If one developer doesn't break it 98% of the time, then for 200 devs you have a chance of .98^200=2% of not breaking it. And for one person trying to quickly get the fix ready while he might have an urgent family situation you have 199 devs who can't get their stuff in, of which at least 20 are under pressure to deploy their fixes quickly themself. It sounds like creating a hard problem for individuals for solving a mediocre problem for the team.
Wonder if you could set up a chat system that only starts PMs on the hour. So if a conversation has no interaction for more than two minutes, it "dies" and you need to wait until the next full hour to restart it.

NK is more independent from China and a thorn in their side than you might think. NK's nukes can fly to Beijing faster than they'll fly across the Pacific. Korean nationalism is also strong in NK and they have no desire to be China's puppet given the historical implications. NK's greatest years where when the USSR/Russia was strong and they could count on Soviet economic assistance and military counterweight against China.

To anyone wanting to improve their fashion sense, read through r/malefashionadvice and their wiki, they have a bunch of info on how to improve your style. Specifically, they have threads every day called What Are You Wearing Today which has people take pictures of themselves and what they're wearing specifically (brands, name of clothing SKU) which you can then pick up to buy if you like it, or find alternatives for it.

I'd be curious to see what happens in a raid. I currently get 60 FPS on my quite old Hackintosh in most places, but when you pack in a lot of spell effects from many tens of players at the same time, performance starts to drop fast. Especially now with the pre-expansion event and the world bosses.

No country right now has a monopoly on ASAT technology and geosynchronous satellites are not exactly uncommon either. Should ASAT be used in a regional conflict, the entire world's access to space could easily be denied due to the after effects. It unlikely that shooting down satellites would be the first choice in a small conflict.

Tribalism works. Most job openings are not advertised but are filled in with tribe members related to an existing employee.

Many things can be called a 'Tribe' - alumni networks, friends-of-friends, same city, extended family, and on a larger scale, caste, nation, religion, earth (if you are visiting other galaxies).

Nobody wants to credit their success to tribalism but it is a very dominant force in our lives. You need to be the right circles. Keep good company as they say.

... Or you can conveniently blame your fate on nepotism.

I doubt there's an equivalent Teams plugin because the standard solution for that problem in Teams is to click the little telephone icon inside the chat and you're on a call. Add or subtract video and screen sharing as desired. Continue to paste things (documents, links, whatever) inside the call's chat and it's recorded along with the chat/call.

I have a lot of complaints about Teams, but there's something to be said for an integrated solution.

Prvhash (Codename Gradilac) intermediate-final v3.30 released
PRVHASH is a hash function that generates a uniform pseudo-random number sequence derived from the message. PRVHASH is conceptually similar (in the sense of using a pseudo-random number sequence as a hash) to keccak and RadioGatun schemes, but is a completely different implementation of such concept. PRVHASH is both a "randomness extractor" and an "extendable-output function" (XOF), however the resulting hashes have security level that corresponds to the hash length specification: the collision resistance is equal to 2^(n/2) while the preimage resistance is equal to 2^n, where n is the resulting hash length in bits.
This breaks down quickly if you are across timezones like many remote teams. Async communication becomes the most common way of distilling info. It can't completely replace zoom/slack but it is critical for transparency and team cohesion.

Well, there's no scepticism required. The Airbnb documentation for hosts explains how the pricing works, and it didn't work that way. It certainly didn't work like "Smart Pricing".

Xmas/NYE is the middle of summer in Australia. My pad is right next to the beach in a nice part of South East Queensland, and everything like it is already booked out for Xmas.

If you have access to my account data, which the support team does, Airbnb FAQ Articles #503 and #1168 are all that's required to establish that the pricing made in the offer to my guest is the result of a bug, which I have characterised in writing.

But how to establish that with Airbnb and get a resolution? I've been trying for 4 days..

When I read the S-1 with the beautiful sentimental story of the evolution of Airbnb, I couldn't help but post here. Not because I'm pissed, but because I believe in the story promoted by Paul Graham about these people. It would be great if they could retain some of their essence by responding to this incident instead of blocking it with bureaucracy.

They do have good customer support people, and evidently they have retained their culture, but it doesn't facilitate responding to bug reports from hosts in a timely manner. As the support guy told me, without reports, they'd never know about pricing bugs. Surely this is an important one, given that "Smart Pricing" is a feature in the S-1, and hosts are considered important stakeholders in the prospectus.

I've got to wait until the subject specialist verifies the bug and reports it to engineering. If engineering verifies the bug and reports back to the subject specialist, who might then report back to the support guy, who might then consult with his supervisor about whether they can compensate me or my guest somehow, this could all work out fine. So long as that happens before 21 December, no problem. Otherwise, I better cancel the booking before then and find a new guest, and hope the woman who thought she got a bargain can find somewhere else to stay for Xmas. Or just disregard my feelings for this guest and be more detached about hosting. And other people's bugs.
Not writing well doesn't mean that you don't communicate well. Plenty of engineers can communicate just fine in English, just sloppily without perfect grammar.

Tl;dr use strategy pattern where applicable.

One of the best programming books I read was UML Distilled (which introduced the idea of some pattern beside teaching UML) and Design Patterns (Shalloway, Trott).

The moment I started reading this post I thought “that’s a strategy pattern use case”. And that’s the conclusion.

A lot of people fret upon reinventing the wheel (use library instead!) but then they do so very often with the software design where a lot of problems are not only well researched but also peer reviewed and properly described with consequences that come with them.

If you enjoyed this article I would recommend picking up book on design patterns (any popular will do) as there are many more prefabricated solutions to choose from.

I suppose preferences here are at least partially determined by how you think about software project management. Eclipse makes perfect sense to me, and has since the first day I used it. IntelliJ is obtuse and odd and ... wrong to me.
> As an IC, people rarely read my emails if it doesn't fit in their screen (so 3 paragraphs is the max).

You need to learn how to restructure your writing. Most logical people naturally write in a way where it’s premise, premise, premise, conclusion. Instead, you need to write conclusion, premise, premise, premise.

One way I’ve found to help my team learn to write this way is to institute a rule that any writing longer than 3 paragraphs has to have a TL;DR at the top that is no more than 3 sentences. This gets people over the hump of putting the big ask up front and then after a few weeks, they start naturally writing that way.
I'd be curious too. I don't play WoW anymore so I won't be investing time to test.

It's important to note that I tested WoW on my MBP 15" 2018 max spec and the game ran ~25fps (Same zone, same character, doing quests) on lower graphics, and my MBP fans were spinning like a freaking jet engine.
The Japanese generals and admirals agreed to the attack on Pearl Harbour despite the admiral leading it reminding them that their own wargames showed such a scenario as leading to Japan's defeat--pretty much as what actually happened, with US industrial capacity eventually swamping Japan's war effort, even with the Southern Resource Area secured.

Humans don't reason, they rationalize.

This is a much lesser bar than "strong English writing skills" that the article say you should require. "strong English writing skills" will force you to overlook most immigrants, but most of the great engineers in USA are immigrants so you'd handicap yourself by doing that.
For me (German) it’s different. With DDG, I can easily choose to search for German content (by using !ddgde), with google I have to hope that they search for what I want. Sometimes google does, sometimes it does not. And if it doesn’t I’m out of luck unless I go into the settings and look for a way to tell it what to do.

Google automates, DDG leaves me to choose. I prefer the 2nd approach every time.
> I applied to 250+ positions

That sounds wrong. It's common, but it still sounds wrong to me.

When I look for new jobs, I find a couple of companies (3-4) that match with what I'm looking for exactly, read up on the companies, tell them explicitly how I fit into what they need and write them personally. I have a 100% success rate when it comes to interviews, and most of the time I get a offer, but drop out when my counter-offer is too high.

On the other side of the fence (as someone who does hiring), if the application looks like something that can be easily copy-pasted and the applicant has no idea about the company itself or tried the product when I follow up, then the candidate very quickly goes to the bottom of the list.

Instead of focusing on useless parameters like "CS degree, top-branded college" and so on, try to focus on writing high quality applications for a few selected companies you know you can help. I'm sure your success rate will improve then.

>in hindsight I made a shitty purchase decision.

Yeah you did. Why would you buy something you don't need? It doesn't even matter if the Mac Mini with Apple Silicon existed or if from now on the only computer Apple sold is a Mac Mini.

Okay lets be serious. You bought the x86 Mac Mini because you wanted a x86 Mac Mini, not because you wanted to make perfect purchasing decisions with infinite foresight. A lot of software is broken on the M1 Mac Mini so you made the right decision at that time. It's entirely possible that you would regret buying the M1 Mac Mini.

I think that your parent commenter looked up the etymology of the English word 'human', which comes from humus (earth).

I think they read the grandparent post as suggesting that the English word 'human' came from Arabic, rather than your (correct) inference that they meant the Arabic word for human.

> rejecting the result of free and democratic elections

Source that the past US election was free and democratic?

You don't need to answer. I admit, it is a bit of a troll question. I, and most Americans, believe that the reason that Biden appears to have won is because he won the most delegates who where selected based on a majority of the legal votes in their corresponding states. One of the reason that I trust the result of the election is because throughout history people have questioned the results, passed laws allowing many observers from all sides, kept a paper trail, and preformed recounts when the result was close and questioned. If, however, we are no longer allowed to question if the election is free and democratic, then I will no longer trust the results.
Yep cost of capital != inflation

Yes, I understand that we can and should always install our own, and I have for years either with Homebrew or Conda. (Actually most of my development is python on Linux via Vagrant).

But on the M1 Mini, out of the box, you can open Terminal, and python3 launches the Python 3.8 REPL. Python 2.7 also launches out of the box. So, can you explain what you mean by "direct access" not being allowed? I'm not following your distinction.

It's damn convenient having python always available when managing a fleet of Macs with JAMF.

The longer I work in tech, the less silly it seems to have "English minor" on my resume.
I don't agree that this is the relevant context.

The Chinese Anti-ship ballistic missiles (AShBM) are veery different beasts. First of all, they have a different trajectory that is more difficult to intercept, so that they can maintain lower altitudes.

These lower altitudes allows the ballistic missile to maneuver. This makes their trajectory unpredictable, which makes missiles like the SM3 almost useless.

In combination with this, China also has hypersonic glide vehicles, which are not only harder to target, but also fly on non-ballistic, fully unpredictable trajectories at such altitudes that the horizon becomes a real issue.

To top it all off, China and Russia are both in the advanced stages of construction (Russia is farther ahead and should Comission them soon) hypersonic cruise missiles, with possible sea-skimming terminal modes.

All in all, the SM3 missile is pretty much useless against that threat.

The better explanation is that this is a test that congress asked for, and that if anything is more suitable to target North Korea, not that it's very likely it would be perfectly effective against North Korea as they have second-stroke capability and sure as hell won't send a single missile with a single warhead, more like 15 real missiles with a mix of decoys and nukes plus multiple dummy missiles with no real payload. But it's a start against a North Korea class threat.

Anyways, here's a lesson from modern warfare, never rely on countermeasures.

Pet peeve: style != fashion

Style can't really be captured in simple rules, but is easy to recognize. You know when you see a stylish person, even if you can't put your finger on why that is.

Fashion is a vehicle to sell you more crap. It's a maze of ever-changing rules that you're supposed to navigate or risk a fashion faux-pas.

If the advice comes in the form of rules like "always leave the bottom button of a waistcoat undone", run away.

If it's more like,"an off the shoulder design is more flattering for larger sizes", pay attention.

But also: you can wear whatever you want. The difference between a faux-pas and a bold fashion statement is confidence and (sadly) attractiveness of the wearer.

So wear what makes you feel good/confident. That's your best investment.
I don't think you understand the meaning of the word "objective". By what objective measure were they more corrupt than the CCP or the U.S.?

Charlemagne exhibited control and influence over a smaller chunk of Europe than the current E.U. The U.S. can almost bankrupt any country at will by freezing it out of the banking system and imposing sanctions.
I felt the same way for most of the same reasons - plus other reasons like my father was about as bad a person as is possible. So I had not only disinterest but some reluctance to make sure I stayed disinterested.

In late 2017, I grudgingly promised a sibling to piece some of our extended family history together. In 2018 I found a lost sister on Ancestry. And then I found a cousin who pointed me to my last surviving aunt (who I visited in 2019 and who passed 6 weeks ago). I also reunited with another lost sister. The sisters and I talk most days.

By the end of this year I will have added about 10k names in Family Search and 15k-20k in Ancestry (w/ much overlapping). It's safe to say my interests changed. I'm not saying I think yours will. Certainly my genealogy numbers don't represent anything likely.

What I can say is that things change, sometimes unexpectedly.

The density drops off but it's still good density. It's not a problem. And the amount of CPU you need to do the bit shifts is negligible.

Shift JIS requires you to track extra context when you're actively using the text. That's going to take extra space. I bet that in most of the situations where shift JIS meaningfully wins out, you could get more benefit by using a combination of UTF-8 and Zstd.
Hi OP, sorry for the aside, but how do you take good looking terminal photos like the first pic in the post?

I always found it strange that Apple so early in it’s history setup a factory in a provincial town in a small country on the edge of Europe. I would love to the know the backstory how Ireland attracted American tech companies in the 80s. Henry Ford setup a factory in Cork because his father came from the county.

It reminds me of Delorean (Back to the Future car) setting up a factory in Northern Ireland because the British government gave them a lot of money to do so. Though that didn’t last as long.

EDIT: Looks like they got a 10 year tax holiday (zero tax). They were the last to take advantage of it because the EU wanted it stopped. After 10 years they found a way to work around EU rules otherwise they would have moved to Singapore.
I would also think that the "social" in "social media" refers to human interaction and conversation.

What a great article and comments :) Since I was a kid I would "replay" events. In grade school I could (and would) recite the Star Wars movies on the playground. I was a freak.

At 35 I haven't lost it yet but for at least 50% of my life have been a HEAVY marijuana user because it helps dull this problem.

School was easy but dreaming is a nightmare. Again, drugs are the the only thing that helps. I hate having such vivid dreams and remembering all the awful details. I remember dreams from decades ago like I had them last night. It's horrible mostly, again, marijuana was a God send.

Killing my memory with drugs and alcohol isn't great but I've found it better than the alternative and often discuss with my therapist how jealous I am of people that waltz through life confidently forgetting all their screw up and mistakes.

Would be interesting to see distributions compared. I imagine it to be similar everywhere: most stuff is owned by not that many people. Only difference: in Bitcoin, they might be different people, thus adding to a better distribution overall.

Also I do not consider ETFs safe at all. If you dislike Bitcoin (which is totally fine), maybe buy gold or land, since ETF composition might change, land and gold might not.
