> Windows, Mac or Linux? Do I get a choice?

Beware that if this is a hard-requirement for you, you might get "cheated" and or disappointed. They might tell you it's all fine that you use Linux, but then you go and see it's not linux-friendly at all as there's a shitload of things that keep breaking or you have to use a specific distro version, due to some required software or configurations the company requires you to use ...
Yeah, the U series are the correct comparisons against the basic/pro M1/M2, the H is much more like the Max, and the M1 Ultra, if you're actually using that additional power, is somewhere between a H series and a desktop CPU.
The assumption from the forum discussions is that it has nothing to do with other AirTags as the battery goes back to normal when people remove their AirTag.

I had the tag on my bike which is the basement so 3 floors down.
It just barely reached it from my bedroom, still very impressive.
The assumption is that it has something to to with the tracking prevention where the iPhone is somehow telling the AirTag that it is still in the vicinity.
If the AirTags is at the edge of the receiving/sending radius this might need a lot more power. Maybe due to retransmission, etc and therefor for causes my battery drain over night.
The same sort of thing should be possible for various kinds of native too. You'll need a selenium-esque library that can interact with UIs and take screenshots in your environment.

But yeah, if you dont have one of those tools or its super unreliable or it's only available in a language you cant use then you cant do this.

I dont really consider this to be bending the rules of TDD. It's more like next gen TDD IMO.
Presumably the "source control" for the kernel was a disciplined system with competent people in charge of tracking versions, not wildly sending around "project_v2 final (1).zip".
For a lot of candidates, "we don't really view source control as something we need to innovate on and prefer to ship features" is the right answer, and if that's your answer and the person is combative about it, well, that sounds like you just got a pretty clear signal about hiring that person, which is the whole point of interviewing anyway.

I heard the latest ice age was rough too
The first laptop that I was truly happy with was my Acer Aspire One I bought in 2008 for $250. It had a 9" display, so slightly bigger than this GPD, but pretty close. With Gentoo Linux it was fast, and with Compiz wobbly windows it really looked like something from the future. One of the best parts was that it was so cheap that I didn't need to worry much about dropping or breaking it.

Eventually the solid state drive stopped working. It had some non-standard connection and it was going to cost $100 to replace, so in the end I just upgraded to a ThinkPad like a normal person. I like my ThinkPad, but it never brought me the same joy as that $250 netbook.
Nope, Spectre type attacks work on ARM too: https://www.pcgamer.com/intel-amd-and-arm-cpus-hit-by-new-sp...

Now the existing discovered ones may not, but I'm sure in time there will be ones for Apple Silicon too. Just like how people for the longest time thought AMD was safer than Intel in this regard, or that ARM wasn't vulnerable.
Arguably, that honor goes to the Seven Years' War, which saw significant fighting both in Europe and in North America.

The French Revolutionary Wars/Napoleonic Wars were equally grand in scale, and conducted at a time when the "world" for all practical purposes included only European powers--all of the major ones got involved in those conflicts at one point or another; even the newly-independent US got peripherally involved (the War of 1812 is partially started due to the effects the Napoleonic Wars had on US shipping).

I'd propose that none of the answers to these questions matter. The follow-up question is what matters: "Is it working? And if not, what is the plan to correct it?"

You'll get far more insights into asking why and how they make their choices than just asking what their current decisions are.
The author refers to it as "declarative programming" when they talk about functional programming.

I would link to the section "Functional, declarative programming" but there are no anchors. The table of contents (which the author calls a "minimap") is not clickable either.
> If what source control or oss libs we use are a dealbreaker then you're a problem waiting to happen.

Please reconsider this point of view, and here's why. I've actually asked this question :)

The reason is, that the company was huge but not in IT. I wanted to know if they actually used source control. Turns out, another team used TFS, but this one didn't. That was useful information.
The team you describe exudes some hardcore woodcutter vibes.
everyone has a copy. you email patches to someone whose job it is to review them and maintain the release version. they publish that to everyone else who uses it to replace their local version. repeat.
Yeah. This is part of the issue that legislative codification is supposed to deal with. A new law is often making a diff to the old one, and you can either keep a pile of diffs in hand and work out what the current state is in your head, or you can try to make sure there is a 'master version' (the Code) which you keep patching and can check out a fresh version of when you need to read it.

England and Wales (my home jurisdiction) doesn't have either criminal or civil codes as such, but it does do a fair number of consolidating statutes - almost exactly like this new RFC. The Sexual Offences Act 2003, for example, made some changes but also consolidated the current state of sexual offences law into a single Act[0]. (You can also now see the 'as amended' versions on the web for all Acts, which is useful. If you want to know which bits of Magna Carta are still in force, well now you can[1]. This Act has the additional problem that source control was fairly shoddy in 1297 and it's not entirely clear what the actual text in force is...)

Find best places to work while traveling
Hello,

One most difficult thing is find a great place to work when you are travel. So i decided to make a sheet to sharing some cool places to work (coworkings, coffeshop, squares..) and meet new people and maybe your new pattern or bestfriend.

I recorded a video with advice about designing a webhooks system a couple of months ago: https://www.svix.com/blog/webhook-architecture-design/

lol look at that lil thing!
I wouldn't fully agree, because while senior engineers don't often discuss "code quality" syntax/aesthetic issues, it is quite common for people to discuss bugs/edge-cases that need fixes or to discuss simpler approaches to achieve business goals or getting rid of difficult to maintain logic/services.
As for me, I would simply respond ”sure, I’ve been a member for ages”. I have no comments here that I would be ashamed of.

>I'm assuming the grids compose, so I can work on one group (say name-address set) and it'll be well behaved when added into a larger layout grid.

Yes. That will work as expected.

>Here the labels and inputs in a and d, as well as b and e, should automatically line up vertically, including if say b's label changes due to a dynamic event.

This is where not rolling your own UI elements are faster. They will have been tested and any serious problems would have been addressed. But, even if you do roll your own, you can expect to be able to line up labels and fields both vertically and horizontally, even if the labels dynamically change (although watch for line wrapping if that is a possibility).

But, generally, your idea would work. I typically use flexbox unless I have a reason to use grid. For example if the entire flow of a page design changes between desktop and mobile, I normally use grid or if I need things consistently centered both vertically and horizontally, I use grid.

For laying out form UI elements, there are tons of examples that you can easily find online to fit the look and feel you are looking for.

If you have not settled on a stack yet, Svelte and Solid will offer the snappiness you are used to with desktop apps (due to no duplicate/virtual DOM). The drawback being that plugin elements are more readily available for more popular frameworks like React, however imho the plugins for Svelte or Solid tend to be better written.
The tests were the friends we made along the way, and inside all of us all along >D

I'm obviously cherry picking, but if an applicant asks me a series of questions akin to "what source control tool do you use and why" I'm going to begin doubting that this person can focus on actually shipping product.

Asking a question like that in an interview is less about the answer and more about the ability to answer.

Any reasonably competent dev doing the interviewing will be able to rattle off an answer and a valid reason in a few seconds. It's really obvious. It requires no thought. There's no subtle complexity to be explained. If the interviewer can't answer, or they waffle on about complex stuff, then you can know that the company doesn't have the devs who are hands on with the code in the interview process which is a really big red flag.
I do think it's good advice to keep a largish list of questions to a more advanced stage (doesn't need to be at the point of offer necessarily, but anything before an in-person or equivalent interview shouldn't demand too much time), but after that I think it's a reasonable ask that a company put about as much effort selling themselves as the interviewee does.

If for example you're asking for a take home assignment or a multi-hour technical interview, it's not unreasonable at all to ask for a largish list of questions.
While that's true, there are work arounds. Github does support Subversion. Having found myself on a team (in the past) that was tied to an outdated version control solution (source safe), you can still use Git locally to facilitate branches, rebasing and most everything else. Thankfully that's a rare occurrence these days.

Nice one

Can drop the "and why" for that though.
Comparing use of nuclear weapons in Japan to allowing russia to, uncontested, wage a war of invasion against Ukraine is silly. Japan started a war of aggression with the United States. We, as people with the benefit of hindsight, probably agree on whether nuclear weapons were an appropriate place to take the war. But don’t forget that Japan brought war to the US, just as russia has brought war to Ukraine.

As for Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq, I can look at US military moral failures there and still condemn russia’s epic moral failure in Ukraine. Incidentally, US’s invasion of Afghanistan after 9/11 was far more justified than the soviet invasion of Afghanistan previously. If soviets hadn’t waged a similar immoral expansionist war there, I’m confident there’d have been no taliban.

No, the US isn’t morally pure, but Ukraine’s blood is on russia’s hands alone.
I think you're counting all casualties caused by Central Powers as a consequence of Germany's invasion of France.

It can be seen like that but you should make clear that it assumes German single responsibility for the war, including for her Allies' actions against civilians, and also indirect consequences such as deaths caused by malnutrition.

Then you would arrive at 3.78 million deaths, worst-case

> One can have a private parking spot without privacy, though. Or a private pilot license.

This is equivocating between two distinct and separate definitions of "private." You are mixing these homonyms.

In the sense you're using in the quote I pulled from your comment, it means intended for or restricted to the use of a particular person, group, or class, but in the sense that it is used in Virtual Private Network, it means something else, namely not known or intended to be known publicly; secret.
I think you're correct. The machine key[^1] is really just the public-private key pair that drives identity across tailscale. It should be possible to store it on a persistent fly.io volume or to store it as a secret passed on startup. It feels a bit too dirty for my taste haha.

But often you don't know at all how to best solve a problem, since the solution will probably need to touch many existing code units somehow.

It might work if you are starting on some new, relatively self-contained feature...

It's not "their" linux support it's linux software support for ARM. A lot of software has x86 SIMD acceleration but doesn't necessarily have ARM SIMD acceleration.
Crucially, the optimal solution depends on the specific constraints. So you can’t just take a solution derived under one set of assumptions and use it in another situation without losing whatever guarantees it made in the original case.
I think the problem with open-ended questions is that it gives the person asked the opportunity to focus exclusively on the positive. With a question like "tell me about your development process", it's broad enough that it would be easy to miss what they aren't focusing on.

I agree a lot of these are extremely specific, but I think there's probably a middle ground where questions can be probing without being extremely specific.
> There's this whole scene of people who do performative, almost theatrical, quality programming but nigh on forgot how to actually ship features

Did you consider that a candidate who asks about "pair programming" or "SOC2 compliance" or "SLAs" might be asking that so she can avoid such jobs?

Of course, the list is far too long.
That's fine; the idea is to get an idea what it's like working there in general. If they have problems, I might expect similar problems. All things being equal I'd prefer the job where people are happier and have fewer problems overall.
"Arrhenius estimated doubling CO₂ would produce a world 5℃ hotter. This, thankfully, is higher than modern calculations but not too far off, considering he wasn’t using a sophisticated computer model!"

This is talking about the variable called "equilibrium climate sensitivity". Climate sensitivity is a key question in any fact-based discussion of climate change. There are three problems with this statement:

1. ECS calculations based on empirical measurement come in far, far lower than 5 degrees, more like 1.7-2.5 degrees and this has been falling over time, e.g. measurement based estimates of ECS in 2001 were higher than they are today.

2. ECS calculations based on models (which scientists should consider weaker evidence than observational data, but don't) are extremely uncertain, with estimates ranging from 2 to 4 degrees.

3. The range of values models use for ECS are getting wider over time, not narrower as you'd expect.

So it's really tough to say that Arrhenius was close given that modern climatologists have no idea what the correct value for ECS is even though they've been studying it intensively for 40 years, that their "sophisticated computer models" disagree very deeply about the right value and this is getting worse with time, and that all those values are still too high when compared to studies that aren't modelling based.

It's also worth noting that even the headline is totally misleading. Today climate change is used as a synonym for global warming but for long periods scientists were telling the world that "climate change" meant a new ice age. As late as 1975 (when the switch from cooling to warming was well underway) Newsweek was telling readers that "To scientists, these seemingly disparate incidents represent advance signs of fundamental changes in the world's weather. The central fact is that after three quarters of a century of extraordinarily mild conditions, the Earth's climate seems to be cooling down".

http://www.denisdutton.com/newsweek_coolingworld.pdf

So the article is trying to make it seem like scientists have been talking about global warming for over a century, but that isn't true. We could call it misinformation, perhaps. The physics of CO2 were understood for a long time but there's so much more to the climate than just CO2 that this isn't enough to be able to make accurate predictions.
Well, if that's true then it's evidence for my pet theory, that the "3nm process in which nothing is 3nm" trend started like this:

CEO: Okay, we will have the 20nm node ready by Q4 next year, right?

Engineer: No, you see, there are quantum effects...

CEO: You're fired!

(Q1 next year:)

CEO: Now, we need to have this 20nm node ready by the end of the year!

New engineer: Sure, we will have the "20nm node" ready by then.
I had impression that "bugs" notion migrated to programs from bugs found in books.

In older days, getting a used book from an unknown house/shop carried serious risks of receiving an infestation of some bugs (bedbugs, cockroaches, etc).

So one had to be wary of this and not put such stray books right into the bookshelf with the rest of the good books. Thus some valuable books did have bugs.

I could imagine a possible bug infestation in a stack of punch cards. Though the program printout can have "bugs" by association with a book.
> …but in large population there will always be gullible/oblivious people.

Probably why they’re targeting students as it is quite common for them to never have a job before graduation college. On top of that if they have no friends or family who work in tech they won’t know what is standard practice or not.

It sounds like they baited them by paying off the existing balance of the card from the linked “corporate account” to gain their confidence then went in for the kill. Hustle season 1 episode 1 level stuff.
