Have you never read a credit card out over the phone? Your social security number or other sensitive identification? Discussed private medical information with a provider? I think people overestimate how boring their conversations are. It’s not about blackmail usually, although that’s what folks care about for video. But would you really be blackmailed by a picture of you on the toilet? I might be mildly embarrassed but I won’t go very far to prevent it from being published. But I talk about sensitive stuff quite often on the phone, or when I work from home.
1) create a table (and then query it) - seems very common
2) merge more into it (and then query it) - also seems very common
3) delete (a tiny bit) from it (and then query it) - also seems very common
4) delete (a little more) from it (and then query it) - also seems very common
5) delete (a decent chunk) from it (and then query it) - also seems very common
6) delete (all data for 1 key) from it (aka "GDPR request") - new problem, but common

I sense a pattern here. Not sure what makes these tests "absurd" since everyone does them.
There is no possible way you're casting your net wide enough if you don't think there are tons of good films coming out in "The West" every year. Or maybe you only like a small set of genres?

Horror's doing wonderfully, there's a bounty of good stuff, US and Europe both (since you specified the West—Asia, broadly, also puts out a few good horror films per year). 10+ films I'm very glad I watched per year, probably, and I do not manage to watch all the good ones.

Mid-budget sci-fi usually has a couple solid ones per year, too (Moon, The High Life, Annihilation, et c.), plus the rare high-budget good sci-fi film (maybe one or so per year? Dune, Blade Runner 2049, that kind of thing).

Usually a couple good-to-great westerns per year, at least, though they may not be the ones with the largest marketing budgets.

The average is trash, sure, but there's plenty of good stuff and you can just ignore the trash and still have plenty to watch.

> So why is it there is so much bad quality tv/films produced in the west? Such great opportunities wasted? I had great hopes for the Mandalorian. I couldn't watch more than 2 episodes because the story was written for 10 year old. Etc.

I'm with you on this. I think the average quality in Star Wars land is just so bad that a show that could be considered a peer of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys seems amazing by comparison. (I did finish it—playing "spot the influence/rip-off" was entertaining and occasionally made me feel smart for being familiar with whatever better thing the writers had also watched, I suppose)
So we should get rid of all laws related to drugs, speed limits, drinking while driving, etc?
I've bought a couple of laptops from System76. They charge outrageous prices and and shipping costs for even the smallest part; other than that, getting parts for their rebadged Clevo machines can be a bit challenging because you often have to order from China, so it takes a while.

Serverless all the way. There are a lot of good options out there, with AWS being quite flexible.

The onboarding for other developers is also painless. I've recently experiment with AWS Amplify and even if is not quite there yet, is pretty close.

Lambda, cloudfunctions, https://supabase.com/, https://hasura.io/, AWS Amplify, https://aws.amazon.com/serverless/.

For frontend, I would go with either React or Vue, both with a huge community and already a lot of builtin solutions.
I would 100% start with a design system, maybe material UI.

Nothing fancy, low maintenance and painless onboarding/development experience.
It is quite possible it implements some B instructions (like the Za or Zb extensions) but not B as a whole.

Meh. I won't switch to a Linux laptop until I can get a reasonable resolution on the screen that matches my MBP's output for a reasonable price.

>I do not understand

Well, that's an easy fix. Ask your employer to cut your salary to ~$20k-$30k. Tell them that you're going to be in the office at 7 on-the-dot, and he can write you up if you're 5 minutes early or late; you're going to be there for 8-10 hours, w/ a 30-minute lunch and two 15-minute breaks (again, write-ups for taking even a minute longer than alotted). Sell your car, get a used one (financed, of course), model year before 2012, 80k miles minimum; give the profit away (give away any savings you have, too; you can't access any of your retirement or investment accounts, either). Insist that any credit you have access to be cut severely and the rates jacked up. Sell anything you own other than your car that's worth more than $2k, give the money away. You are also now limited to going 20-30 minutes out of your way to the "good" grocery store, since you are moving to a food desert. Your mattress now comes in a box from Wal-Mart; get rid of any sleep or wake-up aids other than your cell phone. Hard mode: separate from your spouse, if you have one, and adopt as many kids as you need to get to 2 or 3.

People are not making poor individual choices. They are, collectively, subject to perverse incentives that are imposed by a regulatory-industrial complex that profits from the ill health they develop when behaving as might be expected of any normal human being of the past two centuries. Thank you for being frustrated at the state of the world; it means that you recognize that there are improvements to be made. First step: stop blaming the wrong people.

It is also very interesting to read some articles about countries with most vacation, where Russia is also listed like they provide 28 days a year, that make it to be in the top of the countries with the most holidays. And we already know this is not true.

Similar, everyone is Russia believe that they are paying only 7% income tax, which is also not true, because your employer pays close to 40% of the taxes for you, which you don’t know of.

Based on that, if “regular” Russian folk (without doing much research) looks online, they think that they live in one of the best countries:

- taxes lower than everywhere else, they think it is 7%, when it is close to 40-50% (one of the highest in the world).
- vacations are only 20 working days, which is good on average.
As a programmer, I wish I could somehow weigh the amount of software in a car. I'd buy the one with the least.
There’s a big difference between:

- smart person, identifies a problem, wants to solve it with more complexity.

- normal person, doesn’t notice a problem (or doesn’t care), doesn’t attempt to address it, creates more incidental complexity.

The former is a complexifier. The latter is a typical dev.

Typical dev wants to do whatever is easiest. Complexifier goes out of their way to “fix” things.
CHIP-8 is culturally relevant today as perhaps the world's first "fantasy console" and precursor to Pico-8, etc. Its instruction set is small, orthogonal, and easy to understand and so perfect for a project like this.

Good work! This kind of thing really showcases Emacs as an application platform, able to do a lot with very little code.
The government subsidizes much of the basic research needed to identify candidate drugs. However, private companies usually pay for the human trials necessary to bring new drugs to market. A stage-3 clinical trial can cost >$1B with no guarantee of success. It's a huge financial risk.

In theory we could nationalize the whole industry, and let government bureaucrats decide which clinical trials to fund. I'm skeptical whether that would produce better results. Government employees with no skin in the game have a poor record of picking winners.
> Cynical solution - make laws to make food more bland

Ultra processed food is not really tasty but a combination of sugar and fats make it easy to overeat without enjoying it. French, Mediterranean and Japanese cuisines on other hand have a lot of delicious dishes but in these regions obesity is much less of a problem in the US.

Generally I don't like a nanny state but IMHO sugar tax is something to be considered.

> You absolutely will not notice the difference

If you make absolutes like that, then everything I could respond with is automatically “wrong”, so that’s not a great conversation opener.

My smartphone is not a gaming monitor either, but 120Hz is hugely noticeable. My windows desktop is using a 144Hz monitor. I had a 120Hz MacBook Pro for awhile. I’m familiar with how I experience high refresh rate on different types of devices.

You may not care, and that’s fine, but what’s the point of asking why I care and then telling me in no certain terms that I won’t? And how do you know if I would be gaming on this or not? Valve has put immense effort into making Linux viable for gaming. If you’re instead trying to say the monitor’s response times suck, how do you know that already?
I've tried, didn't work for me. The best results was on a special diet I've created myself (based on weighing myself+food and slowly driving that sum down), but after going 116 -> 104kg I felt REAL hunger, where you feel that every cell of your body craves for energy, it was a month after ability to ignore normal "empty stomach" hunger. I went back almost all the way. No other diet came even close to any results, I couldn't even stick to most of them.

Liable for what, exactly?

Generally, if there is no harm, then there is no liability.

In this case, there may be a case for defamation, but if the company only reported that the police were looking for a particular suspect, which was true, then maybe not.
most solar panels do not currently use indium, gallium, selenium, cadmium, or tellurium, none of which are rare earth elements (though indium is pretty rare)

the solar panels that used those cannot economically compete with silicon pv for utility-scale solar any more (perhaps that will change)

silicon is also not a rare earth element (and is not at all rare)

evs and wind turbines can use rare earth elements, it's true, but it's just a relatively minor engineering tradeoff not to use them

Developers have different use cases. I have a laptop with both an integrated and discrete GPU, and the primary app uses the discrete device, however the aux tools (scene editors) use the integrated device, best of both worlds and I’m grateful I have the option to choose the output device. Even legacy OpenGL allows this.
Alternate view: Growing a business to meet customer demands when times are good and contracting it when customer demand wanes is probably more efficient and results in higher employment than structuring your company to weather all storms with no loss of headcount.

This seems to be Hinton's MO though. A few years back he ripped out convolutions for capsules and while he claims it's better and some people might claim it "has potential", no one really uses it for much because, as with this, the actual numerical performance is worse on the tests people care about (e.g. imagenet accuracy).

I'm curious how the weather of the sea affects military naval operations.

How can an aircraft carrier launch and recover planes if it's being rocked by waves?

How can a destroyer launch missiles from vertical launch cells if waves are constantly crashing on the deck?

I wonder how a Navy made up entirely of nuclear submarines would fare against a more diverse force with an equal number of hulls.

Nothing too surprising or nefarious about it. Unlimited WhatsApp is the equivalent to unlimited SMS in similar bundles in the past. Carriers offer it to attract customers.
I've been on the other side of it, and your approach can come across as childish, like arguing with your math teacher that billy couldn't have eaten 4/6 or 2/3 of the pizza because he'd get sick.

It's a _hypothetical_. The problem needs to be constrained because realistic problems often either 1) have standard answers that don't require real thought or 2) are too hard to solve in an interview. Asking how you'd solve some problem on a CPU that doesn't support multiplication or something shows whether you have skills that could transfer to solving real problems but can be asked more quickly.
I don't know if we should or shouldn't but it deserves more thought than you're giving it.

For one thing, I seriously doubt prohibition could ever be politically viable, but increased prices or reduced visibility and availability of processed high-calorie ready-to-eat foods might be in some situations. We've already seen some of this, like New York's soda tax or banning vending machines from public schools.

Having accrued PTO essentially solves this problem. Either you take your assigned leave or if the business requires you to skip your vacation they can either give you an extra payout for it or they can let you roll PTO over into next year.

In practice this mostly results in employees using all of their leave in a given year.
They mention mini splits, which could very well be installed in addition to or even in lieu of a traditional central HVAC.

This is an exception to the electric code, not the rule.

Almost every outlet must be paired with the appropriate wire size and breaker. A 30A outlet must be backed with a 30A breaker (no exceptions!) and wire must be at least capable of carrying 30 amps. There's also restrictions on wire size based on the outlet/breaker, since certain breakers/outlets cannot handle certain wire sizes. For instance, NEMA 5-15 outlets generally can't support wire sizes above 12 gauge, so you're limited to 12 or 14 gauge only.
I disagree - reaction time is commonly referring to the reaction time of the vehicle in these events, the propensity of software devs to treat everything like a video game non-withstanding.
> the vast majority of people, do not like wearing something covering their eyes for long periods of time

I am dubious of this claim given that large numbers of people spend hours staring at their phones every day. They may not be covering their eyes but they are surrendering all of their attention to a tiny rectangle and foregoing a lot of other more worthwhile things.

My hope for VR is that the social experience becomes so compelling that it can break most people out of their addiction to their phones. That's going to be a hard nut to crack but the metaverse will be waiting for them when they finally look up.

I find your earlier post confusing.

You told a story that began "My uncle constantly had a police scanner on when I was young..." The story ends with the supposition that the uncle's obsession with the police scanner saved his nephew's life.

I think this will be great for extensions. Currently the only solid choice is to use the dead simple storage.local which only allows to retrieve things by ID.

Yes, and more a matter of experience.

CS departments might not introduce this well, and the current Leetcode interview prep demands send mostly the wrong messages to students about what's important to learn about team software engineering.

One good way to learn this is to stay on a project long enough for the chickens to come home to roost. A better way is mentoring from people with battle scars. Or at least peer feedback from people who've heard not to climb the ladder to get the bananas (even if they don't have firsthand experience with why, nor an intuition for when the rules should be broken).
