>> but there are some beliefs that tell me people aren't critical thinkers and will just believe things they're told... And then stick to it no matter what. I definitely treat those people differently for my own protection.

What are some examples? I want to know so I may or may not learn to avoid your usual treatment of belief-normatives and instead be treated with your non-normative belief conditioned self-"protection" process, ultimately because I may or may not view your preference for "critical[/oppressive] thinking" as both or neither or simultaneously predatory and oppressive, not to mention self-deluding.

You are obviously excusing your propensity to oppress and judge others through your irrational attachment to your beliefs that amount to nothing but false pattern recognition--or "apophenia". Your demonstrable beliefs make you weak to the clustering illusion and reveal your illusion of control bias. Pareidolia leads you to tap into your capacity to focus and directs it into protecting yourself from "[non-]critical[/non-oppressive] thinkers", wasting your focus.

Yes, you can imagine, and yes you are right, but you are also more wrong than you may know. Your imagination is immaterial, your intuition however, is not. Regarding "small details to deduce incredible things"--don't take the quote so seriously... you are claim to know what the person quoited thinks ("but thinks the solar system will never...") ;) Every conscious being inherently groks interconnection. Your imagination is running your focus into a constipated mess, making you weak to FEAR where you feel the need to judge others based on their capacity to critically or oppressively think as a sort of protective mechanism.

It's YOU, not THEM, you think its THEM, because you don't recognize it's YOU that are losing focus IMAGINING it is THEM. You are attempting to protect yourself by giving preferential treatment to others, when really it's your own run away imagination and your attachment to it combined with the error of attributing the lack of awareness of the focus sink onto the actual non objects of your imagination (i.e. you are mistaking the finger for the moon).
I am curious how they tackle safety issues within the coop. Uber, Lyft, and other big players have teams of engineers improving the safety of the platform (e.g. banning duplicate accounts of bad actors, banning people from re-creating accounts, identifying and removing fraud).

I'm skeptical that the team behind the drivers.coop could deliver a fair and scalable safe service for both the riders and drivers.

For example:

1. Uber verifies drivers have face masks before starting shifts with ML.

2. Some/all companies have ML route deviation algorithms to warn the passenger if the driver is not following the correct route.

3. Toxic language detection. Rideshare companies want to flag drivers and passengers that are not communicating nicely.

4. Crash detection. If the phone detects a crash, the ride share company can automatically connect them with emergency operates to ensure everyone is ok.

I tried to set up YaCy [1] at home to index a few of may favorite smaller websites, so I could quickly search just them. That turned out to be a bad idea. Some ended up blocking my home IP address and others reported me to my ISP. None of these sites were that large, and I wasn't continuously crawling them...

In Japanese, 'Jyozu', the word for "good at doing ___", is the same as the word for "likes to do ___". I think the idea that these two distinct English concepts are in fact the same is very interesting.

Perhaps a significant effect is that people with deep expertise tend to be much more passionate about their job, because without passion they could not have developed deep expertise.
You must not be familiar with tipping. Tipping always happens to people with no power. Bribery happens to people with power. Nothing bad will happen to me if I never tip (other than perhaps bad karma and some dirty looks). Very bad things can happen to me if I done give bribes. Tipping happens after the service and payment are completed. Bribing happens beforehand. The two are so entirely different on almost every level (especially the power dynamics).
Anecdotes from the US:

1) When I moved a couple of years ago, I discovered that the deed to our house had a typo. It defined the property we owned by referencing a map, which was on file with the County Register of Deeds. Except, when the deed cited the map, it mis-typed the page number the map was supposed to be on such that it referenced the map for a totally different property. The prior owner's deed had the same typo, back a couple of generations. The sale nearly fell through as the buyer's lawyer argued that it would be risky for them to buy the property given the typo and that a title insurance company might even refuse to insure the sale over the issue (not sure how much of that was real vs. theatrics). In the end, our lawyer tracked down an owner several generations prior in another part of the state, and sent a paralegal to his current house to have him sign new paperwork clearing the matter up.

2) A while back, I got a little too interested in the history of a local state park, which was a farming community before it was a park. I found some of the original deeds where the property was sold from the original farmers to the US Federal Government, and then to the State. The deeds defined the property by saying things like "beginning at a holly bush on the bank of Crabtree Creek, and extending for 500 yards north to a rock." A holly bush? Which holly bush? What about when it dies or somebody cuts it down? Which rock? The woods are full of rocks! In a world of Google Maps and GPS, it's wild to think that land used to be bought and sold this way, which apparently worked well enough for the time.
I'm not sure how that leaves room for "periodically get differeing raises" ?

If salaries are '100% based on merit', then salaries will eventually differ because merit differs. Unless there's some alternate definition of '100%' I'm unfamiliar with.
Have you seen Amazon's video ads? They come off with a very similar tone, and only in text. I wouldn't doubt that tweet would be approved based on their current marketing strategies.
Well, if you wanted multiple dbm files or hash tables or whatever, it was easy enough to run multiple processes. Unix processes on the PDP-11 could only address 64 KiB of memory—PDP-11 addresses are 16-bit, and C strongly encourages a von Neumann model where your program and data are in the same address space, so you couldn't even use 64 KiB for your program and another 64 KiB for your data, though the PDP-11 hardware was capable of doing this. (On things like the AVR, this is handled by copying your data into RAM at startup unless you mark it PROGMEM, in which case you can't pass pointers to it to ordinary functions. PDP-11 Unix didn't have anything like this.)

As long as you don't have multiple threads (and you shouldn't, and on Unix you couldn't) the static-variable interface in these cases was usually more convenient, though more bug-prone.

There's also a micro-efficiency question.

Global variables are at a known memory address. If you put them in a struct and pass around a pointer to it, they are at a dynamically computed memory address. Every time you want to access them, you have to add the field offset to the struct's base pointer. This is a small amount of extra computation, and how much it actually costs you depends on the hardware—on the 8080 it's a mess that probably requires you to spill a couple of registers onto the stack, and on modern implementations of amd64 like the ones from Intel, it probably takes literally zero extra time, because you probably aren't keeping all of your addition-capable functional units busy anyway.

I don't know the PDP-11's instruction set well enough to say, but I suspect the cost of such indexed addressing was intermediate between these extremes: much like the 8086, it had an "index" addressing mode, mode 6, which added an immediate 16-bit offset to a base register https://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~dsb/PDP11/AddrModes.html, and it doesn't seem to have had a pure immediate addressing mode where the address of the variable is just an immediate word without any indexing. But if you didn't need a base register for your variables, you could use PC-relative addressing, thus saving a register and decreasing register pressure (the PDP-11 only had 8 general-purpose registers, and one of them was PC, so it really only had 7).

I don't have any idea what actual PDP-11 compilers did, though, and that matters a lot here.
Aircraft carriers at sea are harder to sink than you think, and the ocean is big enough that you probably couldn't find them either.

If you don't see how https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26591334 is coming into the thread with guns blazing (I mean rhetorically, of course), I'm not sure what else to say, other than please try to imagine yourself into the position of whoever you're condemning and ask yourself if that's likely to help or make things worse. When you do this, you're rating the venting of your own frustration higher than anything or anyone else in the discussion. That's a contradiction. The opinion content of your posts is about defending the vulnerable, but your action in the thread is to hurt people who are present and be selfish towards them.

One of my teachers was a wise man who, sadly for those who knew him, died recently. In the last conversation I got to have with him, he said something I found incredible: "The connection is more important than the content." I've been repeating that to myself for a few months now: The connection is more important than the content. The connection is more important than the content. If nothing else that I'm saying makes sense, maybe try pondering that.
I think a big difference between build machines and dev machines, at least in principle, is that you can lock down the network access of the build machine, whereas developers are going to want to access arbitrary sites on the internet.

A build machine may need to download software dependencies, but ideally those would come from an internal mirror/cache of packages, which should be not just more secure but also quicker and more resilient to network failures.
Love to see this.

As an aside, it always jars me when a site hijacks default browser scrolling functionality. In my experience, making it as fast as possible is a _far_ better use of dev resources than figuring out how to make scrolling unique (no matter what the marketing department says).
"Among the many friends the entrepreneur made over his life, some said the cause of his death had spanned many months, in plain sight to those who surrounded him. Last summer, his Park City companions hired an on-call doctor. Unless Mr. Hsieh moderated his drug and alcohol use, the doctor said, he would die within six months."

It's one thing to overly indulge a billionaire friend, it's another to endanger his physical/mental well being to the point of death.

Wow, thanks, I did not know that. Though that would be a kinda crazy platform or implementation! I'm betting that a lot of people depend on this.
Part of the problem is that developing and maintaining these applications is expensive. Not just the technical part, but also all the operations (all the customer care and lawyers and mapping and...)

Uber and Lyft are still losing money, VCs are pumping capital there daily. How can driver coop survive? Where do they take the money for all that?

I wish them good luck, but I also don’t think they will succeed against Masa Son deep pockets.
I wonder if part of this includes a possible correlation between deep expertise and enthusiasm/passion for the subject matter, which is passed on throughout the team.
iirc memcached either uses or used to use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_hashing to avoid rehashing induced pauses. it definitely makes sense for that use case but you're correct that it's not the right call for a general purpose hash table implementation.

How feasible would it be to store all that data on a decentralized system like IPFS or Sia-Skynet etc, instead of Amazon, to add further meaning to the cause?
Every state in the US keeps property records for tax purposes. Official surveys are often dine when bought and sold. Title insurance companies are strict about these things and mortgage companies require title insurance. It's all tightly regulated and you can look up online the exact boundaries of your property.

I use pinata to pin an ipfs hash and then a public gateway (currently using cloudflare). It's free and a fun programming assignment to script the pinata and DNS APIs so that I can update my site.
But you don’t have to tip. Other than maybe dirty looks absolutely nothing will happen if you don’t tip. The ones being tipped are totally powerless. They are society’s poor. It is closer to a voluntary socialist tax to help the poor than any kind of bribery to officials in a place of power.

I would equate his confinement with torture. However I don't think we should reward him for suffering through a punishment he granted himself.

When a person like this gets ted talks and photoshoots I think we've gone too far. The man has used his crime to turn himself into a brand
Exactly. The fact that given the level of evil China is carrying out and has been for decades, the fact that the rest of the world hasn't decided to wipe out the CCP, or at the very least fully embargo China can only be seen as a massive branding success. All those Confucius Institutions embedded in the US university system are doing wonders for China.
> you’ll just keep getting harder and harder questions from the interviewer.

Well, there is a counter strategy that works even in this situation.

The counter strategy would be to just know way more interview questions than the interviewer, and know the answer to every question that they have, so that they run out!

When I was full time applying for jobs, a couple years ago, it got to the point with me. It turns out that people interviewing others, only have a couple questions that they use for interviews, and it is not that hard to know all of them.
Yeah. I used to know someone who worked at a call center once. The onboard training was like 40+ hours. They had a problem with people who only got hired so they could be paid to watch videos before quitting on the first day, but there wasn’t anything they could do about it.

Right, I don't understand the claims that COVID proved how fragile the global supply chain/capitalism have made our civilization. Despite lockdowns, millions of people getting sick and dying, and widespread panic, the food and goods never stopped moving. The interconnectedness makes us stronger, as we're able to marshal the resources of a global civilization to compensate for issues as they arise.
because 6 months from now I won't have 'tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdaX' memorized, especially in a panic'ed state.

The profit in speculation comes from correctly recognizing that a good will be worth more if consumed in the future than it would be if consumed in the present. It can be annoying to those who would have preferred to use the good in the present and are unable to afford the anticipated future prices, but in the end society benefits by having the good still available in the future for the more valuable use.

Which we know effectively doesn't matter: it's essentially only a gain for pure CJK text being stored at rest, because otherwise the waste on ASCII will more than compensate for the gain.
Th nytimes had an article about a 13 year old that shot (but not killed) someone, and subsequently spent 18 years in solitary confinement. The article made me so mad I ha to stop reading, truly horrifying this happened.

The problem is what if we have a war and the other guy decided to bankrupt his country to afford the war, while decided we couldn't afford it and so didn't build as much. The end result is we lose the war and have to pay off the debt of the other country.

There is no good answer once war is on the table. Keeping war off the table should be everyone's priority, but unfortunately it only takes one evil dictator to force you into war, so peace isn't always possible.

> A senior developer should be able to explore the UI and figure out a goal, then establish a plan for accomplishing that goal.

I'm confounded on why the author thinks being a senior developer (say, in embedded systems) would make someone better at exploring a game UI compared to an intern-candidate who puts 20+ hours into gaming per week...

I would probably walk out of the interview if someone suggested I play factorio as part of the hiring process - I have been intentionally avoiding it - you might as well offer me a free hit of crack cocaine while you're at it.
Well the DOM is basically an OO model. If you are going to have a retained mode UI it's basically going to look like an OO model.

I can't recommend this series enough. Most accidents are described in plain language in a page or two with a concise analysis at the end. From one analysis of people hurt in an ice avalanche: "if it looks like it is going to fall it is probably going to fall."

You learn a lot of interesting facts you might never otherwise find out. In the above example, the avalanche was so powerful it generated an air blast in front of the debris that ejected sleeping campers out of their tents below.

The authors also have a low-key sense of humor and a subdued flair for language. This series is where I learned the phrase "injuries incompatible with life," as in, "Rescuers spotted the missing climbers from a helicopter the next day but saw that they had sustained injuries incompatible with life." It really puts a failed git rebase in perspective.
As a (white) conservative I have no problem with private foundations doling out funds based on race. But they should distribute the funds directly to the recipients because government should not engage in racial discrimination.
