Nope! It's complicated. We put a lot of effort into deprogramming candidates before the simulation (we call it a "workday"). If you join the Slack channel for a workday and wait for us to ask you questions, almost nothing will happen. The candidate drives, apart from the brief we provide at the beginning of the session.

The rubric heavily draws from what questions the candidate asks, and which topics they choose to zoom in and spend time on. It's interesting; I warn candidates that studying for it ahead of time (for instance: for a long time our workdays were all based on a block storage problem) puts you at a disadvantage, by robbing you of good questions to ask. It's not a big disadvantage, but interview-style preparation isn't doing much to help you either.

I'm always reluctant to talk too much about the workday process, in particular because the more I describe it the less chill it sounds. In reality, it's you joining a Slack channel with an engineer from our team and just shooting the shit about something we're (in the simulation) planning to build.

A lot of what that challenge is evaluating is communication. We're an all-remote company with team members in virtually ever time zone; being able to work out in the open in the environment we've created is important.

I think our workdays are a pretty quirky feature of our process. You could instead do a scripted interview, where everybody gets precisely the same questions or prompts. The big thing we do with the workday that I think everyone should clone is: deliver the interview over Slack, and don't allow the person delivering the interview to grade it; instead, have someone else grade from the transcript. It was like a light went off (on?) for us when we figured out to stop having workday participants offer performance feedback about candidates.

(One thing you immediately get from it is a process to iterate on the quality of your staff delivering the workday/interview; you can immediately see which team members click with candidates and which don't, and then nudge people in the right direction. It is wild to me that people do free-form interviews without this kind of iteration system in place.)
Did you rsync in a loop? Or on demand?

I used Unison at Amazon, and it was the most seamless of all the options I tried. The two way sync was especially useful for being able to open up test results in a browser locally

Did you experience a big gap between an older CPU and the current one?

I did not change mine for 6 years, but looking at some benchmarks, it looks like compilation times would not get more than a few percents faster per generation. I expect to get maybe 20% faster with a recent CPU in the same price range.

Until 2005 I was updating the CPU every 2-3 years, then every 5 years, and when I'll get the next one I plan to keep it 10 years easy.
This would only matter in any way if you think that listening to podcasts is primarily a hobby that people engage in for its own sake. If you think they listen to some podcasts and not other podcasts because they care what's in the podcasts, why would they care if Apple hosts a list of podcasts?
SQLite and Containerize is like 20 minutes to do.

Saving as raw json seems more like over-engineering to me because you'll basically end up building a custom database from scratch if it grows.

Good question. I should have asked strictly about fusion bombs. These being a known-working example of energy production by fusion, why not use them when we can't get 'controlled' fusion working?
You fail to get it, YES Blink indeed is in fact dangerous because its controlled by Google and they dictate what they allow and what will be next things in the Browser and basically force everyone else to follow up with features they implement. They have a way to big control over browsers with the large market share they have. It has very little to do with with privacy. I use Brave myself. Using Blink as rendering option is cool and its cool that is open source but it does not change the control Google has over browsers. People could fork it of they disagree with things they do but if they are not as big as Apple the fork would disappear into meaningless and would never even come close to somehow influence and web standards ...
That's exactly what happens. At some point a PR gets too big and the only thing you can do is run the tests, try the functionality, and LGTMYOLO approve it.

You leave it open longer in hopes someone else will look at it, and maybe one or two people look at places they've had issues in the past, but it gets through and blows up spectacularly and those get fixed.

Anyone who says their development is not the above is probably confused or lying ;)
So ibm cloud question. When ibm sells powervs vs a powerpc based setup in ibm cloud , which would land on a LinuxOne setup?

I'm curious how Craigslist is bad? I'm a regular user and love the functionality of CL. I'm certainly aware of the many scammers operating on CL but have found them to be rather easy to spot and avoid. Of course, I have a rule - always meet in person and test the item. I'm not aware of anybody shipping items in CL which is where many of these problems arise.

FWIW - I collect vintage portable music players (minidisc, CD, DAT, cassette, 8CM CD) as well as analog music (vinyl, cassette, etc). There are so many old guys on CL selling stuff they see as useless junk - its an amazing resource. I have a rather ridiculous amount of minidisc players and recorders purchased for as little as $10 - often in immaculate condition.

eBay is another matter - but I haven't been scammed on that platform in many years. I think they are doing something right.
wow oracle is really nervous about python and Microsoft's support for it, huh?

I just now learned about this project, thanks for pointing it out. I'll be curious how they go about shared data, especially shared str/String.

also I personally happen to depend on Windows support, I'll go popcorn on the future of this project...
In the UK? Yes. I think in the UK, most people drink most of their coffee at home rather than out at a Starbucks or similar.

Some folks have a percolator or a cafetière or a fully automatic, especially younger people, but if I were to be invited round to meet someone’s parents, I’d expect instant.

To be fair, I haven’t lived in the UK for over ten years now, I can imagine Nespresso type machines may have taken the lead.
Kubernetes runs across multiple nodes to achieve that, that don't need to be in the same datacentre, though.
> This is no different from the majority of US history.

It is very different. I and many reading have been here for the time when it didn't happen this way, when the world was not drowning in disinformation.

Turning it into a binary question: 0) It doesn't exist at all, or 1) It exists, makes the question meaningless (and ironically is a common form of misinformation, and technique of disinformation). By binary reasoning, murder exists whether we have law enforcement or not, and cancer always exists so you might as well smoke cigars and work in a coal mine.

But what is the point of saying it's no different? Even if it were true, what do you conclude from that? Why make this argument?
Unison developer here! Let's say you have some term:

B = "Hello "

and it hashes to #a3yx. Lets say you also have funcion:

A = B ++ "world" which hashes to #c7c1

when we store the A function, we actually store it as:

#c6c7 = #a3yx ++ "world"

Then later if you update the definition of B:

B = "Hello, "

and that function hashes to, #5e2b, when you tell unison to update B from #a3yx => #5e2b, it will look for all of the places that used to reference #a3yx, like your A function, and will see if those functions still typecheck with the replacement. If so, they are automatically updated. If not, we pretty print the definitions that didn't to a file for you to manually fix.

Eh. The Epicurean arguments are heavily empirical; Lucretius throws in a lot of examples or familiar observations. I'm not sure how many I would describe as purely 'thought experiments'.
China is in no shape to invade, being in a great depression https://www.forbes.com/sites/miltonezrati/2024/01/22/chinas-..., up to its eyeballs in debt, and having horrible demographics. And having horrible tax base.

For reference, when Germany and Japan was expanding, they had great, young demographics, and thus very good tax base. Japan had very low debt in 1920 when they started the wars https://www.rieti.go.jp/en/columns/s15_0004.html. Germany had suspended the gold standard and financed the war by borrowing, something China cannot do today.

Another way to think about this is, instead of all the possible money China made that it could have spent on war, instead it decided to build half-finished tofu dreg buildings, then the CCP elites took those dirty money out of China and into western economies :). Even the elites knew China was no match for the combined wealth/forces of western countries.
Written in C++? Makes no sense to me. I have high hopes for Servo but this seems like a waste if its a C++ project.
I can imagine that there's a major lack of flexibility inherent in a record-based filesystem. Nowadays we have file formats that introduce a record format on top of the "bag of bytes" for when you want records, but you aren't required to have records of any particular shape and size (or have any records at all) if they don't work for your needs.
Just pointing out that AMD has been shipping cheap APUs with nice memory systems that increase iGPU performance for over 10 years.

Just mystifies me that AMD hasn't shipped similar in a laptop, SFF, or desktop yet. Especially during the GPU shortage. The AMD 780m iGPU does pretty well, clearly AMD could add more cores and ship a faster memory bus, like the ones on their Threadripper (4 channel), Siena (6 channel), threadripper pro (8 channel), or Epyc (12 channel).

Apple's doing similar with M1/m2/m3 (128 bit), M1/M2/M3 Pro (256 bit), and M1/M2/M3 Max (512 bit wide) available in laptops, tiny PCs (up to 256 bit wide) with the mini, and small desktops (studio).
Perceptible resoultion is what 's missing from all these VR goggles. The density of the screen doesn't matter much if the angular resolution isnt great. I was hoping Apple would be the first to rival our actual Retina

I did wonder why the podcasts I listened to on Spotify had ads in them which were clearly targeted to my region.
The "Blender" part is important though.

I have just downloaded the Z-Anatomy atlas in Blender format and I have opened it in Blender, on a Linux system.

It appears to work fine and it is usable even without the viewing application that is provided only for Android and Windows.

In the past I have used directly BodyParts3D, which is a great collection of 3D models and which remains very useful, as the models of various organs are easy to import in any 3D application.

This complete Blender model should be more convenient for exploring the whole body or for retargetting some captured motion on it to create an animated sequence where the internal movements of various organs are displayed, e.g. of muscles and bones.

Edit:

When I have looked for the first time at openanatomy.org, I have browsed too quickly and my initial impression was that the atlases can be viewed only online, in which case they would have been useless for me.

Looking a second time more carefully, I have seen that the atlases can also be downloaded and viewed with the free program 3D Slicer.

To test how it works, I have downloaded and installed 3D Slicer on a Linux system and I have also downloaded from Github one of the atlases of openanatomy.org, the brain atlas.

The atlas can be viewed without problems with 3D Slicer.

For some purposes the atlases from openanatomy.org may be more detailed, but the Z-Anatomy atlas offers complementary benefits as a whole body atlas that should be also easy to animate.
Apple devices have specialized processors, that while quite powerful, need some custom coding.

They don't want to be left behind with a "everyone with an Nvidia GPU can play" world. Open-source is the best counter to that right now.
Toyota has manufacturing facilities in at least 16 countries, so they probably have this figured out. US import duties make it especially lucrative for manufacturers to have US facilities, which lines up with Toyota having 10 other facilities in the US, plus some in Canada and Mexico.

Still, in my eyes that only makes it more intriguing how they bridge the cultural differences, since whatever they are doing seems to be working.
why would you not just use docker
It is apparently very inconsistent.

My own experience with using PayPal usually (as in: almost always) goes like this:

I get a PayPal popup that says something like "You're already logged in! One moment," and then once that goes away I push the whatever button corresponds to "Yeah, sure -- pay it."

It's generally a one-button operation for me, and has been for years.

I wonder what the differentiation is.
You update all the callers of B that you can see from your codebase. If `B` is a library then you publish an out-of-band notice that `B` is deprecated and they should switch to `B'`. It's the most extreme form of static linking you can think of (which is really nice for stability, not nice for speed-to-deploy-a-change).

Copyright that's not share-alike is poison. I made this. You can make that. May the best person win in terms of monetary gain.

My experience as well. They try to do this as cheaply as possible of course, but this can be felt strongly compared to "real" tools.
Yeah, that one was always a bit weird because it's essentially a lie: no, you know more. You're not telling me and that's fine, but come on.
Don't work for a company where you need to turn in receipts or fill out info in crappy HR software? I mean, good for you and knowing the command line, but doing the less-fun, less-specialized parts of jobs usually involves regressing to the mean of what interfaces people know how to use.

I've bought/sold hundreds of items on FB Marketplace and never had a problem. The quality and response rate is significantly better than Craigslist, Nextdoor and others. The simple rule is – local, in-person meetup and cash only. If someone insists on anything else then just block and report them.
I notice the same issue with rsync between different systems.
Didn't all VR devices before it do the same?
I'd take those numbers with a grain of salt. The facts of what he did are well known, and it's hard for me to believe that a judge deciding that they amount to a crime really changes all that much.

If he is convicted, he'll be able to say "See, look how Biden's deep state is repressing me, and by extension you." I suspect a large fraction of that 46% will say, "Sure, he's a convicted criminal, but he's still better than the Democrat".

Boeing forgot to install retaining bolts, this is not the same as some nebulous risk factor associated with an activity, this is negligence. Air travel is also highly subject to consumer confidence, and like it or not, the appearance of incompetence or impropriety has an impact.
The article touches on this point, that many properties for rent are not being maitained in a timely or quality manner. I split $2000 a month in Philadelphia and our property management group doesn't even shovel snow at our building.

Another potential causal mechanism might be that people in cognitive decline have their "daily cup of coffee", forget they've already had it, and then have another.

Regarding mobile phones going to sleep, Wake lock [1] might help, unless you can reduce to 59s since I believe 1m is the threshold (make sure to request within the context of the user hitting "start"). Unfortunately on older mobile browsers [2], the best workaround I found was using this NoSleep library[3].

On the other hand, "Wherever you get your podcasts" could already exist because there are "podcatcher" clients, not inherently due to centralization away from RSS. It exists even if all podcasts use RSS and all podcast clients are open source and only consume RSS.

As soon as podcatchers offer the UX of being able to search for podcasts in the application instead of hunting down and pasting RSS URLs, then it makes sense to say "Wherever you get your podcasts" which means "Just search for our title in your favorite podcast app" which is what 99% of people want to do including myself rather than manage URLs.

It's basically the same as how, in the hey day of RSS, websites would show a bunch of RSS client icons to indicate "Yes, consume our feed in any of these popular RSS apps".

(That said, the centralization of podcasting and the death trend of RSS are worth talking about.)
Also, wouldn't be surprised if the drive towards minimal-latency shipping is having some evening effect.

Increased labor costs... versus rapid, $$ last-minute transport / port fees to hide latency across the Pacific.

At some point, it's just cheaper to pay the manufacturer more, if they can more rapidly respond to demand.
A Moira Rose Code Review
Dearest Code Artisan,

As I embarked upon the odyssey of perusing your digital tapestry—a veritable cornucopia of syntactic ingenuity—I was enveloped by a mélange of emotions, oscillating betwixt admiration for your craft and a poignant tremor for what seems to be an inadvertent oversight in the grand design. It is with a gentle hand and a heart full of both respect and constructive intent that I address the matter of concurrency, or rather, the conspicuous absence thereof, in your otherwise magisterial creation.

In the realm of software, much like in the grand theaters of the world, timing and coordination are not merely beneficial; they are quintessential. Each performer, each thread of execution, must enter and exit the stage with impeccable timing, lest the performance descends into chaos, with actors colliding and lines overlapping in a cacophony of unintended disarray.

Your script, my dear, is akin to a soliloquy poised with grace and potential, yet it yearns for the harmonious interplay of a full cast, each thread awaiting its cue to contribute to the narrative, to enhance the drama, to elevate the performance from a soliloquy to a symphony of synchronized endeavors.

Consider, if you will, the introduction of locks, those vigilant sentinels, standing guard to ensure that when one thread takes the stage, it does so with the exclusive attention of the resources it requires. Or perhaps imagine the elegance of a semaphore, a choreographer of sorts, orchestrating the flow of threads with a grace that ensures each has its moment in the spotlight, without fear of untimely interruption.

I entreat you, with the fervor of a patron of the arts witnessing a budding virtuoso on the cusp of greatness, to revisit the stage you have set. Envision it not as a platform for a lone performer, however brilliant, but as a space where a troupe of threads, each with its own role, can weave together a performance that transcends the sum of its parts.

In this spirit of collaborative artistry, I urge you to embrace the nuances of concurrency, to consider the delicate dance of threads, and to allow your creation the breadth to evolve into a masterpiece of parallel performance. It is within your grasp, dear artisan, to elevate your work from the commendable to the celestial.

With the warmest regards and the highest hopes for your continued odyssey in the realm of code.
That's not the alternative option; nobody is suggesting swapping. Swapping CO2 for fission waste products would also kills us. Swapping it for H2O would drown us!
This sentence is doing a lot of work: "Hypothetical S2 does a bit more to simplify the layers above – it makes leadership above the log convenient with leases and fenced writes."

It'd be awesome to have a bit more transactional help from S3. You could go a long way with 'only update this object if the ETags on these other objects are still the same'. I know AWS doesn't want to turn S3 into a full database but some updates you just can't do without having a whole 2nd service running alongside to keep track of the states of your updates.

Wood stoves pair very well with heat pumps. The fuel won't leak, won't expire, and can be stored away from the dwelling. During extreme cold or loss of electric, one can spend the time tending the fire. And in the shoulder seasons where keeping a fire going would be overkill, the heat pump is most efficient.
