The big issue is how few cities reach sufficient residential density with enough occupancy over a wide enough area to begin creating that vibrant community. A few overpriced apartments towers near the CBD won’t get you there. I’d say the city I live in Perth, Western Australia has completely failed to cross that threshold and the current real estate environment is basically actively pushing back to prevent the urban core from ever getting there.

The amount of stuff built in Breezewood is disproportionate compared to a typical highway exit because it is one of the few pieces of uncontrolled highway in the interstate system.

Similarly populated areas with a normal highway interchange don’t look anything like Breezewood.

Much like your examples, these things are typically built proportionally to the surrounding population.

As an interviewer I've seen candidates immediately recognize my interview question (let's be honest, with Leetcode unless you invest time to keep crafting new questions, sooner or later it gets leaked).

The interesting part is that you can still get enough signal to tell who understood the solution vs who only memorized it. (e.g. in my question you had to do a pre-processing to transform it into a classical question on leetcode; people who only memorized the solution wouldn't even recognize that and would find the input does not "fit" into the canned solution)

I'm actually replaying Riven right now, and at least for me personally, I find it just as new and refreshing as it was so many years ago.

Riven and its siblings (Myst, etc) are the only games that I've ever had to take down written notes to plan how to approach and solve the puzzles. Riven is more than just a play-for-fun-with-no-benefit way to spend my time; it is an intellectual exercise.
If companies told candidates why their applications were denied, sure, I'd be inclined to share my side. They don't, so fuck 'em. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I'd second this. Never had issues with features that don't work, and the cables I've gotten are bulky enough to not have issues with wearing out the protective sheathe.

They're not the most aesthetic cables, but they're cheap and they work.

Title is pretty out of context. From TFA

> Qualcomm would be interested in forming a consortium of sorts to acquire ARM. “We’re an interested party in investing,”

Relatedly, the CEO has mentioned that ARM going public would make him buy a bunch of shares, given his faith in the continued success of ARM. As is the case of any "bull case".

Forming a consortium or buying public shares is not, as the title implies, a singular company buying ARM.

> The French Revolution, as a matter of focus on 'rights' was a good idea, but concern over the King's Estate was populist stupidity.

I like what the French have done with their monarchy. They preserved the king's estate as the state's estate. Everyone can now visit the Palace of Versailles - access is not restricted to the royal family.

I'm not saying the British should end the monarchy and demote the royal family. It's their problem, they should handle it as they see fit. I am just saying I admire the French for setting things straight and not tolerating a priviledged class. Of course there are still priviledged former aristocrats in France, but still it's to a lesser extent than in the UK, where a few landlords lease out housing lots in London.
> How is this fair?

Well, if I were going to argue the case I would probably start with the impossibility of any man ever getting that opportunity. Of course, whether those figures are enough or given out in the right way to the right people at the right time, all of those details can be argued over, but if you're going to start with fairness as your argument you'd better address the elephant in the room first.

In every interview I've done, lunch was explicitly bracketed by "this is a free, casual lunch that won't affect your interview at all".

And as an interviewer, I've never been asked to report on lunch chats.

> You're not my peer. We're not having fun.

Actually, most interviewers are your peers, and they typically know that you're under interview stress and are trying to help. If you can't take a break and de-stress during lunch, you're just hurting yourself.
I mean, obviously exceptions were frequently made for folks with special needs or just personal preferences. I’m aware of many times that was done for both situations.

> The only way you could cash out would be to sell your account, which is against the ToS, but commonly done nonetheless.

Interesting. Why would the publisher have such a ToS? Just so they monopolize the revenue from in-game sales? Or is it more altruistic, like preventing new players having an unfair advantage? I would have thought encouraging a secondary market in their game would actually attract players.
Is it not a choice?
> The majority of humans are going to be parents.

Only because of the subsidies. It's hardly "natural" for all humans to reproduce.

All living humans come from a long unbroken chain of natural selection and rejection of bad genes and reproduction of only the fittest to enable adaption to a changing environment.

If you create subsidies so that every human can reproduce, you are going to reverse natural selection and create survival of the unfittest where every bad gene will reproduce endlessly.

Not having children is just as "natural" as having children, it all depends of how your particular set of characteristics do in the current environment and foreseeable future.

> It's just nearly unbelievable that the team behind Outer Wilds achieved this all through clever construction of the world they build.

One way they achieved this is they made a paper prototype they could play through quickly to make sure they got the narrative and knowledge and progression down. They also made a simple digital point and click version (using the Java library Processing, apparently) and got that rock solid before they built the rest of it. Very smart, and something people should consider if they want to make their own narrative games.

They have a whole article about it, including pictures[1]. I only wish the simple digital version could be downloaded. I'd love to play around with it now that I've beaten the game.

Lots of folks disappointed at Diablo Immortal are comparing it to a PC game which it isn’t. It’s a great game that lets you play and experience Diablo on the go, during your lunch breaks, and on the porcelain throne.

Once you adjust your expectations and understand that this is a filler game before D4 you’ll see that it’s a great game that can be enjoyed for the content without paying a cent

OT: I once wondered if normal human shuffling could actually achieve all possible permutations, where by "normal human shuffle" I mean take a deck of cards, split it into two roughly equal piles, and then merge the two piles by repeatedly taking the bottom card from one then the other, with some sloppiness in the "take the bottom card" part so that sometimes you might take more than one card but not too many.

The answer is yes. Here is a way to do it, although it is not very efficient.

Let P be a shuffle where the deck is divided exactly in half, and the merge perfectly alternates one card at a time between piles, starting with the half that was in the bottom before the cut. Let S(n) be a shuffle that is almost a P shuffle except that when the cards that would end up at locations n and n+1 in the P shuffled deck are at the bottom of their piles we drop them in the opposite order then go back to the normal drop order.

S(n) counts as a normal human shuffle. The result of an S(n) shuffle is the same as doing a P shuffle followed by swapping the cards at positions n and n+1 in the P shuffled deck.

If you take any deck and apply the same shuffle repeatedly you eventually get back to where you started. For example doing P 8 times brings you back to where you started. Let O(R) be how many shuffles it takes for shuffle R to come back to where it started, so O(P) = 8.

If you do O(S(n))-1 applications of S(n), then P, then one more S(n), that brings you back to where you started except that the cards at n and n+1 are swapped.

With this we have the capability to exchange adjacent cards in a deck. Any permutation can be reached by a sequence of adjacent exchanges, and thus normal human shuffling can reach every permutation.

As I said this method is not very efficient. The swap of n and n+1 by this method takes 120 shuffles if n is 22 or 28, 72 shuffles if n is 0 or 50, 56 shuffles for 1 or 49, 40 shuffles for 16, 17, 33, or 34, and 16 shuffles for any other n.

Putting the whole deck in a given order would then take tens of thousands of shuffles. Inefficient indeed!

That raises the question of how many normal human shuffles does it actually take to reach a given permutation? What permutation requires the most normal human shuffles?

Makes bugs harder to fix/diagnose and new features harder to implement. Yes, there is some UX and performance cost for certain actions if they require a roundtrip to the server. That isn’t my main concern, it’s just the speed of development.

For migrations, if a migration fails, you have no way of rolling it back because they only go up and not down. This is just a specific instance of the problem of having less popular dependencies — the bug fixes and new features are less plentiful because there’s not as wide of a community. That applies to xorm and go-macaron.
Does it directly affect users?
A lot of companies/managers couldn't conceive of how to run a business remotely before the pandemic. There were a few that were doing it, but lots of people had beliefs that caused them to not be able to see how it was possible. Due to the pandemic everyone had to experience how to do it, so the business world got a management crash-course in it. That dropped a whole lot of mental barriers.
We use Rublon for adding MFA to Remote Desktop and other VPNs too and it works very well. It’s not an over engineered monstrosity like Microsoft solutions.

good luck - I really feel for you and know others who have struggled with similar job search frustrations...

I lost a position over a year ago and found myself scrambling for a new role as an older person in tech. I thought of a few things that might help.

In my case I was trying to move into medical tech software infra role in NYC. I needed to find ways of talking to people in the target field in a low pressure way - I got an invite to https://lunchclub.com/ and started having chats with people who worked in tech with a medical focus. I met someone who worked for the CDC and another person who was a nurse who developed a new kind of injection needle, etc

I could ask them lots of questions about their work and get comfort in talking about related topics. It helped in my case as it helped me relax - I am not extroverted and I needed to develop fluidity in this way. I am not recommending lunchclub over any other such service - it is the one I used. I would guess there are more option in this space... In my case I found a job in a nonmedical field but the company is a pretty amazing fit and I feel lucky. I feel like the ability to relax in the interview process really helped.

Another thing I thought about with your post is - consider not applying for junior positions - the ugly language in the response letter you got is telling you that I think. It requires bravery and squelching the 'impostor syndrome' feelings but you are not a junior employee. You have life experience. Look for employers that seem to signal that they will hire based upon your aptitude rather than "x years in such a position".

Another question - are you contacting companies directly? YMMV but I get much better interactions with internal recruiters than head hunters. Try targetting companies even if they don't list exactly the job you are looking for.

Very best of luck

Suggesting improvements is ok. Recommending complete rewrite in different stack and technologies is not constructive critique imo.
I find it fascinating as well, especially how I can scroll through a recommended ambient playlist provided by Spotify and only pick 1-2 songs from the lot.
And on further exploration I often think to myself - damn, this is some good ambient, let me add it to my list - only to find I've added it already. Kinda proving to me that it's not just circumstantial appreciation but something that stays for a while I guess.
Is that not what is happening, when the candidate pretends he never seen the question during the interview but in reality he practiced it before on LeetCode :-)

And I mean a different question.
If it doesn't work then this model would simply disappear. Not a bad thing either for gaming.

In the Netherlands there's already laws around this kind of business model, requiring the company to specify win chances and other things. The publisher has decided not to release Diablo immortal there for this reason.

If more countries follow suit they'll have no option but to just go back to regular business models.
No, but it indirectly affects users.
It's not like you can get the "best" seasonal gear in D3 (which is paid upfront) without a ridiculous amount of grind. Well, not as ridiculous as 10 years, but still.

Without knowing how money scales in this game it's very hard to judge the 10 years / 110k figure. In D3 sometimes you're grinding exponentially for 1% or even 0.1% improvements at a time, and you don't have to.
I use the WCML a lot and it's pretty rickety. Parts of it are like a rollercoaster. I'm not sure you can go any faster on it and I guess it can't be straightened and levelled as (like most of the UK) the terrain is congested.
Medicaid will pay for nursing homes (if medically justified) once you run out of money; but the per diem isn't that much. Apparently a lot of nursing homes will commit to accepting medicaid reimbursement for continuing care if you can commit to paying N years first. I've heard usually 2, sometimes 3. If you can swing that, your kids won't have to pay, or they'll pay for incidentals, but not the whole thing. There are homes that just straight up take medicaid, but they review poorly; it's not enough to pay decent staff at reasonable levels, so there you go.

What I've heard about long term care insurance is you can't really buy a plan with useful coverage anymore. The old plans were good as long as the insurer remained solvent, but many didn't.

I had a similar issue: I unexpectedly became a single father and ended up just doing that full time for seven years (well I did work for about 15 months in the middle but had to give that up). I understand what she’s talking about.

There were many differences for me though. For one I had a rich network (she doesn’t mention this) so when, a couple of years ago, my gf urged me to get a job I ended up with a lot of recruiter calls. But TBH they couldn’t grok my bg and I’m not really a big company guy.

Also I already had multi-year gaps in my work history so this wasn’t an existential issue for me as it might be for most people.

Third, I’m male and the biases in business are different. Not just in business: a father traveling with a kid is offered all sorts of help and accommodation while a woman with kids is largely invisible. I could write a whole book on this! But on the business side I wasn’t asked the kinds of family questions that I hear women are asked. In fact “I had to become a full time parent” is usually received with sympathy rather than as a sign of unseriousness.

In the end I did what I usually do which is start a company. My co founder is a widow, and also a former software developer, and she struggled* more like the author of this piece. The idiots who didn’t hire her really missed out!

My gf’s path involved an unexpected hack: she took only a few years off when her kids were small but she and her then husband needed the income so she started working for a tiny consulting boutique, initially part time. That let her slowly transition into consulting on her own.

* Disclaimer: we have never discussed this directly though: this comes through when we talk about hiring.
Really we should allow parents to sell their children into slavery, that would be a means of maximizing short-term return on investment for parents who can't afford to provide food, education and clothing to their children. Remember, the free market is the ultimate selector for maximum efficiency, and to quote Milton Friedman, 'corruption is government interference into market efficiencies in the form of regulation'. Friedman got a Nobel (*swedish bank) Prize in Economics, so he must be right.
