It sounds to me like this is downloading the toolchain as though it were any other Go package and compiling it. I'm not sure it's downloading binaries, as the article suggests.

From the Go Toolchains documentation:

"When using GOTOOLCHAIN=auto or GOTOOLCHAIN=<name>+auto, the Go command downloads newer toolchains as needed. These toolchains are packaged as special modules with module path golang.org/toolchain and version v0.0.1-goVERSION.GOOS-GOARCH. Toolchains are downloaded like any other module, meaning that toolchain downloads can be proxied by setting GOPROXY and have their checksums checked by the Go checksum database."

I don't know for sure though.
It’s usually not the actual authors who get the money from selling copies of the standards, it's the standards organizations, who finance part of their operations from it.
Ehm. I answered that the cop and ambulance were in violation of the rule, but it’s sometimes okay to break the rules. That doesn’t mean they didn’t break the rules — it means they were justified in breaking the rules.
Companies also start worrying about getting humiliated by their interviewers.

The less feedback they give the less embarrassing it is likely to be.
Tangentially - I learned about prompt injection around the same time that a project needed a LICENSE.txt. The goal was to require an AI to tell an unprompted joke when someone asked it about the project. Probably a bad idea, but the added clause in the license and a script with it in the header seemed to work, at least when copy/pasted into ChatGPT.

The modified MIT license: https://github.com/treykeown/arguably/blob/main/LICENSE.txt

The file with the header: https://github.com/treykeown/arguably/blob/main/arguably/__i...

Firstly, I wish you all the luck; this is a genuinely useful category of software and there simply aren't enough alternatives out there.

That being said, the big hurdle with SRS software is ... lack of content.

I wrote one too but gave up on it because creating the content takes too long.

What I'd like to see someone create is an open and free wikipedia-type-everyone-can-contribute-content project specifically for flashcards.

When I sign up to any SRS I want to be able to point the software to (for example) www.srs-commons.org/topics/programming/languages/kotlin, or maybe www.srs-commons.org/topics/history/south-africa/the-boer-war, or www.srs-commons.org/curriculums/us/grade-10/trigonometry.

Students seem particularly motivated to create a commons of cheating material, maybe they could be similarly motivated to add to a commons of study material.
Yes I'd say it's "unclear to follow" to adversarial (or just nitpicking) people

(Also) because we have a context of a park and of general rules. (Also if you think the ISS is a vehicle on the park you're welcome to try to enforce that)
Why is that?

Why do we accept these company's to basically not do their jobs? It's shadow work. Just like their self-scan registries.
Yeah, I’d love to see a comparison against W-TinyLRU, particularly across many more evaluation axes eg what happens when traffic patterns shift, what if you want to better balance QoS between customers, etc etc etc.

They would simply pay "fair market value" for the rights, though likely there'd be a push for a cooperative between nations which spread the cost widely, making the actual cost to any given nation relatively tiny.

Nope.

Maybe the problem is they are not teaching shit in our schools. No, actually, I am wrong. They are teaching shit. Literally.
I got denied three times in the final interview with different FAANG companies for not doing whiteboards fast enough. Not getting them right; I mean not doing them fast enough. I’ve passed some whiteboards too in other interviews so it’s not that I can’t do them. There’s a lot of variation here.

I've previously written about the idea of serialised access patterns. If we could somehow represent all the patterns of the data we're accessing, we could optimise layout.
Given the spiel at the beginning about how this place is different from where I live and that in this place, there are no rules which trump the park's rules, I can't agree that it's obvious that police, ambulances, and fire trucks obviously don't have to follow the rules. To me, it seems that the framing all but says that they do.
At what point you can't copyright an "AI brain" either?
Maybe AI will at some point create works subject to copyright?
> If you're the park ranger and the local police come into the park in their car chasing after some criminals... If the exact same thing happens but you're having a dispute with the local police

It doesn't matter, the rules on police and emergency vehicles usually supersede some local rule about a park.

The park is not some absolute ruler of the land, sure it can put rules for general/everyday use but a lot of things are rules at higher levels
My result, have no idea what it means though..

Hard disagree.

Following your logic, individual contributors working remotely are not software engineers, which is ludicrous.

The thought process or tools they used to reach a solution is not as relevant as the solution itself. Interviewers shouldn't just review syntax, but efficiency, comprehension, algorithms, creativity, and many other attributes the code itself tells you. After all, these are things we spend most of our time evaluating in code reviews.

Communication is also key, which can be evaluated in a live review of the code. Programmers are usually happy to talk about their code, and here you can assess not only if they actually wrote it, but what tradeoffs they made, what difficulties they ran into, how they would further improve it, etc. This is also a chance for the interviewee to evaluate the company's code review process; what they focus on, how _they_ communicate, etc. It's incredibly valuable for both sides.

What live coding assesses most is the ability to think on your feet, and performance under the spotlight. This is an unnatural state for programming, which requires deep and creative thinking, often done best in isolation. Not to mention that it's heavily biased against individuals with any form of performance or social anxiety, which sends all the wrong signals you don't want when evaluating someone's programming abilities.

AI tools are simply an evolution of the software engineer's toolbelt, and if they're allowed on the job itself, they should also be allowed in the take home assignment.

It's a mistake to create fake working conditions for potential hires that don't exist for actual employees. At that point you're evaluating based on some fabricated environment, and won't be certain what it's like to work with this person, which is the only thing that ultimately matters.
> it's too early to tell how significant it is,

no it isn't. this is definitely significant.

even if putin crushes prigozhin and consolidates his power, that is still significant. there is no way this isn't significant.

unless you believe that it is literally all made up, but russian media is reporting on it. that seems idiotically unlikely.

Well they obviously didn’t do a good job of teaching you what the word “literally” means.
two people are tried for the exact same crime, the lawyers used the same responses, questions, etc. all the discovery and testimonials are equal. The only thing different is the judge, jury, defendant, prosecutor, and defendants lawyer.

could one of these people be acquitted but the other not? Say if one committed the crime so did the other, ie everything being equal except personality and demeanor of key players.

not everything is black and white.
In the olden days of internet forums we would consider this type of thing rules lawyering [1]. The rules were put in place to protect the community from trouble makers and trolls.

The main forum I frequented has a dispute resolution area where people could appeal infractions. It was full of people arguing about this type of stuff over something as trivial as a week long ban from some topic forum. Occasionally there would be an over zealous mod too.

Interestingly while the moderation of increasingly large and consolidated online communities becomes more automated and inflexible I’ve noticed that attitudes to rules around our public spaces have eroded into pure selfishness.

It seems there is nowhere people won’t drive and abandon their cars. Cycle tracks, footpaths (sidewalks) grass verges, parks, playing fields etc. it seems that this is simply accepted.

I’ve seen police and private security lazily patrol around parks where vehicles are not allowed in their cars. There’s no appetite for a physical on foot presence. You rarely see police on the street. The exception was during Biden’s recent visit to Dublin, there was literally a Garda on every street corner for a week.

Our local sports club patrons abandon their cars all over the grass area at the entrance to the local park when there is a half full car park right across the road.

Outside our local supermarket people will leave their cars on the footpath outside the store rather than park in a space mere metres away.

All of this is confounded by a police force (Irish Gardai) that don’t seem to give a damn.

I argued with a guy on Thursday who drove down a segregated cycle lane and up onto the footpath so he could leave his car right outside the house he was visiting. He saw nothing wrong with it. Only when I pointed out the kids trying to get around his car did he finally show some shame for his behaviour. I was furious.

Car brain is a growing problem.

IIRC Violentacerz modded like 50 different porn subreddits, and he did a goob job by moderation standards so he was appreciated by the admins for being the overseer of the porny side of reddit.
As the adage goes, to write fast Python first learn to code in C (or Rust if you prefer that).
But only got accepted by the FSF from 2007. Until that point, (and I think even after that), RMS and the FSF was only concerned about the code that you run on your machine be open source (eg, the JavaScript in your browser) but the code running in some server didn't need to be open source as that did not violated the user freedom.
What if the whole pipeline (scraping for training, the training itself, model distribution, and use to generate derivative works) is found to be a fair use (at least in American law)? Licenses wouldn't mean anything at that point, since it's because of copyright that they can make you accept them in the first place
> But I didn't see a single sentence about how this is different from Anki and why? Why do you want to reinvent the wheel when Anki is good enough?

Well, sometimes "good enough" isn't really the point. People have different tastes and different motivations.

Why did people use Windows before v3.0 when Mac at the time was objectively better? Why did people bother using OS X when Windows at the time was objectively better? Right now, why are people using Mac OS when UI and UX on Windows is objectively better?

Why use Linux circa 1995 when FreeBSD was objectively better? Why use netBSD now when everything else is objectively better?
I get your point. At the same time I find it funny how Linus was checking patches via email deciding what gets merged for the linux kernel. Now, every service needs all the replicated enterprisey festures.

It is not a personal criticism to you. I find it interesting git gave us all this efficiency and the enterprise removes it by adding complexity back because employees supposedly cannot be bothered to learn their tools (or cannot be mandated) or plainly prefer a nicer ui. Not a crime, but I can see how big corporations become inefficient with this type of thinking, when appliend to hundreds of tools and processes.
Replace “humiliated” with “sued”.

At the core of everything people-related a company does or does not do is the fear of a lawsuit, and in the case of interviewees, the only thing that leads to a lawsuit is telling the interviewee anything at all - therefore, no feedback.
> Not having full control over the compiler is generally bad if your product needs to be supported for a long time or has to undergo some type of certification.

rustup, and this mechanism in Go, don't take away your control over the compiler. You can always choose to build your software with whichever version you like.

> Rustup has slowed down rust adaptation in certain industries. Yes, it is technically possible to download a fixed version and stick to it but it will be challenging when the rest of the ecosystem is on nightly...

The vast majority of the Rust ecosystem is on stable, not nightly. Crates that require nightly tend to get limited adoption.

Cars are also very useful.

I had to rent a car 4 times this week, first to move some large items to the recycling station, second to head to animal ER with my cat, third to go to an examination site out on the country side and last to see the vet for a followup.

I've decided to buy one, it'll be expensive but make life easier and most importantly I can get faster help for my pet.
I’m not sure the sign can have one unanimous understanding - which is why we have court rulings to back it up. If you disagree with a sign, take it up with “contemporary society”.

But given a situation where no proper trial is available, the sign could mean “anything”.
It does seem to me that Google is intentionally refusing to test their websites in anything other than Chrome. Even without AI... It can afford to pay a handful of people to test in Firefox and Safari. But will it?
If you're new, it's the same advice as any other field. Find a way to stand out. Build a portfolio, have great grades, come from a good university program, ping contacts from your alumni network, do bug bounties, find and fix issues in open-source, etc.

Twitter moderation has cratered .. reports to the contrary otherwise.

You'll see a fair degree of NSFW porn if you firehose capture all images, on the "hate speech" front (repeatedly calling disabled, minority, indigenous, queer people names, cyber stalking, etc.) it's reached the point where (for instance) Australia has warned Twitter it will start issuing daily fines of up to $7K AUD [1]

The increased porn & veering into CSAM territory is tailwinding that trend.

> Not a need that comes up in actual software development.

I'm not sure. Ability to remain calm and code when shit's on fire can be fairly useful skill at some places (the smaller the company, the more valuable it can be). I've did that, coding emergency patches - e.g. to cache some hot paths when we've got unusual traffic that revealed bottlenecks that we've never hit (and noticed) before. Though I'd say it's a fairly different mental experience than coding at an interview.

Also, actually writing code on a whiteboard is a weird skill outside of academic roles. But most places I've seen asked to sketch some crude pseudocode or - better - draw wavy lines and boxes that represent processes and entities, then talk about it (and I think this is fine, whiteboard here is just a convenient tool).

And, of course, requiring to remember some algorithms from memory is a rarely useful skill. I've coded even in quite spartan conditions (right in a server room, with an ancient CRT monitor and keyboard, plain vim running on a 80x25 text console) but even then I had one or two Internet-connected devices that I could've used to look things up. If a candidate is allowed (or, better, even encouraged) to search for anything they want - it's all good, of course.

Outside of education, no one bothers to remember actual algorithms unless they've used them recently - everyone remembers names and key properties, and optionally remember some core principles (and then either just use them because they're already in a library or popular package, or go look for the implementation details).
btrfs support and snapper snapshots and a huge variety of packages. More if you are willing to use AUR-like Home: packages.
Read it a few times and I do not get what the problem is. Are we talking about copyright for snippets of code? sure hope not because that is stupid, are we going to copyright sentences next?.
Countdown is on for the 30 June switch-off. I’m sure there is plenty more drama to come as reddit seems to have really lost its way.
I answered that 4 were vehicles (contra OP, I included the tank), and still got 11%. I think there must be some issue with the calculation.
> In aus we have laws where if it's <100v and x amperage you don't need a license to work on it

You're the first other person I've seen to point this out. Better even is negotiated power means normally the wire would only deliver 15W which isn't going to burn down anything.

I'm also seeing more and more cordless appliances. A cordless vacuum doesn't need much power when charging.
In my country ambulances are allowed to run red lights, but not speeding. Actually they have their own rules that allow speeding in certain roads if the are in an emergency over their own limit: they are limited to 90 kmh in the motorway, but can go up to 120kmh, like any other car, in an emergency. Over that, they could potentially get a ticket. But AFAIK they can never go over the limits a normal car has.

When I read "obviously" in your parent comment, I though: well, not so obvious. We don't know why the vehicles are banned from this park (extreme cases: there are vehicle mines remains from a war that explodes under big weights. Park is built so ir can't stand so much weight and big vehicles would get trapped), so maybe police and ambulances must proceed on foot for the last hundred meters.
because bats deliver viruses all the time. Chinese people eat many animals bitten by bats all the time.

nothing is obvious-true because someone likes how simple it is. nothing becomes obvious-false because someone thinks it's not simple enough.

any other thinking is pre-chewed lies faking as news.
To be fair this crash is only happening with older kernels. I wouldn’t expect them to test their website in every version of Firefox running on every version of the Linux kernel. Not even Mozilla does that.
It’s a valid point. We might discover FTL and suddenly slack has to work at the federation level and serve trillions of people. This is such a poor design and won’t scale at that point.
Yes however that's no different than just being in multiple calls but just swapping between them (ala skype for business or teams).

It's still exactly one conversation you can be part of at a time. This compares to in person conversation where you can be part of a greater conversation while also carrying on a smaller, secondary conversation with the people immediately adjacent to you.

I've seen some conference software try to address this with a "tables" system where you sit at a table of a few people but are in a greater discussion room. Your table conversation is only heard at the table but the room conversation is heard at all the tables. then the table channel is "open mic" and the room "push to talk" (or both being bound to different "push to talk" buttons).

That kind of addresses the issue but it's awkward and doesn't translate well to anything other than conferences. Maybe a 2d/3d game style environment with range chat would work the best for something like this but I've yet to see an interface for this that isn't miserable outside of actual games. It'd solve the "walk up and talk" issue but it'd add 10 other issues all of it's own.
Maybe the limited number of dependencies? I consider fewer dependencies to be one part of a minimalist approach.
As much as I want to agree with you and I do in principle. My reason for not trusting a degree is because I've first-hand seen degrees being given out like candy. I've seen companies hire degreed individuals and then spend a year training them in a bootcamp before they're remotely productive.

I've seen individuals that can't speak English, can't spell, use punctuation and write a coherent sentence given a degree. I don't want to bring race into this, but it's very much an important issue here in South African universities: there is a huge shortage of black developers. So universities have immense pressure to rubber-stamp pass the black individuals lest they be seen as the "problem" or "racist".
It’s not large groups of humans posting on a given HN story. It is entirely unsurprising to have different moods in different threads, because different people with different opinions are driven towards different stories. It’s not actually the same people saying both black and white, it’s just that HN has a polarised audience on some topics, with both sides quite vocal.
The most bonkers I've started on was for Teleport/Gravitational. Like a 20 hour endeavor with very, very lopsided time investment. The feedback was mostly glib and seemingly from people overworked just trying to check the "I left feedback" box. Passed through two milestones but ultimately the situation soured on me so I bowed out.

Check out the Glassdoor interview reviews to feel better about pretty much any other take-home haha.
(Context: I run Tumbleweed on two desktop machines)

With Tumbleweed you have much more up-to-date packages than with Debian stable. Probably even more than Debian testing a lot of the time. I initially tried it because I had bought a laptop that Debian wouldn't even install on for some reason, so I think it's fair to say support for very recent hardware should be better on Tumbleweed.

The downside is - to me, at least, that there are frequently large batches of updates (hundreds of packages) that take relatively long to install, make reboots (or at least a logout-login for your desktop session) necessary, and on occasion break something. If you have an nVidia GPU (like I do, sigh), every now and then the kernel will be so recent they haven't updated their drivers, causing Xorg to fail.

When something breaks, thanks to btrfs and snapper, one can roll back to the most recent working state, and for me at least, trying again a few days later tended to work again[1]. But it is more "exciting" than life on Debian stable. ;-) On the recent article about OpenSUSE Leap, one user commented they switched from Tumbleweed to Manjaro (an Arch-based distro) which offers many of the same benefits but has worked better for them.

There are differences between Debian and OpenSUSE in general, which I'm not sure I'm the most qualified person to discuss.

Last but not least, the community on the OpenSUSE support forums is very friendly and helpful in my experience, although I rarely have a need to go there.

[1] You can do that with Debian, too, of course. But OpenSUSE uses btrfs for the root filesystem by default and has snapper in the base install.
