> And that's a good thing for the article author too, because it gives them the chance to see if they're a fit for the job and could learn the required skills even if they don't have them now.

I think you're right on here, but I also think the benefits diminish the further a candidate goes in the process only to get turned down with an explanation that was known at the beginning. How many interviews does it take to come to that realization?

> It's not like they want to waste a bunch of time interviewing you for a job you're ultimately not going to be in any more than you want to waste time on it.

It seems like this should be true, and I hope it is, but I have worked for companies that seem to interview just for the sake of feeling or appearing to move forward in filling a position. Maybe the recruiter or hiring manager is incentivized in that way? Some action, even if it's in the wrong direction, is perceived as better than no action at all.
Apple has worked with mainland China and Taiwan governments without much difficulty, and they seem to have no problem operating there.

TSMC isn’t the only supplier capable of producing better chips than Intel, Samsung is also another available option if TSMC were to have issues.

To be quite honest, I’m not sure Intel has anything of value to offer Apple. If TSMC fails to deliver they’d sooner start their own fabrication business than go back to Intel.

Is it even unlikely that Apple one day moves the entire company’s main headquarters to China? If you think about it, it’s very likely that this will one day make a lot of business sense.

In a way this article is floating protectionism to patch the plot holes in the story of American Exceptionalism. Perhaps it can be argued that the US Government’s neoliberal approach did this to itself.

In the neoliberal world, anything but the highest level of efficiency is determined to be the loser. Perhaps that could be why the US continually fails to protect whatever special sauce it might have through outsourcing and subcontracting.
As a Mac user, worth noting that this project tries to make it not just look like a Mac but feel like a Mac too. Kudos for this reason!
Steve Yegge has a thing he calls the "Interview Anti-Loop" or "anti-panel".

Basically, for every person that works at some company (say, Google), there is a least one set of employees (the anti-panel) that would reject that person in an interview.

http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/03/get-that-job-at-goog...

Filtering out obviously bad employees is really not an issue. It's the fact that you're asking a committee to do exactly what a committee does worst at: making a decision.

So every interview panel collectively decides that it's best to not make the decision (i.e. reject the candidate). It's the path of least consequence for the members of the panel. If it turns out the hire was bad, they don't look like a bunch of fools.

> it's highly likely that someone on the loop will be unimpressed with you, even if you are Alan Turing.

I fully believe this. The only reason you will ever get hired is because the company is desperate to fill a seat at that particular moment in time. It has zero to do with technical skills, social skills, or anything. It's 100% pure luck.

Almost every tech company is "hiring." These companies don't stop hiring. Hiring being the advertising of positions and the interviewing of candidates. But that does not mean those companies are hiring right now. Or even have positions available for those they are advertising. It's often a big bureaucratic ship that doesn't have the capability of even knowing what their needs are at any given time.

The other day I read an article about which language C programmers should use, and how Go is better thought of than Rust but that in the end his suggestion is to go for C++ [0].

Interesting observation was that the Rust community had more fanatic followers who believe in Rust and nothing else, whereas the Go community was more relaxed about it.

That makes me wonder: if something had been written in Rust, would a Go, Python, or C++ developer ask why not in their language? Or would they just not care?

> As an aside, Microsoft fought in court to force OEMs to not install this crap alongside Windows (reasonably since it was damaging their brand and making the machines less secure), but they lost.

This was actually central to the DOJ antitrust case against Microsoft. As part of the settlement, Microsoft had to agree to allow OEMs to keep installing crapware [1].

It's things like this that make me a little nervous when people say that going after big tech with antitrust law will necessarily be good for the consumer.

I feel like we're just using different definitions of implicit nullability, and by your definition, no language with value types is implicitly nullable, whereas by my definition, every language without nullable references is implicitly nullable. I think your definition is bad and uncommon, but that's not a very fruitful line of discussion.
The most obvious difference is that the "mining" of BTC is necessary for its security/transaction layer. The security of the worldwide gold supply is not contingent on constantly directing more resources towards mining, and it is possible to continue to transact with gold if mining were banned altogether. Most holders of gold don't have any interest at all in mining; indeed curtailing gold mining would actually work in their favour.

(But yeah, gold hoarding is pretty wasteful in multiple ways too)
I thought it started in Snapchat, where they were just filters at first, but then the AR stuff started getting added and you’d access them the same way you would the plain filters.

> Re Apache v2 vs MIT...

Golang's BSD 3-Clause + patent-grant; and Rust's dual-licensed MIT (for compatibility with GPL v2, I believe) + Apache v2; whilst Clojure is EPL v1, though EPL v2 (+ the GPL compatibility clause) may also be a decent weak-copyleft choice for a programming language (ianal).

> I wish that Go would adopt Sum Types

And then make a Maybe sum type? But then it is too late as the std lib communicates with nils instead of Maybes

> The best way to know something won't be null is to use value types where possible. Don't return nilable values unless you have a good reason.

I'm not doing this, I'm using an API that does! I cannot choose what some code returns, all I can do is --sigh-- add another null guard.

If it is my discipline to add null guards or have runtime explosions I consider the nulls to be implicit.

That you find as much runtime problems with unwrap/expect in Rust (which have a lot of red tape on them in API docs) as with "missing null guards" in Go, is great for you, but to me that does not make it a good design choice in Go.
It is filtering, the input (video) is filtered down to specific features. i.e. in the cat filter it is filtering everything except eye position, mouth and maybe chin position relative to eyes.
General trends? Yes, of course. But at Jobs's very last WWDC event, they demoed a lot of new Mac developments for Lion that specifically (not generally) mirrored some of the features going into Gnome Shell after (very public) design iteration. At the time, I came away saying that it was basically "Gnome Shell, rotated 90 degrees".

Not sure what "open-source Linux community" means to you, besides a phrase that can be used to denigrate and diminish the work of people who have skill and vision by associating them with unrelated projects that lack polish.

You're also doing a pretty annoying thing where, rather than engaging with someone on the topic of discussion, you instead appeal to the audience's intuition and essentially suggest that the conversation need not happen because the other side can be dismissed outright due to Common Sense things that everyone Knows. (It's a great tactic when your goal is to prevent anyone from taking something seriously because serious examination would necessarily lead to confronting something uncomfortable.)

There is no dillema. Probe it, or GFTO. It works with anything: science, self-called "engineers" applying for a job, trials in order to be guilty or not... easy.

If someone says "gold cures cancer", everyone and his mom would think he is a nut, unless that's true there's no proof that gold cures anything. The same with religion.

>It's clear that religion exists, it's impossible to find a human culture that lacks it.

So what. A lot of tribes had chamans too, and no magic did work, ever. Look up for "cargo cult" in order how religions works, that's the biggest slap to arrogant American Christian ever, because it works like a huge reality mirror, kinda like: hey, look at that bullshit these Australians are believeing, think for a while on your own bullshit from the Stone Age, because these people with no knowledge of the world (no one in China have heard of Jesus until very recent times (relatively) in the late Middle Ages, so maybe it's religion and god wasn't as Universal as they tought).

The same with Native Americans, no matter North of South. No one have heard of crazy world-wide floods, or whatever.

Also, Bible's great flood was a rehash from the Mesopotapian tales, whose legend maybe date back to the end of the Ice Age.

Ditto with Roman/Greek Gods: if you believe in Zeus/Iupiter, most people will tell you to head an asylum, yet the Judeo-Christian God looks "right". It's just hypocrisy. And fear.
Exactly - and I can say from experience that this does generally happen. I manage a node that receives significant amounts over lightning, and channels are typically reused with batch "loop out transactions" that free up liquidity by converting a bunch of lightning transactions into onchain funds without closing a channel.
> Pharma just wants another mass marketable drugs.

Maybe. But I'm not sure how much money you could make out of ketamine, considering that it's old enough that it's AFAIK not under any patents, and it's not a daily drug so even volume and mass marketing might not make it that lucrative.

If my memory serves, the related esketamine might actually be under some kind of a patent, but if you wanted to make money out of that, you'd probably want to show the efficacy of that particular enantiomer, including over plain old ketamine.

I share the concern that ketamine might be yet another thing to try and treat symptoms with, and could make people even more dependent on medication-based approaches. However, doctors would probably just like to have further means of alleviating or treating conditions that they currently don't know how to treat, and although you could still call the medical field out for focusing too much on medication, I'm not sure the motivation in this case is "more money".

I think another interesting point to consider is cost.

> If it is my discipline to add null guards or have runtime explosions I consider the nulls to be implicit.

But they're still explicit nulls.

You seem to be saying that only implicit nulls require null guards, but that's just not what that means (as far as I have learned).

You seem to hate nullability as a concept, which is fine, but that's different from hating implicit nullability.

> That you find as much runtime problems with unwrap/expect in Rust (which have a lot of red tape on them in API docs) as with "missing null guards" in Go, is great for you, but to me that does not make it a good design choice in Go.

Woooah steady in there with the conclusion jumping.

The reason I prefer angle brackets is just because I think it’s a little more readable. For me square brackets and parentheses look too similar in long function declarations. This might be a symptom of my dyslexia but the fact remains it’s a real readability issue for me.

I actually wouldn’t have minded if they used another visually distinct character either. Like the << / >> characters that were also proposed (even though non-ascii characters have usability drawbacks when typing code).
So you worked with customers using some particularly strict vetting protocols. That's a far cry from claiming Maven never reached the popularity in the Java world that NPM has in the Javascript world -- Maven is the dependency manager in the Java world. The entities you worked for are the exception.

Another thing that strikes me as odd in your comparison: those customers you worked with wouldn't have used javascript+NPM either, since it has all of the problems of Maven and external deps and then some! So what exactly are we comparing then?

Rockwell definitely has some questionable security on individual products, but they partnered with Cisco for their Converged Plantwide Ethernet Design [0] which is actually pretty well thought out, and if implemented properly covers off most of the biggest risks. The problem is either that people don't know about it, don't bother to read it, or can't get organizational buy-in to implement it.

When downtime is expensive, the pressure from the business is to err on the side of being able to get experts in to troubleshoot the system as easily as possible, vs guaranteeing that bad guys can't get in. The first they see all the time, and the second seems unreal until it actually happens...

Let's say I own a restaurant. Someone comes in and wants a panini. I don't have a panini press, but the restaurant next door does.

If I tell the customer they can go next door to get a panini, I'm not stealing anything. Maybe that restaurant is packed right now and they'ed rather not have an extra customer, but there is a reasonable expectation that they would generally want customers or at least have a means of turning away unwanted customers otherwise.

On the other hand if I break into my neighbor's restaurant, make a panini, then bring it back to my restaurant to serve and make money off of, all without permission from the neighbor, I am most definitely stealing. Even if I doubt the neighbor will mind because he let me come over and make myself a panini once, I can't unilaterally act off that assumption.
Writing a popular book is also the easiest way to make money. While it's infoproducts not just books, I've made around $250,000 over the past 5 or 6 years with my sidehustle. If you add the dayjob/consulting opportunities it enabled, that number easily jumps to $500,000.

Yes, being born in SFBA, going to Stanford, and getting on the startup wagon straight out of school would've been a better ROI, but that path was not available to me. The sidehustle did however open it up and I'm on that ride now with about a 6 to 7 year delay.

Ish. The east already has the Bath County Pumped Hydro station (aka: "the largest battery in the world")

Its not like the East needs more hydro / energy storage. They've already got GW-hrs of energy storage. That's the "problem" about geography-based solutions: the places where Hydro already makes sense are already built up 50 years ago.

Not that that makes Hydro a "bad idea" or anything. If anything, it proves how Hydro has been tested for decades and is effective. It does mean that the East can build up more Solar Panels, since there's plenty of energy storage available.

In my original comment I said I favor carbon taxes (in addition to other measures to stop carbon emissions).

But the comment I'm replying to seems to imply that it doesn't matter where the electricity comes from, that bitcoin is bad regardless of how the electricity is generated.
Bitcoin's value is derived by the fact that an enormous amount of calculations (and therefore energy) are required to fake a transaction. But smart investors know that just because something is hard does not make something a worthwhile endeavor. We should always go after low-hanging fruit first, and cryptocurrency is not that. I gave up on Bitcoin almost 8 years ago and I haven't regretted it. It is not going to fix the world's financial problems and its going to further wreck the planet. As a father, I don't want any further part of it.
