You can't be serious with that question. Over 30 people have been murdered in riots and related activity over the past 3 months. Riots are coordinated and sustained using Twitter. Most recent high profile case was Jay Danielson, murdered in cold blood in Portland by Michael Reinoehl. But there are dozens of others. Just a couple of days ago 2 cops were shot in their car.
It’s a pretty powerful psychological motivator - if I change into my gym clothes there’s no way I’m not working out - imagine going through the trouble to change into your gym clothes and then changing back out without doing anything. To me it’s almost unimaginable.
We looked at the xml->xsl-fo->pdf route, and decided instead to use dblatex->LaTeX->pdf (starting from a slightly modified DocBook XML, which therefore required additional rules in dblatex). We were very satisfied with the result, and were able to do a lot with LaTeX style sheets, including a substantial change in output format when we moved to a different publisher.

I should add that our documents were not run-of-the-mill: they were grammars, and sometimes included non-Roman fonts (Bangla) and right-to-left text (Arabic and Thaana scripts). A lot of things came together at just the right time, like XeTeX (think Unicode-aware LaTeX) and good Nasta'liq fonts. Most people don't have those problems :-).
The world has the exactly the same concerns towards the USA based companies.

I am confident that I will get my money back too, it will just take some time. PayPal even called me on my phone to ask details about the case, so it's definitely in progress.

But there is a thread on the PayPal forums and a lot of people don't have the luck I have - https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Disputes-and-Limitations...

It's hard to believe that this seller is able to play PayPal like this though. There must be dozens over dozens of claims against the same vendor at this point.

Keep in mind that nowadays Google does not always gives exactly the same answers to the same question asked by different users, it takes into account their query history as well. It might happen that Google built different associations for word in query for you and for other people... that's especially likely for topic that you're an expert in (meaning you likely did a lot of Google searches on related issue in the past).

About $450k all in (not FAANG but a mid sized public company in SF I'm sure you've heard of). Fwiw, it wasn't a terrible living space before the pandemic; it just isn't conducive to WFH situations. I'd found that rent controlled spot, and I was paying $1100/mo for a room in an apartment with a backyard, in-unit washer/dryer, and a dishwasher. As a single dude, I really didn't need anything else, I wasn't willing to pay $4000 or whatever for a 1BR, and I just hate moving.

Of course, times have changed, and I think I'll move soon.

But yeah, to your point, pre-Covid SF was absurd in terms of cost of living, and the current exodus just shows how unsustainable it was.
Yep, clean and well structured
Agreed. Not perfect but much better than nothing.
3d games were cheaper than Sierra style adventure games because those style games were moving towards lots of voice acting and full-motion-video. The 7th guest came out around the same time as doom, needed two cd-roms and cost $1 million to make (the biggest video game budget at that time). Phantasmagoria came out two years later, had cost $4.5 million and needed seven discs (8 for the Japanese Saturn release). Doom fit on four floppies and wasn't expensive to make (but I can't find a number).

Of course, today's game budgets are huge --- detailed 3d models are expensive, and FMV cutscenes are nearly mandatory. And games have expanded to 10s of gigabytes.
I understand the ideal of it, but the main reason why it doesn't work is simple supply and demand. Your employment opportunity will seem compelling for folks that live in LCOL areas, or folks trying to escape HCOL. But for the 5x as many programmers that live in HCOL areas, your pay isn't competitive.

If you want to reduce your candidate pool by 70 or 80%, by all means, go for it, but there's a clear market reason why folks are paid geographically.
> Should the algorithm only show you left-leaning political posts because that's what you like, or should it optimize for you engaging with a broader variety of content but maybe increase your dissatisfaction.

They should give that control to the user. Users should have the ability to select how much diversity they want and then provide feedback later to the content for the AIs to iteratively understand better, just like in Google news, Youtube.
In addition to that, a report analysing the user's engagement with content and topics, for the user to reflect upon.

> talk about designers

I think this is the main issue here. You think this is about designers. It wasn't. I literally only use that word once, and I use it in the abstract. I consider anyone with input into a product as one of the "product's designers". They don't literally have to have that as their job description. A good example is someone like Alan Kay, whom I also cite. I use a lot of "we" and "us", to refer to the tech industry collectively. I never draw a line between engineers and designers.

> It wasn't clear from your article that you were attempting to show a progression or highlight the history of these sorts

I attempt nothing of the sort. I just chose the product I thought people would most associate with infinite scroll. FB, which by raw numbers is much larger than Instagram/TikTok/Twitter, and had an infinite scroll in front of hundreds of millions (billions?) of people even before TikTok was started, seemed like the most obvious example. And so I say "products like Facebook". Maybe MySpace had an infinite scroll first, idk, but MySpace isn't used by billions of people.

> How did you come to the conclusion that this is pervasive throughout the industry?

There's enough argument in the overall comment thread with some people saying "oh, when people say that, it isn't literal" and people responding "well, actually, I've encountered sometimes when it is". I think that proves that is does happen, and not just to me.
Actually, I think my solution is more universally workable. You're overestimating how many teachers will have suitably reflective CDs on hand and underestimating how many will have small mirrors on hand.
Normally I'd agree but there's something weird about social media that brings out the worst in people. It's kind of automatically polarizing and divisive.

Imagine a system that allows third-party login (Facebook / AppleID / whatever) - then the account has either a username/password hash or an oauth token or some other kind of structured data.

Subscription vs free trial - they're different kinds of thing, but you want to store more details (e.g. expiry date) than just an enum of one or the other.
> So you're extrapolating a general principle

If it is a general principle, it doesn't matter the specific application. That's the whole point of abstract thinking. But you don't seem to care about that. So, let's go back at the comment from OP:

I work in old industry and the supply chain guys as well as finance is having a boner from the idea of moving their crufty systems to blockchain.

They are the ones holding the purses. Not "consumers who DGIF". It's not retail that is going to drive the adoption of better tech in the industry, it's the large purchasers who will make everything possible to increase their margins.

> This sort of attitude is part of why folks generally sneer at BlockChain enthusiasts.

Again, I will borrow the words from OP:

But (Blockchain) - like the internet - it's just a fad that will soon pass.

My google-fu has failed me now, but I'd love to find a link to a story about a MS executive who thought that the idea that "internet search was stupid. People will just bookmark the sites they use more often and start navigating from there."

I will say this in the nicest way possible: your head is so stuck inside the box of the status quo and their current issues that you are not even able to contemplate a thought outside of it. You are dismissing something that can disrupt entire industries because the current implementation is not good enough. The moment that you stop thinking in a static way, perhaps you won't calling everyone "naive enthusiasts".

> Are you aware that there are more choices than "status quo" and BlockChain?

Sure there are! Yet none of the things you present as choices actually (a) solve the problem of coordinating work and attesting validity of information in a global scenario with competing actors and (b) have the potential to be automated/scaled to eliminate a lot of human intervention in the way that blockchain does. You are talking about big firms, big contracts, CYA agreements and certifications whose costs can not reduce with scale. How do you want me to believe that this is going to compete with technology that will be exponentially cheaper and simpler to operate and deploy?

Facebook being used to inflame ethnic hatred in poor countries was big news several years ago in Myanmar. Via https://www.lawfareblog.com/facebooks-role-genocide-myanmar-...

Alongside this developing body of evidence and consensus about the crimes that have been committed in Myanmar, debate has raged over Facebook’s role in these events. In recent months, Facebook has taken steps to accept its role and responsibility. In a surprising concession before the Senate intelligence committee in September 2018, Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg even accepted that Facebook may have a legal obligation to take down accounts that incentivize violence in countries like Myanmar. Sandberg called the situation “devastating” and acknowledged that the company needed to do more, but highlighted that Facebook had put increased resources behind being able to review content in Burmese.

Note that Facebook was aware the problem of being unable to review content in Burmese several years ago. The new Vice article points out that the same pattern is repeating itself in other parts of the world, and Facebook can't even handle the basics of translating its own community guidelines.

How hard can that be for a company with Facebook's resources?
Well – Craigslist and Wikipedia come to mind as counter-examples but it is rare.

Nah. Even were I a junior employee, I could go work at any company offering a six figure salary and continue to live comfortably without roommates in SF. Rent is exorbitant but you still end up with half your post-tax software engineer salary as disposable income.
First off, let me say that I have happily WFH for a few years now. I'm not opposed to it. It works for some people.

However, this is likely a problem that will get worse, not better, over time. The early WFH experience was able to cruise on the office connections, cross-training, personal knowledge, team-building, etc. that had happened previously. The longer people are away from the office, the more that hard-to-quantify stuff will decay. Plus, onboarding a new college grad has got to be challenging when there's not a group of experienced team members around them to be able to see when they're struggling or headed off the wrong path without realizing it.

All of these problems can be mitigated, but they won't be eliminated. There will always be some positions and employees where WFH makes sense; as I said, it has often worked for me. But the idea that half or even a quarter of employees would become permanently WFH, is fantasy. It's kind of like having a long-distance relationship. You can do it for a while, but the penalty mounts over time in ways that are hard to quantify, but real nonetheless.
Doesn't matter. About 5 years ago I sold a thing on Amazon, shipped it, and the buyer claimed the box was empty. I had photos of the item, the box, and the shipping confirmation came through Amazon's own systems. I even had messages from the buyer about the item. Amazon refunded the buyer his $250 and charged me $250. That was the last thing I ever sold on Amazon, and I also didn't buy anything on the site again until this year.
Could they have chosen a more inane data point? These companies hire one person for the job of three people, underpays them for the number of years they squeeze from their stressed lives, then spits out the ones that can’t handle the hazing.
People should work in the way that suits the job they're paid to do best. At some workplaces, you need to be present in the office because the company, for various business reasons, has not invested in developing the necessary structures to make effective and well-directed remote work possible. At some workplaces, they have done so.

I prefer working from home, I'm happier doing so, and my boss says I'm even more productive than usual (and he hasn't been concerned about my productivity, and my boss's boss expressed concerns about me working too hard and hitting burnout in our last in-person one-on-one). But my company, organizationally, is not set up this way and we were dragged into it unprepared in March. I'm doing very well on the things where I know how to work autonomously, and I have a good-sized backlog, but at some point I'll run out, and once we're back in the office, I'm going to want to be around for all of the "distractions" and "socialization" that help me develop a good idea of what I should be working on. It does the company no good - and it does me no good, come performance review season - to be highly productive at the wrong thing.

And the "diversity" argument doesn't work here. You need to pick one context where things happen, unless you want to effectively run multiple companies. Either you go remote-first and you adopt the Apache-style policy of "if it didn't happen on the mailing list, it didn't happen," or the folks who are seeing each other in person will chat in person, come up with ideas in person, make decisions in person, consult each other for design reviews in person, etc. and cut the remote workers out of the loop.

Now, yes, I think my company probably should develop the structures needed to work remotely, but I'm aware that's a self-serving belief. I genuinely don't know if my company has enough people who have the "discipline" (in your words; I might also add "lack of roommates, spouse, or children") that this switch is the right thing for the company. It's rather like my position on whether my company should pay me more: I'm not going to argue that I don't want the money, since it would certainly be good for me, but there is certainly some finite salary level where it's no longer in the business's interest to do so.

No, poor antialiasing makes the glyph look bolder. Specifically, drawing the antialiased text without taking into account screen gamma causes that.

I cannot tell you how gratifying it is to see my words described as "rational."

Many technologists have a Right-Libertarian bent which rests on a fundamentally irrational trust in the ethics of the private firm, as a reflective validation of their own unimpeachable ethics. In short, they hate to be reminded that private corporations are unaccountable, and dangerously unethical. It can make it very hard to sleep at night.

Edit: I mean, there are probably other factors at play, too.

This is a great comment

I think it's increasingly clear that blanket policies and one-size-fits-all WFH plans are just not going to work. People may gripe, but it seems like WFH is not going to be for everybody, in every position, at every stage in their careers. Hell, it might not even be feasible depending on the project you're working on this year.
What is "R-V"? Please use correct non-ambiguous terminology.

The press release says nothing, but 740 suggest it's based on the 74 which is a dual issue core with the vector extension. The latter is a big deal (basically doubles the silicon area for one metric), but ISTM that it's not the OoO core, so not in the same class as eg. BOOM.

> Why would it be surprising to find bacteria next door?

No one said it would be surprising (though it would to a great many people), the point is that it would require a LOT of assumptions about how life develops to get us to that point whereas human ignorance is the sole assumption we need to make to assume that these measurements are not life-related.

I think life is everywhere in the universe and that we will find that it descends along a great many entropic pathways in a great many frames of reference. But I also believe any given hint of life is more likely than not going to be related to human error, only because we have so many assumptions we need to make until we understand the underlying processes better.
