What even was the point of all this? Money wasn't given outright to Foxconn in large quantities, right? There was little reason for them to just lie about their intents while not planning on following through on any of it. That doesn't really help them out either.

Wisconsin got played really badly, but I don't understand what even Foxconn is getting out of it at this point. Did they just change their mind and decide it wasn't worth building a factory there at all, but for whatever reason just won't come out and cancel it all?
It's similar to how you relate to a kid where you recognize yourself as an adult and them as a child, so you don't personalize or internalize their actions. Doctors and patients, even developers and users. You can be equitable about it by accepting things as they are, but internally, you can do that because you don't need for them to reflect your own self belief.

Among adults, it's recognizing people as true others, who are not a part of "your," tribe or experience, just neutral independent beings. In a professional context, their opinions are objective things that you don't register personally because your sense of self does not depend on your relationship to them. People will bend over backwards trying to explain it in a non-hierarchical neutral zen way, but the example makes it easier.

It comes from working with animals, where a trainer needs to emotionally separate themselves from the animals actions so you cease to relate to them an a reactive way.
It is not that easy. One delivery truck delivering to multiple people can be more efficient over them driving individually.

A warehouse can be more efficiently cooled and enlighted than a shop for individuals.

A big kitchen preparing menu after menu can be more efficient than heating up the oven for a single use. A restaurant using larger supply packs can be more efficient than household sizes in packaging and transport.

It's a case by case thing, but average for a few domains might not be that bad.
> standard libertarianism

What's that?
I agree that it's an important discussion to have, but I think we shouldn't try to see one perspective as superior to the other but rather take a step back and try to evaluate both.

> The skills are social, and not really skills anyone (men or women) respects or admires. Perhaps that's why they are so well paid.

Feels rather contradictory to say that a skill that's well paid isn't admired, given how many people who go into medicine or law for the pay. I also think this is seriously devaluing "soft" skills, and that women are more likely to value them.

> self-superiorization

Isn't this what would less controversially be called self-confidence?

In particular the skill of accepting critique - recieving feedback on your work without it being a criticism of your competence and a challenge to your identity.

> deal with outwardly contemptible behaviour because it's not, "you," who is engaged in it, it's something a person of your position "does."

I kind of want to apply this critique to policing, which is extremely blue collar work.

> but almost all of them are anathema to a traditional masculine identity, which is based on the very competence, principle, and structure that is the barrier to them in dynamic white collar environments

I think you're going to have to unpack this some more.

> instincts and techniques for identifying and aligning correctly to power.

This applies to blue collar situations as well, no? Just perhaps in a more physical way?

Wonder if this will come back to bite them. Birds can be a form of free pest management.
I don't think you need to convince them to produce the same thing. The delivery company would just have single preferred suppliers for each different kind of meal.

Curiously another post on the frontpage is about the success of Aldi, which has a similar model as a grocery store (very limited selection of good quality products). I could see the Aldi of meal delivery working.
The article was okay to read but calling people out for not being able to use an editor you know how to use is low.
oh how nice. Thanks for telling me.
At least none of these incidents killed anyone. Boeing's automation (MCAS specifically) has a lot of blood on its hands.
Yep. I think around here you could make pretty good money as a competent welder. No big surprise, getting competent takes time and the working conditions aren't particularly luxurious. So there's a shortage of competent people, and the teens who are deciding where to go next in life don't seem interested in this kind of work.
I had your same problem for years (I use vi extremely sparingly) and the answer is “a” - which means “append”: it will go to the end of the line and leave you in insert mode after the last character.

Found out when I was looking for something else, and improved my quality of life quite a bit. (I still hate distributions where arrow keys in insert mode don’t work like any reasonable human would expect, but they are thankfully getting thinner on the ground).
It's _not_ easy to move a box 1000 times with little change in quality.

Before software, I did a bunch of construction. Some of those tasks were highly repetitive. ("Remove this commercial firewall that's 45 feet tall and 200 feet long". "Fill these 500 holes with metal plugs, weld them in, then grind them smooth", "remove 500sq feet of carpet on concrete, and get the glue up too")

If I paced myself and went carefully, my quality stayed high. If I rushed, quality went down. If I worked too long, quality went down.

One can move boxes, but... one can also:

- damage the box by careless handling
- loose the order (if the order is important, which it usually is)
- hurt oneself in the process
- hurt someone else in the process. (If its 1000 boxes, you're prob using a forklift or at _least_ a pallet jack)

and more.

(edit: formatting)
"blue collar" jobs have quite a lot of room for optimization and process management, just as software jobs do.

(though, yes, the _scale_ of moving boxes vs. working on a system that will be used by thousands/millions is very different.)
This is kind of expected given go give you no additional safety, only focusing on "simplicity". Rust seems so much more promising.
Nothing stops a reviewer from reformatting the code before reading it (probably using an autoformatter).

But I'm not sure if making the code easier -- and thus faster -- to read is necessarily a good thing. If the brain parses and analyzes the code in parallel, making it harder to parse could give the analyzing process more time and thus make the review more thorough.

Of course, nothing stops a reviewer from being thorough either way. But making it the path of least resistance makes it more likely.
> Well if you solve it, then you've proved that you can solve it, right?

Which gives you more data on how someone works and thinks?

1. Person silently sits for 15 minutes and then codes up a solution that meets the test criteria in another 15 minutes, typing quickly.

2. Person talks about the issues, tradeoffs and experiences while coding. They ask questions and engage in some discussion around the problem set. They end up with a partial solution after 30 minutes.

Of course those are hypothetical extremes, but it is clear to me which scenario gives the interviewer more information.
Now we’ve gone full circle from using tables for layout, to using layout for tables.
> The OpenID spec specifies that an id_token needs to contain the following, based on scope: - email: email, email_verified - profile: name, family_name, given_name, middle_name, nickname, preferred_username, profile, picture, website, gender, birthdate, zoneinfo, locale, updated_at

I understand the need of an email and other data, and that they can work as PKs in the Web/Mob apps' databases. But also those data are a medium to communicate with the actual user.

So again I am curious about why ProtonMail doesn't provide a mechanism like this. They have all the data, the brand and the credibility to run a service with the following business model.

I hope to god Deliveroo takes some of Amazon's customer service tips/experience. Deliveroo's customer service is the absolute worst of any company i've ever experienced. So much so that they've had news articles[1] published in the UK about how much they try and screw people over.

Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Just Eat also (again, speaking for the UK) do not list restaurants' food safety/hygienic ratings, which is a requirement to run a restaurant in the UK[2]. This has lead to people like a comedian here (Joe Lycett) making a restaurant in a skip (a big industrial waste disposal unit) and getting food delivered to himself to see if it would work[3]...and it did.

If that wasn't bad enough, in London, Deliveroo actively masks restaurants' locations. For example, you order from "my 5 star restaurant" but the food might not actually come from the restaurant, instead it comes from a metal shipping container, under a bridge, next to a train track. These, are made by Deliveroo and, again, have no safety ratings/hygienic information.[4]

This has been my experience, several times, it really isn't a unique experience. Their policy seems to be to cut corners and hold on to money as much as physically possible. Don't get me wrong, i love the idea, and convenience of it all and use all 3 apps pretty regularly. Given the amount of money they make they should all seriously step up their game in terms of just not being shady bastards.
This is an odd comment. If someone has a high chance of having a horrible death, does that justify us killing them in whatever way we see fit?
I have an MBA from an elite school and I don’t disagree with you at all about the performative nature of authoritative self-confidence. For better or worse, confidence is a strong virtue signal in white collar work and more confident workers are seen as more competent. It’s no accident that most business schools hit presentation and interpersonal skills harder than any other subject — they’re the most correlated with success.

I wonder if this is a reason why women and minorities are severely underrepresented in the executive ranks — managerial positions are often the first time in our lives we are in a position within a social structure where this kind of outsized ego is permitted; much less a good thing. There’s a lot of societal conditioning that tells us to keep our ego in check or face negative consequences, and overcoming that takes time, resilience and support. I expect some of this filters through to all blue-collar workers of all intersections who are expected to be a replaceable cog in the machine, so there’s definitely a transition for everyone.

Even then though, it’s a tricky line to walk. Men who are read as white with a huge superiority complex are “strong leaders” — even if they’re not well liked. Women with a similar ego are “arrogant bitches” who are constantly under the microscope by people looking to “put them in their place”. Black men in particular have it hard; too much confidence can be interpreted as aggression and feed into the worst stereotypes (“angry black man” is a dangerous label that gets people shot). Asian people have their own labels as well depending on where their heritage is.

(I’m not blaming any one group for any of this — it’s a consequence of the time and place we live in. It’s just up to us to figure out if and how we want to change it.)
I find it hard to differentiate between rows when it is in portrait mode one under another. When I've had to do projects with modular tables ect; I've used an awesomelibary called datatables. They have heaps of plugins that let you do things like load from json, filtering and sorting, pagination, export etc. I've found it a very feature complete product off the shelf.

You’ve obviously never been in the position to do the former as a requirement for paying bills... sure, lifting the boxes (or nailing the shingles, or digging the trench) is easy, it’s getting up and continuing to do it day-in and day-out that takes persistence, a strong constitution, and grit that isn’t present in many/most of the software devs that you’re likely to encounter In the workplace.

I think those are all fair points. I just wonder that now we have the same volume of content (if not quality) from many, many more people. I don't believe there's a lot of time and patience for those people, but the 'landmines' of their unpopular writing is accessible despite this.
I've never successfully purchased anything at aldi. Generally what happens is I'll walk in, grab what I want, proceed to the checkout, notice that there's only one register with at least 10 people in line and I'll drop whatever it is I went in to get and leave. I can't be bothered to wait that long to save 14 cents on eggs.

On the other hand my wife goes there somewhat frequently and is able to buy things in a reasonable amount of time so maybe it's just me.
In case you need to use more vim in your life: that's not actually a conf issue, it's just how the 'i'-key behaves.

That sounds like a gnarly stretch of work you did. I’ve also experienced burnout and it is nothing to scoff at—this coming from a guy who also did physically demanding work. In terms of negative affect on my life, burnout tops the list.

I’m not the OP but I read the comment as not saying burnout isn’t a thing or that it pales in comparison to blue collar struggle. It was more that the common gripes you may hear at an office—especially from folks whose work history is only office work—tends to make you reflect. At least that’s my experience.
But the fact that it is being like that is the problem. It shouldn't be about who performs the most elaborate mating dance. This is a job and the performance of the project will be measurable and might have far-reaching consequences even for many people outside the company. None of the victims of the Equfax hack cares that the people on the job impressed their managers.
I would think that even a slightly sophisticated spell checker would catch this. So arguably a lack of automation. Could of course be a human machine interaction problem, where the misguided human and machine makes errors together.
Mental exhaustion is a legitimate issue. But most blue collar jobs are demonstrably worse than most office jobs.

Factory line workers and truck loaders are trying to get into software, accounting, etc., not the other way around.
>Fusion power is in between the research stage and the commercial stage.

The commercial stage ist decades away, there isn't even energy surplus generated in research.
No reactor can run longer than some miliseconds, i think you are overly optimistic.
Fusion is 20 years away since 50 years.
I have to agree with others that mental and physical workloads are really different. Also, as the article mentions, you're getting graded more on 'political' ideas and beliefs instead of more objective concrete results. If you unload the truck quickly, that is measurable. Performance results are different to each observer when it comes to 'mental' workloads like writing code and delivering features. I miss that sense of objectivity from blue-collar jobs.
You'd be surprised. A common scenario is that manager A hires a bad employee but doesn't want to admit their mistake. Then they move on to another position and the new manager B has to go through the lengthy PIP and termination process.
Of course they have an agenda. Nix is one of the most opinionated Linux distros in existence. They have an absolute insistence on reproducible builds.

What I said was that they didn't have a secret agenda. They are completely up front about reproducibility. Code that violates this principle needs to be fixed (or disabled, as in this Rebar example).

If that doesn't meet your needs, then just move on. Nix isn't a distro that will please everyone.
I believe there is also a proof that says any partially homomorphic system can be reworked into a FHE.
That isn’t a good question. You are asking if a creature who doesn’t exist is less happy than a creature who exists to suffer.

The creature who doesn’t exist has no sentience and shouldn’t be considered as a perspective in the decision.

On top of that, the choice isn’t to breed these creatures in captivity by the millions or have them living in the wild by the millions. The choice is to breed millions of animals who will live a life of suffering, or do nothing, and no one exists to suffer. We aren’t going to see a huge wild farm animal population come into existence if we stop breeding them - nature could never support their population.

I never worked as long as you did as blue collar but I did work for a while with decently heavy physical work and it was taxing in a lot of way. The grind could get to you from to time to time.

But for me it was also a type of work where I put in some heavy work and got physically tired and slept well at night without a thought of the job. In my current project I'm in a leading position in some high profile projects and there will be high stakes decision that needs to be taken, there will be drama and opinions and you will need to learn a lot of things in a short time. Even if I would go home at a reasonable time I can still en up googling possible solutions to problems at work in the evening or thinking about how I should reply to an email.

That is mentally taxing in a different way and for me often as equally difficult to cope with as working in a tough physical job all day.
I'm my experience if there's a long line of people like that they are great about opening another line. I've had that experience at multiple Aldi stores so maybe yours was just understaffed or something.
A similar thing happened with the captain of SAS MD-81 in 1993[1]. Clear ice had formed on the upper side of wings overnight, but it was not detected during de-icing. Shortly after takeoff, pieces of ice broke off and hit engines, deforming fan blades, which disturbed airflow and caused right engine to surge 25 seconds into the flight.

Pilots properly responded with thrust reduction to decrease engine stress, but unknown to them, the MD-81 had been fitted with Automatic Thrust Restoration[2] that kept increasing thrust to maintain normal climb setting. Increased thrust led to surging of the left engine too, until both engines failed at 78 seconds.

The aircraft crashed into a field and broke into three parts (everyone survived).[3]

Post-crash analysis determined that reduced thrust would have kept both engines operational, and maintained thrust would've lead to failure of only the right engine, which would have allowed to keep flying and perform a safe landing. ATR increased thrust and caused both engines to fail.

Captain of the flight retired from flying, saying that he lost trust in airplanes.

I have tried using CSS grid a few times, but my impression of it was... meh. The oppurtunities to use it are few in between, it doesn't bring much more to the table than (nested) flex, and worst of all, I had huge problems understanding what I did a few months later, even though I have tried to do it properly (and after deciphering it, there was nothing that I would change).

Did anyone have opposite experience?

EDIT: OP's experience is of course different, for such customizable tables CSS Grid probably makes sense. My opinion applies more to generic layout.
Well, I can imagine the F16 g-limiting system messing with flight controls if the g-sensor is botched.

In my eyes the problem isn't so much that the systems are overly invasive, it's more that the failure modes of automation aren't well understood or signalled and cannot always be remedied.
I wonder if the microcode changes to mitigate branch prediction vulnerabilities (i.e. Spectre) affect these results in any way.

This is what allows you to order from a restaurant that is otherwise too far away from you. It's arguably of great benefit to those who do not live in that delivery area.

> it comes from a metal shipping container, under a bridge, next to a train track

The metal shipping container has been outfitted to modern standards precisely for this purpose, as opposed to down some stairs in a windowless Victorian cellar, under a bridge, next to a traintrack, which many 'real' restaurant kitchens are like.

> These, are made by Deliveroo

No they are not, the chefs are employed by the restaurant, and are making the same dishes to the same standards.

The more automated planes get, the less often a pilot gets to actually fly. Automation is more likely to fail in uncommon situations that an inexperienced pilot cannot deal with anyway.

Even if a pilot is not completely useless and we value a human life at infinity, at some point having a pilot on board is not worth it. If a pilot can save the plane in less than 1/<number of passengers and non-pilot crew> of situations that would have ended in a fatal crash without them, we lose more pilots than we save non-pilots.

Also, it's possible that an autopilot can handle a situation but the pilot erroneously overrides it and crashes.
