i can see this being genuinely useful for CX type roles, where voice and sentiment are important.

Its a quick way to list a database of effective 1st round (call) interviews. Then you can let software take over doing analysis of the network effect (who knows you and can voice for you) do the rest of the work.

I have done recruiting for CX roles in the past, and it has frustrated me to no end that I'm unable to easily parse thru a list of effective phone interviews. Most recruitment sites dont even consider it (probably because CX is low in the totem pole, unlike ENG)

That being said, not sure how it would work outside of CX
Well if the law required each AP provide half the bandwidth for public use, you can bet every AP would have firewalling built in and a public/private split.

Just like the LTE network typically has firewalling between users, and stories of peoples phones being hacked via LTE are very rare.

The New World of “Going Public” – IPO vs. SPAC vs. Direct Listing
Simple conclusion: "Masks make a huge difference indoors and rarely matter outdoors." The 10% estimate in question is perhaps orders of magnitude too conservative. Why would the CDC employ such a weak numeric argument? They could have left it at something like we see no strong evidence for outdoor transmission. Does there have to be a number attached to public health advice?

Everything I cook is temperature + feel. For example on pork once it hits 200-205 (depending on what temp I'm cooking at, the higher the cook temp the higher the finish temp) the thermapen becomes an expensive toothpick to feel for tenderness. Color is used as a element when I might move on to the next step but not at all for when it is done - for example I wrap pork once it hits 160 + has the color I want.

It has to be a repeatable processes, especially if you are doing it commercially and you need to train other people. Temperature is a measurable thing vs look or feel which is subjective.

For some things accuracy is extra important, one or two degrees won't make or break a pork but but can greatly impact something like steak.

> Aqueducts were not a Roman invention, but in Roman hands, these long-distance aqueducts were developed further and extensively diffused throughout one of the largest empires in history

Roman water management is one of my interests (ask my wife, she will tell you that it's annoying how much I talk about aqueducts). The real invention though wasn't the aqueduct, although they definitely are engineering feats, since they require reasonably precise measurements and construction over long distances. The real innovation though was being able to maintain (relative) peace over their territory. Aqueducts are large and imposing, but also fragile and impossible to defend. Defending Rome's aqueducts required keeping the enemy out of Italy, for example. Rome's real success was over that part, not necessarily just the construction.

Not sure why you think ADA/Spark isn't free. There's GNAT[0], an open source ADA compiler that's part of the GNU toolchain, a fairly good book teaching ADA and SPARK[1] by Ada Core, and plenty of tutorials.

Accessibility is really not the problem. The problem is, Ada is an old language that has many similar problems to C: lack of a good package management story, and a design by committee making language evolution glacially slow (though that also doubles as a feature). It also lacks a vibrant ecosystem like we can find in other popular languages.

Furthermore, SPARK in particular takes the concept of safety much further than Rust or Zig do right now, as it allows proving the correctness of a program according to a formal specification. Rust/Zig only care about proving the absence of UB. This makes SPARK much more complex, and thus have a much higher barrier of entry.

I'm not doubting it's real work; just that why other people in the same team have to volunteer (or being underpaid in case of the other two employees), while a single person is paid "properly"?
If I:
- built Project A
- left Project A and started the competitor Project B
- contributed a lot of PRs to Project B each week, and
- saw that a guy in a similar role at Project A, has relatively few weekly contributions to Project A

My eyebrows would be a little raised. Not that I would call them out in a tweet, but I would at least be curious where that guy is spending his time.

A lot of existing C code relies on this, and removing the promotion will prime this code to be copy/pasted without fix. Who will rewrite all the C and C++ codecs code out there?

A lot of C and C++ programmers actually ignore the int promotion rule, but their code relies on it involuntarily.

"I convert folks all the time. I get zero a year readers to an average of 6 to 10 a year. Mostly because i used to hate reading until i got converted as well. I know the pain points."

I used to read 30-ish novels a year, and now it's more like 4. Would love to get back on the horse, I'm sure there are plenty of others. Finding fun books to read is tough.

As for post 2, 3, 4...? I dunno, but I'm on Twitter at atseajournal, and happy to hear about whatever.

It's inherent in hierarchical command structures, especially with advancement (and therefore politics).

From a game theory perspective, groups are incentivized to advertise (and hopefully popularize) their positions.

Individuals are then incentivized to align and advertise their allegiance with either popular or up-and-coming positions.

The end result... exactly what we see.

(And it's not like this isn't present in tech via cargo cultism either)

They started with one paid salary. Tried to expand that. Didn't get enough money to do so; now they're asking (fairly, IMO) for the community that treats them as critical infrastructure to pony up.
This makes me think about Taleb's fragile vs robust vs antifragile systems with relation to the power grid.

Is a nation-sized power grid even a good idea anymore? If most places were powered by a local cooperative solar + wind + storage system, it would be less efficient, but wouldn't it also be a lot more robust against a CME, and also everything else? Individual systems would go down all the time, but overall the system as a whole would never be able to be taken down by pretty much anything.

I have worked in a position where I repaired all of these brands, and can say that at least in the last two decades Stanley Black and Decker Inc. has been very strategic with product positioning and continued support for all of their brands. DeWalt is supposed to be their professional (or probably prosumer) line that's built to last, or at least to be repaired. Black & Decker, which had been a higher-end brand before the 90s, is now pretty much all "happy homeowner" tools built out of less durable plastic and often without replacement parts available. Porter-Cable seems to fall in the middle, a bit closer to B&D.

There's a certain 20V compact leaf blower that I've seen branded as a DeWalt, Ryobi, and Milwaukee. I'm not sure about the motor or controller but the plastic casing is almost identical aside from the color and battery connector. It's also interesting to note that the B&D and the Porter-Cable 20V batteries are identical except for a plastic tab that prevents interoperability.
Yeah, I was speaking more to California and the US

This seems like pointless pedantry that the article itself seems to admit.

The CDC set the bar really high (10%), so that they could provide public health guidance without getting caught in bickering about error-rate or statistical anomaly traps. The CDC tried to avoid pedantry and are now getting pedant-ed for that too.

Ultimately this is a distinction without a difference, since "less than 1%" is included in "less than 10%." The CDC covered their back, and the public health guidance was identical.

Harriet is a great kids' series (as is Dragonbreath). Just to include it here, most of Vernon's writing for adults (which is what her Patreon focuses on) is under the pen name T. Kingfisher. "Jackalope Wives"; Clockwork Boys (fantasy novel); Swordheart; The Twisted Ones; A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking... fun, quirky, interesting stories!

> I may be living in my own small little bubble but I don't know anybody shopping for anything because their smart TV showed an ad. Everything ads seem to do is just piss some people off.

I don't think you're living in a bubble, but I do think that advertisers will pay for completely ineffective ads. Therefore, Samsung and LG have to compete to make the worse product so they can win the free money these naive advertisers are handing out.

I assume that investors simply won't accept one-time sales as a business model anymore. They want continuous growth with no employees on payroll to grow things. Ads are that. (You can see this everywhere. Apple wants 30% of Spotify subscriptions just for making the iPhone. Games are designed for esports and the associated sponsorships. Amazon wants $99 a year for shipping, rather than $10 on top of each order. Easy money, and people say "yes!!!!" to it all.)
I buy directly a lot. Shopify has made this easier. For electronics I buy most of my stuff either directly, or through someplace like Best Buy. They aren't always the cheapest, but they at least they don't send me counterfeit products. I mostly order stuff from Amazon stuff that I might get on Alibaba. All I order some music stuff from them. I prefer to order from Sweetwater, but they've been having stock issues due to demand during the pandemic. Although I'm still more likely to order from Guitar Center than Amazon.

An interesting product could be a TV with swap-able boards. One could be a simple dumb board with inputs, or you could switch it out for a board with privacy oriented smart features. There could also be a gaming targeted board with more even more power. I don't know much about driving LCD/OLED panels, but maybe it could also be useful for updating specs, like you could just upgrade the board when there's a new HDMI version or HDR standard, or to add hardware acceleration for a new codec.
A lot of functions you would use a remote for can be managed by the connected device.

It reads like a thinly veiled “kids these days”.
Which then reminds me of a classic:

> I was once working with a customer who was producing on-board software for a missile. In my analysis of the code, I pointed out that they had a number of problems with storage leaks. Imagine my surprise when the customers chief software engineer said "Of course it leaks". He went on to point out that they had calculated the amount of memory the application would leak in the total possible flight time for the missile and then doubled that number. They added this much additional memory to the hardware to "support" the leaks. Since the missile will explode when it hits it's target or at the end of it's flight, the ultimate in garbage collection is performed without programmer intervention.

How does Apple's Swift Playgrounds on iOS handle compiling code? Aren't the Swift compiler and linker also separate binaries? I'm wondering whether Apple excepted themselves or whether they actually forced that subset of Xcode to fit into the normal requirements somehow.

I don't know why you're excusing their behavior.

> RISC-V will have saner peripherals

Spoiler: It probably won't. ARM-based systems are even more of a mess than x86 in this regard, as they haven't been standardized up until the last few years when UEFI/SBSA started to be adopted. x86, while shit, at least followed approximate standards and systems were broadly compatible.

I wish the world had standardized on OpenFirmware, it might have at least let us avoid the mess that it ACPI.

I don't understand why there aren't any solutions like this. Why aren't there any languages with a good garbage collector but also let you turn it off and work with memory manually. Maybe there is and I don't know of it? Maybe garbage collected languages and manual memory languages require different design? I don't know.
"actively" and "directly" really are the new "literally".

Seriously, what is it to be actively ableist as opposed to passively ableist? Are words just emotional signifiers now?

Exaggeration has become the bare minimum for getting your point across.

EDIT: don't get me started on "blatantly"
It's actually very easy to go through thousands of TikTok videos. The app is very fluid and as soon as the algorithm begins to get what kind of content you like, the cognitive load of going through videos becomes very low. It's very different from the Spotify algo that assumes you are all into Japanese music just because you liked one song or YouTube that will show you how deep the rabbit hole goes in anything.

I like the idea of elevator pitch style TikToks where you can quickly express yourself and show your creativity. I would imagine the algorithm can start showing the recruiters through the job relevant hashtags and work its magic from there.

The creativity tools of the app can prove very useful, the simplest idea that comes to my mind is a recruiter creating a TikTok video and says something like "Show me something that you learn in your career as X that isn't taught in school" and have the TikToker's quote and reply to the video. The recruiters then can go through the replies and pick candidates for interviewing.

I don't think that anybody will hire through click of a button like shopping for employees, that doesn't happen on LinkedIn, on Indeed, on HN or anywhere. CV or Video, it's just a lead and I bet a few second of a video can tell much more than 2 pages of written CV.

Or, in concrete terms, the CEO who is successful once because they were lucky vs the CEO who has decades of success in wildly different environments, because they learned alternatives and chose the most apt at any time.
