When I discuss test driver development with a friend we often end up talking about the definition of a unit, what inherently defines a programming type, constraint, system tests, what it mean to allow a test drive the development, a class vs function vs data, exploratory programming, what should be tested vs not tested, if refactoring is likely or unlikely once we have a initial version running in production, what they think when using the word test vs what test might mean for me, and a bunch of side topics maybe related to programming.

Collaboration is hard even when two persons are paid to work for a common goal. An encyclopedia also encourage such debate over word definitions, and its only over the medium of writing, so it can very easy fall into arguments over words rather than productive collaboration that produce a working article. When that happen the easiest way out is to follow two rules: the assumption of good faith and an almost robotic approach to using what the majority of sources is using. It is not without reason why most of the issues in Wikipedia comes down to conflict resolution.

I'm not going to get in to a link war. All I'd ask is: in your personal experience, what have you observed? Are the seas higher than when you were a child? Are you struggling to breathe for all the C02?!? Stripping away the news coverage, what real life effects have you experienced personally?

Given the stakes (tax amounts are huge), you can bet penalties are high if the are wrong. I was at a unicorn that IPOed, FMVs were surprisingly fair, something like, per year: .52, .81, 1.3, 2.7, 4.6, 11, 16, and it IPOed around 22. Progression was quite the same after IPO so it seems pre-IPO FMVs would have been the same in a public market.

Not every single employee is necessary in the sense that the business would go bankrupt without them. (Even if that were actually true, the minimum would drive some businesses into bankruptcy, so I don't see how it would help your case.) Rather there's always a choice on the margin. The business can sweep the floor every day, every other day, twice a day, etc..
I work for a big company you've heard of as a developer. I'm fully remote since pre-pandemic and plan to stay fully remote indefinitely.

If you're a good developer with experience, it doesn't really matter where you are. I actually get paid more total comp than I would in SF, my cost of living is lower, and my tax situation is much better.

Very nice. Good work. I wrote something similar recently for an internal project. You should look into fetching JSON-LD as well. It’s a pretty neat little format. Once you have JSON LD you can then use jsonld’s various APIs or something like jq to get the data from it.
But because the behaviour is undefined, it doesn't matter how the computer would handle it, because the compiler is free to rework it into any arbitrary sequence of instructions, including removing it altogether.
That’s observably false. I have commented before that I choose not to hire an assistant any more because I am intimidated and overwhelmed by labor regulation compliance. There are many, many, marginal jobs like this. Jobs that could serve as an entry point to an industry for a person, and a business owner might happily hire someone and give them a chance to learn on the job, but if faced with too many hurdles, will simply do the work themselves.

This has the effect of making people even more dependent on college, btw. And can effectively make certain types of career paths disappear entirely.

It‘s never anything else. It rarely fails to amaze me how many people think of market capitalization or valuation as something „official“ or inherent in the company when that is really nothing more than what the market (or for private companies, the highest bidding investor) would pay for it at any given time.

If they use the valuations on which private cash raises are based as an input for the buybacks, it should get close enough to be reasonably fair.

Should usually end up in a slight undervaluation, but that‘s mostly an acceptable tradeoff for the employee for access to short-term liquidity.

Once there's a verified and tested v1 then you can start talking about deprecation. It's still beta software. Do you really think you're going to convince an enterprise or anything security critical by going "deprecate your battle-tested protocols and applications for this beta tool!".

There isn't even an explanation on that page of why it was written, why it should (or could) replace OpenPGP, how to replace it ( a handy comparison table), and which use cases the tool is good for. It'd be really great if instead of pushing for change, you'd actually provide some context and explanation.

Everybody can scream for change, few can understand (much less explain) the why and how. Maybe try and join the latter.

Interesting, I haven’t heard of this. Is it like a fixed allowance or based on the employee’s actual costs? How does it work for cyclists and others with cheap commutes? Here in Australia we have various special allowances for some jobs, and it is normal for the employer to fund work-related travel during the day, but it’s not normal for employers to pay for the cost of commuting to a regular office job.

It's a good question for proving my point.

Claiming the moral high ground should presume posession of moral basics like decency (cutting people some slack, benefit of the doubt). Even more so if the moral high ground is used to shame others pulicly or subjugate to dishonorable treatment.

If not, all the moral grandstanding is just an excuse to behave like a douche.

Thus:
people who are annoyed by this leave, with the share of those who think such behavior is ok ever increases

About reusable diapers: To satisfy ethical demands in an environment without decency is never achievable. Reusable diapers? Out of what material are they made? I hope it's environmentally substainable? Were they socially responsibly sourced? Done by a company or coop? Imported from a far away overseas country or produced by your local commune? It. Never. Stops.

> My commute was a pleasant 25m bike ride I could use to listen to podcasts (which is exercise I've now lost, so losing the commute didn't exactly give me a bunch of extra free time).

You can still do that, though. Get up, do a 12.5m bike ride out, and 12.5m bike ride back home. Then start work.

Or do anything else. Maybe you'd prefer to go for a run some days? Great, you can do that. Maybe you want to lift weights? Great, you can do that. Maybe you stayed up late the night before doing something fun and want to sleep in a little? Great, you can do that. None of this other stuff would have been possible when you were fixed into the required, inflexible commute routine, but now you can do any of these things, or just keep doing your same commute routine, just with a different route that returns you home.

> Not to mention, employers sort of implicitly assume that any time you gained back from not having to commute or whatever are just going to doing extra work.

They only assume that if you allow them to by working longer hours. Set your boundaries, and assert them.
Of course it's not good, it's magic disguised as science.

It's theoretically possible, but we're nowhere near the level of tech to be able to pull it off.

I'm not saying this kind of thing isn't impressive -- because, duh, it's amazing! I just don't think it should count as a record. Or at least it should have it's own category.

For me it just crosses a line between exploiting a side effect or minor bug, and... well, this.

If I could somehow glitch physics at the quantum level in real life, to instantly warp me to the finish line of a race, is it fair?

Is it in the _spirit_ of the race?

It'd be incredible, sure, and on paper, yes, you went from point A to B faster than a cheetah. But it's no longer a race concerning the physical fitness of the contestants. It's about systemic exploitation.

I guess this question bleeds into the idea of physical augmentation and enhancement, and quickly into some Deus Ex stuff, if you push it enough.

Love the hack, just pondering the ethics of it being a record.

This conclusion does not necessarily follow. You can use a very sophisticated computer model based on statistical mechanics that takes into account all particles in the system and their interactions and I can tell you it's wrong using a simple thermodynamic equation. Sometimes a problem is tractable because you get rid of details.
I think it's more of a case of "most electronics and everything that runs on it is not made in Europe". I'm a European posting on an American company's forum using a browser made in the US running on an operating system made by an American company running on a phone designed and built in China with components made in a variety of countries that aren't in Europe. The same goes for using a desktop PC. Even most of the websites you end up using aren't made in Europe.

And that's talking about the things that are already there. Looking into the future I don't see anything technology related on the horizon either.

The main technological thing that isn't like that is cars, but even there EVs from Tesla appear more innovative.

The same is likely true of Fortran, since Fortran code is shipped around with several Python data science libraries and included in R.

The screen is just a regular LG 4K 55" TV mounted on the wall which connects to the laptop docking station, allowing video conferences, slides, etc. to be "thrown" over there when it's convenient.

Eric Schmidt is an overrated dumbass. The US is still a powerhouse of innovation and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Ripping off IP from US companies who outsource to China does not count as "innovation". Allowing this to happen on a massive scale is the sole reason why "China was able to catch up" so quickly.

AI is an interesting one. On the one hand, paper output from China (as opposed to just Chinese authors who live in the US) has grown tremendously over the past decade, and there are even some truly great papers. On the other hand, there's a huge gaping moat between the stuff you find on Arxiv and GitHub and a practical, working AI-based system like a self-driving car or a robot. This moat is typically a trade secret - you won't find any hint of it in the papers. Moreover, it's often also very engineering-heavy, meaning researchers alone are not able to bridge this gap, and it takes a ton of time and money to do so. On top of that there's also the data moat, though to be fair, China is better positioned in this regard due to the abundance of inexpensive labeling workforce. Be that as it may, though, I haven't seen a ton of academic datasets coming from there in my field. Maybe they're keeping them for themselves. Maybe they just don't have them - there's no way to know. And finally, there's the people moat. An established AI researcher who can also write code worth a damn can pull down a cool million dollars a year in the US today. As a direct consequence, most of them are already here, and will remain here unless incentives catch up.

Will China get a tactical win here and there? Sure. Will the US remain at the distant forefront of real, hard-ass, capital-intensive progress? No doubt in my mind.

As an individual welfare recipient, my "ownership and control" of the welfare system is effectively zero.

The majority of people, who happen to have a job, who don't want to pay for people who do not have a job, but who also have no interest in more competition from the bottom, are effectively in control of the welfare system, immigration law, and many other regulations that prevent people from exercising their right to work. It's a racket.
> The implication being that without such laws, enslavement of children, poisoning and maiming of workers, and other horrors would be totally legal in America?

Perhaps you don't recall the number of years in which slavery was legal in the US?

Or the years in which child labor was actually used?

Or the years in which a 40 hour work week wasn't normal?

The only way I'm able to understand how ANYONE can believe everything would be hunky dory without labor laws is if they haven't been educated in the history of this country (or any other country).
