Apple was worse that Microsoft for some time, because they were actually competent enough to lock users out of their devices. Unfortunately MS has improved their code quality to the point that there’s only one work around for their latest attack on their users. At this rate they might completely defeat their users by windows 13 or 14.

Interesting.

I'd like to think that, most probably, your job exists and is funded because those folks (and you) "got shit done" for the last 20 years.

In my experience (around 2 decades also), when it comes to small/medium projects, spending a bit of effort separating business logic from UI/database/server code is wise up to a certain point.

If the effort doesn't add too much code and layers of indirection, then fine.

However, DDD/HexagonalArch consultants tend to add soo much boilerplate and layers of indirection between between an HTTP request and a response that it becomes detrimental to productivity.

For example take a look at this article:

https://herbertograca.com/2017/11/16/explicit-architecture-0...

Specially this part (but the entire article is a gem):

> This means that Dependency Injection and Dependency Inversion are not enough to decouple components, we will need some sort of architectural constructs. We might need events, a shared kernel, eventual consistency, and even a discovery service!

Respectfully I'd like to think that it is satire. But it isn't.

With events your code is no longer linear. Stuff happens with triggers (events) that are not clear at first glance unless you fully understand the entire stack.

Shared kernel is just a place to shove interfaces under the carpet and pretend code is no longer coupled because you added extra 2 layers of indirection (interfaces and kernel) between 2 lines of code. Congrats now it became much harder to understand what actual code will be executed when I call this method.

Eventual consistency... Is that a good thing? We spent 4 decades maturing ACID compliant transactional RDBMS only for someone to come and disregard all these gains?

Discovery service... Yeah your code became so complex that you need more code to discover code. Because we can't have one layer calling another directly. Nonono, that would be coupling. And coupling makes it hard to change frameworks in a distant but slightly possible future. I'd rather pay a very expensive insurance from now on to safeguard from that possibility. Even though the insurance itself is so expensive that it alone can suffocate the project.

Sorry for the rant.
I think the fundamental problem is that in SW engineering discipline, we judge skill according to knowledge of tools (like programming languages) instead of knowledge of the application domain. There are interesting historical reasons for this, and it is a double-edged sword. But I think it would be healthier for the profession to acknowledge that application domain knowledge can be at least as useful as tools knowledge.
I have come to like this approach reasonably well. My current company uses a similarly simple problem to evaluate candidates. For me, it was a breeze, and I thought we’d be hiring slouches left and right. Once I started administering the interview, I realized that the majority of candidates absolutely bomb this simple question for one reason or another.

It seems that “able to code a simple problem well” is a far less ridiculous proxy for good software engineer than “able to code a hard problem at all”. Much to my surprise.
Bias alert first, I'm your genuine Chinese, and I don't really like Falun Gong.

Maybe they are full of rhetoric, but their propaganda is effective, to the point which you can predict people's narrative based on the recent publications from The Epoch Times, though it mainly effects under-educated Chinese-speaking families who can't consume more established English newspaper/media.

Being a far-right (See the description on Wikipedia [1]) media, they mirrors the narrative of other English far-right medias, and they forwards those narratives to Chinese-reading consumers. I guess that's their business model.

Also, "Shen Yun" is not Chinese culture, rather the Chinese culture in "Shen Yun" was used as props to add a dose of eastern mystery to attract western audience. Very nice marketing I might add.

I have nothing against remote work, but I don’t think it’s particularly eco-friendly in the US setting: the trend in the US has been increased suburbanization (and larger houses to accommodate home offices), both of which are probably worse on net for the environment that a single office building with central heating/cooling. Similarly: workers who move to the suburbs and drive to work only occasionally are still potentially driving more than they would be if they used mass transit in cities.

This doesn’t necessarily apply to other countries with better land use patterns, of course.
Thank you, that makes my apparently half-formed prior understanding make a lot more sense. Seems the path forward is researching the greater context of the last authors work, and of course the common convention for each field.

Eg, as a sibling commented this convention may not be common in ML research, I wonder then if it may be something less common in emergent fields where researchers are generally be younger and less likely to follow older traditions.
FJCVTZS has JavaScript in the name, and is useful for implementing JavaScript yes, but as you say, it's just a float -> int conversion with a particular rounding mode. "Convert float to int, rounding towards zero" is a typical scalar type instruction, very different from the kind of instruction you'd want to optimize parsing.

I swear the only reason people pay FJCVTZS any attention at all is that it has "JavaScript" in its name. If it was just a "convert float to int, round towards zero" instruction, everyone would see it as a normal, boring part of the ISA.
I'd like to see the application dataset. 50000 applicants is a lot.

My guess would be: 90% of applicants are foreigners, maybe a fair bit of spam.

The rest 10% are domestic, and of those that were chosen, there's a lot of Stanford alma mater.
I remember the discussion about that which boiled down to: it’s good for you - shut up.

That was the thing that kicked me over the fence. Open source doesn’t matter if the stewards do not have your best interests at heart.
You might expand on your examples to demonstrate persistence. You mention that the cookie cutter template has “many modules are missing, such as models and database connections.” I think this is a meaningful gap to fill.

The initial button example might be a good one to build on. You could show how to persist the counter value in SQLite.

Doctors and nurses did get sick. There were plenty of reports in the very early days about doctors dying of COVID, or mass absences of nursing staff. Then they got immunity and went back to work.

Masks had no effect. This isn't a lie. Look at any graph of cases from any country you care to pick, then try and draw a line where mask mandates were added or removed. You won't be able to, because even when a whole population was forced to start wearing a mask overnight there was no inflection in the graphs. The point of everyone wearing masks was to slow down the growth in those graphs, or even put it into reverse. Yet nothing happened. This is absolute proof that they did not work.

That's why the argument for masks always ends up relying on invalid lab studies using mannequins, or self-reinforcing models that just prove their own assumptions, or arguments of the form "people just didn't wear the right kind of masks". When you look at what was actually tried, the ground truth data doesn't show any effect.
I'm guessing that selling OS:es to consumers isn't making a ton of money. Most would come as OEM for a small Windows tax on a new computer. The money is in AppStores, OneDrive subscriptions, Office 356 subs and so on.

And letting people run some sort of no-frills windows where you login as a local account and run your old spreadsheet for 10 years is completely at odds with any kind of strategy that will make money from home users.

I don't like it - but I'm also not disagreeing with the beancounters at ms if this is the conclusion they reached. I have a feeling it's the right call.
> but wouldn't the number of excess deaths in a hypothetical world where no measures had been taken at all

To me, a more likely scenario is that the virus would basically run through the world's population during the first year, killing most susceptible quickly. The fact the original was a more deadly strain and the complete overloading of medical care would not help either.

> ignoring the fact that viruses naturally become less lethal over time, as killing too many hosts is bad for spreading further

This is likely not a strong factor in Covid since it's not enough deadly and there's enough time to spread the virus before dying.

A more fitting explanation is the reversion to the mean. Covid-19 was/is an exceptionally deadly strain of coronavirus, it's more likely that its mutations will trend in the direction of mean coronavirus lethality.

>In Germany you would get minimum 3 years in jail for this, people got in front of court for way way way way less.

Great way to make sure researchers don't notify the victim of vulnerabilities, but rather stay quiet or sell it.

You'll note they never tried to change anything but their own equipment; doing otherwise would have been immoral and, yes, likely illegal. Without testing you have no idea whether or not you're actually looking at something that needs to be reported.
Generative AI in a Nutshell [video]
Low level is mostly not about processing core even if you are using assembly language. Yes, you can reach guru level in assembly language of some target platform but to do something really useful at the lower level you need to know and be able to use the peripheral.

And the hardest things are in peripheral.

Any modern microcontroller it will give you the opportunity to learn a lot of useful things about peripheral devices. You can start with any really good modern 8-bits micro like Microchip's 2nd generation of ATTiny, so you'll have in your hands a lot of very powerful interesting smart peripherals: hardware event system, small programmable logic, different timers, good ADC etc.

The only rational additional consideration here is that your target platform should be popular, well documented and supported by the manufacturer.

Then will be time for some Cortex-M0 device with DMA.

Then you'll decide where to go further :)

> For example, letting Grima leave edoras because 'enough blood has been spilled' is really cool, but dubious and questionable.

My read has always been that Théoden was still unsure about what to do with Grima after what has been revealed. He is clearly angry at him, but it is also difficult for him to let him go, after he had has been his closest council for so long. When they meet Saruman and Grima at Isengard, Théoden even tries to plead with Grima again. And it doesn't make sense that Théoden is trying to lure Grima, because if he is trying to be cunning, he would well know that Grima would never bother, instead, it reads as Théoden still holding out hope.

So yes, it is questionable to send Grima away. And Tolkien isn't exactly subtle about it.
Why couldn’t it just be cognitive? Your endocrine system is not totally isolated from your cognition.

It’s fairly apparent how fathers amped up on testosterone could be worse for offspring survival than those who have a drop, so the evolutionary pressure is pretty clear, then the mechanism is readily explained by “they know that they have a child.”

If a shipping provider loses shipment and refuses to respect the insurance agreement, it sounds like they should be sued for damages. The damages are much more than the cost of the shipment, as the loss itself also undermines operations and causes a lot of financial downside.

I don’t think I could use a MacBook, I enjoy tinkering with my computer too much.

I loathe cellphones, though, so I have an iPhone. It is fine. It belongs to Apple really. Someday maybe it will be easy enough to put together something like a Raspberry Pi cellphone. But, for now, I’ll just rent one from Apple and let them handle everything.

They make fine devices for people who don’t like that type of device. No wonder they are doing so well, people who hate tech is a huge market, and we’re doing our best to expand it every day.
>If that were the case then a normal, well accomplished software engineer shouldn't need to "grind" leetcode to pass an interview.

No, what this shows is that the skill range for accomplished professional software devs is absolutely massive. What these companies want is to find the tail end of this very wide distribution. Leetcode interviews do a decent job at this. If you have been coding for a decade and can't do leetcode mediums with almost no prep, and hards with a moderate refresher on data structures, then you're simply not the in the right tail of the skill distribution and they don't want you. This is what so many in our industry can't accept: you're just not talented enough to earn a FAANG job.
I don’t agree with this. You can run macOS without this crap so why can’t you run windows without it? macOS is arguably less enthusiast oriented than windows.

Microsoft is one facade regardless of who is underneath it and they are aligned in user hostility at the moment. Even devdiv is a mess.
Again cognitive.

These are only challenging you because you’re assuming cognition cannot affect hormones/chemical systems but we know otherwise.

How can others not see it? I see a bunch of people, even on HN, pushing for lower emissions while rejecting remote work for whatever personal reason. I also see others wanting instead to force everybody into ultra high density living to avoid driving, while remote work cuts down on the biggest source of driving needs.

Absolutely. It's just maximizing some sort of metric that ultimately translates into P&L for the PMs. Everything else is largely irrelevant. If the users bitch and moan, but the PM is getting paid more, they'll be incentivised to keep doing what they are doing. The product may end up dead in 10 years time as the userbase is driven away, but by then everyone responsible is long gone.

We can all pontificate about acting differently in their shoes, but I'm honest enough to admit that I wouldn't :D
Unless you specifically want a compiling and running version of FizzBuzz you don't actually need to use or know about the mod operator.

At least for me it would be sufficient if the person used a function like IsMultipleOf(x, m), or Remainder(x, n). This would at least make it clear what the function did even if they didn't get the exact operator.

The other thing to note is that the mod operator works differently on different languages and platforms.
They could be written alphabetically, of course. The question is just what you lose, given that the characters are a massive part of Chinese and Japanese culture.

Chinese has evolved alongside its writing system for about 3000 years, and switching over to pinyin (the standard Latin transliteration) would be a complete revolution in Chinese culture.

Right. You can retroactively think of all sorts of reasons, and people internally will talk about it and make presentations and plan meetings over it, but it's just a gigantic corporation and it doesn't think, it's a number that can be chased.
The most clear cut case is 1st amendment violation / censorship (e.g. Berenson v. Biden - civil case, but it should just be the beginning). There is possible fraud in Fauci's case regarding covid origins, which would also imply perjury charges. But ultimately I and many others want to see people held responsible for the arbitrary, oppressive and selective exercise of power during covid (e.g. lockdowns for some but not for BLM, firing people for not injecting the vaccine, and so on).

Let's not forget the weird decision they made with the ac- domains, too. Instead of having all of them under one domain, they just use a naming convention: ac-nice.fr and ac-aix-marseille.fr are both official. It should've been nice.academie.fr and aix-marseille.academie.fr, imo.
