Technically, yes, innocent until proven guilty. In practice, however...

The fact is women are already being prosecuted, and in some cases jailed, over miscarriages. There have been cases already where women have been charged and even convicted, even when it was unclear whether or not they intentionally caused the miscarriage. And don't lose sight over the trauma women will have to endure fighting these types of charges, even if they manage to not be convicted.

Roe V Wade hasn't even been overturned yet and this shit is already happening.
"My first attempt at a benchmark involved allocating and freeing blocks of random size. Twitter friends correctly scolded me and said that's not good enough. I need real data with real allocation patterns and sizes."

"The goal is to create a "journal" of memory operations. It should record malloc and free operations with their inputs and outputs. Then the journal can be replayed with different allocators to compare performance."

I don't think that is sufficient either. You need to mix the malloc/free with the other work, because the other work knocks your allocator data structures out of cache and pollutes your TLB and branch predictor. And loads up the dram interface (eg by the gpu fetching data from it). Etc etc.

Hi Quentin! This is Jade

The loom link at the end 404s for me.
I want to second this, as there are so many people that just simply can't believe how much time and energy some people will put into destroying someone else's life.

And when you ask for help, people think you are the insane one because they simply can't believe your story about the insanity of someone else.

I hope you find relief sometime from your stalker. I found it (not a stalker exactly) from letting the person burn themselves with their behavior so many times without me doing or saying anything in return to them (my strategy of non-direct conflict, and it worked for me), that eventually they ran out of people to manipulate and fool.
Apple's extremely limited specs speak of LPDDR5, which is just standard. They might've chosen to put the controller and power supply from the RAM slots into the CPU and motherboard for reasons, but that's still just a choice.

I don't concur on your 99.9%. Consumers don't necessarily think in upgrading, but in my circles people will generally go to some third party computer dealer and ask them "to make it fast again". This usually includes stuffing more RAM or an SSD (if they didn't have one yet) into an older PC, cleaning up some crapware cruft, and unless the CPU was cheap and shitty (i.e. Celeron, Pentium, the castrated i3 in some products like the old macbook Airs) the system will feel fast and responsive again without spending $2k on a new device. With unmaintainable stuff like Apple's these computer stores will have to tell people to buy a new device. This is not a "small minority", it's more like 30-40% of people in my experience.

Perhaps maintainability of Apple hardware isn't important because if you've got enough money to buy into the Apple ecosystem you've probably got enough money to buy a new one after three or four years.
> That is an often re-iterated conspiracy theory. In practice nothing could be further from the truth. Professors have nothing to gain from weeding out students. They have to gain by ensuring a certain standard. By the way it is also better for a student to encounter the difficult parts of their subject as early as possible, so that they can decide whether they have chosen their subject wisely. On the other hand, not failing students on fundamentals means complicating advanced subjects even further --- for everybody.

So much to unpack there. Some rhetorical hyperbole, other false dichotomy and we are both arguing from anecdote.

Weeder courses exist and as you even admit, they aren't solely meant to educate. That is the point. Anything that is designed to test students resolve as well as not waste professors time is not designed to educate, it is designed to reduce the size and shape of the student population. I applaud that CS departments are adding more and more courses for non-majors. But lets look at the syllabus for a 10 week quarter for the first UW CS course, Foundations of Computing [1] which also expects the students to layout their homework (proofs) in LaTex. Jesus. This is mostly a hazing ritual. In my 3 minute sampling of Reddit, most CS students rank 311 as the hardest course in the major and it is the first. [2]

And that, ladies and gentlemen, goes pretty far in explaining why American infrastructure costs are so high (although I suspect the paperwork burden, NIMBYism, and “citizen voice” are just as important).

I strongly support the Biden Administration infrastructure program. BUT selling it as a “Jobs” program (at a time of near record low unemployment) makes me very wary.
And more expensive to boot.
We all affect each other, a lot of American things have become de facto stands. Anyway, be careful what you wish because it might become real and you might find out that Asia is not the libertarian utopia.

No, the data shows that Tesla vehicles generally have terrible reliability. A Toyota Prius hybrid is far more mechanically complex than any Tesla EV, yet the Prius is far more reliable on average.

But Tesla still sells well for other reasons, so apparently they don't have to care about product quality.
One thing that came to mind, which may be relevant to you or not, do you have the Whatsapp desktop client installed/running? A few months ago, an update seems to have screwed up something that made my Mac much slower and unresponsive when it was open (my gf and my ex had the same issues with WA, the moment they closed WA it was snappy again).
It looks like you haven't been following the guy on Twitter.

> One round, possibly with several people, should be enough.

The onsite, frequently, has 3-5 interviews each an hour long.

On site is after the initial 1-2 rounds of screening.

I have not seen a single company hire with less than 4 rounds ever. Mostly, it's 5-8.
One of the co-creators here.

The toy version of this is like buying a hardware wallet with the Bitcoin in escrow. The eventual flow is more like an ATM. There one kind of already "buys" cash in the form of a service charge (often refunded by one's own bank). Cash is the most common form of peer to peer payment. Bitcoin is the best form of peer to peer money. This combines the two.

It allows for instant, anonymous settlement in regions with poor connectivity (El Salvador, Ukraine.) Lower barrier to entry for very old and very young users. Skips the complicated process of onboarding people into learning about key management - everyone already knows how to keep cash secure. Getting self-custody of Bitcoin is important but usability has always been a challenge. This attempts to solve for some of those problems, particularly in cash economies where Bitcoin adoption as a medium exchange is more popular.

Basically let's get everybody using self-custodial, multi-sig hardware wallets with really, really good privacy properties but make them not intimidating by presenting them in a skeuomorphic cash form.
Sophie Freud, professor who challenged her grandfather’s doctrine, dies at 97
Google did this to me. I did their 5 round gauntlet and they forgot to give a behavioral so I had to reschedule that interview.
I think there's confusion on what a round means. 5 people interviewing you is standard, 5 rounds i.e. 5 days of multiple interviews is insane. I think OP meant 5 people interviewing them and used the word rounds because 5 days of interviews is nuts.
I know it's a bit late to raise this, but you may find it relevant.

> Pull-requests don't have to be proprietary. We just need a standard format.

A standard format for pull requests actually exists - that too as part of git itself [1]. Github decided to just redefine the term like they did with 'forking'. Torvalds was pretty annoyed with this [2]:

> Git comes with a nice pull-request generation module, but github
> instead decided to replace it with their own totally inferior version.
> As a result, I consider github useless for these kinds of things.

While git's PR is designed primarily for email, it can be shared on any medium of text communication. Git's PR can also be made from any random git host, as long as the changes are hosted there. This makes it immediately usable for almost every hosted git repo - especially for sourcehut. No registration required.

> I'm not opposed to using email, but right now the UX/UI looks far too lacking.

Again, a problem with current solutions. Most email clients, especially web clients like gmail are terrible for text mails, threaded views, proper quoting, etc - all of which are necessary for a clean email-based workflow. You have to use something like mutt or astroid, and email workflow becomes immediately more enjoyable. While that's what we have now, it doesn't have to end there. Someone could come up with flashy GUI or web interface that's as pleasing as Github's and email workflow will actually become more attractive than Github's.

> Perhaps Sourcehut could also release an email client specifically for viewing pull requests

Sourcehut is actually working on an email client suited for email workflows, called aerc [3].

> but until then I think it will be difficult to adopt

From personal experience, I find adopting email workflow with neomutt or aerc much easier than adopting git itself. Though rebasing is not a strict requirement for email workflow, email patches look janky without it. Learning rebasing is the hard part, not mailing and applying the patches. But the skill to rebase makes your contributions immediately better everywhere - not just for email patches.

How many people get "the job plus some respect" for saying they're not prepared to finish the interview process?

Only situation I can possibly imagine that being the case is high powered executive being headhunted from a rival (or if its a "happy to have a further call to discuss the offer we made, or for you to come in and meet the team before you make your mind up" situation) not a dev being set additional coding challenges because someone somewhere in the process isn't quite sure about their relevant skill level [relative to another candidate] yet.
> Will EU block innovation?

Innovation is overrated. And standardising is not blocking.

What we need more urgently than innovation is to stop creating so much waste, extracting so much stuff from the earth, and in general reduce consumption. Standardisation accomplishes at least some of that.
Fixed, thank you for catching that Jade!

Passports usually have, at least, your finger prints in the chip. And as I said, they have tons of data on you (pics, medical stuff, telecom, etc). It all depends on how ez it is for the competent administrative services to access those databases (do you really think the MI6 does not have access to those database?)

Why do you think having microsoft having access to the global networks of IT professionals via its owned linkedin database is something that should not even be possible?
Why not publish that uuid (not yours but generally)? If the file is properly encrypted why not keep it in a public GitHub repository for example?
I'm a Software Engineer from Germany, living in Switzerland and Germany.

Working in tech you'll have more than enough to live a very good life in Germany. While the absolute amount may not be as much as in the US, the amount relative to the average person will still be very good, particularly if you choose to live in the countryside, but also if you choose to live in the city.

Quality of life is very similar to Amsterdam / Netherlands, so you don't have to expect huge differences there. Bavaria is a bit more on the traditional side, and you might actually notice that (e.g. shops close very early / not at all on Sundays). While shops in Germany are generally closed on Sundays, they are open late in many of the other states (10pm, or even 12pm in the cities).

Career prospects are good to very good, particularly in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg (neighboring states), which are the most prosperous states in Germany. In the countryside, you may have to resort to Home Office or working in a Mittelstand Unternehmen, though. Most larger cities have a small startup culture if that is your thing.
Jordan Peterson was right to be afraid of compelled speech:

I would not say 100% dysfunctional. I had a similar case in my company. I was looking for a new team member. Found 2 persons but only had one open position. I referred one of the candidates to another team lead who wanted to talk with that person before an offer was made. In my opinion thats totally fine.
They talk about detection methods a little in their FAQ:

https://w3techs.com/faq

PHP probably gets a lot of extra hits in places it might not be used a whole lot. For a long time web host providers had it pre-installed by default. Plus wordpress is used a lot and they can detect that from the admin/edit page.
I see a few use cases depending on the password manager. For local, it probably doesn't add too much.

For cloud-based solutions, it mitigates the risk of having your master password snooped when typing it in public.

A key premise of this comment -- that the "concerned.tech" open letter only complains about public blockchains (with the insinuation being that some of the people involved are only doing that because their own private-blockchain companies are threatened by public blockchains) -- seems to be false.

Almost everything the open letter says about blockchains is neutral on public versus private. There are two exceptions. (1) They say that public blockchains specifically are a privacy disaster, which seems fair enough since this genuinely is a difference between public and private blockchains. (2) One paragraph refers to "blockchain technology, specifically so-called "public blockchains". (The paragraph suggests that advocates of such technology have "latched onto concepts such as financial inclusion and data transparency", which so far as I know is in fact true of public blockchains and not true of private ones.)

You keep talking about "the folks at Adjoint" etc., but it looks to me as if Adjoint have simply gone out of business. E.g., their website no longer exists. This seems to me like sufficient explanation for why Seng and Diehl are no longer describing themselves as associated with Adjoint. Do you have evidence for whatever more sinister "long utopian conquest" scheme you're suggesting they're engaged in?
I haven't found the safety data, but was very surprised when my new car was way cheaper to insure than my old one. I assume the insurance companies have the data.

This may not be safer as in better crash resilience, but safer as in you have a backup camera, and side sensors for changing lanes.
I second this. I'm frequently using the volkswagen ID.3 and there is no way to unplug it unless you unlock it from charging station with the card you find it in the car (at least in Berlin).
Life would go on and companies would adapt after the initial shock.

So MANY of these discussions are pointless when we've had huge changes in the past and 5 years later people can barely remember the past discussions.

Fear of change is huge, the impact of the average change is in general quite small, in the medium to long term.

USBC can be made to be "MagSafe". When Apple only sold laptops with USB-C ports there were a bunch of MagSafe knockoffs sold for laptops. Although most of the time they would break eventually but it's not impossible. If it just was a special cord as long as you could use a regular USBC cord it seems like it would be compliant but IANAL.
Photonic Chip Performs Image Recognition at the Speed of Light
If you have to interview someone 6 times to quantify technical aptitude, don't hire that person. You shouldn't be on the fence after 5 interviewers.

Needing to check the technical aptitude of someone after 5 previous interviews means your interviewing process is broken, or you're trying to convince yourself that a weak candidate is good enough. Neither option is a ringing endorsement of decision making at the company.
It depends on the position. 5 interviews for an entry level job isn't standard, especially if the fifth was unplanned. Of course if you're applying for a leadership or management position then it's different, but it's generally not a bunch of live coding sessions, more interviews with team members or executives.

> Are they reliable

well, depends on the company.
Bavaria, for the following reasons, IMHO:

1. Family in a quality German rural setting: Over the long term, healthy and functional family relationships are meaningful source of fulfillment, and make everything else in your life just a little bit easier. In combination with the quality rural life in many areas of Germany, it is a healthy foundation for friends, family, and children.

2. A geographically independent career: Depending on your career choices, and if money is a priority for you, you can make great money while being geographically independent. There are many different ways to accomplish this depending on how much time/effort you wish you invest, and which options you would consider.

3. Quality of life: While I am generalizing here, IMHO, the quality of friendships, family, and social connections is better in Bavaria than California. Of course this depends on your exact situation, which street you are living on, where your family & friends live, the social infrastructure of the town, etc etc.

4. Better health and safety in Bavaria: as can be found in public statistics.

5. Social development for children in Germany: For the most part, I find the quality of the social upbringing and education system in Bavaria better than California (again, generalizing, as there are bad and good patches anywhere). Speak with a few high school graduates from California and from Bavaria, and note your observations. For example I observe: How mature are they as young adults? How well-adjusted are they? How grounded do they seem?

Background: I am a career mentor with long-term US and German experience.
I propose that they should restructure or go out of business, in the same way as a payday loan company might go out of business if it becomes impractical to offer usurious loans. I wouldn’t support anything like a Bitcoin Confiscation Act, but I fundamentally reject the idea that we can’t impose strict regulations on bad financial products without paying off the people who’ve invested in the unregulated version.
Hope you enjoy your stay/life in N. GA. It's where I was born and raised. Don't forget to go swimming in a lake this summer. lol
Yeah, given we have to manufacture the notes we are indeed selling them -- a bit odd. With scale this comes down significantly.

For folks who want to hold/save/gift Bitcoin over USD, this is an easy way to do it.
Germany, without a doubt. California is going to get pretty ugly when the water runs out, which is already happening.

Keep the keycard from a motel around, not only can you use them to open many poorly designed doors without breaking your actual credit card[0], they're great for scraping crap like that off windshields.

Just heat up water in the microwave (being sure to poke the thing with a wooden chopstick or something in case it explodes, though 30-60s should just make it extremely warm[1]) then dump it right on there, then scrape that crap off and use napkins from McDonald's or whatever to get the mess off.

[0] I won't detail how - I taught someone how to do this to avoid lockout fees freshmen year, he allegedly broke into some woman's room to "prank" her who he was NOT friends with, then I had to sit through a dressing down by res life as the RAs continued to do pretty much the same thing, repeatedly, but to look for liquor rather than invent a cute reason to only "prank" the hotties from the soccer team. (Even autistic hackers notice when your invasions of privacy only involve people you want to... "date".)

Where I live, the DMV will issue you a new driver’s license without any accompanying documents. They use facial recognition to verify your identity. This brings its own issues to the table, but it solves this problem.
I think you should take the interview. I bet they had a debrief but were on the fence because of something specific like being unsure if you know relational DBs or something.

They’re looking to test for that specific thing, in my experience when this happens it’s usually pretty easy to pass.

Of course if you’re on the fence yourself I also think it’s reasonable to use this as justification for not taking the role. Plaid had me do 2 separate full day on sites and I rejected them for that reason alone.
