The test is not purporting to be a percentile distribute of engineering talent, it's a percentile distribution on that specific test. Certainly it's reductive, but if it's highly correlated with engineering talent it's a useful signal. I don't really see the problem, and the alternative (every company come up with their own subjective assessment) doesn't seem much better.

That's reasonable, and the GDPR doens't stop you from doing that, but it does mean that you must tell the user that you're loading it from a third party, ask permission to do so, and list the data that you're sharing with that party in exchange for them providing those resources.

You say share as needed, but I’ve not found a great way to just grab it to the clipboard or get the file handle from there.

My go to workaround is to screenshot, annotate, screenshot the annotation tool into clipboard and paste that. (I know)
The cross became a symbol of Christianity because Jesus was crucified, not the other way around.

Moreover, crucifixion is just a pragmatic approach to traditional public executions. Many societies have used trees and walls to hang, kill and display the executed their necks broken, beaten to death, lashed, lynched, asfixiated, left to die of thirst or exposure... the method doesn't really matter, the point is they are there for everyone to see.

IMO, your proposal should separate emergency care, "capital investment", cosmetic, and routine healthcare. Cosmetic & routine should be more market-driven. However, emergency care is unplanned by definition (so can't be properly budgeted for). "Capital investment" would cover the range of expensive procedures ranging from "needed within the next five years to prevent an early death from cancer, but otherwise not time-sensitive" to expensive quality-of-life upgrades, such as knee replacements. Emergency & investment services would need something other than pure market pricing.

I teach antitrust to grads and undergrads.

It doesn’t do anyone any good to call any of these firms “monopolies.” It’s not accurate, not for any of them.

Nor was monopoly the issue in the Microsoft case (that was about bundling).

There may be reasons to look at antitrust law and to change it with some of these firms and their behaviors in mind but “vertical monopoly” isn’t an accurate characterization of any of them.
Seems like a great bit of information for you to have. And if it's in the 30th percentile, it may let you know to either not apply to jobs that want that skill, or work to improve.

Get out into nature as much as possible.

Unplug for the internet for hours or days at a time when you can. Digital minimalism practices. No screens 2 hours before bed time.

Exercise, yoga, meditation, breath exercises (i.e. Wim Hoff method), cold water exposure.

Cut out sugar from your diet; eat healthy home cooked real (whole) foods.

Intermittent fasting. Just completed my first 72 hour fast, and have never felt so equanimous. (Don't recommend doing this out of the gate, I've been building up towards this goal for ~6 months of progressive time restricted eating).

Spend quality time with friends and family.

Map out a life plan for the next 5-10 years of your life, and break that down into small actionable supporting items for the next 1-3-6-12 months.

Copper is toxic though. Especially bad with acidic drinks which a lot are.

This is one of many reasons why hospitals charge so much. Medical debt is extremely difficult to actually collect because refusing to pay has basically no consequences. Hospitals have to eat those costs and make up for it by squeezing patients who do pay for as much as possible.

I did the same thing with an ER bill I couldn't afford a while back. I just never paid it and suffered virtually no consequences.
I learned from this that there’s a Debian package that gives me definitions from the justly renowned 1913 Websters, and installed it right away! (The comment on the OA is correct: it’s `dict-gcide`. This is great.
I knew someone would mention this and almost didn't make that post, but it definitely is true that this is not a new area of study. He is basing some of his wild bullshit on reality. I don't listen to him so I don't know how much but when I first heard the gay frogs stuff I just thought that this was a known issue and couldn't figure why anyone would be highlighting it. I guess if your audience is that group of people who have never picked up a magazine or cared about science then it is pretty easy to find things to excite them about.
I mean, there's nothing I can say or do to ever convince a person to see my viewpoint once they have decided that someone's race decides their value.

There are no magic words, no sudo "be a kinder person" command, no entreaties, no begging, no threats, no guile that can convince someone on the internet who has decided to take a confrontational stance to stand down, or reconsider.

If you act racist on the internet then you are racist. If it quacks like a duck, it's a duck. Where there's smoke, there's fire.

It is a safe assumption that they are here to try to rile people up and make people upset and have no interest in speaking fairly or changing their position under any circumstances.

I am no more interested in the feelings of either racist people or the people who choose to act like them than I am with the quality of your coworker's friend's pet's bowel movements.

If you enjoy making people upset on the internet by spewing racist rhetoric then I hope your conversations constantly get derailed.
Tip: Turn your phone off before you leave the house. You can carry it with you, but it's mainly just for emergencies. If you do want to use it, you have to wait for it to power back on.

This allows you to shift your attention back to the world around you, instead of everywhere else. It also means you leave fewer geolocation footprints for tracking.

Thanks! I direct linked into the product because the HN post had some of those details, but you can see a lot of that on the marketing site: https://livefortunately.com/

I appreciate your benchmark and was interested to learn about how QuestDB processes TSBS queries efficiently. I work extensively with ClickHouse and it's always enlightening to learn about how other databases achieve high performance. Your descriptions of the internals are clear and easy to follow, especially since you included comparisons with older versions of QuestDB.

That said, I think I can understand how some users might be a little put off by the comparisons. Your article effectively says "ClickHouse is really slow" without giving readers any easy way to judge what was happening under the covers. I was personally a bit frustrated not to have the time to set up TSBS and dig into what was going on. I therefore appreciated Geoff's effort look up the results and show that the default index choices didn't make a lot of sense for this particular case. That does not detract from QuestDB's performance at least from my perspective.

Anyway congratulations on the performance improvement. As a famous character in Star Wars said, "we will watch your career with great interest."

IMO, this is a product for five years ago, when sites like figma were beyond the capabilities of most machines. Looking five years ahead, most of their potential users (higher income or working at companies able to afford the subscription fee) will have moved on to M-series machines from Apple. Intel and AMD will probably also have catched up far enough to be able to efficiently handle most use cases, for companies that cant or dont want to switch to macOS.

Honestly, as much as I admire the energy of their founder, I think this product should have never gone far past the idea phase with Apple experts like Rene Ritchie having predicted the integration and performance benefits of Apple Silicon since the first rumors came up many years ago.
Idk, as a company I would still want to run my interview, and candidates would probably hate the double interview. Pre interview would also get stale fast.

Companies wouldn't trust a third party to run binding technical assessment for them, and quality devs would probably avoid places that hire without having someone from the destination team show up

I think the opposite would be more beneficial: a light check to validate work claims and some high level foundational question about code just to make sure one has basic proficiency in what he claims he has

Then companies would need lot less hr pre-screening and could focus in technology and culture matching
Those insrtruction latencies are in addition to the pipeline created latency. (They are actually the number of cycles added to the dependency chain specifically). The mult port has a small pipeline itself of 3 stages (that why 3 cycles latency). Intel has a 5 stage pipeline so the minimum latency is going to be 8 for just those two things.
Not really. I guess it’s about disruption of the person’s lifestyle and he/her liking for cats vs the actual welfare of the cats - how having good intentions alone is often insufficient. I would put the current number of cats at 10, plus other future cats.
> A slow set-up function at level start would build the code

Interesting, and good thinking :)

IIRC, when we used this technique on the C64, we didn't build the code during init at runtime, we actually built the code in the dev environment, using macros, so it got built at assembly/compile time. So we skipped the small time hit at runtime init, at the expense of a slightly longer load time for the user (and a tiny bit longer on our assembly/compile times, although that was fairly negligible cos we were building on PCs).

I think you're missing the wider point.

The point is that employer-employee relationships are inherently imbalanced. A corporation has far more freedom to make choices like that than their employees.

No, you can't just "get another job" if all the companies are abusing employees in the same way.

The fact that corporations are set as mini-dictatorships never made sense to me. Everyone's at the mercy of the whims of the CEO.

Karl Marx said that workers should own the means of production, and this is exactly the kind of thing he was talking about. In capitalism, shareholders have more power over the company than those doing the day-to-day work who know the business, and those shareholders could easily tell Musk to tone it down if they wanted to – and Musk would listen.

The employees could never sway him. "Take it or leave it," which really just means "go work for the other asshole."

I think it wouldn't be such a bad thing if corporations had mandatory employee democracy on certain workplace issues. I think the ownership class has too much power over the individual. Just because you own assets shouldn't mean you get to play games with people's livelihoods.
If you sampled from a pool of now defunct software projects, or all software projects that were made in some year, you could make some estimate of the survival probability of software projects that are current. But if you can't draw an Kaplan-Meier curve, it's unclear to me how you would assert there exists a survival function that could be inverted.
Can you elaborate? What are some reasons that make it obvious?
There are commenters below going on about tech cliques and the 80s D&D scare. This ain't that.
I had a similar experience, but when they rejected me, they sent me links to some tutorials for "Getting started with HTML and CSS". I had 8 years of experience at the time.
No, I'm suggesting that your original example was a great example of obfuscated Python. Even supposing that you wanted to alter the total number of values generated and the number of initial values to skip, you're doing unnecessary work and made it more convoluted than necessary:

def some_example(to_skip=2, total_count=3):
return [n * 12 + 1 for n in range(to_skip, to_skip+total_count)]

There you go. Change the variable names that I spent < 1 second coming up with and that does exactly the same thing without the enumeration or discarding values. In a thread on how computer speed is wasted on unnecessary computation, it seems silly that you're arguing in favor of unnecessary work and obfuscated code.
Is hiring discrimination alleged to have happened? IIRC, the only decision that is noted in the blog post is the promotion of Dan (who is not in the cult), and the mysterious termination (for which we have no context or details, and the author feels it was orchestrated by the aforementioned Dan).

While I'm sure there's lots of be concerned about with respect to the cult, I'm not sure it's Google's business to ask about and evaluate religious affiliations when hiring (I'm fairly certain this would be illegal?). There are plenty of ways that you can get a shop of closely related people that are more innocuous than hiring discrimination; for example, suppose the cult members worked together as a freelance group that Google used, and they decided to offer them jobs in order to bootstrap GDC. This exact situation would happen if Google acquires a company from a place with a relatively homogenous ethnic or religious makeup -- it is unfair to immediately assume that this is a result of a discriminatory hiring practice. (It's also possible that there are questionable decisions, but I think it depends a lot on the specifics.)

Probably true to some extent though from what I have read of his trials and his programs he evidently has no problem just telling a story that is not based on facts at all just to see how much of a rise he can get from his audience. He just apparently used facts in this case.
The trade-off is more of a gradient: e.g. PGO allows an instrumented binary to collect runtime statistics and then use those to optimize hot paths for future build cycles.
Absolutely, I've always held karma both on here and reddit as a resource that is to be spent when needed.

Work like this proves that assumption-questioning research on its own can produce incredible results if done by the right people.

Fact that my work is completely dependent on proprietary SW (Adobe) and os (Win). Every update brings me questions like... Should I switch my profession to be more independent? Every update brings features that I don't need, have to pay for it, need to update to fix/broke things, send more data, be more online, etc. Those companies shape my workflow, literally dictates me how to create. It may sounds trivial, but in large scale, there is no freedom.
It's questionable, and it blocks a lot of legitimate traffic.
I’ve been following Musk on Twitter for a few months and I haven’t seen anything worth condemning. His tweets often seem like thoughts off the top of his head, ie not written by a PR employee. It feels like the issue people have is with his tone. Perhaps people aren’t used to seeing public figures who doesn’t meticulously manage their image.

Almost everyone is beholden to an employer, a committee, or an oversight board of some kind so we all have to censor our public thoughts to a huge extent. I think some people are upset that Elon doesn’t have to, and they’re upset that he’s “above the law”.

Woke culture truly is the new church.

Thoughts on Epistemology and Rising Appearance
Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX Hit with $258B Dogecoin Lawsuit
It's interesting to me that two of the top three comments right now are talking about gaining performance benefits by switching from Python to C when the actual article in the link claims he gained a speedup by pulling things out of pandas, which is written in C, and using normal Python list operations.

I would like to see all of the actual code he omitted, because I am skeptical how that would happen. It's been a while since I've used pandas for anything, but it should be pretty fast. The only thing I can think is he was maybe trying to run an apply on a column where the function was something doing Python string processing, or possibly the groupby is on something that isn't a categorical variable and needs to be converted on the fly.
I think that's the part that removes the shadow.

2. Since I already have a Screenshots folder in my dock that displays as a fan, and is sorted by most recently added, I click "done" on the annotated screenshot, then I can click on that folder in the dock, and it's right there, ready to be dragged into any other application.
After reading that article back in the 90's I lobbied the wife hard to get rid of the microwave, replace the tupperware with glass or ceramics, and to stop buying prepared foods in plastic bottles and containers. It took nearly 10 years to get rid of the microwave. The other things were easier since glass, stainless steel, and ceramics are easier to manage in a kitchen anyway. Finding prepared foods in glass bottles like tomato sauce, soups, etc is more difficult but we manage.

PNG should be just as good at gradients as it is at constant color: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics#Filt...

It can encode the difference to the previous pixel either up or above (or some combination). In purely horizontal or vertical gradients that's just as efficient as encoding constant color (and in fact, the Wikipedia page shows an example). For gradients in other directions, it depends on how homogeneous the slope is (because it will zip the diff to the previous pixel, i.e. the slope).
