If you're interviewing with an early stage (read: pre-series B) startup, the founders believe you're a good fit, and they have seeded a good culture, they will be happy to let you interview every person they've hired so far.

I like to ask these people "Why did you choose this company versus any of the other ones?" and "What were your expectations about [thing I'm uncertain about], and how did your experience differ from that?"

Startups actually have more signal to offer than most big tech companies. However, the onus is on you to scuttlebut, and it's true that the risks of not doing it well are more severe.

Re: compensation, if you are able to demonstrate competence and efficacy, early stage startups will offer you a cash basis comparable to that of big tech. Of course, if your expenses have inflated to the expectation of selling big tech RSUs every year, you should expect a pretty significant "real" cut in annual income unless you walk in to another public company.

Higher education has grown disgustingly large. There is no reason grad students, which have driven a good portion of this growth, shouldn't be somewhat rewarded.

Once again workers in this country are asking for the bare minimum as they continually get screwed over. Just another cartel taking away from people doing the actual work, with their endless army of bureaucrats.
Or maybe allow free usage with an added watermark. So that people can try it out on their own screenshot, eventually distribute them internally, and pay when they need to remove the watermark for public distribution.
The responsibilities of a manager are necessary.

Whether we hire a dedicated manager or have the responsibility rotate among teammates really depends on a bunch of factors both internal and external to the team / company.

Most people who get a job in America (can't speak for other places) are not interested in managing. It's too messy. If more doers took on management work - we'd be able to push out shitty managers. Until that happens though, my recommendation is to immediately move to a different team or company as soon as a shitty manager is installed.
Well, maybe if you wrote it like this:

mandatory_leading_letters = "^\w+"

optional_suffix = "([-+.']\w+)*"

domain = "\w+"

domain_suffix = "([-.]\w+)*"

tld = "\.\w+([-.]\w+)*$"

regex = "{mandatory_leading_letters}{optional_suffix}@{domain}{domain_suffix}{tld}"

Then you could understand it? Seems to me the trouble isn't with regex but with the decision to write a regex without trying to make it understandable. It is also possible to minify your onto one line in some languages or otherwise obfuscate it; should we then condemn it?

If the author had to fix a multi-line regex, I hope that in the process, they understood it enough to break it up into pieces so that the next time it would be more possible to debug.

Regex are pretty neat. They are often not the solution. I would not want to use lookaround for example. But also, they are really useful in a lot of cases, and I would hate to not use them because they're capable of being obfuscated.
What is really troubling is that many kids are impatient with technology (thank tiktok and other apps for that) so coding is the worst they could imagine.
The sentence's grammar is vague. The "was" might have been meant to apply to both clauses, so that the driver "was seated" at the time of the crash and then "was moved" during the ensuing mayhem. Or he crawled into the back and died.

The NTSB might have been trying to use neutral language for uncertain events, like how "the position changed" could mean intent or just a force of nature. I don't know what the right interpretation is.
I remember reading an archived copy of the FDA press release after they finally approved beta-blockers, a medicine that had been approved and widely distributed in Europe for some ten years. In the press release, the FDA was proud to announce that as a result of their approval, beta blockers would save the lives of an estimated 10,000 Americans every year.

That is to say, the inefficiency of the FDA was, in the words of the FDA itself, directly responsible for the premature deaths of 100,000 Americans. And that was for beta-blockers alone.

I laughed when watching an FDA press conference during covid, where the spokesman said that the agency was streamlining approval measures to get covid vaccines approved faster. A journalist asked if this would negatively impact the safety or efficacy of the vaccine to which the FDA head confidently replied that it would have zero material impact. It makes you wonder, if they are capable of quickly making approval decisions without sacrificing safety or efficacy standards, why is that not standard operating procedure? There are no answers that don't lead one to conclude that the FDA is a bloated, bureaucratic, wasteful mess.
It's incumbent on the employer to provide evidence to the UI board proving their case.
If you're writing functions for basic mathematical operations, then sure.

But how often is anyone doing that? If you design microprocessors, or programming languages (maybe), or numerical libraries. But hopefully if you do any of those, you already know to test every value against a reference algorithm.

Is there anything in this post that is more generally applicable to the other 99.99% of developers? I'm trying to think of anything I've ever written where it would even be possible to test billions of input values, but there'd never be a reference to test it against.
It is beyond me how people continually compare things that are (supposedly) hard to read because of HIGH semantic density (regex/perl/APL/...) with things that are hard to read because of LOW density (brainfuck). It is a pretty terrible comparison but sadly people seem to do it a lot. Is is not obvious just from a quick glance that they're completely different?!

Anyway, the regex in question is extremely easy to read (the clue is in the name regular) (that's a word, followed by any number of groups that are one of these characters followed by a word... etc - you get the point). I think that regex is probably one of the easier ways of expressing the idea.

Regexes aren't 'skimmable', but they are (in a lot of cases, like this one) readable (because they are, yknow, pretty regular), so reading it slowly should be possible for anyone who knows what the basic rules are, which there aren't many of.
Yeah. It annoys me to no end that the new powershell didn't take the opportunity to move the config out of My Documents and into roaming app data which in theory is where that sort of file should be.

It's things like that which have made me give up on %USERPROFILE% (and to a lesser extent $HOME), and I now put my files that I care about into a completely separate folder outside of the normal hierarchy.
They have to work a ton. They're being used for cheap labor.
I don't like "grad students" as a category.

Master's students, or early stage PhD students, are typically continuing their undergraduate education. They should be considered students for all intents and purposes.

People doing research for a PhD should be considered junior professionals rather than students and paid accordingly. When I was doing it, the pay was 2/3 of what you could reasonably expect in the industry. That was a fair sum, considering the freedom and flexibility that came with the job. When I look back at that time, it was the period in my life when I had the best balance between income and free time.
I’ve had this for years. I Only have a hotmail account for backup purposes. To be fair, it is differentiated enough for me not to accidentally click it.

What angers me more than ads is that hotmail/outlook addresses are recycled. I still receive emails for the old owner of my email address, including Facebook OTPs. I could log in and steal his Meta account if I wanted. It’s downright dangerous, can’t believe they still allow it.
> The question seems partly "What is the difference in recipes?" and partly "How are these words currently used?"

Good insight. Yeah, there are two different dimensions here.

One important similarity all around: I'm usually up for just about any cornbread, naan, or kulcha. ;)
Not necessarily. There are plenty of grad students who do pay full price and do not take on any of the responsibilities.
I think this is awesome, good job!

Yes. Agree. The only thing preventing this going all the way is the friction in timezones and difficulty in co-ordination (i.e. still requires someone local to the remote people to manage their work).
Plug: I made a small set of shell scripts to achieve something similar to this a couple of years ago, but with symlinks:

https://tomwh.uk/blog/posts/2020/03/28/fake-home-prison/

https://tomwh.uk/git/fake-home.git/

It's a simple command that shadows the binary names you want with a wrapper in ~/.local/bin/ that calls the original binary after redefining $HOME to be somewhere else (by default inside ~/.local/share/fake-home/).

So if you have a program foo that dumps stuff in ~/.foo, then running `fakehome-banish foo` will create a symlink "foo" inside ~/.local/bin/evil-software (which is added to $PATH) that points to "fakehome".

"fakehome" is a simple wrapper script that, busybox-style, gets the binary name that it's being called as ("foo"), and then sets $HOME to be ~/.local/share/fakehome and calls the original foo binary.

It's not like HIV is the easiest virus to test a vaccine against. A clinical trial against COVID is pretty ethically sound: provided the vaccine is harmless, the novel virus which most people still survive is survivable.

With HIV, if the vaccine is harmless, you're still left with the fact that failure means a bunch of people get an incurable, fatal disease.

HIV vaccine trials are costly and lengthy: you take a statistically at-risk population, vaccinate half, and then tell them to not assume the vaccine works, but a decent number of them are likely to (1) assume it does and (2) engage or be victimized by risky activity which leads to some of them getting HIV.

At the end of that, you then tally up your groups and see if you see a substantial difference in who is now HIV positive.

I can't imagine how much it sucks to be involved in the planning of those experiments. Someone, somewhere, talks to every single one of the people involved knowing full well what might happen.

My 1911, 3br/1ba in-city Spokane house cost me about $90K in 2003, currently appraised+taxed at around $300K as you say. I've no idea how ordinary people [that is, those w/o high incomes and/or high levels of wealth], and especially renters, are getting by. From what I read in it the local forums and see at the food bank every week, a lot aren't getting by.

Yeah, no. Lived in Cleveland for several years, moved overseas to Taiwan and never looked back. I could do a quick canvassing of a dozen of my friends on the top 10 desirable states to live in and Ohio wouldn't even appear a single time.
I've found "At your own discretion" jobs are great. The downside is they can be hard for a company to justify unless the space is being used for other means than just "the occasional office space". I'm "100% remote" but can head in to our main office (just under 2 hours away) any time and if it's a multi-day engagement there is a hotel across the street. Far enough away that I never feel like I have to come in for anything but close enough that if something is better done in person/a fun event I can go there without coordinating flights and a rental or driving all day.

My last job had a similar structure but the office was ~15 minutes away so it was harder to push back on some "well let's just all work on this here together for the next 3 weeks since we're local" type asks and didn't work out as well. I don't mind collaborating but after years of not being used to coming in every day coming in is honestly not much better to me than the idea of "my job requires me to fly out for weeks at a time" type travel (which I've also done before).
> There's no space for comments.

For every non-trivial regex I write, I comment it heavily. I just put it together using string concatenation, like:

var r = "/[...]" + // comment goes here
"..." + // another comment
"(" +
"..." // yet another comment
"|..." // and another

and so on. Works like a charm, and I make sure to indent on the parentheses as well.

Also in the past when a regex has various parts repeated, I'll define regex "parts" as variables, and then use those.

You can make regexes as clear as you like.

That's very meaningful to hear -- thank you!

Part of what we wanted to create with both "On the Metal" and especially with "Friends of Oxide" is something that we (Adam and I) both really appreciated as younger engineers: hanging around the (metaphorical) campfire, absorbing the wisdom of more senior engineers through their lived stories. On the one hand, we have lost a bit of that in that we (broadly) aren't in person, and as a result we don't break bread as much as we used to with the team. But on the other, social audio offers us an even better path: the campfire is not only accessible and open, but recorded -- the tales and wisdom can be absorbed beyond earshot. This was something I was uncertain about when we started, but I have now heard from so many younger engineers for whom "Oxide and Friends" has been meaningful that I can now say it with confidence: social audio is an essential vector for engineering oral tradition -- would that more teams partook!

Do you have any reproducible test results showing that or are you just asserting tribal loyalty? I jest, we all know the answer.

You might want to read up on how iOS and Android differ in key ways: native code versus JIT, garbage collection versus ARC, and all of the system level differences for how many things can run in the background as well as quickly apps can save and restore state - faster CPUs and SSDs allows iOS to be more aggressive there, too, and developers can tune more aggressively because they have fewer, more consistent configurations to support.

Also consider it from the perspective of the engineering trade offs that the manufacturers make. More RAM means lower battery life and a higher price, and consumers are also sensitive to both of those. Apple controls their stack so tightly that they designed a custom SoC and market-leading CPU, and they measure the user experience very closely since that’s a lot of what they’re selling — if there really was a gap, adding more RAM would be one of the easiest ways to close it. Similarly, Samsung wouldn’t make every phone they make have lower battery life and cost more if that only benefited a small percentage of users. They’re making different choices because they have different systems but both of them watch this stuff closely.
