Totally. If I retired early I'd still want to work on something. I was thinking the other day what I'd like my next job to be and it involves taking a pay cut, working on something meaningful where I can explore new things, work at my own pace (not exactly a lesser workload but when I want to), and having nothing to do with nonsense corporate structure and culture. Yes, startups are dogmatic in their own ways and would avoid those. Why am I still taking jobs like this from time to time? Because I didn't get there, I can't afford the pay cut yet. Wish me luck.
FWIW the creator of the Effect pattern has some pretty deep reservations about Elm (http://reasonableapproximation.net/2019/10/20/the-effect-pat...). His reservations end up being the same ones that get hashed out all the time over HN (JS interop and the development model).

Twitter rarely “censors” anything. There are countless examples of people getting multiple death threats and Twitter just blowing it off. Female journalists are frequently targeted with rape and death threats for posting things which are only moderately controversial and Twitter waves it off “this isn’t a violation of Twitter policy”.

The people who were blocked at all were generally repeat offenders.

I use yadm (https://yadm.io/), and like it for dealing with multiple systems because of it's alternates system (https://yadm.io/docs/alternates#). It's git based, and works on various systems (your list is covered).

edit: Note if you're on Debian stable, the current package is 1.x. At this point testing has moved on to 3.x. It's probably worth going straight to 3.x to avoid reworking alternates and dealing with other changes. The testing/unstable package is easy to backport (look up simple sid backport).
Yes, it's a regional thing there. You can confirm with google, though. Search for places with the name "deli" in it in the northeast US. You'll see most of them serve pastrami and corned beef sandwiches.
Wow, you're right: I knew FSD was supposedly in beta & talked about, but now they're marketing it in those terms on their front page for the Model S. I wasn't aware they'd proceeded from calling it autopilot to FSD, and autopilot was bad enough.

Yes, it's therefore at least somewhat reasonable for someone to think they didn't need to be in the drivers seat. Although in this case it doesn't look like FSD was installed or activated on the car, if they're marketing it as a feature then sometimes even reasonable people will be confused and believe they have that option.
Tangent:

Does anyone ever intentionally NOT copy and paste, even from their own code?

I usually copy/paste, but sometimes I'm inclined to type it out again because it's just... It's just really satisfying.

It's like a ballet move or a really graceful hockey play. I find the act of physically typing out some code to be graceful and elegant and just so darn satisfying.
I still find Kamina's repeated urging for Simon to "believe in the me that believes in you" to be something really compelling. The exact wording is a little awkward and stilted - translations almost always are - but the sentiment is gold, especially for the teenage audience this kind of stuff tends to attract.

Sure, you don't believe in yourself. You tear yourself down all the time. But you also believe in your best friend, you think the world of him, and here's your best friend saying he believes in you.
For those viewing this in the future after this has (hopefully) been fixed, it's one user spamming comments with exactly the slur you'd expect a dozen times.

> They don't want to ever end, and they do not want to tell a story, they want to make more episodes.

For the opposite experience, have a look at UK dramas. They're often mini-series with as few as 6 episodes, well defined story and aren't afraid to try new stuff.

For example "Behind her eyes" (not a cartoon) is a recent good one. (don't be deceived by the first episode, it's not as simple as it seems)
I bought all the PDP-11 items listed on eBay around 15 years ago, so I was nodding in agreement. And yet: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Digital-DEC-PDP-11-05-with-RK05-dis...
In the UK some supermarkets (as in, some branches of some chains) do have what you might call 'a deli counter', but that isn't what I mean.

Stand-alone delicatessens here tend to be only barely 'a restaurant' (even then more 'only barely a café', really) with one or two tables for two. They sell cheeses, biscuits, olives, other antipasti, pickles, perhaps some select nice sandwiches or bruschetta, etc. Some sell probably higher margin items like boxed teas, coffees, and biscuits, related merchandise like cafetières, cotton bags, and tea strainers.

They are decidedly not 'diner' type venues, the place linked on Google Maps would be called a café in the UK.

(To be clear I'm not saying anything's right or wrong, just that it's interesting, terminology, and something that's very loosely the same but also really different.)
I have been applying the lessons to from - https://takesmartnotes.com/

Specifically, the notion of reading with a pen in hand for making “fleeting notes” as I read, then returning to those (shortly thereafter) to rewrite the information in my own words into single-idea “permanent notes”.
Is there a word or a phrase for this phenomenon? When something becomes a habit requiring no thought at all and then, when forced to actually think about it, the brain draws a complete blank?
As a slightly opposing take, Django has the highest-quality and most comprehensive documentation I've ever seen for a web framework... Or open source project, for that matter.

Don't you have to be above a certain score or something to upvote?

E: I am sorry, you mentioned that but I dived into a reply so fast I missed it. Aye the karma thing they have there really discourages (or at least it did for me) participation. I'm working on the thing that brought me to SO in the first place I'm not spending time building up karma on a dying website to upvote haha.
Why is it an either-or choice? I want a candidate who can problem solve, apply critical thinking, and write code.

I never said that coding was the only part of the interview - I asked how would you collect data about the candidate's coding skills.
I also use stack overflow very little but I think it’s much more easily explained by my personal habits than changes on the site.

When I used stack overflow more, I was doing stuff with web technologies and Unix command line tools. These days I’m much more experienced with Unix tools; I use more specialised tools that aren’t mentioned on SO, use a programming language which isn’t often mentioned on SO, and a large array of libraries which are even less frequently mentioned there. I’m also generally better at finding my own way around—digging through code, jumping to definitions, looking up errors. I think the reason I don’t use it so much is that it is less useful because it doesn’t have the answers I care about and because I have fewer questions for it to answer.

Counterpoint- this feeling, while it makes you miserable, might actually be adaptive if all the "high performers" you know express feeling it.

The desire to honestly face your progress, judge it as wanting and then do something about it is necessary for improvement. The author is correct that wallowing doesn't help, but it's possible that the guilt that prevents you from excusing yourself will also keep you on track.

Can we just get away from the otaku-pandering JRPG fantasy world archetype, already? I feel like Konosuba and Re-Zero should have ruined the premise for all time. I know the Japanese love them some Dragon Quest but enough is enough.
> FTP does not play well with the current way the web is set up. Any firewalling or NAT is a pain unless you have the firewall introspect the FTP commands,

That is true only for active mode FTP. Firefox (and many other clients) already used passive mode FTP by default, which passes through NATs and firewalls just fine without need for special help.
I try not to copy & paste if the pasted version needs slight variations. Too often I miss one and waste time debugging. So I try to retype in those situations.
This isn't a great comparison. The only people that need to read (and know how to read) code are coders. A non-coder can't criticize code.

This is not the same for UX (or restaurants, films or cars from my other example) as these are things that everyone interacts with and understands to some extent despite not doing so in a professional capacity.
Coding questions evaluate your ability to code, which is a significant part of most software engineering roles.

There are other questions I ask to evaluate other skills, but I wanted to know how to collect data about coding skills without asking such leetcode questions.

Yes, it gets more secure as you add more requirements. Let's mandate that last character is a digit larger than 1, but smaller than 3. Also, the password must be exactly 7 characters long, and the first 6 characters must spell out a class in WoW, lowercased.
Stoplight is probably the best tool to get started with something like that.
>> Any traffic incident here always involve two people who failed to comply with traffic laws.

> Are you sure about that?

There are at least single vehicle incidents which do not involve two people. Over cooking a corner and spearing off into the scenery is just one person fucking up.

But I agree with the thrust of the GPs argument, in any two (or more) vehicle incident, there was probably one party who “caused” it, and another party who should have avoided it. Not _every_ incident, but I’d argue that it applies to the vast majority of multiple vehicle incidents.
If you are talking about

>Small investors who get sucked into these situations are likely to be harmed eventually, yet the regulators – who are supposed to be protecting investors – appear to be neither present nor curious.

then you are incorrectly attributing that to Matt. It was a quote from Einhorn’s Greenlight Capital.
> Cash with depreciation or expiration (both preannounced and ad hoc) has been used before

Yes, if you changed the cash we're talking about, pounds sterling, it would be different.

> CBDC doesn’t meaningfully change the politics

Remember a few years ago, when IT would talk about getting long-needed projects greenly because they slapped "blockchain" on the proposal?Expiring cash is toxic. CBDC is not. Branding matters.
I’m ok with Twitter blocking people who are ciculating lies that are prolonging the virus which has fucked our economy and killed millions of people.

Conspiracy theories about viruses are literally killing people. I’d file that right in the category of shouting fire in a crowded theater.
I think the parent to your post was asking why only loggers in Maine were noted with this condition. Logging exists elsewhere in areas vastly larger than Maine, but this condition was localised to that vicinity.

> If I were looking to hire someone and read this, I would immediately be turned off. Why? Because part of being an engineer (or any employee really) is doing a bunch of stuff people don't enjoy doing. This includes:

[...list of things that, as an engineer, I enjoy all of, as long as I’m engaged with the project, and none of which conflict necessarily with OPs requirements...]

Sounds like you just read your own stereotype of engineers ans what they like into that.

> You don't factor in the time cost of me or my team in onboarding you, dealing with you, dealing with your code and so on.

Well, no, nor does he factor in the potential value of his work on the other side, either. He offers to do an interview and let you, as the hiring party, factor those things in by setting a pay scale, for which the only up-front limits he proposes is that the hourly rate must be positive. Typically, that’s how factoring in value and overhead works in hiring, the hiring party, not the hired party figures them in and decides if and at what rate to make an offer.
Don’t compare yourself to others, compare to your own goals. If you need inspiration to even form a goal, then look towards others.

There is no need to compare yourself to the 26 year old billionaire, just like it was never relevant for the 26 year old billionaire to compare themselves to the general population. If your goal looks the same as their outcome, then benchmark yourself and be disappointed if its not working out. If not, then don’t.
Most anime is nothing more than advertisements for the manga anyway. That's why most of it never gets a second season.

great idea, remove the thumbnails, they serve no purpose. If you want a thumbnail, make it topic related. So like a politics/legislation thumbnail, new product thumbnail, etc that way it is easy to determine what the story relates too. I guess it'd be equivalent to flair on reddit

Halfway though I was thinking "this sounds quite a bit like Matt Levine's writing", then looked and realized it was. I had forgotten he moved orgs.
The issue with Big Tech is that:
(1) They can't be sued (read: your case would be dismissed) for any of their decisions, because of Section 230.
(2) They are also not a common carrier, and not subject to those restrictions.

Essentially they get many of the benefits of being a common carrier, but without being a common carrier and having the associated obligations.

That's the difference between Big Tech and bakeries. Big Tech could literally object to all LGBT content on their platform and because of Section 230, your case would be dismissed.

Bakeries don't have anywhere near the amount of freedom as Big Tech enjoys from Section 230.
Most of the people I know use some kind password they can derive if they forget it. Like their password for Company A will be the city the company was founded, city the founder was born, and the month/day it was founded. The ones who have to change it because of policy pick something iterative, like the first line of a song, then the second, etc.
I was told long time ago that without being "insider" I will never get direct access to NYSE and will be able to make money by doing so, proved them wrong, while there is "insider club" in NYSE, to degree there same "insider club" for DARPA or any other enterprise/organizations.

I think interesting questions is; to what degree insider club introduces friction for new comers with justified novel proposals.
I'm greatly encouraged to try out Rust with Linux. I do wonder if I can do an out of tree kernel module to make my life easier developing. I know I could do this with ordinary kernel modules.
As a life-long liberal, I am fed-up with the NYT. Yellow cake bogus story to get us to invade Iraq. Bogus story of Russian bounties on US soldiers in Afghanistan (has been refuted by US intelligence agencies). They ran with the story that Officer Brian Sicknick died from being attacked by the January 6 mob, even when the officer's family almost immediately disputed the NYT stories.

Does the NYT just not care that they keep getting called out for bogus stories? I just looked at the NYT, and I saw no retraction from their previously incorrect stories on Officer Sicknick.

Free advice, so obviously feel free to ignore it: Democracy Now has a liberal and honest (as far as I can tell) approach to the news. BBC News and The Guardian are good also. Don't waste your time with NYT, MSNBC, and Fox - unless you enjoy living in a little fake bubble and like having your own biases just reflected back at you.
Confused, surely. To me that conflates contrived narrative with honesty. Reinforcing an overarching cohesive narrative comes at the expense of a true and coherrent one. The difference is that cohesion is necessarily consonant, where coherrence accepts dissonance in exchange for greater fidelity, or truth, the craft of actual reporting.

People (us) want what we can use, and sometimes indeed that's just a sense of actual shared community experience, but usually, it's more concrete. Like should I move my savings into a certain sector, my odds on finding a better job, should I sell my house now or wait, do I need to move to another state to get my kids a proper education, etc. This is what people use real reporting for. Journalists are not in posession of a bigger picture, and the ones who think they are believe so at the expense of their reporting.

Capital-M Media has become the inferior good, since as soon as people have alternatives, they switch away from it.
I've done it pretty often. Usually I paste the code into a Jupyter notebook (where I do all of my trial and error stuff), modify to suit my need, then add a comment with a link to the original page. I do this with anything that I glean from the Web.
The side windows in most cars can be broken easily with a punch tool. These really should be standard safety equipment in a known easily-reachable location (such as on the key fob).
Problem is when “your code” isn’t yours but your employers. Don’t get me wrong this is not a new problem, but you should be aware that simply linking the answer to a comment (esp in a closed source code base) isn’t sufficient

Instead of goals, go for habits.

You have to do the things you make habits of to get to your goals anyway.
Nah, the liberating army hands out Cokes at the end.
It's just as they say, "lies have short legs". The purpose of misinformation is not really to bury the truth forever, as the truth will eventually come out, but to achieve short term goals like getting a desired reaction from people, at which point you don't care anymore if the lie was exposed. Another relevant example is the Hunter story, where the media did a blackout and it was censored off Facebook and Twitter, but after the election they no longer cared and they just admitted it was true.

FOLLOW-UP: It occurs to me that, actually, plenty of humans could definitely clear my "higher bar." All you need to do is memorize a 64-character hex string, which is difficult but completely doable using a memory palace or similar technique.

Practically speaking, though, this isn't something that the average person is capable of doing. Even memorizing one hex string, let alone multiple (for each of your friends), requires a lot of effort for little benefit.

Furthermore -- if you can memorize the hex directly, you don't need the avatars in the first place! :P
There was a talk I saw some years ago of someone that analyzed enterprise passwords and the most common pattern they found was:

One thing to remember that large companies love things which they can point to if something goes wrong. PCI isn't regulation but it's widespread because the credit card companies require it. Depending on the industry you might also find CIS pretty common (https://www.cisecurity.org/) and the U.S. federal government space will mention STIG (https://public.cyber.mil/stigs/).

These are built into common assessment tools so you'll get identical policies down to things like byte-for-byte identical PAM module config because most places just licensed one of these tools and demanded everyone use it.
