I had an ipsilateral recurrent DVT in my left leg. Kaiser failed on so many levels: at the ER I should've been treated with some kind of thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy, but was only offered Lovenox and Pradaxa. The internal medicine physician I had failed to refer me to a specialist for follow up, and without care and investigation, I developed post thrombotic syndrome in that leg, which means I spend the rest of my life in some degree of pain with the possibility of developing ulcers.

The specialist I went to see at Stanford, Lawrence Hofmann, was very clear that had I presented within the first two weeks, he could have simply removed the clot, but since I saw him 5 months after the event, the thrombus was chronic and wouldn't respond to treatment.

In the end, I had to leave the USA and get a proper diagnosis by surgeons in Italy: turns out I had a congenital compression of my left iliac vein which was causing the clotting and a stent was placed to open the vein.
nice to see everything in one place with short example code. Specially helpful for those still using Java 8 and looking to upgrade, Java 17 will be a LTS so that will be a good opportunity to upgrade.
So, picking a few religious-themed keywords out of a hat, and using this + non programming interests as a strawman basis to attack the whole language as designed by 'religious fanaticism' ? If I have to pick the 'superstitious' side, it would be the side of this argument.

This isn't 'Temple OS'. By this line of reasoning we should all only use strongly-typed FP since it's the only 'rational enough' language family.
The whole world economy relies on 3 countries in balistic rocket range of each other; not great. Having foundries distributed around the world sounds way more resilient to any conflicts or disasters that might arise in that particular region.
Wrong.

Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, … are (essentially) open plan.

My experience at google was the cube walls not even being tall enough to do anything when you were sitting.

As blindingly obvious as this is, I've never seen it put quite so concisely. Fantastic. I could've cut short so many bullshit discussions this way

It surprises me that people put more attention to the author than to the content. I have no idea who the author is, but his post doesn't seem to me toxic at all nor dogmatic.

On the other hand, your comment sounds a bit toxic, to be honest: "because the author is X it must be that all of his articles are X as well".
When you realize threading was added on late in the game with Unix, this is hardly surprising. Unix is process oriented.
One of the primary features I'm holding out hope for eventually making it into the language is ValueTypes: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jrose/values/values-0.html and the current Valhalla Project: https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/valhalla/Main

The simplest example of why this would be valuable (edit: this was not an intentional pun), the Optional type could become stack based, such that you could ensure that the variable referring to the Optional type is never null. This would help reduce a common class of bugs in Java code stemming from NPE's.
Its a toxic, anti-enlightenment culture, if any question or request for information is perceived as a attack on the self-worth of the author of that piece of information. I think at the root of this perfectionism, are loads of damaged individuals, whos whole identity and self-worth is defined via their work, their code, their child of mind.

There are so many of these, that they can become a culture majority and bring whole projects to a stop. When i encounter these, i tend to isolate them, link up with other reasonable people (who usually also work around them. If they have grown to powerful, you build two versions, one with their "architecture" (which they will inevitable grab and sink years of time into) and one that will be actually shipped, as a emergency solution.

If discussion is not possible, double the project estimate, cause there are two now.
That is a point, but it's not a point that matters. It's no different then saying "oh, but browser pixels eventually resolve down to physical screen pixels, so it's the same thing."

The problem here isn't whether or not font size eventually at some point in the browser is getting set to pixels -- it's who sets it. Is the browser setting it? Is the user? And is your layout equipped to handle it when it changes?

Depends on how much you value money.
As someone who began programming in undergrad, Java was the university's language of choice for the "introduction to programming" course. My first internship was in Java SE 6 and part of the big debate for that summer was when to move to 7.

I haven't used it since but I'm glad to see it's gotten the more modern language features that make writing and reading code much easier. Without this list, I probably would never have learned this so thanks

When I had a Nokia N900, I programmed on the device all the time. Nothing especially big, of course, but the traditional-Linux environment and physical keyboard on that phone allowed you to quickly knock out a small shell or Python script if you had some task you wanted to automate.
I'm also going to make a pretty big assumption, which is that a lot of people using mailing tools that give them stats such as MailChimp do not think about how privacy settings affect their metrics. If I have images disabled by default I will almost certainly never show up in an "opened" metric.

Images off by default is becoming more common.
I think Liu is trying to dismiss the west’s concerns on the only basis that he can: the short term economics. In reality there is a more important strategic priority at the core of these initiatives, but that’s a whole lot harder to play down.

> Scientific progress has and will always win

I wish I could share this optimism, but one thing we've seen in the last year is that people will put themselves and others at risk as part of tribal signaling: "humans are motivated reasoners who alter their thinking, feeling, and behaving when thinking, feeling, and behaving in certain ways might upset their peers."[0]

Maybe I'm reading your statement in a different way than you intend it. The science itself is good, but if society isn't leveraging that knowledge for our own betterment, is science winning?

"the growing influence of US-style identity politics."

Somewhat ironic but also dystopian that something that was born out of US intelligence agencies (identity politics) is now infecting the world.

I agree with you. Removing anything off-chain from the conversation, we're left with the equivalent of selling a million pixels on a web page (but at least there was some utility to that, in the form of advertising).
Do you mean Google Safe Browsing? If so, it looks like the URLs are hashed which preserves some privacy. So if you hit an unsafe URL, you can assume that the folks maintaining the list would know which URL you actually hit, but otherwise you're just sending a hash.

> sometimes, you need to stand up for yourself in a conflict.

Then you just get fired. They’ll just replace you with someone else who’ll listen. Some people just don’t learn no matter how hard you try.
You sound like me there buddy. Blue collar upbringing and got into tech. The culture shock is weird and off putting. Never seem to fit in either I take it? You have the leg up on me with that whole college thing.

I cant advocate for sticking around salarymen. Never worked for me. Maybe for you with some changes, but that's beyond me.

My advice, quit "freelancing" and start "contracting". Pretty much, start a firm. It's a bigger mental shift than you may expect. This is how you get the bigger projects and big career gains. You find a lot of interesting and good relationships in the business that way. Also, there are a lot more blue collar types who own/run mid to large companies than you might imagine. I was surprised for sure, I can say that much at least.

If you dont want to take that big of a step, try partnering with complimentary firms as a contractor. I used to work with 2 different design firms along with a few small clients of my own. Approach them casually about what you can offer and if a project arises, you'll be glad to give a quote.

Last thing that worked for me, but I didnt pursue as much as I should have was independent products. Build your own software or some product to sell. It does become a job in it's own right, but it's on your terms, not someone elses.

Essentially, I dont think you'll be happy trying to identify as a salaryman programmer, which is what the industry is forcing you into. Your job doesn't define you, which is good, but you're in the wrong positioning if you think working for someone else will agree with your philosophy. You need to start striking out on your own and do you're own thing to find any form of life work balance.

What also helps, do dev outside of the tech industry. Buddy and I got into concrete and I'm the tech and research side of the company. I'm happy with what I do and know very well I'd be miserable in the tech industry, because I already tried it.
Share the Responsibility to Avoid a Data Breach
Semi is oil now, there's more strategic/geopolitical considerations than supply/demand curve. US/EU/CN do not want Taiwan to have semi dominance, it's not in anyone's interest. Current TSMC position is happenstance due to poor industrial policies that countries are scrambling to address. IMO press releases and capex spending around Arizona announcement suggest TSMC wasn't prepared to built US fab, let alone 6. US pressured them, EU failed to. There's a good chance TSMC/Taiwan will try to delay their silicon shield evaporating for as long as they can. Probably not a coincidence big ticket US weapons sales are scheduled around when fabs would be up. Future will be priority sourcing from domestic fabs, let TSMC whither, by design.
dividendfinance.com | Software Engineer (mid/senior levels) | FULL-TIME | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE/REMOTE US only | commensurate with experience

Dividend Finance is helping homeowners install solar panels and taking advantage of the 26% U.S federal tax credit. We also lend for home improvement projects.

We have open positions for mid and senior Clojure/Clojurescript developers to help build web applications and APIs used by our installers and employees.

Our stack includes a Clojure web app deployed on Heroku with Clojurescript, Postgresql, Github, Box, Docusign, and Salesforce. We have a small team (~12 devs), so you will have a big impact and get the opportunity to wear a lot of hats including (code implementation, architecture, product features, UX design, development lifecycle, testing). You will be responsible for influencing our tools and processes in addition to delivering features.

Our mission is to maximize solar energy usage with a frictionless financing process. We have over 1000 installers signed up and have financed 45,000+ installations.

The ideal candidate can not only write code, but has a proven track record of working with product to turn ideas into designs and work with the team to implement and deploy them as well as provide feedback on designs and implementations of others.

We have an office in San Francisco located on California @ Sansome, close to Montgomery BART, most developers have always been remote, but SF Bay Area based developers have been working remotely since mid-March.

You would join a team of 12 developers spread across 4 timezones (all permanently remote now) that is split in to 4 scrum teams. Our development process is very collaborative with our product team along with the other developers, so communication skills are important. Successful developers are eager to learn the business domain and have a hand in the design and implementation of features, not just programming to a specification.

The interview process consists of four 1 hour interviews (all through video) with members of our technology and product teams. One interview will have some small technical problems, but it is open note with your REPL running.

Unfortunately we are limited to candidates that are authorized to work in the U.S.

This is precisely how I setup my utilities. I have found following practices useful:

1. Print the path of the system and user level configurations that the utility honours in the help text (-h/-?)

2. For an option that can be set interactively or via environment variable, specify the environment variable name in the help text itself to provide maximum choice to the user.

3. Provide a -viewconfig option that prints out the final resolved configuration state so that the user can see the actual configuration that is in effect. Combined with a -dryrun option, this can provide a lot of confidence to the user to try out things without breaking anything.

I think Intel will do a good job of it. They have no choice if they get this expansion wrong they are done.

My expectations for Europe though, are sadly much lower.
Take a look at what's been happening in US Treasuries. Yields have been dropping for the last 40 years. Investors have still been happy with their returns because they make up for low yields with increasing prices on those bonds (bond prices and yields are inversely relational).

But, now that US treasury prices have reached their peak (yields can not possibly go lower), it's game over for US treasuries. this is playing out in other bond markets as well too. So, everyone is dumping bonds: see article "Why would anyone hold bonds?", it was shared on hacker news a few weeks ago.

Listen to just about any financial professional speak about bonds: they wouldn't "touch it with a 10' pole", is what you hear more often than not. Especially in the inflationary environment we're in now. Governments everywhere across the globe are up to their eyeballs in debt. the only way out is inflation - they've all realized this. you can't raise taxes, you cant decrease spending. you can only inflate your way out of the debt.

so, basically 100T worth of bonds, a very significant percentage of global assets, is being sold off. And it can't go into cash. So where's it going? Well, equities for the most part, hence the relentless rise of equity markets. but also, other places too like bitcoin because people need some diversification, which used to be served by bonds. In the past, investors recommended 60/40 equity bonds mix. in the future, maybe it's 60/40 equity/commodities/crypto.

Hmm, that has not been my experience with Lineage at all. Over the last couple of years I have flashed several devices with Lineage and it has always worked almost seamlessly. Maybe the difference is that these devices have mostly just been popular Nexus/Pixel with official builds. (Except for my Nexus 7 where I flashed an unofficial build since Lineage no longer official supports the greatest tablet ever made shakes fist angrily)
I would like this to put statistically. Out of 40 students in my class (1990s), no one aspired to be an IAS or IPS. There could be two reasons. (1) They didn't want to be corrupt, OR (2) They might be thinking it is beyond their intellectual reach.

Further, I was brought up in a public sector township. All the families were having one Govt job. Still only a few (1 or 2) wanted to join a govt service.

I don't want to generalize anything. Because the sample set is too small. But just want to bring a perspective. If you have seen something like 15 out of 40 wanting to become an IAS officer just to get bribed then please put the figures. This is specifically for @Kamaal.

Hi, I’m Thomas and I’m VP Engineering at 98point6. We’re hiring for a number of roles, like Senior iOS Engineer, Senior Android Engineer, Engineering Manager, Senior Analytics Engineer and Back End Engineer. Our goal is to make access to primary care as easy as googling something, without needing to make a financial tradeoff. We were seeing exciting growth before COVID-19 and that growth has accelerated even more as we help support the response to this global pandemic in the US. Some quick mentions of the technology we’re using: all our infra is in AWS, IaC using CDK and some Terraform, Typescript, Kotlin, Swift, Rust, DynamoDB, and PostgreSQL. We are offering roles as REMOTE or ONSITE. Remote must be based in the US. Onsite is in Seattle. Looking forward to hearing from you!

It's been a theory of mine that US intelligence agencies are involved in pushing identity politics as well, but I haven't seen hard evidence. Do you have any articles or other links?
I wonder if us legacy J&J users will be able to get a second dose at some point.
very beautifully put together.

In fact, they should start with Java 5!

Even in 2021, I see code bases (and devs) who dont know/use generics!
I have never heard this claim that it was born out of intelligence agencies.

Can i get some sources on this?
It's "are we", not "We are". The op-ed (not article) does not make that conclusion.
No, it's a fine choice. If you can use it with those nails, then most people can use it. And with long acrylics, where there's a will, there's usually a way.
Thanks for pointing Metabase out. Unfortunately, while great for analytics, I'm really more focused on data input.
Which is a fair question, and a fair way to raise it.

Calling the standard answer infantile was where I took issue.

Assuming your question wasn't rhetorical--in the hypothetical scenario you described based on today's info, I would opt for J&J,

1) as a matter of convenience

2) The technology behind J&J is more mature
It's a comparison between two control groups and the amount that were infected.

X - vaccine - 25 people get it
Y - no vaccine - 250 people get it

That would mean it's 1 - 25/250 * 100 = 90% effective.
The economic feasibility arguments presume an inability to expand the Port of Eilat any further than the current, extremely narrow border that Israel holds with the Red Sea. Presumably any serious contender with Suez would be a joint effort with the Jordanians at Aqaba, possibly with the Saudis as well at Haql (i.e. focus on building a canal along the Israeli/Jordanian border, and build an oil pipeline terminal starting at Haql, for sheer lack of room otherwise).

While the Negev terrain is uneven, it's also sparsely populated. The land is mostly either nature preserve or reserved for military training. Most of the debate would involve who would be on the hook for the cost of construction, as well as how best to balance the canal route vs. pre-existing nature reserves.
I've recently started developing unix tools with config passed entirely as arguments with a special argument called `--args-file` which takes a file or stdin and reads one arg per line.

This is of course nothing new, but such a powerful pattern:

- It lets you run things without the need for a config file (when testing/running interactively)

- but on the other hand, you can still define arguments saved in a file for more permanent setups.

- `--help` ends up providing all the doc needed to configure the tool.

- It's less magical than env vars and doesn't leak into subprocesses by mistake.

One pragmatic step further is to expand env vars using the shell `${VAR}` syntax for slightly more flexibility.
