Additionally, at least in small-medium sized teams, I've seen teams become over reliant on the small number of people who prioritize and respond quickly to code review requests. A benefit of not prioritizing code review as an individual is that it can naturally spread the review responsibility, and understanding of the code, more broadly.
I've seen the transition from a Javascript codebase to a Typescript codebase with all strict checks in place to have a similar step change in dev velocity. The speed of debugging stupid mistakes, confidence in larger changes, and removal of a need for a lot of unit tests that were poor-person's type checking, is really significant. And runtime errors are a lot less weird than they were.
What I see when I open a terminal is this:
The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.
For more details, please visit https://support.apple.com/kb/HT208050.
I believe I switched from the default zsh to the bash that also came with the operating system. I don't think I installed a new bash.
I was just trying to add on to/respond to the question "Will they completely remove bash, rsync, eventually?" . My answer was too short and I didn't actually make it clear what I was saying. I think the answer to the question "Will they completely remove bash, rsync, eventually?" is yes, at least for bash, I think they will remove it. My evidence for thinking they'll remove it is if you switch from the default zsh to the bash that comes with the operating system, they'll kindly ask you to switch back to zsh every time you open the terminal. Yes, you can change the default from nagging you with BASH_SILENCE_DEPRECATION_WARNING, which is great to know.
I'm sure the spinning disks are encrypted by some 3rd party software as well. When my old job did that my laptop's bootup time suddenly went up to 30 minutes.
There were DARPA-funded projects back in 2004 to try to avoid doing it like this, while it was being built. They were funding investigations into assembling the satellite on orbit, e.g. send up the segments one at a time and dock them together on orbit. Those projects were cancelled in W. Bush's second term after he pushed for manned missions again. To this day, I still think in space assembly would have been cheaper and possibly lower risk.
The part I don't follow is that I thought multiplication used the same number of CPU cycles as addition, so I didn't get the the part where one multiplication replaced with many additions was obviously better. Could someone explain that part? I feel I must be fundamentally misunderstanding something.
If you're willing to just believe that there's a derivation that it works, actually implementing a kalman filter is pretty straightforward. The proof is a pain, but you don't have to be able to derive it to use it.
Here's a couple examples of what I experience. I apologize that one is a little gory. This morning I walked past my kid's room and they had a pencil in their hand and were jumping on the bed. I literally saw her falling and getting stabbed in the face. I saw her falling down many different ways, and scrapes and blood. And in real life I ran in and stopped her and everything is fine. But those images are like memories to me that I can still see.
As a less gory example, I do computational geometry and I'm visualizing all of the time. I'm rotating objects around and fitting them into and next to each other in my mind. I'm slicing them, scaling them, projecting them. And yes, I can later draw a picture of or write a textual description of what I imagined.
Edit: Again, I'm not saying that you've missed out on anything in your life. The point is just that this is something people really do experience.
This reminds me of a friend I had who was born with one eye, and would swear up and down that binocular depth perception basically doesn't actually exist. You don't have to feel like you've missed out in life, but you also don't need to act smug about yourself either.
Even if I'm looking directly at a thing, trying to do a still life, I can't draw for crap. Visualization and drawing ability are not the same thing.
One of the unfortunate things that goes along with this, from my experience, is that those area can be absolutely filthy. There was no janitorial staff for the cube farm I was briefly in. Everything had a layer of old dust and grime on it, and we wiped everything with wet wipes. Men In Black it was not.
Except that "for white people" is the default. The minority representation in media is still generally token at best. And, while it may seem like a double standard, when you say something implying that there should be a "x for white people" it sounds like you're saying you're already seeing too much minority representation in media for your comfort or sense of place in society. And if that's the case, know that that means you have some issues to work out on your own.
Netflix was a distribution platform before it became a production company as well. If you have a revue stream from existing content then you have the money to make content. Also, if minorities have content that they want to be seen, they'll potentially have a better shot here because of the focus. So from this website's perspective, there might not be a shortage of content to licence right out of the gate, compared to what they could create themselves. Also, it sounds like they know how to make websites.
They tried to sell my dad some machines. He was in the oil industry. The sale didn't work out. My dad later had a job interview with them. That didn't work out either. Both were probably for the best, but what a different life I would have had if either had gone the other way.
Adapting to the candidate is probably good most of the time, but don't work too hard to make that happen. Computational geometry is on my resume, and interviewers are always trying to show that they know that too by trying to bend their question into that. The exercise very often detours as they've led me way down a wrong path because they're analogy doesn't fit, and all they wanted to know was if I knew about minimum spanning trees or even just heaps.
I'm sure that's true, but I've interviewed there numerous times and I invariably get one or two shockingly arrogant and obnoxious interviewers. The fact that they usually have no idea why I'm being interviewed, and clearly have a lot of other things to do, may be the source of that perception. But it so often feels like "you're already wasting my time, but here's my favorite trick problem that makes me feel smart, man you're a waste of time."
It's gone both ways for me. I had one interview where the interviewer got very mad at me, and another where the interviewer was very impressed and was pleased to learn something. I got an offer from the latter company, and accepted.
My big two after my recent blitz of interviewing candidates are:
1) Don't read/write email or do other web browsing activities during the interview. Even if your eyes are never pointed at the camera, it's easy to recognize eyes that are scanning.
2) Dress like it's an interview. Your whole body. It is so so weird to see people in pajamas or workout clothes during an interview. It is even more bizarre to see a clean dressed person get up to close a door and reveal that they aren't wearing pants.
If you want to get a nice tour of different chocolates every month, I recommend Cococlectic ( https://cococlectic.com/ ). I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but have been receiving craft chocolate from them each month for years.
Yes, like in the post, you will get the ones that taste like tobacco and chalk sometimes, and other times you'll get something divine. It's a fun surprise each time the box arrives.
El Rey is great. I've personally bought several hundred lbs of their chocolate over the years. They seemed to have a serious supply chain issue during 2020 that got me scared, but they have more choices at the moment, which makes me happy.
