I must admit I have been guilty of doing this in the past. Rather than something negative though it was something positive. I think by telling it over and over it was a way to relive the experience or just express how great it was since I had no one with me at the time. In my case though I genuinely just forgot I told the people the story since I was telling it to everyone and (to me) it was an interesting story. Everyone was polite and didn't remind me that I have already told them the story until one person couldn't bear hearing it another time. It was only at this point that I became conscious of what I was doing.

I know what you mean though. Mentally ill people have a habit of doing this. If you listen in on one talking to themselves you will hear a story of some personal trauma they experienced some time ago.

Perennial victims also do this as a solicitation for love. While as a child we learn to express our bad experiences to our parents and receive love and affection in return. The problem is like drug addicts some people grow up to abuse this to lesser and lesser effect.

When it comes to aggrandizing it can be funny to shut the person down by expressing your disinterest then immediately complimenting them on something trivial that you genuinely like or asking them the question about something you wish to know.

Your comment reminds me of the phrase "People don't do things to you they do things in front of you." It expresses just how performative human behaviour can be at times.
Incredible tool. I've been using it every day for years now and can't imagine using git without it. The speed with which I can stash/unstash, switch branches, rebase, cherry pick or selectively stage is incredible. It's like riding a bicycle rather than walking.

BTW, if you use and appreciate magit, please subscribe and contribute financially (yes, I do that). We shouldn't expect great tools to be maintained and developed for free.
So, you could huff it, smoke it, or inject it legally before you could pump it legally (at least in Portland)? lol
You can. You just get out and start doing it and they leave you alone.
Ceed Civil asked that I pay them off of Upwork to avoid Upwork's fees. I stupidly went along with it because I wanted things to go well with him. I told Upwork about this, and they still keep Ceed Civil on the platform... even though Upwork was also ripped off by this Hoover guy.
I think you mean Matt Levine, rather than Adam Levine of Maroon 5. Though both do have great tone and enthusiasm for their material.

>> Just a heads up to anybody super starry-eyed about fang, I worked 10+ years non-fang, and tried fang, and it was absolutely miserable, one of my least favorite jobs of my career.

Most people I know say the same, but they stay. You can be at a non-FAANG and work for half the pay (and often be just as miserable) or you can work at FAANG, own a house, not worry about money, and often do not much work. Misery is part of the package.
Is liquidity even a real answer? The HFTs only work because the market would be made a moment later. A buyer and a seller already exist. If they didn't, it wouldn't be high-frequency trading. it would just be "trading".

As far as I can tell, it neither benefits us, nor costs us. It siphons off a tiny fraction of money, too small to notice, but large enough in aggregate. Some parasite gets to survive, which is annoying if you look directly at it, but ignorable if you don't.
> don't use an autoclav and forgoe curing.

I haven’t read that. But, that’s not an option. Carbon won’t just cure on its own, ever. It will be a shitty sticky mess forever. It had to be cured somehow.

As to the carbon expiration. I don’t know what that was. I suspect it could be epoxy like in prepreg, but I doubt prepreg here. And it could be shelf life of the carbon itself as it can be hydrophilic in some cases.

It's more clever than that:

You are allowed (per the GPL) to redistribute the sources that they give you on request with the binaries. But as soon as you do that, they will cancel your support contract so you can no longer get any updates (source or binary) as well as support.

Is it legal? I've read informed opinions both ways
When you are hiring in volume, you are hiring for additive value, not for transformative value (nor multiplicative value). For additive value, conformance is essential.

Four approaches to shifting mindsets for decolonising knowledge
>In the context of knowledge for development, what does it require to deconstruct the dominant narratives and personal privileges embodied in our race, class, gender, etc.? And, in a knowledge landscape littered with potential minefields, how do we go about shifting the mindsets that shape the ways in which ‘we’ understand the world and our subsequent values, behaviours, and attitudes?
> Despite claiming otherwise on their homepage (archive.org still has it) they did attach equipmwnt directly to the carbon hull on the inside by screwing (!) to the hull. Result, all the fibers cut by the screws don't take any load whatsoever anymore, increased risk of delaminations (the hull is compressed, the screw on the inside isn't)

I've seen this claim repeated over and over with this single photo [0] with a display mount circled.

It was immediately obvious to me that the pattern of lights on the roof in that photo isn't coming through the 5" hull, but that the monitor is instead screwed into a liner of some sort. Additional evidence [1] seems to agree.

All jobs I applied for that I interviewed for looked at my GitHub specifically, and my past projects, and that was their main topic of discussion in the interview, apart from usual coding questions and such.

What kills me is that the developers they are hiring based on their encyclopedic knowledge of language minutiae and mad leetcode skillz are exactly the ones who will be first in line for replacement with ML-based solutions.

The fitness function used by these companies is so broken it's not even funny. The ability to get things done and ship product doesn't even seem to be on their radar. They are optimizing for dead weight, which is how they end up with these periodic 1000+-person layoffs.
I tend to put it this way: If you are entrepreneurially/leadership- minded and can develop a talent for identifying talent, you can be 10x, even 100x more valuable than any engineer because you become a force multiplier who recognizes real talent and empowers it - and the best part is that everyone else is dragging their knuckles on the ground and obsessed with pretentious gate-keeping. The opportunity level is wide-open.
So the main factor for succeeding those so-called interviews is doing more of them? ie, it has nothing to do with your actual performance on the job.

We should think hard as a society on what we want to spend our time on. At some point in my career I drank the koolaid that joining a FAANG was the most prestigious thing you could do. But now I start to see people working at FAANGs as bureaucratic rule-follower that put their 50 hours of leetcode-grinding (I suspect that they are implicitly filtering for those engineers that will follow tasks without asking too many questions)

> In my opinion, it's getting rather silly.

It's luck of the draw. That's really how it's always been.

If you get bad interviewers, you're in for a bad time.

If you get asked questions you know, you're in for a good time.

It's possible your odds of getting bad interviewers has increased. But I doubt the increase is that substantial.

It's interesting to me how much stock these companies put into hiring, and then let countless terrible interviewers continue to interview.

You'd think they'd recognize high quality interviewers and get them doing more than 1 interview per week, and not let people interview until passing a pretty high bar in the quality of their interview.

Instead, they pretty much let anyone interview (as long as they've been at the company for N months and gone to some training).
Good to know! The only country I can confirm on that list having attendants is Thailand.
I posted this above. ConsumerLab does this testing on all sorts of products and foods. They are a non-profit. The annual fee you pay supports the research and testing directly.

They tested many brands of both spice and supplement for lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury, and published the amounts they found in each brand:

https://www.consumerlab.com/reviews/turmeric-curcumin-supple...

Of great importance lately was their discovery of benzene in many common sunscreens which forced many product recalls. I used their findings to change brands for my entire family.
I’m pretty familiar with the “luxury apartment” offerings in the Bay Area and they’re pretty much all steel towers or wood 5-over-1s. I’m told 5 stories is the standard because that’s what you can make out of wood; an extra story or three isn’t worth it with the shift to more expensive materials.

Some of the steel towers have their cheaper apartments in wood podiums; have to be careful.

I live in a 10-story condo. 9 or 10 stories seems about the lowest not to be made out of wood. Even these are very rare compared to <=5 or >=15.
You’re not in their sales funnel and lots of things look healthy from the outside that actually are not.
>> All of the FAANGs are various levels of unethical, or a net negative for society in my estimation. No more interviewing there for me.

Feel the same way, until you realize you've cut out half the jobs in the process. Also, wait till you see how much it sucks when loser startups offer you 90kbase + XYZ illiquid options.
I recently discovered an even cheaper wifi + ble chip that's widely used in the Tuya Devices called Beken (they migrated away from Espressif it seems). I can't find much info on it so guessing Chinese IoT companies have to buy them in bulk. They also have an sdk I'm guessing for HomeAssistant users called OpenBeken.

Millions of young men are knee deep in the "incel" and "manosphere" community. This community is transparently hateful towards women, views them as objects who have no free will and follow very simple rules, and they only exist so you can sleep with them and then they parasite off you forever.

Where is this supposed man hating community?
> If you want the best of both worlds (although this sounds like what you are already doing), I'd suggest hosting your own server, but then using Amazon SES as the outbound email relay. Amazon's outbound costs are very very cheap, and that's what you need the reputation for anyways.

The only thing I'm actually interested in is sending transactional email. I actually think paying a managed provider for it is the most pragmatic approach, but it seems like the existing providers are all pushing the limits of charging what the market will bear and, based purely on subjective info I've seen online, the margins aren't even close to anything resembling fair value (for me).

If there wasn't so much business and technical complexity related to bringing your own IPs, the $10k ish (?) it costs to buy a /24 starts to look like a reasonable expense when put alongside the pricing of a lot of email sending services.

Isn't there a MASSIVE difference between "you are not allowed to breed because we don't want you and think you're inferior" vs "you did a course and have worked hard and have clearly demonstrated your commitment to rearing a child carefully and thoughtfully, here is some state-sponsored fund to help you "

Drawing an equivalence between these two is like saying a school system that punishes mistakes with physical abuse as a matter of policy to make a smarter population is identical, morally speaking to society at large, as a school system that just rewards good and hard work as a matter of policy to make a smarter population.

It makes no sense. I can't believe anyone could actually believe rewarding parents who have demonstrated a commitment to rearing a child well is identical to enforcing undesirables not have children.
No one is saying porn is good for children. What an incredible strawman.

The article states the cause as more SUV's without real evidence... My guess is the real cause is simply people using cell phones while driving. Or the great reduction in law enforcement the last two years.

>There is no magic sauce in web development, but it does take a particular type of agency to be able to make good pages with a focus on the end-user. Maybe to you and I such a site is relatively simple to set up. But that is NOT the NPS's strong suit at all, and it would be a forever uphill battle to convince their administrators and the Department of Interior and Congress to focus on usability. I doubt many of them have ever tried to book their own reservation.

This is exactly why the private option is just as bad as the apathetic public one: in the end they are the same end result of a less than optimal ui/ux because they come from the same underlying issue of an administration that prefers to either not deal with it appropriately or toss the hot potato to someone else to take the blame of not dealing with it appropriately.

I still stand behind my stance that its not impossible to make a good website in house, and that bringing in outside profiteers is always a mistake compared to hiring those same exact project managers with those same exact visions for the website on an internal basis.
I have been teaching my toddler Bengali and it's hard going. His mother has been trying but struggling to learn it. Much of the time if I say something to him I need others to understand what I'm saying too, so I have to revert English.

Recently I've started to refuse to give him what he wants unless he asks in Bengali (and helping him to do that). Exactly because I want him to be able to speak as well as understand.

My goal is to make him bilingual, as I believe that will help with further language acquisition in the future. It seems really obvious to me that his mother struggles with this _because_ she's monolingual.

I'm getting used to it but it's taken a couple of years of very conscious effort to get this far.

100%. The NPS is fundamentally a balance between the desires of the taxpayers funding to conserve this land who also want to visit it and the inherent need to keep this land as untouched as possible to keep their rugged, wilderness feel and to preserve the ecological diversity in the area. All the while not leaving park visitors to die due to bear attacks or a fall causing a broken bone. It's a very difficult job. Restricting access and offering lotteries is also in my view inevitable.
Red Hat has even been making this easier for the last few years...

Back in 2003, when they discontinued Red Hat Linux (RHEL's predecessor) and locked binary RPMs behind a subscription (to similar outrage), the clones didn't have an easy time. RHEL's build process was behind closed doors and doing rebuilds meant reverse engineering the proper build order. This is why CentOS major versions took quite a while to appear after the corresponding RHEL releases (and made CentOS a major effort).

Since Red Hat assimilated CentOS, and culminating with CentOS Stream becoming the upstream for RHEL itself, the build system became unified.

This is highly valuable. That clones aren't taking advantage of this to jumpstart themselves into independence (and ensuring the Red Hat ecosystem has a future, with or without Red Hat) is just sad.

Interesting; how has that worked for you?
I don't understand the claim that SUVs are the cause of increased pedestrian deaths.

I understand that SUVs are more damaging to pedestrians when hit, but it doesn't look like SUVs are contributing to pedestrian deaths any more than other vehicles. From 2012 to 2021 the percent of pedestrian deaths caused by SUVs went from 17% to 24%, but the production share of SUVs also jumped from 21% to 45%. The share of SUVs on the road will lag production, so it would be better to compare number of vehicles or miles driven, but it's difficult to find that data. I did a few estimates and I keep getting the surprising result that fewer pedestrians are killed per registered SUV than registered sedan, pickup, van, or truck.

There's a lot of other good data. Deaths are largely increasing in adult populations (20-69 years) while children are safer than ever. (Pedestrian deaths per 100,000 people by age, 1975-2021: https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/pedes... ) Deaths are most likely to happen when it's dark (77% from 9 pm to 6 am, more deaths in winter than summer), and from 2010 to 2021 deaths during the day increased 30% but deaths at night increased 86%. Increasingly deaths are occurring in urban areas (84%). And most of those killed are men (75%).

Terraformer Mark One – cheap natural gas from sunlight and air
Using Taleb's nomenclature, let it crash is not anti-fragile at run time. Erlang does not get progressively better at holding your code together the longer it crashes. It is only resilient and robust. Which is ahead of a lot of environments, but that's all.

Many software development processes considered as a whole are anti-fragile... mine certainly is, which is a great deal of why I love automated testing so much (I often phrase it as "it gives me monotonic forward progress" but "it gives me antifragility" is a reasonably close spin on it too)... but that's not unique to Erlang nor does Erlang have anything special to help with it as everything Erlang has for robustness is focused at run time. You can have anti-fragile development processes with any language. (The fact that I successfully left Erlang for another language entirely is also testament to that. I had to replace Erlang's robustness but I didn't have to replace its anti-fragility, since it didn't have it particularly.)

I would love to talk about my github projects with an interviewer - hell, I'd also love to talk more about my past systems than their hypothetical ones - but like the parent post, I've found it pretty rare. Past projects maybe 15% of the time at medium-to-large companies (500+ person), and so far am batting 0.000 for "asked about personal projects", including at FAANG interviews.
> A thought occurred: maybe there are now fewer people per household. This however does not hold up to scrutiny either

what do you mean? it makes perfect sense given the definition of household that it'll be extremely similar to the number of houses. The ratio you're talking about is exactly a reduction in the average number of people per household.
The problem with competition is, what happens after someone wins it? This is essentially what has happened in many markets; lots of small companies have been killed by or conglomerated into giant ones that rule the market. Sometimes antitrust regulation can't even help with this; what if there are no acquisitions, just one company doing stuff better killing all competition?
If the cities were net-negative economically, there'd be a net outflow of people from them (As anyone who can't make ends meet on the margins would pack up, leave, and create those vacancies.)

Yet, that's not the case. There's an economic pull to cities, the are, on the net, more productive than the countryside (Because the proximity of people makes the cost of bringing goods and services to market very, very low.)

The cost of land, in the long-term, rises to meet the economical productivity of an area. The reason that cities are so damn expensive is because they are productive.
My pro-tip if you want one of these jobs and are not great at leetcoding, try to get another role at the company and then transfer over.

Apply as a data analyst, theres no leetcoding, you just need to demonstrate sql knowledge and experience working with the business. And faang data analysts are paid as much as many non-faang engineers.

Once you are in, you will be working with engineers, just do a good job, and express interest in working on the software team. The bar will be much much lower than an external candidate.

I would say 20-25% of engineers at these companies come from a non-traditional route like this.
I will agree with this. Leetcode style interviews identify the "rule-followers", "not-going to rock the boat" type of engineers. That's what FAANGs need, not innovators and leaders.
