I believe Google at least at that time was trying to hire engineers who could theoretically be put to work on any team, potentially being asked to create TensorFlow or MapReduce or contributing to the Linux kernel in service of Android, not people who have pigeonholed themselves into only being considered web developers.

If pure CRUD companies only looking for JavaScript specialists are also using leetcode screening, they're missing the point.
I dislike the current trend of calling lessons "learnings". I don't understand the shift in meaning. Learning is the act of acquiring knowledge. The bit of knowledge acquired has a long established name: lesson. What's the issue with that?
You might be correct, but do you have a source for that? I found that DDR5-5600 = 69.21 GB/second on that web page: https://www.crucial.com/articles/about-memory/everything-abo...

I have tried to find an authoritative source but failed, because DDR5 spec on jedec.org is sold for $370 :-(
Got it, sounds like a fun, simple setup though. I was exploring FastAPI recently and was a bit surprised that async SQLAlchemy wasn't the out-of-the-box experience, unless I misread docs and wasn't following along closely enough. The result was that even with all of the async goodness in FastAPI, throughput was completely shot once I started querying a DB. It looks like there is a way to do async SQLAclhemy though with AsyncSession. Do you have any experience with this?

As a data point on the scale of internships, Amazon hired approximately 15,000 interns last summer (not including winter interns). While I don't have a number for how many get full time offers, a large portion do since the internship serves as on-the-job training.
This is in no way specific to T-Mobile but can be used for any ISP / with any device that doesn't allow port forwarding.

It's just a simple port forward over ssh, which means no software installation is necessary (except perhaps on Windows).

One shortcoming is that pinggy doesn't appear to use IPv6. All IPv4 on T-Mobile Home Internet is over CG-NAT, of course, but IPv6 isn't, so IPv6 connections don't time out after six or so minutes.

This would be an excellent way to rent single static IPs without all the waste that comes from creating a separate subnet per address, particularly since most routers (looking at you, Cisco) still don't support /31 or not using the zeroth address in a subnet.
If the power you derive from having access to all the resources around a black hole is large enough it could pay for a really big shield.
Sorry to place this here. I've been working on some stock market data visualization over the past couple days -- not as pretty but it makes the point -- and would love some feedback.

Analyzing the Direct Correlation between Federal Reserve's Reverse Repo Operations and S&P 500 Stock Prices

> changing 4 lines into 13 scaled into a entire code base is a massive amount of sludge to wade thru

It's only more verbose for the code that is defining new types. Code that is simply defining behavior (either in functions or methods) is unaffected and my experience is that that's the majority of code.
I don't see how that reasoning is supposed to work in modern times.

Who out there is seriously using a compiler churned out in a weekend? The fact that you can do it doesn't mean anybody seriously would use that.

We're also not really creating architectures anymore. There's RISC-V, and Rust already supports that.
Pull the Fed's COVID stimulus out of the market and the market - perhaps the entire ecomomy - wouldn't be anywhere where it is now. I'm not necessarily sticking up for Kiyosaki - I haven't read his book - but what the Fed did was unprecedented, if not incomprehensible. We're still sorting out the effects.

The point is, perhaps Kiyosaki is right (enough) and has been right (enough) but the Fed keeps kicking the can, moving the target, etc. You can only prop up a dead body for so long before the decay and smell set in.
It’s insane to me how much money is sloshed around data that is given away by Valve for Steam completely for free.

Investors don’t comprehend that on timeframes that matter, data is the opposite of a moat.
It's not new -- it's been around for a long time, since the late 60s maybe?
Love the contrast with the previous article on the same site: https://www.thaitrainguide.com/2022/06/05/day-trip-to-the-ma...

I hate that the world sometimes requires a human sacrifice in order for change to happen. I can empathize with people that say this is a stupid way to fix a problem, but unfortunately the world is full of stupid things that actually work.

On one project, we had a horrible integration test system that required a human to read and interpret the output. The guy who wrote it made his own DSL. As we struggled with it, he noped out and left the project. The next guy had partly the right idea. He figured out how to translate the whole thing into Python with a couple of macros. So at least you could step through it. Then he noped out. Since I do a lot of CI/CD work and my primary goal on the project had already been fulfilled, I took over. What a mess. I made it better but I still couldn't nail down pass/fail statuses reliably. Pointless system.

I kept harping on how we needed to throw out the whole thing. It was a false sense of safety at best. When I left to work on something closer to my life goals, at the very last big meeting one of my people I'd been mentoring said, "The last 3 people to leave this team worked on this one project. Maybe we should get rid of it." and everyone started nodding. Son of a bitch.

Now, I wouldn't have stayed anyway, but someone else might have. I've seen other situations like this play out, and while there's always gonna be someone who 'takes their ball and goes home', often enough it's someone reasonably determining that they cannot or will not be responsible for the chaos represented by Option A over Option B. This will burn down, fall over, and sink into the swamp.
Aka the end of the open web. Remember net neutrality ?

It's been around for quite awhile. I had a friend that went out of high school in the early 2000s.
That’s an interesting guide for getting old apps. But I don’t understand the obsession with going back to old Twitter. Twitter is not the app. It’s the live service. It’s what it is. Yes it sucks. Embrace it. If it sucks then stop using it. If it doesn’t suck enough keep using it and voice your opinions. But we can’t turn back time. You get to pick between two broken apps. Old and broken or new and broken. The old Twitter is gone.
lol, here on the Big Island almost everything arrives via USPS. True, UPS and FedEx have local delivery but it rarely gets used on Amazon deliveries. Supposedly Amazon are building a new facility by the Kona airport, will be interesting to see if that changes delivery times/last mile method.
I attended this program about 10 years ago. To answer your questions, It is a school, they pay the student a stipend and lots of other benefits. the courses are mostly "blue collar" related job training. So thing like Welding, Brick Laying, Computer Repair. You will find most of their courses are targeting job sectors that are in need of people. they also house you for the entire time and is a rather good program to get into.
Yes. I've been known to walk away from the computer to get dinner, and come back an hour or so later. Usually by then it's sorted itself out, but not always. Interestingly, Slack is always in a bad state after such a freeze, and needs to be forceably restarted, but everything else is fine. It's generally simpler just to force a reboot.
The amazing part about examples like that is people read them, check that the compiler really does work on that basis, and then continue writing things in C++ anyway. Wild.

Suppose I should expand on this. The idea seems to be either 1/disbelief - compilers wouldn't really do this or 2/ infallibility - my code contains no UB.

Neither of those positions bears up well under reality. Programming C++ is working with an adversary that will make your code faster wherever it can, regardless of whether you like the resulting behaviour of the binary.

I suspect rust has inherited this perspective in the compiler and guards against it with more aggressive semantic checks in the front end.
Personally, an LP or any Flair product. But the grinder is absolutely more important than the espresso machine.
It's also because Windows after 8ish seem to just assume everyone has an SSD and small file ops are "fast enough" to not care about and sure just throw blocking IO into the hot loop nobody cares. NTFS isn't even fast on many small file IOPs but MS don't care, because all their machines have big SSDs and they fired their QA anyway.

What are you going to do, install linux? Then you get to enjoy your package manager deleting your windowing environment when you try to install Steam because of some stupid overlooked thing. You can't even click a single button to roll back your install to a previous known good condition, like Windows has had since like 2000.
The George Santos Syndrome
Services. Often, a FOSS application may be too "wonky" for the average user, and so the creator of the FOSS application makes money by offering support services for their product.

This is basically the entire business model of RedHat, I believe. They don't sell their software as much as they sell support for it.
My gut feeling is that the built in GC will either be complex and difficult to implement, each garbage collected language will use the new facilities in incompatible ways or languages will still end up rolling their own gc for some reason.

However, I hope I'll be proved wrong and the new gc facilities will be a great success.
> One is "do you know what's going on under the hood?"

Why should I need to? Let's take Microsoft's .Net sort implemtation.

It will intelligently determine which is the optimized sort given the conditions it's facing.

Heapsort? Mergesort? Quicksort? Radix Sort.

And the most-possibility optimized versions of each.

This is what data scientists do. We don't need programmers standing at whiteboards writting BubbleShort and being told it's wrong. In the real world, you call .Sort() and get on with real work.

Sure, you can hand-roll your own sort for hot-path cases but that's likely been taken into account anyway!

In this case it is You Only Launch Once. If I can launch 50 times, I might skip a test since I can just launch again with a fix. If I only get one launch, I am sure as heck going to test it a few times over.

Thank you for the feedback. We're still early in this and are planning on moving in some of the directions you mentioned.

- We agree that moving towards 'Karpenter for multiple clouds' would be more valuable for some use cases and hope to support that feature soon.

- We do help customers with one-off quota requests, and it is a feature we want to bake into our platform on top of aggregating demand in our accounts. Many companies with AWS/GCE/AKS quota still cannot reliably get on-demand instances due to capacity shortages.

This is not true. There are dozens of types of engineers and that word doesn’t mean civil engineer. There are audio engineers who work on music and film ffs, get over yourself.

Port contention is not the only source of pipeline stalls. HT can also be used to run the second thread when the first one is stalled on a dependent memory access or branch misprediction.
I had an emergency one time on the road where the laptop I was using late at night randomly shut down in the middle of audio editing. Weird. I booted it up and it died again fairly quickly. Next time even sooner.

Eventually I realized it was overheating.

Cue getting ice from the hotel dispenser and using a fan and a metal tray to keep the laptop alive until my work was done.
Nor is it a requirement for a majority of engineering types regardless of country. Civil engineers think they have a monopoly on the word; this should always be pushed back upon.
Yeah I think this is fine for programming that you want to be highly discoverable and generally stays below ~100 operations. Good for graphics and audio. Not good for any significant programming.
Scrum is like communism. A good idea that doesn't work in reality. It's good on paper.

Perhaps I never experienced a proper scrum team as the places that I worked always tried to follow a rigid process full of control and bottlenecks caused by some brainless managers.

For me scrum is always bad but not all of it is bad.

I like planning poker and refining tasks together with others. I don't believe that the found estimates are worth anything, but I like the refining part as the tasks will be better defined in the end.

The daily standup is ok, but I just want to talk to the other devs and no management. Most standups were about making your work visible to management and this is wrong use of standup meetings.
Making different person hold the meeting is preferable.

Also I don't see a point in having a scrum master which is some person which is not one of the developers. Anyone can send meeting invites. I don't care if the person has a scrum master diploma. Fuck off already.

Right, that's what I mean. It doesn't mean something to everyone, but it means everything to a few.
The particular problem with the rich is they tend to like high land values, it allows them to sell their purchases for profit and keeps those they view as undesirable out

But this comes with catch-22 for said rich people. They don't want to pay the poor working class they employ so they can't actually afford to live at these places and all forms of service suffer. You see this in the big expensive cities that the government and civil workers have typically have long commutes to cheaper places as their salaries are typically capped. This becomes very problematic on islands where the the amount of habitable land is low and the demand high.
> During this time, he met entrepreneur Elon Musk and accompanied him on a trip to Russia

> In December 2008, with SpaceX again on the verge of bankruptcy, Griffin awarded SpaceX along with his own Orbital Sciences company each contracts with a combined value of $3.5 billion

It's crazy how nepotism is still such an important aspect of success today.

It's very likely had they never known each other, SpaceX would not exist today, and some other company would have thrived instead.

I also don't understand how it's not a conflict of interest to award his own company that contract?
It is a US government program that provides housing, food, and an allowance to people 18-25 that are willing to attend a JobCorps trade school.

It may be more urgent than what the article show. There are multiple positive feedback loops and tipping points once the right (or wrong) conditions are achieved that can accelerate the speed of change.

And maybe just a push is needed for triggering some of them (i.e. something seasonal like the current El Niño). Getting closer to the edge of the abyss is bad for that kind of reason, things may develop far faster than expected if we cross the wrong line.

The changes from 1637 to now have been mostly regulations around how to offer financial products to people.

Cryptocurrencies and NFTs circumvented those, allowing savvy individuals to target people not prepared to make such decisions. The problem here is precisely that the guardrails were jumped over by malicious actors. Hence the legal action.

Eh, I don't disagree that unsafe languages will continue to be used, but I disagree with ease of compiler design as the reason.

You are comparing one of the easier languages to write a compiler for (C) with one of the hardest (Rust), and that's not due to UB but due to other facets of the languages. I could make up a new language that's equivalent to C in every way except replace all UB with defined behavior and it wouldn't make the naive compiler any different.

Additionally, writing a compiler for a language should really be a thing that happens only a handful of times while executing the code happens trillions of times so I hope we don't sacrifice safety to save compiler authors some work.
All creative work, for starters. The SAG has stalled progress on that front. Nobody needs stock photography anymore.
Have you not noticed the complete disregard the United States has for its citizens?
I can't pay for a single article; I have to subscribe. It is intentionally hard to cancel subscriptions. There are enough website data breaches that giving my credit card number to a random subscription site is an unpleasant risk.

I happily pay for Youtube Premium so that I can listen to whatever music I want anytime. Spotify and other services are fungible with that. I sort of happily pay for Netflix, but their catalog is shrinking. I would happily pay a subscription for access to all or at least ~99% of newspapers.

Whatever music did right (ASCAP, BMI) isn't perfect but it's miles ahead of the trash subscription schemes anywhere else.
The rate of loss of charge while sitting is related to the total capacity of the NiMH battery. More capacity, faster self-discharge. Lower capacity, lower self-discharge. The 2400 mAh Eneloops lose about 15% a year, compared to 1% a day for the high capacity EBLs you'll find on Amazon.
Do you actually have any evidence for this? While having zero personal projects is probably a red flag, in my last job search I saw almost no clicks on links to projects. From personal experience, most hiring managers are so busy they barely even read the resume. They are definitely not going to comb through someone's github submissions.
I think you’re saying that your concerns are moot because nobody would use LLMs the way you fear people will use LLMs?
Agreed. If they had this mixed with some sort of inpatient rehab I could see it offering a lot of hope to some really in-need people.
Note that this is from 2004. Still relevant, but not to the extreme extent as during that time period.
It's pretty uncommon in the U.S. to board a plane from stairs on the tarmac. There's almost always a gate. I haven't seen the "gate for the front, stairs for the back" loading style in Europe, but I've seen two sets of stairs pretty often. If the goal is to save passenger time and inconvenience, having to take a bus out to a hard stand is definitely not worth the payoff of being able to load from both ends.

Loading and unloading from both ends is a lot faster though. United actually had a double ended gate that they were trying out years ago in Denver, which is the best of both worlds and saves a ton of time loading and unloading. It's this really long cantilever thing over the wing to reach the rear entrance. Unfortunately something broke on it one time and the jet bridge fell onto the wing, damaging the airplane, and they gave up on it.
Consensus: Use AI to find insights in research papers
From Reuters...

> In 2022, revenue doubled to $4.6 billion, helping the company reduce its loss last year to $559 million from $968 million, the WSJ reported.

> The company reported about $5.2 billion in total expenses for 2022, up from $3.3 billion the year earlier, according to the report.

That $5.2B of expenses got 61 successful, production Falcon rocket launches in 2022. Vs. some pretty-reasonable estimates put the total cost of NASA's "Space Launch System" at ~$5B per individual launch.
