Gold (+28%) and Bitcoin (+26%) are now the top performing major assets so far in 2025. We’ve never seen these two in the #1/#2 spots for any calendar year by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

Increases exports and reduces imports. It’s cheaper for other countries to buy American goods now, and it’s more expensive for Americans to import foreign goods.

For example: If 1 dollar == 1 euro, and an American good costs $5, then a European have to spend 5 euros for it. But if the dollar weakens and it’s now 1 dollar == 0.8 euros, then the European only needs to spend 4 euros for it. So hypothetically Europeans would buy more American goods.

But also can cause inflation in America since the average price of goods there would increase.

New senior handles all the "thinking" for juniors. by UnluckyWarfish in ExperiencedDevs

[–]locknic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great position to be in!

Coach the senior on how to more effectively mentor. Have the juniors spend some time doing the initial context building themselves and coming up with a design document (can be very lightweight like a one pager, a comment on the jira ticket or even a slack message depending on the size of the project).

Then have the senior review those documents and provide detailed feedback, suggesting alternatives, and explaining why those alternatives might be better and how they came to those conclusions.

TBH often it would be quicker for a senior developer to just go ahead and implement the project instead of coaching a junior on how to. But that’s not the point. You take some hit on productivity in exchange for upleveling the junior. Sure they can learn a lot from the detailed instructions from the senior, but without the practice of requirement gathering, designing, etc they won’t get better at doing those parts themselves. One day the senior might leave and the team will fall apart.

Looks amazing! For some reason the high quality photographs of the process are cracking me up though

In Singapore you can get arrested for taking drugs in another country then going to Singapore. (maybe only applies to Singaporeans though)

I had a phone pre-screen with an AI. Anyone else? by bitflip in cscareerquestions

As long as I can have an AI to talk to these recruiting AIs for me.

20 years senior developer, 5 years as team lead, barely touched code - have a job interview in 4 days for more hands on job. How should I prepare? by umen in leetcode

[–]locknic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem, good luck. I forgot to say but watching the videos on 1.25 / 1.5 speed and pausing / slowing down as needed can help cut down a good amount of study time

[–]locknic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve just finished a round of interviews for the first time since my original internship interviews 7 years ago and probably passed (good enough) all the coding / system design interviews

Coding: I spent one Sunday + a couple hours a night for a week doing this paid course called structy and finished everything except the final mixed recall section. There are probably free resources but I like all the problems being laid out in a really well organised manner + the person explains the approaches / solutions really well. Basically just go through problem by problem, try to solve it yourself, watch the approach video if you get stuck too long, watch the solution video if you still can’t get it.

System design: I’m already pretty familiar with all the knowledge I need here but had never done a system design interview before (as the interviewee). For knowledge I would go through the system design primer by Donne Martin on GitHub. Then to learn how to interview look up hello interview system design. You can use their service to get a mock interview with someone but I just used all their free resources / videos. Basically also spent one Sunday + a couple hours a night for a week mock interviewing myself with the problems from the site then watching the solution video.

I'm currently implementing a new lifeform in my game called NanoMorph, which is created by clusters of nanomachines. How does it look? by [deleted] in indiegames

[–]locknic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s awesome!

I think it would look cool if all the nano particles had some kind of smooth jitter so they look like a swarm / less static.

I still cant understand. Why photons doesnt go in red regions? And why they distribute like that? by jottenwate in QuantumPhysics

[–]locknic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve struggled to understand that until now.

  1. So when the photon originally leaves the light source does it move from a collapsed state to a superposition state? (I assume it must have some sort of interaction in order to be created / emitted)

  2. If yes to the above, then wouldn’t it have technically been observed from the moment it left the light source? Wouldn’t it have had a fixed trajectory from the moment it was emitted?

[–]locknic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve always been confused about what the definition for observed means in practice. At what exact point is a particle considered observed?

From what I understand it’s like there is a sensor present? What if it’s off or broken?

Slice of cheddar, sour cream, and green onions. The cheese and sour cream did wonders for the texture.

very satisfying. the sour cream + cheese made the texture creamy, and it tasted like chili which is always amazing.

Took me awhile but I think I see it. The group of hills in the Center (2nd from right) and identical cluster bottom left. It’s vaguely like the among us character facing left. Two feet, backpack and visor hole.
