Keep in mind that this is probably (a) bollocks, and (b) doesn't preclude brains being (quantum) computers.

You can use a Turing machine to (inefficiently) simulate a quantum computer just fine.

The page you linked to also seems to think that Gödel's incompleteness theorem says that human brains can do thinks that computers can't. That conclusion isn't warranted:

Yes, there are specific statements that specific formal systems can neither prove nor disprove. And for every formal system you can find such systems.

However, there are also plenty of statements that humans can neither prove nor disprove. Human also make plenty of mistakes. (You can also build a probabilistic formal system that's allowed to make mistakes.)

Integration tests are robust with respect to process flow/business logic, but (can be) fragile with respect to the mechanics of calling the API. Back In The Day that used to be a real issue because the tooling for writing API integration tests was separate from the tooling for writing the API itself.

These days (at least the way we do it) the integration test code gets refactored alongside the rest of the code, and compile-time errors catch 90% of issues.

That's part 1 of what sold me on integration tests. Part 2 is the ability to simply and efficiently spin up a DB per test, removing the need for mocking the persistence layer.
That’s my guess. Got EBV back in 2015, and spent about a year with debilitating photophobia, visibly bulging lymph nodes, along with a host of symptoms that still haven’t gone away: excruciating joint pain, muscle weakness, headache and brain fog, anhedonia, annihilated sex drive, etc.

Trying to manage my symptoms, I got a hormone panel to compare pre-EBV. Testosterone and Estradiol dropped by about 65%, where it remained for 3 years until I convinced a doctor to take that delta seriously.

I’m better on TRT now, but I’d say I’m at about a solid 65% of my former self. Joint and muscle pain is gone, but I don’t have the same drive and still struggle with anhedonia. Would love to try a cocktail of things — almost anything really — to feel more alive, but I don’t want to do antidepressants, and I don’t want to be branded “drug seeking”, so I just try to get by for now.

> The interviewer varies a lot though... And makes all the difference when you have an inexperienced one, or someone that doesn't care.

I believe this is likely the main point being made about luck - be unlucky enough to hit up an inexperienced interviewer and all the time spent preparing as in the linked OP is up in smoke.

Not sure if it counts as an average tech company, but in terms of non-FAANG I think startups and smaller companies can end up relying less on luck. There is more time and motivation to truly flesh out candidates, maybe giving non-interview coding tasks and such to balance out interviews. At a FAANG if there was an issue because of an inexperienced interviewer, again you need luck for a recruiter or committee to attempt a save among all the other applicants.
That gets me thinking, if the code is obvious enough it doesn’t need comments, is it useful code? Like in an ideal world, all the “how” is transparent and we’re left only with the juicy bits, that explain / define business needs.

I’ve noticed that different language have various ideas about this - like

Closure would be close to a fetish to build abstractions so that the actual code that does “stuff” just explains the business process, and the rest are just libraries.

Or golang goes in the other extreme where there it is idiomatic to have as little abstraction as possible, writing up everything as you go.

Haven’t coded much in either so this is just a beginner’s observation.
> Which was a very lucrative business back when interest rates weren’t evil.

I don't know how far back you're referring to, but I can't believe that you would call a single digit interest rate "evil." If there was ever a bad thing, it's the incredibly loose market for debt we had up until recently, where central banks suppressed rates with ZIRP or NIRP. A huge amount of the very mess we're in is because of grossly overaccomodative monetary policy which has distorted the price of everything, and has surprisingly far-reaching effects. It's very much a good thing that the era of free and easy money is (hopefully) over.

Another fix is taxing companies more proportionate to the fire/layoff sizes. Laying off employees to raise bottom line profits also denies the Government from collecting taxable income which most people can't tax evade like larger businesses do.

It also ensures SS is contributed toward because the longer there are pauses in the contribution of SS the harder it is to establish a sustainable in system. The rich folk have always been trying to remove the SS system because they don't want to pay more taxes. We pay taxes to support the infrastructure that can keep wealthy comfortable. Reason things cost so much was because of greed and a lack of common sense dressed up as sympathy. Certainly makes the number climb in terms of profits but if the profit's value is dilluted then do the numbers really mean anything?
Appliances use a significant amount of resources. It’s a bit tricky to attribute gains to standards versus general technological progress and consumers being more aware of issues like climate change but the amount of energy saved by increased efficiency in appliances is significant.

I don't feel that way. I went through a pretty big exercise slump over covid and I bought an apple watch at the start of 2021. If you make your goals modest at first, the numbers will be easy to hit and every couple of weeks the fitness app will suggest you raise them - if you raise them each time it suggests, you'll eventually hit a manageable goal where you're spending 30-60 minutes exercising per day.

The gamification aspect was really good for me to get off the couch and actually do something but now that I have good habits going I naturally enjoy the extra walk/yard work/gym workout. I don't really pay that much attention to my daily goals anymore, but if I look down and it's 4 PM and I see that I'm a bit short on today's exercise goal, I might consider taking the dog for a second walk or making an unplanned trip to the gym. It's not the end of the world if I don't make it, but it's pretty cool when the month ends and I get the "you hit your exercise goal every day for august" notification.
> "Sign up for an account" is part of the install flow just like Windows.

There's nothing wrong with providing an easily skippable option to do that (ubuntu), a completely different thing to make it a mandatory part of the installation (windows).
> 1. Write a test first so that its failure state is proven.

This is useful for to me only when fixing existing code but not when writing new code. Before I write the implementation, it is obvious the test would fail. By not having to code the test first, I have more flexibility on changing the API if needed.
Don't remember what it was exactly, but I did run into some obscure scenario (something with tab focus I believe) where Edge had a bug that prevented my code from working.

> If you don’t have enough warez to reach the minimum share limit for the DC++ server you can always add the directories for your games installed under Program Files.

Not sure if it only started in the Windows XP days, but it's a bad idea to put games in that folder, one of the reasons being that they might not work unless you give them admin access, for instance to be able to write user files in their own folders (and you might want to mess with them too, also consider mods), and giving them admin access is not the best idea.
Why would that be misleading? This seems to be just an attempt to better understand (some of the / potential) causes that unknown condition. Perhaps it doesn't help to diagnose it, as there might not be any direct evidence left in the body to point at the original cause, but in the longer term it certainly helps if you know where to look.

The second removes lime using citric acid crystals. You could use vinegar instead I think.

The water hardness has something to do with the amount of salt the dishwasher uses so it needs to be set correctly.

I don't have any issues with the dishwasher.. I had it for 5 years.

Box office across all three of the sequel trilogy moves. The same is the case for the three movies in the original trilogy btw, so I guess we should conclude that "Return of the Jedi" was the only Star Wars was movie people actually liked, since The Force Awakens is one of the most successful movies of all time?

In reality, sequels tend to be less successful than the original, but can expect a certain audience. Since only very successful movies get sequels, sequels are still safer investments than original movies.

In my case, the CFS like syndrome was all in my head in the worst fashion possible. After COVID, I developed a cross reactive species of antibody targeting my hippocampus and the opioid receptors in my brain. I have been bedridden since I was 17. I also manifested severe orthostatic intolerance and peripheral neuropathy that put me in the lowest 1 percent of neurite density. I was diagnosed at Mass General Hospital at a specialty clinic, so I trust the veracity of their claims.

The problem with CFS is simply that it is a syndrome. It is far too nebulous a label to be of much use. It describes everything because it describes nothing! I have an autoimmune disorder that debilitates me. I don't particularly care if it is labeled as CFS or small fiber neuropathy. @lindsaywaterman, I am curious about collecting a body of documents on my illness; I would be greatly appreciative if you could contribute your professional experiences dealing with CFS patients whether it began with an illness or was simply an unrelated psychological condition lumped in the same category on account of a superficial similarity in symptoms.
Unfortunately though you seem to be in the minority. There is ganging up on the "boomer" generation in Irepand for example because they buy up all the properties they can specifically to rent out for exorbitant prices.

This is encouraged. So when there is legislation or regulations that would reduce the price inflation of properties they are the first to complain. They usually have more political influence too by way of being regular voters etc. And so instead of the mentality you share, they don't see owning properties other than a means of "semi passive" income.
The NIH grants starting salary for a lab technician that needs a college degree is about 35k. They could make that at a fast food chain and not have 100k in student loans to start out their life with, it’s not hard to see why some might give up on college.
In my experience it comes down a lot to what people in a project use. If almost everyone has a properly configured IDE then the code will become almost impossible to navigate without one. If almost everyone uses emacs or vim then there is little risk that the code ends up like that. If you have an IDE it does not matter much how the code is structured as nothing is more than a single click away anyway and you barely notice when clicking if you jumped to somewhere else in the same big file or if you ended up in another file, sometimes in a far away subdirectory. Code structure becomes more obvious and important in my experience when you use a text-editor. For better or worse.

That would be the correct assessment given the return of college vs the cost. Unless you want to be a doctor/lawyer/dentist/engineer, college isn't really worth it.

and to those saying an average college grad makes 1M more per lifetime than a HS grad, that included people who went to college when it was worth it. we need to look at the expected earning of someone joining now, but this as expected, can't be calculated.

Also curious about this. I'd be shocked if TMJ/TMD was more than incidentally psychological. Mine is definitely a mix of genetics (thanks Dad!) and inflammatory.

EDIT: Ah, just saw the other reply. Strange.
Too many unit tests can slow down refactoring. But it can still be worthwhile.

Eg: I’ve done some deep algorithmic work on CRDTs lately and my code has a lot of internal parts which are all quite fiddly to implement correctly. For example, I’m using a custom btree with some unusual features as an internal data structure. Btrees are famously difficult to implement correctly, so my btree has both unit tests and fuzz tests to make sure it does what I expect. Having that test suite makes integration tests easier to triage, since I know any failures in my integration tests probably don’t come from the btree. And some btree code paths are probably rarely or never executed by my integration tests. But I still want that code to be correct. Testing it in isolation is the best way.

They’re a lot of other small pieces that I test like this - like saving & loading code, my graph traversal utility code (for comparing versions semantically) and so on. Low level unit testing can find bugs in utility modules while you write the module itself, not later (when you start using the module in some other code).
