I agree. I don't think we should be importing any workers. We have 330 million people and that should be plenty. Importing workers disincentivizes US elites from developing our own local work force. And importing workers hurts the nation that is losing workers. Shouldn't all the indian tech workers be used in india to help india develop? Isn't it morally wrong for a wealthy nation like the US ( or wealthy political entity like the EU ) to leech indian workers since it hurts india? I keep hearing that "brain drain" is a bad thing by the media. And yet, the media celebrates brain drain when it comes to india, china, etc. Why?

And if I think the US has enough people to fill its workforce needs, then it applies even more to the EU since the EU has 200 million more people in a much smaller space.

Instead of bringing in foreign workers, shouldn't the EU be asking why it can't fill the jobs from 500+ million people? Don't you think 500 million people is a big enough pool from which to draw your workforce?
I do wonder if this is just a scenario where there's no way to win. The person writing this blog post has exactly the same interview prompt - something went pop when the board was powered up - but they expect candidates to spot subtle things like missing decoupling capacitors that almost certainly aren't the cause of the problem.
I asked myself almost the same question. It should be pretty easy to get radioactive material there for a couple of dirty bombs.
Some might call this a jaded and a cynical view but is one that I have also observed and concluded that is more realistic than we care to admit.

It is not a conspiracy, it is not a predetermined plan, it just happens that certain kinds of people get promoted to leadership positions in these organizations. It is a survival phenomenon, an evolutionary principle at work. The organization does its best to ensure the future of the organization.
I don't think it should be as hard as the US, but then again, there's endless abuse from the consulting companies there, and I believe that the salary floor, while it could be higher, goes a good way in curbing the abuse (in the EU)

I also think companies act naively in hiring, thinking it's just a matter of bringing people to fill seats (which might make sense for the "consulting companies"), also that cultural differences are easy to deal with (that goes both ways and it can either be good or bad)

>I am instantly suspicious - Research & Development conjurers an impression of lots of research and a hint of development.

Not to me. It could as well be an equal split of research and development, or fairly basic research focused mainly on product development.

>I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but this evidence is unreliable. It might be a straight proxy for industrial development.

Industrial development still needs R&D to compete with industrial development in other parts of the world, it's not like statically applying what the state of the art was in the past.

In several areas we've seen the Chinese go from the same path the Taiwanese, South Korean, and Japanese went in the 60s to the 80s and 90s. From copy cats, to high quality manufacturers and eventual innovators.

One example whose products I've used: DJI for example is the leader in drones and perhaps gimbals, and even started to take down GoPro.

A post office branch located just outside security that is stocked with 100x the normal number of the cheap flat rate bubble wrap envelope so that people not wanting to lose their items can mail things they shouldn't fly with home or to their destination and then get back in line.

To go even further (i.e. something that isn't zero net cost), a great many of the things that you can't carry on can be checked. It wouldn't be hard or particularly costly (though obviously it would still cost something) to reserve half yard of space for those kinds of belongings and find some simple way to make sure they get on the plane and get to their owner.

So you are countering that people should be pressured to discuss deliberations?

Science or not, you shouldn’t even feel forced to discuss what you had at lunch yesterday, no matter how many billions are at stake for corporations.

As you say, this is science, there is absolutely no reason to attack the people, when you can provide independent scientific evidence to support your own conclusion which might be counter to their. Then it becomes a question of evaluating the evidence, not evaluating the people.
Will Automation Lead to Economic Crisis?
Sometime in 2010, I met the founder of FanDuel, who did a soft pitch on the company and the upside. I briefly contemplated applying.

A few years later, as the company rose to unicorn status, I was wondering if I should have done so. After the massive fall and the takeover that left the founder CEO with nothing but a lawsuit[1], I am now again padding myself on the back for not pursuing this.

The FanDuel / Draftkings story is now a cautionary tale of taking too much VC money with too little organic/non-purchased growth in my books.

This kind of promotion creates the tense atmosphere around Rust in the community.

I wonder if anyone has read the linked article?

The overhead of goroutines are well known. The article describes the problem and a solution.

Now someone who got bitten by the overhead of goroutines complains with a (understandable) little bitter tone. He has a good explanation for the issue and why he didn't use Rust but Node.

Citation:

>> I started exploring various options ranging from Rust, Elixir, Crystal, and Node.js. Rust was my second choice, but it doesn't have a good, stable, production ready WebSocket server library yet. Crystal was dropped due to conservative nature of Boehm GC, and Elixir also used more memory than I expected. Node.js surprisingly gave me a nice balance of memory usage and speed.

Then someone didn't seem to have read all the stuff comes around and smartly calls "Use the awesome Rust".

Even as a Rust user myself I get annoyed.
Do you want to sit on the board of my startup I could use your advice?
That's part of the right approach. The US should - to the extent possible - be very aggressive in uptraining its workforce, while simultaneously importing all of the best talent from overseas that wants to come to the US. There's more than enough economy to do both things.
We have the same tradition in Norway, probably stole it from our neighbours.
“ AI is linear algebra that costs x1000 because of the brand name.”

This doesn’t even make sense because it can be said about anything involving numerical work on a computer and it’s still roughly true. Also because all of the libraries are free anyway.
Wow, for a moment, there, i thought we could esacpe moral what-about-ism with the fig leave of legal trickery and pretend to be civilized again.
>My favorite example of this is a Chinese friend who cashed out of a startup for $22 million but is still a failure because he didn't get a college degree.

In such a consumerist society as the Chinese, I doubt many average Chinese consider someone with $22 million "a failure".

That could be some academically educated relatives and friends considering him a failure, sure.

But then again that could (and has been) the case in families with heavy academic backgrounds in the US too, where the doctors / university professors / etc for a couple generations parents look down upon the mere "entrepreneur" kid.
Electronic waste, which is even worse than thoughtless waste. All this just so that he/she could “impress” potential employers.
Part of the controversy is around what constitutes a demonstration of safety.

One is "i fed it 50 rabbits and they were all fine the next morning";

another is "LD50 (50% died) within 24hrs of consuming X milligrams per kg of rabbit weight, which well above expected levels present in food";

Another is "more tumours in these 500 rats who were fed glyphosphate - exposed crops, than in these other 500 genetically identical rats fed the same but organic version, after 9 months"

> To be fair, cashing out of a startup for $22 million and being educated are 2 completely different things. I suppose with his new found wealth, he has the means to pursue success in education as well as business ;-)

Or one could begin to the see the obvious lack of correlation between having a 'formal education' and that of being financially comfortable. Wasn't the paragon in Tech to be a successful drop out because of the opportunity in this Industry after all? It being a collective big middle finger to the soul crushing nature of the corporate World, and saying to the World their is a different/better way.

In my personal opinion, I think its more one of conformity at best, and signalling of an accepted cultural identity at worst when it comes to Asian culture and degrees. I worked in a lab with almost all of them being primarily of Asian countries (including India) and all of them showed a distinct lack of understanding of what they were doing day to day, or any awareness of or the implications of what their work/labour was doing other than earning money for the company that allowed them to be employed. It was really bizarre and made me feel isolated from work place interactions.

But I came to the conclusion back then that most of it was because they were overworked (we all were, really) and had to send money back home to their respective families in other countries, and that philosophizing about the Health Sciences was just a luxury they couldn't afford as the conclusions were moot--mouths needed to be fed. I felt my position was that of an arrogant Westerner, albeit equally indebted and absorbed about the precarious and fleeting nature of my income in relation to my costs of living. Contradicting the whole 'earn a degree and you'll have it made' narrative that was sold to me since about the 1st grade.

But having spent more time with Asian cultures I think it was more of a 'keep your head down and do as your told' approach to Life, its one that seems very un-Western, as I saw the same thing in tech and even in dating Asian women--where the 'anti-authoritarian,' 'disrupter' or 'non-lemming' personality makes for a good occasional date, perhaps even boyfriend, but makes one unfit for longer term relationships let alone marriage material.

It reminded me of the overly used phrase in Japanese: Shikata-nai, or it cannot be helped to help drive this home most times.

Here is a good example of what I mean (the last paragraph underscoring my point and experiences):

What’s further confusing is that this is broadcast on state owned TV which is required to be ad-free. Yet, this section is riddled with ads for upcoming Disney movies.
In Poland, we have a "bizarre TV tradition" of watching Home Alone during Christmas on one of the main TV stations (Polsat). Usually Home Alone 2 is played the next day.

One year the station wanted to play a different movie during the holiday season and people wrote petition to bring it back.
Angeldust has practically zero level of detail (LoD) and has no occlusion culling. "Almost zero LoD" means that geometry is always rendered at full resolution, but subtle vertex-shaded effects like the waving of grass are not applied for distant geometry. So you will see grass everywhere, but it won't wave when it's "unnoticeably" far away. Other than that I just push millions of mostly buffered triangles and vertices each frame at high view distance without a hitch. Turns out computers are pretty fast these days.

Note that I'm working on a newer render engine that actually uses more GPU shading capabilities and this engine runs even smoother than the current one, since it balances the workload a lot better between CPU and GPU.

As for data structures: both client- and server-side it's pretty much a simple std::map<coordinate, chunk*>. Its O(log(n)) lookup is adequate and I don't want or need to do complicated things to ensure decent performance. On top of the map I do spatially-aware caching to prevent say 99% of actual map lookups which turns the majority of lookups into O(1) which seems pretty much optimal.

As for keeping data: the server is authoritative in everything. The server keeps the data. You can take any device, install Angeldust and sign in with your credentials and you'll find yourself back in the same world, same friends, same progress, same everything that you had on another device.

Same with game state: the server tells the client everything. The client is basically just a dumb graphical terminal application that renders 3D visuals instead of VT100 text.

Is there a lack of engineers in Germany, or there is a lack of engineers who want to work for peanuts at yet another venture builder, consulting agency, advertisement, e-commerce, delivery startup led by inexperienced managers with huge egos?

We have many good STEM universities with free education in Germany, but do we have enough options for top talent, in software related areas particularly, to make impact and retire at 40 or start own business? In Berlin, I see very few options to be close to such goals.

How many new famous technological companies came from Germany recent years?

The overhead of goroutines is well known. It's often advertised as only being 4 KB, but as in your case this sometimes is too much.

You got bitten by that but that's not the fault of Go.

The OP was bitten as well and describes a solution in Go. You've solved it by using Node.

Still, your post is quite destructive. Just get over it.
It's a pity they use a fixed offset basis for FNV-1a. For many non-persistent use cases it's perfectly valid to use a randomized offset basis. This makes it harder for external parties to come up with keys that would cause a high collision rate.

This is why I specified non-feminist MRAs, e.g https://old.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/. If you want to have an example for how to do it right, check out https://old.reddit.com/r/MensLib/ (currently on holiday private to give the excellent moderators a break but check it out after christmas)

Once it's available again you will notice that in the latter, the focus is on actually helping men. Thing like the male domestic abuse shelter, Terry Cruz joining the #metoo movement, discussion of toxic masculinity and how it fucks up men+how to overcome the damage it did. All of that is good stuff, necessary and compatible/part of the feminist lens onto the world, figuring out how the traditional view on masculinity (stoic, unfeeling rocks that only want sex and power) fucks men in similar way as it does women.

Now, when you check out https://old.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/, you will notice that they also do that to some degree, but they seem to be mainly obsessed with pointing out women's hypocrisy, shutting down feminism, playing bullshit evopsych games etc. Basically, anti-feminism as a way to continue doing things that hurt the bulk of men, with the promise that if they try hard enough they will be the winners.

Also, before this gets flagged as well, come on guys, just engage. My statement is clear: feminist MRA which recognizes men getting fucked doesn't mean women are doing the fucking and wants to change our social structure to the benefit of both gender roles (or dissolve them)=> good. Reactionary MRA which doesn't actually care that much about helping men and more about shutting down women's rights movements=> bad. If you are a conservative that disagrees with e.g. abolition of gender but agree that men should not have to real men and that women are not fact out to manipulate all men into doing the work for them (something r/theredpill has in their sidebar: https://dontmarry.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/the_manipulate...) then you are part of the feminist MRA crowd, not the anti-feminist one. And if you feel I am being uncharitable, come at me, I have sources and am always up for a good debate with strangers on the internet :-)

> History has shown that eventually the code comes out rather than being socked away in properietary hell.

When people talk about reforming copyright there is usually a comment about GPL with a standard answer: copyright escrow. If we just have rules in places that guaranties that the code eventually comes out rather than being socked away in properietary hell then 99% of the purpose of copyleft has been served.

Last Friday in tech news there was an entry about a deal between a DRM company and a game company that expires, so "owners" of the game can no longer install the game. Proprietary code for games do not usually come out, so there is some real worry that the games are now closed down forever.

I wonder how supportive Juniper, Comcast, EMC, and Netflix would be to copyright escrow.

Actually, for all the requirements listed LiveView is perfect. Interactivity can all be defined server-side without adding any JS; Forms can be validated server side before submission; I assume implementing dynamic forms will be easier to do once on the server side instead of having to do it twice or send a schema over to the FrontEnd. OP should really look into LiveView.

Fair point actually. There's also lot of yelling going on going as far that some think it's actually a proven fact that it causes cancer just because some judge somewhere made Monsanto pay. But there's another aspect as well: if I'm not mistaken (been a while I looked into this thoroughly) the links with the insect decline seem to be much stronger than the link with cancer? And that's also not exactly a good thing.
It’s actually probably harder these days to build something that isn’t RoHS compliant as a hobbyist than one that is. The vast majority of what you can buy from Digikey and Mouser and whatnot will be compliant, PCB shops will mostly do lead-free HASL (though you’d want ENIG anyway if you’re going to use a stencil), and lead-free solder pastes are more common than leaded ones. Basically you’ll probably have to either use old stock parts or pull some really old solder out of the fridge as a hobbyist to end up with lead.

Loved the article, but loved even more to learn about MicroPython.

As an amateur programmer that has never actually physically handled hobby micro-controller type boards, but has read a lot about them, it was amazing to be able to try out the emulator at https://micropython.org/unicorn/

Make the leds blink, see how servo control works etc, all in the browser without having to actually buy any hardware! I had never seen anything like this.

Would love if others could point me to more advanced emulators of hardware micro controllers (if there is such a thing!)
Or you, the passenger, could put the item in your checked baggage before hitting any processing (assuming you have any checked baggage of course, it is common not to for short trips), or post it back to yourself before hitting security.

Ignoring any cost implications (in both the above circumstances the passenger could be charged at the time), security getting involved in this will just add to the delay experienced by passengers further back in the queue.
OTOH, a security conscious engineer could exploit this to have the business card call home and automatically block communications from the company so one does not waste time with them ;)
