I don't know if you could say school teachers are doing it to make money.

Facebook and Google are advertising companies primarily. They will be taking money from advertisers for nearly anything that isn't in their TOS. I'm sure most employees would object to something in that list not lining up with their personal beliefs.

The concept that your employer should conform to your ideas around politics or the environment seems to only happen in SV.

One qualifying segment is the rarer over performing subset of Dunning-Kruger personalities. That is people who accurately measure their own performance but do not accurately measure their peers and thus improperly devalue themselves in comparison. To compensate for that improper devaluation these people will attempt to over perform in an effort to feel comparable.

Under that condition it is anticipated these people will take criticism and risks with a greater degree of personal sensitivity.
Ask HN: Ethics in Software Development
Hi,

I'm a long time HN lurker and I wanted to let you guys know what I have been dealing with.

I have been a programmer for 10+ years and I have take pride in every code I write. I learn from my peers and try my best to share my knowledge and wisdom.

My manager asked me to write something that breaks the trust of our users. Creating fault charts and data. It breaks my heart to the core. Straight up lying about the technology and things we can do. I love programming and writing cool shit! I want build something that matters and not FAKE IT.

I don't know how I want to deal with this situation. All I want to do is the create something for my users that they really love and enjoy.

Thanks HN.

If this functionality was demoed by Apple on a new $999 "MacPad Pro" there would be arguments over if it was the end of the PC and the beginning of the next generation of computing, a leap like the smartphone revolution.

You are conflating “aware of” with “considering in their decision making” (that is, you are assuming rationality-but-for-limited-information).

That's a nice idealized model of human decision-making except for that it's not even approximately how people actually make decisions.

For some reason your most recent comment is dead, and I cannot reply to it, so I'll reply here.

It looks like the funding did cover the WIV research, from what I understand the article to say.

"The NIH research consisted of two parts. The first part began in 2014 and involved surveillance of bat coronaviruses, and had a budget of $3.7 million. The program funded Shi Zheng-Li, a virologist at the Wuhan lab, and other researchers to investigate and catalogue bat coronaviruses in the wild. This part of the project was completed in 2019."

Here's the 2015 paper co-authored by Zheng-Li Shi detailing a chimeric coronavirus that uses the SARS backbone to target ACE2, very similar to how covid-19 operates.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4797993/

"Using the SARS-CoV reverse genetics system2, we generated and characterized a chimeric virus expressing the spike of bat coronavirus SHC014 in a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV backbone. The results indicate that group 2b viruses encoding the SHC014 spike in a wild-type backbone can efficiently use multiple orthologs of the SARS receptor human angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2), replicate efficiently in primary human airway cells and achieve in vitro titers equivalent to epidemic strains of SARS-CoV."

It makes me confused regarding the recent debunking article that claims there is no way humans can have engineered the covid-19 spike that targets ACE2, and there is no known backbone used in the covid-19 genome. Seems in contradiction to this 2015 paper.
Just a former student who participated in the first version (let's say draft) of it, which had no really interesting algorithms in it yet, just the overall graph framework and integration with the rest of PGF/TikZ.

Really cool project though, one of the few that made it outside of uni.

Shutup10 also does not allow completely disable telemetry. Moreover, it has more than half of useless settings that have nothing to do with privacy. Shutup10

Btw only one WPD feature "blocker" can completely cut off IP telemetry addresses. This is much more effective than any settings.

Does the NC span the gap between AWS and Amazon? It should be pointed out that AWS is a different company than Amazon, with a different CEO, corporate structure, etc. They roll up to Amazon but I'm not sure if the NC will span that gap. So maybe really identifying the bounds of where the NC can apply would be helpful.

But to your point if it does that's just down right dangerous. Amazon competes with just about everyone either directly or indirectly.

I want to tell you something that is probably not what you are looking for, but I can almost guarantee that it is the most important thing by a long shot.

1. Find the right life partner. This is, by far, the most important factor to your success and happiness in life, and you are not going anywhere great until that is settled. Right now you get your affirmation and correction from your job. A good partner will fix that. A bad partner will ruin you to a point you will not recognize yourself. Eventually everyone ends up with someone, good or bad. Make this your top priority. Focus on it now. Do not wait.

2. Find god. Not necessarily religion. Belief in yourself is not enough. You have to find your assignment from an authority greater than yourself, and greater than the love or hatred of every being on earth. It has to be greater than greed or pain or lust or pride. This will come slowly.

3. Be simple. Be frugal. Reduce your needs. Spend less. Have few possessions. Don’t take on debt or long leases. Know exactly what you need for the rest of your life, save it, and don’t take risks on it.

4. If you have anything above what you need for the rest of your life. Be ready to take massive investment risks with it, and jump on anything that you feel in your heart for, especially yourself.

musicians are the ultimate cross-pollinators .. someone, somewhere will inevitably get a creative buzz from listening to something solid from somwhere else.. its not a bad thing, entirely.. different strokes for different folks .. Think about "guitars", except over the centuries.. is it a technical copying that makes the music sound the same, since it is a stringed instrument, like those other ones ? hmm It certainly could be argued that pace of interaction can lead to loss of diversity.. isolated people dont copy music styles.. big topic !
Don't work at amazon, because of non-competes. These almost always getting dismissed - they are only to intimidate employees from leaving. There are other reasons to work or not-work at a company, but this one is pretty clear, amazon uses them for intimidation. In Wa state, google, microsoft, facebook etc hasn't enforced them in my experience at all like amazon.

> Does anyone else begin to feel like their role as a software developer is to maintain a mental search index of available techniques, languages, libraries, and metadata properties about each of them?

Yup. Every highly paid professional is highly paid for their knowledge and expertise. They need to be aware of all the relevant solutions, and the best way to apply them.

Top lawyers know about law, top doctors know about medicine, and they farm out the work to their less-highly paid nurses and paralegals.

When you reach the top of your field your main value is knowing what's out there and how to implement it, making sure more junior employees don't make mistakes along the way. (That is, if you stay on the IC track and don't go into management.)

Please forgive the confusion, as I've only dabbled in Make, but...

> You can do that also with redo, just delete all the intermediate files and start a normal build.

...isn't that pretty much what "make clean" generally does? I mean, in a project of any significant size, "all the intermediate files" aren't going to be trivial to delete without a pre-built "delete all the intermediate files" script...which is what "make clean" is (at least partly) for.

Or are you just saying that "redo" (which I'd never heard of before, so, again, please forgive my ignorance) can also process a pre-built list of "intermediate files" to delete with some particular command or option...?

Yeah that was one of the things that poked me in the eye.
Not really.

As I thought I'd alluded to in the above, when I was using PHP "in anger" as it were, there were 3 options for dynamic content:

1) Write a C program, and use the GCI-BIN interface. In developmental terms, this sucked dead bunnies through thin straws

2) Use some god-awful server-side script thing, updating static files with externally-invoked changes. Yes, people resorted to this.

3) Use PHP/FI. Life is now harmonious and (relatively) pain-free.

There was Cold Fusion, but it was Windows-only. The sane world, at the time, wouldn't serve websites on windows software unless there was a dedicated uptime team involved.

One of these was clearly the better solution. For things it didn't do, it was easy to extend (I wrote the PHP database support for Illustra, a now-defunct object-orientated database that we used)

These days I use it for shell-scripts, and I can bash out something that I need/want in much shorter time (basically because of the enormous standard library) than using any of the other options. My criterion here is "a text editor and 10 minutes"... There are some, very modern, languages that it takes 10 minutes to spin up the IDE and set up the damn project...
Yes, that's correct. In his case, specific quotes were selectively disclosed and context on his overall point (whether you agree with it or not) was completely lost in the process.

Most modern successful comedians are not known for one-liners. Selectively quoting through text/audio/video effectively reduces all comedians' material to one-liners and completely eliminates all the nuance and context of the original performance piece.

> When people say that free will exists, they're saying that there is coherent notion of control over one's actions that grounds moral responsibility.

My top level post very much says the same thing, I agree.

However, that definition has little to nothing to do with randomness or determinism is very much a mystery to me. When I say "formalized" free will here, I understand that there's much debate on definition, as I exactly said in the post about begging the question of definition. However, the content of these and other free will arguments show that the one many approach is not the one you just supplied. I think both definitions have importance, but the existence of each has different implications.

You seem to have the issue opposite of many formalized philosophers - getting stuck on definition, but on the "practical" one. We're in agreement on that one but using different words. But you're writing off the importance of the "formal", or at least the one this writing implies.
You do the same with fp. First floating point instruction traps and the process is then flagged as needing fp. This is then used in the context switch to also include fp instructions.

The advantage is you avoid storing fp registers unless you are going to use them.

That flag could easily determine what you can run where.

Looking at US incarceration data over time, the causes are plainly obvious. Mass incarceration began shortly after the civil rights movement was ended, when Nixon launched the War on Drugs in 1971, and then skyrocketed in the 80s as even harsher bipartisan anti drug laws were passed while at the same time the CIA was found to be facilitating the importation of billions of dollars of cocaine into inner cities at the inception point of the crack epidemic.

It is probably a regional humor thing but with so much mobility these days it's hard to use your regional humor without offending people.

In some places you can ask "Are you smoking crack?" when someone suggests something silly or wrong. In other places that would be very wrong.

In some places certain words are insults and other places they're euphemisms.

Some places tolerate or encourage "harmless" sexual innuendo, others do not.

I have had employees that would appreciate a joke about performance or firing so long as it was obvious that it wasn't a veiled threat. I've had employees who that would probably have them working on finding another job. I'm not the type to joke about that, but I know who would appreciate it and who wouldn't.

Edit: typo
Very interesting! I've been looking for cheap wall-mountable touchscreens so I can have permanent, single-purpose interfaces and displays. For example, I have a KanbanFlow board to track my work, and I use an old tablet mounted to the wall next to my standing desk.

When thinking about non-compete agreements imagine the same happening to football/baseball/basketball players.

Would that make senses? Of course not.
But when were they dishonored or disrespected?
A VP at Amazon is likely making seven figures, has a hand in directing decisions about high-level strategy, and has access to highly sensitive revenue data. If all of that is the case here, then I actually think a non-compete is reasonable.

That said, non-competes without 100% garden pay during the term should be unenforceable. Also, trying to enforce a blatantly unenforcable non-competes should have criminal penalties.
I think you're being too harsh on people. It is of course used at a surface level, but most people at least mean something when they say it. Everyone can of course mean something different too, but I think the definition I gave fits a vast majority of uses.

There is a (relatively) common API: machine language.

Is that too architecture-specific? You could force all programming languages compile down to Java byte code, but that would be too restrictive. Not everyone wants to be bound by byte code.

You could create a language that aims to accomplish what you describe, but then you'd just have yet another programming language. (Insert relevant XKCD here.)

And humans either aren't smart enough to create a perfectly flexible language without warts that would work for people doing dramatically different things, or there are too many tradeoffs for those people to share the same den. Someone who has thought more about the philosophy of programming languages probably could answer that better than I could.
I'd say that Symfony reads like Java, whereas Laravel reads like a weird copy of Rails.
Don't be an asshole. Don't abuse your power.

My personal hypothesis is that Linux users love to sabotage themselves. If the Linux model doesn't have exactly the specs they want at a cheaper price, they buy the Windows model and install Linux themselves. Since nothing will ever be good enough, manufacturers don't bother.

There IS NO justification for LE to use this stuff, as their charter in the case of protests is about maintaining peace and de-escalating any confrontational violence that may occur.

The very notion of being a force confronting/opposed to protesters is WRONG, as they should be de-escalating things, and THIS is the greater issue.
LE is waging war upon protesters instead of providing security services.

I prefer not to try and push everything down and bury it. I've definitely thought about what life would be like if I got divorced, just like I've daydreamed about what my life would be like if I didn't have kids. That doesn't mean I'm going to 'go out for some cigarettes'.

I don't think that I need to hack my psyche to ensure I don't accidentally trick myself into wanting divorce.

But my initial point stands. If you don't want to joke about divorce with your wife, then don't. My issue is with stating it as fact that other people shouldn't either.
Hit and run management. Suggest to your engineers how to do things and then disengage, leaving them to follow your directive, while knowing that you are dead wrong.

Twitter had to scrap their entire rewrite that took one year, because the dev manager told the team HOW to do it, triggering a death march project.

Bottom line: if you don't trust the people who are down in the trenches to make technical decisions, be a manager at Chipotle. But probably goes for Chipotle as well.
