Leetcode is about learning an algorithm/data structure. Programming in general is about much more than that. Knowing minimax and ring buffers doesn’t help much in knowing whether what your LLM does makes sense. For that you need to work on more open ended questions.
According to Microsoft programmer Raymond Chen on his blog The Old New Thing, Red moon desert was originally intended to be Windows XP's default wallpaper, but was allegedly changed due to some testers feeling it resembled a pair of buttocks, leading to O'Rear's other photo Bliss becoming the default wallpaper. While this wallpaper was temporarily set as the default wallpaper during Whistler, this story does not appear to be true; Bliss had already been selected based on extensive research by design manager Rob Girling and his team, and the Luna visual style shares the same color scheme as the wallpaper. It is more likely the wallpaper was set to default as a decoy; the unleaked Lab06 build 2415 predates build 2423, and shows Bliss set as the wallpaper.
The only people who might plausibly think that were probably also jerking it to late night scrambled skin-e-max in the 90’s when it was basically just hard R.
I’ve seen that background hundreds of times, and it never even occurred to me.
Very telling that you think it’s comparable. An engineering manager doesn’t manage a random bunch of international people, but a smaller group of (company culturally) vetted people.
I unfortunately agree, this reads heavily AI generated. I was not able to follow the reasoning, e.g. management of backward and forward compatibility seems broken.
Always glad to see authors on here. Thanks for your insight!
Since they had to rewrite the build file for their program I also assume that something is missing. Didn’t see any mention of verifying that.
I also really didn’t like their denigrating tone. It totally turns me off trying build2, because it seems they don’t understand the point of separating build stages like environment setup (getting dependencies), configure, native build, cross build, packaging. I am a very happy ninja user instead of a batteries-included solution because it does its one job well and can be used very flexibly. I personally detest cmake, so I use nix + own configure script + ninja.
The blog is also wrong about ninja being unable to call configure, but I intentionally don’t want that (I want the build stages to communicate in one direction for sanity).

That's easy to do if you control the whole pipeline and can integrate all the features together, not so much with the CMake model unfortunately. I think it would be nice if CMake had Ninja integrated as a library, it could lead to some nice optimizations later.
You don’t have insight into German lifestyle, you have insight into that one woman’s family’s lifestyle (and only less than a year, you’re not a family member at that point).
I'm not claiming that I know all of Germany or all Germans, I am just refuting GP's guesses.
Also, she wasn't the only German that I've met and it wasn't the case that I only met native Germans through her personal network. I also worked at Deutsche Telekom and Mercedes Benz. I've had the opportunity to interact with lots of people outside of the work environment.
Out of the last 28 years they have spent only 4 in the opposition. SPD together with CDU are the two major parties shaping Germany. As opposition they also always had a majority veto right.
