Before reading, please bear in mind the author is a crazy eurosceptic who thinks the EU is a giant conspiracy against freedom/democracy/puppies.

He's also a climate change denier and he's had several articles withdrawn after factual errors were found in them.

In fairness he actually does a semi decent job of describing 2 examples of non-tariff trade barriers. He just misses out that they're the same for all trade deals that are not single markets.

Is manual fallback the only option in the case of a unrecoverable exception?
What's wrong with web to bluetooth or web browser components? Electron is pretty standard for user facing cross platform UI. This is a sort of application that has the right to use more resources - because if you're 'vibin' I don't imagine you're really needing that other 150MB to run minecraft modpacks. Perhaps if you're in VR and only have 8GB of ram.

You have to hone your expectations for free projects. Native or native-like UI toolkits are expensive on time. Time is the biggest problem with making free software for people. Now if this were a commercial product - yes I agree with the criticism. There's no reason at that point that they couldn't do GTK3, QT, flutter, etc.
We all project - I orginally interpreted "peacing out" as in "peacing out from the world", as in "dying".
Ghosting people is bad form, too.

"all it does is make people walk on egg shells in the future" - well that depends a lot on how it's done. Here, we're presented with a behavior by recruiters that is very rude, and on top of that, incredibly easy to solve. You can literally have an email template ready to go to reject people, so we're talking under 30 seconds per person to avoid ghosting. If you shame them about ghosting, given the presence of such an easy solution, they just won't do it. This isn't shaming someone for some vague belief they have about something, it's a very specific behavior.

Blameless post-mortems are a poor comparison. You're talking about the failure of a system that is contributed to and designed by a group of people who are continuously working together. Ghosting a candidate is one person doing something rude. Apples and oranges.

Your solution is not useful at all for internal recruiters - you just don't develop relationships with them, because the nature of their job is a one shot thing with each candidate. As for agencies and external recruiters, I should not have to develop a collegial relationship with them to get them to act with basic politeness. That's ridiculous. If they reach out to me to try to make money by placing me into a position, they should behave politely. If they don't, there's no reason they shouldn't be shamed, so that people can work with other recruiters who do behave properly.
The difference is that with IO, one can catch an exception, and thus write a program that branches based on evaluation order.

In this case the Haskell program itself does not observe the order, as it crashes, but the order is printed as debug inormation.

For our team, Gitlab's silver tier has been a great bank for the buck. Lots of good project management and infra tools on top of a decent git product.
But we could go deeper to find some place where we can draw the line.

We build an amazing web framework called IHP with haskell, imagine the productiveness of rails combined with the typesafety of haskell: https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/

IHP has around 230 monthly active projects at the moment, and it's growing fast. It was released 8 months ago and now is already the second biggest haskell web framework :)

I think haskell has been previously tragically underused because it was missing good documentation and pragmatic solutions that help you to get things done. Atleast in the web dev space this has changed this year. Watch our IHP demo video and you'll get it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbDtS_mUMpI

We have something that might work for your use case with Splitgraph [0] (co-founder here)!

Basically, it's a custom version of PostgreSQL that supports git + Docker-like operations (versioning, sharing, branching, delta compression, Dockerfiles for datasets etc). It's not in-memory but it runs in Docker and has some tooling built around it to make it simple to spin up and manage a throwaway DB for integration test purposes.

Here's an example of it in action in use cases like machine learning [1] where we can switch between different versions (test/train) of the dataset without having to change the client application.

Apple notes works pretty well for me
I mean that's great and all, and I'm sure you're a nice person, but irrespective of how you justify it, it's still unacceptable for a recruiter to ghost candidates.

Having been ghosted a few times I now refuse to deal with recruiters whatsoever.

The negative reputation that recruiters have is both entirely of their own making and entirely within their means to remedy. The fact that recruiters as an industry aren't trying to address this just drives home the perception that you see job candidates as a fungible commodity.
Honestly, you're probably not what this is intended for. I don't consider it ghosting until I've sent more than one emails that have not been replied to (which thankfully has only happened to me once, after an interview with Uber). If you forget to follow up, and I send a polite reply which you respond to, that's understandable.

But I agree that this app is not a good solution.
Wow, I had heard the Three Body Problem is a great book. This is very sad news.
Thanks! This is why I say the project is as much social as it is technical. The technical topics are definitely important, but the project as a whole invites scrutiny not just from developers, security engineers, etc, but also from those interested in or critical of how consent and control work in technical means, what it means to be intimate over remote mediums, etc...

As an example, one of the things I was working on right before COVID-19 hit was a book chapter on digital proxemics, i.e. how we map and relate personal space in digital realms. This project and how it's been utilized to augment online intimacy was a big part of that, and I turned in the book chapter to the publisher the week COVID-19 lockdowns started to hit in the US (still no pub date tho :( ), so it's been a lot of seeing how those ideas play out in large scale since.
This has happened to me in the past. It is especially annoying when it is a technical assignment given and you take the time to do it then you don't hear back from them. I should have know better because the recruiter was not very responsive from the get go(this was not some tiny start-up either).

I am now of the opinion that recruiters should pay people for their time now. I will no longer be doing such recruitment exercises.
I think they meant:

- Candidates can decide they are not interested in the position anymore and ghost the recruiter/employer without warning

Similarly,

- Employers can ghost candidates and recruiters

- Recruiters can ghost candidates and employers

It's a ghosting triangle. Candidates probably get ghosted the most, but certainly recruiters and employers are ghosted as well.
I'm afraid you're right.

I had a spam problem once with an app of mine.

Spammers registered accounts, put an URL in the name field, essentially allowing them to send an email to anybody starting with:

I feel bad for not following up with recruiters. They are people trying to make a living. Unfortunately most of the jobs they have just aren’t interesting or high paying enough to lure me away.
I am not sure the percentage (99%+?) but most people don't grok how money actually works, they consider it something like water or air which is looked at as a given instead of something which was created according to an engineered system. If someone doesn't understand the history of money and what money actually is they will never 'get' cryptocurrency and why it is so disruptive.

Trading goods, shells, physical gold/silver, notes of credit, private gold notes, public gold currency notes, fiat currency, credit, and finally cryptocurrency.
You don't have a relationship with the recruiter or the prospective employer. They haven't "ghosted" you, they are simply uninterested in what you have to sell, just as you "ghosted" the luxury store yesterday by looking and never buying any gold watch.

You are a luxury item, many will look, most can't afford you and will settle for something inferior and cheap. You have the good stuff and you need to continue to sell it until the right customer comes along.
From an Apple perspective openness is a feature, not a goal in itself. Youre worrying about this or that specific ARM instruction, but Apple doesn't even want you to care whether it's ARM, or Intel, Or PowerPC, or whatever. It's an Apple system, part of the MacOS ecosystem and supported by Apple dev tools and power user features.

If that's not the world you are interested in, what are you even doing owning a Mac? Apple does not try to be all things to all people the way e.g. Microsoft has.
One of those things is a text editor and the other involves extremely risky unregulated investments that some people have lost enormous amounts of money through.
How do you roadmap seems to be a question about the process not the tooling. I find the former much more important than the latter.

As far as tooling goes, smartsheets sucks and omniplan is really good !
Corporations always give you a false image that they "care about their employees", "saving them world/environment", "mission", etc. Just stop the marketing BS, they don't care about anything else than just making money at any cost, it is all an upfront.

Even improving morale has an ulterior motive- to boost productivity for profit. It is fine as corporations' sole purpose is to give shareholders value, but don't color it around HR bs to fool people. As least most companies are this way, the exceptions are few. People are not dumb once they realize they are disposable and start smelling the bs.

I think why most people complain about management is due to their false sense of leadership and character, pretending to be virtuous, while stabbing workers in the back (i.e. hypocrisy). There are not many good managers or employers- most lack real leadership or morals

If by "culture" you mean, a group of people with the same attitudes and goals- there is no denying that humans work better in groups. Just keep the "do-good" BS out please...unless you really meant it by embodying those ideals- living as example.

Before starting work on Ethereum, Vitalik worked on "colored coins", i.e. tokens on Bitcoin. The 2013 Ethereum whitepaper[1] talks about the various limitations in Bitcoin that motivated the creation of Ethereum. One of them was that tokens on bitcoin do not work well for light clients.

Boundary-anchored neural mechanisms of location-encoding for self and others
The most striking part for me:

> According to this view, incomes policies, such as government guidelines for wages and prices, are a solution to high inflation. MMT advocates see these guidelines, and even government controls on wages and prices, as a kind of arbitration in the ongoing class struggle. (MW&W, pp. 264-265)

Is the federal minimum wage an example of this? I'm a little confused, as I hear a lot of "raising the minimum wage will only cause more inflation," which seems to be completely at odds with MMT. Is this because prices aren't also controlled?
How many people have been arrested historically with just a plain ol' case of mistaken identity (i.e. they just looked alike).

"It is estimated that 83% of the U.S. population lives in urban areas, up from 64% in 1950."

Demographic shifts are weird, man.

I'm part of this big shift - I moved from a rural town in flyover country, to a giant metro area in flyover country. That metro area is most of the population of my state. It's sobering - you add up all the little rural towns and the number of people there just doesn't add up to much. That wasn't true, in the past. And it's like this in almost every state. We all moved to the city because all the farming jobs and factory jobs dried up.
Wasn't this debunked a long time ago as being just residential apartments? They're just making wild guess based on satellite imagery. Also,

If I genuinely want a specific job, I'll just reroute my process through someone else. Recruiters that ghost are my competitive advantage. I can beat that barrier where others can't. Waste your time on this if you want. It won't get you closer to your objectives.

When I was younger, a recruiter for interns at Nvidia ghosted me entirely. It left a bad taste in my mouth because the internship time was particularly stressful for me since I procrastinated till very late. In comparison, the Microsoft recruiter just told me that while they'd take me, they'd filled their capacity. Whether they were truthful or were letting me down nicely, I appreciated the response.

But that was then. I was upset at all of Nvidia back then. But at some point, the perspective shifted. Now if there's something to get, I go take it. If the recruiter ghosts me, I LinkedIn their recruiting team, Rocketreach or PeopleDataLabs myself their emails, and use an automailer to drip them with where I'm stuck in the process.

The way I see it is that punishing people is work I'd have to do to make a company more effective at something. I want a reward for that. No one will reward me for that. What they will reward me for is shotgunning everyone else.

And is anyone seriously going to GDPR or CCPA me? If they tried, I'd shit on their faces on Twitter and even if they revealed the so-called underhandedness of my tactics people will remember them as the guys who ghosted someone and then sued that guy when he tried to unghost them.

Hyperoptimize for your own objectives. Everyone else's problem is their problem.
Yeah, I mean ultimately it's basically just Yelp for recruiters. I know people get mad about public shaming, but I think that a Yelp-esque site is useful in any competitive industry - shaming the bad ones means that the good ones get more business, which is good.

Exactly. Apple benefited tremendously, especially after the Intel transition, from executives and younger employees showing up to the workplace with a shiny new MacBook Pro and just expecting it to work on the network. It started with those two groups and once IT found a way to support turn systems — or at least get them on the network/give them access to the file share — Apple didn’t need to do a lot of the glad handing for enterprise sales. If the CEO wants to use his Mac at work, IT will capitulate. And that in turn dovetailed with the broader BYOD movement with computers and phones.

Now, Xserve didn’t work for a lot of reasons, but Apple exited the server market, and even stopped making the Server variant of macOS (even though it was just a handful of utilities at the end), largely because I think it realized two things:

1. It could never truly compete with Linux (and to a lesser degree, IIS) without making significant tradeoffs that are anathema to Apple (lowering prices significantly, giving up usage control, and decoupling vertically integrated hardware/software).

2. The cost of truly making a B2B play would require resource investments and commitments into an area Apple doesn’t need to care about and that would come at the expense of areas that are both more profitable and less of a PITA.

Apple is the richest company in the world and amongst the most profitable tech companies, why would they bother with enterprise when they can allow partners to deal with the integration side and focus on doing their stuff their way.

(There is one notable instance where Apple embraced enterprise, and that was when Apple added Exchange support in iPhone OS and admittedly, this was a huge deal and was ultimately a fatal blow to Blackberry. But it’s the exception that almost proves the rule. Apple added support for Exchange but left it up to others to figure out the broader MDM situations.)

Having said all that, I have always been surprised Apple hasn’t offered some sort of build/test service themselves and integrated it into TestFlight. It could be a driver for the all-important services revenue (in my imagination, the annual developer fee would cover a certain number of build minutes a month and then additional minutes would cost money). I have to think that such a solution is either in the works or that Apple looked at the support challenges and just decided to let other people do it at scale for them.

The thing is that much of the cloud is very much a commodity and Apple has successfully made its products and services anything but a commodity.
Ok that sounds promising. I haven't really used dedicated instances so I'll have a closer look at this. Thanks!
> That's all - that's why it happens.

This is pretty insensitive to the hopes and dreams you are selling to candidates when they work with you.

It might be a numbers game for you, but to each of the people you are recruiting they have a lot on the line whether it is leaving a bad job or putting food on the table for their family or whatever else...

edit: I'm not saying you don't care - just that it seems like an organizational issue based on the amount of deals you are managing - and the job applicants don't care about any of that.
I understand the frustration with recruiters, but this is ridiculous. The vast majority of people are not vindictive enough to change professions to recruiting just so they can torture candidates. Don’t add to the toxicity of the internet with this nonsense...
> This is completely the opposite of how B2B sales work, where it is not uncommon for some development cycles to be dictated directly by a few (or even one) customer.

Development and sales (and support). Look at how many SKUs competing laptop manufacturers have because enterprises will specify some combination of ports and memory and CPU, and if the manufacturer doesn't have that particular combination, there will be no sale.

(Having said that: it's not obvious to me whether this is still as much of an issue as it used to be.)
FAA issuing new rules to allow drones to fly over people and at night
You just described the internet, no? Just without the network effects associated with being financially incentivized to use Bitcoin et al once someone buys into the system - which is why it's often associated with Pyramid/MLM schemes, no?

Epic Games with Unreal Engine/Fortnite seems to be on the verge of creating a Ready Player One ecosystem, and there will be no need for them to utilize Bitcoin - however an immutable blockchain database could be ideal, there could also be a legal framework they create and then democratically elected government laws in place to further that stance (enforce it with centralized authority if necessary).

I think the shock comes from the perception that facial recognition should have 0 false positives. Everyone would agree that it's better.
They do look similar (enough to become a potential suspect, though I don't think should be enough for a warrant), and given that police departments don't "protect" their mugshots, I wouldn't be surprised if the picture was indeed reused (or photoshopped).

But I really wonder if the same officers that dealt with the suspect also questioned the innocent victim in this case - it seems like this wouldn't be the case (and gross negligence on their part) - those people should've been able to tell them apart (instead of solely relying on the picture they got from the license). I think this is what the judge wanted instead of just the facial recognition "evidence" (which eventually led to the charges being dropped) - something like, oh I don't know, the fingerprints from the abandoned vehicle? Basic investigative work, perhaps?
> Scientifically, retrieved samples are pristine and more massive, for a single body, than terrestrial samples.

They also provide ground truth data. We know that the imaged samples 100% came from an asteroid, and a particular asteroid, whose characteristics we know from observation and other measurements. That's in contrast to terrestrial samples, for which we have to make educated guesses as to the properties of the bodies they came from. The former will be useful to cross-check and callibrate the latter.
Not saying that I take constant advantage of that on twitter, but...

This will take approximately 1 minute to de-anonymize if the recruiter so chose.

Might as well just send them the note yourself.
