Had an amazing experience with OpenComp (disclaimer, I accepted the offer).

First conversation with the recruiter was very straightforward and included salary ranges from the very start.

First round was coding with real life examples for data structures/algorithms, frontend and backend/SQL

next conversation was with PMs where I got the learn more about the product and company culture.

Next was an offer.

I was interviewing with two other companies at the time but OpenComp blew them out of the water with how straightforward they were.
Instagram is owned by influencers while TikTok is extremely successful at making emerge videos from random people that have captured insanely interesting moments, Instagram won't let the spotlight go from influencers to the common people.
Ok, apparently I did miss your point a bit.

However, your argument is still orthogonal to grant blindness itself. Mere affiliation with with research institution does not guarantee (although highly increases the likelihood, I can agree on that) access to certain research instruments.

This is the thing I have tried to explore in my previous comment. Current model practically revolves around researcher "fame" and grant board "knowing" their [lab's] ability to execute technical part of the research. This creates some perverse incentives. Naturally, grant boards become more inclined (consciously or not) to favor certain institutions and researchers, giving more grants, further increasing "competitiveness". Researchers become disincentivized to publish negative results and are incentivized to resort to data hacking and irreproducible science. This sure does give rise to the OP's mentioned Twitter prof or "trust me bro" science. There is much more politics in science than we publicly admit.

Current process does not actually evaluate grant proposal on technical ability to execute, this is left for institutions "underwriting" proposal. We could start evaluating technical ability regardless of whether grant applications are blind or not. If peer review meant "peers got roughly similar basic results in basic reproduction" instead of "someone in the field looked at the final draft" I guess we could have blind proposals with advantages of current system without its major political disadvantages.

I can agree that open process does help filter out researchers underqualified to do the research in question, but it does come at a certain cost. Ability to weed out underqualified teams does not necessarily require current process, i.e. this can be achieved by other means.

Many employers expect employees to go "above and beyond" their job description, without any consideration. So people started saying "fine, I'll just do my job to the letter". In response to that, they've created this term "quiet quitting" which places the blame on the worker's head - "How dare they just do their job? They owe me more than that!". The correct terminology is "working to rule".
What's nice about Rust here is that the coercion can be silent but it isn't by default. So open("file") works even though not all file names are strings, but matrix + filename is a compile error rather than doing something nobody wants.

That results in a cultural difference (new type idiom) that makes UnsafeString viable while in some languages you could do it but you wouldn't

While Brady is definitely an anomaly in American football there is a similar group in tennis that I have been watching with fascination for a while now. When I was young tennis stars were shooting stars that lit up the court for a few years and then retired. Connors, Borg, Lendl, McEnroe, Sampras, Agassi: all were at the top for 3-5 years and then stumbled a few times before retiring.

Federer, Djokovic, and Nadal have collectively dominated mens tennis together for more than 15 years. There is an entire generation of mens tennis players who never reached the upper tier of the sport because these three were so dominant that their only real competition was each other. Also-rans of this era like Murray, Roddick would probably have had their own run at the top in previous decades but just never had a shot against that dominating threesome.

The fifth level was a binary puzzle hidden in the colouration of the writing. Darker/lighter letters were 1's and 0's. The second part of the 5th level was that the other ring of writing had 3 "colours", which were the dots, dashes, and spaces in a morse code string.

The only reason the fifth level was "hidden" was that there wasn't obvious hints/clues pointing to it like the first 4, where each specifically hinted at how to solve the next.
Someone has already explained why your example is wrong, but for a general proof, for dist X, let u = mean, m = median

<= E(|X - m|)

<= E(|X - u|)

<= E(sqrt((X - u)^2))

It sounds like Gavin went beyond that, cutting into Sony's forbidden library space; it helps that he was a lisp head and didn't respect the existing C prefabs.

I don't remember if it was the blog or the extended video but he also got into some of the close to the metal choices they made, like sharing variables and rolling dice on the compiler each build to fit with only a few kb spare in the whole cd space.
>The ones from fifty years ago are great, imagine what we could do if the fucking NRC stopped adding such incredibly dumb and onerous requirements on any new permits for new tech.

I'm in France, where we should get ~78% of our electricity from nuclear. But half the reactors are down partly due to issues with the old reactors and maintenance problem (planned or not). https://nuclear-monitor.fr/#/mix

So electricity is crazy expensive and the government just hold an emergency meetings (minutes ago) to try to find a solution before the winter. Some manufacturers (esp in the glass business) might go bankrupt as they cannot turn of their plants…

I wish I could install solar panel on my roof (but I'm in Paris and the building is shared among by many owners so it isn't easy to get them on board).

45% of Californians are renters. They don't control whether or not solar is installed.

Given your assertion and that fact, is making it illegal to purchase a car with an internal combustion engine a good idea or a bad one?
> The solution is the same: use overproduction to produce hydrogen or for desalination plants.

Does anywhere actually do this? Storing hydrogen at scale seems insanely difficult and desalinating water wouldn't let you use the energy later. AFAIK, most places deal with surplus energy by putting it into a big battery, usually the physical kind of battery like pumping water up hill and holding it behind a hydroelectric dam.
I'm also surprised to see this in context of the mandate that came this week from California to retire fossil fuel vehicles.

If current population and load is straining their power grid because it's hot they have some serious infrastructure to implement before 2035 rolls around. I'm sure it's not lost on anyone, just... the timing on the two articles is noteworthy.

GitHub should reduce starring to just be a bookmarking feature, that is, not show the numbers of stars a repo has. Showing it is what makes it an ambiguous social feature.
We use Azure DevOps at work for our CI/CD, and although they provide an ephemeral runner setup (where you can run the agent with a --once flag, and it will exit after a single job runs so you know to destroy the container/VM), jobs will fail if there are no runners in the pool when the build starts. If we could get VM starts down to milliseconds or a second at most in AWS, we could scale our CI runners down to zero and use a webhook (for PR/commit) from ADO to trigger a VM launch on AWS, and by time the pipeline actually started, there would be an agent ready to take the job.

A very specific use case, I know, but if I could have the CI runners run as needed, we could get instances that are way bigger so our builds run faster, and pay around the same amount since they don't have to sit around when they aren't being used.

In this specific case you're right, but that was just an example. Generally speaking, I think using naming conventions is a very poor solution, types are better.

Just want to say I am very happy with Kagi. I've been a paying subscriber since there was an announcement here a few months ago. The results are typically very good, the speed is unreal, and features like lenses and personalized results are so awesome. It's so nice not having search results filled with Stack Overflow spam sites, and if anything slips through I can block it.
But what devoutsalsa said is true, you will still get a cold start when a request comes in while the already "warm" lambda is processing another request. This is one of the gotchas that not everyone seem to understand about these cloud functions. Sure, you'll scale quite horizontally, but just one executor at the time. If you have a long cold start, this can significantly increase latency. Some providers let you pay for concurrency, so that you can scale out more quickly.
Bravo! This is fantastic!

Grid is mostly fine.

California’s electricity use varies a ton over the course of the year; in late summer the heat is most intense and peak demand is highest, roughly 50 GW.

The state is facing a historic heat wave this week, and the grid operator (California ISO) is asking people to voluntarily reduce demand. It’s not clear whether there is enough supply for peak demand without voluntary reduction, there probably is, but asking for voluntary reduction in the use of resource X (power, water, you name it) is par for the course in California these days. It costs almost nothing to do, and saves the utilities the high cost of marginal extra X.

It’s unlikely that the push for renewables has played the definitive role — peak load is after 4pm, when solar generation drops anyway, and baseline power like nuclear don’t help as much at peak because you can’t just spin them up for part of the day.

If anything the push to EVs has the potential to mitigate peak demand by tapping a fleet of grid-connected batteries at peak load, but that’ll require some coordination with manufacturers.
Not jumping from company to company has cost me a lot in both past and future earnings.
Very well done! Thanks!
I think the point is being missed here. This response does not answer the direct brief nor the (more important IMHO) underlying question that attempts to excercise empathy for the customer:

"Rank the responses in the order of their relative concern with programming considerations, economic considerations, or other important considerations. If you were the programmer, which approach would you prefer? If you were Mary Jones, which approach would you prefer?"

After 20 years in industry, I constantly see people banging their heads against the wall, not understanding why the customer "doesn't get it," when in many cases they do in fact "get it" but the solution has different meaning to them. The complex challenge is identifying all of their underlying motivations and viewing the problem from their perspective.

Empathizing with the customer is the lesson, not the math. It's important because it makes for a happier professional relationship and if you're technically right, knowing the customer's drivers can help you efficiently negotiate the implementation path forward in a way that everyone is satisfied with and garuntees more future business. The lesson teaches a path to professional happiness, and that's invaluable. Who wants to be grumpy and angry 80% their life?

The idea that there are multiple parallel earths is fun to think about, but know that it is an unfalsifiable hypothesis and arguable is outside the realm of science (and close to the realm of meta-physics).
The biggest issue that I come across, is users of my software, developing mental models of the software that I would never, in a million years, have developed, myself.

They often work with the software, based on their "strange" mental model, and can have very weird workflows.

In some cases, this is excellent, and it is worth it for me to learn the new model, and maybe add affordances for it.
It looks like G-police.
I do that because its cheaper to charge over night. I have a 11 kW charger installed on my house.
Yee! That's where I got the idea for it. Because my family we didn't have the normal skiing gear but instead always did the skate skiing.

That's where my idea came from.

Yeah, probably a bit safer in Minnesota too ;)

AFAIK, there was no recourse either since it was sold as brief interruptions, but apparently it wasn't a screwup - they really had the option to just leave it off all day if the grid was really struggling.

And, while I appreciated the need, I wasn't going to be the sacrificial lamb next time that avoided the rolling blackouts. At least in a rolling blackout I'd get some AC.

We're building one nuclear reactor in the UK and it's so expensive it has been dubbed "the most expensive electricity on the planet" and has almost bankrupted the French energy company which is constructing it. It's also taking many years longer than planned to finish it. If your plan happened, "cheap energy from an expensive source" means low profit and low return for the investors of the power plant. USA is not faring much better in the 'showing it can still build public nuclear power plants' stakes, or in the building large public construction projects quickly and cheaply stakes.

See my previous large comments with details on pricing, build times, cost increases in nuclear power, before dismissing this as a throwaway comment:

A FUCKTON of nuclear plants are not coming soon enough to save us.
I think that’s too expansive of a definition of “runtime.” The context required by C and Rust programs is generally internal, meaning that interacting with the dynamic allocator doesn’t require the programmer to be aware of the implementation’s invariants. This is in contrast to a managed language like Java, where using a managed object from C via JNI requires coordination with the runtime (which in turn preserves the invariants).
Too much "squeaky wheel gets the grease"; not enough "the nail that sticks up gets hammered down".
Agreed. Not all extroverts are narcissistic, sociopaths.
Per definition, an entity must exist that doesn’t have a beginning. (It is hard for me to reason about events outside of time…)
I don't know how anybody gets on without text.

I see coworkers who have a default Windows 10 setup, with the titles of windows hidden. They'll have 10+ Chrome windows open, 5+ spreadsheets, and then each Chrome window has 20 tabs in it.

And despite all that, they still don't think to do "Open Link in New Tab", and they lose track of where they are in our web app. Maybe I should add breadcrumb nav.

And of course, window management is rare. Maximize everything, even terminals.

Maybe people really do have fundamentally different brains from each other. Maybe they memorize the positions of the icons and get by. I have to have text, and I bookmark and close tabs aggressively to keep it all clean.
Yes that is yet true, there are some examples in soccer like Ibrahimovic (mentioned by another commenter) or even Christiano Ronaldo. However they are in on a constant decline as they get older... The only soccer players that are still good while getting at an old age are goalkeepers, but the explanation there is simple, they rarely need to run :)
What would you say is the "perfect interval" to jump companies ?
> Unless it ships from the factory with "charge only during hours X to Y" preset and turned on,

Hey look, you answered your own question!
I can add as much power to the grid as i want to, if there's no storage and demand is low, that makes zero difference to the grid.

Storage being what it is, we either accept the costs of routine (10 year cycle) swap outs or we dont. Simple. Oh, and please remember that present demand will be a fraction of future demand and hence any storage you build must grow in capacity over time.

Photovoltaics serve a very specific use case of aiding domestic energy production at times when conditions are right. They are great for a lot of reasons, but for cases where there is a high demand for reliable supply such as industries producing things, they are . . not the first choice.

Given the equivalent amount of dollars spent by an entity as large as the state of California, with the laws of physics as we know them today, there is only one logical solution in Nuclear energy. The energy density and scale just can not be beaten.

This is still a thing, Fargate pull times are super slow: https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/696. We run all of our workloads on fargate, and it's really annoying when you're trying to iterate on something and you have to sit there waiting on "Provisioning..." for 1-2 minutes every time you launch a task. I don't think the control plane is that slow, as EC2 based ECS launches tasks really fast if the images are already cached on the machine.

As someone who works in the field, most customers are reluctant to commit to a platform that ties them to a single cloud.
Also, an MS employee I talked to alleged that azure IoT is not selling like hot cakes, so I guess most people see this similarly.

My recommendation is to go with a cloud hosted MQTT broker, and do stuff like device configuration and edge computing over a generic config management system like ansible or salt.
I have a hard time understanding the negativity about this article. When a mainstream publication says "extroverts do X", the general public understands that it does not mean "all extroverts do X".

We have all seen the damage that some extroverts can do to meetings, where they shamelessly namedrop half understood concepts that need to be refuted one by one.

We have all seen open source projects being taken over by a mediocre, loud-mouthed politician cabal, who slowly become the project's public face on Twitter and quash dissent with lies and persistence.

Of course extroverts are needed in diplomacy, etc. But how to keep them honest is an unsolved problem.
