That is where the problems have risen, by allowing politics in discussions. There's a very good reason politics and religion were historically banned in forums and groups. It appears we need to learn the lesson again.

Also, moderators are people and they're not perfect. Unfortunately allowing political discussion in also brings out political bias in the mods and it gets out of hand.

Twitter on the other hand pretends we don't need moderation, but then arbitrarily bans people because something. There's no clear guidelines, no consistent behaviour and mod-by-ML is useless in the end. It's a perfect example of 'free speech' implemented by someone who has no real idea what that means.
As a non-American, I find it frustrating how American partisanship hijacked this discussion.

Forget Republicans and Democrats. A priori, a lab leak, at least accidental,.is a totally plausible hypothesis. Evidence is hard to find either way so who knows.

But then these became shibboleths for American polarisation and you can't say "lab leak" without being labelled a white supremacist.

I'm not saying it did or did not happen, only that there is no substantive evidence for any one hypothesis so it's ok to consider other ones.
I love this tool, but the AGPL license means I cannot use it at work due to company policies.

I'm sympathetic and understand the author's reasoning for relicensing it under the AGPL, but I wonder how much that holds back adoption, which is a shame considering how useful the software is.
> Whether these improvements are obvious to you or not is a sign of experience.

In my experience as an interviewer fishing for specific answers is what makes you miss the best engineers.

I used to do this during my peak Dunning-Kruger phase and gave relatively poor marks to an guy who later proved to surpass both me and the rest of the team in every aspect that mattered - even though originally he barely made it through the interview process.

Chiefly, he didn't do things the way we expected because he prioritized.

We recently had this problem in Sweden: There are parking spaces where "Caravans" or "Campers" are forbidden (because they either tend to stay there all day or sleep) - we have a VW T4, it is considered of class "car" in Germany. We still sleep in it. Are we allowed to stay on these parking spaces? We decided: No. Our interpretation was that overnight-stays are unwanted by the local population or government. But the sign wasn't clear. The pictures on these signs also showed no vans, just big campers.

Rules are for the police.

Intent is for the judges / lawyers.
To add my two cents, government required standards should be freely available. If Bob and Joe want to make a proprietary standard, that's fine. If their standard is generally viewed as a sign of good workmanship, that's fine. It's only when a government says that anyone building widgets must follow the standard that it becomes a problem.

If a government wants to write compliance with a proprietary standard into a law, then they should be required to buy or license that standard
Yes? I don’t understand the idea that being allowed to disregard a rule means that you aren’t violating it at all.
Take home assignments are poor indicators of someone's actual software engineering ability. Unless you think of software engineers as some nameless, faceless, machines that you feed requirements into and get code out of.

ChatGPT just highlights how poor of a job takehome assignments do at evaluating software engineering talent because it literally is a nameless, faceless, machine that you feed requirements into and get code out of.

In a live interview with a competent interviewer they're watching to see your thought process, how well you articulate your thought process, how you problem solve, etc. Very little of the interview or their feedback about it should be focused on the syntax of your code.

In addition to being disrespectful of a candidate's time, takehome interviews lose all those important signals.
I don’t find this particularly funny or enlightening. Making rules has always been hard, and I don’t see the author propose a solution to the problem that some people post weird shit on public feeds that we don’t want our young kids to witness.

I’m a veteran dev but I’m new to Go…

The following quotes seem to indicate that “auto” is not the default. At least, not if you haven’t run some command to set it at a default (and I’m not seeing one).

> If the $GOROOT/go.env file is missing or does not set a default, the go command assumes GOTOOLCHAIN=local.

> When GOTOOLCHAIN is set to local, the go command always runs the bundled Go toolchain.

In the intro, however, it does say:

> The default GOTOOLCHAIN setting is auto, which enables the toolchain switching described earlier.

I guess I’m also confused. :/

Note that go.work is only created by the `go work init` command when you intend to use multiple modules in one directory. I’m guessing that doing this is relatively unusual. This could be how a “default” gets set for newer versions (unconfirmed conjecture on my part).

I don’t see any command that creates a `go.env` and therefore might set GOTOOLCHAIN in that file.

The only other thing I can think of is that `go mod init` could set this to “auto” in the `go.mod` of a new project. But, go.env is probably missing in this case.

Weird comment to make on the literal internet, where all the standards (Whether IETF, W3C, or WHATWG) are freely available.
Just because there’s no analytical closed form solution that you can easily invent does not mean it’s a bad idea to have rules. The entire justice system works exactly like that.
Your cited comment doesn't back what the commenter you're replying to is saying. It's just making a generic political statement. It does not have an opinion on the claims they're making.
Hedge funds exist to manage risk. Suppose I offered you a choice of either a guaranteed 10 million dollars, or a 50% chance to win 20 million dollars, which would you choose? Probably option one, now suppose I slowly increase the dollar amount of option two, at what point would your choice flip to the second option? That point will not be the same for everyone, and its expected value minus 10 million is called the risk premium.

Because of the decreasing marginal utility of money, many wealthy people are interested in capital preservation, in other words, they're willing to underperform the market if it means a significant reduction in volatility. Hedge funds can provide this type of service.

> Your job is to determine if this rule has been violated.

I mean, who's surprised that it's not effective to do content moderation by imposing ambiguous rules with a complete lack of training, examples of correct and incorrect enforcement, documentation, context about the rules, why they're needed, why they were created, what problem they were solving...

Going through this is useful I guess, but it seems very low level. But maybe our understanding of content moderation is also very low level.
Since Anki has been coming up quite a bit in the comments, and this is a self-hostable (but not yet spaced repetition) flashcard system, I wanted to note that Anki does let you run your own sync server now: https://docs.ankiweb.net/sync-server.html
It's not BS in the sense they are lying. It's BS because they're wrong.

The reason they end up getting it wrong is usually because they pick something domain related to what the company does. So these guys literally work in that domain every single day of course they know it in and out.

When they throw it at someone completely foreign to the domain it's going to take a longer time to figure it out. Most interviewers just lack the ability to see this.
Indeed. The increased possibility of a “Broken Arrow”, “Empty Quiver” or other scenario is what’s always going to be really spooky.

Aren't those devices also running non-contemporary OSs? I wonder if installing the factory OS would make them seem fast again, albeit at the cost of 8 years of software updates.
My own conclusion is that the rule is not clear enough. Define "vehicle" and "in the park". Sure it's probably hard to think of all the use cases when you first write the rule. Simply iterate and add exceptions and clearer definitions as needed (seems like it's exactly how laws are made, and nobody is saying "we should not have any laws because it's hard to think of all the use cases")

Well, you'd be wrong then. If you went into a car dealership and asked for a new rearview mirror, and they gave you (and charged you for) a new car, you'd be rightly surprised.

Or better yet, if you ask apt get to update a package, you damn sure don't expect it to update itself.

Nothing else works like this, and shouldn't. It's just not what most people need or expect, or even want.
> This tells me that my job is to determine whether the rule allows skateboards and not whether the rule should allow skateboards.

No, it explicitly says your job is to determine if the rule is violated.

It gives you specific examples of where one might impart their personal bias and then says "don't do that." The you impart your bias. You'll notice that there is absolutely nowhere that it says "use your own definition of 'vehicle'" nor does it say "follow the spirit of the law, not the letter."

While I agree with you in principle, that's not what the game asked. But the fact that we disagree is exactly the point of the game. Fwiw, I agree with your definition in practice, but disagree that that's what the rules of the game were. The author was specifically careful to not be extremely explicit because that's what makes the point: that we disagree.

Uh... yeah? Are you aware some parks are dangerous? I just spent Father's day on a narrow boardwalk through a swamp. No vehicles allowed in there of course including emergency vehicles and wheelchairs. If something bad happens, help must arrive by foot. I mean at this point it just sounds like you haven't been to many parks. Parks can vary wildly and so do their rules.

All rules are easy to apply when you're the moderator. Just say "I'm the moderator" and then do whatever you want. That's how US law works. They can say "this is how the rule works", and then a few years later say "hahaha! yeah, that's not how the rule works anymore, now it works this other way".
ESA funding*
I think that's basically true but it's not a conspiracy - take Apple, for instance. They have a $5 billion HQ on their balance sheet. If everyone works from home, then their investors will ask the CEO "why aren't you using this asset that costs $5 billion? It's inefficient - sell it off."

The problem here is that if the CEO sells off the HQ (in a market where everyone has a bunch of unused real estate) they'll almost certainly take a loss (and potentially a loss of billions of dollars, if they e.g. can only sell it for $3B), whereas if they keep it then it's technically valued at what it originally cost to build. The CEO's job is to make the company (look) profitable, so the CEO wants to find any excuse to use the HQ, even if it loses a bit of money or doesn't otherwise make much sense.

For companies that lease, it's the same problem or even worse - corporate office leases tend to be e.g. 3 years, and they're locked into paying actual dollars every quarter until the lease term ends, so if they can't claim to be using the office space then they're directly losing cash. Renegotiating the lease is a bad bet as the landlords have basically zero incentive to do so in the current environment. Thus, they want to appear to use their office space.

There are some other niche benefits too - forcing return to office is a great way to reduce employee count without needing to claim you're downsizing (although if you want to downsize then you can totally make the claim), and it makes office perks more valuable.

There are also some tax breaks from local governments that are contingent on having X number of workers in the office, and WFH could potentially require reversing the tax break.

None of these are "conspiracies", they're just sparkling incentives.

I think if there was large scale adoption of PoE to power stuff outside of network equipment the regs would eventually catch up and it would have similar requirements line voltage wiring. 100W is more than enough to start a fire. 100W at 100V is enough to kill someone. There just aren’t as many regs because it’s new and not widely used. Building codes and standards are written in blood. One an apartment burns down because a bad RJ-45 connector started a fire the codes will catch up.

i could easily see USB 4 Power Delivery Extend Power Delivery and its successor become a de-facto standard. Many electrical outlets are already coming with usb ports nect to standard AC outlets. once that becomes standard on all new outlets you will see many more devices take advantage of that using USB for power then. after that you will see more demand for even higher voltage in future versions of the USB standard. once it reaches a tipping point it will make since to run DC throughout houses and instead of converting from AC to DC for the USB ports it will be reversed converting to ac for the legacy outlet next to the USB power ports
> all you have to do to port code over is change the calls to file selection dialogs (which return a list of file names) to "powerbox" calls (which return handles),

Actually you don't even necessarily need that. Assuming you have operating-system-provided file selection dialogs, you can just return "/app/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e/spool/whatever-the-fuck-it-is.ext", and only allow the app to read and write that directory. Although that's a bit more balky in general, it can handle most use cases without even needing to modify the offending program.
Different rules apply to private vs. public property. I personally believe that is appropriate.
Mirrors my experience.

The job listing promised mountains and that it will take few hours and they’ll take time in their feedback,etc.

except i just got a generic reply that “we’re not satisfied with the solution”. For something that took ~10 hours, i was at the least expecting a vague pointers on whys. I even sent an one pager explaining style decisions, caveats, etc. It was pretty insulting.

And when asked for a follow up, got a more generic bs about how the evaluation criteria is honed from their years of experience and that is not something they share outside.

One good thing that is it made me realise interviewing still sucks and i just stopped looking for jobs.

Are you aware the amount that Red Hat contributes to the kernel? Red Hat has more contributions to the upstream linux kernel (which every distro benefits from, RHEL or not) than just about any other corporation. The amount of testing and stability effort that goes into the kernel would be dramatically reduced without Red Hat, not to mention the code changes themselves.

Just to get a basic idea, [1] has some stats of kernel contributions for the 4.20 kernel, Red Hat had second most changesets accepted. Intel was first, although if you combined Red Hat + IBM then that would push Intel to second. And looking at the core kernel commits (ie ignoring things like device drivers, where hardware companies are making contributions solely for the purpose of supporting the hardware that they sell), the difference was even more skewed towards Red Hat (and interestingly, IBM as well).

And that's just the kernel itself, they're also the primary force behind plenty of other widely used projects (fedora is one of my favorite distros, systemd, for better or worse, it's still used by most distros, and as much as people like to hate on gnome, I have to say I've found it more stable and worry free compared to other options including modern KDE, and the list goes on). Maybe they are not the perfect role model but don't pretend they aren't giving a bunch back to the entire community in many ways.

I felt it was easy too, but I felt that almost every item listed was a vehicle and in the park. If it helps here was my reasoning. To start with I checked the dictionary for a definition and it appears that a vehicle is "A device or structure for transporting persons or things; a conveyance". Then it was a matter of categorizing.
The only one I had to deliberate was the horse, because while it transports persons or things it isn't a device or structure. I ended up saying almost everything was a vehicle and in the park.
