That’s not a problem! There’s nothing wrong with it.

Perhaps you can switch professors or course. There are usually alternatives in these universities for going deeper in a topic.

I’d expect a general literature course to give me a good overview of world literature, and to go deeper I’d choose a more specific class on the subject. There’s only so much time during the semester, and exposing the student to a breadth of information is the point.

The interview process is supposed to measure (or attempt) a whole bunch of aspects. Coding / technical skills, but also communication skills, reasoning, logical assessment, context / intuition, social interaction, decision making under uncertainty, systems thinking, testing, etc. No serious interview process is going to rely exclusively on leetcode questions to fully vet anyone. It requires a balance of many things. Furthermore, good interviewers are aware of these multiple dimensions, and are evaluating candidates on any many levels as possible.

Yes, leetcode questions are a part of the process, and are often an early gate. However, one can perform “badly” but still score sufficiently well on the non-obvious metrics and make it through. Most interviewers don’t actually care if you have the standard libs memorized, and get that. You typically have a lot of leeway to demonstrate your knowledge, and staying open about what you’re thinking and doing goes a long way.

If you have sway in how your company interviews, consider being clear with candidates on all the dimensions they are being eval’d on, maybe let candidates choose take home assignments, ask candidates about projects they have worked on, etc. as part of the process.

If you zoom in to the first time period I mention (Oct 2018), and inspect visually, it was strictly under $1 for nearly two months. Right after that it was strictly over $1 for nearly two months. That's if you trust that site's data of course.

Remember this is the price on the secondary market, and these are just random people who see the price and then shuffle money around so they can buy a dollar for 99.9 cents. Anyone can do it (if you can stomach exposure to USDT of course). So if the system is working properly the price should generally hover within $1 plus or minus the cost to move money, but there's nothing keeping it at exactly $1.000000.

I think that's somewhat different because in Ancient Greece there was extreme decentralization. Cities were sovereign entities with an extreme diversity of ideological and other values. Compare Athens and Sparta, for instance. And so in this system, if one stays in a city then there is a strong argument to be made that they are implicitly supportive of the laws and rules of said area.

In modern times this isn't really the case. There tend to be immense legal restrictions on movement, let alone living + working in different areas. And the differences that do exist between even nations within the same "sphere" tend to be relatively negligible compared to, again, the sort of monumental differences you'd see just between different Greek city-states like Athens/Sparta.
An option to highlight a “Note” and “Warning” using blockquote (Beta)
There are classes in Elizabethan English literature. A broad creative writing class should be expected to cover more forms. It would be like learning the discoveries of only English chemists in chemistry class.

The problem here is the wording the professor used to justify the change, but triggering outrage from the usual suspects by using the ancient "trolling" creative writing form and then "leaking" that justification seems like this could just be a kind of performance art.
> also the constant repetition of people getting lost in the wilderness and having a vision of Hiroko [...] really needed a more judicious editor

Agreed. I also took some time to go through all the books and did it in the end partly out of a sense of duty.

:D Initially it was meant to be a throwaway account, but I didn't want to go with the usual throwaway1234 pattern that is common on hn.

> the politics and philosophy of dune are even more interesting than mars, though obviously different in scope/plausibility.

Also agreed. It's not easy for me to say which of the two conveys more insight into the human condition and human societies. Dune is certainly grander and bolder in vision, with lots of surprising speculation. Otoh, Mars credibly captures the anarchic dynamics that would arise were we to ever actually colonize the planet.

In the end they both have something to offer, though for me Dune remains the greater series.

The other US markets don't "get it" yet imho.

That's why I stuck with vi and sh back in the day: I knew they were on every machine I might telnet to (this was before ssh, sigh).

On machines I controlled, I mostly used ksh, but it wasn't available on all machines; I cannot remember if it was the SunOS boxes or the older HP-UX or the Apollos, but there were a few. (csh? Go away. No, just go.)

Nowadays, vim and bash are everywhere I need them to be, even if I have to kludge around some version differences.

My only real gripe about find is the awkwardness of pruning multiple hierarchies. After you've written

find / -path /sys -prune -o -path /dev -prune -o ... -o -type f -exec grep -H WHATEVER {} \;

a few times, and have returned to the previous command to add yet another

-o -path ... -prune

tuple, it gets a little old.

But it works. Everywhere.

Leetcode-style interviews disenfranchise different groups (parents, non collegiate education) from succeeding in the interview process. Like you mentioned, these assemssments are not an accurate proxy for development. I've detailed the various flaws of the Leetcode approach, compared Leetcode with common alternatives, and propose an alternate style of interview that is more accurate and fair here:

How do you understand maintainability and architectural concerns without understanding algorithmic underpinnings?

At the base level, leetcode problems and maintaining a complex system in practice requires key understandings: what your problem is, which tool to use, and how your tool works/tradeoffs. It follows what (I hope is) a universal truth: if you want to be a good coder, you need to know code.

If you want to change the emphasis, just don't work at companies that provide leetcode questions. If your hypothesis is true, then all the companies that don't do leetcode questions should have an advantage since their engineers are better at the practical aspects.
Yep, per the paper the mean correlation was about .26, which is still fairly strong.

“Proxy” isn’t great phrasing, “correlates with” is better.
My advice? Same as ever. Suck it up. Do it - it's hardly the worst part of the job and not doing it will mean you make less money. You're very unlikely reaching $500k+/yr by avoiding LC compared to how trivial it is to reach once you accept it.

If you think leetcode is the worst part of being in this workforce - you live one incredibly privileged life. Wait until you have to deal with toxic management that exists in virtually every company and in virtually every leadership position. Wait until you have to deal with people who have a personal vendetta against you because of prejudice and will block any achievements you can make at a company. Are you excited for stack ranking? It exists at nearly every company and if it doesn't explicitly - it happens mentally. Are you excited to see incredibly huge churn in your industry? Are you excited to see the best and brightest constantly shutdown due to favoritism (and you will likely not be in that in-group)? Are you excited to watch people over the years lose all their hope and become soulless corporate ghouls who become the shill LinkedIn promoters that they themselves condemned a few years previously? Are you excited to work 60+ hour weeks to get PIP'd because that's just the way it is? (It will happen) Are you excited to put nights and weekends in at startups to see a round where the execs lose no value but your stock sees 3x+ dilution and no increase in value?

These are common problems at companies within SV. Leetcode is hardly a problem when you see how fucking terrible the rest is.

The article covers that.

> Tritium breeding was originally going to be tested as part of ITER, but as costs ballooned from an initial $6 billion to more than $25 billion it was quietly dropped. Willms’ job at ITER is to manage smaller-scale tests. Instead of a full blanket of lithium surrounding the fusion reaction, ITER will use suitcase-sized samples of differently presented lithium inserted into “ports” around the tokamak: ceramic pebble beds, liquid lithium, lead lithium.

> Even Willms admits that this technology is a long way from being ready to use, however, and a full-scale test of tritium breeding will have to wait until the next generation of reactors, which some argue might be too late. “After 2035 we have to construct a new machine that will take another 20 or 30 years for testing a crucial task like how to produce the tritium, so how are we going to block and stop global warming with fusion reactors if we will not be ready until the end of this century?” says Mazzucato.

USDC has the exact same properties as USDT, but has no legal issue and is backed by an entity that is a infinitely more trustworthy.

There is Gemini USD - similar story.

There is DAI if you are long on ETH/BTC and still want/need liquidity.

Curve has a pool without USDT (cDAI/cUSDC).

Uniswap lets you make any type of pair. On its heyday (before v3), I was providing to DAI/USDC and I was getting 2% returns per month.

So my question is: why USDT, when there is a handful of better stabletokens that can be used for the exact same purpose? If it is common knowledge that Tether is not to be trusted, why would any honest person still use it?
Precisely. A friend of mine trades futures for a non-profit made up of growers as members. It is more efficient insurance than the federal government offers them and saves them millions.
It is a common complaint in discussions about sort algorithms that the case for sorting numbers is a degenerate case and 'real' cases involve at least pointer chasing, which can make the cost of compares to stop being constant time, or have a constant time that is greater than log(n) (or worse, n).

Sometimes locality of reference may increase the total number of comparisons but decrease the average cost considerably. For practical applications like databases, it's the runtime that matters, not the theory.

> I do not want to buy or own cryptocoins. Web3 does not look interesting to me at this point.

Yes.

Have a try for yourself and just learn whatever you want to and do not listen to any extreme anti-crypto or crypto-maximalist telling you either not to learn it completely or look at only their 'holy' and 'true' blockchain project.

The undeniable fact is; it is always going to be around and there always blockchain projects (NOT silly meme token projects) always emerging in the background, especially in payments and the internet itself.
I was thinking Marilyn Monroe.
You say the price will explode. But is that explosion just the relative price of bitcoin and tether? Tether is dropping to 0 and so bitcoin price "explodes" because you are still comparing it to tether.

> I surprised myself by how sympathetic I am to this proposal, given I've made a career in finance. The problem, however, is separating productive from unproductive schemes ex ante.

This is just the finance sector subset of the larger problem of bullshit jobs. We know a substantial fraction of jobs are bullshit (non-value-creating), but which ones? I have a strong suspicion this is unsolvable because any metric you start using to decide which jobs are bullshit will instantly be gamed. The system will work as hard as it can to prevent you from figuring it out, and since it's made of people it is at least as intelligent as you are.

The only foolproof way we know of to reduce the number of bullshit jobs is brutal recession, but unfortunately that also takes a ton of fragile but very innovative and promising things down with it. Recession is a bit like extreme chemotherapy. It might kill some cancer cells but it also kills a shitload of healthy ones and sometimes the treatment ultimately fails because it doesn't kill enough of the former to justify the latter.

Similar principles exist in other areas like advertising. There's a saying in the ad business: "I know I'm wasting 80% of my ad spend. I just don't know which 80%."
> n the medical AI field that are getting published on these topics.

Most of what I've seen isn't very promising. The energy in these research areas are because it would be so much cheaper than the "right" way, far more than because of the likelihood of success. And also perversely, because it's hard for the academic researchers to get enough data to do other studies :) NB: I'm not saying there is nothing useful coming out of the learning literature in last few years, just that it a) isn't a silver bullet and b) is often being misapplied in these areas anyway.

Label quality and availability isn't the only big problem though. Many data sets exhibit problematic sampling bias, as well as being order(s) of magnitude too small, because of the way they are gathered and how access is granted.
Yes. A lot of the tech is very interesting, despite all the hype and fluff.
The visual effects team that does the cgi for Spacetime is amazing, and being a fellow brazilian those guys make me really proud.
Oh I agree with that as well. If kiddo sees parents driving drunk all the time, they'll dutifully say you shouldn't do that on the driver ed test then do it anyway. (And it's really broader than parents as there are broader social mores as well.)

I think we're in general agreement. My original point was that making getting a driver's license a leetcode interview-level requirement puts more barriers in place but probably doesn't (by itself) mean you have a lot better drivers on the roads.

To be clear, if you can afford it, a high-end driving course is probably both useful and a lot of fun. Though I wonder if it's more useful for someone who has some experience. (I've never take a course though I have done some driving on BMW's track in SC which was a great experience.)
This is so absurdly trying to make a contentious issue out of a minor change. They are removing the required sonnet writing in an assessment and changing it to an assessment based on a thematic criteria. This is all in a class for creative writing and is giving more freedom. They are not sidelining sonnets all together, they are giving students in a creative writing course the flexibility to be creative.

I'm happy to discuss terms. Over one year I don't see any risk to this bet at all. And it seems the people I'm offering to feel the same way, as they are running away terrified from it.

I offer you the same deal, $5000 USD 1:1 that Tether maintains the peg above $0.98 for the next year averaged at the UTC 00:00 USDT/USD price on Kraken everyday.

We both keep it with an intermediary who invests in something that attempts to maintain a semblance of keeping up with inflation.

One year from now we tally up the score and the correct person wins. You only need a few days of tether collapsing to win this bet.

It's a simple wager that surely makes sense for those with all these strong words and bravado in here.

I am not sure why people bring up the homebrew author's case to justify the argument that "leetcode question = bad intervew question". I mean, I hate many of those leetcode puzzles, but "inverting a binary tree" is not one of them. IMO, this particular question is a good one. It is a simple manipulation on a simple data structure. I think at least a good programmer can probably discuss with the interviewer, take some hints, and write _something_? Instead, that tweet gives me a feeling that he didn't like the question and refused to think at all. Everyone knows that Google asks tricky algorithm questions, did he expect to get some special treatment because he created homebrew?

Homebrew is popular, and is indeed a very successful project, it is just not very well designed. Let me quote the author's own words:

> https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-logic-behind-Google-rejectin...

> I wrote a simple package manager. Anyone could write one. And in fact mine is pretty bad. It doesn't do dependency management properly. It doesn’t handle edge case behavior well. It isn’t well tested. It’s shit frankly.

> Is it any surprise I couldn’t answer their heavily computer-science questions well?

> On the other hand, my software was insanely successful. Why is that? Well the answer is not in the realm of computer science. I have always had a user-experience focus to my software. Homebrew cares about the user.

> it’s surprising how few Java developers with 10+ years of experience have a deep knowledge of the underlying hardware.

What fraction of Java software needs the lowest possible core-to-core latency? Around 0%?

But hey, he's a cool, specialized programmer who knows these things, and need to share this important knowledge with someone. And yet, the article never answers the question it asks. What impact did pinning cores have on their application? 5% improvement? 20% improvement?

I've made performance improvements by manually removing all bounds checks in a hot path. It made about 3% improvement to the total performance. Was it worth it? For my application, sure. Do I think other engineers are dumb because they don't do rigorous bounds check elimination? No.
Old grep is still muscle memory for me, and that’s what I use in scripts.

When you hold Tether, you're taking a risk that your Tethers might not be redeemable in USD. As far as I know, this risk isn't compensated in any way, shape or form.

When you deposit your Tethers somewhere, you're taking an additional risk, namely the risk that you might not get the deposit back. The interest that you get on deposits is compensation for taking that risk, but not for the other risk.
Well, he steals a lot I'd say. One example:
