In 2016 Arizona did much the same thing[1] and the outrage quickly died down. Voting should be easy and accessible, we honestly should just have a holiday for it, but long lines mean that people who can't afford to take as much time off of work can't afford the price to vote and that's just ridiculous.

OpenBSD Go fix for arm64 speculative execution flaw across a syscall boundary
I think you shouldn't hire him, but your reasoning is somehow wrong.
Early stage startups require decision-making on the spot, daily. If the guy isn't there, he'll be out out the loop and you'll be frustrated. So the reason not to hire lies in logistics.

Now, about passion and culture... I don't know if this is your first ride, but you probably know that business models and products change. I personally joined a startup which was building brain-training mobile app. Half a year later we were doing marketing automation for recruiters. I think few of the founders have passion for the product, they have passion for building things, or for making their equity worth millions. So you've got to look for employees who like building things, rather than excited about your product.
The implication doesn't really work; you need to assume the men are familiar with elves. But that's not true when Gandalf is active.
> Says who? Srsly stop working for shitty startups.

I don't work for "shitty startups"--it's rare that I work for "startups" at all. But, then again, my skillset is in demand in a way that accentuates the seller's market, and so I also don't have to. I'm very fortunate.

> And stop assuming all founders are exploitative psychopaths. We're not. ... You don't need to overwork the team for that.

You don't have to. But, as a matter of course, it happens. Even to those with the best of intentions.

Causes and passions are charity work or open-source work. Tying your day job--and by extension your health and your well-being--to them is not wise. As a founder, you both have an incentive to tie your own to such--but you have an even stronger incentive to tie others' to it, and so you literally can't be trusted.

It's nothing personal to state that founders are not to be trusted. It is, in a very real and literal sense, just business. Cash on the barrelhead and an absolute intolerance for fuckery are the only ways an employee has to protect themselves from exploitation.
I probably had life-long chronically low levels of vitamin D. Taking supplements was a major change for me - basically everything got better.

This sort of thing is impossible to diagnose correctly without lab tests.
This is a civil case. There’s no guarantee the plaintiffs would be able to prove guilt here. They’re not under any obligation to settle if they thought Apple was clearly in the wrong.
I worked at Microsoft for a short time and got burned pretty badly by the stack ranking system.

In my first year there I had 3 different managers, so by the time my review came around, nobody really knew me very well. At least not well enough to fight for me in the ranking meetings.

So ultimately, I received the lowest ranking. What made it most annoying is that it was prefaced with a speech about how I was doing a good job, but someone had to get that ranking. This was just me.

About the only good advice that manager gave me was that if this happened again, I should leave the company because it was going to be an endless spiral that I couldn't get out of.

It was actually the last time they did the stack ranking and I left before finding out if things got any better. The whole project I was on got canceled a few weeks after I left anyway.
Yes but their imagination knows no boundaries. Later on they get it but so does their imagination diminish.
to that point, wasn't 95 actually released in '96?

I don't know Rust well, but my understanding is the Rust way is better than Java or C++.

Exceptions are a mess. Either you go the Java route of tagging everything as throwing every subclass of Exception under the sun (which encourages people to write empty catch blocks to silence a noisy compiler), or you go the C++ route where you are not totally clear an error can occur when writing the code or from glancing at it. (Combine with operator overloading for most confusing results.)

Having an error result that can perhaps be easily propagated to the caller is the best of both worlds, and I think is the thing that good C code tries to approximate in a more manual way.
Systems and Technology Research | Onsite, Fulltime | Woburn, MA (Boston area)

We solve hard problems, usually (but not always) for the government. We’re not some stodgy defense contractor but rather teams of engineers, mathematicians and software engineers that get things done and actually deliver product. Some examples of the types of projects we work on are counter-botnet botnets, programming language research (around security and performance), and basically lots of things that aren't webapps.

Right now we're looking for generalist software engineers. I don't want to be too specific to discourage people from applying, but whether you're strong in data structures, algorithms, databases, devops, UX, or anything else it's probably worth talking!

Feel free to send me a PM if you'd like to talk. You also welcome to apply through the website (https://www.stresearch.com/professionals.html) -- there are a whole lot of software engineering-ish positions listed there, but it's not important that you apply to exactly the right one.

That was more because of his restructuring in the early 90s. "As with a neutron bomb, the buildings are still standing but the people are gone." He didn't seem to understand GE's broad products businesses but did understand finance, so he continuously closed those operations.

Like many leaders, Jack made a lot of good decisions but the lure of quick profits playing financial games has taken more than one long lived company down.

I worked for Westinghouse starting in 1986. Westinghouse went through the same issues investing in real estate loans in the 90s and did not survive.

I remember my manager telling me in the late 80s that the Financial Services division was making more money than the rest of the company combined. This did not make a lot of sense.

It ended up taking the entire company down a few years later.

SEEKING WORK | Remote or South Florida

Software engineer experienced in API integrations, ETL, back-end automations, and relational databases.

My work with a client usually starts with a planning and estimating stage. First, we gather requirements together. Next, I research ways to meet the functional requirements in a cost-effective way. Then, once I have a good roadmap, I deliver a proposal with an estimate. During development, good communication ensures stakeholders have a sense of overall progress and are involved in decisions that come up along the way.

Technologies I focus on are Node.js, Haskell, SQL, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. I'm also handy with some front-end frameworks like React and Vue.

Please see my profile for my contact information.
If Roosevelt enabled/required these back doors, what would stop all future administrations, including the current one, from doing what they want? IE, why is it any different for a past administration to make these changes compared to the current administration? Expansions of executive power tend to be permanent.
A better measure might be whether those institutions are functional to a degree that their current form of existence is a net benefit to us vs. their cost, not whether they return any value at all.

While I could probably quibble about certain details, I'm pretty happy overall with how things are going in regards to this. If anything, I wish it'd extend more into some of the even bigger establishments, like defense and entitlement systems.
I know part of Bernie Sanders' platform is making Election Day a national holiday. Not sure whether this is part of the other Democratic candidates' plans.
I don't necessarily think a browser company should have a cut of revenue, but there are lots of other middlemen that get a cut, and a lot of them could more justly be described as rent-seekers who add no value than Brave could.

It's my choice which browser I use, and if I decide to use one that pushes money in a certain direction to fund better browser software, then I don't see that anyone can really complain.
This post is confirmation of a rule I use with most "tip" articles ...

If you can add "Only an idiot wouldn't ..." in front of a tip, it's not really a tip.
I would be completely on the grad students' side if they weren't withholding materials necessary to produce the grades. That, though, sounds a lot like extortion, and it's hard to have any sympathy whatsoever with someone doing that.

It'd be one thing for me to walk off my job. It'd be another thing entirely for me to run off with the only copy of business-critical data.

IANAL, but I wonder if there might not end up being criminal charges in some cases.
Which is appreciated. Surprised there isn't a bot/autopost with past times a story was discussed. @dang, pull your finger out! ;o)
an interesting patch for Go on OpenBSD https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports-cvs&m=158083696719245&w=2

Log message:

Add two no op instructions following svc for Go on openbsd/arm64.

All except some of the most recent arm64 processors have a speculative execution flaw that occurs across a syscall boundary, which cannot be mitigated in the kernel. In order to protect against this leak a speculation barrier needs to be placed after an svc instruction.

In order to avoid the performance impact of these instructions, the kernel will soon start returning execution two instructions past the svc call. For now two hardware no ops are added, which allows syscalls to work with both old and new kernels. Once the kernel is cut over the no ops can be replaced with actual speculation barriers.
Creepy is a subjective descriptor. One person's creepy is another person's not-creepy. Things may be both creep and not-creepy at the same time, depending on who is observing it. I don't know that you can say someone's perception of creepiness is incorrect as that implies that there is an objectively correct label for creepiness.
The problem is that you end up trying to reimplement the functionality of multipe 1st-party apps. Each of these different providers has their own API with its own issues. You'll never do as good as job as the 1st party client, and that's assuming they even give you API access (tidal don't provide a public API, Spotify's API is a subset of the functionality, others impose rate limiting etc). The only scalable solution I can see is to have service providers integrate your tech. But how to get them interested?

Don't get me wrong, I think this would be a great thing to have and I'd love to get involved. For audio playback there is Mopidy (I'm a maintainer) which provides something similar but it would be so much better if there was a open chromecast-like protocol we could hook into and integrate into 1st-party apps rather than requiring the use of our clients.

Ask HN: Have you ever tried two PC development?
I kinda stumbled into this but wondering if others make a practice of this. I have a macbook, and I have a fedora31 linux machine. Not a VM or something in the cloud, two real physical laptops and I use the mac for 4 hours a day and the linux machine for 4 hours a day.

And I've noticed this forces good dev PC hygiene in that I have this rule I never break: no files I need can only be on one hard drive. Also, if I have sample data in one database, I force myself to have an easy way to re-create that sample data for myself 4 hour later. But it's not just for myself. This two PC dev system means when the next developer comes on the project there are no surprises of stuff that only works on my 1 machine that did the dev work.

And the fear of what if my laptop is stolen goes toward zero since 4 hours later I always start all over on a different laptop.

Oh and I get to be BOTH a mac user and a linux user! My copy paste skills are amazing.

> The lawyers plan to seek up to $93 million, equal to 30% of $310 million, in legal fees, plus up to $1.5 million for expenses.

Ah of course...
TL;DR:

> Just add "_nomap" to your network's name to opt out from Google's service.

> Microsoft requires you to include "_optout" somewhere in your SSID.

> So you'd need to create an ID such as "1234_optout_nomap" to reject both services.

Ugh, this seems really annoying, because SSIDs are limited to 32 chars, and you give up 13 just opting out of these services
yeah but how is it state's rights to conduct federal elections though ? I guess its somewhere in the constitution ?
> All that is certainly true, but we're talking about a function that dates back to the 70s here. It predates all of those nice error handling concepts (exceptions, Result<T>, multiple return values), so it's pretty sensible from that perspective to have -1 be the error value.

It doesn't predate creating a struct which tells you exactly whether thing went wrong and how.

The simple point was that Oregon's position was foolish. You keep pointing to Oregon's position as if it makes any sense. When one sees a bad government policy used improperly you don't usually state "But the state says so, so I guess it's just the way it is".

It's a bad position and this case is an example of why it's a bad position.

You stated that "If he claimed to be an engineer (which he acknowledges) and the state claims the title for licensing (which it did) then you can't enforce that licensing without some sort of penalty."

Of course you can. He didn't build bridges for pay, which is the type of engineering the law is clearly about. He just stated that he was an "engineer".

But yes, I'm the simplistic thinker, for pointing out that shades of gray exist in your black and white definition of things.
Thank you! As a non-native English speaker this is actually pretty useful.

Somewhat tangentially, from Dennett's review of Lucas' "The Freedom of the Will"

"He obtains some of his pet conclusions by patent non sequiturs, aided by a great deal of hand waving, and not a few elementary logical confusions and slips (e.g., pp. 39, 61, 72, MO). But he gives us a splendid display of his command of Latin, Greek, and Middle English, and, except for failing to give any reference for a crucial argument of Wolfgang Pauli's that he mentions (p. 112), his footnotes are erudite."
That backprop is most likely an artifact of a sample on a lineage being sequenced in North America, but the lineage also continues in Asia, where that lineage had not been sequenced yet. As in, someone in Asia spread COVID-19 to two people, one of whom traveled to North American and had their virus sequenced. The lineage also continued in Asia and was eventually sequenced days/weeks later, so the inferred tree includes a North American sample seeming to give rise to more Asian infections.
