I don't buy it. FAANG pays X, so other companies know they need to pay 1.3X to hire FAANG level engineers. So the info sharing may help FAANG collude, but it won't suppress wages for those who can be poached from FAANG. That's assuming there aren't any behind the scenes no-poaching agreements.

> There are some cars that use the car (not alarm) horn when locking

Every GM vehicle I have ever owned honks (via the car's horns) on the 2nd lock.

(a) there is not a seperate alarm horn (b) removing the horn, also disables the 2nd lock honk.
I can't imagine how cutting a cube would not involve a crosscut as the final cut e.g. perpendicular operation of the material. This type of cut would ideally be done with a sled not a fence, so unless I'm really misunderstanding it was probably a major error in technique selection that caused this incident.
> Is this person, relatively young for CFO, in a position to stand up to Musk? Is this person going to be just a yes man so to speak?

My guess: Musk would be more likely to listen to someone who knows the company inside and out and has been with them for years, as opposed to a qualified outsider.
There are, but the cost of building thousands of miles of rails out of it would be incredibly prohibitive.
Yes, or at least make sure that they actually want to learn before going down that path.
Depending on the type of cut, I'll either use my hand, a push block, a push stick or something like the Grr-ripper to make a cut on the table saw.

The Grr-ripper is what I use the least, but it is one of the options that is really irreplaceable. For example if I have a long thin piece of wood (say 2' long x 2" wide x 0.25" thick), and I want to rip it into 0.5" strips, then the only way to safely make this cut is with something like the Grr-ripper. It is the only way to get grip on a thin piece of material and allow me to put pressure in the appropriate places (downward, towards the fence and through the saw).

But keep in mind in this specific example that the stock is not very wide. If you have a 6" piece of stock and are cutting off 0.5" strips, then by far the safer way to do it is to keep the bulk of the material between the fence and the blade and have the off-cut be the thin strip (and there are a variety of ways to setup your saws to do this cut repeatably). In this example the wood is also very thin, which is important. If the wood is thicker then the danger of ripping on the table saws increases, because there is more surface area between the blade and the wood, and at some point I'll just go over the bandsaw, rip things to rough size and then clean them up on the drum sander.

I'm also a huge fan of the grr-ripper rip block for the jointer. I use it all the time for thinner stock where I don't feel there is enough distance between my hands and the blades.

There's no obvious reason he couldn't do this job. Executive roles are very culturally sensitive, and this guy knows the firm.

Given decreasing margin returns to experience, how much more experience does he need?

The guy who turned around LEGO was also in his 30s when he took over, seemed to go fine.

In case you're wondering whether I think everyone in their 30s can take a leading role, I think there's a fair chance assuming the person has been exposed to some management content.
And on a more general note - let's leave the misunderstanding to the separate thread - I'm glad you liked the books! I'm not saying you can't enjoy them - far from it - but if your goal is to just learn Racket quickly (where I interpreted "experienced dev" as "short on time working adult") then they are not the best resource for that. SICP is not even about Racket at all and RoR includes a lot of introductory material you wouldn't need. Instead of learning by accident, ie. reading weakly related material and hoping that an understanding will somehow form (which seemed to be default mode in education), I prefer using materials which are strictly on topic and are dense enough to be efficiently absorbed, but not so dense that it takes a day to go from one page to another. And to that my answer is: Wiki, tutorial&cheatsheet and the docs.

What is obvious is that YMMV - I'm just saying what I'd do if I wanted to efficiently learn Racket today. That's it.
Are people really running into such terrible scaling issues with their session database that the solution is to ditch it and use an entirely different authentication strategy? It's not like we haven't been scaling databases for decades!

I agree that persisting the JWT means you may as well be using a session, but my takeaway from that is that you should just use a session, not come up with more weird workarounds to justify JWTs.

Second this. It’s super hard to imagine in what ways things can go wrong before you have seen or experienced them.

I'm not so sure... plenty of software engineers will gladly accept less than X to NOT work at a FAANG company.
This makes no sense. We mandated airbags and safety belts in cars and we should mandate SawStop or similar in tools like this. To me that's what "advanced" societies do and I call it progress. The cost will also go down with higher volumes.

I used to work for a chainsaw manufacturer and we had devices on all saws without exception that would prevent injury in case of a kickback. Once this is part of all designs the cost is negligible.
Thanks, I was not aware that Wikipedia mentions David Tesařík.

From what I can see in Wikipedia article, there is nothing about David Tesařík's legal dispute with Le Roux, actually it says that Le Roux had a dispute with SecurStar (a company which wanted to develop commercial disc encryption system).

Team member David Tesařík stated that Le Roux informed the team that there was a legal dispute between himself and SecurStar, and that he had received legal advice not to comment on the case. Because of this, he was unable to confirm or deny the legitimacy of TrueCrypt, keeping its development in limbo.[13][14] A new version was released in June,[15] but with a different digital signature and the developers now being referred to as "the TrueCrypt Foundation". The project received funding, the source of which is equally unclear.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Le_Roux

Altogether, it is still unclear how much Le Roux participated in TrueCrypt development (except E4M legacy), but it is clear that David Tesařík was one of the main developers of TrueCrypt

If soviet union would have done that to west Germany, they would have had full load of US made ICBM's raining on Moscow about one hour after first detonation.

Nuclear weapons (like almost all military weapons) are about A. threatening B. revenging. These are commonly called first strike and second strike.

U.S. currently builds B21 stealth bombers that can carry nuclear weapons, because the B2 has proved to be useful type of threatening tool. Such planes fly undetected in various airspaces and drop conventional bombs to countries who don't have nukes. The message is "we could nuke you and you would not know until it hit you, keep in line peasants". If you didn't want to send that message, you could use either non-nuclear rated stealth bomber or you could use non-stealth bomber.

The second strike is hardened ICBM's in hardened bunkers. Idea is that when the infrared signature of enemy ICBM booster-phase is detected, you have about one hour time to pray and have sex and whatnot. So you use that time to launch your own ICBM's to revenge the impending doom. Because each side knows this revenge is coming, you are not very likely to see nuclear exchange between ICBM sporting states. You are quite unlikely to see any kind of exchange to be accurate.

In case you just spot detonation, you can assume that enemy bomber has gotten through, so you might just as well again launch your ICBM's. The suspects of a launch are usually well known because enriching arms grade nuclear matter is very hard to do undetected.

So Wolkswagen is not suitable because the enemy does not have time to feel threatened. And if you start your wolkswagen engine when nukes are raining, you are already several days late from your revenge mission.
Is it a lot more complicated? Conceptually, prepared statements are ASTs with "holes" in them, right?
It's a little more complicated than that. Even with a riving knife, you can still get kickback if your blade isn't aligned properly -- and most cheaper saws need a tune-up before being used.

The new backed is overall faster according to that post. In addition, looking at raw Chez, the results are even more one-sided. Chez is always faster and often 2-8x faster. New racket is usually faster and where it isn't is mostly due to new IO. Sure, compile times get bigger -- Chez is doing way more optimization passes than Racket (Chez is the only scheme I know of that can get close to SBCL in performance).

According to them, fixing things takes much less time and is much easier to understand. For a system where lots of development is free, ease of understanding and fixing is extremely important.

> But I do know that I the main thing holding me back from investing more development time in Racket is its poor performance compared to languages like PHP, Python or Go

Racket is slower than Go because racket is dynamically typed, is a much higher-level language, and has to implement continuations. Racket is much faster than python or PHP.

My big issue with racket is dev tools. DrRacket isn't very good IMO. They need to make a server that implements the Language Server Protocol with some additional hooks for more dynamic lisp stuff. At that point, devs can choose to use all kinds of actually good editors (sublime, VS Code, Vim, Emacs, IntelliJ, etc) for coding. They can even add the LSP to DrRacket and continue to use it.

I lived in India for a year and I remember this experience very well! Essentially nothing would change during the day on British/American news sites, and I had no interest in domestic news.
I enjoyed the book, but when I was done, it felt like it really could have been a blog post. In fact, I pointed people on my team at some summaries of it, and then said if they need more, read the book....
The title of the talk is a bit misleading, since it's really all about teaching young people in a classroom setting with assignments and credit. Which happens to be very relevant to me personally right now, but doesn't at all help if what you want to do is get your nana to provide more enlightening diagnostic feedback with her tech problems.

This talk does seem to confirm a lot of the things I've suspected about teaching tech, specifically that vocabulary has to come first, to give students the language to describe what they want and the problems they're having, and to give them the mental hooks to hang concepts and practice from.
And... I'm backing up my data right now...
Well, the well documented biases in the existing system are exactly why you might think that AIs would be a good idea.
In Lille, France, the automated guided «metro» public transport VAL206[0] is known to block openning of some cars brands.

As it's aerial, in some places it's above ground with, you guessed it, car parks below it.

The tow trucks make a killing with it because you (or your insurance...) pay a full towing charge but your car only need to be towed like 5m for it to open again.

Funnily enough, the RF interference does not prevent closing of the cars, only opening :)

I'm not sure we can call the Vietnam war an exercise in contention:

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Freedom_Deal#Cambodi...:

"U.S. bombing of Cambodia extended over the entire eastern one-half of the country and was especially intense in the heavily populated southeastern one-quarter of the country, including a wide ring surrounding the largest city of Phnom Penh. In large areas, according to maps of U.S. bombing sites, it appears that nearly every square mile of land was hit by bombs with roughly 500,000 tons of bombs dropped. [..]"
You're correct to remember this from Catch-22, but the author of that book was Joseph Heller. Vonnegut's (afaik only) WWII book was Slaughterhouse Five.

>> Medical boards don't control residency programs, hospitals and the federal government do.

Medical boards are the only ones who can train and grant residencies. The US Government cannot train nor can they grant someone a residency. Nor can the US Government grant someone a fellowship. As an example, to become a "Fellow of American College of Surgeons" you would apply here: https://www.facs.org/member-services/join/international
The cartel then decides who gets to join the select group. There are three dozen such cartels, one for dermatology, one for radiology, etc etc. Nowhere in the process noted on the link does it specify the US government gets to decide membership.

The government can fund it, but anyone can fund it. The funding is minuscule -- the 2017 resident salary is $57k a single digit percentage of billings by residents.

Asimov always admitted to loving locked room mysteries (he wrote some great non-sci-fi mystery works, too), and the Three Laws were a fascinating "locked room" to build mysteries in. People seem to always remember all of the people in the stories that believed the Three Laws infallible, but not all the "murders" that took place in that locked room that pretty much showed that they were not infallible and gave us a plot for an enjoyable story to read.

I agree but it takes 5 minutes to write an article about how 'terrifying' the latest tweet is by the president and that article will generate a lot of clicks to have a high margin on return so I don't expect to see this stuff go away.

They're a business and have to publish articles to make money and can't just sit on every thing waiting for a big story so I understand. I think all you can do is just ignore it.

Sperber is an amazing speaker and fantastic programmer. This is a great talk. He'll be talking about similar things at Racketfest, the Racket conference I'm currently organizing (https://racketfest.com).

Hey Meetuu, I'm happy you've been able to find and fashion yourself a solution to these problems you've experienced.

AFAICT SawStop's patents (seems to primarily hinge on US patents 7,895,927 and 8,011,279) are only valid in the US. Also, when Bosch tried their "Reaxx" branded competitor, it was only launched in the US.

The official reply from Bosch when people asked on their forum about bringing the Reaxx to Europe was

"""
There are currently no plans to bring the Reaxx to the European market simply due to differences in health and safety regulations across the two continents.
"""

My reading of this is that as long as people in Europe follow local H&S regulations, this technology is redundant. And they're not going to sell tools with features that enable people to disregard H&S regs.

I've had a similar experience making an FM transmitter. I used a small air coil inductor that wasn't well secured to the PCB as part of the resonating circuit. My FM tuner would pick up ambient noise since the small sound vibrations would ever so slightly change the size of the inductor, modulating the frequency. Ceramic capacitors also have this problem. The small metal 'fingers' are susceptible to vibrations which change the plate distances, and thus the capacitance. Use your imagination to think about cases when this might be of interest for certain groups!
