As someone who is 98% done with my CS degree, at a decent school, I think that 50% of fellow graduate cheated or had enough help from roommates to the point where a CS degree doesn't mean anything.

I once found myself in a small friendship that I found was fake (recognized someone from a large group project in my algorithms class) and he asked me for help on a problem so I went to meet him with the intention of helping while still following the academic policy. It then turned out to be 8-10 people all around a giant table passing a laptop around giving different problems a try. I subtly asked how they didn't get caught and they said they would complete a pset, distribute it to everyone at the table and on their own time would change things around.

Actually, if you get stuck on any problem you can just go to office hours and I've even seen TAs just typing code on a student's laptop.

My roommate TA'd a 4000-level class once and said that a lot of assignments looked similar to each other but no one went after anybody for honor code violations.

I absolutely believe it's possible to graduate without knowing much about CS or programming.

Also, use SIMD - I think even AVX can do byte level paralellism for 256 and 512 bits at a time?

"After all, these new directions brought the PC almost up to the same spec that other computers had been enjoying ten years ago." - this is simply not true. Apple, main competitor of PC's, still had years and years ahead to gain preemptive multitasking. Windows NT and even 95 were significantly ahead of competition.
Rationality doesn't work when studies have repeatedly found virtually no correlation between 'someone good doing hiring as they like' and good candidates in the context of retention, performance, and more.

Even rationally it doesn't make much sense. You're judging people on what they do in a year given how much an individual likes them and believes them to be good given a day's worth of input. Even if such an individual finds a lot of 'good' hits, nothing would tell them if it was this particular selection mechanism, other selection mechanisms, the workplace, luck, or none of them. The same goes the other way around for 'bad' hits.

Not to mention, if rationality worked, we'd see 'years of experience' have great correlation with 'good' candidates. Yet YoE always fails to contribute greatly given the presence of other metrics.

Things I forget and should't
It depends. I had a Psion 5 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psion_Series_5) and spent a lot of hours typing texts and emails, and even doing "Excel" things, like creating a table for calculating "pilot things" (weight and balance, navigation). I even had a top-of-the-line 13 inch thin form factor laptop at the time but did not miss it enough, and often preferred to just take the Psion with me.

My current Dell 2-in-1 15 inch makes me miss the correct key when typing far more often than the Psion (who had the glorious idea to squeeze a numeric keyboard on there??? and I could not un-select it, since this device was a replacement for a failed earlier-generation 2-in-1 that Dell could not repair, which still had a normal keyboard). I almost never missed hitting the correct key typing on the Psion 5.

It worked for me because my use cases did not benefit from seeing more. Even the "Excel" tables were pretty small. If your use case benefits from seeing much more screen at a time, such as in programming, such a small form factor is no good. Even my 15 inch laptop often feels too small when using an IDEA IDE, for example.

Is there a difference in the interview process between the US and the EU? Wherever I applied to in the EU I was almost always given a small, practical programming exercise relevant to the field I was applying for and for which I had a few days to hand in my solution (usually they were quick to solve, depending on the level of polish you would put in). In the interview itself we would then discuss the implementation and that way I got to know the team I'd be working with and they could see if we were able to discuss and explain code.

I've worked in this industry for many years. Everything you see or read is all being controlled by the manufactures of the ingredients + the manufactures of the product to finally being label under controlled agencies by them.

I'm not being harsh , or stating that openfoodfacts is not good or the info you get is not real / valid. they basically have what they gave them.

The industry (food and cosmetic) is in the paleolithic era , everything is being send and share on .csv or with proprietaries API (exam Nilsen), data aggregators using GS1 which is horrible, being parsed by some kind of ML algos that companies are writing , trying to uniform product data, trying to correct typos , clarify if the formulas are harmful for humans or not base on years of multiple studies and proprietary logic, that change more often than not. It Is a mess

There is a lot of good intentions, a lot of good people that they really care and want to change the market to create better products (starting from creating better ingredients) but honestly is not going to happen any time soon. Is just simply too big of an industry with years of legacy.

The only light I see is to start from 0, new small brands that may manufacture cosmetics and food and they can control what is being engineer inside , and they can store data in modern DBs and using Modern API design to expose the data and allow corrections. Is the only solution I see.

I've also felt that struggle between employees and managers in Europe. It's usually that employers set a minimum #days in the office and employees would like less office time. But I've heard of very few companies that are going back to 100% office. Even 2 days home office is viewed as restrictive now, whereas before very few places even allowed 2 days per week.

When using self-hosted, first-party analytics, maybe. But when using a third-party I strongly disagree.

> No PII was sent with any request and IP Addresses were anonymized, which means they couldn’t have possibly tracked an installation to a particular machine.

False. The IP address and the fingerprint of the host's TCP & TLS stack was sent. It's up to the receiver to decide whether to "anonymize" those.

> Unless Google is explicitly lying, there is no way anyone involved could say Person A installed Package B. [emphasis mine]

Why do you think that wouldn't be the case? Google (and others) have a proven track record of breaking the law when it comes to privacy. For 4 years after the GDPR went into effect they intentionally shipped a non-compliant implementation. Facebook lied and ended up using 2FA phone numbers for advertising purposes, and so did Twitter.

Instead of looking at whether a company would lie or not, I'd suggest looking at any reasons that would push them to lie. The fact that their entire business model relies on stalking everyone for ad targeting should be a good enough red flag. They also wouldn't be offering Google Analytics for free to everyone unless they benefited from it somehow.

> But if my app/website is small and does a very specific thing, it’s hard to imagine how one can probe into their behavior by tracking their usage.

The concern here isn't your own usage of analytics, it's more what the analytics provider (or anyone who compromised them and got access to the data) can infer from the data (including from other web properties you don't have access to). This is exactly why Google offers analytics for free - at a small cost of offering developers an analytics service, they get a view of users' behavior across the vast majority of the web.

> Of course, you have a reason to not trust a big corporation. However, a public company, that’s already on the antitrust radar, doesn’t have a good reason to outright lie publicly.

Just like they wouldn't have a good reason to intentionally breach the GDPR for 4 years?
Sounds like extortion…
Yes, those two data points are trivially true. I’d perhaps argue that Italy is also a high-income country, but I’m not sure if it matters.

My point is that the author is trying to make an argument for deregulation of the housing market. Yet he is failing to actually state his argument.

How exactly do these two maps support an argument for deregulation?

And how do your two data points support it?
> they want full vertical control from the Zircon Kernel all the way up to user space.

Of course, I have been saying that for years.

Contrary to the 'Fuchsia is only an experiment', 'Fuchsia is going to be shut down' coping crowd, in fact, Google has been much further than once thought with developing Fuchsia and it is going to start with replacing Linux with Zircon in ChromeOS next, probably in 3 to 4 years.

Also explains why they already have the Chrome browser running in Fuchsia. So there is no doubt that they are intending to use Zircon in ChromeOS.
> Never in my entire career have I whiteboarded a solution that even remotely survived contact with software frameworks, APIs and hardware constraints. A hundred different gotchas and restrictions lay in wait.

Not sure about this. Past a certain level of experience (and given some prior knowledge of the system being worked on) I’d expect someone’s white boarded designs to come out close to the mark at least some of the time. Not always, maybe not even half the time, but “never in my entire career” would surprise me.

The fundamental problem with "penumbras" is that once you allow that as a way of reasoning, pretty much anything goes. At which point the Supreme Court becomes an insanely powerful body for something unelected and with a lifetime tenure, and SCOTUS nominations become worthy of scorched earth mode of political warfare.

Thing is, we have the constitutional amendment process for a reason - it is supposed to be a living document, true enough, but it's supposed to be updated through political process, not judicial. The problem, of course, is that the bar for amendments is so high that they become impossible in practice; but it's also impossible to fix that without an amendment. Thus, so long as enough political forces believe that the status quo is preferable to other options, it'll remain that way, and we'll see increasingly contorted Supreme Court decisions to reach goals of whatever party controls it at any given moment.

That leads to another problem, which is that SCOTUS, and the system as a whole, rapidly lose legitimacy. At this point, it already doesn't matter much whether any given decision is legally sound or not - it will be supported or opposed consistently along partisan political lines. The same people will castigate the judges for "inventing" rights in one decision, then blame them for not buying into the rights "invented" by other judges. I don't know how much longer we have left, but this passage from Federalist Papers (#22) comes to mind:

"... two thirds of the people of America could not long be persuaded, upon the credit of artificial distinctions and syllogistic subtleties, to submit their interests to the management and disposal of one third."
I dug up the citations for Kee:

> In October of 1973, Bushnell decided to grab as much market share as possible by signing exclusive contracts with distributors in each geographic area to buy only Atari games.
Because most geographic areas had two distributors, Bushnell separately (and semi-secretly) created Kee Games, named after Bushnell friend Joseph Keenan who became president of the company. Kee would sign exclusive contracts with the second distributor in a geographic area. The games that Kee and Atari produced individually were eventually released by both companies with unique names and some cosmetic differences.

> Spike Was Kee’s copy of Atari’s Rebound. Kee’s products were mostly copies of Atari’s games with innovative features added to differentiate them from their Atari cousins, and create the feeling of a “rivalry” between the two companies.

> Tank was the game that saved Atari from bankruptcy in 1974. The game became so popular that the exclusivity agreements Atari demanded from distributors were thrown out the window. Everybody wanted it, and Atari made sure they got it. Bushnell’s cash flow problems at Atari were suddenly reversed. Atari and Kee merged at the end of 1974.

What is they point of your link? The information was made public, but no one whose information was disclosed had any known negative outcomes of that happening.

It seems like evidence that a registry is fine: apparently even when a registry is public it didn't result in the owners being "targeted", so a private registry visible only to law enforcement would be surely even safer than that.
Netflix's mail-order service was bar none one of the best things that ever happened. They had a very, very good film and TV library. We would receive 2 DVDs at once, usually watch them and send them back, sometimes on the same day. It was really easy to use, too.

The library was clobbered at some point, or maybe slowly over time. What happened? They don't even have 1/10th of what they used to have. It's not surprising people are unsubscribing.
When I first learned about escaping to avoid SQL injection, I was suspicious the whole concept was demented — why can’t I just tell the database that this thing isn’t SQL code?

Then I learned about parameterization, and had my suspicions justified but I didn’t understand why it wasn’t the standard answer.

Finally it turned out PHP mysql lib apparently didn’t support it for ages, and thus young minds have been poisoned by the ridiculous notion of string escaping for decades.

It's still a thing even today with shit like html escaping; I don’t understand why we’re so explicit on so many things in programming, and then as soon as we try talking to another system we just drop everything back to stringly typed nonsense

Erroneous argument - shouting "fire" in a crowded theater has a direct, predictable consequence of people acting on it. Posting stuff on the internet does not.

I will rephrase it: if people today are available to eat dirt instead of nourishment - etc. for innumerable instances -, to get contented with lack of quality (with the akin acceptance of consequential decline of the general perception of quality), the fault is more in decadence than in instruments.

You need well cultivated intelligence to obtain a good product: if "anything goes" is the motto, if "cheap" is the "mandate", there lies the issue.

> Health care may need some intervention.

One of the major issues faced by the Nordic countries is that healthcare workers are quitting ing large numbers and starting to take direct action like strikes in order to improve working conditions.

In Denmark and Finland there was direct government intervention when nurses went on strike (or threatened in Finland's case); a highly unconventional move considering the fact that both countries grant workers the right to use strikes as a tool in collective bargaining. Both the Danish and the Finnish governments are lead by Social Democrats, the political movement traditionally directly connected with the labour unions.

That taken into account, the health care sector doesn't just need some intervention. It requires large-scale restructuring in order to make it a more attractive sector to work in.

Wow! Okay, but does it have to be a general transpose? And if so, why?

I have no idea about this (which is PERFECT!) so I've started looking:

> In linear algebra, the transpose of a matrix is an operator which flips a matrix over its diagonal; that is, it switches the row and column indices of the matrix A by producing another matrix, often denoted by AT (among other notations).

I ask, because I need to know if it matters how the solution works, or if all that matters is that the solution works as it should.

Thank you!

Edit: Do you have a compiled benchmark I can run, for comparison with other solutions?

Agreed it's really fast. FWIW I think the main benefit you'd get from using NextJS (or similar) is that your header/navigation wouldn't be replaced on page navigations on your features/assets pages, so you wouldn't get the whole page flash. It'd just update the content part instead. Their docs are a good example of this: https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/pages - if you click links on the sidebar you'll see just the content update.
I agree, but sadly besides all the cool communities out there there's an order of magnitude more of them that are a stain and a strain on reasonable discussion.

As a user of reddit I would like to isolate myself from these people as much as possible, which is now somewhat possible by blacklisting subbredits. But sadly the people themselves are vastly over represented in the wider community and having to suffer through chains of memes and hot takes, vitriol and all around non good faith discourse is making me go less and less into the comments of interesting posts because I don't really want to subject myself to all that negativity.

In my opinion, the overall effect is negative, despite the existence of diamonds in the rough communities here and there.

PS. I am saying these things as a long time reddit user and as a dev that tries to build an alternative link aggregator and discussion platform for communities to move to. :D

Love kubernetes. And at the same time it's not the magical thing we all expect.

But my main pain points are around Kubernetes and all the hidden stuff.

Kubernetes alone is not enough, you need terraform or helm (or both) to have something manageable and deployable by a team.
When things errors or do not behave the way you expected it all become so complicated or cryptic, that you sometimes better delete an entire resource than understand the underlying issue.

Some stuff like dependency between resources (e.g: Deployments depending on ConfigMap, updating the ConfigMap won't restart the deployment) makes things a lot more complicated than you expect.

There are too many vendor specific stuff that are necessary to make a Kube cluster works that you can not expect to have one terraform setup that is multi cloud.
