It's something I hear almost every day now.

1) 20 something not willing to live office or blue collar job lives and go for driven passion

2) realize how any regular obligation will lose the art/passion side and will become a system ..

3) realize that a job is a job

4) many wants to improve lives of others.

I think our generation (I suppose we're both from the 70/80s) was pushed too long into pupil mindset (leaving college at 23 if not more) and too focused about our passions. Adult life is adult life and there's no cutting corners, the previous generation didn't really have a choice and learned it earlier.

Also 'improving lives of others' is somehow a metaphor for having a society being a large team. There's a weird pivotal time where we lose this trait.. we want to make it, become anxious.. and then realize 'success' would just be making something useful for the group.
As a sidenote, 4chan has moderators, they are just called "cleaners". And 4chan is far from the wild west people imagine it to be, with the exception of some general cesspool boards like /b/, /v/, /pol/, etc. that cater to the lowest common denominator and are super general in terms of topics discussed (which naturally attracts a ton of people).

More niche boards (most of which happen to be categorized as SFW) have some pretty good material, tend to stay on-topic, and are indeed suited well for a civil discussion. My personal favorites would be /o/ (anything car/vehicle related), /toy/ (for stuff like assembling/painting/working on models), /lit/ (for literature), /diy/ (self-explanatory), and /sci/ (science&math).

Yes, it isn't super concentrated serious material with no fun allowed, e.g., there are occasional threads where people do things like build a motorized bathtub and then proceed arguing about feasibility of making it street legal. But the quality of discussion there isn't that bad at all, and the moderators are pretty strict about banning people and deleting threads for either being unrelated to the theme of the board or for NSFW stuff on SFW boards.

In the context of Kessler syndrome, objects that are doomed to deorbit after a collision can still be a "real problem." They just need to remain in orbit long enough to hit something else to contribute to the domino effect behind Kessler syndrome.
You could use the same rhetorical tactic in reverse e.g. "explain how paying employees for an additional 20 minutes of their time justifies outsourcing their jobs". You'd respond "well that's only one example..."
GroupMe is another alternative which works similarly. Have two sets of social groups which use that instead of Facebook.
That is way unfair to the company, when you will have certain people who are 'happy' to travel 1.5 hours each way. This seems insane to me, but there are plenty of people who do this and see no issue at all.

How would a company hire local anyway, by rejecting candidates who live to far away? What if they promise to move, but don't end up doing it?

The only real working way to do that is to ask them to introduce a congestion charge, which I am all for.

If being searched is a task required by your employer, I don't see how that's any different than time spent doing any other task.

This also seems like a good way to align incentives. If time spent on security is compensated time, then there is a baked-in need to make the process less onerous.
The executive team can trim a few million off their annual bonuses so the very low number of workers that commute far distances can be compensated for that time sitting in the car.

Alas they can but they won’t and they’ll fight you in court so they don’t have to.
That case was under federal law. This one is under California law. The older case was decided on statutory, not Constitutional, grounds, and there was nothing in it precluding states from passing stronger laws.

Neats and Scruffies
Hadn't thought of it, but given Catholic schools and area, so probably similar. Early christians met in the catacombs of Rome, so the tradition of keeping it between you and your priest (sub rosa) might relate to the culture. Their whole mythology is about the consequences of betrayal to political authorities.

I wonder if there is a link between these snitch cultures and secularism/atheism. Rather puts a spin on "keeping it G," as well.
Clearly the parent is not saying Apple’s situation is a dystopia, but is saying that the underlying logic, that workers demanding anything their employers don’t want to do will lead to loss of jobs and therefore is not a good thing.

The logic the GP used implies that as long as US employees are paid more than the least paid employee in the world (which would probably be 0 considering the current existing situations of slavery in the world) they shouldn’t resist and should just accept what they are getting.
Nice for you you can do business with a totalitarian regime and get away with it.

I went to 9 schools in 7 different states thousands of miles apart by the time I went to college, and I didn’t really value some of the things other kids did such as school “spirit” which I thought was stupid. Or rooting for “your” team, nor things like prom (parents were poor and still building themselves up so wasn’t about to ask them for funds to rent or buy clothes for a party) or yearbooks or graduation (didn’t even tell my parents about it, didn’t see why it was even worth celebrating since US high school is so easy). I know zero people from high school still.

I am fine conversing with people and making friends, I actually like to, and I think moving around a lot helped me learn the skills to size people up, but I am also evaluating how useful
/enjoyable someone is to me so that I invest my time with the greatest return.

I also don’t care much for personal photos on work desk or other memorabilia and generally dwelling on the past. Just another data point. This is not to say that I don’t care about people, and I do like helping, but I don’t need to get all deep and emotional with anyone. Who knows if it has anything to do with me moving around as a kid.

I'm afraid that is a folk etymology, the second part means "to eat", related to contemporary Russian есть "jest'". The /v/ sound actually comes from the short /u/ at the end of the word medъ, usually denoted with the letter ъ, probably through an intermediate /w/. The yer, ъ, became silent in Russian and was removed from the orthography in 1918, but a relic of it remained like this in the middle of the word medved'.
You're not making any sense dude. My reply points out that it's ridiculous to imply that waiting unpaid for your employer to search you before leaving is anything near a dystopia.

The post was unnecessarily injecting political opinions and their view of the average intellect of those who hold others. It was humor, just not good humor. (And I'm even a strong Brexit opponent; though American.)
Interesting. They gave me like 20% (maybe 15%) off AirPods unasked and unexpectedly just because I had to wait a few minutes for them to get them for me.
I want much more runtime performance out of rust more than anything else. Faster builds are second on the list. This probably doesn't even make top 10. Who is this aimed at? And I would hate for those top goals to be subverted for this.

That's unfortunate because it was reported many many preview versions ago by multiple people and that issue you linked is from a year ago.

I wish they would hire the dude who makes WSLtty. It feels like the MS team doesn't want to address the really important things that make a terminal optimal for full time development. It's like they spent 3 years creating a tabbed interface and supporting icon emojis but ignored other critical features for so long (for the longest time you couldn't even zoom in and out with a hotkey).
Summary: this is a non-recursive merge sort with improvements.

Benchmark of quadsort() versus C qsort():

* ~10x faster on forward-order items

* ~2x faster on reverse-order items

* ~equivalent on random-order items

Improvements:

* Ordering: when blocks of items are in order, or in reverse-order, then do special case handling, which gives quadsort O(n + log n) instead of qsort O(n * log n).

* Boundaries: compare data rather than traditional merge sort wasteful boundary checks.

Announcing Value Stream Mapping (VSM) Discovery Workshops with Armory
Seems like Apple was probably selected for the class action suit due to being a prominent and hugely wealthy company (just like Google and Amazon with respective labor related activities targeting them). And that was a good strategy, because here we are discussing it.

As a society with high and growing inequality the US is structured in a way that incentivizes retail theft, so the frequency of this kind of theft isn't going down anytime soon.

The question is who should bear the cost of it.

This has always been framed as an issue of immorality of retail workers, so the cost has borne by them in the form of lost time/wages or maltreatment by police or security services. This is of course a false and incomplete framing, because it's arguably more immoral for a company to steal time / wages from all workers in this case when the product theft is only committed by a few.

What is the loss due to theft of a smartphone vs. the cost to the worker who will now double pay in lost wages and the time for extra child care caused by the delay in leaving work?

Framed economically instead it's just the cost of doing business in our society, just as with credit card fraud.

Going forward, it looks like it will be borne by the retailers and ultimately, their customers, which is far better than it being borne by workers.

Interesting, but I'm surprised if this is the first time we have sorting algorithm that is swapping more than two elements at a time. I would have guessed every possible iteration of sorting algorithms has been already explored, proven and tested.

Neither the Youtube title "Adam Savage's Spot Robot Rickshaw Carriage!" or current HN title "Adam Savage Builds a Rickshaw Pulled by Boston Dynamic's Spot Robot" are clickbait.

Both are reasonable.

The only issue with the Youtube channel title might be the "!", it is a little clickbaity that I would agree seems more the work of a PR team.

The problem with the video is -

The rickshaw doesn't look great.
At the end of the day it's just a "I built a rickshaw" video.

But, people would pay money to use a spot rickshaw and it looks potentially awesome. Adam even talks about the 'visual experience'.

He was trying for a visual experience and I personally think he failed. But he came close. Maybe your issue is it was a kinda fail video, which are good to have, but they present it as a ! success?

This is still binary comparison.

There are, in general, a number of different sorting algorithms which are optimized for a specific number of elements. In this case, four. It uses five binary comparisons to sort four elements.

You can find other algorithms like this, such as an algorithm that uses seven comparisons to sort five items, or one that uses ten comparisons to sort six items.

I'm amazed on how much discussion digressed to actix-web. Understandable, seen the latest happenings there, but still... I tried quite a while ago Actix, coming from Erlang/Elixir and Scala/Akka. While the cognitive load of using it was not high, when I started my first test, I noticed one core being maxed out, and all others sleeping, which was kinda unusual for me. I asked why, and the author answered that it uses an event loop, so if you want it otherwise, go away and use something else, like Riker... So I went away :) ... I would assume this kind of behaviour has been corrected meanwhile (I mean the library, not the comms), because otherway, it's just a Node written in Rust. My 2c :)

> >Apple said it could prohibit employees from bringing any bags or personal Apple devices into its stores altogether but gave them that benefit. The California Supreme Court said a ban on any personal items would be “draconian.”

The article might leave one with the impression that the Court was saying that Apple could not impose such a ban. That doesn't seem to be the case. It's more that they are saying that Apple has not ever done so and it seems far-fetched that Apple would ever do so, and so Apple's claim that not doing so was done as some sort of benefit is not justified.

Here's that paragraph from the Court's decision:

> Apple acknowledges that the exit searches promote its interest in loss prevention, but nevertheless urges this court to view the searches as part of a broader policy that benefits its employees. Apple argues, in this regard, that it could have totally prohibited its employees from bringing any bags or personal Apple devices into its stores altogether, and thus employees who bring such items to work may reasonably be characterized as having chosen to exercise an optional benefit. However, Apple has not imposed such draconian restrictions on its employees’ ability to bring commonplace personal belongings to work. Under the circumstances of this case and the realities of ordinary, 21st century life, we find far-fetched and untenable Apple’s claim that its bag-search policy can be justified as providing a benefit to its employees.5

and here is footnote 5:

> However, it is uncontroverted that Apple may impose reasonable restrictions on the size, shape, or number of bags that its employees may bring to work, and that it may require employees to store their personal belongings in offsite locations, such as lockers or break rooms. We also take no issue with Apple’s policy prohibiting employees from shipping personal packages to its stores.

"Fresh" from the perspective of a population might be more accurate to what I'm saying - not invented from nothing (that was inaccurate wording). The book we're discussing goes into a lot of detail on this, more than I could having read it so long ago now.

The wikipedia article briefly mentions this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt:_The_First_5000_Years

"The author postulates the growth of a "military–coinage–slave complex" around this time. These were enforced by mercenary armies that looted cities and cut human beings from their social context to work as slaves in Greece, Rome, and elsewhere. The extreme violence of the period marked by the rise of great empires in China, India, and the Mediterranean was, in this way, connected with the advent of large-scale slavery and the use of coins to pay soldiers. This was combined with obligations to pay taxes in currency: The obligation to pay taxes with money required people to engage in monetary transactions, often with very disadvantageous terms of trade. This typically increased debt and slavery."

It occurred mostly in subjugated nations as a way to bring in the new money (from the perspective of the conquered, who saw no value in this foreign coin). It accelerated adoption in populations who had no familiarity with the system, and indeed may have been operating on non-monetary systems still (the book credits Alexander as wiping away many of the last vestiges of such economies).

Looking at the above passage, it has some resemblance to company scrip.
The irony here being that UPS / Fedex ship to the stores.
Remains to be invented, I guess? It's certainly a difficult problem, and any solution will be going against 70 years of convention of programs as plain text streams. I don't think we're going to be stuck here forever though.
