This isn't about adding fake experiences, though, no? It's about omitting experience you've had.
High-level theory is nice. Ditto public policy savvy. And quite a few of the other questions on the 1906 exam reflect that.

But back at the coal face -

Rail yards were a very important and expensive part of a ~1906 railroad's infrastructure - both to build, and to operate. And the efficiency differences between a well-designed and poorly-designed yard were huge. A prospective RR manager who can't quickly map out a good rail yard is someone who simply does not understand the at-scale operation of a railroad.

Similarly, waybills were the core document for moving individual customer's loads around on an RR. If (fake name) EconoAir's manager at your local airport did not understand Flight Plans well enough to quickly draw one up - would you want to own EconoAir's stock, or fly on their airplanes?
I'm guessing maybe it's the hiring side that wants people who already have $x number of years experience? it reminds me of the guy who wrote angular(?) and wanted to apply for a job but couldn't, because it required 8 years of experience and this was only 5 years after he wrote it.
or a escooter or one of those things you just stand on and it moves? The main reason to ride a bike nowadays is for pleasure or exercise and a ebike defeats both.
> and yet it is twisted and wrong

Have you seen the movie Idiocracy? IMO it's a way more likely dystopia than 1984 or Brave New World, and it's explained here[1]. I would argue that that future is twisted and wrong, and is partly enabled by (mis)use of medicine.

Now I do think that nature's approach, while extremely robust, does result in a lot of collateral damage--e.g. the fit don't always survive (most of us know people who died young due to no genetic conditions and due to no fault of their own), and the unfit don't have to die, they just need to not reproduce.

What is interesting about that is the an aspect of original punkers was a desire for respect as individuals. The come as you are was very welcoming. The repulsionist look I saw as an attempt to see only inner beauty in humans.

Punk was the reaction of the individual vs. the global machine. The global machine’s surface is nice but the machine is not kind.

It's not for you, obviously. It's for academics and nerds that are interested in these kinds of data sets and used to have much more trouble finding and consuming them.
And how many would be from incompetence in terms of execution vs poor planning and a lack of knowledge about what's actually needed to complete the project?

Feels like the majority of those well-known failures (the 'we spent $5 billion+ and spent 10 years on something that should have taken a few years and maybe a tenth of that budget ones) come from either management who has no idea what they want, planning that hasn't taken into account even half the obstacles the project will need to overcome, or dozens of leaders all trying to make their mark.

Actual technical/work incompetence probably plays some part, but it's probably less of a matter of "people weren't honest enough about the quality of other people's work" and more of a matter of "we hired the cheapest possible team to do the work, and they weren't qualified in the slightest".

Bonus points for the leader of that team being the nephew/niece/relative of some guy in charge of the project.
Personally, I think "denying" is also bad, while "omitting" is fine.

Instead, I think it's more reasonable to have exceptions for certain protected activities, such as salting. It's in the same category as sexual orientation for me; employers should not be allowed to ask or make decisions based on it, so if you're asked as an employee, you shouldn't have any obligation to tell the truth.
Those companies ignore the law - knowing that a candidate could sue, but then they would remove the canditate from the pool for any unrelated reason. A union could sue on behalf of a candidate, but until the case is resolved, the questionnaire still stands. Allowing candidates to just fill in the expected answer, truthful or not, is an effective remedy - it renders the question useless as a signal for the employer.

Of course it is. Non-competes are unenforceable in the UK as you can’t stop someone earning a living and if their skill or knowledge is that specific or valuable that they may not be able to get a job anywhere not covered in the non-compete.

LED strips have 3 pins (power, data, ground) but if you don't care about exact power levels maybe you can modulate power to send data.

Protocol-wise, WS2812B for LEDs works basically by having every LED along the way take the first X bytes, interpret as a command to themselves, and forward the rest -- and that's how you can address a 100 LEDs on one data line.
>Of course, file names are not characters but bytes

Depends on the filesystem. Some expect them to be characters.
To be honest I’ve come to see these posts as part of the “war”. If you’re not very smart, what’s your best move? Change the rules. Now you can be the most noteworthy person in the room, by being the kindest.

With that said, of course you should be kind. But don’t be afraid to be smart too. The world needs smart.
I am typing this from an OS that is mostly written in Java, with only enough C, C++ and Rust for when it matters.

Rust will probably never replace Java on this OS, or Kotlin, for the applications on Play Store, that aren't a game engine. It isn't even officially supported on the NDK.

Just like on my fruity devices, it is Swift, with non copyable types that will be used for systems services and firmware, not Rust.

This is the kind of sweet spot I am talking about.

Python only came into the picture, as an example of people that don't look into performance charts before picking their tools.

For some reason new electric cars have to be expensive. A 2024 leaf with the 212mi-range battery starts at 36k, a Model 3 starts at 38k. I want cheap and minimal, like a honda fit without the infotainment garbage and manditory data collection.
Honestly, I think it’s a mistake to try to retroactively impose a technical distinction between two words that have been synonyms for quite a while.

The intent is probably to clarify and communicate better. But with that word choice you end up confusing and muddying. The problem is, people have to know exactly what you mean already (which means you probably don’t have that much to talk about on that topic anyway).
That's exactly what I was wondering, thank you!

> it seems like there’s no to little mention of performance metrics.

The book uses the jargon from the architecture community. Chapter 12 section 11 on Quality Attribute Scenarios is what you're looking for. But [1] seems to be a summary of Michael Keeling's treatment on qualities and scenarios, which I like better.

My thinking on this has been greatly influenced by Titus Winters who I've been teaching with in Google for the past couple years. He's tied together the ideas of quality attribute scenarios, compile-time tests, monitored metrics, and alerts in a way that is, in hindsight, completely obvious but I've not seen elsewhere. Maybe we can get him to write that up as an essay.

>you should think of it as "why add additional code just for restriction, when we can consider that an upper-layer concern".

Because that way you solve the problem at the root?

Of course that's not the "not my problem" Jersey-style approach.

But tons of our current problems are because of that Jersey-style approach.
There's a class of code where you never need to read it because it's effect is well understood and it does it without problems. It has the right level of abstraction to be useful in multiple places and not specific to a singular case. It's not going to be top level code, but it's a building block you know you can rely on.

This is something I think functional styles of programming lead more naturally towards than OO or procedural. It's far easier to separate concerns when you can pass around like bundles of functionality (i e. first order functions). Also it really helps when you are used to writing code with no dependency except what is passed in, and not effect except what is returned. Then thhen you're sure that the code is not leaky in it's abstraction.

You can do it in other paradigms, but it's it's not where the language naturally leads you. OO has retained state as a key foundation of it's philosophy. Procedural code tends to mix up the how something is done and the what is being done. (e.g. the iteration through a data structure, with the definition of what is being searched for).
The reason this is done is that litigious ex-employees might try and sue for defamation. Even if the lawsuit is scurrilous, it will cost a company $20-30K to defend itself, so many companies have decided it’s not worth the risk.

But as noted by sibling comment, that heated panel will then begin to transfer that heat back into its environment, as a function of its temperature difference with its environment.

So as long as manufacturers engineer their panels to be tolerant of the maximum heat at a site (i.e. full sun, maximum temperature), the panels won't be harmed in any meaningful way. They'll just heat up a bit faster than if they were providing current.
No one makes files with new line characters so I think I'll be fine
One of the issues is that many small firms are just going to pass if you have a non-compete. I guess you can lie and just say you don't but that's probably not a great way to start a new employment relationship. I worked for a very small firm and someone having a non-compete was just a hard pass from our COO. Just too much risk.
> Better when you have experiences to relate back with.

100% this. I've been teaching software design since the 1990's and it's so much easier when the audience has enough experience that I can wave my hands and say "you know when things go like this ... ?" and they do, and then we can get on with how to think about it and do better.

Without that, it's tedious. Folks with less experience have the brainpower to understand but not the context. I try to create the context with a synthetic example, but (again, waving hands...) you know how much richness your current system has compared to any example I can put on a page or a slide.
Childishness aside, this is a dumb idea because it's going to piss off more users than appease. Most don't care about the struggle for internet freedom or whatever, and just want their sites to work. For them blocking legitimate sites a sign that their ISP is broken, especially when their friends/colleges report that it's working fine on their connections. Moreover blocking illegal streaming sites is court sanctioned whereas blocking the plaintiff's sites is not, and likely expose them to getting sued for tortious interference or similar.
Only amusing if you don’t know anything about Minneapolis, western expansion, or railroads.
I don't really think you need too much to prove it yourself.

You are being governed with consent when the person who's elected is someone you are okay being governed by. And the person who wins an approval election is the person with that has the most people fine with being governed by them. Because approval voting doesn't ask people to rank candidates voting for someone you disapprove of only hurts you and voting for any subset of people you do approve of is sincere.

It's not some deep thing because it changes the target to something much easier. Finding the best candidate is hard, finding the candidate most people find acceptable is less so.

Approval voting gets more mathematically interesting when you assume people have preferences among the candidates they approve of and whether the best candidate gets elected but IRL you don't actually care about that anymore. You're fine electing someone who isn't the best.

I can see why HR won't provide performance references. But I'm talking about if I'm a star employee and want to leave, I ask my boss if they'll write me a recommendation letter or if I can list them as a positive reference on my apps, they aren't allowed to by the company and may even get fired for it.
I've interviewed a lot of people over my career. I'm not sure "entitlement" is why the people who lie do so.

Most of what I see people lie about isn't the companies they've worked at, it's the kind of work they do. For instance, when I was looking for a senior engineer I'd get people who said they did all this product architecture work, leading teams in the weeds of building products internal and external. A lot of those people turned out to be actually working on projects by themselves or they didn't actually do any technical work. The latter is pretty easy to identify because if you start asking them nitty gritty standards questions about what they built they'll be completely lost. One woman that stood out like this was part of a ton of professional organizations, and was even being granted some really big title in one of them so I was pretty bullish that I'd found my senior. The last major project she led a team on was an internal REST service, so I figured it'd appropriate for us to workshop a REST API design. Pretty easy stuff to iteratively improve through a conversation especially if you've done it a thousand times. She didn't understand the grammar of REST much less how APIs are grouped. By that point I was starting to realize her role was likely more administrative than technical as a lot of roles at her level at non-tech businesses become. Discovering engineers who say they've led teams who haven't is also pretty easy. Frankly, not many engineers have actually led teams - it's an actual rarity. Of all the things engineers are asked to do day to day, leading other engineers is generally not party to them. I'd generally ask something about how they implement "trust but verify" aka delegating work. Engineers who have worked primarily solo will not know how to break down work so that others can consume it and align to the actual idea. It's something that takes a lot of practice and the answer generally involves a pretext of what certain people's strengths and weaknesses were.

I have no doubt both of these folks genuinely wanted to do what they were applying for. I don't think they'd ever really been given the chance, or worked at the wrong kind of companies for what they wanted to do.

To call it the "fault of the team" is easy, but in reality we have a very disjointed industry with no standard practice for building software, much less as a group.
And, really, it's self-congratulatory. It says only, "be like me, i'm great". And in refusing to translate "De tó sabe, pero de ná entiende" -- how empathetic is the writer really?

All together, it comes across a little smug.
Expiration Dates
>But personally, if I win the lottery, I’m still doing a handover.

How much time are you devoting to it? Enough for the project to ship, which could take months or a year, or merely enough to hastily give some other devs a breakdown of the thing, and "so long suckers" / hope for the best?

And, while you might (still do a handover), would others?
The only system that aligns more with voters that I'm aware of is the Westminster system but it has is faults too. It is after all the same system that gave us "Yes, Minister" which illustrated and lampooned the fact that the civil service and elected politicians are distinct factions each with their own agendas rarely in alignment with each other (never mind the factions within each faction).

It’s incredible feat of human survival. For all 28 men to survive the ordeal, is nothing short of fantastic. For months they were camped on floating sea ice, and then to tack on a 800 mile journey through open, stormy sea in a battered whaling boat, and finally a trek through the interior of a mountainous island to reach a whaling port and rescue, is incredible to say the least. I’d highly encourage people to read his own memoir of it.

And often it's some percentage of your salary and doesn't include bonuses, RSUs, benefits, etc. It does make a company put some skin in the game and may even seem like a decent deal depending where you are in life but isn't a panacea. (E.g. MA put some much-delayed legislation in place a few years back over strong opposition but it's still something like a 50% of base pay requirement.)
