You definitely are not wrong, but remote work can also help the kind of individuals highlighted indirectly.

Perhaps a simple example is through remote work meaning fewer commuters, and so less traffic, less crowded trains, etc.

But also consider that schools and hospitals need to be near centers of population - if people are moving out of cities into smaller towns, then, over time, schools in those towns will need to grow, and those in the cities shrink, thus (one would hope) allowing teachers and hospital workers more affordable accomodation, close to their work too.

But, on the other hand, roles for janitors and restaurant workers may be reduced (if people are WFH and not needing office cleaning, and going out for lunch).
We’re hiring for an entry level position where I work. So entry level, that their first month is going to be dedicated to simply learning the framework we use.

However, we do require a base level of competency. We give out a 40-ish minute assessment. Two multiple choice and three coding problems.

And they’re easy. One of them is essentially “John has a 5 gallon bucket and 3 gallon bucket, how many buckets does he have?”. All you have to do is rewrite the clearly labeled circuit diagram as a Boolean expression.

Not a single person this round has passed. Several have failed the simple ones.

So while grilling people on the minutiae of a language or asking them to solve the traveling salesman is not beneficial, neither is nothing.

But the comparison was to Scots, which is (sometimes, not universally) considered a dialect of English rather than a separate language, but is hard for standard English speakers to understand. It's not just English with a Scottish accent. I have no idea how Portuguese feels to Spanish speakers or vice versa, but here's an example of modern Scots from Wikipedia. I'm curious how it compares.

(Edit: And here's a spoken example - https://youtu.be/am1MCJsEGYA)

> If certain places are popular to live in, and the prices of residences gets priced up by high-income individuals, low- and mid-income people—who are often the (so-called) 'support workers' in those communities—are pushed out and often have long commutes to their jobs.

And thus wages should increase for "support workers", currently the lifestyles of those living in such high desireable areas are subsidised by those taking terrible commutes.
FJCVTZS is really just "float to int with x86 semantics", which also happens to be the semantics that were baked into JavaScript. The name is probably just ARM dancing around mentioning a competing ISA.

When it comes to porting Win11, does MSFT have something like Rosetta to ease the pain for applications during the transitional period?

Sure, plenty of windows users (business and personal computing) rely primarily on first-party apps, browsers, and big flagship apps (which could presumably leverage Microsoft partnerships to release on new architectures early enough that users wouldn’t notice much pain). But the long tail of widely used applications that aren’t big enough that I’d trust them to release ports by the time of an ARM (or whatever) hardware release is huge in Windows land—much larger than on MacOS.

Shared web hosts are still a thing.
First, the competition is only in markets with free competition where everyone can compete. There are many market structures within a capitalist society (example - monopolies or where other barriers to entry exist) where this simply isn't true in some large scale way. Maybe you say that isn't true capitalism, but it's the form of capitalism that actually exists.

Think about fast food wages still being at minimum wage in a lot of places despite widespread competition. McDonald's CEO is rich, but their employees are still on welfare. Wages only went up during the pandemic when labor became scarce.
The Moral Limits of Bankruptcy Law
It depends. Usually local councils' websites are purely terrible.

DVLA is mostly very good, I'd say. Especially when dealing with vehicle registration, ownership change, taxing etc.

HMRC is in a category that I'd call "scary". Their website is nice and all but if you ever get locked out of their mobile app for confirming identity (or you delete it by mistake), it's really hard to fix the issue. This is connected to the fact that UK has no national ID card so they use various heuristic to confirm your identity.

UKVI is probably the worst as they don't offer a consistent experience. You can tell that some of their websites were developed in early 2000's and never updated.
When writing parsers, NEON suffers a bit from a lack of movemask and from tbl requiring that you mask off more high bits before using it (compared to pshufb). I mostly don't have complaints about AVX.

An indictment implies that charges are being filed and therefore that the prosecution already thinks they can prove their case. If they can't even prove if there is an underlying crime, what are they supposed to be preventing?

The entire problem is that they've set things up so they can charge people with something even if they can't prove the underlying crime, in order to exert undue leverage on them -- or even go all the way to conviction without ever proving the underlying crime, which is an injustice.

> And sadly the current market seems to only want A+ candidates.

You mean the current FAANG market paying top dollar. I know plenty of unknown companies taking B candidates because they aren't paying top dollar (in Europe at least)

>Who's fault is it really?

The governments and central banks for devaluing the currency post-2008 with their zero interest rates, causing the value of savings and wages to plummet and the value of assets, housing and stonks to skyrocket, causing people to chase get rich quick schemes on the stock market and on the jobs market. Coupled with the VC promoting for an unsustainable growth (more like pump and dump) of so called "tech companies" who's products were not economically viable from the get go, they just survived on zero-interest money and fake promises, artificially boosting the demand for SW workers casing many young people to go into tech just to chase money, money that's now gone and so is the demand for coders.

Without this artificial demand for devs caused by zero rates and overhype in the tech industry of financially unsustainable products that were banking on skirting the local laws (AirBnB, Uber, etc), then those people chasing money would have went into finance or investment banking to chase money there instead of causing a huge backlog of candidates in tech. Just my 0.02$
The solution is simple: since past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior, just let the few top candidates do the (paid) work for a few day/week/months and then keep only the best candidate.

Likely precursors have been known in both bats and pangolins since virtually the start of the pandemic (see below) and are widely found in those populations to this day; the entire catalogue of possible precursor genomes in both wild bats and pangolins is (and likely will remain) extremely undersampled (to the degree we barely see any of the current picture of the wild viral load of these animals), so your apparent expectation of them being found in anything like the population of almost entirely domesticated populations of Arabian dromedaries (MERS) and entirely domesticated commercial cattle (current H5N1 spillover risk) is quite simply ludicrous. As it’s entirely possible the spillover mutation was either within a single, long-eaten, animal sample or occurred in a single human post-infection there’s no reason to assume the original lineage of SARS-CoV-2 itself would ever be captured in any wild animal population.

I don’t even know how to speak to the bizarre (but possibly simply badly communicated on your part) assertion that human -> animal re-transmission events either should (or even could) result in a magic cessation of circulation in humans, as that’s just nonsensical. Post human SARS-CoV-2 lineage infections still persist in animal populations (mink, for example) and likely will continue to do so essentially forever… there’s literally nothing immaculate about this entire situation.

Little bit off topic, sorry.

Windows 10 support ending in 2025 is really scary. Literally billions of computers are not eligible to install Windows 11 because of artificial limitations, all of these are supposed to be trashed? That would be an enormous amount of e-waste.

Realistically one or a combination of the following will happen:

- Microsoft extends the deadline
- There will be a paid long term support update channel, and hopefully a registry edit will enable this (happened a couple of times before)
- Most people will continue to use it without security updates (most likely)

I guess Microsoft will agressively tell you that your OS is not safe, etc, so hopefully a single tool will exist that hides all of these messages and switches to the long term support updates.
Are we counting from 0 or 1?

> How does a janitor do remote work? A teacher? Restaurant workers? Hospital workers?

One thing about these workers is there is a limit on density, and in many cases a strong correlation with the number of people who live nearby. There are only so many janitors you need, even for a large office building. Same with health care workers. The number you need is a function of the number of beds the hospital has, its size, and how busy it is - which has a large correlation with how many people live around it. Same with cooks. How many cooks you need in an area is limited by restaurants and kitchen space and how many people are around.

Not so with workers who could be remote. You can pack them in by the thousands and tens of thousands into cubicles in downtown skyscrapers. They in tern drive demand for cooks who have to come work downtown in an area they could not afford.

If you make the people that could be remote, remote you reduce this pressure. No longer are you packing tens of thousands of people in a very small, expensive part of town. This reduces the number of cooks you need in the very dense expensive part of town. This reduces the cooks who have to commute to a part of town they could never afford to live in.

In addition, with the reduced number of potentially remote workers who are paying extra to cut down their commute, you reduce the price pressure of housing.

Remote work reduces density, lowers price pressure, and increases the correlation of work to where people actually live.

So it benefits even the jobs that can’t be remote.
> The part re excess mortality due to non-covid causes means Fauci killed lots of people.

No. To establish that "Fauci killed lots of people" you would have to show that
cumulative deaths would have been lower without actions that Fauci was responsible for (=> difficult because you lack a good baseline). This report most definitely does NOT show that.

Then, to have an actual case, you would also have to show that those decisions were made in a manner criminally neglecting facts known at the time (=> not 4 years later!).

HN tends to be highly skeptical of “if you don’t have anything to hide, you wouldn’t mind the lack of privacy” arguments.

I personally see a future where employers mandate the use of Recall and will audit employees’ activity for “compliance” purposes, to quash dissent, etc. I don’t like this future. (Employers already have the legal right to do this, but the implementation is neither commonly available nor commonly accepted, so Recall may nudge the needle on societal acceptance.)

In this future, you’d be stopped at the border and asked to hand over your Recall data and sanctioned based on political articles you read etc etc, imagine whatever slippery slope you like here.

It’s better for some employees.

Honestly sounds like a bad interviewer. repeated subtraction is a good first step and I would try to push more if that was the first implementation. But If you could derive a base 10 remainder you know conceptually what problem the mod operator is trying to solve.

a % b = a - (b * a/b) /assuming a sane language with integer division, else cast a/b to int/

Figuring the above operation (or getting close) is when you should more or less pass, and That's a good point to show the interviewee what the operation is. That should be the point of an interview problem, to show the thought process, not that you know fancy tricks.

But alas, I was shown an XOR swap in an interview last week and spent 3 minutes deriving it on paper instead of 3 seconds saying "oh yeah, a => b and b => a" to a trick that I haven't seen since college some decade ago. The current market loves tricksters, I suppose.

And yes, the actual real world use of modulo is surprisingly sparse, despite easily imagining situations where you could use it.

Unfortunately many people, in particular the leaders of industry in the USA, believe essentially the opposite: that any company almost has a duty to extract as much profit as legally possible, or even beyond, assuming profit > fines.

Janitors and restaurant workers are good examples, however hospital workers can be hybrid; remote classrooms have been a real thing since the 21st century.
Storyblok raises $80M to bring more AI into its 'headless' CMS
I think all leetcode gives you is a proxy for IQ in the language of code. If someone excels at leetcode, they should be relatively smart and able to write code.

Excellent! That’s a something, a something you can measure. Back when I was involved in hiring, it was definitely better than not having that (at junior levels).

However, the idea that “IQ is all you need” is so obviously false that I think you need to reconsider. Bill Gates famously, (infamously?), hired for IQ. Microsoft used puzzles as their IQ proxy, and I think leetcode is just a modern variant. Possibly a worse version, as training has a bigger effect.

Bill Gates later would claim that he overvalued intelligence. I would say that intelligence is necessary but insufficient. We would get further, faster, with a quick IQ test and then dig into the candidates experience, communication ability and personality. No need to study!

The FAANG companies all have a line a mile long of candidates willing to put up with any amount of BS for a chance to work for the name and $$. If you aren’t such a company, trying to hire that game changing person for $$’s you can afford to pay is going to require a different approach.
