What matters to the bean counters is if it can be done without expensing something new, everything else be damned. Unless you can get a clear, popular government mandate to spend money to make things more efficient, this is not a palatable solution.

Given how large refactors tend to go in general, this also doesn't necessarily lead to good outcomes; even with a relatively technocratic administration led by Mike Bloomberg (relative to comparable mayors, at least), upgrading NYC's 911 system massively spun out of control: https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/911-overhaul-2b-disaste...
Ah, yes, that's true. The social benefit to having 20/20 vision naturally instead of through surgery or wearing contacts is very low, even if people know about the contacts or surgery.
> Jobs are one of the things cities care most about more than anything.

And look where that got cities.

One school of thought is "just keep importing jobs AND add a ton of new housing" but there's a sort of capitalistic dystopian feeling to that, like that's the path to Blade Runner. Just need to start shipping out the people without high-enough paying jobs (again, actually - Europeans moving to the Americas doesn't seem that dissimilar) and we're there!
I live in the US, where laws are different than where you are. Can you help me understand: what happens if a child posts pictures of him/herself, against the wishes of the parent? Can the child be punished with the same fines as the grandparent in this case?
>Your work buddys today will be gone tomorrow

Nope, still friends with many of them after years I've left the company.

>If that's your thing because you're extroverted then great but a lot of people in tech are more ambiverted or introverted, they value deeper more meaningful relationships.

I've cultivated deep and meaningful relationships through work, just like I did it through school as well.

It sounds like you are projecting your person experience onto everyone to be honest. I'm sorry that you have not established any real and meaningful relationships through work, but the same isn't true for many of us.
Do you have any idea what that approach would do to bandwidth and latency?
Within 10 years, all kids will learn basic computational thought in school, and some will continue down that path to apply that knowledge to specific use cases. Coding in and of itself won't be so special, which will drive down the salaries for entry-level pay. However, being good at it is different than just having the ability to do entry-level work, and the best engineers still can deliver extremely high value to a company.

I personally believe that the salary ranges will follow a shallower bell curve, with lower starting pay, a lower median, and a much smaller group at the top making huge bank.

As to where any specific individual falls on that curve... that will depend entirely on your talent.
No disagreement at all.

Coming back to the calculus performed: if the odds of survival are much less than certain, what's the point at which a doctor, thinking algorithmically rather than with a mission, decides that there's more value in lives saved from a patient's organs than in trying to save the primary patient and potentially losing organ viability (or just time) if the mission fails?

I'm pretty certain the vast majority of doctors will obey the Hippocratic Oath as intended. I'm also somewhat certain that a minority subset of doctors will interpret the Oath differently than others, and this is the most impossible assertion to falsify because very few surgeons/teams will admit this short of a certifiably anonymous survey... if that.

To be clear, I don't think they're abusing employees. I just think calling it a 'signing bonus' is a ridiculous linguistic contortion.
Now you're onto a different topic - we're talking about charging fees on accounts.
Through my employer, I do work on an open source application. At one point a 3 letter agency contracted us to add some functionality that they needed. Of the developers at the company who work on said application, I happened to be the one picked to work on these features.

Eventually, someone actually read the contract and noticed that it required anyone working on it to have a security clearance. I ended up working on other parts of the same open source application that were being funded by a contract without such a clause, so we could have someone with a clearance charge the contract.

In my opinion, there is no free speech issue. But I realize that American customs and jurisprudence see free speech in a vastly more expanded way.

In Europe we generally don't. In Germany we certainly don't.

We have a doctrine of "practical concordance" where all basic rights limit each other and have to be weighed such that all basic rights achieve maximal effect. In a way we're looking for a global maximum, not a local "free speech trumps personal rights" solution.

And on another note: I always find it rich when Americans complain about that. America specifically forged our constitution that way. Free speech was not very important post-war, when de-nazification called for banning books, closing all newspapers, licensing newspapers by publishers who were politically "right".

You got that right back then, I'm not complaining about that. But if you had wanted full American Free Speech in Germany, you could have implemented it with a stroke of a pen. Don't blame us now.
They would have a server log of who tried on time to submit it and had server errors. Those people could not have foreseen this... so we can accept their late submissions
In Germany that's not only legal but the constitution considers this a fundamental right. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recht_am_eigenen_Bild_(Deutsch... (Link in german)

By upending the ruling it would conversely be a right to privacy issue. The American system values speech over privacy when they conflict, but some but in other countries, the preference might be for privacy. As a European and as someone whose family lived under communist rule, I think it's totally valid to favor privacy of the individual over the rights of someone to publicly disseminate their personal data against their will. Europeans were closer to the effects of the secret police forces and the mobs that enabled their rise to power.

Since then, the understanding about asymptomatic carriers has changed. And in response, the government updated it's suggestion.
The cost of land is too expensive in California. So if you buy a house that needs to be rebuilt, why tear down a 2-bedroom house and build another when you can build a 4-bedroom for 20% more?
My house was built in 1951. It was 2-bedroom and around 1000 sq-ft. A bedroom was added around 2000. We moved in 2013 and added another bedroom in 2017. So we now have a house double the size it was 20 years ago. In the process, a starter home was taken out of the market.
Why didn’t we just move to larger home? Unfortunately, buying a new home would cause property taxes to reset much higher. Buying something 25% more than my home is worth now would cause property taxes to double.
solid.

our jenkins can't talk to anything except github. it's isolated.

we use git for everything; our "versions" are git hashes. we maintain a manifest for the state of the repo and dependencies. this allows us to upgrade versions of dependencies as part of the normal workflow with ease (just a pull & checkout).
Not sure why this is getting downvoted. I did the census in 2010 and this was something I saw a lot in lower income neighborhoods -- easily 8+ people in 2-3 bedroom apartments.

They got to get to work, school, etc. And in the US you need a car, cuz public transit sucks, ergo, multiple parking spaces.

A dumb law, perhaps, but the parent comment isn't wrong.
That's very interesting! Do you happen to have any reference where I can read more about it? (a search on internet explorer profit licensed lawsuit didn't show anything relevant).
Oh wow, and yet it looked beautiful in Firefox on my OnePlus 6T. Very impressive.
Start selling anything and everything that has any monetary value on platforms like: Craigslist, Ebay, Facebook marketplace, nextDoor, close5 (if they're still around), letgo, etc. I mean, literally, just go through every last item in your house. If you haven't used it in the last 3 months, what's the point of holding on to it?

It's labor intensive, but at when you're done, you'll have a much cleaner house and a little bit of money too. I do this on the weekends.

If the point is to ensure everyone has a basic income even between jobs, but that nearly everyone will continue to work, and the purpose is to provide a safety net for the unemployed- think a minute before you reply- is it really that different from unemployment insurance?
I'll give you the fact that I didn't specify exactly what her use cases are, but I hope you don't mind me saying that this feels like a pretty dismissive reply without asking what the context is.

We could have antitrust enforcement that prevents companies like Alphabet and Facebook from becoming so dominant in our society, but if we are going to have such dominant corporations, we cannot allow unbridled censorship of speach on their platforms without undermining a pillar of societal strength, prosperity, and happiness: the marketplace of ideas.
Stay off Facebook.
Perhaps the first thing they should arrange is to have lunch breaks together with the low-wage work-force, i.e. in the same physical space. Or perhaps a company outing. That could result in some awareness and perhaps solidarity.

If these developers don't ever see or talk to the people who are suffering from the company strategy, then the problem may remain to appear imaginary or abstract.
I agree, but my counterpoint would be this: I like having _access_ to the Bay Area, but I don't like how much it costs to live somewhere accessible to SF. If I could live somewhere a little further out to save money, but still be able to visit the City and other places when I wanted or needed, that would be theoretically ideal for me. In practical terms, I'll let you know after I get a chance to try it out. ;-)
We live in a society experiencing a crisis of loneliness. Stripping away yet another built-in opportunity for in-person socialization and community building is going to make that worse, not better.
Isn't freedom of speech about being able to debate ideas and have different opinions? I don't see how that relates to this.
In my experience RMQ is solid enough that for many use-cases it's reasonable to run it without a standby (especially if you're on Kubernetes where you'll get a replacement instance created automatically if your active instance fails).

A common use-case is for async tasks (Celery) that can tolerate a few minutes of downtime. If you're running a fully evented architecture then this might not apply - though if you're not targeting 4-5 nines of reliability or an RTO of < 5mins, then you might not need a standby even if RMQ is a core part of your architecture. "Avoid single points of failure" is a good heuristic, but "consider the SLAs of your dependencies" is the more granular way of thinking about this, and a single RMQ instance has a very high uptime.

For context I had an RMQ docker container running for almost two years without any interruptions. If you're in a small team then HA might well be overkill.

Fun gotcha - if you're running RMQ in Kubernetes/Docker, make sure you give it an explicit memory limit, else it will try to allocate disk space equal to 40% of your host's memory. (See "memory limits" in https://hub.docker.com/_/rabbitmq). That's a good best-practice for any containerized environment regardless what workload you're running, but this one will cause errors if you're trying to use a small disk volume on a host with lots of memory.
I thought it was relevant because my initial reply was to someone saying

>They are too scared of weapons and (justified, defensive) violence to make Chinese occupation unviable.

To that end I felt striking is probably a better option to try before more violent forms of fighting get involved. Maybe nonviolent protest is not a good idea, but it's probably not a worse idea than violent ones.

>That is not something I'd advise anyone to bet their lives on.

Say without international community support, is there any winning strategy you can think of?

I personally think once the confrontation becomes more heated, at least a dozen western countries would allow HKers to immigrate to their countries, which doesn't require too much resources to do? One example is last year Sweden has already started granting China's Uighurs refugee status.
There's a lot of people who are treating remote work as binary; it has to be 100% remote or 100% onsite. I think that some will benefit from it (those whose commutes are long for example), and some may have children at home and thus can't work as productively.

Could it be possible to work from home most of the days, but not all of them?
What forces would stop landlords capturing a large part of this money?
"standard" is "whatever CPython managed to miss a segfault for today".

And PyEvalFrameEx is the stuff of nightmares that can't be really fixed because it hardcoded spaghetti that, if rewritten, could subtly break python in myriad ways that would make 2->3 migration a cakewalk.

Oh, and there's no real test suite to verify if you didn't break something subtle in implementation.

While parsing Ruby code is well known to be problematic, there is a very good reason why Ruby can have interchangeable implementation while Python pretty much can't.
If no one is working, then who is being taxed to pay for the UBI?

I don't think you understand how telemetry works because you're comparing it to scrolljacking and such. The telemetry they're talking about is for error reporting. It answers questions like

1. Did this error condition that should not happen happen?

2. How many users did it happen for? (Who is not available for legal reasons)

If you search for tracelogging in the code you'll find they're associated with debugging and errors.

https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/blob/e997f3e394e66f2...

I don't know if you understand how difficult it is to debug programs that fail on someone else's machine. Well that's what telemetry is for.
It depends on supply and demand for skills. If you have average skills that a hundred thousand other people have, then your skills are less valuable. If you have expert skills in a high demand area, then up. So building websites and most apps is flooded with people. Autonomous cars, some AI/ML security, VR / AR, vision, even COBOL, have fewer people, high demand. Just become very valuable to your potential employer. (Think about debugging autonomous cars, what would you make if you were great at that!)

There are online courses, some free, for those topics. There are open source projects on many of those topics.
If the money is more equally distributed, the quality of life will also become equally distributed. I imagine the next "Facebook city" at the border of "nowhere" and "farm ville" will get immediately a huge influx of hospitals, gourmet restaurants and private schools to supply its citizens.
Then that's the cost of managing the service. The only reason companies don't pay that now is because of the significant leverage they have over software development labor. We may be better compensated than many other roles, but we're still just entirely expendable resources.
not long term striking. most protesters are students.
Thanks for the kind words. Regarding the build quality - we strongly believe in buy-it-for-life philosophy, and the chassis is designed with repairability in mind [1]. Battery life is also one of the top concerns for us and we don't want our users to take the calculator out of the drawer after a long period only to find that the battery is dead. We've had suggestions to add a color screen or OLED display, but that would eat into the battery budget by a few orders of magnitude.

> You can host your video anywhere you like, but you get the most eyeballs and revenue from YouTube, and that's based on user preference and not on some nefarious activity on their part.

Maybe not "nefarious" exactly. But YouTube does have a virtual monopoly. And that's arguably illegal in the US. Or at least, it exposes them to additional government oversight.
Don't get so ahead of yourself. Even people in relative poverty, in many cases, have new(er) iPhones, and HEIC is default on my SE, the budget iPhone model from 2016. In high schools you're alienated if you don't have the "blue bubbles"* - although it's stupid, if you're in high school in 2020 you probably need an iPhone, and you can get older models for a relatively small price (my SE was <$100). If anything, the ones with the most privilege will have enough technical training to know to make their phones default to JPEG rather than HEIC.

Let me be contrary: who shut down millions of businesses and put millions out of work? It wasn't QAnon. It was the state -- and it looks like YouTube is aligned with the pro-shutdown folks who don't want their wisdom questioned.

Now I'm a big believer in keeping things shut. I thing prudence is super-important. But QAnon's actions are mainly talk. The state's, however, are different.
Very true, just go on Nextdoor in the Bay area. The same person who "fights" for social justice for the oppressed is the person who posts "How do I get rid of the homeless tents in front of my house?".

Better for who? Everything you described as "better" doesn't sound that way to me at all. What makes your opinion objectively correct?

Good for you! It honestly sounds like you'd be a pretty terrible person to work with in a team, remote or not.

My favorite example of having two bosses was as an intern. I was getting loaned out to a team that thought I was working full-time when I was really working 20 hours per week. I wasn't aware of this until I started getting super negative feedback from the manager. She basically thought I was the worst developer alive haha - then when I clarified I was a part-time intern and full-time student she totally lost it on my og manager. Of course he then was furious at me for blowing his scheme... not sure exactly how the internal budget/trading hours/money worked, but they were offloading 40 hours of full-time budget for my part-time efforts.
From a business perspective, the $15 a month makes sense.

However, I'd consider banking an essential need to modern day life. Thus I think it is worth looking at through a humanities perspective. Unfortunately in our current situation, it's very expensive to be poor.

I'm not sure where they got the notion that emergency services are the only other field where people go on-call. Plenty of industries operate 24/7.

I worked in high volume manufacturing where process engineers could be on-call 24/7-365 unless you explicitly asked a backup to cover you during a vacation or weekend. Depending on the part of the process you owned, that might mean a middle-of-the-night call a couple times a month or several times a week. No human lives on the line, just lots of money.
He probably mentions Solyndra because they absconded with $250 million in taxpayer money shortly after it was granted to them. They got the funds and the doors were shut the same week, money gone into who knows what offshore bank accounts.
Er... what?

By "raw octet stream", I meant that the client should upload a file named X made of opaque bytes 0xABCD, as a file named X made of opaque bytes 0xABCD; rather than assuming a higher-level intent on the server's part to acquire some abstract document, where the client would be able to better serve that request by transforming its file to a different file-format.

I didn't mean that e.g. the client should avoid using Transfer-Encoding compression during the HTTP POST request, or anything like that. (That is, after all, a fact about the wire representation of the request; it doesn't affect the file received on the server end.)

Or, to put that another way, an <input type="file"> with no `accept`, is to the client, as `Cache-Control: no-transform` is to the server: an expressed desire to get some specific data that exists the other end sent over "as it is", rather than to get something customized to the peer's needs.
>You adhere to the law of the jurisdiction you operate in.

I think this is the best, most succinct summation of the global free speech and privacy issue.

You're free to not really respect the privacy of others, provided you are in a jurisdiction that allows you to do so. This hypothetical jurisdiction however, would not be Europe.
In fact, since Common Lisp "source code" is NOT defined in terms of text but data structures (that happen to have standard serialization/deserialization) and that's the level that macros work on, you could theoretically even make semi-algolish syntax and still keep CL's macro system.

It would just look weird as fuck.
Then your job will be eaten up by those in other areas who will be willing to do that work for whatever their standard of living requires. Good luck in your future endeavors.
