McKinsey gets paid ungodly sums in part because they are the archetype of the old boy's club. Their new hires usually come only from top business schools, and likely already have several years under their belt at the types of companies McKinsey gets business from. In addition to that, most banks already have several ex-McKinsey people on staff anyway.

Boston Consulting Group are in the same tier. Back in college, BCG and McKinsey were the holy grail of employers for pretty much all Econ/Finance students who didn't want to go the IB route.

> The system where we reduce interest rates to spur spending to stimulate the economy (probably) don’t work when interest rates negative.

Sure it will. We're just in the early stages of the government abusing the Fed & USD for spending expansion, they've yet to begin getting truly outlandish on what could be done. They'll pump up the government spending projects, directly funded (subsidized) by the Fed's policies. It will continue to work at least for a while yet. 30 more years at a minimum, based on what Japan was able to manage (with a weaker currency (ie not the global reserve currency), in a weaker economy, lower incomes, with far less wealth to debase).

Negative rates means you get a 'free' national high-speed rail project. You get 'free' $2 trillion in infrastructure spending. You get 'free' expansion of Medicare down the ladder and Medicaid up the ladder (likely lessens the tax hammer short-term anyway). I mention those things because the next President after Trump is guaranteed to be a Democrat and is guaranteed to pursue some variation of those general things (high-speed rail is questionable, unfortunately). We're likely to enter a window in the next decade, where the US can float a trillion dollars for 30 years at 0.5% or lower. We desperately need to violently take advantage of that small window of opportunity to build a national high-speed rail network and pull off a once-in-a-generation repair of our infrastructure. The voters will support it in that time frame.

You don't need to be on the official list to acquire diplomatic immunity (that would be an easy way for foreign regimes to deny diplomatic immunity). There are chefs, drivers, etc. who have diplomatic immunity but are not on the official list (because that would unreasonably lengthen it).

Additionally, the RAF base her husband was stationed at is legally considered an annex of the US Embassy in London, so arguably she did have diplomatic immunity at that point in time.

She has since returned to the US which means diplomatic immunity no longer applies to her, but as far as I can see, she was covered by immunity at the time of the incident.

"Without him, Linus might have chosen to have kept Linux closed-source"

[citation needed]

Linux 0.01 was released under a custom license, and IIRC the switch to GPL was under 0.12. The original inspiration was - if there was any beyond "I have a 386, I must write a kernel" - Minix, not GNU. Which was designated a learning OS. And comp.os.minix was where Linus first talked about Linux publicly.

The idea that "without Stallman, he might have kept it closed-source" is somewhat far fetched.
> Almost nobody wants to overthrow capitalism. People want to make adjustments to the current form of it to address concerns.

You are right, and that is exactly the problem, since it is something history proved impossible to be reformed.

EDIT: reforming capitalism is a long term desire from part of the humankind. It is not a new idea and has yield very long discussions [1]. So, the big idea today is indeed how to overthrow it in favour of another form of social organization.

Unfortunately if there were such audits, I can practically guarantee that it would end up being bottom-dollar devs employed through unions or insider dealings. And the larger companies like equifax would likely have a deal allowing them to self audit to some extent.

See: Boeing, iso certifications, building inspectors, health inspectors, any large civil engineering or aero firm, etc.

To be clear, I do agree that it is absolutely needed in the US. I just have no idea how you could implement it. Culturally the US seems to think that asking forgiveness and looser regulation for businesses is the right direction.

The problem with most research operating systems is the benefits are only achievable by rewriting userspace applications as well to take advantage. Given how long it takes to write a desktop environment and a web browser, it's not really surprising there isn't wider adoption.

FWIW, those are still in use. Here's the (rather interesting) relationship:

* UT1 is really not a time, but an angular measurement - it measures the rotation of the earth. In UT1, a day (= 1 rotation) has 86400 seconds (= 1 rotation), but those seconds are not SI seconds.

* TAI is time since some fixed epoch, in SI seconds. In TAI, a day doesn't really exist as a primitive concept, but a day (=1 rotation) has a variable number of seconds, and those seconds are SI seconds. TAI and UT1 diverge over time, continuously (due to earth's rotational speed variations).

* UTC is sort of an amalgamation of them: it uses SI seconds (like TAI), but occasionally jumps a second to keep close to UT1. In UTC, a day has 86400 seconds, or 86399 or 86401, and those seconds are SI seconds. UTC and TAI diverge, and their difference is piecewise constant with occasional jumps. UTC and UT1 diverge, but at most a second continuously, and then with occasional jumps come together again.
AKA, it’s different this time.

On a file open for writing, close(2) may return EIO. If you ignore the error, you have silent data loss. So you must propagate the error.

The double-close pattern is just the easy way to accomplish this in go. You defer fp.Close(), and then return fp.Close(). The return fp.Close() closes the file and propagates the error. Afterwards, the deferred fp.Close() executes, but this simply returns an error (which is ignored) because the file is already closed.

The behavior of fp.Close(), the fact that it is safe to call multiple times, is documented in the Go documentation.

There are alternative ways to achieve the same effect but they require more code. So I use the double-close pattern everywhere, and then put a comment in every time I use it.

I actually know of a Peruvian consultancy (HQ in San Francisco, but devs in Peru) that pays devs 20 bucks an hour to crank out business logic code for firms who have no tech competency and are willing to spend 4-5 figures to build an intranet or write some db logic.

The number of businesses who would benefit from some onsite scripting or automation is huge, as is the number of customers who get fleeced by these outfits and are stuck with unmaintainable code and need to keep sending regular checks to the consultancy to keep things going.

And don't get me started on the security of the code these outfits produce.

I built a website change detection and alerting system. You create a list of URLs (pointing to text, documents, images, anything) and the system will continually check it to see if that thing has changed, and will email you if it has.

For example, users currently track sites and PDFs for a new request for proposal (RFP) so they don't miss new requests and they will be the first to know when its posted. The tracking tasks are not suitable for something like watching a price on ebay, this system is best for longer term monitoring campaigns.

Note: I am not a professional developer by any stretch of the imagination. I'm building some side projects, learning new ideas, talking to new people, and trying to have a bit of fun along the way.

As a free-market proponent who isn't 100% sold on all of the democratic socialism stuff, I don't understand how anyone can deny that having your literal physical well-being tied to your employment is not an enormous problem for anyone who values the efficient allocation of labor/capital (which should hopefully be everyone?)

It's literally just a cash-equivalent (in that nearly every employer is going to provide a plan, and you'll need to pay for health coverage somehow, whether it be in taxes or in premiums) part of your compensation that is also coincidentally an enormous arbitrary sticking point that makes moving jobs that much more of a pain and danger.

I'd guess they are railing not against immigrants that undercut their £8/hour bar work but the executives at the top of companies that can earn millions, even many millions a year, while the yoof serve them drinks from the bar at £8/hour. Even more so when those executives prove incompetent or corrupt.

It's an annoyance of mine in so many company blogs that going to their actual product is so oddly difficult. Sure, I can chop off the URL because I understand what that is, but what about non-technical users? They understand links, not a damn thing goes back to the core product.

It's so weird to me that so many blogs are built around user engagement and SEO, while lacking back linking to the actual product at all.

I've never understood it, but I see it so so often.
