A nice, laid-back, zero-bs team is all I need. I value that much much higher than money. I have no interest in workplace drama. I've always considered career and competition to be quite pointless: if I had a good idea I'd build the product myself and keep all the margins in my pocket. It's computer stuff afterall.

Often I have no interest in the work itself either, but if the team is good I'm happy. They could make us shovel snow all day, I'd still come to work.
That's exactly why you want to use something like Telegram if you're in the West: it's not controlled by a Western government.

I don't care much for the conspiracy nuts, but their ability to communicate with each other would surely have been terminated had they used WhatsApp.

It's fine to use WhatsApp to praise Obama, Merkel or anything else that is widely accepted in your society etc, but it's a terrible choice if you're on the shit list of the government.
From nearly two years ago. If anyone wants to add to the discussion they can't do it there, but certainly if someone wants to see what was said last time and possibly then add their own thoughts, they'd have to do it here.
Man, that opinion is a bunch of bull. If one President does something and another wants to undo it, they can't just leave everyone effected by it in a lurch, even if DACA was brought to the courts and ruled unconstitutional, it would still be the responsibility of the executive to deal with the people affected by it.
I think your parent is suggesting that this whimsical example is patronizing.

Some fun history here: Ruby uses #{} for string interpolation. I used to teach Ruby to folks as a job, and I believe that my boss, Jeff Casimir, said that they looked like lobster pincers in one of our classes. (If Jeff reads this and that's incorrect, my apologies!)

Years later, when I was writing this part of the book, I remembered this analogy, and we had the whole crab thing going on with Rust, and I thought it was a fun thing. So I put it in the book.

Some people find whimsy inherently patronizing or something. I dunno. It's an offhanded fun comment, not some sort of desire to "dumb things down" for anyone. We don't write anything with the intention of dumbing things down.
No - I’m arguing that Apple is a platform which is sold as a safe and curated environment.

They therefore should be allowed to prevent stores which seek to circumvent that curation.

Many customers want a closed, managed platform.

For those who want an open platform, one is available in the form of Android.

Let’s stop trying to take that choice away.
Why are you stopping? Because you think they collaborate with the FSB more now?

Which is part of why it's not that uncommon to see people who bounce from job to job every year or two in the Bay Area. It rapidly boosts salary. I've also seen where people leave for a top paying company, which sends their compensation right to the moon, then come back after a short stint.

Netflix seems to be a rare example of a company that is proactive enough with pay raises to counter this (any Netflix folks here that can confirm/refute?). Not sure why more companies don't do that, at least when they're well capitalized.
The CCP is getting ever more ambitious (perhaps reckless) in the wake of the pandemic. I am not sure if it's overconfidence or calculated tactical moves. The timing of the border conflict with India is no mere coincidence -- it seems like an attempt to secure assets (CPEC) on the Western theatre in anticipation to any action on the Eastern front.
I took my first programming job with the intent of staying 3 years and then getting a new job that would pay me what I was worth.

I got very lucky and they kept pace with what I could have gotten elsewhere for about 5 years. At that point, I stopped getting raises and about a year later, switched jobs for that 40% raise.

It's pretty much the norm for IT until you get to your pay level. It's complex, but I think it's mainly that it's hard to justify pay raises beyond what a job is worth and actual promotions are hard to swallow for management, especially if they don't need someone at that level.

When you left each job, they probably filled it with someone making about what you were when you left, but the new job you got was more demanding and better-paying.

I think for the first part of your career, aiming for pay is the right choice. After a while, the pay is fairly settled and you can look for other compensation instead.
And they already do that. The problem is, almost every extension has a legitimate need to read and/or modify the page, so people click through this permission warning like Vista's UAC.
This is the self driving care problem

People want a perfect system to replace an imperfect one. When instead they should rationally look at it and ask "is it better than what we have now" instead they pick it apart for any flaws then proclaim that is not workable because it is not 100% perfect every time
The moment they start doing this, other countries will restart their mines and the Chinese leverage (and profits) will evaporate. Rare earth minerals aren't that rare.
Perhaps not. I just meant not the majors (Pearson, Hachette, etc.)
It implies the content is not appropriate for kids. Like PG-13 in US.

Every website and TV show in Russia must show age rating.
by doing that for the first 10 years you likely established a much higher "salary floor" than you would have if you hadn't job-hopped.

Yes, at some point most people can end up "satisfied", but part of the reason you got there in the first place was the choices you made along the way.
This site is using videos pulled from Youtube. The lack of African cities most likely results from few available options. Certainly biases could play a role but a more charitable view is simply that those videos don't exist or are harder to find.

Pay me enough so I can feed my family and have comfortable shelter.

Don't create a culture where I am a doer but not allowed to be a decider. I will eventually walk away from asymmetric power structures.

If you don't/can't trust me, I probably won't trust you. I prefer relationships of trust.

I want to learn and improve. Use your extra money to do that and act is if it matters to you.

If you must use pay as your sole means of appeasing me, pay me LOTS. So very much that I'm willing to put up with the bureaucratic shitshow that is your company, spending all my drone-ish non-innovative 9 to 5 day thinking about the rush I'm going to experience doing cool things with all of the excess cash you're giving me.

>My longest-running projects are all in active use. I maintain them because they are useful to me, and update them to fit my needs.

This makes sense. A lot side projects (that are not for others but just for me) only spinned from semi-interest, not for active use. This could be the reason. Someone has to use it.

It's called Canvas Legacy. The game is pretty dead right now since most players are waiting for the major patch I'm releasing at the end of the month.
Bands are usually per level - if someone is sufficiently good you bring them in as a Principal/Staff/Magic Unicorn/whatever.

This leads to the same phenomenon where you need to work for 2 years to get promoted but if you jump ship your new manager will set your level in line with your salary expectations. And of course the levels are largely meaningless outside of compensation and office politics.
Just to be clear, the paper is about an extension to Cuckoo hashing, while the link to the visualization is about standard Cuckoo hashing.

From the paper: "we describe algorithmical changes to cuckoo hash tables allowing a more efficient implementation. More precisely, our hash table adds a bloom filter in each bucket that allows to prune unnecessary lookups to the secondary bucket."
I hope sooner than later there will be some kind of union of engineers and salaries will be public and standarized (and the median value of the salary for each position will be higher than today, due to the power of collective bargaining). It is shameful that some senior software engineers earn so much less than others, due to out-of-band reasons.
Hi, there is a local run option with instructions here: https://github.com/github/super-linter/blob/master/docs/run-...
What’s wrong with Android?

Another good option would be to force vendors to allow consumer to install any operating system they chose, so people could install Android or Facebook os on Apple hardware. Essentially boot camp for iPhone.

This would be great for software freedom since it would have to apply across the board to Android vendors too.

Forcing Apple to make their operating system work the way you want them to is like forced speech or forced labor, and is taking away a choice consumers clearly want. It also simply doesn’t open the door for real innovation in the space.

If we are going to solve this problem, let’s do it for real.

It’s also worth pointing out that if you force Apple to allow alternate stores, those stores will be owned by Google and Amazon. They will not compete on ‘innovation’. They will compete on advertising reach.

Let’s be real. If you are advocating for alternate stores to be forced on iOS, you simply arguing for Amazon and Google and Facebook‘s competitive interests while doing nothing to constrain their various anticompetitive tendencies.

It is worth noting that "happiness" is distinct from "life satisfaction" in these studies. The latter does scale with income up to very high levels. Just being happy on a day to day basis is a low standard, many people aspire to more in life somewhat independent of happiness.
Ah a management consultant producing arguments for lower pay for Hr/Accounting to justify cost cutting.

Depends on the type of voting employed.

First Past the Post (what most nations us) is not a way to pick a true representative official, it breads defensive voting, vote spoiling, and all kinds of other problems where you end up in a spiral of worse and worse people, and where everyone says "I do not want either option but...."
If it's not problematic, then why would GitHub put in the time to make this change? In your worldview, it might not be problematic, but for others it is.
I can't find a link right now but there's a great interview out there that Honnold and Peter Croft did together talking about their different approaches to free soloing. It was interesting to hear the contrasts in their styles.
Tangential, but a while ago I got really into sports gambling - mostly golf. And a rather unique thing about golf is that there are over 100 players in the field, and only one can win (and obviously there are other things to bet on besides the winner) but it's supremely important to internalize the fact that you can make very good decisions and still lose most of the time. You can't tell how your strategy has played out until you've got enough trials under your belt.

In any situation where you're trying to make a prediction, the best you can do is to make a decision based on available information, and then try to update based on outcomes, but being wrong in retrospect is absolutely not equal to having made a bad choice. It's, frankly, shocking to me how often someone will witness one bad outcome and accuse the person involved of being an idiot and making the obviously wrong choice.

Racism originally was based on intent.
That modern US "academics" decided to turn every people into racists doesn't change it.

In your study about hair : was it also done between chinese and indians, indians & eskimos and eskimos and swedish people?
Because what those US academics brilliantly "discovered" is that people are more at ease with people that look like them. If you want to call it racist, at least have the honesty to attribute it to all human beings.
hypocrite much?
And your boss at 121 time askes so exactly what have you delivered.
GA's "Filter bots" setting simply applies the IAB bot filtering list[1]. The resources required to operate a page rendering bot[2] used to be a high enough bar that the ones doing so were large actors and would make their way onto that list pretty quickly.

The IAB list is still a helpful baseline (if overpriced if you want to lease the list itself[3]), but all it's doing is applying suppression based on things like known bot IP ranges and user agents. It's far less effective than it used to be since it's so incredibly easy and cheap nowadays for anyone with an interest to spin up a rendering bot. Now you've got to supplement it actively with your own set of filters and heuristics if you really want to get rid of bot traffic polluting your data.

[1] https://iabtechlab.com/software/iababc-international-spiders...

[2] Scraping bots were cheap and easy to run before, but didn't render the GA javascript code so never showed up in analytics. It's only bots that use something like a headless browser to render the page that show up in GA, and those have only become commoditized and cheap/easy relatively recently.

[3] Google applies the IAB list to your traffic for free if you check the setting for it, but if you want to use the IAB list yourself you have to pay $4k - $14k annually to lease it from IAB.
The REM myth is just that. The CCP previously tried to weaponize REM exports to hurt Japan and that both failed and revitalized REM production outside of China. That would also further hurt their own ability to export as no one will want anything important be it infrastructure or supply chains to be reliant on the whims of wolf diplomacy.

> Some black people assimilate into white culture while others push toward perfectionism in order to overcome negative stereotypes. Others ignore the microaggressions, despite the sting believing the merit of their work is the most important metric of success.

This has been my experience, balancing everything that is happening with "maybe these microaggressions had nothing to do with race, like all the people on hackernews and linkedin would say" or maybe thats naivete as this is the exact experience other people that look like me are saying happens

"Kind of odd how these mormon investors never look at me during this entire meeting of three people"

"Kind of odd how I keep finding out that my business partners wrote themselves large stakes of newly formed companies, and I have to perform an arbitrary set of work over an arbitrary set of time to maybe get diluted in later"

maybe its just me [and a predictable experience echoed by people that look like me]

On another note, which I think this article gets wrong or doesn't factor in well with the acknowledgement of assimilation, it assumes people of color in the space are trying to service "communities of color". It isn't factoring in the idea that they are playing the same world-changing moonshot game as everyone else, a game that doesn't care about nuances of any particular country's demographics. People are the same and want the spoils of this industry, thats the key thing to remember. Some people have their own idea of addressing underserved communities or paying it forward to people that look like them, but most people are aiming to perpetuate the industry itself.
Expensive, heavy and they require a relatively large amount of power. Very, very robust though.
It's pretty decent imitation, but yeah I was hoping the whole song was AI. Then again most AI songs are still pretty lame.
We don’t know that. It might as well be that the laws we know just are good simple approximations to something much more complex.
You could manage to isolate these functions. The problem is that it's much of a hassle to run the whole thing on an emulator because there are way too many real environment dependencies, and even if you go the hackery way and patch all those, you won't know if you're generating one with the correct parameters because you're treating the whole thing as a black box.
> "hr" is Croatian, Hungarian would be "hu" (and no doubt it sounds cool too).

And the translation is abysmal: "jezgra" = "core" (of nuclear reactor) or "nucleus" (of an atom); the closest translation for "izbačena" is "ejected". I believe that "core" comes originally from memory technology of the time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic-core_memory) so it should have been possible to find a more meaningful translation.

EDIT: As a native Croatian speaker, I have NEVER used any program in Croatian locale. It is simply unintelligible. Funnily, I find Norwegian (where I live now) translations more approachable.
Go is designing generics around the language tenets, which are quite different from Java's. In themselves, generics aren't particularly interesting...it gets interesting when you start considering the tradeoffs you need to make in order to align them with the tenets of your language, runtime, and ecosystem. I wouldn't say Go is doing generics "better", they are doing them "differently" to align with the goals of the language.

(Personally, I'm not looking forward to generics in Go, I enjoy the simplicity of not having them and haven't encountered situations where they'd make a huge difference.)
While I agree with your sentiment that this is clearly overblown, and perhaps the usage of “AI” these days to describe simple systems in general, your stance is too strong. Markov chains/models have always been considered traditional AI tools. At least it was taught to me when I did my degree in AI twenty years ago, using the first edition of AIMA.

(There’s a whole topic called Hidden Markov Models, and algorithms for learning them using only observed events, like Baum-Welch.)

There are plenty of people doing fun things using texts to build fun predictive models (look at Botnik Studios), but that also doesn’t mean it’s not AI.
Not a Netflix employee, but one of my best friends is. He got in at a mid/upper 200ks range salary, and within a single year got a double digit percentage bump.

Netflix just seems to be an extreme outlier in terms of base (cash) compensation. I think the only companies that could beat it are some rare and elite financial firms (i.e. Jane Street) that are even tougher to get into than FAANG.
Pretty big logical leap there. I don’t think it’s justified to conclude that his board seat is to allow him to protect his publishing partnership. If they wanted to do that, they could have just made the contract ironclad.

Also, one board seat out of five doesn’t enable him to protect the partnership. Log-roll, maybe, but again this is drawing some pretty conclusions IMO.
Visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_particle_discoveri... and, since we are talking about subatomic particles, remove 1995's antihydrogen and 2011's antihelium-4. Note that the criteria listed on the page are a little generous. What's that graph look like, plotted on time?

1930s: Three subatomic particles

1940s: Two subatomic particles

1950s: Three subatomic particles

1960s: Three subatomic particles

1970s: Four subatomic particles, that's going up but then ...

1980s: only one subatomic particle

1990s: One subatomic particle

2000s: Two subatomic particles, and that is if you are being generous about including the quark-gluon fireball, which I wouldn't be

2010s: One subatomic particle

There are only so many to discover, if these are fundamental, and so the timeline of discoveries per decade must trend down.
Strange. Fully valid certificate. Try hard refreshing a few times.
That'd be a noticeable performance hit I'd say.
IIRC, that's the one they used. This struck me as kinda crappy and anti-competitive. Perhaps this is too idealistic, but I would prefer a more transparent and open market for talent.
Have you even read this article? Because it contains dubios allegations from a single person and an explicit denial from Durov.
I imagine it has to do with avoiding resentment within the team. Folk don't share their starting compensation, but they sometimes share their raise percentage. If they give one person a big raise, they have to give others a big raise too, or suffer a morale hit. Also, from a beancounter perspective, there's no reason to pay more than needed for something. As long as folk aren't quitting, they are paying you enough. I work at a company that tries to prioritize employee well being, and I have gotten very considerate compensation adjustments that track the value I add to the company. Places like that are out there, but they are a bit rare.
Even though it's far from over, I'm sick of talking about coronavirus. But we can't stop until we've learned everything we can from it. Obviously, it's human impact is awful. It has been a brutal stress test for so many of our health and economic systems: healthcare, food, ppe, school, etc.

So, if there's one good thing that comes out of this, and I'm sure there will be many, it has to be that manufacturing returns to all advanced countries. No longer should we outsource nearly all of our manufacturing to various parts of Asia. Nothing against Asia, but we've known for a long time that it is high risk to put all of your "eggs", of any kind, in one basket -- it's very risky for everyone if we concentrate all of those abilities into a handful of countries in one part of the world. In might be cheaper in the short term, but it could be devastating for all of us in the long run.

This time it was a pandemic, but next time it could be something that destroys those countries and the timeline to rebuild is years. The survival of the planet may depend on our ability to manufacture. It already does in some ways, but the timeline is rather long at this point. What if the danger is imminent? Do we really want most high (and low) tech manufacturing concentrated in one part of the world? No, we need to spread it globally for the potential benefit of everyone.

The same way you balance your investment portfolio between different types of assets, we need to balance our investment in the future of the planet across the globe as well. Sure, some assets aren't as profitable, but you still hang on to them for security, stability and risk reduction.
Also, food manufacturers don't reserve the right to change my food's nutritional value at any time after I buy it.
