I think we are sharing a very similar viewpoint.

What I meant by this is that you have to "fit" that culture and that by not "being" part of it you won't get hired even if you're trying your best.

> Github. Which, as we know, is your resume.

There in lies the problem. Encouraging people to put their resume on centralized platforms (Be it Facebook, LinkedIn, or Github) is putting your entire career at risk. It's better to have your own domain and self-host, that way you aren't locked in and at risk of loosing your entire professional history if you get banned or a service goes offline.
AWS has a lot of catching up to do when it comes to Docker support. It is so easy to use Docker in Azure. You can create a web app (App Service) directly off of a Docker image. When you make code changes just push the new image and the web site automatically updates. Even more interesting is Azure Container Instances where you run a docker image briefly and pay only for the brief time you run it.

I use AWS lightsail, which is awesome, but would be even more awesome if it supported Docker images out of the box.

The journal paper - COVERING IN COVER LETTERS: GENDER AND SELF-PRESENTATION IN JOB APPLICATIONS
https://journals.aom.org/doi/pdf/10.5465/AMBPP.2019.275

How gendered language was measured:

> We used a computerized text analysis tool, Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC; Pennebaker, Booth, & Francis, 2007) to compute a measure of gendered language for each job application material (Gaucher et al., 2011).

How women self-reported downplaying their gender:

> Job seekers downplayed gender incongruence by: removing gender-incongruent hobbies or extracurriculars; describing themselves with less gender-incongruent language; altering their name; or removing gender-incongruent job experiences.
It tells you if the person can't communicate beyond bullet points in a resume. It's easy to hype up achievements in previous positions. An interview will help there, but if a cover letter demonstrates difficulty communicating, that is a signal you can use to effectively filter those candidates and not waste time on an interview.
I always found it helpful to have a writing sample for evaluation, especially if the position requires effective written communication skills.
I wonder how many thousands of us started doing something like this https://github.com/adnmcq/music_visualizer

> So.. I guess this really is nostalgia for a time when you could go out and spend $10-100k, and buy a workstation that had capabilities simply not available on a consumer pc.

Yeah, at the end of the day, commodity GPUs with commodity CPUs make up a workstation. But that's more to do with PCs "catching up", and becoming very similar to a small workstation. After all, absurdly huge SIMD units are useful for 3d video games, and everyone wants to play video games.

You can still buy the high-end GPU (A100) and/or CPUs (EPYC) if you wanted to build your own high-end workstation. But its all commodity parts these days. I think that's a net benefit.
Glad you enjoyed it! Unsurprisingly, most visitors do not scream

This is one of those reasons I think that progressive social theory is so important. People are so quick to write people off as "SJWs" when they point out the small sexist or racist nuances that exist in the world, but those little things add up, and create vastly different life experiences for people based on their immutable characteristics.

This kind of bias is predictable, so there's no excuse for allowing it to have any affect over your hiring process. The people making hiring decisions either need to be trained in such a way that minimizes unfair or unlawful biases influencing their decisions, or they need to be given the bare minimum information as to avoid even having extra information that would influence their decision.
> It actually has a much better type system, in my opinion.

I don't know how anyone can say that with a straight face about a type system that has both Option & null

(granted Rust technically runs into this, but they go out of their way so that you should never be using pointers unless you want to. Whereas in F# you'll run into this using references, & you'd expect interfacing to C# APIs wouldn't take the care that interfacing with C APIs does)

That said, F# does sound like a good fit for them, so one funny reasoning aside, dive in. I enjoyed F# when I was able to use it
That's funny, I had exactly the opposite reaction. Almost 20 light hours sounds far for something we basically strapped on the top of a big firecracker, which probably provided propulsion for at most a few dozen minutes... The fact that it was even possible to make that thing fly over several planets before exiting the orbital plane on a predictable course, and that one can still communicate with it as it exits the heliosphere is truly awe inspiring to me.
First off tax avoidance isn't fraud even given such shenanigans. They really do have offshore corporate offices in those countries. If they tried faking paperwork and really kept it in a corporate bank account? Actual fraud.

There is a reason for that - said strict criminal liability is broken it just breaks single lives and horrifyingly can be ignored. But break an entire systems and that leads to instability.

Take a complex economy with byzatine rules - either you have selective enforcement and effectively a dictatorship with extra steps or it is applied mercilessly across the board. Given the added risk to investments unsurprisingly many would choose to get the hell out of there.

Really the answer should be to do away with strict liability bullcrap.

The Mars rovers, including Perserverance, usually communicate directly over a high-speed link with one of several relay satellites orbiting Mars. The smaller antennas of the DSN can communicate with the relay satellites as well.

Furthermore, the locations of the stations aren't determined by the hemispheres. Everything DSN is used for is far enough away from Earth that it doesn't matter if the antenna is in the northern or southern hemisphere. The reason for the spread-out stations is the rotation of the Earth, which for half of the day puts the Earth in between the station and the satellite.
Same. I suspect the correlation is because of the crate ecosystem and cargo making it easy to use a good TUI framework.
I'm pretty sure compliant splitters are expected to decrypt, split, then reencrypt. What a waste of resources.

> With this thinking, you can very much say that tax revenue does just disappear into some hole.

It doesn't just disappear into the misty fog of the central bank though. It goes onto some government ledger.

This ledger has some considerable effect. It greatly constrains what the government can spend.

If the ledger meant nothing, you would not see government needing to borrow via issuing bonds when it needs to spend more. The cost to government of borrowing goes up and down according to circumstances, and is outside of government's direct control.

In other words, all the parts are related, partly by design, and this strongly affects the consequences of issuing (or destroying) currency at the central bank to the point where it's not really meaningful to think of taxation as destroying currency.

If the government did issue enough currency to go on a spending spree, before long not only would inflation harm other parts of the economy, it would also find that the prices of its spending spree went up, so it would have to issue more, and...

Ultimately no matter how much currency it issues, there's a strong drag in real terms on how many things the government can obtain from others and cause others to do via commerce.

That limit on its spending power makes the ledger balance something much stronger than a hole into which tax disappears.

Why as a hiring manager would you overlook the datapoints in the cover letter?
I worry that the implications here lean on the authors' use of frankly sexist stereotypes. If you don't filter the study through their perception that agentic language is masculine and communal language feminine, it becomes a lot less clear that these findings are relevant to the proportion of women in senior management.
I agree with the other poster that it doesn't add anything to the title. I'm not "upset" about it, this is simply a side discussion about what goes in a title. I wanted to add my thoughts and now I'm done.

Chekovs gun is a tool for better stories. It does not work in reality, because in the real world it is always a cost to doing things. And extreme action has extreme costs, so very seldom does any country do anything extreme. As an example, nobody has used a nuke in war since ww2.

Not at all. What I am tired of is white men who insist that equality is somehow unimportant, or that the existence of unfair biases is an acceptable part of the professional environment, and who feel the need to speak out and complain every time someone points out that the world is less forgiving to people who don't look like them.
I'll be interested in seeing how their new computers turn out - as they're turning away from commodity hardware, and going back to bespoke silicon for their CPUs, it's like we're going back in time to the more heterogeneous Unix Workstation days.

And again the data we have shows that GPD is positively correlated with energy consumption. I take your point that it does not have to be this way though, let's just say I am not convinced.

Ok I deserved that, it is true that blaming capitalism is a bit of my go to card. But to be fair lets not act like our system of production has no impact on how we consume ressources. You have a point though: ressource over-use is not strictly a problem of capitalism, a thing to keep in mind for the proponent of the fully automated luxury communism utopia.
The Microsoft Z80 SoftCard
I am curious – do you also usually look more for technology-focused experience rather than a more general view of what the candidate's skills look like?

In my view, hiring manager that ignore cover letters usually also have very strong go/no-go criteria like “We won't hire anyone who doesn't have prior Java experience”, etc.

[As a candidate, I like filtering out such employers; so I'm wondering if I should play with including some kind of tracking link in my cover letter that would track if the employer had clicked on it; and filter out employers that didn't.]
I understand. As I said, we value the cover letter and use it. In this case, though, the reasoning is that the cover letter provides unwanted signals about the demographics of the candidate, and avoiding influence from those signals is considered worth not knowing the kind of valuable context you mentioned.
To me, it looks like the sweet spot might be RC + weak references, which in terms of ease of use is close enough to a tracing GC as to not matter, + the ability to tune away the RC ops in specific circumstances, for example using affine types.
States hire consultants for Covid-19 help, with mixed and expensive results
Isn't everything in "cultural" politics reactionary? Civil rights to segregation. Neoliberalism to libertarianism, etc. What does something being reactionary actually tell us about the thing. In a sense, most campaigns are reactionary. They focus on FUDing the opposition more than positively promoting themselves.

IMO, reactionary is more descriptive of political climates than movements. When antagonism is a primary/defining motivator, all reactionary cliches show up. There are, obviously, movements than lean in.
Optimisation is a necessary process, and is amoral. It has no right or wrong by itself. If I make good cupcakes and you help me get my order page in front of people near me who want my cupcakes, you’ve done the world some good.

If you do unethical things to get there, like false reviews, stolen copy, ripped off images, etc, then of course that’s unethical and often illegal.

It’s what you do for the SEO that matters.

I spent some time last night looking at it. Just to affirm what you're saying, there's hardly any information on their frontpage unless you go venturing into videos and blog posts.

Dark is basically a language that's designed to be serverless out of the box. They've baked their own engine into the language as well as dependencies for various cloud providers, databases (postgres was highlighted a lot), etc so that you can build serverless applications quickly while having no knowledge of operating systems, infrastructure, or really even computer science.

It reminds me of a number of the languages out there that are low-code or no-code. A regular programmer probably wouldn't even recognize some of the syntax and symbolization this language uses.

Here's some examples: https://blog.darklang.com/spin-up-a-slack-app-in-seconds-wit...
Most of us have probably built a Slack app by now (or bot) so this is a good example to compare with IMO.

Dark has a mission of appealing to 1B people and they say the first step is to appeal to developers.
That's not how it works though. The International Telecommunication Union's definition is relevant here. For instance, in 2010, it was: "[...]downstream speeds equal to, or greater than, 256 kbit/s...".[1]

There was also talk about increasing it to 2 Mbit/s some years ago.[2]

Not that that change would make a difference if you look at broadband accessibility for Germany here.[3]

Point is: What was written was a load of bollocks. There were no facts to back up the statement but people lapped it up anyway.

Hey. Founder of Volument[1] here. We consulted EU law specialists on this particular matter. You are right: you definitely need a cookie banner when you store or process PII data. But GDPR is just an extension to ePrivacy, which says that you also need the cookie banner when any of the device information is accessed (such as the browser URL) for non-essential purposes.

The ePrivacy is just a _directive_ and doesn't oblige to anything. It's the local laws of Europe that do. We have compiled a detailed list of all the European countries and the respective laws that require an analytics service for opt-in or opt-out style banner. [2]

Retention is not possible without cookies or localStorage, but you can measure retention without storing or processing any PII information.

> Corporations can be criminally charged.

Are you sure about that? Corporations cannot act (they have no hands, and no brains), and thus they cannot break the law. It also is relatively difficult to throw a corporation in jail for a criminal violation.

Even a much more informal association of people, a "criminal conspiracy", cannot be criminally charged as a single abstracted entity: the individuals who performed that conspiracy must be charged.

I don’t think dotnet is faster than rust or anything overall, but ASP.NET Core is 6th is the techempower composite rankings and first or second I believe in the plain text benchmark. This is excluding the large amount of performance work that has gone into the soon to be released .NET 5.
And people also only lived to be 40 (if they were lucky) for hundreds of thousands of years. Just because ancient people did something doesn't somehow make it better for that reason alone.

Honestly, as someone who transitioned from vim to emacs for Clojure development, I didn't find any great benefit to Doom or Spacemacs vs. reading some init.el files on github and setting up my own config. I find `use-package` to be the best package for managing and configuring the various plugins I have installed and was able to get running in an hour or so. If you're used to vim and have tried managing your own config in the past, it probably seems more daunting than it actually is.
