Nobody in this thread has claimed that trees (or sorting or maze generation algorithms, which don't necessarily involve trees) aren't taught. Guessmyname claimed that "programmers who went through college and/or university didn’t learn this stuff there," not that nobody tried to teach it to them. Every claim in the thread about what is taught has been a positive claim that some things were taught; there have been no negative claims claiming that something or other wasn't taught or wasn't in a curriculum.

Teachers can have a significant effect on the learning process, but learners have a much larger one. Other things like available learning resources and institutional incentives may have larger effects than teachers, curricula, or even (variation among) learners.
I'm using this too, but I always found it very unreadable for people unfamiliar with it. It's so surprising that it catches the exception for you! I end up always adding a commend

```
logger.exception("Failed to connect.") # Will print exception.
```
I hear you, and when I did some research on this in the past, going to get logs was the most common reason for engineers to SSH to production hosts.

As a security guy, I hate SSH to production (the whole "cattle, not pets" thing). In my last company we had an internal tool to federate you to the AWS console. We had runbooks in a wiki, and had links literally to the logs for a particular component/service/region - the link would federate you to the right account and take you directly to the target log in cloudwatch logs in the appropriate region. Safer and easier than ssh-to-prod.
That's how badly they need people! ;-)

> feel free to disagree, I don't mind -- please do exactly what you want to do

Meta: I think it goes without saying that readers will do whatever they want to. You telling the reader explicitly that they should do what they want can come across as passive-aggressive. Paradoxically, you _are_ telling them how they should behave by writing that.
Ouch - I thought I had it and I missed it. I'll email you a patched version.
That's exactly what the Harvard case study approach is supposed to be about. They are mostly open-ended but guide towards being a success or distress story. I remember case studies that discussed the FANG that I worked at before business school. I'd contribute my views and comment on how it was like being on the inside. The cases were a bit anodyne but provided a framework where if you had engaged classmates, you could have good discussions about how to avoid others' mistakes.
So to add on, I’m older (48), when I looked at the landscape in 2017, my (step)son was graduating in 2020 and it was time for me to take a stab at BigTech.

I really had no interest in the shit show of the modern software engineering interviewing process since I had never had to do a coding interview in my life on the enterprise dev side.

I did know “cloud” by 2020 and had customer facing experience so I was able to pivot to app dev cloud consulting and my BigTech interview was mostly behavioral.

And in many cases it can make a huge difference even outside of taste.

For example, using pre-shredded cheese on your pizza? It will never melt and become gooey the way a low moisture block of mozzarella you've shredded yourself will.

Because, as it becomes obvious once you learn about it, in order to prevent that shredded mozzarella from becoming just a clump of cheese, which is exactly what would happen considering the temperature differences it goes through and all sorts of crushing pressures that are applied on it until it makes it to your fridge.

The pre-minced garlic needs all sorts of preservatives that will impart a significant flavor to preserve it and prevent it from browning.

Presliced fruit is almost always gonna be covered in something to prevent it from spoiling. Sugar syrup might be the least offensive, but then it becomes less of a fruit serving than a sugar serving.

There are good convenience foods you can use.

Frozen foods are usually pretty high quality. The texture might not work for certain applications, but they are usually flash frozen when they are at the peak of the season and so really good when they're used. In fact, stuff like canned tomatoes are often better than their "fresh" counterparts during the off-season.

Canned foods can also be excellent.

No one sneers at people for using those, and in fact, most good chefs (and most of hte TV chefs as well) will recommend using those. Heck, even frozen sliced and peeled vegetables.

But some convenience foods are simply not good if you are capable of doing without. Processed garlic is usually one of those.
From what I understand it got adapted by the existentialists as well, which is where most people would hear of it. No idea how they got it from the Catholics.

Lately there have been a lot of historians working backward looking for cases of 'history is written by the victor' situations and rewriting the histories. There's a great video out there, based on someone's PhD thesis, that places David Hume in a town in Southern France where a certain Jesuit priest had recently returned from a monastery in Siam and written a book about what he learned about eastern philosophy.

So they can't prove that Buddhism caused the Enlightenment, but we know for sure that one of those guys in those coffee shops had the opportunity to spend time in another coffee shop interviewing an academic who lived with Buddhists.

Edit: it was Siam, not eastern India, and definitely Hume
Why do you care, as a worker, about leakers and low performers? I understand being frustrated if people you work with are obstructionist, poor communicators, or have bad attitudes - but in my experience most of those people would be classified by the company as HIGH performers. The “low performers” are, in my experience, the most fun to work with.

Or not, because Putin is a structure, not a man. Propaganda makes us personalize these things in a way that distorts the decisions we make.

edit: if western intelligence had managed to cultivate the number of traitors and the amount of influence that it would take to quickly replace the Russian system, it would already have assassinated Putin. An assassination of Putin right now would unite the Russian public in its hatred for the US, not fragment it. The goal is to make the Russian public miserable enough that the US can get into this position.

This is one area where I think Nintendo and Apple really excel at.

They hardly, if ever, cave to user "wants", because they understand that often, the user has no fucking clue what they actually want.

It's why they manage to succeed despite initial opinions being so against them. It's because often the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Looking at a thing can only tell you so much, it's only when you are able to actually experience the thing will you be able to judge whether it is good or not.
Share price has tanked anyway, compensation at FB is less competitive than it used to be.

IME your top performers are generally less compensation motivated than "interesting problem and interesting environment" motivated. Many companies will bend over backwards to give a top performer from a FAANG as much autonomy and interesting work as they want, for compensation differences that aren't that major anymore.
Yeah, a bit obsessed, I reckon. What irks me the most is my late father collected breweriana from the old brewery (serving trays, tip trays, signs, etc.). From what I've heard, after inheriting some of his collection and attending the bottle/breweriana shows he went to, I found out from a couple of dealers, that one of the guys from the brewery has also been collecting. So now I've got competition with deep pockets in an otherwise esoteric hobby.
vim's support for legacy platforms is... IMNSHO extreme to the point of self-harm.

many of the systems it supports haven't received updates in decades and have essentially no users. The old versions work just fine on them, and require no changes because those systems aren't changing. There's no reason why _new_ versions of vim have to be held back by the need to work on ancient platforms.

And how do you deal with demand collapsing?
My experience with Python in Lambda was that my functions ran significantly faster when I used logger rather than print for logging. I agree that Lambda captures stdout to CloudWatch, but my experience was that logger was better (and more intentional).

You could do something similar with the lens too.
I see a lot of value in being able to generate the schema based off of real time traffic, vs. static analysis or test cases. In my mind the traffic to the API is the real source of truth for the API.
Thanks for the response. What you describe is the common interaction with police here too. The danger is in how things escalate with them. Most police try to avoid minor crimes here too, depending on the region. I have a lot of anecdotes of this. It is a diffuse set of systems, both hiding and amplifying the ill aspects and horrors of themselves. Google a forum to find or ask the populaces about police traps if you are worried and ever here.
And so goes my ACM membership.
Saying that 50% of people live paycheck to paycheck is meaningless unless you are also implying that those same 50% are all excellent at managing their finances. Otherwise you are just saying that it is possible for people to spend every dollar they earn which is obviously true, but not interesting.

Is there a subset of that 50% who is living paycheck to paycheck despite having excellent financial discipline and trying to live within their means? Probably, but without knowing what percentage it is, the 50% (and I've recently heard 64%) doesn't tell you much of anything.
I've noticed that now that there's a shortage of everything not only is it hard to find a specialist who could do the work, products themselves often arrive somewhat defective.

The other day we bought an indoor tent for our toddler. The frame is composed of wooden sticks with some having an aluminium tube glued at the end to connect it to another stick.

One of the tubes was slightly damaged, so the other stick wouldn't go in.

Fortunately the ceramic base of a (broken) LED bulb is harder than aluminium, so after some twisting I managed to file down the tube to size.
No, this is in fact not categorically new. MaRV and related demonstrated 60 G pull up to horizontal glide maneuvers.

The technology of a HGV and a maneuverable re-entry vehicle are essentially the same. The main reason for talking about "hypersonics" as a separate category today is to emphasize flight profiles that would not be interpreted as nuclear strikes.

I make American cheese all the time. 90% of the ingredients are cheddar cheese. Lots of good burger joints do this too. But yes, there’s very bad versions as you’ve described.

The main idea is to take a mild cheddar and tame it further while changing its texture and to make it melt nicely. This is why any other cheese on a hamburger is inferior.
Re: Ukraine. My article was March 23, the second article is Apr 28. So suppose they got back online a month later, that doesn't mean they've always been online. Just like if GitHub is online right now, it doesn't mean they've never had any downtime.

> He noted that since “the national bank is not really operating, crypto is helping to perform fast transfers, to make it very quick and get results almost immediately.”

That quote is pretty unambiguous. At least for a time, Ukraine benefited from a financial system with no central point of failure.

Pornhub probably offers different payment methods depending on your jurisdiction. I don't know much about that industry, I was just quoting a thread from the day before where a few people confirmed.

You're right that in a first world country, with reliable infrastructure, paying for uncontroversial products (note uncontroversial != legal), BTC will have more friction. Even if BTC is wildly successful, I'll be happy never to buy socks with it. But there's lots of adoption in other countries, and for fringe products like the ones you listed plus VPNs, "water pipes", etc.

And why are you asking for use cases "besides" these? That's the problem with these threads. Someone says "no use cases", then I list some use cases and cite my sources, then the next reply is "actually those don't count, please give me even more use cases!" Posting in these threads is exhausting.
"Train the scambot to perfectly push your buttons by having it practice against your own style of thought as embodied by your social corpus."

Fortunately, that's not really what these language models can do. They can easily be trained to mimic you. They can be trained to mimic what normal people reply to you with. But there's no way to train the transformer-based high-probability-next-word AIs to be superhumanly good at fooling you into doing something, on the grounds of lack of training data, and probable inability to represent such a complex topic in their internal representation. And the humans doing this stuff are experiencing enough success that they probably have no desire to go chasing the super hard targets, with the wherewithal and motivation to chase them down and sue them (or... you know... worse, legal systems aren't a bound on everyone) even potentially across international lines.

You'll know when AI does get to that point, because suddenly the internet will be an amazingly interesting place with all sorts of amazingly good arguments you can't hardly resist. I imagine few of us experience that sort of internet. (If you do, uh, watch out.)
> I don't understand the outrage at this art style.

Oh, that's easy. It's reminiscent of free Flash games popular a couple decades ago. Vector graphics are somewhat less common in games these days, so my first impression was that the art style looked a bit cheap and dated.
> I highly doubt I'd feel comfortable using a full VR headset regularly unless it was a "full dive" experience where I don't have to use a controller.

The Quest headsets already have accurate controllerless hand tracking, but not many experiences optimized for the input mode.

> Apple has more experience designing and producing hardware than Google, Facebook and Amazon combined and if they don't think the tech is ready, it's probably not ready.

Apple is releasing a VR headset next year, which means they think the technology is ready.

Apple entering this space will probably do wonders for broader acceptance of the technology, like the dedorkification of smartwatches with the introduction of the apple watch.
You're assuming that parents who are homeschooling intend to provide their children with a good education. However, what about people who claim to "homeschool" their children but don't actually follow through, leading to uneducated adults who can't support themselves. I think that assuming good intentions for everyone is a problematic assumption, and you need to manage policies for bad actors as well.
> they leave too much of the garlic in the tool and washing them is difficult.

if you peel the garlic first you can just scrape the rest of the bit into the dish and while it's not as finely crushed and separated as the other parts... it tends to meld in just fine(mostly) and you don't waste anything.
No offence but you're not going to convince anyone by linking to a YouTube search, of all things.

The Guardian link says absolutely nothing about the collar being traumatizing.
The article doesn't mention this, but in my experience playing live gigs the full pedal stomp (1) is significantly better than dimple button style stomp (2). In fact, for me, it's a dealbreaker if a pedal has a dimple stomp. I'm curious if other ppl feel similarly.

I don’t really understand why someone would take this to twitter instead of just replying with a quote or ignoring it.
Wow, how interesting. I started getting these a few months ago, right after starting a new job in a somewhat high-profile area. I have been getting 1-2 per month but found them quite unusual because none of them ever progressed to an actual scam - just a few messages back and forth about the fabricated "wrong number" situation and then each thread would stop, seemingly earnestly.

Since there was no obvious scam, I've been wondering what the motivation for these was, and actually started worrying about whether someone might be trying to compromise my phone via some yet-undisclosed SMS exploit - why else would there be a systematic effort to get me to spend time exchanging a few pointless messages around the "wrong number" pretext that otherwise went nowhere?

I tried calling the senders by phone and found they were all Google Voice numbers, which eliminated the possibility that some actual rich guy had innocuously ended up with a number similar to mine.

I asked a few friends and no one else was experiencing the same thing. Glad to hear it's not just me.
That would get in the way of unadulterated profit, you see.
