To which my answer would be: I've been in this game for 25 years. I lost my will to configure long ago, and now just use the default. The default is better tested, good enough for most tasks, and doesn't leave you hobbled whenever you have to work on a fresh machine as you try to remember what custom things you had set up, or if your config git repo is properly up to date and doesn't introduce unwanted dependencies (or if you can even connect to it).

It's also a major source of WFM (works for me) syndrome, where something in your custom stuff is unintentionally needed by the build.

I'd rather be building things than playing with my tools. If I really need something esoteric, I'll find another tool or write a Python script
I started with a 212 DPI display (PocketBook 626), then moved to Kobo, which is 300 DPI, and the effect was much more dramatic.

If you're not using displays all day long, you might not be straining your eyes much, and may not be feeling it, too. Try using some artificial teardrops (without any additives, preservatives or active ingredients). If you feel relieved after using them, you're simply unaware of being uncomfortable, then.
I use to say that academic ethics is the study of what you can get away with.

If you want guidance on being good, you need a saint, not an ethicist.

There's lots of prosperous countries where renting is very common, is well-regulated, and not some great risk (Germany and Switzerland spring to mind).

I, too, live in a country where owning is the norm. That turns the rental market into (mostly) shabby flats for the very lowest income brackets, for students, for migrant workers, or for short-term renting. It doesn't have to be that way.
You pressed the button, it's owned by you, all rights are reserved by default.
HSR is the biggest fucking joke ever. We now have one of the most expensive train systems that literally goes nowhere (fresno - bakersfield). SF and LA aren't even on the table yet. Most of the people who voted for it probably won't see the original plan completed in their lifetimes. If there's any dig to be made at democratic leadership & dysfunction, its the HSR project.
Contrary to the OP I think Leetcode questions are useful to test the abilities of candidates, including their understanding of Big O complexity.

What I don't understand is why there isn't a standardized (proctored) test that companies could rely on, instead of re-testing each candidate themselves.

Couldn't FAANGs put resources together to establish an independent testing institute? Wouldn't that save everybody a lot of time and money?
On 1, you don’t really have to consolidate them just to check if the whole range is covered. You can just sort beginnings and ends together and then iterate over them with some tmp variable to check that you always have at least one beginning “open” (n log n).

> I have never read Lord of the Rings. I’ve tried. It’s boring as hell.

The images in your blog suggest that you find the war really funny and exciting. As LOTR is a book talking extensively about the real nature of war, it may change your point of view and you probably should avoid reading it. Maybe is just not the book for you.

In any case, yes there is an industrial revolution in the second book (focused in the consequences of such revolution). The concept of a bomb is present also, so having fire weapons shouldn't be a problem. Technology plays a big role in most of the history. Often as contrast to the country life.

Gandalf uses a Colt .45 at the end of the book to kill the mischievous indian chief and save Rosita's sheep farm. Is in the last Peter Jackson's version: the Return of the Writer's Block.
Parent comment is about “Americans touting their free speech.” First Amendment is obviously what that refers to.

The Internet doesn’t have a limit on the number of web sites. You want to say something, get a $2/month shared hosting plan and post HTML, or lease fiber and run your own server farm, or do any number of things in between.
To me ’…don’t you agree?’ is the sort of rhetoric that parents use to make their kids internalise their beliefs.

If someone disagrees I expect them to speak up, if they’re not so inclined I’m interested to know why, so we can address/resolve that and move on.
If programming is an art, then the programmer should have an audition instead of an interview. Which is approximately what leetcode is.

Wii Sports (or now Nintendo Switch Sports) is a big one.
I see you used criterion here on your own repo, but it really shows that rust is missing the benchmark testing (I know there's one in unstable); having the tests you wrote alongside the code would prevent future hotpath regressions.

Leetcode is simple: performance on it is a proxy for a combination of two metrics, raw IQ and willingness to consistently jump through a series of arbitrary hoops to achieve some end, which is a predictor of success at large companies.

If you're hiring at scale, there's nothing else that matches it in terms of difficulty to game and cheapness of cost to implement. And for every engineer who says that they refuse out of principle to do Leetcode, there are ten who refuse to do time consuming take home projects and the nth implementation of a bespoke open source static site generator just to build a portfolio on Github.

Most smaller companies can and must figure out other hiring niches for overlooked/available candidates since they can't effectively compete with large companies for good conventional candidates using the same hiring process (e.g. by offering candidates more flexibility, taking more hiring risks), but pretending it's not a tradeoff isn't taking the problem seriously.
I can clearly remember reading about this watch in one of the "innovations of the 1900s"-books in the early 90s at my schools library. It was featured as the pinnacle of human technology and it sparked great imagination in the mind of me as a child when I read about it.
This use case seems very similar to a search index (aka google) type use case. Crawling and indexing vs scraping and storing, and then publishing in a searchable format for end users to utilise? Surely there's plenty of precedent for this?
Just like "more than replacement" doesn't necessarily lead to Malthusian apocalypse, "less than replacement" doesn't necessarily lead to extinction. We have a largish number of generations to change the birthrate before either happens.
Ignoring the mobile accounts, which are largely mandatory because of the App stores…

You need an account to login to a Mac, but it’s not an iCloud account. If you want to use iCloud, you can link your login account to it. But it is completely optional. I don’t understand at all why I needed to setup (and link) a Microsoft.com account to my personal computer.

The worst part is, I use multiple Microsoft online accounts. Which one should be associated with my computer login? My Xbox account? My work account? None of this makes sense to me.

Also the output it filtered so there are no rocks or other debris thrown into the car behind. That was already the case on the prototype raced at Goodwood.
As long as you limit "performance" to the context of "racing" and not "extreme environments" or "heavy industry"...both having mission-critical "performance" requirements where EVs utterly fail.
It's not just housing. Subsidized daycare, cost of actually having the baby and so one also play into it. Effectively: if I were to have kids I know it's more or less a zero cost thing for me. Having the baby delivered, taking 6 months off work, then having the baby in day care from age 2 to 5 cost me almost nothing at all.
I didn't have to consider my employment status before having a child, nor where I was in my career, or whether I could afford medical bills. Financially, it was a smaller "step" than e.g. buying a used car or moving. As it should be. It's a big enough step and responsibility without all the finance nonsense attached.
Maybe it’s a form of the Stockholm syndrome? I can’t make heads or tails why someone would want to live in that environment either.
looks like Standalone Components, which are in preview in the latest v14, may yet see the deprecation of angular modules, or at least give more options to devs https://angular.io/guide/standalone-components

With decorators and dependency injection at least you're learning a concept which has been quite widely used across some popular languages/frameworks, there's a chance you'd already have come across these ideas in learning programming.

rxjs definitely can take some learning time, though to get started with basic things like handle an api request with observable it doesn't take long. There's a whole lot you can do, and that power is quite useful for complex scenarios.
At primary school we had a lid as a desk, and I used to place rulers and a protractor in a certain combination that would be dislodged if open.

If you plan on running bare-metal I highly recommend RKE2. It just works, it sets up most things for you (CNI included).

Don't even think about using kubeadm, it's the worst. It's overcomplicated and the smallest issue will wreck your cluster.

Also as a quick tip, don't use firewalld or iptables, use CNI resources (eg calico GlobalNetworkPolicy c; )

There's also an app on the Play/App stores (so not open source), which is better in that it does scoring (better than the nutriscore) based on the OpenFoodFacts data, proposes better alternatives, and also handles cosmetics, called Yuka.
This leaves the user who want actual choice crying in the corner.

Android is only the bare OS, and actual devices come either with Google bindings everywhere (mostly from direct contract with each phone maker in exchange to let them have the Play Store), or no Play Store at all (which usually means no commercial license for stuff like Felica as well, same situation as when wiping clean a phone basically).

To me it feels a lot like in the 90s when 'viable' alternatives to Windows were either overpriced and obsoleting Macs, or "every year is year of linux on the desktop" linux boxes. And getting shouted from every camp when complaining the situation really sucks.
Sorry, but no. The well regulated rental market in Germany has had the consequence of a housing unit shortage. Try renting anything in well regulated Berlin. It's like trying to find an PS5/ RTX 3080 during the scalpocalipse. Similar in well regulated Stockholm.

Renting is very popular in Germany because buying is out of reach for most due to how expensive it is, therefore those who aren't well off have no other choice but to rent, leading to old age poverty for those who don't own their own property by the time they retire.

That's why Italian pensioners are statistically better off than their German counterparts despite their country being poorer, because they own their own property at retirement, instead of paying market rent and having to search the city trash bins for empty bottles to make ends meet.

Most Germans with financial means or inheritance do own property since it's financially better than renting, especially when your old and living on a measly pension.

Not that I don't support rental regulations, I do, but the real estate market in Germany is broken and therefore is not what I consider a model to be followed by everyone.
Do restrictive abortion laws reduce abortion?
A degree in the field from a reasonable school requires passing many proctored tests and submitting many completed projects.

Companies don't seem to find this sufficient.

Why is that? Would a board test fix this? I would back this idea if it would work, but I think it's crazy that I have a BS and PhD in CS, years and years of having my work vetted, professional experience, etc, and yet if I wanted to find a new job...time to leetcode.
No, TypeScript has these type system features because they are necessary to accurately type the programs people actually write using JavaScript.

This isn't because of the shortcomings of JavaScript, it's because of the shortcomings of simple type systems.

Simple type systems (like those of Java or Go) restrict the kinds of programs you can easily write while satisfying the type checker. Normally, the alternative is resorting to languages without static type checkers, like JavaScript.

TypeScript allows mostly idiomatic JavaScript even with complex runtime invariants to be given quite accurate types at compile time. It has features I miss all the time in Java.
If it really turns out useful, I'm 100% sure other companies will manufacture it, too (and I'd expect an open version at some point, too). I mean, technically it's not that complicated, it's details that matter.

> Also, you can learn a lot about how senior someone is by watching how fast they can parse out search results and SO answers.

This is true, but you don't need to customize anything for that. VSCode text search gets you 99% there.

> I have never met a good craftsman that doesn't customize their tools.

To the contrary, personally I even take some pride I can work on any PC you can possibly give me immediately. This has tons of upsides - from helping someone walking over to them, to knowing tools in their default configurations inside out and explaining keybindings or quirks that are guaranteed to work (and writing better docs).

Programming really isn't about my personality, I want to strip any of that and produce the least amount of very default, simple code anyone can work with. And you don't need to type fast or use scripts to produce that small amount of code.

Largely same goes for debugging, I better create a good logging and monitoring system than spend time tweaking my tools, because that'll immensely benefit the person who maintains the code after I'm gone. Nobody will install my personal tweaks to catch bugs. Granted I mostly work with very good tooling already (C#).
Not an engineer, but I am in software development; I'm about to accept an offer after only having gotten serious about applying ~1 month ago. Applied to ~17 roles between ~2-4 weeks ago (all but 1 fully remote), and the role I'm about to accept was the second place I applied to.

There was no shortage of fully remote roles, in fact.. there were so many new ones popping up every day on LinkedIn that I was quite selective about what type of companies / projects I applied to (avoiding financial/health/crypto and anything else that felt dull or ethically questionable).

In my own personal experience... the "widespread hiring freeze" feels like little more than media sensationalism.
I was shot at from a car while walking down the sidewalk. I could hear the ricochets off the pavement near me. I ducked behind a tree and called 911. They took my name/location and hung up. I never saw an officer.

I would say most children in Western nations are wanted by their parents. They're mostly just a cost economically speaking, so no incentive to have more than you want.

I think most people can achieve happiness in their situation, even under bad conditions, if they have a sound mind. Those elites might have a better shot at accidental happiness, but being upset over that will do nothing good for your own state of mind, so why let it bring you down? You can't change how the world works.

Happiness comes from within, and from meaningful social connections.
Ask HN: Devs who passed whiteboarding at FAANG: how do you feel about it?
Most of the blogs I read about whiteboarding and leetcode style questions come together with hate. “It doesn’t test real world scenarios” or “not proof of how well I’m gonna do at the job”.

Do you agree with those? Or is it just the case that the tests are designed to see if the person applying is actually really smart and interviewers want to work with really smart people, and those complaining about these types of questions are just not good enough?

Honest question and I’m not taking any side although I admit it I tried to phrase it more towards getting favourable FAANG responses
Jesus christ. I have heard of similar incidents happening as being part of a gang initiation, especially if the attack was purely unprovoked (i.e., you weren't targeted for political or financial motives).

After witnessing how 911 and the police treat my reports I am convinced that crime stats in all major US metro areas are cooked and rife with under-reporting and lies. The crime rate is much higher than the stats show.
