The author seems to be really proficient in the live coding exercise regardless, and according to the comments is in the top 2% of LeetCode contest takers. There's probably a decent chance that he'd get the intern job regardless.

That’s understandable, I hope they stand their ground and make the studios realise this is no way to conduct business. I can’t imagine the same thing happening in any other industry. Your company asking you to sign away code that you’ve wri

Great question, and I suggest you take a look at SatNOGS! It's a community driven satellite ground station project, where you can offer your own antenna and make use of the antennas of others. At my work we host 4 groundstations and re

They have to be, really, lest their house of cards come crashing down on them. Sam thought they were safe, that they had enough of a moat, but when a bunch of (really great) chinese quant engineers beat them with minimal resources, suddenly

Related: https://nyxspace.com/blog/2025/02/21/nyx-space-and-rust-powe... Hope this one goes differently to my landings in Kerbal Space Program. From the wiki I read that this is a part of the Artemis pro

I think moving to Rust just makes sense for something as critical as spacecraft. We’re doing something similar, as it is by miles ahead of any other options. I’m looking forwards to seeing the landing live.

Do nothing, wait for your competitors to shoot themselves in the foot. It is outstanding how much soft power have both US and Russia lost in this decade. Russia used to be a feared military state, now they cannot take Ukraine in three years

I love the little previews for the email messages, that’s pretty neat. Honestly, I’ve always thought Notion’s design was one of its strongest parts. Then there’s everything else, like not having an offline mode, taking a long time to load

I just love reading DevOps diaries from different companies, especially ones that I've used and had experience with. Thank you for sharing. You mention briefly displaying metrics on office dashboard TV screens, that's a really fun

Celeste is a fantastic game I am still yet to finish. But I do have to give kudos where it's due, it is so well done, so polished, the movement feels great, the story is outstanding, the graphics are beautiful. The soundtrack by Lena R

It is really interesting to look into the problem of software copyright and how you can really struggle trace the ownership and who owns what now. For a video that's (surprisingly) closely related to the topic, see CGP Grey's vide

Let's start off by saying totally clearly, CSAM is terrible and anyone distributing or purchasing it is a horrible person. The harm, trauma this causes to children worldwide is indescribable. That said, what is the actual crime they ar

What a great article! Note that this only exposes the repositories that were public at one point, then made private. While they were public, the contents got indexed and the ever-data-hungry models can still access this indexation. We info

Definitely, since I was a little kid I have been imagining whales swimming in Europa's underground oceans, only waiting for us to drill a hole deep enough to find them. Can anybody who's looked into this topic further tell me why

The output, from what I've seen, was okay? I don't know if it is that much better, and I think LLMs gain a lot by there not being an actual, objective measure by which you can compare two different models. Sure, there are some cod

Depends, but with this news you will probably not be downgrading too much. Brave really does have a bunch of very nice features, I particularly enjoyed using them on my phone to download videos from youtube for online listening. Built-in ad

I don't know how to feel about this. If you as a state actor had a problem with people using rural roads to smuggle drugs instead of a highway, you would probably be in your right to monitor said rural roads, even though they're n

There are multiple ways to look at this, but for example, my middle European country's laws explicitly state that breaking copyright is okay, if the material is used for teaching purposes. Downloading for personal use is also allowed.

I am a huge fan of the idea of Devcontainers and would definitely consider it if I were starting a new project, as not having all team members on the exact same environment can be such a blocker in progress. That said, the points raised i

I really respect the fact that Valve has not continued with several of their titles simply because they could not find the fun in them - new mechanics in Portal, Left 4 Dead or Half Life never really scratched the itch and thus were just si
