It's not that Churchill was a different person in wartime than in peacetime, it's just that most people's morals change from wartime to peacetime. So the same atrocity could be viewed as an atrocity or heroic and brave depending on what the public at large feels like their situation was like at the time. That's the point being raised about the manager: every statement the parent made was basically an accusation, but because the team was desperate the success in the end overwrote the other things in everybody's mind.

If the team had failed in the end, all of the qualities that are presently being lauded would be held at fault. True morals may not be relative and situational, but the average person's mental implementation of morals sure can be.

I think it's the parents who are expected to agree to the contract, thereby expressing their consent. Then if a child does it on their own, they are committing fraud against the company, which can then claim to be the victim and deflect all blame.
In the decades to come, men will look back on articles such as this and curse the existence of we moderns for our extravagant wastefulness.
It's unfortunate that the enum-based solution doesn't work, but that particular example can be made "optimal" (at least, as good control flow as LLVM can get this code: the same as clang, not GCC), by using a rather unpleasant series of loops and labelled breaks: https://godbolt.org/z/sQ1nH8 (rustfmt'd version: https://play.rust-lang.org/?gist=b1091e0c583b88f27bf1eaeae3a...).

This doesn't work in general, and is ... impossible to maintain, but it's not an unreasonable approach for generated code.
Postgres Randomized Primary Keys using the Feistel Cipher
Well, they updated to a new version of V8. So that's about 8 months worth of JS optimizations and new language features right there. The change log doesn't really do a good job of highlighting that though, it just says "Upgraded from v8 6.1.534.41 to 6.6.346.32."
> In terms of public policy you have to decide what you're optimizing for and that decision can't be made with data alone because it does not help resolve questions of value and fairness.
Not to mention that matters of value and fairness also change the availability of, and interest in, research itself. For example, if some people don't like the results of your research (despite presenting no challenge to the facts or methodology), they can now apparently replace it without notice after publishing it in a journal (and do so in a manner which is intended to make it difficult to publish it in other journals).

The academy is the wrong place to direct politics, because politics already direct the academy.

From my perspective, a more likely overall improvement in the ongoing quality of policy would be a requirement that all policies sunset reasonably soon by default, even if they don't seem divisive at the time they're passed. As it regards controlled substances, this would lower the bar for repeal to "nobody particularly cares to renew it" from "nobody particularly cares to do the work to repeal it".

Sure, I agree autism can be very debilitating and pose a heavy burden on the individual and the family. In my family we tend to fell on the lighter side of the spectrum.

My 5yo boy is officially diagnosed and he is really smart. My father was definitely autistic although never diagnosed.

I was lucky enough to have a false twin brother (11 months younger) that was the most popular guy at school while I was the weirdest (until I started emulating his behavior in social situations).

Today I believe my brain is just wired differently. Some of the most powerful structures in the brain (the GPUs) are devoted analyzing faces and reactions; in my case they are used for other purposes so I had to learn how to process faces using the CPU which is a bit tiresome but works well enough.
This highlights some of the underlying irrationalities and insanities of "normal" society. The rational thing is low effort - not giving a damn unless it is somehow actually relevant. Yet management insists upon setting up additional talent filters for petty reasons and go with what flatters themselves above all else. We see things like the most social positions - managers having closed offices while giving open office plans and cubicles to the people with conventrative work.
hah. i do believe every word of it.
My current theory on "why do we think that way when we're young" is a disconnection in logic between the older perspective and younger perspective. You don't think you're invulnerable when you're young you simply just don't think about what happens next. When your brain matures and you get older you realize you're going to be around a much longer time than you ever imagined. Your pre-frontal cortex gets a stronger voice and says "watch out you'll die in a second doing that!"

An adults perspective is they young think they will never get hurt. A youths perspective never thinks about getting hurt in the first place.

Did you read the article?

It's a very reasonable comparison: A mindless machine that can pose a mortal danger if it doesn't function as intended.

Cars are used much more complex environment, and the mechanisms needed to automate them are substantially more complex than those used in automating elevators, but it doesn't mean it's an idiotic comparison. Nobody is saying "automating a car is as easy as automating an elevator"

At a certain point in history, manual elevators exited. driverless elevators did not.

People are initially skeptical of most automation, but often times these things become commonplace and we take them for granted. That's what I took away from this. Keep up the good fight tilting at windmills sir.
Lying to your environment is an evolutionary benefit in a lot of cases.

Is why we have species that impersonate other species, or that have camouflage patterning.
i reached out to a bunch of start ups and offered to work for free basically -- it was 8 years ago, so i think times were a lot different, there were a lot less start up backs then, i think its probably a lot easier to find paid work

> Assumption: Trump wants fair trade. HN readers want fair trade... The core of the problem is obviously that the initial assumption is false: Trump and HN do not want fairer trade, but trade one-sidedly beneffiting the US.

I realize your comment is not from a pro-US perspective, but try not to conflate a leader of a country with a group of users coming from that country. Many people on HN have nuanced views of the value of trade. If you read anything Trump has said or written on the topic its clear that he has no idea what international trade is or how tariffs work. Attributing any plan or intelligent design behind these things is one of the biggest mistakes we have made in addressing the problems created by this president. Its just what people "ooo" and "aaah" about at his rallies and that's all he cares about, but it attracts political allies that share that belief for their own reasons and that is who we see being selected to carry out US policies.
There's an Embedded Rust working group currently, and they're doing some amazing things:
https://github.com/rust-embedded/awesome-embedded-rust

James Munn gave a super interesting talk at this year's RustConf about some of the abstractions they're building for embedded systems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t99L3JHhLc0

I think Rust is in a great position to become incredibly useful in the embedded space.
When I posted this, the snippet was not part of the answer being discussed. There was only a link to a node module.
In order to determine accuracy, one must first figure out how it works. I could grok the level, but for measuring dimensions, in playing for few minutes in my office yesterday I never got it to do anything but tell me I’m doing it wrong. It’s not like the user manual is all that thick.
She fought for us, when there was an issue she cared and sought to understand, she understood that family comes first before work (and lived the example), she protected us from the politics of the large organization, and she did whatever she could to obtain the resources we needed to do the job (a nearly impossible task at that company.) She had a 100-200 people on her staff yet she always made time to meet with whoever wanted to meet with her, and proactively scheduled quarterly skip levels with each person.

When the company's executives forced her to fire 95% of her staff, I can only imagine the turmoil she went through. She fought like hell to keep it from happening and then they overruled her and made her do the dirty work. She was also tasked with making sure we trained our replacements - IBM consultants in India. In doing so she gave us everything we needed (ie time to go on job interviews or take online courses) and was very clear that she was on our side, likely in defiance of company brass.

As a result, before the layoffs, we were good - easily the most advanced, innovative, and best performing group in the company. We really pushed the envelope despite strong forces outside our group pushing the other way. We were strapped for resources but we always made things work. She refused to take credit for it - "It's because of you guys; I'm really lucky to have an amazing team" but we knew better. We were really lucky to have an amazing boss.

I was always appreciative of her but after that experience of being laid off which was in early 2016 I feel such a strong sense of loyalty to her that if she got a job running a trash dump I would not hesitate to quit my current job (which is great) and go work for her picking through shit for minimum wage, just to be on her team again.
NASA names its first female chief flight director
> To be more specific about "more inconvenient": I believe part of the intended effect of ASLR is to make ROP exploit attempts typicaly crash the process instead of successfully gaining control.

Keep in mind that before ASLR came, there was (and still is) DEP and its claims that lots of classes of attack were now impossible. The end of this story was that ROP was invented and hardly anything has changed, except that ROP code is much more tedious to write (i.e. no problem for well-funded attackers).

Now we have ASLR and you are probably right that now ROP exploits lead to process crashes instead. But attackers have already invented new techniques for circumventing ASLR, such as return-to-plt, GOT overwrite or GOT dereferencing. Again making it more inconvenient for script kiddies to write exploits, but again no problem for an attacker who can throw lots of money and people at the problem.

The way I read that, it implies that taking a test in that second language places you at a disadvantage relative to those who speak it natively.

It says nothing about the merits of knowing a second language.
I look at mainstream security devices.

I look at cheap camera modules and Linux boards.

I look some more at the mainstream security devices.

I look again at the cheap cameras and Linux boards.

Sadly, security cameras are among the most hackable targets on the Internet, because You™ haven't released that competitive solution you've been thinking about that prioritizes security over unnecessary bells and whistles. When you do, you'll corner that vocal fraction of the community you've always been wanting to meet.

It doesn't have to be a bureaucratic, incoherent, legacy-burdened headache built from clipboard-remixed vendor samples. Linux, no blobs, a couple lightweight services; and you're done. Remote access in the palm of your hand? Too easy. Anything is possible when you design without agendas.

My last manager made sure that he honored the open door policy. I was allowed to step in whenever and ask him a question or discuss anything work/non-work related. Despite all the stress he had to deal with he made sure all questions went answered. That's a true leader.
Do Capitalists Still Need Consumers?
I read the quoted statement in the context of the rest of your comment, which pertains to a workplace environment where the subject already lives and works in the real world, so they'd be on the higher-functioning end of that spectrum. There are certainly people who don't fall into that end, though.
It looks really shady. They never tell you how much shipping costs on their web site (to Europe), and then you're taken to Paypal where it clearly shows "10 dollars" (nothing else) and a blue "Pay" button.

After clicking "Pay" you're getting an email that 40 dollars have been sent to Condé Nast.

That borders on fraud. Let's see what customer support has to say about it.
My child is on the spectrum. His symptoms are relatively mild by comparison it seems with yours. It's still tough for me and my wife. I hope you are able to hang on to that grain of sand. I know how hard it is.
Powermac g5 and/or power6. I got a CLFS kernel version 3.16 to boot and run (insanely fast) on the g5, but power6 is completely mysterious to me. There is some sort of RHEL linux based firmware running on it, but it seems there is no way to make it boot anything other than what's officially supported.
Yes, I think you're right about the turbulence. It's not like it would have a smooth edge.
Ohh I was about to reply to your next comment, but it was deleted. I couldn't agree more. That comment was downvoted, but not the 2 replies preceding it containing bizarre and far-fetched accusations. Shameful. What kind of society is it where you can't say: [sorry for quoting at length]

I absolutely love everything Julia writes. She writes in a way that makes absolutely zero assumptions about your level of technical competence. You could be a junior, mid, senior and still get something from most of her articles.

Anecdotally; Almost every female engineer I work with writes and communicates in this fashion and I really bloody wish more of my male counterparts would speak with less jargon/acronyms for the sake of new starts/non-engineers.

- without that apparently not being allowed:

It’s not a good idea to generalise and push gender stereotypes in this way. You’re saying that female engineers have better communication skills than male ones, setting the bar higher for female engineers.

You might think you’re improving gender equality with statements like this but really you’re setting a different bar of basic competencies for males vs females.

The problem is you chose to group your coworkers by gender in the first place, and then assign some trait to that group.

Your comments just end up reaffirming confirmation bias. It also reveals your own bias to automatically associate traits with a certain gender.

Why not group people by color of their eyes, handedness, tallness, and so on? I'm sure if you look at the coworkers with "good communication" you could find common traits that are not related to their gender. So why imply gender as the cause?

Anyways, I think it's something to be avoided and be aware of in your communication.

it’s sexism

What an utter load of rubbish. Hard to know where to start with all the misguidedness in there. (It reminds me of hearing someone say once that to say that men have penises and women vaginas is sexist.) Your reality is clashing with their theory, so your reality must be the thing at fault. Insanity. Does appalling nonsense like this come from vaguely hearing some gender studies stuff at uni? It seems they think they're doing good by their ignorant, condescending attacks on what was enthusiasm + observation.
It's hard to draw 2D lines using a 3D API? Doesn't sound like a revelation.

No need for a leak. They make it pretty clear where the area is, so I suppose the paving can begin. If we kill them all then we no longer have to worry about what we don't know about them! /s
I've always wondered why they're designed that way -- it looks like it's asking for trouble.
Silvius isn't really state of the art. It's just newish. On their website it even says the project that inspired them has better performance. It references Aenea (which is a convoluted system of using Dragon on Linux in a VM) and calls out to Tavis Rudd's 5-year-old presentation and Dragonfly, none of which are state of the art.

Silvius is unique in being the only project I know of to use Kaldi, which is very cool because it's open-source and doesn't require a GPU, but the recognition accuracy of Silvius isn't great and the voice model is fixed and has no feedback from the grammar.
I've had several good managers in my time, and two horrible ones. But the best I ever had, I like because he did the following:

- managed down, not up. Constantly looked out for us and got us what we needed, even though it was an uphill battle with corporate and the client. He complained about this frequently, but never made it seem like we owed him anything.

- handled a lot of the shit work, administrative, spreadsheet updating kind of stuff himself

- always hustled, but never held it against us if we didn't seem to hustle as hard as he did (in fact, he worked way harder than I did and I felt a little guilty)

- perhaps most importantly, put up with me. I was much less mature and had a lot of sharp edges at the time. He constantly coached me and also tried to cover for me. I am hoping he saw something in me at the time and that he'd be proud of me if he saw what I was doing now (though I'm sure he'd still have some coaching advice as well)

He is by far the best boss I've ever had and I will never forget him. Thanks, Jeff.
I am not entirely convinced. At first I thought robotics were still a little far off in all industry ( Apart from Cars ), for many task, they are not as fast as a human worker, at least those in Foxconn who are now trained themselves to muscle memory speed. But now I believe Apple's Dasiy, the disassemble machine, are basically the testing phase of how to do iPhone assembly all by machines, and doing so quickly. Dasiy is already 4x faster than the original Liam, and I believe the threshold os robotics replacing manufacturing may reach a critical point where it makes sense to move back to US, and with ease.

I don't know when will we reach that critical points, as with everything in life, the last 20% always takes the same amount of time as the first 80%. But once it does, China is looking at a potential job lost of 5 - 50M or more.
Well firstly, its just a well made film. Like, that dance scene. Thats an iconic scene, hilarious and unsettling at the same time.

>and is untreatable

If it was "treatable" would you still consider it not a mental illness?
Yes, that's the point. It's a messed up system and writing hagiographies of the "good ones" doesn't do anything to change the fact that employment is an arrangement where people with capital extort labor out of those without it via the threat of destitution.
I havr to disagree here. Considering all the real trouble Tesla is currently in, not to mention Musk himself, and with otger car makers catching up electrical vehicles there is undeniably some doubt about Tesla as a company. On top that you have shaky financials and the departure of important executives, also in financial department. So yes, just looking at that without any hard number crunching and financial analysis the picture is not rousy.

All of which is sad, Tesla really had and still has some appeal to it. I don't think that appeal in itself is enough for a public company.

And by the way, not all negative reporting is automatically bad journalism or even fake news.
