I'm as big an Apple fan as they come but they've got some work to do in supporting their services.

My wife bought a subscription box with her Apple Card and somehow the subscription service assigned someone else's email address to her account and won't let her change it. For reasons I can't quite understand, that service sent her one box out of a six-box subscription so my wife called to dispute the charges with Apple Card. For a few months now she's bin in this Groundhog Day like cycle of them taking the money off the bill but then, after contacting the subscription service I assume, will put the money back on her bill until she calls to dispute it again.

Now, I know this is Goldman Sachs she's dealing with and not Apple but, it is called the "Apple Card" and I feel like Apple needs to step in and make Goldman Sachs do the right thing.
Same here. When I found out, I asked my manager for a raise but didn't get it so I resigned. When I did, he offered to raise my salary with 30%. Left anyway and was hired again at same company a few years later for 50% above my original salary. Still felt like I was originally tricked into a low salary.
That's true, would be interesting to see an "encoded entities per second" comparison. Or maybe a comparison with mostly stringy data where the size is probably comparable.
Plenty of companies that pay above market rate also hide salaries. I don’t know what the theory is (perhaps some attempt to not attract people only in it for the money, but really that just filters out the people who are in it for the money and lack the social network to know that the company pays well, which doesn’t seem better)
https://www.all4shooters.com/en/shooting/knives/Legislation-...
In the tech industry (for companies that employ at least several hundred engineers), we have https://levels.fyi which is far more helpful than having a firm salary range will ever be due to the prevalence of stock/bonuses in compensation packages which aren't usually included in legislated requirements.

Albeit the salary data on levels.fyi is far less authoritative than an official salary range in a job description.

Edit: Also for the larger tech companies, you can trivially see how much they pay their H1B visa holders in salaries, differentiated by company, title, location, and date. This site is unofficial, but it's a lot easier to use than the massive Excel files that the official data is provided as: https://h1bdata.info
Where do you find these pay scales?
I really wish there was a PE class for adult, where you stretch, run around the track, then play some random sport for about an hour. One day it's cops and robbers, another it's grass hockey, and nobody knows in advance.
I disagree that it’s overreaching. It improves the power dynamic and information asymmetry between employer and candidate/employee.
FBI Releases Documents Regarding 2016 Murder of DNC Staffer Seth Rich
Anyone can put an address in their DNS records, whether it's "theirs" or not. I have several records with 192.168.0.0/16 IPs. The DNS can be seen publicly but obviously they don't route. It's the same thing.

Other folks are definitely using those DoD addresses. For example, I see a bunch being announced by AS23352 / Server Central: https://bgp.he.net/AS23352#_prefixes
My employer tries to keep salary ranges secret even internally.
> The frailty of the global supply chain network has been brutally exposed these last 14 months.

I think it’s the exact opposite, supply chains have held up remarkably well. If I had believed some people here we would have been eating each other by now but apart from a shortfall in toilet paper things have been fine.
I had the opposite happen. I had been building servers for my (largely Django-based) projects using long txt files from old digital ocean tutorials I had customized.[1]

I fought docker and all of that but had some time last year between gigs and spent a few weeks examining the state of things and experimenting. The most influential of works were recent guides by Michael Herman. [2]

In the process I learned to set up not fully reproducible server setups but branch and commit message-specific CI/CD workflows using Github Actions.

It turns out it is like most things, hard and complicated until you know and have living samples and then it seems relatively straightforward and efficient.

GA is still fairly young and there is still opportunity to create and share flourishes of art in devops there.

No way the M1 supports "dual socket" configurations. Absolutely no way a configuration like that would "combine" the GPUs and display outputs. I'd bet money on Apple releasing a larger monolithic "M1X" or whatever for the large MBPs.
I don’t find it uncool at all. Well we have to start somewhere. Don’t you think this usage of WebAssembly is at least providing some feedback into it’s ecosystem to make improvements for next time? Id rather have developers choosing webassembly even if the implementation doesnt meet our expectations yet
But schools are not advertising to the public that they are “buying” the class and no reasonable consumer who pays tuition believes a 1 time payment of tuition permits them to attend the class indefinitely.

On the other hand Apple purposefully advertises movies as “rentals” or “purchases” sure more sophisticated individuals know better (usually those in the tech industry savvy to the willful and deceptive marketing of the tech companies) but the average consumer understands they have purchased the ownership rights of the movie.

Continuing with a reasonable standard if you are suspended/expelled you are generally entitled to due process (certainly in public schools), on the other hand if you violate Apple TOS you may not have the same due process, but it is reasonable to assume they will not delete your data And purchases without the opportunity to retrieve the same. Otherwise it’s a license to steal, they could claim the bank accounts you have connected to Apple Pay are forfeited to Apple, they can publish your emails/photos to harass and embarrass you, etc...
> I expect make a San Francisco salary working remotely from other countries

I don't even making a San Francisco salary working not remotely in the US. It should be illegal to pay people different wages based on where they live, but it's not. Companies pay the market value of labor in a given region.
I still can't comprehend how the scientists and engineers managed to launch STS 1 (test flight) with two astronauts in 1981 - without doing a prior test launch with no astronauts inside (like SpaceX).. Absolutely incredible. I don't know what it is about the Shuttle, but the aesthetics are just really nice. The safety, of course, is a different question, but it still has a special place in my heart.
Assuming things fall on the side of "indefinite access" that can't be revoked:

What happens if you have someone who is genuinely abusing your systems?

Are you just powerless until it reaches the point of criminal actions? That doesn't seem unreasonable, as I can't actually think of many examples of abuse that wouldn't be criminal..

It does make code harder to debug when something goes wrong. Since tail calls create no stack frames, a call sequence f->g->h where g tail calls h will show up as a stack of (f, h) in the debugger. The fix is easy, just make MUSTTAIL expand to nothing in debug builds. But it's something to keep in mind, and it means your debug mode code will have different memory use characteristics.
The SAE levels measure the level of autonomy. Level 2 / driver assist is a form of autonomy.

Also level 1 is driver assistance. Level 2 would be “partial automation”, see http://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2013/12/sae-levels-driving...
Here's the problem:

short trips - cars beat trains

long trips- planes beat trains

This is why we have successful train service only in the northeast where the trips are medium length, and cars advantages are mitigated by the awful traffic on 95.
"Knacker" is a somewhat oldish word for "old guy" in german - maybe related? Also comes from the word "knack" with the same meaning as in dutch.

Big tech already has that in https://levels.fyi, which to my understanding is updated by their comp analysts (though they will not admit as such). Tech right now is a seller's market for labor, and so buyers comparing notes on prices is IMHO not in the worker's advantage. In fact, it's worth asking ourselves whether levels.f is turning into tech's new mechanism for collusion.
Octo-Tiger Rapidly Models Stellar Collisions
I’m a primarily backend dev who works on mobile apps sometimes, and I strongly agree. It’s a truly terrible and frustrating piece of software. It tries to do way too many things, and does them all poorly.

Even doing something as simple as upgrading Xcode via the App Store is painful, often progressing insanely slowly and taking hours or even tens of hours on an otherwise fast connection. It has been like this for years and years and Apple has done nothing to fix it, like most Xcode issues.
> A candidate's expectation for salary might be lower than the advertised range, but if they see the range, they'll expect more money.

A client expected price for a product might be higher than the advertised price, but if they see the price, they'll pay less.

I do not say this is a good idea, but I do not think it is obvious that this particular issue is a reason for it to fail. This is how selling products work so, why wouldn't it work for the job market?

I have seen this first-hand before. Corps with good salaries but no public ranges. Every time they have to hire out of core competencies and the local market is not too strong for the roles, it can take up to a year for the whole process.
> Not so much if you live in North America. There are a few plug-in options, but it seems like the good ones are staying in Europe and Japan because in 2021, the big automakers still don't think there's a market for EVs in the Americas.

We have, and love, our Chevrolet Bolt. In addition to the Bolt, Kia, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Porsche, Audi, Jaguar, Polestar (Volvo), and more all have electric vehicles, all available in the US.
It'd be nice if I could use the Find My app for that rather than needing to open the Maps app (since I use other maps apps).

But good tip, thanks.
Strong disagree. You should always apologize for _what you did_ not the _effects_ of what you did. Lead with and more strongly emphasize your actions and how they were inappropriate.
If you have a set route, like a commute from the suburbs into a city, then a train should be the better choice.

If it isn’t then your local authority does a poor job on infrastructure.
I guess I haven't been following along very closely because I was only vaguely aware of the New Safe Confinement. It's quite the project:

> The New Safe Confinement was constructed 180 metres (590 ft) west of reactor 4, and slid into place. Sliding of the structure along foundation rails was a difficult process. It was pushed on Teflon pads by hydraulic pistons, and guided by lasers. As of 2018, the New Safe Confinement is the world's largest movable land-based structure.

Regular manufacturers have lots of full electric cars. As you say, SpaceX basically has no competitors.

I’m not saying Tesla isn’t ahead. I’m saying SpaceX is comparatively much more ahead. Tesla at least has competition.
The fine print says what it is when you buy. This is a thing in almost all industries when it comes to marketing.
Cool beans, so it's roughly half of them or so. Nevertheless it still seems to be a ban not on knives but on some of their uses, such as using them against people or planning to do so.
Jordan Peterson (red flag, I know!) talks about how disgust is actually one of the oldest emotional centers in the brain and is an incredibly distinct emotion from fear. He mentions that most people think that reactionary conservative thinking is driven by fear, but he thinks it is actually driven by people’s innate ability to feel disgusted and how that emotion pours over from physical disgust of feces, rot, maggots, etc. to more social and abstract forms. Some people innately feel this more strongly than others, but you can also train yourself to be less disgusted. It bears out if you have ever seen someone who is what I might call “physically bigoted”, i.e. their body seems to have an intense physical reaction to people of different races or classes. Think about how fundamentalists really hate gay sex (or even slightly kinky “adultery”)— their actions aren’t driven by a logical process, the thought of it is so disgusting that they are repulsed by it’s very existence.

I find this interesting because of how disgust has been used in the past and present as a rhetorical device for various social movements. Hitlers speeches about keeping a strong aryan race centered around analogies of disease, filth, and purity. Covid and covid coverage certainly latches onto people’s deep desires to stay away from the diseases as well. There are logical reasons to want people to wear masks but I think the feeling goes deeper for some. A certain kind of lefty thinks right wing states are a plague ship full of untouchables. On the other hand, right wingers have latched on to the “Chinese virus” narrative, and attempt to humanize Asian people is seen as naively/maliciously allowing disease spreaders into the community by conservatives.

I guess my point is that we might be better off to be intentionally and rationally disgusted wherever possible, and should be aware that this incredibly strong emotion can be used to manipulate us.

Are you referring to the anti-government cult in CA that couldn't build a train from SF to LA for $100 billion, so they decided to instead build a massive train that nobody will ride from Sacramento to Bakersfield? Because that cult really is destroying the government's reputation.
And they tax the CPU pretty hard too.
This FlightGear's shuttle is the most accurate version. I think the choice of shuttle mission was because of the unusual transpolar trajectory.

I got layoff about a month ago. While looking for jobs, the average pay increased about 20‰. I think it is either a reflection of the inflation, or that the companies are recognizing the need of more qualified employees amid the "great recovery".

Because the marginal cost of a digital file is too darn high?
This is a great strategy. You're using a concrete example and asking them to help you solve the problem.
I would like see their research proposal to answer some of these questions. That probably won’t happen though.
This doesn’t make any sense. Are you saying they should block us? The point would be moot if they’re already blocked. Are you saying we should let their elites indulge in our media when their own citizens can’t? Because if so you’ve completely ignored my statement about the paradox of intolerance

How does this empower women? Sounds like lowering the bar for everyone.

The author even said she’s likely to undervalue her own worth. This proposal is a business straight up telling them their worth. Opposite of empowering. She wants prices listed like a McDonalds drive thru. She wants it easy.

Real empowerment would be teaching women how to properly negotiate a salary.

It’s not empowering to stay in t-ball.
A friend is living in the Japanese sticks but on a Shinkansen line. He commutes via Shinkansen directly to Shinagawa station, almost next to his office. Zero changes, a 1hour train ride with reserved seating in a quiet environment. He almost always clocks in for the ride and does quiet work, but it's also a great way to relax. The expensive train fare is essentially what he saves on Tokyo rent in exchange for being able to afford a great house with a large yard.
I find this difficult to parse.

What benefit would length encoded headers provide other than to reduce payload size? With JSON you just have to scan for whitespace, whereas with protobuf you actually have to decode the length field.
Perhaps a controversial perspective, but if you aren't working in the same timezone, and can't synchronously communicate with your colleagues, can you provide as much value with respect to your California-based peers?

Sure, you can watch Zoom recordings, but when folks have to connect, it'll be a 24-hour turn around to get questions answered, and those lags could materially impact business outcomes.
Companies should also publish where they stand on the whole equality and equity thing. Some people just want to work, without being harassed for their gender!
P.S. dropped by your submissions because I caught the (withdrawn?) https://theamericansun.com/2021/04/22/almost-killed-me/ story. Read it, not a bad piece, although the "human interest" theme in the press is a bit wearisome and I generally avoid it.
Actually really interesting.
Is this not a good thing? It lets you see that you are being underpaid and allows you to negotiate from that position (or accept that you don’t think you’re worth what newer hires are.) I honestly don’t see a downside.
To me, this sounds like a net negative in the same way that going to the dentist for a checkup reveals you have cavities. The root cause ( sorry) seems to be that your employer plays favorites, not that they reveal the fact they play favorites by being transparent.

I just played around with newspaper3k today, and it works really well out of the box.

I plan to add support for article view reader mode with newspaper3k integration. My current approach is to create a child process with `std::Process:Command` then run a python script. Doesn't seem to be the best approach, but I guess it's the easiest one.

If I'm going into Boston from the ex-urb where I live, I'll take the commuter rail if I go in "9-5" because the commute at rush hour is awful and parking is expensive. But it doesn't work if I'm going in for an evening event, say, because the drive isn't as bad, parking tends to be cheaper, and the schedules outside of rush hour are not frequent.

In general, train on the Northeast Corridor is pretty good especially if you're not going the whole route. But I actually would be faster to drive to Manhattan than taking the Acela. However, it's a lousy drive and I hate driving into Manhattan.
Just wanted to chime in that you can, in fact, convert old ASCII plist files to modern JSON and XML and then convert them back: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46929480 shows how to use plutil in one direction, and you can convert back using the “pl” utility, I believe. It’s a bit confusing that one command converts to modern formats and a different command can convert modern formats back to legacy formats.

Under “standards”, the man page appears to have the following cheeky warning for pl: “The pl command obeys no one's rules but its own.”

https://www.unix.com/man-page/osx/1/pl/ or just type “man pl” or “man plutil” at Terminal.
