I met a traveller from an antique land who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, and wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, tell that its sculptor well those passions read which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, the hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
and on the pedestal these words appear:

This is still one line of code.

It is a valid python program . This is because python will join strings that are adjacent strings (eg. "foo " "bar" is evaulated just like "foo bar") and while multiline strings are commonly used as comments they are evaluated as a string-literal rather than a comment.
Oof! I'll stick to development I guess grammar isn't my strong suit haha!
> Why should it go into the shareholder's pockets instead of the people who actually do the work and create the value?

Proponents of the shareholder value model would argue that the point of a business is to maximize that value, and that it's better to return that value to shareholders instead of giving it to employees.

In the case of the button pressing employee, if they can find someone that would press the same button for minimum wage instead of billions per year, with functionally equivalent output, then from that perspective it would make sense to replace that expensive employee with a cheaper one, as that would maximize shareholder value.

In practice, things aren't as simple, since value maximization can have all kinds of perverse effects (eg. in that model, dumping sewage into a lake is a great idea if the fine is smaller than the resulting shareholder value) and shareholder value is kind of detached nowadays with profitless companies and many companies not electing to pay dividends.

> And companies/management have a fiduciary duty to give them as little as possible.

This is a popular myth but if you do any research you’ll learn it’s not true. There’s no such requirement because there’s no way to reliably predict the future impact of decisions: for example, does paying “too much” for employees lower turnover and avoid them starting competitors? Skimping on maintenance, outsourcing jobs, or taking on debt will definitely “maximize” shareholder value for a little while, until the bill comes due.

Think for a minute about how you’d argue any of those points in court and you’ll understand why the real laws have significant deference to executives’ judgement. Neither side would have any trouble finding people to say their decision was best, and even after the fact there are inevitably many factors which people can point to when explaining whatever happened.
This depends on the company, size, whether it's structured to give employees some sort of proportional, equitable ownership stake, etc.. There are scenarios where founders/owners put in 100% of the equity at the start and/or ongoing, and it may not make sense for workers who conduct operations to take on ownership stakes, especially if those workers are all part-time for example.

Yeah! The bitrate shouldn't exceed 8k though and remember the more bitrate you use the more bandwidth the server will use which can mean incurring costs with some providers.
I have one here: https://github.com/nickjj/docker-flask-example/blob/ca1d4849...

The basic idea is you create a user in your Dockerfile, switch to that user with the USER instruction and now future instructions in your Dockerfile will be run as that user.

Also when COPY'ing you'll want to add --chown myuser:myuser too.

The above Dockerfile shows examples of all of that.

I'm not a fan of customizing the UID / GID because then in development with volumes you can get into trouble. Technically you could set UID + GID as build arguments but in practice I never ran into a scenario where this was needed because 99% of the time on a dev box your uid:gid will be 1000:1000 and in production chances are you are in control of provisioning your VPS so your deploy user will be 1000:1000 too. Also you probably won't be using volumes, but if you did they will work out of the box with the above example.
To many drawbacks. This is theoretical. A malware author will NEVER use this.
Apple Veterans’ Lidar Startup Adds $200M to SPAC Deal

The team i worked with hosted simple solutions on VMs at first. But after a few years, the client requirements and features grew until our biggest problem became maintenance and upgrades.

The sysop costs became higher than our earnings, so we weighted our options of re-building or partner with a larger API-first solution.

Eventually we choose to partner up and in the end, we cut costs to a fraction, while still keeping the customer base and increasing performance.

Which is another point I see constantly, founders desperately want to keep control by not outsourcing when it _should_ be, and by doing that, the costs continue to increase and the already over-worked team can no longer push features, competition gain even more ground, margins fall even more and eventually layoffs and inevitable shut-down.

Show HN: ETL procedure defined visually in a Sborex workflow (poc)
The argument against is that HTML qua HTML is not a programming language, and that it is reasonable in English to say that "0 lines of code" implies the use of something that could have code in it, not something that degenerately contains no code because it is incapable of having any code at all. A text file with "Hello World" wouldn't be a solution either, nor the minimal CSV document with "Hello World", nor a PNG showing "Hello World", etc. These may also have "zero lines of code" in that strict, pedantic sense, but that makes them uninteresting.

The argument for including it even so is that if you think of the underlying challenge as "fooling sloc" and that the original challenge phrased it in terms of "code" simply because sloc mostly deals with code, but as it happens, it also tries to count HTML even though it isn't (necessarily) code, then it's reasonable to include.

I have to qualify HTML qua HTML because once you include Javascript, it goes from trivially not code to trivially being code, or at least capable of carrying code.

But it is important not to blur the lines between a document format and code. There are real and important differences. HTML qua HTML is not a programming language.

Edit: Oh, the solution to the other debate going on is that programming languages ALWAYS execute in the context of a virtual machine of some sort, or in the case of assembly, a real machine (at least in potential). The distinguishing characteristics of a programming language is something along the lines of being at least one of "Turing complete" and "able to read input, change behavior based on it, and write output", although I'm not getting too far down the weeds on that one on purpose. You can't use "whether or not they need a specialized execution environment to function" as a distinction for whether or not something is a programming language, because they all do.

Journalists are arrested in China on legal grounds as well. Such laws are arguable/unjust from a typically western perspective, but are formally legal nonetheless.

The question is therefore not legality in itself, but whether the (US) laws themselves are sensible and/or egalitarian. It's implied by the OP that they aren't (and I personally agree).

I'd say it's more like tests grow naturally out of repl interactions.

Test-driven development as a discipline emerged from the Smalltalk community, and I don't think that's an accident. I think it's a formalization of the way that Smalltalk and Lisp programmers naturally tended to work.

I generally start on something by making a naive model of what I'm trying to accomplish and interrogating it. In successive iterations, I modify the model and the interrogations in the direction of what I need it to be, discovering details along the way.

I'd say that a majority of my actual activity is testing. That's one reason I prefer to interact with a repl from a file: because I want a record of my interactions. I want to be able to do them again and again.

The difference between that record and formal tests is a simple matter of copying the trail of my interactions into a test framework, and that, too, is how I normally work: make model; test it with interactions; keep the interactions around for later.

As I make progress, the models turn into data structures, and the interactions turn into functions and tests.

Tech compensation is biased toward the long-term. Fine if you have a long term
Computer science/software development is relatively open to people without degrees, especially if they have a public presence. And, as you say, for software in particular, there isn't much special equipment required (EE can get harder).

The thing with disciplines like math and physics is that even if you master a BS curriculum in a few years, what now? It's probably hard enough to get a directly-related job with just a top-notch undergrad degree. And as you suggest, self-studying law might get you a job as a paralegal.
And not doing this puts billions of people at extreme risk. I have no problem with accepting refugees from China. I have serious problems with continued relations with a country that is currently committing genocide.

>Part of the reason for public employee unions is to protect the members specifically from political interference. The alternative is not necessarily "merit" based compensation but rather political favoritism and retribution.

And yet all forms of public sector employment, regardless of union status, are treated as staffing agencies who's hiring can be manipulated by those who traditionally hold the power of political interference. The best way to step up your career as a teacher, cop or other bureaucrat is to know a guy who knows a guy who's owed a favor by a politician who can write a recommendation on your behalf to an open position that you want to step up to. This is how people move from line level positions to administrative positions. (And before anyone says "but the police", they are somewhat insulated because they have strict traditions in their industry that have sway over career advancement.)

If the purpose of unions is to insulate the labor pool from political meddling then they have done an incredibly poor job at it.

I'm much more inclined to believe that the purpose of unions is to extract maximum concessions from the employer(s) for the benefit of the people they control while ignoring any externalities. In settings where labor is interchangeable and employed privately the benefits are clear and the downsides are very limited. But when you start talking about the police and teachers unions circling the wagons to protect people who behave badly while simultaneously attempting to extract maximum money from society it becomes much less clear whether the unions in question are an overall good thing. It's one thing for the union to try and extract more concessions from a corporation that would otherwise pocket the money and supposedly has competition to keep them from just passing on the cost without pressure to reduce margins. It's a whole different ethical ballgame when society will be footing the bill and there is no competition to keep downward pressure on costs.
I would imagine if embedded devices are being assembled and configured with filesize concerns, then exFAT would be the natural implementation they would opt for.
Or do you mean updating/transitioning legacy embedded?

I would like to test out if an input embed system is exFAT compat. And what might be required to update.
Probably not. The parent comment was "prove it". My point was, if you're willing to drink it then its likely you don't think its that toxic. Its a test of sorts. But people happily drink all sorts of toxins. My answer still works for low values of idiocy.

People are usually more protective of children than themselves, so perhaps a better question for them is: would you let your children or grandchildren drink it knowing what it can do? A good question for various politicians and officials around Flint, Michigan perhaps.

Referencing the US war crimes that Assange helped expose is important though. I'm not denying Assange committed crimes by leaking or helping to leak secret documents, but it was the moral thing to do to expose war crimes that would otherwise be (and which are being) covered up.

In this case, the UK should not only consider the extradition request itself, but how they stand with regards to the US and their war crimes. And when it comes to war crimes, for the UK to be silent is to be complicit.

I customized the hell out of my terminal and text editor setup... and two decades later I still use it? I certainly occasionally spend time tweaking it, but I go years without changing a single thing. The time spent vs. reward from being able to spend decades--and I am nowhere near done: I expect to be programming for another couple decades--using exactly the best setup I could imagine using is a super power, not a curse. I honestly just don't understand the mindset of just deciding "engh, I don't care anymore".
Used to work with stepper motors and basic. Legacy code.

Required very precise timing. Something Basic didn’t have.

So we used for loops.

Need a 2ms loop. 5,000 iterations. Etc.

Worked fine for years, until we couldn’t order the same cpus. Then machine ran way to fast.

So we set it up so that at boot time, it would calibrate how many loops equaled various milliseconds. Problem solved.

Was a really weird early job.

The way I do it with Clojure, you never really write any code in REPL prompt directly. You write it in your source code file, then send a piece of code to the REPL to update the “in-memory” state of your running program.

So any modifications you make stay in your files, just like you would normally do with any other language. But you write your program while it’s running, and you grow/change it piece-by-piece, until it’s done (by that time, your source code is exactly your finished program).

If you want to re-start your REPL session, you just run your current file in the REPL as a whole, and maybe run some “Rich comments” (from the same file) to set up a limited test environment (to isolate the piece of program you’re working on).

This way, you make use of syntax highlighting and all the IDE features.

Edit:
I’ve re-read your example with breakloop — I don’t really have experience with this style of REPLing. I agree that it raises a lot of questions, but thankfully functional nature of Clojure discourages this kind of programming.

It's not. Both sides want money. Currently, a small minority of authoritarians (management is authoritarian by nature - and that's okay) get to decide how much of the company profit is shared with employees. Now, employees get to decide alongside them. This reduces the power differential between the groups. Now they can decide what fair is on a more level playing field.

This is simply about improving the power differential between management and labor. If that means more money, so be it. It may well not. It might be more about working conditions or projects.

I guess my question to you is why do you demand democracy in government, but accept authoritarianism at work no questions asked?
Unionizing doesn’t make sense is a great sentence for an HR person to speak. In truth, it’s about as real as ‘HR doesn’t make sense’. Unions are supposed to be a counterweight for HR in that they should care about employees in the same way HR cares about the company.
