One comment from the 0-RTT section concerns me a bit:

>This is a big deal, and once TLS 1.3 is widely deployed, the encrypted web is sure to feel much snappier than before.

(If I understand correctly, "This" above refers to 0-RTT.)

Are web clients (such as web browsers, and agents like Cloudflare) using 0-RTT? I thought that 0-RTT was dangerous to use unless you were absolutely sure that your use case would be immune to reply attacks.

In a place like Cloudflare, I could see 0-RTT being acceptable, because the admin configuring Cloudflare for their site would know (and could specify) which paths (like "/") would be safe to use with 0-RTT. But I did not think web browsers could make such an assumption.
That's a well and truly awful generalization. It's perfectly alright to be in someone's presence without direct interaction. You can read a book or watch tv with a loved one, for instance. That doesn't in any way mean you don't find said loved one 'interesting'. There is more to 'loneliness' and its antithesis than talking to someone.

Saying not talking to a coworker over lunch is rude seems harsh and rude.

> Companies have no control over your 401K. They can’t “take money” out of your 401K account.

They control who your 401k trustee is and therefore the range of investment products available to you. Companies get kickbacks from their 401k trustees and the difference comes from fees charged to you from the investment products you buy. Obviously the company with the higher fees can pay the most in kickbacks.

But its all very transparent you see. The inflated fees are clearly marked in the prospectus you didn't read, and if you don't like them you can get a job somewhere else. All very above board.
> One of my classmates negotiated hard for that same job, and while he got more money, he left a bad taste in people

Care to elaborate what "negotiating hard" means?

I've been on both sides of the hiring process multiple times. Never seen a candidate get any serious downside from negotiating.

In fact, there were a couple of cases I wish they did! The worst was when you find a good candidate, give them what seems like a competitive offer, then they disappear, and you learn after a couple of months they preferred my position, but got better pay elsewhere, where the difference is definitely small enough that we would cover it. If only the candidate wasn't so polite!

Recently there's also a trend of recruiters encouraging candidates to negotiate counter-offers, which in my eyes is efficient.

> He has been pursuing me to accept my original offer for the past 2 months and I have been lukewarm because I got turned off.

Clearly his mistake was negotiating with no leverage.

That said, I'll turn the table here: if I got an offer for a senior position, and a polite attempt to negotiate was met with immediate rescission, I'd assume the weren't quite so interested in the first place.
I've always found it amusing how ham-fisted employers' tactics are when dealing with talented engineers. They know you're not stupid, but they try to swindle you anyway, knowing the only way you fall for it is if you have serious self-esteem or assertiveness issues.

That's why I tell every honest engineer I know how much I make and how the game works. It's disgusting.
I have no problem giving a number, but I know how much I'm worth. I really don't want to get paid more or less.

Not sure I follow. Selectors don't need redux. I use them everywhere.

https://github.com/reduxjs/reselect

> Just because you render a bunch of wrapper components (one for each HOC)?

Efficient rendering would involve >not< re-rendering the child on every prop render, but only when the relevant props have changed. Connect does a shallow comparison, so all the props need to be immutable for it to work.

You can use immutablejs to make your object props immutable, but this gets messy fast. I have found it easier to use selectors, and have changes land when an actual change happens, rather than checking for them or organizing your data to facilitate change detection (rather than organizing your data to make it easier to think about).

If you tell them how much you previously made, and it was a lot, is there a good way to prove you're telling the truth?

Or should you not want to work for them if they don't believe you (and they shouldn't hire you if they don't believe you)?

Is it acceptable to offer a copy of previous job offers or contracts to document salary history, sign-up bonuses and relocation plans, or would that be weird?
Under the NHS most patients pay a "prescription charge" which is intended to encourage patients not to seek prescription meds when they needn't do anything. (Several big categories like pregnant women are exempt from charges, and if you use lots of medicine you can "prepay" a fixed fee of about £100 each year to stop getting charged regardless)

The charge is more than some cheap OTC medicine you might get prescribed, e.g. hay fever tablets are pennies per box and the charge is almost £10. But pharmacists are required to tell you if you could just buy it yourself for less - they collect the charge so they have the opportunity to point this out whereas your doctor needn't know if you pay or not.

Logically the charge must also be bigger than the price for some of the cheapest prescription-only medicine and there's no way to avoid paying extra in the UK as far as I know in this case.
So I was wrong again. ;-) Just checked the package.json, but it's a static JS dependency that's not transpiled using Webpack.

It sounds very... Odd? Basically they asked questionnaires to two totally unrelated groups (people who took DMT; and people who had NDEs in the past) and then did some ANOVA magic in SPSS and decided that they were related because people score similarly on a quiz? I'm a bit confused by how reliable this method would be. Also the sample size < 20 seems questionable to me.

But this is just me with very little statistics experience so I am probably wrong in all these thoughts. And there's probably someone way more knowledgeable who can give a better opinion about the research methods and results

> What happens if the delta between you and the hiring company isn't just a few thousand, but multiple tens of thousands? Will negotiating ever bridge that gap? More often than not it will never happen, and everyone has wasted their time...yours especially.

This has happened to me on a few occasions. The bottom line is that there's a wide range of a) what companies are able to pay and b) what people will work for. The end result is that without any malfeasance by either party, there are vacancies and candidates that are hopelessly mismatched with each other in terms of salary even though they are a match in terms of job description. I've had to cut a few conversations short as they were – not entirely unreasonably – trying to hire at ~50% of what I was already earning at the time. If I waited until the end of the interview process before discussing salary ranges, I'd be wasting an awful lot of my time and theirs.

By all means, get them to blink first if you want. But unless you want to waste a lot of time, don't wait until the last minute before discussing salary.
To emphasize: n=1, so I don't want to overgeneralize my experience, nor would I overgeneralize the OP's experience.

I had told him in the very beginning that my strategy is to hire people at a reasonable, but not out-of-the-world pay, and move them up fast if they prove their worth, and try hard to keep them for the long term (which I can only do if I am paying well, because the sector I am in is hot and our people do get a lot of recruiter calls).

The reason I do this is I want to send a clear signal to the people with me long term that I put their interests first, and I won't chase after the new-new-candidate with the best offers. This message is quite well known in the company, and when people have done their fact-checks on this, they know it to to be true: indeed, our long term people get the best pay.

After hearing all this, and after indicating he really wanted to work for me, he proceeded to negotiate hard, and at that point, I wasn't comfortable with him anymore. As I said, he is still chasing me (he has a job, but wants this job more) but I felt he revealed an aspect of himself that I am afraid may create a mis-fit between us - and this is a highly-paid executive management position.
I've had more near misses with cyclists than with cars in Toronto. While I'm a huge fan of tolling the QEW to encourage more transit - Toronto roads are already pretty hostile to vehicles. Driving downtown is a high stress activity, and I don't see how increasing that even more will lead to fewer road deaths.

Increases in GO service are having an impact, we need to double down there and add congestion tolls to make it even more attractive.
Toronto was designed for cars, not Canada's cities. Toronto just happens to be one of them.
The US invaded and seized Guantanamo Bay in 1898. What was the cause for that?

It's a standard American imperial idea. The US seizure and continual occupation of Guantanamo Bay is "legal". Cubans reclaiming what Americans stole in other parts of Cuba is "illegal".

It's quite a joke. The US invading and seizing sugar plantations from 1898 to 1959 is legal, the American thieves being driven out is "illegal" and "without any compensation".

This sort of imperial hubris is why Arabian patriots have been flying planes into the Pentagon.

Always seems quite a stretch. China didn't first invade Taiwan until 1700 or thereabouts. They've been outside China for the last 120 years or so. China even formally ceded the territory to Japan in 1896 after the first China-Japan war.

Of course what should matter is what the people of Taiwan want. Will the West provide enough response if it were needed? Sadly I suspect not.

Something is very wrong with the whole medical insurance system in the US. Having recently been exposed to it, I keep discovering new surprises and being shocked regularly.

Almost all Taiwanese citizens are descendants of people who migrated from the mainland.
Note that Taiwan became an island only about 10000 years ago, when the sea levels rose.
Taiwan was joined to the mainland before.

In the 17th century various European powers (Spain, Portugal, Dutch) sought to dominate Taiwan, but were eventually expelled,
when
the Qing dynasty (the last imperial dynasty of China) annexed Taiwan in 1683. That rule ended with the Qing's defeat in First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895) [1]. Taiwan was ceded to Japan on 17 April 1895.

> once the binary is built

My view is that if it can't be built from scratch in a cleanroom environment -- ie, in CI or a buildpacks stager -- it can't be built. This goes for container images too.

The amount of "works on my machine" and "where's Gerald? this module only builds on his laptop" I saw as a consultant was depressing.

Speaking of containers, though: they solved the contending-interpreters problem quite handily. Cloud Foundry has used containerisation since before Docker existed and it really shines for buildpack usage.

We started with Heroku's buildpacks, which had to deal with the nightmare of a pre-container world and showed all the pain of it. There was a great deal of stuff we just didn't have to care about and we later rewrote the bulk of the buildpacks to jettison all the stuff we didn't need.

It's all come full circle: Heroku now use containerisation and both Heroku and Cloud Foundry will soon be adopting jointly-developed buildpacks-lifecycle code.
> I recently withdrew an offer to a VP candidate because he negotiated too much (without being a jerk). He probably took advice from an article like this, and he wanted a) higher pay b) more vacation time c) special dispensation for items involving pay and time whose effect is even more pay.

Ive never had a NDE, but I have had DMT. Reality itself pales in comparison to how "real" and vivid the experience was.

Unlike other hallucinogens which apply a "filter" to the senses, DMT was like a wormhole to another dimension.

You're assuming that if you don't give the first number, the recruiter will give you a number that hints at "their_top". Realistically though, recruiters are very good at figuring out what your ballpark is, based on your experience/qualifications/market-conditions, and will toss out a number that's in the lower end of this ballpark, regardless of "their_top". At that point, not only do you not have any clue about their_top, but you've also allowed the negotiation to become anchored at a lowball number.

That drug was going generic two years ago, and it took the generic manufactures awhile to ramp up. The generic drug cost more than the name brand version for a few months and was constrained — the pharmacies my my area had difficulty doing a 90 day fill.

It ultimately didn’t drop to super cheap status until they were approved to sell it in a normal pill bottle — previously it was sold in blister pack form.
