The title of this is extremely amusing to me because I've only ever thought of online moderators as basically the lowest form of life, almost exclusively petty tyrants and ego-tripping jerks who try to flatter and ingratiate the people above them and are heavy-handed despots to anyone beneath them. Their role as "gatekeeper of ability to communicate with people via the medium under their control" is typically done by encoding their adolescent morality into policy and silencing anyone who goes against the grain or threatens their social standing.

It's actually gotten me thinking a lot about distributed moderation. Wouldn't it be better if access to any particular medium of communication (a forum, an IRC channel, a mastodon server) was federated? Democratized moderation would mean that people could then subscribe to whichever style of moderation they prefer, and people with unpopular styles of moderation (e.g. "ban everything I don't like", the style of the vast majority of forum moderators) would cease having so much power over mediums of communication.

See comment about regexes:

However, D's compile-time metaprogramming facilities allowed us to get ambitious in some places... for instance, std.uni precomputes some Unicode lookup tables during compilation, and std.regex makes heavy use of metaprogramming to compile regular expression strings to D code, again during compilation. As a result, making use of those features will result in heavier load on the compiler.

I 100% agree with you. Over the course of my career, I've taken plenty of time, on the clock, to do such. Not necessarily with any particular direction of my managers, but just understanding that "My job is to solve problem X. Doing so requires learning tool Y, therefore, I'll spend a day of learning and an hour of coding".

Having talked to others, though, I find that a lot of folks don't necessarily realize that this is acceptable/encouraged. As I moved into senior roles, I tried to do a better job of conveying this. And overall, employers and managers need to do a better job communicating that doing this is expected/reasonable behavior.

> something so banal as rent being slighty late

Getting rent from you is the only reason the landlord is doing the whole enterprise in the first place! It’s not a banal side detail of the deal.

And how do you think they pay their bills? Using your rent. If you pay late what do you think they have to do? You could cause them to default on something else.
False premise.

There is no shortage of devs. That has been a complete fabrication, made up entirely by big tech companies, in a propaganda push to promote more and more people getting into CS.

It's entirely so they can pay developers less.

For anyone curious, v3 is the 32-byte ed25519 pub key, then the first two bytes of the SHA3-256 hash of the key (w/ prepended fixed string and one byte appended), then one more const byte, and then all of those 35 bytes are base 32'd to make 56 chars. Some Go code to illustrate: https://github.com/cretz/bine/blob/f33268f0843a1b2b131a4cacf.... One benefit being that the entire pub key is right there in the hostname.

I figured I'd add my two cents since I'm still a juniorish developer (sitting at around 2.5 years of experience) and I definitely noticed during my my more recent job search that there was a dearth of Junior job postings. I'm of the opinion that there are two major issues in play:

1. There's the myth of the junior developer breaking prod or wiping databases. This is usually the result of teams not having enough process or protections in play. These are only exposed when a newbie developer does something silly because senior developers have learned how to navigate the system.

2. There's the myth of the junior developer not adding value until they're fully trained. Personally I have never had an issue ramping up, but from what I've seen across my network and search is that there's a fear of developers leaving once they gain enough knowledge. And, well, that usually happens because junior developers can be heavily underpaid without any promotion opportunities which makes job hopping the best way to increase your salary.

So I would say right now there's an overabundance of mid-level positions that could be filled by junior developers but due to irrational fears results in them just foisting the work upon smaller teams. I definitely noticed that the moment I hit two years of experience that the search became a lot easier

What are the error bounds on measuring such an object at the distances they exist at?

> What do you mean by this?

We make assumptions all the time when we measure things and often we do not question whether what we are measuring is actually correct. We assume. In these cases, we have to use proxies to determine distances and sizes. if any of those proxies are even a little out, our errors can be huge.

> Are you suggesting they try and measure the size some other way?

Not necessarily, but I am suggesting that the basis assumptions be looked at to see what else may be more applicable. If you do this, valuable insights may be gained and a different approach suggested. This kind of activity is undertaken for simple system like computer models. Why not do this for other such areas as well?

Going back to my original comment, as the model does not accord with the data, maybe we need to be looking at the basis assumption that are being used.

However, it appears that there are many who believe that the assumptions are true (for all intents and purposes) and can see no point as to question them.

I have taken a strong interest in looking at the mathematical basis for much of our engineering and science.

It is very obvious that the universe around at all levels is vastly more complicated than any of the mathematics we use to build our theories and models. That is not a problem, but it does mean that we need to clearly keep in mind that our theories and models are, at best, just an approximation and that we should not get caught up in believing that they are true but simply consider them as useful. When they are no longer useful, we can discard them for something more useful.

Our understanding of the universe around will always be flawed. However, the fun is trying to get a handle on the universe by the models and theories we use. Too many people take themselves too seriously in the belief they put into the models and theories they ascribe to. If you are basing your reputation on being right about your model or theory, then I think you are taking the wrong approach to science. Offer up ideas to be investigated, let them be investigated. If they don't pan out then move on to something else. There is so much to look at at every level, let's have fun doing this. Don't be afraid t revisit old ideas or look at new ideas. There may be gems that will open up completely new areas of investigation and discovery.

Based on reports from that era, the tribe was highly secretive and suspicious of outsiders long before this event happened.

Non-developer here but I might have some insight on general hiring practices: First of all, most companies, startups especially, are really bad at training. Like, really really bad. A majority don’t have any kind of formal training programs until they hit 100+ employees, and even then the training you get is usually created by HR and lacks any kind of technical depth. It’s hard enough to even wrap your head around the basics of how most tech companies are built as an early employee; trying to turn that complexity into a simple training program for new hires is hard and people rarely have the time or resources to do it well.

That being said, if a company is preparing for growth they need to plan and document for those trainings ahead of time, and they’re probably better off hiring fast and teaching quickly on the job. Not documenting how your company works is another kind of technical debt if you think about it, and a lot of startups scramble to make up for it when they find they need to hire quickly but those hires aren’t getting up to speed as quickly as they should be. So they overreact and think it’s the quality of the developers that’s the problem when it’s really their own lackluster training resources causing the issue. Also, the company I’m at just constantly maintains listings for front end and back end engineers and data science just to try and keep a constant pipeline coming, but the actual needs and experience levels they’re looking for at any one time on those teams do change. IMO you should never apply to a job post that’s been up for 1+ month; always target newly published listings and you’ll up the chances a recruiter reaches out. The rest is just HR noise.
Unions typically protect existing workers by constraining the supply of new ones. At the very least, holding wages high constrains the number of workers a firm can afford. Unions are great as an employee, but I would not be pining for them as a job seeker, particularly a junior job seeker (seniority rules are notorious).
You specifically want Linux so I would skip all the generic or cisco focused books. Have you read LDD3? http://www.makelinux.net/ldd3/ ,chapter 17 specifically. It's difficult to learn the Linux network stack without knowing C as well.
In VC land at least I think there is a preference for cumbersome employment agreements to capture intellectual property and head off potential competition, even if unenforcable by law (simple psychological / fear). Legally programmers are universally hired as “exempt” salaried “employee” (vs. worker).

Junior devs should be hired on as exempt hourly workers. This would replace the worse than random interview process and do lots of wonderful things.

It cuts lawyers and HR out to a large degree so I have a hard time seeing it catch on, but in the longer term smart contracts and other lawyer labor saving packages could bring it in.

This is pretty unrelated, but your post reminded me of the frustration I experienced during the housing crash.

I bought my condo in 2006, essentially at the peak of the market - then was out of work for long time during the recession and had to go through foreclosure.

During that time, I watched as the government sprung into action with those sweet incentives to stimulate people to buy real estate (e.g. the $8,000 Homebuyer Tax Credit!).

I understand it, but it just rankled me to be on the losing end of time!
> Apple should be lauded for trying to bring their laptop and desktop lines into the same defensive posture as their mobile offerings.

I think this can't be stated enough. The fact of the matter is that pre T2, evil maid attacks were ridiculously easy. Now they're at least as secure as iOS -- which also means that shared vulnerabilities can be patched and detected. By no means is it perfect security, but it's a heck of a lot better than "stick boot disk in and gain keys to the kingdom."

For so long we've gone by the mantra that physical access means you have root. Now we're a step ahead of that -- which is great for data privacy.

Many states in the American South are very tenant-unfriendly, housing is rented "as-is, where-is" and the only remedy available to the tenant when a landlord does not live up to the requirements in the contract is to move out with 14 days notice. This invites abuse, especially if the judge is "business-friendly", too, and if it's a small town where all the landowners know each other.

It's easy to imagine that the abuses in China were even greater, and it's easy to see why many people wouldn't mind their landowner hanging from a streetlight. You could even argue it was justified.
