Creatine for responders slightly improves your leverages by increasing water in muscles, which translates to a few % more weight or few more reps. Guestimate, 5% for weight, 10% for reps on higher rep sets. Which is to say it gives a little more headroom for intermediate/advanced lifters who needs to start dialing in program /volumes/recovery/diet in to progress. A few % of intensity or reps per set across training block makes all the difference. Which makes creatine pretty good no shit supplement if you taking lifting remotely seriously as a hobby when it cost $30-60 per year when bought bulk. Ultimately it's deciding if you're willing to shell out $5 a month to look a bit more swole, have slightly more headroom programming/dietting, or if programming and diet on point, lift slightly more than you otherwise would with the extra water balloon leverages.

> If bazel allows impurely using that dependency from the host, like bazel allows for python, then you'll be able to run into similar issues.

That’s not how Bazel + CGO works at all. It sounds like you are making some guesses here but those guesses turned out to be wrong, sorry.

Go has an internal build system as well as a compiler. The build system drives the compiler. When you use Bazel with Go, you’re bypassing the Go build system entirely. Bazel directly invokes the Go compiler. This means that any of those comments will also get ignored. (Generally, this is how Bazel works for other languages too. Bazel + Rust does not use Cargo. Bazel + Java does not use, like, Maven or Gradle.)

You have to specify the dependencies in your build file. Let's say you have a Go library abc, with a C library xyz.

go_library(
name = "abc",
srcs = [
"abc.go",
],
cdeps = [
"//path/to/xyz",
],
cgo = True,
importpath = "path/to/abc",
)

> In other words, bazel is a lacking implementation of NixOS.

Bazel and NixOS are both good tools for making reproducible builds.

They’re even a good match for each other—grab your compiler from NixPkgs, and build the rest of your project in Bazel. You get the benefit of Bazel’s fine-grained dependencies (Nix has very coarse dependency management), and you can get some specific version of GCC built for both Linux and macOS by tapping into NixPkgs. A marriage made in heaven. (Except for the fact that you are now using two tools which both have very steep learning curves.)

There are a lot of interesting similarities between Bazel and Nix, which is not surprising, since they are solving similar problems.

AI lives in the internet world, it's trained on horrible cesspools of anonymous text like 4chan and reddit. No wonder it will be biased. If you only try to feed it sanitary data you wouldn't have enough to get the results we get now.

You seem to be under some impression that Servo before Mozilla layoff and after Mozilla layoffs are the same? They aren't. I mean, the code is a continuation of effort, but the people who worked on it before and after the Mozilla exodus aren't the same.

Servo originally did have the same goal of better embeddability, but after it's resurrection it's only the same by mostly coincidence. Sponsors (Tizen IIRC) wants a fast embeddable browser. That's about it.
I don’t maintain any particularly important software, but I would be extremely happy to know that code I wrote is used in major products everyone uses; so, I prefer to use licenses that minimize the burdens on users.

Also, I don’t think intellectual property is real and so I don’t think I can make demands on the users of my code: it seems to me that there’s an implicit contradiction in the GPL between the FSF’s anti-IP stances and their attempt to control how their software is used using IP constructs.
Smart and gets things done, by Joel Spolsky: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/10/25/the-guerrilla-guid...

Still a great read. Base idea is that they're smart enough to solve problems and they get things done and don't just blab about ideas which they won't implement. So they'd write code to prove they can get things done.

Brainteasers were okay, but bad at testing the latter. This somehow evolved into Leetcode culture or take home assignments.
They use a tool with outdated data, and no one checks and validates when they do it at a scale.
Agree. I'm talking about the US. Much like today where the belief that 100% of the companies do leetcode, 20 years ago the belief was that 100% of the companies did brain teasers.

Neither are true. And that was my real point. There was still the annoying cargo culled crap that way too mnay companies used, but back then, just like today, plenty of companies don't do this. And that's your point.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong. It's annoying as fuck how many companies interview this way. It's just not as ubiquitous as HN leads on

Energy surplus can be as much of a problem as a benefit. If you look at most economies with baseload power, they're trying to work out how to balance it with renewables.

Much of the costs of Energy are in distribution. Fusion power is more centralised and will incur more transmission costs than renewables close to consumption.

Probably its best use is decarbonisation of steel and production of nitrate/methane feedstock for fertiliser and industry.

Energy is not equally distributed. 10x would be in the hands of energy rich economies, not helping emerging economies.

Mining and metallurgy change their inputs. That's about all.

Possibly, public mass transport moves to more electrified modes but at scale that's still just oil displacement. Again the biggest benefit would be in emerging economies or in population centres like Beijing, Delhi and Dacca. If they had mass transit by electricity the amount of smog and public health benefits would be huge.

10x is unlikely btw. Fusion does not look to be cheap. It's a huge capital investment, comparable to fission, but bigger and mainly to avoid a small waste problem at point of use (it truly is small. High intensity radioactivityis understood, its NIMBYism stopping its storage mostly), plus avoidance of a huge mining waste and proliferation problem, but the thing is even Fusion will come with proliferation risks: it's still emitting neutrons, and can still irradiate materials. Tritium, will be needed in huge supply. Maybe from.. breeder reactors?

In the eighties it was completely nonstandardized and depended heavily on each person you talked with. You would typically visit with a company for the day while they passed you around from person to person. One might have you code something on a whiteboard. Another might ask you a brain teaser. Someone would go through the experience on your resume. And another might ask you something like "how would you figure out the number of pixels needed to make this wall indistinguishable from a picture (i.e., retina display)" just to see how you think. Lunch was often where team fit was assessed.

> An interview is and will always be a balance of your technical skill and your ability to present your work and deal with timely feedback. That’s it.

That's the ideal case. However, reality can be very different. Some companies reach for leetcode-style questions because they don't have a clue how to do the interview process the way you describe it.

> What, is it that if you’re not using it today then you’re somehow “behind”?

That is not something you get to decide. The hiring manager will judge you if you are behind if you can't answer leetcode-style questions. This is not a question of knowledge, but a question of power.

For a couple decades now, the way I have interviewed people is to ask a simple, very-high-level question, then repeatedly asking either "So how does it do that?" (drill down), or "What happens next?" (back out).

For instance: What does 'printf("hello, world\n");' do? Obviously, it prints something, but how does it do that? Pretty quickly you're talking about includes, macros, libc, linking, machine code, system calls... One question can easily fill an entire interview slot.

The fun thing is there's no "right" answer. Nobody is expected to know everything about how software works, but everyone is expected to know something. This format gives the interviewee the opportunity to show off what they know best, and the interviewer gets to pry in to see how deeply they know it.

I'm a low-level guy so that's the direction I tend to probe. Usually someone else asks a similarly abstract high-level question. One of my favorites is: "Design a parking garage". Again, there's no right answer. It's a prompt for the candidate to show what they know. Very quickly they're coming up with functions and class hierarchies and/or data structures for vehicles, spaces, turnstiles, payment kiosks, figuring out how to pass them around, etc. The interviewer has plenty of opportunities to pry into design tradeoffs, add complications, and so on.

The grand idea is to have a deep conceptual discussion instead of just seeing if they can write a few lines of code. This also demonstrates how well they can communicate. The catch is you have to be sure they give some actual concrete answers in a few places, and aren't just fast talkers.

"Remember doing interview prep at the time by trying to memorize the answers to a bunch of these puzzles. "

I remember bumping into a friend on the subway, he was coming back from an interview. We were trying to work out some cockamamie puzzle involving barnyard animals crossing the river. He felt he got it right, but one of the interviewers grilled him.

When I got home I googled the problem and found out there was a generally accepted answer that was wrong. And that's what the interviewer was pushing. My friend had arrived at the correct answer.

And he didn't get the job.

Fallout from Bad '70s Idea: Auto Tires in Ocean Reef (2007)
The human studies they’re proceeding towards are both related to the Group 2B mice, those that were on semaglutide until discontinuation at 4 weeks and then were given a single dose of this new gene therapy. At 8 weeks those mice which had now been exposed to this therapy at 4 weeks still maintained the weight loss that had initially been achieved on semaglutide… this is significant because there’s a huge cohort of humans out there currently on semaglutide who are (based on this and other studies) on a collision course with regaining all their lost weight very shortly after (inevitably, due to either cost, side effects, or attenuation) discontinuing semaglutide.

So the only thing that really matters here is how does 4 weeks of post-semaglutide weight loss maintenance in mice equate to such maintenance in humans. There might eventually be good reason to look at the Group 1 results as something to try and replicate in humans, but the company involved doesn’t seem to be going there just yet.

That's a bit of a misdirection. Yes AI is machine learning all the way down, just like you are biology all the way down. That doesn't make you not-human.

Yeah, here in India people love choosing leetcode hards for when they come to a college and everyone in the college applies to them. Considering how big colleges are here, they just care about the filter rate of the test. Leetcode hards filter the candidate set down to a size that they can realistically interview, and so they continue choosing that. Mediums sometimes let through too many people.

In normal hiring, i.e linkedin, or even college hiring where they look at resumes first, this nonsense rarely happens.

A) no crypto enthusiast or speculator needs to be subscribed to the ethereum foundation’s blog since 2014, which was 10 years ago for reference. But even then forums and twitter worked well enough for resyndicating news.

B) Its more likely they pruned the mailing list multiple times after every bull cycle, asking people if they still wanted to be subscribed to reduce complaints and bounce rates. Crypto bear markets are deep doldrums.

"Smart and gets things done"

Hunter & Schmidt 1998 [1] pretty much boils down to this. Their meta-analysis, predating Spolsky, winds up stating that the only useful thing is a combination of work samples & an IQ test. Never the order and that smells a lot like "are they smart and can they get shit done?"

Look, I am not in favor of (british) colonialism and the problems it created. I am also not in favor of what Hungary is doing, the only country in europe(apart from Vatican), that is activly pushing christianity as a state dogma. We europeans mostly left the abrahamtic religions as state religion behind us and most want to get rid, of what is left.

So I am also not happy for Hindu Nationalists pushing for India to implement Hinduism as a state dogma. Because that is the same principle to me: a strong power dictates life for everyone else below them. That always means ignoring the needs of minorities. And the way you consistently leave out all the non Hindu indians in your lectures about Indias great history, indicates that this will be their fate in a Hindu India. Ignored and forgotten and supressed. The same fate you lament for Hinduism. There you care, but you don't care, when it affects others.

As an Australian I've only ever heard and understood the term "First Australians" to mean the aboriginal / indigenous population, and don't recall ever associating it with "the first fleet".

Two potential reasons for this:

- Sensitivity to the way the aboriginals were treated by the british colonists (which is using overly 'polite' terminology)

- Sensitivity to the 'populated by criminals' stereotype of Australia.
