Renewable energy IS big business, and most of the money comes from governments.

I didn't even make such references, but your snark claiming renewable energy couldn't possibly have ulterior motives makes no sense.

It is also not a given that it reduces pollution. Until very recently, solar panels cost more energy to make than they would yield. I've hear claims it is different now, but I can not yet buy a solar panel for my house that would make economic sense. That seems odd, because if they would yield a net win in energy, it should be available to buy.

In my country they will now also cut down a historic wood to make space for wind power.

Hydrological dams are also famous for wrecking havoc with ecosystems.

Most ecological issues that are attributed to climate change these days are actually caused by humans destroying nature directly - cutting down woods, eliminating safe spaces for animals and insects, messing with rivers, building cities that let the ground sack into the see, stuff like that.
Excellent, I will use this sentence for my examples in the future ;)
Both companies target demographics that would oppose that.

Also the PR storm of such a reversal would significantly damage their stock prices. More importantly, stockholders suing either company to force them to reverse the policy would be an even bigger story.

It's not a fiduciary responsibility to make as much money as possible, it's to maximize value for shareholders which means stock price rivals revenue.
What’s wrong with Britain? Let’s start with the monarchy (2021)
I think they are mostly polarising in US, while in most European countries they have various levels of effectiveness, the majority of the population is with them.
I am using Grid.js and I have used Datatables before. However I have not found “advanced” library in a sense that none of them can do good table collapsion and rendering on mobile. Are there any grid systems that could handle mobile particularly well?
It doesn't work in a system where nobody pays. e.g. UK
Why do you think the mechanics of nonchemical addiction are different to chemical addiction? I certainly see plenty of nonrich people being addicted to drugs and essentially spend everything they have on drugs (the proximity to crime is obviously an additional factor)
Yep, definitely this.
We have that too, but to water our trees that would mean I need a truck and at least a 250 gallon tank. Hardly an efficient or green solution since I’d be burning quite a bit of fuel to do this.
I wonder what sort of response interviewer would give if asked. So how is this solution used in your company?
Who wouldn’t just sort the array and check it? His solution is very brittle: it fails in so many ways if the data had unexpected properties.

Real world requirements usually contain inaccurate assumptions. He spent days to find a terrible answer, when the obvious solution is much better
Another element is how ambition to have your own achievement can team up with risk taking. It's usually not the humble playboy who consumes away the fortune, it's one who tries to step out of the shadow cart by inheritance by growing the fortune through a series off get-richer-quickly schemes.
Or Viking Long ships.
If you walk around a low income area in the US, you’ll find loot boxes littered on the ground. We call them scratch off tickets. Getting the okay from the government to prey on your fellow citizens has precedent here.
It seems like the online discourse stalled out at, “Well Pokémon cards are legal, aren’t lootboxes basically the same thing?”. I have my own opinion on that but I never saw a consensus rebuttal form against that point.
I actually cheated on an online assessment for one of my first programming jobs. It was my dream job and really wanted to get into that company. Under the pressure, I just couldn't figure out the solution to the last challenge which was a recursive algorithm. Normally, I would be able to do this but I just got stuck and in a moment of panic, I StackOverflow'd the question on a secondary device which provided me the exact answer. I typed it in with my own style and submitted the assessment.

I got the job, stayed at the company for 4 years with great performance reviews and it shaped my experience as the programmer I am today. I couldn't imagine where I would be without the experience I gained there.
Can you expand on what you mean?
I disagree. He heard about this question beforehand during a casual encounter with an employee. So what? The onus is on Microsoft to have a more robust process than using basic riddles like those.

Would he have chosen to volunteer the info, he would have actively decided to penalize himself against all the other candidates who had also heard about this question before. This would have been borderline stupidity.
> It's hard for a person in the throes of addiction to last as a whale for long.

They don't have to. Repeatedly unearthing cow-clickers whom you can milk for $10'000 before sending them into financial ruin sounds like a much more viable business strategy to me than trying to build a portfolio of people both rich and dumb enough to sustainably cow-click.
> in the UK, off-shore wind is utterly dominant.

This is for political reasons rather than economic or technical ones. Further reducing the cost of on-shore wind relative to off-shore could swing the political argument in favour of on-shore wind.
I think there are parallels between a lot of the semiconductor supply chain shocks and the toilet paper shortages at retail.

TP and ICs both are relatively inexpensive and have the ability to be stored for a long time without functional degradation. If you think either will be in short supply, it’s not that costly nor inconvenient to buy 5-10x your normal supply “just in case”, especially if you can see that others are likely to do the same.

To the extent that’s been a driver, I can’t see this lasting longer than 5 years at the very outside. Once there’s confidence that parts will be available in distribution in 2028, people will stop over-buying and chew through their increased safety stock to return to some normal, which might mean more local stock held, but distribution flow will become closer to finished product flow again.

I’m just a small-time hobbyist and I bought several extra reels of passives (mostly MLCCs) and partial reels of a couple microcontrollers that I use in early 2020. There was no reason for me to do that before 2019.
Maybe those who care about computational complexity for instance?
Except you haven't really lived through anything serious at all, compared to previous generations. I find that kind of notion rather embarrassing.
In the past you run your whole application as one piece on your machine, you could easily set a simple breakpoint and be done with it, now you have many interdependent components (microservices, 3rd party APIs), stuff running in the browser, stuff running in remote databases. It's like looking for a nail in a haystack. Even worse on production, you need to log every single call everywhere just in case you ever need to trace which random component caused that weird issue the client is complaining about.
An API isn't a network call and a WebAPI is a distributed service by definition of doing a network request.
It's hardly an unpopular opinion. It just gets shouted down very loudly by the true believers.

You can think of the generic food courts in the typical US mall, but there are also plenty more boutique food malls around.
Children have parents who know what their children are doing online. In any case, children don’t have access to credit cards or any other means to pay for in-game items.
I too don't care one iota about the battery life, it's plugged in at all times anyway. But it's blazing fast and the fan never makes a sound, assuming there even is a fan. It really was a game changer for me in mobile development where I was used to fans continuously whining for 8h, and the machine still being slow probably due to thermal throttling.
I woke up to some huge spam threads from Github this morning. Someone figured out how to notify everyone in a major repo (at least, I think that's what happened), and others piled on with nonsense comments and even some very disgusting images.

Sure, it's nice how little there is, but it's definitely there.
What exactly do you mean? Kids think they will die because of climate change, because that is what they are constantly being told, by the media and the school system, among other things.
I wouldn't be surprised if these predatory games lowered the odds for big spenders in order to trick them into spending even more.

Correct. Actually, the directors and shareholders are both bound by the company constitution or charter, as well as the various agreements between them. None of these documents ever say “make money at any cost”, and I suspect this whole fiduciary duty nonsense was pushed down from Wall Street, who of course stand to profit from the concept.

You just got to look at a company like Boeing and how it changed over the years. The fiduciary duty of the directors didn’t change; but the directors certainly did.
Thanks. I believe it has been fixed now.
> How much should we allow others to enrich themselves off the addictions/compulsions of others?

the current line is drawn at 18+ and non-chemical addiction, or light chemical addition like nicotine. It is worthy of debate, whether psychological addiction ought to be included.

My guide would be that if it causes external harm, then it should be regulated, where external harm is defined as harm that, while undertaking said activity, would befall a third, unrelated party.
So you can only be refugee if you agree to your war propaganda narrative, right? Run in the right direction - refugee, run in the wrong direction - kidnapping victim.

But there is a link to an original article, so you can skip straight to it:

"children will be made to take Russian language classes" is the funniest piece of FUD considering Mariupol is predominantly Russian-speaking city. No support for "forced" relocation claims provided.
"and investigate how much of the usual machinery of reinforcement learning algorithms can be replaced with the tools..."

These sounds as if the authors have confidently figured out that the current reinforcement learning formulation is not good enough.

On the other hand, I think the recent large language models have showed us that much of the world knowledge is indeed predictive. That, if you can predict accurately (next words), you can understand higher more abstract things. The hypothesis that much of world knowledge is predictive, is very important in the framework of reinforcement learning because that means that with enough General Value functions learned off-policy, one can predict almost anything about the world that is useful to the agent in achieving its goals. (cf the Horde paper).
> Could this disrupt the migrations of species like clown fish and sea turtles?

Not, cute cartoons are safe and will live to suffer a sequel. Nemo is now a girl.

But will disrupt the migrations of real animals that are endangered, like sharks, eels (most vanished in the last 60 years) and mesopelagic squids and fishes that play main roles in fighting human famine.

And the technology will need to find a way avoid getting cluttered by marine snow and filterers settling on it, most probably.
But it still doesn't answer my question - obviously you have gear progression without spending any money, just like there is in Genshin Impact. So at what point do you reach a point where you literally can't enjoy the game any more without spending any money? Because if it's 100h+ like for me in Genshin, then I don't think there's any problem for 99.999% of players. Yes the option to spend money and get crazy high gear is there for the wales, but is the game itself enjoyable even if you don't do this? Because I know as a fact that Genshin is. Would love to know if the same applies to Diablo.
There's something about routine diagnostics that causes docs to not put a lot of effort into interpreting the data. I had a sleep study plus MSLT done because my doctor suspected narcolepsy. The MSLT results came back just shy of the textbook definition of narcolepsy. Basically you take 5 15-minute naps and if you fall into REM sleep during 3 or more of the naps, insurance will accept a narcolepsy diagnosis.

When I read the summary though, it was obvious there were at least some mistakes in interpreting the data. I can't remember the details, but my doctor wasn't impressed and wanted to look at the data himself. Long story short, the place I got the test done at had no protocol for transferring that data anywhere. Which, btw, is a requirement under HIPAA. I have a legal right to have access to that data and to have it sent to another medical professional. From what I understand, the software they use has a proprietary file type and my doctor couldn't open it with anything he had. They could print it out, but it would be hundreds of pages and I'm not convinced they actually would do that unless I threatened to file a HIPAA report.

I ended up having to go to a different facility for another sleep study so that my doctor could actually see what was going on. If you've ever had one done, you know exactly how pleasant they are. 2 within 2 months of each other because the doc at the first place phoned it in is just ridiculous.

The data from the last study was clear enough that my doc was able to diagnose me with narcolepsy. That diagnosis allowed me to have Xyrem covered by my insurance. Between that and nuvigil, I'm still tired sometimes, but not the way I used to be. It took 8 years of being exhausted and miserable to finally find a doc that had the knowledge and the motivation to figure out what the hell was wrong with me. Even with a good doc, I still had to deal with the lack of effort some docs put into interpreting routine diagnostic tests.

The trouble is that sometimes in-app purchases means the game is a demo, and you use the in app purchase to buy the full game. There are good games that follow this model that you’ll miss out on if you filter out in app purchases.
Oh yeah? Next year it will be 220k.

For me, Blizzard has always been the WarCraft 1-2 and StarCraft 1-2 company. Never liked the rest of their output over the years.

That said, it's a shame the company has been reduced to a gambling shop. Sign of the times, I guess. The writing was on the wall 10 years ago but I am no longer scared about my hobby. So what if the big guys all do lootboxes. Don't buy from them.

Activision used to have stellar catalogue 15 years ago. Now look at them. It's all junk
I wish this also contained an alternative suggestion. Where else should I hide the link to the privacy statement and the button for opting out of data collection?
Hmm, comparing flourishing residential neighborhoods in Berlin like Kreuzberg (not every but enough streets have small shops, Cafes, Restaurants, all vibrant and positively living from sunrise to sunset and beyond, enjoyably walkable with a lot of green) vs the more purer City-center office regions like Mitte where you have shops that noone needs (yeah yeah sure someone wants to buy at Dolce Gabbana, biased not me) which just feel awkward beyond usual business hours I find this generally not true.. atmosphere is much more desirable here, and its better for the "small shops" vs Starbucks&McDonaldses also..

Sure, if you think only of residential one family house areas (but which true city centers have those) or poorer skyscraper suburbs that is true, but another story?!
You're very lucky that you get this. I would kill for extra time to work on badly needed projects.
Even if you had terabytes of data sorting is still the easiest answer. Especially if you had terabytes of data in fact. Brittle solutions suck

Start with what works and then optimize

Sophomoric is exactly the word here, and it’s no surprise that the story is about Microsoft
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27727150
Let’s not overthink this. Microsoft is using this test as a low-pass filter to get rid of candidates who would:

- not find any answer in a few minutes

- find a wrong answer and argue about it in an obnoxious way

Any reasonable answer would probably do.

You would probably get more brownie points for asking what you need to optimize for (compute, storage) than providing what seems to be the best solution (using the sum trick).
You need to be aware that if you choose to employ remotely internationally, then you aren’t just choosing one jurisdiction — you are potentially tying yourself up in many jurisdictions.

This is because your foreign workers will have local tax obligations by virtue of being physically present in another country while working for you. It doesn’t matter what’s written in your contracts, local law wins. They can also claim rights under their local employment law, and those countries could deem you to be operating locally and subject your company to corporate registration, reporting and taxation.

Be careful to analyse the local laws and tax situation before hiring people in another country.
I think 20% time is naturally opposed to collaboration.

In my head, "20% time" is actually "work on what I want to work on", and I spend all week working on things someone else tells me to do. If I take some "me time", it's not going to be used for someone else. And if I'm going to do something for someone else, I'm going to just get my regular projects done.

There's a small possibility that someone else has a great idea that I really want to help with, but that idea would have to be big enough that 2 people could work on it at the same time, too.

So in the end, I think 20% Collab is a bit of an oxymoron.

Cant say about the Stack Overflow content, I've had loads of webpages removed from from the Wayback Machine.

The idea that everything that goes online stays online forever, forget that, they wipe what they like, so then it means that you get classed as mentally unwell, get locked up without trial and drugs forced down your neck. Rinse and Repeat.

I understand why massacres occur now.
Kids should learn something tangible and useful, that could help them develop tools to meet the challenges of the future. Instead they are just constantly being told that they are doomed and in how many ways they could help by eschew consuming things and not having kids themselves.
You tell the interviewer you are familiar the question instead of pretending to come up with a solution on the spot. Is that not obvious to everyone?
Yeah, these people want to restructure the market and turn home serfs into homeowners. Monsters.
I'm pretty sure they're just targeting the widest demographics where people no longer care about albums, especially in the age of streaming, singles and EPs.
How is it brittle? It solves the problem at hand, which is unambiguous (I think).
Well that burst length looks like it's going to be good for bandwidth.

Now, about DRAM latency... perhaps DDR6 can have an I WANTZ IT NAO signal.
There were many claims that we would be suffering from extreme consequences by now already, zero of which have materialized.

That is not to say that ALL predictions are necessarily wrong, but enough to be wary of the fear mongering. Especially since dramatic predictions probably yield more government money.
> I'd strongly point people at the RD Gateway MFA plugin

Is this working well? I've tried setting this up a few weeks ago and found it to be somewhat brittle. The MFA requests would sometimes be delayed long enough that the GW would timeout. I've tested this on Windows 2022.
The life expectancy dip was mostly a consequence of the collapse of the USSR. While less traumatic than collapse of the Roman empire, collapses of this size tend to make life shorter, nastier and more brutish.

Russia is absolutely vast and most people living in Russia were so far from Chernobyl that their radiation burden from the disaster wasn't significant. The wind conditions meant that foreign countries like Poland were hit by more radiation that, say, Moscow or St. Petersburg. Asian cities like Novosibirsk or Vladivostok were absolutely out of range.

But the life expectancy dip was ubiquitous, not concentrated in the areas closest to Chernobyl. IDK how much of it is attributable to alcoholism, but a healthcare system starved of money seems to me a quite likely culprit.
China regulates lootbox games. Here's a Cambridge research article on the topic:

Let NFTs take care of it.

In-game skins are going nowhere, let a government force the company into creating a package with however many skins they want (maybe based on prior sales or realistic expectations) per season (whatever their season looks like) and walk away from it. You know they won't be able to add more.

Because what's stopping them now to change the decimal point however they see fit.

I suppose the same could be done with progression (where the real money is). Either make it tradeable somehow and lock it down, or outright ban it and allow for more expensive but regulated skins be the only funding capital.
People put tens of thousands of hours into these sorts of games though to get equipment. Put that same time into a minimum wage job and we’re approaching the same amount of money. Seems relatively fair.
Better mention as Hindu culture. India is a country name and it doesn't need to be associated with religion because it is the majority there.
It really doesnt. Fans are just upset the Diablo name was stained with this practice. You are looking at this level of spend required for pretty much any mobile gacha game
Software doesn't matter, what matters is the experience.
Apple Music simply isn't a great app but everyone can vote with their wallet and switch to something else.

Data mobility is a huge problem in the sciences and medical field. For years, companies have been leeching off researchers by trapping them into their proprietary data types which forces them to purchase expensive software licences and prevents sharing due to the need for again, expensive software
