It's partly an American culture problem. I'm sure the dating game in some other countries are a bit healthier than ours.

There's simply so many mixed signals now on what you are and are not allowed to do. Is it okay to go up and talk to a girl you think is cute anymore? No one is really sure. Depends on who you ask. Go up to the wrong girl and you might end up in jail or maybe shamed by her and her friends online somewhere for being creepy.

There's also the question about consent. Having to whip out a contract for the girl to sign, confirming her legal consent to have sex is not too attractive. Not to mention the fact she can take away her consent post-sex and then you become a rapist. Girls on average find the less consensual, proactive way more sexy, but that's not something anyone would admit. But that's a cultural taboo now, so yeah.

NeurIPS 2020 Goes Virtual
Your points just hit me directly. I consider myself pretty good with my problem solving skill and ability to learn. I feel like I am better as an IC than a manager. Yet, a few times, I got "convinced" into management role because whether manager left or they couldn't find people with enough knowledge for the position. I have always being able to say "nope".
I've been working for 10 years, same big tech company but I switched to different teams every 2 years within the same organization.

Recently, I got into a honest discussion with the senior leadership and basically said "I just want to be an IC and next step would be Principal Engineer". So, they set up a role for me to do "special" assignments: I would pick something I think I could improve either efficiency or accuracy or brand new initiative for the business need. I'm mostly doing reconnaissance works where I would go in and see if this is something feasible to do. Once, I get a proof of concept working, the next step is to get a team of engineers (or current project's team) to discuss and delegate. I have to say I really like this experience so far. It has a feeling like doing consultant works with one big client!
Why would anyone have 25k in a Paypal account ?
Genuinely curious. I never understood friends who keep 500-1000$ in their Venmo account. I empty it to my checking as soon as I have money in it.

Yeah good riddance, imagine FORCING someone to say _anything_. And you twitter clowns are the good guys? Hardly.
Great reply, thank you for sharing your perspective.

First, I confess to some skepticism of the standardization process. For example, consider ES2018 lookbehinds. At the point of standardization, only one browser implemented them: v8. And in the standardized form (arbitrary width) they are very difficult to retrofit onto existing engines. Moddable had to throw their engine out and start over [1]. JSC's YARR still doesn't support them, neither does SpiderMonkey. Did all stakeholders really agree on this feature and then not implement it? Or was this just v8 in the driver's seat?

Second, regexps actually do have a role in driving monoculture. You can't polyfill regexp syntax. At one point, Steam's website only worked on Chrome because only v8 implemented lookbehinds [2] - again because it's hard to retrofit.

Lastly, it remains a problem that one cannot implement a conforming JS regexp engine from the spec alone. The rest of JavaScript does not have that problem, only regexp. And I disagree with the "real websites depend on that behaviour" qualifier. No website depended on /{1}/ being invalid syntax, yet it was made so in ES8.

Incidentally, it's amusing that v8's Canonicalize was buggy. Non-Unicode case-insensitive char ranges is THE ugliest part of regexp (QuickJS doesn't even try [3]) and I just assumed it was codifying v8's implementation. Guess it was someone else's, hah.

> And, they could actually be right in the end, if by providing liquidity they help the company avoid onerous bailout loans, and covid lifts up sooner rather than later, they could end up with Hertz able to make a strong recovery.

I don't think you understand bankruptcy. Hertz is about to receive a $17 Billion handout, in the form of its loans being largely forgiven and/or reorganized through a process called "Chapter 11 Bankruptcy".

As part of "forgiving the debt", the shareholders get the stock set to $0. This is virtually inevitable, it almost always happens.

---------

The only winners here, are the banks. The banks (and other bondholders) will collectively get $1 Billion more before the debt is forgiven. As such, this move only helps the banks and bondholders.

--------

The $1 Billion here is peanuts compared to the $17 Billion in loans that the Hertz company obviously cannot pay in its current form. The shareholders are wiped out without the secondary offering... the shareholders are wiped out with the secondary offering. In both cases, the company will inevitably go bankrupt... but the shareholders are collectively $1 Billion poorer after this offering.

----------

I cannot imagine how the shareholders benefit from this. In both situations, the shareholders are going to be left with $0 in just a few months.

Every year, it becomes more and more obvious that Apple cares far greater for money and numbers than developers or customers. Any criticism thrown at the company goes into a void, they don't communicate about any issues or feedback, and they continue to take away useful features and replace them with either nothing, or something nobody asked for. I used to really like this company.

I'm a bit disappointed at articles like this, that IMO really don't reflect what I'm seeing...

What I'm seeing is a lot of internal discussions, a lot of people challenging execs, a lot of people changing their profile pictures, etc.

Politics are always going to be a dividing subject, and I find it quite remarkable that we are all able to debate about these topics, and are even encouraged to do so.
Sure, not everyone agree with some of the decisions the company is taking, but you gotta respect the transparency and the willingness to explain and discuss these decisions.

I don't think many companies would allow people to do this, and they would also probably get rid of people sharing too much.

“Thanks for letting me know how you feel about this, I consider this a valuable opinion and think deeply on it”.

Then go ahead and do whatever you were going to do anyway, but at least let them know you’ve heard and acknowledged what they had to say. Sometimes folks just want to be acknowledged, that doesn’t seem like too much of a burden.
How will you deal with charging? As far as I know connectivity has been a solved problem for over a decade now (on a small scale you could always just get a consumer SIM and use that), but power consumption is a problem. This is why Tile trackers for example use BLE tags and nearby phones instead of just embedding a SIM in their trackers.
That's how specs should work, when there is a feature nobody wants and nobody has implemented.

Is the history of that phrase commonly known? That long and detailed Wikipedia Article was only created after Trump said the phrase:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=When_the_looting_...
The premise is that government is bad at doing things — like, really really bad, with terribly wasteful spending and little ability to correct it. If the government pays $1B for a service and the private company can do it for $500M then they should be able to offer the services to the government for $750M, and both they and the taxpayers are better off.

Sometimes this works better than others, particularly when the government group who makes the contract are held politically accountable for the quality of the services — e.g. private sanitation services are only going to get so bad before someone runs for office on a "fix the trash" platform. The UK has likewise managed to do a not-entirely-trash-fire job with train franchises, where there are several operators who bid on the rights to operate; if the trains don't run, you can replace one operator with another at the end of the contract. The Southern debacle of recent years is a bit of an outlier (the contract design there was quite unfortunate) and the year of strikes and service outages led to political pressure to do something about the state of affairs.

Accountability is unfortunately rather absent for treatment-of-prisoner politics, though, so it's pretty much hit-or-miss just as regards the basic human dignity.

> It breaks autofill from a browser password manager extension

That is the benefit, just not for the user. The companies that started this trend were generally single sign-on providers that want you to sign in to everything with their account so you can be tracked everywhere on the web, services like 1Password make this unnecessary. The rest I think are just cargo-culting the big players.
There's a lot of arguments one way or another - but the killer deal-breaker for many of us is the feeling of being held hostage: once you stop paying subscription, you typically don't get to "keep last paid version" - you loose application, and any files, data or artifacts that you created with it or would open/manipulate with it :-/

The other aspect is just how well we each feel we can keep track of and be disciplined with dozens of subscriptions. I'm the other way around from you - I'd pay $5 for an app without blinking, even to "try it out"; but I hesitate to "commit" to $3 a year, let alone $3 a month, for something new.
I searched google and that brought up the FAQ, where it’s not explicitly stated. I expected it to be there so that prompted the question.

A Turing-complete language can, in theory and assuming no real-world limitations like RAM, do any computation. You can use Rust traits to compile Rust, or run a JVM instance, or whatever. Input and output are limited to what the compiler has access to, but you could perhaps have input as source files and output as text strings in a Rust binary.

That doesn't mean that the OP's hack can be used today, or even tomorrow for compiling-Rust-in-Rust. But you could, in theory, do so.

> A timeout seems pretty off-putting. The idea that compilation could fail on a weaker machine just because it isn't fast enough just doesn't sit right with me.

The timeout should be set based on what the user of the machine considers acceptable. Why should I have to tolerate a 2 hour wait time for a compile-time computation to finish in order for the auto-complete menu to appear on emacs just because I am using a laptop from 2010?

This is the world we're moving towards. People have been more outspoken in these past few years about demanding "hard conversations" from family and peers. This mindset taking root in the workforce is the logical next step. You can't shut it down or else you're "part of the problem." You can't ignore it and be silent or else you're "part of the problem."
I guess the legality is questionable (I'm definitely not a lawyer!) but mostly talking about the honesty of the company. Many startups today have a semi-standard "equally opportunity employer" but still have mostly on-site job postings for positions that 100% can be done remote (e.g. SW engineering).
I respectfully disagree. Flour is basically crushed wheat. Refined sugar is not crushed beet, and you would have to eat a lot of beet to eat the same amount of sugar that you eat in a typical "industrial food" diet.

I would not take paleo food as a reference, but rather look toward what our grandparents had for lunch when they were kids. I don't think they were doing so badly.

And I don't cook like Bocuse everyday, the five mother sauces are not intended to be eaten on a daily basis :-)
I have tried the same with their previous offering called "Programmable Wireless" and both voice support was lacking abroad and SMS had an issue where you can't send arbitrary caller IDs for SMSs sent to the SIM (so if you receive an SMS on a Twilio number but process it in your code before deciding whether to send it to a SIM, or receiving an SMS on a non-Twilio number).
If some of the 3+ people move to 2 and some of the 2s move to 1s or 0s, then you would see the same exact thing.

The data in the study you linked to its entirely consistent with what the OP suggested. We need to know what is happening at the tails to determine whether what you're claiming or what the OP is claiming is true. However, OP has a lot of anecdotal evidence in their favor. The study only provides data for the left tail of the distribution, but we need to see the right tail to know the full story. You could be right, but the OP's hypothesis is also supported by the data.
We already have laws for this. Look up what “anti trust” is. The real question you should be asking is “why are anti trust rules not functioning properly” or why aren’t they being applied for this generation?

That's a pretty thoughtless response.

In fact, in the white collar world at least, "moonlighting" is definitely frowned upon, and in many places still outright banned.

Hey, I'm the project creator! Just got tipped off to the thread by a friend. I absolutely think it deserves more interest than it's getting, too --- the motion control systems are so easily available at this point that 99% of the innovation is in software. Community participation could take it way way bigger than what I've managed to do so far.

I agree, the blu-ray players are what got me into it but it doesn't really make much sense for mass production. I've said that if the campaign picks I'll modify a small 3D printer instead (probably by EasyThreed, they have good prices and they've been friendly to talk to). But I still really want to get at least a few of the blu-ray classic model out there, especially if someone needs a system that's really small! I originally made it for use inside of an incubator, actually.

Thank you, I hope the Kickstarter will be a success too! I've made a bunch of changes in just the past few days, and I'm hoping Kickstarter might notice it and slap that "Joan's book club" sticker on it.

> The CS pros moving to Valorant are basically doing so because they either can't have a CS career (Brax, perma ban for match fixing; iBuyPower) or haven't been good enough in a while/never were good enough for a T1 CSGO team.

I think it is really early to use this as some sigil for how good the game is or how well it will do as an esport. Of course the first people to move are the ones outside of a current CS contract! Why would you give up your share of multi-million dollar prize pools while the other game is a week and a half old? it isn't necessarily an indictment of Valorant, its just the sensible business choice this early in the game.
Right, you had previous avenues, and you continue to as well. It's the contexts where someone could feel like their career success could be predicated on sexual capitulation that is increasingly off limits.

You can make a bad native app, but you can’t make a good Electron app.

Edit to add: Lots of people are mentioning Visual Studio Code. I agree it’s a good app in many dimensions; I didn’t mean to say that an Electron app can’t be good in some ways, even in the most important ways, but rather that Electron introduces flaws that prevent the app from being good in all ways. In particular, while faster than most Electron apps it’s still sluggish on old devices. It still loses track of files when renamed unless you do the rename through Visual Studio Code. The UI elements aren’t as polished as native let alone consistent with it, settings aren’t synced and backed up to iCloud, system-wide keyboard settings aren’t obeyed, Quick Look previews aren’t provided, etc. All of these problems were either introduced by Electron or made more difficult by it.
I have never seen any statistical data on PayPal's screw ups. All I ever see are anecdotes about a terrible thing that happened to someone or someone they know.
