That’s an entirely separate philosophical discussion about the meaning of “slavery.” I’m speaking to the historical and material reality that the structuring and maintenance of wage labor was informed and defined by the existence of slavery in the U.S.

And of course it still is - slavery is legal as a form of punishment in this country and we have prisoners working at pay and conditions below those of other forms of wage labor. Is it your hypothesis that the two don’t interact with each other? How could they not in a market context where forced labor persists in competition with other low wage labor?

I can see why.
Lack of clear boundary between work and home, mainly due to lack of commute but also due to spending all day at home. Lack of in-person social interactions at work. More procrastination leading to less productivity and having to work longer hours to make up for it. Etc etc.

Talking of Netflix, genuinely curious about something...

I know that they have a leadership position today and supposedly hire great engineers, pay them very well and are doing very well in the stock market.

But, in view of numerous other streaming services, purely in today’s context, do they have an engineering edge that is a key strength that will help them keep their leadership position or is that engineering edge no longer relevant and leadership in streaming services would simply be determined by who has the content.
> Sure, and I think they are being presented civilly - the "math is racist" CNN article is quite mild in tone https://money.cnn.com/2016/09/06/technology/weapons-of-math-.... - but that doesn't help much when your interlocutors think that certain ideas are inherently uncivil.

I don't think anyone thinks the "math is racist" article is uncivil. I think they think it's stupid. And the title "math is racist" is pretty undeniably laughable.

The content of the article "Sometimes mathematical tools are used to reinforce aspects of racial inequality" is much more reasonable. But people dislike this because it's a motte and bailey argument - the headline "math is racist" is a ridiculous proposition that is totally unsupported by the content of the article.

> (The problem in some sense is the opposite of what the interlocutors say - "racist" is a well-defined term, and one can debate whether a thing is racist or not, but they're not willing to engage with any argument that something is racist, and they respond to it by shutting down debate and saying their opponents are unreasonable.)

There is no serious argument that 'math' is racist. There are serious arguments that mathematical tools have been and are used to reinforce racial inequality. That is nowhere near the same thing as "math is racist".
So is it okay to sing along to Snoop Dogg and say the n-word, or no? I'm actually unsure, since my close friends wouldn't care.

The bank angle wouldn't be the problem. It would be more the change in roll rate. People don't have problems when the elevator is in constant motion. It's the start and stop that cause the feelings.

It probably wouldn't be all that hard to build some sort of rate of rate of roll limit into the flight control. Or just have the pilot smoothly move the stick to the desired rate of roll rather than snapping it to the desired position. They are severely limited in what they can do with pitch when there are passengers. This would be a relatively minor limit to what they can do with roll.
>HN lives in a bubble of pro-remote talking points. In reality, most of the tech workforce (to say nothing of the non-tech workforce, which I assure you is much more anti-remote) does not enjoy it.

Absoultely. I think there's a place for remote work, and a lot of people do manage to make it work really well for themselves and their organizations. I don't think it's broadly generalizable though. People's priorities are diverse. I'm a pretty well-established person in my field, and I would hate to do WFH 100% because I enjoy mentoring junior folks, and I just can't form connections with people unless I'm in the same space as them.

I really value the option of discretionary WFH, but in reality I'd exercise it fewer than two or three days a month. I find a ton of value in being present and attentive in meatspace.
In other words, up to a third of staff want to work remote full-time.

Ignoring the wishes of these people is not how one builds an inclusive workplace.

Listen to them and, if granting their wish, make sure tools and processes take remote workers in consideration.

It’s a far worse situation to pretend remote working is supported without proper consideration.
From their Culture Slides and overall stories about Netflix, it seems they are a bit different from most companies, read: move more slowly but more predictably.

Yes, as a lot of people I've been feeling negative effects of prolonged WFH however this talk of WFH "makes debating ideas harder" just makes me roll my eyes. I don't think there was anything I didn't manage to do over a quick zoom call compared to what's doable in person.
No, it's more about making them care more about paying you back. I don't agree with the practice, but lets not pretend that it's strictly about revenge rather than motivating the person to pay the debt.

And at no point before it got this far did anyone ask ‘perhaps, part of the knowledge we’re buying for $120,000 and part of the value our future employers will impute into that degree is the cultural literacy and emotional competence to discern when a Chinese colleague is saying “ummmmm” and when they’re casually tossing out racial epitaphs midsentence?’

You can't run a capitalist economy like that because everything is decentralized, requires growth, and advertising is an accelerant of consumer spending. However, if production is publicly owned and planned, advertising is mostly unnecessary. No market economy = no adverts.

Within capitalism, some regulations can make it slightly less invasive but the imperatives of the system will over time break down those regulations.
Only millions? Amazing!

To actually deliver a physical, one-of-a-kind, working vehicle of that scale & novel function, for low-digit millions, seems pretty impressive to me - especially if the effort documented enough of their choices/discoveries/limitations to help inform later efforts.

Politics isn't going to solve this. You could elect an anti-PC theorist like Donald Trump, or an old school liberal like Nancy Pelosi, and this sort of thing would keep happening.

The real solution is just awareness. As people see more examples of this sort of thing going wrong they will be more careful about it.
Yes! There is a very active community of using Cuda to do signal processing[1].

Latency is an interesting thing, its always part of the SDR pipeline since you have filter delays and processing delays. Most digital streams are uni-directional so you get the bits out, just shifted by 'x' nS. Since the 'x' is deterministic you can plan for it.

If I remember correctly, having a capable RTOS is much more important, and they can be used in regular processors too [0].

I wonder what's so special about this processor that makes it better than dozens of other hardware platforms (both microprocessors and microcontrollers) on which embedded RTOSes are running and doing just fine.

Also if you have a 64-bit processor, but no 64-bit RTOS, you don't have much.

There's RPG-ish & enchantment mechanics to build up better tools & armor, different biomes to get different resources from, NPC villages to trade/upgrade/protect, and various enemies with varying drops, including in bases/dungeons/strongholds.

The common game loops are "I want to build X, so I need to find area Y to defeat mob Z to get the resources", and "I need to mine resource X, so I need to get resource Y to build tool Z to be able to do so", as well as building resource farms and some rudimentary automation.

So there is enough structured activity to drive actual gameplay beyond just having a pile of virtual blocks to stack, but it contains an additional unrestricted sandbox mode as well.
For a number of reasons, including this kind of political correct fascism, cost, irrelevant coursework in 95% of majors, ideological approach to knowledge, I think American Universities have jumped the shark.
Part of the problem is that we're using reviews for multiple purposes:

Amazon mostly seems to want reviews to be for a type of product and is fine merging reviews from any seller claiming to sell that product because at least then all the reviews will be in the same place. This is still subject to the problem you're describing (how broadly should different parts of a single review apply).

That isn't the whole story though. For a lot of products people already know exactly what they want and are using reviews to figure out if the seller is able to provide it without selling a counterfeit, without shipping it 2 months late for 2-day shipping, without selling a used model as new, etc.... This still suffers from a granularity problem (does the seller generally do a good job and just not know how to package N64 controllers), but that granularity isn't as severe of an issue as with arbitrary products.
That baofeng isn’t full duplex, they’re using an incorrect definition. It can’t transmit and receive simultaneously on different bands.
In Swedish, the last station of e.g. a subway line (the terminus) is a "slutstation". (slut=end, station=station)

It should be the same word in Danish, too.

I've seen native English speakers giggle at that word, for obvious reasons -- when this word pops up all of a sudden while in a mass transit, and one interprets it as an English word, the association is truly bizarre.

But of course the word obviously does not mean some kind of a prostitute central, just like "nà ge" is not part of rap music lyrics.
I find the texture better and it lasts longer if I just freeze it and heat it up in the oven for five minutes at 250 F. By myself a whole loaf would end up moldy before I could make it more than a few slices in even in the refrigerator, but this way I don't have to waste bread to enjoy sandwiches at the pace I normally eat them, periodically.
There is obviously nuance, but if the word sounds like a slur, and is used generally to describe people of a certain race, then the offended can certainly express their offense, and the culture should consider the offended person's position.

In this case I am pretty sure the word is "neger", and yeah, I don't think we should mourn or handwring over any sort of great loss of Norweigian culture/heritage that has occurred due to them being more sensitive to using that word to describe black people. Cultures evolve.

That's honestly just poor leadership from scared management. Management should be clearly articulating the mission, goals, and "culture" (for lack of a better word) of the company. This gives management and other employees grounds to challenge well meaning but unnecessary social action by forcing proponents to explain how those social actions would align with / further the goals, mission, and culture of the org. Usually proponents of these woke policies are not capable of doing this.

>Also they can lead to a poor pattern which is functions/methods that take too many parameters.

>In addition, positional arguments are simply easier to read; as keyword arguments are not ordered, you’re essentially parsing the arguments, seeking the important ones etc.

Microsoft's raw Win32 API SDK is based on the C Language and even though that language doesn't have named parameters, it still did not discourage functions designed with lots of parameters that's difficult to mentally parse.

To make such code self-documenting, this is how I typically write Win32 API calls to make the code readable:

ret = CreateProcess(NULL, // _In_opt_ LPCTSTR lpApplicationName,
cmd, // _Inout_opt_ LPTSTR lpCommandLine,
NULL, // _In_opt_ LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpProcessAttributes,
NULL, // _In_opt_ LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpThreadAttributes,
TRUE, // _In_ BOOL bInheritHandles,
CREATE_NO_WINDOW, // _In_ DWORD dwCreationFlags,
NULL, // _In_opt_ LPVOID lpEnvironment,
NULL, // _In_opt_ LPCTSTR lpCurrentDirectory,
&si, // _In_ LPSTARTUPINFO lpStartupInfo,
&pi); // _Out_ LPPROCESS_INFORMATION lpProcessInformation

If the language had named parameters, I wonder if Microsoft would have used them so programmers wouldn't have to sprinkle extra comments like that. (Comments are also brittle because they're not real tokens that the compiler would check.) Without the comments, it looks like this:

ret = CreateProcess(NULL,
cmd,
NULL,
NULL,
TRUE,
CREATE_NO_WINDOW,
NULL,
NULL,
&si,
&pi);

All those naked NULLs and TRUE params are very hard to parse unless you've memorized the positions.

I'm not recommending that we need the verbosity of Objective-C named parameters but I don't see how mentally relying on position is less cognitive load.
Yeah maybe it is easier to achieve in large companies...? They will anyway need to employ lots of people since they are large. Whereas growing the headcount might not always be that easy for small companies.

So far I have mostly worked for small companies. So I might want to consider working for larger ones.

Also, thank you for suggesting multiple strategies. All angles need to be considered (^_^)
It's still not finished? They've been working on that, and collecting money, for over 20 years now. The one in Van Horn is just the prototype, too.

Netflix Prize (2009)
As other people have said, you can negotiate for this. I've done it at multiple jobs. Here's an interview with someone who has been doing it for 15 years: https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/01/08/part-time-programmer...

1. It's easier at existing job; you have all this knowledge that's hard to replace (https://codewithoutrules.com/2019/01/25/4-day-workweek-easy-...).

2. At new jobs, apply normally. Then _after_ you get an offer, ask for shorter hours.

3. I wrote a book about the process; it's no longer public linked on my site because pandemic has lowered negotiation leverage a lot and I'm not sure how to address that, but if you're interested: https://codewithoutrules.com/3dayweekend/

Get some term life insurance. It is usually very inexpensive.
I assume that "free indoors" is like keeping them in a massive warehouse where they can walk around, but with a other 9,999 animals around them. Technically they can walk around, realistically they can't make half a step before bumping to 10 other animals, and they poop all over, thus the needs for antibiotics. The "out in the open" is not happening for most farms.

> Sure you can replicate this on zoom, but it's just not quite the same as sitting across from someone reading their body language.

I see this as a positive, no need to read body language for most tech company meetings - while troubleshooting a network issue, doing code review or talking through a new feature. It may be different for HR or a law firm, where its about "judging your opponent" or similar double speak but 99% of tech meetings can easily be replicated over zoom and are better of without any of that anyway.

The best part is actually Peter Greenhalgh, VP of Tech at ARM wrote in the comment section.

>A real-time processor doesn't intrinsically process any differently from a normal applications processor. What differentiates it is that it bounds latencies and behaves deterministically. For example, rather than an interrupt latency on applications CPU taking anywhere from 50-1,000 cycles (or more) the interrupt latency can be bounded to under 40-cycles.

>Tightly Coupled Memories allow certain routines and data to be stored within the CPU so there's never any chance that a cache eviction has taken place which forces a fetch from DDR (or flash). In a phone or laptop, you don't have routines that absolutely must be accessed in 5-cycles and can't wait 250-cycles for DDR. If you're controlling an HDD you can't have the read head crashing off the spinning disk! Or, in automotive, the spark plug firing at the wrong.

>Latency and determinism can be very important!

>Not a R8 derivative.

If the speakers knows they are causing offense by using a word that was used to subjugate slaves, it starts to look like an extension of that racial subjugation. The word was used by speakers of a different language, and didn’t historically have the same meaning in Norway. But given the increased cultural and economic integration present in modern society, we all have to become a little bit aware of issues that are affecting people we interact with, in order to be decent citizens. At the same time, if somebody doesn’t know the pain they are causing, we should inform them with kindness and forgiveness.

After the Holocaust, some terms historically used to describe Jewish people became verboten, essentially out of respect for the serious nature of the consequences of anti-Semitism. Do you think it’s unjust that this cultural prohibition extends to nations that didn’t participate in the Holocaust? Might it be appropriate to treat the international calamity that is slavery with the same seriousness?

To answer your question more directly: The onus is mostly on the people who were subjugated to continue suffering the lasting effects of that. The burden on the people who find out that a word they use causes harm seems quite small in comparison (a good example of a “first world problem”). Whether that burden is too harsh to bear is up to each individual.
