You don't mention which country or university they received their degree in, but I just want to say that, in certain developing countries, it's quite common to simply buy a bachelor's degree, rather than get the degree legitimately. And so the western university's skepticism may be well-placed.

Or it's just simple misfortune. Universities don't have 100% acceptance rates.

The most important aspect is which SKU and config you're looking at. Various stores will stock what they think are the big movers, and will not have much of anything else on hand.

Recycle it with Apple.

I don’t understand this desire to keep arbitrary old devices around. I only do it for as long as I need a device for testing (iOS dev).

I’ve never read it, but I think the idea is the character in the book is convinced he is doing nothing wrong. And the “game” is to get the reader to think the same.
> Put some ebooks on your phone and read those.

This was the biggest improvement I did to improve my "phone time".

I realized I was only kidding myself if the actual goal was zero screen time. Being unproductive and just killing time by yourself isn't a bad thing, but if you spend that time reading something substantial instead of news and Twitter beefs you don't hate yourself afterwards.
That's untrue. An accurate, less clickbaity title for the article would be "Web-centric technologies are ubiquitous in all types of software now".
Do you mean emulators? That's how I played Tetris on my iPod Touch.
Again, this is mainly for screening and understanding what the candidate knows. There's no single right answers: some candidates will talk about assets caching, others will focus on software optimizations, others on infrastructure, or database...

High availability is one of our core problems, so a candidate must be familiar with at least some of the answers. And again, we still guide the candidate on the different points if they're stuck ("what about the db?", "what if the clients are in the US and in Europe?", etc.)

If an interviewer expects a single "right" answer, they're doing it wrong.
The worst symptom of "slow" that I see is cumulative layout shift in content sites.

It might not be entirely accidental. All the time I try to click on a link but at the last minute the layout changes and... ka-ching! I clicked on an ad.

Maybe this is how Google can make $50B on ads a year without anybody admitting that they've ever clicked on an ad.
Good luck but your motivations will probably not line up with the masters who dictate things that become complexity.

For example, I look at our software running on .net MVC and think as an Engineer, it simple and knowable but the Front-End Team are less worried about simplicity and more on flashy front-end stuff since that is their job. We end up bolting on a Front-end JS framework and complexity immediately ramps up by like 300%.

Are they wrong for wanting a better and more flexible front-end? Not necessarily, I mean all the other companies have cool stuff and if we don't maybe our company dies.

Ditto for lots of other examples...
An 80 Year Old Innovation from Another Industry
This is a really interesting use-case. I don’t think posting spam is really a zero-cost thing though. So we wouldn’t be adding a cost, we would be increasing it. So I guess the big question is, how much can we charge per post that spammers couldn’t afford but wouldn’t scare away actual community members?
What's the amount of time that divides lying from just time passing?
Note that electricityMap has been working w/ marginal signals just recently (2021), and they compete with WattTime (which does marginal signal estimations for some time).

In any case, they conclude the marginal signal is good for short term decisions, and also in regions with low renewable sources. In my understanding, if the marginal signal does not go down in the long-term, it means the electrical system still depends on brown energy [1].

Implicitly, they also say that what WattTime does is not “assessable”. Physically speaking, there should have a way to estimate it. It is not like energy comes out of thin-air, and I guess that’s what WattTime tries to estimate.

Gentle reminder to read the article
this reminds me of the Head First series of books. I can still recall specific pages from the Head First Statistics book not because of the content but because every topic (and probably page) had a creative visualization.

> I came from the BBS era before Usenet

Unless you were dialing up to CBBS between 1978-1980, i.e. the only BBS in the world at the time, then USENET predates your BBS era, which I would assume like most is really somewhere between 1984-1994, even if BBS existed prior to then and after then.
> If the would-be dragon violates social norms on not being a hoarding jerk, they can be ejected. If your response is now something like "It's not literally one person but they will have guards and police, now what?", this starts getting into the discussion about violence.

Yes, I agree, it's never just one person. And yes, there's probably going to be violence when someone threatens the food supply. But that's exactly one of the things that bugs me about anarchy. It seems to me that it is vulnerable to a group that is willing to use violence in greater intensity (or with greater organization) than the anarchy is able to employ in return.

And if you're going to say that anarchy can decide to do violence, yes, I agree. But it seems to me that centuries of experience have shown that those most effective at doing violence are very thoroughly organized, which seems to me to be kind of the opposite of anarchy.

> So if we're counting up societies that permit extreme wealth differences and those that don't, in the first group we have: today's global society and a handful of historical and invariably brutal kingdoms and empires; in the second group we have: all "small" societies today and the vast majority of human societies before encountering early modern European expansion.

I think that's a rather ahistorical perspective. Take, for example, China or India around 1000. Or Mali, whose emperor Mansa Musa is believed to have been the wealthiest individual in history. Or the Aztec or Inca empires. Or...

I'll give you that the Aztecs and Incas were brutal. I don't know about Mali. But if you're going to say that China and India were brutal, then you're going to have to say that most of history was brutal.

> But do you think that many people prefer associating with people with much different skill, intelligence, education or income? For example, would you like to be on a programming team where you could clearly rank skill from worst to best? If so, I'd be interested in having you walk me through why you think that.

I'm in an ultimate frisbee group where there's some fairly clear distinctions in skill level. It's not quite a strict hierarchy, because skill has multiple axes - someone could be slower but have a better handle. Still, there are definitely better players and worse players. But we just divide into approximately equal-strength teams, and go have fun.

> > Don't put words in my mouth (or reactions in my emotions), especially ones I don't agree with.

> That was a rhetorical statement, a more cutesy way of saying "A, therefore B." I'm sorry if it bothered you.

Well, others here do it sometimes with malice, or at least with manipulative intent, so I've become rather sensitive to it. Sorry if I jumped on you.
"companies want people who are smart enough to do the work, but obedient enough to put up with all the bullshit"

Which is why I love leetcode interviews: I get an insight at how a company, especially tech management, operates. During the dog-n-pony show interview, I will put up with it, but will definitely cast the company in a poor light. I tell companies that I am interviewing with that I will not prepare with leetcode (some will suggest it). I rather spend my time reading higher-level concepts. You know, the stuff that actually helps in modern software development.

I left out the word "big" in my quote. Companies of all sizes do leetcode interviews and want heads down and STFU type of developers.
What is hard about Cache Invalidation
I don't mind this, in a sense its cool because some OSS projects can use this as a way to honor key contributors publicly in ways that are "obvious". I'm thinking also its a way to earn yourself some credibility on your resume beyond just showing your contribution graph in a way that is easily digested (re: quickly).

With that said, and I know GitHub is big and lots of people are working on lots of things, however I feel like whatever energy went into this could have possibly been spent on making the UI more responsive and less wonky. For instance, I still continue to run into issues when opening PR links from the Slack integration where it won't load the CI status correctly, I have to refresh the page every time.

I love GitHub, and I'm not someone who is trying to harsh anyone, and I think this is kind of cool for what it is, however there are many long standing UI / UX issues make this landing a little less exciting.
Another way to interpret that sentence is “it’s better not to spend too much on construction, and it can be better to spend on fuel if it means spending less on construction.”

Building things you don’t need is waste of labor and resources, regardless of the economic system you use or who paid for it. This should be accounted for somehow.
If you want dropbox-like experience, NextCloud can mount external storage (WebDAV, SMB, SFTP, S3, or even another NextCloud instance). Just mount your NAS there and install NextCloud apps on your devices to access them. Some NAS even allow you to deploy NextCloud directly on that machine.
Note that Google's "Frequent rewrites" practice -- see section 2.11 of https://arxiv.org/pdf/1702.01715.pdf -- substantially reduces the severity of this problem (though it requires a good higher-level architecture).

Yes, I agree they're relying on post-hoc reasoning to justify their own place in the industry. All of the grade inflation stories about Ivy League and similar schools and personal experience in the industry with these types don't give me a lot of confidence in the present value of those school names if the dynamics of VC funding change a bit.
> One thing working in complexity’s favor, though, is that engineers like complexity. Admit it: as much as we complain about other people’s complexity, we love our own. We love sitting around and dreaming up new architectural diagrams that can comfortably sit inside our own heads

Where does this yutz work? Because he doesn't speak for me. Generally, I write a complex program because I don't have time to write a simpler one; and when I have to deal with that complexity later I'm like arrrggh. Rube Goldberg machines are fun to watch, but no one wants to maintain, change, or build on one.
This is also exactly what it's for, getting your money back for services not provided after attempts to contact support fail.
Is it really a small niche though? Many 'HPC'-ish creative workloads demand freedom of expand-ability in those ways it seems. I'm hopeful we'll see an Apple Silicon-based Pro that does offers PCI-e expandability amongst others. The Studio simply won't be sufficient for everyone.
You also need to be sitting down and practicing before/after though. Just exposing oneself to recruiters will not be sufficient. You need to practice and reflect - and then practice with real people.

I think it’s similar to playing a sport. Yes, just playing will get you better eventually but if you practice certain drills - you will get better much faster and it can stop oneself from developing bad habits. I think it’s like doing LC interviews - would you just do them all live or would you study subjects and practice problems instead? Practicing problems and studying subjects is way more effective than getting slotted a random problem and doing it live every time where you’re unlikely to learn what you’re doing wrong/right in the moment.
This is inaccurate, GW scale batteries could be deployed today, but because storage is so scalable it's often a better idea to build multiple smaller batteries that help alleviate grid congestion.
Sadly enough, I'm literally scoping out a new feature at the startup I work at that involves rationally splitting text into lines with a max length and buffers with a max line count so we can interface with a legacy system from the late-80s/early-90s

> XML predates the web because, as wikipedia puts it:

> > XML is an application profile of SGML (ISO 8879

That doesn't mean it predates the web... HTML is an application profile of SGML, too, so by your argument HTML predates the web (as it would have to, if XML did, not only for that reason, but because factually HTML predates XML) and is not web technology. This, of course, is silly.

XML was consciously modelled on HTML but generalized for arbitrary data. It is very much web, or at least web-inspired, technology.

Hey all, author is here.
znai is the passion project of mine that I started many years ago and coded mostly during my commute. It started as hack project at one of my work places and later was open sourced and changed domains after I changed jobs.
It does solve documentation problems I encounter on a regular basis with a focus on making it easier to leverage artifacts around you: code snippets, test captured results, diagrams.

One of the most recent releases made it easier to include plots into your documentation: https://testingisdocumenting.org/znai/visuals/charts

Znai also has built-in presentation mode that turns your existing documentation pages into slides so you can share new features of your product on zoom calls. This encourages me personally to write more documentation with an easy to follow flow.
It doesn't matter until the incumbent uses that delay to his advantage by declaring themselves the winner and trying to lead their followers into believing votes counted after that declaration are fraudulent.
More than likely, this is a red flag, not an achievement; or at least one would hope it is.
may be the increases of the last forty years have'nt been studied as thoses of the 60s to 70s, but regulatory costs are still a reality, the french EPR for exemple got a 20billion increase in cost during the construction for changes in security standards.

What sort of app code are you writing where you can keep data, authentication and user data all on the desktop?

Just because you can write a docker-compose.yml (or do without) that describes a system that holds together, doesn't mean the system you've produced stands the chance at SOC2 or whatever standard you hold dear.

Having just finished a 27001 audit, I promise, "we rely on AWS for X" went a lot farther than "we have a homegrown system that does X", every single time. AWS - box checked, homegrown? Let's dig in for two more hours.

Thousands of instances is easy to need - if you have an active CI/CD lifecycle - you just might not need them all at once. Even just one per PR and it adds up super fast if you've got a competent developer team.
Think about how many human lifetimes worth of extra minutes were wasted from everyone waiting for this x number of players X years this has been a problem. Even if you can’t implement bubble sort on a whiteboard in your sleep, 5+ minute load times should have been setting off alarm bells in many engineers heads. I’m sure this did actually cost R* real money. Bounce rates for websites increase 32% for 1s vs 3s load times, according to Google: https://www.thinkwithgoogle.com/marketing-strategies/app-and...
Obviously we don’t have public data on it but I’m quite sure that some at least some people got frustrated with waiting and just stopped playing.
The simplest solution is to take a copy of any public disclosure and send it to the US Patent Office with the request that it be put in the file wrapper for the patent. If the patent ends up being insignficant -- as most patents do -- no one will spend any time on it. But if the patent ends up being the focus of litigation, the people who need the prior art the most will have a copy right in front of them.
Depends who.

For EPR, we're almost over the hump, with the latest projects in Finland and France coming online and becoming fully operational in the near future.

In the US, I would like to watch football games from my favorite team.

This team is in the Pac-12, which has its own media company https://pac-12.com/

My choice is literally just:
1) Subscribe to Satellite, or XFinity(comcast), or sling and make sure I pick a tier that has the Pac12 Network, ABC and FOX (local affiliates that carry some home games) and ESPN, and between them get many of the games live.

I would much, much rather just give my money directly to the pac12 network, and be able to live-stream all of the football games for my teams I like (and basketball, etc)as they happen, but apparently, that isn't a thing.

Piracy is so much easier, because of the business descisions that have been made by media companies to offer 'exclusive' content.

What Vox wrote is a correct statement of fact.

Malapportionment is the creation of electoral districts with divergent ratios of voters to representatives.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apportionment_(politics)#Malap...

You may agree with malapportionment, but that's a difference in opinion over how a legislative body should be designed. Hamilton was not a fan though: Every idea of proportion and every rule of fair representation conspire to condemn a principle, which gives to Rhode Island an equal weight in the scale of power with Massachusetts, or Connecticut, or New York; and to Delaware an equal voice in the national deliberations with Pennsylvania, or Virginia, or North Carolina. Its operation contradicts the fundamental maxim of republican government, which requires that the sense of the majority should prevail. Sophistry may reply, that sovereigns are equal, and that a majority of the votes of the States will be a majority of confederated America. But this kind of logical legerdemain will never counteract the plain suggestions of justice and common-sense. (Fed .22)
I'm fairly ignorant of the situation but from what I understand, wasn't the primary reason for these wallets being seized was because the wallets were on exchanges which need to follow federal crypto/banking rules and regulations?

If the people who had their wallets seized kept them off exchange, or sent their coins to an off-exchange wallet, could this not have happened?
I had not thought of that angle, but maybe the lagrange points are like the garbage patches in the oceans-- natural minima where objects can rest.
Does the PGA tour think they own these players? I find this whole thing to be hilarious, and I think it will be comical to watch the PGA tour start to slowly collapse, if the LIV tour actually starts to catch on. Currently, it seems that they are just pouring money directly into players pocket, seemingly as startup costs. But, the amount of money is so unreal that it is more than top pros have made their entire career from winnings on the PGA tour.

Its also slightly comical that they basically have a smear campaign against the LIV calling the money they are giving them blood money - yet the PGA tour is likely taking money from China, and all kinds of other places that impose similar economic hardships on their peoples.
