FYI you can do cut in Mac. Do Cmd-C to copy and the Cmd-Option-V to cut-paste. For whatever reason, Windows has cut attached to selecting the file, but Mac has it attached to pasting the file.


To me attaching it to source file actually makes sense. In either scenario paste results in the same thing at the destination, it is only the behaviour of the source that changes.

(Sure, under the hood nothing different happens at the beginning, but semantically I think Windows makes sense here)


> For whatever reason, Windows has cut attached to selecting the file

That is the universal way copy/cut&paste work, everywhere outside the Mac Finder.


Everywhere being windows and linux file managers that copied windows?


And "real life" cutting and pasting that the metaphor was based on (scrapbooking, ransom notes, etc...)


Even on Mac OS cut works like Windows, except in Finder.


On text where it makes sense.


wow I did not realize mac had that. As an original mac user cutting a file always seemed like a terrible idea when I saw the option on windows. What if you cut it but then then get interrupted before pasting? File gone! The mac way seems safer.


Why is a judge asking a witness questions? Isn't that normally either the prosecutor or defense counsels' job?


The Federal Rules of Evidence permit a judge to question witnesses in addition to the parties. See Rule 614 linked below. And I think you mean plaintiff. A prosecutor generally refers to a lawyer representing the government in a criminal prosecution. This case is dispute between private parties. https://www.rulesofevidence.org/article-vi/rule-614/


To be clear, Linux kernel patches from good UMN researchers and students are rare. We have plenty of great people at the University of Minnesota, they just don't work on the Linux kernel.

It's justifiable and natural for our name to be dragged in the mud here, but as a run of the mill software engineer who graduated from UMN, I hope our reputation isn't soured too much.


Sure, I hope it was clear from my original comment I only question whether the UMN contributors to the kernel are acting in good faith. I have identified other questionable patches personally, out of curiosity. Naturally I tend to attribute them to ignorance rather than malice... except, that bad actors intentionally pushing bad patches to an OSS project will inevitably rely on people assuming ignorance rather than malice. This has been well-understood for decades.


Why would Jupiter give off radiation?


A very strong magnetic field and a spinning planet interacting with volcanic gases from one of the moons makes a particle accelerator in orbit of the planet.



Im not super knowledgeable on it but from what I understand it is a combination of solar winds, Jupiter's magnetosphere, and and Io's volcanoes blowing tons of shit into space, all intersecting together and blasting protons out.


You could find the answer to this question with a 20 second web search.

It's more fun to have a conversation with someone though, you can have a more nuanced discussion. You shouldn't assume people are just being lazy, sometimes they just want to engage with the community.


This is a community of learners. No question is stupid. Don't assume laziness. By taking this attitude as a default, you stifle the curiosity of others. Healthy discussion shouldn't be discouraged.


Could you name it please? Thanks


Late reply if you see this.

1. Dong Ting Chun is really good.

2. Liuyishou Hotpot.

3. Núodle has some good dishes.


Could you clarify what you mean by "don't abstract idioms?"


One example (taken from the real world):

   addr = (addr + PAGESIZE - 1) & ~PAGESIZE;
contrast with

   addr = P2ALIGN(addr);
The former is idiomatic and immediately readable. For the latter I have to go lookup the definition of P2ALIGN (and make sure I got the one actually used as there may be multiple!), check that it does what I expect, and memorize it.

The value of abstracting the idiom is debatable. If it _is_ used sufficiently often, then it might be worthwhile, but often it isn't.


Up to the team. I've "interviewed" for 4 internal transfers there, and I've had:

- Three 1hr interviews, coding/system design/behavioral

- Portfolio review

- Talk to senior engineers on the team for a couple hours

- None (I had people on the team vouch for me)

EDIT: This is about Amazon, in retail and AWS.


He got degrees in computer science and electrical engineering from Princeton. I have no idea how competent he is, but I think you can assume at least equal to the average college grad SDE.


In 2006 absolutely. Today, almost certainly not.


I don't think you would need to track each container individually (as another commenter said, consumers will probably keep an extra of each item for buffer). The subscription/ordering system knows when you get a new instance of each item, so it already has all the data without tracking containers.


Even worse, at some big companies, recruiters will ignore direct referrals and ask you to submit the resume internally through their req system. But then resumes get lost anyway.

Good recruiters accept internal referrals directly.
