> Some employers prefer programmers that like programming outside of work

Many employers prefer programmers that keep current with new technologies, and programmers will generally have better opportunities for job switching the broader their skills are. Many employers also don't provide much opportunity for breadth development in working hours, leaving programmers in a narrow lane if they restrict themselves to programming at work.

It's not that employers specifically prefer you programming outside of work, programming outside of work is a way of avoiding getting sick in a rut defined by you your present role with your present employer.

There are, also, employers that use “your life is coding” as a filter, probably because they are looking for people whose preferred lifestyle wouldn't change if they were in nearly 24/7 crunch mode. Unless you are one of those people, even if your actually do like to code outside of work, you should probably avoid those firms like the plague.

The archaeology community has been dealing with this for years, and supplied this interesting read.

The art market, though, I assume is mostly money laundering.
Maybe We Should Stop Creating Inscrutable CLIs
In general, it seems like moving sand wouldn't be cost effective.

Seems the world is running out of local sand, and not just sand in general. I imagine there is plenty of sand in inaccessible places (Greenland being one of them) that would just cost too much to move to the location where it is needed.

The oil analogy is good. At some point you spend more energy getting it out of the ground than burning it.

The metaphor is brilliant, it's simple, relatable and embodies an insight about the nature of personal computers.

About "man-machine partnership" and how computers amplify the human mind, the concept goes back to Douglas Englebart's work at Stanford Research Institute, namely the paper "Augmenting the Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework" (1962).

The influence is so direct and clear that I wish the Medium article had at least mentioned his name.

How did I do?
Does anyone know how accurate their warning about swap space on an SSD is? I know SSDs have limited reads and writes and swapping to them obviously uses those limited reads/writes, but how much of a concern actually is it? Especially if you're only using swap during the compile/deploy step?
"Officially China still sees nuclear power as a must-have. But unofficially, the technology is on a death watch. Experts, including some with links to the government, see China's nuclear sector succumbing to the same problems affecting the West: the technology is too expensive, and the public doesn't want it."
It's called Optical Character Recognition:

One of the few applications where ML-based image recognition actually works reliably enough for real-world applications; the USPS has been using neural nets to read zip codes for decades.
I feel like a lot of people that push back on this premise do so believing that "coding outside of work" means doing more of your day job. When you look at it from that perspective, yeah, doing 60 hours of the same thing per week instead of 40 is not going to do much for you.

In reality, most people that code outside of work do so to learn new things; new stacks or languages, or take on projects that are orthogonal to their day job.

I think the argument should probably be framed around "learning outside of work" rather than "coding outside of work".
I think it's the contrast between what she got vs what others got. The initial terms of employment don't have anything to do with it.

At some point wework decides to grant options to some of their 120 employees -- basically a form of bonus. From her perspective, she's been working just as hard, productively and creatively as many other people who were granted the bonus, and had been there longer than most.

The terms of the initial employment offer aren't really relevant since it sounds like various other people who weren't guaranteed options nevertheless received them (people couldn't have been guaranteed options under a plan that didn't exist when they hired).
Ok, so if one day you loose the desire to do code at home, by your own thinking, you should leave the field altogether?

A Hacker Talks Security, Consent, and Why He Hacked a Buttplug
You have to explicitly write your code to prevent this from happening. You typically have an engine that is executing all of your logic (rendering, game logic, AI, etc.) in cycles. By default, it will execute these cycles as quickly as possible. So for anything with real-time components, faster CPU = enemies move faster.

I forget which game first introduced a fix for this, but the solution is to have the engine run on time-based ticks -- you wait to execute the next cycle until the requisite time has passed.

> It is obvious that the next FTP related headline we see from Google is when (not, if) they drop FTP links from all Google search results. There's no point them listing FTP urls in the results if their own browser can't connect to them.

Why would it? Seems like the relevant model is file types the browser can't open, and there are lots of search results for those?

https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35287?hl=en

Lots of worry in this thread from people who apparently don't use ftp enough to know that your OS will already open ftp links for you.

It's also a shame that the actual technical discussions are like half a page down.
> You can't just reply to a detailed explanation of why something is political with "no, it isn't".

That's an interesting take since I refuted your points. You simply added a bunch of potential political concepts to something that wasn't political and then claimed it was.

> You seem to have a very narrow definition of the word "political". I'd be interested to hear what you think that is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics

> "Political" in my book means "involves politics", "expresses politics", "manifests politics" or something to that effect -- which applies to everything humans do

If it applies to everything that humans do then there is no "involves politics" or "expresses politics". A human taking a shit isn't expressing politics no matter how hard the struggle is -- so I've just refuted that obviously over-broad point.
One difference here is that Japanese characters can be combined in various ways to create different words, so the 777 characters can be used to create many more than 777 words. Compare with the Simple English Wikipedia which strives to use only the 1000 most commonly used English words. I think you'll find that that experience quite a bit different from reading a typical English language newspaper.

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Simple_English_W...

Another example of "using only the ten hundred words people use most often" is Randall Munroe's "Up Goer Five":

https://xkcd.com/1133/

It may be helpful to think of "characters" as representing some middle ground between words and alphabetic letters, a little like word stems.
This is because the premise of the question is bogus. People with high IQ are very successful on average.

https://thesocietypages.org/socimages/files/blogger2wp/2Meth...

If the question is about why some of them are not, then the answer would be the same as for everyone else: coincidence of other factors. And even with them in mind high IQ means higher averages, e.g. bottom 95% income at the higher IQ on average is higher than bottom 95% income at the average IQ.
I was on an Alaska cruise last year. While I was on the bridge tour, a whale breached nearly perpendicular to the bow a few hundred feet away while the ship was underway at 20 knots. I don’t think it was hit, but there’s literally nothing a ship like that can do if the whale is going to surface in its way like that.
The officer in training told us whales were generally dumb and paid little attention to the movements of large vessels, unlike dolphins.

Absolutely not. That's more entry level.

This was a mistake. You should do your due diligence to review as much publicly available information on salaries for your job, and adjacent ones, as possible. That way you know exactly how much to negotiate.

Even aside from everything else, Chrome auto-updates and it’s very difficult to disable.
I think it was a foolish oversight on Apples front. I hope they take this as an opportunity to reevaluate all their services and come forward with any findings. That would be something. Sadly I fear they may just wait till the next exposure to fix that one as well.

On another note I never use voice assistants. I just cannot be bothered to relearn how to speak for them.
$2m/mo for only 2 customers is probably terrible. loss of 1 customer is loss of 50% revenue. and worse moreso if those customers came via network vs organically. it means you have no proven way to replace one of them.

it sounds like a horrible business, resting on its laurels.
HN is full of the dilettante type who consider themselves an authority on any field based on a few days of wiki-hopping.

I notice this every time I see comments on HN about a topic I actually understand in depth. Quite a few comments are just outright incorrect, most are misguided, but all are confident.

Theoretically we'd eventually cook the Earth with waste heat since energy is never lost so there is an upper limit for energy usage on the planet. Off Earth, not so much.

The full phrase is "presumed innocent until proven guilty". It's specifying how people should be treated by the legal system, not stating whether they are in fact innocent or not.
But separate silicon is what gives AMD an almost insurmountable cost advantage. They can bin each chiplet separately, their yields are much higher because each die is smaller and the cherry on top is the different, cheaper process for the I/O die.

> they are inherently innocent in the eyes of the law.

No.

Imagine a father accused of raping his child. The case goes to criminal court, and they find him not guilty.

The mother thinks he did it, and she divorces the father and goes through the family courts to prevent him from having access to the child.

The family court will have their own fact-finding hearings, and since they work on a different burden of proof (criminal courts require "beyond all reasonable doubt", civil courts require "balance of probabilities") they may find that he did rape his child, and prevent him having any further access to the child. The earlier not-guilty verdict will carry little weight.

See this from England: http://www.transparencyproject.org.uk/the-x-files-or-the-tru...

> The difference between the civil and criminal standards of proof mean that a person who is not found guilty of doing harm to the higher criminal standard required in the Crown Court, may yet be found to have done harm on a “balance of probabilities” test, i.e. that it was more likely than not that they did it. This is often a cause of confusion and consternation about the justice system.

Or this: http://www.transparencyproject.org.uk/guilty-until-proven-in...

> The difference in the purpose and the approach of the two systems accounts for the way, in some cases, a person may be acquitted of having harmed a child because the jury in the Crown Court is not satisfied so that they are sure (beyond reasonable doubt) of that person’s guilt. Yet the same person may be found, by a single judge sitting without a jury in the family court, to have been liable for harm and/or likely to cause harm to the child/ren whose best interests therefore require intervention by the state to protect them.

Actually, I think the author is in agreement with you that there is alpha. He apparently wrote this article to attract attention to his scheme for selling access to his cryptocurrency trading "bots", which he claims are guaranteed to be highly profitable once he finishes developing them. Certainly, his survey is not credible and does not appear any more genuine than his business offering.

This is the best book on software engineering and project management.

1. Need standards for process, coding style, change control, documentation. Must be easy to move people between projects without massive retraining. Implies use only one programming language.

2. Change control is essential.

3. Some projects cannot be completed faster: Nine women will not produce a baby in one month.

4. Forced schedules will impact quality.

5. There is No Silver Bullet. There is implicit difficulty that cannot be changed by tools, process, training.

Just read the book!
Maybe this article is biased

I read the passage you quoted carefully, and I don't see the bias. Each sentence has been the subject of media coverage for the last five years or so.

Is there a specific sentence, or word to which you object?
I think that depends on how stocks are chosen when you are day trading. Limiting things to high volatility stocks for example creates a bias in your index fund approximation.

I found out about algebraic effects a year or two ago when I ran across the efforts to bring them to OCaml. Async/await was a preliminary thing so I though algebraic effects would be a more complete solution and more in line with the Rust ethos. After asking around in some NYC meetups and on Reddit , my impression is that there isn't a lot of appetite to break additional new ground in terms of bringing fringe language features (I'm unaware of a non-academic language that features them in a production release, OCaml is closest AFAIK) into a language that already has a fairly high barrier to entry.
Facial Massager
Why is that important? Can the witnesses not come up with the same hypothesis and picture the suspect's face without tattoos?

Going further, where exactly is the line here? Could police add tattoos if they suspected the suspect had temporary ones? If the suspect had long hair and cut it before the photo was taken, would it be okay for police to add similar hair to their photo? Could they airbrush out scars/freckles/etc? Change hair color?

How far should we allow the police to go to make a photo look like their suspect?
I say at least $5 trillion, maybe even $10T.

We have some pretty vanilla file upload code that needs async. S3 latency is fairly high. If you're uploading a few tiny files per user per second, thread usage gets out of hand real fast.

With a simulated load of ~20 users we were running over 1000 threads.

Several posts in the chain say that 20k+ threads is "fine". Not unless you have a ton of cores. The memory and context switching overhead is gigantic. Eventually your server is doing little besides switching between threads.

We had to rewrite our s3 code to use async, now we can do many thousands of concurrent uploads no problem.

Other places we've had to use async is a proxy that intercepts certain HTTP calls and user stats uploader that calls third party analytics service.

Just sayin it's not that unusual to need async code because threading overhead is too high
> They all agree that Gibsons frequently racially profiled students

There seems to be some legitimate dispute over that. And keep in mind that this was a libel case over fliers that claimed the Gibsons were racist. Truth is an absolute defense for libel, and racial profiling sounds like pretty strong evidence of racism.

So if it was easy to prove that the Gibsons had a history of racial profiling...well, why wasn't it done during the trial? :)
Funny how he says Americans can go anywhere days after he pushed for some Americans to be barred from going to Israel.
An advantage less smart people have over more smart people is that they get genuinely more impressed over others achievements. This means that they have a much easier time giving genuine compliments which is one of the most important parts when forming relationships.

Either that or the ability to tell white lies with a straight face is negatively correlated with intelligence.
Some people are more susceptible than others to feeling bad when accused of bad parenting due to their use/non-use of baby monitors...or any other parenting idea that has two or more alternatives (which is nearly any parenting decision a parent makes in good faith).

For many people, accusations of bad parenting have real world consequences...imagine your social media "admission" of non-use in the context of application for social services, court supervision, or child protective services investigation...or if you or someone you love tweeted about their non-use.

The needs that baby monitors meet are generally not those of the baby. Babies don't have Amazon Prime accounts.
