I think it's more that the "inversion" interview story became a bit of a hot topic, and so is something people tend to reference in these discussions. Not that it's a specific problem people think is great to ask in interviews.

It also seems to neatly split people into camps who think "this is trivial, and totally reasonable to expect somebody to answer, even if it's a little contrived", vs those who think "this is not practical, and you'd only know the answer if you'd already practiced it, so it's not fair to ask".

> It eliminates competent, skilled people who don't have the time to memorize the latest cargo cult trends in hiring

But given that you already acknowledged that it's pretty trivial, why would memorization be necessary for a competant person?
It’s weird that almost every emacs or vim related post has a thread like this, filled with hate. Hard to explain it honestly. I’ve yet to see a person who would force somebody to use vim instead of whatever editor the other guy is using. Nobody is taking away the beautiful software that have come with decades of whatever. But anyway here we are.

Lua has been used a lot for that kind of embedding in the past. I think because it's easy to move data between Lua and C? Python would certainly be a big step up but I don't know how hard that kind of integration is.
Man they’re spending so much money. It’s theirs to spend and I wish them the best but I worry about their runway when they’re the only ones really releasing high quality open source models. (I really don’t want to go back to the pre 2021 ML era.)
That was the original plan, but I veered off to focus on doing one system really well. I figured if some company wanted to sponsor a port, I could do it, but otherwise I'd direct people to other compilers like LLVM-MOS. I do think it's possible to port, but it's not trivial. Some areas - like the linker - are very specifically designed for the NES.

What kind of super floppy were you using?

I remember my Z80 with TR-DOS and 5.25" floppy controller. We all dreaded that "Disk Error. Abort,Retry,Ignore?" message. That meant time to copy floppy again, and with just 48KB of RAM, there was a lot of floppy swaps to do this.
If experiences I heard from previous projects(1) (successfully) embedding cython are to go by python isn't necessary good choice for this.

The density is what's most relevant and interesting here. Pure is putting 28 of these drives in 3U - so 8.9P of nand in 3U drawing ~3kw of power. Pure gets ~2.5 data reduction on average (deep compression & dedup) and so the real world density is pretty impressive.
I really hope they didn’t also port the gil too

Do you have any examples that show that `just` is more efficient than lodash? It doesn't even have a `chunk` implementation, so it's hard to say that it's better.

The "bloat" is the result of being battle tested. A slimmer implementation would cut out edge cases that I may or may not run into. If I use Lodash, I know I'm all set.
Both seagate and WD are in late stages of developing new platforms that will double the density, with 50TB disks expected around 2025-6.

I am sure you are right. However, this does look very useful to me.

I am not a professional js developer but I do like to build dinky websites. I generally prefer not to bother with build steps or dependencies. For me it's preferable to have my own implementation of a function within the file or project I am working in. That way I can directly inspect what the function is doing, which is "more readable" to me.

Moreover, sometimes I need functionality that is similar but just a bit different from something that lodash does. This seems like a good resource to check for inspiration.

Misleading title on the site. The real result is:

"According to the results of the survey, 80% of young people aged 13 to 17 years old from 13 EU Member States would not feel comfortable being politically active or exploring their sexuality if authorities were able to monitor their digital communication, in order to look for child sexual abuse."
This is the opposite of what you think - look into 10b-5.

From my experience taking charge on Ionity for 0,79EUR/kWh means that it is more expensive than gas. And because I just moved to another country, and live in apartment, I don't have place to charge.

Thing is that there is more than 50% people in EU who has no place to charge at home, because they are living in apartments. SO they will be charging on expensive Fast DC chargers. It will be more expensive than owning an ICE and also massively less comfortable because you will be waiting on car to get charged, thus wasting your time.
They're doing threading without the GIL, which means it's not compatible with existing C extensions.

CPython is also building a -no-gil compile-time option. If that gets traction, some of the big performance-oriented C extensions like Numpy etc would likely build a non-GIL extension version too.

Then, if RustPython's non-GIL implementation is compatible with CPython's, and their C ABI is compatible, those C extensions might work.

I find this surprising. Most DNS hostname lookups do work via UDP but I would expect TCP to also be supported. Caveat emptor.
I'm not sure that supercedes the standard which HIPPA protects American worker's health information from corporate or institutional mishandling.

https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/index.ht...

Like if you or CEO you might not be able to confirm or debate and employee or (in the process of being fired) ex-employees health information. It just might be part of HIPAA that says you don't have the right to speak about that anymore.

To be clear, I haven't found this restriction in the regulations of that link I just shared but that's what I suspect given what I've seen of employer restrictions from my work history.

Update:

No I think I'm coming around to your perspective because it looks like HIPA is only applicable to health insurance providers. Not employers. Unless of course the employer is a self-funded health insurance provider, I don't know the details of twitter's health plan.

https://www.calltherightattorney.com/blog/2022/02/can-my-emp...

This link suggests that it might be an ADA violation. However Elon Musk could claim that he is revealing that the employee has a disability through Elon's reading of the employees Twitter feed which has public information about his muscular dystrophy. That's a way to weasel out of this ADA violation, potentially.

Update 2:

Ah but it looks like it's a civil rights violation:

> releasing an employee’s medical information in retaliation to that attorney opposing unlawful discrimination or harassment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that will give rise to a very good claim for damages as well.

It felt wrong, reading what Elon wrote, and it looks like, if this blog post is to be trusted, the law also agrees with that sentiment.
Sure, but the "public face" of this is stories about fentanyl in kids' candy and cops having seizures after someone tells them they were within ten meters of some fentanyl. That aspect (i.e. the bullshit) is textbook moral-panic stuff.
I have some good news for you
'f' and 'F' are different characters in ASCII, Unicode, or whatever. You have to go out of your way to make them refer to the same thing, and since casing isn't one-to-one for every character, you have to have arbitrary rules: should 'ss', 'SS', and 'ß' be treated interchangeably everywhere?
People getting small-fry otherwise legitimate Rx drugs aren't bribing the right people to let it through. And why would they, the stakes are much smaller.
People have to eat. Maslow's hierarchy of needs and all that.

Fact of the matter is Meta has problems almost no one else has. Acting like people will choose less pay and boring work over interesting work and more pay on a moral basis is a little naive. But I see you apparently have a political axe to grind. Meta is not a morally acceptable place to work I agree. However, if you were offered 350,000 USD to work on something hard like a compiler or a data pipeline designed to ingest petabytes of data I'm sure you'd at least think twice about it. For example, you could work at Meta and use the money they pay to fund organizations you support that run counter to Meta's mission. This all not even mentioning having Meta on your resume is basically a golden ticket to the industry for the rest of your career.
Those who would be able to afford purchasing a new ICE in 10 years will be able to afford purchasing a new EV in 10 years, the difference isn't significant.

Those who wouldn't be buying a new car in 10 years, won't - nobody is taking away the existing cars, they'll keep using them until they can or need a new car, and that one will be an EV.
I think measurement is probably the most important part of losing weight. Outside the obvious: wanting to actually lose weight. Are you going to measure anything else besides weight?

I would measure lots of stuff just to see multiple correlations with my weight loss. So I measured a couple body parts with tape measure (neck chest waist hips thighs), weighed myself and tracked calories pretty loosely (eyeballing within 100s of calories).

The calorie tracking is great for portion control, and the measurement creates many different ways of having little successes and progress. Your weight will bounce around a lot during the week but I found the tape measure wasn't as variable.

You kinda have to "love" being hungry. Once I had the perception change that hunger meant "drink water to fill up and help lipolysis" as opposed to "obsessively ideate over the sensation and fantasize about next meal" the pounds started melting off.

It's all self control with a clear desire to actually be skinny. Layering in exercise or fasting is just hard mode in my opinion. You can lose an enormous amount of weight just walking a couple hours a week.
You should ask your doctor. Not just a yes or no question, but have a conversation.

If your primary care physician can't address your concerns, as you've stated them here, then get a second opinion.

That said, myself and my family have taken the full course of mRNA vaccines from their earliest availability and continue to get boosters. One member of my family has a chronic illness and has also taken all the vaccines. None of us have had any side effects (beyond soreness from the injection site and maybe lethargy day of vaccination) and none of us have tested positive for COVID or been sick. That's my one data point for your collection. :-)
Is it though? Is it exceptional? There are plenty of alternatives with feature parity, and the tech like Opus for low-latency audio and overlays for video games was freely available and good in Mumble ages ago (and still good though). Discord isn't particularly lightweight or cross platform compared open options which limits accessibility.
Bah, they had to invent PtEL and PtNL to call both PDR, it seems something that should be submitted for an Improbable Research award.

The 1:1 ear/nose "golden ratio" is pure nonsense, Dr. Kendra Schmid, an assistant professor of biostatistics at the University of Nebraska, wrote an article in 2007 but (should it have any validity) it was related to attractiveness and the 1:1 ratio was listed as a neoclassical canon (PDF):

Its kind of assumed by building inspectors that 'new' (post 1970s) lacing is fire retardant. Plenum rated velcro is available but unfortunately both costs more and looks absolutely identical to the flammable stuff, so building inspectors sometimes look askance at it.
Further more, density line _always_ goes up. Of course big things will be available years in the future. This is less newsworthy than "dog bites man".

It's extra fun because not only are the registers retained, they were only extended. So you can use their 16 and 32 bit names to refer to smaller sized parts of them.
I never understood the conviction behind these silly purist initiatives lol, especially on the job, in the real world.
They'd be able to, but they won't.

I disagree. Keeping it in accommodates everyone (not just your needs). You are not forced to use it, or even bundle it. I use lodash-es w/ tree shaking as it is.
An important role of developers is knowing which tools exist and what can be used to provide value.

To use Lodash, a developer needs to know what is available there in the first place. You're taking it for granted, but everyone, you included, had to study its documentation and memorize which functions were there, even if it was only to "look it up" later.

Someone like you could have said a few years ago about Lodash: "why do I need this stupid library, I will just use for loops everywhere, like I learned in college. They get the job done and my role is to provide value, not to care about libraries or code reusability".

With this website, it's the same thing: it's there to teach you which things in Lodash aren't needed anymore and which are. Then it is up to the developer to use what's best. Not everything in the internet is prescriptive.

Blind dogmatism shouldn't have a place in our profession.
Sure, unaligned access to memory is always expensive (on architectures that allow it at all).

But I'm talking about retrieving the 9th to 16th bit of a word, which is a little different. x86 does this just fine/quickly, because bytes are addressable.
I know that in britain many people want for example more CCTV Cameras.
Why spaces and not tabs for indents?

I know this conversation has probably been had many times before. But if I prefer a 2 space tab, and you prefer a 4 space tab, we both get them how we want them with tabs.

With spaces, I have to put up with your stupidly wide indents, and try not to scratch my eyes out from the pain.
There's something to be said about swapping the glibc with musl and just hoping for the best. Maybe there's other musl oddities which will cause issues in Alpine Linux?

I think its fair to say that most Linux developers test on glibc. Now I hear of some programs using ulibc or so forth (ex: Busybox) where space / embedded is key... but that's a purposeful choice with tradeoffs.

But for a general application... is there really any reason to port off of glibc?
Why would running code in a database process be intrinsically more expensive than running it in some other process?
An even MORE useful idea is to do this in CSS.
I don't really understand, sorry. Is this a sort of Chinese Room argument? Because we can see the workings of an LLM, and all it's doing is predicting the next character (moving "slips of paper" around in Searle's original version), clearly it's not intelligent and can never be intelligent?

If so, that's not so much moving the goalposts as hiding the goalposts.
> For the most part Apple's devices and products face a pretty competitive landscape.

Not really. The point is less about market positioning and more about building fair platforms. Apple wants to frame themselves as an underdog competitor in the global economy, but they fail because they can't even build a fair or open platform when given total freedom to do so. This "failure" has made them a lot of money, but it's also come to the detriment of users everywhere, whether they know it or not. The law exists explicitly to push companies like Apple along when they get too fat and rest on their Carnegie laurels.

> The alternatives to going through the App Store are really not viable.

Someone ought to tell the Mac people this, they'll be heartbroken.

> In this one small market Apple exerts its market dominance influence to take a lot of money from 3rd party developers. Of course this is small potatoes compared to all the other markets that they compete in and even as a fraction of their revenue.

Last year Apple made more from services than they did from iPhone hardware. That's not just a "fraction" anymore.
True. But also population revolutions tell something.
The different rules for the leaders are actually stricter. The average worker gets secrecy and they can sell all at once. The leadership needs to set up a public plan and commit to it.

That's a great point. After-the-fact animations.
The only real gripe I see in here is 'Alpine uses muslc'. And the only problem they have with musl is DNS resolution over UDP.

I've written a fair amount of C over my career. And let me tell you, shipping statically compiled binaries that cal getaddrinfo with musl "Just works". That is not the case with glibc which expects to be dynamically linked.

That and reasoning about the libc source is easier to do with musl as well.

one of the key things to do in a 'serious' datacenter is separate the fiber from the power.

this is why serious facilities have a dedicated channel of yellow plastic overhead fiber tray which contains ONLY 1.6mm or 2.0mm jacketed 9/125 singlemode fiber, with nice smooth corners and spigots on it coming down above racks.

and then the AC power is in conduit and long rectangular metal enclosures.

and the -48VDC cabling on steel ladder rack, often with waxed string lacing if it was done by people who are being serious about it.

on a per rack cabinet level it's also really important to pick one vertical side for your power cables, and data cables vertically up the OTHER side, and stick to it consistently.

It's all just numbers at that point though, the actual money means nothing.

He gets to be in the public eye and news all the time. Gets to be defended by fanboys while making fun of disabled people and laughing at design people who work with Figma. He gets to delist anyone he dislikes. This role gives him power and attention on a global scale.

Seems like a great investment of $80B if that floats his boat, which it seems to.
Thanks! You might be right. I'm probably at a point where I'd have to actually go out and try it to understand it better.

I do wonder if there is some room for derivatives in a meta regex engine (like RE2 or the regex crate). For example, if it let you build a DFA more quickly (in practice, not necessarily in theory), then you might be able to use it for a big subset of cases. It's tricky to make that case over the lazy DFA, however, a full DFA has more optimization opportunities. For example, identifying states with very few outgoing transitions and "accelerating" them by running memchr (or memchr2 or memchr3) on those outgoing transitions instead of continuing to walk the automaton. It's really hard to do that with a lazy DFA because you don't really compute entire states up front.
Lua is a great language for game scripting. Perhaps that’s a better option.

Right, it gained relevance because of current events. Lots of articles posted to HN are months old. I found the story interesting because I had no idea who this person was until yesterday, opting to pay 4.2 million usd in taxes is certainly unique, and he seems to be the 'main character' on twitter today because of his convo with Elon.
