We should, if we can. I'm just not holding my breath.

I think copyright should be abolished but the trillion dollar companies that depend on it will never allow that to happen. So we're better off de facto abolishing it by making copyright unenforceable and eliminating consequences for copyright infringement.

I think advertising should be illegal but companies like Google will never let that happen. So I use software like uBlock Origin to block ads whenever I can.
I've been putting off replying until at a desk but that's not worked out.

What used to be
struct {
atomic_uint64_t count;
uint32_t X;
uint32_t Y;
void * Z;
};
is now a uint64_t[4] with bytewise copies to get the void* back and intrinsics for the atomic operations.

Functions all take a uint64_t* so the array length is discarded. Means some functions can take a pointer to the refcount field and others to the first data field for when there is no refcount involved.

uint64_t has no magic aliasing properties, but pointers and doubles can be memcpy'd into it, and things like uint64_t data[2048] in .rodata can have whatever set of objects one likes embedded in it. Slightly sketchy is casting addresses directly to uint64_t instead of memcpy but clang does not yet mangle code doing that. Will change static data to asm when it does.

This makes writing correct C moderately harder but has the redeeming feature that type based alias analysis is no longer a hazard.

Ok, so how are interviews fair at all then? How do they really tell anything about the person, other than the fact they are good at interviews? How is it fair that all the other people queued up to interview didn’t get a shot because they didn’t do as well in a 5 minute high pressure period? This 5 minutes probably determined the courses of their lives. What the fuck? Does anyone feel as flabbergasted about interviews and tests? I just cannot do them, I need time and space to think.

It's not just the amount of money they try to get people to spend, it's some really obnoxious tactics, like NPCs telling you they "don't run a charity" (i.e. steering you into spending real money) and paid bonuses that you lose if you don't login daily (as opposed to free ones in most other games).
I am subscribed to the mailing list used to discuss development of the Django project. This is a very frequent occurrence. There is a constant stream of wannabe contributors that feel somehow inclined or compelled to ask the mailing list for a primer on contribution instead of reading the myriad disclaimers and existing documentation. It’s often obvious that they’re incredibly green behind the ears and barely know what Python or Django are, let alone how to use it. I personally find the combination of hubris and dishonesty jarring, though I appreciate that at the core of it is a cultural difference that I just don’t understand.
I think you're not seeing the actual point. The review isn't solving the issue. If you have two branches with alternating environments and you switch back and forth between them, how do you suppose your Dockerfile would handle it? What if that change isn't as simple as switching the Ruby version, but "compile and install some software" or some obscure config changes? I mean, it would be breaking all of the time, you'd end up having two containers anyway and you'd be scratching your head as to how to switch between them easily.
This is, honestly, why I'm focusing my children on Nintendo products. They do sometimes charge for skins, but by and large they don't succumb to the same "pay me to play" traps as other platforms.
We could charge for broken bones regardless of sports, there’s no reason for a person to break a bone under usual living conditions.
The association you're probably looking for is the board of professional engineers that many here want nothing to do with.
So,based on reading the article; you'll see that to arrive at the solution the writer:

* Communicated with a colleague (communications/interpersonal networking)
* Thought hard about it (applying previous knowledge and experience)
* Looked up and found relevant information (knowing where to look)
* Combined the above to come to a solution. (and had the skill to put it together)

By coincidence the practice practice question was also the one that was asked at the interview. If the interviewers had asked a different question, similar steps would have needed to be applied[1].

The question itself was an obvious practice question. There are many decent answers to the problem. What they were looking for were the knowledge, skills and experience that needed to be applied in the process of solving the problem. The point was to see if the candidate had those abilities.

I'm fine with using a practice question for this. A real world problem often involves a lot of real world noise, which makes it impossible to efficiently resolve within the constraints of a 60 minute chat.

I am -however- fully open to an argument that perhaps some form of Goodhart's Law ("When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure") may have struck again.

[1] Perhaps not the exact same set of skills, given the constraints of the interview setting. One COULD argue that the interviewers accidentally picked up on more than they were looking for.
Ooops.... "So Reddit, can you please give me some feedback on this?" cough-cough.... uhmm you might want to proofread things, especially when cutting and pasting.

I'm wondering the same. D3 was seasonal grinds, and this new game seems to capture the same season grind. So far at least, it looks like paying lessens the grind, but rift grinding is what Diablo has been about for years.

Buildah is the way for scripting your containers. Like most/all Red Hat products, a best practice solution was invented for dealing with the pains of some-Docker-thing and you get big corporate backing so you don't need to worry about deprecation or a single dev jumping ship.

I believe that the attention he is seeking is simply marketing. Almost all of his content revolves around hiring and working in tech, which is the core focus of his business. The overall trend is, "I've seen the bad, and built something better, so check us out."

As unethical as the hundreds of interviewers who pretend to believe that the candidate in front of them, just somehow managed to find within minutes the solution to some programming puzzle, and not through hundreds of hours of mentoring and self-practice.

I would propose to change coding interviews to the following scheme:

Step 1:

Interviewer ask a coding question. If candidate is able
to answer correctly then move to Step 2

Step 2:

Candidate asks a coding question from Interviewer.
If Interviewer answers correctly go back to Step 1.
If Interviewer is not able to answer correctly
in 60 min, and Candidate is able to explain solution
and implementation, move to Step 3

Step 3:

Interview is over and Candidate automatically
qualifies for next hiring phase.
I suppose it's a bit of a first world problem to be able to spend 100K on a game. But I'm not sure why this isn't a legitimate problem for people in "first world" countries. Why shouldn't be allowing companies to capitalise on people's addictions. I'm not sure why the existence of people who have it even worse off should compel us to do what we can to prevent people from not ruining their lives.
I'm sure you know there are other ways. Android phone emulator on a PC and scripting the mouse is one of the easiest. However I'm incredibly impressed that you used a software/hardware solution.

> an employer to set health-related mandates

It's funny you say that within the context of an airline. Where pilot and air staff's health is under extreme scrutiny because they need to be in good condition, otherwise people could die when things go south. They probably enforce vaccines for yellow fever and similar for pilots flying to countries impacted to those diseases, why is it any different for COVID-19?
> It is so sad that "make good game, sell it" model no longer works. It's all a wonky curve of "free - couple of dollars - hundreds and thousands of dollars".

I think the assumption that another model was even considered is what people are getting wrong. The game was made explicitly and intentionally for this p2w / gamble business model. There was never an attempt to make it anything else. Blizzard lent their IP to make a cash grab. They’re milking their IP while they can, and monitoring both back lash and revenue, and will be repeating it.
Going forward, I feel like the best ideas will come from small niches in specific verticals. Think specific problems in insurance, or real estate that require lots of domain expertise that your average developer has no inkling about.

I think that's down to the problem you're trying to solve. Much like SSH brute force, if you know the only account is yours and it has an appropriately reasonable password and you can trust yourself not to get phished (say, you have a system managing the logon) then that's probably fine.

The second there are other people with dumb passwords, or many other risk factors at play, I'd really suggest you need something doing MFA which unfortunately, MS doesn't offer out of the box on RDP.

I am not against vaccinations but I don't like your comment at all.

You also just have an opinion like everyone else.

When you listen to scientists you will understand it's much more complicated than you are saying.

Take a scientist like Geert Vanden Bossche. He really is a very big name in the world of vaccinations. But he has been warning us that vaccinating everyone during an pandemic of a fast mutating virus is a really bad decision.

Theorising that high carbon steel can form by mistake in some scenarios is no where even remotely close to the information management necessary to spontaneously create a tesla.

Some afterthoughts:

In seeking abiogenesis what we're really looking for is the first replicators. Certainly RNA strands can self replicate, but how is a particular sequence alive? About as alive as a virus, perhaps. Ok, posit a whole world of naked RNA, with multitudes of different sequences. Has life arrived on such a world? I'd say the interesting event would still be downstream from there, when by chance some of those different sequences happened to cooperate to mutual advantage. But that's like viruses inventing the cell.

Whereas, if you allow for the spontaneous collaboration of mere enzymes to create self sustaining metabolism, you can get a system that should exhibit natural selection, even without genes.

I guess what I'm railing on about is this notion that we have one class of molecules that do the work, and another that merely describes other molecules. We create categories and labels for what we see, and then get stuck within those constructs. Truth is often more subtle.

On the contrary. We keep a keen eye on power draw for our colo racks because our data center provider charges a lot for any power overages. $12/mo sounds great at home. However, having +20 servers/blades/network gear drawing 2-3Amps each quickly approaches the 80% limit of our 2x 30A circuits. Regardless of CPU architecture, power draw is a big deal.
I wasn't paying much attention to all sorts of safety issues, like potential RCEs, because this was initially intended for local development, not production use. But do let me know if you see how someone would be able to exploit those scripts without `dock` user knowing about it.

I'm obviously not a golfer, but here's a write up from someone who is, that explores the topic in depth:

http://www.limitlessperformance.ca/blog/the-mental-patters-o...

> But the most accurate and refreshing response received to this day has been… addictive! And if you think about it clearly, what better one-word description encompasses all that we know of this exhilarating sport known as Golf. There is no description more encompassing of a sport such as golf!

> And this is best described by a psychological principle referred to as “intermittent reinforcement”. Intermittent reinforcement is the formula foundation for all forms of addition. Take gambling with a slot machine as an example. You lose, lose, lose, lose and suddenly you win! And yet, despite the guaranteed repetitive loss and the incidental win, people love to play slot machines for hours. Why is intermittent reinforcement so powerful? In its simplest translation, the reinforcement pattern that blooms into addiction must entail of high levels of reward and amusement without the predictability factors which can trigger boredom. It‟s the unpredictability of when the reward arrives that draws and engages people into the activity. The rewards that are distributed intermittently trigger and release significantly higher doses of a pleasure inducing hormone known as dopamine, than the same rewards distributed on a more consistent (predictable) basis.

> Can you think of another activity that features in more intermittent reinforcement than golf? No matter what level of golf you are playing, it is guaranteed that you are going to hit more shots that feel miss-struck than well-struck. Some may argue that the pros hit the ball well on almost every shot, but on the contrary the better you are the higher the standard to what constitutes a shot that delivers maximum satisfaction and reward. To a highly skilled golfer, maximum satisfaction is gained through a perfectly struck and executed shot. While by the same token, for the double-bogey player, a drive that is struck decently and stays in the fairway is also a cause for celebration.
The idea of this stresses me out. It's highlighting my own deficiency in collaboration when it comes to working on hobby projects. I like the _idea_ of working on fun things with like-minded individuals, but heck, I do that all the time at work. 5 days a week I build things together with people, collaborate, compromise, review, etc. For projects outside of work, I find it difficult to give up control and end up working on my own. I could imagine working with a designer/UX person and giving them the lead on visual and interaction flows, but the overall _idea_ and _implementation_ must be my own.

I suppose this landing page made me realize that I'm a control freak.

So I made my conclusion and never shared my bots

> Does anyone feel as flabbergasted about interviews and tests?

Yes. You're at worst the average, at best part of the majority.

Almost everyone sucks at interviews and most job hiring processes are incredibly degrading. Feedback is terrible (includes no feedback). Hiring managers are all looking for different things, either subtly or wildly. Onus to get good at interviews is entirely on the individual, not on the company to make the process less of a hellscape. Hiring managers are largely biased, untrained, as are most interview processes. Many aspects of interview processes aren't even grounded in reality.

But almost nobody is talking about this as it's just something you "get done" and "bite through" once every N years. Plenty of perfectly capable people fall to the wayside and are told they are the problem. Or worse, you get a bunch of (LinkedIn) thought leaders trying to gaslight everyone into thinking corporate holds the truth and the remainder of us are peasants who simply don't understand.
This just woundn't work unfortuantly. It's a known fact that the large majorirty of the player base will not spend any money. This has the knock-on effect that the whales have to be squeezed in order for the game to turn a profit.

People underestmate the UA costs on these games. It can cost >$10 to get a single player into the game through advertising. So right off the bat you need to make $10 back per player to make a profit. Say 95% dont spend anything, so then you need $200 off each paying player to cover the costs of acquiring everyone else. Thats why this situation has evolved and why the games build themselves around the whales.

Of course games do get some players for free via app store discovery but predonminatly it's through advertising.
Fish weren't able to evolve anything. Something evolved in certain fish.

The different ways of saying it communicate different premises. The fish have no agency in their own evolution. More importantly, there is no agency, it's just so ething that happens.
I believe that there might have been a typo in what the previous poster has written.

IIRC, the error rate is more like 1 bit error per 4 GB RAM per 30 days (in the relatively recent studies made by Google for their servers).

Nevertheless, that is still not negligible. For workstations and servers with 64 GB DRAM or more, the errors can become frequent. Also, at high altitude the error rate is higher.

Moreover, besides the errors due to radiation, there are errors caused by electrical noise, which can become more frequent in old computers with cheap DIMM sockets, whose contacts have oxidized.

(I actually had this problem in some HP laptops, which had been stored for a long time without being used; being cold made the SODIMM sockets more vulnerable to humidity; after identifying the cause and scrubbing the sockets, the frequent memory errors disappeared.)

Cheating is bad - this is an overly broad and generalized position, isn't it? Lets say the blogger had seen that n+1 question online somewhere or in a book (instead of hearing from his friend), before the interview. Is he obligated to inform the interviewer in this case too?

There are many people who get stressed and can't really write good code in an interview setting, but are perfectly capable of writing great software otherwise. Lying in a software job interview (especially when you know you can do the job well, if hired) is totally different from lying in an emissions test like Volkswagon did.

As with most things in life, ethics isn't black or white, it is much more nuanced and complex. This is not to say that one should be unethical at every chance, just that reducing a hugely complex topic like ethics to binary is naive.
