I’ve been using gitea for a number of years - before GitHub started letting people have private repos for free it was about the only option for a self hosted private repo with a GUI. It’s written in Go which makes it very convenient to run from a usb stick. It also has a feature to mirror other repos and I use that to keep local copies of projects I follow - and has saved me a couple times when the project authors decided to delete their repos or YouTube decided to not host them. Today I use gitea to host my private development server as a Tor hidden service which makes it easily accessible from almost anywhere - though many major hotels chains will ban your MAC address locally if they see you connecting to Tor servers, but never had issues while at an AirBNB which is where I spend most of my time these days.
It's a big red flag to me, because understanding compensation is an important part of a recruiter's job. The recruiter either did not understand it, which is bad, because you've got someone doing important work (negotiating with potential hires) who doesn't understand a basic part of their job, or they did understand it and were purposely trying to mislead it. Either way, it doesn't reflect well on the company.
Not sure if doing it that way will create a private repo or not (at the airport and I can’t check), but you can use the GitHub CLI to do it. I’m a huge fan of the CLI, but obviously being able to do it without that is nice.

I take it you must be aware that the threat of a felony means next to nothing when it comes to computer hacking, right? If it did people and companies wouldn’t be getting owned left and right, and the security industry wouldn’t be so huge.
It’s very good and realistic advice. Ignore it at your own risk I suppose, just don’t be surprised when the obvious happens.
Gitea is very easy to use, but I find the Activity feature is a little slow.

I experienced the "Try Gitea" service and migrated our TiDB repo https://github.com/pingcap/tidb to it. When I clicked the Activity tab and selected "1 year" period, I found the page loading was so slow, nearly 90s. And I also found that this Activity doesn't have a Cache, I re-selected "1 year" again, and the page loading was nearly the same time.

I guess Gitea uses git command to traverse all the logs for the period every time. Maybe it can use a database to speed up, or like Github only provide at max "1 month" period.
3200mhz cl 16. they aren't the absolute fastest, but 8 have a zen 2 CPU, so faster wouldn't have made a difference.
"If you are fortunate (?) to be around in the entrepreneurial world long enough, you will realize that intelligence, hard work, good time management etc are not adequate."

Not just as an entrepreneur. I have found that these traits don't guarantee a reward for ICs, or anyone really. I used to work hard. Now I just work hard enough. Pays the same either way.
I stopped using Amazon entirely a few years ago. I haven't replaced Amazon with another single vendor. I just search for the product and best prices, which are often better than Amazons. So I buy from wherever.

Is it slightly more work than just going to Amazon? Only a bit (e.g. payment takes more work if you haven't shopped there before). But it's often faster to find what you want at a better price than via Amazon itself.
You just have to find the direct link to the image and then use that, and it seems to work always for me so far?

Most Microsoft keyboards have a dedicated calculator key, which I personally find more efficient, and you can bind it to your preferred calculator app.
Interesting. It never occurred to me that some domains may stuff a lot of spam/adverts in between good articles.

Sadly, it does happen.
Perhaps they have indeed lost the small parts of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts that comprise the separatist republics. It's no reason to give Russia another inch beyond those, since the people in the remainder overwhelmingly oppose Russian control of their lands.
I am aware just didn’t want to correct the person correcting the inaccuracies. I suppose I could have given the red squares a unit value in the illustration.
You need a vertex- and pixel-shader, but AFAIK even on modern GPUs the vertex attribute interpolation happens as fixed-function feature between the vertex- and pixel-stage (e.g. the vertex shader runs per vertex and outputs different colors for each vertex, and the pixel shader runs per pixel and gets the hardware-interpolated per-pixel color as input).
I had the same experience in my Cambridge University entrance interview. The kid before me came out and said the professor asked xx and she ended up asking me the same question and I had a chance to look up the answer.
> nobly mastering the material in general and then doing well on the test

This is what I almost always did, because I was there to learn and wanted to better myself and actually know the material. Sometimes I'd know some nonsense was on the test like memorizing an arbitrary complicated formula but that was the exception. Always tended to do well too.

Here's an unusual suggestion...

In the 1980s the children's publisher Usborne published computing books for young readers and a few years ago they made the books available for free download. The books use illustrations extensively to explain concepts. Not only are these books well written with clear, concise explanations, they are also more readable and enjoyable than many programming and computing books published for adults today.

Anyone writing a technical guide (of any kind) would benefit from reading these as a source of ideas and inspiration:

How would one start an image hosting service nowadays? Are there any big obstacles? E.g. would it be necessary to have moderators or is it possible to just react to DMCA takedown notices?

I don't see why Imgur doesn't have to face the competition that would force them to be better.
So what happens in your code if you just change the line

"I could have told them I had a massively unfair advantage, but I did not bother."

I guarantee they knew you had an advantage without you saying something.

That's the whole point of interviews - to find the candidates with the advantages over the other. The question becomes whether a specific advantage is unfair, or if any advantage is unfair.
Would have been a huge negative to me. I'm fine to chat with peers and discuss little riddles.

That is not what's happening when you're interviewing me for a job position. You're not my peer. We're not having fun. There's a non-subtle implication that my ability to answer the riddle will impact whether or not I get the job. I would be very annoyed if someone asked a puzzle like this too. It's not a novel puzzle. It's mostly a gotcha where intuition meets math. I could blurt out the answer. But I would instead feel it more important to slowly reason out the answer and appear to discover it on the fly. Which is pretty bullshit. And I would think you're not very smart for thinking this is worth anyone's time.

If I didn't know the puzzle and I failed to get the job I would be mad and it would stick out as something that penalized me unfairly.

TLDR

Recently, I fell down the rabbit hole of Cyclic TV Reference Paradoxes. These occur when a chain of fictional TV show references form a cycle. Each show’s reality depends on another being fictional, so a cycle of these dependencies would be a paradox.

I wanted to know if these paradoxes actually occurred and figured it would be an interesting programming exercise to try and find out. It was effectively a graph problem, where each node was a TV show, the directed edges were references between them, and any cycles were instances of this paradox. To build this graph I scraped, indexed, and searched over 40,000 subtitles across ~300 popular TV shows, finding 2000+ fictional TV references.

I built a small web app to visualize the data and perform depth-first searches to find these cycles amongst the references. 72 paradoxes were found!

Here’s a set of screencaps illustrating a paradox across 4 shows: https://imgur.com/a/4Ej6lr2

Here’s a gif of the tool in action: https://imgur.com/a/1a9WqtC

The withdrawal from large tracts of the country towards employment centers, mostly on either coast, is still ongoing. WFH may have blunted it a little, however the tendency is the same. For every person that moves from San Francisco to Raleigh there's two that move from Lumberton, NC to Raleigh. So - prices in Raleigh are not falling, and who cares about Lumberton? And prices in the pharma hub Boston are out of control. If you are in pharma, you most likely live in Boston, SF or San Diego, with housing out of control in all three. That's the thing - housing is still most intimately tied to employment.
Generally I agree, but the only image host worse than imgur is Reddit's image hosting.
Regret, sure, but since we can't change the past that regret should motivate us to work harder to make the present and future better. We're a young species, and part of growing up is looking back with chagrin at how foolish we seem in the light of our new growth and learning.
I use noise before sleeping due to some mild tinnitus. I tried the Alexa/Spotify approach for a while, but didn't like the gaps between the tracks or anything else that would make me take notice of the background sound.

I ended up repurposing an old Android tablet hooked up to a cheap USB powered speaker bar through the headphone jack of the tablet. It runs the White Noise app, and I go for sea/waves types of sound. I keep the tablet offline in airplane mode with a very short display-off setting. The sound can loop continuously, or you can set it to switch off after a certain time.

It's been really great every night for the last few years. I did research some sort of sleep machine box on Amazon, but it's surprisingly difficult to find something that doesn't want to shine bright status LEDs into your darkened bedroom, or other annoying things.
You're way off with that number. Nine out of ten startups may fail, but far greater than 10% of employees receiving equity ultimately see some value from it.

Startups that fail tend to do so early, before they've hired a lot of people. Far more equity grants are given out by series C-D-E startups because they're able to hire vastly more people, and the rate of failure of those companies is much lower.

And again, that's still not a reason just to ignore the equity component of an offer. You're clearly cynical about equity - that's fine. Understand your equity and use that information to negotiate for less of it and more salary (or whatever else you prefer).

Thanks for the recommendation, I think it's in my tsundoku somewhere. What I liked about The Lodger was that it doesn't go on about authorship at all, just painstakingly reconstructs a time, a place and a life and leaves a picture convincing enough that it really leaves some speculation looking rather daft.
At first I thought this was going to be some sort of scam, but was pleasantly surprised to find it was using the platform for such an unanticipated reason.

This is such an old and discredited argument that it literally turns up in Ben Elton’s Shakespeare sitcom as something to be parodied; it’s probably not deserving of much of a counter argument. Like, it’s more or less a conspiracy theory at this stage.
Although Imgur is not the old Imgur anymore, the suggested alternatives can have more of the same drawbacks.

Discord - Good when you share things within a group, but is really hard to search and generally unavailable to outsiders.

Twitter - Really good when you have a direct link, but more often than not I hit a 'Register Now wall'

Reddit - Seems decent, but when you are using old Reddit, sometimes the galleries will malfunction or only load on new Reddit for some bizarre reason.

GitHub - Image hosting is really good and fast. But sadly the platform is mostly used for development. Also there is still the tendency Microsoft is Bad, so GitHub bad. Although I personally disagree.

What I tend to do recently is to share images on the platform itself whenever possible. So Reddit images on Reddit, GitHub images on GitHub, etc. And repost whenever I need. You are amazed how many platforms (ie. Discourse, GitLab and other forum software) allow inline image uploading. When it is impossible to directly share images I tend to still use Imgur, because it's free and fast.
I’m all for utilitarianism-ish and sensible areas of effect. If the code doesn’t leave a specific environment, then only those [steering] in that environment can decide what standards should be there, without any preexisting knowledge. It’s not a big deal if you repeat a few mistakes, because you can fix them, or find out they were minor. Thinking on a level of how/why the world does that is unproductive, unless you see in action why that “fence” is there. This is really a personal thing - not for a single person, but for any team composition (including 1). Of course this means that tabs must be eight spaces because who knows where you could paste/stream the code, and this renders them unusable for indenting lines.
I like to use problems like this too.

What’s nice about this example is it provides lots of scope for discussion (as you did) without requiring much domain experience.

If the person can’t program their way out of a paper bag you’ll find out right away.

If they are a junior hire, any working answer is fine.

If they have more experience they can start to talk about why they chose the approach they did.

If they are quite senior you could talk about the benefits and limitations of different strategies, as you did.

In my case (if I still applied for programming jobs, which I don’t), I’d most likely do a naive shuffle and then discuss how problems using random numbers involve corner cases that require thought and domain knowledge I don’t have at my finger tips, so we could talk more about the (pseudo in this case) application needs so I could (in the real world) focus on the most important constraints.

As an interviewer I’m as happy, or even more happy, when the candidate knows their domain limitations and where they are important and where they are not.
Theft is theft, no matter the percentage. That you think the government doesn’t spend wisely has nothing to do whatsoever with the fact that a commonwealth consisting of 25% of the world’s population continues to legitimize an institution which thrives on ill-gotten wealth.

Take the queen’s money and set it on fire, or give it back piecemeal to the colonists that were exploited. In any case, burn it all down, because it has no place in the democratic world.
You're not missing much. Not sure why this article was ever upvoted, it has pretty much zero insight or entertainment value.
In the past (for a very short amount of time though) I tried something similar.

To add a step to your methodology, I’ve looked for inspirations on IFTTT. The idea was to find popular workflows and build a small saas around it. And clearly developing building blocks I could reuse from one project to another.

As I said I didn’t really follow through, it’s just not for me I guess. I hope this can help, best of luck!
AOL was like "The Matrix". The system was full of casual, blissfully ignorant users... meanwhile there was an underground set of hackers and script kiddies having a blast while being chased down by moderators.

Ah yes, I remember the first time I got my family's account shutdown for "punting" a moderator and crashing a bunch of servers. My dad was like "what?" when AOL _called us_.

Did those costs come from raw materials? Otherwise scaling up would have driven down those prices massively.
While I totally get what you mean, I’d guess for scientists, the answer is generally, “no”. Expected outcomes for trials like this are a whole lot less certain to the people doing the work, that than it seems on the outside, so i think it wouldn’t even occur to the scientists that the downside of “withholding” treatment from the tiny (relative to the population) control group comes close to the upside.
> you have to pay for YouTube premium to play audio while the screen is off

There are many sleep videos which have a dark screen for this reason, you can add "dark screen" to the search terms and see the choices. Although it's not quite the same as having the screen off, it's close enough in my experience.

Incredible article!

What strikes me about EA is the lack of values around family, community, or civics. If you value the life and happiness of every human on the planet equally, except maybe yourself, I’d venture to say you are not ok. You have no friends/family/connections/support/village/etc). Math and abstract virtue in the mind can’t replace that.

I don’t know that I’d sacrifice my life for any number of others. But I care about my friends and acquaintances. Some of them are not ok. I’d rather lift them out of poverty, or get them decent healthcare, than save a life on the other side of the planet. I’d rather try to influence voters and the political process in my own state and country, or help house the homeless in my town. I have about 400 Facebook friends, and some are billionaires, some are broke, maybe a few are homeless or on the edge of homelessness.

You can’t save the world if you can’t create a microcosm of the world you want to live in, around yourself, with real heartfelt connections.
So... the answer is "impossible to know"? There's no data on how many seats there are, their distance, or whatever. There could theoretically be literally just the seat you're sitting on in the entire system. Then the answer is zero.

Fascinating, this drug (molecule) somehow “unmasks” the cancer cells, allowing the body’s natural immune system to target and destroy them.

How does a molecule do that!? Enters the blood stream, is absorbed by the cancer cell, and then…? Blocks some enzyme?

what I'm saying is,

RNA, great, that's a Thing. I just don't think that finding a mechanism for RNA to arise is the big step. I think the Big Step is going to be discovery of a set of molecules that use what's available to make more of that set.

Could the molecules in that set be RNA? Sure! Do they have to be RNA? I have no idea. How small can that set be? Can it be a single molecular species? That would be fascinating! I'd think it would probably take more than one, though.

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, just trying to stir the pot of ideas.
Articles like this are just bizarre - there's this whole genre of "I did this very mildly unhealthy thing for a week and experienced these totally real and definitely not-a-placebo health effects even though the negative effects usually take half a lifetime to manifest" that try to reinforce the idea that there's some perfect right clean way to eat that will ensure excellent health forever.

This one is that, doubly so - it seemed to be mostly concerned with the effects of sodium, when there's not much evidence for any downside to high sodium consumption except for some sodium-sensitive individuals, and it's not clear that the author actually exceeded recommended values for daily consumption or even really increased their sodium intake all that much.
