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—a…

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…

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 …

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 cou…

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. In…

I had a good laugh reading your comment and then found this: https://www.clownr.com/

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…

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 wo…

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 an…

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 …

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 impor…

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 en…

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-prod…

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…

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" t…

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, f…

I am not aware of any lawsuits against distributors/retailers but supplement companies have been successfully sued in the past. One famous case is Yoel Romero vs Gold Star Performa…

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.

Would love to know whether security was a concern at all on those systems (eg industrial espionage, internal program meddling for the purpose of tricking auditors, etc). And if yes…

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 i…

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…
