Do you happen to score as "intuitive" on Myers-Briggs?

I'm idly wondering whether that's why I believe I'm pretty good at interviewing people just by talking with them.

Maybe, many of the people who are capable programmers or software engineers, but who insist that they can't tell anything about a person's ability to code without, say, a Leetcode hazing, are just wired a little differently, and not picking up on all the signals the same way?
Interesting. Yotta is a YC company, and I recall a recent comment here from another YC fintech founder that Synapse was a known no-go for YC fintechs.
Of course you could do that, but the existence of a bit of code that's survived that long within a project that's been around for 20 years doesn't mean nothing new has happened. Mozilla invented a whole language to make it easier to write browser in; I don't think they won't have considered using Boost or whatever much less radical approach we might come up with here won't have been considered and invested in.

It’s quite a few things. I didn’t find his claims of ignorance around the non-competes, for example, particularly compelling.

But all of that is quite separate from these conflicts, which are entirely a matter for Altman and his investors, investors who have no reason to complain about him.
I'm sorry, but if you ask me to install your private CA on any of my devices... I would politely tell you to stop.

As for house guests, I really like what OnHub did - you could allow anyone to network to control certain IoT devices. When someone was house sitting for me, they could have control thermostat, lights, etc from their phone without any apps or "add household member" shenanigans.
Actually, it's estimated radioactive decay in the Earth is about 20 TW, which is also about equal to the current global rate of primary energy consumption.

Geothermal can be better described as heat mining than it would be exploiting a steady state heat flow.

Developer, designer, entrepreneur (“And I said, no, mom, I'm an entrepreneur. And she said, no, you're unemployed.” — Brian Chesky)

Entrepreneur means I don't have a strictly technical mindset and can prioritize things according to what you currently need (eg I know how to execute things fast in order to validate ideas and find the market fit).

Designer means I can make things look pretty enough (so you don't have to onboard the actual designer too early on).

Developer means I can execute it.

No, it says face due east and travel in a straight line. Sure, the wording could have been clearer, but you're seeing misdirection that isn't there.
> Travel exactly due East. Now, ignore what East means.

It's "face east, then travel in a straight line," not "travel due East" (though I agree that the title itself is misleading).

IMO, it's a cool thought experiment because it demonstrates that an instruction to "travel in a straight line" is incompatible with an instruction to "travel due East" (unless you're on the equator!) - as the North Pole example illustrates. Start 3 feet south of the North Pole and face east, then start traveling in a straight line. Obviously after 10 or 100 or 1000 miles of travel you'll be essentially due south of the pole - and in fact, if you take a single step to the left, you will be exactly due south of the pole!
I like Python but it's definitely a pain when it comes to request cancellation

I saw a StackOverflow post about some code that only worked on Linux and not Windows and it turns out sleeps on Windows are implemented using an uninterruptible API (I think there are other APIs on Windows but the developers of Python picked the one they did since it was simple/low overhead)

* Maybe not a perfect description but it was something about a non interruptible Windows API

Not sure if they changed it but iirc Python was using a less precise timer on Windows that couldn't sleep less than 14-15ms as well
Whenever someone tells me they've been asked a leetcode hard in an interview, I always ask them "which one". I don't think I've ever gotten a response that was an actual LC hard.

Brokerages, exchanges, and market makers make money when customers are trading. Doesn't make a lot of difference what they're trading or at what price. Although, when there's a huge amount of volatility, there's maybe more risk and at least more collateral required. (Although the recent change to T+1 settlement will likely reduce that)

It's valuable for the company to sell shares when the price is high. If they don't have anything specific to do with the money, they can always do stock buy backs when the price comes down to earth.

For unrelated shareholders, yeah, it'a pretty much pump and dump, but if the company dumps while the stock is pumped, that helps your book value per share, right?
I've been asked about overrides and attributes a lot! That was one of the sacrifices I had to make to go with a more traditional language, so it's definitely a negative point compared to Nix. That said, I'm hoping to have some conventions and features that will cover _most_ of the use-cases that overrides give you, but that's definitely still future work at this point and I probably won't be able to cover everything overrides do

And yep, I think having a "Brioche for Nix users" guide makes a lot of sense, although it's not the first time that question so I'll probably stand up a first-pass version of it sooner rather than later (my Nix skills are also pretty rusty-- I'll need to brush up a bit first before I write it!)
I was able to reset downstream USB devices using usbreset to the individual ports (or the entire hub) in my design, using usbreset. I did also have a hardware reset built in using the cfg_sel0 and cfg_sel1 pins 24 & 25 and RESET_N. I did not try to turn off power to those ports for any extended time so I am not sure if that works.

FWIW I did not get that impression at all, and I'm bewildered by all of the combative comments here. It's a cool thought experiment!
I just started using a Mac for work and this is pretty prevalent on Mac as well, possibly that is where it originated. Applications on Mac are a random assortment of regular apps with proper titlebars and apps which effectively have no titlebar.

Mac OS keyboard/mouse focus is also intensely weird and inconsistent. The rules for when a click brings a window into mouse and/or keyboard focus are basically unpredictable, as far as I can tell.

When you click a window to focus it, some applications use that click to put the keyboard/mouse focus on the widget you clicked on. Others "eat" the click before bringing the window to the foreground. So if you want to activate a specific text field or whatever for keyboard focus, you have to click _twice_ every time you switch focus back to a particular app.

But if you do that, you have to _space your clicks apart_ to prevent them from being interpreted as a double-click! Which might maximize the window if you clicked on the area that would otherwise have been the app's title bar!

It also throws me off at least once an hour that you use can the mouse scroll wheel and all mouse buttons except 1 and 2 in a window _without_ bringing it into focus.

After my work day is done, I am always so much happier to go back to Plasma for my personal stuff and hobbies.
There is. Liveness checks prove the user submitting the info is the user in the documents.
Or legislate these things have to be opt-in. I remember when politeness dictated you ask someone before even taking their photo.

I think the companies collecting personal information assume they have more entitlement to it they they actually do, and are on the wrong side of the law - especially when breaches like this result in real damage. I'd like to see a few really harsh class action lawsuits bite them in the ass and leave behind bad enough scars that other firms begin to see personal data as a liability not as asset.
I have been hearing about the death of gaming PCs since the launch of the PSX and the N64, yet here we are.
I keep seeing HN clients again and again to the point that... its tiresome. Why do you think there's a need to create a client for a website?
Why does everyone have to make it so hard? All I want is literally the widgets Windows had 20 years ago in all platforms. That's all.

I don't even need the ribbon.

And now GTK has sliding tabs with animation effects I have to install tweaks to turn off. To begin with, why is tweaks even a thing? This should all be in the normal control panel! I can't believe I used to hear criticisms about the windows registry when in linux I need to install 2 different regedits to make the GUI look bearable.

This is why people use electron.
The Amish communities are not communes. The Bruderhof has many communes, with a total of 2900 members worldwide. Doesn't sound very successful. Monastic communities and academic communities seem to survive on external donations.

"The Bruderhof run a variety of businesses that provide income to run their communities and provide common work for the members who almost all work onsite."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruderhof_Communities

Is it really a commune if they're running a capitalist business? Or is it more of a cooperative?
This is true and doesn't apply after 12th century from when on it was unified and which is the period during which the jump to industrialization probably would have been more likely. On top of that it was run by the well-organized Mandarin bureaucracy.

> the latitudenal geodesic

There is no such thing. A curve of constant latitude on Earth, except for the equator, is not a geodesic.

> You cannot claim that one geodesic is more “straight” than another in 3d Euclidean geometry

In terms of 3D Euclidean geometry, neither a curve of constant latitude on Earth's surface nor a great circle on Earth's surface is a straight line/geodesic. Both are curved.

If you restrict to the 2D surface of the Earth, a great circle is a geodesic but a curve of constant latitude, except for the equator, is not.

I once gave an interview to a PhD with 15 years of experience. He couldn't write a for loop at the end of the interview, but had great knowledge otherwise. We needed someone who could actually code. I had my boss join late, because it was so unbelievable. I was the only "no" for him. I was the only person that tried to make him type something.

I keep my question very light and completely work related. They're allowed to ask as many questions as they want. They don't even have to remember any algorithms (I have a review slide for the relevant ones they might pick). They just have to be able to think and be "seeking" in their mindset, asking questions to fully understand the context, then convert that to code. That's it.
As far as I know it's not English or any Western entity that has grouped the Chinese languages together as one, but the Chinese government, for political reasons. Western linguists recognize the variants of "Chinese" as different languages.

China's strategy has now changed: they used exports to build massive growth in their economy, but they are now using their exports as a kind of economic weapon that can be used in much the same way that Amazon crushed their competitors by artificially lowering prices to put others out of business...then raising the prices once they were the only game in town. China is doing something similar by making their currency artificially cheap to boost exports and by subsidizing production. Developed nations are taking note and building up their own industries again that were largely decimated by offshoring. Without protectionism, Chinese companies will threaten domestic businesses that are critical to the functioning of our economy. China is trying to save its ailing economy by dangling ever-cheaper goods to the world, but the world should not fall for this ploy.

This is appealing to me as a Python backend dev-- but if I end up building something cool for my own personal use, and I want to deploy it so others can use it-- is that a thing for this? I don't see any kind of documentation for deploying it, but that could just be on me. I realize this is touted as a demo-friendly / internal tool so that just might not be aligned for this type of thing.

The GP is correct. Only great circles on a 2-sphere are geodesics. Curves of constant latitude, except for the equator, are not.

I'm not sure why you referenced the Wikipedia article you did, since it supports what the GP says and contradicts what you say.
I see two problems with bringing in your code for an interview:

- I don’t know how long it took you to do it, and being able to do things in a reasonable amount of time is part of all jobs. Also, I don’t even know if you’re the one who wrote it or if you are passing off somebody else’s work

- it’s unstandardized across interviewees, so how do you compare? Person A wrote a more elegant solution, Person B solved a more challenging problem, and Person C did all their best work on propriety stuff they couldn’t share so they had to share show you a throwaway side project they did in one weekend
sass expands the nesting ie

.foo {
.bar {
color: red;
}
}

becomes

.foo .bar { color: red; }

The first case modern browsers can handle, but versions of Chrome upto some in early 2023 still can't – and that includes a lot of Android installs as I experienced.

Once those browser versions roll off we will be able to remove sass altogether.
My experience with the Harmony remote was that it was a very brittle solution. It took tons of setup, and would regularly strand me in some intermediate state where some components were enabled and switched properly and some weren't.

Add to that the fact that
1. Some devices have separate "turn on" and "turn off" signals and some only hav a "power toggle"
2. My receiver had buttons that did not exist in Logitech's database. My attempts to have the remote learn them was only partially successful (like, it learned some of them properly and others never worked)
3. My screen was a projector that refused to turn on again until a 1-2 minute cooldown after it had been turned off (I assume to avoid heat stress on the bulb)

It was a right mess. When it worked it was great. The 5% of time it failed hard I had to dig out the individual remotes because the projector's cooldown made Harmony's attempt to fix things not work at all.

GTK development is almost entirely led by people involved in the GNOME project. From my understanding, members of other GTK-based desktop environments have not tried to become maintainers themselves to help drive the direction. Elementary as a consumer of GTK seems to be fine with most decisions. Inkscape and LibreOffice don't seem to care either.

All Cinnamon, MATE, and XFCE need is a libxapp similar to libadwaita which provides the design language that is common between those desktop environments. No one seems to have started on it though.

I am saying that if they were to do research on the subject, they would either start from the hypothesis and work to prove that (and social sciences have difficulties with replication crisis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis that it becomes possible to prove any result), or that a study that found contrary would get a "yea, we're not publishing that", or that people interested in researching the expanded domain would get suggested that this would not be something to aide them on a tenure track or advancement and they should look to other research areas.

That is pretty much my stance, too.

I've seen a lot of critical fuckups in my years, but I have yet to see someone fuck up everything by using a woefully unsuitable algorithm.

That, of course, does not mean that it doesn't happen - could very well be the case at the type of companies I haven't worked for, where performance is absolutely critical...but I have a hard time believing those places don't have safety guards at place.

In fact, the vast majority of fabled horror stories I've heard in the industry are seemingly just that...fabled.
The purpose of a system is what it does. And what Leetcode-style whiteboarding tests—very much not fizzbuzz!—substantially do is select for people who have specifically prepared for Leetcode-style problems.

Describing that as selecting for "obedience" is rather dramatic and provocative, but it's directionally right.
