I am sure you can also produce a long list of screwups by private companies. Assuming you made an honest effort of course. Private companies fail and go bankrupt every single day. 90% of private companies fail within a year. The real problem is not government/private. The real problem is making a large number of people work well together while making sure millions of decisions are all 100% correct. That is a very hard problem. What is surprising to me is that large organizations (governmental/private) sometimes succeed. That is the real miracle.

As an Asian American, I logically understand that there is discrimination applied towards us, yet for myself and among my peer group, I feel like we really didn't experience too many difficulties. I imagine my perspective is probably biased, as in California, the public UC system doesn't practice affirmative action, of which my university is a part of.

Yep. But having this feature only in shadow-cljs doesn't do much for the ecosystem as a whole since non-portable. With this change, many tools, cljsbuild, Figwheel, etc. have the same capabilities. It also opens the door for creating ClojureScript libraries that depend on node_modules and these can again be consumed with any tool.
That sounds good. =) By the way, and not to put too fine a point on it, is there a reason why you don't call them Republic-of-Chinese friends?

Yeah I'm not totally sure what he did was legal. Before I took the LOA, I had been missing work and asking to WFH a lot. I probably could have fought it or sued but again, I wasn't in a great place mentally and the whole situation gave me horrible paranoia about going back into tech (on top of the other mental health problems I was having). This was at Amazon, which dooesn't exactly have a reputation for being nice to their employees.

Ironically, even with the gap I think I'm a waaaay better developer than I was at my first job, simply due to having more life experience and being more responsible overall. It probably took me about a month or two to get caught up and not be rusty, and I think my "getting up to speed and familiar with a new codebase and platform" time was more or less the same as it would be at any new job.
A distortion is a distortion. Whether that distortion is a good thing or not, is a value judgement.
I find it inaccurate. Treasure Island does have a grocery store (Island Cove Market). Not a supermarket (e.g., 10,000+ items), but probably 1,000+ different items.

Real food deserts are places where you'd have to have to walk 10, 20+ miles for access to something like that. More akin to areas in the rural midwest.

Yeast is far, far easier to keep around than bananas though. Honestly, I'm not trying to be mean, but if we are talking supply-chain shortages, bananas are the worst suggestion. They don't last long at all, and rely on being transported vast distances.

Cinnamon is also not the best suggestion- there is a very good reason spices were considered a luxury, as they aren't truly necessary and rely on being transported long distances.

Baking powder is a reasonable suggestion, as it stores essentially indefinitely. Making it is theoretically possible, but it isn't a project I'd recommend for an inexperienced chemist. Although if things are at that point, bread likely won't be your highest priority.

Sourdough would be a viable suggestion, there is a reason the miners in the Yukon gold rush used it. It can be made with ingredients that can be locally sourced/grown nearly anywhere. However, it does rely on refrigeration.
I understand your sentiment and I’m sure you’re well meaning. But Asian Americans are one of the most diverse groups, it’s a huge part of the world and part of the problem is people assuming all Asian Americans are the same personality
This system is going after the dream where everyone can earn extra money by letting other people use spare space on their hard drives. In theory, I think it could offer "cloud storage" at orders of magnitude lower cost than other offerings- This would certainly be desirable.

The problem is, people have been trying to build this sort of system for many years, so any proposed system is likely to fail when put into operation & therefore has an enormous burden to prove they've overcome the many fatal flaws that existed in previous systems.
There’s a lot of really interesting work left to be done in this area. In our company’s other life we’re involved in CAR-T research, which involves exploiting natural pathways in our immune systems to target them at cancer cells. It’s a super exciting area of research and is bleeding edge in terms of breakthrough therapies coming into the clinic. These therapies[0][1] cure upwards of 90% of what would otherwise be incurable cancers, but they also induce severe inflammatory responses (cytokine storm) which results in respiratory failure and neurological adverse events (that’s a nice clean clinical way of saying putting them in a coma).

The holy grail would be real-time targeted therapeutics to modulate our immune systems up and down in response to various cues. We’re a long way off from that but it’s an idea that’s beginning to get wider acceptance in the medical community.

A roundabout solution might be to only allow people out of quarantine if they have an acceptable contact tracing solution so that if they become infected they can notify others - and - others can notify them. Then see how supply and demand work that out ... (although it would, of course, take too long).

If the draft can exist, so can contract-tracing, it's a matter of context and proportionality. Right now the greater good favours contact tracing though probably not after the pandemic dies down.
The end of the war began when Germany invaded Russia. Europe/Russia had already killed 30+ million German soldiers and destroyed most of the German war machine when the US joined the conflict. The real contribution of the US was stopping Russia from invading Europe after the war (see Berlin Airlift) by threatening to drop nuclear bombs on Russia (Russia at that point wasn't a nuclear power).

> You're just offering your own special definition of "agile",

I'm not so sure.

What's the official definition? Don't give me the manifesto, that's just an implementation of common sense in development, as applied to software.

As a trained mechanical engineer (maybe that's why the quote about mechanical engineers irked me especially), the agile manifesto just reads like good engineering practice to me.

And indeed the signatories of the manifesto expected to start a huge discussion on what agility meant for any particular team or product, and how to best live up to its principles.

> of course [it doesn't fit]

That was uncalled for.

> and especially any agile consultant's.

I'm (something akin to) an agile consultant though :-)

Also, just to point out: maybe my definition of Agile diverges from canon. That's OK. I don't care to follow the canon, I care to do right by those who I've been asked to support.

> Of course, even more ironically, it doesn't fit the original agile manifesto:

> > Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion.

How is "welcome changing requirements" a bad fit for "changed the mission objectives (as new information emerged)". Clearly the [competitive advantage/likelihood of success] was increased? In fact the entire programme was shaped such that change was explicit part of the plan.

I've stared at this quote for a while now, and I still can't see the contradiction.
The only way something like this would even be useful is if the majority of the population voluntarily downloaded this and opted-in to it.

Does anyone think that’s actually realistic? I’m not optimistic.
The bit about the equity package rings true to me. I've never had options that have been worth anything. And I had an employee stock purchase program that was a can't lose deal where the shares would be priced at the lower of the price at the beginning and end of the purchase period. Problem was, between the end of the purchase period and the delivery of the shares, the stock price dropped by 30%.
Luckily we do. They’re called the University of California system. At least California banned affirmative action in the 90s.
Using a git GUI is a less 'technical' option, but no matter who the target audience, there'll be some learning involved.

One 'non-code' example: document editors (e.g., Microsoft Word) have a version of this in tracking of changes (with reversion options).

More practically, I don't think there are many domains where the granularity of control over 'versions' is as useful as with digital files.

Any of these packages is going to pull snapd in if installed. Soon after writing the above comment, I decided to install chromium, and ... snapd got installed as well as a result. I guess I should double check each claim I am about to make, BEFORE making it.

sigh...

Edit: Please note that many of these are "leaf" packages, by which I mean that no other packages depend on them.

Just a word of encouragement from someone 12 yrs down the line from you: Northeastern PL is a great group. And you seem to have the mindset to get into research, atleast a PhD. PhD admissions are (mostly) purely meritocratic. Take the long-term view. Best of luck!
Its not a competition, but I can do you one better. I have excellent jobs get away from me 3 times, days before I join. First was due to 2008 recession, company shutdown and I came to know when I went to join on day ONE, fresh after graduation. The last was now due to covid, the company abandon plans and even fired some their own staff. So, no scope of getting there. Scores of shitty jobs in shitty companies. Couple of failed startups and pending payments I doubt to recover.

But unlike the last 2 times, now it didn't hurt much. May be i developed a tolerance. But its more of the fact that I accepted that many things are beyond my control. The fact it happens, shouldn't be taken personally by looking around and wondering why it "happened to me"? Shit happens, move on.

Focus on self-development like reading more, watching & listening to informative things like documentaries or well-written programs instead of time-killers. Stick to a personal routine and keep a clear head.

What is the fun if everyone has the same story? I story is unique to me, no claims of plagiarism. Your priority is to keep moving forward, whatever happens just think how to move forward.

I just talking this time and studying. What else can I do? I do spend about an hour applying for jobs. Learn new skills, in job & in life. I have a small garden now that was setup during this covid times. I contribute fresh leafs to the meals at home.

> so here I am sitting jobless leeching on my family till god know when.
sitting jobless - that is you. Why sit simply, do something productive for you or the ones around you. Just washed some old unused vessels in the kitchen that my mom wanted to use now.
leeching? as long was you not drinking or snorting drugs and actually trying to move forward its fine. Your time will come. You need to believe that to keep moving forward.

Dont resent or feel jealous of the ones who seem to have things better than you. You can never compare yourself to any one around.

The only person to compete with is yourself from yesterday.
In that case, that sounds like Amazon is charging you differently based on how other people are using their resources. In the times of surge pricing, I wouldn't be surprised if they are doing that to make it so they make the same amount of profit, regardless of how much you are directly using, but depending on whether they are getting enough money from all tenants of a particular shared host. So if other people are paying less, they jack up your pricing to equalize things out so at the end of the day, their systems are still hitting their profit target.
Our treatment of Native Americans is a somewhat different story. They were (and kind of still are) foreign nations. Our treatment of them was still horrible; but a different kind of horrible than our treatment of blacks and the Japanese (both of whom were at least 3/5ths of a US citizen per person).

Also, America's utter indifference to the pain and suffering we cause to foreigners continues to this day even stronger than our discrimination against either Blacks or Asians.

Storing Private Files in .git
Well, tbh, that sounds a bit far fetched. I meant that we should cut them some slack (English is not my first language).

That being said, it's not as bright as I thought it was - see my other comment.
And here I thought it fairly obvious (for those not covering their ears). The general idea of it was to mobilize some kind of cooperative fight to defeat the very real threat of climate change, and to overcome our addiction to fossil fuel and the consequential CO2 emissions and pollution. Many very talented people have created a lot of good ideas and solutions to the oncoming disaster.

I don't think that people realize how much this pandemic is a walk in the park compared to whats coming down the road. I don't think people want to think. I think they want to stick their head in the sand and ignore the fact that there have been many calamities in human history. Perhaps they never heard of the 10s of millions of people who starved to death in Asia less than a century ago. That was a walk in the park by comparison.

Finally, I think that people don't realize how many of the technologies that they so happily embrace (without understanding how they work or where they came from) are the result of the same scientific process that has led 11,000 scientists to tell us that our time to act is growing very short.

That's the general idea of it. And I feel sorry as hell for today's wonderful kids who will have to pay with a miserable life (those who survive) for the willful ignorance of their parents and grandparents.

This is a really nice reply. I can imagine it. Thanks.
Hello! My Name is Adam. I wrote this web client for a programming class that I am in, but also because I waste too much time on HN. The goal was initially to create a client that reduced consumption, but this will most likely increase my consumption. The code is quite spaghetti as of now, but I am not sure if I will continue development. I would like to implement all the features of the HN website, along with a more modern UI. I guess the big downside is the fact that it all runs off of JS, but there is no getting around that unless I host it myself.
The editor of Talkingpoints Memo made a really good point early this week [1]. Just a bit more than 0.1% of NY residents have died from known covid-19 infections. This sets a lower floor of the actual mortality rate, since even if not a single other person died of it in the future, and not a single person died from it but wasn't counted, and even if 100% of NY residents are/were carriers, the mortality rate would be 0.1%.

But an early test shows about 21% infection rate in NYC (tested by serum levels of antigens), and certainly people will continue to die of it, and certainly there are many people who died of it but aren't recognized. Conservatively, the actual mortality rate is at least 0.6%, a multiple greater than the Stanford study.

The mistake here is making your measurements too granular. What happens is the board meets, long and medium term plans are made, etc etc. That's all good. Then what happens is every level of management calls in the banners and forces them to pitch how they align their teams and projects to whatever was pitched one level up. Somewhere along the process, you hit the point where planning stops being a positive and starts being a liability.

This process never stops, until you have some toothless PM slave driving devs because they're 8 levels removed from the strategic planning and they've pitched a 40-point/week development rate to their boss because they don't have enough information to do anything else. Anybody that tries to break the pattern is going to find themselves on the receiving end of an unfavourable performance review in any big business I've ever worked for.

There's a happy middle ground somewhere, where devs are given plenty of space to work but their output is still tied to the business's long term objectives. How you reliably reach that middle ground is probably a 8/9/10 figure question depending on the business.
There are plenty of real food deserts in major cities where residents without access to cars or reasonable public transportation cannot reasonably access grocery stores and they aren't anywhere close to 10+ miles away from their nearest grocery store. When you don't have a car and the public transportation infrastructure is non-existent, a few miles can out you in a food desert.
