The first thing I would do is say that someone must spent at least two years on the ground in the country they're trying to "help". They shouldn't "do" anything for those two years, just live with the local people and observe and learn.

I honestly think that anyone that doesn't actually live there on the ground doesn't have the faintest clue how to help, or what is even actually needed.

Also, the very idea that "help" is even required becomes quite strange after you've lived there a while. Certainly giving money helps nothing, very likely makes it worse.

Maybe training. Maybe education (but that will be very church or western oriented, so it's dangerous).

Maybe the best approach is to let people figure things out for themselves, and come up with their own solutions to problems. Maybe we could just offer some advice or pointers from time to time, if asked.
Well to be honest, I once had an interview (and got the job) where I had to use a Mac for the programming test.

It was a rather annoying experience when you are not used to it and some of your time does get lost fighting with the system.

In this case, I do think it was a good thing because everyone in the company had to work on a mac. I do believe it's not a reason to complain, just work with the tools you get, but it might impact their performance a bit
I suppose the mutual building societies in the UK aren't very far from this idea as well, although there aren't many left now. Also Vanguard.

I can feel intensely alive and happy after having produced something, be it a nice piece of code, a short story that people might want to read or a meal that my friends enjoy. There are other surefire ways I can trigger happiness in myself (sex, drugs, exercise, to name some) but the resulting "high" feels more artificial to me.

I don't know if the Academie is racist, but one of the most famous immortals is Leopold Sedar Senghor, a Senegalese poet and politician, elected in 1983. Only 20 years after the end of the segregation in the US.
It's interesting that apparently this effect you describe doesn't seem to apply just as simply as we'd expect, however convincing it sounds.

At least according to the book "Drive" by Daniel Pink (2011), for any cognitively demanding work, financial incentives have a counter-productive effect. People literally become less smart by dangling the money carrot in front of them.

I guess that wouldn't imply that people being just plain lazy are accepted, but I feel that's a different discussion.

The book concludes with recommending that cognitively demanding work should be rewarded loosely adequately, and then get the whole topic out of sight, in favor focus on the interesting work.

It seems that an excellent predictor of policy in SF is: will it increase inequality and the advantage of the very rich while being presented with liberal rhetoric? Then do it. This is a great way to keep smart but poor kids from competing with private school kids.
"I have another offer, can you matched? or I'll leave"

Using a strategy like this can work but it also carries the risk that your employer will just say "Bye then." Everyone is replaceable. If you like your current role or you don't actually have another job to go to I wouldn't use this approach. Instead, try to overcome your shyness and just ask. It only requires a one line email to initiate the conversation (eg 'I would like to schedule a meeting to talk about my current salary.'). The simple fact is retaining a good employee is far cheaper than hiring a new one, so most managers are happy to chat about it.

Alternatively, find a job at a company like Basecamp, where everyone gets the same salary for doing the same job and raises are calculated by looking at whole market for the role and increasing everyone's salary to be in the top 10% of the going rate. Basecamp employees effectively get Bay Area wages regardless of where they live without needing to be good negotiators. It's an good model that I hope more companies adopt.

I'm pretty sure IME updates take care of it just fine... when I woke up this morning and tried out Microsoft's Japanese IME after finding out the new era name, れいわ became 令和 on the first try - no messing around with the "misconversion" data necessary.

Despite that, Gboard's Japanese version hasn't caught up yet, but I imagine that'll be updated fairly quickly, either manually or OTA.
The best way to find out if a company values your work enough to offer you a raise is to interview for other jobs, get an offer and hand in your notice. They'll soon offer you an increase if they want you to stay. It puts you in a strong negotiating position too.

Your profile says "Data scientist working on one of the big four".

Typically at a big corporation, you get raises at the designated annual review cycle. Those raises are adjusted inside of Human Resources' pre-defined "salary bands" for your title.

If you want to get a raise outside of the annual review, or get raises higher than your band's ceiling, you either...

- Get a promotion. This means you need to demonstrate to managers that you can take on more responsibility and want to be compensated higher for it.

- Get another job offer with a higher salary. The company may match or exceed it. Or they may not.

Either way, you have to convince your manager to go to bat for you so the company will approve your raise.
I would have assumed for it as the EU is clearly another form of centralised government and favours businesses that trade across borders so are larger. But when it comes to Brexit all bets are off.

Not sure where I read it (perhaps "Hire with your head" by Lou Adler) but asking to match salary might not be the way to go. If you (think you) know how much you should be making then ask for that, perhaps adding a bit to it to have room for bargaining.

You should also know why you are staying (do you actually want to continue? is it still exciting to you?), if yes, then it will be much easier to explain what you have to offer. Otherwise, even if you should get more when compared to others, you might feel teethless when asking for it.
The Académie is much more au fait with modern French than you think it is.

This communication, from 2001, on the future of the French language for example http://www.academie-francaise.fr/lavenir-de-la-langue-franca... talks at length about verlan. Just to translate a small excerpt:

A language that stays still is a dying language. Ours is enriching in proportions never seen before. What the 21th century will bring us is verlan. It would be useless to fight it, as oral language has always preceded written language.

I think the Académie is much more competent than many people here think it is.
What are the egg donation option in Kenya?
Ahah yes, verlan is quite common for certain words for certain people. But nobody thinks it is legit french. It's like using terms like "doggo", "boi" or "nite" in english.
I'll judge them all the same because it's not illegal to give someone feedback. Unless you have discriminatory hiring practices in which case the judgement holds true, or your legal team is so far up their own and everybody else's ass, the judgement still holds true.

I've seen it done (multiple times).

I worked for a set top box manufacturer where the lead engineer wrote an OS and a GUI system, from scratch, for our platform in less than a year. It had a bunch of syscall personalities. One for vxworks so we could port stuff from our existing platform and one for Linux so that people could write drivers for it based on the O'Reilly Linux device drivers book (which was current at the time). It also had a couple of others for odd things that we needed.
It was incredibly well written. It only took me a couple of weeks to port it to PowerPC and the first week of that was just phaffing getting my cross compiler working properly.

In contrast, we had another couple of programmers trying to write a web browser for that platform. After a year they had something that could render primitive web pages but there was still a good chunk of the web that didn't work "quite right". After two years they were still in a similar position.

Operating systems are a dark art, and the person who wrote Serenity is very talented, but OSes are, at least, a tractable and well defined problem.

I recently had to parse string-based temperature readings coming in over UART (e.g. 25.4C), and I forgot to include the leading minus character in my regular expression. I think generative testing is a great option here if you run the regex "in reverse".
It is still technically more advanced and looks better than the vast majority of indie games and my point was that if something like Doom 3 (or Rage) can be made using OpenGL 1.5+exts (or OpenGL 2.0+exts, for Rage) then OpenGL 4.1+exts that macOS provides is more than enough for a ton of games.

Yeah, it'd be nice if macOS supported OpenGL 4.6 and even better if Apple wasn't braindead enough to deprecate OpenGL instead of fixing one of the worst implementations (and still the only that has the core/compatibility divide that makes matters even worse), but even with all that taken into account, OpenGL on macOS is still capable enough for almost every game bar the more high end ones.
This is going to be more or less my strategy when I ask (rather soon). I do love working where I am. The only problem is that other offers are starting to come in, and I know that they'll be offering a lot more money. :(
Totally agree. Hat off.
I don’t think this can work on a larger scale. If you pay a doctor the same as you pay a medical technician, who is going to go through 4 years of med school? Some sure, for the love of it, and those will be the best. But we already get those. It seems to me that this company can exist, because everyone else has created the market that creates more developers. If everyone else did the same, everyone would already be scrambling for just as many devs out of a much smaller pool.
It appears wasteful. Being deadlocked, spending multiples of $100k on ceremonies. The group should be promoting the language and getting people excited about it's use. Instead, French speakers feel guilty when they say 'email' instead of 'courriel' because an ineffectual body refused to admit an Englishism into the language. This holds the language back. Languages are fluid, living breathing things and that aspect should be promoted.

The capture the state part seems to be spot on. You just need to take a look at how much lobbying goes on and our inability to deal with issues like climate change thanks to the big oil companies.
Man I was thinking last week that something like this based on git or pijul would be a better backend for kubernetes than Etcd is.
From my own experience, (so take it with a pinch of salt!) the difference can be a constant loop of reflection and evaluation - is this the most effective thing to do now? And taking time to actually evaluate why I'm doing what I'm doing.
Since the graduates of SF public schools are expected to leave the city and make room for wealthier folks, the use they will still have for the city is as ambassadors of San Francisco's political views to the rest of the country, where they will be able to afford to live.
At least he is making it open, governments won't. While this is worrying, it is inevitable (satellite surveillance, road cameras etc - everything is in place, it's just about time), so I'm happy we're getting it this way and start working on learning to live with it. I'd hate to have to learn how to live under an oppressive government again (I'm from a former eastern bloc country), so this is definitely welcomed by me - this way I can keep track of the secret police.
It is a very emotional subject, so beware that both parties are prone to making mistakes at this stage.

Go discreetly, say "Hi, I need a raise, please consider this amount and tell me if this is acceptable." and pass a paper with the amount written on it.

Anything more or less will be unprofessional and will probably lead to more headaches than needed.
The Soviet Union, and all of these other states explicitly claimed not to be communist exactly as justification for the existence of a strong state, and to argue that the differences and oppression was "necessary" to lead their countries towards a hypothetical future communism. For a very good reason: One of Lenins big theorethical claims to fame is a work (State and the Revolution) where he argues strongly for Marx view that under communism the state is superfluous and will "whither away".

Whether or not one agrees that these countries were socialist (depends greatly on ones definition of socialism, but e.g. Marx argued that socialism was not a single ideology, but used it as a vague catch-all term and proceeded to criticise forms of socialism he saw as flawed or outright oppressive and reactionary; Engels later pointed out that they could never have written a "Socialist Manifesto" in 1848 because the term was used by too many people they strongly disagreed with, and was not radical enough), or whether or not they were trying to achieve communism, all of them at one time or other argued they were far away from achieving communism.

Point being that you have your terms reversed at very best. Communism implies the class struggle has ended, and a central idea of Marxism is that the state only exists as a political power for one class to oppress another, and that as a consequence ending the class struggle would make the state superfluous.

Under a purely Marxist view "the state" owning the means of production might represent a reasonable immediate outcome of a socialist revolution. With the caveat that in his works on the Paris Commune, Marx hailed the Commune as a demonstration of how a workers state could be the outcome of destroying the capitalist state, and criticised the Commune mostly for one thing: For not going far enough in destroying the older state to replace it with directly elected and recallable delegates.

But there are many other socialist ideologies as well, that do not ascribe to state ownership of the means of production - Marx wrote about some of them himself in the Communist Manifesto and elsewhere, it's not quite right to delineate them that way either. Marx never did.

In fact that separation of socialism and communism comes from the Bolsheviks seeking to justify their oppressive state with a "but we've only reached socialism so far" defense.

It doesn't but it would continue buying for longer if the price went significantly and permanently up. But the point of this whole thread is that labor isn't just another commodity like aluminum. It's a special, weird thing and the market in it is just different and probably less "efficient" than the markets for metals and grain. The question isn't "how can we best model this using our existing theory?" It's "what is the best way to model this?", so if the existing theory isn't very helpful, we should look for new ones that are better.
Dunno if it's still "all the rage" but I've been using nothing else on some of my machines for at least 7 years, because I've not found another screen saver that I liked more. Otherwise I'll just go for blank=black.

I spent many years with a PC emulator (my other GH repo) being my only main hobby project. It's a reasonably correct 80386 with various peripherals and a BIOS. This project allowed me to take 80% of the skills acquired from the emulator, turn them inside out, and build an operating system from them. Of course, Serenity eventually outgrew the limitations of my emulator (no networking, no FPU, no VESA LFB...) and I've stopped trying to catch up for now.

Other than that, the OSDev.org wiki has been immensely helpful at times, and the vast number of open source operating systems you can look at for help/inspiration when stuck. :)

No, a form of P-code that was Microsoft specific.

Every measurement you make that is advertised will change behaviour. It is very important when making measurements to take that into consideration. Similarly, there is a difference between measurements and metrics. A measurement is simply a measure of something. A metric is a measurement that you make that is fed back into the process improvement cycle: in other words it is a measurement you make to drive changes to the official process.

Things like targets or published measurements that have no particular purpose in your process improvement cycle are risky because they will change behaviour in undefined ways. You should always avoid them if you can.

Measurements should be taken in order to answer a question. You should avoid taking measurements if you have no questions. Similarly, you should try to measure the minimum that you can that will answer your question. This will minimise the change in behaviour.

Before you can have metrics you need a defined process (because by definition a metric is a measurement that is used to change your defined process). Avoid taking metrics when you are unsure of your existing process. When you change your process as a result of a metric, use measurements to answer the question, "Did we affect things we didn't expect to affect". If the answer is "Yes", then take more measurements to answer the question, "Is this change something we need to do something about".

In this way you will be able to control your process. One last thing. Do not attempt to protect against gaming other than to not measure things. People naturally optimise and will do it whether they are aware of it or not. Simply observe the effect of your measurements and decide if they are what you want. If not, then remove the measurement.
How do you monitor encrypted digital communication?
It does raise an interesting question though. If the system kept a lid on the size of the computer companies in the nineties how would a business like Apple accumulate enough capital to fund the development of a product like the iPhone. We might all still be playing Snake on our dumb phones.
This works really well, but you need to have an actual offer for this to work.

Otherwise it's a bluff and if they call it, you end up with the same salary and on a list of unreliable employees.

Obviously, you need to be very tactful and polite when asking for a raise, and generally blame it on financial/life circumstances beyond your control that force you to look at other companies despite of really liking it here and never wanting to leave otherwise... or some such.

Probably because pinging 127.0.0.1 is actually cheating. I don't have a loopback network interface inside Serenity, instead pinging "127.0.0.1" will go through QEMU's SLiRP backend, ping lo0 on my host machine and then plumb the response back.

I didn't think of this when making the video, I simply typed "ping 127.0.0.1" out of some reflex. So basically, I need to make a loopback interface. Putting that on my TODO list, thanks for noticing this!
This -- you'd expect that actively managed funds would start, on average, to give better performance than the low-cost passive indexes.
