I'll contend that this depends. For example, in mixed-integer linear programs, the function evaluations are trivial, but the combinatorial search is expensive. Alternatively, for nonlinear, continuous optimization problems with constraints, the primary cost is often the preconditioning or factorization of the systems associated either with an augmented or KKT systems. That said, for unconstrained or bound constrained, nonlinear, continuous optimization problems, I largely agree. And, even with general constraints, it's sometimes the case it's the function evaluations. Mostly, I wanted to contend that the linear system solves can often be the limiting factor and better large scale factorization codes are needed.
Seattle did bury the viaduct and add a light rail and build a stadium, so they have accomplished more than SF has, apparently.
Last year I worked as a dev at an ad tech firm that apparently had a money printer. The amount of waste, particularly in their cloud architecture, was staggering. Prestigious office in a very expensive city. I noticed that they hired from big-name companies known for being staggeringly wasteful like Uber.

Just one company, sure, but it did make me wonder about adtech in general.

> not being interrupted feels for me like not being listened

I'm curious if this is the case if the other party is giving other visual indications of focus. (Making intent eye contact, nodding, etc.)

Obviously it may still be uncomfortable because it's not your preferred communication/feedback style, but I'm curious if that mitigates the feeling of not being listened to or not.
I don’t think so? I got a job as a team lead two months ago with seven years experience. Not sure what OP is doing wrong here. The market was HOT earlier this year, but I don’t think it’s “bad” at this point. We just hired another dev and are hiring another team lead probably next year to spin off a new team.

Maybe OP needs to consider doing mock interviews or something to figure out what it is that’s going wrong? I’m a good interviewee and got the first job I applied for.

Maybe you worked at the same place for a long time and developed bad habits? Maybe you’re bad at selling yourself?

I once interviewed someone who said he was a team lead at a company for six years. He straight up made up answers to some of the technical questions. It was horrifying. I’m not saying that’s OP but he definitely needs an objective voice to step in and figure out what the malfunction is in the interview process. Maybe ask a friend in tech to perform a mock interview? They can feel silly but also can really help.

Not true at all.

Or you have Target that is movely heavily into generics right now. Nearly 1/3 of a Target store is stocked with their own brands.

Retail is harsh and it is not unique to Amazon at all. The only difference is that Amazon has infinitely wide isles, and they host a swap meet outside the doors.
I would suggest trying to learn in the same way that one could learn programming: once you know the bare bones basics to get started (modeling) start building a project you're interested in and then look for tutorials on extra topics once you get stuck.

Once you learn enough modeling to be useful, start working on a real design you're passionate about. Eventually you'll get to a point that you realize you need colors and materials, textures, fine detail you can't otherwise figure out, better lighting, animations and physics, particles, etc. Thats where you search for specific guides to tackle your specific problem.

When it comes to blender, I'd also highly recommend keeping up to date with the release notes and blogs about the development. Not only is the project continuously adding great new features, but the development notes they have are really useful for understanding why and how something would be used.
Interesting (and disquieting). I can see this from Google's standpoint also... I don't expect them to shoulder the cost of interpreting a binary blob by decompiling it, so they're left with the problem that the trust calculus is that they're observing a user doing something with very sensitive user information in a binary blob they can't introspect.

Hypothetically, one possible workaround (that definitely wouldn't work for all companies and requires more trust of Google than many will be comfortable with) would be to offer a feature where the package uploaded to Google for hosting on the Play Store includes source code and they compile it to native... But then you have the problem that a company will have to exfiltrate source code to a third party (even though the third party is the one with total control over their app's existence in the largest Android store).
Those governments and worldwide organizations are perfectly capable and indeed welcome to set up websites to do exactly the same thing.
"Indefinitely suspended" implies that Twitter might, on its own, lift the suspension at some point in the future.

Not necessarily the end of the monarchy. Parliament would just choose a new monarch as it did in 1688 when Charles II tried to choose an heir that Parliament didn't like.

Because this matters: https://haydenjames.io/remove-snap-ubuntu-22-04-lts/

I've been getting "Firefox is updating in $time days" as a unstoppable notification, because snap uses highest priority to jam notifications through.

The best is to purge snap completely from the system. And the URL applies to 22.04, but likely also works mostly the same, with possibly more "snap list" crap to remove.

If I could properly administrate snap, and if it followed my settings, I'd use it. But it doesn't provide for ANY sort of reasonable administration nor respectable defaults. So it gets the axe.
In WWI the Germans developed very effective anti-tank rifles.

In WWII French tanks were generally superior to German tanks, it was in fact the Germans who found the effective counter measure - combined arms.

Anti-tank guns and especially shaped charge warheads rendered tanks without proper infantry support all but useless.

Hopelessness and unfulfillment might be considered symptoms of depression if you think that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance. But if hopelessness and unfulfillment create an emotional response by imbalancing chemicals, then the depression is the symptom.

I can't see how hopelessness and unfulfillment would cause you to feel happy, and even feeling neutral seems a stretch. Seems like if you aren't depressed if you are hopeless and unfulfilled then something is wrong! It seems to me like American (Western?) society as a whole is pretty committed to avoiding dealing with hard realities--not just emotions--and we just want to take a "pill" to have it all go away. Anti-depressants have uses, but they aren't the solution any more than meth or pretending the problem doesn't exist or magical thinking are.

That only works if the people in need of assistance don't respond to the on-site security by moving out of the encampment. You wind up having to establish a sizable security-protected area around the blessed encampment, otherwise you wind up with a series of unsanctioned and unsecured encampments anchored by the serviced one. Neighbors tend to object to that kind of thing.

Genetics is rarely that simple.

Take the scenario where Gene X has a mutation that causes a chance to get a disease.

Gene Y also increases the likelihood of developing this disease, but Gene Z mitigates the effect of Gene Y.

Maybe you also have Gene A, B and C which don't directly effect the disease, but lead to less bioavailability of nutrients that prevent the disease.

Now multiply this by tens of thousands, and maybe you also need to include RNA for some diseases/disorders and it's suddenly not very simple.
Again, you are appealing to ignorance.

The biggest reason would be the portability. If you are on a plane, using an iPad is often much easier than a full laptop.
I think this shows that Final Cut Pro on iPad was never really in the cards. Furthermore, Apple is using this Davinci Resolve release in their own marketing materials. I love Final Cut Pro, but as time goes by it seems like it's headed the way of Aperture, after competitors like Adobe Lightroom took over the marketshare - cancellation. Especially when other developers are creating great software like Resolve and LumaFusion. Not to mention hundreds of film editors wrote an open letter to Tim Cook "begging for Final Cut Pro commitment."
Be careful about trusting what people in this thread are saying. If you only spent a few years here to work, live in a "trendy" spot for startup kids, and mostly spend time in SOMA/FiDi/Hayes then your understanding of the city will be skewed.

In Sunset, Parkside, Richmond, Sunnyside, Glen Park, etc the coffee shops and restaurants have chairs. Many with the space have outdoor seating. Lots of them have bathrooms too - the ones that don't are for building space reasons not because of abuse. The bathrooms are supposedly for paying customers only (like much of the US) but I happen to know if you have kids they waive that restriction (blowouts rightfully generate pity from anyone who's ever had kids). I've never been asked for ID to enter a store. My local CVS does have some products behind locked covers but only a few more than my parent's small town CVS. It doesn't have a security guard. Everything is just more normal and relaxed.

That said there are areas of the city where things are much more annoying due to theft, vandalism, and so on. Walking into a CVS in Mission/SOMA vs a CVS in Diamond Heights is like two completely different brand of store. Crime has definitely increased.

You don't need to discriminate to do it, as mentioned in comments below about continued fractions.

In brief, π can be represented as a stream of integers,

[ 3, 7, 15, 1, 292,
1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3,
1, 14, 2, 1, 1,
2, 2, 2, 2, 1,
84, 2, 1, 1, 15, 3,
13, 1, 4, 2, 6,
6, 99, 1, 2, 2,
6, 3, 5, 1, 1, 6,
8, 1, 7, 1, 2,
3, 7, 1, 2, 1,
1, 12, 1, 1, 1, 3,
1, 1, 8, 1, 1,
2, 1, 6, 1, 1,
5, 2, 2, 3, 1, 2,
4, 4, 16, 1, 161, ...]

To process into a rational approximation you want to maintain the two last aproximations a/b, c/d, and to get the first two numbers right you want to start with a/b = 0/1 and c/d = 1/0, zero and infinity.

When you come to a number N in the sequence you form the new rational approximation

(N*c + a)/(N*d + b).

So you absorb 3 to generate 3/1, then you absorb 7 to generate (3×7+1)/(7×1+0)=22/7, then you absorb 15 to generate (15×22 + 3)/(15×7 + 1) = 333/106, then you absorb 1 to get this magical approximation (333 + 22)/(106 + 7) = 355/113, etc.

In a sense what makes it magical is that the next number is very large. The larger it is the more decimal places you get “for free” truncating just before it. That is because this procedure is calculating the continued fraction

3 + 1/(7 + 1/(15 + 1/(1 + ...)))

And you can sort of see that when we fill in the “...” with 0 to truncate the expansion there, that is not so different from truncating it with 1/292 to truncate one step later or 1/293 to truncate two steps later. Those numbers are very close to zero!

Interviewing is "selling" yourself. Do you have a portfolio of some kind that you are actually showing during the process? Are you asking for feedback from the organization interviewing you?

I believe there's meat on these bones. This is the approach some states in the US use for allowing challenge to election integrity if the vote count isn't narrow enough to automatically trigger a recount... A candidate who complains can put up the money to have an individual polling district recount the votes, and if the vote count comes out different enough to change the results, the money is refunded.

I can't imagine Twitter could get away with this without it being interpreted by the regulatory bodies of various countries as a protection racket. Which is unfortunate, because I think there's potential here.

It's even more fun in a boolean column, where some databases accept 't'/'f', 'true'/'false', etc. SQLite accepts some of those, but treats other ones as text.
I have one sitting on my desk. I admire the idea, but the PineCube is crap in several ways:

* The sensor isn't that good to begin with. Too small.

* The SoC is iirc end-of-lifed by the manufacturer and limited in terms of H.264 encoding (low-res/low-fps), even with good drivers, which it doesn't have (yet?). No NPU for on-camera ML-based analytics.

* No real-time clock (although you could add one via I2C).

* I don't think they've gotten the community interest they were hoping for, probably in part because of the problems above (and, circularly, this is part of why the driver situation is not good).

* This is a dev board. It's not ruggedized. And given the above, I don't think a productionized version will happen.

I think you can get closer with a Pi Zero 2 W and HQ camera module, but I don't have any suggestions for ruggedization, autofocus, or toggling an IR cut filter, which are must-have properties for most applications.
OpenStack feels like a promising prototype that accidently made it into production.

This is more SaaS costs are in a bubble, not core-infra (Compute & Storage) offered by Azure/Amazon/GCP.
