> ...no one in their right mind would look there for job postings

I'm not sure if it's quite the same thing, but 6-7 years ago I saw an employment ad from a well-known tech company in the local Craigslist, with only a postal address listed and no phone or email. I sent a paper resume to the address. They got back to me after a long delay, when I'd already found other work.
That’s an arbitrary definition of a country. You might as well say that you can’t have a country unless every has the exact same religion and skin color (which some people still believe, and is about as morally coherent as your idea of what a country is).
Oh ok. I was sure there was shenanigans like that but my speciality is not law. It’s lion’s share clauses all way down.
100% agree with you.

Discretionary testing also change the balance of power: before, patients had to beg for tests, but it was the doctor actions that resulted in the miraculous diagnostics.

But if you come with a test result in hand that force them to action, a bit like a car mechanic, doctors
are not the hero. You are - or random luck. They won't like that reduction in status.

Also, they can't CYA anymore. I had 2 people I know very well in a certain hospital for 2 very different problem - one this year, one last year. In both cases, the hospital very carefully avoided the one test that would force them to take action and operate on the patient.

After much pestering in one case, they relented and operated. In the other case, they didn't, so they could discharge the patient without health insurance. Dies the next month? Not their problem! They couldn't have known it was this specific issue as they didn't test for it. And they didn't test for it, because otherwise they would have had to provide the matching care to a patient admitted through ER.

Ignorance is bliss - for doctors and hospitals budgets.

I expect this sad case to be heavily publicized, as it frightens people just the way they want: tests are bad. Obey your doctors.
I think he might have referred to costly in business sense, because more bugs lead to more developer hours spent.

I don't see there any evidence that a major methodological mistake was made, or that these women did not receive expert opinion. This seems to be just science. There is a lot to discuss about reproducibility of science. But mistakes are and will be part of the process, because science can not absolutely prove anything. Scientist normally expect that assuming null hypothesis they will gather data falsely pointing something significant in 5% of cases. In reality it seems to be a lot higher and that is not good. But if the type of mistake from the article is indeed rare, I assume less than 5%, then taking chance of that mistake might have reduced the best guess of cancer only by some small procentage points. These women had to take very difficult decision under high uncertainty anyway.

But probably, the design of git, especially it's datastructures, started much earlier in Linus' head. I think he must have elaborted over this for quite some time.
Much more insightful than my lazy comment- thanks.
I think this point could use more commentary and context.

There are many verses which deal with “what now if the law?”, and I think a fuller understanding requires reading more than one of them.

For example, there is, of course, the parts about the dietary restrictions part of the law.

But that isn’t all. Male converts to Judaism were required to be circumcised, but NT verses say that this is not required to convert to Christianity (though, not phrased like that of course), and in talking about this, it also talks about what the law succeeds in, and what it, well, not fails in, but,
it’s insufficiency in the face of human failure?

I’m saying this not to say that the NT condones sex between two cisgender men (indeed, I believe that at one point after the resurrection, some apostles are on an island, and are telling the people there about Christ, and the text describes the homosexual sexual practices practiced by those native to the island as (in at least one common translation. This is by memory.) as “unnatural”, which seems to me to indicate disapproval, though I haven’t looked at commentary on how this was worded in the original Greek.)

I don't think WASM is meant to replace JS, but you the tooling is such that you can use it to replace JS and have the JS glue generated for you. But it does seem that in a couple of years it'll be on-par performance-wise with javascript, without needing any JS glue autogenerated.

--------

WASM vs javascript performance is a multi-faceted beast.

DOM manipulation? Probably not going to be as fast in WASM because you'll need a javascript bridge, though the cost of calling between WASM and javascript has been greatly reduced. Firefox has a nice post about it [0], and IIRC, chrome made similar optimizations since then.

For more computationally intensive things though, WASM can beat javascript. Though that's still a little nuanced because if you really know what you're doing, you can write your javascript such that the optimizer can work really well. The firefox team put out a nice post detailing writing a hot path in WASM and getting almost a 6x speedup in their real-world-ish benchmarks (so, take that with a grain of salt)[1].

You genuinely think that Apple could just go out and hire a citizen for the position? Hiring in tech is hard, and at the highest levels like FAANG employers all the talent (anywhere!) is basically tapped out. That candidate is reasonably the only one who's going to fit.

This is a spot where the libertarians are right. There's a space for protectionist regulation like this to preserve employment in industries that are being rapidly displaced or disrupted. But a mid-six-figure developer job at Apple Computer? Seriously? What human hardship is being salved by this policy? At best it's misguided government interference in a vibrant and very efficient market. At worst is just plain blind nationalism.
What is it that you are trying to build? Tough to recommend practical advice or monetization/funding strategies without knowing more.

>Tbh, I imagine the subscriptions only making a modest amount of profit if the project is successful. I'm fairly confident the bootstrap cost can be kept to a minimum. If costs start spiraling, or subscriptions just don't sell I want to walk away and continue doing contract work.

You are setting yourself up to quit. Unless you fall into something that people are willing to immediately throw money at then starting a real business is hard - especially as a solo founder.

You don't sound that excited about the actual product and it doesn't sound like you think its a billion-dollar idea, so why are you doing this?

Your 1/3 extra time is better spent finding an idea you are so passionate about you can't just walk away or working harder in your existing job to further your career and open up more opportunities in the future.
Ask HN: Bad Experiences with React Native Tooling?
I’ve had a variety of issues with code not executing as expected while developing with React Native the past few months. Sometimes directly related to hot reloading but a lot of times killing everything and restarting isn’t enough either and I still get code deployed either to the simulator or a device that isn’t consistent with what I’ve saved on the filesystem. Then there’s relatively frequent debugger/package server crashes on top of that. Because these issues tend to pop up randomly, but on an almost daily basis, I can never be sure if unexpected behavior I’m seeing is actually due to a problem in my code or some bad state with the tooling. Is this a common issue with other devs? I’m sort of surprised at what feels like an overall lack of quality that I hadn’t heard complaints about before trying it myself. It’s a big enough pain point I am actually considering rewriting this app in Swift on my own time — we only need to support iPad anyways.

Non-web developer here... I've personally never seen any Ruby in anything I've ever worked on (only personal, limited anecdote, of course).

I’d say you deal with it the same as in any other language(s): with consensus, coordination, and code review.

After all, if you are a Go shop, what’s stopping someone implementing their code in Haskell? Or someone in a Python shop deciding they want to use Clojurescript on Node.js for scripting? Or even within a language, if you are a Spring shop and someone wanted to implement their service on WebLogic?

Scala definitely had a culture of crazy experiments and bifurcation in the past, but it’s always been a matter of team culture rather than of the language itself: something that applies to all languages, especially as polyglot codebases become more common

Without Scala, but with the same lack of coordination, quite likely you would end up with 4 separate silos in your polyglot codebase, written in JS, Java, Python, and Haskell/Idris. Would that really be a better state?

Wouldn't it be fair to say a proper map can (more) directly represent a list, while a list can only be used as the underlying implementation of a map?

Specifically for lisp, a list is a sequence of cons cells, and you would have to do a linear search to look up a value by key - thus, it can function as a map from an Api point of view, but not in terms of performance?

That's why the common lisp "map" is a hash table, not a list?

I read it just a few weeks ago because of a recommendation.

I was surprised to read that this book became/was a bestseller in the category philosophy. I think its an interesting book, but its hard to read and i'm still curious why it resonated with so many people? Or what specifically.

One thing he mentions in the book has bee then electroshock therapy which was not as sever as he described it. He did not forgot his old him.

I also had the feeling to follow his illness with the obsession about quality. But more in a way you follow a schizophrenic. It becomes very unclear to me if he was a genius or became crazy. I had a friend with schizophrenia, he was 60% smart and knew his facts and then 40% have been just crazy like he believes in a stargate and has connections to the chines government. The problem with this person was very simple: i stoppend trusting him even if he was right to some extend.

I had the same feeling with this book. There is a high chance that his career downfall happend because he was in an illusion ale state. Especially at the end when he describes teaching in one university and taking the lecture in the other. That fued was probably very one sided and he imagined it. The others probably just saw some crazy dude.

There have been thinks which resonated with me, like this logically cutting of things. The balance between western and eastern (or was it asian?) philosophy.

I also really disliked how he handled his son. He did not sound like a good father.

Im very unsure what i took from this book.
That's basically the same pattern as the "outbox pattern", e.g. listed in Chris Richardson's pattern of microservices patterns.

An alternative implementation is provided by Debezium [1], a general solution for change data capture for MySQL, Postgres, MongoDB, SQL Server and others, based on top of Apache Kafka (but can also be used with Pulsar and others).

There's support for outbox coming as part of Debezium out of the box [2].

The v2.1 branch of moonjit specifically aims to remain "luajit-like" in the sense that it is the explicit goal to make sure we don't add incompatible features and we definitely don't make it so that if Mike Pall decides to continue development after a year (which he appears to have done, although one can never be sure given his record over the past few years), we can easily enough merge patches.

The master branch is where moonjit development is more active with people adding 5.2 and 5.3 features and new architectures too. It is in a way a different direction from luajit (since Mike specifically stated that he intends to remain incompatible with stock Lua because his dialect is better) and hence may not necessary converge with luajit if it ever actually comes back to life.

> The only reason this makes sense is because they’re _afraid_ somebody qualified will actually apply.

The process isn't cheap and isn't easy. All things equal regarding the employee and candidate, why would they be afraid of finding a suitable replacement?

They aren't afraid of finding someone qualified. They are afraid of finding someone who is not. They are not allowed to over-specify the job posting, and are not allowed to require something like years of proprietary knowledge. The employee and the candidate both have to be treated like fresh hires.

Edit: for example, in the Jony Ive green card process, a fresh University graduate would be able to displace him as a candidate. All of his experience was proprietary (gained while working at Apple) and therefore ineligible for consideration.

> I’ve found a quick-and-dirty way of identifying the unwarranted self-confident types is to ask them how they’d quickly put together a CSV parser - if they give an answer involving `String.Split` you can tell they don’t have a degree.

Hmmm. I have a degree in computer science, and I've written a parser. ( https://github.com/thaumasiotes/regexp )

I'm pretty sure it would be faster to put together a CSV parser using String.Split than to write a streaming parser to handle the problem. You did specify that you want this done quickly, right?

My immediate thought would be to make sure commas that appear in field values don't cause spurious splitting. After that, yeah, String.Split.

At what salary? Do any of the people qualified to be software engineers at apple work at google or Facebook, or in universities, or as consultants or entrepreneurs? Do any of them leave the pipeline earlier to become lawyers, physicians or get MBAs?

If they can’t hire enough at market rate, then that’s the narkets answer. I see no reason to create a shadow immigration system run through apple’s HR department to help them escape the realities of the market.

At minimum wage I’m sure there’s be lots of demand for talented engineers but vert lie supply. At a mil a year demand would fall considerably but supply would sure rise.
