That’s a pain, but not uncommon. I’ve heard of big, good companies that do this in some cases. Could be one person was unsure about your performance, or they’re deciding between two levels for you, or even that the person that did your coding interview got fired and didn’t leave notes.

I really wouldn’t overindex on it. Others are saying it’s a bad sign about their internal procedures and culture which, sure yeah it’s not an ideal way to run an interview process. But that might just mean that the HM did it in a previous job and it worked out well, or the recruiting head thinks it’s a good idea, and everything else is fine about the company.

For the sake of an hour of your time and some extra interview practice- just do the interview. If you want, use this thread to guide your questions after you get an offer and figure out whether there are other signs of internal dysfunction. But turning down a job you want because of this one blip in the interview process would strike me as petulant.
Typing allows reduce runtime type-checking. It allows to use faster specialized byte-code. It will help JIT to build faster code.
It's too late for Intel. x86 doesn't have a future, ARM64 SoC architectures like Apple's M1 (TSMC) are the future of computing. Just as fast (and often faster in many benchmarks) with only 20-25% the power consumption and heat. Even Microsoft is preparing for the shift to ARM, at Build 2⁰22 they announced project Voltera, an ARM Windows 11 PC loaded with Visual Studio 2022 and .NET 7 all for ARM to give devs a head start for the coming ARM Microsoft systems. Microsoft will partner with Qualcomm and have their own custom SoC like the M1. Intel is toast (because their CPUs are too hot). This is going to be a massive shift in the PC industry.
I consider it unethical for my tax euros to subsidize an American company.

We can't reply to email questions from gmail users asking for an update on our shipping progress, so in this case, the customer is emailing us and we're not able to reply. We've since reverted to calling the customer to respond. Left a voicemail to one this morning and got a text back: "Don't worry take your time".

Well, if you ever get the chance to work with highly skilled, well paid workers I think you'll be surprised to find that even we have a hard time estimating the effort needed to complete tasks since we are usually doing unique and complex things that have unknowns. I also suggest studying agile methodologies which assume workers are working at 100% and instead of guaranteeing work gets completed according to estimates it tracks work completed and adjusts accordingly.
That's a pretty huge leap. Just because a design existed before regulation doesn't mean you can keep making it after the regulation. I would be surprised if Apple was allowed to keep selling non-USB-C phones manufactured in winter 2024 or 2025. They will likely be allowed to sell existing inventory, maybe offer refurbished phones that aren't compliant.

It is likely to protect against accidental or malicious modification of the data. eg ransomware.

We have seen Slack start investing in this area with their own Workflow Builder they announced last year. One of the big use cases they highlighted was incident response. We haven't ran into any customers trying to leverage that just yet though as still a lot of heavy lifting required.

IMO what makes Slack so power is their app ecosystem. We aren't too worried about them shutting that down or competing with us. We see the awesome folks on the Slack Platform team continue to invest heavily there.

But if Slack wants to seriously compete in this space we'd welcome it. The more attention and competition the better. Most accounts we approach we've found they didn't know off the shelf solutions existed!
I think they imply that they only eavesdropped on channels they cared to bother with, but I also think it's questionable.
At one point in a past life I was in a PhD Applied Math program and one of the professors who was into computer graphics gave a lecture on data visualization. She encouraged us to pick artwork we like and run it through Adobe Kuler to get palettes, because there was no way we'd acquire a taste for colors and complete a PhD at the same time.
I think the point was that high-tech shouldn't be concentrated in one location. What if ASML was in China?
Sort of. But I mean I said it because it's definitively true.

The troll part is because it's also definitively obvious, and I know everyone knows about this, including you. And I can easily form a statement that can't be challenged at all. You're still welcome to prove my statements wrong even though it's impossible.

Obviously you're just not thinking in that direction and you're sort of heavily biased towards modularity and other niche nerd features.

What exists in Australia is exactly what the US has: private payers that get preferential access, and then Medicare for the poor/everyone else. People avoiding appointments they cannot afford. Psi service refusing to take Medicare patients. Unavailable pharmaceuticals in Australia that one can easily access in the US. You even have US-style HMOs.

It’s just a US-lite system compared to Canada (which like Cuba outlaws private healthcare, but has a grey healthcare market because the public system is broke), and NHS(which is broke like Canada, but at least you can pay private).

1) Patients avoiding appointments due to costs, just like the US:

“Almost impossible to get bulk billed’: patients avoid seeing doctors due to out-of-pocket costs”

https://amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/may/12/almos...
Private healthcare is better in Australia:

2) Private healthcare where cash suddenly trumps virtue-signalling on the internet.

Paying cash money? Jump the queue! The poor can languish and die while on waitlists.

“Public patients requiring elective surgery for cancer, heart conditions and other serious health issues face longer waiting times than their privately insured counterparts in public hospitals, according to a new report. ”

https://thenewdaily.com.au/life/wellbeing/2017/12/06/private...

3) Refusal of public patients.

In some cases, physicians don’t even take any Medicare patients -at all-.

Let’s take a rather relevant specialty for this thread, psychiatry:

“Psychiatry costs in particular are prohibitive. One reader reported paying $300 for 20 minutes with a psychiatrist, while another said they paid $900 for the first session and $500 for subsequent sessions. Another reader said her one-hour psychiatry session cost $435, and the Medicare rebate “didn’t even cover half”. Another reader, Jamie, said she had paid $220 and received $76 back from Medicare, but that her initial appointment was $600.”

Congrats! You are paying American rates! Good job Australia!

https://amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/apr/19/like-...

My goodness, isn’t this a huge surprise! Highly trained people want to get paid even in Australia, news at 11. Who could’ve guessed.

Money talks. It’s that simple. Why is that so hard to accept?

Engineers used to move to Bay Area to get the best possible salaries, but we should suppress doctors who even as much attempt to move overseas for bigger pay checks, lol?
There was an article a few months ago using measurements of impacts to license plates and it found a real drop of 60% in insect populations. The license plate is place to measure as it is not really affected by the airflow changes that some people suggest are the reason we see fewer impact.

Here is a news story: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/environment/article/2022/05/10/in-...

With so many insects missing, that is likely to have impacts on other animals and plants that would eventually impact humans. These creatures are food for other animals and pollinators for crop plants.

Beyond that, insect loss is an indicator that something is happening to our environment and the effects are probably not going to be positive. Treat this as a warning.

Edit: added statement about license plat vs airflow
It wasn’t a mistake it was a strategic cost benefit analysis. Many people myself included don’t even use the webcam at all and would rather keep it blocked with a sticker most of the time. If most people statistically don’t use webcam on their MacBook why would it make sense to increase the price to have it? The few times I opened FaceTime app on the MacBook 2020 it looked fine to me anyways. I certainly wouldn’t like paying say an extra $100 for a better webcam I don’t even use.

11 days is a very long response time, but do you really think a quicker response would have changed the end result? GitHub is a massively multi-tenant SaaS. When they have an outage there’s really not much customers or GitHub’s support team can do other than wait for the outage to be resolved.
I try to imagine how society will deal with this. What if deep fakes are so perfect that anyone can generate real-time footage of anyone else doing anything? As a society we’d need to move out of the virtual and back into the physical. Would that be such a bad thing?

I only used 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 floppy disks, and I assume you refer to the 3 1/2 ones as the cover on those was hard. I always thought the 'floppy' part was to refer to the disk itself, which, even on the 3 1/2 ones was flexible, but now you make me question that and perhaps they name just stuck even if they stopped being floppy? I never thought of this because in my country they were referred to as "diskettes" , a word that didn't imply (to me anyway) any flexibility on them.
Wow and you got downvoted too… preposterous. You made a great point.

Use a password manager to that allows custom encrypted vault storage, and gives the installer for free.

Use a basic password to store the vault and installer offsite, with a memorized string of random words that fit together in such a way that you will not forget, bury a paper in your garden.

I recently caught myself hosting a password manager on a home server, with the data stored in sql on the same machine both credentials of which were on the self-hosted server.

Be careful with your passwords folks
I think it would be impossible for humans to walk around at more than ~1.5 g of acceleration for extended periods of time, and even that is asking a lot.

Take the g-force and multiply it by your body weight. That would be how heavy you feel when standing. If you are 70 kg (154 lbs) and under 1.5g of acceleration that is an extra 35 kg (77 lbs) of weight, which is about what we ask a modern soldier to carry. But the soldier gets to set their pack down when they rest, and the weight isn't applied to their internal organs. Perhaps gradual introduction of the acceleration over weeks would allow people to build conditioning, if all the crew is young and very fit.

Go higher and it gets even less plausible. 2.0g is like carrying your twin. Surely this is impossible to sustain for more than an hour or two without some kind of acceleration couch—setting cardiac health aside entirely—and injury would be very likely if you were active.
Ideally, this brings a great deal of domain-specific knowledge to the EU and then the workers of this Intel plant are able to go create their own EU plants with their new knowledge.

Whether or not that extremely ideal scenario actually happens remains to be seen.

> I find it much more likely that we would learn new physics by giving 10-year grants to 1000 young physicist of revolutionary spirit

Not entirely sure how this "lets ignore the knowledge we've accumulated and start over afresh" idea is supposed to mesh with the notion that science is a product that builds on earlier results.

Or are you seriously imagining that there is a cabbal of old researchers that have found a much better way to explore things but for political reasons is keeping it secret?

Why is it so impossible for you to believe that people have done honest attempts at finding new ways to do the fundamental physics they want to explore for decades and keep coming to the conclusion that they'll need big machines to do anything worthwhile on the timescale of a PhD position?

If you're referring to the executive order the previous president issued in Sept 2020, you're only partially correct.

Yes, he ordered HHS to research alternative pricing models. But, the statutory ability to do so was granted by the ACA which the administration and party spent the entire term attempting to overturn, taking it as far as SCOTUS. And HHS eventually declined to implement any changes.

You don't need to create an Intel competitor from scratch. For example the same money can be better invested in Infineon, ASML, Bosch or a number of local companies that work on chips. Or it could be put into RISC-V work.
That’s not the case with other paid products. I’d argue it would reduce click bait since the whole idea of click bait was created as a solution to drive more impressions on a page regardless of the quality of the material. Impressions matter because revenue comes from ads so you don’t give a shit if someone actually reads the article, you just want them to click on it or share it based on the headline. If your main revenue source was being paid by people who wanted to read the full article then you would succeed by creating articles people wanted to read. You have to show a small preview to do this but that’s standard practice now. You could also prorate by number of pages read or number of words if you wanted to be fancy.

No but it is the monopoly supplier of the single most important device for fabs.

If ASML (and all their knowledge) disappeared off the face of the earth today progress in semiconductors would probably be set back a decade or two.

The fact they are a single company in one country that the global industry depends on for progress in semis should be of concern.
Anytime I looked at equipment for anything besides powerline or regular ethernet the prices were too damn high. There's a ton of cable company cable (standard name escapes me aside from"300ohm") that I looked at the cost of reusing for networking and it was a lot more than just slapping on powerline.
Helicopter parent fear of the boogieman. A few messed up kidnappings of children in the 70s caused a news media frenzy and now everyone is afraid of anything that moves.

Heck, a neighbor's small daughter crashed her bike and started crying near me. I went out to help and immediately turned around as a 25 year old dude because honestly I didn't want to go to jail. It's essentially impossible to be a single man alone in the presence of a small child. It's way too risky these days.

We've fallen to commoditization of "the village" services. No more are people taking care of neighbors children out of friendship or helping someone build a fence, etc. We now pay for everything and with that, our duty to our fellow neighbors/man/even family has eroded. We're isolating and compartmentalizing every relationship and every interaction and I personally believe it's the doom of our cooperation as a people in the US.
We use this library for rendering our React components on the frontend (clojurescript). Also, use it on the backend to construct reports and emails.

And the earth is flat, and I refuse to accept any evidence to the contrary.

A simple example of crypto being useful is as a timestamped, censorship-resistant and tamper-proof ledger of cryptographically signed messages. That is one use case for it besides gambling, ergo your statement is easily refuted. I presume you will move the goalposts, though.
From our experience we still see them in a number of deals. I think their focus has shifted more towards SLOs and Microsoft Teams though, areas where we aren't investing in right now.

You seem to be going a long ways to describe “what” while explicitly ignoring “why” and “how.”

To be clear my thesis is that success in both operating models is built on a combination of top down incentive/buy in and broad consensus expressed as a cultural norm. Im not being intentionally obtuse, but Im yet to see any other hypothesis or method of action whicb would explain the differentiation of ability to execute.

It's the usual management excuse when things are going south that hey hired too many mediocre people.
Let's fire the whole team and have a new hiring process so we only hire the top 1%, 10xers. Two hard leetcode in 1 hour (2 interviews like that) and 2 day homework should be enough to weed out the low performers(but actually the process will be optimized to hire desperate devs and new grads).
Similar experience. Often the entrenched interests have no idea how bad things are and will fight you every step of the way. I’ve had a couple of successes but in each of those cases the team was really hurting and glommed onto me like a life preserver.
~80% of the telegram scamming is "technically ethical", meaning they shill to their users they truly believe in the project they promote and it will definitely make them rich if they stick with it.
Then if they rug pull or if it crashes: you have no way of knowing if they rug pulled or if it crashed independently and I suspect a lot of the time it's something in-between.

Yes, lots of the memorization-heavy math from 6th grade and earlier is often useful to most people. Nowhere near as constantly in use as reading, but at least a little is used by most people almost every day. Basic arithmetic, trivial calculations involving percentages or fractions, and (far less) simple variable substitution do see actual use by people not in fields that are extremely math-heavy. Maybe the very occasional area/volume formula or pythagorean theorem, if they're DIYers.

The next 6 years? Not so much. Meanwhile, at least the english classes have stories in them, and the kids might not hate all of them.

> Reading? Yes, the intricacies of clause structure? No, no one uses that besides a few people.

Formal grammar is barely taught at all, now. For better or worse. Drilling spelling words has also fallen out of favor.

> The same arguments against mathematics education can be used for almost anything.

They really can't, nowhere near the same degree. If we ignore that and assume more than a tiny minority of kids will give a shit about math if we just present it to them harder or more mathily, then it's not gonna get better.
