- marketing companies they ask to run Facebook campaigns for you may be as clueless as they are

Source: I used to work for one (we had separate development and social media marketing departments). People doing marketing had no clue about statistics, they just shoved random whale graphs from Facebook's fanpage panel into a word document and wrote narratives that suggested everything is peachy. Customers read those reports, and since they had no way or skill of reevaluating the results on their end, they were happy and willing to pay. I'm not even assuming malicious intent on the part of the provider - just general cluelessness.

I'm increasingly convinced a lot of marketing on the Internet looks that way. Neither party understands the real meaning of the results, but as long as the buyer is happy, money keeps flowing.

Alignment is a mechanism to prevent beggar-thy-neighbour policies that lead to a race to the bottom, with everybody worse off. If you have a porous border without alignment, you get smuggling.

The EU single market is a definitional concept, it exists by definition. Not all goods and services are in the single market, but the scope gradually increases over time. Necessarily, as the scope increases, the need for harmonization increases, and that's what often leads to accusations of loss of sovereignty.

> People make a lot of assumptions about employment lawsuits that I, as something of an insider, don't see IRL

Yet US based HR decisions aren't based on informed awareness, but instead fear. Consider what people "know" about the McDonalds hot coffee lawsuit, and what kind of training or legal advice most hr depts get (again, in the US. My understanding is that done other countries actually have standards for hr training)
I’m more talking about renting an apartment vs owning a house. They’re fundamentally different goods/services but their dollar value tends to be closer than they should be. Renting a house shouldn’t be profitable or should be only slightly due to selling one very heterogeneous good.

Apartments generally suck compared to owning a house. You’re literally paying to have a manager over you. You’ve probably got stairs to lug everything up/down. You’ve got neighbors above you making you listen to their crap - and if their apartment floods because they did something dumb or just a freak occurrence, you’re flooding too. Etc etc. but it makes sense for that to be profitable when a complex can operate with economies of scale.

The short of it is C without the warts plus a few small quality of life improvements.

The long of it: The competition right now in this space as I see it is: C, Rust, C++. Even C++ doesn't fully fit because you have to turn off language features like exceptions to have the guarantees you need for systems programming. So in turn.

C hasn't really changed in 40 years so all it's warts are still intact and has specific pain points that will never be addressed.

C++ conversely has added every language feature plus the kitchen sink over the past 30 years. People say: "Just don't use the features you don't want", but that is unrealistic when you have to interoperate with third party libraries etc. If you have to drop a large portion of the C++ ecosystem to use the subset of the language you like then you've lost a major benefit of choosing C++ in the first place.

Rust, while being more thoughtful about it than C++, has provided a large set of features to work with. It is a much bigger language than C. It's also taken a very opinionated stance on safety with the borrow checker which causes a large learning curve and a lot of mental overhead.

Finally Zig is an attempt to be more safe than C where it can without being as overbearing as Rust. Add just the necessary features that a huge boost to quality of life while not flooding the programmers mental model of the language. I think of it as kind of a C+.

Why Lots of Americans Are Sour on the Economy
Yes and no. It is rather unfortunate that splitting up costs so much.

But at the same time, these folks lose all of the protections and benefits that the legal framework of marriage gives. For example, health insurance coverage will not extend to your loved one without the legal framework for it to exist. You might have raised your partner's child since birth or not long after their father/mother passed on, but you'll have no legal right to them if something happens. Even something as simple as taking care of school business for the children gets muddy.

You, in general, will not get a say in their care during an emergency situation. Being low income also generally means you do not have the means to have such a legal paper put into place.

It also means that you do not get any sort of protection or help with breaking up. No one is going to step in to say that you have to share the apartment until you save up money or that one should be the one to move out, let alone help to make sure that each of you gets to keep a vehicle if they were both in one person's name.

Scotland had a develution referendum in 1979 that failed even though a majority voted for devolution - for some reason it was decided that 40% of the registered electorate had to vote Yes and as turnout was 64% a 51.6% Yes vote wasn't enough:

We moved a very large iOS app over to Swift, and the first two benefits are really huge. I know people have opinions on these things, and both sides are right, but the really strong typing and enforced nullability have been hugely important to getting junior engineers contributing to the codebase.

People conflate fake news with biased analysis too. There's a difference between (in the NYT specifically) the first and second bullet point. If you look at any major headline story in the NYT- the first bullet is always the story, what factually happened, and the second one is the 'spin' which is where the alleged bias is found. Readers can still get value out of that first bullet even if they discount the second one- but it does get tedious at a certain level.
My real question is: do they really mean unknown or just “unknown to us”. Guy could be quite well recognised in China for all I know. There’s a lot of implicit parochialism that works its way into news stories.

It feels like the people here don't know that the state issuing "bonds" means it's taking on debt.

I lived in San Francisco for a while, and I don't remember the numbers and I know you can look this up, but it felt like I was voting No on up to dozen different bond proposals every two years. Doesn't matter, they always pass. (To clarify, I also don't remember if these were always up to a majority vote, but they almost always pass unless it's for something Californians don't like for whatever reason.)
What if that happens to any other employee? How many of them have experienced that before to know that they wouldn't have done the same? How many of them have been in those positions and did commit crime, but didn't get convicted? Having someone with criminal experience can also provide value as they would know what what to look for to find others who would do the same. Frank Abagnale Jr. being the extreme example of this.

If the US media only likes US news stories, why was there a huge following for the soccer team in Thailand who were trapped in the cave? It's just a matter of how many other things are in the news right now, and the news cycle right now is being hammered with the SCOTUS nomination. If people want to complain about US news being myopic, this is a really bad example.
I think his material point was that dealing with custody matters for never married parents is no more, or less, messy than dealing with custody for married parents. So what's the benefit drawn from being married?

I can tell you right now, if you go into a family court here in the US believing you will get more access to your children because you were married, you're liable to be disagreeably surprised. Whether married or unmarried, just protect your legal rights as best you can. And, no matter what happens, abide by the judgement of the court. Appeal later if you're upset.

Absolutely agree. When Kevin Rose came out of the blue with Digg, they didn't call him 'Unknown'. It is just how media in the US (and rest of the world is trying to copy them mostly) tries to grab attention.

Also, it is unknown to them, but Bytedance has been around for quite some time and covered in the US. Also, it is not like they are not making money. So many things are wrong with how they cover this.

"Eyballs"/hour is the future source of growth because all societies move towards becoming post-industrial consumer based societies and people spend more time staring at the screen. Tech companies, no matter how tech, produce products and services where the value is increasingly coming from discretionary income and services. There may be several links between the product and the consumer.

To add to the other good answers here: I love its succinctness. The syntax itself is succinct (but still extremely readable) and the pervasive availability of functional-style methods (map/filter/reduce/etc) make it easier to keep lots of code in your head and on your screen at one time, making it much easier to understand complex code.

Thoughts on Code Reviews (and more)
The problem with Brexit is that "leave the European Union" is not a policy, it's an outcome. All of the thinking about how to do it should have taken place before the vote, and then we could have voted on that (this is actually the way legislation is typically developed in the UK, and the job of our sometime venerated civil service). Compare it to the recent Irish referendum on abortion, where there was a clear plan for what would actually happen following a vote for change.
yeah, this is possibly mostly a correlation with people being in religious groups were marriage is very frowned upon. you would expect that if sex before marriage is frowned upon, divorce is too

this is same problem with children stories, by my estimate if there is mentioned only one parent in story it will be in 90% cases mother, which leads to situation that since it's only me reading book to my child i have to replace almost all mentions of mother in story with father because of some ignorant writers

as for article i don't understand why these families provide contact on mother if father should be primary contact? simple as that, provide only father's number/email. I've done similar thing, when i provide my wife's number as secondary connect i always won't forget to write next to it, it's English language only discourage pretty much everyone speaking different mother language
The same 51% will just vote for a populist candidate to push their agenda. You can’t escape it by playing games with required thresholds. Brexit happened because people wanted it to happen.

Honestly, the Brexit that would probably keep the most people happy is if England and Wales minus London left the UK, and the remainder of the UK plus London stayed in the EU. Scotland would have to become a special economic zone though.
So in a way divorce rates are going up if you don't stick to the technical definition of a divorce as the end of a legal status and instead look at the breakup of family unit instead?

It seems part a word game because I doubt those looking at the statistics ever really cared much about marriages or divorces for what they represent on a purely legal level, but for their approximation of cohabitation and family status.
It becomes even more ironic when you recall that the (largely Unionist) Ulster Scots in NI are well... Scots...
Senior Operations Analyst -- Knowledge of scripting languages (Korn Shell, Perl and/or Python)

Korn shell surprises me! I thought that Google was always a Linux shop, and never used any other Unix. Was Korn shell ever popular on Linux, as opposed to bash?

I didn't use shell back in 1999, but I thought that bash was already popular back then. bash was apparently the first program that Linus Torvalds got running on Linux, back in the early 90's.

I saw a bit of early Perl at Google when I worked there, but it was mostly all Python. I never saw any Korn shell, although I guess bash is compatible with Korn shell, so maybe that's what they meant. Or it was written by a recruiter who copied from other common job postings at the time.
