Thanks for GitJournal. Will try it out.

I have been thinking of converting from OneNote to markdown. One thing that has been keeping me from making the switch is search, especially from mobile. Any one knows of any solution that is capable of searching through all the markdown notes similar to how OneNote does from mobile? I am thinking of hosting the notes in a RPi with Gitea or Nextcloud and access it using VPN (using Rpi as a trial and later move on to a dedicate mini PC if I end up liking this setup).
This is still my least favorite headline of all time. Ugh.
Not if you need to be able to hire a large number of developers for an investment bank. London has around 300K developers, many in fintech. There isn't that many Rust developers with say 10 -15 years fintech development experience.
This is not logical. These characters are fictional, and they have been vaguely identified with roughly a third of the premodern cultures I've ever heard of. Emphasizing their prowess in war and also illustrating them facing difficulties in war is just a trope. "The Worf Effect", to be precise. [0] It doesn't say anything about the Huns or the Turks or the Sioux or anyone.

Even telling a story about the actual Huns and how they were great at war but also they lost some wars wouldn't be demeaning. You might not have heard, but war is generally horrible for everyone involved.

What eactly do you consider "controversial" in the right to disconnect?
"The only reason to have Unit tests is to make sure that code that already works doesn’t break."

I used to think this -- now I believe they have another almost as important purpose as a sort of "check your work" step. Not necessary for every "unit," but useful when a given class/method has high (irreducible) complexity.
I worked at a computer store/ISP - the owner was a VB guy, and coded up some stuff on our intranet in it. I recall his shock that it didn't work in Netscape.
Hmm.

My post to which you are replying, directly discusses political differences, stances on specific topics, that sort of thing. Viewed externally, much of the world cannot see a difference here.

Put another way, the differences between US political parties are exceptionally tiny, when measured against the sameness of those parties.

Yet what you're describing instead, is how radicalized / unable to communicate with each other, a party may be. Or those with opposing political viewpoints. Yet I see the same degree of "They're wrong, WRONG!" coming from both main political parties in the US. From people on both sides.

I agree that this is "worse than it was".
Already this is essentially the ethos of large software companies like Google, et al. An employee is a cog that can be moved to any project or replaced/discarded as needed. [Exceptions are of course made for a handful of people they actually do value for one reason or another]. Software is treated the same if it's not a primary revenue source (even if it is profitable).

Heck, if you want a controversial opinion then arguably "disposable engineers" is an openly stated goal of programming languages like Go. [I'm not sure I'd entirely agree with this opinion but I wouldn't entirely disagree either].
So what's your plan to solve the problem? The kids should just try harder not to have their videos end up on pornhub?
I spent part of my career working in the US, and now I work in Germany, and I can say the labor laws make a huge difference. Some would say this type of law hampers innovation, but at some level if there is not a basic fair playing field set for everyone, there will always be the incentive for some to over-work to get ahead.
The LD-JSON data is quite limited. I looked at this page

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

I went and used this

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/openlink-stru...

and the JSON-LD data comprised of "wrapper metadata" for the document, a photograph of that person, and a link to a concept in Wikidata where you would find some of the facts that you'd be looking for if you mistook the wikipedia page for the person.

The page at Wikidata for that person

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q553449

has the birth date, gender and other facts such as he taught at both Cornell and Stanford and also links to identifiers for that person in many bibliographic databases.
When you said "trust" I wondered who benefits, and my first thought was that the company that doesn't have to deal with the sick days is the winner. The company is trusting to come to work as many days as we physically can?

How is that better than just giving everyone the same number of days to manager as sick or personal for themselves?
That could be, although it is more than likely a small percentage because so many people do not agree with the cause.
There was something about the writing in her email that felt.. loaded and questionable without enough factual assertions to carry her point.

In Jeff Dean's email, he made one point that could be pretty salient: she submitted the paper for approval right at deadline. If that's true, that is poorly handled.

The ultimatum is easily a step too far.

And all of this right before a vacation/holiday.
Kotlin is just yet another guest language on the JVM, written in a mix of Java, C++, no Kotlin code around, neither today nor tomorrow.

Google is pushing Kotlin as hard as they can on Android, while leaving Android Java dialect stagnate on a pseudo Java 8 compatibility, they have a political agenda to play here.

Spring just goes after any shiny thingie that might bring users into their domain, Groovy, Clojure, Scala, and now Kotlin.
I mean, Google spends billions on lobbying and PR, so if you heard anything new and bad about her in the past day or two you gotta wonder.

Her job involves ethics, if you're not stirring the pot a bit you're probably not doing ethics and just acting as PR for your company?

*Also, while my reply is source/fact free your comment is as well, so I think they're both reasonably at the same level.
I think you meant "For web:" instead of "For mobile:" (I'm talking about desktop for both web and native)

Yep, I think you're right. By default the web sandboxes you into a naive client. I'm hoping to change that with still doing everything locally.
Oh it's most certainly propaganda combined with karma farming. Ever notice how there is a steady steam of anti-trump content, contrasted with pleasant photos of Obama with a title harkening back to the good old days of his administration? You'll also notice that these posts get savaged in the comment section and yet still have 80% positive upvote ratings?

If you see something you suspect is propaganda on r/pics, just ask yourself, what is the user who submitted it trying to make me feel? What associations are they trying to form in my mind between the subject of the photo and the title?
It was like pulling my own teeth yesterday to make myself work on the Angular app at my job. After work I couldn't wait to work on Advent of Code, so I did some problems from previous years until the new problem was available. Then, when I couldn't sleep, I installed an IDE on my phone and did some more in bed.

I can think of a lot of reasons why. The AoC problems have a bite-sized satisfaction that a messy real world app may lack, for one thing. But mostly I think it's yet another symptom of procrastination.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I'm this close to pulling the trigger on the Oryp6.
How does this affect freedom of movement of workers? Could we not have freedom of movement with slightly different laws in different countries? Does every little thing relating to the labour market need to be regulated centrally?

It's just one of those things that always goes in one direction. Central regulation is just piled on.
By law, they don't count. The 28 days might be 20 days of your choice, plus the 8 bank holidays.

Most professional jobs give 28+8 (or more, I had 30+8 which slowly increased to 33+8).
WASM sqlite3 in the browser because of complex SQL queries? Why not just use PostgreSQL and refactor to make API calls with GraphQL or something?

Did you personally sell millions of books on your own? Probably you used some service like amazon in order to sell those books and fulfil the orders, in this hypothetical, in which case the lefty argument would be that you are indirectly profiting from the exploitation of both amazon's workers and the employees of the printing company.
Seriously. A hypothetical that hasn't happened isn't a valid rebuttal.
Network configs TODAY in Linux often show ethernet network cards as having the name ethx, where x is the number of the card. I think it really depends on where you look.

To disprove this, one must simply enumerate the 2000 or so billionaires and determine how they each made their money; then categorize them and see if a significant percentage (say, 5%? 10%) do not fit these five criteria.
What’s the basis for the distinction or that choice of word? Why not just say bread is more widely valued than a the dollar?

The way that amazon has delighted their users, for a long time, was to heavily grow by reinvesting all their money into both expansion and subsidizing their infrastructure. That is simply not a path a small shop can take because they don't have investors. Nor do they it want to. Nor should they have to.
> City parking is really my only option to avoid taking public transit and risk getting and spreading COVID.

You didn't need to buy a car and avoid taking public transit to risk getting and spreading COVID. Likely every single one of the places you've gone by car have been more risky than taking the train or bus.

Multiple research articles have found no link between public transport and the spread of COVID, even when looking at places like Seoul and Tokyo where transit use is much higher. The risk of catching COVID is higher at the grocery store than on a bus.

I sympathize with why you thought you needed to do that and I genuinely hope you will dispose of the vehicle once the pandemic is over. Humans are terrible at evaluating risk, and people's sudden impulse to buy a car when that's not where the risk lies is an example of this.
Some of the most successful YC companies are: Stripe, Airbnb, Cruise, DoorDash, Coinbase, Instacart, Dropbox, Gusto, Reddit, and Gitlab.

I guess DoorDash and Instacart are accused of participating in the exploitative gig economy. Airbnb is accused of circumventing hotel laws (is that exploitation?)

The other 7 on my list are pretty okay though, right?
Fostering research on new web security threats
I had an interview a few years ago where they literally hauled out some of their legacy code (unstructured PHP written in the PHP 4 era), and asked me to make a list of what I'd do to clean it up and make it more manageable. No coding involved.

It was a very pleasant experience from this side too and allowed me to express all of my domain knowledge without making a significant investment. This is such a great approach IMO.

The juniors won’t be fired either, but they don’t know that and usually get abused because of it.

If a company expects you to crunch, that means there’s too much work. If there’s too much work, it’s extremely unlikely that somebody doing a decent job would be fired.
I find the fragmentation interesting. In the mid to late 90s when I was first on the internet, the "prominent search engines" ranked (given to me by my ISP and some other sites) was something like AltaVista, Yahoo, InfoSeek, with Webcrawler and Hotbot down at the bottom. I believe my ISP distributed IE (3 at the time) with whatever internet software cd they included, and it was my first and default browser. Later on I tried installing Netscape Navigator, but it felt slow and clumsy compared to IE3 at the time, so I never understood why anyone used it. It's quite interesting how our internet experiences were so different!

What is the same between us however is I also learned coding practically by first starting to make HTML pages, and some Javascript, and that was also my way into the technical field (decade and a half of working as a software engineer now). Like, sure, there were computer programming classes in school and every class used Pascal at the time (Quick or Turbo). It didn't feel like creating anything useful for the real world though; whereas with the web, I was immediately creating something for the world to see. I'd say learning to make web pages on my own was 99% of the reasons I became a software engineer later. The programming classes in high school, not so much.

Eat Just to sell lab-grown meat in Singapore after regulatory approval
We ported our game development software Construct [1] from a Windows desktop app to the browser in 2017, and haven't looked back since - it's been great!

The approach of "local app in the browser" works very well and is underrated IMO. It's the approach we use too - everything is downloaded via a Service Worker for offline support, and it's very responsive as nothing needs to wait on the network, unless the user chooses to (e.g. saving their work to Google Drive).

Chrome 86 also introduces the File System Access API [2] which is the icing on the cake - you can get read/write access to actual local files and folders, bypassing any issues about IndexedDB limits or persistence. I think this is one of the last pieces of the puzzle to make tools like Electron and NW.js more or less redundant, as now you can just do it directly in the browser and not have to ship the whole runtime around to everyone as well.

Given the number of people I know who privately think that she resigned rather than got fired and similarly won't speak out (there's tons of internal threads talking about her being fired from what I can tell here), I think it actually is a small percentage.

I used to have programming as a hobby but now it's been my job for over a decade and I don't really spend any of my free time on it. Maybe I'm lucky with the positions I pick but I still feel like I'm learning plenty at the job. If I don't I usually get bored and start looking for something else.

> I don't see why they wouldn't be able to do it

There can easily be plenty of critical knowledge employees who don't like the idea of their homeland now being occupied and would rather migrate to Singapore or Australia or something.

China clearly needs these people, otherwise they would already have a factory of their own going.
It is unfortunate that way too many commenters on a prior threads dismissed her as a some twitter personality and trivialized her body of work in spite of the fact that she is well regarded and reputable in the ML community.

It's becoming clear a rising number of her colleagues are in support of what she was seeking to publish. A reviewer on reddit mentioned the authors have plenty of time to make revisions if there were issues with the content. Not to mention, supposedly the internal reviewing processes are usually limited to the extent of sensitive disclosure and rarely the contents of the literature. Yet, emails from Google leadership seems to imply retraction was needed, providing very little reason.

The opaqueness of the internal feedback and expectations are highly suspicious and I was suprised to see no one bothered to question it. People have been bringing up the 2 weeks, yet internal Brain researchers have refuted that have never seen a policy like this excercised. It does appear as an attempt to suppress an important paper that was critical of another colleagues work (BERT) and the employer's intended research goals. It's similar to the kind of pushback Greenwald most recently received - yet the reactions here have been distinctly flipsidded - in support towards Google executives no less and unsympathetic to the researcher.
People have already minced words over "exploitation" and where to exactly draw the boundary between acceptable/tolerable and not. It strikes me personally as flimsy reasoning to harp on his writings.

If you're going to build a business and you hope to make money, you're going to have to EXPLOIT inefficiencies in markets, competitors, customers, processes, conventional modes of thinking, and so on. Doesn't matter if the business is making you a dollar or a million or a billion.

And also, this whole "scandal involving workers or consumers". YC's portfolio has plenty of companies who are making a killing with revenue who haven't had to do this.

Patrick Collison is a regular poster on here. Go ahead and tell him he's exploiting people and he's scandalous with workers and consumers. I'd like to see someone go to one of the successful YC alumni and say directly at them half the shit you people spout out into the nether.

As I have mentioned in a comment to the throwaway account in this thread - I sincerely think a lot of commenters on here either have no experience or no ambition in starting a business, never mind getting a healthy revenue stream. Hell, I wonder what the percentage here is who got as far to having to talk to clients.

What bad info has come out about her, that was not released by her or her allies?

I know her from her communications with LeCun, and from the emails she herself (or someone allied with her) leaked, that were posted in the original article outlining her "firing".

From those things, I know enough that I would avoid her at all costs because of her toxicity. You can have the loftiest ideals and goals in the world - that doesn't mean you can act with impunity and any action of yours is unquestionably good.
In the real world projects, with the developers you can get, and the time frames you are given, not the developer you might want and any amount of time, Java can be a better choice.
Nearly all lower income employees in the US don’t have sick days, or any paid time if they don’t come to work. If they aren’t working, they aren’t getting paid.

Additionally, they are not qualified for unemployment benefits if they are fired due to it being the employee’s fault they could not work.
There are lots of terrible js devs, because js is easy to start with.

I bet most js devs would not be able to make a "hello world" in C. And pointers? What is that?

So for those people(not meant in a negative way) it is good that they can use a language to get things done, even if they have no academic background.
I don't work for Google but the abolition of mayonnaise is a cause I can get behind.
Eh, I've always seen this as the counterpart of the old meme that there are no bad languages, only bad programmers.

He's not going to get many C programmers to adopt his language if he gets on stage and announces C is a crap language and anyone who thinks their code doesn't have memory bugs just hasn't found them yet. Is this asshole saying I'm bad at my job?

On the other hand, if he says that of course you, dear reader, have never coded a bug in your life - it's other programmers who do that, and this new language will help you collaborate with those poor unfortunates? That's an easier pill to swallow.
