Would you suggest someone with 10-20 years of experience to practice and learn how to solve leetcode problems? Or just expect them to be able to solve them without any prior exposure?

And if you would suggest they learn them what would that person be gaining that they lacked before?
It’s becoming exactly the same story in the UK under the conservative government, people with lifelong disabilities forced to be assessed regularly to prove their legs or arms haven’t grown back or they haven’t grown out of their cerebral palsy etc.

According to the UK government’s own figures benefit fraud makes up 3.9% of the total amount paid out (N.B. this includes all types of benefits), and 75% of people rejected for disability benefits are successful on appeal. It seems pretty obvious that this is an ideological policy of penalising people who can’t work because people’s value as human beings is seen as equivalent to the amount of work they can do.
> Luckily, by the time we run out we'll have already colonized most of the solar system.

I tend to agree with the first part, but am reluctant to fully agree due to this last part. If it was true that we have enough to last us up until we colonize the solar system, then maybe the first part would be fine. This assumes that colonising the solar system is even possible, and that we have enough energy available on earth to even do this.
Not sure, what do other laptops in the same price segment offer these days? I admit it's been a while since I looked, but I really doubt anyone has 32gb on a 1000 dollars laptop, or even 1500.
I bought a new System 76 machine about this time last year, and splurged (by my standards) on 64GB of RAM. BEST. DECISION. EVAAAR. as far as I'm concerned. For probably the first time in my life, I feel like I can do basically whatever I want and not have to worry about RAM. Have 8 Firefox windows with 200 tabs open, 3 or 4 Eclipse instances, and a few server apps running, and want to launch a bunch of VM's with Vagrant? Done. Want to launch one more Eclipse instance? Not a problem. Opening another couple of dozen browser tabs? No sweat.

Of course that's not my normal mode of operation (well, except for the 200 tabs part), but the point is, I'm finally not limited by memory. I don't have to think about it now. I don't find myself always running "top" or "free -h" to try and figure out "OK, do I need to kill some stuff now?" and if so, "what should I kill?" Nope. Any and everything I do in my routine workflow fits in the scope of the hardware. It's incredibly liberating.

"Oh," the critics will say, "RAM that isn't used is wasted." To which I say "so fucking what? It's my RAM and I'll damn well waste it if I want."
> Now it is required everywhere for every purchase.

That very much breaks the rules, and I can't say I've ever had to use it outside of customer-not-present purchases, in around 30 countries I've used cards in.

Where are you that this happens? Is this something that people are doing when processing magnetic stripe transactions in places where that's still supported?
Likewise, mathematical formulae are specifically excluded from copyright law, so I'm wondering how this ever got off the ground. If he won according to actual law and not misjudgment then there's something inconsistent with the law and it ought to be rectified.
Linux seems to have much worse memory management for desktop usage than other popular desktop operating systems. I have found that I really need 64GB of RAM to make Chrome run well on Linux, but I can get a similar user experience with as little as 16GB of RAM on other desktop operating systems. Firefox does much better, but Chrome seems to be the standard these days, and a computer that doesn't run Chrome well is probably defective in most people's eyes these days.
You should study crypto, blockchain, tokens and NFTs as an example of the type of fraud that is the signature of mania.

There needs to be investigation on the circumstances that make groups irrational. What exactly is the causality in the cycle of pandemic, mania, recession, war? We need a model for this.
For guys, martial arts is a pretty good activity for creating relationships with others.

The downsides are that it can be expensive for membership fees, take a lot of commitment and time, and also be a competitive, high-pressure environment. Each of these can be mitigated to some extent, but it takes effort and independent thinking (especially when resisting the social pressures to be competitive).

Other activities can include: rock climbing (though no personal experience), board games including chess (I heard lots of good anecdotal experiences with this), Dungeons and Dragons (minority opinion, but this can be tough to commit to due to the required time, often ~4 hours per week), other physical sports (e.g. pickup basketball if you have a skill at it), and volunteering. Book clubs can also be good places to meet others and have discussions.

Committee activities can also be a good place to meet others. I suspect that many older adults join committees such as homeowner associations or parent-teacher associations, partially to meet other people and socialize. Outside of these, there are committees at smaller, local non-profits where people can also meet and socialize with others, while working toward a goal.
Now I'm wondering, can this be done in c++ with variadic templates?

Yes, data shapes decisions. Should that not be the case?

A hiring lead is expected to find the best candidates, not just the ones with a higher number on a simplistic test. Your point is correct that a hiring lead with bad judgement or low engagement might get a bad result, but what hiring process cannot be undermined in that way?

When you don't like something, it's common to mischaracterize it with anecdotes of stupidity, then say it must be stupid. The argument is basically "a biased and obnoxious hiring manager could misuse that data to make biased and stupid hiring decisions". Yeeeeeees. Obviously.

The psychometric test we use is a series of numbers covering different aspects; it's simplistic, but not as simplistic as I reflected with a single number.

Hiring leads often progress a candidate that didn't ace that test because they see evidence of excellence in other data. And I often reject offers to candidates who aced that test because I think the result doesn't gel with reality, although I will usually interview a candidate if I have concerns about an offer.
"Seriously", "you're citing a 19th century weirdo against over a century of historical research on the treatment of slaves, virtually all of which repudiates that weirdo", comma, "gross".

Further, "I'm not a proponent of slavery" is a sequence of words that loses a lot of its power when it follows a direct assertion that people may have been better off under slavery, as not only Nehemiah Adams believed, but you, from your own comment, also seem to as well?

"Black slave families were closer and more stable(parental seperation rates) than they are now". Gross! The principle of charity is a thing, but there are limits to charity.
I was on freenode off and on for many years...the ex staff that now runs libera are some of the most sad toxic ego maniacs on the internet. These people were never professional or kind, they've always been immature and obsessed with power and control to the point that the old freenode owner had to sell quietly to try and avoid riling up these neck beards...her efforts were in vain of course because per mo one of the lead freenode admins threw a tantrum and locked out the new owner by changing passwords...liberal can celebrate all it wants, it's leaders are terrible people who love to abuse the little power that they have. Irc in general is inherently awful and I'm glad it's almost completely dead. Keep faking dem connection stats and spamming "off topic" whaaa

OK, but then again, I'm not seeing the utility of an NFT on a public blockchain, apart from the mythincal "I get to use it in other games" thing, which is only going to work in games with "free" art assets - vanishingly few.

>Also, the thing about a village supporting one cavalry soldier seems off. The roman army focused on infantry with cavalry being supplied by allied forces.

Also possible that they're thinking of the Roman Kingdom and the Equites?
That’s not really an unbiased source lol
I'm not a domain expert, but I believe that figure is the total amount that's created, not separated.

I.e. this language:

- "Ni et al (1) estimate that one CANDU 6 reactor can produce 130 g of tritium per year, but this is based on physics, not actual production data."

https://scientific-publications.ukaea.uk/wp-content/uploads/...

ref. (1) is https://sci-hub.se/http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.fusengdes.201...

It's just not a physically efficient process. Heavy-water reactors weren't optimized to produce tritium; it was an unwanted contaminant.
Expensive and probably just not worth the benefits compared to more conventional alloys and you can also make carbon fiber or titanium bikes. Magnesium-alloy bikes are also quite rare and beryllium even more so.
I’ve found beta blockers at low doses help quite a bit with low grade anxiety. I’m prescribed them for other reasons, but they do seem to be another class of drugs that can help for anxiety just a bit.
If nothing else, the codebase for this has shown me how relatively painless it is to hook into external library code within DLLs from Python. I’ve been using Python for what I’d describe as normal work for years and didn’t know it was that simple, given its a use case I’ve not encountered yet in my work life.
I've seen implentations with some of these pieces, and I've found them universally awful. My many email addresses are not set up on all of the devices I use, requiring me to find a way to transmit the magic link from one device to another, often airgapped.

It's fine for a single device uses, but it breaks rapidly at scale.
For me, the main positive of the shutdown is a massive increase in the amount of improv I can do. I can easily take 3 improv classes via Zoom per week. Each class has a number of people which has remained fairly constant over the last year or two, forming a fairly cohesive mini-community. This applies also to jams.

Here's an example. I live in Los Angeles. Through FaceBook, I found a bi-weekly improvised rap jam that is led by a doctor in Belfast. Very enjoyable and completely impossible without Zoom.

I have also taken classes from world-famous teachers that I could have never otherwise met, as well as classes from Tucson, Las Vegas, Chicago, New York, Florida, and London.

Doing this, alone is not alone.
Ironically, this is perhaps the smallest problem facing practical civil fusion power.

Probably the biggest problem is wasting time and budget on such dead-end technology as Tokamak, which can never in anybody's wildest dream be competitive with renewables, even given abundant tritium. But the conceivably useful D-3He aneutronic fusion depends on a supply of 3He, which is uniquely a product of tritium decay, and thus also depends on a tritium supply.

Thus D-3He would not be useful for baseload civil power, either. But it could be the only useful power source for projects in the outer solar system, for which a much smaller amount of 3He would suffice. It is hard to imagine another power source adequate in the outer solar system (aside from pB11 fusion which would be super if it is actually possible at all).

(No, mining 3He from the moon would totally not work at all.)

So I guess try to get your first LC job before your personal life gets demanding, then hold on to that job for dear life so you don’t have to grind LC again?
This seemed like marketing speak to me so I went looking for research on it. I found something which was interesting:

For instance, the addition of Sc and Zr to 6061 alloy shows a slower ageing response at 190 °C, resulting in lower yield strength of 321 MPa (aged for 5 h) than base 6061 alloys (350 MPa) [64]. On prolonged ageing (36 h), a significant drop (~ 19%) in the yield strength of 6061 alloys was reported compared to only a ~ 6% drop in ScZr-modified 6061 alloys. [1]

I wonder if I am reading this right or if 6061 is actually not very alloyable with scandium.

Do you have any idea just how specialized the human brain is?

I can just imagine if evolution was a side spectator event, people commenting: "Broca's area just regulates breathing. And that Wernicke's area is just pattern recognition in sounds. Those aren't going to get us to anything important."

Point me to actual large generalized models in nature that aren't composed of smaller specialized functions and you might have a leg to stand on.

(Oh wait, no, those legs things are pretty specialized too, and each have their own specialized parts. Bad analogy.)

Well, good luck with your identifying an example of complex generalization without subspecialties!
When I went to Europe backpacking the rude shocker was waking up in the middle of the night because that seat was not reserved. I thought that train only had unreserved seats. From next day I started adding reservation with that extra cost every time I had to reserve seats or berths and then seeing a lot of Europe essentially had just buses as public transports and not trains (esp. when I moved towards Eastern Europe -- also in Sarajevo I believe the pass didn't work, I had bought that in AMS).

Maybe next time I will manage it better. Is there a pass that doesn't require you to pay extra every time you want to reserve a seat/berth on the train if you already have a pass?

Did you really never have ongoing romantic tension with someone you interacted with regularly? It seems rather inevitable for young people to find themselves in one of these. Even the loneliest people I know have mustered up some kind of tension with someone, even if they were never able to act on it.

Coal is on its way out, so is not a sensible standard of comparison.
I was really excited to see graphlib in stdlib (despite the very limited use so far), but wow is it me or that API is.... awful. I guess it's super focused on parallel task processing but that has to be one of the least Pythonic and user-friendly APIs I've seen. Create a class, then call .prepare(), then loop over .is_active(), what the hell were they thinking? I was hoping to have a nice alternative to networkx, which is big and slow, but this is honestly a mess.

Also is ZoneInfo basically stdlib version of pytz? Why not just put it under datetime.timezone like utc?
LPC taught so many non-programmers how to code working games it's incredible.

There is then the issue of developers. Who gets the job of detecting which gimmicky shape a screen is? Web browser developers or website developers?
Maybe my viewpoint is from being used to rectangular screens. I'm also not a web developer but mobile. I already hate having to implement portrait and landscape layouts. Please don't add a star shaped phone.

I’m not sure about RAM, but in a large software project that is compiled (even Java) it’s pretty easy to max out every core I have available when building.

Cultures that decouple sex from procreative relationships are in decline. The literal commoditization of it through legalized prostitution is a merely a specific manifestation of a more general cultural attitude.
In my sibling comment, I calculate 600:1 fission:fusion, for the heavy water reactors they're talking about.

(I think it could be somewhat better if it were a fission reactor optimized for tritium, but I don't know the numbers for that. I think that would entail fast-neutron reactors with enriched ⁶Li blankets -- analagous to what the fusion reactors are planning to do).
Welcome to the Linux world, one of the reasons the year of the Linux desktop never came is this constant bikeshedding and bashing over other people efforts. You give them a modern desktop environment and they complain they can't run their obscure tiling window manager, you give them a modern init system and they complain their mess of ugly shell script don't work anymore, you give them a modern audio system and I don't even remember why did people hate on that. And you could go on for days.
Listen to yourself. When you start talking about the signal to noise ratio and calculating the return on investment of social interactions, its time to step away from the keyboard and reevaluate your life.

I can see how you would draw those conclusions, because yes, we have made mistakes, and we do have some products that are proprietary, and we have made some shitty software.

At the scale of hundreds of engineers working on tens of codebases, who hasn't?

That's my dispute with your position - it's flatly generalising and characterising ALL our work as if it was our least successful work. By all means, call us out on our mistakes. But if you think everything we have ever done was hopeless, then you must have some theory about why so much of what we do has in fact been widely adopted. Surely you can see how fragile your own arguments must be if they are at odds with some clear data.

I like challenges and criticism; it helps us get better. I know we have made mistakes, that helps us get better too. I respect people who have differences of opinion on what needs doing, or how it needs to be done. Why not take the opportunity to become a counterpart in a rich discussion, rather than a one-dimensional anti-everything-Canonical mouthpiece?

We killed Unity for three reasons. First, I ran out of money to fund it. That was rough. Second, we built some very shoddy pieces in that codebase (though we also had some teams that did amazing work). That was sad and taught me a hard lesson. Third, we were the fourth horse in a two horse race, and the telco and ISV ecosystems were clearly not going to engage.

I agree with you - the vision of Unity was and still is beautiful. It's probably right - convergence between phones and tablets and laptops is the future for laptops. I think it's fantastic that a small but feisty community continues to work with that code. I was therefor, like you, completely disappointed to fail.

But why hate on me, and Canonical, when we literally put everything we had on the line for that vision, but screwed up? Why be an ass to the sorts of people who are willing to put every ounce of strength they have into something that you really wanted to see succeed? We failed because we made mistakes, yes, but for heavens sake recognise an ally when you see one, even if they make mistakes.
I generally agree that it's not worth importing operator just to get access to itemgetter. operator module has a few other nice functions though.
Pushing the blame for externalities onto some nebulous other is antisocial though. It's a way of absolving yourself and others of the responsibility of agency and creating change. Limiting the definition to actions which directly "disrupt" others is simply a way for the privileged to export their antisocial behavior to ethically unburdened faceless corporations.

Is it practical to stop reading because a tree gets cut or your ereader needs charging? Probably not, but that's why change doesn't happen until it's forced by the circumstances.

Right, that's why I didn't link to Stylish. uBO is great for blocklists but all my custom styles go in stylesheets eventually. You can use both (I do)!
There will never be any marketable fusion power at all, never mind "infinite". Power from Tokamaks necessarily costs at least 10x power from fission, and fission is already not competitive, and gets less so each year.

I think it's more than just a matter of acid leeching from metal utensils and plates. Italy -- rather like early America -- consisted of a relatively urbanized and wealthy North and a poorer and more rural South. Tomatoes (and pizza!) were a staple of Southern Italian cuisine but snobby Northerners ate more pasta and meat.
I can't say for sure there is a neutral to positive benefit of a massage.

I CAN say there is a hurting to relief benefit of massage. I have experienced it many times.

I doubt anyone is without problems, therefore massage can absolutely help people with problems.

My guy puts his hands on me and 5 minutes later he knows exactly what is stressed and hurting.

Often im so sore and hurting that I don't want to go. There is no way he can make it better without hurting me. And yet, time and time again, I leave feeling objectively better, and with pain turned to soreness that heals.

Again and again and again..

Also went to a sports medicine friend. He hurt the hell out of me. Told.me.i could take it, and then worked the hurting TMJ muscle so much it gave up tensing and relaxed.

Never been more relieved in my life, but that one hurt.
