We haven’t seen the full argument that the employee used but it was based on this resource from the ADL as I understand it: https://www.adl.org/sites/default/files/documents/pyramid-of...

The argument here is that treating this kind of mockery as acceptable is part of what enables gradually more serious hateful behavior in a society at large. I don’t really think this is that controversial.

Whether it’s appropriate to bring it up in a work context to explain why something is racist, I’m not sure. I probably wouldn’t do it myself. But I do find it weird that DHH acknowledged the list was bad but doesn’t seem to believe there was anything ethnically or racially prejudiced about it. Children are excused occasional meanness without explanation, but adults generally aren’t.
But your release build is not done constantly, and so you have to sign in and accept an agreement - neither of which is a big deal.
They were 37 signals and like the OG thought leaders on alternative, modern software work culture.
What "system", besides a hostile takeover of a software project?
Send via an accountless coin swap. The trust problem is trivial to work around with a script to slice the loot into small lots (send 1/X, if goes through, send another 1/X, if not, move to another swap bot). Will take a little while, but you can read some Lambo reviews while you wait.
Maybe this is true in a minority of workplaces, but almost every person reading this can think of a coworker who cracked a sexist or rascist joke.
That doesn't count the plurality is people smart enough to keep it to themselves and just let it influence your ability advance.
I don't agree with your assessment, so we have a disagreement, no biggie :)

Car assembly lines were changed to include adding the seat-belt and the catalytic converter, etc, etc due to regulatory mandates. Heck they had to redesign their entire car to include crumple zones for safety! I don't think a screw is all that much.

And so, electronics companies will figure out how to optimize their assembly lines to comply with the regulations and they will figure out how to manage the supply chain and everything else. Apple employs tons of smart people, and there are many smart people in the world who can help as well.
Nope ; Motorsport is always drivers' skills coupled with engineering ingenuity. It's always about "what can I come up with, which gives me an edge, and still somehow is within the rules?" I don't know anything about Nascar, but the history of Formula 1 is full of such little tricks as well. It's just easier to regulate "other sports" than it is to regulate sports that come coupled with a lot of technological involvement.

If sth gives you an edge for half a season until rules are adjusted, that might be enough to win a championship. It's a cat-and-mouse game, but it's also exciting, and important for the whole thrill of it.

Decades past Gordon Murray designed a fan quite literally sucking cars to the ground, which somehow was within regulations, because no one even considered something like that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb6DAmm7sZg In rally driving, they would sometimes come up with fake reasons for a start to be delayed, so they wouldn't have to drive in the front car's dust all the time. Audi entering with their 4-wheel car back in the days was only possible, because they pushed for a rule change and no one else really knew what was coming. Sometimes manufacturers straight up "cheated" (almost, sometimes for real) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lo4dGTrzr8 ; it's a thin line, but also what makes it exciting.

I would say that it's the hacker's / engineering ethos almost. What can I do within the framework? Whether it's building a bridge (to make it more stable while still following this brash design), a road car (how can I create something fun, with torque, sound, emotion, down force, power, but a nice shape, and still get a road legal car within environmental regulations), computer games (consider https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izxXGuVL21o ; computer games are full of hacks to get the most out of the hardware), even legal (how can we pay almost no taxes, while not being busted for tax avoidance?) ; not every ingenuity is necessarily good, but it will always be cat-and-mouse, that's the point of living.

This got meta quick ... and quite a more detailed answer than I anticipated. Sorry for that, hope I gave you a different perspective though.
Yes, exactly what I meant. If they want to be on the device, write within the bounds of the device and support it throughout it's lifetime. Don't hold your massive customer base as leverage after having supported multiple apps on the platform since forever.
You have a good point, and I appreciate the evenhanded approach. I'm still far from sold that "poverty wage" is a useful term if we want to have a healthy discussion. It leaves too much nuance out.
Is there a legitimate scenario for equals method or its counterparts to be defined on anything but final (sealed in C#) classes, that only have immutable fields?
>it’s good for them since they can just print more money.

That's not good because it means they failed to keep up their mandate.

>They largely failed to do so since dollar is so well propped by international demand.

Actually, the international demand is forcing deficit spending. If money leaves the US and then comes back in the form of treasury bonds then pretty much the only way to tap into the money is to let the government get into debt. If driving yields to near zero was good enough to cause inflation we wouldn't be in this mess.
My first car would diesel after turning it off. Basically the engine would keep running on fuel in the carburetor and residual heat in the engine. Sometimes it would do this backwards. This was very problematic because the timing belt tensioner only worked in one direction. When it ran backwards the timing belt would jump a tooth then the car would not start. I got in the habit of just killing the motor with my foot on the brake and the car in gear then letting the clutch out.

I also had the machine shop at my high school weld up a custom tool to help me reset the timing belt in a parking lot with a couple of hand tools. It could be done in a few minutes.

This is a long way of saying yes, if they slip it is bad.
But if the app is working, why shouldn't it be on the store?
If I was regularly getting shot at while driving my car I'd take action. Bullet proof glass would be a must - sure it is expensive, but I'd pay that price. In fact if this was a regular thing the average car would be built more like a tank - armor, fun flat tires (or metal tracks), probably a scuba type air supply so I can't be gassed out...

But since it isn't a regular thing I don't bother with that. My car wouldn't survive long in a real battle and I'm okay with that as I don't expect to have to drive my car in a real battle.

The warning is out to everything network connected: it is time to invest in the equivalent of armor and bullet proof glass.

Those office workers rely on a huge infrastructure of other services -- food preparation, cleaning, maintenance workers, parking lot attendants, etc. etc.

The people who work those jobs should have the same access to their worksites as anyone else. Our willingness to tell people who make less money they should just "live farther away" and have longer commutes is awful. No, we should fix our cities so that we support a range of incomes and workers in one place.
The hardest part of getting people to do this is people dont want backups.

They want restores.
I was maybe 5 or 6. My mom was attending University to get her Teaching degree, with a specialization in Education Technology. She often used my brother and I as test subjects and case studies as a part of her school work.

She was showing me LOGO, a kids programming language she was learning about, and getting me to type in commands to move the little triangle turtle around on the screen. I still had trouble remembering which way was left and right, and as the little triangle-turtle rotated on the screen, it became more and more difficult for me to move it the way I wanted as I got confused.

In her art class, she made a little clay turtle - and taped and 'L' and 'R' label on each side of its wide body. I held that clay turtle on my lap, and as I made the digital turtle move about on the screen, I rotated my clay turtle on my lap to match. The clay turtle told me which way was left and right on the screen, so I could continue to move the computer turtle around where I wanted to.

This is unbelievably awesome! I wish I had such material and teacher like Bartosz Ciechanowski when I was learning IC engine during my undergrad for mechanical engineering. Thanks a million to Bartosz wherever you are and whoever you are! Simply wonderful! Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
People often don't like the implications of their principles.

For example, although MLK Jr. espoused being a good Christian, he did not follow the principles of being a good Christian when he cheated on his wife with multiple different women.
If the engine is a non-interference design, losing the belt won’t be catastrophic for the valves
My second sentence is suggesting that fast food restaurants will pass higher labor onto consumers. Your point seems entirely unrelated to that idea.
On the contrary, anyone who would choose to stay doing exactly what they've been doing despite being offered 6 month's pay to leave is not a person who will try to positively change things around them, barring some other external factor preventing them from leaving. You probably don't want them on your team.
If you mean from the tech industry, I probably spend too much on collecting hobby domains and then park most of them. I probably spend too much on VPS and server rental providers.
>In an ideal world you don’t work at a company that maintains a list of customer names to laugh it.

In an ideal world, that would be the very bottom of bad things in the world, well below "annoying ringtones".
To be fair, it's easy to buy an old working iPhone on eBay for $30. And size is entirely irrelevant if you're putting it in someone's car.

So I think the parent makes a point worthy of discussion. If Apple is providing this protection for Airtags, why aren't they providing it for all devices?
But that is creating tragedy of commons that we have now. People who are having money are investing in stocks or ETFs, buying real estate because it is still better than having cash. Which inflates stocks/real estate bubble and when it bursts it will be much bigger mess than paying low wages but in constant manner, spread out over multiple people and multiple years.

I definitely did not write about business that cannot pay its employees. I wrote about business that lets people put the food on the table, which means also pay the bills.
Elsewhere in HN posts today about GameBoy game vulnerabilities, this DARPA press release from last week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27000282
I'm simplifying a bit (edit: quite a bit =]), but the way these attacks work is generally by exploiting the difference in timing between something being in cache, and something not being in cache. Or some resource being contended vs not contended.

If something is in cache, and you also have access to that cache, accessing that thing will be fast and few CPU resources will be used.

So you can tell that something is in cache. And you know you didn't put it there. So some other thread that you're sharing a CPU core with must have put it there.

To exploit those attacks, you're going to intentionally watch the other thread as it, for example, (speculatively) takes a branch, and either puts something in cache or doesn't. Now you know whether the other thread (speculatively) took a branch or not! Just from measuring timings of the cache.

From that, you work back to what the branch condition (that was still only speculatively executed) must have been, and if this branch is based on (speculatively loaded) data, you just leaked one or more bits of the data.

Suddenly, things are not speculative anymore. You guessed data that wasn't yours, because speculatively using it had an effect on the cache, and you could measure that effect. Here, they use the micro-op cache (I haven't read the paper, so I don't know the details, but this is broad strokes).

Any mechanism that you can use during speculation, and that you can extract timing information from is potentially a problem. And these are everywhere.

That's why the Spectre problem is so hard to fix now that pandora's box is open.
Presumably it could check in with you every now and then by asking non-judgemental questions.

"How are you doing?" ("Really well", "not great", "I can't cope")

"Do you feel up to another task?" ("Yes", "Not right now", "Can't right now")

"Do you need to take a rest?" ("No, I'm good", "I will soon", "Yes")

This can be done separately from task prompting, so that someone seeing "How are you doing?" doesn't immediately associate "I'm doing well" with "Give me another task immediately" and start forming negative associations.

Not sure how well that would work, but it's a thought.
Very similar. ZX-48 at 11 years of age. First some graphics programs, then a chess program. The first program I "invented" was a guessing game.
I graduated to pascal a couple of years after on a PC. The class was for professional adults, most of them engineers by training so I was the only kid. I did not have a PC, so I wrote pascal long hand through the week and then typed when in class. Fun times!

I was just commenting on what the argument was. When someone tells you what their pronouns are and then you're expected to use said pronouns, then that's where people feel they're being forced to use specific pronouns.

But since you asked, no I don't talk about myself in the third person.
The engine in one of the vehicles I own has timing gears rather than a chain or belt. Another option, different trade-offs.
At minimum when a device opens up and swapping the battery takes 10 seconds near everyone does it themselves. As difficulty increases the propensity of users able to afford to do so trends towards zero. Imagine if a battery costs $200 and requires $100 in labor. If the cost at purchase is 400 and the value at end of warranty is $200 zero people will ever make use of this service and every device becomes trash after the battery wears out.

Artificially inflating cost of parts can trivially be used to enforce planned obsolescence.
Did you invent a field of psychology to be able to decide if people need counseling based on what is happening online? For all I know, outrage culture is mainly happening through bots of foreign enemies intent on destabilizing the anglophone world.

Ah, thanks for your explanation - I'm with you now. I've done some shader programming myself, both "from scratch" and also in Godot, but I'm not an expert. So if you're using a 2D transform type, on the hardware it's still using a 3D/quaternion transform? Interesting.

And so even if I was careful to write shaders that efficiently operate in 2D space, those efficiencies would be trumped by the hardware converting it all to 3D space anyway?

I guess my intuition was that if you have a full 3D shader setup, eg the Unity renderer, that you add a layer of new shaders on top of to give a friendlier 2D API, that's going to be slower than just writing the 2D API on its own.

Perhaps, but don't take comfort in that: protect yourself with good backups so you can keep the reputation of it not being worth it to attack linux/BSD users as they won't pay up. So long as there is no money in attacking they won't find our bugs.
> ... someone up who left their last job because they couldn't agree to stop bitching about politics on the company dime? I don't see how demonstrating the inability to follow basic company rules in the interest of productivity improves their career prospects.

Exactly. These didn't use to have to be rules -- it was simply part of Professionalism and social courtesy. That wasn't that long ago, it seems.
yes. and tsmc even has a fab (28nm) in mainland china.
Thanks for pointing that out! There's a known bug where if the DB has less than X recipes for a given filter, it throws a 4xx. One way to fix it is to fix the bug. The alternative is to always have more than X recipes for a filter :D
I had some time series data which was append only like this. I started looking into skip lists and realized I might as well make it deterministic where the height of a node is basically popcnt. It ended up looking and behaving a lot like this.
I mean, that’s nice but it doesn’t really afford a typical professional middle class lifestyle that you would see outside the SF bay area. (Unless partner is at FAANG or surgeon)

You’re mostly stuck at liquid comp of $180-220k tops. Obviously if the startup works out, hallelujah. But if it doesn’t - that salary sucks for trying to have a home in a nice school district along with some normal vacations and what not.
I think you focusing on a word that's not that important.

How do you define what's a fireable homophopic offense. You need to discuss it, you can't shut it down because its political and uncomfortable to discuss. You need to listen to the people that are being made uncomfortable and have these discussions. "stop being political" is making a decision, it's the side of no change.
It's not backwards compatibility support, it's warranty. Google is running Youtube. It's very profitable. They can afford the maintenance burden of running these apps for the supported lifetime of Roku devices. It's really no different than running Youtube to an old computer.
I'd concur with that. Note this was one of the notorious to fail JATCO nissan/mitsubishi transmissions. Blowing fluid through with pressure makes no sense. Sediment sitting in pans does not affect operation until it is agitated into suspension
Basecamp isn't a typical company, it has an outsized influence on work culture, development trends, etc. Its CTO is the creator of Ruby on Rails with nearly half a million Twitter followers. One of the people resigning, George Claghorn, also resigned from the Rails core team.
> prohibits having a life at work.

From my perspective that seems like an odd way to think of work. You have a life at work but it necessarily has certain constraints since you've sold your time, attention & best efforts to your employer.
> The standard interpretation is that politics became more divisive in the mid-90s

No, its not, at least not as a step-change, which is what you seem to be arguing against.

The common interpretation is that it began to get sharply more divisive over time starting in the mid-1990s, not that the current level of division established itself then.

> for example, the Democrats seem to have settled on always electing a man and woman for P/VP.

2 sequential nominations (2016, 2020) is a pretty weak basis for a conclusion of “always”.
In my experience squash messages combine the messages of the commits they consolidate. And the actual branch merged still exists, I don't buy hardlined stances against squashed merges.
Sorry they actually settled for 113 million to terminate the lawsuit. I normally read settled for 9 figures as admitting wrongdoing.
Sure. Point stands: I was literally a teenager making change on bagel purchases. (Yes, actual bagel shoppe.) I was absolutely making poverty wages. If I did not have free meals from work as a perk I would have starved.
I still use my Pebble Time (with another for when it dies) and use Pebble-Rebble to keep it working on Android (11).

> The costs get passed onto consumers.

Regarding this, from this[1] paper:

> Many business leaders fear that any increase in the minimum wage will be passed on to consumers through price increases thereby slowing spending and economic growth, but that may not be the case. New research shows that the pass-through effect on prices is fleeting and much smaller than previously thought.

> By looking at changes in restaurant food pricing during the period of 1978–2015, MacDonald and Nilsson find that prices rose by just 0.36 percent for every 10 percent increase in the minimum wage, which is only about half the size reported in previous studies. They also observe that small minimum wage increases do not lead to higher prices and may actually reduce prices. Furthermore, it is also possible that small minimum wage increases could lead to increased employment in low-wage labor market.

The narrative about automation is used to justify Big Tech monopolies. I.e. there are huge tech monopolies nowadays because big tech is automating everything and driving all local brick-and-mortar shops out of business and people are going out of work because of automation.

The narrative about big data is used to justify Big Tech's (e.g. Facebook) high profits. I.e. Advertising wasn't lucrative before but now thanks to big data (targeted advertising), it's very lucrative.

What if an alternative explanation to the first narrative is not that Big Tech is automating everything, but instead, that their monopolies are simply a result of them having preferential access to large amounts of newly created capital (e.g. at lower interest rates or via shell company revenue laundering schemes); their access to the money printers creates an asymmetric playing field which allows them to beat all the competition in spite of their inefficiencies.

What if an alternative explanation to the second narrative is that the real reason why advertising has become so profitable is not because of Big Data, but simply because businesses are desperate to protect their wealth from inflation and for lack of a better alternative, they decide that consumer mindshare is the most valuable asset... So companies which monopolize consumer attention/mindshare (social media companies) end up flooded with money from all sectors of the economy.

If most of the Big Tech growth we've seen is artificial, then what will happen to inflation when large numbers of investors start selling shares and spending their money to buy real productive businesses instead (I.e. if they all give up on the false automation and big data narratives)?
