The only time when interviewing someone I ask about personal hobbies etc is when the decision was already made. At that point it was simply to get a better sense of the person I will be working with.

When I've been interviewed it was telling when the person didn't realize I was interviewing them also.
1. I'm talking about professionalized in the sense of being an occupation that generally requires college credentials and specialized knowledge to participate in. Not always the case for software engineers, but often. Professionalized in the sense of being an occupation of the PMC.

2. There are probably many reasons for high turnover (especially among startups), but you kind of allude to a salient one (for this conversation) yourself. Leaving a job is a chance to get hired in a place where you'll learn something new, so if employers need a reason to train their people, that seems like a fairly good one for how it might benefit retention and experience of their employees. Ultimately I don't really care how it benefits employers, but software engineers tend to have a lot of leverage over who they hire so I see it as something we should do for our own sake
I think this is more the author's remaining twitter habit dying hard than a hacker news related habit. I like hacker news because it gives decent posts for focused reading rather than the twitter no-focus skimming or the reddit meme fest.
PreCheck can be given two separate ways - one is via the the public program (what you do when you enroll) the other is via the airline basically saying "yeah, this person is frequent enough that we don't think they are a problem" or they are traveling with someone who doesn't trip any of our flags.

There is a cost that the airline takes (I've never heard exactly what it is) for each person they refer to the TSA as pre-cleared, which I assume means there is a separate lookup against TSA lists, etc. It's at the discretion of the carrier. United does it all the time, Delta somewhat, and Southwest almost never in my experience.

So:
a) Airlines can suggest pre-clearing you.
b) There is some sort of match that the TSA also does.
c) But just spend the money and get the full list.

Almost all security is doctrine and kabuki theater. 9/11's big problem wasn't security screening, it was that the doctrine of hijackings at that point was that the threat was hostages and negotiation, and therefore the best thing to do was to comply with hijacker demands.
Black Hat Conference Grapples with Gender Discrimination and Sexual Assault
You certainly could make a compositor with SDL, but I don't think it would be any better than wlroots. We also provide an abstraction of the underlying window system, the same code which runs your compositor in an X11 window can also run it on KMS+DRM without any changes (the compositor in this very link can run on X11, Wayland, and DRM+KMS with no changes). It also gives you a number of useful things like an implementation[0] of xdg-shell, which alone can be a couple thousand lines long. Also, negotiating graphics resources with clients is going to require you to get into the gritty OpenGL details if you intend to be efficient (and some clients don't even support shared memory, so it's also a matter of compatability). You'd also need to implement the seat to have input support, which can be another ~1,000 lines of code. GTK+ requires the data device to be implemented as well - over 1,000 more lines of code in wlroots[2].

That being said, a simple compositor which only supports a subset of this stuff, uses SDL for rendering, doesn't support a lot of important features (like GTK+ dropdowns and context menus), and directly implements the Wayland protocols, could probably be done in one or two thoundand lines of code. In order to be equivalent in functionality to the TinyWL compositor I posted today, it would probably need to approach 5-6,000 lines.
I expect they correlated logs from several sources, maybe the guy connected via ssh to Apple's servers at the same time his mac accessed software update or something. If he sent all traffic down the VPN it'd show the same IP address at Apple.
"People need to have their battle rifles and everything ready at their bedsides" is not a figure of speech I've ever heard. Is Milo Yiannopoulos's quote "I can't wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists down on sight" a similar figure of speech?

Excusing extreme calls-to-action after the fact as "figures of speech" gives license to say anything: when you've found you've gone too far, you can simply walk it back and say it was metaphor. Should any of Milo's or Jones's followers act on this, would you still say their comments were just figures of speech?

Please be more sensitive about declaring something you know 'everyone knows.' Especially when in the same breath you admit to not knowing what red book parent and grandparent are talking about. While I don't match the example, folks born in 1997 when the book came out are just about graduating college in a couple of years, and expecting everyone to know all the nooks and crannies of computer science is not at all feasible.

The difference is that tobacco itself doesn't kill people. It's the long term side effects. You can't overdose on cigarettes (although it is possible to OD on nicotine).

72,000 is just the number of sudden effects, ignoring the chronic long term effects of opiate abuse.

It the same thing with alcohol. Very few alcoholics die from alcohol poisoning, it's the long term health problems that kill them.

It seems bizarre that you wouldn't create a C version of this library. If you create a C version, everyone can write bindings and consume it from their favorite language. I think maybe you can do that with Rust code, but it's typical to write the canonical version in C.

Your benchmarks are flawed, as they only compare between different implementations using the same language. If you really care about performance, it seems bizarre that you'd use PHP or Ruby.
There are definitely limits on the nice ones.

If Google decides to become more invested in Chinese culture, I predict we will see more ceremonial terminations. Because it becomes very difficult to resist doing that when political pressure comes into play.

Transparent has a unique meaning in the context of computing And a different one in design, business and physics.

Importantly however; Tech people can claim they are being 'transparent'. To them this can mean no visible difference to the user- and to everyone else means visible/public and available for scrutiny.

So yes, I am sure Zuckerberg is focused on 'transparency'.

Back in 1994 I went to Kenya with my family as a child. One of the items that my father had been suggested to bring en masse in our bags was disposable pens. We took tons of them. As it turns out, they were an incredible haggling tool.

Ultimately, I think that conformity is what this entire conversation is all about. I do not value conformity and I reject the notion that forcing people to conform is a societal gain.

Of course the number of terrorists trying to do something on domestic flights is vanishingly small.

there were 631 million people flying in 2010, for example (I did a quick google, I'm sure there are more up to date numbers somewhere). There were 6 terrorist incidents in the US, per wikipedia. Of those 1 involved a plane, which wasn't a passenger jet.

Now, maybe all the security theater is keeping terrorists from trying to do something, but given the fact that terrorists are blowing up markets and other buildings in iraq and nothing would really prevent that, I'd say the number of terrorists in the US is just incredibly small.

But yeah, it's amazing that the US government can treat everyone as a suspicious individual, get them to pay to not be as big of a suspect, given how little terrorism there actually is.

We spend billons of dollars on terrorism that could probably save a lot more lives applied to things like safer cars or reducing medical mistakes.

When my older daughter (8) was upset because my younger daughter (3) destroyed her art work I taught her that, while her younger sister would not go without consequences for her actions, it was ultimately her own fault for leaving her artwork in a place where her younger sister could get access to it - especially when similar lessons had been experienced before.

So, in the end, you have to decide if your priority is your sanity, your integrity, loyalty, or something else. Then you should act in that best interest. Once you do this you will be at ease with the outcome no matter what it might be.

I ran into an amplified version of that during a long trip to France in the midst of the peak political fallout between the US and France over the Iraq war.

The French being the French, every interaction was made dramatically better so long as I made every effort to stay in their language. There was a lot of tension in the air with regards to the US, dialogue in their language always defused that. Older people were the nicest, they were always surprised I was there and were happy to see an American in Paris at that time.
Actually I think the airlines may still need to pay something, even if you’re formally enrolled.

For example, Norwegian Airlines, a discount provider doesn’t “participte” in TSA precheck. So although I’m enrolled, there’s no way to get precheck if you’re flying Norwegian. (At last that was the case last year, maybe it was just that their systems weren’t capable.)
Your analogy fails because Alex Jones isn't a protected class. He wasn't kicked off for being gay/religion etc, he was kicked off for inciting violence.
Yes, it’s _obviously_ a figure of speech. Alex Jones is not, nor has he ever been, a leader of armed resistance of any sort. Neither was Milo. They do not _actually_ urge armed resistance. Anyone who argues otherwise is being deliberately obtuse. If you want to go after violent resistance, check out hundreds of accounts of violent Antifa activists which are, miraculously, not banned from Twitter.

But the earnings aren't all salaries either. As I understand it, doctors earn salaries from employers, but as I understand it, they are also leading investors in provider systems and in the malpractice insurance system.

They're not getting poor. The only thing I'm suggesting is that reducing the cost of care will make them poorer, but that could be offset by attracting people to be doctors who don't come from the most affluent backgrounds.

The idea came to my mind that people could create websites on domains of the form [some SHA hash].example.com and reference from the root HTML page a file with the name [the same SHA hash].js and this could trigger a special mode in the browser where it checked that the JavaScript file hashed to the given value, and then refused to load any other scripts.

The bootstrap JavaScript file could contain the code needed to download more files, and to download a digitally signed list of file hashes, which it could check against a hardcoded public key. Also the browser would have to remember a flag for that domain to require this same bootstrapping process every time, to stop downgrade attacks.

All Pre tells me is that everyone else is going through more "security" than even the TSA deems necessary for absolutely no reason. I refuse to enroll in it mainly because of that.
> Very few alcoholics die from alcohol poisoning, it's the long term health problems that kill them.

Actually I think the median death from alcohol is mid-30s, with alcohol-related accidents and suicides being more common than chronic health issues.
I just went through a slew of interviews where I got several questions early in the on-site technical interview about my hobbies. Actually had an interview a couple months ago where there was a dedicated part for a "cultural fit" interview. I think if I knew I was going to get hired it would likely be less of an issue for me, but I still think you should consider kind of what these kind of questions communicate in an interview context and how interviewees will be primed to answer them. "At will employment" generally means employers can choose to fire you or not hire you for an enormous number of petty reasons, and that knowledge is always shaping how I perform in an interview, and generally leads me to be pretty tight-lipped about anything about myself. I had an interview recently where an employee that was part of the hiring process was able to find out that I have left wing politics based on a github organization I was a part of. I didn't get that job and, like many companies, they weren't willing to provide their rationale, so I'll never know if that was an important factor.
> what you mean by "experiments do not have results."

Let the experiment measure spin projection s_y of an atom previously prepared in spin state |s_x+>. It is known empirically that this experiment has two possible mutually exclusive results, +1/2 and -1/2, with probability of each being 1/2. Standard quantum theory accepts this and uses mathematics to predict those probabilities from data on the mutual arrangement of preparator and analyser of the spin.

Such predictions are difficult to be made in Everettian theory, because that theory describes both the particle with spin and those forming the measuring apparatus in the same way. When that is done, the physical process of measurement can be mathematically described by the Schroedinger equation, which may seem like a win, but it has a big downside: all it gives is a ray in the big Hilbert space of particle plus apparatus at later times; it is not clear what this calculation result is good for. It is not the prediction of real experiment's result; it is not even clear how to use it to calculate probabilities of those results. Certainly not by Born's rule - because what is the eigenfunction to be used in the Born formula? Such eigenfunction is, in standard theory, determined by the classical settings of the apparatus, such as orientation of the SG magnet. But there is no such thing in Everettian theory, there is just psi function.

I think that's a solid concept, even though it's a more nerdy restatement of a marketing truth that's ages old. Products are functions because people buy what things do for them, not what things are.

In other words, people buy benefits, not features.
