How would you approach the prompt?
I had a "reverse" system design interview at Amazon back in the 2000s. Possibly before the modern "forward" system design interview became so popular.

I also remember circa 2012-2014 being required to conduct what are now considered typical modern system design interviews (i.e. as an interviewer) while employed at Amazon, and 90% of (even senior) candidates had no idea how to even begin to approach the "design a system to do X"-type questions. I think this is partly because far fewer people in typical software jobs were building distributed systems back then anyway, and partly because all the YouTube videos and guides like yours didn't exist yet, so nobody was doing the kind of dedicated prep and rote-learning that seems increasingly expected nowadays.

Back then, when the problem was too far from the candidate's real work experience, and they weren't willing to make educated guesses and ask clarifying questions in order to move forward, it was often a struggle (for both of us) to pivot the interview towards something the candidate could tackle and demonstrate their design experience. ("Tell me about a system you designed", i.e. the "reverse" approach, wasn't an acceptable alternative in our rubric.)

Now, just like what happened with coding interviews vs. Leetcode, it seems that a more common challenge for the interviewer is telling the difference between a candidate who is applying real experience and understanding vs. regurgitating/performing what they read in a system design interview prep guide. But that's assuming one is actually more valuable than the other, and I don't have proof of that.
Interesting, I always thought those complaints usually go to unanswered email inbox, but if people actually answer these, I may try writing to these governmental agencies sites and apps.
Ironically, this reply is about as useful as if chatGPT wrote it:

- there’s no cited facts

- it boldly proclaims its conclusion

- which you’d only be able to verify as an expert

…so I’m having trouble understanding what you’re complaining about with chatGPT, when that seems to be the standard for discourse.

The ill effects of poor housing policy are deep and insidious

Gentrification, and backlash against it is the most obvious societal outcome of failing to keep prices under control. But it goes further

House prices drive out low income workers(gentrification). Loss of lower income families in turn raises the cost of doing business for any business that deals with unskilled or otherwise cheap labor. In turn these businesses must raise prices, which feeds back into housing prices among just about all other industries.

Meanwhile, poor citizens learn to hate new condo buildings, gnash their teeth at the Starbucks that opened in their neighborhood, and fantasize about shooting guns at nothing in the night to keep the yuppies from moving in. After all, having wealthy neighbors is demonstrably destructive to your way of life.

In fact, having an improved standard of living, can be seen as destructive. After all, if they clean up the local park and add universal pre-K, does that mean the yuppies will move in and drive up rents? These things would be obvious community wins outside the lens of housing prices.

Under the specter of housing as investment, it is in the rational interest of all renters to make their city as least attractive and unpleasant as possible to live in as possible, with as few high paying jobs and businesses, except for ideally one good job for the renter themself.

On the flip side, for homeowners, housing-as-investment incentivizes the kind of exclusivity you might otherwise only find with diehard bitcoiners. Ideally housing production should be 0 or negative. Construction and development is no longer viewed in the lens of whether it is good for the city, nor good for the people involved, but if it is good for my personal investment.

And thus, at a societal level, we have built for the young a culture of loathing wealthy companies that bring high paying jobs and the yuppies who work those job; and for the old, a culture of loathing any change, any construction or development at all, that might interfere with the life built through homeownership

We are truly not in it together, and have not been since exclusive zoning became the norm
Promoting Gitlab was the biggest mistake I made. Every team I promoted them to has been bitten time and again by their licensing, feature, and pricing changes.

Many other services I've promoted have also seen price changes, etc. but I've never felt genuinely frustrated with the changes in any of those like I have with Gitlab.
France has its own payment network, CB (previously Carte Bleu). Payment cards emitted by French banks are usually both CB and Visa, which allows French banks to route payments through CB rather than Visa. This could probably be done by other groups, national or otherwise, with little effect on users.

Not trying to excuse the behavior but from what I've heard talking to other SaaS vendors... self-hosted is often priced similarly to the SaaS offering because even though the hosting costs are paid by the customer the support costs are often much higher.

Ha! That voice for 'common-sense' you dearly miss voted itself out.
I will do that, thank you for the suggestion.
A common protocol doesn't prevent progress or evolution. Look how far browsers have come over the past 20 years, all while working off common HTML, CSS, and JS specs. Would the world be a better place if there were the Apple internet, and the Google internet, instead of a common one?

If there's a vested interest in making something better, it gets better. Walled gardens for basic messaging communication has 0 societal benefit, and there's effectively no downside to adopting a common protocol. Societies are now demanding that obvious problems with easy solutions be solved, and thus the various governments will.

Perhaps some think that the internet would've been better as a series of distributed walled gardens under various single private entities... I can't contend with people who hold that belief. Having easy and common ways to interact with the rest of humanity that anybody can participate in freely seems a far better outcome.

Unfortunately far too many Apple zombies out there that will contort obvious logic to defend them at every opportunity. The distortion field is really something to behold
They probably had formal addresses but used informal directions. They do this in my grandmother's small town. No one will give you an actual address despite having one.

Can someone explain to me why it jumped *that much*?
Well they actually do both, they charge by volume and percentage.

There is absolutely logic in pricing in terms of setting a pricing floor, which often comes from a combination of fixed and variable costs.

Of course you are right that there is flexibility above that, but again there's absolutely logic there as well in terms of price discrimination mechanisms.

None of this is just arbitrary. These companies put a lot of thought, and logic, into their pricing mechanisms. Get it exactly right and you make a lot of money, get it a little bit wrong and you go out of business.
Short WSB is a difficult fund to put together. The meme stocks are often very expensive to borrow (partly because lots of other people are in the same trade).

The best way to run a short ETF (on something where no futures market exists) is to also manage the long version of the fund and cap interest in the short fund to be less than or equal to the long. If it's a serious investment it's likely the long fund naturally has more interest anyway.

"...if a worker's religious belief prohibits handling of pork, they would be exempt from being assigned to food warming and won't be discriminated against."

Perhaps they just shouldn't be working at a restaurant that serves pork? What a ridiculous idea. I'm going to found a religion in which the main belief is that I should not be required to type on a keyboard. As someone working in tech who uses a keyboard non-stop, this is not my problem. Rather, my employer should be obligated to offload that work onto others and only assign me work that does not require the use of a keyboard.
I'm pretty sure that's just as long as both of them have existed concurrently...
Since Cramer has a large audience, his picks function as a magnet that aligns the beliefs of some subset of that audience. If the effect is large enough, then trading against that effect can be worthwhile. It's exploiting the same alignment effect as companies that buy order flow from retail investor apps. Retail investors typically do not generally buy large amounts of a single stock over time to get the best price. By buying Robinhood's order flow, Citadel can trade against a counterparty whose behavior is generally known.

The theory behind exploiting the gradient created by alignments caused by factors other than fundamental business performance is better than random.
Nor is it only incorrect one billionth of the time, as you seem to be indicating through your hypotheticals. Depending on what I've asked it about, it can be incorrect at an extremely high rate.
In order of effectiveness:

1. Buy and hold broad index funds

2. Throw darts at a board to pick individual stocks

3. Be knowledgeable, do your own research, read financial reports, custom build a portfolio

4. Listen to expert advice (Cramer, anti-Cramer and everything else)
No, that wasn't my intention. But it's a mind/attitude altering trait, that did cause many problems, and we haven't managed to simply overcome it.

The problem with ”slave” (as an example) for me is, how do we know this is actually a problem for enslaved people? How do we know this isn’t just a ”white man burden” thing? Yes, it makes sense, but just because something makes sense doesn’t mean it’s inherently good or applicable. Lots of things make sense from a theoretical, conceptual perspective, but are not feasible in practice.

It seems to me that enslaved people have much bigger problems than to worry about this, and if they don’t anymore, then the wording doesn’t matter. They are either ”former slaves”, which emphasizes the severity of the situation they were put through, or they are still slaves, which again——emphasis. I could argue that the new wording diminishes the seriousness of the predicament (but I won’t as I don’t believe that, given the horrors of slavery, the word matters at all here).
> It has issues when there's an IPv6 address up (even link-local) but no egress v6 routing.

I have multiple FreeBSD machines, all of them with IPv6 up on link-local, and pkg doesn't hang at all. Even without valid globally unique IPv6 addressing, but valid ULA addressing (unique local address) and valid routing for IPv6 on an internal network, no issues.

It sounds like you've got some globally unique IPv6 addresses assigned to an interface somewhere and address selection (and thus the addresses returned from getaddrinfo) will return IPv6 first and try that before falling back to IPv4.

You can configure this address selection by using the ip6addrctl tool which will allow you to validate and change that address selection.

It is based upon https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3484

FreeBSD also has predefined policies you can set in /etc/rc.conf:

ip6addrctl_enable="YES" # Set to YES to enable default address selection
ip6addrctl_verbose="NO" # Set to YES to enable verbose configuration messages
ip6addrctl_policy="AUTO" # A pre-defined address selection policy
# (ipv4_prefer, ipv6_prefer, or AUTO)
I mentioned this in the other thread, but the excuse vendors often use for not offering a self-hosting discount is that their support costs are often much higher for self-hosted customers. I've never been provided direct evidence of this, but that's what they say.
I think that one is pretty straightforward: homogeneity. I grew up in a much more rural area than I live in now, and you just don't get your perspectives and views challenged very much (unless you happen to be outside the norm, in which case your life can be extremely difficult).
dunno why the site has a self-signed cert but it's clear that the majority of the world's production computing is done with unikernels, so the claim is false (or just opinion). Bryan's a smart guy but ... empirical observations matter.

> I'm fluent in Spanish and have a hard time seeing a native Spanish speaker inventing LatinX. There's no good Spanish way to pronounce

There's no good English wsy to pronounce it either. Its a deliberate linguistic transgression. (Aesthetically, its why I personally like Latine better for the specific purpose of explicit inclusion of non-binary identities, but, being neither Latin nor non-binary, I don't weight my aesthetic preferences heavily on the issue.)

EDIT: Really, the problem of how to identify a group in a way inclusive of a subgroup to whose existence the broader group is at best, as s whole, ambivalent is the real issue, and the origin stories, and more to the point the attempt to impute malign motives based on particular origin stories, is a way to avoid reaching the issue.
It's interesting to me that Hacker News's impression of this change is basically:

> Gitlab has switched into the "squeeze money from customers phase". It is time to leave.

...while the stock market's impression of this change is "wow this company is worth an extra 20% now".

KDE has a built in chat client that seems to do the job most of the time. What's severely lacking there is client support.

Because of it libraries for all kinds of services exist already. KDE Telepathy sounds pretty close to what you're describing (native (Linux) controls, multi window, no touch screen design, plenty of different protocols).

With the KDE project slowly seeming to move towards Matrix rather than XMPP I wonder how long Telepathy will stick around. It can still be a pretty good start for your own chat application, though, as large portions of the work have already been done for you.

An alternative approach I've seen people take is what I'm doing myself: Matrix/XMPP combined with various bridges. That way the chat client only needs to speak one specific protocol. It has its downsides but it does save you from having to develop abstractions over abstractions. You also get multi device support for free without having to scan tons of QR codes if you need to reinstall your client for whatever reason.
Out of curiosity, more or less offensive than referring to you as Latina?
This article does not use the word 'genuine' (or 'real', for that matter, though I have not searched for other synonyms.) In fact, my comment was prompted by the way that the definitions given here seem to avoid implying that those exhibiting this need are sticklers for the truth. It seems likely that they all think they are getting closer to the truth, and this would seem more pertinent, in defining a personality trait, than whether they actually succeed in doing so.
Maybe I missed it but I was hoping this would have a link to a git repo with all the domains used to send data back to China. I assume they must use some obscure names. I log all the queries for my household.

Glad you agree! I also think that's how things should run.

Now go ask the bank for a credit line to do this and you will understand why the privatisation of money creation impedes worker-owned co-ops (or any ownership structure other than the standard capitalist one).

I think we will see engineering innovation in the AI/ML space as new processors are developed. We may get more interesting software as well. One problem is that academics need million dollar compute budgets at the moment to even get close to the output of Google/OpenAI/FAIR. Hopefully the DOD, DOE, NSF and NIH and ultimately Congress will act.
> Because there's absolutely no downside to telling Apple it can't artificially make its iMessage platform restricted to Apple devices.

I would assume one downside is a higher amount of spam. Currently you need to have an Apple device to send an iMessage. So sending spam is an expensive proposition.

The problem is defining "water".

The 7 in pH 7 meaning neutral comes from 1 in 1e7 molecules of water having broken apart and ionized at any given instant. Like the Taylor Swift song says, they're never ever getting back together. Ever. So the average lifespan of a rando H-O-H thrupple in plain old tap water is about half a day. So by the definition of "hydrogen atom with UUID X" in a monogamous bond with "oxy atom with UUID Y" in a monogamous bond with "another hydrogen atom with UUID Z" that relationship on average lasts about half a day before getting stirred up into a new relationship. In that sense, most water is less than a day old.

The article is defining age of water as in how long it was sealed off from the rest of the ecosystem. In that sense I have a bottle of Crown Royale containing about 60% water in my basement that's been sealed off from the environment, theoretically, for 18 years before it hit the liquor store shelf, or so the marketing claims. Actually a little longer now that it's chilling in my basement. These folks found some water that's been sealed off for a billion years.

So there's decent arguments for both that "a bucket has been sealed for a billion years" vs "this particular organization of atoms has existed substantially less than one day"

There are some really good findings about TikTok APK used in many apps. In addition I agree that better privacy laws that would affect all companies, even US ones, would be the ideal.

The statement that this ban won't help is completely wrong though. Passing universal privacy laws will take years, if ever. Banning TikTok has bipartisan appeal. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Tiktok can still influence people through the feed and collect even more data through the app itself.

Obviously we should work towards a privacy law around this, but this is a reasonable first step to address the most dangerous actor.

>We caution candidates that if we dig in and we run into something blocked by the NDA it creates challenges with our evaluation.

So you're penalizing those under NDA and unecessarily limiting your candidate pool.
> Just saying, I'm not sure auto semver with lockfiles is really a win over just locking to begin with.

It's still a win even if you consider only patch version updates. Without that, for a CVE in a dependency, every dependent package will have to update, and will first have to wait for the lower level to update and publish a new version. So for a dependency ~4 layers deep, with coordination and publishing lag in between, this can quickly take more than a week (and this is assuming responsive maintainers).

Right, this is not a new phenomenon. Whether it's meaningful to pin it on human nature, I'm not sure; we consider ourselves unique as a species largely for our ability to recursively adapt the environment to ourselves, and then ourselves to the new state of affairs, and so on. We do generally prefer to think we're smart and good and well-informed and justified in our decisions, no doubt. We also usually prefer to keep what we have, which could be taken to support the traditional Marxist line.

All I'm saying is in an attention economy, one does well to reflect and ask who benefits from one's beliefs and their mode of expression. Substitute money for power, reputation, or any scarce social resource, and I think the analysis still tends to work, whether or not it echoes Marx.
