they pay relatively well in Canada too, and for arguments sake, the US which has probably the best paid devs across the board has a financial infrastructure from hell when it comes to payments or money transfers.

It's just tech debt. If you've ever been to China, it's crazy how well WeChat works. There's just nothing like it in the EU or the US because we have 20 different decades old things for everything that people can't or won't replace.
...but maximum thermal efficiency burning the fuel is 60%, and that doesn't account for the efficiency loss in transporting said fuel, either.

There's a lot of lost opportunity cost here as the planet cooks. We need maximum CO2 reduction as quickly as possible, and that will come only from wind/solar and electrifying as much as possible, and carbon taxation on corporations.
Error values suffer from the pit of failure. If you forget to handle them correctly, you have a bug. See [1].

Exceptions are better than async because they do not "reify" stack frames, an incredibly terrible idea. I mean, it works, but it's not a good model, mentally or otherwise.

Why? Why not keep switching until you find something that doesn't suck? Because a bunch of speculators who were buying in with hopes of owning the entire financial system of the future are going to be ruined?
Many good engineers love to code outside work as a hobby, do not make engineers that doesn't like it as automatically bad.

If the interviewer cannot determine whether the candidate is good in less than 2 hours interview session without previously made projects, it's on the interviewer.

On the other spectrum, companies are feeling too entitled for demanding pre-established projects to showcase, take-home assignments take can take days to do, without really offering any incentive to it.
You’re not wrong (Drive the 99, it’s ever starker), but most of these people aren’t living just to spite others. Without positive incentives to get these people to take their livelihoods elsewhere (or find new livelihoods), why are they going to be enthusiastic about being encouraged out?

We need carrots, not just sticks.
I live in the BC interior. It is virtually impossible to find a place that does not have an ADU. Old house, new house, small house, large house, it doesn’t matter: perhaps 1 out of 50 is single occupancy, all the rest have a rental suite. I think your notions are incorrect.

Anyone can apply for time to point JWST somewhere by making a research proposal to the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI). STScI weighs the proposals and picks the ones that it judges to be most compelling. This is the same system that is used for Hubble. You’d be competing with the world’s top research teams, and there isn’t remotely enough time for JWST to execute all of the proposals, so in practice your chances are low as a layperson—but anyone can at least submit a proposal.
I always liked the way he formatted his C code - opening and closing braces on indented on line by themselves, the code inside the braces indented the same amount. Appealed to my Python side, long before I ever saw Python.

Wrote a lot of code that way, wish that style had caught on.

A lot of the bearings are designed to take force from a certain angle. If the forces come now from a different angle they will wear out.

An example would be wheel bearings. They don’t handle pressure from the side very well.

This kind of discussion is when I think the "real person inside" intuitive model of human psychology really breaks down. Philosophers have been arguing (circularly?) for thousands of years over the "true nature" of humans without any definitive answers.

Another model of human mminds that I find much more useful is as a complicated feedback system. A priori, these dynamical systems can have many different equilibria regions in their phase space, but none of the equilibria or attractors are anything like a "true characterization" of these systems. They are simply regions of related behavior that these systems can get temporarily or permanently stuck in.

For human psychology, this model simply says that humans can get into all kinds of "attractor" mindsets, e.g. self-sacrificing, defensive, fearful, etc. These mindsets have extrinsics such as sadistic behavior, altruism, consistent procrastination, etc. They also have intrinsics, such as feeling constant angst, holistic safety, or over-arching pessimism.

Under this model, at least, it makes sense that people may 100% in a vengeful mindset while at the same time recognizing that to also be a mind-region that feels pretty crappy. We can also then cognate about ways of moving ourselves our others toward other attractors that are "better" in some way.

In Control Theory, the question then becomes about what set of inputs we have available to tweak these mind-environment systems?
Every career you mention is highly regulated.
I am sorry if it appears so but "neighbors" is not some esoteric term, if you use common words to express some special meaning it's on you to convey your intent. Let me rephrase what I understood you were saying: You're prioritizing existing neighbors and uses over the outsiders. Am I right or you meant something else?

I admit that "monoculture" (as well as "straw man") are the words that many people use without knowing their meaning, I got carried away because it's the pretty common to read on HN that there is literally no MFH zoning and no commercial zoning, just SFH.

Scarcity being artificial is your opinion. I see natural scarcity coming from geometry: there are only so much land in certain distance from the given point. And yes, there are about three common ways to live where you want: already own a property, buy a property or rent a property.

I've been in a similar situation. I think you're thinking about this in the wrong way. You want someone else to tell you what to do or how things should work, yet no one on your project knows (and they probably don't care either). You can use this to your advantage.

You should trace how major features or specific functionality actually works according to what the code does (trace all paths and weird edge cases and bug scenarios), then present that this is how 'x' actually works, and if the customer wants to do 'y' here is what we have to do to make it work. You have to take initiative to do deep dives without someone telling you what to do or hand holding.

Then when your PM or manager discusses adding new features you'll know what scenarios can break or need to be re-tested. Everyone else will have no clue and then they'll naturally start asking and looking to you for handling and leading maintenance and new features.

Would you rather have 10% errors each time or 10% of the time the script has an error and could wipe everything out.

Every place I've worked with accepts 10% returns, 10% of visitors leaving immediately, 10% of a customer's data being incorrect somehow.

This has always been my favorite garbage collector. Not because of any performance benefits; I’ve just always liked the elegance of it.

At the dawn of the Squeak Smalltalk era, there was some company (forget which) that did a hybrid Bakers treadmill implementation for some real time stuff.

I did a simplistic implementation in C once for an image processing pipeline to manage labeled regions. Once you get it correct, it’s pretty slick. I used a Fibonacci sizer for the different ring sizes.
My brain is broken, all I can think is that this would make a wonderful deep learning dataset. Too small to train on, but big enough to fine-tune on.

Move to Atlanta, Georgia, or Florida, or the Georgia coast if you can swing mostly remote work. I just met a German in St. Simons, a resort area on the Georgia coast a few hours from Atlanta. He was thrilled with the neighborhood (for his young kid), schools, etc. The Atlanta economy is booming, real estate is still affordable, and if you can swing mostly remote work working on the coast and hopping to the office in Atlanta a few times a month would be very doable.
The NYT is not subject to said "rules or caps" when it advocates for candidates. Neither is Zuckerberg.

I can only tell you my perspective as an ex poker pro who has not studied with solvers.

But the basic idea is that you put in a range of starting hands for yourself and the opponent, and possible bet sizes, and the solver will brute force a play that approximates Nash equilibrium.

The output of the solver will be something like “45% of the time bet. 55% check.” Or “95% fold. 5% raise X”

The general loop as I understand it is inputting tricky/common situations running the solver and basically memorizing it.

AAA games before launch can be seen as high-risk speculative assets. The game gets a few rounds of investment and then when it's still not done, they go begging. Sometimes one publisher pawns the game off onto another, but internal politics equally acts to create horse-trading situations. There are attempts at cost control but they get overridden by the desire to hit every possible marketing bullet point. As the budget creeps up the desire to make back sunk costs rises, so further escalation acts as a way to stop cancellation. There's a lot of executive hot potato causing design changes, but the team's getting funding. So, in theory, at least, the game is shaping up to be "bigger and better".

Finally, the game launches, after passing through so many hands and getting a drop-dead deadline. Crunch is mandated in hopes of getting it somewhat release-worthy, but really, it's just a pile of assets that have been given little time in the oven. Reviewers marvel at the graphics and animation. Individual pieces of the game are polished to hell. The engineers get to give talks about their cool rendering optimization strategy, and the art directors and design leads likewise can talk about how they made art style or design decisions. But it's not representative of a holistic vision - it's enterprise software.

When a studio is bought, it often starts from a point of some coherence. And then the horse trading starts, and the original studio heads leave. So it just becomes another team. And it's hard to avoid that because the whole idea of AAA is to build up the assets and IP, not the teams and their ability to execute. You sacrifice the teams to get an IP, and then find a new team.
This really does redefine the concept of “sunk cost fallacy”.
This really is putting the cart before the horse though, we will have whole genome assembly technology long before we understand functional genomics well enough to do the type of restorative genetic engineering that you propose.
I was getting ready to tell you how wrong you are, but you make a good point - if the wheels are turned all the way and the car is RWD, the rear wheels will just put a bunch of pressure on the front wheels without the car turning, if it's not already in motion.

Of course, the other posters are right about there being way more space up front in RWD.

Btw, you can achieve the maneuver at 1:20 on FWD by dropping the clutch with the front wheels turned all the way even in conventional range. This slides the car into position at extreme angles. Of course, I don't recommend it due to the wear and tear on the tires, suspension, components, clutch, and the possibility that you don't actually slip the tires and back up into the car behind you, but it is doable, especially in rain / snow.
I'm sure they'll figure it out.
Wonder if there are other models. So grants are one. Anything else people experimented with?
Shame is the worst self-censor there is. I often talk to myself to ignore a sense of shame while imploring for a due payment etc. Things do work that way, but I admit, it's not a happy process.
Wow. What a rollercoaster of advice.

The first part is pretty good, but only if the interviewer is a great engineer. If the interviewer is a good engineer, they won't ask the right questions, or will misinterpret answers, and miss details. If the interviewer is a poor engineer, they will simply look for someone just like them. If the interviewer isn't an engineer at all, anyone who can talk about code will sound good enough.

The interview panel should not be skipped. You want different people in the company to look for different things based on their own experiences. And you want enough time to ask a large enough variety of questions that little things you didn't expect will come out. Just because the first interview was great doesn't mean the second won't expose a red flag. The people asking and interpreting the questions matters as much as the questions themselves.

Don't skip people just because they don't have code to show. People who have tons of personal code might also be incredibly opinionated and insufferable and think they are expert engineers when really they are just experts at building sand castles. People with no code might not like to code for fun, or might just have a bunch of half-finished embarrassing toy projects that will make them feel bad to show you. It should be sufficient to show them code and have them tell you about it.

Yes, you do want to ask deep questions. But you should also ask easy general questions, and silly questions.

Also, if you are an engineer, you probably don't understand about 50% of what hiring a person actually entails, because you have not been tasked with dealing with all the human frailties and political and economic and social and other aspects of human beings working for companies. Do not think you are an expert on hiring just because you have been hired before or performed interviews.

As a Canadian who moved to the US to work in big tech, I love it down here!
I'm almost surprised that, after explaining conservation of angular momentum, they didn't propose a bonkers solution like building a pipeline from the sea up a mountain to create a massive artificial glacier to directly regulate the Earth's angular velocity.

It's bonkers, but so is just asking metrologists to stop being so darned concerned with accuracy of time measurement because its causing Facebook to spend money they'd prefer not to spend.
I'm not sure I have a general, abstract answer. But here's a few case studies:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_of_the_privatisation_of...

About the last: the (partial) privatisation of British Rail was a mess. Far from a textbook case. But still ridership numbers that had been in seeming terminal decline picked up in absolute terms, and rail's relative share of the overall transportation market increases total.

https://www.econlib.org/library/Enc1/AirlineDeregulation.htm...

The impact of deregulation of (American) airlines has been tremendous. Flying is now cheaper than ever. But to address my point: flying is still very strictly regulated, just less so than before (especially in the areas of pricing and competition).

https://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/TruckingDeregulation.htm...

https://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/SurfaceFreightTransporta...

Despite common complaints on the Internet, the US is actually still really, really good at running railroads. It's just that their area of competence is freight rail. Passenger rail in the US is anemic.

Guess which part is in government hands, and which one is comparatively free market and less regulated? However, neither area is completely free market or completely state controlled.

Another example: a few years ago Germany legalized long distance busses. The old ban was a hangover from the Nazi era.

https://www.dw.com/en/regulations-eased-on-long-distance-bus... is an overview article from just before the legalization of busses came into effect. I leave it as an exercise for the reader to find some sources from afterwards. Google Translate might be helpful, if you don't read German.

And, of course, legalization and deregulation here just mean different (and a bit less) regulation. There's still plenty of rules. We are talking about Germany, after all.
