That's a little extreme. Walgreens may shut down in SF, but some local business will step in to fill the demand and they'll likely use techniques like the parent suggested. Either way, I don't think you will "just not be able to shop in San Francisco".
There is an enormous supply of workers who don't want social and political issues in the workplace, but silently acquiesce because saying anything gets you branded negatively and quickly canceled. It doesn't matter if you agree but prefer keeping it out of the workplace; you must either support the woke brigade or keep your mouth shut.

>If the employer doesn't like my demands, they are free to try to find someone else, and the process works the same in both cases.

That's not the problem though. The problem is that your political advocacy causes problems with your co-workers, not your employer. If you have political activism at the work place then you're possibly making the workplace hostile for people who disagree politically with you. You might never hear about it, especially if you're in the majority, but you're still turning people off.
You’re both right. As a member of a company one is to further the mission of the company but it’s based on an agreement that in exchange for that, you and the company come to an agreement on compensation.

> The result is that 74% of plastic beverage containers in Canada are recycled

"Canadians dispose of about 3.3M tonnes of plastic each year [...] almost 50% of which is packaging. Well over 75% currently goes to landfills, a small proportion is incinerated and about 1% ends up directly in the environment. Only 9% — or 305,000 tonnes — is recycled, the 2019 study found." [1]

Seems rather misleading to focus on one region's moderate success with beverage containers when there have been such massive failures with larger issues, no? It's not like the problem was even unforeseeable [2].

That survey result has very little to do with the assertion that there is such a social pressure. All it implies is that respondents think it would be nice if there were.
This is a marvelous book coauthored by one of the SICP coauthors. In contrast to SICP its focus is on math more than programming, and it aims at exploring math more than covering a curriculum for a course.

In Logo's heyday there were several other fine Logo books -- like Brian Harvey's Computer Science Logo Style, and one whose title I'm forgetting, by several authors, billing itself as for a particular Logo implementation but with lots of rather interesting projects like a basic proof assistant.

At least you can melt butter. I have seen recipes that measure bananas in cups. How can I measure a cup of banana?

Also, how many measuring cups should I keep in my kitchen? You cannot measure oil with a cup and then measure flour with the oily cup. Going from flour to sugar? No, measure sugar first and flour second to avoid contaminating the sugar. I need to spend spend too much mental energy trying to measure everything with a cup without having to wash and dry it 10 times in between.
> I never realized how sheltered and weak Americans were

People are people. I would try to view it through the lens of power dynamics and in-group signaling rather than weakness/strength.
Well.

You obviously have the freedom to not air your views.

You have at-will employment in a lot of the US, so employers can fire you for any reason (except for some exceptions), or without a reason . I don't think this is a good thing, but there you are. This is a freedom for the employer.

If you have a right to a platform (i.e to not be deplatformed), that obviously limits the freedom of the ones supplying the platform.

So all of those points are actually freedoms, just not for the one being fired or deplatformed (the first point, freedom to be quiet, is obviously a freedom for the one keeping quiet. Maybe you meant something else?).

I think a large part of it is that the standard form of recipes is designed for commercial kitchens, not for home cooking. In a commercial kitchen, you'll have one recipe that has been finely tuned, with the ingredients pre-selected, and the goal is to follow that recipe. The long list of items is useful for prep work, because that lets you know how to set up the station for making that particular dish. But for home cooking, your ingredients are already chosen, and the goal is to make a dish out of them.

This is also why the prep time is so unrealistic. It assumes that you already have your onions finely minced, your garlic peeled, your oven heated, and your portions measured. The only time when that's a useful measurement is if somebody already did all the prep work early that morning, and you need to know how many cooks to have covering the dinner shift. If you're cooking at home, then the relevant time is how long it will take including the prep work and measuring.
It's hard to reason about this, because in a way the app store situation is unprecedented. The best analogy I can come up with is a private road connecting half the people in the country: Of course you're happy that the private road exists and the amenities it offers. Companies can connect with customers, people can connect with each other. On the other hand, the road owner now has full control over the infrastructure and dictates prices and conditions.

In this situation, building your own roads is probably unfeasible or just not possible because there is no land available. So now you're at the whim of the owner. Should the road owner be allowed full control over what can be done on the road and how much it costs because it built the roads in the first place, even though it has become an indispensable part of everyone's lives, thus granting the owner immense power over everyone's lives and livelihoods? By the way, the same argument applies to FB, Google, Twitter and others. I think the individualist, wild west attitude of the US is going to hurt humanity in the long run. Our society needs to figure out a way to deal with the fact that we are granting private companies powers over people's lives beyond mere monetary value.

Ask HN: How to get a job as a software engineer?
I know this question has been asked x^N times but now I’m set on the path.

I have become relatively comfortable with JavaScript and Node. Can do basic scripting with Python and starting to dig into Java to have at least one lower level language. I’m a beginner in all of these but I feel like I am finally comfortable enough with code to start contributing to open source and building on my own.

I’m 27 with an analytical science PhD who would have enjoyed a CS degree.

That said my current aim is to start as junior at a company I admire. More Stripe than Big4 but I understand the former is a stretch.

Outside of the soft skills track, what’s the bes dev decisions I can make today to be hired 1 year from now as a software engineer at a respectable high fidelity company?

Also interested in thoughts re committing to Java or picking up FP Haskell/Clojure.

Appreciate anyone who will take the time to answer the oldest question in the book.

Currently going through Cracking the Coding Interview. It’s thought but I feel like it hits the necessary fundamentals.

I'm not sure where we go from here, but not being able to escape anxiety-inducing situations in a workplace is the definition of a toxic work environment. I don't think the answer is a return to 20th century "no politics at work," but at the FAANG I worked at, politics was impossible to avoid. Even the desire to be apolitical is itself criticized at worst and not respected at best. Work doesn't afford the use of the "block user" button. I hope we figure out a better way that respects some people have a hard time immersing in it the way others do.
Nikon FE2. Wonderful little(-ish) SLR that still produces better images than my smartphone. This camera, and I suppose film photography in general, has led me to set down and eventually sell my DSLR out of disuse.

I ended up picking up a Sony A7III, which is technically a very excellent camera, but when I want to have a little more fun, I always reach back for the Nikon.

The problem in SF is peculiar. Lots of the crime isn't by locals, but by opportunists from San Mateo or Alameda, etc., they’re not dumb. They know San Mateo county does not play the same game as SF, so they come in and go unimpeded.

The useless SF DA is at great fault here. The cops don’t want to spin their wheels when they know anything below ~$950 doesn’t get prosecuted. And in addition the DA, having felon parents, has a soft spot for criminals. SF bought that whole sale because voters have been made believe the way to turn criminals into productive members of society is to say, “pretty please” and they believe they just haven’t said please nicely enough. Well here we are now.
It is really tough to draw conclusions until you have spent every moment of your life with a very young child. Initial interests/behaviors and the intensity of those interests/behaviors are most often gender centered. I am talking 10mo+.

At this age they have had very little social interaction/pressure and begin to behave in very gender specific ways. To ignore biology in this case seems short sighted especially in the context of evolution and every other mammalian species on the face of the earth. I can point out the boys and girls in a litter of puppies at 4 weeks. They just behave differently.

( Again, so I don't get flamed, this is not a 100% statement because biology is distinctly individual but the tendency significantly overwhelming ).

I think sincerity is a short hand to cut through partisanship. You believe what you believe sincerely, likely because you find it backed in truth / agreeing with your morals and best intentions. If we assume all humans generally back their sincere beliefs because they find them truthful / backed by their values, the conclusion is that you either have different information or different morals.

You can either assume everyone who disagrees with you is evil or stupid, or you can probably more accurately recognize that someone who disagrees with you, especially if they also live in America, has access to just as much info as you, has access to similar resources, probably isn’t evil: so the conclusion is that they are acting in good faith but with different morals.

Sincerity is a short hand for the fact that most humans are intelligent like you, and most humans in your proximity have access like you, and arent evil, so the result is that they are much more similar than you than you think but with different experiences.

It means you can cut through to the root questions instead of using far worse shorthand’s than sincerity - like “they voted the other way so they much be evil and hellbent on destroying my way of life”.
I'm skeptical too, and I wouldn't gamble on a strategy that wasn't tested during the clinical trials.

In terms of carbon footprint, coffee (as a low gram-per-serving product) is probably low.

For example, I consume ~200g/week of coffee (10kg/yr), all of which would be shipped in 25kg bags from the producing locale to my local roastery. The shipping carbon impact would likely be easily offset by a single consumer item purchased from overseas
I was also thinking of passenger pigeons, but I suspect that - rather than any special prevalence of passenger pigeons specifically - the actual conclusion to draw from that is that 50B globally is a tiny number compared to what biomes there were previously.

Please elaborate on that bug. The rust function I provided replaces "select, *" correctly with "select, _". Is that not what it was supposed to do? I checked that it works with empty arrays, arrays with one entry, etc...

Thinking about it, this version boils down the logic to its barest essence:

fn test(input: &mut [&str]) {

let mut was_select = false;
for i in input.iter_mut() {
if was_select && *i == "*" { *i = "_"; was_select = false; }
else { was_select = *i == "select"; }
}
}

It runs in 5.5 nanoseconds per iteration, which is just absurdly fast. That's about 200x faster than your K version!

What I like about this Rust version is that it reflects the approach that for a computer processor is optimal, yet it is high-level and readable. I could convert that "test" function easily enough to a generic "replace" function similar to a string search & replace, but one that can operate on any mutable iterator with the maximum possible efficiency, not just arrays.

Then, your K code that requires "careful reading" to slowly tease apart the meaning could be converted to a form that is practically prose:

let mut input = ["select", "*", "bar", "potato"];
replace( &mut input, &["select", "*"], &["select", "_"] );*

Sorry, my description of that one was a bit vague. The error I had in mind wasn't using `position: absolute` to anchor the button, but rather in not thinking about the offset parent.

As an example, if your goal is for the button to appear over the right-side inner box ("hero content") here:

+-------------------------------------------+
|+----------+ +---------------------------+|
|| nav | | hero ||
|| | | (x) ||
|| | | ||
|| | | ||
|| | | ||
|| | | ||
|| | | ||
|| | | ||
|| | | ||
|| | | ||
|| | | ||
|| | | ||
|+----------+ +---------------------------+|
+-------------------------------------------+

...then you should make that button either a direct child of that hero content (and give that container `position: relative` to make it the offset parent), or if that's not semantically acceptable, then add a new container around the hero content which will match its size/position and serve as the button's offset parent.

Otherwise, if you just let the outer container be the offset parent because it happens to place the button in the same spot in the moment, then later when more content gets added to that container, you'll end up with this:

+-------------------------------------------+
|+----------+ +---------------------------+|
|| nav | | header ||
|| | +----------------------(x)--+|
|| | +---------------------------+|
|| | | hero ||
|| | | ||
|| | | ||
|| | | ||
|| | | ||
|| | | ||
|| | | ||
|| | | ||
|| | | ||
|+----------+ +---------------------------+|
+-------------------------------------------+

...where the button is no longer over the correct box, because it was never anchored to it correctly in the first place (instead, it was anchored to that outermost container).

But your workplace is full of politics. Are you not allowed to use GPL dependencies? Do you get bonuses paid in stock options? Is there a senior developer that takes no input from new hires as a general rule? Does your boss get paid a lot more then you? Are parents allowed flexible work hours? Are more and more positions being filled in low paying areas? Does your company sell software to the American Military? to ICE? Does it have manufacturing in the occupied Palestinian territories?

Leaving politics outside of the office is simply not possible.
