> When you're freelancing you're essentially interviewing for your job every single minute you're in front of or have an active project with the client.

There is one significant difference. In this perpetual interview, you have access to the internet and can find factual answers from there.

The problem solving part is what makes someone a good engineer/scientist. Not knowing particular algorithms, or knowing formulas (in case of DL jobs).

Interviews focus on the wrong things.

I am okay with the perpetual interview as long as I don't have to rote memorize a bunch of stuff like some poor middle-schoolers in 1970s communist country.

I threw away many recruiters who even mentioned technical interviews. I am doing more than okay financially and career-wise, btw.

This might change in the future just as a step to do something I want to do. I will hate all the interview, HR initiation, onboarding, etc. forever.
I use bootstrap3 on multiple websites (because it includes glyphicons + jquery). Works fine.
The high inflation rate comes from several factors pushing together at the moment. On the one side, the policy of cheap money had to come to an end. On the other side, there is the war and the energy shortage as well as the global economy still suffering due to the pandemic. One could reasonably hope that the effects of the war, energy shortage and pandemic are coming to an end, reducing that pressure onto prices. If e.g. Russia continues to sell gas to Europe, energy prices shouldn't rise much further.
Those systems were a lot simpler than what we use today. Amiga's graphic chips only had so many transistors, the whole machine is simpler than npm.
Maybe he's projecting.
Well, it's a "medium term" goal. Medium term in economics generally refers to a timescale of 2-10 years. Pushing the inflation down to 2% this year would be unreasonable, but they may be able to push the inflation rate down below 2% in the upcoming years to at least partially compensate for the high inflation rate this year.

That's not a gish gallop, I only made one argument. A gish gallop is when you throw out a bunch of arguments at once, hope your opponent misses one in their reply and then call out their failure to respond.

If you're going to call a fallacy, please do so correctly.

It makes exactly as much sense for all three cases. "Capital Owners" have no desire for price transparency (2019), Covid stimulus (2020) or most other things congress does. Certainly not supporting sanctions that torch the oil and fuel needing industries in Europe.

If being beholden to the capital owners can be used as an excuse for anything congress does that you don't like, I can also use it as an excuse for my pizza being late.
This 'yes' implementation in Python also gets to the GB/s range on Linux, approximately on par with gnu yes: https://gist.github.com/jepler/5e46f4e46542367d75cde9d77d586...

It takes the useful insights from this article and packages them back into a Python program. But there's so little actual Python code running that the efficiency relative to a compiled language is swamped by all the data copying to the kernel.

vmsplice()ing is probably the next step in speed, however, vmsplice apparently doesn't fit well into the semantics of python (or probably rust) programs. trying to reduce the number of python bytecodes by calling `os.writev(1, many_bufs)` actually harmed performance, not sure why.

> Consequently, there are two main ways to protect American democracy. The first is to reform the GOP, so that it’s again a conservative, but not authoritarian, party (à la John McCain’s or Mitt Romney’s Republican Party). The second is to perpetually block authoritarian Republicans from wielding power. But to do that, Democrats need to win every election.

So to protect democracy, America needs to institute one party rule forever? To save the village we have to destroy it? This "lesser of two evils" mindset is a major reason why the country got into this mess in the first place (and why both parties can get away with terrible candidates and policies).

Fortunately the article does offer some excellent proposals for reform later on, but they include:

> establishing a nonpartisan national election-management body, ..., and enforcing an upper age limit for Supreme Court justices

Trying to make a political body "nonpartisan" is like trying to find a non-biased newspaper, and implementing it at the national level is just a honeypot waiting for the next authoritarian leader to wield it against states that are making genuine efforts to protect their elections.

Similarly, I think that setting an upper age limit on judges will have unwanted consequences, and we'd see presidents appointing 15 year olds to serve on the court. The better reform here is to limit them to 30 year terms (although with that in place there may be some merit to also introducing age limits). I'm glad, though, that the article didn't suggest term limits for congress, which would just make politicians more dependent on their parties and donors rather than their reputation and records.

Bailout for Italy. The discussion around this started last month (iirc) because Italy's yields started rising.

Whether the ECB should buy PIIGs debt was a big issue during the Eurocrisis. Iirc, the ECB had to create additional mechanisms, some of those were challenged by courts in member nations, and authority ended up resting outside the ECB (which some nations didn't like because it is basically unaccountable). I believe this scheme, although it will almost certainly be challenged again, attempts to move authority for these decisions within the ECB.

Nothing has been fixed (because it can't be fixed with the EU as it is).
I think you can feed it a link to images for inspiration. Wondering if you could just pass the first image to retain 'Boop'.
The real lesson here is "don't build production releases outside of a carefully controlled environment," not "don't use Nix." What led to the failure was the introduction of local dependencies to the production release. In your case, that dependency came from the Go toolchain that you happened to install using Nix. But uncontrolled dependencies could come from anywhere and the problem will persist as long as you don't take measures to control your build environment. This is where Nix really shines. It creates a controlled build environment. You can avoid Nix of course, but there's no avoiding the problem that Nix aims to solve.

> That only cements the idea of avoiding Nix if you're using it for your own development workflow and the entire team/production deploy isn't on board with it.

I disagree. Using it for your own development is fine as long as you keep it local. Either that or ship the complete dependency by building a Docker image as I mentioned earlier. Nix has various tools to make life easier even if it's only for personal development purposes.
I find the distinction introduced in this paper into encoder-decoder Transformers, encoder-only Transformers and decoder-only Transformers very useful for my informal understanding of the different architectures. Thank you for this clear clarification.

More specifically, the political societies were primarily OUCA (the student association for the Conservatives) and the Oxford Union, but also smaller debating societies like the Canning Club.

What has that got to do with the political system in the USA? You have every opportunity of changing how American prisons are organized by participating in the political system. Nobody will jail you for having an opinion about it, or campaigning for prison reform, or hell, even legal reforms in general. Not so in China. If you criticize the state there, you do indeed risk jail, if you don't just suddenly vanish. The main difference here is that the USA has a largely liberal system, while China has an authoritarian one. Good luck surviving (!) in China if you have a strong political opinion about any issue pertaining to their state or their leadership. One of the main differences between the American and the Chinese system is that scrutiny and criticism is welcomed as a means of making things better in the USA, while it is punished in the People's Republic.
Quite a significant increase, give the impression the the Germans are getting jittery about the persistence of inflation.
> That’s why engineering exists in the first place. With an unlimited budget, my 2-year-old could design a bridge that carries monster trucks over the English channel for a million years.

I'd like to see the math on this one. A million years is a lot of weather (including tropical storms that sometimes reach England), wars, meteors, earthquakes, climate variation, but especially a million years of weather.

I suppose if you truly had an unlimited budget you could build it thousands of feet tall out of gold plated titanium mined from the moon.
As I replied to safety1st, a trade surplus is not evidence of protectionism. The EU has a comparable (slightly better) Weighted Mean Tariff Rate to the US, and both are the most open large economies in world.

It's unsupportable nonsense to claim otherwise.
Reddit has "norms" that make it look like people are communicating (image memes) when really they aren't. Image memes on reddit seem like an unholy marriage of autistic and neurotypical phenotypes that seem to have the disadvantages of both but no real understanding.

Somebody feels included by that but personally it drives me away.
First, the term "friendly fraud" sounds terrible; First-party fraud at least conveys the meaning clearly without the marketing dressup.

Second, how does this not weaken the rights of the card-holder?

> This change will empower merchants to protect themselves against first party misuse by enabling them to submit additional evidence that a purchase was indeed legitimate and authorized by the cardholder in order to stop the dispute claim. Additional examples that can help identify that a purchase is legitimate include a customer using the same payment credential previously at the merchant, login credentials, proof of use of a product and more.

So, for the 80% of the cases (based on Visa's own data citation in the article) where there was a legitimate chargeback, the third-party perpetrator of the fraud just has to use the product which perhaps shows up as "evidence" to the merchant that could be used to deny the chargeback. This somehow reeks of nonsense and is just a weakening of the cardholder's rights and protection of their credit/reputation.
I hope the author never gets to touch any of the forums I still visit.

The article seems to be arguing that to keep forums alive you should turn them into basically another social media platform like all the others. Fake-polite "Community Managers" that are not any less of a tyrant than the wors forum admins? Notifcations? Typing indicators? Online indicators? Mobile apps for a website? These are all exactly the anti-features that make the current solutions worse than traditional forums in my eyes. I'd take a "dying" forum over a growth-optimized "managed" "community" any day.

I guess the author's idea of a forum is more that of a corporate-sponsored "community" than that of an independent website which makes sense since he needs someone to pay for his services.
The cool thing is that you can use a centralized exchange and not even know about what keys are, or use the network as it is intended and not rely on a centralized entity.

This seems to be exactly that.

The trick here is that it's not 'sovereign debt' as being held by one country , but rather it's a 'package of debt' with a normalize rate and more guarantee...

It's what Pro-EU have been advocating for decades , to avoid 'spread' within eu-zone...
> For instance parking payment apps, mobile ticket apps etc

Should just be a payment terminal instead of an app. Beyond that, there's App Clips for one time use, and accessibility is worse on the web than on the iPhone (can't speak for Android). For printing and sharing, might be right, but it's broken on websites often enough, too. There are lots of developers (or their management) not caring about UX at all on both sides..
I was addressing our willingness to commit atrocities against one another. I don't see anything making me think that willingness has abated any in the past 160 years.
I expect that when Apple complies, they will see huge market share gains, and they will realize that doing the same thing in the US is a good idea. People who already use Apple, are still going to use Apple, but people who don't because they want the freedom of Android might jump to Apple once that platform is more in line with their wants.

And yeah! I'm glad you brought up the part about caching, graph databases and the idea of over-engineering. The idea is not to make a practical game, but to learn technology through over-engineering. The Main Quests will be a streamlined experience, but the Side Quests are where I go off the wall.

And yeah as for graphics, I've actually built it in React in a few different ways and was going to go that route. I've built some basic Rouge-like games in Rust with WebGL (using bracket-lib), and am most definitely going to have that as a Side Quest.

What I'm gathering from your feedback is that I need to work on my messaging as to what the reader can expect?

> Gender identity and its social context is indeed something that shifts across time and culture, so just applying our modern standards to hunter gatherers 8000 years ago is simply bad science.

Isn't that the point? Some cultures recognize three genders (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_gender), some five (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_in_Bugis_society), and no doubt others.

We don't know what hunter gatherers 8000 years used but that first Wikipedia link points out that 4,000 years ago Egyptians used three genders ("tai (male), sḫt ("sekhet") and hmt (female). Sḫt is often translated as "eunuch", although there is little evidence that such individuals were castrated."), so it's not like the concept of a non-binary gender is a new concept.

The modern archeological standard assigns only two genders, right? We know isn't accurate because as the stigma against a non-binary gender has decreased, and recognition of non-binary genders increases, more people are "publicly admitting to their natural state", which doesn't align to a two-gender system based on bone structure.

The point seems to be that applying that modern binary standard "to hunter gatherers 8000 years ago is simply bad science."

You wrote "the biological sex seems to be usually identifiable." The devil is in the details.

- What is "biological sex"? We know some people are intersex - what biological sex are they?

- How many people are mis-identified? How much does that mis-identification affect our historical interpretation? Weiss pointed out how "robust female skeletons" were mis-interpreted as male, which "reinforced false stereotypes that females were not as hard working as males."

- The goal seems to be to assign skeletons as "male" or "female." If someone in Bugis society is intersex, living as "bissu" (one of the five genders), and 400 years later that person's skeleton is assigned "male" ... isn't that de-sexing?

I've been a One Medical customer for quite a few years, this might be our last. The service has worsened every year. It has been clear for some time they were going for an "early" exit by focusing on increasing subscriber and location count with medical professional availability lagging woefully. My experience and the most common complaint I hear is how difficult it is to get an actual appointment to see someone, despite paying an annual membership for that privilege. Their number of MDs also seems to be shrinking versus the number of other health professionals (RNs etc). If you're going for something not urgent and can wait a couple of weeks, then the system will work for you. But if you need attention in 1-2 days, good luck. I just had a look and they show one appointment available for a single MD across their 14 NYC offices this week. The remaining MDs show as having no availability for 12-42 days. There has also been an ever-increasing turnover speed of their roster of their always young medical professionals. I'm not sure we'll renew at the end of this period. They sell a solution which would work perfectly for us, but it's not the service we have actually received. I hope Amazon invests in the service again as part of their wider campaign into the healthcare.

If Weighted Mean Tariff rates are the only measurement for trade that could be true. But it is not. You have subsidies and you have policy and regulations which can cause non market barriers to entry. Case & point: China doesn't have any tariff on American social media companies but simply bans American companies. Per your chosen measurement, that is simply not considered.

This is the theme of Steven Pinker’s book Enlightenment Now. It compiles a tremendous amount of data and research on progress in health, wealth. justice, equality, and happiness.

It is a great antidote to the distorted pessimistic view of reality that comes from constant exposure to news, social commentary, and political activism, which focus relentlessly on the negative.

For a "game" this needs a better on-boarding solution, a "tutorial" if you will. Instead of forcing new users to watch a video on Youtube, integrate instructions right on the first page. Either add floating popups, or guide new user through first steps with example data.
On first visit I actually missed that there is more content on main page below fold. And "import" function probably won't be that important to new user, moving to Settings might be appropriate.
That thing where you can't accelerate to the speed of light is obviously a hack around some glitch that happens when you do so.

If Apple tracks users that have both lockdown mode and iCloud on, all a nation state with jurisdiction has to do is request list of users with both on; having lockdown mode on might even qualify as justification for a search warrant and legally hack anyone using it, which is already the case for Tor:

https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/what-does-rule-41-sa...

Find it horrifying that Apple has this feature, but makes no effort to inform users about the risks of iCloud; in my opinion, if you have lockdown mode on, iCloud should not be option, should trigger an off boarding from iCloud and wiping of any data on iCloud; also pointed this out in comments here:
