I have now read it. Interesting. The main theme is not entirely new to me; without spoiling anything, I hope I can say that the long-form, not yet finished web comic Gunnerkrigg Court[0] touches on a very similar idea as one of its main themes.

Tell me a “fact” you want represented (or query pattern for finding one.)

All throughout history, the experts disagree with everything said before in a ten year cycle.

The the “Big Bang” for instance. It is junk science. It is fake news. The Big Bang stands for however it started and I have no idea, but wait, it must have gone something like this…

We’re always revising history, and disagreeing for decades over those revisions.

What would be a useful canonical fact? The weather? A sensor observation? A record of topical articles (all of them)?

It seems whatever you’re asking for needs every bit of everything, with an intelligent interface (curated, ranked, filtered, matched, and revision chronolized) for reviewing it.

What you need is a librarian cult, not less content.
A single incident will not give you any sort of sense for how often this happens. It could be luck either way. Might be this was a relatively calm period and it happens way more often in the future or incredibly unlucky and we never see another event for the rest of the mission.
Wow I didn't realise that Andy Weird wrote the short story behind this! Great job by Kurzgesagt - it was really moving.
I think the LC interview measures how determined your are. Are you willing to spend hours and hours to solve boring/meaningless coding exercises in order to pass the interview or not? Because even if you are smart and a good coder if you haven’t seen the problem before it is extremely unlikely to give optimal solution to 2 LC medium or 1 hard problem within 45 minutes. Your only option is to practice.

So if you willing to spend your free time mindlessly practicing, you will be a good ant at the company. Which is very desired since most of business programming is boring and repetitive and does not require creativity.

Also, validating the solution is simple. Does not need too much effort and creativity from the person conducting the interview.
You mean because it's used as an alternative, and the activists' point is that it isn't an alternative.

Rogers itself is an ISP. This order is Bell(also and ISP) targeting all other ISPs in the country.

Finally, I don’t get what purpose your final paragraph adds to the conversation? This is a court order. It has nothing to do with executive action from the government, rather a judge ruling that the ISPs must block pirated sports.
It's funny you assume research is out to prove something. Usually basic research is either observational. i.e. observe a phenomenon without priors as to gather knowledge, or oriented towards hypothesis testing which is testing your models fit to explain reality.
The type of research you assume should be called Adverserial research, fit the research methodology to the desired conclusion. This is not research, it is demagoguery.
It's sad, this may be the most common sort of research...
What these demands are driving up are End Of Line tests performed by the semi companies, and more time you spend on verification the bigger the price of manufacturing.
That's why you can find basically same ICs on DigiKey or Mouser with the only difference being that one is automotive certified and a few magnitudes more expensive.
The manufacturing is, but so much of the magic is also the architecture of some parts of the chip like the x86 translation layer being so performant, and the hardware/software integration that enables an exceptionally smooth user experience for transitioning between architectures.

Kudos to Apple (and TSMC) for executing flawlessly on multiple levels.
That’s the usual tactic of LeetCode haters: find a straw man and ignore the big picture.
It only logically equates if the police budgets are equally distributed. So you're right if Chicago also has the largest police force, and there are no other confounding factors such as a higher base rate of crime due to social/economic context of the city.

I am definitely suggesting spending more money on police though. Both in police employment and in police education. If I were king, I'd introduce a new rank of police officer, that gets paid 30% more and 10% more time off, that requires a year or two extra education, continuous education upkeep and extra scrutiny on their record of interactions (i.e. complaints). Too many complaints, or screw up in some bad way and you lose your rank for 1 to 5 years. Police departments would be required to gradually increase their ratio of the higher ranked officers to 30 to 50%. Just daydreaming though.
I understand what you mean, I could also probably pass the test. But what is the utility in an arcane test like this? If I'm hiring web developers, I'd want them to see how they apply their knowledge to a realistic scenario. There is a real chance that a potentially great hire with decent experience in a desirable technology will fail the inversion task.
What makes you assume those oppressive regimes don't have similar safeguards?
To be honest if I was an employer I probably would do leet code or similar. The logic would be that yes, many engineers are shy or nervous around people. But losing those is worth it since hiring someone bad that you have to fire (that wastes some months of productive time at the company) and then re-hire someone else is definitely worth that risk. Having made something impressive on github is somewhat fakeable since you can get a lot of help from the internet or even copy large chunks (that you may understand but didn't have to invent) from stack overflow. Someone who can do leet code at least have some hard-to-fake ability to reason and work under pressure.

That said, I still don't like doing leet code interviews and I'm pretty bad at them, but that's the logic that imagine goes on in an employers mind (hence why "they're missing out on some types of candidates" logic likely won't sway anyone reading these comments I suspect).
Anyone with a scanner and a day of time can produce infinite digital copies of a book. You don't have to throw money at it like Google and do some crazy AI driven OCR, a boring afternoon in front of a scanner, flipping through pages is more than enough. Source: I wasted way too much time to scan the notes I took as student just so I could throw the hard copies out.
Why would it try to "prove" something, in the sense of trying to argue for a particular policy or opinion? Most research doesn't and shouldn't.

No comment on dog behaviour or policy in a country I don't know, but basic research (and, I'd argue, most good academic research) is descriptive, not prescriptive.
When did they ever stop being a thing?

Have you found a service that can provide you with any movie/series/music/game ever made? Please share with everyone else, since the popular services like Netflix/Spotify/Steam don't really measure up to that standard.
Yes, it does. It shows that they at least shown an interest in this kind of thing.

Bad Education (La Mala Educación) by Almodóvar.
There are many issues with this approach, starting with using the same tools to evaluate vastly different candidates, e.g. a college kid would likely outperform a senior guy in Leetcode questions, so that offers no proof of competency.

It's true it might be inaccessible and that they have telemetry. But if the issue is recurring and you find no solution in the data you gotta walk the line. In fact this time it was the solution but ill grant you its an unlikely event. So you are both right? In medicine you always ALWAYS perform visual inspection of the site no matter how sure you are.
I ended up choosing NodeRed at current job. What does that make me? :)
And that's exactly why I cited it.

What's the enforcement mechanism if the entity writing the rules doesn't control the purse strings? Tie them up in court for 10yr and then when you finally win they just do something marginally different to the same end (i.e. exactly what we see with civil liberties).
I don't speak Portuguese and I use a translator to read it. So maybe it is wrong, but as I found in the link which you mentioned, the tax-free limit is 1000 USD (arrival at the country by air or sea) and 500 USD (arrival in the country by other means of international transport).

My main reason to surprising is the size of the limit. For example, if a person buys a laptop that cost 2000 US, he/she must pay additional fees. Or another situation, when foreign visitors bring their stuff (e.g. MacBook Pro or photo equipment) they also must pay fees. It is weird and awful.

I am from Russia. I am not an expert in import regulations, but as I see tips for travelers, the limit is 10000 USD (50 KG) by air for personal belongings and 500 USD (it is low and it was a surprise for me) by other transports.

In general, the customs fee size in Brazil for hi-tech devices for me looks pretty outdated, because I can see that there are only a few local brands and I don't know but maybe they just use OEM devices from China. And, of course, as I understand, not anyone international computer supplier who does localize their manufacturing in Brazil.

And, as I know, many EU residents when they visit the US buying laptops and phones, because it is cheaper and more models are available :)

> We keep seeing posts like these on HN/Reddit, yet companies keep using them.

Just because you see them, doesn’t mean they’re correct. They’re just a breeding ground for holy wars and discussions. On every post like that you can find tons of “I don’t like them, we need something better and no I don’t know what”. But if you dig into comments you usually find why those type of interviews are done.
This article seems to miss the point of what "existence" means in Buddhism. Using the clay pot example from the text, a Buddhist might say that the pot "conventionally exists" in that that arrangement of clay is there and fits the description of "clay pot" but "ultimately" doesn't exist because it doesn't exist unconditionally. It's a position against certain groups at the time which didn't believe in causality.
Looks exactly like the old opera email client, which i guess is what they were going for. Opera was excellent in the presto days so perfectly good thing to emulate.

I think the royal we here presumes too much on the part of the free software advocates. Nothing against them but GNU software predates linux and the marriage of the two in typical linux distributions was a convenience marriage.

Linus Torvalds wasn't really doing anything else than tinkering with a kernel on his PC and the Gnu tools were there and he respected the license since depending on those tools meant using the license.

The typical linux distribution includes a lot of software; only some of which is licensed under GNU licenses. And of course the most popular uses of Linux are no longer on freedom advocates personal computing devices but on servers, on mobile phones, or in embedded devices/appliances/etc. where there typically is a lot of not so free software. Running that stuff is kind of the point of using Linux: it's a means to an end.

Like Linus Torvalds used the GNU tools, people use Linux (as in the wider ecosystem of packages that come with it) because it's there and does the job. And because it is free as in beer. Only some people use it because they buy into the idealism as well. Nothing against that of course. Freedom includes the freedom to have different points of view.

But the reality is that idealism and business use of software rarely mix well. In a way, GPLv2 was a happy accident in that it had some loop holes that allowed the likes of Google to build Android without leaking their and their implementation partner's proprietary tech. Arguably most commercial usage of Linux on phones, servers, etc. typically involves lots of proprietary software. IMHO that loophole was key to the success of Linux. It's what allowed the industry to back open source with billions of R&D investment and bootstrapped the whole ecosystem.

Arguably a lot of that activity is more centered around less hairy licenses such as Apache2 and MIT/BSD style licenses. GPL has a well deserved reputation for being a PITA to deal with for lawyers partly because of the wording and also because of its fierce advocates.
Expensive DeFi Hacks Are the Price of Doing Business in Crypto
I'm not sure.
Yep, I tanked several interviews because even when I got info at the beginning that "we will look for your way of thinking and this how you handle problems" finally I heard "Yeah, it was OK, but there exist better algo to do it".
But still for sure those interview questions are close to checking raw IQ/algos, and if somebody shines in those probably will be OK employee.
And now it is question of candidates pool size, if you are one of wanted employers like Google, Amazon you may use this filter, you will loose a lot of good candidates who aren't good in algos, but those who will pass your interviews are still good, and you have good amount of those.
Smaller, less sexy companies may have problem finding people with this approach, but bigger and better know probably don't have problems here.

> filter out not dumb, low IQ people who are going to panic when you give a vague, open ended problem

The article addresses this as well. Stage fright does not make someone “dumb”. Slow thinkers aren’t “low IQ”. And reversing a tree likely doesn’t make someone apt for a job.
I think it depends on the perspective (and the state of the market): two scenarios a) "candidates are willing to work for companies, therefore companies have a bit more of control over the whole interview process", and b) "companies are looking for (scarce) good talent out there, therefore candidates have a bit more of control over the whole interview process".

When I was a junior developer I used to deal with a). Now that I have more years of experience I usually deal with b).
You could say this the other way around: China blocks content that violates the law, US blocks content Congress was lobbied (let's pretend that's not a legalized corruption) to block.
I think the point is that if this only exists in Apple World, then really it exists as a little, isolated island, and the entire point of having "anyone with a computer" able to play is lost.

Power to performance efficiency.
OT but does anyone else find their M1 Mac to have very bimodal performance? I have an M1 Macbook Pro (2020 model) and in general it's very fast. It's certainly the fastest web-browsing machine I've ever used.

But when I overload it (dev servers running, Google Meet, Notion / Slack all up) it goes full spinning-beach-ball and sometimes takes minutes to recover. It seems like in particular it's much too eager to give 100% of all cores to something like "npm build" and doesn't leave enough power behind to run the UI. For example it's really common for my music to skip/jump when my code compiles, which is not something I'd expect on any modern computer.

My Intel MacBooks before this and my Windows laptop never have these kinds of issues. They definitely got very slow at times, but never totally locked up.
Tangential question, but how is high speed space travel supposed to work with tiny space debris like this? You hear a lot about how a small constant acceleration can get you to effective speeds for galaxy hopping over time, but doesn't extreme velocity make tiny objects like this a massive threat? Like orders of magnitude larger than they are for current space vehicles? Is that a solveable problem?
I used to ask a lot of questions about HTTP during the interviews. It's really surprising how hard backend developers found it to answer those. Even the semantics of the methods, even though REST API were already commonly used.
> This person should already have enough of a reputation to get a job at many companies, if their work is public enough.

But then why do people with that kind of reputation still (at certain companies) have to jump through these hoops?

> What do you suggest for the 99%+ other candidates?

What about (instead of forcing a months long decision process upon the candidates and the company) bringing them into the company after a short interview (maybe 2hrs), and making sure they can afford housing, food and everything else they need.
If you like their work, they stay employed. If, say after one month, you do not like what you see, you can easily let them go. Of course you tell them upfront what the deal is.

We could call it, I don't know, maybe trial or probationary period.
> Web dev should START with it's underpinnings, not gloss them over as complicated

I disagree here. We don't even start by teaching car mechanics about that fuel injection cycles, we start with "take the wheels off and put them back on again".
I've met a number of "web developers" who were at a fairly fundamental level, incapable of architecting web applications due to not knowing how HTTP works.

It's so important in any engineering to understand what primitives you're working with and building on. With web development, everything is built on an HTTP-shaped pipe, and so anything that isn't in HTTP does not fit down that pipe. This becomes an important concern when dealing with security – any security measures not tied to HTTP in some way (a cookie, a header, etc) are just UI, and can be circumvented.
Burst of underwater explosions powered Tonga volcano eruption
At my electronics engineering school we had access to everything we needed to mass-produce those decoders and did so at a reasonable scale to pay for our studies. That was a lifeline. Knowledge of TV signals gave me my first job, during which I got to work with the guy who designed the scrambling system and had a chance to thank him in person. Small world.
In plain English, that would be a "legal person", where "legal person" can also refer to a group of private individuals that act (commit crimes) as a group, but otherwise do not have/operate a business entity?

Yeah that actually seems like the bigger progress step here. Salary ranges for all positions is great.
This is a tired topic at this point. The mistakes people make are:

1. An interview proces exists to fill a position. It doesn't exist to fairly assess an individual candidate. Candidates would like that. That's not the point. If there are 10 candidates and the employer fills the role successfully, they've achieved their goal even if someone great was filtered out;

2. FizzBuzz came about because many people talked a great game but couldn't code a flor loop. Giving a simple coding problem is an excellent negative filter. Doing great at the problem means nothing; and

3. Interviewers make the mistake of thinking FizzBuzz is too easy so they give harder problems. This is a mistake that defeats the entire purpose of the filter. Stop doing this.

These points remain constant in every such engineering hiring or interviewing thread.
So if the US Republic is thrown over like the Weimar Republic the only question for you is:

Did they not break any laws as defined by the forefathers who wrote the constitution?

I don't really understand this bizarre worshipping of the creation of the US as if it must have been done too well to question. Eternal vigilance is identifying the bugs, talking about them in public and proposing appropriate size patches. Failure to do so is being overthrown by a risk not accounted for by the forefathers, or that they assumed we weren't too stupid to handle.

My suggestion that election fraud by a sworn judge should be dealt with as seriously as treason is in no way the same as someone's secret dialog with co-conspirators to justify undermining all trust in the republic being democratic for their own goals.
You'll always have centralisation in any system, you're just trying to minimise it as much as possible. Mining operations require you to continuously supply to the system at cost, which is completely different to staking that requires extremely minimal to no cost for operation.

Both PoW and PoS have centralisation, but PoS vastly increases this centralisation, does it at a far faster rate, and "locks it in" (there is no feasible way to overcome the most powerful node in PoS, this is not the case thankfully in PoW)
I've been wondering if the Lagrange Point attracts more things to collide with?
Most of it isn't actually that expensive. The examples in the article are extremely rare or perfectly mint copies of very old games. A rare unopened copy of SMB sold for 1.5 million but that doesn't mean a loose Mario bros/duck hunt cartridge with scuffed label is worth more than $5.
Same for some of the old computers i have in my attic, they are worth something but still sub $100, barely worth the effort of going through the trouble of listing and shipping them. Never mind storing them for decades.
