Thank you, I appreciate your sentiment.

Agree that individually it doesn't make a lot of sense to get upset about it, but this has been my experience with all of tech interviewing for years now.

Their behavior is pretty standard, from what I've seen: super drawn out process, unpaid projects, ghosting.

You'd think with all that "gold" from identifying these shitty companies that I'd be rich or something ;)

I'm just not sure about tech. I've been working in tech in San Francisco for 8 years since graduate school and in addition to all the problems with hiring and interviews, I have: been fired by startups a month before the equity cliff, had patents filed on my work with me as an inventor without my signature (company sold to Facebook on strength of those false patents; FB tried to get me to assign later; I refused and they dropped the patent),had to buy and pay taxes on options that ended up completely worthless when the startup folded, worked for a full year without a 1-on-1 meeting with a 'manager', been silenced by separation packages that require 'non-disparagement' in order to get the money you need to pay rent, etc.

You'd think the big companies would be better but they're not. I once spent 6 months interviewing with Google. Then they called me the next year to apologize for how shitty their interview process was.

I graduated college during the great recession so learning to code was a skill to survive and make money, but it's been almost impossible to make a stable career out of it.

I think maybe it's time to get out of tech. I have multiple degrees from Ivy League schools in liberal arts fields but I guess I believed the Silicon Valley dream. I'm not independently wealthy or anything - I'm the first person in my family to go to college at all and have had to figure everything out through some pretty painful and expensive lessons. I've got a lot of grit but this stuff is getting out of hand.

I've generated millions and millions of dollars of "value" for my overlords and have nothing to show for it.

Anyhow... thanks again for your post. I really do appreciate it.
I.E. basically what happened with IBM Compatibles in the 80's
Keep studying for him, cheers
I taught a bunch of undergrad level Calculus courses and one or two Lineal Algebra classes using Strang's book. By far the most fun class I've taught, and it's very easy (and in my opinion almost mandatory) to add some numerics to it. Ok, cool, you can solve by hand Ax = b of a 3x3 matrix, now let's do it for a 1000x1000 matrix for one of many real world problems.

There are also tons of very complicated advanced calculus and differential equations concepts that have direct "discrete" analogues in linear algebra, and this become glaringly obvious when trying to say discretize and solve a partial differential equation.

Apparently ublock origin blocks this.
The Bretton Woods Agreement pegged the dollar to gold ($35 for an ounce of gold). I understand that this can work if the central bank emits $35 for every ounce of gold they store.

But how does that account for destroyed/damaged/lost dollar bills ? The loss is very hard quantify and monitor, but needs to be compensated either through re-printing of new dollars, or through the destruction of stored gold to maintain the desired exchange rate.

Could someone with better knowledge than me explain how this works ?
Modern JavaScript is a major pain to set up, but the difference with other languages is that for some things it's the only language available.
The article isn't wrong, by forcing scroll to a certain location and embedding for example images that only load when scrolled into view the web server can know that someone was linked to a particular section of the website with the new deep-linking feature.

This is especially the case if the browser scrolls and doesn't load all prior resources automatically because they were never "in view".
If they increase the hourly pay by 20% then probably quite happy.

Edit: 25%.
And (unfortunately, in my opinion) those developers are in the vast minority. They may be a vocal minority, but they are still a minority.

How can I assert this? If they were not a minority, they would have sufficient clout behind them to push the project onto a FOSS chat solution.
> If you're curious where the time goes, btw...

Since it is software nothing is set in stone, everything can be changed, we know how to do it really really fast and really really efficiently.

People did incredible things to improve almost everything.

To me this means all of the performance loss is there for no reason. All we need is for people to stop making excuses. I for one know how to get out of the way when better men are trying to get work done.

You are the engineer if not the artist, impress me! Impress the hardware people! Impress the people who know your field. Some attention to consumers wishes is good but Gustave Eiffel didn't build his tower because consumers wanted that from him.

Why would you even have tap water if the well is down the street? A horse and carriage is just fine, it is good enough for what people need. no? What if our doctors measured their effort in "good enough's" and living up to consumer expectation only?

The hardware folk build a warp capable star ship and we are using it to do shopping on the corner store because that was what mum wanted. Of course there is no need to even go to Mars. It's missing the point entirely you see?
I have an ASUS ROG mobo. I can't do a soft reset of the computer with RAID enabled. For some reason on restart, it fails to recognize my SSD (I have an SSD as my boot drive and 3 HDD in a RAID array for data). Without fail, I always get "No boot drive detected". I have to do a hard power cycle every time. Annoying when Windows updates require multiple restarts sometimes...
I think this paragraph sort-of fills it in:

> "Consider a situation where I can view DNS traffic (e.g. company network), and I send a link to the company health portal, with #:~:text=cancer," he wrote. "On certain page layouts, I might be able [to] tell if the employee has cancer by looking for lower-on-the-page resources being requested."

The impression I got was that you'd need a combined hack with javascript reading the page position when you load the page.

I'd really like to do 4x10hrs versus 5x8hrs. I think that'd be a significant improvement for a lot of people.
I think the main takeaway is this: "it is more likely a threat from a rogue Domain User trying to break out of restrictions imposed by a Domain Admin."

Another way of phrasing this is "it's a way for overly restricted developers to make some minor modifications on their machine to actually get some work done."

I could have really used this trick when I worked at a large corporation with a locked-down environment...
> the politicians seem as caught up in the partisanship as the voters these days.

In public, yes. That's the point.

One could hope that in private, there's more sanity and less theater. I fear that it's just the same in private as in public, but one can hope.
It's not happening because it is no goal in the energy policy to promote large scale electrical heating and there is no cheap surplus energy (different from what the article claims). There will be some expansion in the area of heat pumps, but it will be slow.

The renewable energy expansion is used to replace current non-renewable electricity usage. Then we will see more renewable energy electricity used to decarbonize traffic (trains, cars, trucks, busses, ...).
I did this (4x10) for about a year at a previous company, really enjoyed it.

The hardest part was coming back after the 3 day weekend, it always felt like coming back from vacation.
It's not just Anandtech. All reviewers have nothing but praise for Seasonic. They have the best reputation in the industry at the moment and all their PSUs have a 10 year warranty to back it up.

Jonnyguru's last Seasonic review: https://www.jonnyguru.com/blog/2018/07/03/seasonic-prime-ult...

Literally nothing in the bad & mediocre summary sections, and with nothing but recommendations for the entire series:

> Our look at the PRIME Ultra Titanium series has now at last come to a conclusion. We can now definitively say there’s not a bad performer in the bunch, and while all do have some very minor drawbacks I can’t see any reason not to recommend any of them.

There is no explicit "warmup" instruction but you can perform a dummy AVX instruction wherever you want to start warming it up.

> I observed an interesting phenomenon when executing 256-bit vector instructions on the Skylake. There is a warm-up period of approximately 14 µs before it can execute 256-bit vector instructions at full speed. Apparently, the upper 128-bit half of the execution units and data buses is turned off in order to save power when it is not used. As soon as the processor sees a 256-bit instruction it starts to power up the upper half. It can still execute 256-bit instructions during the warm-up period, but it does so by using the lower 128-bit units twice for every 256-bit vector. The result is that the throughput for 256-bit vectors is 4-5 times slower during this warm-up period. If you know in advance that you will need to use 256-bit instructions soon, then you can start the warm-up process by placing a dummy 256-bit instruction at a strategic place in the code. My measurements showed that the upper half of the units is shut down again after 675 µs of inactivity.

https://www.agner.org/optimize/blog/read.php?i=628

Agner also notes that previous generations would just flatly stall all instructions (including non-vector) once they saw 256-bit instructions, which is probably why there is no "warmup" instruction. If there is an explicit stall of all instructions then there are very few reasons to incur that until the last possible second.
If you read the essay, the scenarios being considered and the type of security desired are pretty clear from the examples.

And then you realize that things like "providers opportunistically encrypting in transit or at rest" are largely irrelevant to having truly secure communications. You could have a conversation about "is Gmail less bad than Outlook.com" or whatever, but the whole point of the essay is that neither are meaningfully different if you have important secrets.
I have learned these kind of discussions are worthless in this site, but since if you seem to have good faith here we go.

The episode I remember the most was one when an American delegation went to Moscow (IIRC this was in the sixties, remember, the book is fiction), anyway, in the book the American delegation is comprised by you know, normal people, students and so on. The Soviet delegation is comprised by political-quasi-robots zealots a-la Ivan Drago. One of the members of the American delegation is a black woman, a fact the "Soviet zealots" take as an opportunity to claim that under capitalism racism exists in America. Well, what you do know, the black character proceeds to educate them and tell them they are very well mistaken because black Americans enjoy the same opportunities as white Americans.

This seemed to me very very weird, even if this was a work of fiction. No person of color in their right mind would have that opinion, even less in the 1960s. So I was interested to check who the author was and why they wrote such an unbelievable character. He is a white English guy. Surprise, surprise. The fact he minimized or discarded the huge challenges black Americans faced and still face, just to score a cheap political point in a work of fiction was disgusting to me.
Most programs I use (on Linux) do not come with an auto updater. Instead, I get updates through my distro's package manager.

I have Discord installed, because unfortunately that's where my friends are. However, it cannot access arbitrary parts of the file system because it is installed via flatpak; it only has access to ~/Downloads and ~/Pictures.
Yes, many cars do now. Some of the "less smart" cars don't necessarily know which signs are which. My 2018 Accord thought the speed limit was 100mph when I was on Highway 99.
Wow, TIOBE has Object Pascal, Assembly, D, and PERL in the top 20. Also, MatLab over Objective-C. Meanwhile, Typescript is at 46, well below Julia, COBOL, Ada, and Rust (don't get me wrong, great language, but I'd be surprised if it was more widely adopted than Typescript).

Its method for ranking seems problematic.
> I agree, but an advantage over whom exactly? In this case it's simply an advantage of the ruling political and economic elite over European citizens (Greeks especially).

Not quite, the problem are extremist and populist political parties who abuse any crisis to force their way into relevance without playing any constructive role in any part of the problem. There's a long list of examples in European history of how extremistm exploits economic and financial crisis for their own self-interest and in the process causing a long steam of suffering and misery. It happened often enough to enable us to learn from that mistake.
When the 40 hour workweek was first proposed, doomsayers said it would be the end of the American economy. The opposite happened, and as injuries and illness decreased, productivity increased. [1]

Something to keep in mind, as it’s counterintuitive and the instinct is to say, “that can never happen here”, or, “it’ll never work.”

1: Robert Gordon, “The Rise and Fall is American Growth”
It doesn't mean they aren't corrupt and wrong. Many things the government does have been popular and wrong.
Let me give you an example. It will be contrived for simplicity but there are circumstances that will seem more real-worldish. Lets consider the following scenario:

- you visit a page at example.com that contains private data about you (e.g. bank account number, medical conditions, what have you)

- this page loads external resources only when they are scrolled into view

- it also hotlinks some image below the fold that a potentially bad actor can see requests to (maybe the image is on their webserver, maybe you're on a corp network and they can see dns resolutions, whatever)

So now I link you to:
https://example.com/privatepage#:~:text=Account%201

Did the image get requested? If yes, I know your account number starts with 1; if not, I know it starts with something other than 1. Rinse and repeat.
Other interpretations are possible, though.
As Varoufakis has laid out clearly in his book, he believed at the time to have a better alternative at hand (better for the people of Greek, and better for the people of Europe; worse for some banks and creditors).
> I’d encourage you to bless a “data-freshpaint” attribute as the preferred way to link events to your system.

If you want to go through with this, you can do this already with CSS classes. You can have classes like "freshpaint-login", "freshpaint-checkout", etc.

> IMO the only way this kind of event tracking can be done right is if developers and Product communicate and the devs, who understand the code, put the tracking in the right place.

If you have the resources to do this, I highly recommend you setup manual tracking. In Freshpaint, we give you the ability to fall back to manual event tracking if you want it. The thing is most teams don't have the resources to write tracking code for everything, so a lot of the time it just doesn't get done. We commonly hear it takes 3-6 months to get Segment fully setup, and even then you have to constantly write new tracking code as you launch new features.
Tel that to German and Dutch politicians who were pressured to reject any aid to Greece because of reasons.

It seems a lot of these experiments are a success. But after a while somebody gets greedy and thinks “we get good productivity at 32 hours. I wonder how much more we could get at 40 hours?” And soon you are back at the old schedule.

Something similar happened at my company. For once a project was ahead of schedule. So instead of thinking that the system worked well and keep working in relaxed manner management decided to “pull in” the deadline and suddenly the project was a death march again.

For some people it’s hard to accept that relaxed people are productive. They want to see stress and overtime or they will think that people are underperforming.
No. We have measured time dilation by putting atomic clocks in orbit.

From what I've gathered elsewhere, the GPS data is OSM.

Specifically ZipCrypto is bad, which is the only supported crypto if you're password-protecting in Windows Explorer and the like. If you use 7zip or similar software you can use AES instead, which is fine.

I think stuffing 10 hours in a workday will have a diminishing rate of productivity return during the last couple of hours during the workday.
This. Not to mention the public costs of dealing with the ill.

IMO the middle ground is to restrict the marketing, not the sale.
> a lot more than 2%. More like 10%.

That's still essentially single digit percentages. And if is really in the low double digits, you're back to single digits when you go to 80 cores.

On the positive side, I don't think multi-user systems would be where they are today if we hadn't been staring at a future full of hardware that can only be fully utilized by embarrassingly parallel tasks.
The WSJ and "other publication" aren't disinterested parties in all this, they have filed complaints against Google and they are unashamedly lobbying for laws that would exempt them from being subject to antitrust rules both individually and part of lobbying groups such as newsmediaalliance.org.

Newspapers are businesses and they compete with Google. You should scrutinize their motives and the motives of those so called "intelligent people" you mention.
It's worked perfectly fine for Heap. Especially since Heap and Freshpaint capture every event out of the the box, if tracking ever breaks due to something like a site redesign, you can recover all the data you missed out on.
That's sorta how I felt. The article has plenty of valid reasons not to use discord, but it's somewhat of a ridiculous idea that we should not just expect but protect people who practice illegal and toxic behaviors in our chats.

I just feel like saying this here: I don't find that censorship itself is a problem. Self-censorship, for example, is generally not problematic, and everyone does it. A great example of voluntary self-censorship is with swearing -- it's not illegal to swear in public, but most people choose not to do it. That's not to say self-censorship is always problematic, but simply that it is not inherently oppressive. Sometimes, it's the right thing to do.

However, in larger group contexts, censorship earns legitimacy when it is agreed upon by those who are participating in that group. If a group of people agree to not swear in the context of their organization, then by all means it is fair for them to censor. In broader forms of censorship, such as the example of FOSS projects censoring toxic and illegal behaviors, as long as it is decided democratically, then it's absolutely a feature and not a bug.
Worked as a hospital clerk at one of the top hospitals in my country. This was in the mid 2000s. I thus had access to the system and all the information contained in the same. One day, I got an opportunity to serve a certain female legislator who was/is married to someone from my small city. A nephew of the the legislator's husband is a good friend. Now, I actually needed help from the legislator and thought it was unethical of me to get her contact details from the hospital's system. I eventually got the contact details from my friend. But, while I was careful about this ethical issues, I knew of a colleague of who didn't. While I didn't get the help I wanted from the legislator, I sometimes ask myself whether getting in touch with her, regardless of how I got the contact, was ethical. This dilemma is as a result of the fact that I only met the legislator courtesy of the privilege accorded me by the hospital.
What's unclear to me is if you are advocating for releasing addicts from jail (ideally compensating them for the misery caused by their incarceration), or throwing more people in jail?

If it's the former, I'm with you.
USSR event went as far as researching the use of psychic abilities for espionage. US only started researching PSI later, fearing USSR would get the edge on that; It's very interesting to read CIA papers about remote viewing experiments; Funny to see so much people think these things are pure fabrications, fantasy etc, but the US has been researching this stuff for decades. If they bothered to expend the resources to do that it means something;

It's a bit late but I would like to commend you and kragen for this unusually great exchange. HN at its best, thanks to the both of you.

Your ontology in particular is very interesting. I'll probably spend some time looking into it.

As for perpetual stuff, it's just a matter of signature... ;-)
That is a different argument , one that needs to be made.

OP is talking about people who spout doomsday predictions.

I once had a debate with someone who was convinced that humans were going extinct in the next century. He wasn't talking about migrations of hundred of millions, deaths of tens of millions, and climate patterns of droughts and floods changing, which are all present in predictions. He really believed that every single human was going to die. There are people who literally speak bullshit doomsday philosophy.
> As Varoufakis has laid out clearly in his book

His personal account of what he decides to claim and express, particularly the part where he chose to portray himself as both the Savior and the sole victim of everything, including his political party, is not exactly an accurate view of historical events.

His own account of his role on Greece's referendum is enough to understand his personal motivation to come up with his personal story.
+1 to this. We have a lot of offshore support teams, and I've lost close to 20 minutes explaining "nitty-gritty"
This is terrible if you have a long commute. During the 4 days you only commute, work and sleep. Now as a remote worker I could do this.
