If you give notice, you're saying "I'm at the end of my rope, I'm leaving".

If you go to management and say "I've been struggling with X, Y and Z can you help me?" then you're signaling that you trust the company to help you, wether that's workload, salary, etc.

Management that counter offer after giving notice is 9/10 trying to keep you around long enough to find a better replacement knowing that you'll leave again in the near future, or they'll boot you when the replacement is up to speed.

One aspect is racism and xenophobia. Remember that Levittown was a whites-only suburb.

Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crabgrass_Frontier : Jackson examined the New Deal's contributions to public housing and concludes that "the result, if not the intent, of the public housing program of the United States was to segregate the races, to concentrate the disadvantaged in inner cities, and to reinforce the image of suburbia as a place of refuge for the problems of race, crime, and poverty."

The first essay in the series links to other references like http://web.mit.edu/ebj/www/doc/JAPAv61n1.pdf which describe some of the reasons for, for example, car-oriented roads and the reason for building cul-de-sacs[1]. (In short: it was cheaper.)

The 1950s urban planning policy was based on single-use zones, magnified by its incorporation into federal standards. "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" is the classic critique of that approach.

Exactly why management shouldn't counter offer, the employee already left once and likely will again in the near future.

I feel a little sorry for the employee themselves. I'm sure most of them know that what they do is annoying, and would choose another option for work if they could.

On the other hand, my phones are all on the do-not-call list, and if they don't immediately hang up when I tell them, then I might decide to waste some of their time.
I think you have to understand that particular company to understand why he would do that. I've known more than one person who worked for them.

I agree but only when the "attack" is within civil bounds, which the original blog post crossed(). Otherwise you create a situation where people can attack people while hiding behind the claim they are attacking idea.

I believe the original post that Rich Hickey is responding to was more a misguided attempt at humor and being provocative than an actual serious attack.
To rephrase again... regarding patents, assuming you don't first sue RedHat or Facebook, then:

RedHat won't sue you over your FOSS project that infringes any of RedHat patents, but your proprietary software is fair game.

Facebook won't sue you for infringement caused by using one of their libraries in your software (FOSS or not), but your independent project (FOSS or not) that infringes any Facebook patent is fair game.

Get hooked at young ages, and their tastes develop around the overly sweet/salty foods. Thus becoming adults still addicted to them. Especially with marketing to young children(Animals, Colorful packaging, etc).

Combined with the both parents working, 'busier' modern lifestyle lots of families don't have time to cook 'real' food or dinners. So quick and easy food with low nutritional value is substituted.

True, but I think the context here is people buying one (or a very small number) of single family homes as an "investment."

My point is that to "invest" that way in a high cost area is not the smartest move. It's better to buy conservative dividend paying stocks. But if one must "invest" in property it's better to buy 10 for $200k than 1 for $1M. I also didn't mention risk mitigation: the risk of loss on the former is lower.
Binary Search: Beyond Arrays
They are not. Multiple objects can map to the same hash key due to collision. Just because a hashtable containing the hash key of an object does not mean the object has been seen before. An object's hash key not contained in the hashtable definitely assures that the object has not been seen before.
It depends on why you were considering leaving.

If the reason is something that money could solve, then I always encourage the company to offer more.

An example of this might be "I wasn't looking, still don't feel like I am. But company X asked me to look at a role, and I felt I shouldn't just ignore and it turns out they're offering $ and whilst I don't really want that role I would be a fool to decline it out of hand as that difference helps achieve <insert life goal>.".

In that case... if the company can do it, do it.

But if it's more "I went looking for something else and I hate this job, and this other stuff winds me up, but if you gave me all this extra money I'd suffer it a while longer"... then the company should wish you well and if they understand fully how toxic you now are to the team would let you leave that same day.

It depends. It always depends.
This only works if you consider their time more valuable than your own.

The only thing. They should try to be more like other top-tier companies, ones that don't have delays- like Apple[1].

Yeah well the government built the rails, the roads, the internet and put a man on the moon. The government beats private industry on overhead and cost. The government does just fine.

People should really read VGs special, which covers things like:

* How VG found the IP of the Tor Hidden Server, and discovered that it was being run by Australian police.

* Why Australian police got to run the site, despite having no direct connection to it, due to how their laws allow the police to act in ways that are criminal elsewhere (basically digital black sites).

* How the forum had a policy that all posts from the admin had to include rape images, as an attempt at preventing police from honeypoting the site.

* The ethics of the police running a CP forum, including police posting CP themselves.

Those cases were probably quite common. From wikipedia article about Glenn Gould, the great Canadian pianist:

Many of those people probably _are_ overweight. If your bmi is greater than 25 and you’re not weightlifting (and eating to support that), you’re almost certainly overweight.

Many people who are overweight are using the love your body campaigns for justification of their weight, when they are actually overweight.

This is called the contrapositive of your statement. It's logically guaranteed.

No one is claiming that "if the hash matches the object must be there". They're saying "if the object is there, the hash will match". This is logically equivalent to saying "if the hash does not match, the object is not there".

Email seems to be an analogy for communication or perceiving information, or at least a predecessor of more fast-paced forms of that.

Could it be these new forms are so efficient and fast-paced, they overload our brain? Before the TV (which had limitations at start as well), there was telephone and radio. Both were limited. Telephone was expensive (monopoly yada yada), and radio informative (before the ~60s).

What Knuth did is enforce snail mail. This creates an artificial barrier, increasing signal to noise ratio.
GP is right; you need to be careful about how you read it.

You didn't actually read what he wrote but "followed the Damore case" which means you read what others wrote about him. That's extremely ignorant. I have no respect for people like you who get their opinion served by others. And that's something I can confidently say from your replies.
My takeaway is treat people well, appreciate the community you choose to participate in, spend reflecting on your role within it and whether it's a good fit for you any longer, and recognize that if it isn't, that it's okay to move on. But again, treat people well.
Maybe, but I don't see why better days modeling should be more valid than better abstraction. I'm not even convinced ADTs let you model you're data better than Go's interfaces; they're just safer and more convenient (and maybe more performant depending on implementation). Also, the designers have been famously unclear about their stance on generics. They certainly seem reluctant to add them, but the a good chunk of the community wants them badly and the evidence that they're useful is (perhaps unsurprisingly) mounting. The language maintainers have also been unclear about how useful generics must be to merit inclusion in the language, making it seem like they don't really intend to add generics, but they're just entertaining a conversation about generics to parry accusations that they aren't listening to their community.

It's not "bad," it's the paradoxical truth. Sort of how people say, limit sodium intake to prevent high blood pressure. When all the studies say it's ok to eat as much sodium as you want, as long as you're healthy. But if you have high blood pressure or compromised kidneys, you should limit it.

"If the item is in the set, the Bloom filter is guaranteed to report that it is in the set." This statement while correct is not useful since the query is against the Bloom filter, not the set. The Bloom filter reporting the object's hash key is in the filter does NOT mean the object is in the set. Multiple objects can have the same hashkey. A check of the hashkey on the Bloom filter just means ONE of these objects is in the set. The existence of a hashkey in the Bloom filter does not give much useful information.

Really? It seemed very earnest--jerkish, but earnest--to me.
it’s not their first car and with a company that claims to be worth more than most of other car producers the inability to build and run a production line/process looks just ridiculous.

This is a source of major confusion. Ultimately, it boils down to how one identifies him- or herself or, alternatively, how one is identified by others. Jews in USSR were officially considered an ethnicity like any other, based on blood. The Judaism as a religion was suppressed under the Communist rule. But even before that, there was a lot of assimilation and secularization going on. Ultimately, in the 1970's there were very little Judaism practitioners left.

The word "Jew" ("Yevrey") in Russian usually refers to the ethnicity. They use a different word ("Iudjey") when they want to describe someone as a Judaism practitioner.

Hey anon6412, so this was my first Kotlin project, and I don't really know much at all on the ecosystem. I could check out kotlinc and write up something on how to build with it—I imagine it's just adding ./lib to the classpath, though I'm not sure. There's no package structure to the source.

You can get a bit closer to native feel with JavaFX. It's still not there but it at least the default Moderna theme doesn't rock the boat like Swing does.

Thankfully JavaFX is pretty easy to customise, it's roughly writing CSS, and there's a few high quality themes out there. Take a look at JFoeniX[0] for example for a material design inspired look.

Maybe it has gotten better in the last year or so, but I’ve been extremely disappointed in a) the scope of semantics divergence between Clojure and clojurescript, and b) the performance of clojurescript for anything larger than toy examples. After reading a blog post about scalajs[0], I came away pretty convinced that battle would be uphill. It’s just too hard to replicate one dynamic language’s semantics in another dynamic language without embedding huge and slow runtimes along with it.

All companies have delays. Especially those inventing things nobody did before them.

And some companies have production capacity issues. Especially those experiencing superhigh demand on their products.

Tesla got 0.5mln preorders. With approx 2-3 years of waiting time, people had to pay 1000 USD upfront, out of their pockets. And they did.

Tesla is seeing an extreme demand for their high-priced product. Every entrepreneur and enterprise would love to be in Musk's shoes. Given all that, delayed deliveries and shaking liquidity should be considered only "logistics" issues, not "will he fail?" discussions.

> The second situation is they're hemorrhaging staff, and will counter everyone

That's probably how it happened to me. I gave my notice, and people looked worried and had hushed conversations. A couple of hours later, managers from other teams were offering me better roles, but I turned them down, because the reason I was leaving was that I didn't like the way the company had treated me up to that point.

The problem with companies that act like that is that if they believed I deserved a better position, the time to act was when I had made it known I was unhappy, not when I'd already made the decision to leave. I'd already applied for internal promotion a couple of months before, and they could have acted then instead of just never getting back to me.

I don't know what problems you were having, but the performance has been extraordinary for the enterprise app that I work on (now 3 years old). In fact, the product would not even exist without the tools clojurescript brought to the table.

I don't know what you mean when you say the semantics are different between the two versions of the language, they really have the same overall design and I feel like I'm working in the same language when I switch between them.
