> language allows casting pointers to integers

The original thread was about converting int to be an arbitrary precision type: "so that 'int' can become a true integer". One would imagine that, to preserve the ability to do pointer <-> non-pointer number, they would just leave uintptr alone, and so basically ignore your concerns, whereas int as the "native type" for slice indexes and the like is a more likely reason to prevent messing with "int" itself
Oh, yes, the schizophrenic whiplash between consulting and product work based on cash levels is painfully familiar as well, and has certainly characterised much of my product development. I should have talked about it more explicitly.
Another factor not to dismiss is that cultures with arranged marriages also generally allow husbands to beat their wives. Therefore the marriage "works out"...or else.

Or put another way, you can find a standard by which the marriage worked out. But is it a relationship that the people involved would want to freely choose?

> Its an unfortunate system because steam isn't actually providing that much value

I have to heavily disagree with that.

Other than as you mentioned, the huge amount of eyeballs on all of their library content which you just won't get anywhere near close to. Along with people already having credit on their steam account so they can instantly buy a product without entering payment info.

There's also the distribution and update mechanisms which are such a huge win for the customer as well as developers.

I can also guarantee you, if Steam didn't exist, there would be other 'central store/repo's' that would absolutely be trying to enter this space. Providing an easy location for gamers looking to find new content. It's a win/win/win for all of Valve, Developers & Customers.

>but flawed journalism is better than no journalism.

I would disagree. Flawed journalism means things like mixing in lies in their news stories, mixing in opinion pieces into news etc. That kind of stuff can do more harm than good.

I mean, it’s obviously much more complicated, but that’s the gist of it.

Why would you assume that? I did a cursory GIS and Bing search, and somewhere between 1-5% of the returned images were bunless wieners.
I really don't get how JS on the client and the server is any real advantage - besides sharing some syntax, the models and paradigms are so drastically different it might as well be two different languages. Why make the server so bad when you don't have to? I think JS has its place despite it's flaws, but for the sake of sanity I can't imagine ever using it on the backend by choice. If you want the ease of express, use Flask.

If you can't write your backend in something else and use the same devs, you have bad devs. It's not that hard to pick up a language if you understand the concepts needed to write a client and a server.
Why is Accenture and PwC at all interesting to the audience you have? Just like the spectrum between "entry level" and "billable", there's a (vast) spectrum between "1 man band" and "Accenture". There are many 10-100 person consultancies, most of them lucrative, and none of them are run like Accenture is. I don't know many people who have attempted to start something on the scale of Accenture, but a whole bunch of people who have managed to get 10+-person practices off the ground.

Also: my whole point is that "previously cleaned spyware at Geek Squad" is kind of a silly hiring premise.
>The truth is that it's better for children if parents in a low-conflict marriage to stay together.

My siblings and I are all young adults in our twenties, but we've wanted our parents to divorce for years now. It's a toxic, abusive relationship that's only still existing because of the conservative Roman Catholic culture they were raised in.

I recently broke up with my girlfriend because I thought and still think she's a bad influence on me; I have no desire to hang out with her. I often wonder what happened when I see couples divorce due to "irreconcilable differences" or couples who remain civil or even friends after divorce.

As a child with parents in a high-conflict marriage, I'm not even clear why parents in a low-conflict marriage would want to get divorced.
It's often necessary to make all the native accessibility stuff work.

Sometimes new features come out which will immediately work well with native components, but which require a lot of reworking to work well with something custom. High DPI support is often an example of this.
Also, let me further point out this system was a 2kw system which isn't enough to fully be energy independent as a home owner. Sizes range in the 5kw to 8kw, at least in the USA. So, that would add additional money into the equation and only further emphasize my statement on 'that's exorbitant'.
I've spent alot of time thinking about this, and I've concluded with this:

Hire local people minimum wage to learn and teach each other coding structured around your company's codebase. Once they get to know the basics, have them work on your company's open source projects. Identify the ones who actively help others and convert them as a full time software engineer.

It takes an average person about 1 year to learn enough basics to contribute to a codebase, and paying someone minimum wage only costs about 30k / year so it works out financially on both sides.
Speed and no trivia / bullshit interview question. Interviews should be assessing me on the skills I’ll need to get the job done, not recanting some data structure or algorithm to solve a problem that’s unlike anything I’ll ever actually deal with.

Ask me about my past projects and decisions I made and mistakes I made and what I’d do differently. Sit down with me and actually code with me and get a feel for what that’s like. Ask me to how I’d design some actually realistic system, and drill into the details of each.

I shouldn’t have to train to pass an interview. Prepare, yes. Practice a bunch of problems unrelated to the job at hand, no thank you.
In most cases I'd agree, but essentially JS has gotten to the point that it's only usable if you write an entirely new language on top of it, like React/Vue/Angular have. All of them are basically to avoid the confusion that arises from the weird quirks of JS, like it's classes implementation. These languages then also try to integrate the few positives of JS into their paradigms, and IMO they are decently successful to the point of usability for a frontend.

Off topic: isn't this how user privacy works too though? People complain about companies like Google and Facebook "stealing their data," but it's their browsers sending out the data. If users don't want Google to have the data then they shouldn't send it to Google.

It was a rhetorical example about the extremes to which consulting can be processised, precisely to convey that there’s a huge spectrum in between. One often delineates things in extremes to demonstrate that something is, in principle, quite possible—-and indeed, to a very lucrative scale. I guess it didn’t read that way.

And yeah, hiring that way is stupid, don’t do that. This article was largely a list of things not to do. :-) An omitted premise is that I don’t (any longer) live in a market with a non-negligible concentration of IT talent. Not that it matters much; I spent the last decade in Atlanta and couldn’t have conceivably paid anything remotely resembling a decent IT salary even by those standards.
Missing the point. I shouldn't have to hide the primary means of accessing even the most basic functions of the software just to save unnecessarily-wasted vertical space.

At the very least, Office should then show a small context-sensitive toolbar (mini-ribbon?) or a sidebar; instead, the only recourses are either the inconsistent appearance of the floating palette that only appears when the stars are aligned with the user's mouse pointer or temporarily showing the Ribbon again.

It would be so hard to explain... if you ever travel to southern Europe (Italy, Spain) just take a look at how cities are structured. The cities have squares, benches, covered archways for strolling. Here you got strict separation, you're either in a park and you better be wanting to do some kind of sports, or you're in a commercial area. The closest thing you got is a mall (but no place to sit because it impacts revenue...).

Just take a look around next time you're over there and you'll see quite a different way of living. People hang out. You go out to meet your neighbors. The closest thing I've seen in this country is New York.
> forgetting to take off their shoes

It's hard enough to keep the floorboard gaps of my old wooden floor clean without somebody actively tracking more dirt in.
I find that unlikely. I mean, what if there are no brothers? If, for sake of argument we say there are always exactly two children per family (approximation for stable population size and if some brothers die or move), there's about a 50:50 chance that a woman won't even have a brother to help raise the children.

Seems super unlikely to be the "most common" (by number of societies) arrangement when it only can work like 50% of the time in a society that DOES decide to do it. Was your Anthropology professor pulling your leg?

The kernel's memory usage is typically pretty small, unless you're considering the page cache to be part of it.

Although: I once investigated a soft freeze on a realtime-patched Linux system that turned out to be caused by a vendor's software somehow managing to indefinitely stall an RCU grace period, eventually consuming all available memory on the system. The kernel core dump being over 4GB in size was a bit of a give-away.

Indeed. The lack of Chrome-like profiles keeps me off Firefox.

I want to have a profile for my work, and a personal profile. Chrome provides that, and Firefox, last time I checked, required multiple hoops to enable and also blocked me from having more than one open.

I would even contribute funding to that if Firefox had a "Fund this feature".

This isn't really about morality, because if were there would be a harm. Nobody is being harmed here. This is about technology, specifically content on the web. In technology the ability to do something absolutely is the right to so do unless you have already agreed otherwise.

If you really REALLY want to make this about morality then I would argue restricting access to available content is the greater moral offense, because it is an inherent violation of liberty.
Counterintuitively I think the problem with hiring is actually a problem with firing. Hear me out.

Everyone is so focused on finding this mythical perfect candidate, instead of giving people a chance. Which is really another way of saying "We're afraid to fire people."

Culturally, we should hire and fire more freely.

I once got a call from a company that said I was an absolute perfect fit for what they were doing-- would I consider a 6-month contract-to-hire? I had been in my job 10 years and told them no. They were so flabbergasted they called back and asked if I wouldn't consider it, that the CTH was simply to see if I was a "culture fit." I told them in plain language that if I was such a perfect candidate, they could hire me straight out. That I'd been in a job 10 years, was obviously happy, why would I jump ship so they could dangle employment as a carrot in front of me?

I can't tell you how many jobs I've not gotten because I didn't get some gotchya question-- or in some cases understood more than the person interviewing me.

The abusive hours need to end, as does the concept of "culture fit" which is just a proxy for age, race, religion, binger drinker status, etc.

We need to stop judging people and trying to feel better about ourselves by dismissing people who can't answer questions we just googled ourselves. Almost every company I've ever talked to claims they only hire the best candidates. That simply, cannot be true.

How is anyone supposed to grow if you can only get a job you're an expert in? And when what you're supposed to be an expert in changes every two years?

The answer is, culturally, you're not.

By thinking about the fuel efficiency of your diesel as somehow being relevant to the pollution zones shows you have made an error that is pretty commonplace.

One shouldn’t confuse fuel
efficiency with fewer emissions. Motorcycles for example are very fuel efficient for getting a person or two around without a lot of stuff as compared to a car, but they cause way more pollution per mile (which makes it even worse than measuring by per gallon, exactly because they are so fuel efficient, making it strikingly bad because to achieve worse emissions per mile, their emissions have to be truly extraordinarily bad).

(Yes, other commenter who wants to retort that the type of motorcycle matters, it’s true that it does. This is a general point about internal combustion engines where some motorcycles are being used as an example.)

Disclosure: using a throwaway giving the sensitive nature of the topic

I've always found very curious to not hear more about taxes in China.

It is a mystery to probably no one who have spent a certain amount of time in China that a very few amount of people are actually paying taxes. There is a few regular patterns on how they achieve evasion, but in short it is a mix of large amount of cash/cash payments, and close to 0 actions on whatever personal bank transactions.
The later has always amazed me. While some countries will start tracking each transfer > $1,000, Chinese banks will probably not even bother contacting you for a transaction of $10,000 (in RMB, foreign currencies being quite regulated) or even probably more.
And yes, you can buy a car or a house with this money, in Cash. No question asked. There are also some easy ways to use some complex/criminal networks of money laundering in order to get the RMBs out of China through shell companies often in tax heavens.

We all know that China's CCP is gathering a very consequent amount of data about virtually everyone entering the territory (or more). But they seem to struggle at implementing actions.

This would explain the government's efforts to reduce the amount of cash circulating in the country, and encouraging (via strong investments) mobile payments (wechat/alipay).
This would also explain the very short upcoming of the "social credit score" and I've found astonishing that no one every mentioned taxes on that matter.

Now, open list of [somewhat naive and genuine] questions:
- Where does the government's money comes from? [it appears to me to be mostly inflation, on an underlying crazy monster bubble]
- Can a government subsist with a population not paying taxes? [apparently not, i.e social credit score]
- How will the people react when they will realize they have to give away XX% of their pay when they never gave any $$?
- [last but not least] Is that somewhat comparable to, say, the US [or other western countries] few generations earlier? If yes, are we paying the bill for these generations? If yes, should we start worrying? [Are taxes going to keep raising indefinitely along with debt?]

I'm sorry for a not so organized answer but I wanted to express a few comments about things I've seen myself. The [] answers of the questions are personal guesses/notes and I would love to hear more accurate answers from people with better knowledge on the topic.
I'm actively making a generalization about a behavioral pattern I see playing out among an aggregate of people with regards to what they say with their actions vs. what they say with their words.

"I" doesn't make sense in that context. I could change it to "people" but I don't think I'm excluded from the behavioral pattern, so "we" it is.

I spent most of the last ten years in Atlanta and tried the full gamut of coworking, Meetup and networking options, which are extensive. But it’s very much as jwr said - very few of those people are truly flying by today’s bank balance, bootstrapped in the most literal (and perilous) sense possible, so nobody really understands where you are and presumes you have time for the same BS people with some kind of funding or employment do.

Plus, being in an obscure niche means nobody understands what you do, or much cares. Telephony ain’t sexy, and most specialised things that cater to very particular intra-industrial needs aren’t either. There is a small coterie of people in ATL with whom I can have fulfilling conversations about VoIP, and many of them are among my customers already. The chances of that happening at a generic business networking event are substantially zero.

So it’s not that one has literally nobody to talk to, anywhere. There just isn’t much of a support system given these two factors. It’s very rarefied, and one must develop a high tolerance for toiling in obscurity and the loneliness that comes with. Some developer types don’t mind that, I gather, but if you’re used to and generally enjoy working with humans, it’s really tough sometimes.

Not a problem at all :) For me, I am already in the cheapest neighborhood that is reasonably close and liveable to my job. I am not the world's most employable person, so I really have a hard time leaving stable jobs in search of higher paying ones.

I don't think I can directly answer your questions, but few facts:

3. Chinese consumption tax directly factored into the end product price, everyone is paying taxes everyday, they just don't feel it.
The line between disease/disorder and "unsatisfactory performance" is drawn somewhat arbitrarily. But in general, those patients with an ADHD diagnosis have much more to gain from "stimulants" than those who do not have this diagnosis.

The potential for abuse of a drug should not limit its appropriate use, though this happens all the time. Also, the safety of ADHD medication is quite well understood, and even the long-term effects seem to be less than the disadvantages of the disorder itself. There may still be a lot of room for exact quantification, but at the moment it looks like ADHD medication is a "good deal" in general.
I have a few guesses here. Firstly because the CCP is quite old Mao-style structure, old and bureaucratic. Lots of "regulations", little actions.

Other guesses like it's being setup, they're trying to avoid mass reactions from people, etc.
