I'm not lawyer and this isn't legal advice, but...

you may not want to mention the benefits your startup is getting from your previous employment. The company may feel that the relationships were theirs, not yours.
So it’s a purity test? Many people are just wired to reject this conformist line of thinking from the very starting point. You’re saying, let’s all do this pointless activity so we can see who has an attitude problem. It reminds me so much of how children are treated in schools or churches, and I really chafe at it. I couldn’t care less about your nominal cause or sense of self-righteousness, it’s the attitude and behavior of you imagining your fellow citizens are children that strikes me as offensive and drives resistance. I don’t doubt your good intentions but this way of thinking about solutions (your tools) is rather poisonous and places the banner under which you use them in pretty bad company.
Im not sure why it matters how NFT's reference the media, as you are not buying media. You are buying a NFT associated with the media.

The easiest analogy I have come up with to describe NFTs are collectable baseball cards. You don't get rights to the player's salary, publishing rights to the image, ect. You own the card/token only.
> Never in tech have I seen conversation about Asian Americans been brought up.

I guess it's now been brought up, so that's a milestone.
What's also easily weaponized is the tendency to assume that they don't have them. Observing one's own implicit bias takes work, while denying they exist is easy. Being asked to look makes you feel put-upon, and that feeling is easily turned into grievance.

So if you're on the lookout for weaponization, be sure to look around widely. None of us is immune to having our "common sense" flattered.
I agree. I must have wasted weeks of my life trying to get access to systems that just would not tell me what went wrong.
Often just returning a 400 error code.
Or given the "username or password incorrect" message even it not true.

It is even worse when you are developing the client or trying to access a new server.

It could be a wrong user name.
Or I should have used my email instead of the user name or the other way around.
or the password
or it could be that the account is expired
or an expired certificate
or maybe some negotiation of encryption codecs failed
or an URL is wrong.
or maybe the server-side DB was down.
once it turned out to be a REST API that stopped accepting single-quoted strings generated by a client.

Then you click the "I forgot my password button" and nothing happens.
You do not know if an email was sent. Or if an email was sent, to which email address is was sent. Or if it was stopped by a spam filter.
Reporting failure is not rewarded, unfortunately. Unless the incentives change, things won't change.
I loved that show and think it finished rather than was cancelled.

But many of the folks I recommended it to, didn’t like it. Various reasons provided but I remember stuff like “depressing” and “failure” coming up a lot.
The hate against the people "doing the policing" and the hate against the "people standing up to the policy" were already there. Hate doesn't spring parthenogenically from the void, it has to be seeded and nurtured and cultivated and be vomited out only when the time is right.

Voicing a disagreement does not require or beget hate.
I think its a great Illustration of the different problematic behaviors you encounter when you work pretty much anywhere. However, the solutions although quite straightforward and make sense, in real the situation is not so simplistic. For e.g. you have the dictator PMs that refuse to do anything that didn't come from them. The solution is to have the upper management talk to them. In my work, we have a PM who is literally sitting at the top of the chain (reports to CEO) and displays those characteristics. Pretty everything anyone has tried to solve this problem in the last 10 years, hasn't worked and people have destroyed their own careers over trying to fix the behavior. In cases like this, the only thing that works is either do what they say or find another job.
Both I suspect. OpenWRT sacrifices safety to work on low power devices i.e. no https package updates.
It's a 'caricature' in that choosing societies renown for being valiant warriors erases much complexity (how much nuance and complexity were you expecting from a sports mascot?). Anyway, if this were a sincere movement, it would similarly object to equivalent depictions of the Irish, Vikings, Romans, Spartans, Trojans, etc.
"Juiced returns" is a consequence of some investment strategies, but not all. For example, if you aimed to hold a constant-maturity bond portfolio then that involves a degree of enforced trading - you need to sell shorter maturities and buy longer ones as time passes so that you don't end up with a year less maturity for each year the passes (or worse if defaults or other events lead to early calls or early payments without make-whole compensation). Likely you'd have got better than expected returns doing this (but then it was always a bet on falling rates).

But if you'd just bought a portfolio of bonds to give you a fixed bucket of maturities (which is what by far the larger part of the market has usually tended to do) and only reinvested cashflows as you received them from the issuers, you'd have likely underperformed your initial expectations because you faced reinvestment risk.

That lower return probably would have been compensated by inflation also falling for some of that time. But real yields have now been negative for quite a while, so to maintain returns you'd have been forced to accept more risk.
Is this not easily automatable? My Mac(s) is/are provisioned using Strap, and this includes configuration of the terminal/Neovim/general settings. Surely this could all be done for a BSD setup?
They are. For example Seattle has a council member from the Socialist Alternative party. There are a few Democratic congress representatives that are socialists (both in state and national level). Some socialist policies have successfully been pushed by socialist party members (e.g. the current medicare for all bill has around 100 democratic house members backing it up).

However the confinement of the current democratic system in the USA today simply doesn’t allow for third parties to gain national traction. There are mathematical models that proves this fact. For the real left to get socialist parties to the national assembly some democratic reforms needs to happen first.
Another point in support of this (rather horrific and terrifying) view is how babies were treated 200 years ago. Names were not given at birth, important religious events were postponed, etc. Until the parents had some reason to believe the baby will survive more than a year (which was not all that certain), they were not bestowing much humanity on the kid.
I see. GraalVM sounds great. Thanks for the explanation
I'm fine being labeled an idealist. Depending on the client or employer, this role has served me well. On occasion, there is no space for an idealist and if alignment can't be carved out, I'm happy to move on.

Now. Where can a 57yo idealist find a job in today's world?
Please see my sibling comment to yours. I don’t generally see this treated as a “dogma,” nor do I think it should be. It’s an important part of self-reflection.

Saying “I’m not a racist” may be treated as having failed to do that self-reflection in some camps, because usually, for most people, things are more nuanced. So a sign of having done that reflection is often an unwillingness to make such categorical statements about something as complex as our own internal motivations and feelings. I’m not sure whether or not that’s fair, but I would imagine that’s where some of that comes from.

What do you think about a service like I'm building https://cloudblast.network (Opens Apr 1) Do you think it's something you'd try?.. Makes it easy to use self-hostable software, Gogs for example. Combines discovery, hosting and backup. Updates are automatic.
I think you are talking about the pie chart image in the blog post? I think "programming languages" is the default tag that Wakatime assigns to any file type inside VS Code.

The issue started occurring intermittently at 08:26 US/Pacific. The issue is impacting Google’s Backbone network and may impact various services when accessing them from a different region or from the internet. Impacted services include Cloud Services (Workspace, Firebase, GCP) as well as other Google properties.

Connectivity within a zone should not be impacted.

Our engineering team has implemented a mitigation and is now monitoring the effectiveness of the change.
I did it, and the additional pain of all those bandaids proposed here it not worth it. I did crash servers, deleted clusters, botched up firewalls and routing by misclicks.

But any damage caused by this does not approach the pain caused by misguided attempts to avoid it.
this applies to half of my notes from 6+ months ago. why am I so cryptic with note taking?
I mean, there's Amazon Glacier, Amazon S3 Glacier and Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive. Guess whether I managed to pick the option I meant to pick when using those for the first time...
I think this does make an impact. At 30% I wasn't even slightly considering trying to make money from a mobile app. At 15% it at least becomes an idea, though that's still a pretty high percentage just to be listed and distributed in a store.
Does Cloudflare use Google Cloud? I know they have a ton of their own hardware, but maybe they outsource some things?

I had my first ever Cloudflare outage earlier today. It's just a free site that has a single page rule that redirects to a different domain, but it started refusing connections for a little while today.
The Implications of the Grayscale Discount

Sounds difficult if you want to replicate organs 1-1, but what makes sense for human/animal bodies isn't necessarily the best way for labs. Maybe a single large biochemical reactor can solve half of those issues? There are already well established procedures for growing cell cultures and multiple startups that want to grow muscles (meat) or other organs. I don't know details - not my field - but pretty sure a large part of those seemingly hard problems are already solved/worked around.
One major difference is that the card is its own, physical object with some intrinsic value (e.g. you can display it in a case). NFTs lack even that.
genetic diversity for its own sake is hard to justify as a goal, or else indeed we wouldnt be fighting this virus to extinction
> You’ve yet to explain why the people who do live there have less of a claim to the house than the wealthier people who would buy it from them.

You've yet to explain why the people living there have more of a claim to the land than anyone else in society. The model you've proposed is basically "first come first serve" (ie. homesteading principle). Except even that doesn't apply given that some of the land currently in private ownership was previously used by others, who were forced off it, via colonization in North America, and the enclosure acts in Europe. Should we return the land to the descendants of the Native Americans?

Given that land is a scarce good, and access to good land gives substantial benefits to those with access, "first come first serve" simply isn't a workable way to allocate land. Those with land are able to charge rents to those without, and they can pass this privilege down to their heirs, keeping this inequality going.

> Its not at all clear that property owners benefit disproportionately from social services, and they also pay for those services through taxes.

Here's a simple example. Suppose the government decides to build a new transit line going to the edge of the city. The rents and property values along the line will increase. And in most places, income and sales taxes fund at least part of the cost. So renters will pay some of the cost, but get no financial benefit, while also paying increased rents. On the other hand, the landowners will pay some of the cost, but they'll also profit from the increased rents and land values. Essentially, renters pay "twice" for government services: once for the actual service, and then again when the existence of the service leads to higher rents, which are then reaped by landowners.

> I think most of this recent fascination with Georgism is a result of California tax policy and doesn’t withstand a cursory economic analysis.

Basically every economist agrees with the principles behind Georgism, starting from Adam Smith and David Ricardo, and continuing to modern economists like Milton Friedman and Joseph Stiglitz, so I don't really know what you're talking about here.

You should read about the Law of Rent by Ricardo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_rent), which basically states what I have said here: land rent is equal to the marginal economic advantage, which is obviously not created by the landowner.
Suppose that 80% of the population support something that me and my friends don't like. If we can divide this group into two, by finding things that they strongly disagree over, then we can guarantee that this 80% never gets to express its majority.

So if we can put 50% of these people in a group called "Left" and 50% of these people in a group called "Right", and then prevent direct democracy with something such as elected representatives, then neither the Left nor the Right ever has to vote on the issue, because instead they are fighting over the most important thing, e.g. abortion. When the Left are in power, they are focused on the things that the Right is trying to take away, and vice versa. There is an eternal struggle. As a result, the things that a majority agrees on never get voted on, and even if they did, whoever is not in power would vote against them.

This is not hypothetical. There are several major issues that have the support of the majority (sometimes as much as 80%) of the population, and yet they are never voted on.

Left and Right is a trap.
This is true in many areas (California), but not in others. There are ghost residential areas in many countries. In 2004 in Spain 675.000 house starts - more than UK, Germany and France combined (45 millions citizens in Spain vs 80+65+65).

There were not unsurmountable government restrictions (obviously). There was no real demand for it. The housing demand was largely speculative, people investing in houses because "prices never go down". Often, they didn't even get rented - why bother, if the valuation of your "investment" grows faster than what you can get from rent?

In markets like these, huge increases in supply don't drive the prices down. Hoarding, speculation and housing flipping absorb everything that gets built. We still have insanely high housing prices today.
Agree with bits are bits, the point would be to not rely at all on centralized hosting of those bits. For example, if NBA TopShots shuts down and I didn't save my video clip it could be lost forever.

The URLs currently stored on-chain point at something mutable, ideally they would point to something as immutable as the signature itself.
Should companies let employees choose their tasks?
I agree with you that allowing each organization to make their own seasonal shifts requires less coordination and is simpler in many ways.

Just to be clear, I was responding to the parent poster who suggested we "just legislate that things start earlier at a certain time of year" as an alternate implementation of a coordinated schedule change. Among the various coordinated approaches that I can think of, changing clocks seems like the least bad.

And there is undoubtedly some utility in a coordinated approach given how intertwined our lives are. But whether it's worth the additional cost? I don't know. Trying to get my kids to school on time this Monday was more difficult than usual, but at the same time I can't actually shift my work day earlier unless the schools also start earlier.

The Underground Fat Burner Review, Legit or a Scam?
Ok, but ‘not much worse than fiat’ is hardly a ringing endorsement.
'Close to half' could be also 'majority' or 'minority', depending on whose side you are on.

'Overwhelming majority' better be more than 75% but it's often less.

'Small percentage'...of 300mln people is still a substantial number.

Add to that much of arguments we use daily are based on sampling which has a varied degree of accuracy.

I think all we can do is to agree to disagree...vote and respect voting results.

Fascinating concept and complex to my stupid and simple mind.
At least in Linux kernel terminology "block device" and "disk" seem to be used almost interchangably, for example the gendisk structure with the accompanying add_disk, alloc_disk, etc methods for creating block devices [1].

Meanwhile on a API level Windows talks about "disk drives" that abstract over "physical media" [2], but when talking to end users uses "hard drive" as the generic term, like in the sentence "You can install Windows to a hard drive, such as a hard disk drive or a solid-state drive" [3]

You may want to try out one of a number of empirical implicit bias tests at https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html

These tests have been administered to large numbers of people and on average, almost every single person that has taken the test has scored some level of implicit bias. As a result, it's very likely (but not certain) that you ARE unaware of your implicit bias.

Of course, if you take the tests and score perfectly, you'll now be able to demonstrate empirically that you have no measurable implicit bias and will have an answer to those people who insist you do.

The reason why this is different to the walking on water statement, is that there are hundreds of thousands of data points all showing implicit bias is almost universal, whereas there are zero data points showing people can walk on water after believing in Jesus.

I had to cancel a trip last November and I only received a portion of what I paid as credit because that was the first month the airline company didn't cancel flights. I think it's getting easier to plan for trips now, but I'm not sure what "normalcy" will be and when and if it will get back to the "normal" we remember.
He didn't just want her to find votes that can fail signature verification, he wanted her to look for them in specific areas that vote heavily Democratic. Which means that he was not asking her to validate that people voted accurately, he was asking her to slip her thumbs on the scales and make the vote come out his way.

That is why he "needed" her to do so. Because he wanted the vote to come to the result that he wanted, and not the result that reflected the actual will of the voters.
>I think the name change does more harm than good because it trivializes the movement.

What do you mean? Name change of a default branch clearly fixes issues of racism in the software industry. Racism in IT = gone
You're making unproven assumptions about which meaning applies to what.

Quick search of definitions of master include (paraphrased slightly for brevity):
-(n) person with people working for them
-(n) person in charge
-(adj) showing great skill
-(adj) main/principal
-(v) to acquire complete knowledge/skill in something
-(v) to overcome (as in one's emotions)

Depending on whether it had a more literal or more abstract genesis, I could see almost all of those variants apply to Master of Science.

Similarly, for master branch -- it could easily be 4 of the 6.

Now add in the fact that these meanings change over time, that they can be coined organically vs. explicitly, and that different early adopters can themselves have different connotations of the meaning in mind.

TLDR: There's nothing simple or clear about the case for removal.

It means "individual contributor" , and implies you don't have any reports. As opposed to "tech lead" or "player-coach" (currently in vogue) which implies you are supposed to be effective as a technical contribute but also have a formal manager relationship with at least one person. Let a lone a classic manager who doesn't do much or any direct contribution technically.

There is some confounding in this thread of manager-of-people roles and manager-of-things roles, which also causes confusion.
Phrack's article on buffer overflows on the stack was incredible back in the day. It taught me more about how computers work than any class in University. I referred back to it for years for understanding how programs actually run. Will always have a soft spot for that.
Thats fair, I'm just thinking for companies that back OSS projects. It can be hard to get those questions seeded even though they have been asked and answered a thousand times with their customers and internally by new hires.

I've had to deal with projects where the "main" branch was named: master, main, blead.

I almost never "name" that "main" branch, thanks to commands and aliases.

When I want to pull (and rebase) to the "main" branch, I run "git prom". When I want to check out the "main" branch, I "git com". What actually happens depends on what the project's "main" branch is. If a project later moves to a "live" branch, I'll just update the "git-main" script to detect it ahead of the rest, and off I go.

https://github.com/mfontani/los-opinionated-git-tools/blob/m... is less than ten lines of bash.

git-com is really just: git checkout "$(git main)"

git-prom is really just: git pull --rebase origin "$(git main)"

I'm not particularly sold on "main" vs "master" being an important thing, but if it's important to some I at least want to ensure I don't get frustrated when interacting with a project which uses it. With the above aliases and functions and programs, I don't care anymore.

main, master, blead... call it whatever.
My takeaway is this: stop copy-pasting commands in the shell and use the superior history/command-line editing features of read line instead.
> When I say, they're treated as white, it's more like they're treated "not a POC"

You have missed the point. However they are being treated, by definition, is how asian-americans in tech are treated.

They aren't being treated as "not POC", that is how asian poc are treated.
