> I just cant imagine living in such a world where each system had to know fully well ahead of time each type of data it might want to interact with, might have to have that precompiled & baked in

At the level of a browser extension (which, operating outside the per-page security sandbox, has wide latitude to observe and manipulate the user's experience and interactions with the web), the new way of thinking is that such forward-declared constraint should be the prerequisite for the security-conscious extension.

By all means, change your behavior over time... By the process of pushing new versions of the extension, which can be statically analyzed, and forward-declaring the permissions you need to accomplish your tasks. Anything else is asking the user to trust a stranger (both to not be malicious and to not be inept).

> That's a shitty miserable world that looks like the hell JS plucked us out of

JS plucked us out of one hell and put us, initially, into another where any old website could fake a query to get your bank account data or steal your password. We've been digging out of that hell ever since, and this is another step in that process.
No, there shouldn't be, because if you haven't convicted Bob of a crime it's not "obvious profits of crime". It could be perfectly legitimate and you haven't proved otherwise. You can certainly seize the cash as possible evidence of a crime, but if you don't charge Bob then you've got no justification to penalize him by keeping the cash, and it should go back to him.

how did you get into college with Cs?
Tech companies favor deeper tech skills greater than non-tech companies do, is what I'm reading, and it does not sound too surprising.

You are also less likely to deal with the "leetcode" subject matter (e.g. design and analysis of algorithms) at a non-tech company, so if you don't want to deal with that, applying at a non-tech company is a good idea. Does not mean that a job at a tech company won't be like that, though. They have CRUD SaaS apps, too...
Google dropped the college degree requirement but retained the leetcode interviews, so it must be working somewhat well for them. They have access to more data on this than any of us.

Elon sees the writing on the wall that the American government is going to flip to Republican two years from now.

This will almost certainly usher in an era of 8-12 years of "strong republican" leadership, with front runners like Desantis unlikely to pull the same dumb moves as Trump.

He wants to create early allies in this system so they will leave him alone and probably even push his agenda.

For example the launch site expansion in Texas has been suspended by the EPA, not a problem when the next president comes in and fires the head of the EPA, at Elon's suggestion.

Metastatic disease is when a cancer spreads to multiple locations. This can make it difficult/impossible/impractical to treat effectively, especially surgically.

Whole brain radiotherapy works by killing everything a little bit in the hopes that the tumors die first (e.g. like chemo). There are good reasonswhy this tends to mostly-sort-of be true, but getting the balance right is hard and too much dose will definitely cause other problems.

SRS is a way of targeting radiation directly to locations to kill cells, with less effective dose (hence damage) to other parts of the brain.

It's all pretty harsh stuff, and you can die from the necrotic tissue caused by it, also.

Often with this kind of disease you know you aren't going to cure someone, but you can get rid of symptoms and make people more comfortable (palliative care).

You just have to practice. I used to be quite bad at it, but I've improved greatly.

Here's what I recommend: start with a specific topic -- maybe HashMaps, Graph Problems, Dynamic Programming, Greedy Algorithms, whatever. Start with the easiest problem on Leetcode for that category and work your way up to a "Hard" problem in the same category. It helps build a mental "muscle" for that type of problem, and it will be easier to activate that "muscle memory" whenever you have to brush up on Leetcode again for your next round of interviews in the future.
To second this point, part of being a good programmer means picking up new skills quickly, and then applying them.

Leet code is very contrived. However, learning leet code, then applying it in an interview shows you have the aptitude to learn quickly.

The parent's point is that if you actually wanted to get there at any time other than exactly when the 7:08a train arrives, say because you have an appointment at a set time, then you're going to end up having a wait somewhere along your journey because the train wasn't on your ideal schedule.

For example, if that train arrives at 10:08a, say, and the next train is the 9:09a which arrives at 12:09a, and you had an 11:00a appointment, you're going to wait 45 minutes at your destination because you couldn't arrive closer to the target time.

When you say leetcode, are you talking about leetcode questions, or just algorithm/CS questions?

I've been asked a wide range of interview questions from "what's a cache" (I answered "would you like to me to cut to the chase and implement lru cache in python?"), how many steps does it take ants on a stick to fall off (https://physics.montana.edu/avorontsov/teaching/problemofthe... the interviewer said "it's easy if you just think of them as virtual ants that can pass through each other"), "what's the average waiting time for a bus that comes every ten minutes" (interviewer could not answer some of my starting questions like, "what is the arrival distribution- every ten minutes, or is that just sort of an average, is it poissonian, are the buses interacting with each other, etc", "implement quicksort" (got this wrong the first time I interviewed at Google).

When I interviewed at a company recently a junior employee administered a question straight out of leetcode, with the data inputs and outputs completely unchanged. I exited the interview and contacted the CEO directly to say that if that's how they interview senior staff, it's not the company for me (I wouldn't have complained if they'd changed the inputs/outputs or slightly modified the problem, or came up with their own interesting variant).

Because we need some signal that a candidate can program and do something a little more complicated than fizzbuzz.

The homebrew creator shouldn't have been hired at Google if that was his attitude. Also, homebrew sucks and many googlers try to avoid it if possible.

My suggestion is to start with the easiest leetcode questions and memorize the answers and type out the code and run it with various inputs.
"existence is pain!" That printer, probably
Mythbusters found pretty much the same thing - IF (big IF there) you can fire it EXACTLY vertically so that the returning bullet is just like it was dropped from a balloon or something, the terminal velocity is not lethal

However, with any significant angle off-vertical, the bullet still travels in a stable trajectory and orientation, so will impact with a speed much higher than random-orientation terminal velocity, and be potentially lethal, even if passing through some roofing material on the way into your body.

So yeah, don't shoot into the air, and don't be around where anyone does...

No. Not all screenings/tests are done, even when it's super low cost and non-invasive. For example, one factor that is used to determine whether to screen for certain types of cancer is "Possible harms from follow-up procedures". [1] Another factor that is taken into account it the chances of a false positive. [1] Both of these factors are irrational, since more information is strictly optimal given a rational agent. They should not even merit consideration in choosing whether to undertake a screening (this information should only be used after a screening is done, to determine follow-up action).

In my opinion, the only justifiable factors are probably along the lines of:

- invasiveness (e.g. if it's non-invasive or minimal cost)

- benefit to the patient if detected

- cost relative to other screenings/actions that can be done for the patient

Everything else seems strictly suboptimal.

How do you feel about assessments in other professions? For example, the bar exam for lawyers? X Engineering Certification for the specific fields? Even networking and security folks take certification and exams as a means of attesting proficiency. Are these things accurate? Is there a better system? No idea. Software engineering's processes are more adhoc, but can be categorized similarly. We're looking to answer the same question: Is this person competent? Resumes / CVs often aren't sufficient for the examples above.

We do the dance when we swap jobs, other professions do the dance as their licenses / certifications expire periodically. I'm sure there's an engineer somewhere that struggles with anxiety when attempting their Engineer in Training [1] certification too.

In short, buck up.

At some point the metric becomes the goal itself.

Ie. Leetcode style programing is/was used to filter out engineers that couldn't program. And the problems themselves were relatively easy, reverse a tree, build and LRU (which is not trivial at all).

But then there is an army of prep information, and people are just optimizing for Leetcode style programing. Then companies have to raise the bar again, and keep asking even harder questions. ie. build LRU from scratch was considered hard, now it is just a 'medium' level.

It has taken to stupid levels, where it is not anymore a metric of 'is this person a good engineer', but more of a 'how much this person did prep'. i.e. it becomes a measure of effort and desperation, and not just sheer ability.

That's why you see so many stories, of engineers preping for leetcode only, getting in, and not being able to do their job and getting piped....

Also, personally, the best thing that I did to make me a better engineer was creating an app, a backend, and full service, with paying customers. That taught me much much more than spending months on leetcode ever did.
Brushing up some CS concepts and Data Structures, and some coding, does help you to become a better engineer. But doing just that, it doesn't make you a truly useful engineer at all.
I know leetcode hate is a popular theme on this website but frankly I think it’s overblown. You can basically solve any leetcode easy or medium if you understand like ten basic concepts (that you should know anyway) and then spend maybe a week reading solutions for the more trick questions. Leetcode hards require more memorization, but honestly, if we’re going to talk about pointless studying take a look sometime at what med school and law school students have to do.

In perspective, is 3-4 months of studying to get a job really that big of a problem? I spent longer than that studying for the SATs.

Material production still requires accounting, installation, transportation, delivery, disposition, optimization. Financial parasitism more clearly occurs when someone pledges something to lenders which they do not actually own. For example in the 19th century when JP Morgan lent to planters on security of chattel slaves, the planters pledged the bodies of other people as collateral. Arguably loans should only be issued on security of personal property which does not deny the personal property rights of others. This might exclude leveraged lending of money on security of money (arguably lending on security of state property) and excess real values due to land scarcity (arguably lending on security of common property).
> Please don't.

Please do!

Because even with the most generous interpretation of your issue, it seems fully self-inflicted, by a lack of typing skills compounded by refusing to configure the keymap or the sysreq bitmask, and asking instead for that to become everyone problem by having the key moved!

> accidentally slipping your finger from AltGr onto the PrintScr

What about learning to touchtype? And until them, typing in a well lit room?

> It's a choice between triggering crashes _all the time_, or disabling sysrq and never being able to debug the legit ones.

That's a false dichotomy. You are not triggering crashes, you are instructing your computer to reboot (sysreq B) which it does.

It should not be blamed on the computer, but on your lack of attention, and the lack of adaptation, so I'd even call that a self inflicted problem.

If you can take the time to configure your laptop to use a non standard layout, you can certainly take the extra time to learn proper typing instead of bothering the vast majority of those who are happy with this layout.

If you can't take that time, you can certainly apply one of the many possible counter measures, like moving sysreq to another key (cf dumpkeys and loadkeys), or just disabling the sysreq reboot function (0 disables sysreq, 1 enables it, but you can have a finer control if you read the documentation, ex: 128 is the bitmask for the reboot/poweroff) which would let you debug the "legit ones" - though if your linux has legit crashes, you may have bigger problems!

I was tempted to see it that way, but the general right to be left alone by the government is most certainly in the founding character of the country. That right to be left alone most certainly applies to medical care. The only thing novel about Roe v Wade was applying the newer standard of gender equality to extend the right to be left alone to women.

Since we're talking about abortion, let's restate what should be abundantly clear - nobody is using abortion as a substitute for birth control. "Pro-choice" is an utterly stupid term that plays right into the political tempest-in-a-tea-pot, completely on-brand for the Democratic party. An appropriate label would be pro-medical-care. This whole topic is akin to debating whether individual states should be able to prevent their residents from receiving blood transfusions.

I do a lot of interviewing and have never liked the Leetcode-style interviews favored by some of the big companies. I feel like they favor a certain type of person who can memorize a bunch of solutions where they should be looking at general problem solving and flexibility.

That said, some coding in an interview is pretty much a requirement for any sort of programmer job. If you ever start interviewing candidates yourself you will see why - a non-zero percentage of applicants are very poor programmers, even those that claim years of experience.
