BTW, why are you applying just for internships? I checked out your (non-forked) github repos and you're definitely better than I was as an intern. It's not senior engineer level, but you could definitely go for at least a junior eng position for sure. God knows we hire much worse junior FE engineers than that. Or are you interviewing for FAANG(-like) positions only?

edit: small tip though, I would rename the App2.js etc. files to something else, having multiple files named the same but with a number difference says a lot about experience level.

also: do not use regex for parsing XML (https://github.com/BlastWind/xml-leaf-highlighter/blob/main/...). That is also a common newbie mistake

I hope this doesn't come across as patronizing, I didn't mean it so.
1. NS1 and/or NS2 were ready to reopen according to Putin if Europe were to lift sanctions.

2. EU is trying to stop being reliant on Russian gas, so far it isn't fait accompli.

3. Based on 1+2 we could assume someone wants to push EU as far away from Russia as possible as fast as possible(regarding gas supplying, to be clear)

So again, who profits and has the means to do accomplish such feat:
1. USA: very vocal against NS2, wouldn't be affected by such destruction of foreign infrastructure, stands to gain when adversaries lose. Germany becoming dependent on US gas is a massive bonus. Imagine being able to control EU's largest economy on a whim.

2. Russia: assuming they would want to destroy the pipes, and not the much easier land infrastructure, why not let the world know about it ASAP?

3. Eastern Europe: only Poland has the means and maybe motivation to do so.

The sad thing is that it's probably inevitable that someday an MBA will decide to burn that goodwill for some quick cash. Maybe not for a long time, but eventually it will happen. That's the society we've built and live in.
The original mechanical keyboard.

I'd actually enjoy having a typewriter and being locked somewhere far and not have to think about build times. I remember an interview with a hacker who wrote code on paper while he was in jail, said it was extremely productive for him. A lot of modern writers also use typewriters so they can focus better without internet access.
The same is true for managers. The manager whose project is late and over budget, but whips their staff into working long hours is seen as a decisive hard charger. On time and on budget projects must be easy and the managers of such projects are seen as weak and unambitious.
There's a useful Apple-created tool built right into the OS:

1. Cmd-space for Spotlight

2. Type Storage Management

3. Hit Review Files

Now you can sort by largest files and quickly make an impact on space used.

The only problem I had with Apple's storage management utility is that it kept reporting a Steam game using 27G when that game was long deleted (and Steam itself was deleted). To resolve this, I had to go to the ~/Library/Application Support directory and completely remove the Steam folder (which didn't actually have that 27G game anywhere in it.)
Very, because historically a levered long position in the market beats the market consistently over long periods. Beating the market turns out not to be a very interesting metric to sophisticated investors.
We could reorganize our entire economy, so that we could live in a world with $200/pair sneakers, $500/month rent, and free universal healthcare. This alternate world would likely be much less carbon-intensive, have a higher life expectancy, and vastly reduced rates of depression and anxiety; unfortunately, as it could reduce profit for shareholders, it could never happen under capitalism
Absolutely. Setting up a new bank account sounds annoying but it's mostly done online and every month there are plenty of banks offering like $200 - $1000 in signup bonuses. Totally worth it to have a backup bank account.
I think the colloquial usage has roots in Python's use of it, I've been hearing about anonymous functions being called lambdas for a long time. The Lambda service's name seems to play on that prior colloquial usage.
My paraphrase: There should be no lambda keyword in Python because the lambda keyword implies idiomatic support for lambda calculus, which Python does not have. (I infer that the author supports renaming the keyword to something like inline instead.)
Yeah, in my experience, there is a BIG difference. Having a manager who is a bad fit for me has been far more difficult when I've been in management roles than when I've been in IC roles. And it was even worse for me when I was managing managers. Many of the problems (and many of the good things) created by my manager scaled up with the number of people reporting up into me. As an IC, I could minimally comply with any BS requirements and use the rest of my time to create actual value. As a manager, performance is much less directly attributable - it's easy to claim that anything less than full compliance is hurting performance, even if that's the opposite of the truth. Paraphrasing an actual feedback conversation...

VP: "I've heard for years that you're an incredible manager that gets great results. But now that you report to me, I'm confused. You can't even get your engineers to fill out the daily status reports I told everyone to do. I think your engineers stay at the company longer because you coddle them."

Me: "I think I get results because my management approach, among other things, doesn't involve engineers filling out such reports on a daily basis. I told them they don't have to as long as they surface problems to me right away so that I can keep stakeholders informed. I've found that this allows them to stay focused, leading to better project outcomes and happier engineers."

VP: (literally laughs out loud) "No, seriously, they need to be filling those out daily. You're holding them back."
Damn. I hate customizable title bar. And they say that it's improvement!!!!

Only place where I find it useful is web-browser, to render tabs.

P.S. I do not prefer ultra wide monitors, so most of a time I have vertical real estate.
Getting cars onto portable, standardised software makes the chips much more of a commodity and should reduce supply chain issues a lot - you go from needing to source xyz specific microcontroller to just needing to source "a chip that can run iOS/android version x".
+1 to their import tool. I was really surprised at how good an experience that was. So simple and effective. And idempotent - I had to restart it after re-enabling some of the labels and no dups.

My only issue is the spam filtering isn't nearly as good. I need to regularly check spam.

> Code quality that comes, is not on par with the skillset we evaluated during the interviews

Could it be that your interview process is not evaluating the correct skill set? As an engineer with 15 years of experience, very few of the many interview processes I've completed were actually an acurate reflection of my abilities.

This “article” is simply taking some numbers from Wikipedia and tossing them in a word salad with a single excel chart.

The difference is the computing power available increased, allowing for better solutions. The money being available is also a key factor.

It’s not terribly complicated; we iterated on ideas, tried new things, and had far more computing power and more mature tools.

That affected the materials science that this all relied on in similar ways.
Are there any downsides to doing this?
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I'll explore these.
Obvious answer would be that they cannot switch off Norwegian gas but can definitely blow up a Norwegian pipeline (or Polish, or British).
I'd love to get out of the 10-year GMail account I own. It's so tightly integrated with other services that it feels like it would take a monumental effort to make happen. Someone send help.
Alternative title: now your web apps, just like your native apps, can have unpredictable drag/resize/snap/double click to maximize behavior!

Ugh. I wish apps would leave reusable consistent system UI elements alone. Has Adobe gotten around to making their title bars DPI-aware yet?

Every app that tries this gets at least something wrong. Let's take a look on a random sampling of native-ish Windows apps:

Discord (Electron): Supports right click for the system menu, but doesn't change the icon to show whether a window is maximized or restored. Doesn't change color based on active or inactive state. In fact, doesn't change anything at all, not even the subtle 1px window border Windows 10+ uses. Shame on them. For a long time, I believe they didn't support dragging a maximized window back to restored, but it works now.

Facebook Messenger: Not awful. Proper height, double clicks to maximize/restore work, right click for system menu works. Title bar doesn't change when inactive, but the left menu uses the glass effect to make it sufficiently obvious. Also no double-click to close, but this is one of the better attempts I've seen.

Chrome [bias: I work on Chrome]: Gets the important bits right. Chrome does it far better than most apps, since they use the Windows APIs to draw over the native title bar, which means they get my system colors and some other things included.

Microsoft Office (let's pick on Word): Ugh. Ugggggggh. Bright white as the burning sun and their only affordance towards showing if the window is active is changing the text to a light gray that has no contrast when inactive. What's a button? Where can you click to drag? Nobody knowwwwwws. Why is there a search box in the middle with a big empty space to the left? Why is the title off-center to the left of that search box? Has anyone in the last 12 years ever actually noticed the customizable set of buttons in the upper left and used them? (Answer: no). Office gets the most hate in my mind for initially popularizing it and in particular the "if Microsoft does it it's OK if we all do it" effect. Starting in Office 2010 or so the Office Apps have had some of the worst title bars I've ever seen, but everyone has copied them.

Firefox: Repeated the sins of legacy Microsoft Edge and leaves no space above the tab to drag, but to its credit does leave a small square in the left (and on the right if you fill it with tabs) so in theory you should never get stuck with a partially-offscreen window you can't drag without closing tabs. Overloads right click and doesn't include the system menu.

Steam: Almost no difference between active and inactive. Multiple tiers of menus at the top, all of which let you drag for some reason. DPI Issues.

....anyway, I could go on for years, but stop implementing custom title bars.
Thanks! I replied back from my personal address. Just took some extra time to formulate my thoughts. Hope you received it!
I'm certain that there will be investigations from NATO navies soon, and we will have some explanation. Whether or not that's actually what happened or not will depend on who did it and who is most beneficial to pin it on, but I'm sure there will be pictures that are illustrative.

GitHub chose to include a huge amount of software by default in their runners. Just look at this list: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/li...

This means that you are able to run a ton of tools without any explicit setup steps. It also means they have to maintain all that stuff "forever", and the versioning is very inexact. I feel like this issue is a symptom of that choice. Their base images are huge, though I can't find exact numbers right now since there's not actually any official images for it.

Another issue is that if you try to use a self-hosted runner, all of your actions will break because the self-hosted runner is missing all the preinstalled software. This was pretty confusing to me because this seems to go against the "reproducibility" aspects of a CI. There's not even an (official) way to run GitHub actions locally, so you immediately become dependent on the Microsoft-hosted offer. To me it feels like this was maybe even intentional so you have to buy up their expensive compute minutes when running the same things on a bunch of VPSes is much cheaper.

This is all opposed to GitLab, which solved the same issues years earlier. Here you have to chose your images yourself. It's a bit more work to setup an action because of it, but in my opinion it's much more sustainable and has less surprises in the longer term. There's a single simple command to just run an action locally, and you can easily deploy a runner that will work exactly like the hosted version.
I did look it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calico_Early_Man_Site#Current_...

> The present consensus is that there is no evidence of human activity at the Calico Early Man site. This consensus developed based on a number of factors, including:

> The lack of other evidence of human activity (e.g. human or animal remains, or non-tool artifacts).

> The deep antiquity of the site (the next oldest date for human artifacts in the Americas is 30,000 BP, and that date itself is controversial).

> The sheer number of possible tools, up to 60,000 by one account.[6]

> The research by Duvall/Venner, Payen, and others providing possible natural explanations for the stone objects.
I switched my primary email to Fastmail a few months ago. My requirements were simply:

- must work well

- must be a paid service with proper support from a vendor focused on email (i.e. not consumer gmail)

- must allow custom domains (so I can regain control over my email if the provider goes under by updating MX records)

- must be the cheapest in the absence of compelling benefits (ruled out GSuite or protonmail)

Fastmail fitted the bill and seems to be working as I would expect.
I've come to the conclusion that it's mostly a waste of time to be honest. I'll refrain for a while. But when I do post, I'll be helpful and interactive. Like replying to these comments Iguess. Good insight tho.
Yes, it did. I am a native speaker. And, yes, I know a lot of borrowings from Iberian Romances, and non-Romances too.
The word “cheaper” here is doing a lot of work.

Yes, it’s cheaper, meaning that it allows you to ship more stuff faster. You could make the argument that this results in lower quality, but this isn’t always the case. (For example, VS Code feels great!)

Still, I’d often rather have twice the features at 80% the quality, instead of an extremely high quality product that doesn’t have the features I need.

Cheapness leads to abundance leads to innovation.
Now a single app bug can make it so you can't drag a window. Oops, we accept clicks everywhere and never fall back to whatever the web equivalent of DefWndProc is, I guess it's all app space and no actual title bar in that blue.
Some simply build a portfolio by copying those who can't be charged for violating market rules. Not sure why some folks find this strategy so controversial. =)

> So you think they had to demonstrate they know how to blow up a pipe? Like Western intelligence officials didn't know that?

The intelligence knows for sure. But imagine the effect such action has if it happened that the pictures of gas bubbling up the Baltic sea were shown on TV in every news program for a week.
Is the source code available somewhere?
This is how I see these events. It's all the product of someone that wants to survive and keep the perks until his death - at all costs.

If there was a greater interest at play Russia would be a very different place, and Ukraine would willingly join their sphere of influence.

A few years back I bought a Chinese hot air rework station for <$200. Maybe like “Ayoye” or something with a lot of vowels. It has a soldering iron with a vacuum pump as well.

I never really use the hot air part but am in love with the iron. I can dial in the temp and avoid breathing fumes directly. It is so much nicer to use than my old Weller with a temp dial.

The sanctions are designed to wreck Germany and it's working.

Industries will move to the US, where energy is available and labour laws aren't as stringent.

Biden even had a bit of a Freudian slip when he said "Germany" in that clip and then changed it to "Russia."

Now that the gas lines are done for, Germany can't even negotiate with Russia (or the EU) to get the gas back.
I have fastmail pulling email from my gmail inbox. With those emails in the same inbox with email for my new address, I miss nothing.

When I’m ready, I’ll set a rule to move incoming gmail into a folder so I can easily see all the senders with my gmail address. That’s when I can work on changing those accounts to use the new address. However … procrastination.
I think that such a society would rapidly collapse as there would be nobody left smart enough to maintain the infrastructure, nor handle a crisis.
Scheme has the lambda special form, predating Python by decades, and its version also allows for multiple parameters in a non-curried way. SICP served as a classical textbook in computer science for multiple generations of students, so I think that a lot of people's first introduction to lambdas as anonymous functions came from Scheme:

The entire invasion of Ukraine looks childish from where I sit. That hasn't stopped them.

It is important in that verbal threats do not carry much weight when so many other threats have already been wagered. For example Putin has already threatened to attack Finland if the join NATO. Sometimes you need a little more than words to get your message across.

I like the feeling on my hands.
I get the sense that "real Connor" must have been extremely good at concisely explaining the situation and giving the interviewer exactly the information he needed to believe real Connor and understand the situation. It made me think of one of those movies like groundhog day or "source code" where someone has multiple tries and eventually comes up with the most efficient possible thing to say to get someone to trust them. Well done!
That sounds like a huge hit to energy use, if it is even feasible for something like implementing webrtc because of communication costs with the native process.
Because it's a `Library/Application Support` folder within `~/Library/Containers/`, I wonder if this a feature hastily ported to macOS's sandboxing system.

Feels like every new technology starts by innovators and then gets ruined by profiteers. The Internet in general (numerous small hobbyist sites → huge ad revenue behemoths), email (plenty of providers → everyone just use gmail), social media just between friends → massive propaganda machines, independent blogs → twitter/fb, and crypto is no different. Once professional investors got involved the focus changed.

Kinda a pessimistic view, and there is some value to centralization (e.g. Apple and Google probably contributed more innovation than a sea of small startups) but there's also a cost.

Doesn't matter if it's a follow up to Biden's threat or not.
It was probably a joint US-Polish operation.
The Poles wanted to stick it to Putin and ze Germans for historical and more recent inter-EU spats.
The US has obvious reasons, no need to elaborate here.
In case things go south the Poles will be exposed as rogue agents of NATO and take full blame.
If everything goes well, then I guess we'll be reading about it in about a decade from now. Maybe there will be a wikipedia page as well.
