I personally am going back to a dev job. It pays better and there's work to be done (incl. security). I got OSCP and 5 months later eventually landed a security job and ended up sitting on my hands for 3 months doing nothing. It isn't what the industry sold to me as "needing talent".

I know there's smart people doing good work, but it could not deliver for me within a reasonable time despite putting in the work, and that was enough to realize most of the call-to-action was bullshit. If anyone asks me for career advice (no one should), I just tell them to learn to code and do code reviews in their spare time. Don't even bother with the pentesting side of it.

The business as an organization has a responsibility to value the humanity of the laborers they employ, which includes understanding that the greater benefit of paying wages is that now everyone has more money to spend on the business (assuming the business is actually good). Similarly, the business should be investing in making sure people are not coming into work sick, especially in the service industry! Spreading sickness to ones customers is a horrific idea. And lastly but not leastly, being able to treat people as humans actually saves the business money in turnover/training costs!

This sub is popular among a small group but overall despised by the community. It openly flaunts the site rules and promotes content that draws a black eye from media attention.

SQL 3D engine (interactive preview)
To be fair, some of those are full database engines; they have lots of inherent complexity to tackle.

Hasura provides an interface to a database(/s) engine. GraphQL was supposed to solve the interface problem but it looks like it has created a lot of accidental complexity to tackle.
Finding where to login for SA is the one frustration I have with SA right now. Everything else works really smoothly, but I have to resort to Googling "self assessment login" every time.

Solving this doesn't require a unified login - it needs proper signposting within gov.uk of the most likely user flows. Right now, finding the login for SA is something like 5 levels deep within the hiearchy of pages, and even then it's not well signposted.

gov.uk -> "Money and Tax" -> "Self Assessment" -> "Register for and file your Self Assessment tax return" -> Sign In

Having to choose "Money and Tax" and then "Self Assessment" is fine. But then you're faced with an enormous menu of choices, only the 19th of which leads to a login prompt. Once you've reached that page, "Sign In" isn't even at the top of the page - it's below the fold on my 1440 pixel high screen!

Just putting common tasks at the top of the list, with everything alphabetised underneath for when you're looking for something specific would make a huge difference.

> can be leveled at a lot of different websites, video games, and political parties.

Everyone - every signle website, author, pundit, politician, etc who finds themselves mentioned favourably in a mass shooter manifesto should at least ask themselves how they got there and what has gone wrong with their messaging. There may not be anything they can do, but a lot of places seem to think that hate never leads to action.
Yes, but right clicking anywhere does not work. Maybe it's configurable, I did check that.
I like the way you phrased this in terms of incentives and optimization as I think you capture the conflict of this thread well.

You can also send hard disks to customers with the exome on them and ask them to either send them to you for a, idk 20 USD reanalysis that you recommend doing every year, or you can even have it done on the customer's computers themselves with a program that you provide that downloads the latest database of variants from the internet and then performs the analysis completely off-line without sending any info on which disease chances the patient has to you.

> Your assumption here is that the enforcement of the new rule will be executed perfectly and without bias,

Not at all. Even if Reddit was completely biased and never enforced the rules against liberal-oriented cesspools, that wouldn't make T_D's current norms and behaviors any more acceptable.

The only problem is if you believe that Reddit will go far beyond their stated content rules and start punishing civilized discourse on the basis of political alignment. That would have a damaging chilling effect, but I think it's pretty clear Reddit has their hands full with rebellious mods and users who aren't even trying to stay within the posted rules and are making plenty of posts that really should be removed no matter where you fall on the spectrum of political beliefs.

Why do you think it's unnecessary? I don't think I could function without it.

Granted, I wish it had scheduling, partial whitelisting, notification collection, and whatnot but at least the basic functionality is there.

Also, if you find yourself sharing your screen, just option+click the Notification center in the top right to enable Do Not Disturb mode.

Before Nintendo and Atari: How a black engineer changed the video game industry
Actually this is by design. If he has his I-140 approved, that means that the company has applied for his green card .

Now if the company gives him a promotion and that results in material change to his job duties, then the company has to restart his green card process .

Usually that implies trying to find an American for the job and convincing the government that they could not find a suitable candidate and they need to sponsor him at the newly promoted position.

Also that process for new Gc takes from 6-15 months and about 5-10K USD that no company wants to spend again for each promotion

...I honestly kind of agree with your department regarding points 1 and 2. If programmers never collaborate, and they have a backup system in place, then you don't need git for those things.

But point 3 is a super big one, so I'd focus on that. Is there really know time when your company took something out that they realized they wanted later? There's never been a regression they had to roll back? Really?

If not, you might tell them that it's helpful to you as a programmer to be able to refer to how something was done previously.
This site is amazing.
While I wholeheartedly agree with the thesis that people too readily engage in “sustainability theatre” as an excuse to avoid meaningful lifestyle change, I would also not want to lose sight of the many valuable things that individuals can do to make the world a better place. It’s too easy to sink into apathy if you think change can only be done by others or large groups.

True, Hasura does not have plugins (AFAIK) but you can extend it's funcitonality via webhooks and PG views.

As for authorization it may give them more flexibility to roll their own.

My pet theory is that anything people personally touch or see feels 1000x more important to them than the unseen.

Yeah. Honestly, this whole back-and-forth is exhaustingly trite and pedantic.

This is inaccurate - it was very clearly not intended to 'create discord between users' and claiming that it was is at best politically biased and at worse a lie.

> As someone who has experienced hunger and malnutrition, it is entirely a product of capitalism and not a specific detail in the food production chain.

This would be relatively simple to demonstrate: simply show that capitalist societies all experience significant hunger and malnutrition, and that non-capitalist societies do not.

You may find the latter somewhat challenging.
Board accused of gutting public school funding in favor of private yeshivas
I'm not sure what the right authoritative source would be, but here's one from Iowa that claims "Traditionally, grits are made with southern dent corns": http://blog.seedsavers.org/blog/true-grits. I think the issue might be that true "flour corn" was originally grown only in the Southwest and is rare in the US these days. Most commercial corn meal these days is made from "dent" rather than "flour", which might cause the two to be confused. Carol Deppe's book "The Resilient Gardener" has a nice chapter on which corns are most appropriate for different cooking purposes.

The plan for European civilians since antiquity was basically life as usual, war was a matter of political power and resources, farms weren't burned and population killed since they were the goal of the war in the first place.

Total war may have been the exception, but farms and cities both suffered enormously during pre-20th century European warfare. Indeed the page you linked gave a bunch of examples of total destruction prior to the 20th century.

Outside those examples, most warfare then relied on looting farms for supplies (including seed crops)[1]. Indeed there was a whole technique of warfare called Chevauchée which relied on this before the 14th century:

A chevauchée [..] was a raiding method of medieval warfare for weakening the enemy, primarily by burning and pillaging enemy territory in order to reduce the productivity of a region, as opposed to siege warfare or wars of conquest... The chevauchée has gained recognition for its use during the Hundred Years' War between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of France. It was not a new tactic and had been used many times before; for example, William the Conqueror had used the tactic before the Battle of Hastings to encourage Harold to engage in a battle.[2]

Why when they explicitly state that it was done for getting the proper input UX on mobile? The whole article is about finding a good UX for inputting numbers, taking different device types and accessibility concerns into account. It doesn't mention using these for validation at all afaict. Somewhere in this thread one of devs showed up and explicitly stated that they disable all HTML validation on the pages.

What obscure and/or twisted definition of "shitposting" are you operating under where you don't see it as bad for a forum that's intended to foster civilized discussion?

If you want shitposting, why would you ever choose a platform that has moderation and content guidelines in the first place?
You can't do it. If your employer raises the wage, they'd rather hire an american, because it's easier. You can advocate for sensible immigration reform or for a stop to the H1B program which creates a permanent underclass of workers.
> Specifically, physician salaries plus diagnostic tests comprise 4.04% of GDP in the US, compared to only 2.3% in the UK.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001429212...

If you read more, I believe diagnostic testing comes out to 0.5% of GDP in the UK vs. 2% of GDP in the US, a far bigger effect than the difference in salaries.

So yes, there is some indication that lawsuits can lead to more tests and thus wildly higher testing costs.

I wonder if this is also leading to doctors to favoring newer medications that should be "the best" versus cheaper generics that would be more cost effective for a particular ailment.

Speaking of which, the way drug approvals and patents work also increases costs, and there are perhaps some small tweaks like permitting foreign first-world drug approvals to count in the US as well that might also help keep a lid on costs.
It's an extremely fair piece of information to use when trying to decide just how impartial the Reddit Admins are.
Technically, number (a quantity) vs numbers (a series of numbers) would suffice. "Numeric" (as an input mode vs a number type) makes sense, too.

I think it's just an evolution of our education, preferred input devices, and specs all catching up with each other. On a desktop I just start typing numbers from the keyboard. On a smartphone I click on a credit card field, if the field expects "text" I have to click "123" then input the number using a number row with smaller target sizes. I would greatly prefer to directly show me a number pad.

That's key to the current frustration with YouTube, outside of constitutional grounds: as a platform, it's become wildly unstable to depend on, as you simply are not given the ability to understand where it will or will not draw the line, and their application of their standards leaves such an ambiguous and inconsistent trail of evidence that it's harmful to everyone who tries to rely on it.
"Maybe it is a human who is typing gibberish for X reason" is not a good objection to the idea of a turing test.

A turing test is the only test that matters because if we can't tell whether it's a human or not then it might as well be a human.

Anyway, the idea that we have built human-level intelligence is silly. We have algorithms that can beat humans at tasks humans consider hard. That's quite an achievement but it's not what Vinge was talking about.

You can be unhappy, absolutely. But you still don’t get to dictate what reddit does or to what their users should be subjected.
No, it's terrible advice as it only causes unnecessary interoperability problems and vulnerabilities. There is no reason why anyone should need to generate invalid input to your program and it is never a better idea to make every consumer more complex to deal with broken input than to make one producer create non-broken output.

The only robustness to invalid input you should have is that you should not fall over when you encounter broken input, but simply reject it.

How difficult is it to design these parts and successfully fabricate them? Are they expensive simply because they're uncommon, or is the R&D process for them nontrivial?
I would suggest double checking the fine print for your university-provided insurance for the period between school ending and your internship starting. And coverage limits -- a hospital stay can get very expensive here.

Also check if your insurance requires you to call them for "pre-approval" in order for treatment to be covered.

If your university is outside of the US (say, Canada), then you may also want to check whether your university provides travel health insurance, or recommends a provider that will sell it to you.

Far be from me to hold a cynical view of large corporations .... /s

Seems to me that Amazon would like to muscle in on your business. Better the profits go in Amazon's pocket than in yours. This was a very Microsoft way of doing business back in the early to mid 90s. Read up on the many times that Microsoft was sued by its former business partners.
(Apple, Stac Electronics, etc, etc)

I'm afraid that 'might makes right'. Unless you can spin off your business away completely from Amazon, you're gone. You can't out-lawyer Amazon, don't even consider it.

I just googled it and it seems like he changed messages that were insulting him to insult moderators of the subreddit. The parent's comment doesn't seem wrong to me, if that's true. He altered communications of reddit users to make it look like they were insulting reddit moderators, in such a way as to falsely attribute those insults to the original authors.
It'll take a few libel suits for false accusations first. Plus a court willing to award meaningful damages.
