Yep; they also could have gone with "Natural code", or "Code natural" ...
The point that's often overlooked by people who complain about any sort of interviewing process (this one being an example) is: somebody _does_ pass the interview, eventually, or they change the process. The poster here seems to be suggesting that live coding is an impossible hurdle that nobody can overcome, but that's obviously not true - people overcome it and get hired all the time. I've auditioned as a musician in the past and it's tempting, when rejected, to say, "well, their standards were just too high" - but I have to find the humility to recognize that they just went with somebody better, because they did end up going with somebody.
>I don't know how they could be mismanaged so badly that the whole chain goes under?!

They're not the first. Linens n' Things was another big chain in a similar vein that went bankrupt.

Mostly I went into Bed Bath and Beyond if I wanted to actually look at and touch cooking utensils. Their selection tended to be better than places like Target. (Sur la Table is another chain for that kind of thing but there seem to be fewer of those around.)

I assume Bed Bath and Beyond's revenue skewed towards couples setting up a first home.
Once I was paying for my groceries in Germany using my American credit card. There was an old man behind me who was a bit impatient. While the payment was processing, I said to him I was sorry about the delay and he asked me why I was not using cash. I told him that I wasn't carrying any. He said "cash is king." I thought it was funny but he was very serious about it.
You need to move these sections into the GPU. Neither zig, rust, C++ nor C can do that alone. You'll need to use cuda or futhark. That's the real speedup for these types of things.

Optimization in this case largely concerns memory management in the GPU and keeping data transfer between cpu to gpu at a minimum.

Essentially a massively parallel API combined with a massively parallel processor. I'm thinking of doing an end to end tutorial about this.
So it's in Qualcomm's privacy policy. So what? Where did the consumer agree to that? If the phone never went through Google activation, no transaction ever happened which bound the consumer.

Class action lawsuit time.
Apple Pay and some other payment methods generate a single-use token per transaction which is much safer than sharing you raw credit card number with a merchant. The token can only be used once for that particular transaction.
My favorite of the moment is 'gluten free'. Seen on things that physically cannot have gluten in them, unless it's contaminated somehow.

Just because a judge ruled it doesn't make it so. Legislatures have decreed the value of PI is 3.14. That didn't change the actual value of PI.

Most pressing issue in our futures
It's pretty clear you haven't actually looked at the parts of the Securities Act they're referencing in the Wells Notice. They all refer to selling securities as an unregistered broker. The part that everyone is trying to argue is whether certain cryptos are securities or not.

You're being disingenuous by saying "the SEC is totally clear!", when in fact, they can't even give a straight answer as to whether ETH (top 3 crypto and probably most used for development) is a security.
I'm gonna miss it. I always thought it had an interesting Job to be Done when I observed my behavior with the store.

We had one a few blocks from my home, and though I order from Amazon like I'm trying to win some kind of game, I'd go to BBB when I needed something that day and didn't want to spend any time on research. It was almost guaranteed that the thing I'd buy would just naturally be at the top of a review site like Wirecutter and it saved me hours or days of research. Like the day my allergies were just nuts and I realized I probably needed an air purifier in the house, and an hour later instantly obtained the best in class product.

During the pandemic they got away from this model and started selling their own copy cat brands. Which some surmise as their final nail in the coffin because no one wanted that stuff. It broke the original Job I had looked for them to solve.

Wonder if there's something that will fill its place. I also thought b8ta had another interesting place there. Instant purchase of something that's on a list you often trust without need to actually research. But clearly it's tough doing retail even with a bunch of fans.
Hollywood isn’t in the EU. Maybe they didn’t care about big US style blockbusters so much. Serving their constituents and whatnot.
Of course it is - the title says "Piracy Doesn’t Harm Sales", and most sales aka revenue comes from blockbusters. Global box office in 2019 was $42B[1], and the top 10 highest grossing movies alone accounted for $13B[2].

You called for introducing meat eating license, which would introduce friction and make people eat less meat. The end game is the same, the mechanism is different.

> But the fact that people feel defensive whenever the thought of vegetarianism comes up to me points to the fact that deep down people on an individual level know that it is, to some degree, wrong.

Maybe. Or maybe people just feel discomfort because of all the people who are trying to dictate to them what they can and cannot eat.
I like this idea. i saw your email on HN i’ll email you
I guess this is why Apple Card is only on iPhones, despite the tech existing in every Apple iPad & Mac by now. Otherwise you could maintain your Apple “subscription” over a $400 iPad or a $600 Mac mini, which (arguably) “age” much slower.
I'm using Logseq for the same reasons.

.txt was never going to cut it for me, I always include images like drawings, photos and screenshots etc.

Logseq is open source, reasonable file format, stable, extensible, has a reasonable plan for funding itself without lock ins, and, for me, is among the smoothest I have used.

Notably missing from old OneNote 2016:

- shared notebooks w/indication of updates

- smoother syncing

Notable upgrades from OneNote 2016:

- still exists

- more structured (OneNote can out text and objects everywhere)

- easily extensible

- queryable

- taggable (Tags in OneNote aren't really tags, only glorified emojis)

- open source

As for the modern version of OneNote, I have given it up. It almost isn't comparable.
My point was that somebody not being sympathetic doesn't mean they are wrong. There are strong arguments to the effect that Apple being able to force (what is effectively) a 30% tax through AppStore exclusivity is misusing their market power. This argument doesn't depend in any way on whether Epic has a clean slate, just as the sky doesn't get any less blue just because Hi...Trump said it was blue.
The problem with live coding interviews is that they shouldn't exist.

Another problem is that we're prone to thinking that being able to do well on tests equates to doing well in life and work--despite a stunning lack of evidence in support it.
I’ve heard this theory for years but never understood why it should be considered viable / possible. Part of me wants to believe because it would be really cool, but the rest of me is skeptical :)

Can you explain why it’s reasonable and what it answers or how? Ie why must it be considered here?
Argentina was not poor as shit but have the same experience as Poland and many other parts of the world.

I think it is more connected to the culture and economic "platform" than to economic means: piracy is linked to the "fungible" nature of media and software.

I think now less piracy is connected to subscription services where you never own the software. On the other hand, anti-piracy means for software such as Microsoft Office or Adobe should be considered malware.
Our kids, who will shoulder far more of the effects of this than us, didn't get to choose this. This is their inheritance, generations of neglect for the environment and rampant profiteering culminating in a climate catastrophe.
They’re only objectively the strong candidate if that’s the sole thing the company values. It’s unusual for that to be the case.
Can't put CD into your phone; but you can put MP3 on it. As Gaben said, "piracy is a service problem".

Look at years; that's when portable music players; then smartphones; started to become popular

Pirating is easier than buying CD then ripping MP3 just to listen.

If we had the ease of use of today's music streaming the dip would probably be much lower; but between the tech at the time and RIAA cockblocking anyone that tried.
"Here are reasons why this thing is bad. I don't have a better option."

This type of interview related blog post seems to hit the front page every week. Almost everyone agrees that interviewing doesn't feel good and seems overly complicated/difficult/whatever.

I hate that interviewing is a skill that has to be developed, in large part, separately from other engineering skills. I also don't really enjoy SQL/Database work. But I've gained enough competence in SQL that I'll be fine in most jobs. The same is true for my interviewing skills.

You can just read what the government has said about this topic. It isn't controversial.

https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/gui...

"Courts do not require a literal monopoly before applying rules for single firm conduct; that term is used as shorthand for a firm with significant and durable market power — that is, the long term ability to raise price or exclude competitors. That is how that term is used here: a "monopolist" is a firm with significant and durable market power. Courts look at the firm's market share, but typically do not find monopoly power if the firm (or a group of firms acting in concert) has less than 50 percent of the sales of a particular product or service within a certain geographic area. Some courts have required much higher percentages. In addition, that leading position must be sustainable over time: if competitive forces or the entry of new firms could discipline the conduct of the leading firm, courts are unlikely to find that the firm has lasting market power."
A hunch: paper vs. screens or, going fully digital, paper-like software vs. terminal-like software. Microsoft Word, MacOS Pages, WordPress WYSIWYG, etc. come with the default background bright and was/is a pain to change; terminals, IDEs, code editors, etc. come with the default background dark and is a pain to read lots of code on a bright background and interface with other tools, mostly dark backgrounds.
> In a nation where plurality voting is widespread, we could expect a 60% majority (the Christian population) to win 100% of the elections.

Only if the population was homogenously distributed (or all elections were in a single. at-large district) and the identity at issue was the central and decisive issue for every election.
This piece focuses on complaints about ocaml, and the last half seems to just be syntax complaints (which I mostly ignore just because every language seems to have awkwardness in its syntax -- certainly Haskell, a language otherwise held up as an example, can be shown to accept some really weird text).

Good things about ocaml that I think should be mentioned are Hindley-Milner type inference (some might argue this, but it's a very effective system for inferring types), and also straightforward semantics (it's usually pretty easy to look at some code and make a reasonably accurate guess about what it will do on real hardware -- compare with Haskell).

I'm sympathetic toward the initial complaints here, which I also think are the most substantive. Type classes and qualified types, as in Haskell, would be very useful in ocaml/ML. The examples offered (show_of_int, show_of_double, ...) are valid, and also the related complaint that dishonestly broad types like structural equality (where runtime errors are raised for cases where the types are actually not supported) also make a compelling case for qualified types in ML.

I made this project ~10 years ago after making similar observations:
https://github.com/morganstanley/hobbes

Things like structural equality and ordering are user functions here rather than magic internal definitions (e.g. equality is defined as a type class, and type class instances can deconstruct algebraic types at compile time to decide how to implement instances). But evaluation is eager by default, so it's pretty easy to reason about performance. And data structures can be persisted to files and/or shared transparently in memory with C/C++ programs without translation, also very convenient for the places where this was used. Actually we built some very big and complicated time series databases with it, used in both pre and post trade settings where ~15% of daily US equity trades happen. So I think these observations are useful and have passed through some pretty significant real tests.
FWIW I send email from DigitalOcean. And you are mostly right.

If you are lucky you will get rejections. Most will just accept and put in spam which is better because the receiver can correct it, but worse because they will probably never see it and you won't know.

Some inbox providers like Google, FastMail, Proton Mail and others will track your domain reputation if you are sending enough (~1 message per day seems fine) and once you have built domain reputation they will accept from DigitalOcean with no issue.

But you can't rely on sending messages to new inbox providers. They reasonably treat mail from DigitalOcean IPs as suspect until they have enough other evidence.

One eye-opening fact I recently learned is that fossil fuel infrastructure being built today is expected to have a three-decade lifespan, after completion of its construction. So every time you hear about a new pipeline, drilling project, or refinery being built you know that the people sitting in the rooms authorizing billions of dollars being allocated to the project all believe it will safely be operating and producing profit 35 years from now; they wouldn't invest otherwise. This is what business as usual looks like. Every new fossil energy project is incompatible with a world that takes climate change seriously. Money talks.
The US is in a perpetual state of internal turmoil. "The good ol' days" never existed. It's very likely the other side of the same "dynamism" coin that produces much of the innovation/growth/power that the US has accumulated.

The Vietnam War was a domestic crisis that involved thousands of domestic terror bombings all across the country, for example.
Newbie error. Didn't realize that was the norm of the community. Tagging all older posts with the year now.
If we're going to save E2EE (End to End Encryption), then we seriously need to propose real and effective alternative solutions that don't involve putting backdoors in encryption. If these problems continue to proliferate, society at large is not going to tolerate it, and western governments will have all the justification they need to backdoor encryption. Once the government/law enforcement has backdoors in encryption, it's game over at that point, we'll never be able to undo any such legislation. Anybody who opposes will likely be labeled as potential criminals to silence their opposition.

The first most obvious step is to ensure it's easy to report illegal activity, and make it super obvious how to do so, especially for children and teens. The party receiving the messages should be able to voluntarily report them for potentially illegal content or illegal activity.

Part of me might be okay with client side scanning THAT DOES NOT REPORT ANYTHING AUTOMATICALLY! The option to report content should be my choice and completely voluntary. By all means warn/alert me, but do NOT upload any of my encrypted messages without my consent. I don't care how confident the client side scanning may be, because the AI models used for scanning will produce countless false positives. When any message could be reported virtually at random, this makes E2EE effectively meaningless.

Again, we seriously need to find alternate solutions to these problems and soon, because our fundamental rights to privacy and security have never been at greater risk than they are today.
Hopefully he just thinks it looks cool and doesn't know what it represented. For a while Walmart was selling brown t-shirts with a Totenkopf. I brought it to their manager and they gave me blank stares. I contacted corporate and they pulled it.
Figuring out utility doesn’t bother me. The hype that bothers me is applying it to random shit it should not be yet (eg using it to write anything more than starter code). I’m also bothered by the absolute fantastical BS lay people are being fed about the possibilities. Like the problem with ChatGPT is the scams. Having it generate “offensive” material is a joke - not only is it trivial to bypass any/all protections OpenAI tries to put in place, the protections themselves are laughable trying to stay away from any possible thing that could possibility generate any controversy for anyone anywhere.
> We could solve all world's problems by collectively killing ourselves,

Don't worry, we're in the process of that.
The "API server" only runs when requests come in. Otherwise Modal scales everything down to 0, and you don't pay for anything. It's similar to putting Lambda behind an API gateway.
Because the resources are on demand, and the provider takes care of all the server management.

I felt that way until I was the victim multiple thefts. Traps like these can act as deterrents.
The original purpose of PR was to accept patches from outsiders (people without write access to the project repository), as an alternative to sending patches to the project mailing list. In open-source development if there is a core team with write access to the project repository, i would be surprised if all patches from members of the core team were merged through PR process.
Unless the fighters plan to innocolate themselves onsite with the refrigirated samples, then I don't think we have much to worry about.

Both cryopreserved and cryodesiccation viruses needs special handling. I don't think these fighters are mastermind terrorists, but in case I'm wrong, then I hope survaliance is keeping track of cryotransports and some carrier group can be convinced to take action with a short notice.
> . In fact I said go at it, go hunt and kill and eat it!

This is a strange and unreasonable argument that's just designed to eliminate all meat, and not a good faith stance.
I think serverless just means that you hire less devops people for your specific team.

It’s a cost-saving measure that costs you mortal wounds in integration expense, and eventually building out a real infrastructure plan.
I will argue that mass media (print and broadcast) has been the most devastating force against culture in the world. You could count preaching in this category, as in the past the broadcast was a person traveling to spread a message and then a weekly church broadcast.

People used to have different customs and culture in different towns and regions. What are today's nation states used to be a rich conglomerate of different people. But countless oral traditions and stories were lost forever, or altered permanently as monotheistic culture gobbled them up.

When radio later came about, mass media became a tool of total control, and almost instantly the world was thrown into war and upheavals, as those who mastered the new medium could play the masses.

The same with TV as a propaganda tool. Those nation states that destroyed the tribes and took in them are now themselves getting quickly destroyed by a global monoculture.

Sure, there will be some traces left of the old, but a lot is lost every day.
Carbon sequestration is promising, but still years away. We need to start looking at stop gap solutions that buy us more time.
My understanding is buybacks are better than dividends for tax purposes, because with dividends you pay income tax and buy packs you pay capital gains.

protein !== protein. Besides eggs those are all terrible sources of protein from an amino acid perspective.

I never said it was unhealthy to forego meat, just that I have never found a non-meat source that can compete. I was vegetarian for 6 months, have done tons of 3-6 week vegan stints, keto, carnivore and others all while doing rock climbing training and tracking my performance. I am noticeably weaker and more injury prone on a vegan/vegetarian diet. I do 3-6 weeks of veganism to intentionally lose muscle mass and lower my overall weight.

People and the internet can say whatever they want about nutrition but it will be hard to convince me when I can accurately predict how much strength I will lose when removing meat from my diet.

> 19 Kids and Counting

I think the birthrate in the US has been falling consistently for years and years. After people have one kid, they realize how expensive childcare is, and usually don't have more than one more.
Other countries just don’t understand the reality of how much bigger the US is than them. Also it’s always a stab against America and not Canada or Australia, both of which share the same problems of size.
Does anyone have recommendations for good reading on this subject? What this means for combustion engines as a whole? I am trying to imagine where the push for clean energy will lead. I am fully on team green but I think the switch happened too late.
I feel like there is a future where you have a large percent of the population (at least in the US) where EVs are too expensive to afford the monthly payment/up front payment to switch but gas prices rise to a point where they can't afford to fill their tank anymore either. People will always say "just use public transit" but most cities in the US have a barely managing system if they even have one.
If we cater to everyone, nothing will be allowed.

If we cater to a specific set of people, it will be a discrimination against all others.

I think the most tolerant solution is to let people control their own bubbles of what they want to see.
The companies that run liquidations know what they're doing. While there's still a lot of stock in the store, the "bargains" that people rush in to get mostly aren't. And, by the time there are genuine bargains, things have been pretty picked over and I also suspect a lot of people buy bargains at that point that they don't need and wouldn't otherwise get.
