> You seem to be suggesting something totally unfalsifiable - that candidates who do a bad job aren't actually bad programmers, but are just nervous inside in undetectable ways.

Heh. It's only unfalsifiable if you ignore a person's previous experience and accomplishments, refusing to acknowledge anything other than your own interview as an accurate gauge of the person's skills.

Also, I'm literally telling you that it happens to me. (And I've heard many people say it happens to them.) So either I'm a liar, or you have to admit that it happens. Go ahead and call me a liar if that's what you want to believe, but I'm not even trying to get a job anymore. I'm happily self-employed now, and my customers also seem very happy with my coding skills.

The term "control your emotions" is somewhat vague. You can hide your emotions, but that doesn't mean you're not experiencing the emotions. An extreme example of that is if you "put on a brave face" after a personal tragedy. You may not cry and break down, but that doesn't mean the sadness doesn't affect you severely. The reason I mentioned therapy is that you'd probably need therapy in order to somehow train yourself to not even feel the emotions in the first place in situations where they arise automatically for you, i.e., to not have certain phobias at all.

> the sort of issues I'd associate with nervousness

Have you considered that you might not have a full understanding and appreciation for human psychology and the wide variance among humans?
You're rejecting the idea that we can analyze a specific action/edict of government to see if it makes things worse or better. Such a paradigm guarantees that things can only get worse, as the only successful changes will be ones that enrich some well funded interest (ie corruption / regulatory capture).

> Every complexity the state forces into a transaction

I do not see how publishing a guide of public legal advice is adding complexity, regulatory or otherwise, for either party. If you would like to make a specific argument of how it is, please do so.

> I've never once heard people from California praising their state for making renting better. I've heard the exact opposite many times over.

There are incentives to spread the negative/political messages, whereas the gains from repeating helpful individual-empowering advice are diffuse.

This makes sense from the company perspective, but gaps still shouldn't bother candidates because there are many thousands of companies in the world. Since companies give no feedback on an initial rejection, you can't even see how often you're being rejected for gaps vs. other things, so it's not even worth worrying about.
The M1 MacBook air has been on sale for $799 several times.

"shitty hardware" ???

I am not aware of any PC laptop that comes close to the build quality of a MacBook Air for less.

"SSD soldered to motherboard, bad cooling, no touchscreen, broken keyboard, no way to replace battery..."

SSD soldered: It is a bit disappointing, but Apple ships the fastest SSD's in the industry.

Bad cooling: The MacBook air is passively cooled and nobody ever has complained about the M1 Air's cooling.

No touchscreen: I don't care about this.

Broken keyboard: Not an issue on the 2020+ MacBooks

Battery: The MacBook air has best in class battery life. iFixit sells replacement batteries for older MacBooks, It is likely they will sell replacement batteries for the M1 Airs as well.
Thats why you have to wait for a month if you want do know how much you owe them? :D

Wow! Give yourself some credit, you're doing great friend, holding down all those systems, that's a very hard job!

From personal experience, I haven't written any libraries or frameworks and I'm definitely a like 40th-50th percentile coder at best. But I do have family, friends, hobbies, outdoor recreation, exercise, and meaningful contemplation in my life.

This means that though I'm not shreking code 24/7, I have all these wonderful things to recharge my batteries. When I do sit down at work for those 30-40 hours, I get what I need to done, not worrying if it's via stack overflow, copy-pasta, or any method.

And that's totally fine, you don't need to re-invent the wheel or be a wunderkind, just be yourself and take AMPLE time to do things you love outside of work.

> If I phone a service provider, they tell me calls are recorded for training and monitoring purposes

Yes. If you're recording a call and it says "Your calls may be recorded" from their end that would be an open and shut argument that they've given permission for you to record the call.

> I was very impressed that this company so effectively neutered all staff that had any contact with customers.

I'm fascinated by the separation of them who do something (the company's employees), them who run it (i.e. who tell said employees how to work), AND them who actually own the company.

It's been mind-blowing to me how for all large-enough companies, the people who own it have no say at all in how it's run. and the people who run it (the managers or "executives"/bureaucrats who curiously do not actually peform the productivity-creating labor) cannot be really held liable for what the company does for it's only their job, the owners are liable, but they have no say (nor interest really) in how it's run, they just want them dividends/rent.

in this scenario, the giant multinational corporations are essentially skynet; i.e. rogue, unaccountable/never liable group of autonomous entities made mostly out of money.

Sometimes I like to imagine that on some level of companies who own other companies, there already exist groups of companies that own each other, such that if you followed the trail of ownership you'd go around a cycle.
I expect we'll overbuild renewables to handle the high demand season and then dump excess renewables in the low demand season. I've seen this result in a couple cost optimization models like [0]. Optimistically, we might see demand react to the seasonal price differences and readjust via e.g. weatherization, or running industrial load seasonally.

But yeah, seasonal storage makes my head hurt. Getting 1 cycle a year out of technology built to deliver 2,000 or more cycles seems like a huge waste. The idea of financing a project to pay back over 2000 years is bizarre. Of course the hardware would fail for other reasons over that period. Hell, the concrete it's resting on would probably crumble in 100.

We'll see how that goes when their oil exports drop from 7.8M to 4.3M - and their natural gas exports decline similarly.

That's ~15% of the economy.

Russia itself is predicting that the unemployment rate will double to 9%. That's about the highest unemployment has gone in Western countries at the absolute peak of recessions.

The idea that the Russian economy is doing well or better than pre-war is absurd.

There's more to an economy than the value of your currency which governments and central banks have a lot of power to easily manipulate.
Of course it's not obvious, that's why it's a "problem".

The assumption is apparently[0] 30 kWh/day counting as "full usage," giving 3 days of runtime. Rationing that can give you up to 10 days, implying 9 kWh/day.

I have a full electric house in central Texas, and my daily usage in the summer is around 2000 kWh, so I could get about 1.5 days of power if I did nothing to ration it. If you have a gas water heater, stove, dryer, etc. it'll obviously stretch out.

Formula at the bullet point 7
True. I guess it's the slightly enhanced version of the M1 Air. Additional connectivity, touchbar and a fan for sustained loads. If that's not required, might as well save the $400 and buy an Air as they're the same in all other aspects.

In my country the best grants tend to have acceptance rates in the 10%-20% range. There are other grants with around 50% rate but they are barely enough to not outright close a lab (you're lucky if you can get 30K/year from those, per research group, not per person). There are no grants that I know of with a 90% acceptance rate.

And even if you compete for a 50% acceptance rate, which is relatively "easy", you are competing with another academics and the majority of them work on weekends.
“10x” is something you do, not who you are.

If you’re interacting with someone who is self-described as “10x”, you’re almost certainly talking to an asshole, and a lot of their time will be all about gorilla chest-thumping and establishing their 10x-ness.

My comment about too much vs. too little information includes the bullet points outlining what the presenter said. For example, here's the entire slide on Adaptability:

"Adaptability"

> 1. Must be adaptable. “It is not the strongest of the species that survive,
nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”

It's too much information in some cases, that we assume will be verbally given (and then later members of the audience are expected to cross reference to dig deeper on), mixed with filler.
Amusingly enough, Schwarzenegger's Austrian accent is the German version of a hillbilly accent or something, so in German dubs of his movies, they use a different voice actor. I'm told Germans think watching his movies in English is weird because his voice is "wrong".
> Gummy Bears are a bit boring and bland compared to the other sweets available.

Oh this is absolutely true, even limited to candy with gummy textures there are so many good options -- Trolli worms, Starburst gummies, Sour Patch, Nerds clusters, Mike & Ike, Sweetarts gummies.

The thing these all pretty much have in common is incorporating a more sour/acidic taste to varying degrees so that is probably a turn-off for some but it's hard to argue with the result being incredibly flavorful.
Yup, I second this. I took almost a year off to work on a personal project and drive GrubHub to make rent. Had no problem getting interviews and hired after a few weeks of looking.

Not every industry is like this, but tech has little reason to care. If anything, employees with more life experience are a benefit to the employer.
In my experience (in several US states) it has never been "offered to sell me." It has been "the seller is including a home warranty [whether you want it or not]." One time I tried turning it down, and was basically told "well, we'd have to go back to the drawing board on the offer if you do that. Just take it. Everyone takes it." And similarly when selling a house "I don't want to include a home warranty" was met with "all other sellers include it, so if you don't, you're going to look bad." For the cost of these warranties I can't imagine that the agents are getting that much of a kickback, especially compared to the commission they make on the sale, but something is clearly going on.
> A nine kilowatt electric generator costs under a thousand dollars.

For just the generator, yeah.

Then you need cans for the fuel and somewhere to store it. And you need to maintain that fuel by periodically pouring it into a vehicle and refilling the cans. Even with preservative, it's good to do that yearly. If you don't own an ICE vehicle, I guess you have to find a neighbor who does, and who won't be suspicious that you're offering them a bunch of gallons of free gas?

And even with all that, it still needs oil changes and test-runs, or it's liable to not work when you need it.

And even with all THAT, most generators that large absolutely guzzle fuel. Ten or twenty gallons might get you a day, maybe two? And that's a LOT of fuel to store, when you consider having to refresh it.

If you can just use the vehicle you already own, and the battery pack that you already charge, ALL those concerns go away. You've got tons of power. It's already proven to work. It's already wired into the house. And the little maintenance it needs, you're already doing because it's your daily driver.

This approach is not without its downsides -- if you go out to run errands, the house loses power until you return -- but the benefits may outweigh that for a large number of people.
I have nothing useful to add. But I just have to say Squash players from your country are awesome
That project looks very cool - definitely a good starting point if you want to achieve this as a proof-of-concept at least, as that project looks very advanced & mature.

I didn't say it wasn't possible. It's just going to be inefficient, high-maintenance and have a steep learning curve.

> + the entirety of the python ecosystem

Worth noting: you would only be able to use "self-contained" or "pure" libraries from the python ecosystem; any Python-only APIs in use for IO won't translate to a browser environment (or will need explicit re-implementation to map them to something different).

It's essentially about learning the difference between IO API surface (DOM/W3C web APIs -vs- Python File IO/networking/etc.) and language syntax (PEP vs ECMA). Syntax translation is the (relatively) easy part - API mapping is a massive moving target, as well as an added learning curve for programmers using your system.

That you can disable in System Preferences. On Windows Home, for example, updates cannot be disabled, and the OS will install them even if this means ruining everything you're doing.

I fully agree. Other than Preview, there's absolutely nothing about macOS that I miss when I'm not using it, and I used to be a so-called "Mac" person. It's just a collection of compromises between a high-level OS and a Linux-like and a desktop OS and iOS. It is a massive pain, even with Homebrew, to get a development environment that just works and continues to just work. Every macOS update is a game of Russian roulette.

On Windows, my development environment is seamless. With WSL, I get an actual Linux distribution. And to be honest, Windows just has a lot less friction than macOS these days. You don't have to jump through all sorts of hoops to actually use your computer.

One example of the inanity of macOS and Apple is that in using an external monitor, macOS or the Macbook Pro is incapable of adjusting the brightness and even volume (!) of the external monitor. It's not that the keys don't work. It's that you just simply cannot do it even from the OS. It's absolutely insane people consider Apple the more simple solution. And oh yea, basically every day, my mouse and keyboard settings change or reset or stop working. The exact same setup works flawlessly with my home Windows 11 PC. I setup things, and they stay that way. Updates do not break my computer or reset settings. Applications work. And Windows 11, for whatever reason, does not hog as much RAM as macOS does.
A 1 ton gas car is going to pollute far far more than a 3 ton EV charged from the average American electricity mix, and that mix is not particularly clean, even.

This reads like a grown-up version of "dog ate my homework" - excuses for why an engineer can't be more productive. "Reading and updating docs" is probably the most obvious signal of an low-productivity individual, as is anyone boldly extolling the virtues of "willing and able to collaborate with others" like they've just discovered sliced bread. Strong engineers and leaders do all of the stuff listed here and much more - all without begging for credit or usually even awareness they're being "extra" productive.
> Why would an employer care whether I took time off to pursue other things otherwise?

Let me start off saying I dont agree with this logical fallacy. So don't downvote me if you don't like that some employers think this way.

I think many interviewers/managers worry that a gap in resume is actually you got fired and then spent months looking for a new role (possibly this one). Or that you started at a company and then left within a month or two.

I guess the belief is an employee who gets fired ought to be red lettered and too big a risk to employ ever again? (fallacy)

Now starting at a company and leaving early could be a red flag on the employee in that they agreed to do something and then didnt follow through. But it could just as easily be that the company really misrepresented themselves during the interviewing process and lo and behold it's actually a shit show once you start working for them.
