> Make them write code in front of you live as part of the screening round.

I think there's always lots of arguing over what's the correct way to do this.

Ideally, I think you'd basically have any number of options, from which you (the candidate) could pick whatever feels the most suitable:

[ ] - solve an algorithmic problem in person, show code, discuss now
[ ] - solve an algorithmic problem later, share Git repo, discuss later
[ ] - solve a real world problem in person, show code, discuss now
[ ] - solve a real world problem later, share Git repo, discuss later

That would solve the issue of person anxiety and time sensitivity - e.g. some people's nerves getting the best of them, even though it wouldn't solve the issue of someone else being able to do the task for them.

Then again, many companies/countries out there have a sort of grace period, for example, in Latvia that is 3 months - during which an employee's suitability for the work environment is assessed.

So, give them low priority issues to solve in non-core products, or even additional code tests to work on or prototypes to build, which should very quickly show whether they're suited or not.

More so, in some companies your salary during this period can be lower and the laws around quitting (or being fired) can also be more streamlined.

Of course, one could argue that some would exploit this to just rotate people after 3 months for low salaries, but I would at least hope that such attempts would be glaringly obvious and not much would get done in just 3 months of work.

I never stayed home - I wore N95 and FFP3 masks and lived a meaningful life and didn't get COVID-19 - and I won't get it, because I am using something that works and is not just wishful thinking. I had so many sick people around me, I didn't care. My wife and daughter just go it, we live together, I wore mask at home - my son and I didn't get it - and this is the second most contagious virus known to men! And you pray that your muscular shot does not end up into your bloodstream like it does with many as then myo- or periocarditis will be your fate and you can see studies - there's no such thing as a full recovery from myo- and periocarditis - every incident increases your chance for death from a CVD! And with every COVID-19 shot you will get more chance of hurting your cardiovascular system. And you're still not protected from a course of the disease - mild or not, it does a lasting and accumulating damage!

You can fake handles by using additional memory on the allocated block, but it better be there for free(). Moving them around isn't a big problem, there are some allocators that ping back on the MMU with double indirection.

I never understood why C never got an higher level memory allocation API, after all, it isn't as if the 10 years of systems programming languages that preceeded it didn't had already NEW(type) as primitive.

The problem with alloca() is that C isn't Ada, so instead of an allocation error if the stack isn't big enough, you get a corrupted stack.
As an example, MIT spends about 16% of its revenue on undergraduates; undergrad tuition is about 14% of revenue.* Remarkably those percentages were about the same when I was an undergraduate there 40 years ago.

Basically MIT is an enormous government research lab with a small school bolted on the side. This was a deliberate structure thanks to James Conant and Karl Taylor Compton working for the government in WWII.

* honestly I’m astonished they are willing to run that minor (and by a lot of faculty reviled) operation at a small loss.

Guys, amazing work you're doing with Payload. I think it's pushing the way we build apps forward.
I love the energy, but you should communicate more sincerely. In your intro video you say "frameworks like Laravel and Rails can be great on building the back-end of your complex apps, but then you're stuck having to build the entirety of your admin panel completely by yourself", and that's untrue. There are solutions out there that help you not build it by yourself.

Again, great energy, but don't lie!

Sounds like that person with a book to sell is a fringe crazy person outside the scientific consensus then, doesn't it? Because climatologists were always very clear that you can't just point at individual weather events as proof or disproof of climate change, because they only study long term trends.

The fact that some academics are now trying to have their cake and eat it is totally unsurprising. There are no standards in that community, COVID proved this beyond doubt. But it's a sword that cuts in both directions. If unusually hot or cold weather is evidence for climate change, then ordinary average days are evidence against. Today I look outside the window and it's a typical September day with no special temperature extremes. By the argument in your link, that must be disproof of climate change, right?
fur may stuck into it. And if zipper gets stuck for whatever reason the dog may not like sitting for the prolonged time while you're trying to unstuck it. Of course it all depends on specific circumstances, and it is definitely great that it works for your dog.

A garment with zipper also requires much better fitting - which giving dog shapes variations may be a tall order - than say with Velcro where usually there is some latitude, and with Velcro it is much easier to make adjustment by moving it a bit if needed while making adjustment with zipper looks daunting.

Exactly. The great thing about cookies is that they are a tool, completely in the hand of the user. The site gives you a piece of text and says "show this to me next time if you want me to remember you". And then the browser can choose to continue to use them or not.

Such a weird choice to put the onus on the websites to ask whether to give the cookies, rather than the browser to ask whether to save them. I'm a big supporter of privacy legislation like the GDPR, but this is asinine, as it needs me to trust every website I visit to actually honor my choice.

Really, the original sin of cookies is that were designed to be transparent to user. That was a mistake that promptly needs to be rectified.

My university has lifetime email forwarding; so I use my .edu address as my main personal email address. (I tell people, "In 30 years, it you email that address, it should still get to me.") I once signed up for a SaaS team workflow thing with my personal email address, thinking about trying to use it w/ my family to try to work together on a project; and within a day or two got a call from someone from that company obviously hoping I was actually a decision-maker at that university. Sorry...
Depending on the rest of the article design, that may be fine or it may risk fur getting caught in the zip. I have occasional trouble with my own body hair in zip.

This would be the "bad" design: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/613U7zu5OoL...

I don't know the terms of art so I can't google for a picture of the "good" design, but it would have a wide strip of fabric behind the zip that would ensure no fur gets near the zip mechanism.
Teamwork happens every race, and it’s very rarely controversial at all. Teammates towing each other in qualifying is teamwork. Teammates holding up rivals for each other is teamwork. Sergio Perez’s entire Abu Dhabi race last year was team work, and hardly anybody considers any of that to be controversial at all. Even most orders to give up position aren’t controversial, because most of them are drivers on split strategies being ordered not to hold the faster driver up.

F1 is just fundamentally a team sport, and hardly any of the teamwork generates any level of controversy at all. Even the (very uncommon) controversial cases of a driver being ordered to give up a race win are only a big deal to a certain segment of fans. Typically the deluded ones who think Bottas was better than Hamilton, or Webber was better than Vettel, or Barrichello was better than Schumi, and that all of those drivers would have championships if it weren’t for team orders.
Boycotting Israel gets your company in trouble with various state governments in the US, like no supplying services to the government, and in Arkansas, it gets even more viral in that people you supply services to are forbidden from supplying services to the government.

My RH contract specifically forbade boycotting Israel, I'm sure for those reasons.

And of course, I imagine that Israel has laws about doing business there that look dimly on being boycotted.

It's very very dumb legislation, and I think derives from a very odd facet of belief found in some American Protestant belief systems - that for Jesus to come back, the State of Israel has to exist.
I think there are some lessons that can learned from this. For example, the command line:

solana program close

didn't seem to sufficiently represent the destructive nature of the action.

The program's designers should likely have chosen the verb "shutdown", instead of "close".

ORM is not ideal for every project. If we have to grind through simple calculations on millions of records, with no user experience to worry about, we gain little from expressing the data as objects for a few microseconds; the cost of transformation from raw bytes to business objects is never repaid. We're better off with the fastest, native data manipulation techniques available.

An object-oriented approach is better suited to highly interactive, line-of-business applications. Data records are not nearly so numerous in such applications. They live in client space for minutes or hours, not microseconds. During their unpredictable stay, they appear in various guises on multiple screens. Users change them. They're roiled in complex business logic. The consensus of architects is that such data records are best represented as business objects. The open question is how best to shuttle data between database and business object form.

ORM is one such answer. Not the answer.

Not even remotely true. Not even the first hop from your local MTA can be trusted in that regard, it may accept the message and just immediately bin it, it might accept it but queue it for further verification and not bother sending you a message back telling you this had happened, etc. Between your MTA and the receiving mailbox there could be several hops, any of which might silently send your message to /dev/null.

And that is without considering the same issues with the MUA, assuming your message is for human consumption and your aren't using SMTP to communicate between automated agents) at the other end having it's own spam/junk/other filtering (though I suppose you could consider that later part to not be email transport begin unreliable, i.e. if you consider successful transport to be "the user saw it" or "their mail server time their MUA it existed").

The only reliable bit of email transfer is the little bit you have full control over, the local MTA. Even then, if you are in a shared hosting environment where you don't control that yourself this could still silently reject your messages (a consideration you might need to make if publishing software others may self-host).

> If you can read a menu the thing that’s stopping you from reading and understanding a complex text isn’t about letters and sentences; it’s the inability to recurse on abstract thought and build complicated thoughts that depend on a body of knowledge.

I can often do a decent job reading a menu in Chinese. A complex text would take hours per page and be totally opaque in many parts. (And partially opaque in probably the majority of the text.)

I would argue that in fact what's stopping me from reading complex texts is lack of knowledge of the letters, the words, and the correct structure of sentences.
This is actually an interesting illustration of how infectious a name can be.

If they hadn't called it OpenAI, the conversion from open to corporate would be much easier, where's now it's a significant pain point in OpenAI's reputation. It's kinda nice to see the original vision still somewhat having an effect despite no one left to propagate it.
> I don't know, maybe Healthcare plans should include subsidies for gym memberships by law.

I can only imagine the level of added bureaucracy , certifications for gyms to qualify, and spiraling prices for gym users without healthcare plans through white collar salaried jobs. Just look at health care costs over the past 50 years as lengthier and lengthier laws have been passed in the hopes of shifting incentives and otherwise tweaking the system.

Agreed. I was working as an engineering manager and found that after we started doing stand ups, the team became more cohesive as a group and people started reaching out to each other for help/advice. It really improved our efficiency, but not because it was necessary to know what everyone did everyday, but because it builds trust to tell people around you what you’re doing and what you’re struggling with

Fun thing I've run into in a Germany-based but increasingly international company: German always spells out umlauts and eszetts when going to lower ASCII for email addresses ("Schäßler" -> "Schaessler"), but Hungarian does not. Not sure how Turkish ö and ü get fully lower-ASCII-ized there, but in Germany, they get spelled out "oe" and "ue" as if they were German ö and ü. This isn't as much of a corner case as one might think - there are a lot of people with Turkish names in Germany.
Yeah I would argue if you want security you need to be using something like mutual tls, or a framework/system/etc., that provides the same.

That's from the perspective of the developer though, from an end user's perspective I guess you just hope your application is, or that it's something where it doesn't matter.
Agree SQL has a number of different dialects and quirks. But I think comparing it to JS and its Cambrian Explosion of frameworks and trends does it a disservice.

I started working with SQL in about 1997 and in my experience I've seen a fairly gradual set of changes, and the move from one DB to another - MySQL to Sybase to Oracle to Postgres - has proven pretty straightforward, with most things staying either identical or similar to the point of total non-issue.

The reason I say this is to try and dissuade anyone from rejecting SQL as "yet another tech moving so fast it's barely worth learning". SQL is very stable and is worth picking up on any major platform - your knowledge gained will 100% be a valuable investment!

Only downside I can think of is if the assets (images, fonts etc) that are being linked to change at a later date, your replay might look odd. There are ways to cache these so it’s not the end of the world. Big upside is being able to inspect your DOM and easily reproduce exactly what broke
While I wholeheartedly agree that crypto should remain cryptography, it is a sad state of affairs that we seem to receive far more posts about cryptocurrency.
For all its flaws (and there are countless) the one thing about the show cryptocurrency space that stands out to me as a programmer is that programming errors can be suddenly very costly (granted, in this case it was more of a DevOps blunder).

Being able to very easily put a price tag on sloppy programming is intriguing to me.
> What alternative would you prefer? Anyone on the network can configure it? Just a password with no username?

How about having access control tied to the actual AP instead of a particular installation of the controller app, so I can admin it remotely from any machine that is available instead of just one?

Also, you conveniently ignored the spurious threats telling me i'm incompetent and i will get hacked without a unifi cloud account. I had to check 4 checkboxes agreeing to 4 different predictions of doom if i admin locally.

python 3.10 will fail on openvino.
i used these steps:

anaconda prompt

cd to the destination folder

conda create --name py38 python=3.8

conda activate py38

conda update --all

conda install openvino-ie4py -c intel

pip install -r requirements.txt

i also had to edit stable_diffusion.py and changed in the #decoder area:
changed vae.xml and vae.bin to vae_decoder.xml and vae_decoder.bin respectively

from there i could run

python stable_diffusion.py --prompt "Street-art painting of Emma Stone dancing, in picasso style"

for img2img, use this (note DIFFERENT program):

python demo.py --prompt "astronaut with jetpack floating in space with earth below" --init-image ./data/jomar.jpg --strength 0.5
ok, you are right.

i brushed over this bit, which makes the critical difference:

write code that's expected to compile and run

for what it's worth, i never had an interview where this was required (except in a coding test, but that was without being watched while i worked on it) and to me it totally does not make sense especially for a whiteboard. making sure every semicolon or brace is in the right place would just be a colossal waste of time.
False dichotomy. Look at the delays and cost balloons of the HSR project. They have nothing to do with safety of workers.
