Science does not say that behavioural therapy works in 100% of cases. It seems you want to believe that it does. I have tried behavioural therapy, it is not right for me, it doesn’t work for me. I pursued different modalities that do work for me instead

Asserting that one modality must work for everyone is ascientific nonsense

Ok, now human rights are controversial?
The one ideal, that whoever you are, wherever you are, you hold universal rights because you are a human.
This are Western ideas and are not true for the global south? This belief is weaponized?

I cannot believe this. Simply outrageous. I never understood the religious people before - to me this is a sacrilege.

Universal human rights are the hill I will literally die on.
God forbid if someone grades the Russian Federation on use of the area it takes up. The old SCTV skit comes to mind.
Thanks for the kind words. But if you’re looking for fancy data-structures, you won’t find them. Haha. It’s just a single object type (sum-type/tagged-union) and lots of cons cells. In other words, just a minimalist Lisp.
Topics yes. Work is much more than a topic. Mathematical equations and solutions are apolitical (in the abstract). Teaching math and working in any communal research setting will be political, for example can you teach these things to that age group/population, how do you test, etc.

None of those are in-chip peripherals. Besides, the RP2040 comes with a lot of peripherals too. Not as much as an ESP32 by a wide margin, but still.
agreed! The basic categories remain, just blurring a bit at the edges.
I think an important distinction people are looking for is:

It's not the mere existence of a person that's an issue, but rather the coercive, punishing activism that takes place around a false idea that human rights are at risk, while these personal choices are simultaneously being celebrated by nearly every government institution and major corporation in existence.

The same activism requires full acceptance by parents, families, and children who do not want these choices influencing their personal lives.

To say these rights are at risk is an outright lie.

It's one thing to have a significant voter base opposed to those choices and still be fully able to live and express those choices freely and publicly — while it's a whole different issue to have governments actively enforcing a different private life against their will (specifically LGBTQ folks).

I have been traveling a lot and since the 1980s tourism, as in adventure, and exploration has been slowly but surely moved into the direction of being a theme park.

Airbnbs further shoved locals out of their own towns so you get to places just to see few different buildings and monuments but at the end of the day there's no real touch with locals and their culture.

Bar Madagascar and India I really cannot say I have seen many places where I didn't feel I was still where I left.

Even Japan is strikingly different. Tokyo has changed tremendously (and shifted extremely to the west culturally) to the point Japanese culture in many areas seems a leftover for tourists. Kyoto suffered this brutal westernization a bit less, but feels like it's just slower.

Anyway the homogenization of music, culture, language, habits, technologies, food and what not is definitely a con when it comes to traveling and wanting to explore a different culture and life.
haha. I'm pushing 50. If somebody asked me "Do you still have it in you" I'd say "What, to disconnect Zoom calls with smug 20 somethings? You bet." [End Call]

Nah, it's actually a blast. We had our first kids when we're legitimately poor. We're fairly well off now and have had a few more. It was just as fun then as it is now.

One's financial well being their childrens' happiness are not intrinsically linked. My oldest kids were just as happy as my youngest. They don't care if your rich or poor. They only care about how you treat them.

Check your outlook friend. There is plenty of bad stuff in the world, but it's mostly good. Go out and enjoy life.
Given how much time an interview process usually takes, I don't think 45 minutes is a lot to ask; if I were the interviewer or were setting policy, I'd advocate for, "sorry you feel that way, but we won't be able to continue the interview in that case".

Then again, not completely sure what the GP means about "screening stage"; if a take-home assignment is given before any kind of substantive interaction between the company and me, that'd be a definite red flag. I'm not going to spend 45 minutes doing your resume screening for you.
I was in the ICU for an extended period of time, and as you can imagine, with the pain, discomfort, noise, and constant monitoring, I really "wasn't sleeping at all". I remember getting frantic and trying to discharge AMA, and the attending came to talk to me and listened to my principal complaint of not sleeping. He looked me dead in the eyes and said, "I'm a sleep doctor who's been watching sleep studies for 30+ years now, and I can assure you, outside of a very small number of patients with serious, often hereditary sleep issues, everyone sleeps. You may not feel like you slept, and can be convinced you were awake, but the body forces you to sleep throughout. And sometimes, when you think you fell asleep immediately, you actually didn't sleep for a while but you stopped forming memories as you were drifting off to sleep". It absolutely did nothing for me in that moment, but it's given me a lot of peace of mind since around sleep. You might still feel like crap, but you won't have anxiety on top of it!
This particular one was a single bus. Looks like there were 30+ operators running similar services:

I do this too, it happens mostly if I went to bed extremely tired or had a drink or two the night before. What works for me is an alarm clock app that forces me to do some moderate math problems before it turns off. I set it to 5 problems of the type "32*5+84".

I can't claim it's 100% successful, I've been known to do the math and go back to sleep. But when that happens I always remember it, so at that point it's more of a laziness problem :D

If Boeing went and delivered all of those planes in the next year or two it would be a disaster for the airline industry. There are so many orders only because airlines are planning out for a decade or more and are slotting in replacements for when they project their current airframes to age out.

The airliner industry is overdue for a disruption at this point. Corporate consolidation has left too few players to get proper competition. Unfortunately the airliner industry is so heavily regulated that even a crazy billionaire would have a tough time breaking in.

I didn't know much about Conway but read the wikipedia page after seeing this post. My take-away was the thing to celebrate was that someone could accomplish so much & have such a meaningful impact despite the politics and environment - wow! These contributions stand on their own regardless of how/when or where they were accomplished. This is an amazing piece of evidence in support of equality in origin and opportunity.
OK, I can understand this, but I think it’s short sighted.

I mean, shouldn’t information stand on its own despite where it comes from? Because this argument is kind of a logical fallacy, attacking the messenger. I mean, I get it. There’s a lot of people saying some really stupid stuff and it frustrates me as much as it frustrates most people.

But one comment there said they wouldn’t even read the article because I wasn’t a doctor. But they don’t know the work I put in or what I understand or the amount of researchers and doctors I talk to you. For instance, I helped a Stanford researcher design, a clinical trial looking at manganese deficiency for people with chronic fatigue syndrome.

And besides, look at the research papers that are coming out now they’re all being retracted and we’re supposed to trust them?

I don’t know I guess this is just kind of frustrating because breaking through dogma needs an open mind and I’m afraid because all of the bullshit noise that people with good ideas who are thinking outside of a dogmatic Ideology just het shut down.

Anyway, thanks for letting me know.

In that example, it seems politics were already allowed, if people were saying things to make Hypothetical Lynn uncomfortable.

Presumably that kind of talk was about transgender issues and not some technical topic about rust which would make her uncomfortable.

So, in that circumstance, it seems only fair that if a person can express their political opinion, so can another person.

But,maybe the leader of the project should have shutdown whatever was making Hypothetical Lynn uncomfortable before she was forced to mount a response to it?

Revideo is different to Remotion.dev in a couple of ways:

First, we use generator functions to describe the flow of animations - every yield within the generator function corresponds to a frame in the video. As a result, our API feels quite "procedural" (animations described at the start of the function appear in the start of the video, animations described at the end appear at the end). Remotion's React-based approach is rather declarative - it gives you a frame number and lets you describe what your video should look like as a function of the frame number. Personally, we find our "procedural" API a bit more intuitive and easier to write than the declarative approach, but we might obviously be biased here.

Secondly, we render to the HTML canvas instead of the DOM. Both have advantages and disadvantages: Rendering to the DOM lets you define animations using CSS, which most programmers are already familiar with. On the other hand, an advantage of using the HTML canvas is that it should allow you to render entirely in the browser rather than using server-side rendering, as you can simply capture the current canvas using canvas.toBlob(). We have not yet implemented this for Revideo, but people in our Discord server have made good progress towards it.

Thirdly, we're MIT licensed while Remotion is not FOSS (if your company has more than three employees, you need to purchase a company license to use Remotion). As described in the post, this was one of our original motivations to build our own video editing framework while we were building video products.
Are they keeping the scans, or just a hash of the scan?
Surely you can be serious
By "modern liberal attitudes", I mean exactly that. Liberal beliefs held by the general public that came about in the modern era (post enlightenment), which is simply a more rigorous description for what you seem to be referring to when you say that the world took a break from conservatism "during the 19th and 20th centuries". All that to say, it's extremely relevant to the discussion.

If, as you claim, conservatism was the main reason for low life expectancy, then at any point in time people could have just stopped being conversative (I don't even really know what you mean by this, but according to you it happened in the 19th century), and their standard of living would have gone up as a result. I'll say it again, this is ridiculous on its face. The industrial revolution, which lead to today's human prosperity was driven almost entirely by SPECIFIC environmental, economic, and cultural conditions. It was not driven by some shift in public attitude about being generally more accepting of change.
Bad news, I was "full stack". That makes it a real apples-to-apples comparison, as I was also full stack on desktop. Except the stack was shorter. Which was my point.
Yeah, that's the thing. Being a dick to your interviewee -- being a dick to anyone -- is just a huge red flag.

And ignoring that, even if the project was just a toy that isn't particularly useful, that's not really the point. Developing and building a project/product from the ground up is useful experience, whatever it is. Demonstrating a valuable skill should never be a prompt for scorn.
Is this the most important problem for your attention right now?

If it is not, pick a name in the next five minutes and move on because your startup might pivot. Optimizing the name is probably premature.

Good luck.
Last Week's Scroll: Conspiracies and Scams
In 2024, at a tech company, I wouldn't find it common. But, especially for people who may have customer-facing roles, I probably also wouldn't find it worthy of comment or really a second thought if someone in the office was wearing one.

When I last interviewed 15 years or so ago, I wore a jacket and tie (though not a suit) when I interviewed in person. I certainly didn't think it was necessary but I'd have been shocked if anyone had considered it to be a ding.
Technically, all proper names may be words, so yes you were/are correct in that sense. It's sort of unconventional, like saying that "Elon" is a word. The way you phrased it ("word" vs "name"), I interpreted as having a non-brand-name meaning.

While I agree that institutions and corporations are more actively participating in human rights issues in the recent past, something I think is a really good thing, I don't see the aspects of that coverage that are coercive or punishing. Your argument disingenuous on two points:

1) Nowhere, in history, does "government actively enforcing a different private life against one's will" mean "you are forced to live or participate in a transgender life". For the entirety of history government and corporations have actively forced "different" people like Lynn to conform to your expectations of them. See Lynn being fired from IBM.

2) "To say they are at risk is an outright lie". The rhetoric and social norms around the existence of transgender people enables violent people to murder them. They are absolutely actively at risk. What other phrase, besides "at risk", would you use to explain that transgender people are 4 times more likely to be murdered. They are literally killed for being different and because we dehumanize them.

I look forward to the day that what you say is true. That there are people who oppose those choices but that transgender people can live a free and public life without being murdered for being themselves. I think what you're putting forward sounds great.
I don't get the whole societal focus on these 'grade school kids attending college classes' type of "genius kids". They are advanced for their age, but that's about it. When you get in the real world, nobody cares about your age, just what you can do, and nothing seems to indicate that those kid wonders are any better off than anyone else.

> A persons right to exist is not political

It is, both in the literal sense of political as “relating to government or public affairs”, and also quite often in the frequently used sense of “controversial between political parties or factions”.

The fact that your political view is that it should not be political (in presumably the latter sense) does not change the fact that it often factually is.
no kidding - even if politics exist in the subject you are always free to not accept it and rise above.
I think a lot of companies forget that the interview is the applicant selling themselves to the interviewer and *the company selling itself to the applicant". That's a strong "reject" signal to me.

But also some of these examples could be from companies who understand the bidirectional dynamic. E.g. if you consider wearing a suit to be a bad sign the company might just as well be glad you don't want to work at a place like that. Win-win!

My contribution to the argument: people who use vapid business buzzwords/ like "win-win" except in the rare cases where it really is appropriate.
You can't run anything on an RP2040. There's no Flash or code space.

RP2040 sits at an awkward placement. It requires external parts, but low end SPI parts and not the nicer proper RAM like DDR3L or the like.

------

My point is that if you have a design that fundamentally requires external parts like the RP2040, the accurate comparison is against MPUs. Chips that are specifically designed to work with powerful and cost effective external components.

--------

Analog-focused designs like ATMega, ESP32 or STM32 comfortably do things that the real computers or MPUs cannot do. Like read a voltage, work with OpAMPs or other analog stuff that cannot fit on a proper Linux computer chip like SAM9x60D1G. And to do so without any external parts, so that you have the simplest design possible.
> How many register sets does a typical SMT processor have? Er, 2, sometimes 4

Way more of them. Pipelines are deep, and different in-flight instructions need different versions of the same registers.

For example, my laptop has AMD Zen3 processor. Each core has 192 scalar physical registers, while only ~16 general-purpose scalar registers defined in the ISA. This gives 12 register sets; they are shared by both threads running on the core.

Similar with SIMD vector registers. Apparently each core has 160 32-byte vector registers. Because AVX2 ISA defines 16 vector register, this gives 10 register sets per core, again shared by 2 threads.
Cuba and Iran are ongoing so they're not exactly ancient history. Other recent examples would definitely include Venezuela and arguably Syria and Libya. Iraq and Afghanistan were more direct attempts at regime change (rather than using proxies) but still fit in most ways.

> It does, without it you don't get video output. You need the soc to have DisplayPort lanes and a phy to the USB-C port.

Of course, you need hardware support. Which has been present since 2017. Yet Google never bothered enabling the feature, so this has nothing to do with the SoC, it's just a choice.

> No phones in that generation had video output.

What? There are literally dozens of counterexamples.

The Essential Phone 1 had video output, not the Pixel 2. Same SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 835.

> Google's Tensor is not a flagship Exynos, but more of a budget cut down "Walmart" version of it, made specifically only for Google.

Cheap or not, Tensor Gx are still direct variations of the Exynos 2x00 line, which have video output.
I know this sounds kind of smug, but you could also "simply" try going to sleep earlier such that you are not as dependent on an alarm clock. I've found that when I am still in deep sleep in the morning, my body has many ways to avoid/ignore alarms, but if I get enough sleep such that I'm already mostly awake by the time the alarm sounds, I don't ignore it.
