In 2019 I got catfished by a recruiter. They put together the perfect story for me. I would be able to give back, change the world, have a connection, do something real. They picked at my tumbler and opened the lock.

The company I interviewed for was the same sugary sweet continuation. World's A-class HR department, it was like getting pumped to go on a cruise. Boy, was I about to get duped.

I got hired, and, it's the same sad song I won't bore you with - I ended up in a cube as a professional bench warmer, never getting access to any environments, just being paid to keep a cube ready for a shrink wrapped, ready to go engineer someday, I guess. I only made it to month 5 before I blew out. My old company took me back. They got a much more loyal version of myself. I'm glad to have the experience - one and done.

The same recruiter hit me up a few months later. I told him what had happened. He didn't seem phased. I quipped, 'So I am surprised you're even willing to talk to me'. He said I made it to 90 days there and he got paid, he was ready to do it again, and what did I want for round 2?
The anti-Win 11 complaints here are entirely valid, however a $5 shareware StartAllBack restores many of the things people liked about prior Windows versions, like the Start Menu, clock, Explorer menus, etc. Winaero Tweaker (free) is another similar program for restoring some older features.

This doesn't excuse Microsoft for screwing up so many aspects of Windows but a $5 option to fix most of the things that bother me is a no-brainer.
I wish more pages took the pointer and resolution media queries into account. So many times I open windows side-by-side on my desktop and end up with the menu collapsing into a hamburger menu which fills the entire screen when clicked. Many phones today have very high DPI and very low precision in touch, so it makes sense to have massive visual elements and buttons, but my desktop with the same size in pixels as my phone but a much lower DPI and much higher input precision doesn't really need them.
Which makes sense, since users have come to expect software to be portable. Let's say you have an Intel machine, and an Apple Silicon machine. You could then install software to a portable USB drive, and run it on both devices.
You are projecting your own feelings. You need to seek understanding before casting judgment.

It’s absolutely not an insult. It is a lament.
How has Windows solved the problem? If anything it's more irritating on Windows as it refuses to overcommit so in a lot of setups if you don't have a humongous swapfile you will get OOM errors on random processes before you've even filled up physical RAM.
Have you ever participated in a research community? You’re going to be at a severe disadvantage compared to peers in the US if you’re unable to promote your work to, and network with, the leaders in your field (the majority of whom are based in the global North).

Also, many of the top publishing venues in CS are conferences, and it is not uncommon for them to require in-person presentations as a condition for acceptance.

So, in sum, if you want to have a scientific career, attending conferences in the US/Europe is almost a must, at least in CS.
It's classic Mme Bovary syndrome. The inability to separate the concept of romance (e.g. burning devotion) from the tangible thing of romance (e.g. rendez-vous with a lover in a big city hotel). Like here, the real romance in Huckleberry Finn is something effuse related to prepubescent adventure, not its implementation of floating down a raft on the Mississippi.

The "brand" of the aspiration supplants the actual aspiration, eventually it becomes identical to it. It's hard to avoid the trap, especially for young people, growing up in an environment where everything is branded.
That's a very liberal interpretation of the reasonably plain language in the notice.
I think you are mixing scenarios here. The initial scenario was that the car had no power (and anyway locks are powered by the LV battery, not the HV one), which is not a safety emergency situation. In that case, the person driving can get out of the car using the mechanical lever and open thee rear door(s) using the normal external handle.
In case of an emergency, where no power is available anymore, well ,we are most probably talking about a serious enough car crash. In that case, AFAIK, Tesla - just like any other car manufacturer out there - has a system that trigger airbags and unlock doors when detecting a crash. But yet in that case, the ones in the rear seats has less chances to escape from the car, that's probably true.
Isn't that already fixed?
While I get where this is going as far as salary potential goes.

I also strongly disagree. Early in my career I wasted a lot of time from bad interviews because a recruiter seemed to care more about just getting numbers in for an interview than actually good interviews.

I have had a recruiter get me in for a job and then just a couple months later call me asking if I am looking for a new opportunity (to be clear, the same person).

I have had recruiters completely waste my time and send me to group interviews for tech jobs (by this I mean one person interviewing 10 or so of us at the same time... who does that for a tech job?!?).

Oh and then there was that fun time that I had 2 different offers from companies with 2 different recruiters and had the fun situation of one of them trying really hard to convince me to not take the other job even though I kept trying to make it clear that I would learn more in the other job. It was less money but a far better learning opportunity.

Because of the constant push from recruiters to get for money I ended up having several jobs that lasted for a year or less that eventually came to give me problems getting my most recent job. Yes I could have done better with this myself but sometimes it can be hard to ignore that magic increase in money.

So no, I will continue to ignore most recruiters since I have wasted enough time in my career as it is going on bogus interviews and I have had to tell off at least one that I will never work with again.

Also, I get enough literal spam calls as it is. I am not going to answer your recruiter call.

What do you mean about the MacOS UI? It sounds like you're talking about Stage Manager (which I love but understand not liking) but it should be disabled by default.
When combined with Bartender, I actually get annoyed when long running in the background programs are not in the menu bar. I assume one day Apple will kill that developers source of income.
Why? They’re not that difficult, especially if someone is there to assistance or you have a wall. It’s also a yoga position.

Now obviously I wouldn’t start out with hand stands since you need to be in pretty good shape (like a pull up you probably can’t do it unless you’re in decent shape anyways).

It’s certainly safer than having literally hundreds of pounds above your neck.

Building LLM Apps in TypeScript
Runway runs circles around zeroscope. But that shouldn't be a blocker for zeroscope to catch up and/or surpass. Both runway and pika Labs deliver better quality at the moment. Evidence: struggling with all three of them.

Runway outputs the best video quality and options for video length whilst pika delivers better fidelity to an input image as inspiration. All of this subject to change without notice

BS thread.
Hammer on the product alignment problem first, and be sure to use some reasonable barrier to entry that will prevent others from doing it later. The primary problem right now with AI startups is that what they are doing isn't defensible and they aren't showing clear ways they can defend their position moving forward. By having good product/market alignment and a means to build up data (from interactions) that can be used to train later, you might be able to sell this better to the VC.

Having been through this already, I can tell you that "being an alternate solution to a large market" looks completely different than "we're entering a new market with this cool thing that solves cool problem". Be sure to find differentiating factors that resonate well with product fit and adoptability, and go out and find the problems you can solve with a little bit of code and some simple explanations.
I am also a M3 owner. I also had the experience of every NEW rider using the manual release unless I warned them not to.

My guess is the "trapped" people are ones who are very used to using the small button, and have forgotten about the manual release and it never occurs to them since they never have to use it.

I'm not sure how that's possible, but it's my guess.
Well, one of the easiest paths is to stop doing oly lifts and start using DBs instead of a bar where possible. If you don't think you might have great form with DBs, just spend a few sessions at the beginning with a coach. The one thing it's hard to emulate with DBs are heavy deadlifts. For that, I built myself a resistance band platform similar to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/homegym/comments/kx57ho/i_made_a_re...

My experience is that it becomes equally fun for a data driven person to start tracking aerobic performance (rowing was where I started because we have a C2 at home, and then diversified into running and biking).
No, you’ll only get “someprefix1”, and about 14 similar variants. What you need to do is either prepare a reasonable prefix valid for all (or at least most) users, or have the documentation to be dynamically prepared for each user, with a dynamically generated appropriate prefix for each user.

Alternatively, you’ll have to teach users what kinds of prefixes would be appropriate, with an example which is obviosly not appropriate for any of your actual user. This will take some length of text to explain, and many users will not read it, and may instead abandon your service.

Relatedly, I’ve always disliked when programs force me to name N number of things without adequately explaining

• What the names are (Is this some kind of group name? Instance name?)

• How the name will be shown. (Should I prefix the name with the company name myself, or will that always be visible? Will this name be shown together with numerous other names which are all UPPER CASE? Will the name be automatically converted to lower case?)

• If any of these names will be publicly visible.

• If any of the names can be changed later, and how hard it is.

• What characters are allowed (Are spaces, underscores, or dashes allowed? How about Unicode? Emojis? What is the normal naming scheme?)

• How long is the name allowed to be? (Will it be silently truncated at 8 or 16 characters (or grapheme clusters)?)
one (quite convincing) theory is that anything that can be achieved by a carbon-based neural network (eg. human brain) can also be achieved by a silicon-based neural network. The hardware may change, but the hardware's software expressiveness shouldnt be affected, unless there is a fundamental chemistry constraint.

Since human brains during dreams (lucid or otherwise) can generate coherent scenes, and transform individual elements in a scene, diffusion based models running on cpu/gpus should eventually be able to do the same.

I gave what my company calls a “lunch and learn” presentation once of some interesting tools. People liked it and shared my deck around which was cool. But then my quick/dirty examples started showing up in best practice (I loathe that term) decks shared to very large teams with my name at the bottom. A security guy, who I greatly respect, raised some questions and I had to go through the whole story with him and then find all references to my examples and fix them. It was pretty embarrassing.
Not really. It's more like if you use it for free please cite but if you're so averse to citing that you'd rather send a gazillion money then feel welcome to do so, at least that is the way I read it.
what about the gap in disposable:

Pro Tip: If you create a Win 11 USB install drive with the Rufus utility, you can pre-define a local user and get around the cloud account sign-in roadblock when installing Windows.
Some modern gaming gear kind of requires windows to setup basic functionality like turning off lights and stuff. Now, windows has been crap for a while, but it really amazed me that multimedia keys that work on Linux and Mac, somehow require the stupid software to enable functionality that is already configured in firmware.
This sounds like a urban legend or an isolated incident portrayed to make the issue sound big and scary.

Prisons should be evaluating whether the person was genuinely living as a woman (and possibly taking hormone treatments, etc) before putting them into a women’s prison, and not just because they declared “I’m a woman now” after being convicted and sentenced.

Nobody making a fuss about trans people causing problems in prisons seems to give a single fuck about all the sexual assaults and rapes that happen between men or between women in prisons. It’s only when trans people come into the picture then all of a sudden prison rape becomes a big issue.
About 5 years ago I made a blog post detailing how to use Traefik/LE with PHP. For about one day, I realized I had my personal email in the template for the warning email for when the Lets Encrypt cert is expiring. I still get emails warning random people that their domain is going to expire.

Prepare your examples accordingly.
Being able to talk a CSR into resetting your password makes a mockery of account security. Nobody should offer that service.

AOL will delete accounts unused for 90 days. Microsoft deletes accounts unused for 1-2 years depending on when the account was established. Both of these policies are at least 15 years old.
I didn’t experience any issues on my first read through, but on the second visit it now randomly scrolls back to the top of the viewport.
Right, and what if you were buying a ticket from A -> B, you were offered two options:

1. $1000 "regular" ticket, you could skip any time you want

2. $700 "discounted" ticket, but the airline makes you promise that you won't get off at X

In this case you can't really complain about how airlines are "imposing limitations" or whatever, because you willingly agreed to it as a condition for receiving the discounted ticket. If you secretly wanted to go to X, it'll be even better if you could receive the discount and get off at X, but that violates the agreement you had with the airline, and the airline was only willing to offer the cheaper ticket to you because they thought you were going all the way to B.
I think most people have a task bar at the bottom, at least on Windows and Linux.
On the terminal, all the various "modern" replacements for `top` (btop, htop, bottom [mentioned in an earlier comment], etc.) are all really great. Many are almost on-par with their graphical counterparts these days.
You never side by side your browser and another application like a terminal or text editor? And even barring that the taskbar of your OS along with window decorations means that your browser is seldom 100% of the screen. This is also talking about the viewport, so even though they clumsily refer to it as the "browser" the website won't be given 100% of your resolution even if your browser did have 100% simply because of things like the tabs bar and other navigation. Can you full-screen a website? Sure. But that's not the common way to browse.

There is also an entire TLD, .example so that you can put multiple names in a TLD and distinguish big-corp.example from my-local-store.example and it's clear that those aren't related, they just share a registry the same way as letsencrypt.org and wikipedia.org do
Depends on what they’ve been practicing.
Amdahl's law is not about latency or throughput, it is about optimizing one part of a program having diminishing returns relative to the part that isn't optimized. It is not really a law, it is more common sense that most people would never assume needs to be explicitly said.
Over lunch, my mentor started talking full sentences backwards. He was even aware that he was doing it. Turns out, he was having a stroke.

I think the trickiest part is that the other party willingly shared some information and their motives affect probabilities way more than any math.

I find it easier to think about this problem stated like this: let's say you go around asking people " do you have exactly 2 children and at least one of them is a boy?".
What are the odds of them having 2 boys if they answered yes.
Completely, utterly, dangerously false.

Google's inactivity policy has multiple exemptions for people with certain things in their accounts, and I reviewed this policy change to conclude that I safely meet several exemptions, and my account will never be sanctioned for inactivity.

Lock me up, boys!
> games (I know, Wine is a thing, but let's be honest: it is very much still a hit or miss)

I used to dual-boot for a few games, but nowadays I just don't bother anymore. I check protondb beforehand and most of the games I played just ran without issues. I think the last time I booted Windows for games was for Space Engineers a couple of years ago (which seems to work now, but looks like a pain to set up).

> Edge is even more annoying. Even if you install the "business" version you still get that crapty startpage and if you log in to remote desktop that takes ages to render

Oh Glob yes. De-venoming Edge is part of my RDP setup routine.
I didn't say "I don't think you read my profile, prove it!". I said "Great that you found it attractive, is there anything in particular you thought was a matching competence/experince etc".

There is a difference. And I'm genuinely curious about it because it affects how interested I am in the position (For example, if they found some 15 year old thing I worked on a sign that I want to work on their legacy project maybe I'm not so interested), so it's not only a way to weed out bots and spam. So yes, if they can't at least try answer that then I wouldn't go near that recruiter. Win win indeed.
I really like the location part though.
Pretty much this, some countries are allowed to change visas while in Germany, so you can get married in Denmark, which is an easy affair and doesn’t take much. Then you go to Germany, and the marriage is accepted there, and you can now change it to a spousal visa.

Instead, she had to swear 3 times (twice in writing, once in person at the civil registry) that she’s not married either ritually, customary, or by law. Among other fun documents we needed.
I’m not upgrading to win 11 anytime soon. Zero desire to do so.
>This is not informing about other services

Is there law for that?

There was such a thing for browsers, but I dont know about services
I believe the intention of that statement is to not assume that it's filling the entire screen, that is, not to count on it in some manner.

A lot of people still make this mistake one way or another. In about the last year I finally gave up; my tiling window manager used to have the browser at 2/3rds the screen with the remaining 1/3 a terminal, but more and more I've been encountering websites that are very unhappy with that width; not small enough to kick in mobile mode or they detect that I'm on a desktop browser and don't adjust, but not large enough for the design they serve me, creating overlapping regions, or horizontal scrolling, etc. So my browser is full screen a lot more often now. On the one hand I'm annoyed, but on the other, an implication of the article is that you essentially can't test at "all" viewport sizes anymore and it's just so easy to accidentally write a website that is unhappy at exactly pixel widths 892-945 when used with my exact font setup and/or zoom setting that I can't really stay mad at some of these sites. Some of the sites I have trouble with are clearly trying, and are competent in many other ways. You can hardly expect your designers to visit every page on your site and test every single width from 200 to 2000 one pixel at at time, let alone ask them to do it again with a variety of zoom settings.

Heck, I can't even tell you my own website can do that. I've checked it on a phone and in my desktop browser at a couple of sizes, but I can't do it anymore than anyone else can nowadays.
If you're a startup and relicensing previously open source code under a restrictive license or doing other shady things you'll get plenty of defenders to line up to say 'hey, they have to make a living somehow', but if a single guy tries to make a living via a simple message in a widely used program all hell breaks loose.

What gives?

You’d need some counter to bullets that is just as strong or interesting.

The real world doesn’t really have one. There’s very little a human or even a tank can do against a sufficiently large explosion.

Then when you have that you can have the hero evolve to work around those limits.

What I’ve mostly seen obsolete guns is generally a sort of shield.
I’ve worked at places where we’ve been building very speculative high-tech platforms, others where we built a few complex apps for the long term over the course of years, and others where we knocked out a stupendous number of simple to moderate complexity applications (70 in 8 months!) for a wide range of customers.

That last case has gotten me excited about no code because “excellence” in a place like that is standardizing what your team does to produce a good enough product with minimum effort, particularly no wasted effort.

I also spent some time looking at applications of “semantic technology”, ontologies, and ideas from the old symbolic A.I. with a business development guy and one thing we researched in depth was “low code”.

As a dev my concerns are: (1] low-code gets productivity by imposing defaults, if management/customers are happy with those defaults that’s great but if they insist they want something different that could eliminate many of the benefits or worse it could be a lot more expensive to get it right. (2) on successful projects devs spend much more time maintaining than building greenfield systems, if low-code is really going to be competitive in the long term it has to have a great story for that.

Look up my profile and shoot me an email, I’d love to talk some more.
My guess is that filling the entire entire screen is common, especially on laptops that aren't hooked up to a monitor, but not common enough to assume that'll always be the case.
