yeah, you have to get a third party appraiser but they’re mostly just checking a box

and you can use the last known price as well, the real beauty is that it is not volume weighted

so you get the last price for 1 of that thing, and use that to donate 1,000 of that thing to keep more of your cash, even if it was not possible to realize it for cash

(for the 20% deduction in my example that one relies on cost basis, unless the price has gone down, then its current value)
I’ve had the privilege of refactoring age-old code, and it takes more than two hands to count the number of times I’ve named a class “TestableMegaFoo”, whereby little testable bits of “MegaFoo” have been judiciously migrated to.

There’s another comment in here talking about feng-shui and dragons, I’ll recount the story of “peace pipes” and “killing your enemies”.

It’s tough to find in the modern internet, but I remember reading about Native American traditions of gathering around a piece pipe and applauding your enemies, looking for the good in them, effectively.

The story goes that if you do this enough, your enemy “disappears” and you see them as friends.

So it can be with code. Class MegaFoo simply becomes calls to “TestableMegaFoo”, with a few usual side-effect inducing “less testable components”. Your enemy disappears in a puff of smoke.
That's fine - and I would ignore the sign too but that wasn't the question being asked in this quiz. It explicitly said do you consider a bicycle a vehicle and it is a vehicle by law nearly everywhere.

Many roads nowadays have a "one way only - bicycles excepted" to indicate the road is a one way road but bicycles are an exception to the rule and there's a contraflow bike lane. Most parks that have a no vehicles allowed sign is likely to have a bicycle excepted sign underneath.

Bicycles are vehicles and there is no ackshully that will change that. If you're trying to win an argument with the technicality that everyone would ignore a "no vehicles" sign on a bike that isn't an argument that disproves a bike is a vehicle. All it shows is that a bike is a special vehicle with special rules and exemptions to "no vehicle" signs.
That's a lot more interesting than the article.

No it's just recognition that the problem is PRC has less ariable land and water resources per capita. Relative to other developed economies with comparable restraints, PRC's doing the the same thing of importing calories (and by extention, water) from ag exporters with excess agri resources, except PRC also smart enough to pursue absolute per capita food self sufficiency, hence demand skyrocketed AND domestic production of calories ALSO increased even relative to population increase. Not to mention within PRC capita GDP bracket (i.e. just below high income), PRC system actually delivers more calories and protein comparable to much wealthier countries - average PRC citizen gets to enjoy better diet due to the system.

Yeah right now, organs get cooled, and then one charters private flights for those organs to bring them to their destination.

Also, maybe further research can enable whole bodies to be cooled in a similar way. That would enable a lot of very cool things (pun intended).
Arguably, the fourth amendment, though this would be a rather large departure from its current interpretation. The fourth amendment states that “[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated…” It does not state from whom these violations may not occur, so this clause would not be limited to violations being performed by the government. Therefore, this could be interpreted just as a limitation of the government against violating this right, but also the allowance of the government to prevent other violations.

He was responding to me and that’s a very reasonable response. When I was in the market for your standard enterprise CRUD Enterprise dev jobs, I would have taken a cash compensation of $150K - $160K and zeroed out the equity.

What I wouldn’t do is jump through any hoops like a take home test when jobs in that pay range are (were? I don’t know what the current market is like) a dime a dozen and I could just do one phone screen and a soft skills interview for half a day and get a job making that much.

If a company expects me to jump through hoops that take more time, the resulting reward need to be commensurate with that.

But not all jobs are for all people.
A Cisco Catalyst 6506 can handle 330 Mpps, so you need to have a guaranteed lookup time of about 3ns.

This router was released in 2005, back when a CPU was lucky to have 2MB of L2 cache which had a 10ns access time. So no, you can't just have the routing table in cache. Considering a random read from memory takes in the order of 200 nanoseconds, you're not going to be able to handle that with commodity hardware.

It might be doable in 2023 - but 2023 routers are able to handle way more packages too.

> it was a setup, planned by Putin from beginning to end in order to improve his strongman image and eliminate Wagner as a threat.

So Prigozhin:

- marched unopposed until he was 200 km from Moscow

- military scrambled to build defenses around Moscow

- Prigozhin's forces downed at least two military aircraft

- Prigozhin's forces had an unopposed military presence in Rostov, population 1.1 mln people

In the end:

- deal was supposrdly negotiated by a widely disrespected Lukashenko, not by Putin.

- all charges dropped

How's that strongman image coming along?

This I don't think is very surprising. Unless the defense expects it and has time to prepare, the speeds achievable by military vehicles, especially combined with well-developed road infrastructure of modern urbanized countries, means that the attacker can easily cover large distances fast.

A lot of what Turing did was kept classified or not publicized too much by the British government. They seem to have done a complete 180 on this relatively recently (now that tech and SV are all over the news) and seem to want to brand anything computing related with his name.

Am-I the only one that finds is odd how the British government brags about Alan Turing after what they did to him? Having a government research center named after him seems particularly strange after what they had him endure. The state forced him to undergo chemical castration because of his homosexuality. Same state kept his achievements and contribution to the war effort a secret up until after his death, so they could persecute a war hero without the public knowing about it.

Crazy to think he was convicted in 1952. Same year Elizabeth became Queen and head of the British government. She could have simply overturned his conviction, as British law allowed her to do so. But she and the crown chose not to.

The man saved women, men, children, of all races and orientations from an horrible end. Had he not cracked the enigma's cryptography, there would most likely remain nothing today of the crown that persecuted him. Blown to dust by the Luftwaffe.

If only the British government had extended the same humanity to Turing himself.

Had a similar experience and made it to the 2nd stage, and also got paid for both.

I even took the time to learn enough Perl to write the solution. They said it wasn't required but would be a nice touch. It was an interesting project to work on and it was fun coming up with a solution. I thought it fulfilled their requirements pretty well, but also just got a short "no thanks" email.

I was left wondering for a long time what they didn't like about it..

Someone suggested they may use these interview submissions as cheap labor to get ideas to solve internal problems. I thought that was ridiculous until I reread the disclosure I had to sign at the beginning:

Eh then you’re just running a PC business?

I don’t know the statistics but I feel like that misses a huge market segment. Lots and lots of people just have laptops for school / work that won’t run AAA games. Moreover, lots of people want to game in their living room and, while I know they exist, I’ve never met anyone that hooks their PC up to their TV to do that. Doing so might not even cross the mind of less tech savvy people.

> and presumably just lost most if not all of Wagner

That remains to be seen? Might be that some of their warriors will take the offer to join the military, and others... might select (or be given) new leadership, and go back to Ukraine to resume their regular business there.

If this really was Prigozhin vs. MoD, then that particular issue might be a closed case. Mercenaries are what they are - they're loyal to themselves and money, not state policy. Prigozhin got them to march at Moscow, so they did; then got them to march back, safe and sound, so they did. Russian government can just say "okay, no shots fired, no hard feelings" and leave it at that; it's not like they trusted them in the first place.

Putin angle though, that's a new thing. One way of spinning today's events is that Prigozhin took a swing at the Tsar, missed, and still lived to talk about it. Leaving it at that is not safe for the Tsar.

Funny you mention spaces in flake paths. I was hit by that bug and bumped the PR to address it, and it might be getting merged in soon!
Unfortunately looks like I was right :/
Prigozhin's going to get poisoned / assassinated within 3 months.

I think that depends on how we got here. One theory could be that another country or set of countries paid him to turn against Russia and promised he could live wherever he wants with a nice stash of cash should he accomplish some specific tasks. The reason I think this could be the case is that mercs are generally only faithful to money and anything that gives them more power. I'm sure he realized he did not have a future of money or power in Russia so it might not have taken that much to turn him.
I'm pretty excited by the possibilities. I am astounded by how much these language models can do with nothing but "predict the next word" as the core idea. I imagine in the near future having collections of a hundred different models, physics models, grammar models, fact models, sentiment models, vision models, wired all together by coordination models, and wired up to math tools and databases to ground truth when possible. I think it can get pretty wild.

Just chatGPT wired up to Wolfram Alpha is already pretty creepy amazing.
What do you think about this type convention on back end?
Hello, everyone, homies, ladies, gentleman, turtles. I am making this post before sleeping, please make some good discussion till I wake up.

Ahem.

In the company I currently work for, we use FastAPI, and convention goes like this:

- project root

-- src

--- routers

---- user.py

--- models

---- user_models.py

And, as you already guess lets say we have

async def ILoveMyDad()

router and

class ILoveMyDadRequest(BaseModel):

class ILoveMyDadResponse(BsseModel):

goes into two seperate folders and files.

Which... feels so wrong to me.

In GoLang, I recently started doing something like this:

If I have a struct, lets say

type ILoveMyMomRequest struct {}

and

type ILoveMyMomResponse struct {}

they go right on top of the endpoint

type ILoveMyMomRequest struct {}

type ILoveMyMomResponse struct {}

func ILoveMyMomEndpoint(w http ResponseWriter, yada yada.)

So, no seperate folders and files.

- project root

-- src

--- core

---- users.go

and that is it.

What do you all think about this?

Should a struct go right on top of the function, if that struct is only specific to that function? Or should every struct go into separate folders and files with their common purposes grouped together like users_model.py?

I did not interpret the creator's point to be that rules are unworkable, so much as that rules alone are insufficient. ie, that even the simplest of rules need to be augmented by human judgment.

But rules are still an important ingredient, as they and judgment complement one another.

No, businesses absolutely collude to get out of each others way, and it happens a lot more than you think. Even businesses that are "competitors" often have different aims and goals in the long run. And generally their are banks an wall street that are willing to pick up the tab for businesses that are big enough, even if they are failing. Look at a company like yahoo, or oracle, or IBM. How do they keep existing, when they are essentially zombies running on funding through the public market?

EDIT: To provide context on why the Left finds carbon taxes dubious, it’s that carbon taxes are very likely regressive. That is, they are though to hit poorer people harder:

https://www.nber.org/digest/jan10/how-regressive-price-carbo...

I agree, but I think this is an example of the perfect being the enemy of the good. We can craft companion policies that lessen the regressive nature of carbon taxes, while still maintaining the benefits of carbon taxes.
