Not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but if your project have that many dependencies not wonder it is hard to port anywhere.
If you live in a medium sized city, probably within the hour and within walking distance of your house, an African person walked into a store covered in colorful signs advertising phone cards, cheap plane fares and bus tickets, and sent half of their week's paycheck to their family somewhere in Africa.

This is not only not a mystery, but common, and individual remittances from emigrant relatives are a major consideration in the economies of some underdeveloped countries.

If people with severe autism don’t make it into management, isn’t it likely that the bell curve is shifted versus neurotypical people on who can be a good manager? Wouldn’t this also imply that an autistic manager is more likely to be a worse manager than a neurotypical person? (Just considering the statistical distributions).

Of course, this doesn’t have anything to do with you (according to your post, you seem like a good manager), I’m talking about the statistical distributions.

And while I understand why someone might get offended by a statement of the form: short people are slower than average at running when you are a short person who runs very fast, I am just describing the distribution (in which any individual could be an outlier), not an affirmative statement like: there does not exist an autistic person who is also a good manager.
This conversation, while interesting, is no longer connected with Heinlein and increasingly farther from something I can meaningful contribute to.

To bring it back to Heinlein, a quote from "Space Cadet":

As someone who has watched TLO play, that's pretty awesome.

I think your portfolio looks pretty good! I think the trick is really a good cover letter or way to get attention before they look at your portfolio. If you say why you're a good fit, and how you would like to work for them, and why, and how you can help them with your skills, then they look at your portfolio, I think you'll have a better chance. I personally think the hardest step is the first one, because if a company has a lot of people applying, the manager might only look over your resume/portfolio for a minute or two, and might not even be fully paying attention when they do.

Building something and showing it off is still way ahead of most people, even if you are a bit embarrassed about a lack of polish. That's what the artists are for! Good luck!

> Maybe I'm just really dumb, but can't anyone sued in this court just appeal to a higher court that isn't run by renegade turds?

Only after the expense of trial (and some people see the Federal Circuit, which hears all patent appeals, as being run by renegades, too), and the appeals process is deferential to the trial court in a number of ways, so this is time consuming, expensive, and still doesn't undo completely any tilt from the trial court.

> The neat thing about nuclear weapons is that if you only care about self defense, you don’t need anything else.

Nuclear weapons have no proportionality, so it's bad to rely on them for defense. If you do rely on them, you're either going to start WWIII over a border skirmish, or your enemy is going to chip away at you because you won't.

All good. If you haven't seen it, the movie version of Ask The Dust by John Fante (one of Bukowskis idols) was also enlightening. There's a lot of attention being paid to the novels in this thread. His most impactful stuff was the poetry, though. Novels paid the bills, AFAIU.

Not necessarily. Facebook just needs to have associated the email you know with their profile somehow. They can do this silently, thanks to their tracking. There was a thread about it on HN a few weeks ago ok another facebook story.
This is good advice. I had to interview a few people while I was in the game industry that I was given about 10 minutes notice about before I had to go in there.

>International trade has perfectly good mechanisms for dealing with this at present. See: Letters of Credit.

This works until you deal with a subject matter that (some) banks don't like or with people that (some) financial institutions don't like. It's entirely possible to be banned from Visa and MasterCard's services and this can sometimes mean that banks simply won't do business with you. Sometimes it's the subject matter you're dealing with that can be banned, eg certain types of (legal) porn.

>Probably still illegal to do business with you if the government has outlawed work with specific sanctioned countries, etc. Also, letters of credit.

He didn't say that the government has outlawed doing business with the country. He said that the government treats people from that country much more harshly. This would mean that businesses wouldn't want to do business with people from that country. Letters of credit don't work if the other country's banks aren't interested in dealing with businesses from your country.

War story time. File based encryption[1] (which used ext4 encryption) was supposed to have been released with Android M. It slipped by a full year because of this issue which Linus identified. At the time, we didn't have xfstests ported over so it could run in an Android/Bionic environment. So the only way I could test it was by taking the SOC kernel to which we had backported ext4 encryption, bashing it hard enough so it would compile on x86 again, all the while cursing the SOC vendor who had added "value added features" to their SOC kernel in a completely broken way such that the kernel would no longer build on x86, let alone boot on it, and then test the ext4 encryption feature backported to the Android kernel on x86 using kvm-xfstests (this was before gce-xfstests[2]). Unfortunately there was an ARM specific bug that we couldn't catch while testing on x86, and it showed up only when we were dogfooding the feature on two testers' phones. We couldn't reliable repro it on our development phones before the ZBB deadline. So we ultimately ended up having the pull the feature and wait a full calendar year for Android N because we could launch it.

As a result, a colleague developed android-xfstests[3] so we could actually do the necessary testing on an ARM platform. If we had this at the time when we were first trying to launch File Based Encryption for Android, it would have avoided a huge amount of hair pulling.

>(As for "food on the table", lower income people "invest" in lottery tickets. They clearly do have discretionary income.)

The information in the article shows that they're largely correct; A disproportionate amount of compensation goes to a small number of people - and that amount is so skewed that it can't possibly be based on performance.

Yes, and perhaps they'll even continue on that path if it is really an attractor.

But there are two motte-and-bailey terms in the above comment - "ahead" and "AI".

If we're only talking about the narrow scope of China being ahead in AI, with "AI" meaning predicting outliers from large populations, then that is not so worrisome! Google (et al) can simply buy the better population surveillance technology from China and apply it to their own business, as the US will still be generally ahead.

But rather such talk seems to be aimed at invoking a worry that a lack of individual rights means China will succeed at a more generally useful "AI" (whatever that means), and that it will then be applied to their economy to get them "ahead" in general. This is the underlying idea I am addressing.

>But that's where small-claims court comes in. It mostly only costs you your time, you aren't really allowed to bring in a lawyer to argue on your behalf, etc. etc.

This is such a US-centric answer it hurts. Small claims court doesn't mean anything when the other entity isn't even in your country. If you and I make a contract and you flake on it then I have no reasonable legal recourse because an international lawsuit is way too expensive for me.
What a great site. Reminds me of the old small Internet where you could find interesting divisions and passion sites like this. It is also very modern, littered with one weird click style ads.

Software is versioned in numerical order which is pretty intuitive. At a glance it's clear which versions are minor updates, and which are major.

Cars are versioned by year/model, which again makes it pretty clear to understand minor/major updates. Sometimes significant updates are introduced in a model year, but generally the core features remain the same and it could still be considered an upgrade to that model.

Without a clear and intuitive versioning scheme it can be confusing and time consuming to make sense of a product line. And that gets frustrating if it keeps changing.

David Orr has been flinging the same mud at Bukowski and Bukowski's posthumous publications for years now.

He's been using the same exact jabs and barbs for more than a dozen years.

An example, in this 2019 review he writes:

> At this point, new books by Bukowski tend to be pretty old. Bukowski’s publisher has issued something like 20 volumes from “Buk” since the writer’s death in 1994, frequently with large chunks of them scavenged from previously published writing. The many recycled poems, letters and prose fragments in “On Drinking” follow previous collections including “On Cats” and “On Love” and “On Writing,” with “On Cats Who Love Drinking and Writing” presumably waiting in the wings.

In 2006, for a humor issue of _Poetry_ [1], he wrote a review titled:

> Reviewed Work: Charles Bukowski: Drafts, Scribbles, Doodles, Signed Leases, Cancelled Checks, Drawings on Cocktail Napkins, Things He Wrote on a Nerf Football with a Green Marker, Things He Wrote on a Waitress in Tulsa with the Same Green Marker, Things He Wrote (Possibly in Blood) on an Issue of Marie Claire, Things He Wrote (Possibly in Vomit) on a Copy of X-Men vs. the Fantastic Four No. 3, and Sestinas by Charles Bukowski

in which he goes on to write:

> If you've seen the 9,473 Charles Bukowski collections currently for sale in Barnes & Noble, you probably wondered, along with the rest of the poetry world, when we'd finally be given a full picture of this major artist by his choosy publisher. Sadly, this isn't it. Missing,
for example, are five poems known to have been written by "Buk" on scraps of toilet paper during a binge in Sante Fe

Repeating the same lame 'here's a long title to show my displeasure at the amount of posthumous material that is being published because for some reason it is personally irritating to me just how prolific Bukowski actually was' joke for more than a dozen years is pretty hackneyed.

It almost seems like he's just rewriting the 2006 review here and adding some concern trolling about drunk driving.

Some junior developers I have worked with are grossly incompetent even with a CS degree from well respected schools because they treat their education as a trade school, ignore the standards that govern their profession/technology, and are utterly reliant on unnecessary abstractions to write any code at all. The negligence is so common it has names like imposter syndrome.

I wonder if an educational program like this is far superior. I would be curious to hear about the results.

If you are teaching JavaScript and client-side skill I recommend teaching the standard DOM methods and how to efficiently “walk the DOM”. It is becoming a lost art, but there is no alternative. The DOM methods remain the only true standard to access markup as everything else is an abstraction that compiles down to that at an incredible performance cost. It’s little things like that that add up over time that crush an application and complicate what are otherwise quick and simple architectural decisions. I am biased because that kind of standards based approach has made me more employable.

It's useful to have a concept like "nature" to help describe humans' impact on our environment, for sure.

I think it's probably less useful when trying to determine what humans should do or expressing a value judgement on human behavior. I'm not necessarily convinced that the "natural" state of something is better than some alternative that humans might come up with.

I don't think you need to invoke "nature" to make the points you mention above. We can talk about the mental health benefits of being outside, or among trees, or just in a peaceful environment in general. We can talk about reversing global warming in many more practical ways: humanitarian, economic, as a conservation issue, etc.

"Nature" is a catch-all term, and its useful in that context, but if interpreted as an inherent good it can be misused to support racism, pseudomedicine, and other really bad stuff. Since it's not necessary to make a case for the good stuff, and it can be a big part of the case for lots of bad stuff, it might be worth making the effort to be more precise.
