By that view, does anyone expect "basic decency"?

For example, I could say that I expect "basic decency" to not kill each other. But I also support having a law making murder illegal. As part of that law, you have the possibility of people being jailed, possible for months are years, before we even get to a court case. They may be able to pay a large fee to get back to their daily life (while part of the money is sometimes returned, there are plenty exceptions to this). Then you get to the court case, where people are expected to spend days in courts and small fortunes on lawyers to prove they didn't murder someone. Lots and lots of lawyers and paperwork and record-keeping, not to mention the costs to an innocent individual wrongly accused. Good luck getting any payments to make up the debt you incurred.

Yet as a society we accept that we have to do things the legal way because just the expectation alone does nothing to stop bad people. As such the concept of "basic decency" is completely gone from the modern world, so I think it is safe to give it a new definition which includes the enforcement of a legal framework.

As of today, I've been on Reddit for ten years. Here's what I've learned
It's sad to say, but there's a strong correlation between "good programmer" and "formats things in fixed width using ``` in slack".

Tailwind UI is the paid version, Tailwind components the free version (has some gems, but irregular quality and not a consistent design system)
The idea is you plot into a one time programmable thing either at the factory or on first use (so single die, multiple values).

That said it needs to be cheaper than HD, as the SSD is apparently only used to build the plot, so maybe impractical indeed.

Curious that the plotting hasn't already moved to DRAM, apparently 256GB is needed to build a plot which is not too wild on server-class computers.

You mentioned a sequence of steps, it's pretty good but I would always say start with the customer and their needs not your idea. Put the customer at the center.

As you probably know most businesses operate off of this structure. Customer wants a result so they use a mechanism(your idea or business).
Focus on the finding a result that a customer wants that you can offer. Another way to look at it is customer, problem, solution, offer.

Also you don't have to raise capital if you don't want to. You could have customers pre-pay for your MVP before it's finished this also helps validate if people will buy your product/service.

What do you like about induction cooktops?
I don't think anyone is entitled to an unlimited supply of their drug of choice from the state. but I do think they are entitled to a relatively safe supply of their poison, free from dangerous cuts (fentanyl, levamisole, etc.) and the threat of violence (from either the state or the seller). if they die, so be it. that was always a possibility.

beyond that, it becomes a cost-benefit analysis for the rest of us. unlike gambling or sky-diving, drugs of abuse are pretty cheap to manufacture. it might be cheaper to just give people drugs than to deal with the constant petty theft perpetrated by addicts. or it might not be, who knows?
The bank may be requiring the survey but you are paying for it. If not directly then at least in a very clear indirect way.
Very true. Atari did it deliberately with their devs. Probably to their detriment: Having big name devs with their own brands would only have brought more attention to the market. Who cares if they make they own game studio? Atari would still get royalties on cartridges sold.

With today's game studios though, they aren't the platform owner, so a game dev with a personal brand branching off to do their own thing is still a net loss for them. I wonder if they have rules in place about that sort of thing. I could even take the appearance of something benign & reasonable: "No one talks to the press, everything to the press comes out of PR & marketing"

If that's the case, there may very well be a dozen Carmacks in the big dev studios that made something seemingly impossible happen, and without whom their games would simply have died, or been flops.

Then again with that level of fame, failures hit the individual quite a bit harder than the dev teams as well. Look at someone like Warren Spector, Richard Garriot, or Dennis Dyack. I might read each of their examples as situations where their singular influence on their games and rise to fame ultimately lead to their failures & blame as well. It created a lot of pressure (somewhat self-imposed to be sure) to do something bigger & better each iteration that they eventually couldn't keep up. A situation made worse along the way by financial backers giving them too much money to develop, meaning the devs didn't have to think as critically about what to include and what to prune from games. It lead to games that were a mess of shiny features or broken promises lacking a solid core. Fame cuts both ways.
Nothing to do with Japan and Japanese, but in my experience the way that consontants sound in most English accents makes them hard to identify correctly for most non-native English speakers.

And the same goes for French also - except in French the vowels also are weird. But now that I think of it, actually, so do the English vowels. "eoouhw" for "o"? What?

Other European languages have idiosyncratic pronounciations of consonants, and Danish in particular is unpronounceable and undecipherable by anyone but the Danish (Source: my friend learns Danish and says the Danish have telepathy, which is apparently a standard joke in other Scandinavian countries with languages derived from Old Norse. Also :P).

What makes English consonants sound weird to my Greek ears is the way they are always a bit... airy? An "r" is an "aahh'r". An "s" is an "ehssss". A "d" is a "dheeh". And so on. In Spanish, "r" is "RRRR", "s" is "SS" and "d" is "D'". And so it is in Greek and in Italian also. And in most Balkan or slavic languages, etc. The Germans say "krchhh'" when they want to say "r" but OK, it's German, they don't mean you no harm. The French say "erggh'", I guess, I can't really do it justice in writing. But try imagining how it is to be a native of a non-Indoeuropean language and trying to understand the airy consontants and drawn-out vowels of English. Hell. Or, well... 'eohll.

Speaking of the French, guys, I speak French since I was 2 and I also speak English. I assure you, they are not supposed to sound the same. Please believe me.

(big :p in this comment, OK?)
I'm not sure it will, though, except in specific cases.

For now, it looks like the progress has mostly been:

mechanical -> electrical -> optical (/RF)

For good reason too: reliability, integration, and energy efficiency. We're a bit stuck on electrical for now as integration is slightly better, electrons being smaller than photons, and it seems to be more suited for power transmission and conversion, at least for now.

Basic principles haven't changed much though, and it's always interesting to understand those. There is just the "field" concept that can be tough to understand.
Most of the non-technical people I know buy an Apple TV or Roku and get confused when they sit on the tv remote and accidentally bring up the smart tv netflix instead of the Roku netflix. Ignoring the privacy concern, the dumb TV is a better option for those who are going to buy an Apple TV, chromecast, or roku anyway.

From the wal-mart website, it looks like the 55" Sceptre is dumb but the 65" is smart. When I bought my 65" tv earlier this year, I couldn't find a dumb tv that fit all of the specs I wanted so I compromised and got a vizio (simple, chromecast based smart tv) and just never connected it to wifi. It doesn't seem to nag me about the smart features or connecting it to the internet at all
There is the risk of impermanent loss with providing liquidity and the risk of the underlying asset. Thinking this is anything like a bank account is a big mistake.
I get why companies are increasingly focusing on referral hiring. it lets you sidestep so much compliance.
If you can use an editor like Inkscape to flatten the image (by recursively ungrouping until every path is under the top-level <svg> tag), you should have a bunch of paths that share a coordinate space. There are pathological cases like images that use CSS for positioning, but for most cases this will work.

Then you can use something like svgpathtools (https://github.com/mathandy/svgpathtools) in Python to loop over the paths and get the coordinates.

In case it's useful, I have an example svg to gcode converter here: https://github.com/paulgb/penkit/blob/master/penkit/polargra...

It is for driving a polargraph-style plotter, so it includes a coordinate transform that GP does not need to do.
This. Externalities need to become accounted for when we want to completely evaluate the cost of an activity.

Just because those companies or us as individuals don't need to pay for the future damage, doesn't mean that cost doesn't exist, and by not accounting the externalities, the consumption of said products is incentivised since they become "cheaper" than alternatives that are presented to the end user with a higher cost.
Unless I'm mistaken, a subject is missing from this course: media queries. It is briefly mentioned int the "Grid layout" chapter, because one can build a responsive row/column by using functions like `minmax()`, but there are many cases where media queries are still needed. Outside of this course, web.dev has several articles about this.

As a Coloradan another thing that's happening is companies are listing their jobs as Remote, only advertising in CO, and just mentioning it's a CO only job verbally. They do the thing where they sit in the gray area due to pandemic "Oh, it's remote, FOR NOW, but it's a CO job" Or listing the job as Denver and a few other cities, but it's really just Denver/Boulder (Twitter currently doing this).

Another pattern is listing the range as 40-250k so the disclosure is effectively nothing. Consulting companies Accenture, PwC, Deloitte are doing that one.

A few companies are completely rejecting this whole law too. I've spoken with a few that still won't disclose (usually "We aren't CO based and it doesn't apply") or they just straight up aren't doing it with no comment. Experienced many recruiters completely flustered by it.

Where is exactly is the line? I don't know and I'm not convinced that that's an interesting question. I'd say that it's significantly below bringing entire new country's worth of energy consumption online for a financial scheme.

Your argument is effectively that we can never call anything an irresponsible use of energy. With the background of global climate change, I very much disagree.

You already know the basics with HTML & CSS, so I would recommend focusing on vanilla JavaScript and Node.js while keeping an eye on Deno.

React and APIs are safe bets, but make sure you understand React in the context of JavaScript and not the other way around. If you want to set yourself apart, learn TypeScript and GraphQL. As for APIs, are you looking to consume them in a front-end application? Or build an API on the back?

It sounds like your focus is primarily front-end. If you want to go "full stack", go MERN. You can use MongoDB's cloud-based Atlas or real-time Realm for your database.

>Why is there always this pushback against "popsci explanations" in these threads?

because underneath all of the rhetoric about entrepreneurialism and "disrupting" thing tech (and by extension HN) is one of the most conservative and elitest communities that has ever existed. think about what people used to say about dynamic languages vs statically typed, about frontend vs backend, about sql vs nosql, etc etc etc. stodgy old engineers have always (and will always) resist the bar being lowered and newcomers being admitted.

edit:

what's funny is that the opposite response shows up, invariably, on posts that are very precise and technical. i.e. something like "this is too technical i wish mathematicians would accommodate us lay folk".
Designing Domain Events
Adam Argyle is awesome.

Good luck in a competitive field like tech.

Companies might not advertise salary ranges at a few big tech companies, but the vast majority of recruiters tell you the salary range as soon as you talk to them (or you name your price and they say "that will work"). I already totally ignore the bottom 75% of salaries.

The problem tech companies have is that many of them can be disrupted by a few motivated individuals, and there are always new opportunities for them. If you pay enough, you benefit from them. If you don't, somebody else does, or worse, they become new competition.
I bombed more interviews than I can remember, mostly when I was a senior chemical engineering major in college looking for a my first job (more than a decade ago). We had numerous companies come to campus to interview. Despite having grades towards the bottom of my class, I got interviews for most, but zero offers. (Well, I did get one offer eventually, at the very end of the spring, after most of peers had already locked up jobs in the fall).

In addition to my relatively weak grades, I attribute my failure to a lack of experiences, maturity, and confidence. The STAR interview method was big at the time (maybe it still is) and I had trouble with those. Possibly my peers were more prepared as they typically had relevant internship experience that they could draw on whereas I did not.

Some of the questions that I can remember struggling with:
- Give an example of a time you had to change direction on a project due to budget constraints.
- How do you handle ambiguity?
- Give an example of a time you solved a problem using common sense.

Eventually I was able to improve my interview performance by compiling every question I could remember or find in books on interviewing, and practicing my responses in the mirror over and over again until the answers came out naturally. I believe my grades were still a limiting factor, however.

Several years later I was interviewing for an energy trading position in Baltimore. They setup a call with me for what I thought would be a fairly run of the mill phone screen. Instead, there were two hiring managers on the lines who proceeded to ask me a number of statistical/quant questions that I was unprepared for and had to stumble through while sitting in a park without so much as pen and paper to help me reason through them. At the end of the interview, I asked for their e-mails so I could follow up. After a short pause, they said no, that they would be in touch with me. Of course, I never heard from them. Months later, I bought a book on Wall Street interview questions/answers and the first 2 or 3 were the exact questions, word for word, that I had been asked.

I think one reason why this is difficult for companies that are hiring software engineers, is that they can hire at multiple levels of experience. They just need good developers! A company that needs, say, a Golang developer, or Scala, or React, might be willing to hire a junior, mid-level or senior developer- they'll take whatever experience level they can get. Remember, saying that you don't want to hire someone too experienced is pushing the envelope on age discrimination laws....

So if they're willing to hire someone with 2-20 years of experience, the salary range may be so broad as to be meaningless. $80-180k doesn't really tell anyone anything, and I'd imagine regulators can't do much if that's what companies put down as their range. I find that a lot of people imagine an open job & job description to be Very Rigid Categories, whereas in practice companies hiring in high-demand fields have to be flexible to find people. From the employer's point of view, that's why we find demands for the salary range to be frustrating- lots of companies really don't have a specific range in mind!

If you mandate that companies use a tight salary band, they'll simply say OK, our Software Developer 1 pays $70-90k, Software Developer 2 pays $90-11k, etc. However- we haven't decided which level of software developer we're going to hire you for. Tough for regulators to beat that approach too
> You have to pay for the surveyor to find out any issues the house might have, and that means you can only view a few houses before you've paid the house price in survey fees.

How much are you paying for surveys? Even a full structural survey -- which would be considered over the top for most purchases -- should only cost £1,500 or so.

And you're not going to get any sort of survey for most of the houses you view. You only usually bother with one once you've made an offer and the vendor's accepted it: if the survey reveals anything significant, you either pull out or try to renegotiate the price.

I know the German OS research landscape pretty well and I can assure you that there were a large number of successful systems projects and good PhD theses which were not in any way related to L4. Of course, the groups for which L4 was fundamental (such as Hermann Härtig's TU Dresden group) had a natural focus on L4. But there is a lot of internationally renowned research in OS going on in Germany, I will only mention two examples, Wolfgang Schröder-Preikschat's group at FAU Erlangen and Frank Bellosa's group at KIT.

But I would certainly love to discuss your view of the research landscape further - for me, it is always interesting to get to know different views and insights. So if you are interested to talk about this, feel free to contact me directly.

Quotables

past:

As I got older, the holiday pomp of patriotic luncheons and bridge-playing rituals came to seem faintly ridiculous and even offensive, like an endless birthday party for people whose chief accomplishment in life was just showing up.

I came into many advantages by birth, but money was not among them.

present:

The meritocratic class has mastered the old trick of consolidating wealth and passing privilege along at the expense of other people’s children. We are not innocent bystanders to the growing concentration of wealth in our time. We are the principal accomplices in a process that is slowly strangling the economy, destabilizing American politics, and eroding democracy.

Our delusions of merit now prevent us from recognizing the nature of the problem that our emergence as a class represents. We tend to think that the victims of our success are just the people excluded from the club. But history shows quite clearly that, in the kind of game we’re playing, everybody loses badly in the end.
