (re) claiming German citizenship - my father, sister & kids got it all at once.

I agree with all the above. I have both the 1 and 2 and forgetting to charge them is a big problem. I was also not much using them for drawing, they’re fairly good readers (technical docs or papers to reference while working on hardware) but the shape of them still feels a little off even for that.
You can travel between the countries you hold a passport of regardless of what emergency rules they impose. No country refused entry to its own citizens during the pandemic.
Concepts such as "multi-threading" and "async/await" are particular implementations of concurrency and, potentially, parallelism. They are often used by people who are used to a particular implementation and don't see a reason to use any more abstract word.

But mathematically speaking, "concurrency" and "parallelism" are very much related - by definition, in any concurrent algorithm, there are branches of computation that can be safely parallelized; and every parallel algorithm is, by definition, concurrent.

The difference between the two, I think, is that parallelism colloquialy implies parallel execution (e.g. OpenMP, Numpy), while concurrency does not (e.g. NodeJS) - concurrency is just independence of computation.

That's the reason functional languages generally excel at concurrency - by having explicit dependencies between computational objects, the compiler can just topologically sort the dependency graph, and trivially find which branches of computation can be parallelized.
I agree with a number of points in other replies to your comment, but I do think your app is the best that I've used out of the many I've ended up installing, so kudos for that.
Conventionally, insurance is a financial instrument designed to hedge against unlikely events, like a house fire. In the US, it’s easy to lose sight of this because we use a product called ‘insurance’ to pay for a bunch of regularly occurring expenses, like medical checkups, but that’s not really insurance, it’s a healthcare plan.

Even if I thought the US was 99.5% likely to remain politically stable in my lifetime, I might still think a second passport is a good idea.
That's most likely the peak, so whenever the car is going full throttle.
There was certainly no difference in their use the late 1980s working on early shared memory multiprocessors fulltime at a big academic/industrial collaboration.

Abortion hasn't been (and won't be) made illegal. It's been "delegated^" back to the states where the decision belongs. There are always going to be liberal states where it's legal. The structure of the US as independent states coordinated by the federal government means people can hold mutually exclusive ideas about law and morality without having to live in separate nations.

^The states really delegate a small number of powers to the federal government, things like murder and abortion aren't among those. This is really the way it was supposed to be and Roe vs Wade was a mistake that undermined the legitimacy of the Supreme Court. So delegation is really the wrong word for this but a surprising number of people here seem to have almost no understanding of American civics.

EDIT, I'm out of quota, here's my reply to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31304544 :

> How do you know it won't be made illegal?

This ruling says the federal government has no say in abortion rights. That prevents the federal government from legislating on it. It actually protects your rights from populist right wing mobs on the other side of the continent.

> Why do you assert that it was never under the mandate of the federal government? Obviously it's a contended issue.

All of the powers the federal government has are delegated to it in the Constitution. Show me where this one is.

>- why do you assert anyone who disagree with you is ignorant? Perhaps they listen to the very loud lobby of anti abortion goals, and view this milestone as part of a trend and extrapolate?

Regardless of how they got confused it's not an accurate view of how American government works and thinking that way is harmful to both sides

EDIT 2, my reply to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31304674:

>Here are 13 states that have "trigger laws"

Right, the population there wants it banned, the population in California does not. Now both groups get what they want. It won't be banned in California and, in fact, this ruling makes it harder for republicans to ban it in states like California. This protects your rights if you live in a liberal state.

There's currently a backlash against LeetCode style interviews, and I think one part of this backlash is that dismissing anything that feels LeetCodey (like asking about time complexity) is considered reasonable.

That’s a good point. When I haven’t been into a city in a while, it’s always jarring. I suppose some of the acoustics are related to the sounds hitting buildings and doing the canyon effect. I live in the high desert and the incredibly dry air (usually <15% humidity) doesn’t propagate sound much.
Humans will suffer very bad leadership indeed. Not only does the leadership not need to be "the best" -- they can be very abusive and tyrannical for a very long time, before any kind of collective revolt is organized.

I would expect the majority of people are more motivated by having some skin in the game than they are by the rewards of doing the work itself. I get great joy out of making my clients happy and solving hard problems (I enjoy rabbit holes), but even I get frustrated when there's no real advancement (financial or otherwise) for doing a better job.
I simply see both acts as completely divorced from each other i.e.: revealing the spying and being silent post Ukrainian invasion. First is an act of bravery, second an act of cowardice and well, those are the choices he made and they aren't in contradiction of each other. He was brave once and now he's not, and the truly important thing is what he revealed more so than our opinion of his character.
I was talking about this today with my wife, who is incredibly introverted, but who actually does enjoy these ‘study with me’ videos. I had read a post on reddit where someone was asking for public zoom meetings where they could go ‘for the atmosphere’ of other people working, which helped them work. Like how you felt about this article, this reddit post rubbed me the wrong way. There was something weak, dirty, unsettling about that posters need for vicarious work. It made me think of those gross ‘mukbang’ videos which are popular now.

Anyway, my wife explained that the videos encouraged her to focus, no more and no less. She is always comparing herself to others, so I guess this is why it helps her. I think zoom calls are different though. Very strange. I cannot study without silence, and can never study with people around. Horses for courses.

Depends on the company, but they should. This is a big decision for both the company and the candidate. Both should put a little effort into it to avoid a situation where someone who is hired is unhappy or not a fit for whatever reason.

The secret is to make sure the time invested on both sides is actually increasing signal, and to make it symmetric (ie at any point in the interview process both sides should have invested roughly the same amount of time).
You conveniently ignored my actual question.
A counterpoint to this is that our process generally looks for at least one "Strong Yes" among the interviewers. While they do come up, there aren't _that_ many "No"s in the results, but there are a lot of just "Yes" results.

Not saying it's a perfect process, but just providing a counterpoint that our process actually seems more likely to help someone with the rounded set of interviews we have than we would with fewer.

>> Snowden has chosen the path of silent compliance with Russian law, and in doing so traded in the same free speech he has so hypocritically called America to task for over the years. One cannot act the part of hero and claim to have convictions, only to then run away from every form of accountability.

A big part of freedom of speech is the freedom no to do so. I'm not going to fault someone for going silent. I will fault them for being publicly active and not speaking out but I would never criticize someone for withdrawing from public life, nor would I read anything into that withdrawal. Sometimes people just want to move on. There is no obligation to explain such actions... at least not until you come back.

as with other things: it helps to understand the format and to know what to expect.

also, when I am asking a system design question I am not looking for a perfect design or even a design in particular. at the end of the interview I ask myself the question: given enough time could this person evolve what they have into a design that would work in the wild?
This is an excellent article!

In functional languages this is called "destructuring assignment".

This article could be a great jumping off point into namedtuple[1], the walrus operator [2] and the Pattern Matching[3] (Python 3.10), which assist into getting back into the symbolic domain from the structural domain, though you will have to come up with names! :)

Remember that namedtuple has the following additional methods

_make Class method that makes a new instance from an existing sequence or iterable
_asdict Return a new dict which maps field names to their corresponding values
_replace Return a new instance of the named tuple replacing specified fields with new values
_fields Tuple of strings listing the field names
_field_defaults Dictionary mapping field names to default values.

Hong Kong's John Lee: Ex-security chief becomes new leader
One obvious loophole is that there a lot of people (SSNs) who haven’t gone to a college already, so the college can just sign up people and get subsidies without those “students” ever showing up. They can pay these students, or possibly fake their documentation.
>A lot of people don't have nice urls for their homelab services, having to memorize IP-numbers and ports is a lot harder.

There isn't much excuse for that though. In a homelab setting in particular I think you should just run your own DNS and CA with your own domain. The Name Constraints option is handy there for containing scope (also useful for restricting the scope of any other internal CAs a business might ask you to run for example via cross signing).
Yeah it’s the typing bit I can’t bothered doing. Heimdall has all the IPs and ports with an easy to recognise icon. Save’s me remembering things when I want to do things.

It is my ‘job to be done’, and it does it well.

That is the problem these things solve.

He sacrificed his life in Hawaii with his then-girlfriend. He didn't know that she would want to follow him. He didn't know if he would have a home again, and where it would be, but he was going in exile (and has remained so).
COVID brought a rush of emergency aid programs that weren't very well thought out. In this case, the aid targeted at students likely came through the HEERF, or Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds. Some of the programs are listed here: https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/crrsaa.html

The reason these are ripe for fraud is that in many cases they were implemented as direct deposit transfers directly to registered students. They were implemented without checks or controls in order to get the money out ASAP, so anyone who registered as a student and entered the correct information to qualify could get one of those direct deposits.

As far as I can tell, some of the implementation details depended on the college. Scammers likely tried different colleges until they discovered a system that didn't verify anything (California Junior College System) and then started filling out forms to collect the direct deposits.

The fact that scammers are registering with obviously fake names like "Barack Obama" suggests that zero confirmations are being performed at all before this money is distributed.
Not legally, but presumably it’s harder to get caught if you have another citizenship in a country that doesn’t tax crypto.
Now do

I never really understood the rationale here. Pep8 hates lambdas, which is also baffling. It seems as though tptb don't like lambdas, but there wasn't enough political will to remove them entirely, so they kneecapped them instead. Because... more lines = more readable??

But we've got a walrus operator now, because... less lines = more readable?

>People tend to take their problems with them. Changing external circumstances may help some, but even then the improvement tends to be short-lived until their demons come back to haunt them. Severe depression is rarely so easily cured.

The context here is teens. Of course the majority of them have underlying "demons," but combining that with the bleak realities of having to decide what to do with your adult life while having drastically limited perspective on your choices is a huge trapdoor that needs to be avoided before they can get to higher levels of self repair.

Asshole he might be but he was right about Disney.
As someone who does “system design” for a living - I specialize in application development, but I get pulled into the architecture side also - if you give me a set of requirements including your requirements for scalability, high availability, disaster recovery, do you need immediate vs eventual consistency, networking requirements etc, I can usually walk through and diagram an ugly (not aesthetically pleasing) whiteboard solution relatively quickly. I can get you a good diagram in a half a day. Most of the time, the actual implementation is not too far off my initial design.

Knowing how to do system design is no different than knowing how to do DS&A (which I’ve never had to do at any developer interview between 8 jobs over 25 years). It’s all about recognizing patterns.

What really amazes me about the software engineering interview process at larger companies is that they are given theoretical system design scenarios instead of asking them to walk through their real world experience.

Both in the latter part of my interviewing in the real world at small companies who needed someone with experience to help them scale and my interview for my current cloud consulting position at $BigTech, they wanted to make sure I had real world experience and understood the consequences and trade offs of my choices.
