Edit: I would encourage you to read up on religious archetypes. They are not as broad as you seem to suggest, and are quite limited in scope and shared by most religions. Interestingly, these archetypes are all found in the psychedelic experience, indicating to some researchers that ancient religious practices in the past may have once had a psychoactive ritual sacrament. Over time, these rituals were either lost or abandoned, and replaced with symbolic sacraments. There’s an enormous amount of literature on this, so it would be difficult to briefly summarize it here, but suffice it to say, the leading religious archetypes are all found in the LSD experience. In a nutshell, the entheogenic theory suggests that modern religious beliefs and practices come from and originate from these experiences. This doesn’t mean these ideas are real or that god is real or that the Buddha was right, or that Christ was literally resurrected—it means that religion arises out of some kind of strange interaction with psychoactive substances and human brains. Obviously, this is highly controversial and disputed, but it does have some evidence in history, in practices such as the soma in the Vedic religions of India and the use of the kykeon during the Eleusinian Mysteries in Greece, as only two notable examples. In more recent years, researchers have tried to link these substances to religions like Judaism, finding solid, demonstrable evidence of cannabis use (as a psychoactive incense, high doses of cannabis are classified on a spectrum in the psychedelic category) in ancient Israeli shrines, and in Christianity, noting the strange, out of place imagery of fungi in the 12th-century Plaincourault Chapel, as just one example, besides the claims of John M. Allegro, who has been widely dismissed for brazenly claiming, from his scholarly interpretation of the Dead Sea Scrolls, that Jesus was a metaphor for the mushroom itself, and was never intended to be taken literally as a real person. I can imagine how disturbing these ideas might be to sincere religious believers who are heavily emotionally invested in their archetypes as real, literal, living and breathing ideas, but the psychedelic experience shows us otherwise—it’s all in our mind.
Here is an excellent video from an excellent channel explaining the concepts involved: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MBnnXbOM5S4

I like to ask the following as a starting point for an interview:

What is the most interesting project you have worked on recently? Doesn't have to be work related, but should be relevant to the job, e.g. programming, not gardening for a developer role. Why was it interesting? What were the biggest challenges on that project? How did you solve those?

Will show if people are passionate about something specific, and also gives a general measurement on what they consider challenging, and a first insight into their problem solving skills. If the person goes into detail, go along and ask more questions. Very helpful to figure out how a person works. This should hopefully be a low pressure "just talking" question to get started and help people to calm down a bit.
California would immediately become a failed state on its own, unable to meet even the most basic needs of its residents. California MASSIVELY relies on other states for two of the most essential needs for modern civilization: water and electricity.

California, ecologically, is not capable of supporting its own population independently, and short of geo-engineering at continent scale nothing will ever change that. It has absolutely nothing to do with politics, economics, or any sort of issues like that, it's simply the geographic and ecological nature of the state.

Los Angeles, for example, would be impossible for it to exist without modern technology and mass importation of water, most of which comes from outside of California (although some comes from Northern California where it actually rains).

Anyone, like yourself, who seriously contends that California could survive on its own independent of the United States simply does not understand how anything works, water systems, electric systems, import/export economies, globalism, money movements between coasts, investment funding and how it is structured to take investments from the US heartland and VC companies in Californian tech. Your statement is not just a gross oversimplification of a LOT of complex topics, it's blatantly untrue in /every single/ one of those topics.
I'm sorry but that's a terrible comparison. If internet providers would not be in the habit of snooping and filtering on their customer's traffic would we have debates about net neutrality, would we need HTTPS?, would VPNs be a thing?, would we need Tor?, would there be a Dark Web? Granted I'm over dramatizing the situation, but the fact is that internet providers are in fact snooping for themselves, or for law enforcement, denying customers the use of certain ports or protocols, injecting content into non-secure content, etc.

I can understand one being upset that sourcehut's policy changed "after" paying for an account, but you can just stop paying for the service and move to a different forge. Being butthurt that people have different principles than you is not cool.
I searched a bit, and I think I'm the only HN predictor that thinks Russia is going to win the Ukraine war. I've been saying that since day 1. A lot of my thinking is influenced by J.R Nyquist who has been talking about the Russian plans to revive the Soviet Union since the 1990s. He believes that Russian defectors in the 80s were correct in saying the Russians were going to do Perestroika as a strategic retreat because they knew they couldn't catch up with the west with a centralized economy. He has generally been dismissed as a paranoid for many years for thinking that there was any chance of a revived Russian/Soviet empire.
That's a tricky one. Maybe there are some ways in that are less logical and more realistically-available depending on the org, though.

For one, you could look at tech-savvy organizations and look for excited interviewers who prefer to teach rather than listen. Show & tell them that you are listening and learning during the interviewing process.

There are a LOT of hiring stakeholders out there who are like this. They really look forward to some form of mentoring gig, but in the meantime they try to do it at work with new hires. So this is one way in which your position could turn into a benefit if you're unqualified but clearly seeking to get qualified. You had the guts to apply? Of course you did--you're passionate about learning, etc.

There are also organizations that want to be able to say that they are covering bases by filling seats. Not necessarily the best gigs, but they are out there. And what often really makes these jobs not suck is just the vibe--how the team works together and gets along. It's a dice roll, again which can work in your benefit.

Still, I'd be sure to identify and cover all the needed label-check-boxes to the degree you can. Get some basic experience down. Join associated organizations to indicate at the very least that you're interested in growth. See if you can contribute some basic _something_ to relevant community projects.

This is coming from a career coach who has seen some AMAZINGLY unqualified people get hired recently. Like native-language speakers who could hardly speak a word when that aspect of their new job finally came around. Office- and Word-veterans who couldn't find the Print feature. Accounting pros who thumbs-up every team proposal and get called out on the budgeting carpet every year. (Way above minimum wage hires here)

How do they get the job? Was it

A) They lie about their qualifications

or

B) They can demonstrate in one way or another that the wording on the job requirements is in fact the standard that they meet?

Many onlookers would say "A, and they should be fired", but when "B" also fits, the hiring party generally blames the hiring org or understands that this kind of situation just happens. This is generally more common in organizations that brand themselves as working on/with the human factor, though.

You also mentioned "out of the box" and I would add that there is a lot of pressure on companies to write job descriptions as if that's what they are looking for, when in fact it's not exactly what they want, when it comes down to it.

Finally: There are usually people out there who will help you get hired as you are. That's really all that needs to be said. It's not everybody, but they are often out there to find, usually in your local community. There are probably ways to find them if they are around.

Just some anecdotes and possible ideas. It's sometimes really lame to give advice when somebody's hurting, too, so hopefully this is appropriate to the spirit of your post.

And most of all--good luck to you in your search.
Happy new year everyone, may your brain grows forever.
I started enforcing type hinting in my personal projects. 99% of the time it's easy and useful to add. When I can't figure out how to make a mypy error go away within 30 seconds, I just disable it for that line. I feel this makes for very good 80-20 value/effort tradeoff.

I will say that more than one bug has been found after I disabled the single line hint though! Always surprising to me how powerful types can be.

Apple's monopoly via an app store and its market share is the only reason why PWAs aren't already ubiquitous.

There was nowhere further to go, unless you count New Zealand. We don't know if they reached New Zealand. But Australia/New Guinea/Tasmania (called Sahul) was plenty of territory, by itself.

The people who sailed to Australia were of a culture that could sail in any direction, and would have. You would need to come up with a reason for them not to.

Well, the big difference is that the US have explicit transfer payments between states, but Europe originally did not envisage transfer payments between (sovereign) countries.

Now, of course, OCA (optimal currency area) theory predicts that we need 0. different currencies, or otherwise 1. homogeneity (ie similar response to external shocks) - not the case in Europe, or 2. perfectly free factor movement (where factors are basically capital and labour) - not the case in Europe (mostly due to language), or 3. transfer payments.

Given that 1, 2 are not the case, Europe, by entering the EUR (thus foregoing 0) has basically committed to 3 - transfer payments. So, yeah. The rich EU countries now must pay for the poorer ones - that's the long-term consequence of the currency union.
Are they still at the bottom of the education and health standards after adjusting for income?

Hint: I wouldn't be asking this question if I didn't know the answer.

It's long since been established that pouring money at heatlhcare and education does not do much for improving outcomes. You need to somehow cultivate a culture of less dysfunction and money can't do that by itself. It take a sociopathical kind of dishonesty to sit there and tell us with a straight face that these states would be better if they just paid more taxes and ran higher touch governments. Even in states that want to run that way the ROI of each subsequent dollar is not great and a lot of these poorer states couldn't afford to run their states that way. It would be great if states like West Virginia could run expansive public healthcare programs like states like Massachusetts do but the money just isn't there and desire to run such a program and run it well isn't there either.

Yes, a completely different word, in a now conpletely divorced and radically different context, doesn't work exactly the same as the original word we are discussing. Well done.

In your new example, the phrase "your driver" does not refer to a business relationship, so I guess saying "I'm not your driver" to someone because you don't want to ferry them around is now also poor use of language? Just stop dude.

> Maybe you'll say that the EU is great for small countries and not so much for larger ones, who are sponsoring the EU's success with their citizens tax money.

It's not that easy. Germany sponsors quite a lot of EU, however due to Germany's economic position the EU enables a lot of business across Europe with low friction. If Germany still had its own currency it would be too expensive for other countries, not to mention customs and common regulation.

For the citizen however it is mostly noticable by foreign workers migrating here, while going to Spain (Mallorca) or Italy for vacation is easy.
Those are both from 2009, ten years before the smoking gun cited.

That's more due to the deregulated free market sucking people dry in the US over basic needs, forcing them to live with outrageous rents, childcare, healthcare, living costs. The corporations that profit from basic necessities are literally, actually, physically damaging the interests of every other corporation and sector in the economy. And when the cost of living is so artificially exaggerated, outsourcing job to a remote location where deregulated corporations cannot suck people dry over their basic needs becomes cheaper for every corporation.

Housing, healthcare, childcare, transportation, communication, education, military, justice, police, food, heating et al are social infrastructure. They must be prevented from profiteering. Otherwise the profiteers destroy the society while maximizing their profits over those.
I look forward to differential pricing based on every client's characteristics. Libertarians will be charged double, and have their bookings cancelled randomly just before cancelation fees become too high. People with DV charges or who don't return their shopping trolleys will be refused.
Yep. Basically couldn’t move again for 3 years because we broke lease. Eventually went on an online campaign telling my tail. Company contacted me. They Agreed to remove negative remarks. And send me my deposit.

As long as Southwest continues to allow not just one, but two free checked bags per person, I can't entirely buy into the "bean-counters maximizing profits" theme. They could EASILY start charging per bag, or at least for the second bag. Or for Wanna Get Away fares. But they don't. Ever. For anyone.
Not really; definitionally an RSS feed is just a big list of everything a site publishes. Sure, the rules-based approach will work, and I assume anyone who's been using RSS for a while has built up a set of filter rules that amount to a personal algorithm for their feed. But it's a big initial investment in time and effort to set those rules up. If you subscribe to a bunch of personal blogs, you're fine. But if you sign up for, say, the NYT, the WSJ, and Bloomberg (not a crazy list) the day you set up an account on Feedbin, you'll have 200+ items by the end of the first day. Are you 100% sure you already knew every rule you want/need to filter those items? If not, are you a fast enough reader or willing to just mark as read and ignore stuff? I think a lot of people aren't, and social media has accustomed people to not thinking about stuff like this.
That's some desperation there. Wilson served until 1999. What were you doing in 1999? What's been going on in CA since then?

Yes. It seems like running a capability-based system on top of a non-capability-based filesystem is a form of sandboxing. It's not impossible - for example, it's how filesystem API's work in a browser. But it's tricky to prevent sandbox escapes.

>Describing your backup solution for all to see on a public forum is also bad opsec as attackers can learn of your strategy and go after all your stuff. They just need the names of the software, the services you backup to, and run exploits against them, and you're finished.

They did, in the sense someone hit me in the head, I didn't use a passphrase stored in said head for multiple weeks, and then forgot it.

But in the scheme I just described there was no "service", just coping files from one device to another + storing the encrypted backups offsite.

If I'd described say, using Spideroak rather than Dropbox, maybe your argument would make sense, but as it stands it looks like you're repeating things you read elsewhere to appear smart and garner... upvotes? Repuation? To what aim, I'm not clear.

So to be crystal clear: absent a flaw in the crypto, what I described means there is no service to exploit, and on your end, repeating only what others have written without practicing tradecraft is also bad "opsec" (whatever that means) since it betrays how little you've actually done and how desperate you are to appear otherwise.

Also, since ambiguity is apparently not well tolerated in "public forums" -- I never was in the CIA... but I can see why people make that mistake, since there's that core assumption of competency that only those of us who've seen how the sausage is made know is laughably untrue.

If the branch predictor fails, does it have to take time undoing the steps it's already done? Or are pipelines long enough that the fail would be detected before registers/pointers are updated?
What you're saying doesn't make sense. If prices had actually doubled there would have been a big spike in inflation in Italy around the time of adoption of the Euro, which there wasn't: https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/ITA/italy/inflation-ra...

I linked to some ads stuff, it's my understanding Apple does telemetry more than *nix, but actually doesn't do marketing tracking like Ubuntu has done.
Also, as I understand it, a big part of the "win" of branch prediction is to ensure those caches are filled.

If you can execute ahead, through branches, you can resolve cache misses while the pipeline catches up, effectively reducing the cache miss penalty. If instead you have to stop at a branch, you're always gonna pay the full cache miss penalty, which can be significant.
> I took an American one.

Me, too.

> They're safe enough.

How did I know that? Because, the EU and the US work closely together and the regulations make sure that they work with common standard levels.

Each country has a system which regulates which vaccines it considers safe. In EU this is expanded such that the permissions are valid for the common market. The EU has EXPANDED the region where vaccines are permitted under a common regulation, it has not reduced it. Just the opposite.

> Why shouldn't people in China be able to use European vaccines?

For example because China wants to reduce the influence of other countries? Because it wants to promote their own companies? Because foreign vaccines are too expensive?

> If a billion Chinese can use something without it being a problem

How do you know that it does not cause problems for you? Currently it looks like China has a problem with Vaccines.

> We're all the same species and have mostly the same problems.

That sounds silly. Governments, regulators, companies, ... all have different policies, interests, etc. That creates a lot of DIFFERENT problems.

> need a foreign union to negotiate to let me use foreign goods. My own government could

The EU is not a foreign union. It the Union I'm living in. Just like my city, my state, my country, the EU all have different responsibilities. Why should my country dictate laws to my city? It does. Because we are all the same species and have mostly the same problems. In my state, my country, the EU. Those all have negotiated the levels of power they are responsible for.
Thanks for trying, but unfortunately archive.ph is also behind Cloudflare.
The great success of the EU is that it has stopped the member countries from going to war with each other. Apart from that it is an expensive, overreaching institute of busybodies with very little democratic control.

Some of the policies the EU pushes are good, some are bad. But the people have no say either way.
>But you know what? If some outsider were to pose a serious threat to any of the states, we're all going to band together and tell said outsider to get wrecked and go pound sand. That same Texas would be among the first to come to California's aid and defence. The only one who gets to dunk on Americans are fellow Americans, nobody else.

It would have to be a very, very, unifying outside threat.

Division runs deep these days and it seems highly likely that any such external threat would be leveraged by the two teams to try to gain the upper hand resulting in further division.
