'class' is a first class concept in the JVM. You can't really argue that it isn't by saying it's not in the layer below the JVM or the the fact a layer above it can hide it from you. You can't have a JVM without classes.
DuckDuckGo CEO put a response on r/technology: https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/uxiah9/duckduck.... In it he claims there aren't viable alternatives.

Here's a quote from the relevant part: "While a lot of what you see on our results page privately incorporates content from other sources, including our own indexes (e.g., Wikipedia, Local listings, Sports, etc.), we source most of our traditional links and images privately from Bing (though because of other search technology our link and image results still may look different). Really only two companies (Google and Microsoft) have a high-quality global web link index (because I believe it costs upwards of a billion dollars a year to do), and so literally every other global search engine needs to bootstrap with one or both of them to provide a mainstream search product. The same is true for maps btw -- only the biggest companies can similarly afford to put satellites up and send ground cars to take streetview pictures of every neighborhood."
Such a short sighted comment, no, it would be best to have an efficient system where excess food could either be stored or delivered to those with food insecurities.
Besides Khan Academy (which is excellent) and other online resources, I would buy text books, and then do everything in the textbook. I mean everything. Read everything in the chapter, work through every example problem, do every practice exercise. Do not skip ahead, or assume you understand without actually doing. And find someone who can answer your questions. I don't like asking for help, but that's held me back. If you have to, pay someone.

I prefer hardbound textbooks, because computers are a big source of distraction. But there are also lots of generally very good free and open-source textbooks you can find online.
In my 25 years as a developer I have been sitting on both ends of a coding interview a good number of times. One thing I find coding interviews helpful for is to weed out people that apply for a specific job description (e.g. "looking for experienced python developer", who's resume shows 7 years of recent python experience, but that during a simple coding test have problems getting the syntax right.
LOL. The article says that to fix the issue we need some international efforts and blah blah blah. Bullshit. All we need is to sink down russian ships in Black sea. Even better will be to help with the liberation of both Kherson and Crimea regions. Zaporizhzhya and Donbas can be liberated later, but Bastion rockets in Crimea endanger ports in Odesa and Yuzhne.

This is the easiest way to provide food to emerging markets.
By the way, there are chemical (fertilizer) plants in Ukraine. Today they are not working or occupied. One in Yuzhne is intact, but shut down temporarily.
There's also Sumykhimprom plant in Sumy, that's right on the border with russia. The plant is intact, but I think it's not working as well due to war.

If we chase russians off from Ukraine, food prices will return to normal.
Why would you consider prediction based on dynamic conditions to be the sign of a dystopian optimization cycle? Isn’t it mostly intuitive that interesting program executions are not going to be things you can determine statically (otherwise your compiler would have cleaned them up for you with inlining etc.), or could be determined statically but at too great cost to meet execution deadlines (JiTs and so on), or resource constraints (you don’t really want N code clones specialising each branch backtrace to create strictly predictable chains).

Or is the worry on the other side; that processors have gotten so out-of-order that only huge dedication to guesswork can keep the beast sated? I don’t see this as a million miles from software techniques in JiT compilers to optimistically optimize and later de-deoptimize when an assumption proves wrong.

I think you might be right to be nervous if you wrote programs that took fairly regular data and did fairly regular things to it. But, as Itanium learned the hard way, programs have much more dynamic, emergent and interesting behaviour than that!
If nothing else, you can spend nearly all of the time working. No "please stow away your large electronic devices" 20+ minutes before takeoff/landing.
It would be irrational to expect a durable lower price on graviton. Amazon will price it lower initially to entice customers to port their apps, but after they get a critical mass of demand the price will rise to a steady state where it costs the same as Intel. The only difference will be which guy is taking your money.
As Russia has shown us if you have a corrupt structure all the way down, no amount of money will make a stable, competitive nation.
Not mentioned yet, is the Pisound together with a raspberry pi. Fast boot and good hardware in general, for the price. Haven't run any daws with it though, only Patchbox OS (which is made by the same people that makes the Pisound, who also makes the Midihub which is a core staple in my home studio: Blokas):

- https://blokas.io/pisound/ - €99 - Pisound is an ultra-low latency high-quality sound card and MIDI interface specially designed for Raspberry Pi pocket computers.

- https://blokas.io/patchbox-os/ - Free - Patchbox OS is a custom Linux distribution specially designed for Raspberry Pi based audio projects. It comes pre-configured for low latency audio performance and pre-installed audio software that will help you get started with your projects in no time!

I'm not affiliated with Blokas, just a very happy user of Midihub.
I'm sorry but this is a misinterpretation of the degrowth thesis. The proponents behind degrowth (i.e Hickels, Kallis) are constantly correcting this misinterpretation. Degrowth stipulates that the global south actually needs to continue to grow to reach important indicators associated to the quality of life of their citizens.

According to them, the actual "degrowth" has to happen in the global north where economies are over-saturated [0]:

> We live in a world where poverty remains and those with unmet needs require more resources to satisfy them. We also live in an ecologically-constrained world struggling to cut emissions as fast as possible. In that context, by reducing consumption in the global North (and more generally for all of those who are over-consuming), one could free some of these resources for the people who need it the most. Ensuring basic needs and well-being for all necessarily implies limiting consumption in high-income regions and wealthy households in order to enable resource-poor countries and households to reach decent standards of living. In other words, degrowth in the global North is a prerequisite for sustainable development in the global South.

> Snitching on your classmates is almost universally considered a bad thing to do here, and we would never demand that students do that, not only due to the fear of retaliation mentioned in the post, because... it's just not right, they're your classmates!

Why exactly is it "not right"?

I agree that the student should be compelled to police their peers. Both because everyone should be allowed to decide for themselves if they want to take the risk reprisals, and also because it may create perverse incentives.

But I don't accept that it's "not right". College is a golden opportunity for young people to participate in building the kind of society they want to spend the rest of their lives living in. Do they want one where corruption and other injustices are exposed in the open, or one where they are swept under the rug and allowed to perpetuate themselves?

A quick cheat or bribe for a shortcut to meet your goal feels good when you can get away with it, but how will it feel down the line when you're the one who have fallen victim and nobody will speak on your behalf? Because this is the precedent you're setting for your students here.

Depends on the interviewer I guess. Some people will be adamant to use the stdlib as much as possible because they have a war story of how something went terribly wrong by not using the stdlib, others will insist that the stdlib is rubbish because they have a war story of how something went terribly wrong by relying on the stdlib.

The problem is that both are right.

(but jokes aside, I guess that the interviewer is more interested in your ability to solve a problem from scratch instead of you ability to google for an existing solution - even if googling makes a lot of sense in the real world)

And yet correlation is not causation. And a survivor bias is probably in play here. There are so many more factors contributing to the quality of FAANG work and their performance as businesses. Hell, most of them due to their monopoly-like status could easily use any hiring technique and still rake in tons of $$$.
To me the streamlined / cargo cult hiring process seems much more a symptoms of the bureaucratization of these large companies than an actual key to their success.
I worked for a "small" 60 people biotech/oncology company which were continually in the negative, financially speaking. The company existed like this for 20 years, selling potential drug candidates for hundreds of millions (DKK). The idea behind the company was so good that investors kept it alive and it was then bought for billions (DKK) by a big American biotech company.
The Strong Towns thesis is that there are a lot of ways for things to "look" fine when things are not actually fine.

As an example, municipalities often count physical infrastructure like streets and water pipes as an asset on their books[1], even though it is illiquid and incurs large long-term liabilities.

Side-related note: You'll get there (actual DL), because your "want" is close enough to determination (as opposed to mere motivation, i.e. conscious decision versus mere fleeting feelings).

On academia and grades: yes, it's a "dark time" (as in "Dark Ages" for what we mean by it, regardless of the veracity of that historical perception). I often summarize all those collective F-ups by remarking that most people, either individually or collectively as institutions, have lost their purpose, they "have no mission in life" so to speak. Thus, we lose sight of the endgame, of the actual purpose of education for instance.

That's not about to change if the now widespread intuition that most institutions have been rotting too much for too long is true, so the solution might be some historical disruption of the domain — I think Khan was an early ripple in those foundations.

You're so hung up on Austin, which isn't at all relevant to this conversation. Austin has nearly an order of magnitude more people than even the largest towns under discussion here. Austin has a median income 40% higher and median home price 160% (!) higher. If anyone is cherry-picking it's the person who, when talking about typical cities in the US, picks an internationally-known large city instead of something actually representative.

I’ll be honest: I feel somewhat vindicated due my own personal struggles with the open office[0] and people arguing for the status quo on hacker news[1].

I am extremely sad at the extreme loss of life and horrible conditions caused by the pandemic. So I feel exceedingly guilty for feeling glad that an upside of it is that we can finally do away with this horrible practice of crushing everyone together so the managers can marvel at their panopticon.

(I've subscribed to Factor75 and am generally pleased with them)

Yes, the food seems a bit pricy... until I head out and eat at a restaurant. Its certainly more costly than raw ingredients and making it yourself - but in terms of "the cost vs eating out" it is rather competitive.

I'm also become a fan of Tovala ( https://www.tovala.com ). Their thing is that its a "smart toaster oven" which scans a barcode or QR code and can do a complex set of instructions at programmed times. The oven is substantially discounted, the menu is competitive with other prepared meals but its cooked rather than microwaved which provides a different set of food options. The preparation is "cut bag into aluminum tin" and "add sauce or seasoning". You then scan the QR code on the recipe and it does its thing for 15 to 20 minutes.

I don't live where Amazon has this as an option, but https://www.amazon.com/fmc/m/20190165?almBrandId=QW1hem9uIEZ... is something to look at too.

The primary advantage for me with both Factor and Tovala is that they have single serving sizes. Blue Apron appears to have added microwave meals to its menu... but its not quite the range of Factor and its non-microwave is still 2 or 4 with more meal prep than Tovala.

my issue is with it being named INT_1. If it were a constant with some meaning, I'd be accepting of it.

As is, the only way I'd approve of it is if it was required to have the value be addressable. I'm not sure how often of a concern that is in java, but in Go for example, from ~1.3 to somewhat recently sticking an integer in a interface would cause a small allocation to hold the integer. By having it stored as a variable (you can't take the address of a constant in go) one could elide the allocation by storing the address of the variable in the interface instead of it's value. Of course now go will automatically do that for small values (N < 256).

That's a pretty niche use, but it does exist. I'll assume it's not novel, and there are other, perhaps similar use cases for having a symbol instead of using the literal.

wrt https: Yeah, it should be in muscle memory, but humans make mistakes, fat fingering is a thing. Using a symbol can give you a compilation time check. Of course, you may typo the symbol and have the exact same problem. The ability to compare by address actually applies more to strings though, since you can check the address & length for equality rather than having to do a full comparison of the string. This may or may not be an issue in any given language/implementation based on a variety of reasons (string interning, multiple definitions of a literal due to runtime/dynamic loading).
I'm halfway through "The Dawn of Everything" to understand the reference on heterodoxy associated to Graeber and Wengrow. What sort of pushback are you seeing?
Soyuz can put ~7000kg in low earth orbit. Falcon 9 can put ~22000kg into the same.

Falcon 9's $67m price per launch is just what SpaceX charges. They need to undercut the rest of the market but once they get below everyone else's cost per kg there is absolutely no reason for them to charge less until there is real competition someday.

What I'm saying is that for SpaceX themselves it costs much less than $67m per launch.
And the comparison to soyuz is a joke. Even ignoring that you can't get a soyuz launch anymore since about 3 months ago. Western payloads in Baikonur were taken hostage / outright stolen, and new rockets are not being shipped to French Guiana.

Track maintenance is expensive because you need to buy tracks, signalling systems, and railroad switches, and pay the people to install, check, and maintain them. Air is already there and requires no maintenance.
O_DIRECT doesn't provide power-cut durability on storage devices with write cache.

Recently written and acknowledged data can still be lost on a power cut.

You still need fsync, fdatasync or equivalent after an O_DIRECT write, to tell the storage device to commit its write cache to the non-volatile layer.

(And last time I looked, I think some filesystems even incorrectly failed to flush the device write cache on fsync after O_DIRECT writes because of no dirty page states.)
i didn't get you comment. My question is is there a service that notifies new software updates like chrome, OS, docker etc so that users don't have to check them regularly.
That’s not a fair characterization of how most companies (well, at least FAANG) do algorithmic interviews.

A good algorithmic interview does not test algorithm trivia. The question should be solvable with only strong structured thinking and fundamentals.

For example, the much-derided “reverse a binary tree” question (I don’t ask it but I think it’s reasonable) doesn’t really require a ton of algorithm trivia. The data structure can be explained in a few minutes and the problem definition can be made super clear and crisp.

While I appreciate this response from the CEO, I still think that he and DDG lack creativity. Again it is not about actually replacing Bing but having leverage on Microsoft. DDG pays Microsoft a whole lot of money I imagine for that search, so it shouldn’t take much for them keep their promises on privacy.

In fact the way I read this, I just see someone who is essentially saying they’d rather have good search results if it means sacrificing privacy.
Agree. In the US today...

A 16 year old can be licenced to drive a car which is a potentially deadly killing machine.

A 17 year old can join the US Military today, use firearms, fight and die for their country and if needed; kill their own countrymen if politicians deem some citizens are a threat.

An 18 year old can vote and determine who should run the country then they go back to watching TickTok 24/7.

A 17 year old cannot have a beer.

There is something wrong with all of that, today driving a car, voting and entering the military should all be the age that is required to legally buy a beer.
