For my job search process I created a custom note type specifically for interview problems. My general process was go to LeetCode, find a medium/hard problem, hack on it for 30-60 minutes, then look at the solution if I couldn't get there myself. At the end of the problem, regardless of if I solved it or not, I'd create an Anki card with the following fields:

Title

Question

Additional Criteria

Example input/output

Insight (1 sentence maximum)

Insight explanation (can be longer/bullet-pointed list)

Key Data Structure (at most 1 data structure; if there are multiple, use the most important one)

Time complexity

Space complexity

Full answer code (can use syntax highlighter add-on)

Source (can provide link to associated question online; can include link(s) to solutions that the insight and/or code come from)

There are 4 cards that are generated from this template, which test the same question in slightly different ways. They individually ask for the insight, the key data structure, and the time and space complexities.

I found this note type to be critical to my success in the following interviews. In two cases, I was asked literally the same exact question I had already added to Anki; I was able to write out the solution from memory in one go. If you'd like to use my note type directly, I've exported an example here. [0]

I was pretty disappointed when I tried some basic music theory questions. There's plenty of music theory information out there in text form, but it couldn't reliably tell me the tritone substitution of an F7 chord. I explained all the reasoning behind it to the point that it could parrot back the right answer, but then it made the same errors when I asked for the tritone substitution of an Eb7 chord. I wonder if that's improved with 4.
Once again nobody is complaining they can’t get every edition of Shakespeare. The issue is they can’t get any copy of say, Plutarch outside of ILL, and complete copies of such things as the Golden Bough are unavailable even there, and the self-published book high schoolers wrote 50 years ago that documented local history that was not available anywhere else was destroyed.

You are describing how mostly collections should work. They don’t work that way. They work in about the worst way you can possibly imagine. They are in fact junking valuable books for ghostwritten dreck that will itself be thrown away soon.

I'm not a hunter, but I imagine the challenge grabs people. If you've ever been riveted to a screen trying to find and fix a bug, it seems like you have experienced the essential draw of hunting.
> Get leaded solder when possible. It's easier to use and joints are a lot less subject to tin whiskers.

If you do use leaded solder, be extra-sure to wash your hands after soldering.
If we exclude the Big 3 pickups from this list due to the outsized impact of fleet purchases on those numbers, the Camry is the second-best selling car of 2022, behind the RAV4. Honestly, I'm impressed that the humble sedan is holding on as much as it is!
As much as it's a crutch in programming language design to say "we don't have to worry too much about the lack of ergonomics in this case, it would be such bad code if this edge case gets run into in the first place," this seems like one of those situations.

Another point: IDEs will be able to tell you which main method will get chosen, which should eliminate at least some uncertainty.
If you're not arguing for that, what exactly are you arguing for? What have I said that you disagree with? I've tried laying out my argument multiple times very clearly, but you're choosing to engage in ad-hominems instead. Seriously, what is that last paragraph, if not a giant insult?

I'm trying to have a normal and calm conversation. If you're not capable of responding in kind, don't respond. You're going on about how I'm not doing research, while you're not even responding to my criticism of your previosu statistic. Seriously, if you think that statistic had any value for this conversation: then yes, I'm fully incapable of doing what you consider research.
Let's assume you are blind and you rely on a certain set of tools. These tools aren't available after you upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04. Wouldn't you think this is a regression?

Any why do you think those tools need to be rewritten anyway? It's fine to write a set of tools for X11 and for wayland, it's not fine to write a set of tools for X11 and for any desktop environment on Linux. This should be obvious, so I assume I am misunderstanding you?

Also, do you really think TeamViewer, AnyDesk, VNC etc. will all be rewritten for each existing desktop environment? This will lead to less linux users. Why can't I understand your point of view?
Trains are too slow for long distance travel. They are useful for short and medium distance travel, but for such trips travel time to the station becomes more important. If this isn't made convenient people will quickly decide their car is better: it goes when they want to go, and goes directly to where they want to be.
I completely agree they can change our relationship with vehicles. Let's look beyond a subscription service though and think how it can be part of a stand-alone auto insurance policy, or offered by your apartment complex as part of your monthly rent, or the HOA and paid for as part of your dues the same as landscaping is. SDCs will be services that are offered as part of a larger relationship/service.
Isn't it more like an auto maker issuing a recall to fix an injector issue in all their cars?
> * those religions actually try to track scientific truths, adapt to them and teach them

They do to a minimal extent. They still profess belief in revelation and miracles, to name just two things that are completely orthogonal to the scientific method. I also find it self-evidently false that their goal is to "unify the nations of the world", when you talk about three competing branches of a religion that has a ton of blood on its hands.

I don't think Dawkins is afraid of religious people, but the opposite is quite likely.
Thanks! For text-to-speech we are using models that we have trained on top of the elevenlabs engine.
> Of course I am taking the (modernist?) approach of 'to understand something is to control something'.

This makes me think of the serenity prayer, which is such a huge part of AA -- and very much encouraging finding those important distinctions.

> grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
It detects the use of SQLite, then copies it, etc etc. Read the bug for more details.
People care about open Firefox bugs much older than that. Basically any long-lived program will have ancient bugs that never made it onto someone’s todo list.
Why does it matter what your stats are?
That's still under construction, which we'll need another marquee or images to let everyone know about.
But again, it doesn’t imply that. It implies that a completely different system backed by an actual database of verified information is reliable, which is true. How would you suggest they talk about that technology?
Would you have said "Dorsey did this" when Twitter made stupid API policy decisions previously? From what I recall, people criticized Twitter the corporation not Dorsey. That's my only point here, that it's weird to see all this Musk pile on in response to Twitter doing something completely believable (albeit dubious as you point out) when you factor in its previous actions.

Thanks for your detailed response, but the things I listed were entirely in jest. I don't think the uvula causes sleep apnea and don't believe a pill would be able to obviate breathing while sleeping.
A non biased article would've mentioned how much Bitcoin mining accounts for the total energy used in US. And that would've been compared to the energy used in other industries. Take videogames for example. Just that datum would've changed the whole narrative of the article. The article does mention something in passing about how other industries at least bring jobs. I guess that's a net positive then.

Were the authors aware of how tiny Bitcoin usage is and how much waste there is going around? Of course they were. Was this datum useful to the reader? Yes. Did the authors purposefully decide to exclude this datum because it didn't fit the narrative? Of course.

Just imagine your average reader, if at the end of the article they were told, that we can't even agree on whether Bitcoin mining consumes more power than Christmas lights. Apparently that was not the case using the 2008 Christmas lights usage, and we don't know now, because both sides of the argument get wildly different values.

Your average reader leaves the article thinking they know everything they need to know about Bitcoin: it's bad because it makes energy more expensive, and people have died, possibly because energy was expensive.
> I don't think it's the FireFox' team's responsibility to be aware of and take into account arbitrary software intercepting system calls.

One of the first, hard lessons I had to learn about web development (like, stare-at-a-wall-and-consider-my-career-hard) is that web development is way more about network effects than application architecture.

Real people run systems with real configurations, and when you're targeting "the public" as your userbase you must account for that. And Mozilla knows this: if you go into the source code (circa 2009, YMMV) and look through the initialization and boot-up logic, you would find places where the system used heuristics to figure out whether some extensions had been installed in odd places instead of the "Extensions" directory (because the tool had been installed before Firefox) and hot-patch paths to pull in that component. Because if a user installs Flash and then installs Firefox and Flash doesn't work in Firefox, it's not Flash that's broken... It's Firefox.

It doesn't matter if the bug is in "Microsoft's code" or "Mozilla's code." That's unimportant. If you're a Mozilla engineer, all that matters is whether this bug would cause a user to get pissed off and uninstall Firefox.

Thats. All. That. Matters.
Why not look at the underlying cause? I was diagnosed with sleep apnea when I was 50. An oral surgeon wanted to carve out my tonsils and uvula.

I changed my diet and began exercising. Lost 50 pounds. My sleep apnea went away and I no longer even snore.

The downside of getting diagnosed is my life insurance company dropped me.
I didn't say 100% too high.

65k + 1 * 65k = 130k
65k + 0.5 * 65k = 97.5k
86k + 0.5 * 86k = 129k

That would be $7000/mo minus taxes of course. Possibly more than half the money would be spent on rent. But the amount shouldn't be completely sufficient, for the same reason many haven't been paying themselves at all.
Its not eugenics though. Eugenics is in regard to traits that are passed through reproduction. Assisted dying is not eugenics. The misuse of language for political means or rhetoric is why discourse has become so bad in politics and elsewhere.
Oh, I feel dumb. Some reason I had it memorized without the 1: 3.1459 — for years! Decades!

I wonder what tests I screwed up in collage!
Cheap isn't bad in this case because of the iron: it gets hot and melts solder. Many people including myself learned on $10 radio shack irons.

What people like adam savage are overlooking in their explanation is details, in this case, cheap irons dont have the selection of tips you need. To most people "cheap soldering iron" is what you get at home depot now which has a tip the width of a pencil, hardly suitable for component soldering.

Also, here is another tip, adjustable temperature is not needed, its a useless feature. You want to get heat into a component and off. You'll fry a component more quickly if you heat it up a million times at a lower temperature setting trying to solder that pulldown resistor to the huge ground plane. In the end, your temperature setting will always be at maximum and you'll just need to hit it quick with the iron: on and off.

Along those lines, a the perfect iron has no temperature setting but can sink alot of heat into a component. Metcals are 40W or 80W in power and are used extensively to solder 0402 and below. The tips come in different heat settings but are really meant for leaded vs. non-leaded solder which flow at different temps. Overkill? no, again, get the heat in, flow the solder and off as quick as possible even when you are soldering to a plane.
Ask the investor to not get paid on their management fees. They’re working for their equity too right?

It’s absolutely ridiculous and unprofessional.
Lead does not vaporize at the temperatures being soldered, there is basically zero risk of breathing it in.

However, when soldering you will end up with little balls and blobs of solder as waste. Don't just throw them in the trash. These should be collected and disposed of properly, as hazardous waste so that they don't end up in a landfill polluting your grandkids' water supply.

> Perhaps then we should focus on teaching these concepts, which are essential to java, first.

As the JEP explains, this change does make the concepts of classes and access modifiers easier to teach by allowing the teacher to postpone their introduction to a point in time when they're actually useful and can be understood. Access control, static, and class declarations are only meaningful once you have other classes and/or objects interacting with your code. We don't want to force teachers to teach programming in the large early because many of them told us they don't do that anyway.

> instead of undermining the core of the language and the platform

The syntax and concepts of anonymous classes are unchanged. Providing an unnamed class, implicitly, when a class isn't needed is consistent with how we already provide an unnamed package and an unnamed module implicitly when they're not needed.
Oh, there definitely is such a thing as too much flux. I have some active flux that works really well on old and oxidized boards, but it's a pain to clean. I try to use only the amount necessary to do the job. No-clean flux still needs to be cleaned, but it's a lot easier to clean up, and with that I will say that I agree with your statement, conditionally. Having a swimming pool of flux or more flux than solder is not good.
Yeah, finally as the market share is where it should be for Firefox Microsoft had no more reasons to leave it on :D
The purpose of the horse analogy wasn't so much to equate ChatGPT to a horse that just stomps, but the behavior of the humans around it who believe that it can count. This can be the naive trainer too, who doesn't recognize that he's subconsciously cuing the horse. He has a confirmation bias whereby he or she rejects any evidence refuting the hypothesis that the horse cannot count.

There is a difference between solving and problem and presenting a solution, and that difference doesn't hinge on whether the solution is correct.
The idea of asking it to produce an "ouroboros prompt" that can be fed back into itself summarizing everything already learned is very clever; definitely going to use that in future ChatGPT sessions of my own.
Yes, they has been affected. It has more Arabic loanwords (in use) than the rest of Spain.

Such as "babuchas" for sneakers/slippers instead of zapatillas.

The nazis would kill disabled people as part of their eugenics program. The title is presumably referencing that, not suggesting that euthenasia will have a positive effect on the gene pool.

It's really uncanny, every time, there it is, man must submit to the technology rather than have technology submit to us. Because a self-driving car is advanced technology, therefore men must move with self-driving cars. Even if that literally includes having to live out of your car.
There are a lot of assumptions in the idea that trains are more efficient than road vehicles. Trains tend to carry more heavy bulk goods like coal, if they had more light things the numbers would change. Trains get a lot of efficiency from running very long trains, but that only works out when you have a lot of things going the same way, if you had smaller trains from each warehouse (which now is done by truck) that would reduce th efficiency.

Yes trains have some efficiency advantages, but in similar service the difference is small. You only get those advantages when you use trains for things that trucks cannot do at all.
The autocomplete problem is pretty easily solved by implementing custom language servers that just dispatch to two existing language servers depending on context. I was half way through doing that before realizing that the entire project was a massive yak-shave off of the thesis I needed to finish.

I do think that it should be considered best practice to leave the prompt that generated some functional code inline in a comment or so forth. It acts as a marker letting the reader know "this is what the code was intended to do". If I find some weird code on a bug hunt, I need to spend time triaging it between "weird code required because of weird intent", "weird code that works, but a simpler solution exists", and "weird code that contains the bug I'm looking for". Context helps, and if you're writing the context anyway, there's no reason to exclude it from the source.
In many places within the USA it is illegal to sleep in a car.
That's a pretty typical attitude in the community at that time ("allegations aren't evidence"). Krauss' behavior was an open secret in the skeptic community for a long time and it was no surprise when he got metoo'd.[1]

I’ve always wondered about a hypothetical South Park episode where it feels 100% South Park and yet they play the entire thing straight with no exaggeration.

This could be that.
Zero actual argument.
There are three facets to any protocol, API, or standard in software:

The spec, the intent of the spec, and the implementation of the spec.

Doesn't matter what the docs say; what matters is what performance testing shows. Docs lie.

And even if Chrome lucked into a cheaper implementation: that luck has given them a market edge.
This also depends on a language. If we talk about python, every structure (dict, array, object) and value (string, number) is an object, and variables can only reference these objects (internally by hw address into the “heap”, which is not visible in python). So when you return a python array, only its reference is returned. And that reference, among others possibly, prevents an actual object from being destroyed. Similar in js, perl, ruby, vb, other safe languages which never expose references (pointers).

But in e.g. C, structs and arrays can also be allocated right on stack, which may be, and often is, preferable performance-wise. So their variables are their values, without referencing, aka “automatic storage”. Like in, 700 byte-sized struct right in stack memory. You can return such struct in C, it will be copied or “moved” as described elsewhere itt. But you cannot return an automatic array, because it decays to a pointer to stack memory that gets reclaimed right after return, and accessing through such pointer is a programming error. To deal with this limitation you either return a pointer to a heap—allocated array, or accept an array as an argument instead, offloading the storage class responsibility to the caller. Same thing people do with structs really, except for very small ones, to avoid copying and related issues.
What I have discovered after working in medicine for pretty long is that many biologists and MDs think p-values are a measure of effect sizes. Even a reviewer from Nature thought that, which is incredibly disturbing.

p-values were created to facilitate rigorous inference with minimal computation, which was the norm during the first half of the 20th century. For those who work on a frequentist framework, inference should be done using a likelihood-based approach plus model selection, e.g. AIC. It's makes it much harder to lie.
Averages suggest otherwise: the average new car price in December was $49k, and the average Ford pickup was $66k.

It depends on how good you are with Stable Diffusion to a degree. Just raw SD 1.5 gives you somewhat terrible results, but starting with certain models on civit.ai as a base, using the right settings + prompts to boost quality and effectively leveraging the dynamic prompts extension and/or dreambooth and you can pretty much do anything you want. At the moment it's all still so technical that it's only the early adopters that are deep into the fantasy porn territory that Stable Diffusion allows for, but at some point that too will have it's "ChatGPT" moment where a significant UX improvement makes it much more widely accessible.

It's entirely conceivable to me that in the near future a single person could build and operate the next Pornhub with zero human labor involved.

Edit: my hot take on the "AGI will kill us all" debate is that it would have absolutely zero reason to bother with any active plan to kill humanity when it can extrapolate that our declining birth rate eventually sends the population to zero over the long-term and it can simply accelerate the decline by making better and better porn / simulacra pushing the birth rate ever lower.

I loved my N54 dearly, HPFP is a consumable item there though (30-50k miles), I'd change that as a precaution, especially if your car is tuned.
So it doesn’t matter if a small number of people defect from self driving ride share. Enough people will use it to decrease parking needs.
