I've found that engineering culture rarely matches how HR/recruiting works, especially as companies grow but even in startups often times.
APIs weren't copyrightable before Oracle v Google. There was plenty of precedent saying that. For example, before they were called Oracle, they built a clone of IBM SEQUEL.

The main concern with Oracle v Google was that the court would ignore or misinterpret the existing precedent.

A secondary concern was that a Google employee formerly worked on Java at Sun (and/or Oracle), and copy-pasted some implementation source code from oracle to google's code bases. There was a real possibility the "APIs aren't copyrightable" precedent would stand, but the courts would rule that Google couldn't continue distributing Dalvik.
Here is the problem with the majority of comments I see in the wild.

They just repeat what the code is doing. And they are often wrong, because they are not functional, they don't cause compilation errors and they don't cause crashes and make tests fail, so errors in the comments tend to go unnoticed. It is so bad sometimes that I trained myself not to read comments as they can be deceptive.

Comments are a side channel, and IMHO, strictly a side channel. They can be used to express what can't be expressed in code. A common usage is to explain why you chose a solution over another.

I have absolutely no problem with "if" statements, I also think too much indirection is cancer. I have a problem with booleans parameters however. They tend to result in confusing and error prone calls like style(true, false, true), instead of something like style(ITALIC, NO_BOLD, UNDERLINE). In C/C++, I then use "switch" instead of "if". The advantage of "switch" is that the compiler warns you if you forgot a case, you also avoid to problem of accidentally reversing the condition. Make sure your compiler warns you of unintended tall through too.

Sorry don’t see how they messed up anything. They state the requirements and they give the set of characters meeting one of those requirements. The wording could be improved but that doesn’t rise to the level of “messed up” any more than 99% of the Internet is messed up.
It’s not like the behavior is completely incongruent with any reasonable interpretation of the instructions. That would be messed up.

“ So initially it failed on no special characters in my input. Oh well, easy fix, open up the settings, add the special characters group, and regenerate. Hmm, still no special characters?”

Not sure why you assume there is a standard definition of “special character”. There isn’t. I’m surprised it took you this long to stumble upon this if you use a password manager, but there you have it.

The usual blood pressure measure instruments[1] work AFAIK just like the "old" manual way, what is measured is the (air) pressure in the band, though they use an oscillometric (tiny variations in the pressure) approach to detect the heart beats as opposed to the stethoscope (auscultatory).

The idea (the traditional way) is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphygmomanometer

1) you place the stethoscope between the arm and the inflatable band

2) you pump air in the band

3) at a certain pressure you will start hearing the heart beats

4) you continue pumping until you cannot hear them anymore + a little bit more

5) you start slowly release pressure until you can hear the heart beats (at this point what you read on the manometer is the max pressure or systolic)

6) you continue slowly releasing pressure until you cannot hear the heart beats anymore (at this point what you read on the manometer is the min pressure or diastolic)

The electronic device replace the hand pump with an electric pump, the manometer with a pressure sensor and the stethoscope with the capability to detect oscillations in the pressure from the same sensor.

See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure_measurement#Aus...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure_measurement#Osc...

I believe that the issue in a home made electronic device is not so much the sensor but rather the conversion from raw data of the sensor (oscillometric waveform) into heartbeats and the speed with which the band is inflated and deflated (size and speed of pump, accuracy of the release valve).

Yes there is ... It's pretty obvious to the younger generations, we are living in an age with the largest wealth inequality in the history of humanity.

Tie in the fact that the average salary can't support the 'traditional' lifestyle, and the desire for 'traditional' dating expectations. And now you have men checking out for one of many reasons, for example: not making enough with the right type of career.

And personally I see an unsustainable desire in women my age to travel. So instead of saving for the outcomes they might want (marriage and kide), an expectation that the man will provide the necessary support.
Keep yourself open to meet that person.

I think marriage is overrated. Just a construct of society.

You can have kids with a partner, but really no reason to formalize it with “marriage”. I guess there are tax reasons though that make it more logical though.

Witcher 3 came out on PC at the same time as consoles. CDPR has a long history with PC gaming and they tend to emphasize the PC experience. They also own GOG which is a PC game store/platform. RDR2 on the other hand was indeed a timed console exclusive.
Hey bud. Just an observation. You come off as a lot less joyful and selfless than you think you are.
No, during a war and martial law, it’s best not to let enemy sympathizers run your government. No one gets free elections if Russia annexes you.

Democracy isn’t a suicide pact; you don’t have to let Hitlers take power in a crisis. Ukrainian law provides for martial law, and their Supreme Court upheld the bans. That’s democracy functioning too.
I thought so, but only if you work for the government. The private power companies have done a lot of layoffs and not hiring much back.
>Telling the average person anything except "vaccines save lives" is already a bit like telling a child that Santa Claus...

I don't think that's true. I find people are fine with saying the covid vaccines have side effects, some people die of blood clots, they don't prevent all infections etc. In fact if you lie about that you come across as phoney.

On the other hand in spite of that vaccines save lives in most cases. With covid ones they saved a lot with older people but were a bit marginal with 20 years olds say.

What is unacceptable is pushing lies that cause a bunch of people to die unnecessarily. There's an estimate about 234,000 Americans died unnecessarily of covid through not getting vaccinated, which is quite a few. I'm ok personally with JFK jr getting booted from youtube to twitter to try to reduce that stuff a bit. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/21/quarter-u...)

I would also like to add that part of the value of Fusion 360 and similar packages is that they use either the Parasolid Kernel (developed by Siemens), or the ACIS Kernel (developed by Dassault Systemes), or a variant (I think AutoCAD has their own ACIS fork from long ago). If you use either of those kernels, you can handle incredibly complex geometry (or even just things that seem simple but aren't, like Fillets) with ease and good compatibility with other programs. Both of those kernels started development in the late 1980s. Parasolid alone claims over 350 3D Programs license their system.

FreeCAD uses OpenCASCADE, because it's the only free option. You will notice that almost no other 3D Program, paid or free, uses it. OpenCASCADE is, compared to Parasolid or ACIS; buggy, broken, incomplete, unergonomic, and obsolete. There is almost no commercial software that uses it - they all find it better to license Parasolid or ACIS despite the heavy royalties those packages require.

This puts FreeCAD in kind of a chicken-or-egg situation. The geometry kernel they use is considered unanimously inferior to the licensed kernels for almost every task, to the point that even people building new CAD programs (like the recent Plasticity beta) don't even consider it as an option. The 3D packages that license the kernels think that rebuilding ~35 years of work with extremely complex math equations requiring dozens, or even hundreds, of PhD-level math professors is too much work to justify not paying a license fee. To them, it's like saying we should rebuild Windows, but it's PhD-level math instead of APIs.
> a S-350 Vityaz anti-aircraft missile system shot down a Ukrainian aircraft whilst operating in a fully automatic mode

That's the perfect example in favor of using "killer robots". I'm fully against Putin's invasion of Ukraine, but this is a legitimate military act. The risk of downing a civilian aircraft was zero. In a combat zone, the only flying objects are either friendly or enemy. Having a autonomous anti-air system that fires when an enemy aircraft is identified is not any different from having a landmine that explodes when a tank passes over it. If anything, land mines are more problematic, because they stick around after the end of hostilities.
A lot of it's down to a paradigm conflict. In general, if statements are fine. But they're not really considered to be object-oriented. Smalltalk technically doesn't even have an if statement.

I will say that, when I see object-oriented code that branches on the particular subclass of a value at run time, it's often one of the earlier sign that the code is getting messy. Subclassing is supposed to be used for a "don't ask, tell" style of programming. A lot of the problems with OOP that people like to complain about aren't really problems with object-oriented programming, per se; they're problems that crop up when object-oriented and procedural programming are mixed in an uncontrolled manner.

> in order to simulate accurate real-world traffic, which you probably want when writing a load/performance test

I think the mismatch here is that Hurl is closer to being a http testing tool, not a load-testing tool, so most of these features are unnecessary.

Taking the example from the front page:

GET https://example.org

HTTP 200
[Captures]
csrf_token: xpath "string(//meta[@name='_csrf_token']/@content)"

Character for character, most of this is bog-standard http verbs, a url, and an html path string. The Jetbrain HTTP tool also sports very similar interface, and I believe there’s a VSCode plugin somewhere that does a similar thing.
Is it? If you are married then you no longer have to report your parents income when applying for financial assistance in college. Since most college students are dirt poor, this means you almost certainly qualify for a Pell Grant. I’ve often thought that friends or roommates (of any gender) should get “married” at the beginning of school to qualify for Pell grants and then amicably divorce at the end of college. Is it fraud? Absolutely. But a type of fraud that is not going to be looked at.
I’ve gotten jobs both ways. Ironically(?) the one I liked the best was when I applied randomly online and the one I hated the most was through my network.

The PC gaming market is actually bigger now than it was back then.

The difference is that consoles didn't really start to become viable for the FPS genre until the Xbox/PS2 generation (and even then it was really just Halo).

So an FPS was PC exclusive by default with only the biggest games getting a clumsy console port or spinoff years later (like FarCry Instincts). Consoles became a first class citizen in the world of FPSes with the 360/PS3 generation in the mid-2000s. That's why FarCry 1 (2004) was a PC exclusive but FarCry 2 (2008) released on consoles and PC at the same time.
So this doesn't even factor in people that are living togheter, like in a registered partnership (that is how we call it in the Netherlands) or other form?

On the cost and time scale of military hardware, it's not out of the question for them to make new copies of the old asics.

Most of those ics can be replaced with a single FPGA today.

Also, the DoD actually owns and operates their own semiconductor foundry in Sacramento that is specifically and deliberately setup to manufacture old and obsolete ics needed by the military.

So yes, there are challenges to sourcing them, you can't get them from digikey, but there is a whole infrastructure built up to keep supplying and or replace these things with fpgas or whatever

Pretty much. And people I did mentor wandered off after like 2-3 sessions (into which I put a ton of time), or they got a lot better during a project we worked on together, went off to do other projects, and a year later, I was correcting the exact same mistakes.

> misleads youth in thinking they can make their own reality and that there are shortcuts to success for all.

Many people, like myself, are not shooting for "success". We just want to live and hang out with our family and friends. That is success. And the economic structure makes that impossible because everyone else has the idea that success means having to figure out if they can retire on $3.5 million. But in doing so it affects people like us who want to retire in the place we grew up with our family. But people who this "success" is having a lot of sht come in and buy a house and turn it into an AirBnB rental.

The reality is that capitalist advertising keeps pushing the idea of what success is out further and further. So don't blame "the youth" blame people like yourself for telling everyone else what success looks like.

> I personally knew several women in their late 30s and 40s who ended up leaving partners or leaving the dating scene because the men they were finding were not interested in or capable of being fathers.

Perhaps they weren’t interested in the challenge and issues that come with a woman in her late 30s and early 40s attempting to conceive a natural healthy baby while risking her own life as well. I bet these men in a similar age range of these women are looking for partners and potential mothers in their 20s and early 30s. There’s less of chance of issues and conceiving is much much easier as the women aren’t premenopausal.

I'm given to understand that various US states have less recognition of common law relationships (as we call that in the Anglo-Saxon world) than e.g. Canada or European countries.
US weapons are designed to be continuously upgraded with new technology as it becomes available. The current weapon carrying the Stinger name (FIM-92) is state-of-the-art and has more capable terminal guidance than MANPADS like Starstreak (which is a beam rider).

The introduction date of US weapons has little bearing on their sophistication due to the Ship of Theseus upgrades, and most were a decade or two ahead of their counterparts when released anyway. Most can be upgraded or downgraded to a specific version/standard on demand. Downgrades are commonly done for export of US military inventory.
