I think you're being a little disingenuous here. Nobody claims to know Norwegian, it's just that the value of knowing it is not as valuable now that I can just use Google Translate to talk to a Norwegian.

I do agree that memorization is important, by the way. I just think that it's useless if you can't also derive your way there. Nothing wrong with having checkpoints in your mind though.
I was a teenager at that point. I learnt C in the early 90s and C++ after 96 IIRC. Didn’t start professionally in games until 2004 though!
No need for it to be the same. The point is that research fails ALL THE TIME. It is trivially easy to believe that the public route, by chance and to no fault of the researcher's competence, does not work whereas the private one did. So what happens then? Because that is basically where we are now, it's just that the government lost money funding one particular idea.

It would be great if the public developed useful, novel drugs. But if you're proposing a system where the private side can still develop them, patent them, and sell them at a high price; then it's not really different from today. You shouldn't assume that both parties would solve problems independently and redundantly. It doesn't even really make sense to pursue alternative development. If there's a cure for X; are you REALLY going to encourage public researchers to find a different cure for the same thing to try and lower the cost of the drug? That sounds like a very ineffective approach.

Ehm... Do not take me wrong but "break application silos and connect business data to a single platform" mean "escape many jails, just come in our unified jail".

To be free we need usable data, so for instance instead of strange zipped file formats a spreadsheet (witch should not exists, but that's another story) should save data as *sv/SQLite DB by default, a visual doc should be LaTeX or something similar and so on. The suite should be only a viewer.

> a flexible enough programming structure, moving things around and changing your mind about the most desirable approach several times a day is common during heavy development phases.

That's the kind of code for which Rust-like languages shine. Rich type systems make it easy to change your mind about things and make large changes to your code with confidence.

(Whether Rust tooling is actually at a level to take advantage of that is another question)
Had to look up ECS to be honest, and it's pretty much what I already do in general dev. I don't care to classify things, I care what I can do with something. Which is Rust's model.
I feel like spaced repetition is exactly what you shouldn't do. Spaced repetition is great for rote memorization of arbitrary facts but programming is about how to think about and solve problems.

If you master the methods and ideas, you should be able to derive the answers on the spot. That's better than memorization because then you can actually deal with real interviewers who 1) Want to hear your train of thought and 2) Will give you random changes or variants to problems.

It's not about memorizing solutions, because in reality when are you ever going to reverse a linked list or balance a red-black tree? No, so if you're going to put in the effort anyway, you should learn the concepts and understand when to apply them so your knowledge is actually applicable. This will actually make you a better programmer, and you'll do better with the interviews that are actually good (I speak with experience giving interviews at FB).

I only search if GPT4 does not provide what I need, which in about 80% of cases it does. My use cases tend to be ones where it’s fairly obvious if the results are true or not, which, once again, they are in the vast majority of my requests, and even when GPT4 is wrong it’s often “usefully wrong” in the sense that it gives me better idea of what to search for in traditional search engines.
> These are real issues that exist right now, have no solutions, and all threaten various aspects of the fabric of society and our legal system.

Can you share a few examples?
I don't understand the Western approach to drugs. If what you value is individual liberty and the principles of self-ownership and not punishing victimless crimes, you decriminalize drug use. If what you value is the elimination of the individual and societal harms of drug addiction, you jail users and execute dealers like Singapore. The half-measures taken by Western governments seem to combine the worst aspects of every possible approach, both disrespecting the individual and failing to protect society.

I'd be skeptical of arguments that it's better not to try.

Once the winners take all, they tend to redecorate such that their power is easy to keep and hard to lose. Once they've done that, they don't have to worry so much about continuing to display whatever merits made them winners in the first place. No need to deliver on whatever promises made. No need to support whatever products sold. You're on top, your enemies are pre-crushed, you can now relax.

I agree that protecting our ability to revoke their legitimacy is not a path to a stable equilibrium. It'll take work to ensure that they can not in fact relax. But I think it's work worth doing. Much like how a farmer selects cultivars based on their desirable properties, so should should the masses wield their ability to revoke legitimacy and artificially select a more desirable culture among their leadership.

...which is why consistency is the wrong part of the CAP theorem to preserve. It makes it possible for the powerful to forbid states where they're later not powerful by labeling those states "inconsistent". If you have consistency, revoking their legitimacy means abandoning the protocol.

If inconsistency is possible, you don't have to rebuild anything. Instead just reconfigure your part of it to trust different people.

Who says you can't change your passkeys? Just log into the site with your existing passkey (or other 2FA) and change it.
> Municipalities only care about cost cutting - so there was no investment in wiring infrastructure or customer service. So I think there is an argument to be made that we may take for granted a bit the difference between rails/roads and fiber optics.

Municipal ISPs and ISPs leasing municipal infrastructure dominated PCMag's speed ratings until they excluded local ISPs. Many have excellent satisfaction ratings. Large private ISPs consistently have some of the worst of any business.

>Seriously, the argument is that drug companies should only do the most profitable thing?

You're the first one to make any kind of suggestion for what they should do, so I'm not sure why you're jumping to that conclusion

>If that's the case, they deserve to have all subsidies removed, and be regulated into oblivion, because they will serve no purpose, but profit.

The purpose that they serve is to save your life with drugs. If that doesn't mean anything to you and isn't worth any money then I don't think we will find much common ground.

In your analogy, drug companies are the doctors. They want to make money for saving your life. Why would you want to regulate them out of existence?
It's easier to build resilience as a single network or organization than by "hoping" to have that with two different ISPs (who will obviously both of taken the cheapest route dig wise between A and B). If I need two diverse fiber paths between points X and Y, I can go to one provider who can contractually guarantee diversity. For example, they can ensure that maintenance work on Circuit 1 is not scheduled at the same time as Circuit 2, and that the paths are never less than X metres between them, as they are fully aware of the two paths.
Oh, I don't know. When my brain is on autopilot I'm prone to accidents too.
It’s mindblowing that you think compassion means letting s hoard of people absolutely destroy areas of a major cities and not, you know, an over correction to “war on drugs”-like awful policies.

For the individual drug user things might be “better”, but for cities/society they are absolutely not.
Jesus, now that's what I call comprehensive.

On the "hot reloading" remark: I believe that, to some extent, compiled languages that lean into metaprogramming are innately at odds with the concept of hot reloading. You're spitting out a (mostly) monolithic binary - rewriting that on the fly just isn't going to be reliable beyond an extremely basic level, and shoving it all into some kind of VM for the purposes of hot reloading introduces variance and general performance overhead that both mean that the "hot reload" environment is no longer an accurate depiction of the real application's behavior.

> I think about Starcraft from 1998, created when virtually all PCs only had one core, and its 200 unit per faction cap. Blizzard hasn't increased this cap because it doesn't necessarily make the game more fun.

That small scale was exactly why the game ends up being so much about micro, and while that may make it more competitive or interesting for spectators it makes it a lot less fun to play IMO. Total Annihilation and successors were a lot more fun, and a big part of that was not having arbitrary unit caps in a way that affected gameplay; expanding the limit from 500 to 1500 did genuinely make the game more fun.
I would also assume that modern munitions are much more likely to either immediately explode or fail (relatively) safe rather than lingering as highly volatile UXO. According to the OP about a quarter of the shells fired back then didn't detonate on impact, and those certainly weren't designed to fail-safe.

There was an incredible post on HN a couple years ago about a guy who would test experimental sweeteners and one of them left his mouth tasting sweet for several months. I tried to find it in the past but never could.
>At this point, internet is like electricity. Except that I have more choices for power providers than I do for internet.

"choices for power providers" in this context is probably the choice of the company that generates your electricity, not the company that delivers those electrons to your house. Given how the electricity grid works, the exact electrons you're getting might not even be related to the company you're supposedly buying power from. In this respect the electricity provider can't really be compared to an ISP.
I wish it weren't so but I think the chances are more like 20/80 (harmony/greed) :/
> decades of "maybe years in jail for drug use is excessive?",

Which is why we have a massive network of treatment and diversion programs often initiated by courts directly. It's been a long time since we've had a true "black and white" enforcement regime.

> drugs used by the wealthy generally have lower penalties than those use by everyone else

Wealthy people smoke crack too. What they can afford is to insulate themselves from the risk by being several layers removed from the transactions.

> Treat drugs the same way we treat alcohol

There are dry counties. There are states with specific ABV prohibitions in certain products and with dispensing limits in establishments. Some states have state operated liquor stores. The way we treat alcohol is not homogenous.

Then we'd have to get into product safety, licensing and liability concerns. What process should a "herion shop" be required to submit to before opening?

>> Except that I have more choices for power providers than I do for internet

>I've lived in over 15 different places in the US, and I have never, ever had more than 1 option for power provider.

In NYC, Con Edison[0] delivers power to customers. It also generates power, but other power generation companies share their delivery infrastructure in NYC.

As such, there are at least half a dozen folks I can buy my power from. But all of it is delivered by Con Edison -- which, by the way, charges more for delivery than it does for the power itself.

This may well be different from other places in the US/world, but that's how it is here.

N.B.: I too, have only two choices (spectrum and RCN) for broadband where I live, but (as I mentioned) at least half a dozen power providers.

Amazon is the only company I know of that has to have contingency plans for blowing through the available local workforce, their treatment of people is that bad. I have been at the very bottom of society, and everyone chose to work somewhere else than an Amazon warehouse, including the local refuse recycling plant sorting putrid trash that paid less.
octo is latin for 8.

so the parent comment is saying that while at one point it may have been possible to derive the name from the number of the month, that is no longer the case because names and numbers do not match up and therefor the name would not be undevigintiber. thought it might be septendecimber ;-)
It's said that software is never finished, only abandoned, but games actually do get finished. And at that point any maintainability is absolutely irrelevant. It's just very different to web programming.

In many places your delivery is fixed but you can choose who to buy the power from. It’s all mixed in the grid of course but they do buy proportionate power from the generation companies.

It’s more common in gas service in my experience than in electric.

Personally I have 10+ choices for gas supplier, 2 choices for buried internet (eg excluding Starlink, etc), and 1 choice for power (co-op)
Exactly. Govt owning physical fibre in a P2P network (i.e one fibre back to the pop per user) is perfectly fine because an ISP can encrypt between the pop and the user (that comes as standard with pon for example) but anything* involving active equipment is a massive no no in my view.

Agreed though it’s also worth noting that every time an autopilot fatality hits the news it’s combined with the driver also not paying attention. Often it’s claimed that the driver isn’t paying attention because of their faith in autopilot. And that is the real issue. Even Tesla themselves say it shouldn’t be relied upon, despite what their marketing suggests.
Hey I just want to add, in addition to your advice here, there are other important aspects to interviewing beyond performance on Leetcode questions. In other words, it's sometimes necessary, but not sufficient. Most senior jobs require system design interviews, conversations about leadership, and more.

I think "grinding" on Leetcode also entails learning and practicing a lot of irrelevant topics for many jobs, but there are newer resources out there that help you focus on what you need to know for specific roles. I don't like to plug my own company, but Exponent[1] is designed to help with this more 'well-rounded' interview prep for different types of engineering paths, and we also have a mock interview feature that helps you iron out your communication skills with other candidates.

You paying $50 for 10 gig doesn't mean internet costs $5/gig to provide and you can give the poor broadband access for 13 cents. Most of the cost is fixed, $15 is uneconomical for any ISP in the US.

> The open letter links directly to evidence which is not hearsay.

If you're referring to the two blog posts, that is testimonial evidence only. While it /is/ possible to convict on the basis of only testimony, it's very rare, as testimony usually needs to corroborated by documentary or physical evidence, or at minimum be supported by a preponderance of other types of evidence which makes the claims against a defendant more likely to be true than that they are false.

I am not you, I don't know you, and I don't have any particularly strong opinion about this situation. That said, you're all over the comments here, trying to defend the contents of the open letter. If you believe in this so strongly, I'd advise that you provide stronger evidence to support your position. Simply believing someone else who told you something is not substantial or corroborative.
Quick note: I'm actually very slowly prototyping something like this here: https://github.com/alexispurslane/embryo-engine/

A lot of education "experts" (people doing education research, policy and Ted talks) are usually privileged enough that their parents forced them to memorise enough phonics and times tables to get to college, and think that the teachers who tried to do the same were just wasting their precious time when they could have been doing interesting things like talking about philosophy.

Education as a discipline has no real knowledge or skills in the Anglosphere beyond basic essay writing. Historically teaching was a craft, taught in trade schools or on the job, but for various reasons it moved to university without universitiea having of the content developed, so universities took the low road and asked PhD candidates to essentially write essays on the philosophy of education so that's now the content.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. And those who can't teach, teach teachers, and since the content is just writing essays on the philosophy of education their confidence in non-existent abilities is never pressure tested.
I’m really not sure the “only real solution” is every human needs to selfhost a password manager. That’s ill-advised; an extreme take.

The vast majority of the population will do a worse job on the availability and security of a selfhost solution than 1Password, whose core business and value proposition is password management.

I’m a very happy user of 1Password for Families and consider it the likely the best ~$50 a year that I spend on hosted technologies.
You can view TikTok’s that are just from your followed accounts quite easily. However, they’re not nearly as high quality because TikTok is pretty good at guessing which videos are better than others per audience.

I think what Facebook did took it way too far when they started promoting meme content over pictures of your friends and their experiences. It really ruined the site. But TikTok seems to have done it right where you can ignore the algorithm if you choose.
