I assume landlords would want some sort of automatic standing payment set up so they get paid daily.

If daily UBI was implemented then society will find a way to take the money easily and at low/minimal cost (automated, immediate online bank transfers are free in Europe for many years now). I think landlords would be quite happy as it is guaranteed, no worrying if the person is employed or not.

However back to the original concern about people just spending all this money and having nothing left for essentials, a daily payment still has this problem (ie imagine paying all your UBI on rent with nothing leftover for food, transport, healthcare etc).

People are finally starting to realize that benefits are orthogonal to the mission of the company and should be replaced with increased base salaries instead. If the company spends $X on processing your $Y benefit for a year, your salary would increase by $X + $Y, and you would just (optionally) sign up into whatever programs are available to you, without much of a UX change.
Not a impossibility but there's nothing to support this. Unsupported accusations are just conspiracy theories without a cult following behind them [yet].
Consider this: Person A calls for a total ban on abortion. person B calls this person a misogynist.

[Now I don’t know if this has ever happened (usually I don’t call people misogynists unless they talk about women as objects) but let’s go with this]

We can rephrase this as: Person A says pregnant people should be forced to undergo their pregnancy. Person B says this person in misinformed in an insulting manner.

What might have even happened in this discussion (we are just being theoretical here, right, so we can entertain, right? Or at least we don’t want this topic to be off limits right?) is the following: Person A actually said: “If it were up to women, humanity would be extinct in a generation. Women are evil, and we should not grant them any rights, particularly not the right to determine the birth of their children”. Person B responds: “I’m glad you’ve shown your bigoted misogynistic face. Now we all know what kind of a person you are, and whether we should keep listening to you. Do your self a favor and keep these opinions to your self unless you want to keep embarrassing your self”.

Who here is guilty of shutting down the debate? Who here decided that talking about abortion rights is “off topic”?

Now person B most certainly suggested that person A shouldn’t continue this debate. They also definitely insulted person A. But is anything here in their response surprising? Did they do anything wrong? How about we look at person A in this context? Do we want people like that expressing their opinion? Person B might have insulted person A, and hoped they would leave and never come back, but person A was insulting all women and calling for a whole group of people to have their decisions dictated by other people.

So why am I taking this example? It is obviously an exaggeration and not specifically what we are taking about here. But for all I know this is the kind of conduct that many people say us “lefties” are doing when we “mark a topic off limits”.

Ancestor’s point was this exactly, many people claim that us lefties want to shut down the topic because we get offended by everything. But do we? Are we maybe just behaving in a completely rational way, insulting back people that have insulted us? Asking people to stop that are threatening us, our friends, or people that we know exist?

---

PS: Off course in your example there is another qualifier there: “using federal funds for abortion”. People might have many reason disagree with that including being for forced pregnancies. But now the goalpost has been moved a little hasn’t it? So I took the liberty of moving it in the other direction my self. You provided an example that has probably never happened in reality, so I provide a counter example that also probably never happened, sounds fair?

I was on a call with an education technologist, and I noticed she had a very good trick for keeping the flow of communication going while expressing her agreement. Instead of saying "uh-huh" at regular intervals (which can interrupt the flow because of audio lag), she would just give thumbs-up to show her agreement. I've started doing this as well and have found that it precludes a lot of the "oh no — oh, I was just going to say yes I understand" comments that often happen in video calls.

In my experience, both personally and as a mentor to a number of "jack of all trades", (1) is good practical advice for jr generalists.

The OP appears to have significant experience already, and it does seem suboptimal to masquerade as a specialist in all job hunts, when that's not the real value you bring to the table.

Its leaning on the third clause of the full text of the quote: "jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one"... in other words, become a stronger specialist at one thing than most of the specialists in that area. That's great, and some of us can do it, but we're still not as strong as a specialist of our strength. It means you always interview as if you're a couple weight classes below where you actually are.

That's a practical compromise for a person starting out, but like the OP, with enough seniority, and the tremendous value that an experienced generalist provides, it feels bad to lean on that leg in all interview situations!
More effort needs to be put into porting existing GUI APIs to rust. Port UIkit, port Flutter. These APIs people already know. Electron is popular largely for this reason.

Or do we just enjoy reinventing the wheel?
Isn't it still just "a series of steps to solve a problem", but just in a little broader sense?

E.g. if your problem would be how to rate a person's need for social housing, you probably would apply some objective parameters to that. You are trying to get a binary answer that ideally selects all people who would need such a thing and leaves out all the others, without having much false negatives or false positives.

Unlike in the traditional algorithm definition this involves bureaucratic and legal steps, some of which can be a bit handwavey and have their outcome depend on world image and daily form of the individual "processor" who was tasked to carry them out (better not have your task run right before the lunch break by grumpy Edwald). In other cases the step might be more of the nature "insert numbers in that one Excel sheet some wizard built aeons ago and now nobody understands".

An algorithm however doesn't need to be a good algorithm or entirely deterministic to fit the definition of "algorithm". It is a series of steps carried out to solve a problem. A cooking recipe.

>Also, I think commenting on voting activity is considered bad form here.

OK, sorry if it was a personal attack.

As far as the actual commenting on downvotes - well, if such downvotes are in support/defense of obvious signs of mental illness (e.g. the exact term in this case is "learned helplessness") then I will point that out even if it is against the HN culture.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness

Medical reality trumps culture any time, at least for me.

>Whether I'm /s or not is, frankly, immaterial. My comment is true de facto.

It actually matters, a lot. If a significant portion of the population acquires "learned helplessness" that will in and of itself lead to collapse. I have to ask - does this approach work for you? Namely, being disengaged from life and trying forcing yourself to enjoy it when it is quite obvious things are pretty bad right now? So bad in fact, that 1 in 4 young Americans are seriously contemplating suicide - an "unraveling" of the social fabric?

I respectfully disagree with your point. This is trying to force a middle ground when the reporting here is straightforward: the company is untrustworthy. They announced no crunch earlier this year, and now they’re breaking their promise.

Hearing from developers happy with their employer lying to them in front of the whole world would only serve to pretend a company breaking a promise is A-OK. It’s not.

You’re leaping from “coercive religion dogma is bad for mental health” (I’ll accept that for the sake of argument) to “faith based charity is bad”. I don’t see how that follows. Seeing as you go to Church for utilitarian reasons, I don’t understand why you would condemn a faith based charity for trying to offer some sort of spiritual sustenance to the people they serve.
I think references play a stromg role here. Every reference may be positive but there can be a noticeable difference between positively describing someome who knows everything and someone who does everything.

Also for jack-of-all trades looking to perform well in interviews, my advice is to engage context specific memory. If it's a Python role set up a past Python project on your computer and dig into it a little bit in the minutes before getting on the phone. Your Python mind will come back a little bit.

> Anything will "cause cancer" if your idea of causality is an observation of cancer in a small-N, high dose uncontrolled study in inbred rodents

Is this a specific study? If so please link it so we can get on the same page. I think specifics ought to help in a discussion of this sort, in which swings between polarities like "overblown warnings" and "no warnings whatsoever" are a risk. Either polar end seems to come with big downsides.

Regarding coffee, what I'm reading is:

- A judge in LA required a warning

- The state regulators stepped in and made a clear exemption for coffee after this requirement by the judge

- No coffee warning is required now

Not so?

You’re talking about _illegal immigration_.

Legal immigrants, which is the majority and the ones generally designed by the word “immigrants” (without qualitatif), aren’t being deported. Legal and illegal immigrations are two different topics (social, political, economical), it doesn’t really make sense to mix them.

Also I’m an immigrant myself and argue for some level of immigration control, and that’s the case for every single expat I know.
Rose by any other name... Amnesty India has not been convicted of any FCRA violation. India has frozen Amnesty's bank accounts without any judicial oversight making sure Amnesty India cannot function normally.

FCRA was amended with a specific aim in mind. Hindu Nationalist groups have been vocal about religious conversions. FCRA was recently used to target 4 Christian organizations and choke their foreign funding [1].

It is a witch-hunt specifically because Amnesty was harassed by Delhi Police about why they were probing Delhi Religious Riots 2020 and had released the report about the Police excesses in the same? It was after this that Delhi Police targeted Amnesty using FCRA law. [2]

Amnesty India's former head put it succintly: "It has become a crime to work on human rights in India." "Amnesty has not been convicted. It has not even been put on trial in court. Shutdown refers to inability to pay salaries because accounts frozen for second time without any determination of guilt." [3]

FCRA is just bureaucratic powerslam without going through courts to target organization that asks for transparency. India joins highly regarding company of Russia in pushing Amnesty from their country.

Worth is an interesting thing. I wrote and published a very niche book that was, for all intents, a mind dump of my experiences doing a particular volunteer, non-tech job over a three year time span (now eight). The value to me was the cleansing nature of putting it all down on paper.

I knew I was never going to get rich from it, but felt the many hours I spent doing this job would be wasted if I did not make an effort to pass along to others what had been learned. That it sells 200 copies every year still amazes me.

Just basic, stable support for OpenGL / Vulkan. My reading from ~January of this year was that there were several competing methods for graphics support in Rust. I tried a few and the boilerplate was quite a bit more than expected, and I was unsuccessful getting the available samples to run on my Linux machine.

Admittedly, I know nothing about what's actually going on behind the scenes when it comes to graphics + Rust. Just my first impressions as an outsider. I found the existing libraries quite difficult to get started with.

(I'm someone who doesn't know much Rust and is waiting for some of this functionality to mature -- someone already invested in Rust is certainly in a better position to take advantage of the existing graphics support)

I think it was a fair assumption by Epic to assume that Sign in with Apple would stop working when their Developer Account was terminated. SIWA is tied to a Developer Account.

My guess is Apple quickly did some work or made an exception so Epic could keep authenticating users.
You say that proudly? You'll judge a developer based on petty preferences, and then not do them the favor of telling them as much?

I like your idea on not just having an alt but actively cycling through new ones once they've been in use for a while.

Any other steps you've taken ?
kinda stating the obvious but it's hard to find a jack of all trades role because typically, if you need to hire for three roles, you look for three distinct individuals.

if you're looking for the rare individual who transcends categorization, you don't do it through job ads or an HR department. it's hard enough to find a person who can do one role well.

so, if you're a jack of all trades, look for a job fulfilling one of your many possible roles, in a place where you will be able to fulfill the others as well. it sounds like that's exactly how you got the job you have.

One thing this article doesn’t mention is that the two font file formats used on the web (TTF/OTF and WOFF) can’t contain more than 65,536 glyphs. Which I suspect is the main reason the Noto font caps out at ~64,000 characters on that bar chart of how many characters are in some fonts.

> What are the consequences of using these newly offensive words?

Well, loosely speaking - if it's a truly "newly offensive word", then the general consequence is that someone will politely take you aside and explain that the reasons why so-and-so a word is not great to use in public, explain the reasons why, and suggest alternatives. If you continue to use it regardless, then you are intentionally signalling that your freedom of vocabulary is more important than showing respect to others - which is a position you are entitled to take, and others are entitled to judge accordingly.

"Public dunks" and vicious whispering (without an attempt to actually educate) don't tend to happen (in my, admittedly anecdotal, experience) for truly "newly offensive words", but rather for those that have already spread far and wide enough that there's truly no excuse for ignorance.

> What if you used the word but had no idea it was offensive?

See above. If you find yourself moving in circles where you fear that you'll be judged and condemned rather than advised, I suggest you re-evaluate whether those circles are truly worth it.

> And how do we police that in a world where more and more things are offensive?

Not sure what you're referring to "policing" (the usage itself, or the consequences _of_ the usage), so this may be inaccurate, but - the former happens naturally through social dynamics, and I don't see why the latter needs policing at all? If people are taking disproportionate damaging action based on speech that is perceived to be offensive, that's an offence like any other. If the consequences are "people thinking that you're a bit of a racist/sexist/whatever", then...why does that need policing.

I suspect I come across as naïve for believing that "the Social Justice crowd" are well-intentioned, and that slip-ups will be gently corrected rather than leading to immediate castigation and ostracism. Conversely, to me, the concern that "if I don't keep up with the seventeen new daily offensive terms, I will be shunned forever!" seems like an over-reaction when most "SJWs" treat not-obviously-deliberate-offensive speech as an opportunity to educate, not attack. I suspect, as always, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Our outlooks are products of our environments and experiences - and I've been lucky enough to be surrounded by folks who communicate.
We are very good at finding correlations. It is still very hard to prove causality in natural phenomena from experiments, specially when we cannot control them. This became blatantly obvious in the covid outbreak where nobody had a clue for months about whether masks would help or not. Edit to clarify: It is very hard to prove to causality and be sure that you did not mess up.
I am fairly well read on substructural type theories, if you could explain what you mean by ‘strictly superior’ then maybe I could formulate some points of interest, but as the question stands, I don’t think there is any justification for claiming that affine types are better than linear types.
