I guess it depends if you would believe it. For me, taking an extremely small bite from a friends dish or observing people eating it while describing their experience could do it. I would be able to fill the details from analogous experience.

Maybe just imagining the experience does it too? I would intellectually know that I never aten it but I would be sure that I know how it is due to having experienced other fish and I can simply adjust the analogous experience to match the details I know about the experience I imagine having. This way I would be able to extrapolate details as if I had it for real.
Validation of the longest chain, agreed upon by the protocol which the nodes are running. This is the absolute fundamental of this technology. This is not new and it has been working for more than a decade.
Some Twitter accounts definitely remind me of long-forgotten Veblen. Not conspicuous consumption, but conspicuous virtue.
If management don't understand the projects, and they generally don't, what are they really managing? Oh yeah, get the pay but use position as shield and sword.. You'll see the few exceptions are acting more like a PM, on and off.
I am not going to be the first one to say that Wokeness has become the perfect 21st century version of Puritanism for SJW. Take a look at some BLM protests and how people wanted to chant, display repent for their sins, subjugate in Communion, etc.

And the worst part of it all is how SJWs all claim to be against collonialism and how they want to defend diversity, yet don't realize how the ideology is spreading around the world turning everything into an echo chamber of myopic morals.
In Norway, the number of suicides decreased from 206 March-May in 2018 to 140 this year [0]. The authors say it can be a random fluctuation, but it seems to be the lowest number since 2014 (2019 numbers not available yet)

Equity is worthless if it fails. I've done a lot of equity deals and all of them have failed, except the ones I'm on board in.

If they're paying you for code, chances are you're not a passive investor and the company could likely die without your continued input. It might not be code, but instead something like interviewing engineers, support and maintenance, among other things, and would likely be "volunteered" work next time.

You'll have to factor that it's not a one-off deal. The risk goes lower with further investment of time and effort.

And while you say you believe in the product, it raises the question whether the founders can pull it off; a great product and half assed founders will usually fail, while a great founder and mediocre product will usually succeed.

Right now, it sounds like you're taking on the role of a temporary tech founder and can actually negotiate a substantial amount, more than you think it's worth. Unless you're going to take on a godfounder kind of role, you should probably take on an artificially low equity so you don't take the space of a really good tech founder in the future.
Does anybody here use F# in a Linux shop? I'm generally keen on the more functional languages, but have tended to avoid F# under the assumption that if I use F# I'll probably also end up needing to use Windows to get the most out of it (or get a job using it).
I've only heard of unethical companies firing people immediately without honouring the notice period.

It's definitely not common place and should not be encouraged except under severe circumstances e.g. violence, criminality etc.
I think you're missing the massive point that someone thought that doing it in a non-anonymous way would have resulted in retribution. That is not defensive, it's offensive. You seem to be missing the fact that the woman seems quite happy to try and bury people over seemed transgressions.

Someone thought they HAD to goto HR to provide the feedback because no other way was safe. If you want to act about the scientifc review process, that should never happen and when it does there should be serious action taken.
It's extremely unlikely that the universe compels scientists to make certain measurements at certain times in a conspiracy to make quantum physics look real.

Yep, all these workarounds get used because some people force their sensibilities on everybody else. Obviously, the real divide is between "rich" and "poor" countries, but it's too "cruel" or "crass" to call things what they are. It seems that the poor don't mind that much, but the term is especially offensive for the rich, as it induces guilt in some of them and a fear of retribution in others. Anyway, whatever else is used in place of rich/poor, is bound to comically fall flat on its face, i.e.:

- "third world" should include Switzerland and Austria, as they were neutral during the cold war

- "developing countries" should not include places in major wars or civil wars (such as for example not Yemen), as they're clearly not developing, but rather deteriorating.

- as you point out, "global south" should include the wealthy Australia.

It also expands into other examples of hypocrisy, such as the term "African-American", which is just an euphemism for black Americans (which itself suggest that being black is bad somehow), but due to its clumsiness also includes lots of non-black people, such as Tunesian-Americans (no black people there).
Something that always seems to get missed is successful projects are linked to motivation. If everyone in the project is motivated to make it a success it's more likely to be.

Use an old technology none of the programmers are interested in and they go find other jobs or not work very hard as they put there efforts into their more interesting side projects..

As an example, projects linked to fulfilling legal requirements normally succeed because the motivation is strong - failure = fine/prison time.

Most projects I've seen failure where senior managnent doesn't want the project anymore but need a way of getting rid of it while saving face. Classic way is to pass the project onto another department...
Bat[1] can also colorize man pages quite nicely. The advantage being it will also highlight C code etc.

Thing is, if you make a reasonable service available, "the vast majority of homeless people who are sleeping on mates' couches" will be competing for the same spots with those who actually are sleeping on the streets otherwise.

If some sort of safety net is available, then some people who'd otherwise find some solution to pay rent - whether it's going over their heads in payday loans or getting into petty crime or resorting to prostitution or some other way - some of them will choose to actually use that safety net instead. So the demand for that safety net if it's available should be expected to be larger than the number of people who "fell through" in the absence of it.
Was this outcome that difficult to predict based on the hiring interviews, and based on prior articles and public statements? In other words, would this come as a surprise to a half decent hiring manager and hiring committee?
It’s non-obvious what the consequences of suppressing free speech are. You can’t just assume an equivalent between that and fascism or socialism. Today, Germany bans certain kinds of hate speech, as a result of its previous experience.
> Linux is pretty much the original open source project

It's not. GNU pre-dates Linux by nearly 10 years. But even if you're talking strictly about kernels, 386BSD and Hurd were started before Linux.

> Just fork the repo and maintain 32 bit code yourself if you want to keep it.

I've often noticed -- and not just on here -- that when commenters prefix "just" to a sentence, the work involved is usually non-trivial.
I think most (if not all) modern PCI-E GPUs still supports this. If I am not mistaken, this is what is preventing them from working on ARM right now (Raspberry PI 4, Apple M1, etc.), because the driver expect specific BIOS features
Imagining Marconi or Alexander Graham Bell storming off in a huff because someone said shit they don't like using their technology. Technology which obviously has been used for far more horrible things collectively than the internet or .... IPFS.

This attitude, however popular it may be among the coddled infants of current year, is a form of barbarism. Being threatened by ideas is hilariously insecure unless you believe your ethical and ontological system is a network of lies. Hell current year ding dongs fall apart into a froth at the mere writing of words -let alone the formation of them into something resembling ideas.

FWIIW IPFS is amazing, and fortunately doesn't need the contributions of such people to thrive.
IceOryx – True zero-copy inter-process-communication
Enabling Virtually Limitless Data Transmissions at Constant Time

In domains such as automotive, robotics, and gaming, huge volumes of data must be transferred between different parts of the system. When operating systems, such as Linux, are used, the data must be transferred using Inter-Process Communication (IPC) mechanisms. Eclipse iceoryx is middleware that uses a zero-copy, shared memory approach to optimize inter-process communications.
In here that only means a guaranteed minimal salary, agreed upon yearly by the tripartity (government, employers union, employees union), jobs are classified into 8 categories. Higher category means higher guaranteed minimal salary, but it is most of the time payed better than that, so this is usually below market rock bottom. Examples are: 1st category is kitchen helper, 2nd is janitor, 3rd barber, 4th nurse, 5th preschool teacher, 6th network admin, 7th dentist, 8th CFO. IT jobs are category 4-8.
In Denmark you're only allowed to strike under certain circumstances, and primarily strikes happen every three years when collective agreements between unions and employers needs to be renewed.

This makes strikes a rare happening, and usually very predictable.

For any application of meaningful size, "science and technology" cannot be divorced from "ideology and politics".

I'm not blaming you solely but the recurring idea that it can is worrying.
You can’t explain a change with a constant. We’ve had capitalism for centuries. Far right and Islamic terrorism are not new, but they have risen greatly, and their spread is linked to extremism on the internet.
> Just doesn't have as good marketing as those.

And maybe documentation too. Turbolinks has really good docs and conceptually it's pretty easy to get going (1 line of JS and learning a few event handlers). Alpine and StimulusJS have really good docs / guides and tons of practical examples if you Google for a specific problem you're trying to solve.

Unpoly's docs seem like it's mostly an HTML front-end to their API spec with very few examples. It's kind of difficult to figure out how to use most of what it does. There's also very little practical examples of using it if you Google around.

I've heard of it in the past but never got into it because of the above.
Unilaterally changing the date would make it a termination.
What a nice funky design. That front page has a soul, unlike almost everything else I see nowadays.
Timnit claims she was fired, you’ve completely erased that part from the discussion and used it to prove a point about journalistic integrity. You provided a link to a massive discussion that has clearly not yet been able to piece through the details. When I asked you why you were so confident in your position that Timnit was clearly in the wrong and rightfully terminated because she didn’t comply with what Google told her to do, you decided that I lack journalistic integrity.

Google, talking through Jeff Dean, claims that Timnit was unhappy with her situation and submitted a good faith resignation which Google accepted due to her not following their policies. Timnit claims that she was forced into a position where she had to issue her ultimatum, forcing her into a resignation. And we have claims from Google employees saying that the process she had was unusual and did not match a normal review. Isn’t the true journalistic malpractice ignoring this and claiming that any title that doesn’t match your view, which appears to be Google’s view of the situation is inaccurate?
Not hashcat which is primarily GPU, but smhasher which is CPU only.

There it is as expected comparable to fast aarch64 phones with 2.5GHz, faster than 2GHz laptops.
Neon is not as fast as AVX2, only comparable to AVX, and has no AVX512.
Ie. 2x slower than a Ryzen with 2x higher clocks, but comparable to old Desktop CPU's.
While I regularly rely on `man` (and would agree with you for systems that have it), I'd also like to add that you should consider people on other systems, as well.

I'm still stuck on Windows for work, and e.g. the way Git (at least the Windows version from git-scm.org) handles this is problematic.

Something like `git --help` will open the URL to a help page (that also takes ages to load) in the browser. Manpages don't exist and there is no useful substitute. And this in a Git distribution that ships with its own GNU environment (MSYS2). And then, there's Git LFS, for which I haven't even found a working help command yet.

While the original idea might have been that the terminal way of looking things up is too confusing for Windows users (which I find ironic, given that said users installed a terminal program), I find it still makes Git even more arcane on this platform.

Edit: Coming back to `man`: Git is in the useful position of shipping their own GNU environment. That means, they could still introduce manpages. Other, small CLI utilities usually don't have that luxury. In those cases, some kind of access to the information in the manpage would still be very handy, even if it is just in `tool --help`.

this myth gets repeated and has no basis in reality. people in every city that offer any kind of service for the poor think that this attracts poor people. i guess it’s easier to believe that people are choosing to cheat society than society failed to provide for them
I'd rather have them visible than underground. If the radicals can grow, it shows that there are problems that need to be addressed. Address their core problems using reasoning, no more reasons to be radical. It's better for everyone.

No-one knows fully without seeing her employment contract.

But having worked at many companies similar to Google in similar roles it is not normal for (a) contracts to not have notice periods and (b) for companies to not honour them.

And IP-flight risk is a concern for many roles but it's typically handled through legal channels as we've seen with Uber.
Icons in GUIs are commonly used for interactive elements. Most
CLI tools are not interactive, they just produce some output and
the user expects that output to be easy to parse and compatible
with as many terminals as possible.

You can easily output tables, bullet lists and many other things
just with basic symbols supported everywhere. If your CLI
program requires installing fontawesome or breaks in a terminal
multiplexer etc. I'm probably not going to use it.

How about reducing the use of this chemical in tires first? Seems more doable to me than upending how civilization works.
So rare that a very similar one happened in the French Riviera just some months after?

Anyway, the point is that we can not solve social issues with technological solutions. You are just acting on the symptoms but still never going to get a cure. Block a "cancerous" open site, and crazy sick people are just continue to do what they do in a darker corner of the net.

If they have those admirable middle class traits were they born that way? Or is cultural and social inheritance as influential as genetic inheritance?

I used to live in an upper middle class area, and a worrying number of the people were very polished thieves. They spent an unholy amount of time fighting over inheritances with other family members and over property boundaries with neighbours. When they worked - inevitably as land owners, landlords, upmarket real estate agents, investment advisors, lawyers, company directors, horse breeders, and so on - they'd always pad their bills and expenses, inflate their prices, and cheat on their taxes.

Were they "successful" - in the sense of being very comfortably off? Of course they were.

Did they try to marry their own? Naturally - out of snobbery and opportunism if for no other reason.

Were they admirable human beings or truly productive members of society? Not noticeably. Between the drink and drug problems, the predictable infidelities and ensuing dramas, and the polished and educated facade hiding feral greed and entitlement, they looked good from the outside - not so much from the inside.

If you don't own shares/stocks to any significant extent your labour goes to supporting these people. They make a lot of money from "investments" and pretend this is a glorious, noble, and risky social service. In fact they're simply skimming money from the top of the economy into their own pockets - effectively wasting it when it could be put to work doing something innovative for future generations.
Most of what you say is useful common sense, but the bit about not bothering with manpages is plain evil. If anything, the man page must be written before the program interface!
> Understand that the Internet has absolutely nothing to do with the 'truth'. The truth comes from examination, and the legitimacy of the examiners, purveyors of information. If that legitimacy does not exist, then the truth is just whatever everyone wants it to be.

Ironically this sounds just like the kind of argument Thomas More would have made against Erasmus. And he’d have referred to Münster just as you refer to Rwanda.

Again, OP didn't argue against that argument. What OP implied is that young adults PLANNING mass shootings on the INTERNET is miniscule.

In other words, he's not arguing against the claim that a lot of mass shootings are organized by young people and that most of them happens in the Us.

He's saying that young adult planning those attacks on the internet is miniscule.

Especially in the second peak, excess mortality also include patients with other underlying health conditions that couldn't, or didn't want to, access health services. In the UK cancer referrals have been at an all time low for example.
As for consistency between programs, that's what vim keys accomplish for keymap. I used to be skeptical about these despite being a vim user. But viewed as a way to make programs more consistent, it's good.

What kind of computation machine is the universe?
Could it be that a black hole is a loop, a recurrence call in this system. Could this be tested by forcing the machine to perform many delayed computation at once, line in a supernova ?, could it be that gravity and time measure the speed of computation of a local node?, can we design an experiment to count the number of local clusters of this machine?, is the computational power of this machine an input for the machine, i.e, it is self-regulated?
Just nonsese.
And taking on massive student loan debt (also government subsidized) that you spend the majority of your adult lifetime paying off is only true for a few decades at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century. I don't know why you're married to this concept as the end-all, be-all only option for education financing, especially when there is an endless flood of people saying how it personally harmed them.

There are absolutely not enough foreign students to keep shoring up US universities. Many mid and lower tier schools are already experiencing cash flow problems. Many should and probably will close.

There's no law of nature that demands you have to spend $40k a year to have someone tell you what Hamlet is about just so you can be qualified to come up with a new marketing campaign for a soft drink or whatever you end up doing. Most jobs don't require anything you learn in college, so why are we forcing kids into a lifetime of indentured servitude just so they can get a degree?
