Janus is not about being left out of the bargaining unit. It’s about not being forced to pay for collective bargaining that all the workers benefit from. That they all benefit from it is clear when you compare non collectively bargained workplaces with those that are.
My MRI showed a herniated disc and an epidural of steroids briefly helped but I also had an undiagnosed case of Ulcerative Colitis that was actually the real problem (I think). Anyway, the pain is real and profoundly debilitating but, despite occam’s razor, it is possible that a herniated disc is a red herring and the underlying problem is something else. In my case, managing the colitis solved 90% of the pain, etc. If pt and gabapentin and steroids aren’t helping, spur your doctor to consider investigating non-spinal culprits before submitting to the knife.
Hello CS Graduates
Obviously what happened to her is disgusting and terrible. It has no place in this industry or society.

But its remarkable to see this posted to HN. Google’s culture is all sorts of peculiar to me - people quit Amazon all the time, and Im sure many quit for similar abuse as well, but we dont see the letters posted to HN. Maybe its because Amazon is not considered “elite” or exclusive enough now, who knows.

The idea of “bringing your whole self to work” is honestly bizarre. I might be old fashioned but I think the workplace is the worst place to have a culture war. Perhaps its similar to how the culture wars at the Ivies/elite schools receive outsize media coverage compared to less prestigious schools that ultimately focus more on research and education.
I’d love we’re this to happen, but it seems like the trend is to cram everyone in the same space - the ambiguous “network benefit” seems to be trumping economics a lot of the time.

Locking up the machine is a possibility when you disable interrupts. Disabling interrupts with the cli instruction needs the IO privilege level (IOPL) to be at least as high as the protection ring the code is running in. Linux runs userspace code in ring 3, so the IOPL has to be set to 3 with the iopl call first. This requires the CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability, which allows you to do pretty much anything already.
I downvoted for the ridiculous claim that this is by design.

Like, we could have plenty of affordable housing in urban centers for the poor, but we don’t, not because of the financial and political cost, but because we’re worried about those people then having too much time to think about escaping poverty, which we just can’t have. Ergo, to the exurbs with them!

Hard to imagine a dumber argument for why poverty exists.

> the only continent that produces what it doesn't need but imports all that it needs

That's normal trade behavior. You produce things in which you have comparative advantage, then trade them for things that others produce more efficiently.

France produces far more wine than it needs and Japan produces far more cars than it needs because both are great at making those things. Then they trade; resources are used most efficiently, because both are more efficient at producing their specialty; and consumers get the best products in the world. You get more for less. Otherwise you'd have lots of Japanese wine and French cars.

I think the debate about rent control has been sadly twisted and misdirected. I don't think rent control was ever originally about affordable rent. That's just the modern narrative. Affordability is an artifact that happens years later, and as you say it's inconsistent and haphazard.

Rent control is about providing stability. I think 80%+ of home mortgages in the U.S. are fixed-rate. People pay a premium because stability in housing expenditure is extremely important to individuals, couples, and especially families. It provides an anchor point with which to organize their economic life, but mostly I think its human nature to prefer and need that stability. As a practical matter, though, there's no such thing as a 30-year, fixed-rate, residential lease. (Or more similar, a fixed-rate life estate as after paying off a mortgage nobody can kick you out.) It's possible but for historic reasons it's simply uncommon, and because such terms lack the ubiquity of the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, you'd doubtless be paying a huge premium.

Ultimately, providing this stability to renters is a collective action problem. In order to the minimize the cost (and obviously there is a significant cost to property owners that should be fairly internalized by renters) you want a way to quickly channel a large segment of the market into using something like a fixed-rate perpetual lease. Ergo, rent control.

Affordability for low-income renters (or any renter) is a different matter and it's a shame that we've conflated these things. But we live in exceptionally conservative times such that the only way to publicly justify any manner of government regulation--even in liberal cities--is to sell it as a way to improve the lot of the most impoverished. The working- and middle-class have been utterly relegated to the vicissitudes of private markets and we no longer even have a vocabulary to discuss public policies targeting the larger population.
You say that it was a joke. It was a similar situation where a new VP was commenting on code he didn't know anything about but just repeated falsehoods with total conviction. So I put some stuff into a presentation that was clearly funny to people who knew how things worked but the VP took it at face value.
> Janus is not about being left out of the bargaining unit. It’s about not being forced to pay for collective bargaining that all the workers benefit from.

You keep hammering on this claim, except it's clear Janus doesn't believe that he's benefiting from it. It's actually quite easy to find examples - from the very beginning of the labor movement up through today - of labor unions screwing over certain classes of members for political reasons. So it's pretty easy to imagine how Janus would have reason to believe he's being forced to pay for something that has a net negative impact on him.
I gave this some thought. First, the silence was perfect and it was a privilege to witness that moment between you two. As for the thousand words, they were the hundred moves we do not see in a grandmaster draw after a half dozen moves from a well-understood opening and a handshake. John had by implication stood up for homoiconicity as essential. You conceded Python lacked the quality, leaving intact your equivalence argument built in part on other Python features and in part on missing things not mattering. Nothing more was needed.

But that is just my poor reconstruction of the moment. The silence was better.

I think you might be underestimating physicists, or over-estimating yourself... rest assured, modern physics is not a blind cargo-cult.

Is the particle/wave duality idea hindering or helping the further understanding of these processes?

Is that an idea? I thought that it was an observed fact. Some people believed that light was a wave, some other people believed that it was particles so they tried their assumptions and both calculations were correct, as long as you don't mix them. Maybe it makes more difficult to understand reality, but sweeping duality under the rug doesn't seem right.
That’s sometimes true, but I don’t think it must be. The state provides an incredibly valuable service to those exercise that natural right: enforcement and conflict resolution. It makes sense to fund the state to perform this functions, and possibly others.

Go packages can have side effects. For example a global map, background goroutines, shared connection pools, etc. Including multiple versions of the same package would not work for these cases.

Actually this isn't really a go specific thing. If I have a struct defined in a package version 1 that gets an extra field in version 2 how can I possibly reuse that struct between packages.

You wouldn't be able to disable interrupts as non-root. The iopl syscall allows the PoC to use CLI to disable interrupts. See the "sudo" in the NO_INTERRUPTS runs:

$ sudo ./test

I would guess the deadlock is due to a hardware watchdog timer rebooting the system, or some other hardware function that needs to be tended to periodically before it hangs.

It's a smart move for Adobe I believe. I really can't see how the overlap of customer base for AEM / Magento will be, also it will be interesting to see if they start to do more b2b or b2c eCommerce. It is an interesting time in the space, strong CMS adding eCommerce, and strong eCommerce adding CMS. It's highly likely that Salesforce / Commerce Cloud will expand into the CMS space and possibly more consolidation of platforms.

There are some abstract systems like Moltin.com that offer eCommerce APIs
Platforms like BigCommerce.com / VTex.com / Miva.com / Volusion.com are also pretty popular.

Then you have some end to end ones like Coredna.com* that offer B2B, B2C and CMS.

I believe it's actually a "Google profile", although it got a lot of attention around the time of the Plus push.

At that time, Google cajoled and borderline tricked people into filling in their profile (e.g. "dark patterns): Name, a profile photo, etc.

They also made this information publicly accessible.

I recall, for a while, actively working to navigate all the Google UI dedicated to prompting me into filling out or supplying this information. (Particularly, I recall the photo part -- no thanks.)

I recall, also, a time or two following suggestions to navigate to my profile and check what was on it and whether it was public.

This all blurs together in my mind, somewhat, to similar efforts to fight the morphing Facebook UI and its attempts to gather and publicize my profile data. So, all the details are a bit vague in my memory, now.

Note, too, that you can -- or could, at times -- provide information regarding contacts that would appear in your own UI views. You could/can upload a photo for whatever contact, so that their presence in the UI is more "recognizable to you". And who knows.

Do I trust Google segregation/isolation of all these possible inputs to the profile-esque data it has on someone? Not really. Even where this isn't intent or malice, the various moving pieces of all their morphing projects seem rife for lack of knowledge as to effects, slip-ups, and neglect.

P.S. Reading other comments here is causing me increased concern, on multiple fronts. What Docs (or "Drive" -- whatever) may pop up for an address you start to share to. Whether bcc addresses are "hidden" but not removed from the copies going to other recipients. Etc.

If you're in Houston I know plenty of landlords that would love to sign a lease like that with you.
It’s only a transfer of wealth and the time it is enacted. The landlords that owned NYC real estate in 1974 lost the then net present value of the difference between the units they owned under a market rate regime and under the rate stabilization regime. Any landlord that acquired his property since then has lost nothing, and indeed would garner a windfall if rent stabilization were to be abolished.

> Go packages can have side effects. For example a global map, background goroutines, shared connection pools, etc. Including multiple versions of the same package would not work for these cases.

Yes, that's a problem too, but there's a lot of packages which don't have side-effects (I'd expect more of the latter, in fact).

Your point that there needs to be control over packages that should be singletons and/or "public dependencies" is a fair one (it's something that has been considered for cargo for a while, but I'm not sure it's been implemented yet), but allowing multiple versions for packages without side-effects is a strict improvement over the abstraction-breaking "one version globally" for every package.

> If I have a struct defined in a package version 1 that gets an extra field in version 2 how can I possibly reuse that struct between packages.

You can't: they're different types. The underlying assumption of having multiple versions of a package is that imports have unique (name, version), not just name, meaning "a" v1 and "a" v2 are treated as completely different packages, just like "a" v1 and "b" v2.
I totally understand the fear your VP have. It’s much harder(expensive) to find developers who have to manage their own ES or Solr instance instead of just making minimal enhancements to a base product that “works”.
