The question content isn't the issue, the interrogation style of date would be the issue.

I can't imagine anything more boring personally! Am I at least allowed to read my book while we go through the list?

Having said that I'd also walk away from a job interview that was in a similar style, so maybe it works on a next level meta. We are incompatible because you brought a quiz to a date and I found it boring, the quiz was a success.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned the demo scene as a resource for aspiring game developers. Wild stuff.
Render programmers are not all that well paid, but they are absurdly hard to hire for.

The highest paid IC's at my last few companies (gamedev) were people that had been there 20 years (He was AI programmer) or the infrastructure people running the gameservers and multiplayer backend.

That might seem weird. But it's hard to hire infra people as they can work basically anywhere and will have as much enjoyment.

Render programmers can work in CAD or Games, there's much less demand, and they tend to want to work in games.
I wonder if you read the part about fraud detection?
Lead developers can get a percentage of sales or profits. We’re taking the John Carmacks and Sid Meiers of the world.

It’s about as likely as becoming an L9 IC at a FAANG however.
This is terrible advice, because if being yourself led to conversation flow and that led to connection then the person asking wouldn't need the advice.
Ask HN: How do you have fun?
I am at a point where I turn everything into work. That's not healthy at all. How do you have fun? How do you unwind so that you can come back to work fully energized?
If you get bored by biological exceptionalism and hairsplitting you can skip this article. There's nothing new here.
The brain is not a finite state machine. If it is then it is clearly equivalent to a Turing machine. It seems like your position maybe is just based on there not being “infinite tape” or something but human intelligence is not anything like any computational model we have conceived, or at least no one has presented any such evidence.
It's not possible to have it all in life. The choice of having kids (and being a good and responsible parent to them) obviously closes some other doors.
It might be analogous to helping the mentally ill walk off a bridge.

Not an easy topic by any means, especially in the context of a culture that so stigmatizes mental illness (even mentioning that it might be an issues is controversial to the ignorant on these topics).
The EU isn’t going to ban online advertising, so the question isn’t that interesting. It sounds more like a slippery slope argument.

What the EU privacy push has created is an incentive for ad networks to improve. What we are already seeing are strategies that preserve both privacy as well as a revenue stream using, for examples, cohorts or that strategy (whose name I seem to have forgotten) of adding some randomness to raw data that cancels out at the learning stage.

These aren’t perfect, but it is an improvement.

Yes for the sake of everything holy, the only time it's remotely acceptable to include with "" is for a header file corresponding to a source file. Otherwise always always include with <> and with the complete library prefix if possible, e.g. <SDL2/foo.h>, <libavcodec/codec.h>, etc etc and add as few include paths as you can, anything else is calling for subtle bugs if you're unlucky in how your third-party deps name their things
> This is not that different from what private equity companies do on a monthly basis

Private equity has financially destroyed a lot of companies. Leveraged buyouts are not exactly a great way to make a company healthy and profitable.
That sounds a bit early - whats your source? This one says at least mid 19th century for not practical electric lights https://www.energy.gov/articles/history-light-bulb

But either way, is knowing the electron knowing electricity? There are so many properties of it that can be known and manipulated without that insight- and indeed they built up that understanding to reach practical engineering and use of electricity. That’s what I think is being gotten at wrt intelligence.

“Knowing” something isn’t necessarily about being aware of its smaller parts.
Even a simple problem such as the 'Towers of Hanoi' looks to me like a pretty messy solution when done with loops and with recursion it all just falls into place.
> It is worth to mention that all living beings in earth are descendants of same cell. Even in earth there is no sign of multiple different cell formation which shows how lucky we were.

I don't see why this has to be the case. If unlikely conditions are correct for something unlikely to occur, then it's not longer unlikely to occur multiple times.

E.g. if you play around with chemical reactions and you hit the right conditions, it usually happens all over the place, and not just one molecule combining.
Also keep in mind that if you want a life partner and kids then the retire-early threshold is much higher. (Unless your partner doesn't want kids or is already wealthy.)

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the point of a graph editor in this 2D workflow, as opposed to a simple list of operations?

Graphs imply branching and recombination, while this product home page just shows a linear series of operations.

Is there branching so you can apply different sets of operations, and then recombination happens with blending operations?
Why not use LGPL Qt then?
The basic problem is that it seems pretty clear that human intelligence is not anything like a Turing machine and no one has presented any computational system not equivalent to a Turing machine. Some might conclude this is a foundational problem.
If you look at their reports, they were profitable in 2019 and 2020. 2021 would have been profitable except for a one-time lawsuit payment, and there’s no reason to believe that trend was suddenly going to change.

How is this different and better from using something like lambda or serverless functions that the major clouds already provide? (which support many languages too)

Maybe open sourcing would help, but as you say, the space is crowded. Why would I want to add an extra external dependency to my vendor list just for serverless JS?

Iterating on your docs to make this clear in the first 15-30s will help.

Open sourcing and providing self hosting options for developers also helps
These are all such good conclusions that it’s valuable to ask why any particular one wouldn’t apply for an organization.
>Nobody bats an eye if someone spends $80 on the latest console, but everyone is sharpening their pitchforks if they spend a similar amount in mobile game IAPs. Even if the hours played and enjoyment received are perfectly equal.

I'm all for people spending money in the way they want to... but I think people that buy little bits of virtual powerups and collectables for a mobile game lean closer to "addiction" than "gameplay" or "enjoyment."

A console is a physical device that you can play tons of games on. An IAP, even a collection of $100s is just not the same.

I used to have friends that would spend $100s of dollars on those mobile games. They don't play them at all anymore. So what was the point? They spent $100 to get to the next $100 barrier to spend another $100? And then they quit?

Again, I'm all for people doing whatever they want and think any regulation would cause casualties but I will always say a game designed in such a way where you either have to "grind 8 hours on monster energy" or "buy your way up" is just a predatory and ridiculous "game" right out of the gate.
> I always assumed mega-large scrolling just used an "arbitrarily large" size, and every time there was a large scroll event

Moving things, even with "transform: translate()", during an "onscroll" event has really bad performance and will always show some level of lag.

Using the massively optimised bowser scrolling gives a much smoother user experience. What you do with the virtualised scrolling is limit the number of DOM nodes, and where possible recycle them during the scroll. But they are "absolutely" positioned within the scrolling area.

So yes, you could potentially go taller by manually moving elements within an arbitrarily large scroll view, the ux will be frankly quite crap.

> This is stuff that will - by definition - Never be a priority in management's eyes.

I'm not sure why you think that is "by definition" not a priority. Of course it is if it's impacting being able to do new work that adds value.

The question is, is that a priority at the moment it's noticed, or something that should be added to a backlog to be addressed later?

If it's a small amount of code clean-up, it's usually easy to squeeze into current work without disruption. We always try to refactor as we go along. If it's "This 3000 lines needs to be redesigned and rewritten", it really amounts to feature work and should be added to a backlog and prioritized along with all the other work.

The phenomenon I'm talking about is ICs seeing something for the first time, and then deciding that must be the priority because it's so bad, and dropping everything else to fix that thing even if it's weeks worth of work. They see what's in front of them as the thing that's most important.
So, I've now learnt that I've been pronouncing "plover" wrong (I thought it rhymes with "clover", not "lover").

Rust has a flavor of inheritance through Traits and #derive.
And still you can make closed source apps that link against LGPLv3 Qt (or LGPLv3 anything as long as your end user has a way to patch the LGPLv3 parts) and sell them without issues?
It's past time for the US to do to big tech what it did to Standard Oil in 1911. In fact, new legislation is needed to prevent this from happening in the first place.

And of course, it is also necessary to restrict the powers of the state to end the possibility of a government that can do anything.
But for virtualized scrolling, the content you're scrolling to doesn't even exist before you scroll to it. There is no moving of things, so I don't understand what you're saying.
> What your comment, in other words, boils down to this: managers, directors, VPs, etc, just build their empires by hiring more and people.

No, my comment doesn't boil down to that. It boils down to many (not all) ICs, especially ones without a lot of experience, are more interested in focusing on problems that interest them than actual issues that customers want solved. So they go off and start working on interesting problems rather than important ones.
To clarify, I think by “move things from stack to heap” you mean “move values from stack to heap”, where, e.g., `std::vector<int>` is a value. The vector’s data is still on the heap (or in the allocator’s pool for `std::pmr::vector<int>`) but the value in the sense of value-semantics is moved from stack to heap.
This is exactly what we are aiming for. There are already a lot of queries that can be processed with 100s GBS of data on my 16GB laptop.

And we will extend functionality for out of core processing. A single node can do a lot!
And built up a ton as well. The trendy thing's been buying up old fashion brands and doing a bunch of product and marketing work - Canada Goose jackets being a thing that everyone and their mom has to wear is a good example of that.
I also get annoyed at correcting voice errors. Wish it was better.

However, I don’t find it cringy. Seems like that would be a more natural interface. It would make mobile devices more productive, for example.

Hang out in a park and write, develop software, etc on a tablet or phone. Removing the keyboard from the computer makes it seem more natural to me.
You can ask ChatGPT to create SVGs and at some point in the past you could even trick it into embedding them as base64 images. Not sure if it still works since ChatGPT is unreachable for me currently.

Adding diagrams as inputs is probably as easy as feeding in an additional CLIP embeddings during training. The trick here will be how to get enough training data. Perhaps there are enough StackOverflow questions with images in the question. For output, you could also finetune some diffusion model on that data.
This person is speaking from the employer's perspective, I struggle to see how becoming a parent would change the equation for their side.

They want to hire people who already have some degree of relevant experience. That is a reasonable requirement. If that excludes some parents who don't have time, so be it. Being a parent is one of many lifestyle choices that can limit one's ability to arrive at an interview with sufficient background knowledge. It does not warrant special treatment & exception just because it's parenting.
> Unfortunately, this subject area is full of strong emotions and opinions that make it hard for people to be objective.

I actually think it's not possible to be objective on that matter, hence it needs to be properly explained, to understand the limitations of one post (but the goal is to have many posts, so hopefully readers can reject the ones they feel is wrong)

> For example the article you link says that Google and Blackberry worked jointly on the 1:1 format phone, and jointly decided to stop working on it. That hardly sounds like an abusive monopolist.

Let's just say that I've seen a bit of first-hand, and a lot of second-hand of "Google working jointly with XXX", and in the vast majority, Google-side doesn't spend much engineering time on those issues. I completely agree this is not an objective point of view. This can hardly be proved, shown or explained, so I have no issue with you not taking my word for it. Hopefully if other people join this project, there might turn out /some/ people that you do trust?

> And sure, at that point Android was more popular than the BlackBerry OS. But this actually demonstrates healthy competition. I had a Blackberry for work, and so did all my coworkers. Blackberry was the dominant mobile platform once.

I wouldn't exactly call the replacement of BBOS by Android a "healthy competition", when the main reason Android won was that it was an OS completely free of charge, paid for by another recurring stream for the company. (I'm not saying Android was worse than BBOS, that I have no idea, )

> Through complacency and poor decision-making, they stopped innovating and competing. And thus, allowed new products with zero installed base on day one to come in and take their market.

That's irrelevant, and belongs to opinions.

So, I probably don't do enough fun either.

> mutual respect

That's the point. This student obviously doesn't have any respect for the country and the culture he's currently living in. He has a point to make and a war to wage.

And that's not xenophobic to say that; I've hosted an Afghan refugees for months. I didn't try to feed him pork, and he didn't try to stab me for eating ham or not praying for Allah. There are decent people everywhere. You can be an oppressed refugee, and still be a fascistic, intolerant moron; you can be a white cis male billionaire and still be a good person (this one's tough though). Being a victim buys you no moral superiority at all. Being a decent person only does.
Naturally, the best maintainers are those that are humble enough to learn from their mistakes. And maintainership is just hard, way harder than writing code IMO. You have to have and defend a vision for the project, and yet not be so staunch as to scare off the many users and contributors you depend on. You can't be everybody's best friend; sometimes you really do have to give a list of 18 different bugs in a 10 LOC PR, and yet somehow try to do it without completely disheartening someone who means well and wants to learn. And then on top of all that diplomacy you still have to dig down and figure everything out when a particularly nasty regression slips through the cracks.

I know I couldn't do it worth a damn, just thinking about it gives me an ulcer.

One other maintainer who I admire is Greg KH, maintainer of the Linux stable branch. 15 years ago I sent him this absolutely useless patch cleaning up the code style of a driver that was marked to be deleted and rewritten from scratch. 15 year old wannabe kernel hacker just finished his first read of K&R and wants to go straight for the damn linux kernel next.

In his reply he not only thanked me for what was basically a waste of his time, explained why there was no point taking the patch, then he went and reviewed the patch anyway! This was at least a couple kloc, and he voluntarily wasted even more of his no doubt precious time to teach me a few more things. He even responded to a follow up email asking for reading material. I'm not sure how he does it. My main hypothesis is Greg KH is secretly the identical triplets Greg, Karl and Harold and they're somehow all kernel maintainers.

That interaction, while just one in hundreds he engages in on any given day, to me was oddly enough life-changing. It let me know I was overreaching to an absurd degree, yet also inspired me to keep learning(big deal for a 15yo). And I did end up becoming a capable low level C programmer, doing some of the best work of my career in embed stuff during the brief windows my health has allowed me to be productive. It also helped me accept that I'm just not cut out for hacking on the kernel, which is fine, almost no one is.
Very cool. This is clearly where we're heading.
ICs on my team have 1-3 hours a week of meetings.

I have 20+ hours because I work cross-functionally across a huge company that is both designing hardware and writing software for it. The complexity of what we build and ship is many times that of anything I've worked on during most of my career. As a result, there are a large number of moving parts and a lot of coordination that needs to happen across teams.
That still fits my idea of "few".

And also doesn't Christianity give some good excuses to question or review these? Especially, considering that New Testament builds up on top of the Old Testament. I'm asking about the stuff around the quotes you've shown (otherwise we could fall for confirmation bias).

Please understand me correctly. I'm not saying Christianity doesn't have cruel or bad things. I'm saying it doesn't give one concrete, final, unchangeable set of rules. With Christian rules, it's easier to find excuse to augment or re-interpret them. I'm not saying there's no rules.
I feel like this happens at every tech company I've worked for. The management in charge of promotions is not tech savvy, so 'under the hood' improvements and general maintenance goes completely unappreciated, while flashy, superficial UI updates are bestowed with gold medals and promotions.
I'm also experiencing OP's problem.

> If a lecture is basic and you could indeed replace it with a quick video, look for better, more challenging or unique lectures/degrees/curricula.

This has for years been a point of frustration for me.

Do you have any suggestions on how to get into more challenging lectures when the previous ones are prerequisites, and cannot be tested out of?
Jack was a 3% owner with no real power to rein in his secret police. He was Rasputin in beard only. His top executives mocked him in not-so-private chats. Elon ain't having that and quickly axed the disloyal factions. That speaks to his acumen as a leader. It's arguable whether Twitter has a brighter future as a Blue Team party organ (partially subsidized by the surveillance state), or as a "public square" with diverse views. One bet is that the mainstream media have shit the bed with their partisanship and are now completely discredited, leaving the field open for a new trusted news source. That seems to be the bet Elon is making, at least in public. Doubtless, he has some other business interests tied up in owning Twitter and will have to work out political support beyond the DoD. But it is interesting to see the soft white belly of the State Dept and CIA/FBI exposed. Clearly, his enemies are not the people who control lucrative satellite contracts. Do your own math on that one. And there's always the simple explanation that Elon has some residual affection for classical liberal capitalism, a vestige of that ol' Valley Libertarianism typical of PayPal at its founding (and other 2000s era entrepreneurs and VCs). In this interpretation, what we're seeing at Twitter is partly a reassertion of entrepreneurial ownership interests against the managerial class of public/private mandarins.
I think you are right, but keep in mind the perceptions we have are built on an internal model of the "real world" and we operate mind on that, not the real world.

For example, if you were to imagine an apple in mind, what is it that you see, if anything?[1] Are you seeing a real apple, that you saw before and saved as the reference apple, or are you seeing an apple that your mind synthesized and then gives to you for perception? And, where does this vision synthesis occur? Is it external, as Theosophy claims[2], or is it internal?

The comment above about gathering entropy from the real world is interesting. So, is it that consciousness "emerges" from the mashup of real entropy gathered with sensors, then modeled internally with computation, or is it contained in the real world already, in the form of another model (like a soul model or some such) and therefore comes from outside us? Or is it a little of both?

Emotional states could be just another model, which set the working conditions in a given moment. It could also be possible the real world, from which our sensors gather information, is a very complex model in-and-of-itself.
