Hahaha that's smart way of filtering out bad candidates.

Maybe during the interview process we should make sure the candidates fully understand the callback style and Javascript's async model.

We also have a big project. we started during callback days, skipped promises (I never thought promises alone were an improvement over callbacks and async.auto). But as soon as async/await was in, we allowed them in the codebase.

So now the codebase is a mess, with some functions being callback style and some others promises, stiched together we promisify functions. Im hoping in a 2-3 years time frame all our callback style functions will be eventually phased out during small refactors and rewrites.

This migration plan is the only method i found that enables projects to move from A -> B without spending massive times rewriting the whole project and yet keeping up to date with technologies so they wouldn't need a rewrite every 10 years.
All your saying is true, but the reality is much less negative than western media's reporting.

One such example: African countries often have the same national control mechanisms practiced by China, for example, 51% equity on joint ventures.

Yeah, I think the productivity metrics are a key sticking point here. If you can prove you are delivering the same quantity (i.e. the release cycle and throughput isn't impact) and similar quality (i.e. which you could probably measure with bug tracking), its probably easier to then go on to make the case of the additional benefits of reduced hours (i.e. mental health, more time for company culture, etc).

Granted, I am not totally aware of your situation with your employer; more just expressing my own strategy in trying to work this out.

Madison Wisconsin pre-sorts mail in ballots by voting ward and has them taken to the polling places on Election Day morning and feeds them through the tabulator after someone cosplays as the voter to ensure the voter can't cast two ballots. I assume the same process is done for all the major metro areas. They'll be counted on time.

(They verify a few absentee ballot envelopes for required signatures etc and then open up the envelopes, someone verifies the ballot is complete, and then mix the ballots together so the ballot is kept anonymous. Chain of custody here is clever and works well. It would still be possible to notify the voter their ballot was rejected.)
Youtube itself should be taken down because it may be used to upload copyrighted content
Umm, yes the law makes it clear downloading copyrighted material you do not own is not legal.

The RIAA and MPAA were suing users of Kazaa, BitTorrent, etc individually because of this law you may or may not like, but that's again the law!
they need to move development elsewhere though

While playtesting kyrub's 'insecticide' patch, we found an amusing bug. The Invulnerability spell is impossible to dispel! It's the last on the list of spells, and suffers from the off-by-one bug.

I'm suggesting that ML will lower the barrier to entry so dramatically that the value of individual songs and musicians will plummet. The back catalog of copyright that the RIAA holds will become a fraction of its value today.

I could be wrong, but nascent technology in this field looks incredibly powerful.

I think this will happen with all media.
As a recent South Bay emigrant, I'm sympathetic to your point of view, but the current listings make it hard for me to completely buy it. Rents for low end 1 bedroom apartments in Mountain View seem to be down about 20% from a year ago. The apartment I left is still vacant a month on despite being listed much lower than what I was paying. I don't think a mere tens of thousands of new units accounts for a drop in rents that seems to be nearly unprecedented in both magnitude and geographic scope.

Ummm... free software? This is pretty much the crux of the ethical argument for free software. That you should have the freedom to control your own system. You're lamenting this issue while ignoring your biggest ally. Why?

I'm a lurker, made this account just to say this:

I am not using NewPipe or youtube-dl or other tools like them to by-pass the DRM/whatever the fuck you call this shit on "content" from RIAA/SuckADICKIA etc, because, let's be honest, it's garbage. Yeah, there you go, I said it, hate me if you want but be honest, it's just fucking garbage. On and on and on with shitty super-hero movies, that fucking tribal dance music with some skimpy women twerking their asses, hip-hop from mega-rich "stars" barely able to connect two words together but seemingly able to sing a whole tear-jerker about how bad they have it, yeah, all of that and more, GARBAGE.

no. I download original content which Youtube and the rest of the American leeches, like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and on and on pray upon to make their money cause let's face it, that's about the only thing these American companies are good at doing. Making money. Not generating original content, not original ideas, heck, most of the shit they use nowadays are stuff they stole when they pushed other companies off the market and bought them for nothing. But I digress.

I download them just because of retards like you RIAA, and like you Google/Youtube. Remember when you were threatening to ban hacking content because you don't like the fact that knowledge is the great equalizer and then you went "ha ha we were kidding"? Ha, ha fuck you, we have retroshares and full i2P archives of those videos now, thanks to you, so go fuck yourselves, yeah?

I still watch them on youtube, not because I care about you fucking leeches, but to give some pennies to the poor fucks which create the content you leech on like the fucking cancer you people and your corporations are, but if you ever decide to take videos down I will have a backup and there's nothing you can do, so again:

fuck riaa, fuck youtoube and facebook and hollywood and twerking garbage and pretty much 99% that comes nowadays from the country of the fat entitled boomers.

Thank you American original content creators, software creators, scientists, engineers, EFF and everyone else that is trying to make the world a better place in spite of these worms.

Universities weren't historically jobs training programs, as they've now been reduced to, and so weren't even a consideration for the vast majority of people for whom even basic literacy wasn't requisite for their day-to-day job.

Calling the thing youtube-dl in the first place rather than GenericDownloadHelper or something like that could, I guess, be seen as marketing it for a specific purpose.

You're talking about relative pitch, not perfect (absolute) pitch. Any competent musician will have excellent relative pitch, which is the ability to recognize intervals between pitches. This is necessary for transcription, learning music by ear, jamming, etc.

Perfect pitch means that, if someone plays a sine wave with no context, you can tell what pitch it is.
Agreed. Once I discovered that "it also works outside of YouTube" when I want to archive something I'll just point it at a page and set it loose. It's also handy for archiving an entire podcast by feeding it only the RSS feed URL and turning it loose.
I'm sure this is deliberate for readability - possibly also to avoid clashing with Ø (danish letter, also sometimes (ab)used for the empty set).
I don't think that multiplying your parents' wealth is only confined to the already wealthy class.

I make about ten times as much as my mother did, although we are both university educated. The difference is that I can sell my products on the Internet to a much wider audience. That was a serious multiplier which affected a lot of people and businesses, even on the lower end of the scale.

This is true. There usually are a few cases an org would have where latency costs, de-serialization and deserialization costs outweigh the simplicity of http/json, and it usually happens in a business critical part of the company. This leads to a standardization policy where ALL projects now use grpc/thrift/etc... as an RPC standard, even if when it doesn't make sense.

Why stop there? Telnet can be used. Or what about wireshark? Let's ban those too. While we're at it, C++ can be used and other programming languages as well. We could keep going.

This whole thing is silly.
The biggest problem with it is that it's unconstitutional. States are not allowed to make agreements with each other parallel to the system.

EDIT: if you can get that many states to agree to it, then you could have just done a constitutional amendment. since all you need for that is for the states to agree, and the senate to agree. Senators come from the states.

So... if you can't get it passed that way, it doesn't pass the smell test.
I don't think you understand. Yeah, you can sue people for illegally redistributing copyrighted works. However, I am skeptical that you can do the same for people using YouTube-dl to consume copyrighted works. You are downloading the file from someone who has a license to redistribute it, you are just using a CLI utility instead of the page itself. You can't view something without downloading it in some capacity.

I'm not saying there's no possibility this is "illicit," I am saying this is not the same as illegally downloading music off of Kazaa.
I wonder why no one's pushed for making representation based on votes not citizens or residents. That would incentivize states helping everyone vote. (But might also incentivize fraudulent counts)

Agree 100%. The vast majority of my savings goes into an index fund and I keep on adding to it like clockwork every paycheck, and I avoid even thinking about it. I very specifically kept my fingers away from the keyboard when the pandemic was unfolding. I do like to play stocks for fun however, even options when I'm feeling spicy, but I do that with my 'lunch money' aka hobby money I'd have just spent on something else.
Singing - perhaps you know this - is standard in ear training courses. We are required to sing intervals, sing Bach chorales, and sing chords in all inversions and qualities, and sing their resolutions. At advanced levels we are required to sing atonal passages.

Then there is the inverse - melodic dictation. Not just identifying intervals, but chords, their qualities, and inversions.

The goal of these is to develop relative pitch, as it is assumed that adults would generally not be able to acquire perfect pitch.

About your last point, it would be every designer's dream to work in a company with as powerful a brand as Apple, with as big a war chest and as global a reach for massive adoption. Yet Ive left, perhaps due to feeling that Apple has drained itself of ideas and doesn't have any concrete plans in future. FWIW, most of its recent products were envisioned when Jobs was alive.

OSH is probably a good incremental improvement over bash, but I also enjoy using the significantly more tradition-breaking Powershell with its object oriented nature.

It feels a lot more like programming and actually gives you useful suggestions right inside the terminal!

On Linux the auto completion behavior is luckily less obnoxious than on Windows and it doesn't have the multi second startup delay either.
This is false for several different reasons.

There were two initial proposals for Congress: the New Jersey Plan and the Virginia Plan. (Virginia, of course, being the leading slave-owning state.) Under both plans, the President would have been elected by Congress. There were concerns that having Congress elect the President would jeopardize separation of powers. So the Electoral College was created, with one elector for each member of Congress. It had nothing to do with protecting the interests of slave-holding states, but instead was designed to make the Presidency more independent of Congress.

Indirect election of the executive is somewhat anti-majoritarian, but also extremely common. Justin Trudeau was not elected Prime Minister of Canada by the general population. He was elected by about 80,000 eligible members of the Liberal Party, and became Prime Minister when the people elected other members of his party to the Parliament. I will add that the leading proponent of direct election of the President and the Senate was Andrew Jackson, strongly opposed abolition and was generally a horrible person.

Now, the New Jersey Plan would have allocated one member of Congress to each state. It was also supported by New York, Delaware, and Connecticut. Of those, only Delaware had a significant enslaved population. The Virginia Plan created a two-chamber legislature with proportional representation based on population. Yes, slave-holding Virginia was the one that wanted proportional representation. The Connecticut Compromise that led to the current allocation really was about small versus large states, not slavery: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1790_United_States_Census. Large states like Massachusetts and Pennsylvania had few to no enslaved persons, and small states like Georgia and Delaware had significant numbers of enslaved persons.

The 3/5 compromise was designed to reduce the interest of slave-holding states. The number originated in an amendment proposed to the Articles of Confederation, which proposed to set the tax obligation for each state to the federal government "in proportion to the number of inhabitants of every age, sex, and quality, except Indians not paying taxes." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-fifths_Compromise#Confed.... Virginia complained that this would count enslaved persons, thus increasing Virginia's tax obligations. Eventually, they settled on counting 3/5 the number of enslaved persons towards the state's tax obligation. That same compromise came up later in the apportionment context.

“I'd prefer vigilante justice over that.”

“I will always choose the people over the police, even if the people are violent. A public mob is better than a police mob.”

“Until the police are held accountable to the public, I feel no remorse for anything that happens to them.”

“the public needs to do it by whatever means necessary even if that harms innocent police officers”

Seems pretty clear what you are advocating. You don’t have to say things like this if they aren’t what you mean.

With compression, payload size differences aren't that significant, and don't necessarily favour other formats (e.g. almost none of the formats have particularly compact representations of strings, and single decimal digit integer values are common enough that integer fields are not that wasteful in JSON).

I totally hear you on serialization/deserialization speed, though it is amazing how inefficient some of the "machine readible" implementations can be, and how efficient people have been able to get JSON parsing, its horrible design disadvantage in this area is lethal.

The simplicity argument is an amusing one to me. I think a lot of people build simple client/server code for JSON, but these "simple" implementations have all kinds of rough edges that prove problematic long term. Once you start doing things right, JSON proves to be far more complex.
> Umm, yes the law makes it clear downloading copyrighted material you do not own is not legal.

It most certainly does not, as almost nobody "owns" "copyrighted material," instead most users are granted a license in this context.
> Apple had/has "luxury brand" caché that Microsoft couldn't build into its stores if it wanted to, and first mover advantage on top of that.

I disagree. It takes time, money, and effort to earn people’s trust, but it’s possible. They obviously weren’t going to reverse a decade of shipping malware ridden computers, but they could have put out quality Microsoft products, and spent years earning back people’s trust.

And yes, maybe it wouldn’t work, and taking risks is part of business. But this is one of the most profitable companies in the history of the world, and they could have afforded it.
The US has been doing its best to alienate its allies, and has called NATO "obsolete". The alliance hasn't fallen apart entirely, and in the event of an actual shooting war with China would most likely be forced together. But shooting is unlikely, and the fragility of the alliance makes peacetime coordination more difficult.

That's potentially to China's advantage. It's not larger than the US plus its allies, but when the US goes without its allies, it's no longer the largest player. In a multiplayer world, those allies you mention could well decide that China is, if not their ally, at least somebody they can do business with.
Also, does the fact that YouTube doesn't supply a download feature constitute a "technical protection measure"?

From the RIAA's point of view, it works to their benefit that a download link doesn't exist, and it may be something they like, but that doesn't mean that's why.

It could just as easily be that a download feature doesn't exist because YouTube wants you to keep returning to their site if you want to rewatch a video.

It would be one thing if some YouTube videos had a download button and others didn't. That would suggest that, on the ones where it's missing, it is missing for a reason, and that reason might be DRM. But as far as I know, YouTube doesn't have download for any videos.

Software doesn't always have all the features that end users might want, and the mere absence of a feature doesn't necessarily tell you why it's missing. Also, it's not some weird, suspicious thing to write software which fills in a feature gap in some other software. (Google encourages add-on software on other products, too. For example, Chrome extensions and Gmail add-ons.)

But, maybe there is some legal reason why this could make sense. Maybe some terms of service or licensing (for video uploaders or for regular end users) says not to download something, which would make it clear that the download feature is missing on purpose.
> My "theory" is that the people making large capital allocation decisions in China are typically smarter.

In that case the wealth Gini should be high so that the smart people get to control all the money.

Not just content - the software ecosystem around YouTube is being censored. youtube-dl has been taken down from Github today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24872911
So, someone could fork it, change the readme and other files to remove all references to copyrighted content. No problem?
Because of how github works these moves are much more damaging than you might expect: In addition to revoking your access to the supposed "infringing" work, you also lose access to all your pull request comment traffic and issues -- which, unlike the source code, aren't continually replicated to the systems of all developers.
