Your case sounds like this - we have an engineer assigned to our team, we don't like his performance, and we can't do anything about it. Kind of a dead end which is bad for business. I prefer strong teams which were assembled by team leaders and members, not by business. I think the biggest problem in tech hiring is who makes the hire, it's pure luck if you don't have a ton of comprehension in the field and just assign someone as a business owner. The second biggest problem is that the wrong people don't get churned in the first few weeks So hire ONE senior engineer who will get stuff done in a way you like, – let him do the rest of the team hires, give him the responsibility to fire those who don't fit in the first few weeks. Voila, you have a self-sustained, well-communicating, and motivated team of people who get stuff done in a way you like.

Seems like I have to add some explaining words here ...

Book layout is a very complicated topic. If you look at that image and step away a bit it leaves a chaotic visual impression. Reason behind that is that if you want a visually pleasing look, all the paragraphs have to have a similar "density". That is defined by how long the words are, the spacing in the words (kerning, ligatures, font), and the spacing between the words. Latter is all across the board, even changes within the same paragraph! LaTeX has all that typesetting knowledge included, and it will actively hyphenate words to accomplish its goal. I see exactly one word being hyphenated there.

Another thing that stuck out immediately was the font selection for the all uppercase paragraph. Some fonts are just not made to be used that way and this is one of them. These curvy uppercase letters are nice to start words, but used together it is ... ugh.

Last is that leftover sentence at the top of the right side. It "validates" the separator image, so this is somewhat of a pro/contra mixed bag situation.

Professionals could probably say even more about all this, I just used LaTeX for a couple years more often and these are things I learned (to see) on the way.

Plan 9 for NeXT works well in Previous with a 9p server running on the emulation host or a different machine on the net. Previous support for NeXTstep includes an NFS and NetInfo server in Previous itself. The equivalent emulation of the 9p protocol is not yet available, however.

Also note that the most recent version of Plan 9 for NeXT is the second edition (http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/plan9/history/plan9-2e.tar.bz2). Updating the code to use the new graphics system introduced in the 3rd edition is on my to-do list...

Shameless plug - the 9th International Workshop on Plan 9 takes place in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, this April: http://iwp9.org

Btw., NetBSD is also supported in Previous now, but there has been a regression after NetBSD 5.2.3 that we have only been able to identify and fix recently (it seems that there are not a lot of NeXT NetBSD users left...) thanks to the great support by Izumi Tsutsui. So NetBSD 9.3 currently needs a number of patches as discussed on the NetBSD/next68k mailing list (http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-next68k/), but 5.2.3 should work out of the box.

Many of those studies also conclude "more plant, less food", or:

Temperature is not the only factor the models consider when simulating future crop yields. Higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have a positive effect on photosynthesis and water retention, increasing crop yields, though often at a cost to nutrition.

and

Increases in temperature and carbon dioxide (CO2) can increase some crop yields in some places. But to realize these benefits, nutrient levels, soil moisture, water availability, and other conditions must also be met.

>us talking about "we can't afford to fix this" is like people playing a videogame and racking up points IN A HOUSE THAT'S ON FIRE -- saying sorry, I can't pause the game to put out the fire... yet the house is the only one we all have.

The problem is that we really can't put the fire out.

To extend your analogy, it's like people playing a videogame in a burning house, but the players are competing against each other. And this isn't a normal videogame: the players have implants, wirelessly connected to the machine, which will inject the loser with poison. Whoever loses, dies. So if anyone takes a break from the game to put out the fire, they die (and the fire rages on anyway). The only way to put out the fire is to get everyone to stop the game simultaneously and work together to put out the fire. But that's impossible for these people, because they're greedy and selfish and hate each other and any attempt at working together will be sabotaged somehow by at least one of them.

What can be done in a situation like this? Nothing; just let the fire burn and enjoy the game while it lasts. Hopefully, whoever inherits this planet after humans are gone will be a better species than we were.

Bonds are essentially the "free" rate of return. Assuming you trust the government, there's no reason to earn anything less. That means that everything needs to return something above the bond rate. That goes for debt too, why would you write a riskier loan to someone at a lower rate than the government?

LPs looking to put their money somewhere (or many somewheres) will reconsider as rates change. It might not be "vc or bond" but it will cause every part of the financial system to re-calibrate. Maybe a rich person takes out debt against their assets to invest in a VC fund in 2020, but now that the rates rose and stock values fell, the interest rate on that (or comparable) debt is too expensive. For example, Elon's loans for twitter range from 6% to 11%, and would likely be higher if written today.

TLDR Interest rates don't need to compare 1:1 to a VC fund's returns to have an affect on the decision by LPs to invest in it.
Why use this instead of the official packages?

It helps to ask it to first split the implementation into a plan and then to ask to implement each step individually. Also, it is faster to fix tiny errors on your own instead of leading it into it. Sometimes it also helps to redo the full process with a good task definition and requirements list. The code isn't ideal but it could be more inspirational than an empty editor when starting something new.
hmm interesting... i haven't done a technical interview in 15 years so i just tried fizzbuzz (leetcode was the first thing that popped up on google)... took me about 15 minutes. i was caught a bit off guard, there are a couple of little subtle gotchas that require some actual thought. i'd say it's a pretty good test without requiring knowledge of data structures or CS level algorithms.

that said i would only want to do it on a terminal, not on a whiteboard. i'd probably fuck that up somehow.

It's not quite right that banks don't loan out their depositors money. They need depositors to be able to make loans. Stashing depositors money at the Fed keeps the bank from making loans.

Stashing money at the Fed is possible by the way, and effectively does destroy the money (or rather, takes it out of the economy).
Banks can deposit money at the Fed earning exactly the interest rate that the Fed controls. This effectively takes that money out of the economy. That is generally rather bad, because it stifles growth. But in case of inflation, it can sort of help. That is part of why the Fed interest rate helps regulate inflation.

But generally speaking, you want loans to be made! It helps good and productive ideas get of the ground. It is core to Western economies. Hence the Fed is quite scared of narrow banking. They want to be the 'borrower of last resort'.
Cochrane's speculates a bit about the Fed's motives near the end. He doesn't think they're outright evil, in cahoots with the incumbent commercial banks, etc. He thinks it's a misguided attempt to cross-subsidize the lending activities at the current commercial banks. If the super safe narrow bank draws away a lot of the common depositors, the commercial bank will need to get more other (more expensive) funding sources (bonds and other loans) which can make mortgages, business loans etc more expensive.

edit: It was Scott Sumner, commenting on Cochrane's blog, who speculated that the motive might be cross-subsidizing the normal bank lending activities: https://www.econlib.org/why-does-the-fed-oppose-narrow-banki...

EasyBuild lead developer here ^_^

Not all of this is 100% correct, so let me pitch in:

- EasyBuild currently doesn't have an uninstall option, that's true, but since every software installation sits in its own separate directory, it basically boils down to removing that directory + the environment module file that EasyBuild generated for it;
- EasyBuild can install "binary packages" (see the 'Binary' easyblock). Examples are the Intel compilers, CUDA, etc. We don't provides pre-built binaries for software that EasyBuild installs from source though, that's true;
- EasyBuild has no "environments" concept. The closest thing perhaps is the 'Bundle' easyblock, that can be used to "glue" different environment modules together. We mostly rely on the environment modules tool (Lmod) so this, see for example module collections: https://lmod.readthedocs.io/en/latest/010_user.html#user-col...
- EasyBuild does indeed require an environment modules tool. Both Lmod (Lua-based) and Environment Modules (Tcl-based) are supported;
- EasyBuild also supports RPATH linking (see https://docs.easybuild.io/rpath-support/), but it's not the default.

> "EB is really set up to automate a certain type of installation common in HPC"

EasyBuild is definitely geared towards installing software on HPC systems, but there's no "certain type of installation common in HPC": we support software using a wide variety of installation procedures. But maybe you're referring to installing software in a shared filesystem (NFS, usually something like /apps).
I've been with my current mob for about six years now, so I am starting to think "RTFProfile" is a lost art.
> the page unnecessarily copies the image into a <canvas> and then tries to upload the data from the <canvas> instead of the original image.

Surely there could be valid reasons for doing so?

I imagine for example that:

1. It ensures the selected file is a valid image before uploading it

2. It strips meta data like GPS position from the image before uploading it

3. It could reduce the size of the image, by either scaling it down, or compressing it more, or both, before uploading it
Banks usually have a regulatory requirement to keep a portion of funds in the Federal Reserve.
How much longer would it have taken if you just used open source graphics and search engines instead of GPT and Midjourney?
It's necessary if you have filters in the upload flow, like Instagram does (which is why it breaks.)

Or it might not be strictly necessary, but Instagram does it anyway.
There are many perfectly valid reasons to do that. It’s a lot more scalable to resize images client side rather than server side and using a canvas is one of the simplest ways to achieve that.
That has massive fee friction, does not eliminate counter party risk entirely, and earns different (lower?) rates than the Fed offers.

The one specific thing I remember is a philosophical rant about how you can never be sure that a hacker will leave a trace within the digital inner world of a computer that they control.

Better link for Spack talk at EUM'23: (the 'eum' link is a moving target)

There's also an (now a bit outdated) talk compared EasyBuild with Spack and other alternatives like Nix/Guix which I gave a FOSDEM'18: https://archive.fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/installing_so...

The EasyBuild User Meetings have always been very open to having talks on "competing" tools. Todd (or someone else) giving an update on recent developments in Spack is becoming a tradition (see also https://easybuild.io/eum21/#spack, https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild/wiki/5th-EasyBuild..., etc.)

If you need to use it to test candidates, bad news is you can't tell rote memorizers from problem solvers.
I don't understand the test on this page. It says we should be worried because a fingerprinting website generates the same hash even after you clear your cache and site-data, and even if you go into a private tab. But I'm not overly concerned by this, provided I share that hash with other people.

The worry would be that the hash is unique to me (i.e. a fingerprint), but I don't see the evidence that it is.
PCs are much easier to upgrade than phones. I ditched my Galaxy S2 many many years ago, but my PC is still fine after a few upgrades (e.g. SSDs).
And on Chrome - even counts the number of times you visit in incognito
It’s a double edged sword you need to walk the edge of. Almost everything they use to fingerprint you has a fully legitimate use case which is why it was added.

The more you do to prevent fingerprinting the more you hobble the web as a platform. A lot of restrictions that got placed on the canvas tag to help prevent fingerprinting for instance really limited its functionality.

In my opinion a workable solution would be to make more of these things opt-in by the end user to high accuracy data for the page.
Indeed. The IP looks like a strong signal in the overall game of fingerprinting.
I don't think it's about effort to set up EasyBuild (although we do have a hard requirement for a modules tool).

Spack is perhaps more attractive to software developers because it has specific features for that use, like the flexible dependency handling mechanism and the concretiser.

In my view, EasyBuild is better suited than Spack to maintain a central software stack, but I'm definitely biased. :)
It is, though now how you'd expect. OpenAI have a tool that lets you see how text is tokenized: https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer
