Statements like "It doesnt seem plausible", "it doesn't seem likely" aren't the strongest arguments. How things seem to us is based on what we've seen happen before. None of us has witnessed humanity repla

So, you're in one of two situations if you're getting leetcoded vs. let in through the side door at a company (i.e. through your network: the red carpet) 1. You're a newgrad. You have no work history, but you do have a lot of

Again, the IQ being measured isn't "Are you able to invent A* search during the interview?" but rather "Can you memorize and apply these algorithms?". Believe it or not, most humans on earth can study as long as the

Leetcode is just a proxy for an IQ test. That's it. If you can study up and do well on leetcode, then you're smart. People getting hung up on how realistic the questions are, or whether you ever need to implement X data structure

Does apple actually name their research papers "Pro" too? Like is there an iLearning paper out there?

I believe these config heavy tools happen because they are very old, and changing the default behavior breaks things and makes people mad. So they just add a new config option to enable some convenience feature, and then another and another

The ideal state for Apple and their target audience is to make your computer an appliance. They really don't want a wide set of configuration options, that makes it harder to service and harder to test. People are kind of anchored to h

It's really not about the jobs, it's about national security. The US needs the ability to fabricate chips on its own soil where the threat of China invading Taiwan isnt a concern.

This is where the lack of imagination comes in (not you in particular, this is everyone right now). I'm postulating something non-obvious and pretty contentious, but I think compute should always be more valuable than the cost of the p

I disagree, I think the fluke was the era in which we didn't have enough work to do for CPU/GPU to be at 100% 24/7. Think of this like leaving money on the table: compute should always be useful, why aren't those cores p

Wrong / unsafe cert warning means you haven't installed their certs. They're trying to mitm you, but your browser is protecting you. It's almost certainly SNI, it's the plaintext hostname. Servers rely on it being p

Differences between files and REST apis: - files get persisted to disk by default. Usually we don't save every rest result to disk (though obviously, you could) - files tend not to be processed at request time, but rather the directory

It's the other ubiquitously installed cross-platform GUI toolkit other than the web. Additionally, it has a hacker aesthetic. The styling is aggressively not separated from the content, and the styling knobs are pretty limited, so tui

Since this article uses that fluffy "tell a story" writing style, here's the facts in the article stripped out: 1. Air conditioning consumes 10% of global energy and 20% of energy used in buildings. 2. Demand for cooling is

This is interesting, because at 47 people they're in transitional scaling. Like they've had to solve "too many teams for the CTO to manage directly" but not "too many teams to align effectively". At 15 strong s

That's a great story of sticking through a really tough situation and figuring out how to make it work. Honestly most of these stories end with "it sucked and then I quit". Which, fair, but not as interesting

How is a cryptocurrency company involved? I don't see that anywhere, this is the Haskell foundation's site. Maybe I missed it?

From people I've known who've worked at Apple, it's an uphill battle to get approval to contribute to open source there. Somebody likely fought pretty hard to be able to do this

In case anyone was confused, this has nothing to do with Hashicorp / Terraform, it's a crypto company.

If you're exerting willpower to avoid the candy bowl on your desk, you're actively engaging in an activity that occupies some amount of your thoughts and attention. Simply not having it there is strictly better. I think you'r

I would say the best thing you can do is "making nuclear and solar an issue with your local politics and then voting for it" and then also trying to reduce your energy consumption

Sometimes someone just points out the obvious, and it's obviously a good solution. I'm happy to never use authn or authz again, good riddance.

As a society, it makes more sense to figure out how to generate more clean energy (rather than to try to reduce our energy usage). But as an individual who wants to do something, and in principle has an incentive to reduce their energy bill

Couple points: Strong companies usually aren't killed in this way. They are making everyone money and their share price is too high to allow activists to get a controlling interest. "Regulations are lobbied to the ground" is

The portals in prey were cool but, definitely the games Portal and Portal 2 are places you could see it elsewhere. Also in portal you can actually choose where the portals are, whereas Prey's portals were fixed in place
