I have a bash script called `kill-chrome-helpers` that kills all Chrome processes without terminating any Chrome windows. It kills extensions too, but whenever that happens Chrome pops up a bubble saying "click here to restore the extension", so usually I just run the script and then click a few times. The script is dead simple:

killall "Google Chrome Helper"

This has the annoying effect of turning every page into a crash symbol, but it's pretty easy to just refresh a whole row of tabs.

I open almost every link in new tabs. It's faster to close a tab and return to the prior tab than it is to go Back, and the back button often doesn't work with dynamic pages. Plus, when replying in various forums, it's much easier to flip between tabs to refer to stuff that was said upthread, especially when you have to go back a page or two.

Neither the back button nor bookmarks retain state sufficiently or have sufficient responsiveness to replace open tabs.
Yeah, people are people I guess.

Even so - I find the stance "You're super easily hurt / offended / etc" (or as the above commenter put it, "ruffled") - "and I'm not, so I need to do what's best for both of us, and talk down to you" - to be distasteful, on multiple levels.

I joined Apple in 1987, about the time they started ditching Pascal in favor of C. C++ (in the form of CFront) was just starting to be a thing.

Apple's Pascal had been extended to the point where there were few true differences between it and C, other than

- strings with busted semantics (size being part of the type being a huge mistake, leading to a proliferation of types like Str255, Str32, Str31, Str64, etc). I should add that C's strings were semantically busted, too, and in more dangerous ways. No way to win :-)

- nested procedures (not terribly useful in practice, IMHO)

- an object syntax, used for Object Pascal and MacApp (a complete, though large and somewhat slow app framework).

- some miscellany, like enums and modules

Apple extended Pascal pretty extensively, adding pointer arithmetic, address-of, variant functions calls, and a bunch of things I've forgotten. I could write some Pascal, then write some C, and squint and they'd look pretty much the same. Most people shrugged and wrote new code C if they were able, and then moved to C++ when CFront became usable.

I have hired many people who worked for Seattle BigCos, and I know many people who have gotten offers from Seattle BigCos trying to lure them away from the Bay Area.

And I’ve chatted with people doing competitive analysis on what offers to make to engineers.

The Bay Area generally has 20-30% higher total comp after the first 2-3 years.

Somewhat amusingly, the headline salaries are pretty similar, which makes people think total comp is similar. It’s all about the bonus and RSUs.

My one nitpick is that I want to be able to just try it in my browser right now. Oh also you really need a target project with something like this. In other words, you need problem you are trying to solve, so that you can know once you've solved it.
I wouldn't call it "more aggressively". The lazy loading is the same, but they fixed the UI code around it.
In the medium term, it seems like there needs to be a federal mandatory public policy exemption to nondisparagement, rendering the agreements unenforceable in cases like these and sanctioning illegitimate attempts to enforce.

In the short term, it would be good if people could organize legal aid for people in our field working under nondisparagement clauses. Some of these clauses may be prima facie difficult to enforce due to language; others may leave room to report companies to legal authorities.

Finally, and I'm a broken record on this: if a significant fraction of engineers at any company organized themselves and demanded reasonable limitations on their nondisparagement clauses, for instance to protect whistleblowing, they would get it. What's a significant fraction? At many companies, it's probably less than 20%.

I hope a lot of tech industry employees are, as we speak, talking with their friendly peers at their companies and starting to think about how to reach out to labor lawyers to start this process. It's not that hard, and, for the time being, federal law protects you extensively in the process of organizing your workplace.
Lisp does way more than that. Far too much to be a plausible EUP design. The work in the Lisp community is mostly about using Lisp to make complicated generic control structures, but none of that is needed for EUP. The thing missing for EUP is a human relevant stdlib and you don't need anything fancy for that. Again literally just lists of strings, function calls, and comparators.
I have 2 tabs open right now. If the number of open tabs gets over 10 I start to actively look for tabs to close.
The devices used in better RVs are a solenoid which combines the batteries but only when the vehicle battery is above a certain voltage, typically set for a mostly full battery with surplus alternator energy available.

This avoids the voltage drop of the diode which confuses the charging situation for the house battery. It is also save the 2-5% power loss and heat dissipation on a diode.

As a bonus, you get a switch to manually engage the solenoid for engine starting when the vehicular battery is weak.
From the article: Employees increasingly “have to give up their constitutional right to speak freely about their experiences if they want to be part of the work force,” said Nancy E.

I don't understand how the second quote is related to the first except in the case of the discrimination settlements.

Maybe it's just washing itself?
I usually have around 400 tabs open across 10 windows. They build up because I have many things that I intend to read, use or reference but I don't want to stash them and forget to read them like with Pocket or normal bookmarks. So I keep them open in a window so that I can return to whatever I was researching or working on some time soon.

Just an example: I'm working on an ML model, I begin by researching prior work. I get down to 100 or 200 related papers in google scholar. I start going through the papers until I find the ones that are closest to what I'm looking for. I leave the tabs of the 10 or so papers that I have found open. Now I have 12 tabs open: 10 related papers, my specific google scholar search and my general google scholar search. As I go through the related papers I will happen upon different ideas, libraries/tools or referenced papers that I want to return to. These tend to build up and you can easily get to 6 or 7 per paper. By the time I finish 4 related papers I could have 40 tabs open. This whole process happened over the course of 30-40 minutes. I also tend to find new keywords to use in google while I'm reading these papers which I then produce more google scholar searches from and repeat this same process over again. Now imagine having done this many times over with various projects you're working on but not necessarily required to finish. That's how you end up with a few thousand tabs in onetab and 400 tabs open in chrome.
I'm the same way. I use bookmarks for places I regularly visit that I will want to have ready access to (things like work related services and what have you).

For just articles or something I'll want to read later, I've started using the Google Inbox extension to save the link as a reminder. From there I can snooze it until I have the time or motivation to actually read it.

We'll, I can think of one obvious problem right off the bat: when you accumulate enough tabs they're no longer discoverable.

Many folks here have offered extensions or workarounds for making finding/searching tabs easier, but to me this is an issue introduced by the UI metaphor, and maybe better solved some other way.

Maybe.

I just observe that tabs seem to be a cumbersome tool for a very legitimate use case, and I gotta think there must be room to innovate.

I also started with Cap'n Proto in my system, but then moved over go gRPC. Reason? There's no RPC support for Java (although there is serialization support). It was early on, so I decided to switch.

Still wondering which one is better, although really, it probably doesn't matter nearly as much as the rest of the code I write. For now I just want it to be easy.

Totally agree that the grpc docs are much better. It took me quite a while to figure out how to just take a message in memory and get it out (all the examples I found are about reading from a file descriptor).

Also agree about the threading model suiting my purposes more, since I don't need any synchronization (I've got reader/writer locks for that).

And? You've just moved the problem, you haven't solved it. How do you guarantee that your source is what you think it is? If you can't trust anything outside your source code, then you can't trust anything outside your source code.

If you can't trust, say, a url or an IP address. Then you can't trust those things to host a source of randomness either. Security is only as strong as the weakest link, if you try to obfuscate a weak-link by surrounding it with impressive looking junk, that doesn't make it stronger.

As someone who has regrettably had to use one of these, I can say I'm happy they exist. They are certainly abused so we had a policy of only using them as part of a legal settlement.

We had someone who became mentally unstable on staff and they mounted a full on campaign against the company online whilst still employed. This included impersonating executives, other employees and key customers on social media and other things meant to damage our image. They got a sum ~30% of their annual salary and we got a non disparagement agreement. They were let go as part of that. 1 month later they were at it again and we were able to get our money back. Right before it bankrupted them...guess what stoped happening. We dropped it without taking a cent of their money (we wouldn't actually do that) Hasn't been a problem.

They can be absused, sure but there are legitimate uses too.
something that converts an excel spreadsheet to code might be pretty useful - since most businesses run on crappy excel spreadsheets, having something that occasionally converts one to code could go a long way in "scaling" business.
I've moved from being very technical (software engineer) to business (strategy and analytics). I still maintain my software development skills and try to keep with what's out there but I have gradually moved from building data warehouses and reporting infrastructure to doing quick analysis to help make business decisions.

A large part of my work involves asking questions, interviewing, exploratory data analysis and developing business strategy.

I'm reminded of a really great interview with Bill Atkinson where he describes (among many other things) how he initially brought Pascal to Apple and the Apple II.

https://youtu.be/6tUWoy1tJkE?t=45m

The Pascal bits are from 45:00 to about 50:00.

...

My manager at the time said, no, we don't want to do this [Pascal],
people are happy with what they got. I overrode him and went to
Jobs, and Jobs said "Well, I'm not convinced. I think our users are
happy with BASIC and assembly language. But you seem passionate
about it. I'll give you one week to prove me otherwise."

I was on an airplane within two hours down to UC San Diego and I
started porting right away.

...

The other thing that happened then is I had to plug in the disk
routines, and their system was pretty big and that little 13-sector
floppy disk didn't have a lot of capacity. Well, Woz had just come up
with a different way of encoding the data on the disk so that we could
get more data for the same disk size, and we needed the 16-sector disk
routines. And so Woz came down, and I was there... I had never bothered
to get a motel because I slept on the bench when I wasn't working. This
is in the computer science lab at UC San Diego. I was busy, I didn't
have time to go sleep.

But Woz came down, and I got to interact with him and it was really fun
because he was working on installing these 16-sector disk driver
routines, and he'd go 'type type type type type' -- and he didn't type
in assembly language and have it assembled. No, he'd type in 6502
machine code. Hex. -- He'd type in hex, and then, you know, watching
him type and he'd go 'type type type' -- pause -- 'type type type type',
and when he finished I asked him what was the pause? And he said
"forward branch, seven instructions, I had to compute the offset before
I continued". So, he didn't back-patch the offset, he actually looked
at what he was going to be typing, knew how many bytes it would take...
he was brilliant.
darktable is also a very nice and capable photo editor.
It looks interesting, but then one would have to define a normalization for the AST - either something like an XML printout of the AST, or a standard formatting for source code (perhaps whitespace-only minification?). It would also pose an issue when presenting code in "dumb" media (eg. a txt file).

"The incident was described by two entrepreneurs who were told about it in the weeks after it occurred but were not authorized to speak about it."

I usually find Reason pretty, well, reasonable.

But I think this article is potentially misleading, if unintentionally.

I do these sorts of evaluations professionally routinely, in exactly these sorts of cases.

The state (at least my state) doesn't take children away because of low cognitive ability. They take them away because there's some danger to the children, and low cognitive ability is found to be a contributing factor that's unlikely to go away.

72 and 66 are not just below average, as the article portrays. It's about 2sd below average.

I've seen exactly these sorts of cases, and they're extremely, extremely sad because the parents love their children and truly want the best for them. But when you see the consequences of not intervening, it's often even more sad.

This may be a case where the state screwed up. That happens, and it seems from the Oregonian story that there's disagreement among social workers about their parenting abilities, so it's possible it's in a very grey area.

Lost in the Reason story and buried in the Oregonian story, though, is that the state has a duty to protect the children's privacy usually. It states that they removed the recent child from the parents' care in the hospital without them even being able to take the child home.

In my experience, that often happens when something serious happens to the child in the hospital (for example, hospital staff witness something very threatening or concerning to them). If there was some doubt, given the previous history of involvement, child protection would be more likely to lean toward acting out of caution.

Critically, though, neither child protection nor the hospital would say a peep about this to the press, to protect the child's privacy. So what it would look like from the outside is that the state just came in and took the child away, and isn't providing any explanation for what triggered the removal.

It's also possible this case isn't really over. Children get taken away for long periods of time and then are returned, as long as there aren't permanent decisions in the court system.

I've seen a lot of these types of scenarios, and the reporting on this seems potentially misleading, even if well intended. Although the impression the press is giving could be accurate, I'd want to see a lot more information before I'd pass judgment.
