> This is particularly true when the people whom you criticize are manifestly doing quite well in general compared to you.

In these cases someone might be doing hundred things right in their life and the one mistake is what catches all the attention and provokes criticism. I feel like if only humans could view themselves with the same ruthless no-excuses mentality as they do view others they would immediately realize how much there is in their own life to fix and fixing all that would probably keep them too busy to unnecessarily point fingers at others.

(I'm not saying that criticism is always unnecessary, but that there's probably all kinds of low-hanging fruit in people's own lives that they're not just able to perceive. This blind spot of course applies to me too which I find frustrating at times).
What do you mean by 'in industry'. In what industry? I don't know about anything larger than 3", but the general point was more than it doesn't seem right that corrosion of metal pipes would be a huge barrier to desalination since there are options for non metal pipes. There is also PVC which can be huge in diameter and CPVC which is used in some situations that need pipe that is more inert, but it is very brittle.
I don't know why that space is there, it could be accidental or a deliberate stylistic quirk of the author, but it seems harmless (if not idiomatic).

> How is this valid JS? What does it do?

I'm curious if Python (or a similar whitespace-sensitive syntax) is your first/familiar programming language.

The extra whitespace here does nothing.

The semicolon in JS is an (optional) expression separator, similar to in Bash/Shell. It can occur at the end of a line or at the beginning of a line, or in between lines. Or in between two expressions on a single line. Any whitespace chars before or after it are irrelevant/ignored.
> a cpu backdoor is not akin to a crouton

Of course not, croutons are generally appreciated, while backdoors are only appreciated by ignorant people, hackers, spies, and dictators.

> your stupid example

That's harsh given that you don't even seem to have processed what the example was conveying:

> you ate it right up until the moment you realized it

So then let's try again: once you realize the turd is there will knowing it's Russian, Chinese, or from the US make a difference on whether to keep eating or not? On whether to complain or not? Because GP claiming "Backdoored by whom is an important real-world distinction" suggests you, the customer, keep eating and don't complain if you like the answer.

I find the analogy to be reasonably valid.
The problem is that unlike with proper overtime protection, it's just an implicit understanding that is in no way guaranteed.

Overtime laws generally allow taking the hours worked back as PTO. The only thing is that usually there are limits to avoid running everyone ragged with no end.

Instead of CNC or 3D printing, couldn't you just use something simple as Lego or Fischertechnik? Or other kits? (Maybe depends on how big it is supposed to be, and what it is supposed to do.)

But also, I thought that you can get some pretty cheap 3D printers nowadays?

Instead of batteries, couldn't you just use a cable? (Depends how freely the robot is supposed to move around.)

I have seen some robotic kits you can buy, varying widely in what they contain, and the target audience (ranging from kids to semi professionalists), and the price (starting at 100€ or so, up to 10k€ or so).

I checked their home page, and I can't quite seem to find the value proposition of Shen. It looks like it's a Lisp implementation? Why would I want to spend time learning/using this over JS/Go/Java/etc.?

I'm not trying to make any statements about the usability or anything, I just literally cannot find enough details about what Shen is beyond some books on Amazon or vague home page claims to make any judgements about this.
Very little in this post is true and highlights the sort of false image people paint of the US:

- Most people work multiple jobs to make ends meet: False

- Low income people don’t have health coverage: False

- The US doesn’t have any form of government safety net health coverage for its people: False. Medicaid covers low income population and Medicare covers the older population.

Not saying any of the above is perfect but these false pictures people paint of the US deserve to be called out.
I have a couple of objections to that:

- These companies aren't monolithic. If you object to say Google's monopoly on advertising, you can take a job on a team that has nothing to do with it, like image compression.

- If you disagree with the company's practices, you might have more impact by changing the company from within than trying to compete with it.

While using Visual Studio (not code) with git in wsl2 with Ubuntu 20.04, I saved three open files with changes, committed shutdown the laptop. On next start files showed as empty 0 bytes in Visual Studio and thought as far as I recall were non-zero size in wls2. No way to recover them from git. I stopped using git repos in wls2 for now.

They'd realistically have Medicaid in the US which doesn't have high out of pocket costs. Probably social security payments for disability and various other government programs. Some programs would even pay the mother (or a relative) to stay home and help their disabled spouse. Community college is fairly inexpensive in the US so there's that as well.
I dunt know about Shen, but I looked into doing a wasm implementation of common lisp, and wasm is far too static. You can't, e.g. compile a single function to wasm and then call it from your already existing wasm. On top of that, its stack implementation makes it hard to do GC and any nonlocal transfers if control that aren't anticipated by its C++ support.

A few things about the EU's (especially southern / eastern EU) job market:

- There is a job shortage at the moment. This is not as acute in tech but the situation in tech is not good either.

- Startups are chronically poor. There is little investment in startups and it's hard to secure it. If you are involved with a small startup it's likely it has existed for 5+ years and it has never had a round of more than €100k.

- Companies can't just compete with each other here the way they do in the US. There are a number of EU laws that limit job mobility and competition, which mostly affect tech / engineering / insert qualified trade. This is an issue for companies and workers.

- Salaries are low when compared to rent and property prices.

Feel free to avoid the EU vs US salary conversation. As a developer in the uglier side of the EU I know experienced developers in the not-so-well-off states of the US are doing way better than experienced developers in the not-so-well-off countries of the EU.
About Euclid’s Algorithm: I actually implemented several times at work, it is useful when you are dealing with periodic events, which is common in real time systems. The typical question is: a task has to do something every 20, 30 and 40ms, at which period should you schedule your task (minor cycle)? The answer is gcd(20,30,40)=10ms and it can be computed using the Euclid's Algorithm.

But in most languages, Euclid's Algorithm is actually better implemented with a loop, and it brings me to one thing I realized about recursion that isn't commonly taught.

At a low level, recursion is implemented with a stack, so if you have a stack, you don't actually need to call functions to implement a recursive algorithm, in fact, many recursive algorithms don't need a stack at all (tail recursion). A recursive function call just means "remember my position and all local variables" and a return means "go back to where I was".

One advantage of this "machine first" thinking that it can help with optimization. By thinking about the stack, you may realize that you don't need to remember all local variables, that the call is always made from the same place so you don't need to remember your position. You may even realize that a stack, which is the natural data structure of recursion is not actually the best, for example, an array might be better, which, by the way, is one of the basis of dynamic programming.

And if you get to functional programming later, understanding what the machine does behind the scenes can give you a better grasp of the idea.
You are right that I overstated this. You do have a window to try to find a new job. However, the new employer will need to be willing to sponsor a new H1B visa, and will need to get their part done within a fairly narrow timeframe.

I agree that this is not an impossible scenario. But I also have a strong feeling that it's not a particularly likely one either.
> You still have to pay for it.

You don't, actually. Medicaid is a de-facto single payer system (with the caveat that it's funded by both federal and state governments).
This is true.

A competent administration would have bought up enough of (or all of) the PPE inventory as soon as they understood what was coming. At that point, there would have been no need to lie, because there would have been nothing left for the public to hoard.

> That's a minor incovenience at worst.

What a bizarre claim. It's irrelevant if you don't need Postgres, a minor inconvenience if you can easily adopt a workaround, and a show stopper if you were relying on accessing a local Postgres instance.
The biggest observation I have of the US is that corruption is rampant at all levels, often performed through simplistic manipulation of the legal system by moneyed parties. Consumers and small businesses get screwed by companies to big to sue. Senators magically make 10s of millions while in office despite “blind” trusts. Regulators live in a revolving door with their industries. Hell even doctors get paid for over prescribing medication.

Anti corruption measures like these are exactly what the US needs.

This is completely true -- something that many outside of academics don't understand -- but I'm not sure it really makes the situation any better. In a lot of ways it just kicks the problems down the road.

By whatever metric you use, it's really about the checklist rather than substance. And the checklists are based on stereotypes, and get gamed.
This is certainly a strange thing to have in there, as we've had public discussions about performance before and I assume no one's accused those customers of violating the ToS.

This is inaccurate, ‘integrity’ appears to just be a generalized term for any sort of content policing or support, including recovering passwords and memorializing accounts of the deceased.

Teams have absolutely been identified by specific problem areas, so your reasoning doesn’t hold up. For example, “FNRP” stands for Fake, Not Real Person (which distinguishes from celebrity impersonation etc) per https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/may/21/revealed-facebo...
I haven't seen any therapeutic guidelines recommending this, nor research supporting it, but anecdotally and from personal experience, doing something expressive with the body like dancing, chanting, singing, or playing an acoustic instrument during difficult experiences can help.

This is, of course, something that's been done for millennia by traditional cultures in altered states of consciousness and during ritual, so there's plenty of precedent for it and it's far from a new idea.

I hope some research is done on this sort of intervention, and expect the results will be positive.
You don't have to work nearly that hard to cut off internet access to many countries. Satellites are relatively easy to destroy if you're willing to ignore the debris it creates.

Undersea cables are easy to cut. Land based lines are easy to cut. Unless the locations of these cables are well hidden (which I don't believe they generally are), you could easily severe all of a country's internet connections in a couple of days.
Is this file system corruption? The article isn’t 100% clear it ‘only’ loses some data writes, but it also doesn’t explicitly say files not being written are affected, directory structures are corrupted, etc.

So, to me, it looks like WSL2 not completely flushing writes to the underlying file system. Bad, but not as bad as file system corruption (which could lead to losing all data on the disk)
Whatever your politics, we should endeavor to stop giving oxygen to rhetoric that misstates easily verifiable facts

* Your comparison between Portugal's social security system and the US's includes only one source of support, but several are available. (Cost of housing is one.) Neglecting this easily-verifiable fact has the same misinformational outcome as lying.

* "Medicaid has extremely low out-of-pocket costs" is not a reply to "we didn't pay a fucking cent". Your (not-included) estimates of how much money a US resident definitely will have to pay is by definition never going to be as good as zero. It's almost like you're setting out to smooth over this also-easily-verifiable fact with "rhetoric".
This not only leads to the endianess issues, but also alignment/packing.

But yes, people often start that way and regret only when it is too late and the files are in the wild.

Linux support for touchscreen is measly, and it's a really nice feature of many Windows laptops. IMO Windows GUI has the best out-of-box features, OSX second and Linux third. Now, if you like working from the terminal, that order is reversed.
My team has to support both windows and Linux builds of our product. WSL1 was a godsend for this - I no longer had to ssh into a VM and could build both the Linux and windows versions from the same source, which was amazing. I hit one issue with wsl2 and then I reverted because I learned that this scenario (different builds from same source) would always be slower on wsl2.
What I like about OKRs is that it really focuses on providing ways to clearly specify your goals and measure whether you are achieving them. This is also its biggest weakness, since "Key Results" that cannot be expressed as continuous, clearly measurable values will suffer. This leads to cold-seeming Initiatives like the "Connect to the girlfriend for at least six hour-long sessions." from the blog post. Well meaning no doubt, but relationship quality just doesn't lend itself to quantisation like that.

That said, I'm actually a fan of OKRs for achieving personal goals as long as you can be honest to yourself about what your Objectives actually are. (ie, if you don't really value being fit but put it on the list because you feel it is compulsory then no framework is going to provide enough motivation) In corporate settings, the incentives are typically not aligned at all and that tends to break implementation very badly. But for personal settings where you are both goal-setter and implementer it can work quite well.
I recall a quote by an introspective and humble Nobel winner (I think it was one of the guys who discovered/verified the cosmic microwave background radiation) that was basically "They don't give Nobels for being the best scientist, they give it for the most important discoveries." He was basically saying he happened to be at the right place at the right time (working on a team that had access to the proper telescopes), and that he was no Einstein.

The fact that Mullis made a huge discovery and is also a third rate scientist and crackpot are not mutually exclusive.

This feels like a faux-woke way to justify workers being paid less. The subtext here is that European workers can't be paid more because of overhead of various public services, and I don't think that's true. If there were a few big European companies closely located that were hiring as much as SV tech hired, I think wages would go up. Not matching US salaries, but some.

I really don't know anything, but I guess Germany where I would expect that to happen. If some self driving car related company funded by idk, BMW or Siemens or someone tried to scale up really fast. The other day people were mocking the EUs program to encourage European semiconductor tech, but I think Neural Network accelerator chips are still a niche that new companies could develop in.
Total tangent, but Malcolm Gladwell has two really excellent podcast episodes about memory (Revisionist History, season 3, episodes 3 and 4: http://revisionisthistory.com/episodes/23-a-polite-word-for-...).

Worth a listen if you have some time to kill.

https://healthpayerintelligence.com/news/cancer-patients-pai...

> In a case study, a patient with lymphoma paid out-of-pocket healthcare costs from $6,446 in a large employer-sponsored health plan to $12,931 in a health plan on the individual health insurance market. These were all Affordable Care Act (ACA)-compliant plans.

Total out of pocket costs for cancer were $5.6 billion in 2018, with 1.8 million cases. That's about $3,100 out of pocket per diagnosis on average.

Over a career, you'll pay way more in additional taxes in Europe than whatever you'll save in out of pocket costs in the U.S. if you get cancer.
