The last time I used an assembler was before x86-64 was invented, I am not even sure I ever used one in protected mode. But that seems a totally reasonable whiteboard interview question. Written in notepad, might not assemble. Might even be totally incorrect and I am posting it so that the internet generates the warning and error messages.

EDIT: After reading the article now, that seems rather inefficient to me, to use local variables on the stack for everything. And why is the function returning a node if it is mutating the tree in place?
Half the time I order something from AliExpress, it's worthless junk that isn't what I wanted or way out of spec, and the confirmation thing you're talking about was a lot more limited than you're implying

To be fair, though, said worthless junk was like 1/5th the price it'd be in the USA, so it was still worth the gamble

the only major issue I have with AliExpress is how hard they make it to log in
In the USA I think the top 1% income income floor is circa $550k nationally, or circa $400k when viewed state by state. Which is pretty solidly above what I'd call "typical incomes." It's an income level that should easily translate into permanent wealth within 20 years if sustained, even if it isn't billionaire class.
This is a really important point. Seems like the people who are justifying pay imbalances are doing so on the basis of conflating a company's value with its stock price.

Ultimately the question comes down to your ethics around money, but it is interesting to get a peek behind the psychological veil. People who worship CEOs for being able to pull big buxxx do so because they assume that more money in existence is better, period, without thinking about where that money goes and what it funds.
Maybe Karl Marx had a point? Sure, communist revolutions of the 20th century produced suboptimal results, but only because violent psychopaths were in power. We need democratic socialism. Maybe Bernie Sanders has right ideas.
> how much of this is actually due to employees leaving/being fired

Pretty much every position named in the FTC consent decree appears to have left which means they have no-one to handle that and, apparently, there's an audit due in January. This is not "just due to increased regulatory interest due to Twitter having new owners" - it's the existing consent decree they have to work under.
Last week Twitter was supposed to break in a couple of days. Now it will have regulatory problems any time soon.

I'll be interested when Twitter has actual issues instead of crazy conspiracy theory of the day about the future problems that are sure to come, never to be spoken about again if the prediction doesn't turn out to be true.
>You sound out of touch with society. Many poor people don't have time to cook. They might have multiple jobs that take up all of their time. Transportation is a big issue as well. And any disability they may have.

This is not been my experience. Poor people having too many jobs to cook just isn't a thing that I saw growing up as a migrant worker (and with, very, very unstable housing, no hot water, abject poverty, etc.) If anything, most of the poor people I knew had no job or a side hustle under the table for cash because any income would reduce their benefits. Regarding transportation, again, people usually go with someone that has a car and pay in foodstamps or buy them somthing at the store or give a little for gas. Or walked if it was close enough. Granted, I did not grow up in giant metropolises, so it might be different there. Regarding disability, nearly every poor person I knew was trying to get disability classification, because it meant constant stable income. If you are disable and can't cook for yourself, in the US, you can get people that will come to your house and help you for free (paid by the government, I know many people that do this as a job).
That's the excuse they all use.
This is no longer reliable as companies know people are searching Reddit so account for it in marketting
These aren't the same thing as ads. It's paid placement, same thing happens in your local grocery store.
Not much to it. Every individual wire is wrapped up, and stays that way. You just need the stranded cable caps with teeth that pierce through the individual wire wrapping when you crimp down on them. Keystones are a pain tho, nobody seems to make them for stranded cable. But you can terminate the cable coming out the wall with a standard cap, and shove a connector where a keystone would go in the socket.

All those things I learned after accidentally buying tons of stranded cable for re-wiring my house :)
This exactly, I can confirm the Steam Deck is perfect for 5-30 minute gaming jaunts. It's similar to the Nintendo Switch, but the Deck actually has a huge number of varied, high quality games- frequently at bargain prices.

Idling on the couch with my wife while the baby naps for an hour is the sweet spot, where pre-Deck I was struggling to find decent mobile game (having exhausted all the decent games on Nintendo Switch).

I'll add that finding the right game is important! One that doesn't require a lot of cognition. Personally, FTL is my go-to. I can pick it up, do a few encounters, and drop it again without losing any progress.
I was aware of fossil but never used it. It's not a new idea, it has been attempted many time before. Hopefully that one is the one reaching large usage :-)
Regarding VSCode, the CLI commands are designed to be used for such integration. Hopefully someone makes it.
None of what I am about to say is meant to discourage you; or dismiss you - keep fighting the good fight. It sure sounds like you've been through hell.

You should read my comments through an objective lens. I try to be as neutral/scientific/objective as possible with my words and I say this from my perspective as scientist/engineer.

The world is far too complex for any human to be able to model it at high fidelity; never mind compute the 1st, 2nd and n-th order consequences of any given choice on a long-enough time scale. It's one of the many reasons why we conceptually distinguish malice from ignorance - we are only human, not omnipotent/omniscient gods.

In practical terms when modeling dynamic systems there's the concept of Lyapunov time [1] - the timescale at which your "predictions" (first principles reasoning) falls apart.

None of this is meant to undermine individual attempts at being better; more thoughtful humans, but it's absolutely meant to discourage all pursuits of human perfection/exceptionalism. Holding oneself to impossibly high standards is equally psychologically harmful. Pragmatism before idealism.

There are narrative solutions to this. For example, telling the tale from the perspective of a fictional low-level employee. They start out with the narrative we were all fed. And then gradually discover the truth. (Whether they get corrupted or turn whistleblower would be a stylistic choice, though it’s telling no FTX employee blew any whistles.)
They don't need to bribe anymore. Negative reviews get removed pretty easily. It's happened to me.

It's the new normal. Airbnb is even worse, they used to (and still might) actually have customer service edit reviews. Your review will get removed with no notice, Amazon will let you know.

If you remove some or most negative reviews but leave positive ones, what do you get.
With the document policy changes over the last 5 years, most decisions are now very opaque. Google TTLs everything except Docs and code history & reviews, at this point: emails, chats, bug reports, ...

There's probably a tech debt focused OKR for this work, but some other teams probably has OKRs that indirectly benefit from the data, and they're probably providing staffing support, tied to the tech debt OKR. OKRs are for telling people why you're great, if you're at the bottom of the pyramid, and for giving the rank-and-file some direction, if you're at the top. The top level OKRs are usually very precise and very vague at the same time.

So there's probably an OKR in search to improve the quality of the location signals. It can be vague on how. Plus, having more and better data filters into your downstream systems, so even without an OKR for the data you know it will make your models more powerful.

Also all the people who stood between you and your boss's job are now gone. If I survived the initial round of firings and then the code review, I'd probably stick around to see what happens - maybe just to watch the place burn. I wouldn't substantially change my work behavior, and get my resume up to date. But it might be interesting to stay for a while.

No, it's a failing of government policy. Straggling house building for decades, leads directly towards rampant land speculation. (70+% of a houses value is the land...)
Being able to read and understand x86-64 assembly (or PTX/SASS for an Nvidia GPU) is much more important than being able to write it. In practice, even when you're writing assembly, you're looking at reference assembly generated by a compiler from C code you wrote.

Similarly, the reality is that as a professional programmer you spend no time doing work like leetcode.

Instead, you spend a lot of time understanding and slightly modifying (fixing or enhancing/extending) code.

With the rise of language model code completion systems (e.g., Microsoft Copilot) even more time will be spent inspecting and understanding code to find problems.

With these facts in mind, I have been building a new form of leetcode:

Most puzzles are interesting algorithms that you will learn useful techniques from, so it's never a waste of time to think about them. And even though the bugs are all quite trivial, I can see it's very challenging for many people.

It's about half-way ready to launch, needing 30 more puzzles. I am working my way through Knuth's The Art of Programming Volume 4B and today I'll see if Algorithm X (Dancing Links Exact Cover Backtracking) can be made to fit for Bugs 38 and 39 (or whether it's too complicated).

> maybe at taking bets and convincing people to give him money, like other HNr suggests.

This line of thought always comes across as "ego defending rationalization" to me. That is, we don't like to believe that someone who is such an ass clown can be so successful, so we just chalk it up to his family's wealth or luck or something.

But it's clear to me from Musk's communications that:

1. He is extremely intelligent, at least in his ability to understand topics across a wide range of areas (business, technical, finance).

2. He is extremely driven. He could have easily put his feet up after PayPal but he chose to get involved in immensely difficult, grand projects.

3. He works extremely hard (at least when he isn't tweet trolling). I don't think anyone questions his long work hours and sleeping at the office during the Model 3 production ramp up.

4. At least until recently, he was able to get other extremely smart and driven people to follow his lead.

I guess it's really number 4 that seems like the biggest change in the past couple years in my opinion. I mean, I've got to believe a lot of smart people at Tesla and SpaceX are looking on thinking "WTF is Musk on??"
I know what a CEX is and what a DEX is.

The phrase "protocol CEX" is an oxymoron.

"protocol" implies a set smart contracts, i.e., some semblance of decentralization.

A CEX could be fully off-chain.

There are interesting differences in these types worth thinking about if you're imagining try to standardize them somehow.

C++ std::span pulls double duty, one flavour of std::span, the one you might see more often, is like Rust's slice type [T] in that it consists of zero or more values of some type T. The other though is more like Rust's array type [T; N] where the size N of the span is actually part of the type itself.

Rust's slice is specifically that [T] type, the type system doesn't see any more difference between a [u32] with 1000 entries and a [u32] with 0 entries than it would between a string with "DOG" in it and a string with "CAT" in it, their types are identical.

C# Span<T> deliberately can't live on the heap. The CLR doesn't want to cope with this type, and by ensuring it's part of your program's stack any questions about the lifetime of the Span are obviated and tricky-to-reason about garbage collection problems don't arise.

Go's slices are very strange because Go's arrays are like those in Rust, their size is part of their type - and yet Go's slices can append. This is achieved by actually creating a new array and copying all the data for the slice into the new array whenever Go sees fit.

It's not like he hasn't been talking or typing.

His lawyers probably reckoned he was talking way too much, was too much of a liability and dropped him immediately.

The real question is he keeps receiving positive media coverage? They keep trying to frame him as, just a "dumb kid and his friends" that "accidentally misplaced billions" - when in fact, it is pretty obvious he planned most of it, by how his complex corporate structure was and the constant deleting of evidence every step of the way.

Not to mention how he gave himself over a billion of personal loans and spending millions on bribes towards the end for hopes of political protection when he knew he was running out of rope to hide his scam.
If they can create everything why do they need employees?
Well that's what the discussion was about in the first place wasn't it ? The inequalities between CEOs and workers grew, one side lives in absolute poverty, the other in absolute opulence

The poor are still too poor to live properly and the rich are too rich to count, that's not how they sold us capitalism is it ? Wasn't it supposed to even out inequalities ? Money trickling down to the poorest ? Why are there still people in ultra advanced countries who can't afford to heat their home ?

> Poverty definition is a relative definition.

Criteria such as:

"can't afford clothes"

"can't go out with friends/family at least once a month due to financial reasons"

"not having access to internet"

"can't pay water/electricity bills"

"can't heat apartment above the minimum temperature determined by the law"

"can't afford one week of vacation out of their own place"

"can't afford meat/fish every other day"

I've bought and seen crap with good reviews. On Amazon.

You have a good chance to end with some chinese crap if you rely only on Amazon.

On some product, I prefer finding a specialized seller (that isn't dropshipping). Or find a real blog (tends to be hard with all those fakes websites listing top 100 products, but they nmask hemselves when all products are chinese crap on Amazon). Reddit also work to get advice from peoples.

What's more. I make research on the compagny producing the thing. LinkedIn helps with that. Only commercials on a tech product ? Get out.

Maybe. Or maybe they have the only know toolchain to work installed on this single machine somewhere in the basement (seen in a healthcare corp), or they have a chain of trust that needs way too much effort to verify again (seen in the army), or they are not comptent enough to do such thing (seen in airports), or their whole stack is so old it can only run on this stuff (seen in ports), or their target is exotic and you can't cross compile to it easily (seen in aerospace).

Again, not sure that it means curl should endorse such niche situations, but the modes of failure are numerous.

That's a pretty snarky response.

I wonder if the "don't fuck up" principle at an organizational level really applies past a certain point. I think that's where a lot of the internal dilemmas stem from. Google as an example, they can "fuck up" tremendously on an organizational level, numerous failed products and services costing billions. Yet they still roll on, and even interns are very well aware not to do something catastrophically detrimental such as turning Google Search into a TikTok clone. There's just far too much momentum that fucking up should ever be a concern once you're at Google/Intel's level.

So perhaps the fear of fucking up plays an integral role in creating this atmosphere of unchanging. When you're fearful, you're less likely to take risks in general, even if that fear is subconscious rather than active.
