> Nothing? To this day, I don't understand the concept of "library management" and Lightroom as a tool. Might be simply because I'm neither a photographer nor a digital artist.

Photos don't have a natural band/album/song taxonomy like music, or author/series (maybe)/book like books. Cameras just give you a date/sequence number structure, which is great for the purpose of incremental backups (just add folders for the last calendar day to the backup). That's almost completely useless for browsing photos, though. When you have several hundred gigs of photos, you need something better.

In lightroom I have photos catalogued by location, by event, and by subject, and a few ad hoc collections. E.g. I really like nature photography, so "by subject" means I have them grouped up by species, and "by location" also covers parks, zoos, etc.

The reject/star rating workflow makes it easy to get rid of out of focus/blurry/otherwise inadequate photos and flag keepers for developing. I don't bother going for a fine-grained rating, but five-stars means photos I'm developing right away, four-stars are photos that are good but not amazing. I often end up revisiting these and finding something that makes me change my mind once I put in the work to develop them.

You just have to actually feel the pain of not having a tool like that, and then buy into the workflow, I guess.

I'm a layperson in these topics, but I've begun to suspect that degrowth is the new expression for what used to be called the "white man's burden", with global warming replacing classical Malthusian overpopulation fears. Particularly as it's applied by first world economies toward developing ones.

I have no problem as a libertarian locking in first mover advantage, but doing it by accusing others of what you yourself are guilty of is disgustingly hypocritical. I've even come to miss the kind of hypocrisy that knows what it's saying and doing, as opposed to the kind that simply takes the status quo for granted as if it had existed forever.
I've had apps/games I paid for suddenly change to IAP/subscription and completely screw everyone who purchased the original.

Square Enix screwed over android users who'd paid 20/game for the Final Fantasy series (I had purchased them all at one point), and for no reason deprecated the 'old versions' and released new ones (with zero updates/changes to the apps) and charged the full price again.

They never updated the original apps, the same bugs persisted for years, they finally update just to charge again.

I forget the publisher but Titan Quest on Android did the same thing. Shifted to a 'legendary edition' and screwed all original purchasers. Enough people complained that they released the add-ons for the old version at a higher price.

Now I just buy games on Switch or steam. Can't even re-buy the games on switch as after the SE screwing FF7 remake and then android apps I'm done giving them money.

So back to emulators to play the classics before IAPs.

Feel like everything just gets worse instead of the better I'd always imagined =(
For Tesla it can be a bad thing as for one the association "Electric Car, then it's Tesla" breaks and for second other manufactures can play their experience in building and supporting cars while benefiting more from economy of scale in the EV market.
> It's not insult if it's verifiably true, is it?

You are being incredibly uncharitable, bordering on dishonesty. Cars kill babies every year too but it’s not why people get into the automobile industry.

And this isn’t the “reality check” own that you think it is. It’s actually very condescending, and reductionist. You have not even attempted to refute the idea that a defense industry is necessary to maintain peace.

Overwhelming is one way to look at it. Another is that it’s an opportunity to demonstrate both breadth by hitting the keywords and also depth by diving into whichever part you know best.

Any candidate who made it to an interview should be able to rattle off a bunch of stuff. An excellent candidate will have more depth than the interviewer on some portions.

The interviewer’s first job is to decide whether the candidate has a baseline-acceptable level of knowledge (harsh but true, good fakers make it this far). This question is fine but not great for that for the reasons you mentioned. However, it is best to go in assuming they do.

So then the interviewer’s next job is to decide if they are going to be a good teammate. Google is rife with nerds trying to out-nerd each other, finding out how that goes in the interview is an explicit goal. A great interview on this question will end up in a moderately deep technical discussion of some aspect where both the candidate and interviewer are knowledgeable, much like a discussion you would want to have with your teammate at work. And that is why this is a decent question, in my opinion.
I mean, let's be real: if you have SBCL and QuickLisp most newer S-expression based languages don't have much to offer.
No. Many high-quality websites contain AI-generated content. Illustrations made with Stable Diffusion have become common on hacker/dev blogs. AI-generated text is posted everywhere ChatGPT is being discussed. The technique you describe doesn't filter any of those. So "No AI-Content" is at best highly misleading, and, if you're being a little less charitable, flat out false.

Depending on what you're doing, Janet might be a great fit! I wrote a DSL for [expressing and shading 3D shapes](https://bauble.studio), and it was pretty easy. Depending on exactly what you're trying to do, the ease of embedding the Janet interpreter inside of other programs might be a big point in its favor.
That's kind of what I was betting on. I don't see it going away anytime soon, but I also think it's potential impact is being overblown.

With regards to AI image generators, I think people overestimate the importance of illustration skills to visual creatives. Namely, if you look at the top graphic designers, something you pick up on is that they aren't necessarily known for their top-tier illustration skills. Anyone can theoretically make a logo in the style of Paul Rand, yet curiously, hardly anyone ever does.

Even if the person in question is an illustrator, I think what fundamentally makes them valuable as an illustrator is that they know what to draw rather than how to draw.

It's sentiments like these that make me question the notion of certain careers getting disrupted by AI as opposed to simply improved by it.
Yeah. I'm much more interested in discovering an interview subject's strengths, so I tend to give broad things that can be solved many ways.

One interview I had years ago that I really liked was where they gave a sample of code with a number of issues and asked me to describe how I'd improve it. I really appreciated that a) it was much more like actual work than many questions, b) you could start with obvious things and work deeper, and c) there were many valid ways to improve the code, so you weren't just trying to guess the answer the interviewer had in mind.
Give it up, the Vaccine is mostly worthless for young people. The analysis always compares Covid vs Vaccine. Most vaccinated will get covid anyway and how many booster shoots do you need given the effect lasts 120 days?
Anyone who hasn’t sat in the interviewer’s chair would be shocked at how many “Senior Software Engineers At BigCo” can’t even write a program that “displays a countdown of all even numbers from 100 to 2, each on a different line.” There is literally no baseline level of knowledge that is a given, like there is for, say, a doctor.
Since 9/11 there's been a shift towards not siloing information as aggressively as before in order to make intelligence failures less likely. Don't know if that was at play in this case though.

At the very least, access control systems should've flagged unusual access to more information that this person would've had a need to know. But as big as the US intelligence and defense apparatus is, not every agency, program, and office is gonna have rigorous enough controls to catch people like this. Seems like the lesson should've been learned after Manning and Snowden.
Were those individual inserts or as a transaction? The latter should significantly bump those numbers up. Also consider doing a prepared statement while you're at it.

My personal anecdote is when I was younger. I took things very seriously. I took people very seriously. I came off as a smart ass.

Later I learned if I want to be part of the party. I needed to check my brain in a lock box and not let it out until the social event is over. A social event is about meeting people and good feelings.

Bitcoin. Investing in Beanie Babies. Selling your house and becoming a digital nomad? That’s wonderful. You are living the dream. Other platitudes.
That covers you publishing software. It doesn’t cover providing a service to criminals and personally profiting from it, and the constitution definitely gives the government authority to police that so it’s going to come down to how well they can prove that those guys were going more than just releasing code.

> Two things I worry about: if the interview isn't "binary", how do you decide whether the candidate passed? Is doing just the simpler version fine as long as you ask for low pay? Or are you still failed? Or does it depend on whether other candidates did better, which is another way of saying you failed? It seems to me it's still binary.

When I did interviews, I did a problem in a kind of similar way (although I skipped most of this article, so I dunno). I'd give the same problem to all candidates, but expectations were higher for candidates with more experience.

For any candidate, there was a minimum bar (essentially needed to be able to program a loop that did what they said it would do), and failure was a very clear signal; although I had a couple candidates that the only signal I got was anxiety.

How much over the minimum the candidate got would help decide between weak to strong hire. And then there's a group decision based on the results from everyone.

> And the other thing is: if the candidate did great in 10', please don't ask additional questions.

Part of the job as an interviewer is to fill the whole time though. If we're done in 10 minutes of a 45 minute slot, that's a lot of time to fill. Usually the next interviewer is busy until the next one. A candidate doesn't usually have 35 minutes of questions, and a trip to get snacks or drinks, etc doesn't take that long either. At that point, you just have to ask them about projects and see if they've got anything they want to talk about --- but since that's not my interview role, I won't judge that.

I did have one candidate who I was the last interviewer of the day and they didn't like my question and asked for something else and wouldn't participate at all. We were done in under ten minutes, so I just walked them out and we both got 35 minutes of our life back.

Depends on role and level as well. SRE or junior SWE might get a “hire” for that but a senior SWE probably would go back to the other interviews as mentioned above.

I think it might be because that self-reliance often comes with defensive language/attitude? It's one thing to be self-reliant and another to ooze a miserable attitude about it (e.g., "World's never done shit for me, guess I'll have to just look out for myself."). Without that outward expression, you don't notice that some people appreciate the importance of self-reliance without it feeling anti-social.
I keep meaning to try Janet, and I think this post is the push I needed to actually do so. IIRC my previous hesitation was around multithreading, but apparently that's supported now so I really don't have much of an excuse left.
Tesla's market cap implies that kind of zero sum game -- it's only justified by the idea that they're going to own a bigger portion of the automobile market than Toyota at some point, or that they'll move into providing some kind of tech that's worth 3x Toyota's value.

J-Alert is often disliked by the Japanese people because it has repeated false alarms and its warning sound is quite shocking. North Korea has fired missiles that passed over Japan’s airspace several times, but while some people get furious when they hear the news, they go back to their normal lives as if nothing happened after a few hours. Besides, where are we supposed to evacuate when they tell us to? Under the desk? In the river? On a hill? Some of the Tokyo Metro stations in the city center function as shelters because they are deep underground, but most people can’t do anything about it.
This would absolutely work when the EHR/EMR is down. Otherwise, most of that stuff is automated and pulled directly from the medical/surgical records in the EHR/EMR.

The GP is correct that Eddington's observations during the 1919 eclipse had to do with the deflection of starlight. General relativity predicted that starlight passing by the Sun would be deflected by a certain amount, and Eddington's observations showed that general relativity's prediction was correct.

The discrepancy between Mercury's perihelion precession and Newtonian gravity had been observed long before Einstein developed general relativity. Calculations under general relativity correctly determined Mercury's perihelion advance, but general relativity did not predict the perihelion advance, since it was already known.

Yeah.

Each medium of wealth storage has tradeoffs, so being categorically opposed to one type because of ideological principles seems suboptimal to me.

For example, fiat may be subject to devaluation, but is stable, widely accepted, highly liquid and (cash) is anonymous.

Bitcoin is subject to speculation, so prices are highly volatile, amongst other downsides.

Land tends to maintain or grow in value, subject to interest rates, tax environment, and adjacent developments, and is very illiquid.
I guarantee that you do rituals every single day because you prepare for them just like a ritual. A habit? Sure. A ritual, of course.
Also consider PRC manufacturing + secondary industry sectors roughly peaking at ~300M for both domestic and global demand. Past decades of global demand wasn't enough to lift 1.4B PRC into higher income like other Asian Tigers, and PRC industrial policy + automation means they intend to hold on to as much industries as possible. Going forward, there's going to be less manufacturing jobs to spread around. Some small/medium size countries can grab their workshop turn, but I think with return of big bloc industrial policy, especially for strategic sectors, very few will get chance to build up to high end manufacturing / high income.
I am not sure how much I trust this explanation. A lone discord user was responsible for a top secret leak because of some banal online argument? Doesn't sound right. Almost too convenient to hide some deeper systematic cracks in the intelligence agencies and their incompetence in securing their own secrets.

I know, don't attribute malice where stupidity suffice. But something just nagging me about how inane this whole explanation is.

In other words, you set yourself up to interview as best as you can, then make a bunch of connections and schedule a bunch of interviews, and (hopefully) at least one of those will be on a good day.

It's such a weird and, frankly, shitty way to make hiring decisions though. But at the same time, we don't have much better.

I think your approach is fine, but I should mention that it will, like any interview approach, misfire with some people.

Episodic recall and emotional recognition are both talents that vary across the population. If I want to do well at an interview like this, I will have to spend a bunch of time in advance refreshing my memory of various projects I have worked on so that I can simulate a neurotypical response to those questions. If I don't, I may just stare at you nervously and break out in a sweat when I realize I don't have anything filed under, "project I am most proud of". Or that pulling up the narratively engaging details of a project I haven't thought about in years is a process that will take me hours of specific effort. And it's not just me; I've hired great developers who were also terrible at "humane" interview questions but who did great when we just sat down and coded together.

I always test with a query about Django "not equal" filtering and it always hallucinates, same thing here (the "ne" lookup doesn't exist and has never existed):

To do a “not equal” comparison in a Django queryset filter, you can use the __ne lookup type. For example, if we have a model called MyModel with a field called field, we could filter out all instances where the field field is not equal to ‘value’ with the following code

This is really the main thing I was thinking about: it’s been bizarre how the salespeople kept going on about bitcoin being anonymous when it’s more like “if you do everything perfectly, you probably won’t be tracked. As far as we know now.”, which is just incredibly fragile.
