Maybe just really unlucky timing on my part but not the normal progression you see. I know these type topics are typically removed from the spotlight by staff out of a presumption that the comments won’t be productive.

> The answer is simple: Elder care should be a publicly delivered service.

It is. Medicare pays for almost all Elder care. Which of course is the problem - private pay nursing homes are way better than the publicly funded ones because Medicare pays far less.

Or at you implying that the Government should directly own nursing homes, and hire the staff directly? That has a whole different set of problems - don't advocate for that without understand what you are asking.

You end up with centralized decision making for something very local.

You are misunderstanding the problem - the issue is not privatization, the issue is that Medicare does not pay enough, and nursing homes try to find private pay clients to make up the shortfall.

Yeah, it depends on what you want to prioritize and value in your search engine. I’m coming at it from the angle that if you want to make a good, new, and different kind of search engine you need to do something fundamentally different than Google. No one is going to beat Google at their own game. Leveraging meta data is a very easy way to make something new and different, but it won’t be as comprehensive as Google. I doubt that someone doing what you described over a few months or year could make a search engine that anyone wanted to use.

Now take that list, throw it in the rubbish bin and wash your hands thoroughly.

Take home challenges are simply an absurd waste of time and a huge disrespect towards your candidates personal time. You ask them to spend 4 or more hour of their free time on a useless, throwaway excersise that you "review" in 5 minutes and you conclude they're good enough because they laid out code the way you like it... You never see the really important things that you should be screening for: how they explain their approach, their though process, how well they communicate, the compromises they had to make to fit within the timeframe, and why they'd made those compromises, how they react and adapt to changing requirements and feedback...

It's just flawed on so many levels...

As a new Engineering Manager I've eliminated the take home challenge in my new company in favour of this process:

- You have open source code or closed code that you can show? Walk me through it. Our best engineers passed the interview this way.

- You don't have code to show, 1 hour live coding challenge, focus on communication, search want you want online, ask us any questions, and explain what you're doing.

We had about 40 such interviewes this year, one person refused the live challenge, 11 passed this stage, and we ended up with 7 hires accepting the offer.

I feel like one success story doesn't necessarily make it good advice for everyone else.

Maybe in the world where your customer base is flexible (students), and where your product "doesn't really matter", then hey, why not break it from time to time. The penalty for failure, is well, zero.

In a different context though small errors can result in very large penalties, even extinction. In which case this strategy will (and certainly has many times) failed.

Advice without context is dangerous. Before adopting any advice (especially "how we did it" stories from survivors) it's worth really understanding the external factors that aided in that success.

Huh? What generation is this? I use that button all the time in my 95B.2 while CarPlay is up. Last time was a couple of days ago, hauling a load of pavers home from Lowe's.

Another interesting issue is compatibility porsche id and apple car play. it seems the car play kicks out porsche id 3 times out of 4 given that you use your iphone as identification means.

Yeah, the Porsche ID thing is a tire fire. It almost always fails to log in immediately after startup, showing an error message before it even bothers to attempt reconnection. Then, if you leave it alone, it reconnects on its own and usually works as expected. About 5%-10% of the time it won't log in successfully until the next drive cycle.

Porsche should update their famous "There's a reason why most rocket scientists are German" ad to include "... and why most software developers are American." (I'm sure the PCM OEM is American, but it would be a well-deserved hot take.)

> GC is inherently harder.

You need to pay closer attention to the claim I am actually making. Of course GC is harder than malloc/free. But malloc/free is not hard-real-time by default [1], and making malloc/free hard-real-time is just as hard as (indeed is pretty much the same problem as) making GC hard-real-time. Hard-real-timeness is a hard problem that is almost entirely independent of the allocation/deallocation strategy.

Work on it in the two hours you have before work, every workday.

My latest project is effectively impossible to complete (SaaS, evolving customer needs, etc), but I've been able to work on it consistently for the last 18 months AND get paid for it.

Before that, I wrote books/articles about React, and before that I learned a lot by building products no one wanted.

In short, consistent effort over a long time helps you accomplish things you think are impossible.
By your logic, an octave/unison would be "seventh"/"zeroth"? (Note that "octave" literally means "eighth" in Latin.) I would think that could work too but the established terminology is not inconsistent. It's just 1-indexed. A lot of things are 1-indexed, in fact I think almost everything in spoken English is 1-indexed. A lot of mathematics, like number theory, is also 1-indexed. I think software engineers are a little too obsessed with 0-indexed things. I understand that things not being standard is annoying to us but pretending like this somehow makes music terminology broken is going too far.

I don't see how 0x0-0xf could be called base 17. 0xf is 15. Did you mean base 15? I think if mathematics terminology developed differently it could be called base 15. The same way binary is 0 and 1 but we call it base 2 because there are 2 digits, but we could totally call it base 1 too, who cares, it's all convention.
No, in 15 years working I haven't seen anything of that magnitude be ignored. You seem to have found a really bad organization. Something that large always was a drop everything and assign one person to fix it immediately kind of thing.

But Heroku also had a major GitHub integration that devolved into CVE which could not be fixed for about a month (among other bad news parts of that story, such as lying about the scope and slow walking the disclosures, that all seemed to just get worse.)

This is ostensibly all the result of the brain drain after SalesForce acquisition has set in. It's a death spiral.
> AI research is not "more EA-approved" than global development - any such claim is peddling gross misinformation

I haven't made that claim. I have accurately stated that EA organisations have both explicitly criticised many/most aid agencies for not providing enough evidence of efficacy in the form of RCTs etc and explicitly endorsed and funded OpenAI. In my opinion, the latter cause is a less effective and in-need-of-funds one than the average "do not recommend" charity on GiveWell, and so I think human QALYs would benefit from high net worth individuals regarding the core of the EA movement's opinions on effectiveness as highly debatable and listening to voices outside it too.

(And obviously whilst many EAs recommend and contribute significantly to global development causes, it's also true that this cause is extremely highly prioritised outside the movement whereas AI risk and "longtermism" - an increasingly emphasised if not universally approved part of the movement - is pretty much exclusive to it, so I think the net direction of most people already committed to human-life centred philanthropy paying attention to the EA movement is going to be to fund the former less and the latter more)
How does Tornado Cash work?
Absolutely this. I was a huge fan of living in cities ages 18-24ish (Chicago, Vancouver, Seattle) and couldn't picture myself elsewhere - but the pandemic, my own mental health, and just generally a desire in life to be at peace while the world around me gets crazier, drove me out to the woods and (soon, for a change of pace) the sea. I have a few close friends I see when I need in-person interaction, I volunteer with an important education-adjacent org when I need to feel connected to a deeper cause and community, and otherwise, I am so tired of constantly having to hear other humans, be subjected to unending car pollution (air quality and the less-discussed one: tire and engine noise pollution), pay exorbitant and extortionate rent, and many of the other concerns that come from living in dense places.

There's no right answer for everyone. Some folks will only thrive in one environment or the other, and that's fine. But as for me? You'll catch me continuing to peruse listings for acreage in far-flung places where I can be left alone.
The kids may not like the car, but I’m sure they like the lifestyle it affords them.

That’s how you make a worse search engine than Google. If you are serious about competing in that space I think you need to do something fundamentally different than Google. Treating pages as a bag of words leads to a shitty search engine. Like I said, I’ve built a few search engines, and I have tried this.

They have money to invest. And so do other companies offering free products and yet they often vanish.

I tried it out there, but the MFP barcode scanner really is a killer feature.
A good analogy is looking at how chess grandmasters talk about playing against computers, especially early on when it wasn’t known whether the best computers would ever be able to beat the best humans. They say it’s like playing a super intelligence.

Interestingly, I believe the engine + grandmaster combination can still defeat the best engines.

Buffer underflows as in writing to negative indices? I wish I could go in a time machine and default early languages to saturating arithmetic instead of wrapping. Even Rust does wrapping arithmetic in release mode, in debug mode overflows will panic.
Edited, thank you for the clarification. With the Heroku stuff and the Salesforce/Slack PTO/vacation stuff from a few months ago I just assumed this was something new.
IMO if you want a personal pic on your blog it could make sense to move it to your About page.

For actual blog posts/other content that contains pictures, it makes sense that those take up more space than 14kb - probably nothing to worry about there.

If you can, it might be good to try ensure you load the images after other aspects (CSS, HTML text content) are loaded, per the blog post. But all in all it likely isn't a big issue.
Sorry but what is to stop actual humans from signing bot generated or false content using their private keys? It also creates incentives to steal other keys. What will happen if your private keys get stolen and they start being abused by someone else?

too many companies are using the take home as an initial filter. twice now I've spent a couple days really polishing the assignment only to discover later that there is absolutely no chance we will work together well.

Creativity requires a frame of mind. For some, this frame realizes in the solitude. For others, it may be lo-fi music, a movie with mindless action and forgettable story, knitting, fishing, etc.

In personal experience, I thrive with interactions; sometimes less and sometimes more. Other people's ideas spark new perspectives and reveal the limits of my thought canvas. Solitude just makes me lonely and depressed.

It has something to do with money and budgeting, at least.

Academics must still publish in the same prestige journals as before to earn merits for jobs, promotions, grants, and prizes. Those journals are largely published by for-profit publishers that want their money one way or another. If their subscription revenues will be lower, they will want more money from open access fees. While subscriptions were usually paid by university libraries that receive their funding from various sources, open access fees are often the responsibility of the individual PI.

Some universities have agreements with some publishers that the library will pay open access fees for their researchers. Others will try to negotiate them, but negotiations take time. When there are no such agreements, the PI must pay the open access fees from their grants. That means grant agencies must establish policies on how much funding to include for that in their grants, and the money has to come from somewhere. The agencies must decide whether to reduce the number of grants or the amount of money available for other purposes. They may also request more funding from the Congress, but that takes a lot of time and the outcome is uncertain.
Counter-Point. If the assignment is properly sized: no more than an hour. Then the candidate doing it at home using their system and their tools gives you a more accurate picture of their actual capabilities than a whiteboard or doing it on your hardware in an unfamiliar setting with a stranger giving every appearance of critiquing your work. This is an interview after all. The power balance whether intended or not is very much different than an actual peer review

If a candidate chooses to burn a whole week working on it that can be safely left up to them I think. But a take home test is not unfair because they decided to burn that much time on it. It is an attempt to let them give the clearest most accurate signal of their skill level and approach to problems. I would argue that not even pair programming accomplishes that as well as a take home assignment.
I wonder if they'll also bump the M2 machines to 3nm silently, if the efficiency bump is minor? Apple previously split the A9 between TSMC and Samsung at two different node sizes, so it wouldn't be completely crazy.

Or perhaps they're content to leave the M2 as 5nm for easy performance gains in the M3 next year. It also has the advantage of keeping the cheapest machines off of the best node size, which is surely more expensive and more limited than 5nm.
