> fully legalizing now would violate a number of important treaties with other countries.

As far as Marijuana goes, those treaties are on a path to being a dead letter, anyway. Canada and Uruguay, Mexico almost certainly by the end of the year...

And, in fact, the US, given its federal nonenforcement policy (which, is, in part, statutorily mandated in federal law) in states that have legalized, is already in open and flagrant violation of them, anyhow, so that's not a change with legalization.
I banned the reddit URL from my laptop so i cant go on it anymore. The extreme left wing bent is nuts, I had to go to 4chan unfortunately. Free speech used to be an ideal for the internet, now you can only get it on a few websites which is too bad. Also a lot of botting and astroturfing from foreign nations and those looking to curry support. On the business side, I can see reddit slowly becoming a new quora.

You agree with some pretty awful things then. And any reasonable person would have a problem with the things listed.
But can't you identify the signal of the input and output and write small test cases to test just the signal?

Snaps test the signal + noise. They help alert you when either changed, which is helpful if you think you may be missing tests for the signal, but ideally you would just make sure all the signal is tested, and the snaps would be just a later, independent sanity check tool.

Obviously you know the details and often once I learn the details I'm like "oh yeah in this case I see how the cost benefit makes sense". Just more speaking in generalities.

Child labor is probably not caused by the demand for clothes, though. On the contrary, without those jobs, the situation of those families would be even more perilous.
I love my raw denim jeans, and assume they're likely better at holding up - certainly moreso than general brands.

For work (if style is less of a concern), Duluth Trading makes pants that last an order of magnitude longer than carhartt.

A word to the wise though; while my raw denim jeans are several years old now and in good condition, you sounds like you're dramatically harder on your clothes than myself.
Apple has a 10 year lead time on Google for running OSes on in-house Silicon. If there is no intention to compete with Qualcomm, how are they going to get the economies of scale problem down to where the chips are affordable + performant?

If you are a professional and spend 10 hours a day at your computers, you will realize the quality of the screen matters a lot.

As seen developer with 1080p at 14" inch I cannot stand the ugly fonts you get.

It's not just about real estate. Just out side by side a 1440p/retina screen next to a 1080p and you will see the difference.

It's ok if you value battery, good for you. But saying there is no advantage is ridiculous.
Could I get your source for this? I've never heard that climate change was taught in public school decades ago.
Absolutely - I can't buy into the "don't write man pages" idea.

For many years I've had this function in my RC files for macOS:

pman() { man -t "$@" | open -f -a Preview; }

It opens the given man page in Preview, typeset beautifully. No such thing is available for random text printed to the console, nor is a console pager (as recommended by this article) an acceptable substitute for this.
Great post! Agree 100%

Sometimes you change waist size. Sometimes you get a new job and no longer need four blazers in your closet.
I feel that what happened with tech is that there were two things occurring simultaneously: one, there were many new useful ideas possible to build with IT that were not possible before and that delivered genuine value. With companies like Amazon or Airbnb or Google you had genuinely motivated "builder" founders who were first to scale, kind of like when a dam breaks and the water rushes out.

But, the second, more negative thing is that a lot of the inefficiencies removed by these companies were in the form of livelihoods for many people, or adherence to various regulations and laws that was a lot easier to omit with IT in the middle. Examples would be the Mom-and-Pop retail stores going out of business or Uber breaking taxi regulations.

Like you said, Bezos didn't set out to bankrupt Mom&Pop, it was just an unfortunate side-effect of using IT. The thing that I think pg is missing is that projects where this happens are exploitative to a degree, and is why they get rightfully criticized.
Yeah, makes me think how narrow minded can those "good" players really be? Their statements are truly ridiculous.

Of course same with the notion of "elo hell". I would be deeply ashamed of myself if I would defy all logic and sense to find excuses for my lack of skill.
If oyu are paid by Google, Google has a right to vet your external work related to your position.
> ...nor are they so numerous that iterating over them is computationally difficult

That's not correct; for a given bound x, the expected number of primes is x/ln(x).

For example, if you need to choose a prime of 100 digits, there are something like 10^96 of them; you can find a random one using probabilistic methods, do your cryptography, and know that your attacker would have to try 10^96 primes to break it. Since they can't really do this, this is not the weak point of your cryptosystem.

If you chose a Mersenne prime, there are only 51 of them. Your attacker would have to try less than 10^2 of them.
Should is not the same as 'must'.

If the cookie is purely functional, and is not used for any other purposes, you are neither required to request consent nor inform, provided it is for a service the user explicitly requests.

For example, authentication, preference setting, form submission, etc. are all explicit requests.

If your cookies do not require consent, you are not required to explain them to the user (although personally I'd say it's a good practice).

EDIT: the above is not true, please check the comments below for further discussion.
Horizontal scrolling can be avoided with line-wrapping. It's not always a good way to deal with the problem, but it's useful for some edge cases.
How do you figure that? If I hold 27 off suit then I still have to be prepared to show my hand if you call me. Doesn't mean my all-in raise wasn't bluffing.
> Google went all scorched earth and it’s still unclear why

Possibly because she made a personal problem into a team/department problem by asking their colleagues to stop working ("stop writing your documents because it doesn’t make a difference"). I couldn't imagine a company where such a call for work refusal wouldn't immediately lose you a ton of goodwill.
Spending a little more, maybe 2x or 3x. After that, the quality to price ratio is no longer worth it (in my opinion).

> Drones might benefit from that trick.

Well, you could make boutique drones exploiting state of the art tech that are so expensive you can only afford three of them. Or you could just buy load of cheap throwaway drones and swarm your targets with them.

Remember, lots of drones used as ISR assets had unencrypted video downlinks because the chance that the enemy could also see the downlinks was considered less bad than the cost of rolling out state of the art crypto across coalition forces
I think we should abolish different prefixes for short/long flags except for core POSIX programs (like ls, cp, rm, mkdir, etc.) In other words, "-flag" should be interchangeable with "-flag". The ONLY reason I can think of why you would not recognize "-flag" as equal to "--flag" is because you want to recognize it as "-f -l -a -g", which makes sense for programs like ls, but for 99% of newer programs, don’t do it. Just make "-flag" and "--flag" equivalent.

People just want to turn a bag full of old concert Tees into a nice wall hanging. Few are interested in picking up a new hobby to do it.

Hand sewing a quilt is a big effort. If you love doing it, it's awesome. If you don't, it's just massively frustrating and time consuming.
Maybe they should try other lines of business then?
Moving to web development was jarring.

Same platform, different browsers, fonts render differently.

It is madness.
I vehemently disagree with just your first paragraph. (Your second and arguably more important paragraph I’m sympathetic to.) People state their feelings toward things all the time and none of it should ever be considered permanent. I’ve told my boss many times something of similar ilk, “if you’re going to have me and my team do this last minute demo when it was fully in your capacity to plan better, I’m going to be pretty unhappy.” Even to that I demand things change. Yet, for some reason, I’m not fired afterward as a “disgruntled employee” or “somebody who can’t be happy working”. I take time to understand my boss’s disposition and I strongly seek my boss to understand mine, and hopefully we end up in a better place afterward.

What’s wrong with Google saying, “we refuse to comply with your demands, and we understand you may feel blablabla. We are trying to streamline our submission process and we would like you to help us do that.”? Maybe it’s because Google doesn’t actually have a desire to work with her, in which case, the ultimatum (or whatever it truly was) is just a convenient out.

I want to add that even the economics of "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" with middle class upbringing is shrinking and that is happening fast. Case in point for HN older devs who no longer find work and yet are very knowledgeable and have lots of experience but wouldn't pass a leet code interview.
Except in this case, the chicken meat came from cells taken from eggs which were presumably in the laboratory, which came from another chicken.
Let's not forget the Progressive history with Prohibition.

We know practically everyone outside small-l libertarians is gung-ho about prohibitions and the regulating and criminalization of everyday life.
This is pretty dystopian ...

1. There exist laws to prevent discrimination against people based on protected attributes
2. ML models make predictions based on attributes without interpretability (it's not possible to prove that protected attributes are not factoring into model predictions)
3. Empirical observation that a model proxies a protected property exposes corporation to liability for regulatory non compliance
4. Therefore any study that could expose bias of a model used in production is to be road blocked or prevented ...

To combat flows like above -- seems like regulators are going to need to update rules with third party audits and an incentive structure that encourages self-regulation and derisks self-detection and self-reporting of non-intentional violations... ideally google should not be put into a position where it is incentivized to police its own ai ethics research to ensure that such research doesn't expose their own illegal/non-compliant activity ...
To be fair the author acknowledges this. To make an analogy, this seems to me more like the equivalent of ASM than the equivalent of C, the only reasonable way to make this work is to have a high-level language that "compiles down" to Hope.
Source on aerosolized transmission being proven? The discussion you're replying to is suggesting droplet transmission which are larger than aerosols and do not require an N95 mask.

Indoor dining is definitely a terrible idea, but if it's large droplets and not aerosols then you should be much better off with indoor activities where you can wear a mask.
>Now might be a good time to remind everyone that the easiest way to discriminate is to make stringent rules, then to decide when and for whom to enforce them.

Templates are turing complete and universally interpreted AFAIK (I don't think any implementation compiles them before evaluation?). There's also features like constexpr these days.
I think you missed "inadvertently".

It's one thing if the legislation is specifically targeting those contracts, quite another if the unintended consequence is much broader than you intend. It's easy enough to imagine legislators unintentionally invalidating basically all of a states employment contracts this way, for example.

> Why do you think US has so many big tech firms compared to Europe and other places? And why is there so much war between tech companies specifically in US?

Less regulation. Facebook would've hit multiple EU privacy laws before it got even medium-sized.

Uber, Doordash and others would've never gotten past EU labor laws. They're having trouble even now.

And yes, the US has a huge concentration of enthusiastic talent willing to do pretty much anything as long as it's "disruptive". Also the US has ridiculous amounts of people wit millions to waste on said disruptive ideas. (Like over-engineered juice presses).

I don't think it's the best of all possible worlds, but it is better than some.

Only a small percentage of billionaires do incredibly valuable things, but those who do are doing things that I can't imagine the US government of today ever doing. The US government would be having meetings to schedule the meeting to discuss the meeting schedule, or fighting over culture war issues.
Even the fact that the USSR had factories at all makes the concept of a factory suspect to me.

Perhaps we can institute a tax in higher income/wealthier countries and transfer that straight to the poorer countries.
I think there may already be a few rudimentary systems like that. Maybe not totally automated or convincing quite yet though. So I would assume sometime between now and five years from now depending on what your standards are.

I also believe there is already an enthusiastic community and fledgling industry dedicated to deep fake detection.
Don't compare floats vs floats with an exact comparison.

I've recently seen a version of this error where someone's code was calculating how many bits a field needed to be to hold the maximum value they cared about.

bits = floor(log(max_value) / log(2)) + 1

This is playing with fire: it trusts that dividing one approximated irrational value divided by another approximated irrational value will yield a ratio equal or greater than the desired value when max_value is a power of two. Depending exactly how those approximations are rounded, log(8)/log(2) might return 2.999999999999 (bug!), or it might be 3.000000000 (their assumption), or epsilon more than 3.0 (not a bug).

>Yeah, I've noticed a big gap in interviewee's perception of what interviews are supposed to be like, vs what I look for when conducting an interview.

This depends on the person and company doing the interview, I think. I work as a consultant implementing a specific software package and recently interviewed with a Unicorn trying to switch to mroe general purpose coding. The difference in the process is night and day. When I do interviews with consulting firms it's almost always someone with significantly more experience than me. And they are usually pretty free flowing and in depth discussions.

The Unicorn interview was 100% checking boxes. I had 4 leetcode style coding challenges and the only thing that really mattered was solving the problem. The discussion ones were pretty obviously interviewers asking questions from a piece of paper. The only goal there was to give them something good enough to write in the box so that it would pass later review.

Close for what? The lockdown is not needed in the first place. The case number may be high but the case number is not useful because it doesn't tell if a person actually sick.
most of this is solved by using big numbers, knowing about precision expansion for different fundamental operations, real numbers, and when to use rounding. it is an insightful article but honestly i wouldnt expect to use the float type for precise math. computers are fast as hell. a bigger question to me is where to actually use floats since they never seems to be what i want.
Jeff Bezos became the richest man in the history of the universe (in absolute number) by founding a company that made life a lot more convenient for a lot of people and there is value in that. We have also all read the stories about how Amazon relates to their labor force, in particular their blue collar workers, upon whom they depend for their business to succeed. Everyone has different attitudes about wealth and poverty largely relating to the class they grew up in and the one they now find themselves in (historically almost always one and the same) but the question that pg sidesteps here entirely is whether it is moral for a single individual to accumulate this kind of wealth. It's clear one can, but should they ought to? Should it be something to be ashamed of, not lauded and aspired to?

I would say yes, and I think many (perhaps not here, given the type of person who frequents this board) would agree. They would observe that while Jeff had some ideas and provided some direction, that the vast majority of the work was done by others far more talented than he in their specific role. That he happens to live in a society that routinely grants the spoils disproportionately to the organizers and not those performing the actual labor is the central critique of capitalism highlighted by Marx and to which I think pg is actually alluding, even if he doesn't realize it. This "profit" is not a surplus, and the difference between the price charged for a commodity or service and that paid in labor (less any costs in materials) is seen as inherently exploitative. I think people can reasonably disagree about the degree, there is of course value in the organization of labor and materials to provide a product or service, but wage disparities of 100 times? 1000 times? I find this to be indefensible.
The words themselves imply that the only rational thing to do is to vote selfishly, which is trivial to reject.
