Afaik Joyce is usually listed in the first dozen when talking about modernist writers. For myself, I explain this as: modernism being sorta the culmination of linear progress in laying out narratives, and literature's attempt at self-analysis in the context of this grand tradition with picking out techniques that are useful and ones that are decorative; the last phase before 20th century's all-out deconstruction and nonlinear mindgames. Joyce IMO utilized pretty much every technique he could think of and juggle, in ‘Ulysses’. Though frankly, by the same token ‘Ulysses’ could be just as well considered among post-WW2 postmodernism, so dunno.

I could be totally wrong, however, and led astray by architecture, graphic and industrial design where ‘modernism’ is rather straightforward.

Reproducible Builds with Nix
If that were true, and given the huge amount of opposition that DACA faces from well funded political foes, wouldn't there have been a successful legal challenge against DACA at some point, prior to Trump's incompetent attempts? If it was as easy to shoot down as Trump's challenge, I would be shocked that nobody had done it yet.
> When it comes to engineers, the key to employee retention isn't just about pay.

Maybe I’m atypical, but at a certain point all the other factors just don’t cut it. If you’re trying to pay me $400k/yr total comp and I can get $600k/yr elsewhere, the disparities in culture or whatever have to be pretty significant to dominate.
Odd fact: in Finnish the word for slave is "orja" - which comes from thousands of years in the history, from the name for the tribe of Indo-Europeans - also known as Aryans nowadays. Finnish is not an Indo-European language of course.

So maybe it's quite universal that it's actually just some neighboring tribe.
Isn’t that what he’s saying?
Definitely agree with the latter part here about execs, but I feel like anxiety around compensation doesn't tie back to material needs as much as to the extent to which people measure their self-worth by compensation.

Years ago, these studies were going around saying that people are happier when they make more money up to about $70k, at which point more money doesn't make you happier anymore. I'm sure that has to be adjusted for inflation etc by now, but very few devs make less money than they need to live comfortably by most people's standards.
It's seems way different, but i guess in spirit they are.

Also, the stereotypes associated with both:

Sure. The code's up on my site [0].

Please note that I'm a beginner programmer, so the code probably looks really ugly to professional devs. I plan on refactoring the code once I get more advanced in programming.

I don’t now that it’s specifically better to have a CEO that was an engineer. It probably is based on my experience.

What I’m referring to is that period where engineers want to stay vs being heavily comp’d to stay. You can see people throughout this thread saying pay me a large amount and I’ll stare at a wall. If you want engineers not to fully optimize comp (read as $$$$$) against the market they need to feel represented and like they have a say in day to day decisions in the company.
Also, for many people, their salary out of school isn't "enough" for the lifestyle they want to live, they have student loans, need to buy a car, etc. So even relatively modest salary differences can seem like a big deal.

While not true of everyone, people in tech fields tend to have a more comfortable financial cushion as they get older, and at least modest differences in pay don't matter as much as other factors.
Great collection of propaganda bull*t, bro.

Is it Nemtsov "an audacious opposition" in your opinion? As much as I don't like the Putin rule, Nemtsov popularity was really minor to influence anything. If anything it was the "non-systematic opposition" who won most from his death.

If you pay me a lot but my job makes me miserable, I'll just use that salary as leverage to negotiate a high salary at a company I want to work for.
> Also, at certain screen sizes, 1:1 scaling is just impractical due to limitations of the human eye.

Scaling isn't even relevant. It makes sense to talk about scaling pixel artifacts, but not vectors one. The font is 8pt or 20pt, you can configure that on your own. 1:1 scaling is just some arbitrary and artificial fixed pixel/letter seen.

A 24" 4K screen (basically a 24" imac) had text the same size as a pre-retina 24" imac, they just used more pixels to render that text.
I cannot stress this advice enough. I have ADHD so a healthy routine seemed like anathema to me and it felt like my entire soul would resist it at every turn.

Once I started getting up early at the same time every day, everything else flowed from that positive momentum. I get up meditate, eat, lift weights, then bike to work by 8. I, can crush work all day and I carry that positive momentum all the way till I go to sleep and accomplish many things after work. I have tamed that procrastinating distraction monkey on my back into a tenacious omnipresent will for self improvement.

We're calling markov chains AI now?

Only the lyrics have been generated. Everything else you hear is just the musician, trying their best to sound like nirvana. No AI wizardry involved.

The lyrics sound less like an unreleased nirvana song, and more like a cut up of their previous songs. Which is to be expected when you feed a relatively small corpus of lyrics into a markov generator.

I get that this is just supposed to be fun. My point is that the title is misleading.

My experience is very anecdotal, but there's a point where the pay/stock options are definitely enough to keep people around. I have a few friends in this exact position now, where the golden handcuffs are too sweet for them to walk.
Ultimately what we really need is micro-led. But that seems to be difficult.
I don't know. It's possible that the justification for the creation of DACA was just as deficient as that for its repeal but that no one ever bothered to challenge it in court. I don't know the history. But given how rabid Republicans have been at challenging everything else Barack Obama ever did, that seems improbable to me.
Reinsurance is a method to pool insurance resources so that a smaller insurance company can assert the ability to cover a hundred billion dollar claim to begin with. It doesn't solve the time value of money issue, it only moves it around.

Carrying that amount of insurance is prohibitively expensive independent of the risk. Require the oil companies to carry enough insurance on every well to cover a claim the size of Deepwater Horizon and see how fast it destroys them.

Light-activated 'CRISPR' triggers precision gene editing and super-fast repair
The article's title is pure click-bait. It would be more accurate if it were "How to Keep Your Engineers Interested in Sticking Around"

Very little of the article says anything about how much to pay engineers. I only found 2 paragraphs about engineering compensation:

> The most comprehensive study, though, is Daniel H. Pink’s Drive, which is summarized in this animation from the RSA. Pink suggests that money isn’t the main driver for highly skilled workers who choose to stay in their jobs. Instead, he identifies a combination of three factors: the ability to be self-directed, getting better at the job, and having a purpose in one’s endeavors. In other words, once a person’s basic financial needs are met, money starts to become less and less relevant as a criterion for job satisfaction, especially compared to purpose, self-improvement and self-direction.

> Unsurprisingly, this conclusion mostly matches my own experience with engineers. Whether companies pay at market level or 20%-30% above market makes very little impact on staff retention. You might stretch retention slightly in the latter case, but the investment is often not worth the net result. Keeping your engineers engaged and motivated makes a much more substantial difference, so that’s what we’re going to look at next.

Even these paragraphs are primarily about how money is not the primary way to keep engineers engaged and motivated.

For most of America, there’s no way anyone would be willing to upgrade something at their own expense when the landlord can simply say “scoot along now” when the lease expires.

If anything, being to stay or move whenever I want is reason enough to purchase. When times are good they’ll raise the rent. When times are bad you’re on your own.
> what's weird is that the Obama administration didn't 'dot their Is and cross their Ts' either

This decision explicitly says otherwise; that they created a specific program with specific requirements that follow the APA's rules.

> Based on this directive, USCIS solicited applications from eligible aliens, instituted a standardized review process,and sent formal notices indicating whether the alien would receive the two-year forbearance. These proceedings are effectively “adjudicat[ions].”

> In short, the DACA Memorandum does not announce a passive non-enforcement policy; it created a program for conferring affirmative immigration relief.The creation of that program—and its rescission—is an “action [that] provides a focus for judicial review.” Id., at 832. The benefits attendant to deferred action provide further confirmation that DACA is more than simply a non-enforcement policy. As described above, by virtue of receiving deferred action, the 700,000 DACA recipients may request work authorization and are eligible for Social Secu-rity and Medicare. See supra, at 3. Unlike an agency’s refusal to take requested enforcement action, access to these types of benefits is an interest “courts often are called upon to protect.” Chaney, 470 U. S., at 832. See also Barnhart v. Thomas, 540 U. S. 20 (2003) (reviewing eligibility determination for Social Security benefits).
I would add to your statement

>If you advertise a rule and don't enforce it, you in-effect reward people who transgress the rule... and when why you are surrounded by jerks

that transgressing the rule needs to provide some sort of competitive advantage for the selection to work. Some people may transgress a dress code but I am doubtful that sort of thing will actively help them in the workplace.

It may be in a culture lacking enforcement of minor rules results in more people feeling free to transgress rules that actively benefit them, but that is a second order effect.
Centenarian study suggests living environment may be key to longevity
That's right. I tend to negotiate less on the initial lease and negotiate more on its renewal as we prove that we are a valuable tenant (paying on time, low interaction, ...).

Even when we lived in SF, where negotiations were almost impossible as they would have filled the unit within a week, they still were willing to do something in order to retain us.
I have a friend that is a minor celebrity and has controversial opinions and thus has been sued a lot (mostly frivolous, one or two semi-legit) and he will straight up tell you: the winner is the person with the most money.

If one party has deep pockets and the other does not, the rich guy wins. He can drag things out in court forever making it cost more than the small guy has to keep going. In the end so much is subjective anyway, and the high priced lawyers will get their way.
Are Your Timeline Expectations Sensible for Your Software Project?
In Herzberg's theory, Money is merely a hygiene factor, not a motivating factor.

Generally by the time engineers start thinking about money you've already lost them.

My rule of thumb has always been that when I start thinking "I'm not getting paid enough to put up with this", it's time to move on whatever happens.
Exactly.

And therein lies the problem. Fiber latency from coast to coast in CONUS is 20ms in the very best case. But that will never happen, and you instead of many hops, where the latency is typically upwards of 40ms just for the fiber. Elon is saying the latency will be around 20ms. How? Because he's quoting a single path up and down in the same beam in the best case. Nominally, it will be much, much higher.

You're comparing apples to oranges. The 40ms in that video is for Seattle to NY via multiple satellite hops, which is a hypothetical configuration. Elon's tweet is talking about one hop only, from satellite to ground station, which is the intended configuration for v1. There will be dozens or hundreds of ground stations in the US to support this.

For existing GEO satellites, the equivalent measurement is 600ms. That's the relevant comparison. With just 20ms added on top of regular internet latency it would still be usable for competitive gaming at all but the highest levels, as the tweet says.
Do you have any evidence that this genetic information is being used for law enforcement purposes? What I read in that chapter you linked only covers that the tests are being done (for a legitimate reason).

For what it's worth plenty of kids get into rock climbing in nyc. There is a relatively high density of high quality gyms and nyc is 2 hours from one of the best climbing destinations in the country (in my admittedly biased opinion).
It probably depends quite a bit on the engineer's life outside of work.

For much of my career, I was the only income earner in a family of 6. Making ends meet was sometimes a challenge, which made me very salary-sensitive and averse to the risk of income disruption.

My family finances have somewhat improved in recent years, letting me unclinch a little regarding money. This lets me put more weight on other factors relating to job satisfaction and feeling of purpose.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link:

* developer wants compensation

* browser gallery has no resources

* users has no time to audit

Why as a user of Linux distribution I feel safer than installing extension? I asked maintainers, they have no answer, they don't perform audit. What if push to the gallery and update automatically is bad idea?

I mean in Linux distribution maintainers pull updates, they test it and push to stable. Each distribution can block update, it makes sense for author and maintainers to easy update with reproducible builds, source version control. Distribution may audit application - it is much simpler than audit by each user. Distribution may patch application to its standards.

In theory authors and maintainers can be bought, in practice it is much harder. And by itself this reduces pressure.

So I believe gallery should be split to trusted and others. And browsers should allow alternative galleries. I have a few extensions I trust.

I think what happened is some States that wanted it gone told the Attorney General that they would challenge it as a violation of the APA unless it was rescinded, but then it was rescinded, so that lawsuit was never filed.

Click bait title, it just created some lyrics, I was hoping for a deepfake of the voice like "Voice synthesis" channel on YouTube.
I won't comment on your other points, but you are definitely unfair on contact tracing and mass testing.

Contact tracing scales extremely poorly. Contact tracing a single case involves a long interview and to the tune of a hundred people to be found and tested; for a disease like COVID you need to catch 60–80% of all infected contacts. Rinse repeat for each newly discovered case. It just wasn't possible in the UK for more than a few hundred cases and in the absence of R-reducing measures, so it was abandoned. And before you make comparisons with other countries, just having a centralised database of addresses makes contact tracing much easier, but it's not a thing in the UK because privacy.

Mass testing requires mass testing capacity, which just wasn't there. And it's not clear how mass testing would make anything better anyway, the policy was to self quarantine on any symptoms regardless of covid status.
For whatever reason this is making me think about the narrative from a lot of VC’s, Paul Graham, Tyler Cowen, and many more that remote work will commoditize software engineering and destroy wages there.

And articles like this make me think about institutional knowledge and how there are no standards what so ever in software, and so long as new frameworks, languages, and not invented here syndrome persist there will always be a need to keep your engineering staff around.

It really seems to depend... I believe the article in the big cities they listed.

Here in Raleigh, North Carolina suburbs, for the specific place I own, I'm definitely spending less on my principle+interest+insurance+taxes+HOA+maintenance than renting.

This is far from the case for everyone, even in the same area, especially depending on what is being rented, and if the total rent is being split by 2+ people. (I live alone in a 2BR residence.)
I didn't downvote you, but the size of the beam is heavily dictated by the elevation they're willing to work with, and the wider the elevation, the more expensive the antenna. So give that they need to decrease the size of the beam to keep antenna cost down, it's highly likely that the beam size is much, much smaller than what you cited there.

It is also wrong. I am a long time i3 user. Never had a problem with it, never done anything special. Most of the time I'm running Debian stable, so I even use software versions that most people consider 'old'.

The large UK broadcaster I work for is having to make large amounts of savings. They've decided that they don't like paying for slack (for £10 per user per month), and instead are going to force everyone to use MS Teams.

Since 95% of people have been working from home (and no plans for most to go back this year), they won't allow people to take unused monitors back because they might end up lost. These are £80 monitors.

It's these pathetic nickle-and-diming that is far more likely to make me look for another job than not paying a £200 a year pay rise.

Someone sees "£80 times 20,000 staff, that's over £1m, we can't risk that!"
Not really. It's in your hand, right now. It can't be disputed later and retrospectively yanked back out of your bank account, or not paid out to you in the first place if you use an intermediary payment service. These are not hypothetical problems.

It's also a traditional sign of honesty, and a convenient way for someone who has provided very good service to be tipped without making a big deal of it ("Keep the change"), and both of those things can be important in these kinds of situations.
