Why not skill at writing 8-legged essays[0] instead? Either way, you're so far away from anything that maps directly on to "is this person likely to succeed as an X level software engineer at Y company" that it's all pretty arbitrary.

Not to mention, you'd have to have a precise and well defined notion of what "analytical hobbies" are. Preferably one that doesn't carry an inherent classist[1] (and maybe even racist or sexist) bias. That part alone seems pretty tough, forget the actual definition part.

I bet Apple Subscriptions is a popular product and makes them tons of money. Yet their admin UX is just as poor, I got instantly tiggered by your description.
Recessions usually follow at least 6 months after the Fed hits their terminal rate.

The lag is also easy to understand since interest rates don't immediately hit businesses borrowing cheap money short, until their loans rollover and readjust on a roughly 1-2 year schedule. The economy can also absorb the first waves of those failures and it just takes awhile for the volume to build up.
A banking app needs to be universal because of how essential it is to participate in society.
> My first home was about 45% of my income. 15 years later (I rent it out now) it’s absurdly affordable for the area

To be fair, this also occurred with variable rate mortgages (I'm in Canada, so we don't have the long term fixed rate mortgages you get in the US anyways). But in a condo with variable mortgage + counting the building maintenance fee's, I'm paying something like 30% of what it would take to make the same purchase today at last known prices and current interest rates.

In my case, this is more related to an average of 20% appreciation YoY since I bought it, and never having to increase my payments. And this is for a condo in a high rise building... not many folks preferred place to live.
Until the early 2000s, consistency between applications used to be a top priority in UI design. There were decades of serious usability research underpinning the Windows and Mac interfaces, and the APIs were finally getting to the point where you could spin up a standard UI with useful controls and trust that it follows platform guidelines, inherits accessibility features, etc.

Then came the double punch of web and mobile. All the hard-won lessons of desktop consistency were thrown out of the window. Many UI designers used to have a background in psychology and cognitive science; they were replaced by graphic design graduates whose primary concern was picking custom fonts and drawing pop-up menu buttons that look nothing like the OS standard component.

A lot of managers got “design thinking” religion and drew exactly the wrong lessons. They started believing design leadership is a fourth-grade Steve Jobs imitation: wear a turtleneck, bark opinions in meetings, and make sure their product UI is a completely custom thing with lots of blank space, no useful information density, and controls that look like plain text.

There’s no going back. Apple could have made a difference by enforcing iOS UI guidelines more strongly in the early days of the platform, but that opportunity was lost. The web remains beyond hope as even the most basic UI components are constantly reinvented by graphic designers wielding Figma because the browser is a useless UI platform.
It’s a big leap from “I can imagine someone” to “this demonstrates a meaningful financial incentive that colors the content”
Cities can solve this problem through zoning.

Sedona does it well. Every HOA gets to decide if they are a tourist neighborhood or not. Short term rentals are either allowed or banned and you know that going in.

There are many homes in tourist towns that are designed to be vacation homes. Sometimes they are 5+ bedrooms, or are located inside a resort area. Families don’t want to live in those homes and they’re not conducive to long term rentals either.

Tourism zoning allows those homes to not sit empty and be taxed appropriately, while keeping short term rentals away from residential zoning areas likes parks, schools, etc.

Instead you have cities passing dozens or hundreds of pages of regulations that makes no one happy. It’s led to lots of lawsuits, complicated enforcement and more bureaucracy.

Simple is better. Another option is to allow anyone to rent, but cap it at 30-60 nights per year, or only during peak tourism months. It‘s enough income to supplement a homeowner’s mortgage, but not enough to make it a profitable investment opportunity.
What you are saying is that the opinion of the most informed about a topic does not matter because ignorance rules.

The analogy is if all doctors were warning about the risks of smoking in their journals but because smokers dont read them and dont see the "upside" of quiting its not going to happen.
Backing up 100+ gigs of data to Backblaze B2 is PAINFULLY slow. I tried to back up a few terabytes and gave up after a few gigabytes because it was so extremely throttled (paid plan) that a backup would have taken weeks or months to complete. (I have gigabit fiber optic service).
MFC if doing C++ (really, still better than C++/WinRT after being released in 2016), otherwise Forms/WPF.

Naturally WPF seems to be on a hard time, so that leave us with Forms, or go with third party libraries like Avalonia and Uno, that rely on Win32.

UWP is deprecated, while WinUI 3.0 is years away to reach feature parity with it.

Regarding C++, if MFC isn't your cup of tea given its age, then either Qt or VCL/FireMonkey.

> All else being equal, we would expect 50% of homes to be unaffordable to a median buyer.

Sounded reasonable on first and second reading. But now I question why. Would 50% of avocados be unaffordable to the median buyer? Would 50% of private jets?
Each of these articles are saying different things, so either you didn't actually bother to skim them or you're grossly generalizing anything related to covid in the citations.

E.g. #11

>The most high-profile instance came when Twitter permanently suspended the account of Zero Hedge, a far-right site that purports to share finance and economic information, for circulating a theory blaming one Chinese scientist, without evidence, for creating COVID-19.

Is not the same as 'covid leaked from a lab.'
Sublime Text and QGis are both written in C++ and extensible in python.

Did they? I remember hearing about a research they did and it wasn't so clear cut to its advantages as a "job success predictor"
I think the best "real" interest rate we have is the current interest rate minus inflation expectations. Central banks try to influence credit demand, and the real cost of credit is the current interest rate minus the inflation rate over some future period.

I disagree, most apps are designed for the lowest common denominator, though they do a poor job of that.

Power users want settings and customizability to make their flows better, but those are not "beautiful" or are "distractions". See: the decline of evernote.
> What does the actual performance look like?

Hard to say, production hardware isn’t out yet. Anyways, I think you misunderstand my point, CHERI is definitely designed for running C/C++ code but obviously people will want to run Rust on it. In that scenario capabilities are “free” because they exist by default (just like MMUs give you protection for no cost because they’re always on for modern OSes), so Rust can work with it.

> If it helps WUFFS can emit high performance C number crunching code that is definitely bounds safe

WUFFS is cool but it’s not really meant for general-purpose code.

> Until Rust the main consumers of optimising compilers which heavily rely on provenance shenanigans were C and C++ and in both languages you could just scare off the repeated bug reports resulting from such shenanigans by pointing at DR/260 in which WG14 basically says "Yes pointer provenance is a thing" but declines to specify how it could possibly work and leaves it to compilers to do whatever they want.

I think this lacks context. The compilers of yesteryear and even mostly the compilers of today can’t do much with provenance, because doing optimizations on it often requires global program analysis that is infeasible to perform. The examples that people knew were problematic were almost all centered around surprising compilation results in small snippets showing things like “off the end” pointers having the same bit pattern as the address of the stack object next to it, but comparing different. The responses to bug reports like these was not that provenance was broken but mostly “the standard doesn’t really want you doing stuff like this anyways, so go away”.

The actual legitimate use of provenance mostly did work, which was stuff like pointer tagging and stuffing (requiring round trips through various integer representations) for language runtimes and the like. Authors of that code typically worked really close to the hardware to questions like “does this pointer have provenance” doesn’t really mean much to them, they’d expect that it compiled to a load instruction like they expected and for the most part compilers would play it conservative and assign arbitrary provenance to operations like that. The exploration of “hmm, maybe we should specify this better” is a recent phenomenon that was done mostly independently of Rust the language but obviously a lot of those people were involved because the compiler/LLVM community is comprised of Rust people too.
> Whats wrong with the C apis, did microsoft remove them?

Depends on how much you love COM, after Longhorn's debacle, all newer APIs tend to be based on COM.

Using it from C++ or .NET, despite its warts is kind of OK, doing it from C, better be persistent.
Numeric error codes are useful for troubleshooting, e.g. you can google “<program> error <code>”, or its developer can find where or around what exactly it’s localized.

The “something happened” part usually comes from a generic error handler that reports surprising errors. E.g. your current graphics card driver messes with directx internals in a way that the game couldn’t foresee this sort of exception in that code path. So here you go, “unknown error 0x8000abcd”. Google it -> update your driver.
I think there's two points here. 1) the myth that spinach is a significantly better source of iron than other iron-rich vegatables, and 2) the myth that it came from misreading a decimal point.

I meant #1.

Certainly myth #2 still exists in the 21st century. DDG easily finds recent examples, like https://hekint.org/2022/07/18/spinach-the-great-myth/ .
We can’t put rentals completely out of business. Buying doesn’t make sense for every person who needs housing.
> Now that you tell me, it seems that Fedora has no official compatibility list. But
> Ubuntu has it. Isn’t that a Fedora problem?

I dunno, I just didnt know how you came to the conclusion that it was officially supported or on any list, when I have never seen any list.

Should fedora do a 'hardware compatability 'list', would it change developer behavior, I doubt it.;
XAML isn't the problem, in fact the CSS grid model even came from there.

The problem is management mess and product reboots without any kind of compatibilyt beyond, please rewrite it, this is not the "Developers, Developers, Developers" that we got used to.
It was much more common to run games at a lower resolution than regular desktop, though. Even as 1024x768 became the norm for desktop, mostly, the crazy iteration rates on 3D hardware meant that most people who couldn't afford a new card every year would stick to 640x480 for the more recent 3D games.

It seems that higher refresh rate screens make this game significantly harder..
That's interesting! When I started out I maybe felt the same but most of that was just not understanding it, and now to me it feels like one of the more explicit frameworks I've used, which I actually enjoy.

I could recommend reading http://www.petecorey.com/blog/2019/05/20/minimum-viable-phoe... which was posted on HN as well some years ago.
The problem with ignoring hotel regulations and renting out residential units is the existing tax, zoning, and building codes don't account for AirBnB. It should be ruinously expensive in tax terms to rent out a residential unit full time. Those units should be used to house people, not to literally extract rent. Residents should have a choice to say what they want to be surrounded by.
Unsolicited email (spam) is spam.

But it isn't, because the reduction in credit score from the query doesn't necessarily prohibit two simultaneous loans, it just makes the terms worse (and so makes default more likely).

And there are obviously better ways to prevent "double spend," like reporting the new loan being granted, which actually should reduce the credit score due to the new debt. It's not as if we can't make computers capable of updating this information in real time.
So is spinach a good source of iron or not? I mean when taking the whole absorption thing into the account too. Sorry, I'm in a hurry and I have no time to read the article carefully and I must contact my mom.
We’ve had unaffordable housing in the U.K. for a generation and haven’t built because of nimbys.

Housing costs thus increase to suck all income.

It’s a great way to return to feudalism.
It’s not even that AirBNB is often cheaper, but personally it’s more enjoyable to experience a place like a local and not through yet another cookie-cutter hotel in a downtown business district. Staying in a hotel is like traveling to a different country and then eating at McDonalds.

Some people love that kind of thing. They want predictable, pre-arranged experiences. Personally I hate it with every fiber of my being.

Depends on neither is the same as 'you can do with either'. Just different ways to express the same answer.
Including arbitrary error codes in error messages is a good idea because it creates virtual gathering points for users searching for answers.

From a comment I’ve made about errors in the past:

“You should probably include the error code in the message (ERR0231), because that helps make the error message unique to this specific error situation and thus makes it functional as a “gathering point”. If you Google the error message and find others talking about the same error you experienced, that’s useful; if you Google the error message and find others talking about different errors on the same site, that is useless at best and could be harmful. (Concrete example: a multiplayer gaming platform reports a checksum of game files to a remote server to ensure all players are using the same version of the game. Scenario 1: The files are corrupt, the checksum is wrong, the error message is “Unable to validate game files”, the fix is to reinstall the game. Scenario 2: The user’s internet connection is temporarily degraded, the game is unable to get a response from the remote server, the error message is “Unable to validate game files”, the fix is to wait until connection improves. The unfortunate user from Scenario 2 is going to google their error message and get told to try the fix from Scenario 1. Now they’re re-downloading the game on their spotty connection.)“
How are software containers supposed to benefit from another compression? Typically the problem is image transfer to server/CI, but container images are already being transferred as compressed layers, so an additional layer of compression won't help much.

1) A lot of the things I buy are electronic, so yes, I get them immediately at point of sale.

And if that's not the case then how about asking me if I would like an email with a tracking number when it ships?

2) I have never had to show an email as proof when returning something, usually they know damn well that I bought and paid for it.

In general it seems like you are conflating all the different kinds of email as being one and the same. They are not. I specifically said I don't want receipts by default because they are just spam in the vast majority of cases. I never said anything about email verification emails or shipping emails with tracking numbers.

Edit: I just wanted to add that needing a receipt for a refund is a truly alien concept to me. I can’t even imagine how bad the consumer protection laws are where you live.

Here, even in physical stores we can just give them the card we used to buy the thing and that’s enough to process a refund.
That doesn't mean it's not testing for the right things. Pattern matching, memory, and understanding are all attributes that help be an effective software engineer.

It's also not as easy as you describe - just memorizing patterns. Maybe for the easy-medium questions that ChatGPT can solve, but Google stopped asking such questions a decade ago. The algorithm questions that all the tech companies ask today require real problem-solving.
A quick plug for this very excellent podcast on self-hosting all the things (except maybe email ;)): [0]

They always have good suggestions and point to their repos and (example) code. They explore new things and the podcast gives you an excellent idea of the quality of services. Some things I discovered through them: Paperless NGS, PhotoPrism, Tailscale, Matrix Dendrite, Hugo, Docker-compose, Traefik, NixOS) and they talk about my fav projects a lot (Nextcloud and Home Assistant), which I have been using for years now. Recently they did a nice JellyFin challenge (they were all on Plex) and I learned a lot.

I’d be quite worried if I could automate my job with chatGPT. ChatGPT will never be worse than it is now, after all, and never be less user friendly either — if I was glorified UI for chatGPT, I guess my boss would be looking into cutting out the middleman.
I had remembered that the preference was to cite the original source as much as possible (which is why the reference count for the Lowry protein assay paper is reportedly over 300k). The article linked here indirectly mentions this preference:

> The problem in this case is that I omit a piece of information: the fact that Larsson’s statement is based on an entirely different source, namely Hamblin (1981). In other words, I am referring to an article that I very well know is a secondary source, and thus hide from my readers the fact that Larsson actually just passed on information published by Hamblin 14 years earlier. A good reason for avoiding the use of secondary sources in academia is that messages that pass through several links have the unfortunate tendency to become modified or altered along the way, as in the whisper game.
I mentioned to my Dad that I was lucky to be able to buy a house for the first time just before rates went up. He told me the story of how he bought his first house in 1977 - the house I grew up in. The rate was 19%, and he was only able to get a loan because he knew a guy who knew a guy at the bank. He had masters degree and a good job, but all the banks turned him down until he found the right strings to pull.
There is a home on my block that has a permanent vacation rental sign in the front yard. I talked to the owner the other day and she literally said "this is our vacation rental". They literally only own it to rent it out. This is in a residential neighborhood in Seattle, a city with unreasonably expensive housing. I frequently use AirBnB when traveling. Only once in my life have I stayed at an AirBnB that is actually a primary residence. All the others are full time short-term rentals. AKA Hotels.
