Quit men quit. One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.

If you are a Facebook/WhatsApp/Instagram employee, you must know by now that these companies won't change by inside forces. If you work in these companies, you are an accomplice of everything of bad that is happening in the world: from climate change apologists, the destruction of Amazon by Brazil's government, the killing of black people by American police.

Quit. Now.
Yup, you can hear similar argument from meat eaters.
Re: ISR priorities. I agree with you somewhat. Technology is always changing. Many architectures don't have a rich interrupt controller. A system built to take advantage of the Cortex-M NVIC will have different characteristics than one that doesn't.

For those who are unaware, the NVIC effectively turns the interrupt handling system into a hardware-based FIFO strict realtime task scheduler. The only hard limit is that since all of the tasks are executed on the same stack frame that you need an interrupt stack large enough for the maximum nesting depth. You can safely do much more work in an interrupt handler with such a system than you can in a classical non-nested interrupt-handling system.

I thought that was accepted fact at this stage.

I didn’t specify a program to use, but I did not know this. A step in my personal workflow I neglected to state is to flatten all layers but I’m not sure what the best way is, so I’ll just say I am open to ideas for better ways.

There should be a test suite for image editing applications which will validate the different ways of editing a file to see which ones work as expected and which do not. I’m thinking something similar to web standards test for browsers. Does something like this already exist?
> Imagine discriminating based upon the employees work history.

Seriously? That's pretty much the whole point of a resume, for an employer to discriminate based on work and education history.

It sounds weird when said in a negative way, but it makes all the sense in the world when you think of it "positively", like "of course companies should prefer to hire someone that worked at a top company or graduated from a top school".

I don’t like Trump, but I can’t exactly fault Trump for twitter because he found a way to side step a media that dislikes him (justified or not).

Try to put yourself in his shoes, you would absolutely use an effective tool that the people you didn’t trust to deliver your message had no control over.

And the lady doth protest too much when it comes to the media talking about Trump Tweets. They love it, free programming for an hour or two.
I am going to go against other answers and say that legally OR morally you don't need to acknowledge the author if you don't want to. But that wasn't the issue here at all, the issue was Microsoft interviewing the candidate (to pick up his brain?), then ghosting him, THEN copying his solution. It's about how they treated the original author, not about just copying the solution.
Probably not easily, since most of the mainstream press have been spinning whatever the EU demands as a normal, inevitable part of making a trade deal. You basically have to pay attention to what other trade deals are like, what's in the deal and isn't mentioned in the news coverage...
Thanks Chandra for the post.

Hey Community - Please share any thoughts you might have in our journey. Eager to hear your views..
See my other reply on this same thread. I would never work for Philip Morris in the same way I would never work for FB.

This mentality is extremely dangerous because it cuts both ways: imagine companies discriminating against employees because they believe abortion is a right, or because they are strong 2A supporters or detractors.

If we go down this path, we _all_ end up losers. Attacking the employees is really not the way to go, in the end, they are the ones with the least leverage to influence anything.
Of course we don't want to deal with poverty. We just want it as a scapegoat.
Taking the dude's work that he licensed them to take (via Apache 2.0) is one thing. Giving him false hope about a future job prospect is another.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_killings_by_law_enforc...
it appears that encounter-killings occur almost 30 times more frequently in the US than in India.

Indian encounter-killings occur at rates similar to German or Taiwanese. US encounter-killings occur at rates similar to Pakistani or Rwandese.
Man, this is triggering more memories of programming in Basic. I remember writing programs in BASIC (as a kid/teen, mind you) where I didn't plan enough for changes and had to renumber swaths of code to allow more functionality. I was so happy to learn Pascal.
We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us who scorched the sky.
It doesn't only chill speech, it indicates that a decision about whether to let the person into the country will be based on their speech. Speech isn't "free" if the government is going to punish you for it.
Although I'm sure you have good intentions, handing money to people after you make a mistake isn't always the best way to make amends (or to incentivize people).

Rep. Justin Amash, at least, appears to agree with you (and has proposed an act to make it clear that QI is not a defense). So for now, pending further SCOTUS decisions, I concede that I'm wrong, and that it would be possible to change this via legislation. I apologize for any confusion.
If you do a chargeback, I would definitely download all Google data you care about first. Is it just your emails, or is your business inextricably tied to Google in some way (an Android app perhaps)? If you can migrate away, I would just do that. Google has a terrible track record in this department.

“casual gaming giant”—I did actually lol at that description of Zynga.
Except in California, oddly enough.
But why? From my very limited knowledge on this, it seems everyone is saying that a no-deal crash out will be bad economically. So is it just ideology (dare I say dogmatism) from the Johnson government at this point?
Good point - wondering if open source projects that copy commercial products should be liable for copyright infringement.

What an obtuse viewpoint. It's not just about you. Misinformation actively harms society as a whole. Anti-vax, fake remedies, Holocaust-denials, etc. The people taken in by such lies propagate damage beyond their immediate circles.
Changes to How We Manage DefinitelyTyped
This was the case when I was poking at Hacker News. I think it may still be the case to some extent.

Here's an example of an HN password reset link:

hxxps://news.ycombinator.com/x?fnid=<long-random-value>&fnop=passwd-reset

`fnid` identifies a closure. Presumably there's a hashmap of `fnid` values to closures in memory.

It used to be that this was how any action on the site was represented. I poked around for a minute though, and it's evidently not the case for upvotes any more:

hxxps://news.ycombinator.com/vote?id=<integer>&how=up&auth=<long-random-value>&goto=<return-url>
Except that those communities are willing to pay for software.

Announce any "evil proprietary" software in places like HN, which should be about doing business to start with, and the top comments happen to be about forking, making FOSS clones and not paying a dime to evil overloards.

Qt being discussed here is a very good example, tons of comments on how not to pay Qt, switch to alternatives, and how much evil they are for wanting remuneration for their work.

Naturally companies then turn into the Apple, Google and Microsoft customer communities instead.
I had to get the first job I could, had no time for internships nor networking, and had no role models or guidance on how to succeed financially. Lack of a support system made any kind of time investment very hard financially as bills and hungry mouths don’t like to wait. Had I less financial responsibilities, I could have taken a lower paying but higher potential job.

The longer version: had a kid at 15. Lived in the middle of nowhere (which I love[d]) and finding ways to earn money was hard. Grew up poor. I graduated high school towards the top academically and got a full tuition scholarship to a university. My girlfriend and shortly thereafter wife (we got married shortly after high school and moved into our own place in town) had to graduate high school a year late. She did most of the supporting of our young family waitressing while I did some student work at the university. One gig was working PHP with a buddy making about minimum wage at night. Eventually got a BS in business admin with a minor in CS. Worked in insurance first because it hired immediately. I had looked into tech, but at the time, pay was not very good and required moving to a population center. Turned out with insurance, I could not earn enough fast enough (it takes time to build a book of business) so I started at a potentially higher paying role in financial services and washed out. Did odd construction work as I got a teaching credential. The pay still sucked. We were not even scraping by: every month we even further negative in our bank account. The only things that helped were the occasional website or utility I built for someone and the hope that after several years of teaching that our base salary would finally exceed our meager living. Got cut from my district during the layoffs. Toss in a couple more kids along the way. I put out two resumes: one for teaching and one for programming based on the work I did as a student and the few websites and utilities I made. A recruiter reached out and I got some tech interviews. Landed a sweet start up gig at nearly 2x what I was making as a teacher. This was the first time ever that we could start really saving, but the majority was going to paying off debts. The commute was about 40 minutes, the same as when I taught. Then the office moved further. Then again. Then again. The commute was 2.5 hours one way at that point. Then I went fully remote. Nearly a decade later and Im still with that same company. I out-earn what I ever could have as a teacher, principal, or super intendant. I’ve grown with the company from a couple dozen folks through hundreds of hires, an eventual IPO, through acquisition of a couple smaller companies and through being acquired. I am now a principal engineer and team lead for our part of a multi-thousand person, global company. I’ve enjoyed nearly everyday of work since being hired and wouldn’t have it any other way.

A rough start. But opportunity met preparation and we were lucky.
I think that depends on how you use react. When I first started using it to replace jQuery, it resulted in different use patterns than when making a greenfield SPA. I just wanted something easier to maintain and it did that in spades.

React was an easy drop-in replacement. No state library or whatever else (there weren't a ton of libraries at that time). Just add React CDN, code up some simple components and add them to the page (they'd get a list of elements with the correct classname and inject one copy for each element).

Today, I still take a similar approach for the occasional CRUD site I work with. The only change is that now I use the much smaller pReact and use functional components with hooks instead of the old React.createClass() from the early days.
Ah yes, the twin rebuttals of, "it's worse somewhere else, so workers shouldn't complain" and "it's not their problem to care about systemic issues".

No matter how bad it is elsewhere, Facebook employees have the right to try and improve their workplace.

> From what I remember the terms set by the EU would've put the UK in a worse position than what caused Brexit in the first place

They don't have to be better than what caused the Brexit, they have to be better than a no-deal Brexit. Why would they expect to get better treatment by leaving than by staying?
Most people I know that work there still either:

1) Have little concern about the ethics.
2) Care about money.
3) Feel smart and important for working there (I'm smart, I made it).

This won't change their view on those things.
Ubuntu HWE?
Just take a look at the EU's fisheries position which is basically the status quo as if the UK had never left the EU.

Which is crazy; either the UK has left the EU and so cannot enjoy the same market access as a member, and the EU correspondingly has reduced access to UK market, or else there is full access for both parties.

Shame culture is very poisonous, it turns people with good intentions into the exact opposite.
yeah Nitrous Oxide is the oxidizer of choice for hobbyists. It gets used in hybrid rockets and there is/was a couple companies making hybrid rockets available for sale.

Making a tank that's light enough to fly but does not turn into a pipe bomb is _one_ of the hard parts. Also, ignition is and fueling is difficult. iirc Tripoli requires remote fill on hybrid rockets and since a lot of these experimental engines are flown in the desert at FAR (https://friendsofamateurrocketry.org/) temp. becomes an issue.

people are doing it though, i mean it's really impressive to see how far amateurs can push things. We may see the first individual reach the Karman Line this September at BALLS if Covid19 doesn't get in the way. A couple of college teams have done it but not just a random guy. Granted, the guy I'm betting on is very well known in the hobby and not "random" at all.
Is Twitter banning anyone who wears a Republican T-shirt? Or is Twitter marking false information as false while hiding (not deleting, hiding behind a button) a statement which looks suspiciously like a literal calls to arms to suppress a group which is upset because its members are being murdered without due process or due cause and the murders are getting away with it despite video evidence? Oh, and some people in the same gang as the killers are shooting journalists in the face and arresting other journalists live on TV.

(I have no idea what or where “Six Flags” is. I’m not American.)
It's not that it's crazy - it's an effective way to accomplish your goals. They're just very toxic and socially harmful goals. It's a huge problem if the industry ends up partitioned into Democratic Tech and Republican Tech.
If we want to treat everyone equally then people can not talk about using the military on such platforms. It is hard to get more clear case of glorifying violence than a person holding an army and talking about using it against people. Any speech glorifying war, talking about killing people in a positive light, or deploying people to kill other people, would be banned from those platforms.

But people want exceptions for when such violence feel good, and do not want it when it feel bad. Its similar to how some research (data however is disputed) that in warrior cultures, warriors who has killed in battle have more offspring than non-killers. There are good books on the subject of the love-hate relation humans have with violence.
You did the right thing, the source article just has a dreadful title.
Sounds like you are high on power, forcing your own subjective morals on others, thinking you can change their morals and the way they think just like that with silly threats of bans. This is not how people work. They can't get much out of it, except form their own opinion of you, the moderator. You think of them as sexist assholes, they will think of you as an SJW asshole.
Exactly. The people who really want to can, but the issue with social media is how it amplifies messages that people only casually encounter. Measures like these don't block those who are intent, but they hamper that mass, wildfire-like impact.
By Congress.
This is an understanding that goes a little too far into adulthood for some.

100% exactly. They aren’t under a requirement - but absolutely should. And the people that dislike Trump the most should be demanding for free speech for everyone regardless of how “wrong” they are because it’s the mechanism that protects the Democracy long term.

Instead, I see a lot of people that want to just make the bad man who said the mean things go away, and look to our SiliconValley Overlords to make that happen.
I've tried Jekyll, Gatsby and Hugo recently. I think Hugo is the easiest to install and get up & running with a minimum of complexity.
> For example, while Valhalla has taken several years so far, OpenJDK team has experimental builds that you can go and play around with value types in Java.

Actually Valhalla is pretty interesting to think about. For what I'm currently working on, the inability to have a list of points without individually heap-allocating each one makes a language much more of a non-starter than the lack of user-defined parameterized types does.

Even back when Java was invented, there was plenty of prior art (going back decades) about efficiently representing a list of points in memory. Probably most of its predecessors could do it. Yet Java has lacked this basic ability for 25 years.

I even expect that when they eventually implement it it will work similarly to other popular languages, compared to Go which seems to be drawing on more recent developments (like concepts etc) for its generics design.

Despite this, I don't accuse the Java team of political machinations every time the topic comes up. Mainly because I don't believe that to be the case. Maybe they've prioritized a critical feature for me lower than I would like, but it seems like a substantial amount of work to implement because (like generics) it interacts with other language features in a complex way and (like generics) once they ship a design they will be stuck keeping backwards compatibility with it basically forever, so they only have one chance to get it right.
Facebook employees revolt over Zuckerberg’s stance on Trump
UK knows it won't end well either way. But if the talks fail it'll be drastic enough to blame the EU for everything. Same people voted for Brexit will buy that too.
Exactly. So Twitter says its violent and Facebook doesn't.
To add another dimension, people who draw swastikas and claim it’s not bad because “we didn’t mean it _that_ way”.
Likely due to the large number of armed suspects in the USA by comparison. Private gun ownership is practically illegal in India.
>Start censoring, editorializing etc. and section 230 protections will be gutted.

If you mean they'll stop applying to Facebook, I don't think that's true.

If you mean 230 will be repealed, then the pessimist in me is willing to believe it. But the realist in me knows the consequences will quickly lead to a new law much like 230.

>On top of that anti-trust investigations intensify, rightfully, because you have not concentrated too much power into an un-regulated, un-elected platform vs the elected government which is against the interest of the country as a whole.

Facebook's either too big or it's not. The problem would be if it could unilaterally control public opinion. We shouldn't allow unregulated monopolies just because they happen to not anger us today.
Both are long term bad for your health but you love the small dopamine fix.
What an obnoxious strawman you're holding up. If you're not sending political manifestors on the company's listserv you're probably fine. There are right-leaning people at every company. Even facebook. Especially facebook.
Microsoft didn’t copy app get and that’s part of the problem. Had they made a fork then credit would be clear.
social skills are one part of a bigger whole - communication.

Looking back, two classes that I should have doubled down on at school are: written and oral communication.

Think of it as a multiplier for the skills of your tech tree.
Then work on stopping people in India from being violent? Treating human beings like mindless automatons is not the right way forward.
A mix of tactics and politics.

While Brexit is bad economically, the political argument is different.
