> just like you BS some answers in your interview, companies do the same as well.

Yeah, and just like they sniff out your BS, you need to sniff out theirs. Ask for details and see if they check out.

You usually don't have a lot of time for detailed questioning with each interviewer though. You should get a lot of time with the manager or lead, but use your other time well; don't ask everyone the same questions unless you expect different answers.

It also helps to figure out what you actually want from an employer. A lot of these articles are written from a perspective that there are specific things everyone should want and must verify, but terrible environments for some can be great for others. Of course, late and missing paychecks is terrible for all.

In the limit, for every person who dies, you do get approximately 1 new person of dating age every year. It’s not like ob gyn’s try to prevent the baby coming out to keep their pregnant customer.
As I understand it: You don't make your categorical imperative (its just one btw), and it has nothing to do with moral, law or truth. And yes, it covers all edge cases but it won't work because they can't build that many Porsches.

Successful leaders would probably refine it and create subcategorical categories that can be handled in ways that are a better fit for their special local case of imperativeness, which means you might still be on the right track after all
The paper says they got 760 wh/l which isn't bad. Normal zinc-air is 2.5x that, but these small ones aren't that different to lithium ion. I think that's pretty great.
The root cause of many of our woes is ambient authority. This is the metaphorical equivalent of building an electrical grid without fuses or circuit breakers.

You have to trust everything, and any breach of trust breaks it all. This approach is insane, and yet, widely accepted as the way things were always done, and will always be done.

If you ever get the chance to use capability based security, otherwise known as the principle of least privilege, or multilevel security, do so.

Know that permission flags in Android, or the UAC crap in Windows, or AppArmor are NOT capability based security.
"Dating" means different things to different people. Some people A) are really looking for potential life/long-term partners and want to take it really slow, others B) are really looking for sex partners with varying degrees of commitment. The general standards and expectations for A and B vary widely amongst individuals, so widely that really IMHO any dating app can't effectively promise anything other than "we'll introduce you to people" unless it explicitly limits its target group to A or B. Even then, people will lie to try get what they want, especially in cultures where honesty about sexual needs and goals is not valued or is only valued if part of a greater economic/societal goal which often has a perceived or actual high bar of entry.

Regarding ecomonics: IMHO there is a general social breakdown related to the general economic breakdown for the non-rich in the U.S.

It's easy to have fun with social and sexual life when it's easy to take care of your basic needs like food, medical care, housing, etc. The 1970's was a lot of fun I guess at least in certain places of the country. Having fun in general has gotten much more difficult for non-rich people over the past 30 years, and it makes intimate/fun social relations also much more difficult. Example: Being a single person living with one's parents because they cannot afford a house or apartment places one at a significant disadvantage, more so if male than female, but females living with their parents and trying to have a dating life may have a hard time.
As I understand it, the company merely needs to be consistent. Either they pay everybody for their accrued time, or they pay nobody.

The mere fact that an application provides you with a volume control suggests the idea of regulating volume with it. If the intention was to always use the headphones/loudspeakers' own control, why include a volume control at all?
That's how they phrased it, but the underlying reason was that users weren't using the app as intended - those first moves quickly devolved into a token "hey".
The idea is nonsense, as I said. No, I wouldn't want a society based on the principle "society values people according to their athleticism." As I said, you are begging the question and removing the agency from this hypothetical justice-seeking person.

I might want a society that lets me excel, create a business, and make money, if I turn out to be good at that. Rawls' "experiment" is simply forcing everyone to be like him.
I am not sure all these rules are for stronger middle class. I have always thought these are for low-paid workers at a warehouse, cleaning the streets, or alike. They are way more replaceable than some specialist. Yet the state offers protection for their time off which they deserve.

Yes. They put "experiment.py" which contains the timeout condition right into the directory of files that they were allowing their agent to access and modify. Don’t act surprised when it accesses it and tries to modify it. This is totally in-scope behavior and 110% expected by anyone who's played around with building an agent for more than 20 seconds.
Israel and China are not playing zero-sum games.

Israel certainly derives benefits from a powerful United States. They may want to influence US politics, but they have a strong collaborative interest.

China is more mixed, but our economies are still intertwined. The CCP might wish to shift balance and reduce the power of the United States, but we still have mutual interests.

On the other hand, if the leaders of Russia or Iran or North Korea could push a button that immediately and completely depopulates the United States without attribution, I'm pretty sure they would push it without hesitation.

Yes this is by law but if the employer is willing it's always possible to agree to immediate termination. The law is there to protect both sides in case of disagreements only, does not limit otherwise.
I wish 'AI' (whatever that means) safety conversations could move past the pointless philosophizing of whether a system is self-aware or not. Regardless of whether it's sentient, which is a philosophical question that probably can't be easily resolved- society has a basic, common-sense interest in complex systems run by LLMs not exhibiting unacceptable behavior. Especially when they start interfacing with the physical world. For example, militaries are moving towards completely autonomous drones and fighter jets, equipped with weapons systems. Let's imagine that such a drone chose to bomb a bus full of civilians. Would it somehow be better if the drone wasn't sentient, but just an algorithm having a bad day? Obviously not.

We're probably going to see increased let's call it 'unacceptable behavior' from increasingly complex autonomous systems. I feel like we should be having calm, practical discussions around safety regulations and best practices, not pointless 'how many angels can dance on the head of a pin' philosophizing about whether it's self-aware or not. It might be helpful to just stop calling everything AI. Safety legislation and best practices might intellectually borrow more from say the manufacturing, chemical, or aerospace industries. Less abstract philosophy please! Well, and less movie references too
I use Firefox with Temporary Containers. Each tab is a brand new context automatically. Tabs don't talk to each other, each of them is separate - although, if you want, you can open a new tab in the same context, and even make permanent contexts. Closed tabs' contexts get purged after some minutes.

It is clearly provocative, as it obviously provoked the commenter, and it isn't interesting. A simple Google search can provide the rationale for it, and focusing on something so trivial is unlikely to provide more thought-provoking, intellectually stimulating discussion than the actual article.

Summary of the USA federal government's zero-trust memo
The military leadership does not want a war it knows it can't win, that's correct. This is why it has more or less openly rebuked the government on at least one occasion: pointing out that Hamas is an idea, for instance, and that you don't destroy an idea with bombs and bullets (note these things can destroy a city or a people).

Israeli society appears to be splitting. There is now a faction which is openly eschatalogical in not only tone but core epistemology and which exerts growing control over the state.

The fact that Netanyahu remains seated atop this increasingly schizophrenic tiger is not evidence of sound leadership or any real desire for peace, it merely demonstrates adroit maneuvering on his part and the subservience of the American political class. Before last October a decent fraction of Israeli society wanted to see him in a courtroom.

I think it's becoming less and less meaningful to speak of what "Israel wants". For that matter, the same may be said of the United States, whose foreign policy one would be hard-pressed to call coherent. One common factor appears to be an inability to recognize that other nations may have legitimate security interests, another seems to be indiscriminate paranoia, and intransigence a third.
My last office job had unlimited vacation and I never used it (not did most of my coworkers) and at the end of the year you neither had the days taken off nor had you accrued any credit for I taken time.

At the job before that I had accrued 6 weeks of PTO, which was the max. I took every other Friday off after that and was paid out a month and a half when I left the company. Everyone understood the situation, so it wasn’t looked down upon when I was gone every other week.

My perspective was that unlimited PTO was a scam to reduce vacation time. Most people are not going to take advantage of it, so the company benefits.
what is this program called?

The fact that we tolerate this shit is unbelievable.
Cookie Autodelete can trigger on tab close rather than app exit
Autodelete is old tech if you ask me. If you open the sites before the autodelete happens, then the tracking still happens. Temporary Containers is an addon that solves this elegantly.
I think this is great news.

Social media gets a lot of deserved blame for worsening our ability to connect meaningfully across interests and differences in beliefs.

But I have to imagine dating apps have been nearly as bad in terms of their impact on emotional development alongside another person.

They commoditized relationships, whether intentionally or not. They squarely fit the bill of “too much of a good thing”. Relationships are hard, and dating apps removed the incentive (i.e. avoiding the effort of having to find someone new) to work through the hard shit.

I’m sure there’s been a net positive effect for some demos or cohorts. My bet though is a significant number of people are facing an increasingly harder time finding meaningful, long-lasting relationships, either because they or their partner have too high of expectations for how “easy” they should be, and they know they only need a few swipes in an app to reset and try again.

While I agree that they probably are having a decent profit on accessories like controllers, electro-mechanical parts are surprisingly expensive in my experience. A good potentiometer or joystick can cost way more than the rest of the circuit that uses them.

> COD4 is apparently set in 2011 - do players not have automatic weapons anyway?

Sure, but with games being games, to make single-shot weapons interesting game designers usually make single-shot weapons more accurate and do more damage as a trade-off for their lack of automated fire. Of course with a rapid-fire controller you can get best of both worlds in that regard.
Well, what about bank accounts then? Can be seized too.

Without going into personal details and to keep this slightly professional, this and last year was quite harsh on me because of mental health issues.

Next semester I'll be graduating out of undergraduate studies of software engineering, I have one semester left with a few courses + internship and dissertation.

My main issue is that, well. I haven't done much in terms of last years, only what was required of me with a few rare exceptions. Because of this, I don't have much in terms of portfolio (and while I'm working on it, I still have to admit I'm far behind my peers). Related to that, I failed to get an internship because of this and fumbling interviews, so I'll be doing an unpaid one assigned to me by the university.
It is hard for me to piece myself together because of feeling of shame, and I feel it still prevents me from going back to learning. I saw how much knowledge I'm still lacking, and the same in terms of actual ability to code. I'm struggling with healthy "coping" habits, with this. I know that the correct course of actions is to admit that from now on it would be preferable from me to just start working harder, but I'm suffering from perfectionist tendencies and all-or-nothing mentality.
There's also this thought that I have already messed up my future prospects hard, as recently I'm finding myself doubting my intelligence and not seeing myself as having chance of being a software engineer or even working in IT.

Have any of you dealt with this issue? If possible, I'd be curious to hear if someone experienced also went through this.
Recoll is magic...
The trouble with “interview the interviewer” is that you typically have, best case, 10 minutes left over to ask your perfunctory “any questions for me?” Just enough time for you to scratch the surface. If you throw hardballs, the interview will run out of time before you can throw many of them.

Unlimited vacation is a marketing bullshit. Can I work for 3 months there and go for vacation for another 9 months? Not really. Then it not unlimited.

To have it really unlimited you need a special position, like be a relative of CEO. But in that case you can have the same even with limited vacation policy.

From my experience the best one currently is EveryDoor. But even if you just use Organic Maps, it has some basis functionality to add and edit places.

StreetComplete is also great and very beginner friendly, but it is mostly for completing missing information for existing places. However, I think quite recent addition was that now you can actually add new places. Haven't used it much though.

Yes, looking it into it more, Lit-html is doing a few things to make it all work:

1. It leans on support for the <template> element from browsers to hold fragments of HTML

2. For most use cases, it has a more restricted programming model compared to React or other vdom libraries, because templates are not allowed to change the shape (the tree structure of nodes) of the templated DOM.

3. For some cases where you want it to act more like React (for example, dynamically picking an HTML tag) you must use other mechanisms such as unsafeStatic. The docs explicitly tell you this immediately triggers a re-render = slow.

So I guess that answered my own curiosity: the vDOM is mostly replaced by a collection of static templates that don't need to be diffed, because the onus is on the dev to write DOM fragments where the tree does not change.

This is a more restrictive model that what React gives you, where you can generate any fragment tree, including ones with different shapes, entirely programatically.

If you do want the tree's shape to change, then lit-html isn't promising you good performance. You'll need to use methods like unsafeStatic which are slow. All in all, this is pushing more work off onto the developer.

Is this a good tradeoff? I think for most websites you can probably work within Lit's programming model. But the benchmarks you yourself linked points to many, many vDOM libraries that are about as performant as Lit (including React, whose main downside somewhat more memory usage) and has a more convenient React-like programming model.
> If the mother has multiple children, it’s not really practical for a company to hold their spot open for like 8 years and I don’t think this happens even in the most progressive of European countries.

Almost no one in Europe has 8 children but I know women who went on maternity leave 3 times. Generally kills your career as you don‘t advance during those years (and most only work part time afterwards) but the original job is still there.

Especially in very large companies, it‘s not too big of a burden. Just some extra slack in headcount planning. It‘s pretty rough in smaller companies. I used to sit on the board of pre-school. 5-6 employees, all women, lots of pregnancies and with the added twist that if they didn‘t have certain childhood diseases or vaccinations, they weren‘t allowed to work the entire pregnancy. We had to hire a lot of folks on temporary contracts.

Worth pointing out, while we had to pay the salary in case of work not being permitted and the time no work is allowed for anyone pregnant (6 weeks before birth and 8 weeks after), this is fully reimbursed trough insurance schemes every company has to pay into.

lol. The German cope is strong here.

It doesn’t generally get included for the same reason IBM doesn’t typically get included in list of ‘tech companies’, even if they are one of the oldest actual tech companies.

Been around forever (70’s or earlier), large multinational, more about business integration and sales than any headline tech. Frankly, their tech has been a side thought for a very long time internally. It’s a blue chip that happens to involve tech, not a ‘tech company’ like any of the FAANGs. Same issue Tata/Wipro, etc. have IMO. Arguably Oracle falls in the same class too.

A parallel comment mentioned Deutsch Telecom, but they’re really not a ‘tech company’ anymore than T-Mobile, AT&T, Comcast, etc. are.

If we include it anyway, that gives Germany 2 and the US…. Several dozen? Minimum? Maybe 50ish, actually. Even if we don’t use the same broad criteria in the US.

If we use the same broad criteria in the US, probably 1/3 of the Fortune 500 qualify,

If you don’t value simplicity and choosing good abstractions, I don’t think Go will help you that much over JS.

Go or JS, you are going to have to apply good judgement to the portions of the ecosystem you adopt or you will get burned.
