meh I feel like SV companies are great to work at the last 10-15 years because they're making loads of money in a growing area.

Oil, Pharma, Banking have all had great times when employees there had lots of autonomy and made bank.

True with SV Engineers are the main type of employee so probably do better than at firms where engineers are helping other divisions make money.
I think you misunderstand the purpose of a summary of a person . It isn't P(think of this subject | think of this person), it's P(think of this person | think of this subject).

Likewise, in a summary of a subject, a person would show up if P(think of this subject | think of this person) shows up.

So, for instance, Nelson Mandela shows up in the intro to Apartheid and vice versa; Pi shows up in Fabrice Bellard, but Bellard doesn't show up in Pi; Poor Richard's Almanack links to Benjamin Franklin but Benjamin Franklin doesn't mention PRA in its summary.
The Windows folder chooser dialogue has this problem as well.
Judging from what I'm seeing personally, it would be hard to explain the sudden increase in the number of my contacts that installed Signal as regular churn. Though I acknowledge that the choice of my contacts is probably not representative of the whole population.
Fighting against "globalism" could have been something people like Bernie used before Trump too. Ironically anarchist and antifa groups have always tried to burn down cities where globalists meet, G7 etc. They might have different explanations but in the end it's fight for the capital.

Corbyn for instance, very much left wing, opposed EU because of all the globalist bankers and buerocrats in Brussels controlling the society, cheap labor bringing down wages.

If you're a bit older or have better knowledge, then trumps policies are far more similar to someone like Sanders if they really wanted to team up. (I'm not talking about his speech and the way of saying things)
I'm not sure what you mean by my sadness at google. Could you elaborate?

I too agree that social media as a common medium probably does not, in itself, confer "common carrier" status on it. Even if many have been bought up by Facebook, there is still room for competitors to arise that provide alternative. This is not like ATT&T before its breakup where it was literally the only option. Heck, nothing stops someone from rolling their own stack on a local PC or local "cloud" and running their own social media service there, with mobile friendly sites that don't need an Android or Apple apps no need to rely on 3rd party cloud infrastructure. Then they would only be relying on the common-carrier ISP infrastructure that couldn't ban them for content. They aren't entitled to use the private infrastructure services or content distribution networks of other private organizations.
> Your various programs like GIMP will always use the Gnome/GTK file picker because that's what they've been programmed to do. Or, if not based on GTK they will use whatever other file picker their toolkit provided.

Well, not really. Anymore.

Recently (give or take few years), toolkits and applications started to use desktop portal - mainly as a preparation for sandboxing (i.e. putting the app inside flatpak & co). The application, optionally inside sandbox, doesn't use the framework's common dialog - because that would not give it access to files outside sandbox - but talks to the desktop provided one via dbus.

That desktop provided one does not have to be implemented by the framework that the application uses. It is implemented by the DE that the user chooses.

> What does population have to do with self determination?

Because the entire chinese population ( mainland china and taiwan ) claim taiwan is part of china.

Taiwan is called ROC( the Republic of China ) for a reason.

Using your logic, if china invaded the US and then separated oregon from the US, it would okay for oregon to "secede" from the union despite the wishes of 330 million other americans.

You do realize that secession has been ruled unconstitutional in the US right? And far greater percentage tried to secede ( civil war ).

> Except they were allied with the US and deals were drawn up that should be honored.

We were never "allied" with taiwan. The chinese who fled to taiwan were our vassals. After they lost the chinese civil war, we foolishly and greedily, intervened to keep taiwan separate from china. Sooner or later, that's gonna cost us. All anybody has to do is look at a map.

> If there is TSMC spam it's probably because this is a tech forum and they is a lot of movement in the field in the last year, mostly related to the failings of Intel and the rise of TSMC.

There is this bullshit TSMC spam because there is a trade war with china and people are funding it. No different than any other propaganda campaign whether it involves suits or geopolitic issues.

http://paulgraham.com/submarine.html

All the propaganda campaigns you see news, media and online are pretty much funded by some billionaire elites somewhere.

If you really cared, then you should be demanding the "taiwanese" be forced out and return taiwan to the aborigines who live there. But then we'd have to return the land back to the natives, aborigines, etc ourselves so I doubt that'll happen any time soon.

I used better evaluation criteria when figuring out who to kick out of my World of Warcraft guild than this guy used on his employees. Anyone that defends OP's post clearly has never led a team of anything or been in charge of people.

Writing a program to "optimize" who to fire is bonkers and shows a clear lack of leadership strategy.

And it's a fair assumption. If they do, those platform won't have state-like power and leverage like Facebook or Twitter, and will be way easier to patrol. The real solution would be to break down facebook and regulate gigantic internet leviathans to avoid that they become more powerful than nation states. While we work on it, this might be the best solution we have to stop easy radicalization.
I don't see the point of closing Parler. It was a perfect platform to monitor those people and gather them in the same place. Now it will be more difficult.
-duino typically means that it's physically drop in compatible with Arduino devices, so you can (physically) connect it to anything you'd connect to an Arduino without needing to make any (physical) modifications.

Of course, you still have to make the FGPA do something. An advantage of an FPGA over an STM32 would be if you're willing to invest some time in hardware description languages (HDLs) like VHDL or Verilog to design your own system, or want to drop in novel cores (like RISC-V) that aren't physically available yet or are still in a state of flux. RISC-V isn't fully specified yet so a "soft" core version on an FPGA offers you the ability to upgrade your device without needing to actually purchase a new one, and remove and replace the old one.

In theory, an Arduino compatible FPGA-based device could be used to develop applications totally sans software (that is, all the logic is encoded in the HDL) as well, which can be advantageous in prototyping, and maybe in performance depending on the FPGA in question.

As a rule of thumb: if you ever ask "why not", and the alternative you're proposing is more complicated - that is normally why not. Lots of UI/UX bugs can simply be attributed to the programmer taking the most simple possible design.

In this case, the async logic is not advanced. In fact, I'm willing to bet that this is what happened: at first, the file-opening was synchronous in the GUI. People complained that opening certain files locked up the file picker, so a developer sticks the file-opening code in a background thread. This produces the above bug, without complicating the input design - in fact, preventing the bug requires making additional changes to the code in some way.
To sound like Linus Torvalds, "that's braindead stupid!"

I have never looked at the code in question, but it almost sounds like the developers went out of their way to create these ridiculous bugs, because the simplest solution definitely would not have something like that happen: The handler for Enter gets the current selection (which will definitely be the correct one) and opens it.

The actual opening can be slow, so that can be done asynchronously. But to interpret "Enter opens the current selection" as anything other than the current selection at the time the Enter key event was received is definitely in the realm of rookie mistake if not worse.

If getting the current selection of a UI control somehow needs to be done asynchronously, then something is seriously wrong.

As a long-time Win32 programmer, the manifestations of these bugs are definitely hard to conceive.
> Whether or not that's the correct decision, it's not an inconceivable design.

I'm having trouble with the part of the design where we recognize that a file is selected (such that pressing <enter> causes a file to open), see the <enter> keypress, and then fire an event saying "open any file, whichever one you feel like" as opposed to "open this file right here, the one we can see is selected".

If, as you maintain, the keystrokes are processed in order, then at the time <enter> is processed, we specifically take notice of which file is selected. (Because, as I said above, we only know that <enter> should open a file at all because we see that a file is selected.) We fire the file-opening event after that. This isn't a mistake we can make by accident; we'd have to be making it on purpose.

I can see where the assumption that the keystrokes are being reordered comes from; it's much less insane than what you're proposing.

As it should be.0-based indexing is at best another equally valid convention. It is like the other eternal debate about what number is ground floor.
A site that is exclusively radical left (to the point that JK Rowling is grouped in with Nazis) is not helpful and certainly not "cool."

EDIT: The downvotes only prove my point re the rabidity of left-wing groupthink right now, so...
I stumbled a few times while reading binary data from a file in a 1-based language while I was using a hex editor (0-based) to view the same file. I don't think it proves one way is better than the other, but I suspect it's the common stumbling block that keeps the argument going.
I think we are talking past each other. No one is saying that we shouldn't allow people to question why things are right and wrong, or that we shouldn't explain our reasoning. Let me repeat the original comment to which I responded:

> The problem is - who decides what should be fringe and ostracized? At different times in history, women's rights, abolition, etc were all heretical ideas that the majority would want to squish if they could.

Rephrased: "since there is no omniscient referee to determine which ideas are good and which are bad, we should treat all ideas as equal."

But of course, not all ideas are equal. You and I have acknowledged as much in this conversation. One of the points of society — indeed, the very thing that lets us progress — is figuring out which ones are good and which are bad. And in the case of racial equality, genocide, etc, we've put in the work and mostly agreed that these are bad things.

The reason I reach for the teaching example is that it basically forces that choice. We either design the lesson so they learn that racial equality is good, and why it's good… or we throw our hands up and say "who decides that segregation should be a fringe view?" and teach them Jim Crow propaganda and race science as well.

And of course, despite all that, there will always be Camp Auschwitz sweatshirt guy. But if he wants to eat in our restaurants, or socialize on our networks, or host websites on our servers, we should have no qualms telling him to take it off first.

I don't really blame the companies doing the bans. In fact, if I were in their position I'd probably do the same thing. The pressure to do something would probably outweigh my suspicions that the bans are ultimately counterproductive.

If I were to place blame on something, it'd have to be the increasing conflation of hosting content with approving or agreeing with said content. E.G. Facebook gets decried as a conservative echo chamber by left leaning people who point at right wing content they find offensive or extreme. And then it gets decried as a leftist echo chamber by right leaning people who see left wing content on the platform they find extreme and objectionable. In reality people should see that Facebook is a platform, and the content on Facebook is made up of individual people's views. It's a mirror of society. If we see something we don't like we should talk to the people we see in the mirror, not ask the mirror to hide them.

From my experience, the triangle communication is great within the engineering department. It can cause big problems if persons from outside engineering wander in and communicate with an engineer. Typically, this is a problem when the engineer happens to want to be helpful and winds up spending time on a matter unrelated to the task they have committed to delivering. We've seen hours, days and even weeks of time consumed by such side-tracking.

We've had to smack it down pretty hard in a couple of cases, and pretty strictly enforce the triangle when communicating with non-engineering departments.

Apparently you can [0]. However, it seems (in my first reading) to be something I'd avoid because it sounds like the "natural" way to code in Julia is to assume 1-based and you're likely to run into issues with libraries if you try and do anything else.

"On top of standard-grade performance anxiety, the "big face" image that Zoom uses by default in its "speaker view" can trigger a "fight-or-flight" surge of adrenaline, writes Jeremy Bailenson, founding director of Stanford's Human Computer Interaction Lab."

From the hyperlink in the article. This for me is the kicker. From the start to end of a zoom call I feel like I'm on a stage. When I am in an in-person meeting I feel like I am "hanging out". One drains me of my mental reserves, the other fills it up. Zoom just feels draining. They noted the fact you see yourself and there is real time self critique to the hissy sound and pixelation. After a year of it .. I'm close to done.
I think there are actually two issues here: the incidence of violence and use of a "Content Killswitch". By a content killswitch, I mean that concerted action by 3 companies to basicaly scrub the entire internet of source materia in 24-48 hours and leave only articles giving their spin on the events.

I remember the same thing happened when that stupid "Plandemic" movie came out earlier last year. Even while I had no sympathy at all for the point of view in the movie, I at least wanted to view it to make up my own mind and discuss its flaws with the family members who had recommended it to me. But it was almost impossible to find, and that was only within a day or so of it going viral.

While I have no sympathy for the viewpoint censored in both cases, the ability to kill content this broadly and quickly is an extremely powerful tool. All you have to do is imagine if your particular political boogeyman with their finger on that button.
The ability to set the destination folder to a folder you have open in a file manager window without copy-pasting the path is convenient.

Elusive Green Consumer – Do people buy eco-friendly stuff?
I'm trying to understand the 'green' industry and whether there is potential for a true sustainable business there. Usually, what people say is different from what they do.For instance, this HBR article states that people who identify with the values of sustainability still usually end up buying stuff that is cheap and easy and do not consider environmental costs in that space.
And the geography too. If a european company outsources its development to India, even if they hire the top of the basket there, and they often can’t, the devs are so remote from the business that I hardly see how it could emulate the sort of dynamism you have in the SV.
> I'm a Sanders supporter and as Left as it gets

I'm a Sanders supporter, and there's quite bit (obviously, alienated from the duopoly fostered by the structure of US government and elections) to the left of the left-most Sanders supporter.

> but there is serious denial about the past 6 months of coordinated violence in major city cores from militant groups that claimed to speak for me.

Since you don't claim to be from either the far-right groups that the many identified violent provocateurs represented, nor from the movement that the protestors represented (which wasn't either “the Left” in general, or Sanders supporters in particular—in fact, being in the overlap of the two groups, I'm very much aware that it's a group that has had a very conflicted relationship with Sanders and even moreso his largely-White and not particularly race conscious base of support), I’m not sure what your basis is for claiming that the supposed coordinated violence, no matter who you attribute it to (there has been considerable disagreement on that) was from people who claim to represent you.
But the point is where was most of the planning for violence done?

I realize you're not being literal about all the comments centered around violence on Parler. Or maybe you are?

Is anybody who espouses this view willing to define how we determine who the intolerant are (to then not tolerate them)? Where is the line?

Especially if you're a small company, engineering time (really any employee time) is _insanely valuable_.

This is true, but it is balanced by the fact that uncertainty can be insanely expensive. And diving into complicated cloud infrastructure with a small business, if you're not already an expert on it, is a very uncertain endeavour in terms of whether you'll get everything set up right (and not find out otherwise at 3am when it turns out your redundancy wasn't, for example) and what everything will cost. By the time you have either become an expert yourself or hired someone who already is, your costs have already increased significantly too, for exactly the reason you've just stated yourself.

Counter-anti-desintermediation is against websites (www-server-client protocols) so that is already not what is being advocated.

Secure Scuttlebutt is a decentralized _protocol_ that is counter-anti-desintermediated and used for social purposes since it cannot be run as a server-client. Distributing your blog/personal site via IPFS protocol would also be a measure of counter-anti-desintermediation since there is no "server" hosting the site.
