That's about as vague as one can get. What exactly does "interesting" mean to you?

You could work for a police department doing tech work for them. You could work at a sewer district helping them out with calculating flows on computers or whatever. You could work at a hospital doing some kind of tech thing. You could move to Alaska and work for their State Parks calculating the movement of tagged bears. You could go to a university health school and see if develop measuring programs, like maybe some professor wants to measure and weigh poop for some reason, you could create a poop measuring app.

I don't know, man. What is interesting to you? How would any one know?

The utter reality is there is no such thing as a interesting job. That's the long and short of it. Almost any job, generally speaking, is interesting for the first year or two. Then it is just a drudge job, with the same people, having the same conversations day after day, doing the same thing. No matter what it is, not just technology. Accounting, janitorial work, truck driver, lumberjack....it all gets boring, if you're that type of person.

Me...I usually like every job. I worked at a factory job that consisted of taking a stack of 100 cups and putting them into a box - about 12 stacks in a box. I did that every day, I was a machine, doing the same exact movements all day. I really dug it, it was so zen. Hypnotized me for 12 hours (I worked 12 hour days - 3 days on, 2 off, 4 on...that kind of deal). I love working retail, which I know people hate, but I love it. I loved working at McDonalds for my first job ever. That was the best job I ever had. I liked working as a programmer. I liked pretty much everything.

It kind of reminds me of a story. A man was driving down the road from one town to another, was moving to the second town. He was driving and saw a farmer working in the field on his fence, so he stopped and asked the farmer what were the next town's people like as he was moving there. The farmer asked him what the last town's people were like, and the man said that they were horrible. The farmer said that the next town's people were horrible, too.

Later that day, it so happened that another* man was driving down that same road and stopped to talk to the same exact farmer. The man asked the farmer what were the next town's people like as he was moving there. The farmer asked him what the last town's people were like, and the man said that they were great people. The farmer said that the next town's people were great people, too.

So...the moral of the story is that all jobs are great, or all jobs are boring. Just depends on you.
I had to drive about 45 miles on a donut tire between Provo and SLC, and decided to put on my flashers and drive about 10 miles per hour to reduce the wear on it.

It was a lovely drive, and I saw so many things along the road that I had just sped by before.

While driving I had the strange thought: "Only the very rich, and the very poor, can afford to travel slowly."
I think this is more age related. I am actually in Japan currently and I can attest that no-one I know will drink daily like in Europe, possibly weekly but the weekly drinks tend to be far stronger and bigger. A European will have a couple of glasses of wine a day and go clubbing every week, Japanese on the other hand tend to only drink occasionally, attend one of the work parties at work with the older guys who don't want to go home - the idea of the older men who don't want to return to annoying homes is common even in Europe
This is useful when you don't have a good prior for where to set your threshold. If you have a firm threshold, yes, you're right that it isn't all that useful.

The form of the solution also suggests a "good-enough" variant, useful when speed or simplicity is more important than optimality: reject the first option you find that genuinely meets all your needs. Accept the next thing you find that beats that first option. It is kind of surprising how often having this sort of approach in your back pocket can come in handy.
On that note, I recently read that Asahi now has pretty much a finished driver for the M1 GPU. How did they pull that off that quickly? Was there extensive documentation available?

Thanks to nouveau being mediocre at best and lagging 2 or 3 generations behind until it has usable support for a GPU, I always assumed writing a decent GPU driver through reverse engineering must be next to impossible.

So what's up with Asahi? Were there just some gifted Wunderkind working on it? Is the architecture so much simpler? Is there more information available? Iirc it's based on powerVR, so not completely unknown, but then again the nouveau team got some hints from Nvidia in the past, and also they have been working on it for a really long time in comparison. Just really curious.
The most natural evolution forward would seem to be processing with unconventional quantum-effect phenomena, probably operation specific (addition, multiplication, ...). So not quantum computers in the sense of implementing quantum circuits, but rather opportunistic exploitation of quantum effects. These foundries and manufacturing equipment companies would logically sit on their insights as it might turn out to be a slow but steady march towards miniaturized quantum computers eventually.

Think of how thick towels started as a manufacturing defect: a machine in a conventional cloth factory had a part break down, and instead of churning out the usual flat cloth it erroneously wasted a loop of yarn at each 'weave' (for lack of better words as I'm not into weaving). Having no immediate solution at hand to recover the yarn from the thick cloth was sold / distributed as scrap. The problem of the machine was identified and fixed. The users of the cheap scrap came back for more as they discovered the superior water absorbing qualities... Since the fault was documented they could intentionally reproduce the desired 'faulty' cloth.
I'm not sure, in most places I've worked there are multiple people doing these things and some of the parts, like understanding accessibility rules is left to one person to handle, so there is some minor separation of tasks.

Is it possible that it was those tests and code in the TDD cycle that helped you realise you’d gone down the wrong path?

And if not, perhaps there was a preconceived idea of the code block and what it was going to do, rather than specifying the behaviour wanted via the RGR cycle. With a preconceived idea, with or without the tests, if that idea is wrong, you’ll hit the dead end and have to back track. Fortunately I find that even though I do sometimes find myself in this situation, quite often those tests can be repurposed fairly quickly rather than being chucked away, after all the tests are still software, and not hardware.

Finding worms in your excrement is pretty distressing in modern times even with cause and treatment clearly understood, it must have been vastly more so when the only aetiology was based on the cockamamie humours model, and treatments were so haphazard. The same is true for many other diseases of course, but there is something especially and viscerally repulsive about worm parasites.

I also live in Japan currently and I find the drinking culture to be weak. I've met a few people who drink daily but they tend to come from other parts of Asia (Korea etc...) where drinking is very common. This article might be alluding to a age difference considering I am in my early twenties.
Turning my burner up to max my carbon steel wok has gotten up to 700. Before I knew better, I had an old non-stick wok and on the first use the coating came off at high temperatures. Never actually cooked in it, threw it out and went for the carbon steel instead.

Many ovens have their top temp at 550F. And when the broiler is on, it can go well above that (although in a smaller more focused area).
How exaclty are farmers "stealing" from the soil, when the same patch of land has been used for monocultures a hundred years or more? To me it seems to be a pretty stable cycle at this point, where the soil is not the limiting factor (cf increasing yields over the same period)
It is, when you prior is that the populations should be different with a difference in the opposite direction.

- If so, how many people as creative as Edison languished because their handwriting sucked.
There was a concern that the hydrogen bomb would do that. Probably just a scare story.

These are the arguments that are always made. The thing is we still devote too much cropland to animals because we have a demand that couldn't possibly be met by grazing animals.

Take wild moose as an example. My home country has an artificially high moose pupilation due to current forresting practices. Yet the annual yield is only something like 3% of the Swedish meat consumption.

Removing crops as a part of animal feed would mean something like reducing our meat consumption by 90%.

Edit: and there are ways of maintaining a healthy soil without animals. I have done it in a very small scale for my plantations (just 40m2) and there are examples of people doing it on a much larger scale. I have yet to find data about yields though, but they seem competitive.
It's useful if you don't know what $threshold is or if you want to get more "bang for your buck".

I believe there's a chapter in Freakonomics that deals with this problem and, if I'm not mistaken, talks about a situation where you might want to figure out some of the best places to eat in town without needing to visit all the places in town.
I actually found most of them to be pretty reasonable.

> It has to run on most systems, anything with a C compiler, so D is out.

Personally, this probably wouldn't be such a huge factor for me.

I actually think that something like Go would also be suitable for most of those other rules.

That said, the question eventually becomes about how often those actually are factors that might influence one's choice.

For example, in many cases the startup times won't be such a big deal (e.g. webapps with multiple instances), nor will runtime performance (e.g. Python scripts for shuffling some data around).
This seems perfectly reasonable btw. The extension to the in-app browser existing and logging non-tiktok browsing is troublesome.

Perhaps Apple should ban in-app browsers? But what about Safari? Apple itself collects and benefits from Safari data for its ad product
Just to reiterate, the primary reason for those items to exist is not criminality, even if they are useful to criminals.

I would like to challenge the notion of the drop of religion being a recent phenomenon. In fact I would counter its been going on at least several centuries. After all, Nietzsche was saying God is dead in the 19th century.

Even before this, the renaissance was a period filled with a turning away from religion and of reintegration of older classical stories and ideas. Descartes and Newton, though religious, introduced a fully mechanical model of the universe which has been growing in strength ever since.

Even in the meditations Marcus Aurelius carefully considers the idea of the universe consisting of nothing but atoms and their motions
Oven thermometers are cheap, but barring that, use inexpensive canola or vegetable oil sparingly; just enough to make it shiny, and turn the knob to 350F (or whatever setting you use by default when baking or cooking).

If the coating turns white, recoat with oil and try a lower temperature or less time. Cast iron is an extremely old technology, and was common back in the days of wood stoves. It doesn’t require precision instruments to maintain it.

If you somehow ruin the seasoning, you can always scrape it with steel wool and try again. I once forgot a mini skillet in a frequentLy used propane grill for ~ 3 years, then left it outdoors with a burnt off coating for winter or two. I spent 5 minutes scrubbing rust off it in the sink, then oiled and seasoned it. We use it for sunny side up eggs these days.
This article might be alluding to an age difference since I am in my early twenties, but I can attest that I am a weak drinker but I drink more alcohol than virtually every Japanese person I have known - only Westerners and a number of Asians such as Koreans can drink in the same pattern as me. If you are an older person then it is common everywhere for married men to drown their sorrows in bars and pubs etc...

That also means they weren’t being run. So you aren’t even doing tests, let alone TDD.
It's not been used as a monoculture. Grassland is incredibly complex. Maintaining farmland is incredibly complex.
Weirdly enough, I went through school before then and learned cursive and I only use it on receipts and the occasional bank check. It has little to do with cursive being taught and more to do with cursive, and handwriting in general, being irrelevant.

One issue is that the main info browser is in Emacs, so if you're not an Emacs user, Info pages aren't that accessible. There is a standalone info browser but it's not as nice as the Emacs one. And there are html converters but those are even worse. Back in the day, I doubt that it occurred to anyone that a lot of GNU users might someday not use Emacs.

I do constantly use the Info documentation for Org-mode and a few other things, but it is observable (and annoying) that some large GNU programs like bash are documented only as man pages afaict.

No we really understand that the whole religion of only writing code after a failing test only applies to niche cases of libraries for headless applications in monoliths.

This has to be the most 'Irish' mishap in history ever, perhaps.

Both machines and humans can easily follow links, that's precisely why hypermedia was invented.

The part for humans is the HTML form I'm typing on. Humans _can_ type in HTTP/1.1 non-chunked requests by hand, but I don't see it that often.

For developers, you might think that the URIs are "the UI" of an API, but they were not designed to be used in that way.

We were meant to use the HTML rel= attribute to inform our machine clients on how to navigate links. We still do, sometimes. rel=stylesheet is a vestigial trace of that. rel=nofollow still informs clients of irrelevant URLs to this day.

We use HATEOAS all the time, we're just not using the standards designed to express them. A complete API schema (what seems to be the cool thing these days), in the eyes of REST, is nothing but a giant complex hypermedia form written in an unspecified media type. The "blog_id" is nothing but a lofi link, and so on.

The problem is that fabricating a chip has upfront costs measured in 10s of millions for the masks, and the chips that come out aren't all uniform -- there is more work required to do to capture variations in power consumption, rejecting bad parts, etc in order to bin them to target different price points. It's hard to do at a reasonable cost per chip without huge volume.

That's a good point. It's like how writing a good email is pretty essential these days, and people might lose out these days because of poor "online" communication
10 yellow/red flags in the story that young people can use to avoid this:

1. Multiple small grammar issues like spaces and capitaliation: the screenshot at the bottom shows the original Linkedin ping. It shows multiple small grammar issues like too many exclamation points, missing spaces between sentences, a randomly capitalized word like "New", and unnatural phrasing, like "Therefore..." which is more at home a mathematical proof than a recruitment email. A lot of scammers are not native english speakers and/or often the message is translated to english from another language using something like Google Translate. But the HR person of a US/western company will always ping you with a templated message which was probably written by a native speaker and/or proof-read (since it's a template re-used 1000s of times). It still may have a typo, but not multiple obvious ones like random capitalization.

2. Email address: when a recruiter emails you, it'll be from their real work email, like john.smith@example.com. This is because HR people know that more personalized pings have higher open and response rates. Companies never send outgoing recruitment emails from an address like info@example.com.

3. Job title: the job title here is "Remote Product Design Manager". In real life it's more likely to be "Product Design Manager" with remote being not capitalized and mentioned elsewhere. Here the "Remote" is part of the bait.

4. Domain name: doesn't match. Domain names are part of a company's identity, so recruiters will definitely use one of the "main" domain names of the company.

5. Recruitment loops usually takes several weeks, rarely less than a month. So being asked to be online at a specific time for updates is unheard of (to me), because recruiters know that they may take anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks to get any sort of feedback.

6. Too good to be true: no serious company will offer you a job based on 1 interview.

7. CIO: why would the CIO of a large 7000+ person company like Splunk talk to a fresh-out-of-school new hire?

8. Apple Watch Series 7: why would a company buy you a watch? (Unless you're working on the watch product.)

9. Send hardware to the company: this rarely happens like this. Companies procure the hardware themselves (they get volume pricing, and usually have their own stock), install corporate software like VPN software, and then give/send it to new employees. This is true for laptops, phones, etc.

10. Linking cards: I don't understand what happened, but companies never ask you to link your personal stuff (whether it's a bank card or your personal gmail) to company stuff. Your personal stuff is like poison to them, they want to keep it away from corporate stuff.
