Probably so. Thanks for pointing that out.

If you're using Signal at all, you probably care at least a little about security, so it's not a given, but probably the vast majority of Signal users wil never hear about this.

I wasn't trying to say you're automatically guilty if you don't warn the police about what Signal could do.

I was just trying to say that a statement that _implies_ a trap exists, if you know enough about a piece of software, it's not a reasonable warning that a trap exists.

If you know the trap exists, a case can be made that such an indirect statement is actually baiting the trap, rather than warning about it.
> the auth system wasn’t hard at all and it is pretty secure

If there ever was a red flag in what you're saying, this is it.

Auth isn't "scary". But it is hard. You need to know what you're doing in order to implement it from scratch. If you think it wasn't hard, odds are you did it wrong.
Have Man-Hating Jokes Gone Too Far?
Todos are generally terrible practice in code, as they often don’t give any indication how they are going to get to done.

They never get prioritised and very rarely does anyone get to do them.

So what’s the point? It feels like a todo is really only there to serve as an excuse for suboptimal solutions.
Still the point above is valid. A good 'job' is a source of well being. A bad job will kill you faster. The former might be very rare though.
The example with the stop-sign on the building [0] really hits the nail on the head.

For a human it is trivial to see that this is attached to a building (i.e. not part of the road-sign network). I can imagine a camera-only system would struggle with this, and i wonder how a camera-only system can solve this in the general case without a breakthrough in general understanding and interpretation of the world.

Er... that's a simple, widely accepted and understood standard, with a broad set of tooling that can detect and auto-correct it. Crucially, it's something that doesn't really matter. Therefore, because it's, in Ruby world, the norm, the great thing is that we can, by default, just accept that norm, never think about it again, and get on with our day.

Bikeshedding, on the other hand, is taking a contrarian stance and deliberately arguing over stuff that really doesn't matter so that we spend time and energy arguing over that instead of over the code itself and what it's trying to achieve...

I dunno... I think they have their place.

I'm working on a personal project right now and in order to see how things look, if they work etc, I've got a bunch of vanilla js frontend code and //TODO in a few places to call an API and get actual data. It works great for now as I've hardcoded everything, got it looking broadly like the finished product, and it means that I just have to do the API calls (and programme the API too, of course).

I use them a lot.

Agreed.

But there's optimal and there's "optimal" -- by restricting the developer, we open up more opportunities for the compiler to optimise the code (for all that Rust isn't necessarily able to take advantage of these opportunities yet) and a judicious use of `unsafe` may even help us to build an abstraction that gives us the optimal program anyway. Crucially, code that uses unsafe is still no less safe than ordinary C++ code.

From my days as a compiler engineer, I definitely prefer to write clear code and fix the compiler rather than try to convince the compiler to produce the right result by mangling code. And to build my control logic as an abstraction, even if it's only going to be used in one place, so it can be verified separately from the business logic it drives.

The generally correct answer is: PostGis.

If approximate distances (with known error bounds that depend on lat/long) is appropriate then string prefix matching on GeoHash[1] is easy and quite beautiful in many ways.

Basically locations within the same X character string code will be within a known lat/long square of each other. The longer the string the smaller the lat/long square.

> But it is, nevertheless, risky.

But this assumes there is no risk to not doing it, which is false. Getting sick, suffering long term damage to your body, or dying are all very real risks of covid-19 that we already know about. We also have no idea what all the long term less evident negative effects are from covid-19. We have no idea if an asymptomatic covid infection does some sort of long term damage. So we are weighing the risk of treatment against the risk of the disease. People are naturally biased against active risk when compared to passive risk, so it is natural allow a high passive risk while worrying about a low active risk, but they are both just as real.

Digital scales have their quirks, and sometimes very poor UX. For mine, the calibrate button is placed in a way that makes it hard to depress without putting pressure on the top of the scale - which kind of defeats the point. An analog scale will not have such a quirk - there will be a single slider or knob that can be turned without affecting the system.

Mechanical buttons: sure, if you're talking about those junky, flat momentary push-buttons then yeah - they will go out of service after a number of presses. But, a proper mechanical push-button or radio button, such as on old radios and on industrial machinery? Basically indestructible. They could likely last a century, and if they go bad, you can replace them because they are generally possible to service.
This is already a thing, see my other comment. Not sure if it is huge though.
Jolie and SODEP predate grpc, so we don't have grpc just because we had no need for it (we already had a binary protocol with expressive interfaces).

It's definitely something we'll get around doing sooner or later though, since so many people use it, and we do care about interoperability. Contributions towards this would certainly be welcomed warmly.

Will Science Survive Politics?
One issue preventing such parties, is that people do not have time and interest to think about all the issues and there needs to be a way to delegate and trade votes.

In Australia there is https://voteflux.org which solves the first issue.

But another issue is lack of an easy way to onboard new people, because now a party needs to gather a large support to become useful. Maybe if they partner with a petition site like change.org that would both try to influence existing politicians and serve as a way for new people to get involved with the real thing, they would get the necessary viral growth.

I have a few anecdotes like that:

- 39h/week at a truck dismantling warehouse (very heavy duty stuff) I was fresh like a dolphin (was doing pushups during pauses to get ready for the next shift, pretty telling), had to leave after harassment, missed that job a lot.

- part time gig as morning newspaper delivery, couldn't be easier on paper.. couldn't last more than 2 months due to very peculiar stress that driving and stopping constantly while running after the clock. It made no sense but it was incredibly harmful mentally and biologically.

- clerk at a court house: constant passive aggressive colleague interactions, everybody is bored, nobody cares. Very often you end up with your gut twisted due to the absurdity of the environment or the petty bosses ordering you around to feel powerful.

'work' is a subtle topic, you need a quality task, with quality people. In which case it's not a job, it's a life, a pleasure, a source of pride and joy.

There is nothing in the laws of this country that makes an employee/manager sexual relationship a criminal offense. There is no criminal law against "sexual harassment," which exists as a legal concept only for purposes of employment discrimination lawsuits. The only legal consequence of a manager/employee relationship is that the employee can easily turn around and sue the company for sexual harassment or wrongful termination by convincing a jury that something more happened, e.g. that the manager conditioned promotion on sex, fired the employee for ending the relationship, etc.

All true, but he could say to her boss "I don't like her, make life hard so she leaves". He doesn't even need to ask for her to be fired, just make life hell: move her desk near the toilets, don't invite her to meetings, give her the shit jobs etc.

> No applicants studied computer science in university so they started learning when they joined the company and were assigned a development role.

Couple of years ago I had to integrate with a newly built api in japan. 2017, and they basically wrote their own web server in Java. Their own xml parsing. It looks like they read the spec for HTML and SOAP and implemented their own variation of it.

It’s the worst integration I’ve ever had to deal with.

If we got a 500 error from their system we had to write an incident report about why our system failed to call theirs. If they tried to call ours and it failed they would call up and we would ask them to “retry the call” and they would ask us to patch the data in our system because they can’t retry.
I think the predominant question here is: why a language over, eg., a framework?
I'm sorry a typical software developer doesn't do anything innovative. At the current stage, the majority of the industry does works like porting things from lang X to lang Y or mapping between convoluted systems that they themselves created (for "DX"), making skins around databases, again and again. Another hughe chunk of developers works in the attention economy: ads, game, streaming, whatever, the things that I doubt have a net positive contribution to society. They give people nonsense to do and watch and take away their time, sounds like mutiplier of negative productivity if anything.

There are indeed developers working on useful things to society, but they usually work on top of amazing intercom and hardware infrastructures that drive more innovation and deserve more credit than their crappy software.

Speaking as a web developer.

> If car firmwares were more open it would be possible to deploy software improvements to reduce emissions and increase performance.

Better yet - have the actual "car" layer (steering, acceleration, brakes, safety critical parts like airbags and ABS) entirely self-contained on a separate system that's written in a safety-critical language. Force all the "extras" (AC, seats, radio, windshield wipers, maybe blinkers etc.) to be controllable via a user-supplied module that might as well run on a consumer-grade electronics motherboard.

That way the part of the car that gets you from A to B gets to benefit from being self-contained and as optimised for emissions/performance as possible for the time the car was manufactured. The part of the car that merely provides comfort and convenience is something the users are free to monkey about with because it doesn't compromise any regulatory or safety standards.
Algolia (YC W14) Is Hiring a Developer Relations Engineer
There is some interesting research into this, also known as liquid democracy, if somebody wants to Google that. I'm personally not a big fan, because it's very difficult to organize it in such a way that there is not some form of mob mentality. Representative democracy has some downsides but it also has a lot of advantages that we simply take for granted.
But academia is better because your paper has your name on it and when the bias somehow resolves itself then people would know you were right, even though you might be dead by the time it happens.

People in academia are still humans and as you said they have biases but they also try to play the biases to elevate themselves.

However the cumulative look at a paper during the course of decades and centuries are bound to sniff BS and unmask it

This is different than say trading in financial markets where biases are always there and the issue never resolves itself, just companies and CEOs come and go.
Two Hard Things (2009)
Yeah, we have SOAP because... SOAP (just because of interoperability).

>It’s trivial with any parallax

Sorry, but evidently it is not trivial, since Tesla failed it.
Yes, definitely it is worth getting into. With your background it may be hard at first but you'll quickly start seeing what things are more so then even long-time crypto bros. In what role? Thats a bit harder.

For starters, lets pretend like you don't want to be a black hat, because thats a pretty poor way to make money. Not even sure if its lucrative.

For more serious work, either as a contractor or direct hire, there are only a few shops really worth working with/for right now. But they definitely exist. The challenge is their funding streams arent as steady as the market would make it seem. Although they may be doing swell right now they will definitely be hurting when the market turns again. Its a classic world of startups made complicated by even more volatility than the traditional market place for startups.

Despite what HackerNews may believe, this is definitely a space of innovation and future promise. Simply look the numbers, play with some of the major applications, compare it to its traditional variants, and make a judgment yourself. Its hard not to see the potential if you can look deeper than superficial comparisons.

If you really want to go through this route: Read the Bitcoin white paper, research some of the arguments for and against central banking, sound money theories versus lender of last resort and credit elasticity, and money as a memory theory. Then read the Ethereum white paper, play with Metamask and some Dapps, compare the pros and cons with your regular banking or finance experiences, and then start looking at some of the more complex systems and Dapps in the space like Uniswap, MakerDAO, AAVE, and others. At that point, you should have more than enough ammo to see the forest and the trees as you'd like.
Oh, being completely alone would raise far more questions than I'd like to think about. Terrifying? Perhaps, but definitely mind-blowing.
