I think the author of the article brings up a good point regarding this, though. If you're a non-technical user, you're not going to read it at all. You might update, you might not, but you're not going to look through the list of changes.

If you're a technical user, you know it's unlikely that update == "more crashes and slower load times" so saying the opposite isn't helpful, and a list of things might be helpful.

So as a user of an app you probably fall into one of 3(ish) categories:

1. You read the changelog and something is relevant to you.

2. You read the changelog and nothing is relevant to you.

3. You don't know what the changelog is.

Listing the bugs that are fixed helps some of these groups. "Bugfixes and performance improvements" is a given, and helps no one.
Facebook could use its wealth and influence to lobby for government regulation that would rein in bad behaviour while ensuring a level playing field so less-ethical competitors would be penalized.
I guess it would be for maintenance. Taking of a casing everytime something breaks or required adjustment can become quite a nuisance.
I agree, this is a really tough nut to crack without completely overhauling the hiring system and making some hard decisions. USAJobs was a really good-faith effort, but it's not it.
I think you're on the right track, but it's not just because it's an "advertising-supported" business model. It's the fundamental laws that govern our society: profit. Replace Zuckerberg, Bezos, et al. with anyone else, and the new CEOs' decisions will be bound by the same constraints.
The web version does work until you need to sign into more than 2 accounts per day (1 in regular, 1 in private). If you need more than 2 accounts, it does not work anymore.

Edit: it does work, but it will sign you out from all M365 services which requires a lot of logins for nothing.
I think what the parent post is suggesting is almost the opposite maybe? That those few people who should understand the significance are dismissing it.
> People say listen to your customers

I've found that the most vocal customers/clients are nearly always a minority and are the ones that don't pay as well.

So if you are going to listen to your customers, make sure you're listening to all of them, not just the ones screeching in your ear!
Having a changelog does not make you more open to lawsuits.

>It seems very hard to compare the two figures. I guess the interesting way to compare them would be what's the disposable income you have to spend normalised against purchasing power. So gross salary, less taxes (payroll and any others if applicable), pension contributions, student loan repayments, medical insurance contributions (and other out-of-pocket expenses relating to that you may have to pay in a typical year), and then baseline cost-of-living (rent/mortgage payments), but there are so many variables there it seems very hard to be directly comparable.

At $45,284 the US has the highest household net disposable income per capita in the OECD (http://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/countries/united-states/), where "[disposable income](http://stats.oecd.org/glossary/detail.asp?ID=46)" is adjusted for purchasing power and accounts for healthcare and government benefits. By contrast Canada is $30,854 (http://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/countries/canada/), below the OECD average of $33,604.
Let’s stop condoning covering up incompetence.

If you fuck up, admit to it, fix it and learn from it.

If you fuck up bad enough that someone had a good case against you then you should make them whole and use the opportunity as a wake-up call to make sure this never happens.
I'd LOVE it if we could get a Why's Poignant Guide To Rust... I find that kind of weird humor helps my mind remember things.

I am always a bit surprised that Facebook ended up as reliant on advertising revenue as they are. I feel like they missed opportunities to replace Craigslist as the de facto online classifieds and to offer a payment system like Apple Pay. Perhaps these are only obvious in hindsight.

I feel that most of their issues stem from their complete revenue reliance on advertising. It forces them to make decisions about their core product that reduces utility, but makes it superficially a more sticky user experience.
This article is very very basic beginner Rust. You'll be disappointed if you expect to encounter Rust in real world like this article.
Does anyone know where to find absolute numbers on age distributions of people currently hospitalized with C19? We’ve seen enough misunderstandings of data in the news that I prefer to see data myself.

That's why we spent a bunch of money creating the ACA. If I was a single person here in Maryland making $24,000 per year, I could get a low-deductible health plan for $115/month (and a high-deductible one for a fraction of that).

That's 5.75% of gross income, which is lower than the health-insurance tax a lower middle class person would pay in most European countries.
Scientists usually use active placebos for psilocybin therapy, so the difference isn't necessarily going to be obvious.
No difference, that grammatical change from plurar to singural wasn't part of my point. You can also read it as:

"A country's segments (e.g. states) could have borders between them, but that doesn't mean that each has borders with each other."

Another commenter explained what I meant well, but here's my explanation:

The US might have a border with Canada, but doesn't mean that Colorado also has a border with Canada.

Similarly, Alaska and Hawaii might be part of the US, and thus their borders are the US borders too, but that doesn't mean e.g. Hawaii borders Nebraska.

Now borders might be on land or on water, but they're still borders. As long as another entity is not in between (e.g. Canada, as is the case between e.g. US and Alaska, or the Ocean between the US and Hawaii).

Author here :) I'd echo this. It's really crucial that you limit your goal for the day to something that you have nearly 100 percent confidence about. So even if you think "I can do this whole thing today!", you should just pick off the first piece of it that's definitely attainable to use as your goal.

In addition, on the few occasions where I didn't manage to hit my goal by the end of the day (maybe three times in the last month), I'd take the time to figure out why that was and think of how I could have reframed the goal in a way that would have made it achievable. Usually when I missed a goal it was because it was either not specific enough or it was dependent on something else. For example, I might have had "Push XYZ patch", when it should have been "Make bugfixes to XYZ patch and push if able", since there's always the possibility that the latest fixes introduce an unexpected problem or that the reviewer won't get to the code review that day.
Think of it like this - please, go ahead and use graphs and state machines. If you would like to model the operation of those graphs or state machines, one way to do it is to model them using Petri nets. And if you use Petri net modelling, you get some nice properties that have mathematical proofs behind how it works. And they might be handy for working out logical problems with your graph or state machine due to how they are constructed- which you discover based on the language Petri nets give you for talking about the process.

Like, set logic in relational modeling.. if you abide by that technique, set logic gives you certain guarantees about operational characteristics that have mathematically proven grounding. It gives you primitives for talking about set operations, like union, difference, intersection, join, etc.

Petri nets are a modelling technique. Activity diagrams (UML) are another way of expressing similar processes, but they don't necessarily have the mathematical grounding inherent in the way you model Petri nets.

Perhaps yet another way of saying it is that Petri nets are closer to a visual modelling language of execution that shows more of the logic of the concerned process or system.

> In general, if you can't afford a lawyer to set up paperwork, you won't have enough to trigger the tax, though. The outrage about the inheritance tax is generally misplaced.

The outrage is that it's a trap for the unwary. Billionaires don't pay it but family businesses who didn't realize they had assets in excess of the threshold do, or people who die young before doing the preparation.

If you can avoid it just by hiring an accountant then it shouldn't exist.
Amusingly, Indian food isn’t well suited for restaurant-style eating. The meal prep takes too long forcing restaurants to cut corners. It only works well with a limited, set menu.
The claim is not that you have to be dumb to want a suboptimal burger over optimal Chinese food. It's that it doesn't make sense to do so and then blame the restaurant for the burger not being as fresh as it would be if you got it in-person.

Also note that I'm not claiming that this is simply due to people being dumb. It's just my experience that, in the absence of an explanation for why someone does something "obviously" dumb, it makes more sense to accept that they're dumb than it does to be "perplexed". There's a cultural barrier against communicating openly about differences in intelligence, and it can lead to blindspots if you rely on it too much tk explain people's behavior. But it's my observation that the pendulum has swung so far to one side that many people don't even like to consider that others may be reasoning poorly.

To pick only one example from the list, C++ as written in 1996 was massively different from how most people (except for the Trogoglyte C++ movement or whatever they call themselves this week) write it nowadays. At the time, it was risky to write code relying on the STL because support for it (especially the template mechanisms required to support it) was quite uneven across compilers. Truly avant garde programmers were just starting to incorporate design patterns (and, of course, overdoing it).

It's hard to overstate how much STL based containers changed C++ code. And C++11 caused quite a bit more change.

strong disagree that a Facebook staffed with different folks would behave the same. Zuckerberg has a majority of the votes due to his super voting shares. Leadership matters, individual actions matter. Twitter, for all its faults, has a leader who is leading the company down a different path than the pure money chasing and dominance, and i can imagine a differently lead Twitter being making more money and being worse for society. Zuckerberg is motivated by dominance, nothing else, and he has the ability to change course. Their actions are constrained along a set of possible outcomes but the leaders of both companies are choosing where in that set they want to land.
JIRA IS SLOW.

> As a corporation, Facebook truly seems to be trying to improve its behavior for the benefit of society at large

Sorry, that's a hard disagree from me and I think you couldn't be further off the mark.

Facebook's entire raison d'etre from day 1 is to take as much data from as many sources as possible, then use the most powerful computers, programmed by the brightest minds, to use that data to maximise their profit with no regard for what damage that may do to you or society at large - look at what Jonathan Haidt talks about wrt to mental health problems and social media.

They use the dirtiest psychological tactics to ensure that you never put down your phone and to ensure that you only see what they deem to have maximum engagement (whatever the f that means) and only put their hands up to any nefarious shit when a spotlight is on them for it.

I can understand Facebook wanting to clean up their image from a PR perspective but it's nothing to do with altruism or wanting to serve the public better... if they can make more money from looking like a decent bunch, they'll do it.

One monitor missing from his list is the Benq PD3220U that hits all of his main criteria although it is fixed at 60Hz so doesn't match all his secondary ones (and isn't cheap).

I have similar requirements to the OP and got this monitor back in March just before everyone started working remotely. I've had no problems with it, and have been pleased with the choice. The separate control unit which can be configured to use the hardware buttons for KVM switching is a small thing but particularly nice to have.

The KVM takes a second or two to switch, and it'd be nice if it would do it (near) instantly. I'm not sure if its firmware is updatable - it's plugged into a Linux machine where I can't run their software or a locked down Windows machine where I'm not allowed to run their software. There's nothing on their website to suggest there are updates I'm missing out on though.
Cunning. He took panoramas with thermal camera and simultaneous black and white photos and coloured the b&w photos with the data from the thermal camera. Interesting examples of insulation. I wonder how the result compares to the standard Flir auto blended images. Msx?
I ended up getting a KVM in the middle - it’s more cables but I have a 144Hz gsync screen and I can easily swap kB+m+screen with a dedicated, hardware button
When the law defines 32 but numbers (IP addresses) as PII, it’s not terribly surprising to me that “real compliance” is not eagerly adopted.

Medicaid is not "free" there are requirements, but assuming you qualify, there are hidden costs. Like for example.

> The DRA created a five-year "look-back period." That means that any transfers without fair market value (gifts of any kind) made by the Medicaid applicant during the preceding five years are penalizable.
The penalty is determined by dividing the average monthly cost of nursing home care in the area or State into the amount of assets gifted. Therefore, if a person gifted $60,000 and the average monthly cost of a nursing home was $6,000, one would divide $6000 into $60,000 and come up with 10. 10 represents the number of months the applicant would not be eligible for medicaid.

Maybe it's me as Italian that am a simpleton, but for me that's a cost.

If someone parents here get treated in a hospital, they are treated freely.

If after 4 years they want to gift their children with a few thousand euros to pay, for example, for their marriage, they don't have to worry about it.

Worrying has a cost.

The incentive of the Medicaid system is to lie about the real entity of the assets one possess.
That's such a funny story, and so predicate. I would love the source to this if it comes to anyones mind!
Why wouldn't beneficial ownership of a company be entirely public data?
Was initially sceptical to this but after skimming think this is actually a very good introduction. I do like the brevity of it compared to the walls of text in the official rust one. Although this does give an illusion that Rust is very simple/easy to learn but any beginner will find that anything more than "Hello World" or "2 + 4" is 10x more difficult than writing in a interpreted language. Not because Rust syntax is difficult but the constraints it introduce require more thought of the design of the program.

The article also skims over the single ownership model which is a big difference with Rust. And it does miss about creating macros, cells, threading & mutexes, heap allocated types, unsafe code, Rc, std::mem, and the whole crates and cargo ecosystem. Which is why I think this should have been titled "half-hour introduction to Rust syntax". Hopefully this does bring more people on the Rust train. I think 2021 will be a good year for Rust :)
> Richer people tend to have more liberal views etc etc.

Jesuschrist!, this have not been true at any point or place in history. People become more conservative when they become richer, which it makes sense, if you are wealthy and have lots of resources it suits you that the status quo remains.

The RICH liberal elite is "progressive" as long as their income is not touched.

That's the problem.

> Most Europeans don't know anything about the US other than Michael Moore

Most Americans assume they know what European know, based on stereotypes 100 years old.

And have never been here.

But I've lived in the US, for example.
This law requires ownership to be reported to FinCEN, a government agency. So it's natural to ask if a FOIA to FinCEN could get this information. It probably won't work though.
As someone who spent the first half of their life in poverty, this is not an accurate characterization of that situation in the US. Becoming a software engineer in the US is available to just about anyone, basically the cost of a cheap computer that sometimes literally rounds to "free" and some time. That is how I became a software engineer while working long hours at low-skill jobs. I eventually worked at FAANG and earned (much more than) $250k. This isn't a unique story; one of the under-rated aspects of living in the US is that this is realistically possible and many people do it. Low salaries for engineers don't help anyone except the company owners.

Poor people generally don't pay for healthcare in the US for the most part. I have multiple family members that received (literally) state-of-the-art cancer treatment at top hospitals at no cost to themselves. The hospitals don't even try to collect anything. That's pretty normal in the US. Having to pay expensive medical bills is something that happens to the middle class, not the poor.
I know someone that immigrated to EU from middle east, after ~1 year developed a severe life threatening stomach/liver illness(can not recall the details), went through multiple operations, after 1.5-2 years away from work but getting most of his salary due to welfare got better and got back to work. He is very young and I suspect you could have anything close to this in US. Let alone immigrants, even citizens can not afford to do this.

I have never lived in the US and this all from online media, reading and talking to various ex/current US citizens/residents colleagues, so I might be wrong still.
I don't like dual monitors setup, it creates more annoyance with the underpredicalty of which window is going to go where than anything to me.

If you have the money, the Apple XDR 6k is super nice to code on.
I'd imagine so; the biggest reason this isn't interesting is that I simply don't keep that much on my local filesystem, at least for personal use. I have a repos directory and a scripts directory, and then I pretty much just use the Debian defaults. Perhaps my Google Drive structure would be more interesting, but even there the structure is pretty straightforward, with folders like Finances and Career.

For work it's slightly more complex, but also more driven by the environment tools that work provides (eg a datasets folder that gets mounted into the Docker images I use to train models).
It sounds a bit less clear-cut than that. It seems that, through inheritance, 138 relatives each owned a tiny share of 2.35 acres of land, with one of the relatives, Carlos Andrade, owning a larger share and having been the only one living on the land. Andrade sued his relatives to force them to sell and compensate them for their shares. Zuckerberg sided with Andrade. I'm not sure of the details, but it sounds like he doesn't have the island to himself, since Andrade is living there, and it sounds like the other relatives weren't using the land.
He's got somewhat of a point though, in the first extract, what's capitalised is "SCREAM", "STUMBLES UPON", "GATHER", "CORPSE", "BROKEN", "FROZEN", "STARE", "WHISPER"

These certainly are "certain keywords" but so are many collections of words. That doesn't help one understand what should or should not be on the list.

As outsiders we don't really have to know the rules, but are they key words, not just "random words"? Is it something to do with how they're either actions that a character takes, a thing that they see, a reaction, etc. i.e. a rough guide to where to point the camera?
How bad has your performance to be until you explicitly prohibit people using your service talking about the performance issue?

Only speaking for the US, but

Federal grant funding needs to be increased.

Indirect funds need to be eliminated.

The funding structures need to be reorganized. Some ideas I think have merit are basing grant award on a lottery system, or funding individual researchers based on previous research for a limited nonrenewable period of time.

Grant review panels need to be mixed up dramatically. Currently they consist largely of people who have received grants in the past. One of the biggest predictors of proposal rating is being a co-author of people on the grant panel. I think grant panels need to be based on some lottery system too, like everyone with an ORCID ID gets thrown into a pool somehow, like jury duty.

Universities need to be funded in a way that's separated from grant receipts.
Reddit isn't perfect, but it is run totally differently from Facebook, including: offering paid subscriptions, having an open API, and not trying to justify widespread surveillance as an ad-targeting tool.

In the real world, this is akin to "just don't write bugs".
Transparency International strikes me as one of those branding strategies where actually the opposite of the name is the case (cf. OpenAI).

All these issues are too complicated for >99% of the population to actually understand well enough to say if it's "good" or "bad" _in the final analysis_.

Read the Wikipedia on the organization and tell me if these seem like transparent people.

I know: let's put computer scientists with opinions in charge of large-scale biomedical projects. Just for 10 years. Then evaluate the results.

I can make a simple prediction: the results would be far worse than what we have now, it would cost more, and the project leaders would write "An Update on COVID" where they explained why the project was killed 6 months before for not having enough impact.
