Hey, once a year isn't so bad.
That's not the only issue. India has over 1,600 native languages and 22 "official" ones. Which language would a country like that represent?

What about colonial nations like the US or most of South America. Do the native languages not get a symbol because a colonial history resulted in a foreign language being the dominant one?
Google Translate only supports French and French (Canada), not French (Swiss) — at least that I can see.
There seems to be a lot of generalized nostalgia for the 90s at the moment. 1998 might not be such a bad place to be stuck ...
https://languageicon.org/ strikes me as a plausibly better option for the scenario you describe.
I once worked in the US for a Japanese company that had their manuals "translated" into English and then sent on for polishing. Like the parent, it would be mostly "a bunch of phrases that were grammatically correct, but didn't really convey much meaning" . I couldn't spend more than an hour a day on that kind of thing; more than that and it would start to make sense.
Not if you’re applying to hundreds, or thousands of jobs. Unless you know someone, it’s a quantity game.

How come there is so much "permanent" config for SD cards?
So you're saying that in order to produce cars at a price point that will actually sell, manufacturers are going to be forced to start doing more of their production domestically?

Oh no!
Places like Wikipedia have a list of languages spelled out in the orthography most used for the written version of that language.

I don't see what the problem with that is. Universally understandable to anyone who knows the written version of their language
They are joking.
Believe it or not but a vast majority of readers have no interest drowning in materiel specs while reading a book.

Ridiculous, I know. I had the same reaction when someone recommended I read the abridged Moby Dick(without knowing I've read the unabridged thrice), because who wants to hear about all those random whale facts?
Remember when the entire right wing shat itself over Obama appointing "czars"?
I fended up a genuinely scary pack of dogs with the arms up, yell, and be dominant approach one time. It worked despite being a genuinely dangerous situation. Not long after, I was scared shitless when a rat ran towards me (rather than away), despite me gesturing to it to do the opposite. Literally fled in full flight. Animals are funny.
Is this nostalgia for "good old capitalism" you accuse him of having is reflected anywhere in the linked article or do you have other sources?

Man, that sounds unfair. If I would be the owner of a FAANG company, I would tell the EU to fuck themselves instead of using them as a piggy bank. Why do those FAANG companies still want to do business there? It almost sounds like the EU wants companies to pay taxes and fines if they violate the law.

An alternative theory is that you were not in every relevant meeting.

I am sorry for the sarcasm, but I totally don't buy it. And you understand why.
The current system is wildly unfair and harmful to American manufacturers, and it's especially unfair to American brands that manufacture abroad but bring their goods to the U.S. in bulk.
If you get really good researchers away from cash-strapped CDC into private sector — not sure if this will play out, and if private sector would be interested, or if their research even has earning potential — but it "might", right?

> You still haven't answered the question:

As phrased, I don't think the first would be illegal. It probably doesn't actually meet the definition of a quota, although use of the word "quota" is likely to receive stricter scrutiny.

If it can be met without illegal practices, it's perfectly fine, and if you don't actually institute a quota, even if you call it a quota, it's fine.

If the goal can be met by expanding the talent pool or by reducing discrimination, it doesn't matter what you call it.

> Say an orchestra adopts anonymous auditions, and the representation of women rises from 33% to 50%. That's a non-discriminatory hiring policy.

> Another orchestra issues a "goal" or "representation target" or "diversity milestone" or some other euphemism that allocates 50% of the orchestra seats to women. That's a discriminatory hiring policy.

Now what if they are the same orchestra, that is, they set a goal of hiring 50% women, and meet it by blinding auditions? Again, my contention is that it is not necessary to undertake illegal activities to achieve a diverse hiring goal.

You seem to agree with this in theory, but when given any concrete policy proposal, even ones that are widely accepted and have been adopted by wide swaths of the US for the better part of a century, you claim that they are illegal. You're simply incorrect.

> Not regularly, only when companies are successfully sued for discriminating.

This is approximately a weekly occurrence (they settle about 2 cases per week), I'd say that's fairly regular.

Further, such goals were required by all federal contractors from 1965 to Jan 20 of this year (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_11246), its kind of silly to continue to claim that diversity goals are illegal when they've been required by every federal contractor for longer than any of the companies you've mentioned have existed.
Doing the work on a large amount of miscellaneous parcels is going to have pretty much the same problem.
Yeah that is quite the accomplishment. A few hundred? Most audio books are like six to ten hours of continuous audio!
What I've realized is that the fame of the book is closely related to how interesting and unique the "elevator pitch” of the book. Which makes sense when you think about it; It's the elevator pitch that's spreading by word of mouth, not the book.

It's also become clear to me that there simply isn't a single "quality of writing" metric. Write quality is made up of dozens of factors (prose, character development, world building, plot development, grammar, uniqueness, pacing, dialog, etc). Each person balances those factors differently, and trying to squash them into a single metric is just bad communication.

Personally, I love sci-fi with good world building; As long as the book has great world building, a decent plot, and a unique concept; I'm usually willing to give it the label of "average writing" despite the bad prose, clunky pacing, and cookie-cutter character development. But other people immediately turned off by the negative factors (especially bad prose).
I really wish there were. It'd make things a lot easier for me!

There aren't really existing unambiguous language icons, at least for the majority of languages, so it'd be less about making them a formal emoji and more about actually inventing + "legitimising" new icons so they can be broadly and uncontroversially used.

I doubt that'd happen in practice - there just isn't a pressing need, and you'd need an enormous (and likely controversial) public education campaign to make them adoptable - but it would be a neat design problem. r/vexillogy would have a field day.
no, cause nobody would understand them. Words exist, and websites that needs to show a lot of languages (google translate, deepl, wikipedia etc) just show you a list of names. It's really the easiest solution, cause people are _also_ really used to scanning text for their own language.
It's trivial for writers to not be able to live up to the expectations of a huge number of dedicated fans.
Today I decided that what I need is:

- prompt from command line directly to Claude

- suggestions dumped into a file under ./tmp/ (ignored by git)

- iterate on those files

- shuttle test results over to Claude

Getting those files merged with the source files is also important, but I’m not confident in a better way than copy-pasting at this point.
You can use the iso code of the language itself as an abbreviation, with the name of the language in that target language next to it. The iso code is OK to use if you need a short “icon” for the language. There is a few standard icons representing “Translation” if you need iconography for the idea of a language switcher, too.

The deportations clearly hurt at a human level. But surely they will hurt other Americans, just as with Brexit.

Brexit, afaik, didn't lead to a particular wave of deportations, however many EU expats decided to go back. This is visible not just in statistics, but also at all levels of services: from waiters to doctors to carers, everywhere there's a shortage of employees. Wages are going up (nice) except business can't offset these with higher prices and are struggling. The people hired now tend to be British and the reason they were substituted with EU workers in the first place is that they were better or cheaper.

From an end user perspective, the things that used to be staffed by foreigners became less good and more expensive.

Never heard this and Google is just giving me a bunch of law firms.
My ethics are “this is unequivocally wrong without consent”.

Thankfully my work was on payment products that serviced businesses and government entities, so I did not really have to deal with that moral quandary.

However it gets muddier in other spaces as well. There are types of cards, like HSA/FSA that require something similar to level 3 data called IIAS that is used to determine what parts of your purchase are eligible. In the parts of the systems I have worked with, this is covered by HIPAA, but I have no idea if there are “clever” methods to sneak that data out of the chain elsewhere.
Come on. I'm saying people in general don't want to be associated with a flag that's not of their country.
Can't forget Indonesia and Monaco!
I checked the website and, at least at the combo box on the landing page, it already has the language name! I guess that you could just go without the flag there, and it'd still work. I'm curious though, what flag would you use for English? Would it depend on whether you spell gray or grey? Duolingo uses the United States of America flag, so there's that.
For most PhD students their first project will most likely be something that the advisor has scoped. As you stand on your feet and learn your field (aka around your 2nd-3rd year) you will start noticing some legitimate literature gaps. One of them will also be viable & interesting to look at.
I think that “part of the scientific community” actually wants to do what needs to be done: “We have to really understand what’s going on under the hood,” she said. “If we crack how they perform a task and how they reason, we can probably fix them. But if we don’t know, that’s where it’s really hard to do anything.”
Yeah, we found this when we started doing take-home exams: it turns out that a junior dev who spends twice as much time on the problem than what we asked them to doesn’t put out senior-level code - we could read the skill level in the code almost instantly. Same thing with cheating like that - it turns out knowing the answer isn’t the same thing as having experience, and it’s pretty obvious pretty quickly which one you’re dealing with.
> it feels like there’s nothing I can do except do the same.

Why does it feel like that when you’re replying to someone who already points out that it doesn’t work? Cheating can prevent you from getting a job, and it can get you fired from the job too. It can also impede your ability to learn and level up your own skills. I’m glad you haven’t done it yet, just know that you can be a better candidate and increase your chances by not cheating.

Using an LLM isn’t cheating if the interviewer allows it. Whether they allow it or not, there’s still no substitute for putting in the work. Interviews are a skill that can (and should) be practiced. Candidates are rarely hired for technical skill alone. Attitude, communication, curiosity, and lots of other soft skills are severely underestimated by so many job seekers, especially those coming right out of school. A small amount of strengthening your non-code abilities can improve your odds much faster than leetcode ever will. And if you have time, why not do both?
There are many 'overwatch' type jobs, a number that carry heavy responsibility, that mostly only require "light regular attention" and the skill level to be on the ball and top of your game in bursts.

Versions I've had:

* Control room operator in an industrial plant (watch, make sure things are routine (listen to music | audio book), deal with "exceptions" (tradespeople locking machines out, bringing them back online, co-ordinating)).

* Maintaining throughput on data processing pipelines (eg: geophysical data processing, tape | drive | archive loading, initiating various steps, looking for "oddities" .. letting the machines run (listen to audiobook, watch console)).

* Several other variations I could list (but time is short ATM).
Random whale counterfactuals too - remember the insistence that whales are fish?
Get into a different part of the industry: I’ve never touched any of that stuff and have gotten on quite fine for 30 years so far. From the outside, the software engineering world of the web-centric tech industry is one that sounds absolutely dreadful (and has for a while). There is a ton of software being written that isn’t nearly as miserable.

Of course, if ones metric is “FAANG or nothing” or maximizing compensation, you get what you seek - which may be miserable work in exchange for status and cash. I realized a long time ago that neither status nor cash outweighs enjoying what I do.
But it's not meant to be shared widely, for most people it's meant to be shared with consideration and/or permission.

Also, it's not just about "a desire not be interrupted by people you didn't agree to be interrupted by", it's about not having the data in the first place, for any reason, including tracking of any sorts.
Here is the list of wikipedia languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:SiteMatrix

Not to mention the software is translated into more (you can go to preferences to see the full list), wikipedia just makes the practical decision that there is no point having british, american and canadian english as separate projects, but you can chose any of them for the software interface (interestingly there are separate wikipedia projects for https://sco.wikipedia.org https://jam.wikipedia.org and https://ang.wikipedia.org)

Wikipedia has more languages then there are countries.
It's the importer that pays the tariff.

You could make being subject to the tariff depend on the shipper volume of course.
Okay, honest question: in what world is a magnitude 5.9 a "major" earthquake? 5.x earthquakes happen multiple times per day somewhere, and the same area had known much worse earthquakes in the preceding century.

How bad do your buildings have to be to get a 3-digit death toll from something that weak? I'd expect a 3-digit toll for "number of fine-china plates broken".
Most of my friends seeking to increase recall and retention already make use of some kind of flash card application, so something like this might be better suited as a type of plug-in.

Personally, I wouldn't want to fragment my knowledge across multiple flash card systems.

The few times where it's been really important for me to remember information from a podcast I've fed the podcast audio file into deep whisper and asked ChatGPT to create a question answer cards to import into Anki.
My only gripe with Netguard is that it screws up roaming. With that enabled I couldn't access apps like my bank and various others when I was out of the country. Other than that, amazing piece of software.
This is just me, and I find that I go through periods of listening to podcasts and then it falls off my routine.

When I would think about it, listening to podcasts was low intensity edutainment, it feels like you are learning something but you really aren't, or the learning density is so low that most 45 minute podcasts could be summarized in 10 bullet points. It was not unlike watching a BBC planet earth nature show. Afterwards you know that a bird somewhere can spin its head around twice without breaking its neck but not much more.

I went on a quest to read Hugo award winning novels a couple of years ago and have come to the conclusion that there is disappointingly little correlation between award winning and quality writing as well. Or the people who judge books have different criteria than I do as to what makes a book good.

> You have made a very cool project

Thanks, I appreciate it ;)

> Keyboard shortcuts

It is on my missing feature list.

Another missing feature is next or previous stroke buttons (and keyboard shortcuts). I want to be able to use this flawlessly on a device without a touch screen, where you simply draw the kanji on a peace of paper (or even your palm). Users that use it like that should be able to benefit from stroke hints as well.

On the vocab list, the purpose is to give you some example words which you can use to learn the reading. I usually bookmark 1-3 words in my first writing practice, which will then appear at the top of the vocab list for later reviews, I will than try to learn along with the kanji. Another missing feature is integration with Anki proper. I would like to quickly create a vocab card for that word and add it to my Anki deck (I would rather not use this app for vocab practice). My current ordering of the vocab words is kind of a mess, I do some JLPT word-list prioritization. Having the most basic words on top. randomizing could be a good feature here. Another could be alternate sorting for the vocab words, or even a search bar.

I actually just host this on github pages, so I don’t have access to access logs (or I don‘t know how to access them). In the near future this is going to be a progressive web app with a hard cache of all the assets (which I generate into static assets from an sqlite3 database on my own machine) so you could actually use this offline with if you previously browsed the kanji.
Yes. There are three types of bond failure:

- adhesive failure: the adhesive splits from the substrate

- cohesive failure: the split occurs within the adhesive

- substrate failure: the split occurs within the substrate.

Whichever of these that is weakest limits the maximum strength of the bonded item.
To get an idea of just how advanced cheating tools has become, take a look here:

https://leetcodewizard.io/

I think every interviewer, hiring manager ought to know or be trained on these tools, your intuition about candidate's behaviour isn't enough. Otherwise, we will soon reach a tipping point where honest candidates will be at a severe disadvantage.
Maybe you should find the real name and post it as a reply.
this, because msft spent years and many $$$ to build an open-source ecosystem. apple hasn't done that yet, so I'm not sure why anyone would trust them
Or they will just charge more.

A US company that buys metal castings from Canada and sells finished parts back to a factory in Canada might decide to look for a new source, but it's not a given that they will find one, or that switching would make more sense than losing business to higher prices.
If you've been given the problem of "without using AI, answer this question", and you use an AI, you haven't solved the problem.

The ultimate question that an interview is trying to answer is not "can this person solve this equation I gave them?", it's usually something along the lines of "does this person exhibit characteristics of a trustworthy and effective employee?". Using AI when you've been asked not to is an automatic failure of trust.

This isn't new or unique to AI, either. Before AI people would sometimes try to look up answers on Google. People will write research papers by looking up information on Wikipedia. And none of those things are wrong, as long as they're done honestly and up front.
I paid for pcapdroid, it's a network monitoring app that use the vpn protocol on Android to monitor every packet sent, register which app made the request, to whom, dates and so on.

In it's paid feature, you can select app to block internet connection or you can select country, ip and host.

After browsing my internet logs, it shocked me to see some app I had absolutely no idea were spying so much.

Xiaomi home ? Yeah I knew Xiaomi app would be spyware. But Spotify for instance, how could I guess it sends every few hours data to remote server including Facebook ones.

Until I find replacement for Spotify, but most music streaming app do spy on its user (and I don't mean just learning what music you like), I can still block all the graph.facebook.com tracking.eu.miui.com Google ads.gdoubleclick.net and so on.

It's open source but firewall is paid feature, i highly recommend it if you're on Android.

https://f-droid.org/fr/packages/com.emanuelef.remote_capture...

There is even the possibility to decrypt packet and analyze them although it require root, i did it on another phone and yeah it's similar to what the author found. Every single bit of data, ip adress, since how long the phone is on, the wifi connections, when did I unlock the phone and so on.

Every data taken individually is not important to me but this stream of little data constantly going God knows where is creepy as fuck.
I think you mean Cunningham's Law...
