I wish I had bought a vanity domain sooner, mostly for the web hosting flexibility, but also for the email (despite the pain of getting past Gmail's spam filter). It's mostly stock Wordpress, but it gets the job done, while only looking slightly dated.

I went with ".com," not because it was a commercial site (it isn't), but because most people assume that all URLs end in ".com," so ".net" or ".org" would have been confusing. I can tell someone I'm at $DOMAIN and not have to specify the TLD.

This is soo very spot on and exactly how I felt about a lot of my humanities classes in college. I almost failed the first one, then learned how to play the game and did a lot better. Sad but true.

I always say I loved engineering classes simply because 1 + 1 = 2, not much room for debate there.
I really enjoyed Sam Altman's criticism of coworking spaces.

https://medium.com/conversations-with-tyler/tyler-cowen-sam-...

"Every time someone decides they’re going to build the next Y Combinator, the idea is always the following: “It’s going to be just like Y Combinator, except we’re going to provide free coworking space.” I always want to say to people, “Did you ever think that maybe we thought about that, and it’s a feature, not a bug, that we don’t have it?”

I think the single thing that has differentiated YC more than any other decision we’ve made is that we do not have a coworking space. We bring the companies together once a week, but that’s it. It’s enough for a community, but it is enough to build your own identity.

Coworking spaces have two big classes of problems. Number one, they are a band-pass filter. Good ideas — actually, no, great ideas are fragile. Great ideas are easy to kill. An idea in its larval stage — all the best ideas when I first heard them sound bad. And all of us, myself included, are much more affected by what other people think of us and our ideas then we like to admit.

If you are just four people in your own door, and you have an idea that sounds bad but is great, you can keep that self-delusion going. If you’re in a coworking space, people laugh at you, and no one wants to be the kid picked last at recess. So you change your idea to something that sounds plausible but is never going to matter. It’s true that coworking spaces do kill off the very worst ideas, but a band-pass filter for startups is a terrible thing because they kill off the best ideas, too.

The other thing is the average level of ambition and willingness to work hard at a coworking space is incredibly low. There’s this reversion to the mean that is not what you want in your life."
It pokes a hole in your security but you could consider creating App Passwords for devices like the PS4 which do not support 2FA.

Java has a fairly nice compile time DI framework in Dagger. However, it feels like it is missing a compile time version of the rest of the web stack: compile time routing and compile time template compilation, for example. Does anyone have any suggestions to fill out this stack?
We want to hire the best candidate regardless of cost. We do optimize what potential candidates we approach. We focus more on diverse hires when reaching out ourselves. Diverse both as in geographically and underrepresented minorities.

I believe what he means is that Rust takes this a step further by ensuring memory safety at compile time.
I get it personally. Remote requires better communication skill, and additional tooling and management to work around time differences.

Besides, I know many people that are not as productive at home.
> Kotlin does that today and I like Kotlin,

Kotlin's coroutines are still not like fibers (it's still affected by: https://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2015/02/01/what-color-is-...)

Java is getting record types as well. That being said, one is free to use whatever JVM language they like and still get the huge benefits of the JVM, regardless of the language.

> Not strictly true. It does have sync.Map There's also 3rd party packages offering this.

Which still uses locks behind the scenes. Java's concurrent structures are lockless in general (lockless maps, lockless queues, channels, etc.). Not to mention casting to and from interface{} which is error prone and very tedious and verbose.
Their job site is a big /dev/null however.

Communication between team members is a huge issue in remote work.

It works if everyone is on site. It also works if everyone is remote.

But when some are at the office and some aren't, communication and information sharing becomes a lot harder. Mostly it's a process and tool issue, but still humans will rather just turn around and ask the team than spend a minute writing their issue on Slack/whatever.
I think it's the popular learner language (UK schools seem to all use it now), which would probably correlate with higher search frequency.
You do realize even if it is 'about zero'... any amount of time needlessly taken from other humans against their consent isn't cool right?

Minutes? 3 seconds? Whatever. No one has a right to other people's time. I can't help but feel that anything else is a sense of entitlement over other peoples time.

That's not to say someone should blare their horn after 3 seconds, but definitively a tap or two... and if that doesn't work, then get progressively louder.
"Continues slump" is a funny way of saying "up 20% since January".
No, but I have a friend who used to work there as an engineering manager 2-ish years ago. I did hit him up with the same question and he told me that's definitely not part of their culture.
You are typically not fired on the spot in the US. The law allows it, but generally it only happens for the good reasons you listed. Most cases you are doing useful work, just "not enough", and the company will try to help you produce enough. If those attempts fail to work out they will fire you, but you should have seen it coming for months.
English is not my native language. I've been reading English books mostly for pleasure for years: when books main language is English that's what I get (thanks Amazon). At first it was hard, it is still hard when trying a book in a domain I've not encountered a lot. And I'm still reading faster in my language but there are not a lot of modern English books I'd consider impossible to read.

And I'm far from fluent.
> All of them have been taught what latency is by having satellite internet.

Yes, life is a great teacher.

HughesNet sends me a post card every quarter or so. Sure I live in the middle of nowhere and would seeming be likely to want it. What makes me laugh is even the old people in the area who you'd think wouldn't know how to use a computer will warn friends, neighbors and community not to use them. They may not know the term latency, but they know that the quality of calls are poor and they know uploading videos from their phones takes way too long.
For what it's worth, I was initially confused as well. It's convolutedly phrased.
> It was all subjective and her own opinion. I fed her back her crap and I passed the class.

I had an English class I thought was like this. I generally tried not to do that unless I had to, but given this English teacher had given me a D and C- on the first two essays (which is all we were graded on), I decided for the third essay I would get as much help as possible directly from her to see exactly what she wanted and try to provide exactly that, since she obviously didn't want my opinion. By the third visit during her office hours, she had very little feedback and thought it looked good. I got a C+. Visiting her afterwards I had her review the essay to give me pointers on what I could have done better. Her exact words, which I remember to this day, were "all I can say is it doesn't feel authentic."

That class broke me on the subject of English. It was the last required English class for my major, and I made sure not to take another elective in English (and I rather liked the subject before that). Sometimes you're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Defending Democracies Against Information Attacks
Surprised to see a headline from the NYT that uses weasel words ("some voters"? well some voters are also uneducated, so what?), which even Wikipedia has rules against. That being said, why does it matter if Amazon is not paying taxes itself if it is creating many jobs, with a good percentage of them being high paying, and who end up paying income taxes anyway? Not to mention taxes that Amazon pays for those employees to begin with.
I didn't say remove, I said spread it around so it's harder to use improperly.
> pervasive surveillance can and does make us less safe due to the potential for a future, less benevolent, government to abuse it to oppress politically unpopular groups.

Do you disagree that pervasive surveillance would make it easier for an oppressive government to collect data on their opponents and imprison or harass them? The East German Stasi didn’t have the advantage of universal surveillance and they did a great job of suppressing political opposition. Do you think their job would have been easier or harder with pervasive logging of all conversations conducted electronically or in public or private spaces?

Note that she does not intend it approvingly. She's using "fantastic" to mean "of fantasy", as in, "not grounded in reality".

Despite her claims to the contrary, I do find her tone "obnoxious". Their fault was not in their interpretation, but in asking the author to confirm it. A great story will "go on expanding for the reader the more he thinks about it", but I find it self-important for a writer to declare that their piece achieves that lofty goal.

I agree with her assertion that their interpretation is dull and simple, but if that's where they've settled, it's as valid as any other. I feel like she's said, "No, I've written a great work of art, and if you've reached a boring conclusion from it, that's your fault." I find it dismissive of her to say in two sentences that there's "no lessening of reality" but simultaneously "not meant to be realistic": that's a cheap way to excuse vagueness.

It's not that difficult for a work to be open to multiple interpretations the longer you look. You can achieve that with ink blots. So if they find merit in the work, they should keep reading to appreciate that merit more fully rather than ask an author to affirm their decryption. But I feel like she hasn't engaged well with the work they have put in: she's dismissed it entirely and missed an avenue they have a right to explore.
Yeah it is a bit strange argument to use "type safe", the better wording would probably have been to use a statically typed language which is more what is getting more and more popular at the moment.

Simple answer is probably not; even a lowering of standards you still need to know if it works - so still doing studies. You'd also then get more drugs like Lily's recently that in post-marketing turns out not to work, but ate of half a billion in sales, and a lot of patients who got not benefit.

There is no simple easy answer, it's a massively hard problem. The regulators have to balance benefit and risk, and for the most part do a hugely impressive job where they already have to add in judgement.
And yet Wikileaks denial of them getting the emails from Russia without any proof whatsoever is somehow not weak? How would Wikileaks even verify that they were not dealing with a stooge of Russian intelligence?

There are a huge number of services out there that support TOTP and show no sign of implementing WebAuthn.

Pervasive surveillance will inevitably lead to machine learning techniques being used to analyse the data which will massively increase the rates of false positives, people who aren’t a threat but who the system flags as potential threats. Freedom and security trade off against one another.
So you're admitting that you asked candidates to work on a project you intended to monetize?

I seem to remember there was something a while back about what the next Japanese era would be named. Is it normal for them to prepare for that so that they're not scrabbling to find a new one when the emperor dies, or was there a general awareness that Akihito would be abdicating in the near future?
yeah very impressive. Is this how products are really prototyped? I feel he could have mentioned either 20 years of experience in all parts of this field (if that's how come he could do it so cleanly) or if he did actual prototyping steps he could have mentioned them or showed some pictures. From the pictures, it comes off as something anyone can do in a week or two. like building a table.

Maybe I'm wrong and the pictures do do the process justice?

Either way definitely amazing.

Get Ready for Consumer Lending Season with Oak Tree Forms and Disclosures
Not pertinent but Google today, but Trash YouTube now does:

turns autoplay on by default everytime you login

turns auto subtitles on almost at random

pops up crappy floating player if you navigate around

YouTube feels like it's run by morons and fly-by-night middle managers who implement one trash feature to get on their resume, get a bonus, then whatever.

They abuse the user almost continually at this point.
Creating CLIs with Ink, React and a bit of magic
This is exactly correct. Also there is a good incentive structure in there - a well designed clinical trial program will move between phases, collect all data possible to support an application, and have all the relevant data to get a timely approval. The better you do on evidence collection, the sooner you are on the market, and more you have to work with
Questions of cost and "why" apply broadly to the whole category of watches. Up until the late 70s, watches were tools to keep you from being late.

Since then, you've been able to get a cheap, reliable watch for next to nothing. Quartz movement, combined with mechanization of production, ensured that. The whole industry had to adapt to making watches themselves sort of an aesthetic statement, not a practical tool to keep you from being late.

At this point, any watch costing more than $25 is itself an aesthetic piece. Part of that aesthetic is where and how it's made. There's probably a market for watches made in Antarctica because of whatever sense of taste that "story" appeals to.
I got a domed sapphire Hamilton hand wind for just over a hundred. And don't ignore used. My favorite was just over 50 USD but it's from the late 60s. Domed acrylic hand winds are the best.
It's a $20 retail movement in a $500 watch. It's many steps away from the quality of a similarly priced Seiko product.
>> a protected class or minority should be allowed to exist

This is the default view of 99.9% of people. If you want to battle the 0.1% of people who feel otherwise then fine but trying to say that is the majority position of everyone who doesn't think like you is the problem.

Similarly, using the term "exist" is uselessly hyperbolic. Communicating like this is usually not in good-faith, it's just antagonistic and unproductive.
I grew up in NH where a fair number of people (half of my own family included) are fluent in Quebecois French and also took 4 years of French in high school.

One summer between junior and senior years, I took a road trip to Montreal and tried out my French. I was thoroughly embarrassed and lived the OPs nightmare. The residents I spoke with seemed actively offended by my French and would smile condescendingly and speak to me in English.

During senior year, I was able to spend a week in France. It was a totally different experience. I spoke nothing but French for the week and was able to feed and otherwise care for myself. The locals seemed to genuinely appreciate my efforts to speak the language. The capstone was later in the week when a 2am knock on my door woke me up. A younger member of our group was having serious homesickness and wanted to call home, but couldn't figure out how to make the call. I went to the lobby with her to ask the desk clerk how to make the call. I ended up having a great conversation with the desk clerk who was only a few years older than me and was in Paris for university. We chatted for about 30 minutes about life, things we liked, cool things to see in Paris, etc. It was awesome!

For OP, give it a shot. The only way to get better is to do it!

I used to work for a major vfx house who did much work on Netflix original shows

there will be a certain amount of sharing needed between vendors, and so Netflix will need to have some vfx expertise in-house to coordinate that (similar to how a film will have a vfx supervisor that works for the film production company, who liases with supervisors at each vendor company)

but it would be very sensible for them to have an in-house asset library (which may included work written in python, not just images or textures) so that if they want to switch vfx vendor between seasons of a show it's easy to do so

in general, python rules in the vfx world. there's some c++ too. Sadly, because it's been this way for so long, many houses are still stuck in a python 2 world with huge legacy codebases
Akihito had announced in 2016 that he wanted to abdicate[1] so I think that's how they put together that process to name the new era.
