It definitely can do this, though obviously it can details wrong here and there. For example:

Describe what this code does in clear english:

from datetime import datetime
import pytz

utcmoment_naive = datetime.utcnow()
utcmoment = utcmoment_naive.replace(tzinfo=pytz.utc)

# print "utcmoment_naive: {0}".format(utcmoment_naive) # python 2
print("utcmoment_naive: {0}".format(utcmoment_naive))
print("utcmoment: {0}".format(utcmoment))

localFormat = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"

timezones = ['America/Los_Angeles', 'Europe/Madrid', 'America/Puerto_Rico']

for tz in timezones:
localDatetime = utcmoment.astimezone(pytz.timezone(tz))
print(localDatetime.strftime(localFormat))

ChatGPT Response:

This Python code does the following:

1. Imports two modules, datetime and pytz.
2. Gets the current time in UTC using the datetime module and assigns it to a variable named 'utcmoment_naive'.
3. Uses the pytz module to create a timezone-aware datetime object and assigns it to a variable named 'utcmoment'.
4. Prints the values of the 'utcmoment_naive' and 'utcmoment' variables.
5. Defines a date format to be used for printing local date and time.
6. Defines a list of three timezones.
7. Loops over the list of timezones and converts the UTC time to the local time in each timezone using the 'astimezone' method of the 'datetime' object and the 'pytz.timezone' method.
8. Prints the local time in each timezone in the specified date format.

Overall, this code gets the current time in UTC, converts it to the local time in three different timezones, and prints the local time in each timezone in a specified format.
Buying inverse funds is a bad idea. They suffer from exponential decay over long time periods.

Consider that the 1x (non-inverse fund) goes up 10% in a day. At the same time the inverse fund, which tracks it, falls 10%. Now consider the following day that the 1x fund falls 9%, to its original price. Consequently, the inverse fund goes back up 9%, but it's about 2% lower than its starting position. So you still lose money even though the original 1x fund is unchanged.

The better strategy is to buy puts or short the non-inverse, 1x version.

I suppose every way of understanding (even a scientific law) is just a model for how things might work. Some of these models (Newton's laws of motion) are more useful than others but are obviously still fallible (Relativity being a correction to Newton's laws). I'm not sure how useful of a model animism is but maybe it's reasonable to keep it in mind for some edge cases? Even if it is just emotionally satisfying, I guess that's kind of an edge case.
Couldn’t agree more. Having full sized and fully speced dev and test DBs is wasteful and not realistic across several independent teams.

Monitoring prod closely and understanding what could constitute a costly workload/query which would in turn require a temporary test env with similar sized dataset is the correct approach.

The whole point of H-B11 fusion research is finding ways around the naive interaction dynamics in order to take advantage of superior aspects.

Table layouts are still superior to CSS in that they achieve the Holy Grail layout. As far as I'm aware, CSS still fails to achieve the Holy Grail within any reasonable realm of effort.

Hell, the entire reason the internet moved from Holy Grail layouts to singular sidebar and vertically integrated layouts was because CSS can't into Holy Grail.

With how wide most users' monitors are ever since 16:9 became commonplace, Holy Grail should be the ideal content presentation layout because it uses all that free space on the sides for non-content (eg: navigation) so precious vertical real estate can be dedicated to content.
Wait, what?

You're saying "you shouldn't have to study for an interview because you either have the experience or you don't" and then you're equating being able to answer a trivia question with experience.

The irony is extremely rich. Being able to answer any particular question cannot measure if someone has the requisite experience. The only thing it tells you is that they can answer that question.

Your judgement of them based on your question is extremely subjective and doesn't tell you whether they "REALLY know the subject" or not. You are just testing your own biases which may yield good results, but call a spade a spade.

> When I do interviews I make sure the candidate is aware that studying will be a pointless endeavor and if I can tell your answers come from one of the interview prep books I'll end the interview early. My interviews ask questions that will tell me if you REALLY know the subject. For example if JavaScript is a requirement I'll throw this at you

How can you tell if someone had simply memorized a few pieces of JS trivia and is regurgitating it to answer your question? The code is not that complex or "totally weird".

> Apple SPECIFICALLY does not open up iMessage to non-Apple platforms because they want you to buy their phones- something they share a duopoly with. That is the very DEFINITION of market abuse.

I don't think that's the definition of market abuse at all. Apple created a device and bundled a free "good enough" messaging service with it. If you want to use something else, there's nothing stopping you beyond inertia. Apple clearly isn't going out of it's way to hinder adoption of alternative messaging services.

No one is going to starve if children cannot pick strawberries.

The necessity here is for cheap food prices, which are politically popular. We care about child labor (and minimum wages), but only so much, so we exempt certain businesses. The fact that a lot of these agricultural jobs are done by minorities is also relevant.

Your point is good, but in making it, you sound like an adversarial interviewer.

You and OP are actually agreeing with "the correct answer is it depends and now let's discuss context". This echoes my experience as interviewer too. It's a red flag when the candidate responds with "the correct answer". That's what OP is calling out.

I'm replying here because I get the impression you're looking for "the right answer" as you see it: "the first step is to mitigate then do root cause". You're right! But it also could be too adversarial.
> We get “defund the police”, rather than “fire the bottom 10% of cops”.

Even if there was an objective way to measure the bottom 10% of cops that wasn’t subject to the same structural/institutional biases that are the main problem that “defund” is about, that would be a temporary solution that wouldn’t address the fundamental problems.

As it is, the structural problems means that any “Fire the bottom 10%” initiative in practice would reinforce, rather than mitigate, the problems, since the structural biases would factor into the evaluation.

In my experience quite a few managers are there to do cargo cult activities mostly involving power point presentations and planning for their managers. In the worst situation it seemed like the vast majority of effort and salary spend went towards satisfying the VP’s appetite for reporting when engineers were very understaffed they focused on expanding to new layers of management instead of hiring ICs.

some of this management can be useful but often a lot of it is not, at best. As organizations age companies become mostly about advancing careers of middle management and the things the company actually does become secondary.

> it is the progenitor of the most popular, and reviled program paradigm, Object Oriented Programming. Designed by Ole-Johan Dahl, and Kristen Nygaard in 1962 at the Norwegian Computing Center in Oslo

What the author writes in the first sentence only applies to Simula 67, which indeed was the first general purpose object-oriented programming language; Simula I instead was quite different, not yet object-oriented, and dedicated to simulation.

> Then, in 1991 another language would enter the playing field, Java, and the rest is history.

Java actually used the object model of Simula 67; James Gosling gave a talk about it at the 50th anniversary in Oslo. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccRtIdlTqlU

Having been both, being a really good manager is hard in a very different set of ways.

Depending what itch you're trying to scratch, and what opportunities are available in your org, it might be just as rewarding to be a tech lead, feature lead, mentor, cross-team liaison, steering committee member, or possibly other roles rather than team lead / manager.
Yeah this statement by the OP: "It was a war where one side had slave states and the other side was the confederacy" only gets away with not being an outright lie by stretching the English language into ways that wouldn't be parsed by most people.

There were some slave states that remained in the Union. All Confederacy states were slave states.
I am not sure about that. On my system that openssl invocation fails because the site doesn't staple the intermediate Letsencrypt R3 certificate, and openssl doesn't retrieve it while browsers do.

Oh man so trivially incorrect. Plenty of people had smartphones before that despite the iPhone. What happened in 2010 was social media getting hit by politics and marketing. This isn't even up for debate. It's straight facts.

On a similar note, I know >3 individuals with successful businesses, think small construction shop or solo professional suite. They make good money, but everyone I've talked to doesn't have an IRA/401K or anything stashed, its all in their business. They have lots of cashflow, but are an injury, change in business climate away from ruin. Many don't have plans for hitting 60+ when they can't work anymore to keep the business going. They likely assume they will sell their business, but lately the valuations on these small time shops has been very low and many "boomer" businesses are having a hard time finding people interested in purchasing. Think mom/pop grocery store, ice cream shop, stationary store, etc. They own their home most likely, but thats all gonna get sucked in end of life care...

React itself go through lots of transitions like, class-components to functional to hooks. Svelte is in early stage, so I am sure there will be changes in svelte as well. And I don't care about performance that much because Browsers and devices always getting better. But Having said that, React's DOM thing always add constraints, like you can only use react supported ui-lib because everything should be in react's tree. Pure HTML and web-components library is very hard to handle with react.

My own observation is that it's more important for managers to be well-organized, remember details, and keep track of things

Not sure if that's what you mean by soft skills, but I generally think of soft skills as things like ability to communicate well, navigate conflict, and apply emotional intelligence to people management

The "soft skills" as I understand them are more important for roles like team lead/staff, whereas the organizational skills (and maybe even a willingness to be unlikeable at times) are more important for management.

That's why I think a lot of engineers prefer the IC track (I personally think my organizational skills and focus don't qualify me for management, although I enjoy being a lead)
