Yeah. In fact, the least I would expect from this article are some samples of "real/reconstructed", but as normally expected from journalists it is just a lot of words talking about some "controversy" and non-descriptive anecdotal poorly written detective stories instead of something of value.
> Why don’t the California regulators just regulate away all jobs that don’t pay a livable wage?

That’s what they did with AB5, and also decided to regulate lucrative freelance gigs while they were at it. The result however wasn’t that companies hired former contractors as employees; no they just farm all their freelance work to out of state freelancers.
Bingo

It really annoys me when they bitch about not being able to bring in skilled workers from overseas because they can't find skilled people here... Hey, maybe they should fucking train someone!

Usually when a tech boss is complaining about not having skilled staff locally it's code for "... I want to find someone cheaper overseas". It's like seeing a job ad that wants a wizard at everything but has terrible pay, they just want to import a cheaper worker.
I think this could work, although perhaps in combination, not replacement, with the traditional ranking system. The book on the bottom of somebody’s list isn’t necessarily a bad one.
I may be wrong, but something that you and I recognize as syntactic sugar may not be recognized as such by other, less experienced programmers.

So those programmers might just use the sugared approach and avoid the problem of writing past the end of an array, without ever knowing how tedious and/or difficult debugging such problems can be. They might sort of never even realize that they dodged a bullet simply due to some sugar.

How do you see it?
> large area into a wasteland, that will be uninhabitable for thousands of years

Did you see what happened to the Chernobyl area? What you get is not wastelands but a wonderful nature reserve (with a for wildlife insignificant increase in cancer rate) that no human dares to permanently invade. For the ones that love nature over humans (that have to resettle and suffer from the exposure) it’s not a bad outcome.
Interesting, thanks you.
One other issue here is the disparity of salaries of finance/software folks make vs other engineers. This has caused a lot of folks to not pursue careers in aerospace, chemical, mechanical etc and just get software or finance jobs.

It’s hard to justify not working for a FANG and taking a pay cut.

Of course. The multi billion dollar market is just too small for more than one company. Nvidia is just biding it’s time on ~20% market share until it can put the finishing moves on the other 9 major vendors.
I'd argue the 90k or so living on the street in a tent or their car in LA will be happy with any room of their own with a lock and some real privacy. That sort of housing is popular for the people who can afford an SUV to go in the driveway, but there are people who can't even afford any sort of housing right now.
I don't see that as a particularly "civilized" part of our society. More like pitchforks and torches than good governance.
Lower case liberal was meant as in Liberalism, the wider movement that came out of the Enlightenment and most certainly includes parties from "both sides". Traditional conservative parties are being rejected as well.

> doctors, scientists, and professionals within certain fields are "in on it" and part of some big conspiracy to do some vague, undefined thing that'll take down America and corrupt their children.

From my point of view I think that is a healthy reaction against technocracy, and it's not US-specific. Those "doctors, scientists, and professionals within certain fields" can't expect to take the decisions that influence the life of millions each and every day, with almost no over-sight, and then complain when people question those decisions.

"But science says that we should do that and that!" is not a valid enough reason anymore, because science has "said" lots of things that have been proved to be very bad to some parts of the populace (see eugenics, which has been demoted to "non-science" after the fact so that those technocrats that had tried to implement it could wash their hands off of it).

The article put in so much effort in all the wrong ways. Things were moving all over the place and there was no consistency between sections. I had to retrain myself every time I read another paragraph.

The only interesting parts for me were the interactive elements. This is the same article except much easier to read: https://readymag.com/designs/1961839/

For me, there are only 2 things that would make an article better to read.
1. Better, more concise writing.
2. Interactivity

And if the goal is read through rate then perhaps this method will work (if only because people are more likely to scroll blindly through an article to see all the animations). But if the goal is education then sometimes boredom is what's needed.
Adding screens and tech does not help people to vote, and does make untraceable hacking and distortion much easier. The fact that actual states like Georgia have apparently covered up real examples makes this part crucial.

> Impact on the body - prolonged unmoderated sitting in bad postures

Hey, this is me! I developed tendonitis in the shoulders from sitting in a lounge chair all day, and now I work with a physiotherapist who gave me funny looking exercises I do twice a day to retrain my body to get my hands behind my back (and other forms of shoulder mobility).

Part of what makes YouTube’s recommendation algorithm so powerful is that it doesn’t necessarily have to be very good. I scrolled through my recommendations just now and only found one video after scrolling through fifteen that I was interested in watching — but that’s fine, since it’s easy to decide if you might like a video based on its title, thumbnail, and creator.

However, if YouTube was as good at recommending books as it was recommending videos, I would never use its book recommendation algorithm. You necessarily have to get almost every book recommendation “correct” for it to be seen as actually useful by the user.

I don't think the average programmer is getting paid that (the AU equivalent) much here in Australia outside of maybe some companies in Melbourne and Sydney and maybe Adelaide.

iOS doesn't magically lose it's sandboxing and become Windows just because 3d party stores are allowed.
? Geniuses are wrong all the time.

In fact, anyone taking a speculative line of inquiry, with any vigour, will by definition, 'be wrong' probably quite a lot.

Especially if they have to pursue the subject alone, it with a million 'opponents' who are such due as much to ideology than anything else.

Every 'genius' you care to mention will have been 'very wrong' about many things, but because they were 'wrong' about issues that weren't politicized, we don't care.

Dyson is the opposite of a hack, and probably not ideological about whatever it is he wants to talk about ...

... these are exactly the kinds of geniuses we shouldn't mind 'being wrong'.

We need more Dysons, not fewer.
The pyrrhic victory, other than the Linux kernel, everything else is a mix of C++ and Java, with a native compiler written in C++.

And the history of Linux kernel and Android might come to an end if Zirkon ever replaces it, then it will be no more C on Android.
I definitely agree with your central point that anyone can use any ideology to endorse their own personal beliefs, but it also has to be said that giving the same weight to the feelings of a person versus actual fact, spoken by an expert, is the literal degradation of our society.
Probably depends whether or not there is a ski resort nearby to sustain property values. reasonably convenient lots to the resort would eventually all be infilled, at which point prices would surge exponentially. Otherwise it's an overpriced mountain lodge, and mountain lodge supply increases exponentially.

What is dismissive about it? There are a great many brilliant engineers who never do anything particularly novel.

In contrast, it is quite hard to be a brilliant scientist without doing something novel.
By removing all jobs that don’t pay a livable wage you essentially remove all jobs that low-skilled workers are working.

I don’t see how that would help the poor. Fighting poverty is done by giving the impoverished more opportunities, not less.

Simply put, regulating all jobs to pay a livable wage won’t make those jobs suddenly do so. It will instead make those jobs disappear, as the employer no longer making any money.
Like C++ on Windows, Arduino, ARM mbed, macOS,...
Sorry, no, that is not the dominant ideology of both parties. You didn’t say “both sides are the same” but you are equating neoliberalism with anti-science. Go bang that “neoliberals bad” drum somewhere else.

All observers observer all clocks to advance monotonically forward in time, regardless of their location or relative speed, unless the clock is moving at the speed of light. But the rate that each clock is observed to advance at depends on things like relative speed, acceleration, and the curvature of spacetime.

I'm a fan of military aircraft theories. Both videos are off the US coast in waters patrolled by military.

The perfect place to test something you don't want anyone else to find if it crashes. And over the ocean, the best place to test something radioactive.

I think nuclear drones could have this kind of physics defying performance. It's funny to think the US would build thousands of nuclear reactors, weapons, boats, but no planes. Especially when they were proven viable in the 60's.

There's nuclear planes out there. Probably drones. I'm sure of it

I have been coding TypeScript for the last 2 years, non-stop, which also shielded me from the surprise of the function's body getting stringified.

That'd likely tbe because most the rest of the developed world had been reduced to rubble.

Yes communication is important, but communication rarely needs to happen in the format the parent comment suggested. Unless the position involves working with sales or things like developer advocacy, the described approach seems unnecessary. Especially given the original question was asking for ways to create a great candidate experience.

Some developers are more comfortable with communicating via 1:1 conversations, design documents, proof of concept PRs, etc.

I've done a lot of public speaking and presenting, but am aware I am in the minority of developers. I've also managed a lot of people and many of them have struggled with self confidence and presenting to large groups. This has not been a reflection on their performance as an engineer.
Is there any correlation at all between increased school funding and better educational outcomes? For instance, Utah spends $5k per student per year while Baltimore spends $25k per student per year. Utahan children have higher graduation rates, better GPAs, and better standardized test scores. It's the same across the US from NYC to LA.

I'm growing more and more skeptical that throwing more and more money into the furnace that is the US education system is suddenly going to produce better outcomes. How much more must Baltimore spend? $30k a student? $50k a student? $100k a student? Where's the magic number?
Doesn't this put everyone on an equal footing? You can't take your client for golf or shake hands, but neither can your competitor.

Though I can imagine a scenario where it's equally bad for everyone. For example, if the client needs an in-person demo to understand how the widget works or to be convinced that it's useful, but no seller is offering an in-person demo, then the client may decide to not buy it from anybody.

Interesting analogy with pornography. Just replace 'horny' with 'angry' as the primary driving emotion and political news matches porn pretty well. Potentially exciting but ultimately vacuous. Harmless in theory, but causes harm in practice by distracting / diverting energy and action away from the real thing. Is sustained through novelty, which encourages producing extremes.

So that means the US has a big (political) porn addiction problem. Hey, it kinda works.

How are the serial numbers allocated? If I can predict the serial numbers used over a swath of land, I can replace a large number of ballots dropped in its boxes with my own that have the same serial number. Those I can't predict, I just deliver as-is.

I mean, I won't fault anyone if they are jaded and distrust everything the "experts" have to say these days. Look at what we witnessed in the last 20 or so years:

1. Iraq war, where our intelligence agencies were sure about WMDs and the senate voted 97-0 to wage a war that ended up wasting thousands of American lives, trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives along with destabilizing the entire region.

2. Financial crisis, where the so-called masters of the Universe from Wall St crashed the entire economy and the "maestro" Greenspan denied the existence of a housing bubble in 2005.

3. Recent revelations that scientific studies about the ill effects of sugar were suppressed in 60's / 70's and instead sugar lobby spent money on deflecting blame to fat.

4. Snowden revelations.

5. Details uncovered about the Harvard admissions process which show how the elites are favored via legacy or obscure sports admissions.

6. TPP, especially the way it was conducted where the elected representatives didn't have any access to the details of the negotiations, while the lobbyists from the key industries had full access.

You keep reading that kind of stuff and you start discounting "elite opinions" more and more.
Fox News has been doing this literally for decades, to the point where they have zero journalistic credibility anymore. CNN is rather tame by comparison.

Considering the method (and generously assuming these are not cherry-picked) I would call these pretty impressive. However, it seems that for practical purposes dispersion is large enough for it to be not that useful. I mean, if you have a reasonable set of suspects, this would help immensely, but basically to a degree that identifying race/ethnicity, age & sex would. Otherwise, it's a pretty generic GTA 3 character model, it would be hard to look for "somebody like that", when you know that the nose/face shape could turn out to be quite different.
If you actually know the target loci for whatever disease, it's a much more sensible prospect to just put the patient on a drug for life that inhibits whatever that mutation does. If the treatment turns out unsafe, you just take the patient off. With editing the genome you can't really go back if you find out after the fact that you screwed up. CRISPR is a great research tool, but I think in vitro fertilization is fine enough for catching congenital diseases.
Since powerful analysis tools aren't defined by ISO what they are supposed to be, there are plenty of C compilers that will never get them.

That's the point that your library's time_t reaches those values. But the point at which you will be 1.6Gs since the Unix v4 Epoch is in fact 27 seconds earlier, because your time_t hasn't counted the leap seconds over that period. To do that with Unix tools, you need to work with TAI timekeeping, not UTC, and remember that the (biased) zero point for TAI timekeeping is 10s before the Unix v4 Epoch.

Also, your figures for 0.0Gs and 0.1Gs are nonsense anyway.

Unix didn't adopt this Epoch and method of timekeeping until 4th Edition, somewhere in 1974 according to Unix historians. Yes, it's tricky to pin down the exact date of adoption. The Epoch was changed every year before then, as earlier versions of Unix measured time in 60ths of a second since the start of the year. This has made reconstructing Unix history from tape archives non-trivial. If you want to count seconds since the start of the first Unix Epoch, in 1st Edition, you have to count from the start of 1971. And no, that's not the same as how old Unix is.

(And yes, those values for 2023 onwards are somewhat speculative, as there will no doubt be more leap seconds.)
Who are you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?
Only on platforms where UNIX is the name of the game.
A reminder that Google's revenues come almost completely from ad technology that they bought (from Doubleclick, IIRC). Google has stuck its fingers into hundreds of pies since then, to its credit, and has found that innovation is difficult, unpredictable, and expensive.

Careful with generalizations like that. You're forgetting the most important reason anyone uses a language:

It's the one they know.

A C programmer isn't automatically going to switch to Rust for new projects that they would use C for, unless their goal is to use Rust.
