Questions like these are hit and miss tho - I can do this because I worked in a sub-field where “write a parser for that” was a common tool to reach for. In my current field I haven’t seen a single parser in any company codebase; a dev that grew up here could be deeply skilled but have a gap around parsers..

Egan's short stories are great, I've never been a huge fan of his long form novels.

This is absolutely a problem. Pretty much any position, including in-office, is swamped by people from far-away countries with no visa.

But I think that's probably a different problem. If we exclude the clueless applicants: the hiring pool is just so much larger. Back in the day you'd live in city X and you'd get get a job in city X, or maybe neighbouring city Y. The number of devs in that location was often in the thousands, or maybe even hundreds (depending on size of city X and Y, obviously).

But now it's everybody in the US, or everybody in the EU and Africa, or everybody in the world.

"Get the best applicant out of five qualified candidates" is one thing. "Get the best applicant out of five hundred qualified candidates" is quite another.
Yes, I agree with you. I've seen this done well and I've seen it done horribly.

"it can generally be assumed that there is approximately 15 mg (+/- 5 mg) of psilocybin per gram of dried mushroom" -Wikipedia

So 25mg is ~1.5g of dried mushrooms.

Decent dose, but not a "omg I'm one with the universe."

For instance, a "Hero Dose" typically starts at 5g of dried mushrooms, so ~3x the dosage used in the study.

Though it's possible the uptake rate using their dosing mechanism is much higher than "stomach acid digested dried mushrooms."
I don't know if it's still a thing or not, but my grandpa was telling me you can get decent jewelry from pawn shops pretty cheap if you find out how often they sell stuff to metal buyers, because metal buyers only pay around the melt price regardless of what its made of, so if you offer anywhere close to that for rings and necklaces and such, they'll often sell them to you for that.
The biggest cause of regime change seems to be the succession of power and the fears around change occurring during succession of power. A ruler dying through old age is a common source of regime change in history as people with varying interests start vying for that position and ensuring the new ruler holds their same interests.
There's some interesting behavioral evolutionary calculus that might be interesting here though. If you find out your kid is trans there is a much lower chance they pass on your genes, could it be natural for the relationship to be more likely to break down after that?

I would think evolution would tend to more or less force the most parental resources to go to the most likely propagation of those genes. Especially if there are lots of other children to vie for attention and resources.
It's hard to compare. You need a clearer criterium for "comparable". If they are comparable in terms of speed, so they are the same. If they are comparable in terms of price, so you need more info about what's the price that you are considering and what are the laptops with similar prices where you live (here in Brazil, Apple products are far more expensive than the others).

Not to mention the architecture: Apple Silicon performs better in some tasks (e.g. running Android emulators) not because they are faster, but because they are ARM.

PS: I have a MacBook Air, but in terms of performance purely there are better options for the same price here.

That's a reasonably common feature in hobby languages, at least for basic flow control. I've seen it a few times before. You could say TCL works like this too in the most horrible way possible.
It's yet another thing this kind of lay audience doesn't understand about the scientific process. What should you take from studies like this? Nothing. They probably shouldn't even be getting shared to Hacker News. They're conducted because we can't experiment using novel compounds directly on humans until we've shown there is some reason to do so first. Finding an effect on mice is such a reason. This type of research is published for the sake of other researchers, who can now see if the effect is also seen in humans.
I don't. I am happy with 2k video in most cases, and good picture quality in low light conditions (accurate color is nice also). 2-way audio can be useful but not a deal breaker.

What I meant when I said there's very little real innovation is exactly that - the fundamentals are good enough (and have been for a few years), and the bulk of product innovation is in how to make cameras smart with AI - which only makes them slower. I like my cameras dumb and fast.

Fair point. I don’t like resumes in which people state that they know X or Y. I prefer the ones focused on what problems were resolved using what technologies.

The only time my referrals haven't been given immediate, obvious special treatment was when it was a referral at a large company, submitted directly to HR through some internal referral webpage. That basically guaranteed them an interview but otherwise didn't move them along. All of my other referrals have been made in-person directly to my manager (or someone up the org chart) and they have invariably been given an offer after an abbreviated interview process.
The argument made here is there are risks learning math when everyone else does, so learn it earlier. Great, but how? Only the very few have the resources and environment to learn non-trivial math early. What does this displace? Is it more important for a kid to learn calculus, piano or a second language? Are younger people capable of learning math in a no-painful way? Why do they have patient, knowledgeable teachers at this level but not later? Math can be hard because of the required discipline and practice - are younger people better positioned to solve this, or worse?

It seems insincere to frame this as math is important, and earlier > later without focusing on what this means, or the opportunity costs. Could we just do a global search & replace on 'math' with 'literature' and end up in the same place?
Is this an issue with WatchOS, the chipset being used, or the size of battery they have chosen?

It is the screen (and cell radio, as I’ll note below). Note that when Garmin started putting OLED screens in their watches, the battery life dropped dramatically compared to a watch with similar innards, but a MIP display.

However, Garmin will still beat an Apple Watch for battery life even with an OLED display, because as you point out, the AW is doing a lot more in the background. And firing up that cellular radio is not cheap on battery, either. I’ve got a Garmin 945LTE with an LTE radio, and let me tell you that when that thing can’t find a cell tower, it’ll crank that radio up and burn through a battery in no time. Not so much that I’ve run out, but enough that I definitely noticed a large difference. It makes me wonder if that isn’t the reason the 945 LTE has been neglected and no other adult watches have been made with cell radios.

But, yes, make a “not so much stuff in the background” mode. If I’m in the middle of a 50 mile race, I don’t need email. I don’t need a lot of background refreshing. The AW does have a mode like that, but without going into a long spiel, I think Apple could do better.
The job market is weird. It seems there are more and more candidates on the market. However, whenever I recruit for senior roles, it seems the candidates are less and less skilled.

This is highly anecdotal. The job post is the same: sr. java developer. Everyone has 5+ years of experience.

I need someone who can:

- explain in depth how a HashMap works
- verbally pseudocode a program that solves a problem, where an adequate solution involves loading a file into a HashMap<int, HashSet<string>> and then filtering the results.

This is not rocket science. It's not trivial, but anyone calling themself a senior programmer should be able to do this. Out of 135 candidates in my last round, 5 performed well on this interview, and 10 more did OK-ish.

It seems the candidates mostly have experience with loading data from one data source, doing some transformation with no regard for performance, calling APIs, and storing data into another data source. Using proper data structures or understanding the performance of an algorithm be damned.
Thank you for the explanation. I did not see that in the FAQ so I must have missed it.

I'll look forward to reviewing your product once it is released, though in fairness I cannot guarantee I'll have the time right now, but I will try.

Why do you think so?

One thing is sure: between June 1977 and August 1982, you could buy an Apple II, but not a Commodore 64.

So, for 5 years, no shunning or social pressure was necessary to make consumers buy Apple IIs over commodore 64s.

That seems... really low? I would've expected way, WAY more than that.

Even later on in the report, they say:

> 31.2% of all application traffic processed by Cloudflare is bot traffic. [...] 93% of bots we identified were unverified bots, and potentially malicious.

So I guess there's a wide range there, from 7% verified at the low end, up to maybe 30% at the higher, hypothetical end?
I agree that 2^32 is better, but the reason is not that division is too expensive because OPs algorithm after standard optimisation does not need any division.

Clearly choosing a base type that is fast on the machine, is key. But I feel even a 64/32 divide with constant operand will be optimised into something reasonably fast on most systems. If you have a counterexample it would be interesting to hear.

A system without fast divide likely doesn't have any floats either. So all arithmetic would be fixed point and 32x32->64 multiplication would be a pretty common operation.
> via Kumon or RSM or something else.

My kids use Kumon and RSM too, only because what their school covers are pathetic. The content may be okay, but the teachers certainly didn't give good enough homework to help the kids deeply understand the math concepts and to get valuable problem-solving skills.

That we rely on Kumon and RSM says a lot the abysmal state of the education quality in the US. Case in point, I would not need Kumon or RSM at all when I grew up, as my school covered way more and way deeper math. Note the US is still the best country for the top students and those who struggled with academics. It sucks only for the majority -- the students in the middle like me. They could've got trained hard, yet the school squandered the opportunity.

They are probably re-engineered by different companies so they have a monopoly on that product for the lifetime of the patent. Could also have a different chemical profile in terms of application and taste.

I guess it is like car tires. One variety could service most and it could be made by a single company but every tire manufacture has their own angle.
The thing is when I’m the interviewer I’m not looking for coders. I’m looking for people who can understand the business, find a solution that is business oriented and produce (if needed) good enough code (we are not Google). So, if you cannot invert a binary tree from scratch but are good at the other skills I’ve mentioned above, I want to work with you.

What good is someone who can code the best algorithm but cannot understand the business? Unless you are working in the top 1% of the companies out there (where you may have the luxury to invent new ways of doing things), for the rest of us our main skill is: to solve business problems with zero or minimal good enough code.

I bought a chainsaw recently for $10. I then bought about $100 of kevlar armor to wear while I use the saw.

No money => no safety

Take a look at history as far back as it will go. Safety expenses only happen when the money is there.

Next time you see someone using a chainsaw, take a look at their protective equipment. If they work for a company, they're likely wearing:

1. ear protection

2. face shield

3. helmet

4. kevlar gloves

5. kevlar chaps

6. kevlar boots

If they're some rando with a saw, odds are pretty good they have none of that on. They won't spend their own money on their own safety. It's only deemed essential if someone else is paying for it.
> I think the expectations for interviews became really distorted during the period a few years ago when some companies were hiring anyone willing to do a short interview.

I find this whole thread really enlightening. As someone who has been trying to move around in tech in the Bay Area, outside of Amazon who hired en masse, most companies have had 6-8 interviews as a standard hiring process for almost the last entire decade. What's really happening is that most of the people who were on the other side, being very selective in who they hire, are now really coming to terms with how bad the process is because they are the ones now trying to find jobs.

The problem always existed for someone else, now it exists for you.

I've thought about this a bit and have decided the main barrier to realizing a software development worker co-op is getting together the sufficient startup capital. A handful of regular tech workers probably lack the liquid capital to self-fund a company. And good luck convincing a VC to invest in a worker coop. The easiest business to build like this would be a software consultancy since it doesn't actually require a product (you could structure it almost like a law firm).

I agree unionization is a very good idea for software engineers and the industry should have tried to do it decades ago. I think it hasn't happened because of the overall weakness of US organized labor and prevailing ideological biases among software engineers which go against our own interests. If unions work well for other highly compensated professionals like athletes there's no reason they can't work for us.
