> simply self-selecting out of these types of companies via some proxy feature I'm unaware of?

Probably. Most LC interviews are in the early to early-mid career stages and are often at large headcount shops where problems are often solved by throwing man-numbers at a problem. As a result, the shops think: "Why don't we hire more really intelligent people to throw at these problems?" They have lots of postings and then get a lot of applicants. LC then serves them 2 main purposes; 1) a proxy for "intelligent people" that can solve these kind of extremely generalist problems, and 2) a way to cull the herd.

Once you actually need specificity in your hiring, then LC style questions are effectively useless outside of some very unique contexts. That they are so endemic is reflective of how bad almost all companies are at hiring.
I’m not 100% bilingual, but my take is that there’s a lot more to be gained from the subtitles due to homophones, wordplay, and literary allusions. It’s like getting genius.com rap annotations in real time for any metaphors or references.

What are the alternatives at this price point? Given that a "Hailo-8 Starter Kit" is $179 (I'm not sure if that's more of less powerful than this Pi one), the Pi offering seems like a good deal. But to be honest I have no feeling for what 15 tops and a load of supporting software should cost.

Not really challenging me, I'm more marvelling at the fact that as giant bags of proteins, we're able to look at our baby and our testicles decide that it's the time to stop doing what they do most of the time.

Cognition is such a handwave IMO - what's the biochemistry behind that? What's the signalling mechanism by which our brain does that? Does that mean with the right external brain signals we can turn off T production?

The implication of cognition having control over the body, which you assert is so well known, is that if we can achieve more control over our cognition we can achieve biochemical control of our body. So the bene gesserit is less fiction than we like to think?
I agree with this. But the root commenter talks about it as something these people are worth, when it’s just that - a lottery. A company that has so much money that they don’t know which barrier to put there to stop the flood. You jump through absurd hoops and join the club.

>This i contentious, I have actually read scholars that argue the opposite.

It is far from contentious, you are probably mixing up "premodern agriculture" with "pre-agriculture". Furthermore, as detailed in an article [1] referenced (and linked to) by this post, you are probably mixing up the labor paid as rent vs the whole of the labor required to survive

This looks fantastic! I love htmx, and I'ved used it with Lucid and Clay in Haskell to generate HTML apps entirely server side. I'd really like to use Ludic at some point as well.

The requirement of @override on the render method is a bit unwieldy, have you considered using pedantic's BaseModel instead of TypedDict? I think it would allow you to get rid of @override? Not sure it'd be worth it for the extra dep though.

Something I always look for in a web framework is the ability to run the app from the repl. Is this possible with Ludic? I remember in Clojure, the app was just a function of a hashmap request -> hashmap response, so testing was really easy, you just do something like (app my-request) and inspect the return value, 'my-request' can be a hashmap constructed by hand or generated with a tool like core.spec. Much more convenient than running uvicorn just for a quick test! I recommend adding this use case to Ludic if it's not already there.
How to achieve it?
They care. They don't know what to do about it.
FWIW I sort of agree with you.

I'm in a FAANG type company now, a YC company, 3000+ engineers. I'm a Staff SWE with 20+ years of experience (ECE degree) and make $600k+ per year. I've went through the promo cycle here (it sucks).

I can't do any leet hards and can do leet mediums after studying. Some easy's take me a couple of tries. I usually do very poorly in interview coding exercises.

That's really interesting.

I'm guessing this works better for consultants than for regular employees, due to employment / tax laws.

That doesn't make sense, "out-of-place" here means with respect to the rest of the system and the shell. Doing things that way is guaranteed to result in an inconsistent desktop, so maybe you can understand why that won't really be a supported thing.

For a while I actually used to do something similar to what you're doing. In the early 2000s when OS X was the new thing, I had gotten used to the Mac. So for a while I would only use Qt apps with a Mac-style theme and I would get really upset if something didn't work with it. But I stopped eventually because I realized I was being unreasonable and frustrating my own computer usage for no benefit. IMO it's helpful to recognize when you're in a harmful thought process and break out of it.

Sure, the employer is doing what is best for them in the current system. Everyone is. But the results can be rough for real people to actually live with.

One of the big scary talking points when politicians start talking about changing our insurance system is that people like their current plans and doctors and are scared to change things.

I just think this is silly since my plan has changed roughly annually since I've been in the workforce due to a combination of employers shopping plans, employers changing ownership and moving to the new company's plans, and switching jobs.

An in-between step to single payer would be to let me pick a marketplace plan and then let my employer reimburse it directly, provider a voucher, or something like that. At least that way I have the freedom to switch jobs without entering a whole new health insurance world, and which health plan I pick is none of my employer's business.
The same way everyone else does it, through marketing.

Where do you see the group of people who are libertarian on the issue? In other words, people who think that the premise that drugs are immoral is flawed, and they should be regulated for safety, but society does not need to discourage their use and certainly does not need to ban them.

I see those people as on the moderately far left, at least in the United States. There are plenty of people on the moderately far left who are not libertarian in the vast majority of positions, but who would agree in the case of drugs.

No, it hasn't. But it's not a substitute for a veterinarian. It's more about general knowledge, actionable information and tailored advice for your pet.

What you say and do in private with your friends might be in line with the current political climate, so you feel safe. However, as the reach extends and the capability for storing a detailed history of your computer use increases, you are then vulnerable to political winds shifting and some other tyrannical oligarch finding something you wrote ten years ago to a friend in a private conversation and now you are called into a kangaroo court and summarily sent to a labor camp.

If you think this is implausible or paranoid, I would recommend reading more history of the 20th Century in totalitarian regimes.

I have so far not done a full Leetcode myself and I dont consider
it an especially good approach.

But I want to share a couple of thoughts.

If these interviews in general, follow a form of template
as to what they contain, what to expect, how answers should
be presented, then studying it, while time consuming is not
that hard.

It can function as a form of "proof of work".
That you took the time to prepare yourself for the interview
will be points in your favor.
Like putting on some nice clothes and brushing your hair.
and putting together nice CV.

The second part is to perform under stress.
I hate this part of modern interview processes.
They want to give you something difficult, then spinkle with
some rudeness and abrasive comments.

Will the candidate work under pressure or not?

Coming from the consulting world, perhaps that is more common
in that sector than others.
So this shows a short window of time where a seronaive person had higher risk of myocarditis after getting covid than if they first got the shot, right? *

That population didnt exist for very long. Once the conditions became that virtually everyone had at least one shot or one infection, is there any benefit with respect to myocarditis to getting more shots?

* I find it hard to trust data like this because of the immense pressure against side effects being attributed to the shots: pressure both on those impacted (for shame or disbelief or difficulty in knowing), on those doing the reporting (professional consequences, shame, disbelief), and on those in charge of administering the whole thing (monetary incentives, shame, disbelief, etc). That we see a signal at all in those conditions is frightening.

Something I don’t understand:

> People constantly search for simple ways to facilitate something, and when you need a character that is not in the alphabet, Europeans will most likely choose < and >, while Americans may choose { and }.

What’s the difference or cultural context here?

I see them used very rarely in written text. The only context I see them commonly used is math, they are used around sets pretty often, for whatever reason. Or their giant cousins are used to denote different cases.

I have no idea why we have these curly bracket keys. Really I think they are just programming keys for the most part… I’m glad nobody thought to go through and localize the US keyboard to only include punctuation we use! I wish we’d localized worse, let’s get some Greek letters, they can replace the numpad.
One of the things I'll never understand was why the attacker was replaying my traffic? They were clearly in my network and could access everything without being detected, why replay all the HTTP requests? So odd.

I was thinking about this while reading. My guess is that the vulnerability was limited to reading incoming requests (to the modem) or something along those lines, not full control of the network. Replaying the requests is a good way to get both ends of the traffic if you can only access one. For instance, a login + password being authenticated. Just a thought!

EDIT: I'd be hard-pressed to know how one could exploit this, given TLS would encrypt the requests. Maybe they're counting on using badly encrypted requests, encrypted with e.g. TLSv1.0?

Yes, if you go as far as treating them with the respect of paying them for their time. However, it can still be done in the many interview processes that take half- or a day's time but that don't pay the interviewee for their time.

I've also had the opposite experience. My workplace plan through COBRA was around $500/mo, while only the highest-end marketplace plans were around that range. I took a middle-end plan at ~$300/mo.

To be fair I hadn't looked closely at what all my workplace plan covered, but I was doing physical therapy when I switched that wasn't covered (had to reach high deductible) on my workplace plan and was covered on my marketplace plan!

The Biggest FBI Sting Operation in History
The problem isn't so much technical as cultural. The American car lobby was quite powerful, which is why we have historically invested so much in highways and so little in rail. But why should the lobby be so effective? Well, if you look at historical advertising, you can clearly see what they appealed to, namely, the liberal American spirit of wanting to be "independent" and "free", and sex. The automobile is a symbol of unrestrained, do-what-you-want-when-you-want mentality. It's why even modest and sensible restrictions around car traffic are met with such violent opposition. It's perceived as an attack on the liberal American ethos. The sex part associates cars in the minds of men with virility and masculinity, as if having a car is what makes you a man, and that without one, you are weak, a mere boy, and undesirable, irresponsible. And many women believe it, too, especially of a certain ilk. (It is true that refusal to own a car when one is needed can be a sign of immaturity and irresponsibility, concealed behind claims of caring for the environment or whatever. But this is quite different from the blanket, rigid, and irrational belief that you MUST own a car, even when it isn't the better option, for vacuously symbolic reasons.)

Owning a car isn't the problem, of course, but the excess importance attached to the car through decades of conditioning and cultural reinforcement has made the car something of a religious symbol in the American religion.

Similar reasons stand behind gun ownership, something the Left consistently fails to grasp. Some trace this to the myth surrounding the frontiersman Daniel Boone who, interestingly enough, was a Quaker. The firearm is an instrument of self-sufficiency and protection, of being able to face the frontier without fear. It, too, is bound up with American sensibilities regarding masculinity. Restrictions on gun ownership and regulations around gun acquisition, however mild and sensible, are predictably seen as attacks on the aforementioned.

Most people, and that includes most people here, are awful at examining their sense of normality, not to undermine it, but to know what they're standing on, to know how it is justified and if it is justified, and so on. Many political conflicts, especially today, are rooted in a failure to understand the true source of disagreement, which often lies in presuppositions n layers deep.
> ... and protected from evil by the efforts of the Rangers and Gandalf. And this guarding of their innocence is presented as a fundamentally good thing.

It's easy for me to read Gandalf's motives as almost the opposite, of realizing that their innocence is a danger to themselves and including them in the fellowship not only due to the ring, but for their own growth. So it wasn't accidental that Generals Brandybuck and Took were trained by their adventure sufficiently to lead the scouring the Shire on their return, and that Sam learned to repair the ecological disaster. Gandalf was indeed protecting children from their innocence but by helping them grow out of it, knowing more of the hobbits' capacity than they did themselves.
