So you have linked me to a list of security vulnerabilities - are you suggesting all security vulnerabilities need to be addressed by the language spec and the compiler? I doubt such a wide and diverse range of problems be addressed at such a low level.

At a glance, most of those look like bounds checking problems. tcc (Tiny C Compiler) allows you to compile in bounds-checking with all pointer dereferences.

C++ STL implementations generally have bounds checking all over the place - this requires compiling in debug mode IIRC, but it is evidence of the possibilities of safety without language or compiler support.

Lisp-style meta-programming can get you basically anything you want from a language without language or compiler support.
You missed the part where she was subjected to systematic intimidation by Uber and private investigators working on their behalf after she left.
> when people say "overwhelmed" in this context they mean that people cannot obtain healthcare.

The “no non-COVID patients” part didn't happen because suddenly no one needed ICU care or other hospitalization for non-COVID reasons, it happened because people were systematically excluded starting with methods from soft (discouragement to seek care) to hard (bans on classes of procedures, triage prioritization, etc.) from hospital care for non-COVID reasons.

Hospitals in and around NYC were, like those in Italy at the peak of the crisis, using criteria beyond medical need to allocate ventilators because medical need exceeded supply. That's overwhelmed, and ant standard which suggests it isn't is a dumbass standard.

there are so many great databases out there. There's no need for one that has been mediocre for years and continues to make false claims. This is an issue of years of super aggressive marketing of an inferior product making it hard on engineers.

Because I need a fast CPU for builds I'm looking at ASUS "gaming" laptops. The ASUS TUF Gaming A15 in particular is under $1000 before taxes here and has a good Ryzen. There are even better gaming laptops from ASUS that are thinner, but I think the A15 is a good 'workhorse'.

If you're new to marketing: domains with a dash in them are considered seconds rate to domains that don't have a dash.
Another point I'd like to suggest: The motivations of the individual, the team, and the company should all aligned.

Individuals should be happy to help other team members, or members of other teams. Teams should be willing to give up under utilized resources if it means contributing to the goals of the company. The company and teams should support individual growth and reward individuals who help them reach their goals.

That should all be obvious, but it's not uncommon for individuals to be in competition with each other, teams to hoard resources "just in case," and individuals and companies to have an adversarial relationship.

I'm uncertain that is a reasonable statistical comparison. Seems like they are trying to use that to say it isn't a big deal but doesn't that mean that it doubles your risk of dying in a given year? It also doesn't include risk of serious long term complications.

I opted out of backscatter back in the day (and looking at the facts retrospectively I feel validated in doing so, for example the miscalibrated units found to be spitting out 20x more radiation than designed).

I don't opt out of Millimeter Wave today, as I'm yet to see convincing scientific arguments or evidence that they're unsafe, or what the mechanism would be outside of mild tissue heating. I do choose to close my eyes when scanned though, take that as you will.

Editorial review is not peer review; and it's arguably the system we should be moving towards. Preprint servers mean you could appoint yourself as an editor and more or less DiY. The problem is, the way the journal system is set up; nobody wants to pay for this, and it would be career suicide to do it for free.

The mini-conf tour is a good overview for generalized application. Your ICLR pages are great examples of mini-conf in action, e.g.

I'd include that under 1., but I can certainly see why you'd list it as a separate point too.
I'd say binary considerations are incompatible with risk calculations because no person and no procedure is perfect nor perfectly followed, nothing is completely bug free, etc. Some small part of a calculation might appear binary, but other terms usually dominate.

Risk calculations are far broader than infosec and don't deserve the dismissiveness you seem to be casting towards them. Risk calculations are the core of business. Almost every decision a business makes is a risk calculation; every action has an opportunity cost if it isn't intrinsically risky, and actions with certainty are very rare.

(For the avoidance of doubt, I believe that use of memory-unsafe languages should be avoided if reasonably possible, but there are still plenty of reasonable reasons to use C, C++ etc. instead.)

I am always impressed by the serviceability of Dell computers, including this laptop. Servers, for example, can be opened and services without tools. Blue plastic levers and knobs are for parts that can be removed with the power off; red plastic is for parts like internal cooling fans that can be hot swapped while the server is running.

I wish Apple hadn’t completely given up on the market that includes most of the computer purchases I want to make: software development, a few network servers, NAS, content creation, home automation, gaming.
No, I think you misunderstand: read about the scrubs, they run weekly or monthly. Nothing accidental about that.

I keep my server off most of the time. And that is a nice way of missing scrubs. In my case the scrub did what it needs to do: find disks with bad sectors. I should do something extra in the future to run scrubs if they miss their schedule.

> Book club, for us, isn’t about reading the same book; it’s about reading a book together.

I agree with the author's conclusions - and have a book club that operates the same way. And I agree with him because it's a better social experience. (A chance to catch up with others with happen to share book reading as a hobby without needing to do homework.)

Another great experience I want to share is the online bookchallenge I participated in, organized by Dmitry Dubilet (founder of Monobank). It marries simple economic incentives design with love to reading books.

The idea is that each participant sends some money into the pool – 10 euros in that particular case – and commit to read a book from the list in 3 weeks. (There was a prepared list of diverse set of books like "You must be joking, Mr. Feynman" or "Freakonomics"). By the end of the challenge, a simple oracle mechanism was used to determine who read a book or not – everyone was randomly assigned a few people who have chosen the same book and had to make a call to talk about a book and check if person have read it. Once verification was done, money from the pool have been divided between people who read the book.

I especially loved that concept due to the fact that it's almost exactly what people in cryptocommunity try to do with tokens and cryptoeconomy – create economic incentives (in a new way), new oracles (mechanisms of connecting economic system to the offline world) and change peoples behavior in the socially beneficial way.

But this time it was done just with a mobile banking app and a Google Forms.

With radiation, I always recommend people study page 6 of this DOE radiation dose range pdf [1] to put dose rates in context. The spectrum of radiation doses spans many orders of magnitude and a single atom decaying is readily detectable.

Note in particular that there are places on Earth like Ramsar, Iran that have natural background dose rates above 50 mSv/year and no one has been able to show definitively that dose rates at or below that level do or do not cause harm (or benefit!).

Another fun data point is the longitudinal studies of flight crew who spend a good part of their career exposed to higher-than-normal natural cosmic radiation (while flying they are above much of the Earth's protective atmosphere) [2]. We should compare how much dose we get from the scanners at airports to how much we get from intergalactic protons raining down from the cosmos while we're up in the air.

The work on Korean toponymy is recent enough (and still ongoing) that it is missing in many older standard references for the history of Japanese. So, in a discussion like this, if a person mentions that the Japonic family is a language isolate, then it is helpful to add for readers less familiar with this subject that it isn’t completely isolated.
The original article is clearly talking about Lyft, and having started at there at the same time, I thought the onboarding process was much better than at other companies that I have worked at (others are either too broad/corporate or just a README).

Not having a desk to work at is inexcusable, and definitely seems like a fluke rather than the norm.

A friend who's been running a book club swears by (4). He goes around and asks the same question every week: "What did you read, and how did it make you feel?".

It gets people talking about the _why of the books_, particularly why they found it interesting, or what ticked for them. This makes for a more engaging discussion.
I think I can add to your observation: The difference between a good leader and a jerk can come down to ego. A good leader may have to make a decision despite hurting feelings and enduring bad emotions, but will make the decision based on the right path even if they suffer too. Jerks will make decisions that upset others but will go to the mat to defend their own feelings and emotions.

For jerks, it's not "anything to make this happen." It's "anything to make me happen."

In every airport of every country?

When we sold our last ICE car to go electric, we learned that a lot of used ICE car inventory is being shipped to Mexico and other countries where they are still ok dealing with the smell (or just not in a financial position to move forward as fast). I imagine the same kind of dynamic happens with equipment like this.
As far as I know, any arbitrary waveform can be represented by an _infinite_ sum of sine waves, and approximated by a finite sum of sine waves. However, I don't know if you can assert that a sine wave is the only fundamental building block for sound that exists. Is there a physical reason for that statement?
If the ridiculous money is (partly) compensation for the bad circumstances, would you expect the compensation to sink if a union improves the situation?

I'm not sure how this is in different countries. I've not heard that many horror stories in Germany, but most work here is also not VC-backed startups, and the compensation is much lower in comparison. The non-vc-investing might of course also be a reason for lower compensation, when your valuation can't explode, attracting the top developers is less of a priority.

> P.S., In what industries do you commonly see managers threatening or bullying workers? I haven't seen that at all.

Sales (a lot!), restaurants (pretty much every line cook I've ever spoken to mentions it, and what I read in comments online sounds like it's the same in all countries), call centers, transportation off the top of my head. The main difference is that they're usually not paid well.
How long did you have the domain registered before they changed it to a premium domain? That seems like something that might violate the base registry agreement. Section 2.10(c):

> The parties acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 2.10(c) is to prohibit abusive and/or discriminatory Renewal Pricing practices imposed by Registry Operator without the written consent of the applicable registrant at the time of the initial registration of the domain and this Section 2.10(c) will be interpreted broadly to prohibit such practices.

I ask because I have a similar domain.

In databases I think what they mean with persistence is writing to disk, i.e committing to the new state.

They ship directly from China (Shenzen specifically), and there can be delays sometimes. When I ordered my pinebook pro, the Hong Kong protests resulted in a slight delay. I think the lockdowns in China are causing delays currently. They pushed back the release day of one of their new hardware platforms, the hardrock64. It is sort of lame that they haven't been transparent about shipping dates, but I think your goods will come.

Wow... talk about arrogance! I think you’re unclear about the definition of that word. I’m suggesting that developers have choice in what works for a given project. It’s arrogance to think only your choice is correct.

You’re the type of programmer that tanks projects because of that arrogance and an inability to work with other “meatbags”. Maybe for you it’s all about code perfection, but for the rest of humanity it’s about making a product that works, solves a problem, makes the world a better place, or earns a profit.

Too bad my suckers bet has paid off with success and money. Best of luck with your attitude in life.

Guess these Github meatbags have made a suckers bet on a dynamic language. No way they could be efficient or successful maintaining or refactoring a project of that scale. (Yes that’s sarcasm for the sarcastically impaired)

I have always opted out of these scanners as a matter of principle. (To wit, I think it’s an erosion of privacy.) But you should know that the TSA changed their guidelines such that granting a request to opt out is effectively up to the discretion of the TSA agent at security. Their new guidance says:

>While passengers may generally decline AIT screening in favor of physical screening, TSA may direct mandatory AIT screening for some passengers.

I found out about the change as I was going through security and opted out. The folks in line behind me said “I didn’t know you could do that” and a queue formed of folks opting out. They made everyone else behind me go through the scanner, saying that it was a security risk to have folks queueing to opt out. (It’s a security risk to form a queue inside a long security screening queue?) The reality is that this rule change was needed so that they could avoid the screening process grinding to a halt if everyone requests a manual screening.
