Indeed, and from what I know the same is true for those at the top on social media platforms. I would think any hierarchy with mobility in it has aggression, risk-seeking and manipulation as key traits in those reaching and staying at the top.
Utterly fantastic reply!!!! Thank you :)
The contract with developers states that Jim will own the finished product. My role in the app development was to make the initial sketches & app flow (both in the beginning and during the development), some design stuff, and Android testing, so I guess it can be argued that Jim doesn't own 100% of the current app because I've contributed something to the development as well
Have you tried going into System Preferences, Security, Advanced (I think it's "advanced", it's at the bottom right of the screen.) There you'll find a list of drivers, or something, that you can enable. I can't be more specific than that since my mac here is under IT control, and the feature is disabled.
Similar to how the posix API works with struct arguments for extensibility reasons, in C++ you can pass structs by reference with named arguments and init them in place, like:

void dothing(const dothingArgs& args);

...

dothing({ .arg1 = 1, .arg2 = someOtherThing });

Register colouring should make it run the same as regular args for the most part in optimized builds.

This has two benefits:

1) Changing the order of the struct args won't introduce ordering bugs like with function signatures.

2) Default arguments are more explicit and there's less chance of breakage as the argument list grows over time and gets more default values, as tends to happen.

And 2 drawbacks:

1) Passing complex types as arguments without copying can be tricky.

2) The compiler errors don't tell you specifically which arguments are broken, at least in g++. This one sucks the most imo.

What I always wonder is: what will happen when Star Trek style replicators are invented, and physical goods can also be copied and printed out infinitely many times at practically zero cost? Will that coffee’s price drop to $0.01? If I replicate that coffee, will I be an illegal coffee pirate? Will the government make replicators illegal?
Wow, I cannot believe I'm seriously considering bidding on this thing :-).
The THC products are the actual culprit in the illnesses, and based on a review of all the evidence banning those alone would be more responsible. Really, the feds need to legalize cannabis and let the FDA regulate it instead of the current approach, which is "people using cannabis are all criminals and deserve to die."

edit - obviously not all THC vapes are causing illnesses, but the lack of regulation is making things very murky. There really needs to be a grown-up approach to them involving responsible regulation of the supply chain.
The newly graduated BS-CS is going to be expected to work at least 40 hours/week, with two weeks vacation, and to study outside work hours to get up to speed with his co-workers.

And his cousin, the apprentice electrician has been working 40 hours/week, with two weeks vacation, studying to become a journeyman and doing all those other things.

Why are college students given such a light schedule?

(I also worked my way through college, but that seems to be less practical now, since the price of college has risen much faster that wages for jobs that students can get. Although I think it is a good idea for students to have jobs off campus to get an introduction to real work.)
> or diagnose Afib is like bonus time

Careful with that as an assumption:

> In people younger than 55, Apple Watch’s positive predictive value is just 19.6 percent. That means in this group — which constitutes more than 90 percent of users of wearable devices like the Apple Watch — the app incorrectly diagnoses atrial fibrillation 79.4 percent of the time. (You can try the calculation yourself using this Bayesian calculator: enter 0.001 for prevalence, 0.98 for sensitivity, and 0.996 for specificity).

> The electrocardiogram app becomes more reliable in older individuals: The positive predictive value is 76 percent among users between the ages of 60 and 64, 91 percent among those aged 70 to 74, and 96 percent for those older than 85.

That being said, I will not at all dispute the ECG tools as very valuable.

Oh, you're going to love (hate) what I suspect will happen then:

> race conditions

I've gotten into multiple arguments with first-language-javascript devs who think race conditions can't happen in javascript "because it's not multithreaded". I'm thinking before they can accept this type of bug, it's going to get a new trendy name first, then all the old knowledge of "race conditions" continue to be ignored.

Yeah, nothing about JavaScript being single threaded implies any resistance to deadlock.

I disagree. When Apple Watch detects an event that it considers as a fall, it asks the wearer if he/she is ok. Failure to respond then triggers the 911 call. So being unconscious had a lot to do with it.
Is this a C++ feature or an extension borrowed from C?

for one thing, I don't mind ads in podcasts since they're usually relevant and use no tracking. Ads like those, are a pass. What I hate are the intrusive ads on the web & mobile that want to track the color of your underwear: looking at your fb. & I think the path to a sustainable open web is having a small dose of non intrusive ads e.g just a static banner for a sponsor on a site. no tracking or maybe coupon codes.
Or, why hasn't someone made it possible to use an Apple watch on Android?
and ill still be this bitter dude who doesn't want the 911 call to happen even when im unconscious. :(

Some async runtime libraries have started offering an attribute on `fn main` to make it async, which is pretty close to the same thing.
This cannot be a correct assumption. In western countries also most Enginnering jobs pay well above what other female-dominated (medical care) jobs offer. Then why don't select these well-paying jobs over ones that don't pay as much?
For some use cases, the difference can be a little more dramatic.

fetch(allResourcesUrl).then(async response => {
let allResources = await response.json();
let pageResource = await (await fetch(allResources.page1.url)).json();

// set up page with pageResource
});

can be replaced with

{
let allResources = await (await fetch(allResourcesUrl)).json());
let pageResource = await (await fetch(allResources.page1.url)).json();

//set up page with pageResource
}

Note use of a top-level block instead of a function context to hide local variables.

> perhaps not if you're an entrepreneur

It's an essential thing if you want to be a successful entrepreneur -- as long as you don't confuse skepticism with cynicism. Skepticism and optimism make a powerful combination.
Great take, thanks!
This points to the dual view of a relation - intensional vs extensional. The beauty of the relational model of data is the morphism: by evaluating relational operations on the extensional model (data) we gain can answer questions corresponding to intensional model (concept).

For example given the extensional data ALBUM(TITLE, ARTIST) corresponding to the intention "the albums, each with a title and artist", we can compute "the eponymous albums, each with a title" via EPONYMOUS_ALBUM = ALBUM where (TITLE = ARTIST)

We started with some data for a relation corresponding with a concept, and were able to operate on the data to produce a new relation - data corresponding to a new concept.
There was a good bit by Joanna Stern in the Wall Street Journal where she hired a professional stuntwoman; she was unable to trick the watch into thinking she had fallen, but the stuntwoman was able to by taking some hard falls.

> I don't think anyone would want to subsist exclusively on a diet of rice, beans, and dietary supplements.

I think this is a part of the problem in dominantly meat-eating cultures: they don't realize how diverse and nutritious plant life is. Treating meat and perhaps milk/eggs as real food and the rest as mostly fillers and in-betweens (I know I did).

Even without meat/milk/eggs/animal products, rice and beans, even barring all legumes and cereal grains, probably even barring all grains (e.g. amaranth, buckwheat, chia, quinoa, also sunflower, poppy, hemp..) there would still be enough plants life to have a diverse diet and probably even fully nutritiously sufficient diet without artificial supplements (a couple of micronutrients can be tricky, e.g. B₁₂).

Many, perhaps even most of the remaining diverse crops are currently notably more work to grow, but they should still have significantly less ecological impact than eating excessive amounts of meat.
A lot of those predictions were correct. The experts said the Great Leap Forward would be an utter disaster, and it was. They said the more conventional industrialization that followed would be more successful, and it was. They said the Cultural Revolution would be a disaster, and it was. When Deng switched to the free market path, the experts said it would work, and it did. And now they are saying that Xi's new semi-Maoism is going to turn out bad, and sure enough, it seems it is.

But I bet you already knew all that.
Tape still beats SSDs and hard drives when it comes to price per byte
So it watches your bloodpressure or something?

I figured it was the jerking-around. Maybe it looked to the watch like she had fallen down.

> As far as moving a URL from a Safari tab to Gmail, why not just copy and paste it? Tap once on the URL bar, the keyboard pops up with all the text selected, and there's a copy button right there. Or you can tap on the selected text to bring up the cut/copy/paste buttons.

Not the GP, but I can think of one reason not to copy paste, which is to avoid overwriting whatever’s already in the clipboard. However bad the discoverability may be, this function is just drag and drop, and need not involve the clipboard unless the user wants to.
There is no chance they are detecting extracellular action potentials with their giant skin surface electrodes. This is 100% EMG, which is a potential produced by muscle tissue. They might be able to detect very subtle EMG signals that don't correspond to visual movement, but they for sure aren't detecting APs.
Ya, apple watch. The hole was a foot or 2.

Reviewing the Code Review – Part II
I agree the Apple Watch is really useful this way. But can't an "independent" device do this?

It does not need to be tied to a phone or an app ecosystem (android or iOS) to work. It does need a cellular connection, and some logic on the device, but that's about it. This device would be cheaper and affordable to a larger set of people than spending upwards of $500(estimated) on an apple watch.
That's right, but I remember that Jim really wanted to have his name on that contract which I've accepted at that time since he was the one coming up with the money for development
> I argue that, in face of the extreme consequences of the proposed action ("burdening" instead of "no burdening"), "no burdening" should be the default action

You're wholeheartedly endorsing the idea I was using to mock you:

>> Every strategy has its successes and its failures. If that were a reason not to do something, you'd never do anything.

The consequences of, in your terminology, "no burdening" are just as extreme as the consequences of "burdening". That's obvious, because they are exactly the same consequences.

And the evidence that people will avoid doing things they might otherwise do, even at significant cost to themselves, for the sake of their family and close friends, is abundant.
Not that I've been able to find, but I'd love to hear otherwise.
This isn't a solution. There's no need to code block quote to begin with.
I'm in the exact same situation as you. Worked here for a couple years then left the bay area for a couple months in between jobs and came back.

Taking a step back allowed me to see how most people live outside of the bay area and how big our bubble is. As you I'm excited to be here but I take everything with a grain of salt.
You can disable pretty much all notifications from the watch, separately from your phone. I only use my apple watch for activity tracking, music while cycling without my phone, and things like checking the weather (and time, I guess).

As for them being ugly, at least Apple has a wide selection of bands, and the watch itself is as unoffensive as a rounded rect can be, but I feel you there. It's not a work of art, but at least it's not the house arrest bracelets that fitbit sells.
A feel-good piece at best, misleading at worst.
I’ve done that too. However it seems Gboard is much better at correcting mistakes, especially for Asian languages.
If you are getting mixed signals on these topics it is because there is no consensus.

>But after a lifetime in service of the feminist cause, she took on the case of a friend whose son she came to believe had been wrongly convicted of rape and won his acquittal on appeal.

This is one of the big ways in which sexism is a much more tractable problem than racism and less potentially explosive. Women and men both have members of the opposite sex that they genuinely love. I have heard that fathers with daughters make for a very tough jury in rape cases. A lot of the opposition to these title ix courts has come from mothers worried about their sons being falsely accused.

With racism, there is a pretty good chance that in some areas, a person of one race has virtually no one of another race that they genuinely love. This allows racial discrimination to last longer, and has the danger that when base emotions get appealed to by demagogues, there is less resistance.
I did this for my mom, who also refuses to switch to an iPhone. I got a cheapo/locked/unactivated 6s and paired the watch (non-cellular) to it. It gives me some peace of mind that at least it covers her at home; there have been a couple of times it got activated (fortunately false positives) and I can confirm that it definitely calls 911 in this scenario right from the watch if she doesn't acknowledge its warning in time.
I believe around 10 years ago, the price per gallon of gas was around $4. It's now around $2.50, so we have dealt with prices that high in the recent past.

burnout from dead end job
This makes sense to me. I was envisioning more a scenario where you spend some time in the big corporate world before going to a startup, and bringing best practices with you. But I suppose in the context of the thread that’s not exactly relevant.

I think if they were managing other engineers for an extended period and solving difficult technical problems as well, you could make an argument for hiring up to a team lead / senior engineer. Perhaps manager, if they have more extensive experience. Of course at most FAANGy places you will need at least 4-6yoe to be hired into these levels too.

I think the people sending you those resumes probably don’t understand that they should tailor their resumes for the type of job they’re applying for. And yes, if the startup was truly “does-nothing” that’s absolutely a red mark regarding how valuable their experience was. But it could be somewhat valuable for product work, at least at the entry level
> Historically, pregnant women and women with small children

These characteristics would have predated humans. Maybe pull the terminology back to male and female hominids in the future?
(Thanks for moderating the earlier statement, Major.)

I have a great deal more sympathy for this argument than for those upthread. This man [0] certainly wanted to go home. If we're moving the goalpost to this location, however, the debate is over. If "going home" is the aim, why not stay home in the first place? Nothing that USA military has done in the Middle East in my parents' lifetimes has made life better or safer for Americans or for humans in general. The only reason "the enemy" has "a vote" is that we're in their countries destroying their governments and killing their families. When we leave their countries, they'll lose any ability to affect us in any way. We should do that.

Many proud people have publicly claimed otherwise, so they'll be disappointed that we've finally rejected their bullshit. Still, the lives, health, and fortunes of Americans and other human beings is more important than the feelings of politicians and newsreaders.

How to fix our disturbingly unequal relationship with smartphones
China collapsed at the end of the Qing dynasty. There followed civil war and conquest by Japan. And then the Communists overthrew the Nationalists. And then you had the Great Leap Forward, and the Cultural Revolution, and then switch away from Mao to a mixed economy, and finally Xi's new Maoism. The history of China for the last century has been quite unstable, and so it seems quite reasonable to assume that one of these days there is going to be some more revolution.

It's obviously about Trump as a mean-spirited real estate developer, which he is well documented to be. The character is lampooning heartless big business' effect on neighborhoods, a common American sentiment even today. I don't think the lesson is making fun of Trump, the lesson is on how to put structure in thinking around neighborhood upheaval, what can be done about it, and that maybe it isn't your parent's fault. This is stuff I would be happy to put in front of my child. Certainly better than Transformers and Paw Patrol, which like 90% of kids programming, is about using guns to solve your problems.
I really want an Apple Watch for this and the EKG / Heart stuff. But I hate the idea of having another bit of technology on my wrist when I already have the iPhone with me. I like watches, the mechanical kind. I love them as the art of design and as fashion item to be match to what you are wearing (when appropriate). I do not want to give that up. In the end I will likely give in and get the Apple Watch just because I want to be around long enough to see my kid grow up.
