"Full stack" ;-).

Lately the idea of a "specialist" (at least in webdev) has come to mean (in my head): "I really know how to use this particular framework, but do not understand any of the surrounding technology. If I reach a problem, I will bloat the code with more libraries until it starts to work."
I was standing at a gas station in rural New Mexico a few weeks ago when my phone buzzed. It was a LI note from an ex-colleague that I hadn’t seen in 12 years, wanting to know if I was available. I’m meeting her team in a few days.

Just being a good human being will get your far in life irrespective of tech stacks.
Exactly, defeatism can be pathologic to individuals and society. It's frustrating that doing anything involves the extra effort of countering this attitude.
>What if I picked up calls going to Apple and all I did was transfer you to the correct person. You are still getting the same service if you called Apple directly but its not legal because Apple did not give me permission to impersonate them.

You're missing the part about how GrubHub, et. al don't just pass you along, they charge 12-30% "commission" just for forwarding the call -- and they set up the fake number just so they could do so.
I have the same experience with Honda Sensing. The honda drives much closer to the double yellow then I like. Apparently it is possible to recalibrate the system but from this video it looks like a rather involved process.

It's interesting that this topic was much talked about when I was working with hospitals 3-5 years ago. They've seen it coming, but have largely squandered the opportunity.

Most hospitals store their data and run systems on-prem and are hyper-allergic to anything cloud based. They often have sloppy if extant back-up policies, and I've never heard of a hospital practicing a restore from backups. They also all seem to have terrible policies around passwords that cause most of their staff to iterate passwords every few months by simply incrementing a number at the end. You're also quite likely to find passwords on post it notes under half the keyboards in a given facility.

Security certifications are kind of a joke and mostly conducted by lawyers and compliance officers who have no technical background, let-alone info sec training.

TL;DR this has been a ticking time bomb for a decade and everyone involved knew it.
This is my favourite kind of pure speculation. You don't know what you're talking about, really, but you're clearly exploring vast areas of thought at the same time.

Remember, integers are integers are integers, because they represent the intrinsic "whole quantity" of something; this is as concrete as logic will get, the idea that there are "ones", it's pretty hard to imagine a universe that doesn't have that.

Once you have integers, then you're going to do math in an integer base; and making too high of a base has a diminishing value at at certain point, so it's unlikely we'd see higher than maybe 60. Non-integer bases exist - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-integer_base_of_numeration - but it's clear to me that I'm too stupid to use them, and so probably most other people are too. This tells me that it's going to be a comparatively rare Many World that chooses to do this.

Choosing a number like 12 or 60 with a lot of divisors would have been nice. 1/3 in base 12 is "0.4", which is a lot nicer than 0.333... and would probably help make a lot of younger math education way easier.

Combining that with skipping "degrees" entirely and using radians from the start would probably have been wise choices. We'd have been much better equipped to divide things! I imagine a six-fingered being would have had an immediate advantage in that regard, but, alas.

Now, would some of those number constants look particularly different? Not really. Pi in base 12 is "3.184809493B91866", for instance, so it doesn't look like that would be much easier. E and other numbers similarly just end up with different expansions.

Remember, you can use whatever number base you want to, in this universe. The key is that it's just a way your brain interprets the symbols to represent a quantity; don't confuse the map for the territory. Five, the quality of having five whole entities, exists the same when it's 101 in binary or 10 in base 5 or 11 in base 4; either way it's all still just five, and so the right thing to do is to use the base system that most intuitively works for you so that it becomes transparent.
What's your freelance price?
He still isn't ready to believe that this whole movement that accompanies CoCs is pushed for malicious purposes by twisted power hungry people. That would require a massive loss of innocence and a reckoning about the nature of the world that only comes, reluctantly, from repeated exposure to and reflection on the same problem.

I have seen many people in similar situations that just completely roll over in a prey response and just bow down to these people. So at least the author has that spark of dignity where he's willing to stand up for himself.
thats incredible!
Have you tried Super Cruise under the same poor road conditions?

You didn’t counter my claim, in fact you reinforced the fact that SC will rely on pre-mapped data for safety.

There is no conclusion to be taken anyway, as Tesla has over 3 billion miles driven on Autopilot with a great safety record, vs a mere 5M for Cadillac (AP’s average was 4.5M miles per accident at some point).
Introducing Semgrep and r2c
It hurts my brain to think about that. Simulating the brain is one idea, adding the body on too is levels of complexity I can't fathom. Biologists struggle writing 128 page documents just to characterize a single molecule, so they can construct a 5-6 part nano-vehicle.

The hubris of this idea is just so far off the charts I can't even call it wrong or insane. It's in the "FTL" bucket for me.
I see alot of business use excel as a way to not engage with IT teams since they can get very far without building true systems for the their needs. So I am not sure if this is a feature that will lead to further entrenching of excel into non-enterprise applications or will enable teams to more easily disconnect from excel as the tool to do all things. I guess time will tell.
I had to recently book a hotel for a few nights. Hotels are mostly empty because of COVID. When I called to book a room it was clearly a script being followed with high pressure tactics including saying rooms are filling up quickly. Once I arrived at the hotel it looked mostly dead, and I when I asked the manager who was helping me behind the counter, he said they were at 10% capacity. It should also be illegal for businesses to misrepresent their inventory.
I agree with the top-voted reply: you want Code-of-Conducts for the cover it gives to organizations, and not for the protection it offers to the victims of organizations.

This is a great response, thanks!

I think I agree with 99% of it.

I'll take the rest of this comment to note that elsewhere I'm lauding codes of conduct because they are lighter-weight than certain legal processes.
Earth is a graveyard of species. Looking at the geological record, more than 99% of species that ever existed here have gone extinct [1]. Overwhelming majority of them long before we showed up. And in any case, this planet will not support life forever [2].

Believing we have no destiny outside Earth is believing we have no destiny at all.

1) All you need to do is install our NPM module (or add a script tag to your website), and call Cohere.init when your app has launched. If you want to see logged in users identified in the dashboard, you can optionally pass their info in: https://docs.cohere.so/#/?id=optional-identifying-users

2) This isn't the most detailed answer, but we went off of gut feeling for the overall look and did the graphics/interfaces ourselves. The starting point was the initial shade of blue, and we played around quite a bit with variations on that hue. We ended up working with a design firm (Aesthetic S18) for the logo, which we're quite happy with!

No, I think buy should have a very clear meaning.

No one is going to read all the legal gobbledygook.

When I buy something, I assumed it cannot be taken away. If it can be taken away, then I did not buy it. Ileased it or rented it, but I did not buy it.

The world is already too complicated for many people. If we are going to give people any hope of understanding what they are agreeing to, then we need to make sure that words mean something.
How many software engineers do you know who are legitimately terrified of their student loan debts for a Bachelor's in CS?

I've met people with grad degrees in less remunerative fields who absolutely have exactly the worries you imagine. But a fresh grad with a CS degree and a promising career? A 250k salary isn't even a stretch for them to imagine. Add a partner with a similar income and both the student loans and that $2M starter home seem plenty achievable.

Especially if they look at home prices in Oakland or Hayward where home prices are still under $1M, rather than the more exclusive parts of San Francisco (read: all of it).
> Learn to solve business problems rather than “engineering problems.” No one needs 2,000 more lines of Javascript. Lots of companies need business problems addressed.

Want to highlight this -- it's very rare but hugely valuable to be able to look at the business' needs and solve them, versus "I just work on what they tell me to"
You could make that argument about any new technology over the last couple hundred years, and it would prove to be a vacuous argument. A rising tide lifts all boats.

Exactly. The number of times I read "utilize" or "leverage" seemingly because the author doesn't want to say "use" is very high.

"leverage" in particular seems to get over-used, even in cases where there is nothing approaching actual leverage.

Make the reader think about your actual point; anytime you make them instead think about your word choice (in the form of "why did they use that word?!"), you're reducing the information transfer and effectiveness of your writing.
To add to that, Kindle store is actually two things combined:

1. An eBook distributor
2. A "PayPal replacement" that let's you send $$$ to authors.

They theoretically have a monopoly on #1, but in practice piracy exists and potentially does it better.

They don't and can't stop people from setting up a platform for sending $$$ to authors - in fact, you could even have a database of authors, their books and the RRP of those books, and an embeddable button to pay the author an RRP's worth. That could then be embedded on arbitrary piracy sites.

The piracy sites could be shut down, but realistically the pirate sites are too portable to be shut down for long, and private trackers make some sites impractical to shut down at all.
The safety records for all car manufacturers are public. You can check on your own and stop repeating such uninformed blabbering.
As a long-time (decades) vi user, I decided once to force myself to use Emacs for a full year just to see what people liked about it. I have to tell you - I was so relieved when my year was up and I could go back to vi. I never "felt" emacs no matter how much time I spent using it.

To be fair, that kind of back of the envelope analysis shows that with our current knowledge we cannot assign this phenomenon to your hypothesis. But maybe that's precisely why the phenomenon remains unexplained because we have to think a bit outside the box.

Fluid dynamics is complicated (Navier-Stokes still has a 1 million prize attached to it), surface wave propagation is complicated but when you include the effects of the seabed it's even more complicated. A lot of non-linear behavior pops out which always brings very nasty math.

I'm more on the side that this is not the explanation but I wouldn't bet too much on it.
I suppose you should know this also, to detect a lie.
The following is a link to the Mathematics Subject Classification [1]. There are thousands of lines, with each line being a different area of specialization in the disciplines of math. Every time you think we are close to "running out" of ideas, things to do, or things to learn, I ask that you pull this up. Even if we limit to mathematics and don't talk about things like agriculture, psychology, and so forth, you have so many possible things to do with your life that even if everyone picks one thing and specializes in it, there will still be something unique for you to explore. Consider that something like machine learning is largely applied statistics, optimization, linear algebra, and a few other things and then look at this list with those things omitted! There is still a lot left. We are nowhere close to having worked on all the interesting problems or running out of things to discover.

> - Good relationships are a requirement for a good manager.

Except that managers tend to have pretty bad relationships with their peers and have routinely bad relationships with people under them. It is to large extend structural, managerial work pretty much rarely involves actual cooperation with people on the same level.

> - You may not care about them but executives do, and the manager is judged on their quality.

They are judged by the relationship toward executive primary. That has little to do with quality of relationship to anyone else.

Well, they've finally got the right form factor, but that price is...expensive, esp. considering it's not got much more than a Raspberry PI 4 Compute Module + I/O board which is about £110/$150. And the PI has a GPU built-in.

Likely that PCIe switch IC they've got in there is a fair chunk of that price.

I referred the the intellectuals as "cheerleaders," but in many cases they are also the advisers who are pushing and pressuring the policymakers.

The majority of IYIs are for whatever policy makers put forward because the idea of a benevolent and well-meaning State aligns with their world vision.

And of course, "we're just dismantling the evil capitalist patriarchy" is part of that cartoon world vision.

Ancient versions of Windows are used because they are a stable target for drivers.

We've been working with the r2c folks for a while, and been using semgrep since before it was called semgrep.

If you can write code in a language, you can use semgrep. It also has a feature I have learned to love every time I find it in any kind of auditing tool: it’s ruthlessly effective as an exploratory and experimental tool, but it takes no effort at all to turn that into a persistent check. By comparison: ripgrep finds anything fast, but nobody uses it to write linters. Other off the shelf linters do a great job finding (simple) issues, but bandit doesn’t help me one bit to build a mental map of how a codebase works.
“The new law will create inflation whenever the trusts want inflation. From now on depressions will be scientifically created.” (Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, after the passage of the Federal Reserve act 1913.)
Exactly. What happens if we have a swarm of satellites to divert/concentrate a large amount of solar radiation? What happens if we geo-engineer bacteria to precipitate out greenhouse gases? How long does it take for particulate matter to settle after diverting an asteroid to impact the planet? If we can make oceans, how does the size of oceans affect the absorption of new asteroid deliveries?

Mars and Venus are, as far as every experiment has shown, dead as doornails. Using them as a testbed for experiments that are too dangerous to do on Earth without first practicing is a good use for them.
The final stage of capitalism is rent seeking. you don't own the stuff you buy. you must pay subscription fees to rent the stuff thus generating never ending profits for the capitalists.
Exactly what punishment was given here? I've read the piece several times, and couldn't figure it out. The most negative thing that was done to him was that they found him to have violated the Code. If there was a punishment, he seems to have found it less doleful than the finding itself and the process by which it came about.

That's understandable, but to me it also seems to illustrate the reason we're having this. He felt persecuted by their words. They were unkind to him, and it left him "shattered".

CoCs calling for "kindness" are put into place precisely because words have such power to harm. That vagueness makes them prone to abuse as well, but the sentiment on this thread seems to be, "Because this has the potential to harm me it must be stopped, but the kinds of harms that I could inflict on other people the same way are unimportant and do not need to be addressed."

I'm sorry he was treated this way; this doesn't seem to have been handled well. It's hard to deal with situations where multiple people are experiencing the "low emotional resilience" he cites (both himself and the apparent fragility of the person who reported him). But I think it's important to recognize that there are many "oppression tools", so it's worth reconsidering who has them even without a CoC, and how they can be countered.
In effect, you're saying that Vancouver has become the laundromat of converting illegitimate capital produced under a shadow banking system into real valuable assets.

This is bad for everyone else in our global economic system. It would be akin to someone in a game of monopoly accepting counterfeit money. The rest of the players have to play the game with actual monopoly rules while one player is allowed to make up whatever they want. Guess who's going to win that game?

Of course its a shadow banking system for a reason, because keeping everything hidden gives them a cheaters advantage. Revealing what happens there would be admitting to cheat and fraud.

China is seriously going full force with deception, passive aggression, claiming innocence, claiming moral high ground, while doing everything that is in the book of machiavellian/art-of-war tactics, and the rest of the world is doing nothing about it. (hardly surprising given their cultural mythologies and inclinations which differ vastly from for example a "liberty, justice, and freedom-for-all" mantra that is the foundation and aspiration of a different nation)
That’s true but not super relevant. The important point is that prices become dissociated from local incomes if a laundering buyer agrees to a price that’s much higher than what a local would pay.
I'd take the other side of that bet if it was possible. Just one of the many things that the money has enabled is 100Mbps internet to the entire globe.
Obligatory "I don't understand why people still use Excel and just don't learn to program" comment
> I make the majority of my money flipping stuff and working in service industry jobs and occasionally find work as a designer, developer, photographer, videographer, video editor, and much more....I know how to do a lot of things, but finding a job isn't one of them.

If you're doing all those things, it sounds like you're finding lots of skill-based jobs, as well as selling directly. In what way don't you know how to find a job?
No, this situation would only be analogous if you listed yourself as “Official LEGO(TM) Store” and had a link to LEGO.com on your Amazon profile, and you had “contact LEGO Sales by phone” but the listed phone number was actually your private line, and LEGO did not give you permission for any of this.

The obtuseness in these comments is really something else.
Of course you do. Would you spend a hundred thousand on a custom buildout for a $1M lease if there was a significant risk the tenant would stop paying only a fraction of the way into the lease?

Things get a lot easier if you can take the space as is. But even then, if the landlord thinks your business is at a high risk of closing within a year, what’s the point? Why not spend most of that year finding a secure tenant likely to last for a decade or more.

yes - this is not "opt out", it's not even "default opt-in" like the telecoms got spanked for a few years ago, because they have no pre-existing relationship. It's fraudulent representation.
