I also ask the same question. Because of my current industry, usually with the caveat that they have to be able to get into some technical details without breaking NDA.

Some of my favorite other questions are:

1 - You're diving into one of our repos for the first time and you need to add X feature. Let's assume everything is perfect, what would you want to see in the repo and what are your first steps in learning the code?

2 - Tell me about your favorite bug? It doesn't have to be one you caused. And it doesn't have to be a super technical obscure bug. Just your favorite bug.

3 - What are some of your personal philosophies when it comes to programming. In other words: What are some of your opinionated takes. I understand, when working here you'll follow company policy. But what if you were the person who wrote the company policies.

All are great jumping off points for further discussion and open up a lot of followup questions. I find they're pretty hard to fake after the conversation goes on for more than a minute or so.
Being in that class of people, I’d contend Felix Dennis’ view of what wealth is is poor.

It may take a decade or two, but individuals in these professions who work at top tier roles will be wealthy by any reasonable measure (7-figure investment portfolios and no bad debt is “wealthy” to anyone without a very uninformed understanding of what the word means).
The hard cases are when one person’s freedom conflicts with another’s. Like my right to own firearms vs your right to be safe, or my freedom to run my polluting business vs your freedom to have a clean environment, or my freedom to ignore lockdowns in early 2020 vs your freedom to get care at a hospital with capacity.
Current emissions are like 40 billion tons. So if you built like a 1000 of them you would make a sizable dent in emissions. 1.2T might sound like a lot, but global GDP is over 100T. Spending 1.2T to keep the climate steady seems well worth it.
>The reactor activates for the first time after the initial orbital launch.

So they're going to launch an untested reactor into orbit without even turning it on first? Getting a reactor up and running is hard enough on the ground. I would expect any reactor to have had thousands of hours of testing and tweaking before being placed on the launch pad; that is the process for military boats and we have 60 years of experience in that environment.

SIDS ;;

This reminds me of what the believe the cause of SIDS to be: a pocket of co2 around the infants breathing-bubble where they are just recirculating the CO2.

So, I wonder if the infants dont yet have the ability to startle themselves back awake... but adults do.

I have had two people close to me who have had SDIS babies, and its horrifying.

That seems like a waste of propellant.

Once the reactor has cooled enough that you won't get the desired exhaust velocity, couldn't you allow it to finish cooling down by radiative cooling?

Many european "copyright" laws do not talk about copies at all.

A summary of stance of polish law on copying a copyrighted work can be given as "feel free", with an annoying bit about "circumventing effective copy protection" that got pushed in (note that "effective" results in funny legal discussion of whether a broken DRM system is effective).

What is controlled is distribution. I can have my house overflowing with all sorts of copies of disney movies, including derivative works made by myself, so long as I do not actually distribute them beyond myself.
I think it’s more like an adhoc graph that’s more dependent on the task than the organization. Tree based management is only useful for reporting and dictates. The actual work is more like “I need to get X done, I need to work with I,j,k to do it.” Often the real issue is NOT that it’s N^2 interactions, but the space for identifying who I,j,k actually are is quadratic and there’s no index. This is often the immense value of “lore masters” in a team - they have an unnatural ability to know who to talk to about what. If you don’t have one in your team, get one.
Yes but there is also the inverse carrot problem. E.g. if the pilots have radar, they are more liable to rely on it and neglect other aspects of flying. Similarly in business, it is simply harder for folks who grew up rich to develop the level of grit that comes natural to the less privileged.

I may sound like a rich apologist, but please believe me when I say it is harder to spend 10 hrs a day cranking on a risky startup if you know you can be clubbing with daddy's money
Agreed. Although, sometimes it feels like this is a losing battle. I've worked with too many people who see that level of separation as "unneeded duplication", with constant complaints about having to update a bunch of different layers "just to add a new field.

IMO, at a minimum, you have your API layer model, your internal model, and your database model with a mapping layer at each boundary.

I rarely have problems when I structure it that way, but when working on applications that pass the same model from their API down to their database, or vice-versa, it's always full of the same types of problems that comes with tight coupling.
How to Solve It (1945) by George Polya
I haven't used Nix but I do use Guix extensively. I love the system philosophy of both distros. Rollbacks have saved a lot of time when something went wrong (when I was already reaching for my USB rescue stick to chroot into the OS but then remembered that I could just boot the previous config from the GRUB menu!). Having the system config in a file is awesome and one ups third party configuration management tools that I have been using for years. Those tools like Puppet and Salt don't have the base OS config, so you're kind of only halfway there and you're not rolling back mistakes, you're applying new code to fix it.

As I've gotten into some Guix development lately, I've come to better understand the inspiration that Guix has taken from Nix and still does (and perhaps vice versa). I wish the Nix project the best in working through its issues (real or perceived) because I think a healthy Nix is healthy for both projects.

Agree. Seems highly irresponsible to make such claims without demonstrating and validating them. Would also like to see how much it hallucinates or how closely the generations are to source data.
Or, it gives a guide for the problems to avoid and figure out strategies to solve for to avoid that path. But, yes, if the article were written that way, I would have agreed with it more. But it wasn’t :-)

I'd just post the videos in public. The riders will hopefully get fired from their jobs as their employeer's can't handle the controversy and quickly people will learn that sex is a robotaxis is sex in public and learn to behave.

I have no problem if you buy your own level 5 car and have sex in it. I have a much bigger problem with people having sex in shared vehicles that are not cleaned between riders.
Low-level work is absolutely a thing. For example, I have used automatic translation tools to translate documentation and comments in source code. The results aren't perfect, but they are instant and much better than nothing. The ground truth of the source code is right there as well, so potential errors aren't a significant concern. Having to send translation requests over to an actual human translator every time would have been slow, expensive, and disruptive for my workflow.

Then there is just simple stuff like ordering a product off a Chinese or Japanese site without an English translation. Increasingly they are just machine translating their product descriptions themselves, but it wouldn't be economical to have a human do that for thousands of SKUs.
I use nix with flakes, have written a couple of flakes day to day use. I am not a nix power user. But based on my current understanding this statement seems incorrect

> Flakes are tightly coupled to Git.

How is it tightly coupled to Git if it supports Mercurial out of the box?

Other than using version control to determine what are the sources of the derivation, what does flakes lean on version control?

Hiring managers from a bigger org into a startup is the easiest trap I've seen companies fall into. And the more experienced the manager and the more successful the big-co, the worse it gets - but also, the more seductive it gets especially if the founder feels like they personally are a bit out of their own engineering management depth.

Everything needed to keep a giant super-successful post-product-market-fit company running smoothly and reliably as, say, a VP at Google, is completely the opposite of what you need to move fast when you're trying to figure out how to thrive (or even just survive).

I haven't worked in one of those "this is like a startup inside a big-co" places that you often hear about, but I imagine it's why those struggle to compete with actual startups. It's hard to act like you are facing existential risk when you just plain aren't.

I use home-manager on Ubuntu on my work machine. You have to pay the full learning curve of Nix. Once you do, it works just fine. I think there comes a natural pressure to use Nix for as much as possible and slowly cut down one's dependency on the "base" system when you go this route. Maybe that's just because I want to see my investment in Nix pay off.

I would say that the biggest benefit you get is the hugeness and currentness of nixpkgs and the fact that it becomes a lot less important what software you have "installed".
How can we use this to push doctors to be better doctors? Maybe if somehow and AI reviewed the doctors decisions?

Or maybe if doctors are required to provide a transcript of their observations and decisions and gives that to the patient who can then fact check it with gpt?
> they can still fail

Of course. I never wrote otherwise.

Many successful people I know failed multiple times.

> "it was their own fault, they should be smarter about it."

The successful people I know who failed multiple times and eventually succeeded all blamed themselves for the failures, with "I should have been smarter about it".

The great thing about taking responsibility for one's failures is it is empowering - it means you can succeed by learning why one failed and doing it better next time.

You could consider it like airliners. Crashes are not attributed to "bad luck". The cause is always searched for, and once found, it gets fixed. Over time, this has resulted in incredibly safe airliners.

We're better off without any other defense from viral infection?

We have no other defense from measles except vaccination? Are you saying that, for measles, quarantines are ineffective, isolation is ineffective, negative pressure rooms are ineffective, contact tracing is ineffective? And we're better off because those are ineffective and we only have a single layer of defense?

I'm a trained and experienced Cybersecurity professional, and by analogy to our Defense in Depth concepts, we're better off when there are multiple effective, overlapping, simultaneous defenses against some kind of attack. I think it would be foolish to abolish other defensive measures against measles only because vaccines are allegedly so effective.

I don’t know the value of half-assing it, but committing your full ass is amazing. Don’t abandon a working system, but the next time you wait a whole three weeks to pacman -syu and your GPG keys are out of date and everything goes to hell… give it a shot.

It's fine, just be sure you know where your tools are coming from (use the which command a lot when unsure). Nix might have more up to date or bleeding edge software, although since you're on arch in my experience nix can lag even arch by a little bit.

Fully reproducible environments with home manager and nixos are neat but IMHO you can just use ansible to do the same thing on debian, arch, etc. if those systems have the packages you need.

When you inevitably find software that isn't in nix (or are packaging your own software), be prepared to take a quantum leap in complexity as you now need to fully understand the nix language and its concepts like derivations. This isn't necessarily hard but it is not documented well at all, and there are factions in nix at odds with each other (flakes vs. nix-env) which make learning it even more confusing.
I think it would be a good idea to consult with an attorney about your product description. You have to be extremely careful about making medical claims. The fact that you're so careless about this makes me concerned about your ability to judge its medical advice.
Are you aware of any easy to install distros with such kernels?

You can’t coach what you don’t know. And the reality of leading an engineering team is that when your team members actually seek your opinion on a problem, you have to know the specific solution to specific details, not general patterns.
This is an amusingly naive take. Clinical decision support software has existed for 20 years, and some types of healthcare groups mandate the use of those tools. Moreover doctors all take notes and in many places those are available through patient portals already.

Total Commander is so amazing I keep a Windows VM around just to use it over a network share. Haven't found anything that would come close for rapidly manually categorizing a lot of files. It also uses (minimal) GUI features really well, e.g., compared to Far Manager, a TUI program, it has tabs in default config, shows icons, and uses variable-width fonts in listings and search for increased information density.
That’s the trick isn’t it? As “the boss” I’ve been able to self create my culture around me so it’s been easier. I have landed in management teams that were so oppressive I couldn’t even then. I’ve watched my peer leaders for signs. It’s very hard in an interview to know where you’re landing.

A few things I’ve noticed that might help:

* ask people in the team what they do and how they work, and how the team helps them work best. If they answer “oh I’m a programmer 2” and have wishy washy answers on the rest, that’s a bad sign. They’re being managed by a “by the book” manager. If they describe some complex role that isn’t out of the HR leveling guide, and a unique way of working that’s accommodated by the team, that’s a good sign. If you hear everyone in the team describing a role that’s unique and tailored to them, then that’s a great sign.

* this is controversial but I think any org that slavishly follows modern day agile / scrum can not be dynamic. Nothing more to say other than back in the 90’s Bay Area hanging with thought works and those folks, agile was something very different than today.

* the manager themselves should be very open to questions with thoughtful answers that aren’t rote. They should likewise spend more time understanding you than usual. They should be assessing your fit in their team - do you fill a gap? Do your weaknesses complement others strengths? Are you looking to turn the crank or are you looking to innovate?

Also, be aware of yourself. Not everyone does well in a dynamic environment. It’s more chaotic and less structured. If you like clearly defined and regimented work, go for the clearly defined and regimented team.

For example, Flakes have no concept of cross compilation and makes this use case extremely tedious to use.

Flakes were a RFC then merged as an experimental feature and shilled too much to the community to the point they are now a quasi standardized feature even though they didn't go through RFC and therefore ignored all the valuable feedback.

This whole debacle made a lot of invested people tired on both sides.
I mean if the rakes are government mandated and the public needs convincing to change the mandate, sure
