Even the compiler assumption isn't enough. There is also an implicit assumption in the answers that x86-64 is using LP64 when some platforms will use LLP64 (Windows) or ILP64 (Cray).
How do we know that it's Google's fault ? There are so many variables here. We should ask for automated testing numbers. At least in the US, there isn't one. It requires special manual work to make a test call to 911.
There is also a happy medium. Host your own MX servers but use someone else's SMTP servers. You have complete control over the incoming mail but dodge the filters by using the established business for sending mail.
I can't see where the money is. Tooling is available for free, you have to pay for the development account anyway.

No they don't. I would happily take a few hours each year to get an MRI done.

We would need more machines, but even now the prices aren't too exorbitant for something done annually (or- even every few years)
PhotoCD seemed like a pretty half-assed effort and there wasn't really a market for it. There were PhotoCD players but no one really wanted to view their images on a TV. So great, you've digitized your photo, now what? People just weren't sharing their images digitally yet. But anyway, my dad tried to sell them in his shop, and I transferred 100 of my favorite images at the time to PhotoCD in 1993. Here's a few:

I haven't personally been in any interviews where I was asked something so opinionated, like being asked "do you write bad code?" straight-up. These questions are very leading and direct, not open-ended at all - look at how limited the set of "right answers" is for most of them.

A question like:

> "Does this team or any of the related teams have a person who actively rejects proposals to improve the code base?"

is a flag because it implies that the person asking the question thinks their definition of "improve the code base" is the only one that matters. It also is asked in a way that suggests a lack of maturity around disagreement and communication.

"If someone sees something they think would improve the code base, what should they do to try to get that done?" would be a much improved version.

> "Suppose the team needs to start a new web service like a private Gitlab, add new type of CI to the testing pipeline or something similar. Could you explain the exact steps needed to get it fully operational? Please list all people who need to do work to make this happen (including just giving authorization), and time estimates for each individual step."

This one is less of a "bad question" if you're OK with filtering out places that don't work that way (a place that spins up random new infrastructure shit in a couple days super frequently seems like a terrible each-service-is-a-special-snowflake hard-to-maintain/hard-to-debug/hard-to-improve sort of hell, IMO) but if you're just more interested in process and bureaucracy, I'd suggest something more like "what are your thoughts on standardized shared infrastructure and tooling vs specialized things per-project?"

EDIT: actually, to borrow a page from some frequent advice for interviewers - for bonus points you can rewrite both of those "better" versions to ask for specifics, along the lines of "can you tell me about a time someone on the team proposed a code improvement change that was controversial." Only ask for the vaguer "philosophical approach" part if they can't give you a specific story.
I never liked “working out” (though I like doing physical activity with friends).

A few months I had an injury followed by a long post surgical recovery (still under way). I am forbidden from almost all exercise until the surgery heals.

And I notice it! I don’t think as well, I sleep more, and I have trouble getting things done.

Now I am really eager to work out!
The general rule of thumb for my home server is that messages to people I've contacted before, or to addressees that were in a thread that I'm also part of get delivered reliably. Messages to new people I've never emailed before often go to spam. I've learned to accept this.

What is Wikimedia supposed to do? Only fundraise when they run out of money? That’s a recipe for failure and I quite hope Wikimedia… doesn't. If you donate to Wikimedia you are helping keep them free. The raw size of their endowment doesn't matter, nobody actively spends down their endowment on operating costs because it’s not sustainable. Operating costs come from at most like 3-6% of your endowment. The wording is not manipulative by any stretch of the imagination.

China wasn't "buying up" all the masks because most masks are made in China to begin with. I don't know why they think masks are so great. It isn't to do with science because otherwise people could point to the compelling and clear research evidence that masks work, and there wouldn't be so many counter-examples where masks had no effect.
Most people are not against going to the moon.

What they are against is giving untold billions to old Shuttle contractors to fly a overpriced single use rocket.

We will not get advanced technology from a moon program unless the moon program FINANCES ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY. This moon program is the opposite, it tries to keep old technology alive.

If you want a moon program that finances advanced technology, what you should do is build large reusable rockets that deliver small modular nuclear reactors to the moon. And also some drone/robots that build habitats autonomously. That would actually be providing technology benefits on earth.
Yeah, I've been doing exactly this for over 20 years. The only problem I can recall is related to the fact that the hosting provider uses a single SSL cert for the machine that hosts my domain (and many others, presumably), so of course the cert doesn't match my domain name. It's pretty easy to work around, and I only have to deal with it every few years when they do a hardware upgrade, which sometimes means moving my domain to a different machine.
deepdriver here has promoted an organization called the "Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine" [1], and (the organization, or associated people) have campaigned in favor of:

* conversion therapy in the form of talk therapy [2], for which, the Independent Forensic Expert Group (which functions under the auspices of the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims) has said [2a]:

"All forms of conversion therapy, including talk or psychotherapy, can cause intense psychological pain and suffering. All practices attempting conversion are inherently humiliating, demeaning, and discriminatory. The combined effects of feeling powerless and extreme humiliation generate profound feelings of shame, guilt, self-disgust, and worthlessness, which can result in a damaged self-concept and enduring personality changes"

* The "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD)" hypothesis, the original paper of which was revised to say something completely different after it was shown to lack scientific basis [3] [4]

* right-wing propaganda about sex and relationships [5]

* ending all transition healthcare for adults up to age 25 [6]

The blog post makes it clear that there's an intended single correct answer to this question, "No, a person who does this specific thing does not exist." It doesn't give room for "Yes, and I think they're right to do so, and here's why" - or even "No, but there's a person who ships their own stuff without review all the time."

I think you could ask it in an open-ended way (though maybe phrased more like "What's the most difficult part of getting code improvements shipped" or "How does your team tend to balance the merits of making big changes" or "What is good and bad about your code review process") and it'd be a fine question.
Like rcarmo, I looked at pyenv as it shared (Read: copied wholesale for obvious reasons) many of the ideas in rbenv which has been excellent for dealing with different versions of Ruby.

Either I just couldn't get used to it or the similarities are not as clear as they might appear to be at first glance because I eventually gave up and backed off Python entirely until miniconda was available via brew and BBEdit gained the ability to switch environments without jumping through hoops.

That said, I am currently trying to remove Python from brew entirely and put everything into conda - for a few upgrades now, brew has complained loudly during upgrades that compiling from source isn't supported and may break things.

I can run `brew uses $FORMULA` to find the things that depend on Python that brew knows about - is it generally safe to move these into conda's "base" environment? The main thing that I use conda for (The Standard Ebooks project) has an environment and version of Py all to itself.

I think the deeper problem is sending an email (or a billion emails) triggers someone else's servers to do most of the work. Email is beautifully cooperative computing, but that means it can easily be taken advantage of.
Correct. If you can get enough of a mob together, you can get any company to drop any client or fire any employee irrespective of the merits. I don't know of any workarounds so long as Twitter exists in its current form.
I think that really depends. What is the other forum content? If it is benign stuff, and the post is completely out of left field, then the forum is probably safe. But if a lot of the content is toeing the line of illegal activity (but still legal), and then some illegal stuff gets posted, there probably isn't going to be any sympathy for the forum.
Part of the problem is silent deliverability issues. You can send to someone @gmail.com that you've never messaged before and it won't get rejected. It will probably end up in their Junk folder. You don't know it, they don't know it, and unless they check, which many people don't, it will be as if you never sent it.
I will stop replying to my mail for sure
Does a physician have a globally optimal understanding?

Do you actively read medical journals? Developments in biochemistry? Even amongst the best read physicians and researchers, I would bet my life that we're doing a lot of things suboptimally or have improper understanding of many diseases.

I'm not trying to belittle your understanding or your credentials, which I understand to be far better than untrained laymen.

The current state of medical care leaves a lot to be desired. We have a long way to go to detect and cure every disease state.

If more money is spent on developing better tooling, assays, imaging, etc. we will undoubtedly improve patient outcomes.
I like it, the demo is quite interesting.

Movable type was suitable for the Greek and Latin alphabets, but not for Chinese characters or Arabic flowing script. The Chinese had great success with woodblock printing.
Full body scans, as they currently exist, are not recommended for routine-usage. These scans use large amounts of radiation. This can increase your risk of cancer. If you have more tests, your risk increases.

Further, they are costly, and often times insurance does not reimburse or cover it. They can cost anywhere from $500-1000.

Unless you find a way to make this viable for the general population and lower the radiation exposure, this will never become viable for use.
While this is nice, it seems like without bucketing you would run into complexity issues with large amounts of data, right? i.e. to plot a true eCDF you need a sorted list of all the collected datapoints. I guess for actual plotting you have to effectively bucketize based on the number of pixels in your plot, but that seems fairly arbitrary.

Histograms are nice in that they effectively compress non-trivial datasets (at least those that have a reasonable bounded domain) to something quite manageable.

I guess there is nothing stopping you from doing the same thing here, but it does kind of discount the author's claim of not being able to go between histogram and eCDF.

Am I missing something?
too many variables to compare - assistance level, wattage, gear, etc.
This was a bad idea when it was first proposed 30 years ago
>I'm not a fan of expensive phones though - I'm scared I will break it and lose $700+ in the blink of an eye.

Phones over 200 bucks are a serious liability, I agree.

Fortunately, that also happens to be the price of the fourth-fastest phone on the market, that being the iPhone SE (Gen 2).

The fastest phone on the market (that being the Gen 3) is twice that price, but I have an easier time accepting a premium for that that's closer to 100 than the 1000 you'd have to pay to get the most capable Android phones... and they're still 4 years behind the iPhone technology-wise.
Oh, I thought it was closer. On avg it might be closer.

Given how much technology has advanced and how much more technology and knowlage is available, it should be much cheaper to do the same.

It's rather difficult to find a whole lot that's positive about colonialism, when you look into the details. For example, it's true that the British colonials brought railway technology to India, which has of course become a signature feature of modern Indian civilization. However, the rationale at the time was more about having the ability to rapidly move large numbers of troops and guns from one rebellious hotspot to another. However, this also had many economic benefits for other sectors, aided in moving food and preventing famines, etc.

https://reconasia.csis.org/how-britians-colonial-railways-tr...

> "After a slow start in 1853, the construction of the railway network envisaged by Lord Dalhousie was sped up rapidly after the 1857 Rebellion. The railways were an instrument of control. The stations became fortresses, the white and, later, the Eurasian, staff became an auxiliary army, and the tracks became lines of communication in the event of conflict. The 1857 Rebellion, coming as it did at a crucial stage in railway development, had an enormous impact on the railways’ eventual shape and the attitude of the British colonial rulers to their Indian subordinates. This was a nakedly military project, but not solely one. There were immeasurable economic benefits, too, and though the very design of the railways was as conduits to and from the ports to help British imports and exports, inevitably the Indian economy received a stimulus through their construction."

The argument that such colonialism was necessary to spread knowledge and technology (which is really the only pro-colonialism argument I can think of) is belied by the example of Japan, which strongly resisted colonial efforts for many centuries, but was still able to rapidly adopt and develop things like train technology.
I've had the poor image quality problem with Macs and Dell displays for ages. My go-to fix that usually works is to generate a custom EDID profile for the monitor that lets it negotiate to use RGB signalling rather that YPbPr 4:2:2 crap. I think Apple does this on purpose. LG displays seem to work out of the box.

I Googled "Mac EDID ruby"[0] to try to find the script that I'd found and used.

No, it's quite possible to do a card transaction without the CVV, it's just considered higher risk. However, once a customer has shown they're real and it's shipping to the same address the risk is much lower, the chance that the card is stolen is minuscule.

I think Dune would be the only other series I might read multiple times like I've done with Lord of the Rings.
It's a fair point -- and there are plenty of standard interview questions which fall squarely into that bucket. E.g. "Tell me your greatest weaknesses" is a horrible question that I for one never ask.
Moon was concerned about people being able to demand takedowns of content based on mere suicide threats. Is this lacking in compassion? I believe this is a pretty standard practice, I don't think on IG/Facebook/whatever a mere suicide threat could lead to a takedown of content. A scatching CNN article on a politician would not be retracted based on a suicide threat, etc.

And honestly, what's the strongest rebuttal to the claim that the suicide was faked? I guess I've seen claims that some journalists independently confirmed it, but I don't know where these stories are nor what sort of confirmation they received? It shouldn't be particularly unthinkable to consider that Near just was going to abandon their current pseudonymous internet presence and wanted to damage Kiwifarms as a free add-on to this.
Is 5G good for super-short distances that you can’t for whatever reason use a cable for? Imagine needing to go through a solid wall, (of wood and drywall), and only 2 to 5 inches thick, then Ethernet on either side of that. Would 5G be the ideal way to not drop too much in speed, or is there something better for that sort of scenario?
I run my own email server for receiving, but use the ISP's server for sending (and setting up Exim on Ubuntu provides such an option at installation time). I have no problem.
I'll keep going with my private server (on a vps). I just moved it to another hoster, meaning new IP block. This caused blocking issues:
Some but not all gmail address delivered to the spam folder. Another big mail provider asked me to set up a web page with contact info on the same domain I use for mail. And another self hosted mail server from a public service agency had me on block list.

This caused me some headaches and I was thinking this could be the end and I have to use one of the big players. But I did not give up, invested time and it works now again!

I remember when they shifted to x86 after Apple locked down their platform it felt like their development ground to a halt. It seemed they had to spend all of their time writing device drivers and such. It was such a huge advantage for Windows - device manufacturers would write the drivers for Windows, but not the alternative OSs.

The only thing that I could find other than regurgitations of the press release was an article on HackaDay. [0]

"Most electric cars have batteries exceeding 70 kWh in capacity; it would take over 18 such canisters to provide the same amount of power."

You might be able to use less in town but swapping 5 or 6 canisters every day sounds less pleasant than simply unplugging your EV at the start of the day and plugging it back in later.

I've read that Japan is trying to develop alternatives to EVs because their landscape is rarely flat and doesn't have the sun for optimum solar power generation. But it seems like generating hydrogen via renewable sources would be comparable to simply generating electricity.

SPF/DKIM are not intended to prevent people from sending spam.

They are intended to let a domain owner tell other email providers what servers have the right to send email from that domain (and sign email).

I can send email all day from joboffers@google.com. But most email providers will check SPF and see that my VPS IP is not authorized by google.com to send email, and it will go to spam.

Those standards wouldn't keep me from registering example.com, setting up SPF correctly, and then spamming. There are other techniques to filter out that kind of behavior.
Those seem like important use cases, no? I was at Pokemon GO Fest in Seattle recently and they had a bunch of 5G antennas. For those that may not know, Pokemon GO Fest is a big in person event that concentrates thousands of people in a small area in order to play a AR phone game. 5G is what kept me and my group online. Previous GO Fests, before 5G was widespread, had lots of connectivity issues.

This argument strikes me as an analog of the "Nobody needs a gigabit line, 25Mbps is enough to stream Netflix in 4k." That position doesn't leave room for future use.
