Do you have a source you can point me to regarding sex imbalances in china historically. demographics, and its sibling, economic growth are super fascinating subjects.
Reverse osmosis also removes calcium, magnesium, and sodium. So it should be equally "dangerous".

I find hard to believe every language in the planet can be successfully expressed using some sort of alphabetic system, except for Japanese/Chinese (and local variants)
I also suspect one of the driving reasons is to inflate reports. Sony is doing a similar thing by requiring PSN accounts on PC games - its to show their share holders that MAU number go up.
>any other assessment based interview where you need to prepare?

because most other assessment based interviews are based on what you do on the job, likely stuff you've done at previous jobs as well. Less prep time when you spent thousands of hours already as a career.

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

> However, healthcare workers and others in similar professions often don’t have the ability to work remotely. In fact, Healthcare workers in New York have the worst commute times of any profession at 52 minutes on average.

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.

Confidence in the financial system comes from knowing you won't suddenly lose access to your funds, and AML promotes the opposite of this. There are countless stories of small businesspeople suddenly being locked out of their bank accounts because their transaction patterns looked suspicious. On the global level, more and more countries are reducing the dependence on the US dollar to avoid sanctions or appropriation; without AML laws the US dollar would be in a much stronger position internationally as countries wouldn't have to worry about their funds being blocked or frozen.
This was published quite a few years ago, possibly 2012, the last date mentioned near the end. I remember reading it a while back. I clicked this link hoping there was an update.

Security researcher discovers Microsoft's Recall tool is woefully insecure
Again, you are way more likely to get myocarditis from Covid than the vaccine.
It really is disgusting that they'll block workarounds like this. Do they REALLY need to force this on the less than 1% of users who might use such workarounds?

You can use a program called Rufus to create a bootable flash drive from a Windows ISO which lets you bypass the Microsoft login.

DRY should honestly just be restated as "Avoid multiple source of truth", two pieces of code that look similar but have two separate goals are not something that falls under DRY unless you can pull out some common logic that actually is the same goal and can become the single source of truth for that goal.
Coding and Keyboards (2023)
I agree that the "oh my god, she plagiarized someone" shock & horror was mainly (not entirely) an exercise in firing her, without admitting the main reason - that she initially gave lukewarm pushback to the hysterical "anti-semitism is widespread on campus" fake hoax.

In hindsight, she (& others) might feel that they ought to have pushed back more strongly, and debunked this hoax more definitively, when it was first trotted out.

Since then, we've had, on campuses, Zionist students made into media darlings for a day for being stabbed in the eye, when all that happened is that a piece of fabric lightly brushed her cheek. While other (Seinfeld funded) students attacked campus protestors with lead pipes and whatnot, but getting away scott free.

It's like McCarthyism, mixed with 30's era brownshirts, with the mainstream media coverage being directed by Goebbels.
I wonder what has changed? People today who attempt to get a piece of land and do subsistence farming usually discover it is way more work then they are used to doing and quit.

Likely the Good Friday Agreement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Friday_Agreement
Microsoft is famously a handful of very different and very large companies who don't seem to speak. The DevDiv part is a lot different now than 20 years (or even 10) ago.

The other sides of Microsoft are mostly the same as they always were.

Microsofts OS division have bet everything on the strategy that "enthusiasts" aren't going to run Windows anyway. It's a segment they never cared about, and nothing indicates they ever will. I don't agree with the strategy (because it's these enthusiasts who recommend things to everyone around them and of course fix their parents machines every Christmas since the 90s), but I'm going to guess that more clever people than me have run the numbers and reached the conclusion that it's better to alienate our 10% of the Windows user base while catering only to enterprises and the non-tech-savvy users who are actually likely to buy the subscription recommended on the start menu. We weren't going to do that anyway now were we?
That's true that little kids get playtime, but that tapers off pretty quickly before adolescence. You don't see 12th graders with significant time to talk and play unless they are in after school sports.

Which is kind of my point, one could homeschool for academics and then supplement with after school sports for socialization.
>Reading through the thread it seems that my experience is not universal, and the majority here have had less pleasant interviews, so I understand where you are coming from.

it changes immensely based on the job market. I've defintiely tanked some inerviews hard, stumbling on softball questions that shoulda been a bullet point. But I get pretty far or even gotten offers.

The last 12-18 months though? I've had interviews that felt like a dream but got zero follow up to. Been ghosted after seemingly final rounds where I spent 5+ hours on technical tests. It's not even enough to "understand the problem and communicate steps". You gotta be flawless, and you still might be cut compared to 3 years ago where a "C" performance could still land multiple offers as long as your experience made up for the quiz questions.
No, because I feel like mentioning previous employers AND mentioning the languages I speak would get quite specific.

You are interested in Eastern Europe, so you should be familiar with olympiads; ask around any circle of ex-olympiad participants and you are bound to find something.

I am not sorry if you took offense; you're either from one of these countries and are clueless to the circles that exist next to you, or you are not from one of these countries and are trying to be offended on behalf of others.

>Not everything can be done over Zoom or an SSH session.

Agreed. However, if everyone who is capable to work remote will decide to do so, it would free up lane capacity for those who aren't able to.

This would be akin to getting a free infrastructure upgrade for those who truly need it.
I failed FizzBuzz the first time someone gave it to me in an interview...

The specific failure was that I first attempted to solve by using repeated subtraction. The guy kept asking me to "solve it a different way", or saying "there is a better way to solve this". I tried using arithmetic tables, I tried using results about base10 remainders and I even tried using one of the corollaries to Fermat's little theorem to speed it up for larger inputs... every time I was told I was getting it wrong because "there was a better solution".
In the end he pointed out that the only solution he would accept was use of the mod operator.

Since then I have actively kept a tally: I naturally use the mod operator an average of twice a calendar year, it has always been in personal life code when dealing with complicated geometry problems, the bit of code containing it almost always fails on some edgecase because at the point of using mod it is convoluted.

That seems clear to me. They used stolen identity information to make false unemployment insurance claims in other people’s names.

The CFO bought the prepaid cards at a discount and then transferred the whole amount to the company account.

Maybe there’s more to it but it doesn’t sound like it was very sophisticated and seems inevitable they would be caught eventually.
The term is used ubiquitously in the field of technology and has been for a long time. We also have Tech or Software Architects, and quite obviously they don't do Real Architecture™ or civil engineering, but the concept makes sense.

It's just a job title, arguably one without the protections or standards afforded to chartered engineers, and with an incredibly low barrier to entry. Pretty much the reason we have to do this ridiculous dance with tech tests, LeetCode, and 12 stage interview processes.
It very much is. Batallions are being sent on foot with very light APC backing, or in cheap chinese off-road gold buggies with no protection. Maybe an occasional T62 or something archaic for support.

No it doesn't. The study was the outcome of the vaccine irrespective of what happens after you get the vaccine. Get a full covid infection? Still counted. Get no infection? Still counted.

Windows 11 LTSC just came out last week and no online account needed
> VSCode, GitHub, and Typescript

So true. Majority of my time on the computer is dominated by these, and I'm not comfortable they're all owned by Microsoft.

I don't see how they could ruin a programming language, but a code editor and centralized code repository.. Especially the latter, I'm surprised how long it's been since the acquisition and so far it's been mostly unaffected by the inevitable enshittification.

The only thing that will incentivize Microsoft from ruining these admittedly great products is the existence of viable alternatives. Same with Windows, minus the great part.
There were 4 occurrences of the word "super" in an article with more than four thousand words in it, there is no need for "etc." you quoted all the occurrences since "super curious" was used twice.

OT: I think it also shows the bad iGPU compared to Apples offerings, so too many x86 laptops have additional GPUs, which reduces battery life (we'll see what Strix brings)

Also both have 16 performance cores, but the Ryzen is faster in multicore. The Ryzen is one year later b/c due to node access/ costs. Doesn't look like "far behind".

> Agreed. However, if everyone who is capable to work remote will decide to do so, it would free up lane capacity for those who aren't able to.

Less traffic reduce stress, but you still have distance to deal.

And that assumes you can drive, and you're not too poor or have some other factor which restricts your ability to own/operate a car.

> But when one train recently stopped for a sick passenger, her commute expanded to a mind-boggling three hours and 15 minutes. She was late. To make up the lost time, she stayed longer with her patient instead of picking up her granddaughter from school. She had to enlist a neighbor to do that — for $35.

Why shouldn’t they when France is attacking them?
'brain' will suffice here.
Yeah, there's also the implication here that Americans rarely cheat. They aren't as public because English is under a microscope, but there are definitely answer banks if you know the right person and can fork over the cash.

If it's anything like High School/College, the sad part is these kinds of people could probably do well in interviews regardless. These answer banks are simply the difference between an A and an A+. And sadly the current market seems to only want A+ candidates. Who's fault is it really?
Dissecting the Crab Nebula with JWST: Pulsar wind, dusty filaments
If I had to guess, a tool like this might be useful in a shop with a lot of inexperienced devs. It's a thin wrapper to make sure everyone walks the same well worn path the same way. You have 2-3 devs work on the tooling, and a much larger team doing rote ETL.

I worked at a shop that did this and the trade-off is TTM, as your 2 person tools team is constantly needing to unblock ETL team with new features as they encounter new requirements in the wild.

If your ETL team is 20+ people and the tools team doesn't have a head start, tools team will quickly fall behind an insurmountable backlog as your ETL team spins its wheels. But you might save some money if you choose the right KPI..
The main value proposition is being able to query the data in SQL. Personally I find that more ergonomic than Pandas for a lot of tasks.

It also works seamlessly with Pandas in Jupyter notebooks. You can query dataframes seamlessly and store query results back into dataframes for plotting etc.
I’d like to know how other professions are hired. Do CPAs get challenged with hard tax problems and no access to reference material? Do plumbers replace a toilet in an interview?

Sure, via the Name Constraints extension.

Supposedly client support is spotty, but I have no experience in practice. Anything relatively modern could support it.
The vaccines significantly reduce the severity and duration of covid. Reduced severity translates to a lower risk of complications, including myocarditis. It doesn't have to prevent infection completely to protect you.
if they say not, does that imply another vector that they may or may not know about given the author had already found a compromised device.
I’m not saying that you cannot write vector code, but that it’s typically a special case. CUDA APIs and annotations are bolted onto existing languages rather than reflecting languages with vector operations as natural first class operations.

C or Java have no concept of `a + b` being a vector operation the way a language like, say, APL does. You can come closer in C++, but in the end the memory model of C and C++ hobbles you. FORTRAN is better in this regard.
> Most will go along with this because it's free this exact minute and most people follow strictly the path of least immediate resistance. You can make most people do anything you want by just making anything else 0.0001% more difficult. This is not cynical, this is studied.

This is terrifyingly accurate.
>if politicians denigrate their competition instead, and paint everyone outside their camp as enemy/traitor/unvotable, then this essentially frees them from having to compete on policy

What? How does the conclusion follow from the premise? That a politician resorts to ad hominem fallacies does not by itself mean that whoever listens to them will act purely on those fallacies over everything else. Moreover, the voters are just as likely to vote based on similar fallacies that they come up with themselves. "Oh, I don't like that guy, he has a bent nose." Ultimately it's each voter's responsibility to judge the candidates based on appropriate metric and not be swayed by bullshit, whether of their own creation or not.
> I am just running a social experiment.

So you're just a troll.

The "document" is a 300-page book of medical studies. How about you read it and give us a summary?
This is really insanity. They just come up with some BS and spread it for marketing purposes only.
This looks interesting. After a number of years in in the JavaScript webdev ecosystem, I have been planning to reviews what has been happening in Python since I was last active. This looks like a good place to start.

It's also run by a cult.
I mean these things seem very different? AES is "just" a bunch of mathematical operations done on 16 byte chunks, you can make instructions which optimize that fairly easily. JSON is mainly a parsing problem, which .. is much harder to do in hardware. Hardware acceleration shines when you can do operations on large chunks of data at once.

SSE/AVX/NEON/RVV are all general sets of vector operations, which can be used to optimize certain parts of parsing, as simdjson does. If there could be instructions added to further optimize JSON parsing, I have a feeling that they would be new general purpose vector instructions rather than anything JSON-specific.

Or do you have any JSON-specific instructions in mind which would help beyond what the existing vector instructions already do?

Hypecasting is a nice word
In response to the default Darcula theme on Windows, specifically the gray for the comments vs. the gray background: https://contrastrebellion.com/

In SQL Management Studio it is easy to work with stored procedures. The server starts the tree on the left, and all databases on the server are the next level down (not a separate connection for each database). Then beneath that (2 levels) each stored procedure is listed and can be opened easily for modification in the editor.

I will return to this app if I need to munge/import data in the future but it's not worth the effort for my normal work with stored procedures as best I can tell from a quick start. It's not immediately clear how to pull a stored procedure up in the editor without running a query manually to grab its definition.
yep. while it's less "a decade ahead" than the prop1 was back then, it's still a powerhouse. we use it for autopilots.
.NET Core would be great if it weren't tainted by the New Microsoft policy of turning all tools into spyware.
