I would ask myself first, why the partisans want to kill me.

There were (and maybe still are) indeed also communist fanatics - but the common red partisan was not a bloodthirsty killer going after anyone who had private property.

So the alignment with the Nazis of the wealthy and privileged happened way before. I am from germany. We had the same story, the common people all did not turn Nazis overnight, but fear of the communist made them align with the Nazis. And the rest is history. I am no expert on concrete romanian or slovenian history. But what I know sounds pretty much the same what I know from german history where I have also first hand accounts. And I strongly disagree to that excuse. The bourgeois did had a choice and it was NOT just between communist or faschism. But they eventually did choose one side - and bear the responsibility. They did fought for a faschist europe, with all implications.

Well, if we’re using the output of AIs, writing blog post articles with it and using AI to post comments on Reddit/X etc (as some do), and a few years later OpenAI et al refresh their datasets to train a new model, then you’re doing exactly that aren’t you? Using lossy model outputs to put into the function again, that is

Unfortunately a lot of places teach software engineers to build over complexity before they need it. I like to remind people that StackOverflow ran on a couple of IIS servers and a msSQL db for a good while before scaling up to a little more than a couple of IIS servers. Hell they didn’t even do the CDN thing until 2017 or something similarity “crazy”. Mean while you have hordes of developers who write interfaces which will only ever be consumed by a single class because they’ve been taught to do so.

As I see it the only way to look at scaling issues is that you’ve made it. Almost no user facing software will ever reach a point where something like Django couldn’t run it perfectly fine. It’s when you do, you build solutions, which sometimes means forking and beating the hell out of Django (Instagram), sometimes going into Java or whatever, spreading out to multiple data bases and so on. Of course once you actually hit the scaling issues you’ll also have enough engineers to actually do it.
Well I’ll be damned if it didn’t make my day to read somebody talking so honestly about their life. Thanks for the being relatable, and for putting yourself out there.
Though luck. Be more careful next time. That's how licences work (not only open source ones, or software ones).
The MIT license was added by Alexander himself in the initial commit in June 2021.
Since then Roman has contributed actively to the code and Viktor started to contribute more recently.

So there are people who contributed the code under the MIT license, so its not a sole work of Alexander and the license was not added as a mistake.

IMO from a legal standpoint Roman is absolutely in his right to redistribute the code.

https://www.powersync.com/ is a similar approach, but using sqlite on the client.

https://zero.rocicorp.dev/ also deserves a mention, but I believe it’s more of a read cache with writes going directly to the server. I’m not sure if it supports SQL client-side or has its own ORM.

I'm just curious if you think Exxon is the one giving the order to drill oil, or the one getting paid by others to do it. I'm not saying it's OK to do a bad thing just because someone else paid you to do it, but I am saying that a narrow focus on Exxon (and even more generally, a narrow focus on blame assignment) distracts from the systemic change needed across the entire global economy.

By all means punish the people who ordered the actual, specific hacking crimes highlighted in this thread, but trying to pin climate change on oil companies ignores the fact that the orders come from civilization at large.
Hi Joseph! I am sorry, I was not trying to say your work sucks. I was trying to (1) help practitioners understand what they can expect, and (2) motivate problems like the one you mention at the end.

(1) might seem stupid but I think just evaluating these systems is a challenging enough technical problem that many teams will struggle with it. I just think they deserve practical advice—I know we would have appreciated it earlier on.
It is written a little confusingly but that's not what they're saying. They were saying you can't implement a union in user code with the current garbage collector because there's no way to tell it which variant your union is:

> let's ask why we can't implement such a union type today using Go's unsafe package to perform suitable manipulation of a suitable memory region.

They are aware that you could add union types to Go - their point is that it would require garbage collector modifications which may be difficult:

> The corollary to all of this is that adding union types to Go as a language feature wouldn't be merely a modest change in the compiler. It would also require a bunch of work in how such types interact with garbage collection, Go's memory allocation systems (which in the normal Go toolchain allocate things with pointers into separate memory arenas than things without them), and likely other places in the runtime.

Why are you using the media as an example? They are at least based in the country they operate.

Yep, it’s why I stopped looking for software development jobs long ago. It's this die-hard criterion that’s based on very isolated problem-solving issues rather than the big picture or the concept at least. This has resulted in the current outcome of software development nowadays, where you need a ‘wrangler’ (aka product manager) and all sorts of useless methodologies to deliver a product that’s literally identical to hundreds of products out there.

It gets even worse than that, with hiring based on arbitrary values. One of the companies I worked for before had an engineering manager who chose one candidate over another simply because he had a repo with thousands of stars.
While we are it - are there any good resources on how to best self host a Postgres database? Any tips and tricks, best practices, docker / no docker etc?

I used to really like the idea of take homes, then I had kids and discovered just how hard it is to find time to do these (particularly for multiple applications while working).

Don't get me wrong, I think that they're generally a better test for the actual role, but they're not perfect, and they're game-able by spending way more time on them.

Interviewing is hard. Like, ideally, we'd just centralise the administration of these tests and you'd do a few every year (so formal CPD rather than an expectation that people do it in their off time) but that is never gonna happen in the tech industry for various good and bad reasons.

If you want a program that will run almost everywhere and still run in 30 years time, then shell/Bash is a good choice.

I'd think about actioning the individual only if it was exactly the same issue every time (how did the same issues manage pass time and time again, didn't we learn anything as a team?). Otherwise I'm more in the mentality that breakages are a great way to improve internal flows against (inevitable) failures.

I think the real problem would be when a developer cannot manage to get any code into production (e.g. Code stuck in PR for weeks) but once the rest of the team and our systems approve it then they have proven their worth.

Also, if developer X's code keeps passing code reviews, CI/CD, QA and UAT, and it's not the fault of the systems in place, I would ask myself what kind cutting edge stuff are they working on?
A friend of a friend is a forensic linguist. It's her party trick! When she meets someone for the first time she'll chat to them for a bit then suddenly say where they're from.

She can also tell you where you moved from and to, where you studied, etc. Suffice to say fun for everyone involved.
It’s not only about current value. As anyone who has had their house wiped out and an insurance payout, acquiring everything again when you settle back is a massive time sink (let alone cost, if you were insured at fair market value rather than replacement value)

So yeah, the rent on the unit might be more than your crap is worth, but having it all back in a blink (essentially) when moving back someplace has some intangible value too.

>Do we discard the democratic process because someone undesirable by the educated middle upper class won by majority?

Why do people on this thread keep hammering on this ridiculous point? He is discarded for breaking the law in multiple points, not because he is "undesirable by the urbanites" or whatever ffs. If it was the "soy globohomo candidate" or whatever you'd call it that was breaking these laws, he should also be suspended.

This is the only conclusion I take from this: you are so anti-democratic that you cannot fathom following the rules impartially, that indeed if a court determines that a candidate broke the law it must be because it is trying to manipulate election results. Because this is what you would yourself do if you had that power, protect "your" guy and persecute the "other" guy?

Maybe they should. You can cheat all you want but as long as you win, you win. What’s the point of campaign finance laws if they can be broken with no meaningful consequence? The candidate’s campaign gets a “fine” that they pay out of campaign money anyway. But they still can win.
The last question asks if you'll share data, and says that they'll prioritise those that do.

I'm less optimistic. Between the fraction of the planet's surface that's suitable for life, the lack of tides, the (likely) lack of plate tectonics, and impairment of the various cycles ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biogeochemical_cycle ) - tidal locking to the star will profoundly degrade the planet's suitability for life.

Tidal locking may also rule out having a planetary magnetic field. Though "protect the atmosphere" may not matter much, if said atmosphere (plus the water) has all condensed and frozen on the dark side of the planet.

Its the economic pressure western nations use to bully other countries. They aggressively bought themself into Ukraine by bribing officials and other key persons. Its no secret that companies like Monsanto and others played dirty games and did not care for it citizens at all. Just like now. Or do you believe there any sympathy for Ukrainian citizens from western powers. Of course not. They only see dollars and more dollars. Ultimately the west with its economic expansion greed needs Russia to fall apart so that they can continue to grab what they need.

> I think the primary change is that these debates were focused on producing diffs that humans read; now the debate is whether the algorithms can accomplish this result with no human involvement at all.

The better the diff captures the intent of the user change, the easier the diff is to read, AND it also becomes easier to understand merge conflicts, as the conflict becomes a conflict of intents and not characters.
Sometimes certain conflicts can even be avoided if the diffs are chosen right (or are expressive enough, e.g. when code moves can be detected).

Hol up. Sailing culture is VERY different from RV culture. I lived on a sailboat for years, going up and down the US coast, startup hopping. The sailing culture is very friendly, especially to kids (who are treated more like small adults than children). The people I met along the way are life-long friends. If I needed a ride to an auto store to pick up new house batteries, engine parts, or even to a Walmart, there were always people to give me a ride.

RV culture is much more lonely and expects people to be more self-sufficient. If you need help, there may or may not be people to help you; for sure, the whole campsite won’t jump to help, unlike a marina.

At least, that was my experience.

I would take an hour of live coding any time over a take-home task that is one hour only on paper and takes you three in reality.

Engineering is collaboration, and it's fair to expect candidates to talk, solve problems, and explain their solutions.

Where we could do better as an industry is the type of problems we give to people. I'm not a fan of LeetCode-style questions, especially when multiple ones are asked. Something closer to Earth would be better. But even if you have to ask something algorithmical, I'd prefer the style of "Advent of Code" exercises where the same problem has variations and multiple levels of complexity.
