Thanks @Yoric for speaking out. I suffered from a similar situation early in my career as a developer, and it was far from pleasant.

This happened in a very early stage, self-founded startup in France (was the third person to join). Took me time to realize the situation was really bad and unescapable: I was young and lacking experience.

To employees: don't wait to be fired or to reach your breaking point. You're on the way to serious burnout. There is something out there called the market that is redistributing talents. So get out.

To managers: don’t be that boss.
Stack traces and structured output are handy, but I was hoping for a way to factor out the handler boilerplate that makes app code unreadable (like the "check" or "try" proposal for future versions).

Those warnings are useless not because they're ubiquitous, but because they don't specify the reason/ingredient. I'm not sure whether that's allowed by the law, or it's just that the law isn't fully enforced.

So I don't think you're making an argument against disclosure, just against bad law or scofflaws.

It isn't nice, I know, but it comes down to: agreeable people tend to agree with other people. So they can't make significant original contributions.

Excerpt:

"Back then, I was extremely impressed by a research project called CLEVER, which one of my professors, Jon Kleinberg, had led while working at IBM Almaden. The idea was to use the link structure of the web itself to rank which web pages were most important, and therefore which ones should be returned first in a search query. Specifically, Kleinberg defined “hubs” as pages that linked to lots of “authorities,” and “authorities” as pages that were linked to by lots of “hubs.” At first glance, this definition seems hopelessly circular, but Kleinberg observed that one can break the circularity by just treating the World Wide Web as a giant directed graph, and doing some linear algebra on its adjacency matrix."
> Uber is not profitable and does the same job as a taxi company.

Taxi companies tend to own their fleet (and in some cases their licenses / medallions). The profit comes from return on capital invested. Uber does the same job as someone on the phone line at a taxi company.
Yes, there are many factors at play environmentally beyond a lignin digesting fungus. Just the whole timeline and that aspect that makes one tree a fossil and another a fossil-fuel, is fascinating and the aspect that there seems like a cross-over period in which some trees of a time became coal and others became other forms of rock (yes coal is a rock, covering myself in case of any lurking coal-ologists :).

Though trees in saltwater do not rot faster, kinda the opposite as the salt acts as a preserve. https://www.express.co.uk/news/nature/460976/6-000-year-old-...

Makes you wonder what the planet did look like and maybe one day we will be able to work out were land masses and at what height and climate, that with coal and oil fields, see a picture of the forests that made that coal and oil. Though a quick google didn't jump out anything close.
History is not a benchmark) Software universal algorithm can not be faster than custom algoritm on FPGA for each job.

That's not exactly the genesis of the field but it is an interesting story about genetic algorithms and the bit that always got me was how there were parts in there used in ways that no human designer would ever use them and yet they were critical to its functioning.

"Dr. Thompson peered inside his perfect offspring to gain insight into its methods, but what he found inside was baffling. The plucky chip was utilizing only thirty-seven of its one hundred logic gates, and most of them were arranged in a curious collection of feedback loops. Five individual logic cells were functionally disconnected from the rest— with no pathways that would allow them to influence the output— yet when the researcher disabled any one of them the chip lost its ability to discriminate the tones. Furthermore, the final program did not work reliably when it was loaded onto other FPGAs of the same type."

Still amazing to re-read, and taking this into account it will be a long long time before we can finally say that we have cracked the DNA code and all its gory little details.
Small doses of shrooms, I'd like to add.

Disclaimer: not a game programmer so I could be completely wrong.

If you’ve implemented hitscan, the easiest implementation would be to find other players within some distance along the ray, and play some sound effect where the intensity of the whizzing sound is a function of the other players distance from the ray. The whizzing sound should provide some sense of direction of the bullet relative to the direction another player is facing. Possibly playing a pre recorded sound from a map of available sounds? Eg a bullet rushing from your 2 o’clock just past your shoulder? Or you could try to mix the sound and create that effect in real time I suppose.

This is the kind of comment that makes me just want to skip HN altogether. Why on earth are you arguing this at all — the counter to a point I never made — and why are you arguing from a position of ignorance like it makes you smarter than me?

You don’t have to pull an opinion out of your ass here. Just try it, the way my sibling poster has. This is a mathematically hard problem, and it will constrain your game design, and I think that’s really interesting.

The amount to which they care is proportional to their apparent ability to fix the problem. You'd be amazed how quickly something can get fixed if their company is burning down over it.

In this case I expect their response will be just enough to avoid any truly damaging outcomes while not spending any resources beyond that.
It changed me, in very mild and i would claim beautiful ways. I let go of intellect and just accept the emotion as something that i naturally generate, like the way a tree grows.

Edit; it occured to me that i didn't answer your main question.

I actually dont see a disconnect between normal thought and holy thought.

I imagine i will feel this loneliness and terror and grief and deep sadness at the time of death, and i felt how it might resolve, and it brings a certain joy and a “oh, really? This is actually what it’s about?” And the fear and terror slowly subside into magical relaxation.

So im ok with death, i was ok with death before that, but the “this is all for you” moment sort of cemented it.
> This is pretty common among pilots too. I'm not sure why drone pilots should be held to higher standard. Really they should be held to lower.

Drone pilots have to be held to a higher standard, because they have no skin in the game.

If a plane pilot flies like an idiot, they might hurt other people in the air... But they are very likely to also get themselves killed in the process.

This creates an incredibly strong incentive to not fly like an idiot.

A drone operator flying like an idiot is far more likely to get other people killed, than they are to get themselves killed.

If drone pilots could only operate them, while wearing a suicide vest that explodes if the drone crashes, I'd be more open to holding them to a lower standard than pilots.

It seems pretty self explanatory. What’s your question?
What have worked for me is to use my friend network. Send an application to the same place one of your friends work, and ask them to become your champion. If you do not have any friends in software, prepare a CV and send it out to every emplyer you can find. You will need to contact hundres if not thousands, but when you do get an interview, do not mention you have applied anywhere else if you get asked you need to lie and say that you did not apply to anywhere else, unless you have got multiple offers.
In the interview they will ask you how you can help them, and what they should hire you for. You need to reverse those questions in order to find out what they like you to do. What they need... Using any work sites like Linkedin, or Github is a waste of time.
Something that will impress employees is if you are a public speaker, so make a talk and have someone record you, it doesn't matter if there is a audience or not.

Hiring in general and especially in software is FUBAR. It doesn't matter how good you are at doing the work, all that matters is your contact network and/or how good you are at the hiring process.
At some point we're going to have rotating, shielded space stations that are much safer than living in 0g aluminum tubes.

The real question is whether the effects of subnormal gravity are safe. If not, Mars isn't likely to work out and we'll instead have to build rotating habitats.
I'm in the camp they just don't care.

Some retailers are selling repackaged medical equipment -- in this case cpap masks -- in ziploc bags. There may or may not be anything wrong with the mask itself, but the real bags are high quality packaging and factory sealed -- not a ziploc bag with a sticker on it.
Imagine if you had a very deal-term savvy crew of engineer hires. They then proceed claim that "the compensation cut we have taken by working here directly offsets cash you would otherwise have to spend/raise. This should count as a capital investment and should therefore entitle us to 1x preference just like for the other investors have."

Would you think this is a legitimate claim?
You are mis-understanding the meaning of the word 'agreeable'. Agreeable people do not tend to agree with other people, they tend to get along well with other people.

Has she worked on any "money" projects (as opposed to "art")? Employers, as a rule, don't care about art. They do care if you have a demonstrated track record of delivering stuff they can sell. Art and money need not be mutually exclusive, if she worked on art projects that were commercially successful, she might want to put the tangible, commercial success front and center, preferably with concrete numbers that can be attributed to her.
That’s not any different. Now how late are you allowed to submit? 5 PM? Sometime at night? Midnight? How many people are allowed to submit late? What if word gets out that everybody is allowed to? You get the exact same problem, except that more of the professor and TA’s time is wasted, and the whole process now has favoritism baked in.

I have seen deadlines wrap all the way around a 24 hour cycle in this way. 5 PM is bad because people want to work at night, so delay to midnight. Well, people aren’t finishing, so delay to 5 AM, since everybody would be asleep then. Well now people are blaming you for “forcing” them to do all nighters, so delay to 9 AM. Now people say that’s unreasonable, because submitting later in the workday wouldn’t hurt anyone. So delay to 5 PM.
This, so much. I was a developer in the Moodle community once. I was several times puzzled by how deep the interest of teachers was to just get to control students, regardless of whether it seemed to serve any apparent learning goal/purpose.
Well, once in a blue moon they'll take action and ban you and your original products for 'copying' the counterfeits.
But they do exist. And it's up to the rest of us to evaluate carefully to avoid throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
I don't disagree in principle, but this sort of "realist" commentary tends to be advanced whenever people get too out of sorts about a for-profit company to whom the same logic applies.

There's a reason big companies defend hundreds of lawsuits at any given time, and it's simply because they do a lot of bad stuff and society doesn't shut them down for it. I've worked in litigation support, and you know what? Non-profits were not the ones paying us $$$. It may be that the sort of companies (banks, drug companies, chemical companies) people love to hate are still a net benefit to society. But they don't have the all the slings and arrows aimed at them because of a conspiracy of plaintiffs' lawyers and whatnot, but because they do harm on a daily basis.

> logging their absence into a campus database that tracks them over time and can sink their grade.

Fortunately, I attended a college (Caltech) that as institute policy did not take attendance and no part of the grade was based on attendance.

The result was nobody was disruptive in class, because if students didn't want to attend, they didn't attend.

I remember sitting in class as a freshman thinking about this and enjoying being treated as an adult for the first time in my life. Nobody was telling me to go to class, admonishing me for not going, giving me credit for attendance or docking me for not.

The freshman EE class professor was famous (infamous?) for scheduling his lectures at 8AM, because he only wanted the interested students showing up at them.
Fakes/copies have always been an issue for companies, but with the move towards digital platforms, we find we have this odd situation in which we have a legit company umbrellaring fake/copy sellers and able to profit from such sales and yet appear totally immune from any repercussions.

But more so, all these transactions are documented, not cash in hand style transactions.

So, will we see some company who sells a branded product taking Amazon seems not like a case of if, but when and what angle.
Meanwhile, such issues in the digital era get dealt with by politicians grumberling fashionably and such digital domains offing some token informal(non legally binding law) compromise that enables politicians to be seen to be doing there job but the digital companies doing it for them in a way that suits them far better than is appreciated.

But thanks to the digital age, all those sales of fake/copy products will be logged and are just a growing liability that Amazon is not completely immune from.

Longest continuous period in space is just 1.2 years. Almost all human testing is yet to be done before we know if the Mars mission is possible without rotational gravity and heavy and expensive radiation shielding. Nobody knows how much gravity on Mars surface (0.38 g) or on the Moon surface (0.17g) helps with the problems and recovery.

Simulated Mission where astronauts spends 9 months on ISS, few months in moon (or short visit on earth) then another 9 months on ISS would tell something. Radiation is not as bad as in the Mars trip, so it would be safer than the eventual Mars mission.

I think SCTP was a very good choice.

Writing a SCTP implementation for Pion WebRTC[0] was really enjoyable. The SCTP RFC is well written and easily available [1]. Once you learn all the chunk types things start to fall into place. SCTP is also battle tested and we know what flaws it has.

I am pessimistic about alternatives

* New protocols/changes are spread across multiple drafts, and they are abandoned once they land in browsers. Most of the time these changes are already going to happen and these drafts are just a way to notify the general public it is happening. So it ends up being 'the implementation is the spec', and things are brittle. SCTP doesn't break like that.

* WebRTC is still very difficult to use. For large dev teams/corporations it is a solved problem, but I really wish there was more excitement/emphasis around lowering the barrier to entry. It is a really powerful technology, but it seems like we just keep getting half-baked things out the door and then moving on.

A more interesting question is how can humans be modified to be fit for space and other planets?

You and I will never leave earth, let alone the solar system. But a colony ship with a 1000 year nuclear battery, a huge computer, a massive sample of biological samples and some raw materials could go to another star system. Once there it could build something that would thrive locally (their gravity, their o2 levels, their radiation and temperatures). Something with a similar enough brain to humans...

That is what SpaceX is doing. Their manned and unmanned spacecraft systems are similar now (Falcon 9 + Dragon/Crew Dragon) and will be the same with the next system (Super Heavy + Starship). Hopefully the Starship will begin unmanned launches in 2020 as planned and get a good number of launches under its belt so that manned launches can start soon. With Starship SpaceX won't be constrained by NASA safety requirements. They will have the NASA approved Crew Dragon to launch NASA astronauts while they can use the Starship to launch anyone who decides that the Starship is safe enough for them. There is even a low probability that Starship will be launching people before Crew Dragon starts launching people, which would be a real blow for NASA, but would really point out the problems of a safety first attitude for technological progress.
Mostyl correct but it somehow gives impression that religon pracitce was banned in USSR ("After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, religious practice became legal again.").
Which is not true. There were still churches and priests and religious practice. While being religious was seriously frowned upon and would not allow you to have any serious hopes for making a bigger career it was legal. I remember my mother telling stories about "Christmas patrols" but I guess those were the years around the WWII, because we used to have a Christmas tree and Christmas Eve celebration without much fear.
