You're at liberty to go the Full Bertrand Russell with the rejection of the "wishy washy" all you like; Objective Truth is always going to bring along a Kurt Gödel.

Whether or not you buy off on the notion that Objective Truth paid a visit a couple millenia back and was crucified for explaining that Truth to humanity remains a subjective matter.

It has to remain subjective, lest it tampered with your free will to reject that Objective Truth.

We all get to own our response to that Onjective Truth, free and clear.

One anticipates that this reply will stand rejected as "wishy washy" for having failed to externalize something that does not yield to externalization. All I can say is: best wishes to you, sir.
While I think this view is probably apt in other situations -- and to be clear, I don't know much about the company -- all of the specific techniques mentioned on the candidate's CV and in the article are fairly "garden-variety".

The pagination example seems like a perfectly reasonable thing for both sides to want to talk about, and which becomes relevant at a level of scale much smaller than Google.
Blocklists are used by women quite extensively, to block everything from specific terms to specific harassers and specific communities and topics.
I eat meat, but I don't think there is an actual consistent ethical standard that doesn't rely on religion that justifies the use of animals. The average pig is a lot smarter than the dumbest human, and experiences emotions like a human child does.

I much rather use non-sentient bodies wherever possible.
A few years ago, when US ESTA and visa process started to require that you declare your social network accounts, a lot of people were in a mind like "who cares? I have nothing to hide so I don't see the problem"

On the contrary, as if you under any circumstances should lose your intelligence - I hope not - you would not be considerate a human being anymore. And if there's a market for such, the incentive to give you a - cartoon like - hammer on the head would be there, too.
They are using trade imbalance as a proxy for protectionism.

Is it oversimplified in a way that causes unjust collateral damage? Yes.

Is oversimplifying a good political strategy, though? Maybe.

Imagine the counter factual where every little detail is accounted for, they use some model to differentiate protectionism from natural imbalances, etc. That takes way longer, possibly stretching into years, can still be very error prone, and assuming those factors are taken into account during negotiations (it clearly affects negotiating position if you have a legitimate grievance) the end result of the oversimplify+negotiate approach won’t be that different from the more details oriented academic style approach. Also starting negotiations with some super complicated white paper does not put you in a strong negotiating position against (other) politicians.

Basically check back in 3 months. If the deals aren’t renegotiated by then I will change my tune.
Tbh, before october 7th I wasn't as radicalised as I am now.

It's just kind of pathetic to see westerns claim to be the free-est free people of the whole world, without showing any form of understanding as to why NK is the way it is. This country's apparent paranoia and distaste for anything westerner is totally unrelated to the national trauma imposed by an imperial power coming from abroad, right guys?
Does anyone know how something like this is injected? It has to be close to the heart so it’s probably not going into the bloodstream. And you can’t really inject something precisely into the heart itself while it is pumping, right? And do you just aim by hand or is there some apparatus that does the alignment so you hit a specific location and depth?

I remember up to the early 1990's we had repair shops all over Portugal, we would buy devices for life, and any kind of malfunction would be rescued at one of those repair shops, unless it was really a death sentence for the device.

Now in a throw away society with planned obsolence devices, most of those shops are gone and the repair knowledge gone with them.

Unless goverments fix the planned obsolence culture it is almost impossible to have the repair culture back.

I used to do at-home computer troubleshooting as a part time job when was in college. Most of time it was just opening up the casing, dusting it and reattaching all the parts/reinstalling Windows that did the trick. 90% of time it was just RAM popping out a bit. But in rare cases, it was the components themselves. I used to rely of these shops in the city (Hyderabad, India) that fixed motherboards etc. really cheap and relatively quickly (less than a week most of the time). People that worked there weren't engineers or anything, more like tradesmen. It was amazing to see them work.
It's cargo culting (pun intended).

There's also this project with a very similar concept: https://playtoob.com

I ended up creating my own solution, based on mitmproxy and a bit of JS that gets injected into each new page that loads. The end result looks like YouTube, but with guardrails that redirect toward the approved set of channels. Seeing another take on this idea inspired me to finally publish my code, in case anyone is interested in a DIY approach:

Making the company responsible for the entire lifetime of a product also makes them effectively own the product. Your idea sounds a lot like renting from the producer.
Bitbucket was your desired MercurialHub. They supported Mercurial first. Then they added Git support because people wanted Git. At that point, Bitbucket users could choose between Git and Mercurial. They chose Git, so much so that Bitbucket stopped supporting Mercurial.

Look, I get that you hate Git, but people had the choice of using Mercurial or Git – on the same platform even – and they overwhelmingly chose Git. You claiming that Mercurial would win in a fair fight ignores the fact that that fight did actually happen and Mercurial lost.
This is more or less the advice that I was going to give. I would add on to it by recommending that, if you don't know what to build, go find an open source project with open pull requests and start fixing broken things. Keep track of your submissions and use them to start creating a portfolio of the professional work that you've done this way a gratis.

In addition to doing volunteer work this way, also look for various "bug bounty" situations for accumulating similar "professional micro-experiences" that you can also use to show that you have been crafting and delivering functional code into one or more projects.
We make a niche B2B software for a low-margin sector. For us it's definitely point 1.

We of course fix the serious issues, but we also leave a lot of bugs collecting virtual dust in our tracker.

While I know our customers get annoyed with bugs, they care a lot more about essential features and low price.

Now, we're in the process of incrementally rewriting our 20+ year old software, and code quality has a very high priority now. So hopefully the future will be brighter.

That said, our users are incredibly good at finding weird issues.
I don't know about the design of JVM, but as far as object model and semantics, Java looks a great deal more like Simula than it does like Smalltalk.
The answer was, no.
This is just old school fatherly advice, which doesn't represent today's reality at anywhere, let alone at MIT.

Most profs these days, went to grad school right out of college and never stepped foot in the industry. If they've had any contact within industry it's through some R&D grant with other PhDs. A few are in start-ups which means they only hire interns for $20/hr, and fresh off the boat indians and asians grad students.

Small or local companies don't want and can't pay salary of MIT grads; they've plenty of salt-of-the-earth local engineering school grads to chose from.
> Possibly, the engineers just didn’t know about it when they were asked to write the firmware?

Considering how often I witnessed engineers trying to build something to solve a problem instead of sitting down and researching if someone else did that already, and likely better, I really wouldn’t be surprised if that is the answer to most questions in this thread.
The delay between action and reward is a pretty fundamental problem with RL in general. I don't think they've come up with a really good solution yet.

Of course the delay is much bigger with working a job than most RL games but fundamentally it's the same problem.
The way I see it, Autism is more a kin to color-blindness, while crippling anxiety is na actual illness/disorder that should be addressed with therapy.

And while someone on the autism spectrum is born that way, anxiety is inflicted. Of course, Genetic temperament plays a role in one's predisposition to anxiety, just like with many physiological illnesses.

In a nutshell, Autism is neither an illness or disorder, but merely a "different order", while crippling anxiety is actually a disorder.
Personally I've never found it a problem to just fix things that I see are broken, as a dev, without PM approval, even in very dysfunctional organizations. Sometimes it even goes noticed and people applaud you for it.

In other words: though I acknowledge that the phenomenon described in the article is real, I sometimes feel it's just because developers accept a reality that doesn't need to be accepted.
“Japan has always had deep subcultures around games, cards, and character design — but what’s new is how global social platforms amplify them. It feels like TikTok is acting as a cross-cultural layer over local fandoms. Could this become a driver for new forms of cross-border cultural products?”
If you think the organisation is dysfunctional and the job is not what you want to do and offers no growth then you know the answer: time to look for another job.

One can easily rehearse answers that sound natural. You could start with a partially wrong answer, realize midway and correct it. Easily fakeable. All the “ums”, “let me think for a second”, and even failing to answer 10% of the questions on purpose is easily doable.
Discord has a bug where using the HOME-SHIFT key does move the cursor without selecting the text, when creating a new forum-type post through their desktop and web client. In addition, the HOME and END keys also jump to the start/end of the textbox, instead of the start/end of the line.

They closed the ticket and sent me to their feedback page, where I can request any new feature, where people can then vote. They concluded their rejection with the phrase "anything is possible" with the help of the community.

I created the same ticket 5 years ago, where it was treated exactly the same.

It is so frustrating as a user to have basic functionality broken and repeatedly running into this on a weekly basis, because habits... and then getting told that they don't care about the bug unless thousands of people discover your bug report in their feedback portal and up vote it--as if it were my job to do the prioritizing for them.

It's quite upsetting.

Dory – AI Knowledge Base Powered by Browser History
Dynamic Online Recall for You (DORY) helps you find anything you've seen before online using whatever you remember about it. DORY also builds a cognitive context graph to organize your work into auto-updating workflows and serve them to you in real time based on your browsing context. Early beta testers have found super useful onboarding and training use cases for this feature in particular.

The US is in a weird position though and I don’t think negotiations are affected like you say, for a specific reason.

If everyone were roughly equals in terms of power, then I would agree with you. If Poland treats France like this, it would not end well for Poland.

The trade imbalances are not a result of the US having been out negotiated by other countries in the past, though. That trade policy came from internal corruption, where American corporations influenced politicians to enrich themselves at the expense of national interests.

Now the government is ignoring those particular corporate interests (they are played out by now for the most part anyway), and USA is suddenly negotiating for real again.

USA doesn’t care about trust in this situation because there is a massive power imbalance in its favor.
You raise a few points.

I am not sure what you mean by "people with poor human qualities". I am particularly involved in GT and less in Pharo since many years. GT is based on Pharo, but it comes with its own environment and philosophy to support a goal that is not about Smalltalk. We do encourage you to join and see our community especially if you are interested to learn a different kind of programming with us. I am yet to find people with poor human qualities there.

As for funding, we sustain GT through the work we do at feenk where we solve hard problems in organizations that depend on software systems.

And we do not claim that GT is the best. Only that it's the first to show a different possibility to how systems can be made explainable.
it is very easy to understand if someone is saying useless ai soup or he knows what he is talking about if you are good in your field. At least in software it is.

Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant by "swift".

> I find it quite ludicrous to think their restaurants represent what they eat on daily basis

I have lived with 2 different Japanese family (one younger, one older) and I was referring to the younger one when writing my previous comment. You say that restaurant doesn't represent what they eat, but again this is not my observation; restaurants and prepared meal (bento) are socheap—price-to-purchasing-power compared to Western countries—that many people don't even cook for themselves. So yes, it's absolutely relevant.

> Not sure why Violent crime would be better than non-violent crime for feeding your kids

I never said it was. But hunger definitely makes you more violent and more irrational. I excluded non-violent crimes because people usually exclude those when thinking about a country's safety. There are a lot of scams in Japan, for example.

> They would never hurt a fly.

Most people would never hurt someone. Most people are lawful. But most criminals are not from well-off families and grew up needy. Perhaps there is a causation, perhaps not.

> If I have to throw away my laptop because it broke

Actually you should be able to bring it to one of the multiple 3rd party repair shops of your choice, get it fixed and not have Lenovo involved at all, except maybe by selling you parts at a reasonable price.

Incidentally you should also be able to modify the laptop as you want, or if you lack the skills, pay said 3rd party repair shops to do it for you.
Jetbrains still likes to gaslight you and say you are wrong about bugs or features.

Your presence inspired me to try to look up what the circumflex on "abzû" is supposed to signify. As best I can tell, it's a marker of vowel length.

I wonder how that came to be used. It's a traditional way to distinguish eta and omega in transliteration from Greek, but it's not at all a traditional way to mark long vowels in general.

(I see that wikipedia says this about Akkadian:

> Long vowels are transliterated with a macron (ā, ē, ī, ū) or a circumflex (â, ê, î, û), the latter being used for long vowels arising from the contraction of vowels in hiatus.

But it seems odd for an independent root to contain a contracted double vowel. And the page "Abzu" has the circumflex on the Sumerian transliteration too.)
> Had we moved this candidate forward, I have no doubt that they would have been able to use AI to pass the take home project with flying colors.

Off topic, why have such a take home exercise then?
At the language level...sort of?

Idris is strict, unlike Haskell. As of Idris 2, it also has a substructural type system which tracks how often terms are used, which is kind of Rust-y and can allow for better runtime performance by ensuring that proofs can be erased (IIUC).

But besides just being a language, Haskell is a whole ecosystem. It's not an amazing ecosystem, but it's good enough for serious work. Idris is not and may never be. A fully-supported Dependent Haskell would be huge for dependent types in practice.
It’s important to remember that the “deportations” being discussed here are one way tickets to a foreign slave camp, from which few inmates emerge and which is effectively walled off from the Salvadoran justice system.

Potential life sentences, in other words. For people who are largely not criminals.

String Theorists Say Black Holes Are Multidimensional String 'Supermazes'
1. Many humans don't have an idea of the limits of their competence. It's called the Dunning–Kruger effect.

At this point I suspect that what is happening with China is what the US want to happen.

> The vast majority of North Koreans outside North Korea are not defectors, instead they are controlled state assets.

So, I'm not a fan of North Korea (is anyone?), but this is definitely racist rhetoric. One thing that helps me see whether I'm saying something iffy is by replacing the ethnic group I'm talking about, and replacing it with another. If the resulting statement is either silly, deeply offensive, or obvious scare mongering, typically it means the original statement is worth reconsidering.
Or at least something about the quartz mineral.
Yes unless we talk about kids. They have no life experience, defenses, and are very vulnerable to skilled manipulative attacks. They form various addictive behavioral patterns pretty quickly.

Just look around how many kids are properly addicted to screens in some form. It used to be just passive TV, now its extremely interactive, bombastic, supplanting real social interactions. If you don't see a problem and its long term consequences, child psychologists and good parents (and even well-meaning countries) do.
On one hand, yeah, misrepresenting your experience, even if "AI-assisted," is a red flag, especially when the role clearly requires real, practical knowledge. But on the other hand, this is exactly the kind of outcome we should expect in the age of LLMs: people will use every tool available to bridge gaps, especially when under pressure in a hypercompetitive job market.
