I've always felt that the Mortal Kombat games were sick. I remember when I played my first violent video game as a kid and saw over-the-top gore, and feeling cold, like not just at what I had seen, but that it was deliberately placed for me to see it. And I remember feeling like I had to hide my disgust from my peers who would think I was weak for not being thrilled by it.

Maybe I'm just getting older now, but when you start having life experiences of people you care about being involved in accidents and having their bodies destroyed, and all tolls that takes on someones life, it makes seeing senseless violence so much more pointless. There's really nothing to celebrate by glorifying the different ways a human body can be destroyed.

At the same time, I'm against legislating against this kind of expression, and I don't hide behind "think of the children." If we just made wiser decisions about the end results of our life's work, we wouldn't have to be having these kinds of conversations.
That would be at odds with the book you drew your conclusion from.
I'm pretty forgetful, and so over the years I've trained myself to automatically keep a list of stuff I have on me, and do a quick check whenever I move from place to place to make sure I'm not leaving anything behind. Over the years, this has become an almost subconcious process.

So I suspect in a similar disaster I might be one of those people grabbing their luggage, just because in a panic I can see myself mindlessly "defaulting" to my usual routine as I get up to try and escape.
I used to have a rss subscription on a obscure SO tag I was interested years ago. The tag had like a couple of posts a week, and I would read the question in the rss reader and click on what I am interested in.

So tags probably do not work well on a popular topic, but outside of that, they can be useful.
Sounds like four political reasons. Better strap in for the long haul cause it doesn’t sound like things are gonna change quickly. Unless you happen to find that person who can understand and motivate developers while navigating the political power structure toward real solutions. Unfortunately, those people are even more rare than the 10x developer.
Perhaps it is a problem when the investigator’s entire career would be destroyed if they were to discover anything to contradict the zeitgeist of the field.

It seems to me that tenure was meant to solve this, but it doesn’t. Academics are groomed and selected to be career climbers, willing to sacrifice anything to please the gods of their establishment. 1000 years later, still a monastery.

No, they meant the Arctic. The sea ice covering the Arctic has a natural cycle of growth and retreat with the seasons, but the overall trend in the last decade is one of unprecedented decline. This has led countries like Russia, Canada, and the US to start arguing about who gets access to the hydrocarbons, rare earth, and other resources that will be accessible as the thawing continues.

From a greenhouse perspective this is an incredibly dangerous situation because Arctic ice reflects a great deal of sunlight. Without that ice, the atmosphere will absorb more heat from the sun.
WSL2 should be available soon and will be a better experience... I've just been running Docker for Windows and using the bash that comes with Git for Windows. It is not great, but the best option(s) I've used so far.

edit: current Docker for Windows does not use REAL volume mounts, don't use it for any live databases in containers, it's good enough for a backup target volume, but live data is too fidgety.
We had dictatorships, civil wars, and other such things in my country not that long ago.

I have relatives who went through those things -- and other modern tragedies today. I have befriended, talked to, and interviewed people jailed and tortured for decades for their beliefs. Even family killed by previous regimes.

So, it's not like I don't know that people "were killed, jailed and fined for holding certain beliefs".

I do know however that people that had those things happen to them in real-time history and in their full horror, were much more resilient, courageous, and could even shrug them off.

The touchy feely, safe-space demanding people today, who get discouraged or hysterical for 1/1000th the offense done to them, are a regression and an insult to those people (whose actual sacrifices and efforts gave the rights to the snowflakes of today).
> Needless to say, I will be leaving my company very soon to go to a place where there is a coding test and filtering to prevent most of these bootcampers from getting in.

I went to a bootcamp, and the first hour of every day was spent learning to solve the types of coding tests that companies use in interviews. So, when companies look at the graduates of these bootcamps, it's really hard to differentiate between people who perform really well on the interview but will require significant investment before they're useful (this was me) and people who have been programming and working with computers for years and simply lacked a little bit of polish & training (like some other people in my program).

All that's to say -- traditional coding tests & filtering doesn't necessarily work that well when you have people training for the test (rather than training for the ability to do the work that the test is supposed to be a proxy for).
It would be nice to get the audio released free as well. While not as useful as the books for actual learning (at least half of the audio is Feynman drawing furiously on a chalkboard and booming "and then this leads to this...") much of the beginning parts of each lecture are dedicated to well spoken overviews and ideas, and to hear them from Feynman himself is quite amazing. I've only been able to find some of the audio files for sale on Audible and on some rare bootleg torrents.

Of course they knew, but there was very little they could do about it.

The Soviets and even Russia today kinda sucks at deep sea recovery, even to raise the Kursk they had to contract a Dutch company.

Russia never had much offshore oil, and while even for the US navy a sub sinking is likely a recovery operation rather than a rescue one the US navy seem have been much more concern with developing the operational capabilities to at least attempt a rescue.

Excellent question, I mean any organism that identifies as female AND elects to wear the stereotypical types of clothing marketed towards females by the oppressive patriarchy that do not have pockets. I personally identify as an attack helicopter, which means I have some extra cargo space and rotor blades that make it easy to land softly if my flight has problems and I am forced to jump out mid flight, which is why I don't use my pockets.
I've done it before. The job wasn't at all what I expected, and I didn't see myself growing the way I wanted while there. It sucked to do as it was a very small team and a non profit, but it was the right choice for myself. I have no regrets.
If you're looking at this from an architectural perspective, consider grabbing a copy of Hennessey & Patterson's "Computer Architecture - a Quantitative Approach". It covers topics like branch prediction, instruction set design, memory/caching, and so on. A classic.

If you want to get really deep into the physics of IC Design, one of my favorites is "CMOS Design, Layout & Simulation (Baker). It covers spice modeling, physical transistor construction, and a variety of digital/analog/memory circuit concepts.

You are absolutely correct; there are can deposits in those same ten states. Thank you for pointing that out.
Imagine there was a hunter-gatherer society was able to observe our own. They'd undoubtedly be amazed a the marvel's we've been able to achieve: men walking on the moon, a global internet stretching from one side of the planet to another, safe buildings stretching thousands of feet into the sky, even the massive surplus of things like clothing. But they'd also probably find it difficult to understand how we're able to maintain a system where everything, including these achievements, is heavily dependent upon literally billions of people spending large chunks of almost every day doing 'A' when they'd much rather be doing 'B' - for decades. Of course the answer is because people feel they have no other choice. Children are just a microcosm of our own society.
This is the first time in 30+ years that I read about storing types in their own file separate from the source code. Probably some language/tool already did it, still it seems weird to me.

It also looks like a method to make developers forget about types, unless they're using an IDE that merges the .rb and the .rbi files in a single view.

Maybe I'm OK with putting hurdles on the way of static typing Ruby because I can use any of the existing statically typed languages if I feel like that. One of the top reasons I'm using Ruby is precisely because I don't have to write type annotations. I'd leave it like that.

My dream is to be independently wealthy and become a high school math teacher. I love math, I enjoy teaching, and I’m pretty good at it (I spend a good deal of time tutoring various youth in our church group).

Why am I not a math teacher? Because I make 5x what a teacher makes. And I don’t want to raise three kids on a teacher’s salary.

But I dream of being a teacher. Help kids out for nine months and spend three months hiking and camping with the family. But until then, I’ll just make a very comfortable living doing quant marketing and building out Bayesian models...

I enjoy my work enough that the opportunity cost is not worth the forgone revenue to teach. Not yet, any way...
I consider this question to be a form of attempted doxxing and inappropriately invasive. It's not actually a secret what company I used to work for. I have named it on HN before. But I am not going to name it here in this comment.

PSA:

This sort of invasively "friendly" comment can go very bad places and often seems to have a gendered component where men who wouldn't dare to do something so rude to another man don't hesitate to do it to a woman. It often is very obviously motivated by an attempt to chat her up in hopes of making a personal/romantic connection.

I have had multiple men ask me where I lived, men who sometimes had a clear and undeniable history of couching the same question quite differently when aimed at a man. They generally tried to be "chatty" and "friendly" with me in a way that assumed I was obligated to answer the question while stating up front that they understood if a man didn't want to answer a question like that on a public forum and was under no obligation to do so.

I'm not putting this here with any expectation that the person I am replying to nor any man here will care. I fully expect to be ROFLstomped for saying it on HN.

I'm putting it here for the women and other minorities who often seem to not realize that they can decline to answer such a question, flag it and even email the mods if they feel especially threatened by something going on. You don't have to "politely" answer extremely impolite questions that may have a clearly predatory intent or, at a minimum, that act with callous disregard for your personal safety by eliciting personal information you chose to not include in your comment and may not want publicized for some reason.
Kotaku. ".au"

For those that don't know, Australia has censorship practices that America would consider absolutely absurd. Kotaku are similarly inclined in encouraging a kind of puritanical sensibility of their own variety.

I would find this article much more interesting if I didn't get the impression that its author would happily legislate away developer and consumer freedoms to make and/or play whatever games they'd like.

If your employer has you working on something that really bothers you, and they're not able or willing to place you on something else, then that doesn't sound like a good fit for employment. There are all kinds of things that make people not want to work in certain positions at certain places.
I’d say the Soviet anthem is one of the best there is. They missed it so much it was brought back as the Russian national anthem after Yeltsin. Red Army Chorus has some good tracks like it. Very catchy and “patriotic” if you are in line to fight western imperialism.
They're not the same thing at all. Being a lawyer involves cramming in an enormous volume of rote information over many years and passing an exhaustive exam; programming is just a combination of problem solving, being able to deal with abstract concepts and how computers work, and learning a relatively small amount of syntax and general concepts. You can easily get a grip on all that in a few months if it's your thing.

Yes, incompetent credentialed, experienced Engineers, surgeons, plumbers, programmers etc... exist.

>honestly, a degree really doesn't show competence -- nor does experience from what i've seen. Its clearly hard to create a fault tolerant system, but its just as hard to quantify what makes people able to do just that

Of course, but in experience hiring programmers, computer science grads from reputable programs (either programs I'm aware of, or programs where I thought their curriculum looked decent) are much more likely to be able to create fault tolerant systems than non graduates--assuming approximately equal work experience and age. This levels out at some point, e.g., I don't think the degree is the primary differentiator between 2 talented programmers with 10 years experience.

And there is definitely a very strong correlation between years of experience and the ability to create fault tolerant systems.
> I do know however that people that had those things happen to them in real-time history and in their full horror, were much more resilient, courageous, and could even shrug them off.

This is wildly untrue and outrageously offensive. Do you really think this? What evidence do you have for this? Today's youth are experiencing their own valid forms of discrimination, hate and violence fed by trolls and you are no judge of their pain. And why are you doing this whataboutism with the past anyway? What do you have to gain from saying lambasting those who suffer and whom with you share so little you can surely hardly understand their circumstance?

> The touchy feely, safe-space demanding people today, who get discouraged or hysterical for 1/1000th the offense done to them,

Who are these people? Do they really exist? I think you have made up, invented an enemy towards which you are directing these statements.

> are a regression and an insult to those people (whose actual sacrifices and efforts gave the rights to the snowflakes of today).

How on earth? Everyone I know today who cares to improve society is trying to avoid the atrocities of the past. Positing that reasonable discourse, backed by facts and logic, with an avoidance of 'trolling' and bad-faith acting, is a direct attempt to reduce the suffering and pain of the future so that we can avoid such horrible things from the past from happening again.

Your callous dismissal of today's youth looking to improve the world by reducing the spread of hatred and violence is exactly the kind of thing that enabled such horrid violence in the past.

We can see history rhyming. We can see the genocides being committed around the world, fed and enabled by trolls, and we are trying to stop it from happening. We are trying to slow down the intentional suffering hoist upon minorities today by reducing the online vitriol and hatred that creates such physical horror.
Thanks. Your comment is really thought-provoking.
No, but they might not travel with a pharmacy, they might not arrive right away, I might have inhaled smoke prior to their arrival or during the emergency exit. Based on your experience with asthma, smoke inhalation, asthma attacks, first responders etc. which must be vast, would you risk the life of yourself or toddler on the off chance the first firefighter you see has an inhaler in his pocket?
many global fishing stocks are being critically overexploited, and lab grown fish could help abate it. this is a much more immediate threat to food security than climate change and may be intensified in the future by ocean acidification. i don’t see why a fish lab couldn’t be run in a carbon neutral manner and it’s much better than doing nothing.

I found many movies (war, horror) unwatchable after having been in combat. People do die in some of the worst ways. Their last moments will make you shudder to think about. I don’t find pleasure in, and I look down upon those who enjoy, terrible death/torture scenes.

Some scenes in games are too much for sure, but there are far more horror scenes that I think never should have been made and have no place as entertainment in civil society.

I do not understand how people watch that stuff.

It's like saying Ford will bring an electric truck to the mass market by making it sound like an ICE, act like an ICE, work with Diesel and run a 6-litre V12 to charge the batteries with a dynamo.

>The problem with math education is largely one of poor communication between student and teacher. The biggest being that the teacher tends to be unable to sufficiently vary the way they instruct to adapt to the way a particular group of students in a class need to hear it.

I'm sure if you spend enough resources on teaching a student to do something then almost every student will eventually get it, but at what point does the amount of resources spent become too much? Just the fact that math classes have 25-40 students each already means the resources we spend are limited and within those constraints it might very well be likely that those kids can't be taught this. It's not like we're suddenly going to get a massive surge in math teachers.

>Mathematics isn’t something to be “signed up for” in the sense that it is pervasive in every single aspect of our lives.

It might be pervasive, but most people could go through their life without learning half the mathematics that they do in school. I think studying mathematics is important to learn ways of thinking, but I also recognize that, in practice, most people have little need for most mathematics they learn.
