As a person who experienced both the symptoms and the treatment in the US I can assure you that it’s better to receive band-aid treatment than nothing at all. Treatments could be—and should be—better, but comparing US to countries where psy

How is audio interface driver/console support on Linux? Would something like UA Apollo work out of the box?

Mentioned in another comment. DAW is an IDE for music production. Calling Prettier extension for VSCode an IDE would be incorrect.

To my knowledge all VST plugins can be used on Linux (via Wine). Is that not the case? Here is a page that describes the process of using a single Wine instance to wrap all VSTs in the system: https://z-uo.medium.com/vst-and

I am sure what you are describing is being tracked at my company. The concern with misaligned incentives I have is that there is a vast gap between conducting a passable interview in terms of engaging with the candidate and actually investi

Agreed. I mostly conduct system design interviews which already have a smaller pool of interviewers at my company. This contribution has been included exactly zero times in the countless review cycles I went through.

Honestly, at this point I stopped making strong conclusions about candidates based on a single interview. I won't recommend to hire but also won't judge their abilities overall. Interviews can be very stressful, candidates overthi

I have the same experience. Interviews are very time consuming (prep 30 min, interview 1h, fill out the feedback form 30m-1h), and having several interviews each week means I spend ~1 day weekly on something that's not going to benef

But that's exactly what it is then: a check mark. I can interview dozens of candidates, and then add a total count to my self review. There is no incentive to do a good job (how would that even be evaluated?..).

Ha, it's like saying there are no gay people in Saudi Arabia. If having psychological issues is extremely stigmatized by the society don't expect the stats to reflect reality in any trustworthy sense.

To play devil's advocate: sounds like a "bona fide articulable suspicion of a crime" doesn't necessarily mean there is a documented reason for the release of records that has been authorized by a judge. Wouldn't tha

AFAIK attacks on sufficiently important private infra is also considered an attack on the state. There is no meaningful difference, other than the scale of the attack and the importance of that infra. The main defining factor in how the sta

The category these supplements were listed under is "Sports Nutrition Endurance & Energy Products" with some legitimate products listed under it. I doubt Amazon would delist the entire category. But also, something tells me th

Since Amazon removed these products already, here is a link to one of the supplements mentioned in the letter: "X Max Triple Shot Energy Honey" ( https://khan-alasal.com/honey-product/3-triple-shot-honey/

I searched for all products mentioned in the letter - they are all gone. Amazon is quick to react to such public letters to pretend that they are a responsible company. Saying that, the search returns hundreds of other supplements in the sa

Adding restricted ingredients to generally available supplements is a known tactic that supplement producers utilize extensively. In the past, this has been a well-known "secret" that bodybuilders basically relied on: buying taint

It's not normal. None of my over 40 friends have the same experience. And in general, I doubt that turning 40 is a clear biological threshold regardless of one's lifestyle, diet, fitness level, etc.

That's the biggest Amazon scam that Amazon itself allows and encourages (indirectly). In my experience, most inexpensive items from unknown brands have transferred reviews.

The price range really varies. But just for the sake of giving an example: Mad Men season 1 is just $4.99 on Apple TV. Some newer shows on Prime can easily cost $4-5 per episode.

I know almost nothing about cars and so assumed LiDAR sensors are just prohibitively expensive for Tesla to install in every car. But then years later I learned that every modern iPhone has a LiDAR camera. Still don't know how to think

I don't think this article limits the definition of architecture exclusively to very broad systems, like designing a new graph DB service. Architecture choices happen at all levels, and true systems architects are seldom involved in th

That's why I preempt my proposed solution by saying that many apartment buildings already have Luxer One installed. For this type of a setup, optimizing package delivery seems like the next logical step. Buildings like that already hav

That's an interesting point. Can't say I agree based on my experience in both small startups and mega-corps. Startups are so chaotic and fast-paced that one usually only needs 1-2 years (if not less!) to see how earlier decisions

My understanding is that they meant actual individual projects within large companies never take this long. So "projects" as in "features" that ICs work on. I agree with that point, I hardly ever get to go back an evalua

In systems design quality attributes are non-functional requirements that are used for the evaluation of the system itself rather than the intended behavior of the feature being implemented. E.g. system extensibility, scalability are qualit
