I had the same experience. The limiters come off when you go from a big company to a startup, and there are no longer any guard rails. It’s incredibly easy to let the feeling of accomplishment drive you to work more and more. It’s not sustainable, eventually you life will fall apart.

Seems like you would need a pretty hot part of a star to fuse helium into metal

Which is a reflection of morality, of sorts.

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."

That is extreme, I don’t think I would accept installing a browser extension with full access for a job interview. It trips my scam detector too hard.

I guess if I wanted the job badly enough I’d spin up a vm for it.

Basically all the coding interview sites are exactly this: editor, compiler, tester, record and replay every keystroke.

Why hasn’t anyone used them for a CS class? No idea, maybe cost?

And I can’t help but think if they did people would find a way to make the cut and paste look like organic typing…

Each time you have to make a decision, measure.

Maybe they feel it is expected of them and aren’t really interested in the subject matter? I met an engineering student once who told me they hated it but their parents wouldn’t support them for their true passion (the arts). For some I think (given my experience at uni is 2 decades ago) they use it as an excuse to enjoy being young rather than do serious study.

Isn’t this basically triplebyte? I did their process and every company still wanted to do their leetcode interview after.

You can search the history with ctrl-r and then type the search. To make it even better use fzf as well.

* engine brake

Yeah, the pads lasted that long. It was a manual and I did engine break pretty often.

The weren’t allowed to - not even the fair plan was charging sound actuarial rates. Cali put price controls on insurance, making this debacle inevitable.

They never actually had that surplus, it was projected revenue. The projections were wrong - they extrapolated, then planned spending around that. Source: https://calmatters.org/commentary/2023/10/california-budget-...

Or by cooking it well done, which is why you sometimes still hear people say to be careful to cook pork thoroughly.

I’ve only had to change them one time on any car newer than 1990, after ~200k miles/10 years of use. For most people that qualifies as life of the vehicle, but there was plenty of life left.

Part of the lifecycle needs dirt. And hogs in the USA are all raised on concrete, so it is basically nonexistent in pork here.

The only time I’ve ever heard of it was as an option for people who wanted to keep all the shares and avoid the sell to cover.

Phillips is still prevalent in drywall screws due to the low torque required. But you don’t need pilot holes for drywall screws.

search for sparse hash, there are many examples.

In memory constrained environments you just make the underlying array a sparse vector, then it can be mostly empty without using much memory at all.

Someone with the last name Blank told me their family lore was that the (Ellis island era) immigration paperwork person just gave up.

Look at the statistics over time?

Backup camera is also required in the USA, along with the seatbelt chimes.

Even accepting that, the law should be encouraging creative output by individuals and there is justifiable fear that this will be used to bypass protections designed to reward such behavior.

For a more direct counterexample, I can memorize something and type it back out, but if it is copyrighted the law doesn’t make an exception just because it passed through my head.

If the interviewer were better they would instead ask: if no one else on the dev team knows the type system how do you handle that situation?

Which gets at the real risk, maybe valid, that someone super smart who isn’t the best communicator will go and make a bunch of code that no one else in the company can reason about. Maybe you get a really nice explanation of the type system, or they are aware this is an esoteric approach but used it anyway because you said anything goes and it’s cool.

Buying a single copy of a work does not grant you a license to duplicate or distribute that work.

So just buying copies wouldn’t have helped them.

If we are going to afford models like this treatment equivalent to sentient beings in this regard, why not others? In your extrapolation these ai walking among us are property of giant tech companies…

I like telling it as 3 hard things: caches and naming things.
