Sr. SDE (L6) @ Amazon; everything expressed here is my personal opinion; I do not speak for my company.

On the whole, I think the article is good. I would rather they quantified the bit about "most Amazonians seem to get satisfaction from making a behavioral round intense". The interviews I conduct are not about my satisfaction at all; they're about gathering the data I need to make an inclined / not-inclined decision.

Data and impact / Talk about "I", not "we" / Be as technical as possible -- I ask candidates up front to emphasize these things, and I remind them as necessary throughout the interview if it seems like they're wandering. "I" not "we" is particularly hard for some people, because they reasonably want to come across as a team player.

Name-checking leadership principles -- I don't mind this in and of itself; it can be helpful to have a common framework to discuss the relevant concepts. But candidates should not just use them as a shibboleth; they need to demonstrate that they understand what a given LP actually means in practice, and provide data about how they've applied it to their past work. Casually working in the phrase "customer obsession" three times is not going to make Andy Jassy appear in a puff of smoke and offer you the job on the spot.
I think you can have the scripts talk to each other through Elixir via the BEAM/OTP approach: for each script you will have a GenServer module that manages it in a separate process. Call this module MyApp.ScriptServer and put "use GenServer" at the top of the file. This GenServer process will have a client API, which you can write, which will be how you interact with your script. In the BEAM programming model, processes communicate by sending messages to each other's mailbox, so you set up some logic for this and maybe have another module called MyApp.ScriptCoordinationServer that manages some global state.

This is just my amateur guess -- I'd be happy to hear an Elixir/BEAM/OTP expert chime in.
The old guard like Leo are still resisting the new truth backed by stats. As of Q2, mobile represented nearly 60% of web traffic [1]. You don't need to develop sites with mobile compatibility, but it'd be foolish not to.

It is a very high bar. But I believe that the bar matches the claims made about the technology. Few advocates seem to be talking about cryptocurrencies as a useful tool for incremental progress (granted, this could be my bubble talking). Advocates seem to be saying that it will remake the world in extremely fundamental ways.

no, YC realized that they let a bunch of companies into YC that historically would have never made it in, reducing the value of the brand. This is a great move to more or less shrink the size and use the economy as a reason.
Because wealth can be turned into power.

Because when power is unevenly distributed a few people can make boneheaded decisions that create misery for the many.

To point to the Russian experience the Tsar made the bad decision to take an odyssey the long way around Asia (and Africa for some ships) to attack Japan and they got their asses handed to them in a few hours.

A few months back we had the spectacle of Elon Musk possibly buying Twitter (maybe he was in the running for asshole-in-chief) but I think he got some sense scared into him and he is keeping his head down these days.
I remember around 2019 the suggestions got noticeably worse.

Before then, I remember just browse YouTube in the evening after work, I would find lots of interesting content from channels I didn't follow, it was really fantastic. I still follow many of the channels I found during that time and am thankful to the YouTube algorithm for allowing me to find them.

Suddenly the quality of the recommendations dropped. It was sudden and marked.

Around that time YouTube was getting a lot of criticism for e.g. keeping people in "bubbles", and for showing people who were into right-wing content right-wing content. I mean in a way I would say that sounds like the algorithm is doing exactly what it was supposed to do, showing people content they're interested in. I can only assume they take your preferences into account a lot less now, and show much more content that they consider harmless, so they get criticised less.
Thanks! I had tried that, but I guess I saw the kinds of cars at the top of the list and assumed that "price" meant "actual price of the car",

I was looking for something labeled more like "markup as a percentage of what this car was actually worth".

A dealer with a $1,500 markup on a car worth only $1,200 is much worse than a dealer with a $20,000 markup on a car worth $80,000

I guess it just makes sense that they'd be able to throw a larger markup on cars which are that much more expensive to start with.
I understand PGA and LIV are both for-profit. Do either/both forbid their athletes from competing in charity/non-profit tournaments?

Architects are measured by their results that can easily be reflected in artifacts and real world outcomes.

How can you suggest otherwise?

An architect that isn't able to produce any evidence of their work or contributions, sounds like a strong hire in your mind!

Those are called coattail riders, by the way. 80% or so in the tech industry could give them good company
Microsoft actually experimented with the video streaming model with Mixer, I completely forgot about it.
It's weirder than that; I watched the Silicon Cowboys documentary about compaq, and the archived footage quality takes a sharp dive from the 70s to the 80s as they switched from recording on film to videotape.

Tape quality was good and a lot cheaper, but it doesn't last as long before the video signal gets munged

Of course, the actual history search box is confusingly smaller and off to the side of the much larger search box for all of YouTube.
I'm right there with you, though I struggled through making Marlin work with bltouch. I must have put in 60-80 hours getting that going. Most of it was the struggle of just not knowing what it looked like to get it working and not understanding that I needed to put in some start gcode to Cura. But the obtuseness of the Marlin config definitely didn't help.

Klipper is definitely a more streamlined process though.
The crypto scam industry is going to need to tighten their belts, it sounds like.

No I am referring to async, really. Accidentally blocking operations like open() or psycopg or mongodb or some included library which (accidentally) uses any of that stuff. Basically any library requiring requests is not usable. Or worse: open().

It can be hard to determine if something is doing something blocking and if it is, it is hard to debug. Especially in python world which, unlike javascript, was not async from the start.

I don't see anything this site would have to "limit itself" by to support mobile.
I think the real concern that isn't being said out loud is that it's fear of TikTok's ability to distribute information, and that the US government doesn't have management under their thumb.

The idea that anyone can forget providing products or services or anything of value and just create money itself out of electrons --- and convince millions to buy into it.
IIUC though, the Rust compiler executables are highly unusual in that they dynamically link their main top-level dependency. The vast majority of executables built with cargo do not, and I'm not sure how easy it is for a cargo project to do what the compiler does, i.e. build a top-level crate as a DLL and dynamically link that, while using plenty of static linking within that DLL.
Other than my comment on "simple" I don't see what you mean. I said in another comment I think that being able to watch newer languages evolve is interesting, and this stands out as exactly one of the more interesting tradeoffs of a new toolchain.

The "simple" bit is just me poking fun at Go though, so yeah sure detach away.
Building and Using Managed Components with WebCM
Async doesn't make your code faster, though there are cases where it lets you handle more requests with a single server (especially if you have code that is async). But moreover, if you have libraries that use async code, it's really not ideal if the thing that runs those libraries isn't async. You don't have to like or want it, but it's there for the folks who want or need it.
Establishment companies are always writing new systems or rewriting systems. They will be easy competition if they don't.
You don't have to believe that governments are good stewards of money. You have to believe that they are better stewards of money than Satoshi was when he decided on the mining curve.
A real pain with RTEMS is that it requires a customized GCC version. This means that you're stuck with a specific version unless you apply/update the patches manually to a newer version.

> U.S. Space Force leadership says the approach will prioritize the general wellness of service members beyond just one physical assessment each year. The annual tests have [spurred eating disorder symptoms] and other unhealthy behaviors in some military members.

The article NPR links to, making the case that the annual physical assessment tests have spurred eating disorder symptoms, links to another page (a study) which is the apparent underlying evidence of the claim. The study looked at Iraq and Afghanistan war era Veterans and examines the prevalece of what they are calling Atypical Anorexia Nervosa (AAN). Upon review, I see zero evidence in the study connecting the assessment test with the disease. The authors of the study make no such claim.

When I see articles like the one linked by OP I am a bit perplexed. Is the NPR reporter/author intentionally misleading the reader? Are they just too lazy or unintelligent to sufficiently research the topic they are writing about?

Ubuntu is great but these days I recommend Pop!_OS from System76 instead (https://pop.system76.com). It is based on Ubuntu with a much nicer UI and also has a more forgiving installation experience.
There is a scripting interface for office that is pretty easy to use:

Agree! Up the number of workers to 40, fix your application in another way... or indeed go with async stuff! ;-)

I was just saying that async quite often is not of much help and just complicates things. Of course it has its use! Your case is a great example of converting a django view into an async view.
TikTok makes me incredibly angry and I need to vent about it somewhere so I am going to vent about it here.

I have ADHD. TikTok is almost certainly designed in a way to directly exploit that fact. It really makes me angry. It feels like they are making a real attempt to take my agency away and to create a product that triggers me so viscerally that I can't keep away from it. I feel like I am intentionally being taken advantage of by TikTok.

I had TikTok installed for one day and vowed never again.

Is this how gambling addicts feel about casinos? Or how smokers feel about cigarette companies?

Depends on the language.

For .NET based ones, WPF or if feeling adventurous since it is still in preview MAUI (which uses WinUI 3.0 + WinAppSDK on Windows).

WinAppSDK is the new name for Project Reunion.

UWP is supposed to be deprecated and on the way out, but given the slowness of WinUI 3.0 improvements, apparently even Microsoft teams are still using it, e.g. the new Windows 11 appstore.

For those using C++, on the MS GUI stack, as rediculous as it might seem, MFC is still the best they can do.

There was a short while where C++/CX seemed to be Microsoft catching up with C++ Builder in regards to RAD tooling for C++ developers on Windows, but C++/WinRT mutiny killed that dream.

So all things considered, Win32/MFC for C++ devs, Win32/WPF for .NET ones, unless feeling adventurous and not afraid of code rewrites.
Noting that a typical middle class lifestyle is comparable to a pig being held in a cage for a meaningless life and eventual slaughter probably does in fact meet the full definition of cynical.
How do you figure that? 8 hours a day * 5 days a week * 50 weeks a year = 2000 hours per year; over a 40-year working life that's 80K hours. Seems like a completely normal pace.

Enabling async means those already invested in Django can do more on one machine without a complete rewrite, and those considering it can adopt it with fewer reservations. There will always be more scalable platforms out there, but enabling async with Django helps it serve the “sweet spot” in terms of both ergonomics and scalability.
You push a narrative by including 'western' there. Non western nations also have tremendous wealth inequality.
I consume a lot of YouTube content. I have also been a full time content creator for the past decade (so I consider myself a dinosaur in social media land).

I have noticed significantly less interesting content on YouTube over the past 2 years, but I attribute most of it to a lack of small creators on the platform now.
It takes a ton of time and effort to even make a good 10 minute video. This is a big time commitment on top of your other job, family, etc.

10 years ago there were no professional outfits on YouTube. Then everyone started to "grow up". About 5 years ago people started seeing there was money to be made on YouTube, so a ton of new creators joined the platform and there was tons of content. Fast forward to now and creators have realized it's actually very hard to live off YouTube, so a lot of them have moved on.

If all they want to do is show off their project they now turn to Instagram and/or TikTok. If all you are after is likes (and don't care about monetization) it is actually way easier on those platforms (due to their discovery engines) with a fraction of the production time.

I think YouTube knows this (hence shorts). The general rule of thought around YouTube now is to grow your brand using shorts and then monetize it using long form videos. So unless a creator has a large enough following to support their work making long form videos (over 90s) there is really no incentive anymore.
You're taking a specific case (low amount of data, high egress) and comparing an offer specialized for that use case (r2) with a general-purpose offer. Amazon S3, for example, would not perform better than upcloud here (I calculated $50,000), and that comparison may be more adapted.

Though I agree that neither ovh nor upcloud have an offer tailored to that use (I think in that case using a CDN instead may be the more adapted). That offer may or may not exist on the EU market but I'm too lazy to search for it

On a sidenote, I didn't know about r2, thanks for the tip
What makes you say that? Admittedly most of my backpacking-like travel days are long behind me, but border crossings typically aren't that difficult or expensive. EU is probably the hardest (almost certainly needed the visas before you arrived). Most of SE Asia and Africa you'd just hand over a few USD at the border, get a stamp, and keep moving.
Focus on getting code standards implemented at your place, like variable naming etc, and if they can't follow that get better coders I guess?
Everything's a composite. Unless there's a writers room book on it (and I don't think there is), anything else is speculation.

In the context of comedy, to be specific, she seemed to be a composite of the Maxwell car and Rochester from the Jack Benny Show mixed with the 1950s sitcom Beulah. The sarcastic Yiddish Brooklynite is a generalized trait that got put on a bunch of characters (Ethel Mertz, the honeymooners, bugs bunny, Frank Nelson, the mother-in-law etc)

Maybe there's a definitive interview in some trade magazine somewhere. It's not as immediately direct as "The Flintstones is The Honeymooners"
Why do you assume you need a framework? JS in the ES6 world is a perfectly adequate language, and the obvious RESTful API back into the server can be coded directly. Hand code your HTML and CSS, and if you don't know how--learn.

On the server side, I use Python CGI's for very lightly used API's, a Python microserver for moderate, and Golang for high performance.
People creating content to scratch their own itch -> people creating content to make money

But YouTube is also giving more room to spammers, they make more money when you have to watch 3 videos than when you watch 1. Unfortunately there's a big lack of ethics in the tech community.

Ive been thinking for a while that Netflix could. They desperately need to seperate themselves from the competition and they already have the video distribution tech and captive audience to launch a real challenge to youtube.
Ha fair enough a strong term. Forgive me I am just venting a bit about a wider pattern of these sort of headlines: "Why YOU aren't saving enough for retirement", "Why YOU need to eat fewer avocados", etc.

A couple weeks ago I went through and revamped my Ender 3 Pro (modified) including switching over to Klipper, and it's a joy! So nice to have just a text config file that I can modify with "vi" on the Raspberry Pi and tell the printer to reload, rather than having to build Marlin in VSCode and move the firmware around on SD card. Working great!

My Ender 3 Pro is upgraded with the SRK Mini E3 v2, Creality Sprite hot-end+extruder, and CR-Touch (switched from BLTouch, because BLTouch is too long for Sprite).
Which is also nonfunctional, useless, not for human consumption. You can't filter those in any way. It looks like a relic from the 90s :DDD. Anything else you want to add?
If you have one part of your app that needs async, but 90% of it is in the sweet spot for Django, then this could be important.
It always depends on the situation, but I do value the stateless approach "by default" of PHP because it makes shoddy code / legacy code that has grown through generations of uninterested developers much easier to deal with.

I of course value at least partial "stateless" (functional core / hexagonal architecture, event driven architecture) in any language, because they reduce complexity so much.

Chess.com isn't _allowing_ anyone to do anything, right? There are sponsors and streamers, and chess.com there in the middle but there's no specific reason it has to be them, or that streamers for example couldn't be sponsored directly.
