Aren't the technical interviews the primary component at these companies at lower levels though?

Hard to imagine someone with a few years of "the wrong experience" who is well versed technically and can handle the coding interview will consistently fail interviews just because the interviewer doesn't recognize their company.

This seems like a weird and computationally expensive validation to perform, but it does explain your observation.
I have tried Profanity and it's only similar at the surface level. The actual features and interactions are very lacking. I'm convinced at this point that some of the best parts of irssi and weechat get ignored by devs of clients for other protocols, so the only way to get a great xmpp or matrix client is to somehow bolt that protocol on to the IRC client (like we have seen with weechat-matrix). Something as basic as switching channels in profanity is a lot harder. I use a "go" script for both irssi and weechat that lets me hit C-g and then type part of a channel/window name and press enter to quickly jump to it. I don't know of a way to do this in profanity. I have also found the omemo behavior in profanity to be rather unfriendly.
Ok I see what you're saying. You're right that we cannot really separate google from googe ads for their own products.
But Google Ads also sells ads on websites outside google (via Google Adsense). So it might make sense to separate AdSense from Google.
How can a CI-service not support ANY GIT source? All this garbage surrounding GIT is just baffling.
Right, and even if it's true that disclosing the detailed reason for a ban would hurt their security posture (I doubt it), I think in most cases it should be pretty obvious when the person disputing a suspension is just someone who got caught in the algorithmic crossfire.

But expending even the smallest amount of effort to determine that isn't something Google feels like spending time or money on.
> Sounds like all around bad decisions. The previous owner shouldn't have sold it as a 90 or at least disclosed that, "It's a 60 but Tesla swapped out the batter with a 90 and left it configured as a 90".

To be fair, for people not intimately familiar with the craziness of modern tech business, it's reasonable to assume that whatever capabilities the car has at the moment of purchase, are going to be there indefinitely. On the face of it, cutting car battery remotely via software patch sounds about as reasonable as remotely removing a room from a house you purchased.
Henry Ford is dead.
The VFS system is great and I plan to support that as well. SQLite is simple to get started with but it can be complicated to integrate a VFS depending on the language using. My goal is to make the deployment as simple as possible and also to support legacy applications.

There's some interesting work I'm looking at with the VFS and WASM where you could deploy something like this across pure serverless functions like Vercel or Deno.

Not even to mention the impact Conway's Law suggests! As a company grows in number of specialized teams, you'd expect to see magnifying difficulty in having efficient communication, eventually impacting what the product looks like (or at least, how robust the code is and how easy it is to augment). Seems like it could be a bad feedback loop - code got more complex indirectly because of number of teams, so naturally you hire more people to maintain the same output.

Show HN: Hacker Who’s? – Replace HN usernames with question marks
Hey HN! Anonymity can really shape how people interact with each other, and HN is no exception. After reading PG’s mention of changing some users colors to orange, and the decision to revert back ( http://www.paulgraham.com/hackernews.html ) , we thought it’d be great to take that to the next level. “Hacker Who’s?” replaces HN usernames with question marks.

This is one of a collection of HN mods that we’ve been working on, and I’ve found this one to have a decent amount of lasting value.
Yes, it's a bummer that we have to encapsulate it in UDP, but when using it like that, it works quite well in my experience.
yes, postgres will add such a condition to the query and in simple cases like this is able to use a corresponding index

unfortunately this can break down in more complex cases. roughly postgres trusts a limited set of functions and operators not to leak information about rows (e.g. via error messages) that the RLS policy says a query should not be able to see. that set includes basic comparisons but not more esoteric operations like JSON lookups. at some point postgres will insist on checking the RLS policy result for a row before doing any further work, which can preclude the use of indexes
Actually it didn't. The post said the battery had a 90 badge and the car reported capacity as if it were 90.

Neither of these are direct claims by Tesla that an "upgrade" happened.

Some 2060s also have dies marked for 2080s that are then fused (re: badging doesn't imply performance). Similarly, you could potentially overclock a GPU and end up having measured performance that matched a higher model (re: car reported capacity). In order for the upgrade to have legally applied, they'd actually need to have stated that it was indeed intended as an upgrade and came with new guarantees that matched the higher performing model. Based on reading the post, this never happened thus the whole problem.

If this did happen, the new owned could just produce the documentation for the upgrade and it would be open-and-shut resolved.
> Taking this back to cars. If an when I sell my Golf R, I will disclose it has received a Stage 1 Turbo upgrade (and hopefully use that to increase the resale value--though it typically does not except to other enthusiasts).

But you're only doing this because it benefits you. If the upgrade reduced your resale value, would you still disclose it? Did you disclose it to insurance companies when you had it done, since it could impact your rates?

When I traded in my GTI for my Tesla I didn't mention the aftermarket headlights I had installed nor the Stage 1. I don't lose sleep over my decision, not that it would have changed the number either way.
> He’s still an amazing asset to the team, but in this case he does have some experience that’s hampering him in a new role.

OK, but how much could it possibly "hamper" him if he's still an "amazing asset"? Is it a permanent condition? Or is it just something that you noticed once or twice and made a mental note of?

We all have gaps and shortcomings. Overcoming them is a matter of practice, but if someone is second-guessing and judging every brain-fart, that's not good for anyone.
So... when does this actually result in some sort of demand for change? This idiotic policy can't work forever and the cost seems high. What's up.
Maybe that's what the masses want. Even if there was a massive conspiracy by the industry, it's clear that free to play makes more money when done right

You're correct, it used to require hackery, not it appears it is an included beta feature.

Back in the days of ARPANET mailing lists, there used to be an "educational" mailing list called "please-remove-me", that was for people who asked an entire mailing list to remove them, instead of removing themselves, or sending email to the administrative "-request" address.

So when somebody asked an entire mailing list to remove them, somebody else would add them to the "please-remove-me" mailing list, and they would start getting hundreds of "please remove me" requests from other people, so they could discuss the topic of being removed from mailing lists with people with similar interests, without bothering people on mailing lists whose topics weren't about being removed from mailing lists.

It worked so well that it was a victim of its own success: Eventually the "please-remove-me" mailing list was so popular that it got too big and had to be shut down...

I think SEO has helped degrade the WWW experience. All sites end up looking the same. Google searches turn up less relevant material and more chum. In short, advertising corrupts.
For my final project in college Data Structures I wrote a linked hexagonal data structure. To index it I used two different solutions. One was to use a base-6 system to encode a series of hops in the six different directions. Another was to have two coordinates which indicated how far to traverse in two directions to reach the target hex cell.
Using built-in gitlab ci. It's definitely good enough for my ci needs. Setup was easy. Love having less tools involved in my day2day.

Some features seem to work incorrectly (ex. some combinations of branch filter rules + file changes rules). Or I misread the docs. For a free service it gives excellent value.

Circleci also good product. But having 1 less "thing" wins over most other considerations for me.
If we have governments specifying what a company does in those circumstances, wouldn't you expect that they would mandate that Google not accept these credit cards? Accepting them sort of flies in the face of the whole "Know your customer" approach that it seems like every government is promoting.
I cannot imagine a worse way to organize a city than to put it on a line in the middle of a desert with no economic activity whatsoever.

Here's a question - what does this city produce? What industries could possibly exist in a city where the only way in or out is on a single line? How do shipments of goods for the grocery stores and restaurants and everything else get into the city? If I want to buy a desk, or a mattress, or anything else does it go on the maglev(s)?

The city seems to ignore the fact that building up is exponentially more expensive compared to building flat. Simply getting the material to the height it needs to be now requires a crane, not to speak of the transportation, accessibility, and plumbing issues.

Has anyone considered what would happen if there was a fire in the middle of the city? Would people be cut off from their jobs? What if repairs take weeks or months?If the maglev breaks the whole city goes with it.

Final point - building a city in the middle of the desert rather than somewhere cold with access to clean drinking water seems stupid in the face of climate change (or in general).
This makes the most sense.

We bought one in the pandemic frenzy and played with it a ton. Family of four and we all found something fun. We fought over turns playing it for a few months, but now it spends most of its time on the cradle. It's still mostly a gimmick with barely a handful of interesting experiences. The Quest 2 is inexpensive, self-contained, has decent power and battery life with good hand tracking. There's not a lot of major technical barriers left to overcome. There just aren't enough clever ideas to make it worth strapping to my head.
> I remember showing PhDs about PKZIP and having them not believe it was possible to compress data without losing information - I had to literally show them the (rough) algorithm.

They were right; that is a well-known and trivial-to-prove theorem about lossless compression.

Lossless compression works because you only apply it to very particular types of data. It doesn't and cannot work on general data; that's why we have specialized compression algorithms for every different kind of data.
I found the comment slightly witty, not insulting. I mean, you have to be able to take (or get) a joke!

I know plenty of people for whom the tool is really useful -- my foreign-born wife for example. But were she to limit her native expression with the same kind of "simplifying" that the tool offers, I am sure she would not be perceived as having any kind of personality at all.

For me, when I write -- and I like to write -- I choose to break convention often. The tool frustrates me and wastes my time. Sure there is an audience for this, but I don't want to sound like everybody else. That's MY attitude.

...and reading the comments does make it sound like a key-logger ... so no, I can't say I trust the extension.
I just read a thread from 2021 on reddit yesterday where an Oculus employee said that they wouldn't be adding color passthrough cameras, and that the current cameras worked on ir and likely would for a while.

When you wrote them down, you could grasp your thoughts like bricks in your hands and push them into different arrangements. Writing let you look at your thoughts in a way you couldn’t if you were just talking, and having seen them, you could improve them, make them stronger and more elaborate.
When have AAA games ever been the source of challenging standards? AAA implies a level of budget at which that much risk isn't taken. If you look back multiple decades, it was so much cheaper to make a game that the definition of AAA doesn't makes sense. Even first-party major publishers were at most "AA".

Doom challenged standards, but Doom could be made by 5 people crammed in a house. Metal Gear Solid. The Sims had more people credited for music than Programming, Design, and Graphics combined (21). Minecraft was one person for the most part.

Look at the credits list for Morrowind: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Credits

And for Skyrim: https://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/elder-scrolls-v-skyri... At the time, development costs were estimated at $100M.

The latest Skyrim Anniversary Edition remaster will surely have a credits list dramatically longer than the 2011 release. AAA games are expensive now, and no one's going to invest tens of millions on the hope that billions of people across the world understand your cryptic commentary about nuclear weapons or whatever.
Ignoring the cost, there's the risk/reward alignment you see in large enterprises.

Imagine you're a new CIO. You know you're probably looking at a 3-5 year tenure at this new company and you want to lead with some big wins to set the tone and show your value.

You're reviewing proposals from your senior leadership. One of the options is an Oracle migration. It could cost a million dollars to migrate, but you'd save a million dollars a year going forward. Oracle runs your mission-critical internal systems, any issues with the migration and the system you migrate to is going to cause significant financial and reputation damage. You'll have to defend this decision if anything goes wrong, i.e. you've absorbed a lot of risk but a lot less upside to you personally.

What do you do? You put the proposal to the side and look for something that has a lot better upside.
Transactions start with the creation of the journal file and end when it's unlinked so there's some "pattern matching" but it's not terribly complicated. Once the file is unlinked, LiteFS can read and verify the journal and pull the change set of pages from the database file.

Litestream interacts with the SQLite API for locking but it uses a regular file descriptor to read the WAL. It has to do similar parsing of pages but it's a bit more complicated since it needs to re-verify its position every time it reads from the WAL.

> I don’t know a single person who uses it daily.

I know a bunch of people who use it daily. They are all using Immersed[0] for work (disclosure, I'm an investor, but I invested because of the love their early customers had for the platform). Basically, you get a bunch of virtual monitors in VR.

It's way cheaper and much more portable than dragging five massive screens around, and the isolation is the point -- you can focus better when you have the headset on and headphones in.

But you're right, that is a niche, and not the social product Meta is hoping for.

Dynamically Linked RISC-V Programs with Binfmt_misc
So, hear me out: that might not be the case.

There are a few facts which are obvious:

- Powered heavier-than-air flight with large cargos and ranges will require energy storage densities on the order of present-day fossil fuels. That might be provided through continued consumption of fossil fuels (with offsets), by synthetic analogues (electricity-to-fuel, by several different routes), or at a remote stretch from biomass-derived fuels (the availabilty-vs-demand situation makes this highly unlikely).

- Rail is exceptionally well-suited to electrification. Generate electricity elsewhere, feed it to the rail system. This works quite well for continental trave. Oceangoing trains have achieved limited success.

That said, there are a number of reasonably traversable boundaries. The Channel Tunnel ("Chunnel") between UK and France, and Öresund between Denmark and Sweden, are two examples. Bridging or tunneling Gibralter and the Bering Strait have long been proposed, other links might be made between Malaysia and Sumatra across the Malacca Strait, along the Sunda Islands, and finally across the Timor Sea to Australia. The Timor sea is relatively shallow, at about 200m (~660 ft), though that's far deeper than the English Channel's 63m average (~200 ft).

The hard crossings would be the Atlantic. There'd likely be call for two of these, one from the British Isles to a landfall in Newfoundland, another from Recife, Brazil, to Monrovia, Liberia, or Freetown, Sierra Leone.

One possible option would be to construct submerged floating tunnels. Norway is considering these as options for crossing its fjords, which are too wide for traditional bridges and too deep for conventional tunnels. A floating tunnel, at a depth of about 20--50m (perhaps somewhat deeper in open ocean) could provide a potential transportation route across long stretches of open ocean. Speeds could conceivably range from lower-end high-speed rail rates to near- or beyond-supersonic speeds (with an evacuated tunnel), though I'd suspect that 200--300 kph (~120 -- 180 mph) would be more viable. For the Newfoundland-Ireland link, about 3,000 km, this equates to a 10 hour crossing. Longer than by present-day aircraft, but far faster than ship, or even airship (typically at 100-200 kph).

Safety, cost, engineering, sabotage, accidents, and all manner of other issues would of course be concerns. Piloting such a project as an automated cargo channel might be one option for development. Staged links might also be developed, say, within island chains (the Faeros already have an underwater tunnel network), say from Great Britain to Ireland, and from Scotland to the Orkneys, Faeros, and Iceland, or from Newfoundland to Prince Edward Island and Greenland.

But in a world of impossibilities, this is, if not especially straightforward, at least within the realm of the possible.

The rebadging is what I find most confusing.

I tried getting a Tesla logo/badge replaced since mine had broken, and Tesla made it clear that getting one was going to be a much greater pain in the ass than just finding one made by a third party.

They claimed it was a supply chain thing, but it clearly had a lot less to do with that and a lot more to do with their techs not giving a damn.
"Socially disallowed" is not a thing that can be implied through "can't" though, as that's just a convention and courtesy.

OP probably would like to have the legal guarantee, but it's a fight that's still in-progress.
I'm not used to measuring computer temperatures in F, so that doesn't mean much to me (I only use it for outside temperatures pretty much). My concern would be thermal throttling as I have seen on many ThinkPads rather than it becoming a bit uncomfortable. I'll probably use my future MBP mostly stationary at a desk with the lid closed.

I am semi-regularly dealing with temperatures in the 80-90s in celcius with my ThinkPad T440p in a docking station.

From a glance at your links it looks like they didn't get anywhere near that in their testing, so I probably have nothing to worry about, but I guess when the M2 Max comes out I'll give some thought to getting the bigger model, even though I don't tend to like overly large things. With ThinkPads I would absolutely not want a numpad (often on 15" models but not 14"), but it looks like Apple doesn't put those on any laptops anyway.
