Unfortunately I can no longer edit my reply - please take my apology for misunderstanding your argument.

Back on topic of green cards: whether you want to bury your head in the sand or face the reality that foreign dictatorships will use their own citizens to infiltrate their rivals is up to you. If you want to take the high road you can, and likely be excluded from government contract work.

Don't get me wrong on one thing, the west is in a precarious situation of openly doing the same thing in certain cases - eg: Australia's draconian backdoor law. I will not hire or recommend hiring an autralian dev working in Australia - and you can call me a racist or xenophobe if you want, it will not change the reason for the decision.

Fortunately for an australian immigrant abroad they are not going to have their family black-bagged for failure to submit to their government. I don't have this confidence for Russia, and especially not China.

The situation with presidential qualifications is one-of-a-kind special. Hiring at tech companies isn't spelled out in the constitution.

Constitutional requirements can also be changed, and it is long past time that we do so. The country has been around for 2.5 centuries, and now has hundreds of millions of people. We wouldn't suffer a shortage of presidential candidates if we required that all 4 grandparents (determined all possible ways) and all descendants and spouses have been born in the USA, along with all living ancestors and descendants of all of those. The job is simply too important to allow otherwise. (this would disqualify the most recent two, along with failed candidates like Romney and Cruz)

For tech companies we shouldn't be quite so extreme, but it also isn't good to ignore the problems.
Having joined academia at one point and seen "how the sausage is made," and subsequently left for ethical reasons that I have no way of using to hold anyone to account, I totally understand this comment.

It is so hard to put into words how these systems are corrupt, because these systems create an enculturation / religion around themselves. By the time you see how the entire system works, you are powerless to simplify the mechnications that make that system corrupt (if you even choose to recognize the corruption). You can't "just start an alternative," because the system exists at a local maxima and will crush your alternative or assimilate it into the existing system.

When people are taken advantage of by these secular religions, it is so normal and engrained in the societal fabric that we almost don't have the language to expose the fundamental dishonesty and fraud of these systems. Victims will say that there may be some bad actors at the edges, but on the whole, "this is the way it's supposed to be."
I agree, but that's going to run out eventually, then you're in trouble with your list of 2 year stints.

There are massive safety implications.

We expect pressing the gas pedal to have a predictable outcome.

Subverting this expectation is potentially quite dangerous.

Consider that someone might temporarily exceed the speed limit while passing, legally, in the oncoming traffic lane. Then this system kicks in, they can't pass, and get hit by oncoming traffic because they're pinned by the car they tried to pass.
If the power density of batteries doubles the weight penalty likely disappears. Maybe that's not possible. But as electric vehicle production increasing there is going to be a lot of pressure to achieve that. With funding to match.
this author's argument falls apart upon even slight scrutiny. If tether caused bitcoin's huge 2017 rally, what about 2013 when bitcoin went from $100 to $1000 in the end of the year? Or 2016 when it went from $200 to $600? maybe it was just people buying. Coins that had nothing to do with tether, such as eth and ripple, on other exchanges besides bitfinex, also went up huge. I think tether's contribution to the 2017 bull market was negligible.

Note: This is what I've gleaned from my spouse, who runs an autism behavioral services company, so sorry if there are errors.

There are always gaps in the system. No matter what your issue, and no matter what the system.

That being said, once you're identified and diagnosed in the US, insurance is required to cover behavior analysis services until later than 18. But I'm not aware of any systemic services once you're in your late 20's, unless you're on the severe end of the spectrum.

The goal of those services isn't to "fix" or "cure" anything, as there's not a known fix or cure. Their goal is to help you with your goals. Often these include social interactions with peers to try to help you lead a life integrated with the rest of society. Sometimes it's academic (the goal is usually to have the students included in a general-education class).

But the real issue is the lack of available care. It's generally a very difficult field to work in, and there aren't enough providers by a long shot. The fact that insurance covers treatment helps, but it also creates a ton of demand. Clients who are younger than school-age can generally find services quickly and easily. But clients that attend school can see waiting lists for over a year in major metropolitan areas.

And it's difficult to attract people to the field. This is where insurance is a double-edged sword. By accepting insurance you have a large number of potential clients, but the rates that insurance pays are so low that it's difficult to attract quality staff. Think on the order of $15 / hr for the primary employees that the client will interact with. And it's not an easy job. My spouse ended up with major surgery that was likely the result of a client who grabbed my spouse by the hair and threw my spouse to the ground. It's hard to attract quality staff who will take that kind of risk for that kind of pay.

My spouse routinely hires high-school graduates and pays for training in the field, because it's the only way to fill those roles. Only to see the staff member leave after 3 months for another agency where they can get $2/hr more because they're already "experienced".

I think you’re right to connect “co-location” with “cruft”, though. “Co-location for the sake of the flourishing of cruft” is a management philosophy.

Are you saying that breaking up the company is always the action from an antitrust case? That's entirely wrong. See for instance the antitrust actions against IBM leading to the 1936 consent decree and the 1956 consent decree, which changed IBM's behavior but didn't break up the company.
GNOME experiences are very mixed for some reason. In my T460s with a 1440p screen GNOME was too slow. After tweaking all sorts of things I just switched to a tiling WM (sway). Part of that is software but there are plenty of things where you want the extra GPU. Compared to 10 years ago it's a first-world problem though, I agree.
Yes, thinkpads work great with linux. But if I'm going to shell out more than 4000 EUR for a top of the line P-series, I just don't want to end up with a laptop that does not hibernate or throttle correctly. For that, it is essential that the vendor provides a pre-installed OS with all the functionalities.

Linux for laptop is intel or amd on gpu drivers.

ECC is the stickler to my recollection. AMD apus don't support ECC. Xeons are usually bundled with NVIDIA cards, due to generally lacking on board video.

The AMD RX5500M may change this
https://www.amd.com/en/products/graphics/amd-radeon-rx-5500m

But that won't fix ECC. Xeon is usually bundled with quadro or radeon pro. I've not heard of a radeon pro option.

Barring ECC. I've got a first gen A485 2700u. Two NVMe drives, 32GB ram. With an option to go 64GB. Great Linux support. The trade off is weight. Since ryzen is not as power efficient at idle I need bigger batteries. Performance is next to an i5 8th gen u series.

Ice lake is just shy of AMD apu performance last I looked. But more power efficient.

I've moved on from a high performance laptop. I have an ITX build that fits into a camera case. For being a digital nomad. Then when at a coffee shop. I have a git lab instance in my home lab with CI/CD. Changes are committed automatically on save pushed and deployed to my home server. For testing code while I'm at the coffee shop.

AMD and intel both haven been phenomenal for linux. I have a low profile AMD wx2100 for my portable ITX build. Perfect for non gaming. I miss Nvidia

In case folks are curious about the underlying technical details, LADOT along with the Open Mobility Foundation (OMF) built the Mobility Data Specification (MDS) which are "RESTful APIs used to specify the digital relationship between mobility as a service Providers and the Agencies that regulate them."

API Spec: https://github.com/CityOfLosAngeles/mobility-data-specificat...

Uber, as they do, is refusing to comply with laws/provide data that would enable local governments to actually regulate them. As I understand it, the pilot phase was for Bikes/Scooters, but the intention is to require use of similar APIs by car based rideshare companies in the future. Which explains some of Uber's resistance despite this only currently covering JUMP Bike Share.

There's a number of other cities (NYC, Miami, Philly, SF, SJ, SEA, etc) involved with OMF/MDS. LADOT is one of the first implementations but they aren't doing it all in house. Much of the design/development of the mobility API spec and open source implementation[2] has been contracted out to Lacuna.ai (via Ellis & Associates, a wholly owned subsidiary)[3].

> Note that (4) may happen dozens of times in the course of a large project, and that every single revisit of the TDD tests is 100% wasted time.

^ That is what makes me (Note: I'm not the one you asked the question of) suspicious of the author's understanding.

This is the scenario they were describing:

> 1. write the TDD tests

> 2. begin implementation

> 3. discover an unanticipated consideration

> 4. rewrite the tests

Since the tests themselves didn't reveal the unanticipated scenario, that means it was in using a dependency, not in the API/interface of their code. Fair enough. But the argument that the tests are wasted is effectively saying "making sure the API/interface I was going to use actually worked" was wasted time.

I'm a fan of TDD, but hardly a fanatic, and honestly I've had limited opportunities to practice it lately. I think one of the major benefits of TDD is not using it, but the behaviors it teaches you - confirming your interface, making each piece small and decoupled - the things that make something testable happen to also be best practices for coding. This author isn't focused on the areas that actually doing TDD becomes complex, this author is tearing down those best practices by calling it "100% wasted time"

That's a much harder sell, and I'm not being convinced by this article.
the clock could come with cheap (and replaceble) IR remote for your button fetish - no need for that on the clock itself - buttons are nearly always the first point of failure IMHO, closely followed by screens.

Also you need to learn to use whatever limited UI /menus they've managed to cram into such limiting UI hardware, rather than the whole richness and usability of an app.

Not so bad for an alarm clock perhaps - until it has multiple daily//weekly alarms with custom sounds, custom snooze schedule, custom lighting profile, etc, etc - ah but a reason it doesn't have any of this stuff is because it would be too difficult to cram into a 3-button UI.

Anyway, a limited hardware UI is also much more problematic for many other appliances. Better just to do away with it completely (saving cost, improving reliability) and use a phone or cheap tablet which are ubiquitous these dayss, or even a new market for cheap dedicated universal smart remotes.

"Hungry Ghosts: Mao's Secret Famine" is a related book, which covers this phenomenon in 1950s China.

It's not a pleasant topic. Some people ate their children to survive. It's interesting though how very well meaning utopian policies can lead to this result. Planting the seed 5 ft beneath the ground will result in great crops because the seed will have to struggle and thus only the best seed will make it to harvest. And of course all that seed buried that far down didn't make it at all. But that is your fault, traitor, not infallible Great Leader's.

Under FDIC, any account less than $100K or so will be redeemed at par, even if the bank is completely and totally insolvent. Your checking account is actually probably backed 1:1 in reserves because your bank needs the cash on hand to match withdrawals at any time; it's your savings account that is less likely to be so reserved.

Furthermore, even in a fractional reserve banking scenario, your bank will have 1:1 assets backing it up, since the money it loans out is counted as an asset, although it needs to be recognized that the loan is valued at less than par because of the risk of default. There is quite a lot of legal regulations on what capital can back up accounts, and the minimum ratios of various kinds of quality of capital.

99% of problems one encounters while programming can be solved in C++ with std::vector and functions taking a vector in and producing a vector out.

The article's abstract mentions the Soviet Union explicitly:

They are available in Canada, for one...

https://www.dell.com/en-ca/work/shop/laptops-ultrabooks/sr/l...
I think the main point of the story should be the famine rather than the supposed cases of cannibalism. I don't think it's that unheard of for people to resort to eating human flesh (usually already dead) when starving.
And we're talking about millions of people starving to death. I'd be shocked if there were no cases of cannibalism.

Of course it does make for a pretty sensational title and probably better book sales.
May I humbly recommend you read the article before leveling a complaint about its content, as at least some of this was clearly addressed in the second section, starting above the fold.
I don't think that's fair. Our methods of determining oil reserves and our technology to extract oil from previously un-economic raw materials (shale oil, tar sands, heavy crude) have improved dramatically, which is the main reason for the glut of oil that we see today.
When I went to check out the new Apple TV+, the fine print mentioned that my usage of the service was contingent on my "device trust score", which depends on various metrics like how often I use my device, how many emails I send, etc. Considering I was trying to sign up in a web browser, it was a surprise that Apple may be tracking these metrics for me. I wonder if people that don't own iDevices will get lower resolution streams due to a lower social credit—excuse me, "device trust"— score

Thanks. The blog post could be edited a bit then. It says:

and the link points to https://help.github.com/en/github/supporting-the-open-source... where only Stripe Connect has a list of countries while wire is also a possibility.

It's not obvious that somehow out of beta means mandatory Stripe Connect and no wire transfer. Although I assume that perhaps you use Stripe for wire transfers too?

I think service-based games have been the only ones to really mesh their production with an "agile" software development. Most traditional one-and-done games that "ship" usually have a more big-deadline schedule, even if deliverables are broken up into smaller sections.
Parkinson's Law is incorrectly stated, as anyone who makes it to the second paragraph of the essay[1] can see. The pithy quote is just the opening sentence to the piece.

I strongly recommend anyone interested to just read the whole thing, because it's only 5 pages.

This seems like a really flawed way of approaching most things. Why assume anything? And if you're going to assume anything, why only factor in that one bit of information, and not any other context. How about the fact that he's been coding for 30 years and works at Google. Is that also relevant?
