I love Nabokov. In fact, I named a stray cat after him who has since abandoned me. Or I, him. If you want a more approachable book of his to start off (pale fire is tremendous but daunting) I would recommend Laughter in the Dark. It is short and moves effortlessly. The characters are charming and evil. The plot reads like a suspense thriller. It is a wicked, wicked delightfully wicked book.

Anyways, if you've seen my cat please feed him.

ChatGPT(3.5t/Programming)> are you online?

Yes, I'm here. How can I assist you further?

> It's not more cruel than introverts forcing extroverts into not socializing.

Well that's the point: Society has made it acceptible for extroverts to force introverts into socialising, but the other way round is somehow inacceptible.

> Having fun at work is no more a right than not having fun at work is a right.

Having or not having fun is no right in itself anyway. Companies that force introverts into situations they are uncomfortable with are eventually going to lose them. The extrovert's fun stops where it is actively harming the introverts. Undermining introverts' feelings by making them feel uncomfortable in order to have fun is harassment.
I think the 3/4s have a lot of limitations indeed. The 5s are a bit more powerful, so I'm expecting your experience would be better.

Wasn't aware of NixOS, looks pretty interesting but I'm not sure about how easy / reliable it'd be to run it on a Pi 5 (https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/NixOS_on_ARM/Raspberry_Pi_5). I'll be keeping an eye on it though!

As far as Helm vs Ansible, I'm using Ansible to deploy the basics (bootstrap control plane & worker nodes, networks plugin) and then everything is deployed with IaC (Pulumi) which installs Helm releases.
1. I’ve worked at multiple companies that absolutely have expert interviewers who design the interview questions and then teach mid-level engineers how to proctor them correctly. It’s like one 30 minute meeting, it’s not that big a deal.

2. All tech companies I’ve worked at since around 2015 have completely standardized interview questions, sometimes also hosted in a GitHub repo where any employee is free to comment or even open a PR to request a change. Every candidate gets the same questions. This thing where “faang” interviewers just pull a random LC question out of their ass is complete insanity to me. An organized set of questions takes a senior engineer like a week to organize and commit to… And if your questions can be memorized and recited by rote memory and the candidate can do well on it without the proctor knowing, then your questions are BAD or your proctor is a moron.

3. I’ve never worked anywhere where I would describe the interview like this. Even the startup where I was the first engineer and there was no formal “test”, it was an hour long chat with the technical cofounder where he grilled me about coding skills and past experience/accomplishments. I won’t take a job if the interview isn’t asking me things that focus on my existing experience and skills, it’s a red flag about the company culture in general.

As for your “universal problem,” I disagree with fatalistic takes where you just throw your hands up and say “whatever shall we do” all the while YOU are the one benefitting from the system that cannot be changed. This is how simple-minded people think about the world.

There’s a lot of irony saying this about bare metal vis-à-vis k8s. Maintaining individual servers isn’t difficult, doing it at scale with high availability and the requirement of upfront investment (hardware, colo, staffing, etc.) is. Doing k8s at scale isn’t a walk in the park or a cheap date either, though.

In a way when people talk about encryption what they really mean is authorization to access data.

The actual facts of whether or not data are encrypted using some whiz bang algorithm are irrelevant as long as some intermediary is ensuring that the data are only accessible by the intended clients.

Sometimes I wonder if all the focus on encryption is actually wasting cycles that could be spent instead making sure the authorization model is bulletproof.

For instance if a DBMS could ensure that only client A can access client A's data then does it matter if the data are stored encrypted in the DB?

You might say, well if they aren't encrypted then anyone with root can just read the data directly but it may be the case that anyone with root will be able to access the data regardless of whether it's encrypted because they can just pull it from the memory space of the DB engine.

There are a lot of considerations but it does seem like people get caught up in the "how" of encryption because of all the fancy maths and cool sounding algorithms rather than focusing on the "what" they're actually trying to accomplish which is usually "prevent clients from accessing data they shouldn't be able to access".
How is that new information "challenging old ventilation doctrine"? It confirms old ventilation doctrine: monitoring CO2 remains a good proxy for general air quality, including viral and bacterial threats, and reducing CO2 via ventilation reduces other threats. That's doctrine, and now it has stronger evidence to support it, and another possible explanation for why and how well CO2 is correlated with other air quality issues.

Ventilation good. CO2 bad. No challenge to old ventilation doctrine detected. (The article and the research seems much more nuanced than the silly title.)
Interface Builder was a marvel.
Yes, but on small, self-contained projects so that your engineers don’t have to even think about it.

e.g. You need an internal dashboard but your teams are busy working on customer-facing features? You write it.

One time we suddenly and urgently needed to start caching responses from an external service. My manager wrote something simple in a day or two. Meant that the team didn’t get distracted from the more complex work we were doing.
The first constraints are the required ones:

- The sum of (color value * color quantity) for all colors must equal the buy-in
- For each color, (color quantity * number of players) must be less than the total number of chips of that color

Theoretically any combination adhering to these constraints would be valid, but it wouldn't necessarily be "nice." The main idea behind the "niceness" constraints are to choose denominations that are easy to remember and easy to work with. To that end, there are a number of requirements and soft constraints that nudge the optimizer towards better denominations if it can. For example, a few are:

- One chip value should be the small blind, and try to minimize the number of chips required to make the big blind
- Chip values should try to be multiples of a set number ($0.25 by default, tunable in the UI)
- Chips above $1 should be multiples of $1
- Chip values should try and be multiples of smaller chip values so that change can be made in as many ways as possible
- Distribute as many chips as possible so that people have big stacks to play with

The code for all of the constraints is here, and is commented in English for readability:

No need to be sarcastic. We are trying to develop ideas and have a conversation

We are not trying to prove who is right and who is wrong

Regardless of whatever the mainstream agreement in physics might be regarding a preferred model for reality, everyone experiences reality directly, without any need for science or math. And they can express those experiences and ideas in their own way

If you don’t agree with someone else’s ideas, please just explain why politely, and also maybe even try to understand their point of view. What would things look like if they were actually right? How might theirs be a good idea?

Thank you

I guess there must be different rules for "boarding houses" as normally you'd have all kinds of trouble if you restricted housing based on age, marital status, and gender.

It's possibly a contributing factor to the housing crisis that very few places like this still exist. It seems to be a more affordable way to live than to have to rent a fully isolated studio or 1-bedroom apartment as a single person and have to shop for food and prepare meals.

In the realm of applications, most engineers would say that our confidence in the RH (or more realistically, downstream consequences thereof) is high enough to treat it as true. The proof is, for applications, a formality (albeit a wide-ranging, consequential one!).

More likely, a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis would require new ideas, techniques, and math. It is probable that those devices would have broader reach.

The applications of expansions in math often work that way: as we forge through the jungle, the tools we develop to make our way through are more useful than the destination.

Lots of people were throwing this out there when twitter got bought by Musk, like "how hard is it to build a twitter clone anyway?"

Incredibly difficult and expensive at scale. Aside from infrastructure costs and maintenance, which would be considerable, you'd also have the content moderation problem which can spiral out of control quickly depending on which locality's laws you are possibly violating (it's different everywhere), etc. Many many millions of dollars at least, and to get to IG/Facebook scale with billions of daily users, I'd wager a lot more.
"The Great Enshittification" continues. Probably for many years. I expect it to be a topic in history class generations from now.

Databricks Buys Tabular (The Iceberg Company)
| We are excited to announce that we have agreed to acquire Tabular, Inc, a data management company founded by Ryan Blue, Daniel Weeks, and Jason Reid. This acquisition brings the original creators of Apache Iceberg™ and those of Linux Foundation Delta Lake, the two leading open source lakehouse formats, together.

DataBricks has bought out Tabular which gives them more influence over Iceberg's future path.
Databricks | Onsite | SF or MTV | Full-Time

We have an open headcount on my team at Databricks (Compute Lifecycle) for a senior or staff engineer! Typically this means 5+ years of experience. For this role, we're also looking for experience with distributed systems (and ideally experience running Kubernetes at scale). We're based out of San Francisco and Mountain View. Databricks has returned to office, so applicants must be able to commute to one of these two offices at least two days a week.

Databricks started out building a platform based on Apache Spark. Over the last few years, we've built an all encompassing platform for enterprises to make use of all structured and unstructured data. This includes tools to allow all users (technical or not) to quickly query and visualise data. Lately, we've integrated machine learning and generative AI technologies into the product - acquiring MosaicML last year, a leader in LLM infrastructure.

Our team maintains several systems that automate cluster provisioning at scale and allow us to manage hundreds of Kubernetes clusters that power Databricks' serverless products across all 3 major clouds. This includes heavy collaboration with MosaicML to support our new GenAI products.

Tech stack wise, we primarily use Go (for Kubernetes facing components) and Scala for Databricks' internal services. We're one of the biggest users of Cluster API, EKS and AKS.

This team is one of the strongest I've been fortunate to work with and the complexity of the environments we work in and the products we support means that there's a lot to learn!

If you're interested and could be a fit, please send me a resume at sunil.shah@databricks.com.

(Unfortunately I am not involved with university recruiting and cannot refer candidates for these roles - please keep an eye on https://www.databricks.com/company/careers/university-recrui... for those.)
The problem is that after that common denominator is recognized, the post implies that it is outside the threat model of "web applications and/or cloud services", when it is not.

It doesn't need in-depth discussion, and the way data is still highly exposed despite disk encryption is very important, but that implication is not great.

This sounds a little dystopian. Almost like arranged marriages. Instead of creating an app for dating, I think the Japanese government needs to undergo severe reforms of employment, and work/life balance. There is so little time for actual dating.

My understanding is that Japanese men work ridiculous hours, and they are expected to go out drinking with their coworkers after work, and by the time they get home, they can only get sleep before they have to return to work the next day. The relentless salary man focus cannot possibly lend itself to proper dating, courtship, marriage, and children.

I'd like to build a chatbot arena with pro-humanity questions.
in a standard casual home game i feel like we'd be playing with denominations you never see in casinos anymore anyway (5c,10c,25c,50c,$1) etc.
This is bonkers. No need to overthink it.

FWIW, I belong to a forum comprised mostly of game hosts who collect playable sets for their games. This group has gotten optimal breakdowns for various games (from 5¢/10¢ up to nosebleed stakes) down to a science, through actual hosting experience. The collective number of hours hosted by these members is astronomical.

A standard notion is that you rarely need more than 4-6 denoms for most games, with really only 3 of those in any quantity of 100 or more for a one-table cash game.

Also, that the jump between chip denominations functionally should be 4-5x the next lowest denom.

So for example, a typical cash set meant to work for games ranging from 50¢/$1, $1/$2, and $2/$5 could make do with denoms of 50/1/5/25/100.

For any given stakes, there is a “workhorse” denomination, and that’s the chip type you need the most of (e.g. $5 chips on 1/2 games).

The only real divide among this group is those who like to use the fewest possible chips which is still comfortable, without change having to be made too often, vs. those who think poker is more fun with lots and lots of chips on the table, even if many are unnecessary.

The idea of assigning non-denoms (i.e. chips with no value printed on them) all sorts of unstandard but “optimal” amounts is I suppose an interesting intellectual exercise, but in practice seems nuts.

… Especially considering that chips are typically sold with existing amounts printed on them. To host with non-standard denoms requires undenominated chips used with some sort of printed or displayed key to remind players of the weird values.
I mean, that is definitely spoken from a place of ignorance. Yes, from a surface-level perspective, parallel computers can compute whatever a non-parallel computer can, and nothing more.
However, deeper thinking about parallelism has inspired open problems in a diverse array of fields within CS, including computer architecture, operating systems, distributed systems, PL, and even theoretical computer scientists. People have won various prizes in their respective fields for solving some of these open problems.

I do dread that exact scenario you're mentioning. I know it is a possibility but I'm hoping that should this day arrive I'll be able to put it to rest and hopefully have learned stuff along the way.
I think it's helpful for engineering managers to be technically conversant at a fairly deep level with the technical challenges and domains the team deals with regularly. My reports have told me that in the past, this bolstered their trust in my decision-making and gave me deeper credibility overall.

I didn't do anything terribly difficult/deep, but I think it conveyed a strong, empathetic connection to what they were dealing with that mattered to them.
You could maybe tie Nabakov's humor to Gogol or Bulgakov, but he doesn't tell complex stories like Tolstoy or the longer Dostoevsky books. Maybe Pale Fire is like Notes from the Underground or Crime & Punishment in a way, but his work isn't really traditional Russian Lit.
Nabakov's got as much in common with Joyce & Pynchon as any Russian writers.
