I disagree that those things make it not absurd. The current behavior is a surprise when you discover it and continues to bite you long after. It shouldn't be changed to a default now; the current behavior should never have existed.

I understood the technical reasons since I've researched them myself. It does literally nothing to change the frustration or convince me not to look for an alternative.
Dija acquires Genie to expand its 10 minute grocery service across UK
This is rich. Britain colonized half the world, imposing it's culture on dozens of societies around the world while exploiting their labor and natural resources, but god forbid modern day migrants to the UK dare display the flag of their homeland and cherish the traditions of their parents. Meanwhile chicken tikka masala is hailed as Britain's national dish. I suspect your xenophobia is a personal foible, not a British sensibility.
What has renaming the master branch got to do with Marxism?
I see, makes sense as the available options increase.

Indeed I imagine it is challenging to compete with eastern european developers on the price. The cost of living there is much lower than where I live for example (Northern Europe).

With that said, any recommendations on places to look for such jobs/contracts with a coastal US salary?
This attack is enabled by VoIP, which is also responsible for callerID spoofing which has led to the tormenting of millions of people daily with phone spam. The gains from VoIP have absolutely not been worth the loss of trust in what was a reliable communication network. I continue to be unimpressed with "deregulation and free markets", in practice it usually means sharks feasting on confused consumers.
I'm Asian, wasn't born in America and didn't grew up in America as well. I don't have a horse in this race. I don't feel annoyed to change that term. I'm only annoyed if someone guilt trip me if I don't change the name out of ignorance (i.e, I don't follow politics, no time for social media). I don't think I have any bias against women or minority in tech. Changing main or master or slave doesn't ring a bell or evoke an emotion in me. If my boss wants it master or main or slave or white or black, I'll do it.

I'm very very surprised about this whole identity politics thing. First time I came to the US and I conversed with this Asian women friend, who told me that she wanted to go to business school, and I asked her "why business school?" and suddenly another Asian women (friend of her) cut me and said "Oh why not, because she is a woman?" and I was like "wow, where did that come from? what does that even mean?" and since that day I know that US racial issue is fucked up big time.
MLK was not by any means color blind. The only way you could come to that conclusion is if your entire understanding of his politics were a single sound bite.
> you're saying we don't decide on what is attractive as a society?

Yes. There’s no “we” who gets to make a conscious decision about these things. Attractive people are not attractive because of some narrative that was constructed.

And that’s just for long term partner preferences. Sexual attraction is almost entirely dependent on biology.
My father has been working in COBOL since the 80s, and his “reference” books are literally a couple of 4” 3 ring binders that he’s assembled over 40 years now of coding.

Everytime the bank tries to switch away from COBOL they run into problems ranging from code latency to lack of support for certain features in the new language among other issues thus far.

I really don’t know what the banks that run cobol mainframes are going to do as most have ignored the Father Time problem where cobol programmers aren’t getting any younger and the language, in my opinion, is miserable compared to the “magic” of newer era languages.

My pops also has made less money then I did as an engineer at a tech co with 3 years experience so banks aren’t valuing the work these folks do very much either.

I’ve told my pops he can do consulting once he retires and make a killing because there’s gonna be a major shortage of cobol folks and a massive amount of mainframe code out there that needs maintenance or a transition into a newer era language.

Edit:
- The author is wrong here

“If you need to change old programs, hiring experienced programmers and teaching them COBOL is the cheap part.”

There is not a surplus of developers or entry level folks willing to learn cobol over another entry level language, so it’s not cheap and it’s not “easy”.
Volkswagen Group manufactures several brands: Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, SEAT, Škoda, MAN, Scania, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini.

Volkswagen will use the same EV platform in Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Škoda brands. Porsche makes their own. Volkswagen

Tesla competes mostly with Volkswagen, Audi and Porche. Seat and Škoda will be cheaper models.
Do you compare to Android with Google services or without/with microg? It makes a big difference.
Again, the average American was not out doing these things. I am not denying that there was a problem then, I am only saying that it is not representative of the average.
How is this possible? Aren't app stores supposed to protect us from this?
The (Republican) Senate committee found that there were in fact extensive ties between Russian intelligence and the Trump campaign, and that Russia actively attacked state election infrastructure. And the (Republican) special counsel found that they actively propagandized over social media, and hacked into Democratic campaign and candidate emails, which ended up being the anti-Clinton story leading up to the election.

It's tired and disingenuous at this point to claim that "the left" made this up.
> I oppose the generic bashing of Apple and Epic’s antitrust campaign, because these have nothing to do with creating an alternative. Indeed if Epic wins, iOS will become even more entrenched.

Supporting Epic’s anti-trust campaign has nothing to do with open source.

I think one of the most damaging things that could possibly happen to open source is that government starts to regulate how software is distributed.

This might damage Apple’s stock price and make a few more
billions for Tim Sweeney, but it will make it much harder for an open free platform to succeed.
So which utopian country do you live in where racism is not an issue?
Anti-racism, which is explicitly non-color-blind, is now accepted ideology among the center right in the US. See for instance Mitt Romney marching in the "Black Lives Matter" protest: https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/07/politics/mitt-romney-black-li...
And the supreme court dismissed it, not on merit, but on procedural grounds from what I know.
But not the person I'm replying to.
And I think it is tremendously disingenuous to claim the opposite. The very same attacks on the "excesses" of progressivism, and "if only you'd focus on this instead of that you wouldn't antagonize people" were beat-up clichés at the time of the women's suffrage movement if not abolition. In fact, calling the claim that there is some widespread suppression of speech and reduction in freedom at a time when clearly more people can say more things to wider audiences than ever before, and with the least interference from anyone, mere "disingenuous" is an understatement. It is hysterically delusional.
I wouldn't. The last time I tried to use their software I asked if anyone had any insights with how to use it in Docker (much of it is written in Python) and the response I got was cringe worthy. I'm just some person on the internet so take that for what you will.
Alternative Viewpoint: Speculating a little bit, this might actually the best thing for the end users. This device already depended on software and cloud services to function at all. Probably Cricut is not doing well financially (I have no data in this regard) and is in danger of not staying in business. This at least gives the die-hard users an option, and helps the company pay for ongoing support of the software and running of the service. Keep in mind they're probably losing money on the hardware.

There have been plenty of other companies who were not able to make the business model work, folded, and left their users stranded with hardware that is no longer supported and doesn't work. That's a worse outcome. (Juicero, Picobrew)

I'm not justifying hardware that depends on services like this - I wouldn't design it that way, and I wouldn't buy something like this. But here we are...
Don't think people are born with leadership trait. Its the experience that one goes through in work and life and along with the thinking that goes with it that makes a leader.

If people are born as leaders, how come world history is full of bad kings/emperors?
And what impact have they had beyond a bunch of anodyne "we support black lives" statements? It's not even clear to me that the rioters were particularly well organized or politically engaged so I'm not sure that social media targeting would make much difference (with I guess the possible exception of censoring any police violence videos).
Just don't call it free software.

One of the best decisions I have done, when I need to use my Java hat, is to have kept using JEE.

Spring even needs a web app to help configure its pleothora of behaviors.
Really interesting. I've often wondered this, but always thought that it would be too good to be true in most cases.

> But in two papers published in the 1990s, Wigderson and his collaborators proved that under certain assumptions, it’s always possible to convert a fast random algorithm into a fast deterministic algorithm. The result established that the complexity class known as “BPP” was exactly equal to the complexity class P. It tied decades of work on randomized algorithms neatly into the main body of complexity theory and changed the way computer scientists looked at random algorithms.

“I think that today almost anybody you asked would tell you randomness is weak rather than that randomness is powerful, because, under assumptions we strongly believe, randomness can be eliminated,” said Wigderson.
Those jobs will definitively be more accessible, but don't expect the same compensation (which I think is fair). Generally speaking, the trend I'm seeing is that the salary will be benchmarked against SF, sort of what GitLab did with their salary calculator. Of course there are a few companies that pay the same, but those are the exception, not the rule. Btw they removed the calculator, so you can use this: http://web-old.archive.org/web/20200721063326/https://about.... although is a bit dated.
Quick ... someone train a network on that ;-)
And the JingPad is currently vaporware. I'm not saying that either works today; I'm betting on which will exist and be usable first.
The hate I've seen generated by ham-handed thought-and-speech policing is hate against the people doing the policing and hate against people standing up against the policing, not hate against the people the policing is ostensibly protecting.

So no, it's not revealing existing hate. It's actively generating new hate.
The Indian government is going to ban it entirely. I'm unconvinced that many Indian investors will want to hold on to an asset which can land them in jail.
JingPad is certainly not the first Linux tablet - there have also been: WeTab, BQ Aquaris E10, PineTab, JooJoo and more.
Something like the ACA as a state-run program had none of the Constitutional problems the ACA has as a federal program. Then again, pretty much every elected American politician only believes in federalism when it suits their agenda.
> Every rifle is semiautomatic

This is just incorrect. Bolt action and muzzleloaded rifles are both extremely common and not semiautomatic.

That being said, "semiautomatic" is usually a useless scare-word thrown in by people who have no clue what they're talking about.
So the point stands then, that the math doesn't add up to pay artists 1 cent a song unless prices go way up

None that I'm aware of.

I live outside of Detroit, so I'm very familiar with the example of how the absolute bottom-tier Detroit Public Schools spend more per student than some of the richest (and highest performing) school districts in the suburbs.
Java was designed when C and C++ were still going strong and there was a feeling (or fear, depending on who you asked) that C++ would be as omnipresent as C was.

Java tried very hard to fix the perceived errors of C++ and operator overloading was high on that list.

Nowadays, we are no longer afraid of operator overloading so I kind of wonder why it hasn't found its way into modern Java.
You can have PFSense act as an access point if you install a Wifi adapter in the box you use as a router. Depending on the square footage you need to cover, you might not need anything else.

I'm curious, are there any specific categories that you would recommend a founder HAS to check out?
Read the Joseph Stalin or Chairman Mao page, see that they do mention millions of deaths because of them. And before you ask, no, the connection between Stalin and communism is highlighted in the article, it's not like anyone tries to hide it.

I'm not saying there's no bias on the Wiki, but it manifests in interpretations and wording choices, the facts are generally there. At least in the articles about history, which I read regularly.

As an example, read the page on George Washington and you'll see he recommended a total war against indigenous people of America, "the total destruction and devastation of their settlements and the capture of as many prisoners of every age and sex as possible". It's downplayed, explained away in all kinds of ways, but the fact is there.
I tried removing the SIM, but that did not help.
I don't think I was dismissing your case, and I'm guessing we're in the same minority group.
They executed Joe Hill and Fred Hampton, and imprisoned Eugene Debs for years.

Just look at COINTELPRO for example, that's what happens.
Yes I really really want to see 3DXP at least survive in some form. And AFAIK only Facebook and a small handful of other vendor are using it.

If you believe only officially identified US citizens should vote, the left started attacking decades ago. Also, there was a strong 'Trump stole the vote' campaign 4 years ago, similar to the current narrative pushed by Trump supporters.
The mindset that Java is often blamed for was already in full swing when other technologies ruled the enterprise.

Architecture astronauts will produce the same designs regardless of the programming language.
I don't think Android really significantly competes with iOS or vice versa. Android and iOS are almost entirely independent markets. The competition for Android devices is other Android devices. The competition for iOS devices...isn't.
The Democrats beat back a left-wing challenge from their base quite handily and Joe Biden was proud to say so. When I consider this and the generally contemptuous attitude of Dems toward their more progressive supporters, I find the notion of a Red Guard reshaping America in their image something like a fever dream and not a serious analysis.

To my mind the Capitol raid is playing a much larger role in their minds. The thought isn't "we need to create a far left America" but "we came way too close to the peaceful transfer of power being usurped."
I've never actually encountered a situation where the differences in terminology actually matter (same as sub-routine and procedure), so I'm comfortable dismissing them.
Virtual Learning Might Be the Best Thing to Happen to Schools
>The real issue is that a lot of people who are pushed or drawn into management roles don’t actually like managing or leading. Some are pushed into management because they’re the most competent IC on the team

I think this is spot-on. People, for whatever reason, view management as the next step of a career when it's actually a career change. Yes, it's in the same domain, but it's a totally different job.

I've done the transition from IC to Manager, back to IC, and then back to Manager again. Unless you like and want to do "manager" things, you're going to have a bad time.
> There is a dozen apps, and most of these are opensource.

And some of them work in tandem, apparently.

> Not to count that the protocol and the federation are open.

HTTP is open. Would you not consider it problematic if Google blocked accessing websites because some engineer doesn't like the opinions published on those websites?
But it wasn't a fringe part of it, that's the precise problem.

On May 16, 2017, Nancy Pelosi tweeted "Our election was hijacked. There is no question."

Is Pelosi considered a fringe part of the Democratic Party now?
Are the cobol devs from the past the equivalent of the modern day vbs and excel script persons?

No, they were writing the typical corporate applications - an interface to enter data into a database, or to run a query and generate some nicely formatted output. They were the equivalent of a modern day webdev.
The problem is maintenance, it's a cost center, it doesn't directly generate revenue, so it's been eliminated.

NOBODY is willing to spend money for maintenance on ANYTHING, look at our infrastructure.

If it wasn't for the FAA making it illegal to not maintain planes, we'd be seeing the same thing with airlines and their planes.

We are seeing this with the Air Force right now, where they are now trying to reverse engineer parts for planes and then 3d print those parts, because no one was willing to spend the money to maintain documentation, maintain vendors, and parts inventory, etc.

Software is especially vulnerable to this phenomenon, because it's not physical so it's considered to be completely fungible, but in fact it's even harder to maintain than physical systems.

The same way Wall Street rewarded companies that closed factories, and outsourced physical locations, and staff, they've also rewarded companies that have eliminated maintenance.

That's just the way it is.
How exactly are you quantifying the amount of violence for which each side is responsible?
I find Ars Technica seems to mostly strike this balance reasonably well in their comments. It can frequently get heated without actually descending into Reddit levels. Their moderation appearts to do a reasonable job.
>Most professional developers I've met hear Emacs and think it's something that last ran on dusty old DEC iron -- and that includes people who worked at DEC in the 80s! The fact that Emacs is still maintained and runs on modern systems came as a genuine surprise to them.

Bullshit, a lot of Linux/Unix developers used Emacs in the 90's and early OO's.

I was there.
Commodities, global property, Bitcoin....
What exactly is the "whac" that is intended for people with views outside of the mainstream?
That is the hardest part. Certain professions give a kind of boost. If you switch from being a lawyer or some type of engineering background managers will assume you are smart. Much harder if you move from being a waiter or actor where the assumption may go the other way.
He's not saying it's going to fail, whatever that means. He's saying it's going to lose value. Not only can that happen, but historically it happens with 100% probability. We can only argue about how much and how quickly.

At some point the US will lose reserve currency status. It's happened to every reserve currency before the USD and will happen again with probability of 1. The question is only how soon.
You'll note that the user you're replying to mentioned news organizations, not people with fedal power.
Can you name the people at these large tech companies you trust to determine what constitutes a hoax and what doesn't? How will you hold them to account should they get it wrong?
I had a similar issue with conquest of camelot. I was playing on a monochrome display, and you had to find an amulet in the catacombs. I spent hours looking for it, then I played it on my dad's computer with EGA, and it was bright yellow on gray and glaringly obvious.
It's generally agreed upon that the CEO of Bank of America during the 2008 financial crisis is an idiot.

So in the ~50 posts written so far, the biggest word I don't see yet wrt Tesla is "supercharge", as-in their supercharging network. It remains an enormous Achilles' heel for competitors that really kind of puts a hard stop on a lot of other debate in my opinion. So far in the US at least it's still the case that everyone sort of seems to be assuming that eventually widespread generic charging networks will, like, just kind of happen on their own. And that probably will be true. Eventually. And I know there have been some haphazard plans to address it. But the fact on the ground remains that every other network seems to really suck in comparison to the infrastructure investment and quality-of-experience Tesla has made. Superchargers are starting to reach the point where they're reliably available nearly any time they're needed (ie., on trips beyond normal nightly charging). The experience of using them is convenient and pleasant. They're clean. They're not broken regularly. They work.

Yeah Telsa's quality control issues are real. I agree that cars like the Ioniq 5 look very interesting in terms of interior design and QoL features that I care way, way more about than some theoretical top speed or acceleration or whatever that I'll never remotely touch in my life. But then inevitably when considering full ICE replacement (and cars in the $30k+ price class for most of us are going to be main vehicles not just-for-going-around-town) it comes back around to the whole actually-getting-electricity-into-the-vehicle-on-long-trips bit and woof.

A few months back HN had a long thread on an HBR piece "Tesla’s charging stations left other manufacturers in the dust" [0], and it says it all. If other manufacturers can't get that sorted out it'll continue to be a major drag on their ambitions and give Tesla more runway to sort out their growing pains. Tesla is ultimately an electric infrastructure company along with cars, and I think that does matter at this stage of electrification.

Resistive heating is 100% efficient, they are saying 96% for microwave, meaning you will need 4% more power to achieve the same heating either in a tank or no tank.
