This isn't the sad part. The sad part is that technical interviews cannot be audited externally so they can ratchet up the difficulty if they don't want you. To my knowledge Google and Microsoft don't do that, but I would not be surprised if other companies who are more tolerant of dark patterns have already started.

Second, after reading that blog post, you just know that there are some poor saps out there who have informed their interviewer: "I've already seen this question before." It breaks my heart that they are (likely) punished for their honesty.
> Does buying the so-called Legendary Gems enhance "winning" or just game playing?

Yes. Look up “gacha games” [0] for the broader category. One very successful and very rich version of this genre is “genshin impact”

> And can "winning" result in a financial reward

In this case, no, not currently. People tend to structure competitive scenes around games without these mechanics but it could be done by the company developing the game. People are playing for the satisfaction of winning rare items or beating other people on a leaderboard.

I raised my eyebrows at the NPR version of this yesterday:

https://www.npr.org/2022/06/04/1103066205/taser-armed-drones...

What happens when some kid breaks the end off a mechanical pencil, attaches a gum band, tapes that sucker up, and starts shooting BBs into the thing like they used to and it crashes onto some teacher's head and kills them[1]?

I don't know if making literal zip guns during recess was a 90s Catholic school thing, but maybe don't do this.

(Especially since I can remember when the teacher's union would shit the bed about sharp scissors or a single non lock blade less than 3 inch Swiss Army knife.)

If you're that scared of your children, maybe you should rethink whether an arms race is the correct solution, especially since traumatized teens end up being anxious adults unsuited to be caregivers.

Yep. I bought a new ergonomic chair and a new 4K monitor last year. My back pain disappeared soon, but my eyes still feel bad sometimes if I work continuously too often, like 4 hours x 2 per day. But if I take some break regularly, they will feel better. Now my configuration of Eye Monitor is working 40 mins with 5 mins break.

> How is it their fault that the developer subgroup has been hijacked by this organization to mean "Anyone who has ever signed the Terms of Service To View Our Code"?

Oh, but hijacking developer subgroups for almost anything is totally kosher in Github. They do it themselves. That's how you get into some of their private betas.
I wouldn’t bet my family on it, but I hope it’s sarcastic.
The model is extremely standard in mobile games, especially in Asia, where it has been the norm for almost a decade in gacha games, and where people are used to paying and gambling. They all have the same mechanics, or variations of them, Diablo doesn't really do anything innovative here, but it certainly is on the aggressive side.

A lot of the outrage comes from the fact that 1. Diablo is originally a PC-based IP with a PC gamer fanbase, and PC gamers are used to different monetization schemes and generally don't play mobile games. Even without the gambling mechanics, there already was a huge backlash about Blizzard making a mobile Diablo game 2. Diablo is a "western" IP where such monetization schemes are less common and the penetration of PC players is higher compared to other parts of the world where mobile game penetration is higher.

> And can "winning" result in a financial reward

Generally speaking, no. There are no competitions for these kind of games. The only way you could cash out would be to sell your account, which is against the ToS, but commonly done nonetheless.

And I paid 110 euros 2 years ago for 16GBs of simple Corsairs DDR4 3200mhz (cl18 iirc) and they were among the cheapest, 32GB was around 200 euros.

My point being that ram prices have been high for the latest years before prices started re adjusting in the last 12 months and that DDR5 currently aren't that expensive.

I'm suffering this right now with an order of lumber from Home Depot. Half the plywood is delaminated and bulging, two thirds of the studs are covered in mold. Talking to customer service, they'll come and pick up returns for free within 90 days - the same as if I merely changed my mind. I guess that means for the next truck order I'll just order vastly more than I need, so they can bring the pick-through-the-lumber-pile experience to my home?

It had never been below freezing that long since we started recording temperature for large parts of Texas. Thus, home designs often don't bother dealing with the question "but what if its freezing cold for days on end?", so there's no consideration to putting a water line on an exterior wall. We even have tankless water heaters mounted in or on the exterior wall with plumbing only protected by a metal plate if even that.

In places where it does regularly get below freezing for long stretches of time they do try and avoid putting water lines on exterior walls specifically for this reason.

"Calling Eli was your serendipity"

He didn't call Eli randomly, he called to research an interview. That's putting the work in.

I've long-neglected ts_block and probably should update the documentation, if nothing else.

Windows Server 2012 R2 removed the IP address from the Event Log entry for failed RDP logons (to be fair, it's really that the just didn't include it in failed RDP logons when the TLS security layer is used-- reverting to the old RDP security layer in Windows Server 2012 R2 restores the IP address). Without doing something dodgy like trying to correlate closed TCP connections to Event Log entries there's no simple way to ascribe IP addresses to failed RDP logons on that version of Windows.

In Windows Server 2016 and 2019 Microsoft put the IP address back into the Event Log entry, restoring ts_block's functionality.
Sounds like a high profile candidate that everyone is looking for!
Permitting new power lines is difficult. Here [0] is an example of a project stalled due to opposition. It is unrealistic to think that someone is going to pay for transmission lines to get built with excess capacity most of the time in case we need to send power from one coast to another. Building power lines is expensive, battery storage is also expensive, so if you want to promote intermittent generation sources far from loads simply add those to the cost when comparing to other sources to make a fair comparison.

People will mostly all charge their vehicles at night, so it won’t be from solar power. Unless the solar has battery storage, in which case we are charging batteries from batteries, which is inefficient.

I’m not sure why you think there is a lot of flexibility in the existing hydro power, there isn’t that much of it and it is often constrained by having to keep rivers flowing or saving water for peaks.

My point about nuclear is that it is competitive in other countries, the problem is that North America can’t competitively build it any more not due to technological problems but political and managerial issues. Imagine global warming could have been avoided by getting really good at building nuclear plants. Look at how much imaginary money has been printed for less catastrophic problems. We could have done it, we still can. Nuclear is uncompetitive because we have somehow made it so here.

a robust grid needs a variety of energy sources, Arguing against any low carbon source is counter productive to me. There is always going to be a need for generation with a characteristic like nuclear power.

Edit: I should also add hydro projects in Canada such as muskrat falls and site C are costing 10-20 billion which I believe is similar to nuclear and also taking a decade to finish.

I expect an actual computing device, not a locked up console, which is what these things are.

A device running on a real OS, in the sense of an actual operating system - the thing that just controls hardware and runs whatever you throw at it, will be found even more useful by your partner as it will stretch far beyond ProCreate.
Gas stoves are an anachronism anyway; good riddance to them.

There has been no better time for electric-only cooking. Air fryers are FAR more energy efficient than ovens, and also cook faster. Sous-vide cookers are cheap and can cook certain dishes to perfection every time. Instant pot style pressure cookers cover most of the rest. And everyone already knows the convenience of microwave ovens.

Unless you're cooking a big roast or bird or cake, most stovetop and oven cooking can be done better with modern tools.
My wife and I have allergies and are poor sleepers, as a result I religiously monitor air quality in several points in the home in order to manage the air. I find CO2 ppm over 1000 provides for headaches and poor sleep. Having a modern well sealed home means you rely a lot on an HRV to exchange the air, but sometimes you need to open the windows.

After all the monitoring for years I can attest that the gas cooktop has a massive influence on poor air quality. The vent hood helps, but does not eliminate CO2. Keeping CO2 under ~700ppm in occupied bedrooms takes some work.

For my next house that I'm building now I've put in induction, will never do gas again. Also supersized the vent hood and HVAC systems.

Indoor air quality is such an unappreciated topic in home construction.

> It will be interesting to see if there's legislation in the future to encourage companies to open up unsupported devices instead of relying on the efforts of enthusiasts to keep them out of e-waste streams.

Especially when paired with their refusal to do security updates in perpetuity.

If we want to be "green", you want people to re-use these devices a long time, especially since China has control of the rare earth mineral rights to make new ones.
If you want to clean your kitchen countertop for food safety reason, you will never beat bleach. It’s cheap. It dries forming salt and water. It kills bacteria.

It doesn’t need to be like this, but that’s what her family chose. One model isn’t superior over the other. It would be great if tech companies supported both family styles, just like they tout their other family-friendly benefits.

Who said anything about perf? @yegle said it was a common pattern and asked for alternatives.

> it should absolutely never take more than a few milliseconds

Why? It surely depends on your use case (highest possible perf is different for many dupes vs few dupes, for example). And a few milliseconds is lower than a human's ability to respond, so doesn't matter for interactive use, it can only matter in batch scenarios.

sort | uniq | sort -nr takes ~300ms on a file of 10k lines of random data that is 0.5MB on my 10 year old mac. It's ~60ms on 2k lines. It's faster on a newer computer, and unless you're doing this a thousand times in a row, there's next to no difference between 3 ms or 300ms to me in an interactive shell...

BTW, what is the alternative? Are you assuming I write something high performance, spend my time figuring it out? Or is there a higher performance sort|uniq already available?
I support HS2 but as an alternative to more road building. Unfortunately the government seems to have chosen both!

Personal experience: my laptop (older Dell) has gotten so much quieter and cooler since switching over to Linux from Windows. I don't really have anything against Windows, and their WSL2 is pretty great and allowed me to learn the bash command line and run Linux programs in that environment, but the fans were always humming and telemetry was nonstop and massive updates were nonstop (granted I signed up for the Insider Ring thing so perhaps it's not surprising). I actually wonder if I had some crypto-mining malware running or something like that. After wiping the drive, flashing the BIOS and doing a Debian install my computer is almost always cool and quiet and I don't use it any more or less than I did before.

Also while code bloat seems endemic in web development, the embedded world still relies on compact efficient code written in languages like C, so a lot of people are still learning to program in that style, which is a good thing.

> So far, I got rejected from over twenty job opportunities.

That's nothing. I've been continuously employed for over 20 years. I just got a job a few weeks ago after two months of unemployment. I kept a record of every application and in the end there were more than 130 of them. I ended up with several offers and got a great job but I had far more than 20 rejections for every offer I received and I consider that a very good result for the outcome I had and wouldn't refer to it as "a slap in the face".

If you take N years off from a career, you should expect ahead of time to become a less compelling candidate to hire for highly skilled work. 1) your skills are assumed rustier and 2) you have fewer years left in your career so you have less room for promotion to executive levels (big companies need to be thinking about hiring their CEO 20 years from now). If you don’t want this to happen to your career, 1) get better at something that can be objectively measured or 2) don’t take N years off from your career.
Start consuming an oral hyluronic acid pill twice a day. This should be the very first line treatment for dry eyes.

Then try out a lid cleaning regime.

To help and protect your insufficient eyes, take as many preservative free drops as you can. Never use eye drops with preservatives.

Also, apply occulsr vitamin A+E healing ointment all over the outside of your eyes before sleep.

If you do all this I guarantee you your dry eyes will be better in a few days.
If an off the shelf kettle is popping a circuit breaker in your house (absent some other load on the circuit), there’s a reasonable chance that’s a fire waiting to happen in a faulty wiring connection somewhere.
They will turn into exactly what they have to be turned into. A generation of people who obediently listen to authority without question, one used to being surveilled at all times, controlled at all times, getting directions rather than setting them. And that's the important part for the current generation of leaders.

And it's not that such a drone would literally be effective against unruly students but because it will normalize the idea of pervasive surveillance, the students will internalize that it's absolutely normal and inescapable to be controlled and have all rules enforced on them at all times.

They will get the occasional "bread and circus", they will be sold the illusion that they have freedoms, democracy, rights, and when those are routinely taken away from some people, none of the others will object because of all the points above.
It's coaxing people into no longer reproducing based on their financial status at the time. Explain why that's a good thing.
It’s probably pretty close to a wash. A gas stove is about 40% efficient.

A good combined cycle has power plant is about 60%, transmission is about 90%, and an induction stove is about 85%. That gives a net efficiency of 46%.
> IMO Cloud-Native is when a cloud manages everything for you.

To me, cloud-native is a broad term applied to infrastructure and applications designed with the cloud principles (automation, declarative, scale, integration, developer friendly). It is safe to say that lot of these principles were first released and marketed by AWS. And the ecosystem learned from it.

Kubernetes is cloud-native because it is built with all those principles. And it an orchestrator for micro-services where are the building blocks of a cloud-native application.
>Firstly, more capacity is needed on the rail network and this is a key arterial route that is already running at/over capacity.

I always found it bizarre that most of the press around HS2 never really mentions the capacity issues of the West Coast Main Line.

Most people will ask "why spend £100 bn to shave 30 mins off London - Birmingham, can't you just upgrade the existing lines?", which IMO is a fair question to ask. They need to do a better job of explaining why it's not practical to upgrade the WCML & why building a new line is the better long term solution.
Can you share some of that data? It seems pretty obvious that burning gas is far worse for indoor air quality than a magnet. Even if there's options to mitigate the danger, they won't always be available or users may just forget to take them. An induction stove is foolproof.

And I think your point about particulates from actual cooking is probably true too. I think any high heat cooking or deep frying should be done outside if you don't have a powerful vent.
