Into the Job Market I Go the Search for a Statistical Job
Well, for one I can say I do feel lucky to have the choice not to work in the video games industry. It seems that these companies in general just treat their employees worse when compared to big tech. Video games are my passion of life and I will gladly never put my work in that realm. Being viewed as deriving pleasure and meaning from your job just puts you in such an exploitable situation.
Chromebooks rather than Pis amount to some percentage of Linux "desktop" used. Dunno how much but their CPUs are definitely ARM devices.
I'm pretty sure the transition of "tech fashion" from something early computer nerds did at least somewhat authentically to its modern form was, at first, an example of exactly that (by people who "don't care about their appearance", naturally, wink wink). Of course these days there's a bunch of other stuff it's mixed with, like hipster fashion and outdoor-lifestyle-but-only-the-expensive-stuff clothing, but originally it seems to me to have grown out of exactly that aping-authentic-countersignaling thing.
My advice- do the thing you dont want to do as the first thing in the morning. You will end up having a great day

Kind of too bad, because I guess it was mildly successful at least because they discontinued the "open" part of, see here: https://www.chaibio.com/openpcr

Their newer product that they've replaced this with is:

1) Way more expensive
2) Not open hardware
3) Remove GPLv3 license (that requires you keep things open) and replaced it with ALv2 (which allows you to take it proprietary)

All good things end up failing because of greed. We'd all be so much better off if we cared about bigger goals than just short term profit.
> A change to the status quo, as it were.

You didn't thought things through. If you're talking about a global pandemic then quite obviously you aren't talking about a scenario where the state of things already changed radically.

Moreover, I fail to see how keeping things as they are can be passed as a rational argument against something. You're actually arguing that things should not change because otherwise things would change, which makes absolutely no sense at all.
Why don’t lawyers like engineers?
Neat! I’ve looked on amazon and eBay where I could buy a slide rule but haven’t been able to find one. One of my professors told the class that he had a teacher who would challenge any of his students to run any calculation on a handheld calculator before he could do it on a slide rule. The students could never beat him even with long complicated equations. Found that fascinating.

I’ll provide an opposite anecdote from the other responses. I have no idea who David Boies is.
The nepotism point intrigued me, as I didn't remember that from the accounts I'd read. Sure enough: https://forwardthinking.pcmag.com/archive/the-rise-of-dos-ho...

"According to Fire in the Valley, he also reportedly told Gates that when IBM CEO John Opel heard Microsoft would get the contract, he said "Oh is that Mary Gates' boy's company?" since Opel and Bill Gates' mother served together on the national board of the United Way."

The way it's worded makes it sound like they already had the deal aside from any nepotism, but perhaps the CEO's approval sealed it / ensured terms were kept fair.
Yes.

I own an iPhone and use Outlook on it - works great!
I like the concept, but you're starting your development by throwing out the native UI components, along with all the accessibility features, keyboard shortcuts, and other features that go with them.

A search about accessibility immediately popped up github issues acknowledging the difficulty making screen readers work: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/29736

There are some applications that mimic all those friendly native behaviors, but it tends to take a lot of work, and sometimes pushing updates when the OS behaviors change.
> This is more efficient then using something like a game engine which has no concept about damaged regions and so on.

A game engine can avoid redraws trivially if no relevant input/event has occurred.

Further, AFAIK some graphic APIs do support dirty rectangles too, but to be honest, for desktop/laptop GUI apps I doubt it matters compared to anything else going on in the system.

And GUIs runs perfectly fine on integrated GPUs, further reducing the cost.

Blender does this perfectly fine, for instance.

> right now/recently China is sterilizing millions of muslim refugees

Big claims like that's require evidence? Do you have any? The UN human rights commissioner has been repeatedly invited to Xinjiang for years yet still hasn't gone.

Why are a large group of Muslim countries publicly supporting China's efforts in the region to reduce extremism?[1]

The more you look past the sabre rattlers the shakier all this supposedly common knowledge looks. Trace it back far enough and it all leads to Adrian Zenz, whom the BBC called a "world leading expert on Xinjiang", except Zenz can't read or speak Chinese, he's an Evangelical missionary whose "scientific" paper on Xinjiang that's so often quoted by the media contains strange Bible references, his published books are on how to survive the coming rapture and contain lot of bigoted statements against homosexuals.

Just wondering if Zenz is your source here?

> Google is a business that operates on the revenue from scams

I highly doubt these scams make up a significant fraction of Google's revenue. It is much more likely these are simply the failures of false negatives in automation falling through the cracks.

Besides the ad target scams, the Web itself is full of these scam malware sites. If you search for things to download, organic search results often send you links which eventually terminate in malware, especially true of searches for porn, software/music/movies.

I will raise this MapsQuest scam internally, so thanks for the report (note, I have nothing to do with ads, I work in research thats not ads related)
> Beyond the nuances of where seat-belt law is enforced, I’m also speaking of tempering the social cost of policing the policy.

If you're really interested in framing the problem that way then in the very least include in your analysis the social cost of dealing with thousands of deaths that otherwise could be easily avoided if everyone just wore their facemasks in public.

So far the US alone experienced over 150k deaths by covid19. What's the social cost of that?
The logic the Netherlands used to counter the "only can help" argument is that wearing cloth masks can lull people into a false sense of security where they are less observant of social distancing because they are overconfident in the protective power of the mask.

I'm not aware of any study that confirms or debunks this but from a neutral point of view I would say it's at least plausible.

For the record, I wear a mask.

The way I see it...

If ByteDance is letting the Chinese government use their other app, Douyin, as a propaganda platform for the CCP and banning entire races from using it in their native language on their direction: https://www.codastory.com/authoritarian-tech/xinjiang-china-...

And entering joint ventures with CCP owned media companies https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bytedance-filing/bytedanc...

... then why shouldn't people assume they're not independent of the CCP?
I'd like to see it, but the optics would be challenging, since Blizzard workers probably make a substantial bit more than most game industry people.

So possibly unpopular point of view here, maybe not on HN, but I think pay discrepancies can be entirely fair.

I'm almost certain my pay is different from my colleagues, but I've bargained like hell to get it. When I was hired, every time we've been acquired. I'm no executive either, I'm just a developer with a proven history of give-a-damn.

I think it's perfectly fair game in a job where it's hard to replace individuals, jobs where people with the same title can achieve vastly different amounts of value for the company, and especially for a company that values its employees.
Diatoms constrain forensic burial timelines: case study with DB Cooper money
Regarding sizes for Xcode, etc.: While I think they’re bloated downloads, they include things like dozens of OS simulators, far more than the app/IDE itself.
When stupid people feel their stupid ideas are challenged, some will get violent. Why? Because they're fucking stupid. They don't have the capability of self control, let alone intelligence to know when to use it. The level of stupidity to not wear a mask in a pandemic is so great that it's really the dumbest of the dumb we are talking about here. The idiots' idiots. These people are nothing more than children in adult bodies. Having no self control and resorting to violence because someone else does something that doesn't in any way affect you is evidence of their stunted minds and inability to function at even the most basic adult human levels.
> People’s general focus on the hose rather than the hole is well demonstrated by the fact that anyone you ask will be able to tell you how much money they make by some unit of time but almost no one will be able to tell you the same in terms of their costs.

I mean, this is just because most people have 1-2 income sources and way more expense sinks, so this is just rhetoric.
In particular, we should spend more on education of young, low-income kids.

The idea that "throwing money at" education will yield no benefit is preposterous on the face of it, when so many schools lack such basics as sufficient textbooks, desks, and pencils. This is not even getting into the more modern research on better pedagogical techniques or the other ways in which a school can be a support system for at-risk children (like meals).
That's a weird comparison. Yes life is unfair and everyone of us is born with some genetic privileges or disadvantages. But IQ and beauty hardly sit on the same bench.

IQ has a pretty strong correlation with the quality of the work you can produce. Higher IQ is generally beneficial to the solution of any task. If you are trying to go to Mars or find a vaccine for COVID-19, you probably want very smart people in the room. Hell, you want smart people even if you are building yet another ecommerce website.

The same is hardly true for beauty. Excluding beauty-specific jobs, skills and experience should always prevail over look.

IQ: unfair to the individual, justified by society well being
Beauty: unfair to the individual, no particular advantage for society

Yep. The flight characteristics of the 737 MAX in high angle of attack flight is either significantly different or it isn't, compared to prior 737's. Boeing said it is and created MCAS to mitigate/moderate that difference.

That MCAS can be disabled, means pilots need to know about, trained on, and demonstrate competency, on the ensuing natural (minus MCAS) flight characteristic.

And if the pilots are aware and demonstrate such competency, why even have MCAS? Rip it out.
Obviously I was referring to confirmed case, the more testing you have, the more confirmed case you have.

>If you're infected but asymptomatic or have mild symptoms you're still sick.

Sure for mild symptoms but if you don't have any symptoms you are not sick.

>Where is this happening? Where in the US are there enough tests that anyone that wants a test can get one?

At least in texas you can have test if you want anytime, you may have to pay though.

>Hospitals are a unique situation. They have a lot of people there that are at risk of severe complications if they catch COVID but at the same time have to deal with anyone from the public being able to enter the hospital at any time. It makes sense that they would take special precautions that are not necessary or appropriate elsewhere

Sure, we already know the covid spread easily, but we also know for the majority of cases it either asymptomatic or only have mild symptoms. The damage caused by lockdown are way more than the covid. Lockdown create bigger problem then it solves.
Same with the new iPhone SE. It's a front fingerprint reader, but it still felt like a big usability upgrade from the XS I had before. It's so easy to take your phone out and already have it unlocked, or even activate Apple Pay without looking. I'm sure the Pixel's fingerprint reader is the same story. Face ID was incredibly inconvenient when I was driving with someone else and they wanted to change the music playing on my phone, but with a fingerprint reader I don't have to take my eyes off the road.

This is such a bad idea. Try adding a line editor. Now try typing anything that is not ASCII or an emoji. Suddenly you'l see why you generally do not want to use a game engine for a tools.

Even the Godot editor itself is not non-English friendly. It's got a horrible experience for any language that uses an IME. If you try to insert an emoji on Mac the IME won't even appear.

> a landlord would rather offer a big discount to someone who can pay rent than continue to deal with a tenant who is unable to do so

No they wouldn't, because of rent control. Once they accept a lower rent, they're stuck with it for the long haul. In most cases, rent control makes you significantly better off going without rent for long periods of time than lowering rent.
> TikTok is assumed, without proof, to be 100% controlled by the Chinese government

All companies operating in China are 100% controlled by the Chinese government, because there is nothing the Chinese government is actually prevented from doing, and with regard to access to information, the PLA can essentially ask for anything for any reason without appeal. The legislature is more of a propaganda ritual than an actual legislature.

One need not prove that TikTok is particularly controlled by the Chinese government.
I'm pretty sure it was shared on podcast, but unfortunately that's making it impossible for me to search and find it because they don't provide transcripts. Obviously I don't expect anybody to take my word for it, just was hoping somebody else recalled it.
No one is suggesting that public schooling should not exist. I totally agree that every child has a right to education, but how does someone rich hiring a private teacher somehow conflict with this?

Child actors have had private teachers and have decades. Private schools have existed for centuries. Homeschooling is an excepted right.

Why should the rich not be allowed to home school using private staff or demonized for wanting to do so? Does anyone begrudge Mark Zuckerberg for hiring private security to help protect his family?
There is a similar story in one of Feynman's books of him doing high precision mental math faster than an abacus expert could do the calculations.
>Meanwhile, if you have even close to a clue about what's going on in China you'd know that ByteDance is bending over backwards trying to position itself as a multinational corporation with independence from the Chinese government

This seems kind of tonedeaf to say when you consider what is happening to Hong Kong right now. Why should anyone believe that ByteDance, a mere 100B dollar company, can have independence from the CCP, when that same government is seemingly itching to have to tanks rolling down Hong Kong?
I don't think there is one. I noticed recently that after losing the headphone jack my behavior changed and I almost never listen to music through headphones on my phone anymore. I'm not sure if that's a positive change.
That depends on what you think the point of justice is.

Is it to make you feel better or to improve society?

Personally I'd go for improving society because as fun as lynchings are we probably shouldn't kill minorities we don't like.

> Sorry, that's not an answer. I'm asking whether there are any projects that use modern C++ to its fullest.

That's precisely the answer, because the question, as you framed it, is absurd.

The point of using a language is to benefit from the features it provides. It makes absolutely no sense to argue that a language is not used "to its fullest" if you don't play feature bingo in your projects. That's silly. I'm using C++14 to its fullest if I use std::make_unique even if I use no template metaprogramming or lambdas or even throw exceptions. It makes no sense to argue otherwise.

Lower latency, easier to place cells in public places due to a broader range of frequencies, better bandwidth. The lower latency part is what’s going to enable edge computing for AR/VR, autonomous driving (separate via V2V but related), and other functions that need low latency. Cell phones are just a bonus.

Also, a lot of telecoms are kind of ignoring 4g/lte deadspots in favor of just putting new NSA 5G cells it seems. I’m excited, but I’m also biased because I work in the industry.
