It's not only much weirder, but much less irrelevant.

There aren't many people spending their time specializing in programming fizzbuzz solutions, so the "bias" is typically towards programming in general -- which isn't a bias at all because that's what the interview is about.
I really appreciate all of the plant-based options. My take on it is: if I can barely tell the difference then I will buy the product which doesn’t involve killing animals.

this is the one thing you said I disagree with, unless you mean dealing with it by eliminating it.
I made it maybe 7 sentences in. These kinds of writings ruin blogs.
It's just a lot more of a pain then it used to be to install non-approved extensions, most people probably don't bother.
If you think humans are going to start eating a more boring, simplified diet, you are missing a major plot line of human civilization, which continues to give us an ever-increasing array of foods in every possible configuration.
There is an important point to make here though. I love me some Technology Connections, and am hardly a Tesla fan (in fact just bought a non-Tesla EV). But Tesla's connectors are unquestionably superior to the hideousness that is CCS. Tesla settled early on an elegant connector, and true to form, the rest of the auto industry settled on garbage, literally tacking DC pins onto the outside of a J-1772, much like the monstrosity that is the USB Micro B SS plug design.
I would recommend LeetCode, doing problems on a white board, and buying a book called "Cracking the Code Interview." I also highly recommend creating a GitHub account and proving you can work well with others with the same toolchain that is used in production in most places.
Pseudoscience of this nature is derived specifically from selfish incentives. Nowadays, you can get pretty rich by convincing others something is a “miracle plant” (“super food”, etc), and so that’s why it’s become a cliche.

Did those same or similar incentives exist back then? It doesn’t seem like anyone got rich or powerful from claiming silphion is a miracle plant, and with how widespread the agreeing claims are it’s at least worth investigating.
While that is in principle true, in practice there are quite a few issues. Many heatpumps here are made to heat the water for floor heating but don't transfer heat to air indoors. So you would cool using your floor which isn't very comfortable usually. More importantly because of the above the heat pumps are build for only one directional transfer. If one builds their own system it might make sense to plan for it, but even then it's unlikely that Sweden will become so hot that opening windows will not cool off the house enough. If it comes so far we likely have more pressing problems.
From my experience it's the opposite, the BS and distractions to work ratio in small companies has been far better and the small company also has huge chunks of work to do.
You seem to have misplaced your comment.

It seems there is a regular cross-section between technology interests and firearms interest. In most groups of the first type I find there is small group of the second, perhaps owing to the interesting problems to be solved in long range shooting.
I would have a hard time agreeing with the author, even metaphorically. The author even seems to suggest the iPhone is more of a symptom of broader cultural issues:

> But capitalism cannot tolerate “free” time and space. And, so, at last, we have the iPhone. A device that forces us to look down and ignore changes in light.

Perhaps things are different in different cities, but having one's gaze fixated upon a screen while walking is more of an exception than a rule. Even going about life with earbuds firmly implanted within one's ears is far from universal. Yet that does not make people watching any more interesting. You can attribute that capitalism not tolerating free time and space if you like. Personally, I think it has more to do with our streets being conduits for transportation rather than being appreciated as public spaces. It is not as though capitalism forbids free time. Indeed, much of it depends upon free time. Yet we still live in a world where many people won't go out unless they have a purpose, may that be going from point A to B or going for a jog to get/stay fit. Appreciating one's surroundings appears to be reserved for tourists.
I love seeing folks pour monumental effort into their passion projects.
That makes sense. Most of the EE PEngs I know are designing electrical systems for data centers and other commercial facilities. Their stamp is the reason they have their job. Even in that sphere, most of the engineers are not PEs. But, there is still a PE role that is legally required before the design can be implemented.

If we are talking about electronics, then yes, the current reality is that EE stamps are generally not needed in the legal sense. This thing I wrote is a first step in imagining what sort of world would exist if electronics and software engineering had a legally-required PE level.
I would suggest you do write something up, because there is a lot of myopia among the pro-crypto crowd about the real-world challenges of cross-border fund transfers. There is often an enormous difference in the tech-savviness of people that send the money, relative to those who collect that money. Crypto assumes similar levels of knowledge between both parties, which is how you end up with people sending ETH to a BTC address, causing it to fall out of the money circulation entirely.

I too have worked in the money services business, so I know the good and bad about these companies. They are by no means angels, but they work within the regulatory systems of the countries in which they operate and that creates costs and bureaucracy. But it also prevents problems that most of the crypto sector likely doesn't see, due to lack of real world logistical experience.
Trying to replicate this python security research: https://github.com/vinayak-mehta/pdftopng/issues/12 that scans for vulnerabilities inside shared libraries bundled in python packages.
The heat pump we had installed did not have any liquid hosing that I was aware of (maybe something internally in the unit?)
This would reduce the motivation to actually make it cheaper. It’s equivalent to “we lose money on each user but we’ll make money at scale”. Fine for investors to fund this, but why should taxpayers?

It's pretty sad that modern generation has no idea that back in the days tech was cool, and “enthusiasts” were those who discussed chip architecture and texture sampling, not some video personalities discussing the color of old plastic.

I'm spending time with friends and family. To be honest, I had a lot of time for hobbies during 2020 and 2021. The difficulty is increasing for finding a project that I'm prepared to reserve many weekends for. But seeing friends and family, even if life progress feels like 0, brings an unmeasurable kind of satisfaction I can't get enough of. Currently.

Also, workout & cleaning. Sorry for being off-topic.
Yeah, that's a nice "hack" the hardware offered. You can still shove in the depth after having done the screen projection so you don't need to worry about the order in which you draw the triangles. So maybe 2.5D? :-)
The hobby buyer's fallacy: “I'd pursue my hobby if I just bought X”
(I am not disagreeing with your claim): This assertion is a bit at odds with the notion of certifications, but only when considered without other factors. Economic theory suggests then the achievement of the certification is not costly enough to cause a separating equilibrium of talent versus not.

Absolutely, have even done it full-time. Most are justly scarred from bad experiences, but in the right environment with the right people, tech and culture, it's a total game-changer.
I've had a few brands and products for plant-based "meat".

One brand's products were simply awful and another brand managed to produce a very convincing burger that I wouldn't order again. The convincing burger was acceptably tasty but overly dry and priced higher than their real beef burger. It tasted like "beef", but it didn't taste "good".

As products get better, we'll see more adoption, but it will take some effort to overcome the damage done by releasing products that don't fare favorably on their own. The average consumer isn't going to pay more for a product that isn't as "good".
I started at 31. The beginning was somewhat rough as I had to endure a ton of pricks in their early 20s conducting interviews on their own.

Even to this day, I have never been hired after being interviewed by a youngster. I suspect karma might be a thing, so I just endure them all knowing little shits for 30-60 minutes and move on.
I am pretty confused about this German thing, only startups that don't have a current business like Cruise and Waymo are going for the disrupt approach. Literally every automaker that currently sell cars are doing incremental level 2/3 features, including Tesla.
The thread would disappear from front page after days so new people wouldn't come in and talk about it constantly
I am really not that knowledgeable about this space, but I would imagine it's because A) there are a lot of subsidies for the meat industry, and B) there are a lot of economies of scale present in the meat industry that do not yet exist in alternative meat industries.

Of course, it makes sense that when introducing a new product like this to the market, it is potentially going to be more expensive than existing products. It seems like, in theory, one should be able to make it much cheaper just because producing meat by way of animals is just very wasteful from an energy perspective. However, I have no clue what is required to synthesize such compounds without the use of animals, so I don't know how far away we are from being able to do this.

Software Engineer? Where is this engineering of which you speak?
Agreed that "SPA by default" is often a mistake. But (slight tangent / refinement), React != SPA.

Next.js and Remix.run (even more so, in that you can deploy a Remix app with literally zero runtime JS) are examples of React frameworks that leverage a server runtime, to great effect. I've been building and improving websites / apps since 1998 and view Remix as a breath of fresh air, built from first principles.
I appreciate this effort, and I want to try it out... but in the README, I did not see how to literally make a note from the terminal.

Is this intended to make something like Nano easier to integrate with an extra tool set provided by Jot, or is there a feature I missed? I'm not sure what problem this is trying to solve.

> For the average programmer ageism applies though

It's easy to blame ageism, and ageism is real. There are a lot of people who really resent older people and believe flat-out untrue myths about cognition, value of experience and work ethic. That said, every time a friend shares a beer with me and tells me the woes of trying to get a job when older, I hear this:

I can't get a job that pays me like I'm senior, but requires the skills of someone half my age.

The solution is to break out of that box, and either be ok with lower pay, or go for jobs that leverage the value of your experience.

> perhaps due to your own abilities and other special qualities

I'm sure if you looked at yourself, or maybe had someone look with you, that you'd find you have quite a bit to offer when it comes to ability, and especially special qualities. As you get older it's hard to understand what is special because you've seen a lot, and it all seems average.
I did a volumetric dilution of desoxyn crystals, in an attempt to find some alternative tool to manage my ADHD, as a complement to the very limited solutions available in my country.

The scary thing about desoxyn is that it's thoroughly unregulated, so you have to watch for impurities or contamination. Especially scary would be fentanyl hotspots, which can happen if the chemical was improperly handled during packaging.

It's a very scary thing to be attempting, and I've actually had the experiment sitting for several months in my kitchen without touching it, due to how slightly alarming the whole prospect is, but my natural curiosity and engineering instinct tends to win in the end, when I feel sufficiently prepared.

So far I've slowly ramped up to a 40mg dose of oral metamphetamine and I'm still not consciously feeling anything that couldn't be attributed to placebo, so I'm starting to consider scraping the current batch, sending it to a lab for an expensive analysis, and potentially trying again a few months from now, if I have the energy for it.

It's a pretty slow-going project since I have to prepare for 12h of potential effects of each dose, and ramp up slowly due to uncertain purity, but the potential payoff of not having horrible executive dysfunction is pretty interesting.
Personally, I'd like to take notes with vim (or helix), however somehow it's still an unsolved problem to sync files with end-to-end encryption between devices, without also having to use some specialized application.

Obsidian is so far the most seamless way to write and sync notes between Linux and iOS. I'd pay money for a daemon that could do E2EE encryption of any files on my machine and also worked on iOS.

That's not correct. On Reddit, thread archiving (on subreddits that haven't opted to keep threads open forever) is based on time elapsed since the thread was posted, regardless of how much activity there's been. IIRC the interval is 6 months.
> The idea that you might make synthetic meat that tastes as good as real meat while being cheaper is very alluring

This sounds like:

“The idea that you might make synthetic fuel that has a higher energy density than petroleum while being cheaper is very alluring”

Of course it sounds good - but reality isn’t that simple to twist to our desires. Impossible meat was more expensive (in spite of them running at a loss), didn’t taste as good, wasn’t any healthier, and by many accounts wasn’t any better environmentally. All downsides and no upside.

I’m not surprised it fizzled out given those realities. Perhaps if they’d had another 5 years to perfect it before launching they could have overcome one or two of those deficits?
It's not a charity, their goal is to make money.
Oh, when you really think so, I think you are wrong. I'm working now for several years in software for the german car industry. There are many people that try to improving everything in the workflow. But they don't want to add more complexity with a language that is in heavy development, changing fast, is not certified and can read only from a small piece of developers in the field only for a new hype. The real problem with the software quality is, that everytime when anything works it is tried to make it cheaper and outsource anything whats possible until all breaks and the people that had any idea how it worked changed to another company.

There's an old essay I can no longer find showing that airships are way too costly for their speed and payload capacities. There's a curve and they are simply way off it.

About the only use case that makes sense is picking up a moderately heavy payload in a remote location that severely lacks infrastructure, assuming you can (1) wait several days and (2) the weather is nice and predictable. Very niche.
I’m not sure what qualifies as a zombie thread. If the new comments are meaningful contributions to the topic, it’s perfectly fine to revive an old thread. It’s certainly better than to have new threads about the same topic every few days or weeks, ignoring the previous discussions.

In any case, I’ve never experienced reviving old threads to be a significant issue, or to happen inappropriately to any significant degree.
> It's interesting that Peter Thiel's preferred mythology (bootstrappy problem-solver with an industrious spirit) has become canon even among skeptics.

Peter Thiel's mythology revolves around the idea that all of society's problema are solved by industrious individuals, much like himself, instead of the state.

And now we see the likes of a Peter Thiel not only robbing the state of the means to actually do the job he's whining they should do, but also doing absolutely zero to do anything about the problem.

It's not a mythology. It's entitlement, hypocrisy, cinicism, and rationalized greed.
Do photographers posting such photos ask people in the photos for permission? I sometimes take such photos, but I don't post them, unless there are many people in them (as opposed to just 1-3), but that means I don't post a lot of really good photos, which is a shame. I'm a bit on the verge about it.

To clarify a bit, mastery of the language should not be confused with the ability to communicate. There are plenty of native English speaking people do poorly to communicate.

Last year I worked on a project with a developer from Mexico. While his English was good enough, his communication abilities overall were above average. One of his key strengths was to ask for clarification if I said something he didn't understand. That helped both of us. It made me have more empathy in my comms, and it expanded his understanding. So I would suggest asking for clarification if you're not clear, before you reply. Yes, some people will be a*holes about it. But most will appreciate your humility and transparency.

Funny story. My Mexican colleague and I were having a conversation. I said "yada yada yada" from Sienfeld and he asked "what is this yada yada yada?" An enlightening moment for both of us. We still joke about it.
Do you think it would be possible to use this tool to create a full C frontend (including preprocessor)? I imagine the difficult part would be passing preprocessed text (including generated source e.g. pasted tokens, and expansion locations) into the C parser.
