I hate this setup. You generally need to have anything audio/video related on the laptop anyway and these are the most CPU hungry apps. Working through remote sessions suck and are high latency even on good connections, it's really noticeable for certain things like alt-tabbing and intellisense and it works awfully for multi monitor setups.

I suspect it's more so companies can pretend all their old rules about keeping data on site can remain. Still, it's better than going back to the office.

I'm a 43 yo autodidact + BS EE/CS. Haven't had a problem except for resume gaps when doing side-hustles and unnamed startup consulting for too long, HR at shops raise their eyebrows. When it gets to in-person interviewing, I may have a leg over with ~10 years of neanimorphism, look somewhat between a neohippie artist and an idle trustfunder (definitely neither, LOL!), and (obnoxious bragging here) date college students which might help with youthful-seeming attitude.

Oh and worked on nuclear reactor simulators, infosec research, compilers, industrial mining embedded systems, HPC biomedical informatics, and just about every permutation of AWS/hybrid cloud startup scaling (Prod Eng/SRE). Rust, Haskell, C, Ruby, TS/Elm, and so on.

There's always learning, new approaches, and shifting standards to handle.

Buying into one's own ego / being the office jerk are the biggest enemies in high-productivity tech. Relentlessly resourceful go-givers tend to win out in the long-term as the most valuable employees because the big name celebrity rockstar whatever tends to write checks their hubris can't cash.

Yeah, I've found that any large Java codebase tends to use a lot of annotations (e.g. Spring, JPA, JTA, AspectJ, JAX-RS) to do things that would be too cumbersome to do within Java proper - the annotations tend to be "magic" in the sense of doing something that breaks the normal rules of the Java language.
Now make it competitive with desalination at around 1/2 a cent a gallon and realize even that is far to expensive for agricultural use.

I do the same thing when I hear people speak. Certain American dialects will make me rate a person's ability, intelligence, or trustworthiness more or less highly. I am aware of it and do what I can to mitigate the effects, yet it does not stop these biases from triggering consciously and I'm sure unconsciously.
no one is stopping you to pay for this superior alternative to 'clunkier' offerings. but to say he came up with the 'solution' is disingenuous.

I'm seeing people saying 'this is amazing. I will pay for this' without even having tried it or any alternatives. I don't know about you but doesn't seem natural.

Why not just introduce new regulation? Companies will be dragging this as long as they can and reap profits, whereas such organisations continue to take salaries, do pointless meetings and then release more reports how the situation looks bad.

Maybe in the case of financial agreements or other contracts, but that's not how sexual consent works with respect to alcohol. Otherwise, what happens if two people are both drunk and they both have sex? They're both simultaneously victims of and perpetrators of rape?

The above commenter is insinuating that society applies a double standard here: that if an intoxicated man and woman have sex, the former is considered a perpetrator while the latter is considered a victim. That is incorrect, both are treated equally in the eyes of the law. This scenario doesn't happen because if two people had sex at least one was sober enough to decide to have sex. This situation where two people are intoxicated to the point where they are incapable of consenting have sex cannot occur.

Here's the actual law: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml...

> A policy that, in the evaluation of complaints in the disciplinary process, it shall not be a valid excuse that the accused believed that the complainant affirmatively consented to the sexual activity if the accused knew or reasonably should have known that the complainant was unable to consent to the sexual activity under any of the following circumstances:

> The complainant was incapacitated due to the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication, so that the complainant could not understand the fact, nature, or extent of the sexual activity.
It isn't really lying from a personal perspective either. The "person" writing the response is unable to reinstate the account as a matter of policy, which is a valid reason forbidding something in a civilized society. Likewise, by matter of a different policy the author is unable to comment on the specifics of the suspension.

It could be as simple as "Google management reviewed this app and decided it cuts into the bottom line of some service offered by Google." If the low-level person writing emails is aware of this fact then it would be reasonable to understand why they are unable to share the true motivation for suspension. What is more likely is the low level email writer looks up the account and the reason for suspension listed is, verbatim "Ad fraud - <3 Mgmgt." Then the low-level person would not be stretching the truth at all when they say they are unable to reinstate the account and are unable to provide more information.

I'm genuinely interested to understand your point of view to have that impression, as your argument is a bit broad and someone disingenuous could argue that everything other than C/assembler is optmised for developer comfort.
I see this as a common sentiment, but I don't see it IRL.

SPAs aren't a fad anymore; instead, they're the norm.

Web development over the past 3 years has majorly stabilised compared to the last 10 as a whole.

Want to work on the frontend? React. It's everywhere and can't be considered 'just a fad' in 2021.

Backend? Wrap your head around REST and you'll be fine with most languages (C# with .net core is very common, although often underpaid in my experience).
Diagrams seem to be on everybody's mind recently ;)

Question: are there any good tools to automatically represent (almost) any code as diagrams?

Use case: I wrote a pretty complex simulation in Python, which is a little hard to explain to my colleagues. I would like to have, e.g., a sequence or a swimlane diagram to help others understand what is going on. I would like this diagram to be automatically generated by other software (IDE extension, plugin, package, etc.).

Would you have any suggestions?

From the original TaxJar blog post:

> For Stripe users, we’re excited to explore ways to integrate better sales tax tools into the Stripe platform, with our technology as the foundation. Stay tuned!

Shopify software is a huge customer for Stripe, and individual Shopify stores are probably the largest subset of TaxJar customers.

I predict this will turn into more sales-tax related features being baked into Stripe, and then implemented as a feature-set into Shopify once the APIs are exposed.
There are still going to be components that you need that are affected by the worldwide supply chain issues. It might actually be worse if you are bringing in individual components from various places and have to get them all on ships.

It isn't unknown and it's not a similar fraction. It's 73 kWh usable in the Model Y:

A better question is why does Tesla not reveal such a basic detail in its marketing.

> When you add up the money you spent on electricity to fill up the battery, then the Model Y goes further per dollar spent on electricity.

You aren't going to see much benefit from that. The difference is 6%.

The Mustang Mach E is thousands of dollars cheaper than the Model Y with the current incentives that it qualifies for. The California Route 1 trim is cheaper even without incentives and gets even more range because it's rear wheel drive. That's a lot of charging to make up the difference.
>Data center up 286%

AMD lumps together Enterprise (meaning mostly data center), Embedded (self-explanatory) and Semi-Custom(= consoles) into one number. This number has gone up 286% year over year. Not data center.

I took a contract once at a mobile handset mfgr that had this. This sysadmin-cum-manager dude (with zero previous management exp) thought he was hot sh*t because of his title. Dude was robotic/patronizing fake, arrogant, useless, and just got in the way. He thought his role was to unsolicited "coach" mission statement BS and insult my intelligence.

Oddly enough, I was fired from that gig for witnessing a senior manager repeatedly mute the conference call to make racist remarks about overseas staff.
Wow I was about to make this more or less exact comment before I read yours. Including, by the way, that last sentence.
Not right now, but the upcoming Intel thing will combine Atom cores and Core cores (lol) like that.

AMD is the one left without an "efficiency core"… but I wouldn't be that surprised if they somehow manage to squeeze almost the same efficiency out of just low power modes on the same Zen core, which would leave them with better multi-core performance as usual.
I wonder if you can install extensions to the cloud browser. And whether the service can add intelligent ad blocking.

But the real question is, of course, of trust. If I were using the service, they would literally see my screen, with all the private and sensitive info on it. They can't but watch my screen to be able to video-compress and transmit its contents.

Let's rule out the lowly idea of the service itself stealing customers' data. Let's consider a three-letter agency, or even a court order + a gag order. Wiretapping your screen just gets easier.
The only thing unusual about you in this regard, is that you are aware of it (which is good).
As someone who grew up poor and white, this was similar to my experience.
I wonder how much they paid to engineers to pull this off. If none of them has become a multi millionaire by now, the competition would have an easy way to poach them.
I think the issue is that companies like this pump millions of dollars into "diversity programs" and strictly police any language that could be considered racist. But they often seem completely blind to the fact that many minorities identify strongly with their lower-class communities, and that office culture that mocks and denigrates those communities actively drives away minorities (and all lower-class individuals) from applying for those jobs. Which kind of defeats the purpose of pledging millions toward "diversity".

A lot of American leftists seem to have labeled any political rhetoric about "the elites" as alt-right talking points. But as someone who works frequently with lower class individuals across the political spectrum, this is a deep-seated frustration I hear from people of all races and political parties.

Regardless of race, no one wants to work at a workplace where you know the majority of people think less of you. This is something that I think corporate America needs to understand better, if they genuinely want better diversity numbers.
Standard English text is around 1 bit of entropy per character, but it doesn't mean you can only write 2^64 non-gibberish text in 64 characters. For example, there are around 40k eight letter words, way more than 256. The entropy is so low because we keep using the same words, but we don't have to. We can also use abbreviations, invent proper nouns, and we don't even have to limit ourselves to English or even a single language.

"犬 in French is chien, that one is Klign jr" is perfectly valid.

I don't know if all 8s is possible, UTF-8 is quite wasteful for that purpose. Maybe we could take advantage of kanji. I don't know enough about Japanese, and even less Chinese, but it looks like you could make a proper noun by mashing any kanji together, including the obscure ones, and it will be usable and pronounceable. Maybe not pretty, but valid.

> The ACCC has put forward a series of potential measures in response to its findings, including that consumers be able to rate and review all apps, that consumers have the ability to change any pre-installed default app on their device, that app developers be allowed to provide consumers with information about alternative payment options and that information collected by Apple and Google in their capacity as app marketplace operators be ring-fenced from their other operations.

Does anyone know what power the ACCC has to make these more than just "proposed"? I'm not familiar with it's role in the Australian political system.

Facebook approves alcohol, vaping and gambling ads targeting 13-17 year olds
Wonderful article. Thank you
The point I'm making here is that you're too hung up on the criminal justice system. No one is talking about criminal punishment except you. We extrajudicially punish people who are innocent all the time. I was suspended in school for getting stabbed. Professors make entire classes retake a test if there's the suspicion that a few cheated. There are all sorts of extrajudicial punishments that happen, all the time, to innocent people, that we collectively don't give a shit about.

Why are you taking a particular stand here about a person who probably did a thing that's much worse than the average thing that results in extrajudicial punishment, has so far received absolutely zero consequences, and is unlikely to receive many beyond his decision to no longer speak at conferences? Like why die on this hill when there are so many other forms of worse extrajudicial punishment that happen every day?
When you're financing a computer, you're still stuck with it if you stop wanting it. Not paying up front here means you can cancel your service at any time and not have to continue paying, you can upgrade to the new faster computer the second it comes available for the same price. Etc.
It's shifting the blame to you - something in their policies prevents them from reinstating your account without allowing you to break the contract. There's no ulterior motive, it's simply the best wording for saying that you still violate some policy.

I think what's possibly needed is a return to a more traditional relationship and dating culture.

In the past, if a man had a dalliance with with a woman and she got pregnant, he was expected to marry her.

Now we expect women to have to be responsible for their own decisions the way men are, but women are generally more emotionally vulnerable than men, due to their more compassionate and less aggressive personalities, and are more easily manipulated as a result.

Therefore it may be up to men to not abuse that.

This was the assumption in place in the past, which is why young women often had chaperones present during close interactions with men, and why the 'marriage if pregnancy' responsibility was placed on men.

We've tried the 'rawr girl power, women can do everything men can do' culture, and the result is scores of women being used and taken advantage of because they were not capable, emotionally/temperamentally, to be their own advocate in sex and dating interactions.
It’d be nice to have someone summarize the discussion on crypto agility, which I think started with agl’s post on the subject. And recently filippo started a similar convo on twitter: https://twitter.com/filosottile/status/1386751406758105089?s...

I don’t think it’s just a crypto thing, agility is an issue in protocols that need to remain compatible in general.
Youtube is probably varying the rate of ads displayed for each user based on some factors. I was watching an hour long interview and was shocked that I was served a 30 second ad every 3-4 minutes. I scanned the comments for outrage, but there were no negative comments. I think YT may have increased my ad rate because I was using a VPN.

I think they will use ads as a form of tax, to discourage certain behavior, and even certain content. I think I notice this more on libertarian leaning videos (although I definitely haven't done any rigorous analysis re that).

Can't wait for the day everything is decentraly hosted, and we access it through whatever portal we want.

> I read the person's letter and looked at her profile.

The verge reports that they spoke to a half-dozen people.

> You can't have a functional organization if you spend a substantial amount of socializing dealing with disagreements that make teamwork difficult.

The question is I guess, if the organization gets to define what discussions are "difficult", can they be trusted to do so? Why? In this case, they released this prohibition on political speech as a direct result of having a wildly insensitive list of "funny names" internally. I think its very easy to argue that such a list would weaken the organization by making it less appealing to people, generally, and more specifically, to certain types of people. Is anything gained from having such a list?

Personally, I think people should take a cynical view of organizations prohibiting "political" speech at work.
> between 3 and 4 millimeters a year.

Due to the geography of the earth as well as other factors, the effects and experience of sea level rise is not the same everywhere. At this moment the sea level at the port of Miami is 8 inches about the 1950 level, significantly more than 3-4mm a year and the rate is accelerating.

Also keep in mind the sea does not need to permanently cover land to make it unlivable. It's well within the realm of possibility that due to expanded floodplains, increased intensity and frequency of storms, that portions of Miami could be unlivable in as little as 30 years, and the entire city unlivable by the end of the century. There's virtually no chance that all the populated areas on the costs will remain livable in the same timeframe.

> so many black people try to convince me that I'm guilty of white privilege

The articles beating this drum are actually overwhelmingly written by white people.

I think the term was popularized precisely because it is needlessly incendiary, as controversy means better click-bait. If you ignore the blanket term entirely and focus simply on meaning, people mostly agree with one another.

For instance, it's uncontroversial to suggest that most white people will not face racial discrimination on the level that black people do in America. It's uncontroversial to suggest that there is a disprivilege by virtue of discrimination. But the term "white privilege" is employed to convey that all white people get "special treatment". That is literally what privilege means, after all. And of course people don't respond so well to that.

If you ask a proponent of the term whether they would tell a homeless white man they have "white privilege", they will hem and haw, finally suggesting that it would be "impolite" but that they do indeed have it. *Why the hesitation* if it's innocuous? Cognitive dissonance is why. When they have to explain it to people, white privilege is typically defined in terms of black dis-privilege, but the literal meaning is that every white person gets special treatment. Of course that will be met with resentment.

All of which to say, if use of language isn't well designed to create an understanding, it's not designed to further social causes. It's designed to create friction.
