The President is not a dictator of the executive branch, he is there to execute the law, not set policy that contradicts congressional authorizations, so there are limits on what an EO can do.

* First, many agencies are (by law) independent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_agencies_of_the_Un... This is now a huge fight, as the administration is trying to also direct independent agencies. See https://www.americanactionforum.org/insight/competition-eo-f...

* Second, if the money is given to the states as a grant, there isn't much the Federal government can do to restrict the funds. There were attempts, for example by the Trump administration to withhold money to states that don't cooperate with INS, but those were struck down. There were also attempts by the Biden administration to deprioritize farm aid to white farmers, but these were also struck down.

* Third, as the job of the President is to carry out the law rather than set his own policy, if the EO appears to contradict the founding charter of the agency or specific legislation passed by congress, then it can also be struck down. The role of the president in setting policy should be limited to signing or vetoing legislation, not trying to tip a federal agency to go one way or another. Of course no President honors this ideal, they are always trying to affect policy, and the courts are constantly striking down EOs that go too far in that direction.

As to pork barrel spending, it's generally money given to states, negotiated by congressmen. It's really hard to stop that kind of spending via executive order. Some of it you can, most you can't. One of the litigants of the line item veto was Robert Byrd, famous for successfully routing huge quantities of pork to Virginia, primarily by relocating every federal office to Virginia, and funding lots of programs for virginia schools, parks, etc.

Here are some examples:

* Bill to move FBI headquarters to Virginia, building a new office there -- spend up to $X (How will you stop the spending with an EO? Move the headquarters but only build half of the new HQ? The FBI will not like this)

* Bill to build a new post office in Virginia, spend up to $X (USPS is supposed to be independent, so hard to block with an EO)

* Bill to create a cancer research fund to be given to some Virginia university, that can spend up to $X. Again, you are going to tell the grant review board to turn down all those proposals? That's hard to do, especially if the review board works for an independent agency.

But here is stuff that you could do more easily with an EO

* Bill to provide up to $X in hurricane relief to qualified home owners. Now maybe you don't spend the full $X. You can set the requirement to screen applicants to be stricter as FEMA is not an independent agency (it used to be, but now under DHS). You have to be careful how you word the EO, but you could get away with spending less.

So while there are things the President can do to spend less, it's often quite difficult to do once the legislation is passed.
Without knowing too much about the original poster's particular circumstances, I expect this is probably the answer. If you can endure until early next year, things may improve.
Guillermo (Twitter OP) replied in the thread saying it will be server rendered. Other replies point out it’s not enabled for all users, so this (and presumably the UI changes it brings with it) isn’t final. I do see the changes, but I also opt into most if not all preview features and I wouldn’t mind if I’m part of an A/B test or whatever.

I wouldn’t be so paranoid to think this is some nefarious plot, it’s probably just incomplete. Whatever their “lock in” strategy, it’s more about building and extending a feature moat that users don’t want to leave than restrictive dark patterns. Harming searchability is more damaging to GitHub (which thrives on being highly ranked in Google/etc searches) than it could possibly be to would-be defectors who are almost certainly capable of using their API either directly or by using any number of tools to do that for them. If anything, shipping this widely as-is would probably drive users away not lock them in.

Judging by the timing of adoption of React/Next for their Blocks landing page (also mentioned in the Twitter replies), I wouldn’t be surprised if this is intended to be rolled out alongside further stabilization of React Server Components, or otherwise integrated with existing internal SSR implementation. (Leaning towards the former given it’s a Vercel person speaking confidently about GH’s plans for server rendering)
And surely it is worth as much as all the other car manufacturers combined.. oh, maybe stock values are not to be taken to literally?
> It's like I'm answering the questions correctly minus one, so I'm disqualified.

That's been pretty almost every interview for me. The ones I get further are the ones where I can answer every question right (or are a bit more relaxed, which has been the exception, not the norm). If I get a single question wrong (or struggle somehow) but otherwise did well, I often don't get the benefit of the doubt and get passed over.

Fastest and most obvious 'getting disqualified for giving one incorrect answer' was when I was called for a technical phone screen for Facebook (many years ago, probably a decade ago at this point) by someone who sounded like they didn't understand anything technical, just had three trivia cards provided by someone on the engineering team with the question and a single term answer.

I was told 'correct' after my first two questions, then after the third question, I answered it in a general sense but without using the term that was apparently printed on their card, was told "Wrong, the answer is blah, thank you for your time." And I got a rejection email a few days later. I was only asked those three questions, nothing more.

I don't remember what the answer was anymore, but something like "toll booth messenging" something like that, it was for an iOS position, I was a lead developer of a small team and had released a half dozen games and apps on the app store already, including one I developed from scratch[1]. Still quite proud of a platforming game called Tracklapse and wish the company was still around and the game still on the store[2].

I don't really do iOS development much anymore, except working on a Swift game for a while that I eventually abandoned (working on something cross-platform now), so I don't really remember what the answer was anymore. A quick google search didn't bring up anything obvious.

I hate to say this but Twitter has become 100x more edgy and fun overnight.

It is an absolute sh*t show and that will attract users. It will repel brands, and for a time, will cause a lot of negative sentiment.

But if there is user growth and engagement it will be difficult to ignore.
You just drive it up to the country and open the door and let it free. You know?

I think the real issue is that there are practically an infinite set of unique circumstances (the time, the economic situation, the current company atmosphere, and dozens more variables) which all can impact hiring.

One very simple example which can result in a good candidate who got far through the process hitting a wall is that a key person in the company became overwhelmed with something unrelated. Suddenly they don't have the bandwidth (or have left the company perhaps), and the progress is now halted. That's just one little common example, but there are so many more. Unless you have an insider who can investigate, you just don't know. Wondering is futile, especially as many of us assume it was some failure of our own which caused the process to end.

In the last year I had several very promising applications which went through multiple phases, all seemingly very positive, which ended abruptly and shockingly (with a "Sorry").

From the other side, we have seen posts here on HN where the person says, "I applied to 100 jobs and this is what happened." If you take a shotgun approach, you absolutely will get something. There are many problems with this approach, especially if you are more senior and have opinions about things. For example, there may be some industries or companies which you would not work for regardless of the money. There are also some companies that you know would be horrible to work for, so you would skip those.

It is possible some of us filter out possible companies a bit too heavily, building our hopes on 1-3. And 1-3 is not a big enough set to reliably make it to the end.

My new strong feeling is that those of us with a little runway (as in 1-3 months, not "rich") should just find a personal passion project and build it. Then maybe the project makes money, or maybe it's just a showpiece to pass some of the dumber interview processes which want you to solve unrealistic CS300 level algorithm tests in a crappy web UI with a timer and audience.

But I totally relate about the feeling. Just one of several examples: There's a company that advertises jobs on HN at least once a month. They are hiring many people for this role. I went through two verbal interviews, two live coding test interviews, and finally an interview with the CTO (or at least the tech guy responsible for a big chunk of the devs in the company). Then I got a no. Either I offended the guy (which seemed difficult to do as he showed up to the interview apparently disinterested and unable/unwilling to ever look at me in the camera), or I failed earlier in the process and nobody stopped the show. But given how simple the programming challenges were and how I was able to suggest multiple solutions, I don't think it was that. So I was baffled. I have more stories not so different. You just _never_ know wtf is going on.
Though it’s not clear that their “risk-on” assets are actually risky, it’s certainly weird that they haven’t built up more equity. Between interest they earn on short term treasuries, and being able to arbitrage periodic seller panics, a normal non-scammy strategy should be able to generate healthy profits.

According to Wikipedia: "In 1992, a French court ruled that having entered the country legally, he could not be expelled from the airport, but it could not grant him permission to enter France."

A very constructive and humane decision indeed. So this poor chap was the living proof of the futility of the court decision.

When speaking positively about some authors that wrote plays in the 'theater of the absurd' genre to an actor friend earlier this week, he replied that absurd theater was producing the only plays realistic enough to confront the modern Kafkaesque society and world. Indeed.

Mostly posting it for later, in case it turns out to be true.

There was also a tweet trying to pin it on a specific coworker.
Pretty sure it happened to Gab nodes. In this case justified (and probably with a bit of push from Apple and Google) but the precedent exists.

Slightly related Google blocked Element a few years ago because something posted on a federated instance. I think they strong handed matrix.org to implement moderation on the default servers.

You could offer it an a managed service and the customer would have to do basically nothing but provide inputs on what version of the software they want running, maintenance windows, etc

Not sure how I should feel about this. GitHub always felt snappy to me. It's a joy to use and I always admired their approach sending html over the wire. Let's see how this unfolds in the future.
I teach in a UK secondary school; the building with my classroom in was built in the 1960s, as many of them are. Ventilation is poor and after a 60-minute lesson with 25-30 students (age ~15) CO2 will be at 2000-2500 ppm. If there are back-to-back lessons it'll be 3000-3500. I can open some doors, but they lead to connected classrooms so this is only practical if those rooms are not in use. Retro-fitting an AC system is likely possible, but expensive.
Here's one study amongst many: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.0261...

"Results: ...Groups of moderate (≈40) and high (≈49) fitness outperformed the group of low (≈31) fitness for inhibition and episodic recognition, whereas no significant differences between moderate and high fitness were observed (ANCOVAs). Breakpoints between benefits from VO2max for inhibition and recognition were estimated to ≈44/43 mL·kg−1·min−1 (multivariate broken line regressions)."

Be a moderately fit, at the very least.

Actually, I found that searching for the balance is a congitive test in itself. It can be said that the way you solve it describes and defines you.
I haven't given a look at this language in a few years; is it still so that there are no enums, and that operators must be surrounded by spaces?
As long as you're okay with not cheap, Alfaintek has you covered.
If you've already mastered a system, then the n+1 case is going to be much more timely and cost-effective. So if you know RoR and you've got a similar team then go for it. But for greenfield projects I'm not sure one should go with Ruby on Rails, and this is coming from someone who used Ruby before Rails.

If I'm not mistaken, even 37 Signals made a new framework for their new Hey app.

That would be better, but I prefer the simpler solution. It also ensures there is no incentive to stop working.
> Crypto is no more of a Ponzi Scheme than Fiat currency is, the big difference is Fiat currency is back by threats of violence (aka government).

"Fiat" currency has a lot of people overseeing it, and armies protecting it. I'll take that over SBF any day.

Even with fiat's issues--for example, with a stroke of a pen, Biden can print and confiscate money and transfer it to privileged college borrowers, causing inflation--it still works better. In this case, our court system is slowing the process down
Might probably be corrected but his first name was Mehran rather Merhan.
Why bother with nukes when the US very likely has rods of god up there. Technically they’re not a weapon, just a bunch of tungsten rods that dropped from space can obliterate pretty much anything.
I'm sorry, I don't see how this is relevant to the points I raised. Specifically:

- do you advocate for the same lenience for all parents of young children (including e.g. those convicted of violent crimes)?

- do you advocate for the same lenience for people who become parents between arrest and sentencing?
It doesn’t sound that conclusive on the Wikipedia page:

> Ur is possibly the city of Ur Kasdim mentioned in the Book of Genesis as the birthplace of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim patriarch Abraham (Ibrahim in Arabic), traditionally believed to have lived some time in the 2nd millennium BC. There are however conflicting traditions and scholarly opinions identifying Ur Kasdim with the sites of Şanlıurfa, Urkesh, Urartu or Kutha. [etc.]
I don't have any data to back this up, just my opinion, but I prefer backend rendered sites with Javascript augmentation for the parts that need it. Just feels faster.

These JavaScript UIs feel clunky and slow IMO. Maybe it's the (sometimes) dozens of calls the UI make back to the server to get data whereas if it was all rendered in the backend the round trip time would be a lot faster since the server is closer to the data, but my browser needs to make a call across the internet to the server and then to the database or whatever.

Also for tools websites at companies I work at, as a backend dev, building those tools in react is huge overhead. Webpack and react and redux etc. It's a lot to deal with for some simple tool. I'm wondering how much internal tool websites built in react slow down the development process at corps.
I've been grinding LC myself for the last half a year or so, it is fun but at the same time it sucks that we need to do this to pass interviews.
Gab comes to mind, before they forked the code to become their own thing. The Tusky case was notable because the app rickrolled users trying to log in to Gab.
Healthcare or disability welfare could be separate, perhaps, but for financial welfare we should never be giving cash handouts dependent on inevitably perverse incentives (staying impoverished).
I'm struggling to take these comments seriously. Do you guys have any scientific or even anecdotal basis for believing that gaining muscle is detrimental to programming ability, or are you all just talking out of your asses?

If there is no basis for it, please stop spreading this stuff. I am trying to build my programming career and build muscle at the same time, and I don't need people being prejudicial towards me because they read some misinformed comment on HN telling them bulking is detrimental to coding.
It’s a feature in the same way desktop Linux’s reliance on commands and confusing user interface is a feature. It stops anyone but a group of cliquey antisocial coders who developed it from using it, and make sure it’s exactly perfect for their needs. They are then shocked when corporate alternatives that actually try to serve a general userbase (as well as having much more resources) take over everything.

It’s practically the history of open-source, unfortunately. Mozilla was able to resist that for a while but is unfortunately falling into the same trap
It sounds like apple can still stop you from running software “for security”. Hard to tell from the wording what it really means

Snappy and intuitive while loading static pages of text, sure, but their code browsing and search experience needs massive improvement. I'd love to not have to clone a repo and pull up an IDE just to be able to understand the code.
In this case, this changes the power dynamic, it’s something that other countries have no defense against. If it’s known, those countries will have no choice but to strike first.
Air quality should be a bigger consideration in schools, I bet students will be more attentative and able to focus better without high CO2 levels. We should create the conditions to allow them to succeed.
yeah, agreed.

I don't understand the need to lump everyone into one big "enemy-or-not" set of categories. The points that Cleese has made regarding the consequences around the 'cancel culture' concept are entirely valid without the need to lump him into an all-encompassing politic-only position.

(article) >And now, at age 82, Cleese has joined forces with the far-right...

The hilarious irony is that he is now a victim of that very concept simply by mentioning the phenomenon, thankfully he's not in a position to care.

If any political strategy makes you feel worried about simply stating an opinion, good chances that political strategy is doing harm to public discourse in some manner.

People should be allowed to be wrong, the part that matters is that they acknowledge the position may be wrong and try to improve themselves. To condemn a human for eternity due to a past miss-step is more 'totalitarian' than anything else this article mentions.

Violence is bad. Yes. I can’t believe that has to be argued.

The glorification of violence in your posts here is disturbing.

State sanctioned violence on innocent people is especially bad, but even guilty people should have their day in court. When an officer kills someone when it could be avoided, it’s a bad thing.

Struggling to believe that on an enlightened forum as HN this is debate worthy.

And finally, regardless of whether state sanctioned violence is required in civilization today, it should be one of civilization’s aims to eliminate violence.
How can a fully backed coin offer 5-8% interest without being a scam? The math doesn’t work out since you can’t get 5-8% yields from short term treasuries.
For one thing, you could make the combat more interesting and varied. The monster AI is pretty simple and predictable.

Soldiers or orcs could communicate and coordinate, for instance. So instead of simply walking the shortest path to the player to be dispatched one at a time, they could harry the player, use ranged weapons, retreat strategically, cut off the player's retreat, etc.

You could have something similar for tame monsters.

It would change the gameplay significantly, and require careful consideration of game balance. I think it would be more of a whole new variant, rather than something to tack onto an existing version of the game.

AI driven NPC interaction could also provide some amusement and make the game less predictable. You could give shopkeepers and other NPCs distinct personalities, where there behavior is driven by complex motivations.And I'm sure lots of other stuff.

Another dimension of the "it depends" response to this is seniority.

If you're relatively junior, or will appear relatively junior based on your resume, don't express strong disagreement, but rather eagerness to learn. The team wants you to be someone who can contribute, and help them make progress towards their current goals. You're not there to re-evaluate decisions about their stack based on the glimpses get you get during the interview process.

But if you're quite senior, the team perhaps wants you to help them level up or improve. Agreeing with everything would also suggest you don't have something new to contribute that helps take them beyond the track they're on now. Don't disagree without a good reason, and be able to explain your thinking. Ask questions before you arrive at a position. Understand why the fence is there before you advocate its removal. But insightful, constructive "disagreement" can still be a way to demonstrate the value you'll bring.
