I hear that lots but it always leaves me wondering, what is the thing that actually gets you to do it?

If the solution were that easy, there wouldn't be a problem.

fzero: I know people who work for google as contractors - they are paid VERY WELL.

This constant insistence that google contractors are being paid $30K to do work that $171K engineers are doing in the same geo area is totally false. That does not happen. I am open to a specific example, but I'm not aware of one.

To be a google contractor you need a contract that has google's name on it (or Google LLC etc). That is the literal definition of being a google contractor. You get a 1099 from google. If this describes you - you are, on average, paid well.

Google flies on US airlines with highly paid and unionized pilots - I don't think they care.

Are you confusing google contractors with employees of a large non-google business?
>A set of troubling charts shows how little progress nations have made toward limiting greenhouse-gas emissions.

When countries have made real progress "toward limiting greenhouse-gas emission" one would not need charts to see it: it would be immediately evident in everyday lifestyles, consumer habits, and energy use...
Eddie Lampert, former CEO if Sears, seems to have gotten away with it.
> As someone who is working with X11, I strongly disagree. It really needs replacing badly. It doesn't even work; only a few code paths even get tested on for example GLX, which is why complex X11 apps like browsers need blacklists.

Blacklists are needed because OpenGL drivers for specific hardware have bugs and can have missing functionality. Those can affect Wayland too, since the same drivers are used.

Modern Xorg supports direct rendering well, Keith Packard authored a lot of modernized infrastructure such as DRI2/DRI3, and even support for VR (work he's been doing for Valve).

There's also the important VK_display_timing extension implementation he's done with Croateams Alen Ladavac:

Sadly, I don't see much more recent activity from him or Alen about these topics, but it shows that Xorg is still the main platform of inovation for Linux real-time graphics needs.
Hi there. I’m around to answer any questions!
Your translations/guesses are correct, "mala mala mala sunt bona" is afaik an invented phrase, not entirely unlike "I Vitelli dei romani sono belli" (which is bilingual Latin/Italian, meaning in italian "The calves of the Romans are beautiful" but meaning in latin "Go, Vitellio at the sound of the Roman war god") to trick/have some fun of Latin students, while "Soli soli soli" was a phrase sometimes inscribed on sundials.

Anyway, yes, the Merge and feature can work just fine outside of "toy models" the note was about about they soon becoming complex.
Real world or lorem ipsum examples would give a better idea of how beautiful the trees are than just single digits.
Even at 25, I'm starting to find a lot of "adult" social "events" incredibly contrived and stuffy. Relationships after college and in business are different and I'm immensely okay with that. I still have great friends that I've met through common activities but we're usually incredibly focused on said activity and that's why we get together, not just gathering for the sake of gathering.

Living in a big city quickly became something I didn't see value in after my social life made this kind of shift. I also stopped drinking and stopping seeing much value in "signaling" wealth / success to others. "going out" with people I work with is simply unprofessional and weird (not because I don't drink) and frankly I'm confused why my generation actively tries to facilitate these kinds of overlapping "friendships".

I completely understand when friends of mine tell me they're just too tired or don't have the energy to hang out. I do find it offensive when their reason is "my girlfriend / wife said I have to do this" etc.
>If he fires the whole board

It's game over at that point. Kiss the IPO goodbye, kiss the $6B in lines of credit goodbye, kiss any further investment from Softbank goodbye. With their burn rate, they then have MAYBE another 6 months before they become insolvent. That having been said, it would be quite the Pyrrhic Victory for Softbank, might even mean their demise as well.
>India will eventually have the largest total emissions, which is fine because per capita is really low.

Earth doesn't care about "emission per capita" though, it just cares about the total sum of emissions...

So "India eventually [having] the largest total emissions" means a huge extra tonnage of emissions will be added to the already troubling amounts...

So, the per capita number is mainly relevant in regards to fairness...
The brain is like a muscle. But the info age isn't a gym workout. It's doing curls with cans of soda. The info age "workout" creates fatigue, not muscle.

While, it's not necessarily info age / distraction age centric, I suggest checking out the book "Your Brain at Work" by David Rock.

I believe most of the developers who love coding would easily agree with Stallman.

Unfortunately most of the world doesn’t care about code and they have every reason to be that way.

So strategic decisions that push us towards less optimal minima are quite expected.

TL;DR humanity doesn’t care about the pipe dream where everyone knows how to program and change things for themselves. they want finished products that do something.
Introverts are often harassed with "why are you so quiet?" and "why don't you <do activity xyz>?" questions that seem innocent, but are actually attacks by people who are unable to let them be themselves.
I recently got married in my 30s, and I had a difficult time choosing who to be my groomsmen, because while I do have quite a few people I could call good friends, I no longer had anyone stick out that I could really call a "close" friend or a "best" friend.

We get together and mostly do activities, like play games or watch movies or go out to eat, and we will help each other out if someone needs it, but I don't really feel too comfortable opening up to them emotionally (well, nothing super personal at least).

I don't really feel lonely, and can talk about most things with my spouse, but I miss having alternate opinions on things.

I especially miss when I had like 20 people on instant messenger that I could have private conversations with on any given evening like I did 20 years ago, because it seems like no one does that anymore, at least not my age. Or at least it seems harder for me to find those people, at least.

Facebook Messenger has the problem where everyone is always online but you can't tell if they're online because they want to chat or online because they're checking their news feed.

The main purpose of the app is to be spyware. The messaging & photo-taking aspect of it is secondary and is just there to give you a reason to install the spyware. If they could get people to install it without those features they wouldn't even bother developing them.

The same applies for most "free" apps (especially social media) and the reason why I don't use nor recommend anyone else uses them. I've tried hard to accept the nasty behaviour as a trade-off of the functionality the app provides but the downside always outweighed the upside.

That only applies to most modern warheads. Older warheads had much less safety features.

What I gathered from that article was how all of those tangential problems would have been approached with different perspectives if there was more decision-making representation from currently underrepresented people.

Instead of taking on any government contracts because "we can't be responsible for what an administration does and can't predict how they'll be viewed in the future, and the only way we'll get any blowback for this is if that country got invaded by multiple coalitions at once and all of their administrative records are leaked, what are the odds of that!"

Its might be "hey maybe their views are also affecting our customers, and also the other people on the board and their families, here is a different way we can boost revenues"
What about non-vc backed high tech startups, which are the by far the majority of tech jobs? (my company, fwiw) We have investors sure, but the two founders retain the control. All of the companies we have acquired were in similar situations. In fact it is precisely not until you get to VC-backed startups where this becomes surprising, such as in the GP comment I was referring to.

If you actually make money, have positive cash flow, and have a sustainable business model, you don't have to give up control. The investors will come to you -- foreign concept to the SV-SF "high tech" bubble, I know.
It's also pretty short-sighted because ICE does some uncontroversial things (border crossings, customs), and a lot of the flak they've been getting is from actions pushed down to the from the administration. Now, they're also not known for being defenders for human--or even constitutional--rights.

It seems more effective to donate $2,800 to pick-a-democrat. Or Mark Sanford.

Ah, I didn't know it was based on a book. Now I need to find the book. I suspect they will be very different experiences. Seeing the deep emotion of the interviewed really did well to convey the human elements.
I think his argument was that if a company uses the name "We", it should have a certain type of ownership structure. The interpretation could probably be further extended to other names that signify plural governance. That sounds reasonable to me. I can't infer ownership implied by all plural pronouns though, so I suspect your interpretation is probably too general.
Remember leftpad?
> Rendering live audio is quite demanding: the system has to deliver n seconds of audio data every n seconds to the audio hardware. If it doesn’t, the buffer runs dry, and the user hears a nasty glitch or crackle: that’s the hard transition from audio, to silence.

I think you can do better when a buffer runs dry. Instead of outputting silence, you could output the same frequency spectrum as you were right before the event. That way you will not hear any cracks or pops.

And of course you can fade out the effect when the buffer stays dry for more than a few seconds.

Obviously, you'd have to do some filtering when the audio continues because that too can introduce cracks.
Nope. That is, my hobby is my computer.

That's why I'll never get in the Star Trek transporter. It takes you apart into information, then reconstructs you somewhere else. But it reconstructs a clone of you - you are dead. The clone believes the transporter works perfectly, and the clone was transported.

The Volkswagen Foundation is completely independent of the company named Volkswagen. It was found with the proceeds from the sale of the company to private investors by the state of Lower Saxony and the Federal Republic in the 60s and receives the dividends of the still publicly held shares. It's not a company foundation and Volkswagen has no say in any form. It's just a large public science foundation.
What stunt? He removed an open source library from his own personal account because he felt the nazis shouldn't be using his software. It's kinda like when IBM sold the nazis hardware to keep track of the Jews.
Take comfort in knowing that whatever "skills" you acquire now means nothing
to an employer (perhaps yours) who can readily find them in far younger and
cheaper recent grads who are much better trained in said skills. So kick

something about it, which at 35+ with kid in the forecast, you cannot.
Anyone have actual recs for companies?

Even startups now seem to rely on coding challenges that have no relevance to roles they're recruiting for. Or even worse, they'll trim down a take home and just use that as a "real world" coding challenge (while watching you do it and expect perfection in 30 minutes or less).
Take an extreme example. If a VC decided to invest $1b in a lemonade stand run by a 7 year old and the whole thing falls apart, then yes I would blame the VC for not conducting proper due diligence and enabling someone who neither had the right business for $1b or was the right leader to execute on that business in the first place.
You felt the need to make a top level comment containing the two most common tropes of climate change denial: a vague interpretation of and gesture towards some "real data", and a nod to the idea that what's really wrong about AGCC is the degree to which people are interested/concerned.

My points being:

A. You can window any exponential function and make it look linear, especially when it contains a lot of noise like this one, and

B. You may find that people are increasingly unlikely to take you seriously when you format your opinions like this.
I'm not sure they can replace all of them. They are dependent on someone selling the DVDs.
Exactly. I suspect this type of communication helps dealing with cognitive dissonance.

In my view it has become a cost/performance decision. There are still some cases where analog signal processing is the only way, or the cheapest way, of doing something. There will always be a place for the electronic equivalent of "last mile delivery," at least for getting stuff in and out of the analog domain.

One of my projects at my day job was an analog front end for a digital system, where part of the analog circuit was attached to a sensitive optical detector held at liquid nitrogen temperature. But the majority of signal processing was done in the digital domain.
I was responding to this claim about seniority based unionized workforces

"People on the upper end will not stop contributing or trying".

I was interested in the citation for this given the anecdotal info I had which involved high performing folks trying to find more rewarding work elsewhere.
It is a bit more complicated than that - FB investors used SPEs rather than held the shares directly. When the number of SPEs got too high those SPEs themselves reorganized moving the investors more levels down.

Far less than you might think. For example the wide range of neurochemicals would be largely unnecessary if that was the case.

Curious how'd you define "junior"?

As someone with about a year and change of experience out of college and 1.5 yrs of professional "co-ops" during college - I still consider myself very junior but feel at a disadvantage to NCG's. Especially since my team at a FAANG was flushed giving me a weird work history :/
>WeWork is and will be a great company, no matter what.

That depends on their financial state. If they over expanded with the expectation of future capital to cover future contractual costs then they'll need to find a way to cover those costs without funding. That could be impossible without declaring bankruptcy.
It'll move away from the IQ 'brand' and move to job performance or some other easier-to-measure metric. I'm actually okay with this, I'd much rather they be honest that a particular enhancement is only good for particular things.
At a certain point, you need to stop listening to what people say and start looking at what they do.

In this case, there is a clear mismatch in terms of what Adam is saying and his behavior as the CEO of this company. If WeWork’s mission is really to be one of empowering people to work the way they want, its governance structure and actions by those at the top need to reflect those values.

Put simply, the CEO himself isn’t living up to the core values of the company and needs to be dismissed.
If you honestly believe that ICE are Nazi's what are you doing posting here? The second amendment is a thing. Why are you not fighting Nazi's?
This topic is also of interest to me. I work on a compositor integration protocol called virtio-wayland that is intended to allow Wayland apps running inside of VMs to communicate with a Wayland compositor on the host, shared memory and all. It's used for the Linux apps support for Chrome OS.
I start a new job on Wednesday for this exact reason. My remote gig was awesome until the depression kicked in. I didn't know that about myself; I need to physically be around other people.
Part of the pipeline problem is that you're not winning over the most high achieving minority students to stem. I remember there was a Mexican American woman in one of my calc classes that was easily the best student and smoked everyone else (granted, it was at a second rate state school), but when asked what she wanted to do, she said she was going to be a dentist. People coming from underrepresented backgrounds don't want to spend 8 years doing a Phd, then a ML bootcamp, all so they can make low 6 figures at a job that could be outsourced or H1Bed at any minute when they could instead go to medical, dental, or law school and have a respected and well paid career.
Brutal but real once you hit 45 it's really harsh the unemployment system also gets hard to use because nobody wants you it assumes a lack of age discrimination and also assumes the economy is always strong plus they haven't raised the ceiling for EDD since 1976 so there is a lot to be worried about if you're over the age of 22 these days .
It's a feature really. A bomb that is too safe has lower detterance value. And because we really don't want to have a nuclear war it would be irresponsible to have bombs that are too safe.
I don't like the idea all around. I looked at the site you referenced and it brings me no advantage over how I read books today. I honestly don't think an HTML variant of books are what people are after. What I want, as a consumer, is an identical workflow to how I buy paper books and I want as close to a paper reading experience when I choose to buy an electronic book. It looks like you've positioned yourself to be a walled garden publishing platform. I want to be able to download my books. The formats that exist today do a good enough job to read on devices. My Sony eReader from 2011 works still. I got a great ROI out of that device as I've read hundreds of books on it. I don't want books as a service.

And no, not all outlets are DRM'ed. I'll say it again: how you're doing books brings no advantages and, some additional disadvantages. No thanks.
"Output the same frequency spectrum" - takes some considerable processing! We're usually working in time-domain, not frequency-domain. I think you're saying do a load of processing to fill the gap when you don't have time to do processing?

> The NYT, a fairly left-leaning paper in a left-leaning city

I think American "left" and the Left everywhere else are entirely different things. As a leftie in the UK, I do not recognise the NYT as left at all.
While border crossings and customs are themselves not controversial for merely existing, how they are administered is definitely a source of controversy.
You can simply not connect it to a Wi-Fi network. It supports transferring files over USB according to the documentation [0], though I haven't really tried that.

Their FAQ also mentions that you can use the device without their cloud service [1]. I believe the handwriting recognition (which isn't really that useful IMO) requires to be online.

It’s also worth noting that the same result would have happened if I’d died. My will requests the immediate deletion of “all Internet accounts”. Such an action (deleting my GitHub account) would have had a very similar result.
It is impressive that you feel justified in making no arguments but will try to bring down people who do. Are you British by any chance?

Inability to argue? Check. Inability to reason? Check. Becomes defensive when asked to think about closely held but illogical views? Check. Judges a person's argument based on their identity/background (I am assuming that is what "who told you" is about)? Check.

At the very least, try to make an argument. Weak.
So the issue seems to be the nature of the work ("I did not find the work challenging or interesting, I felt like a cog in a well-oiled machine and easily replaceable").

A simple solution: start your own small business.

Write an app or a web service and sell it to people.

The work will be as challenging and interesting as you want and you'll be the ultimate decider. A supreme leader of your own organization.

Note: by "simple" I don't mean "easy".

I'm doing exactly that, I'm working on a project that I hope will become an income generating business (https://presstige.io, for full transparency) but it's risky and requires lots of work.

Also consider than your ennui is more about how you look at things than objective reality. Many people would be deliriously happy with a stable, safe, well paying job writing code and I'm sure many people are quite happy doing exactly that.
How Long Will Unbreakable Commercial Encryption Last?
I guess it would be enforceable. The problem with those sorts of license restrictions are that in general no one will use code licensed that way.
