The carbon fiber body is hard to repair and is not ecologically friendly.
While hiring I've done a 15min test before an interview (always looking through their portfolio first) that took some candidates 30-45mins. If they fail or took longer than 45mins it ends there. I then do a 30min interview that sometimes take 45min if they talk a lot or ask me questions about the company

How does this sound? I have no idea if this is ideal but so far we didn't hire any more bad candidates than we did using a different process
And it's in YCs self interest to make their startups safer?

Wouldn't this be in all venture capitalists self interest? (Not only YC) Maybe they could join (or start their own)
Looks very intriguing. I think we are safe to say this is where agile is really coming from.
Personally I'm a fan of using relative paths for anything in the same directory or a sub-directory of the current file and absolute paths for everything else.

I feel like it keeps things clean while also providing a way to distinguish between closely related modules and imports from further away in your application.

UI/UX shapes how people react to what they see. Since the reddit redesign the quality of discussion has dropped significantly. When the interface shows less than half the content it used to and it's all focused around reddit gold emojis etc instead of the actual comment chains and posts it's expected. Sure you can redirect to old reddit but most won't and you can't change the quality of content other people put out. Overall it's incredible how easy it was for me to go from several hours of browsing interesting topics daily to barely using the site.
Curious what you rate as "easy walking distance"? 15 min (one way), 30 min? Though I'd think it rather depends on how much you have to carry...
It's not that it's "vague", they intentionally throw off when you try to generate a photo of a named person. It's an intentional protection they put in. If you just do "king" it'll likely do fine, but if it's referring to a specific person it won't.
After doing a few take home assignments, I've learned many won't give the courtesy of Q&A afterwards; many won't give any feedback by default.

I loved giving live code sessions, the more open-ended the better. Give an objective, explain there's no wrong answers, answer all questions, give answers when asked, keep it simple, and gauge response. I found it exposed attitude and knowledge.
15k sounds like a lot, but I bet it's just the tip of the iceberg.
It's a little convoluted since the app does still fork from the zygote with ART in there, but they added an entire layer of APIs so you can jump right in from C++. Here's a sample https://github.com/android/ndk-samples/blob/master/native-ac...
Your process seems equally flawed. Many excellent candidates have no open-source code, and if they show you any closed-source code that's an immediate signal against hiring them.

So now you've put candidates through a silly "live coding challenge" – offering an advantage to the sort of person who is chatty and communicative with strangers in a stressful environment and the expense of people who may be better engineers but slower to warm up.

I really wish folks would be way less dogmatic about this stuff. Every single time I see someone say "take-home exercises are bad", their proposed alternative is also critically flawed.
They don't ,,have to'' be ready in 2 years. The M2 numbers from the N5P process were underwhelming, I wouldn't replace my M1 MacBook pro without seeing significantly superior performance / watt numbers, and happy to wait for the N3 process to be in production whatever it takes.
Yep. The freedom to mod your exhaust systems and blast your stereos does not trump other folks rights to peaceful sleep. Basically somebodies entertainment does not supersede other people's basic biological needs.
At last. I genuinely believe there should be classes in high school teaching how to read papers as well.

"The account, run by Brooklyn real estate agent Chaya Raichik, tweeted on August 11 that “Boston Children's Hospital is now offering ‘gender-affirming hysterectomies’ for young girls.” The claim has been widely debunked by fact-checking groups—but as is typical in anti-trans rhetoric, facts rarely matter, and the claims were shared widely on right-wing social media accounts."

What fun, silly stuff they have going on over at LibsOfTikTok. no one should have to be tolerant of intolerance.
> They also are miserable with homeless people, drug addicts, and crime.

What aspect of urban development caused these people to be homeless, drug-addicted, or criminal? Did the frequency of bus service get them addicted to drugs? Did the taller building height take their job?

We make this unconscious logical leap that there's some justification for human misery to be concentrated in urban cores. I live in a dense urban core right now, and I see human misery when I go outside. I think "boy, it'd be nice to move to an area where this miserable person isn't". But... it'd be ridiculous to be happy by pretending misery doesn't exist because it's not in eyeshot. If that were the case, we should just ship miserable people to the suburbs where I don't have to see them (that would be cheaper and more convenient for me!). The wealth density of an urban neighborhood is huge, there's easily enough money to relocate miserable people into even rich suburbs.

The better thing to do is to make choices that cause there to be fewer miserable people. I'm optimistic that the current debate around the urban-suburban-rural divide and the role of cars will make us recognize that there's huge mutual interest in the idea that _public spaces should be nice_, and that seeing the misery that results from our policy choices is a feature and not a bug.
If your startup's mission is at all related to data science, data collection, et al. then the presence of larger companies in the space will not be a barrier to finding a government sponsor. There is so much going on in the space, empires being built and bridges burned that there will always be opportunity for new entrants.
Nobody here is your personal librarian. Nobody owes you some carefully cited reply. The original point that was made is widely accepted by every neutral party familiar with the topic, it wasn’t some fringe theory. Then the replies started coming in that were at best ignorant and at worst bad faith demanding proof.

It’s like trying to argue with your crazy uncle at Christmas about global warming. I’m not going to play that dumb game with you and not should anyone else feel compelled to. If you had any genuine interest in getting an answer it wouldn’t be difficult but it looks much more like you just want to be some contrarian for the hell of it.
I know I'm being irrational about this, but for some reason this makes me lean toward getting an M1 Air or 13-inch Pro rather than an M2: it's like with the M2 performance gains are being squeezed out of the same (or similar enough) M1 process rather than changing the process significantly, at the cost of efficiency.

Depends on your target salary and luck. I do not earn a FAANG salary but my interview was a single 1 hour session where I showed them a few of my github projects and talked shop. My impression is most people going for high salaries need to do the leetcode grind and 8+ stages of interviews though.

To all people scared of density on here: Paris is one of the highest density cities in the world [1], and we're doing just fine. We even have a lot of room for tourists.

I mean programming is more or less understanding a thing well enough to tell the machine how to go through the steps of it. I've always thought of it in a similar vein to the problem solving we use in design.

So if we think of design or writing as creative, yes I think programming is too.
'95 Toyota Tercel 5-speed, around 101,000 miles (I got it in 1998 with around 52,000). Only city driving (though traffic here is not that heavy), and I get around 28 - 30 mpg. The car handles very well; very responsive steering, and the engine actually feels a little overpowered for a car of its size. I put more money into the car than it's worth, but in terms of how it feels to drive it's the best car I've ever owned. I'll be very sad when it's no longer fixable - I think rust in some area will probably get it.

I recently had to go back to a manual shift Mercedes car after 2 decades of driving very fine automatic BMW gearboxes. While the transmision is very nice for a manual compared to those from the old days, the overwhelming feeling was ... why? This process has been automated and optimized to the point where the computer can gear switch better than the best drivers on a daily commute. Why do some people still insist on manuals?

Anecdotally, nearly 100% of the 'Í do not like automatic tramsmission' people that I know are woman, all of an age between 45 and 55. Somehow they still take pride in riding stick, while the rest of the world has moved on from being Mantafahrers.

It depends on the difference, because genetic differences aren't always beneficial. The Hapsburg Dynasty's Charles II famously had an inherited birth defect due to the heavy inbreeding[1] among the ruling class, for example. It was of no value to anyone.

The true reason for valuing lineages is more about social rank/class protectionism.

Proof of personhood doesn't really help that much, when you can hire thousands of real people to click on things and generate fake content all day.

Good question

Not that there is anything the least bit good to say about nursing homes run by distant, uncaring, profit-obsessed managers...but also consider the brutal economic reality of 24x7 care, at even the best possible nursing home. (Excluding facilities for the actual wealthy, where cost isn't much a concern.)

To have ONE bottom-rung direct care staffer available, 24x7x365, and paid ~$12/hour... After employer-contributed payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, and workman's comp. insurance, figure the home's actual cost is $15/hour. $15 x 24 x 365 is $131,400.00 per year. More-skilled staff (you do want a nurse or few around, right?) are proportionally more. Plus, even the leanest-run facility will need a few folks cooking the residents' meals, doing their laundry, doing physical therapy, handling paperwork in the office, etc. The most humble of donated buildings (so we're imagining no mortgage payments) still requires ongoing maintenance, utilities, & such.

Add all this up, and you can easily hit $250,000/year per bottom-most-rung direct care staff person.

Now, assume that you (or the society you're doing thought experiments on) can't actually afford $250,000/year for each and every person who needs nursing home care. What fraction of that "one per one" care are you willing to settle for? Notice that even at "one per ten" staffing, your cost of running the facility is still $25,000 per resident per year. Multiply that by as many millions, or tens of millions, as need such care. (Yes, one per ten is well below the legal minimums in many states.)

Does your society have the actual resources to do that? If "yes" - are you really comfortable with how capable, caring, and responsible the bottom-rung caregivers willing to accept ~$12/hour to clean up incontinent and disoriented elderly folks at 3am actually are? And you're aware that our "suitable building was donated" fudge is a really big fudge?

Oops, also - that nursing home bill only covers the nursing home care. If your residents need to have some medications, doctor office visits, occasional hospital stays when (say) they fall & break something - that's all additional costs & resources.

at around 18:21 in (https://youtu.be/sGG-A80Tl5g?t=1103), the author claims that since cows produce methane (CH4) from grass that was built by metabolizing rainwater and atmospheric CO2, and methane is subsequently washed out over the course of a decade by being broken down to H2O and CO2. True, but methane is still a potent GHG even though a less persisting one than CO2. You cannot just show that there's a chemical cycle going on and then claim there's no environmental effect; without cows' burps, there would be one less source of intermittent atmospheric methane. You'd need at least one more factor to demonstrate it's irrelevant (like it's only a tiny fraction of all methane sources, or if we were to live without that many cattle we'd inevitably produce other GHG to keep us from starving or somesuch).

Earlier in the video, it is claimed that the water footprint calculations one hears so often are calculated in a misleading way, since almost all of it is natural rainwater anyway, and secondly, it's almost completely urinated back onto the land within hours or a day anyway. I agree with that and want to add that I'm for this reason skeptical of many water footprint calculations. This site https://www.watercalculator.org/water-footprint-of-food-guid... seems to do a fairly good job at explaining the different water sources (surface, rain, tap) and detailing where the actual contention occurs. As far as cattle is concerned though, one thing the video glances over is that cow piss is not considered potable (though some cultures have been known to use it for disinfection and as a insect repellant). And while cattle and grassland is a natural thing with mutual benefits, the barren earth you see in those many, many hectares where tens of thousands of cows are corraled—that land does not look like it benefits from being incessantly being trampled on and 'fertilized'.
That time wording would be enough of a red flag for me, unless I really really wanted to work for that company.

> Decide what you must do. Remove the roadblocks and optimize to achieve your goal.

The problem is that humans don’t work like that. We aren’t the passionate bunch the author think we are.

People work for money and status , we are extremely result oriented not passion oriented.

Even on here people enjoy technology , hacking etc. But if you gave us absolute certainty of economic and social success via some other drastically different path (e.g. a reality show such as Jersey Shore) , we would not hesitate one second and wear our tightest tank top and trunks , get tanned and play the part.

I say “us” because I include myself in this scenario too, and I despise reality shows but you cant argue with millions of dollars and millions of followers.

They are respectively the currency of financial and social success.

> Google says that there are about a billion sharks in the world but only 50k orcas. Meanwhile there are only about 10 humans killed by sharks a year. So zero recorded humans killed by orcas isn't that surprising. I wouldn't personally volunteer to swim with them.

Sharks are a group of taxonomical orders. Orcas are a species.

You wouldn't want to swim with them anyway, for the same reason you wouldn't want to run with a herd of stampeding cows.

The problem is not everyone has the same needs for solitude. My partner draws a lot and finds it depressing to work on isolation. She frequently shows up in low-key social situations with art equipment and works as she talks.

Newport's message always lands on the people that crave solitude the most. Some people work this way. I tend to work much better alone, distraction-free. But it's a dangerous game to take anecdata that speaks to yourself and extrapolate it out to an entire species with very different societies and cultural contexts.
> with GC you expect to run out of RAM and you expect the system to not just go down in screaming flames when that happens

No, you don't. The main point of GC is that you don't have to think about memory as much as with manual memory management. In fact, most GC languages don't even have an API to explicitly handle an out-of-memory condition: the program or thread will just crash or abort. With malloc(), you can at least properly react to allocation failures [1], which is crucial for hard real-time systems.
