That common character is called a generation name, as it is shared among the same generation in a family. This practice is seen much less commonly in recent times. For example, none of my friends bear a name in this format.

However, sometimes while siblings share a common character in their name, it may not a generation name. Some parents like to name their children this way, though in such case, the common character may appears in any position of the given name. So it's kinda hard to tell whether it's a generation name thing just by the name, without consulting the name bearer themselves or their parents.
> There's probably some law on the books that says the City has their own police force

City of London Police Act 1839

> and rewriting it opens up a whole can of worms nobody wants to deal with.

The issue is political. Business interests want to retain the City of London as independent from Greater London because while the rest of London is a one-person-one-vote democracy, the City of London is not. Most of the votes in the City of London are controlled by businesses not residents. The City of London having its own police force is a sign of its independence. Merging City of London Police into the Metropolitan Police Service would be seen as a potential steppingstone to making the City of London part of Greater London, and hence introducing to it genuine democracy

No it's not, it's barely above minimum wage when you consider hours worked. Not to mention the job dangers (stress/burnout/health impacts).
What do junior workers do at these banks that require them to work 80 hour weeks?

Nothing worth it. I've talked to people who have been through the investment bank meat grinder and who got out. One guy went to Silicon Valley. He said tech firms have their own issues but treat him far better.

The gist is: there's a culture of abusive working practices that appears to have becomes self-perpetuating in the way that hazing rituals at US colleges or the army sometimes do. Much of the work is horrendously inefficient, for example, writing long reports for managers that are then never read, or which are read and then ignored, or in which only a single figure is actually needed. Other problems involve managers who have no idea what they want so constantly change their requirements, causing work to be scrapped and redone, but with arbitrary and ludicrous deadlines attached.

Additionally managers think nothing of setting someone a new task to write a large report at 9pm on Friday night, then demanding it be delivered to their private home at 6am on Saturday morning.

Because the workers are young and ambitious, they tolerate this even though they can see that a lot of it is work for work's own sake. And presumably the only ones who make it are the ones who have become inured to the notion that arbitrary work is some measure of self-worth, and thus try to select "the best" by pushing people to the limits and seeing who breaks.

This culture is entirely absent in tech, where if someone is asked to do a task there's a general expectation that the task actually matters and has been thought about - at least a little bit.
I was also born in USSR and old enough for Komsomol when it disintegrated.

Nope, it wasn't much similar to woke culture, mainly because it was rather rigid top-down command hierarchy of values. The current brands of values and socialist morals were rationalized in the Central Committee, then propagated through Republics committees, then oblasts and regions down to town administrations into individual organizations, factories and schools (and sometimes police stations).

In other words it was very much the opposite direction. Now you can liken woke culture to mob rule (tho I think that'd be exaggerating) or whatever, point is it's nothing like the Soviet system.

I think it's because at some point they start to rely on features solely available in OSX and at the same time repeating somehow what Microsoft did in dominant years of IE on Windows but without all that predatory tactics. The times obviously change; today companies give their users ecosystems of software and services successfully trapping them within these; Safari is the browser for Apple ecosystem, just like Edge tries to be for Microsoft one.

Safari on Windows was left alone in time Chrome was in the process of being bundled with various software installers as an additional option - which is the way how this browser become popular. I doubt it will be ever pushed forward with development, simply because Microsoft and Windows it's not Apple's subject of interest. Sure, they do offer iCloud services for Windows but it's a rather basic stuff that allows to use different platform from time to time, not on everyday basis (as in, you aren't buying just to remove OSX and install Windows).

Of course, would be great to have more options but we're living in almost homogeneous web browser world - it's all about Chromium/Blink, even Microsoft abandon their engine and took Chromium. There's of course Firefox but honestly, I don't think it's gonna last long - not will all these decisions that has been made and how Mozilla treated its (power)users. We're all dependent on Chromium, its devteam and what Google decides is "best" for the whole world and the Internet. Which I believe, is certainly a bad thing.
Haskell has strict limits on side-effects, but also abstracts these functions over the thing you're "forEaching." There, a reduce can't implement a map, because a map is required to return the same type of collection you put in. A reduce can only return an arbitrarily chosen collection (say, an Array).

And without side-effects, a map can't implement a forEach.
Throughout my professional career, I've worked as an engineer for the buy-side (arguably better work-life balance compared to sell-side, i.e. banks). More often than not, I was working under a manager/team lead that made it abundantly clear to the team that one "will not progress in the company if they think they can leave everyday at 5pm". I've also had a manager who was speechless to find out that we did not, in fact, sign waivers that meant we give up regular working hours and can therefore be forced to work long hours every day or on the weekends.

Funnily enough, I can't count the number of times I had an interview and the interviewer described the company as the 'Google of Finance', with an emphasis on work-life balance. It couldn't be further away from the truth in my experience. Management in the financial industry is unfortunately still plagued with people who think that more working hours is perfectly correlated with more productivity.

They are, according to the GDPR. For some reason it's just not properly enforced (see the sad state at https://enforcementtracker.com/).

What's particularly funny about this form is that the "legitimate interests" they claim, meaning they don't require consent, can be disabled.

Luckily uBlock Origin blocks the stupid form along with 44 other elements.
Pretty much none of the apps, native or web I use regularly, need notifications in order to do what I want them to do. It is usually the makers of said apps that really really want notifications as a strategy to increase engagement.

> It does seem like the GDPR is being exploited to manipulate how users consent in a way that benefits the website's online ad scheme more than the user's experience.

Agreed.

> If I were drafting a GDPR, I would standardise the consent mechanism and not allow for much creativity. Ideally IMO the consent process, e.g., each pop-up, should be so predictable that consent/denial of consent could be automated. Asking users to read terms, and engage in some sort of interactive consent is not practicable. Users will just click "OK" or whatever they need to in order to make the pop-up go away. Website developers know this and it should be no surpise if they are taking advantage of that to sneek in all manner of one-sided terms.

I would agree, except ... these pop-ups are visible and it is easy to verify that certain information is being presented. The failure review such information falls to the end user, even though there are legitimate reasons why they would click to make the pop-up go away (e.g. the time required to review the information). Unfortunately, it is difficult for most people to verify which cookies are being used by a particular site and it is impossible for them to verify how they are being used.
Deconstructing Jackie
Well, that the law is wrong on one aspect does not mean it is wrong for every thing.

We should strive making the law match what is morally right, but law ≠ morally right. There are lawful things that are morally wrong and conversely.

This is difficult because:

- it is difficult for the law to keep up with every aspect of things

- "morally right" is not universal. It is proper to each person.

My take is: don't use the law as a definition of what is right and keep being critical. Breaking the law might be the right thing to do in some situations (and not breaking it, the wrong thing to do!), but be aware of the consequences of doing so. Law is also a common ground to make a society work by getting people to act under the same rules, so it makes sense to abide by it if there is not a good reason not to do so. It's not perfect and does not make sense for some things. It can also evolve for the better through civil disobedience, which is a bit paradoxical because while society relies on people following the law, breaking it in this situation may be a right thing to do (depending on your views!).

(edit: I'm saying this as someone who, by default, does not much like laws and rules. I need to make sense of rules to follow them without reluctance)
I wouldn't care about what Safari is doing if iOS would allow you to install browsers that are not based on webkit. The fact that Apple only allows webkit browser makes it so much worse and means that no one can compete on iOS against Apple

"All the other feedback I got from my team was overwhelmingly positive."

If this is true, then you have nothing to worry about. The complaining person is an underperforming outlier and the rest of the team would be eager to use your feedback to get rid of them.

However, something about this story feels off. It could be a Byzantine fault - multiple parts of the story being untrue, creating a false overall picture. It could well be that you're actually creating an atmosphere of fear where others agree with you because that's the easiest form of conflict resolution.

If your manager is saying "resolve your differences" and not taking sides, it could be that you're both seen as troublesome.
> How is something like having Google Analytics on your site "shady shit"? I would think counting unique visitors is a legitimate business interest for most businesses.

Just because it's free and somewhat nice looking, doesn't mean it isn't shady shit. Maybe all you care about is counting unique visitors, but by doing that with Google Analytics, you're exposing your visitors to a complex surveillance product that collects data for its own purposes, and it sees much more than what's needed to just count unique visits.
Or if you want to avoid off-by-one errors, why not have a function:

dotimes(n, () => button.click())

If anyone is in the habit of solving trivial constant space problems in linear space where n is expected to be over 100000, I don't know what to say to them. Are Javascript implementations pretty much guaranteed to optimise the array away?

I will try the finder changes, but I have my doubts crap won't randomly appear in my ~/Desktop folder automagically.

As for the dock, auto-hiding it doesn't disable it, it just hides it. So it remains visible in mission control, and still has bouncing icons from time to time. It also uses system resources, etc.

Ideally I wouldn't have to hack around these settings and could just turn off both these features, like I could on Snow Leopard.
It’s hard to follow if you are an old business built on gathering and selling your customers data.

I can see how it’s a though pill to swallow that that was exactly the point.
There still is a semi-democratic process (barring large-scale network effects for the sake of discussion): whether a given person chooses to become (or stay) a customer. People vote for or against a company’s products/services with their money.

> Why was it pivotal?

Countries were transformed from feudal holdings under a monarch into nation states.

I sincerely urge you to learn more. It's much more complex than a few fanatics overthrowing a king and then falling apart. Specifically, it's about how the full military power of France was unleashed upon Europe, and crucially, this was a power driven by ideology - people should govern themselves, not be beholden an ancient royalty and church.

Napoleon could probably never had risen as far as he did under the monarchy. And crucially, he took power in part because he was so successful in waging the Republic's wars.
Use first-party, privacy-friendly tracking solutions. Usually, first-party cookies don’t require consent.

I would love to have a technical solution for browser-wide consent management, but it wouldn’t solve the issue of granular, informed consent for all the shady things that are possible in adtech.

Also, the law certainly doesn’t prohibit a technical solution, but that really is something that the industry should work out.
> What complexity is that?

First and foremost ownership shenanigans. The complexity spill over the entire ecosystem. You can't write a fizz buzz without discovering the standard library has 2 types of strings because of that.

> not having exceptions makes code significantly easier to understand

Both error codes and exceptions have their place. Imagine a streaming parser of some XML/JSON/mpeg4/whatever. There's nothing you can possibly do in the parser to handle socket errors. Exceptions make parser's code more readable, essentially you pretend sockets never fail.

> confused about the problem and needed to rethink my whole approach

No amount of rethinking gonna help when you need a graph data structure in your code. Ownership shenanigans making graphs complicated in Rust, fundamentally so.
That's what I thought, until I never understood and was way more emotionally involved than I actually was involved. How will you handle that frustration?

I didn't realize it at the time, but everyone of the same seniority level, but a few years older, already realized not to give a single fuck about anything beyond their immediate sphere of influence. They had already learned that the work truly did not matter, and at a moment's notice they'd be tossed aside as person if given enough reason.

So, don't hope for much if you can't really control it, or spend your time gaining control, as in agency, over decisions that are actionable. Otherwise, burnout is on the horizon, because your expectations and devotion are way higher than you might get out of it, but the stress is maxxed out.

The parent here is perfectly on the money.

I'd also extend this to other areas of life. Probably try not to involve yourself too much with things that you can't influence, or things that you think people should care about but really don't. Not that they aren't inherently good, but you'll grind yourself down trying for nothing specific.

Impact of digital technologies on the civic space
I'm a native (BrE) speaker, and it sounds perfectly natural to me, but I understand what you mean, I can see that.

Say you're about to drive over a cliff edge, the obvious thing I can do is 'warn you about it', but I can also 'warn you not to do it' because it's dangerous, etc.

If I instead 'warned you to drive over the cliff':

- something else needs to follow - 'or else I will do something worse to you' for example

- it means that you should (IMO - my *fictional* O!) do it

If you want that more active phrasing, the unnegated infinitive 'to drive', or 'to use' rather than 'to avoid' the site, you need to say something like 'caution against' instead of 'warn'.

It could have been:

> Police caution students against using science website

A warning is either about a bad thing:

> Science website considered harmful, police warn

Or a strong suggestion for corrective action:

> Don't use science website, police warn

> Police warn students not to use science website

It's really no different to being a medical resident in THE US. 8 years of college, $250k in student loans and you make $25k salary working 80+ hours a week for 2-6 years. Why do that? Because at a later point you're a specialist or a surgeon who can make $300k-1m+ (depending on specialty).

These investment bankers are all trying to get promoted from being an associate. By the time they're 30, assuming they've survived that long, they'll likely have 7 figure salaries.

Back in the mid 2000s I remember reading about top Wall Street traders taking home $50m annual bonuses.

So that's why they do it. What's wrong with that?

Is it really any different to working 100 hours a week on a startup for nothing, possibly for years?
