In other words, we’re being flooded by “content marketing” sewage... whether the authors think of it in those terms or not. The mentality has stepped into a lot of places insidiously.

Unfortunately, signaling games are difficult to avoid in any burgeoning ecosystem. The problem is that our signaling schemes are almost as crude as “spray and pray” and our information seeking methods are as crude as “click and pray” (to the search overlords, or to the algorithmic feed overlords).

Both sensitivity and specificity are increasingly impoverished in online information communication. Maybe this is a fundamental caveat to large one-size-fits-all platforms... they cannot serve a variety of needs beyond a simplified representative.

There are circumstances in which non-competes are enforceable in the UK. Even if it doesn’t technically apply to your situation, it can end up with a court deciding. At the least, a bloody minded employer can make it too expensive and painful to hire you by taking out an injunction against the new employer.

Sadly, thinking non-competes don’t apply in the UK has led people to sign them glibly and then face problems later.

If you call me on a consumer service which explicitly delineates that behavior, why would it be unreasonable for me to see your video before I accept?

Presumably you would know who you're video calling anyhow prior to calling them, so there's not really a meaningful privacy violation...

The only case I can think of is you calling me to expose yourself or something - to that, I'd say that a privacy option where you can make it so you have to add someone before they can video call you would suffice.

I work at a major research institute/hospital. We still have 100 Mbps connections everywhere, with a few 1 Gbps ports available if you beg (and pay!). We still move data around by sneakernet--a briskly walking postdoc can move a Tb/minute with a hard drive in their pocket.

I would love 10 Gbps connections, but I don't think they're right around the corner.
There are laws against representing yourself as military (active or former) when you are not a member; these laws are pretty narrow in scope and likely would not affect you answering the phone in this manner. Another concern is to avoid (mis)representing yourself as any kind of law enforcement or emergency services involved capacity, as I believe there are federal regulations forbidding this.

I'd be more concerned with making false statements to federal agents, which is a crime, when answering the phone using those words. At that point in the call, you are announcing yourself and making verifiable statements, although in jest. But if you're talking to someone who wants to ruin your weekend, they will find a way to do so.

I don't know if anyone (anymore) thinks that computer science is the same as software development. Knowing the latest library APIs, versus doing research to find a faster hash sort, are two different areas, IMO. I also wonder about the different industries and how they compare (SaaS vs CGI vs HFT).

I think if you want to forge new roads in programming, a little theoretical studying doesn't hurt, so why not explore a university degree.

I also do not enjoy the endless debates around self-taught versus schooling. I've seen real-life anecdotes from both viewpoints and find that it's too subjective for anyone to declare anything from either side. I personally don't recommend people jump out and grab a CS degree, but there are some good programs out there.
The accuracy of the adverb "silently" is debatable, as are other questions that arise the practices described in the article. Here are some debate questions and the way I'd answer them:

1) Is it fair to include the word "silently" in this post's title? [I think so, especially since it's part of the original article and reflects the author's emphasis.]

2) Does the word "silently" make Stripe look sneaky and bad? [Yes.]

3) Is Stripe's level of tracking invasive? [Yes.]

4) Should Stripe have been more forthcoming about the level of tracking they practice? [Most definitely! In this age of data breaches, users-as-the-product, and sneaky, untrustworthy online companies, Stripe should DEFINITELY have been more open about this, and should let its payment-service customers know what they're signing up for, in clear terms. Fraud prevention is a desirable feature, but potential customers should also be able to weigh that against the cost of invasive tracking. Furthermore, as a payment-processing company which can make loads of money in a very straightforward way (through commissions), Stripe should be content to be just that, and should get rid of any ideas, visions, or TOS language involving payment-service-tracking-derived advertising. If Stripe wants to take the high road, they could consider adding a "no data sold to advertisers" canary in its TOS that can assure the privacy-conscious of Stripe's pure intentions--or warn them when an undesirable corporate change happens that may prompt them to look for a service more aligned with their own priorities. Personally, I'm tired of companies that want to take over the world and seek profit in every area at any cost. Sheesh!]

I've not looked too far into it but my guess is that ripgrep being faster is just due to Gnu grep using a slower algorithm (and supporting unnecessary extensions).

Why is that strange? You now have a diverse set of frontends and a monoculture on the backend. A world with Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Brave, and the Yandex browser is still a browser engine monoculture.

Your point is valid but you can also prove you can accomplish something while also actually accomplishing something meaningful. For example you complete one of your side projects instead of a meaningless assignment. Sure, the side project might not actually succeed, but at least it had a chance. I also feel like 95% of the key to learning are hard deadlines with consequences.

Also, to varying degrees, every justification for doing a CS degree has smelled like an attempt at rationalizing a poor decision.

It would be interesting to compare the safari budget/manpower. Even given that, I would imagine safari only has to support one-ish OS, and probably has help from the OS group.
In practice I think it is hard to beat C in this regard. You can go pretty far if you are willing adapt to its quirks! And while C doesn't always allow for the best optimization (such as returning multiple values via registers), the workarounds often are still pretty fast.

On a more theoretical level there has been some research on what a better intermediate language would look like. One project I found interesting was Mu VM, which offers some niceties for compiling languages with a garbage collector.

Some of the bigger vaping companies are owned by tobacco companies. e.g. Juul.
> Seems like overkill to say "THC is dangerous"

Sure, THC itself (at least in reasonable doses, taken by a mentally stable person) is not dangerous, vaping [black market] THC oils is. We don't vape anything but nicotine here in Europe, we just smoke weed occasionally when we want THC so we have no vaping-related deaths here.
I had that perception from friends who work remotely, yet, it seems counter intuitive... I would think that if a company is open to fill a position with someone remote than the supply-side is much bigger lowering the bargaining power of someone filling that position.

Plus as others have mentioned, remote-position is seen as a perk so I expected it to put more downward pressure on salary

I agree with everything in your comment except the first line.

I don't think software developer pay follows a power law, or at least not in this dataset. Ignoring equity (which can cause power law type behavior if enough folks strike it rich), the distribution of pay is probably closer to a lognormal distribution. It's just not skewed enough to constitute a power law — that would imply serious skew.

Additionally, this dataset excludes outliers making multiple millions of dollars, so that also reduces the likelihood of a power law-style distribution.

Lastly, this dataset is only U.S. developers, so there isn't skew across meaningfully different geographies.

With a lognormal distribution, your point remains valid, but the effect is not nearly so dramatic.
Maybe so. But protecting the 1st Amendment rights of its users is not one of those "constitutional concerns".
A bit of history of the project :) We started by using the name "journal du pirate" but lots of French people disliked this name because in French "Pirate" is more associated to illegal hacking, so it would damage the image of the project.

I think, much like FaceTime, it's designed primarily (both UX and architecture) around the two-party call use case, but can support several more as needed (12 total for Duo, 32 for Facetime).

Whereas solutions like Meet and Zoom are designed primarily (both UX and architecture) around multi-party, supporting 100's (250 for Meet, 500 for Zoom).
Your correction was correct, thanks for still seeking to answer the question.

I think I generally agree with your premise -- there are large gates in place and the licensing is much harder to achieve than a college degree. Though I think this setup breaks down partially (But not completely) when we view that PhD biochemists are still paid far less than doctors even with roughly equivalent time horizons and some level of institutional gating (4-6 years for PhD, maybe a PostDoc).

Either way, this is a fun new frame to play around with. Thanks for your time!
And it's not even hard, just ugly. Which is much less of a problem for a compiler IR.

I'd personally appreciate some way to tell right on HN that a title has been edited (or more importantly, that the original URL was altered to point to a different page...

There really needs to be some kind of capital punishment for companies pushing bullshit like this and deliberately misleading customers. As a bonus we would also get rid of homeopathy and MLMs.

EDIT: Not capital punishment for the people involved obviously, but the companies should be severely sanctioned. Possibly even closed. The involved management should be prohibited from holding management positions in the future for 10 years or more. Oh, and all bonuses paid out since the fraud started should be reclaimed with personal fines.
So why not explore a university degree? Let me give you 300,000 reasons-- in other words, the price (in dollars) at a fancy university for said degree.

I'm just saying that it's failed my team as often as it has helped. If the theoretical model doesn't match the problem exactly, you can get the WRONG answer as that NP-complete obsessed dude did when he didn't look for a heuristic.

CS 3210 & 6210 were my favorite undergrad courses.

Incredibly frustrating, but I learned more general concepts in each semester than in anything else.

Interesting support for your claims. Not saying they are wrong, but a classified US intelligence report doesn't really carry much weight either (link 1).

I cofounded a company with Patrick several years ago and have known him for a long time, and in that entire time he has lived full time in Japan. I don't know the particulars of his immigration situation, but if I had to hazard a guess, yes, he's a PR.

I don't know anything in particular about his concerns about his own status. I have, on the other hand, known many LPRs in the US who were extraordinarily careful about their engagement in public matters out of concern about their status.

If your argument is that protection for PRs in Japan is stronger than that of US LPRs, I'm going to go ahead and call that an extraordinary claim. At some point, though, probably rapidly approaching, litigating this point becomes ghoulish. I haven't heard Patrick say he's specifically concerned about his own status, but he's clearly concerned about some of the people he worked with.
