At my current company, we're experimenting with adding a market rate salary review component to our regular performance review cycle - we have a target salary percentile (based on years of experience, skillset, location, etc with aggregate market data from PayScale) for where we start new hires in a given role, and if for whatever reasons the market shifts upwards and leaves someone on staff below the new-hire percentile, we adjust upwards. We hope that regular pay increases, incentives, etc mean nobody's compensation ever falls lower than market rate after they're hired, but we also want to make sure we have a mechanism in place to correct if it does.
They're enzymes, not bacteria. Which might also mean that it will be difficult to scale up production.

> That's not how retail works...they allocate shelf space based on actual sales.

Thanks for explaining what goes on behind the scenes! I don't have the terminology for this since I'm not in the domain, so what is it called when a Wal-Mart or Home Depot or grocery chain purchasing department selects a vendor for a product, but will not consider another similar vendor, because physical shelf space is finite? For example, I see Lincoln welding machines, but not Miller, Fronius, or some white label from China at Home Depot, and every Home Depot has the same amount of shelf space set aside for welding machines, but all Lincoln. There isn't even experimentation with an alternative brand with one model.

Based upon your description, that finite physical limitation is not able to be strategically used by incumbents to take the oxygen out of the room for other vendors. One way to suck the oxygen out is to sell more. But if I'm an incumbent, and I get a chance to sell exactly the same product in house brand packaging for slightly less margin with a greater chance that a competitor won't get to see the same shelf, I'll take those reduced margins all day long. For a marginal loss in profit, I block shelf space without having to grow my sales by some commensurate amount to take up the same blocked shelf space. So why won't that work in the real world?

The Collatz Conjecture: the simple math problem we still can’t solve
Meanwhile I can’t believe Apple went to the trouble of an entirely new FS without implementing BTRFS style block-level checksums. The number of data corruption issues this could have prevented by now are too high to count. Not to mention there is a direct monetary incentive for Apple to do so, as it slightly inflates storage requirements at the cost of safety (and apple commonly stratifies their products by storage capacity). It’s 2020, we need ECC RAM and block level checksums for all new platforms going forward.

A middle ground could be nice: An IDE extension that notifies you when something you're writing will conflict in the future, should you and your coworker both commit and push what you've typed out. It would allow you to sort that out immediately, or at least plan ahead, rather than being surprised by a large merge conflict n days down the road.

Not excited about this. Using APFS on my MacBook Pro, fighting a losing battle today where a file stored in an iCloud synced folder isn’t readable.

First I try to copy the file out of the iCloud sync folder to a local folder that doesn’t sync. No change.

Then, I go onto iCloud.com and download the file. The downloaded file shows up and works as expected. I ctrl + c then ctrl + command + v to move it into the local folder I had created.

Now, according to finder, I have two files with the same name. One is readable and the other is not.

I cannot delete either.

I’ll be playing with the terminal next to see if anything can be done there.
Yes but my post that you were responding to was a response to that comment specifically. I appreciate your comments here, I just want to make that clear.
It would still be incompatible with v3, wouldn't it?
So sorry to hear that.
The comment I was originally responding to said "Has anybody needed more [digits in pi] than 3.14?" and "NASA's rocket trajectories are less precise than [one part in a thousand]", both of which I take issue with. You then stepped in to defend those statements against my objections. I'm glad it turns out you don't actually agree with those statements, but hopefully you can see my confusion.

> In general though things are a mess.

That's because we're dealing with malicious actors. They actively fight any attempt to make things better.

> Websites used to prompt for adding notifications, which was a pain, but now they put some HTML on screen instead to prompt for notifications, since to be friendly/secure it was decided user-interaction would be required to bring up the prompt for notifications.

The popups for adding notifications have an additional reason for being: it's because if you deny the request that's displayed by the browser/system API, the site can't ask you again. Meanwhile, if you deny their in-site/in-app popup, they get to try again. And again. And again.

> So websites still have harassing notifications prompts, just on the page instead of in the browser.

That's because they want to harass you. That's the whole point. And that's why I call these actors malicious.

> And cookie and gdpr notifications.

These are another cases in point. The way cookie laws and GDPR are structured, if you're not doing anything shady or malicious, you don't have to show any popup! You only need the popup if you really badly want to do something most of your users would prefer you don't.

The problem boils down to: most sites and apps you encounter want to abuse you in one way or another (most commonly, funnel you into a deal that's good for them but not necessarily for you, learn everything they can about you and pass it on to third parties, and/or shove ads in your face). This is not solvable at a protocol, or web standard level. It's, unfortunately, a cat and mouse game.
Computer Science Papers That Changed the Way I Code
Former students too.

Talk to them, and look up what they're doing. If a lot of former students ended up where you see yourself in 10 years, that's a great sign. If a lot of former students are in dead-end careers, that's a bad sign.

Of course, that discriminates against tenure-track faculty, but avoiding tenure-track faculty is good advice too. Tenured professors have the luxury of being able to care about you. Tenure-track need to do what it takes to succeed.

I need it to be a first-class feature because I’m a baby. My #1 complaint with C++ is that they make everything a lower-class feature to avoid breaking backwards compatibility and it makes the language more verbose, less enjoyable, and less intuitive.

All that said, I’m personally okay with the decision to omit typeclasses since the language is meant to compete with C, not C++.
Perhaps they had finite capital to start with.
Thank you, came to say something similar. This is basically Machiavellian corporate politics, by someone clearly bitter at the way the system works.

The bit I found useful in there is the idea that the people who don't care about quality still might care about promotion ­- for some people it's just a job, and for others skipping on quality is a way to be seen to produce a lot of quantity. It's easy to see how 1000 lines per day is probably going to get you promoted in a hurry, regardless of whether there are twice as many bugs in that code than the average of the code base and twice as much code as there needs to be. Those multipliers make a massive difference in the long run, but are probably too small to detect in individual commits.

From the complaint, it was OTM calls and puts, but it seemed like they were trying to decide how much to go in.

> 42. Prior to the completion of Bohra’s initial review, her Husband had purchased 500 Amazon shares in put options in his account on January 8. These put options had an expiration date of February 16, 2018, and they represented his expectation that Amazon’s stock price would fall by that date.

> 48. During this same period, Bohra’s Husband sold the put options that were held in
his account and instead purchased both Amazon common stock and Amazon call options in his account as well as accounts belonging to Bohra’s Father-in-Law and Bohra’s Mother-in-Law, now betting that Amazon’s stock price would increase.

> On the morning of January 22, 2018, Bohra’s Husband again logged in from his home and sold the 500 Amazon shares in put options that were in his account and replaced them with a purchase of 1,000 Amazon shares in call options. That afternoon, Bohra’s Husband logged in from his workplace to purchase 4,000 Amazon shares in call options in his account; 2,000 Amazon shares in the same call options in one of Bohra’s Mother-in-Law’s accounts; 1,000 Amazon shares in the same call options in another of Bohra’s Mother-in-Law’s account and 1,000 Amazon shares in the same call options in Bohra’s Father-in-Law’s account. The call options purchased that afternoon had the same strike price and expiration date.

> 51. Over the next few days, Bohra’s Husband and Bohra’s Father-in-Law continued to purchase Amazon common stock and call options, selling call options they had purchased on January 22 and 23 and replacing them with new call options at higher strike prices that they purchased on January 24, 25, and 26, and on February 1.

> 53. By the time that Amazon’s fourth fiscal quarter and year end 2017 earnings was
11 announced on February 1, 2018, Bohra’s Husband and Bohra’s Father-in-Law had spent more than $850,000 on purchasing Amazon call options and common stock in order to trade, at least in part, based on the material nonpublic information that Bohra had provided.

> 56. On February 1, 2018, after the market closed, Amazon announced its fourth fiscal quarter and year end 2017 earnings. The next day, February 2, 2018, Amazon’s stock price increased 2.87% over the prior day’s closing price.

> 58. In total, accounts belonging to Bohra’s Husband, her Father-in-Law, and her
10 Mother-in-Law made a profit of approximately $664,000 by trading Amazon common stock and Amazon call options ahead of Amazon’s fourth fiscal quarter and year end 2017 earnings announcement.

Surely they are two absolutely different things with different goals. Nobody was talking about reducing the total number of cases, where did you get this idea from?

Just look at any article when the idea of “flattening the curve” entered the news, e.g. https://www.nytimes.com/article/flatten-curve-coronavirus.ht...

Drew Harris, a population health analyst at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia that is cited in this NYTimes article, has said:

>Important to remember that #Covid-19 epidemic control measures may only delay cases, not prevent.

and

>Without a vaccine, eventually everyone is likely to be exposed to the virus. Some won't get sick, some will have mild illness, some severe, and a few will die. The goal is to put this off for as long as possible so we have time to prepare and spread out the surge of cases.

The author (Anne Helen Peterson) actually writes extensively about burnout and work-life balance; I think in this particular article, she’s perhaps overemphasizing her “helplessness” with these boundaries for the sake of the point.

Although, like you say, setting and enforcing boundaries is much easier said than done.

This isn't about what's economically efficient, it's about what certain societies think is well spent money.

I've plugged this collaboration project a few times recently, and have no relationship to it other than discovering it (via YJS' "who is using" list[1]) and finding it fascinating:

http://cattaz.io/

What I find most interesting about it is that it has reduced the state of multiple 'smart' user-facing widgets/apps into a common, lowest-common-denominator format (a text document) that lends itself more easily and intuitively to collaborative editing and CRDT operations.

I don't know for sure whether this is the path forward for CRDT-based applications in general, but I think there are valuable ideas there. It does raise the possibility of the widgets/applications occasionally being in 'invalid' states; but rarely in a way that the human participants wouldn't notice or be able to fix themselves.

Whether that scales to the complexity of the state management for a multi-track audio editing session, I don't know; but it could be instructional to compare.

I don't really understand this. This seemed like a great feature. This is like when YouTube got rid of the text boxes that could be added to videos.
Somewhat related, I've just been reading a summary [0] of a lecture by physicist/mathematician Stephen Wolfram on his quest to find the Program That Runs The Unverse.

An excerpt:

"Wolfram goes off onto something else. He talks about searching through the space of possible computer programs, for ones of a certain type that can solve problems, rather than the having to go through the labor of humans programming something for a specific task. His meaning is more than a little unclear here. Wolfram says we're constrained to follow historical patterns of engineering, to only create things such that we have designed them with an understanding of what they will do. Nature, he says, doesn't have this constraint. Alright, this make more sense. He's talking about mining all potential programs, including useful ones that we ourselves might not have thought of. That's quite an idea, and sounds like no small task to actually perform it.

Now he's bringing it in the direction I thought he would — comparing the search among the space of possible programs to natural selection, which is the natural equivalent of searching the space of possible biological programs. Now Wolfram is talking about whether we can search for our physical universe among the space of possible universes, and he's going still another level "meta."

--

etc etc

But doesn't a search in general program space almost immediately result in a combinatorial explosion?

How on Earth are we supposed to find these programs that Wolfram dreams about?

I think Zig competes with C++, too. But to match the expressivity of C++ you don't necessarily need to have the exact same features. C++ gives you control over generics with concepts, and Zig does it differently -- with introspection, which is very much a first-class feature. If Zig wanted to achieve what other languages do in the same way they do it, it wouldn't be radical. Instead, it offers a different way. When comparing two languages, especially those designed with drastically different aesthetics, you don't ask how easily can an expression in one language be translated to the other, but how easy it is to achieve similar general goals.

See my quotes from the complaint. They definitely seemed to have transacted a lot, made a decent amount of money, but they mustn’t have been that out of the money (they put in like $800k to make another $600k, so they probably traded in the money but with upside).

I don't know Florence Nightengale has to do with this discussion.

As a percentage of new nurses it is true that more males are going into nursing, but many of the traditionally male working class jobs have disappeared in the United States. This alone could account for the increase in male nurses over the last 10 years, though I do think it is also cultural to some degree. The numbers we are talking about are like 15% of new nurses being male instead of 5%. I would be surprised if this growth doesn't level off in the next decade and hold steady for decades to come.
