I am a security engineer. You can go reach out to whoever managed your assessment at Trail and ask them about me by name if you like. What you're saying doesn't make sense.

> My general policy with third-party recruiters is to not tell them ANYTHING and to always deal directly with the companies they introduce you, once you establish a point of contact there.

As a third-party recruiter, I'd love that, but absolutely none of the companies we work with want that, and we can always ask for more money or informally sound out an employer in a way that's much more difficult for the candidate to do directly.

Part of me hopes we have hit a kind of wall where we get what we have now, maybe with some more polished UI, but it doesn't continue the exponential improvement path it's on. If it all slowed down, people would have plenty of time to readjust. Rather than just instantly deleting peoples careers.

Human artists can quite easily beat the current tech, but there is no real indication that the current stuff is the best we can juice out of the current methods. Which is the depressing part. Why even bother to learn anything when AI will obsolete your effort before you finish.

There's Deno already if someone really wants their JS runtime in Rust. Personally, since everything just runs on a JIT JS runtime anyway, I don't really see to much of a difference between Node, Deno, and Bun, it's not like the JS is being AOT compiled via Zig or Rust, which would be very interesting, you could basically treat JS as a compiled language rather than an interpreted one, even if the JIT is already fast.

He lives in Germany as a permanent resident. So he can either appeal, pay the fine, or move back to the US (plane tickets alone would cost more than the fine, let alone the cost and disruption of moving a family).

If he lived in the US, he could likely just ignore the ruling. This would clearly be 1A protected speech in the US, so even if Germany pursued it, they would be politely told to screw off. It would probably be a bad idea to return to Germany though.
If you want to find out whether Lil Tay is dead or alive, it's a bit of a conundrum. Apparently, you can't trust any sites or accounts that she might have, since they could have been hacked. It's unlikely that you could get any government verification like a death certificate right away, and there won't be one if she is still alive, and who trusts the government anyway. The verification that she is alive comes from "a statement provided to TMZ from Tay's family", but is there any reason to trust that? I've never heard of TMZ so have no idea how credible they are, and in any case perhaps somebody spoofed being Tay's family and they didn't check very hard, and Tay is actually dead. What are you going to believe, a video statement from Tay herself perhaps, which may be a deep fake?

Edit: Of course, I have no idea if Tay was a real person in the first place, or just a personality created by deep fakers.

Edit: Wikipedia (dubious of course) says that TMZ is a tabloid owned by Fox Corporation. Yeah, like I trust Fox. let alone some tabloid they own.
Hiding what you really think because you management won't like what you have to say is the reason a bunch of problems go unchecked in almost every company I've ever been in.

People should be able to say what they think in any situation without the fear of reprisals.

But it doesn't work that way because management often can't take criticism and so you're left with back channels and politics to get things done.

This is a management problem and a culture problem not a problem with working from home or not.
Think of looking at someone running across the street and then looking through a telescope at someone running far away. The person far away would be in the past because of whatever amount of distance light had to travel. The person far away would seem to be running in slow motion.

Instead of whatever tiny fraction of a second your telescope would enable you to look into the past, the telescopes looking at whole-ass galaxies in the early universe that appear to be "running slower".
A corollary for this might be great rule of thumb I’ve got from mountain biking and skiing: “when you start to mess up the easy stuff is when you back it off and call it”.

Start coming up short on the easy little tabletops? Start finding yourself in the backseat on ski turns a bit too much? Time to have a break and reevaluate before you axe yourself because your skill for recovering might be saving you on the easy stuff, but if you’re not nailing that, you’re almost certainly going to screw up something with more serious consequences.

Lack of bias doesn’t exist. Even people who are in good faith trying to be objective can’t help but report the facts through the lens of their worldview. Even reporting that just sticks to facts is colored by what facts reporters choose to highlight, what additional context they elect to provide, and which primary sources they treat as trustworthy.

The best you can hope to do is listen to a range of smart people who are transparent about their priors.
let me disagree with that; many argues that modern science started with Galileo. The guy knew Latin. But he decided to write in Italian (and not Latin), because he wanted his results to be accessible to "everybody", and useful.

I agree that English has reached the Latin status today, but - in the bigger picture - it's just spoken by a cosmopolitan elite, most of the people don't speak it or they don't speak it well.

So, there is always a strong case for doing science, or everything, really, in your local language, especially if you want to be really inclusive.

p.s. I am not saying that people shouldn't strive to learn english, but there is a BIG case to use your own language, both for science and business.
> It's not a matter of "personalizing", it's a matter of recognizing that, just like you, the company is trying to get the best deal they can

This is kind of untrue. The company may "want" to get the best deal possible, but you aren't dealing with the company. You're dealing with one or more individuals at the company that have incentives that do not align perfectly with what the company "wants".

In most cases, the hiring manager has a budget for the role and they do not care if you come in at the bottom of budget or near the top. They don't make extra money for getting you as cheaply as possible. Sometimes they even have incentive to pay you more, to close you quickly or even just prestige.

The origin of all three words is Latin: density from densitas, functional from functiō, theory from theōria.

Both Romanian and French are Romance languages, i.e. their origin is Latin, and English (a Germanic language) also has strong Latin and French influences, mostly borrowed words like these.
What other ruling did the Epic judge ignore? She ignored the trial of the person who kidnapped Lindbergh’s baby, the OJ trial and literally millions of other cases that had nothing to do with whether Apple had a monopoly on the App Store.

> First, the idea that one of web components' strengths is bypassing serverside rendering is a bit misleading. SSR has been foundational to reducing time to first meaningful paint, ensuring accessibility, and improving seo. to argue that bypassing it is an advantage seems antithetical to best practices, even when using client-side tech like web components.

This comment deserves some clarity.

Web components should not bypass server-side rendering. However, that server-side rendering should not come from the web components themselves. Rather, the "SSR" in this case should be the job of whatever generates the page HTML.

The page HTML should include default "slotted" content (inside the custom element's tag) to be picked up by the web component when the page loads. That's the best way to do progressive enhancement in web component land. Whenever I reach a point when I think, "Gee, I wish I could SSR this web component," I take it as a bad smell, like I'm probably not taking advantage of web component features.

Put another way, I wouldn't want to SSR a web component for the same reason I wouldn't want to SSR a <p> tag. The latter makes no sense, right? Web components are custom elements, and they should be treated like elements, and designed like elements.

> Web components certainly have their place and, used judiciously, can certainly add value. It's just essential to approach them with a nuanced understanding and not as a silver bullet.

Fully agreed with this, it should be repeated over and over. Web components can be part of a balanced diet but they can't be the whole meal.

> Can't we only measure the speed of things through time relative to other things that coexist at the same time?

They weren't using speed. They were watching how fast a clock ticked back then, the clock being a quasar. The article was light on the details, but the difficulty seemed to be that quasar's aren't reliable clocks, so they needed to develop a statistical model to measure the ticking accurately. Developing the model was actual science being reported on. It happened to agree with Einstein's predictions.

But even if they were using speed, gravity doesn't slow down light. It redshift's it. So there is something you could compare your speed to back then.

Finally, we are comparing how fast time ticks for us now versus how fast a quasar ticked back then. I don't know if the quasar it still around, but if it is it's probably a very different beast now. In any case we are comparing two things that don't exist at the same time. In fact, my guess is it's downright difficult compare yourself to something that exists at the same time, because the speed of light is finite. That means by the time you receive the measurement, whatever you've measured has moved on.

Probably not "junior" in the traditional sense of the world. Maybe some PhD holders researching very, very specific literature that the company wants to lock in pronto. You're not hiring a new engineer for that much to simply code.
The performance of branches is data-dependent. The performance of conditional moves is data-independent. In this case the branches are predictable, so they perform better here. In general, though, the compiler has no idea whether that's the case, so it makes sense to insert a conditional move to avoid branch misprediction penalties.

I agree with the writer. When Apollo got shut down, my usage of Reddit died with it. The occasional skim on BuildaPCsales aside, it’s utility has rapidly approached zero for me, and the old subs that I used to browse have taken a noticeable dive in quality to the point where it’s not worth my time to read them.

The same with twitter. I tried twitter for 2-3 months. I found the quality of almost the entire user base to approach quality reminiscent of Markov chains. I amassed a handful of followers. 95% of whom were bots. With the change to X, I think it’s about time to wrap it up.

Funnily enough, the en-shitification of both has brought me back to my original love: reading. I’ve finally started working my way through the backlog that’s been building for several years now, and my life has been immensely improved over the results that would have been gained over spending that time browsing Reddit.

My main take away from the article was that we, apparently, need a time traveler to confirm/disprove Einstein's theory.
It depends on how important it is that I get a precisely correct answer. For a cocktail it's not a big deal if I get one that's slightly different, in other cases an incorrect answer might be catastrophic.
yes, in this case it's preserving a language that is almost dead, because killed by English internal colonialism/centralism so to say, and preserving a language is also a good endeavor.
Redshift isn't mentioned anywhere in the article except in the citation of the original paper

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-023-02029-2

but redshift here would be the key to making this determination.. I don't have access to the paper and it would probably be beyond me, but presumably you can make observations in redshifted light from quasars of different ages (or distances from the centre of the universe) and because we're fairly sure the properties of light haven't changed since the universe started, we use these subtle differences in redshifts like a sort of "cosmological GPS" and figure out that time must've been slower in the past

Well, patents are certainly a good way to create monopolies, which wouldn't exist in an actually free market with no patents. In addition, there's interventions in place which don't allow certain tech exports to China, for example. Not sure how much better the situation would be without these.

I think the principle is called perfect market or perfect competition, but it's only a theoretical concept. However, it's certainly possible that the market is less perfect than it could be due to interventions and regulations.
There is a meaningful difference. A ponzi scheme involves: schemer takes money from Mr. A. At a later date he takes money from Mr B. He gives some of the money from Mr. B to Mr A, and tells Mr. A that it's "returns". He tells Mr B. all is fine. Then Mr C comes along and his money is given to Mr. A and Mr. B, as "returns". This continues.

It's a very specific type of fraud. Most fraud isn't a ponzi, just like every injury isn't a broken arm. It's silly to go around calling all injuries a broken arm.
