Protests are great. Let's protest more and get changes made. But protesting against police injustice doesn't mean demonizing the entire profession.

I have to wonder, what is the scale of a train in Sweden? here in the states the vast majority of our locomotives are dedicated solely to freight.

Speaking from experience having worked on locomotive engines in the past, the sheer magnitude of US rail is difficult to comprehend. a fully loaded freight train can weigh north of 20,000 tons (18.14 million kilos). They can often times be nearly 2 (3.2km) miles long. and heres the reason "rail bikes" are illegal in the US:

they can take more than a mile (1.6km) to stop.
At my work, we have developped `loupe`, a Rust crate that does precisely that, https://github.com/wasmerio/loupe/. I'm the main author of it.

`loupe` provides the `MemoryUsage` trait; It allows to know the size of a value in bytes, recursively. So it traverses most of the types, and its fields or variants as deep as possible. Hopefully, it tracks already visited values so that it doesn't enter an infinite loupe loop.

We are using it inside Wasmer, a WebAssembly runtime.

But human resources may be able to retain some workers by offering as much flexibility as possible, says Cathy Moy, chief people officer at BDO USA, a financial services company.

It's not just flexibility or WFH. For many people it's about pay, policies, management, and a host of other issues, many of them well known but never addressed. Good luck to those firms who think the old HR playbook - making sympathetic noises while doing nothing about these other issues - will suffice.
The algorithmic flexibility is part of ‘common core’ which is in most US schools now. However the method teaching algorithmic flexibility is often forcing the kids to use each of the several algorithms and marking their answers wrong if they didn’t use the technique requested by a specific question.

>You're essentially saying that we're in some sense, better than, superior, to other animals. But, isn't that claimed superiority exactly the argument used to justify killing and even mistreating non-human animals?

You're confusing a certain kind of superiority (superiority in moral reasoning, for instance) with another one (the value of life). Humans are superior in the first respect (this is pretty uncontroversial), and I can't really think of any serious philosopher who argues that animals carry equal moral weight as a human. I'm sure they exist, though.

>Yet you say that "we can make complex decisions", as if those other animals can't? It's confusing. I appreciate I'm not talking to the same vegans all the time, but it's still, yes, confusing.

The evidence (and the interpretation of that evidence by biologists, neuroscientists, and philosophers) would point to the fact that humans are capable of moral reasoning to a higher degree than other animals, the conventional thought being that animals have no moral reasoning, though that's controversial.

The debate on the morality of killing animals for food where not necessary has very strong support for the moral vegetarian case[0], arguing from harm to animals, harm to humans, and harm to the environment; but I'd be interested to see if you have any counter-arguments, or rather, ones that haven't already been replied to.

Sadly these lessons are bot fully capitalized on. E.g. the German Armed forces are, in theory, best poised to serve a show case army for democracy and human rights. After all, we have the Nazis and East Germany as a military tradition on top of being a core NATO member. Instead of using that past to build a solid pro-democracy basis, the German Armed forces just declared both, the Wehrmacht and NVA (GDRs army) to be not part of current Bundeswehr tradition. Going so far as to remove exhibits from their internal museums. Such a missed opportunity, and it wont do anything against right wing ideology in the Bundeswehr. That so seems to be a lost cause. I remember one Air Force Lt.-Col. during a recruiting event saying, I paraphrase here, " if you show up here with an Antifa badge, maybe you shouldn't be here". I was quite shocked, hearing a senior German officer in 2018 having a problem with people being anti-fascist.

For what it's worth, this was my strategy living in a bigger city in the south. Local salaries are so egregiously out of line with the national US market that breaking into remote work a decade ago is easily, easily the best decision I've personally made.

At the time it was hard work and a bit of serendipity. At this point I already found a great remote job I have no desire to leave. It's wild that currently there is a deluge of recruiters from very large west coast companies trying to get me to join without any relocation. That's been a big shift in the past year.

It probably shouldn't be surprising that crime went up in a global pandemic and the resulting economic distress.

Cops do this all the time. They let people off with warnings, or just let it pass them by. There's immense discretion at the individual cop level on whether crimes should lead to an arrest.

Deep Dive on Critical Thinking
> Police are a necessary part of modern civilization. Full stop.

Are you sure? Lots of causes for crime (i.e. poverty) can't be solved by arresting or shooting people. I am convinced that part of the reason police reform is so difficult in the United States is that most people have never questioned neither the history of American policing (which started as slave patrols in many states), nor the necessity for heavily-armed police at all.

> If they have no repercussions for bad actions, then implement them.

This is not so easy, when both of the parties with political control in the U.S. receive donations from the prison industry...

EDIT: Lastly, in reference to your original point, the argument that police officers are being simply "demonized" is missing the bigger picture. Police aren't individual actors - they protect each other, even when they have crossed a line. And it's all by choice.

We've hired a couple of entry-level developers during COVID, and they've thrived in a remote work environment.

The big reason for this, I think, is that the whole team is remote. Since everyone communicated via zoom, and everything is coordinated online, they can slip into the team seamlessly.

I think the upcoming blended teams are going to make this more difficult. My org, like most, is pushing for two days in the office, three days remote, but a few of our hired are geographically distant, so they will always be remote.

I'm worried that they're going to start to feel isolated from the team.
Good for you, I hope this is a new journey of self-reflection and recharging for your next adventure.

You're on a discussion board filled with software developers and tech employees generally. The vast majority of such workers make a lot of money.

Seriously? Server and especially channel admins using their privileges to moderate the contents on their network is a decades old concept - with the debates on power abuse and the limits of "free speech" being as old.

I dont understand. The entire point is to tune the sight to the range where the other trench is. How the hell would shooting in a random direction do anything useful other than tell the enemy where you are.
Maybe my imagination isn't up to snuff here, but I'm imagining not an active firefight, but a sleepy waiting game in the trenches.

Why can't you have the situational awareness that nobody is there just by looking with your eyes? Are you saying that risk of shooting objects on your enemy's side and giving away your position is lower than the risk of accidentally shooting someone on your side when firing at a rock in an open field? It just... doesn't make any intuitive sense to me.

> A "gap year" as an adult can make you radioactive to potential employers.

I'm not sure where you got this idea in your head but it is demonstrably false in tech right now.

I took a gap year after getting fired from an extremely toxic company. I didn't want to rush into a new role right away after such an awful experience.

Once I was ready to go back it took ~1 month to go from starting my search to signing an offer letter. I interviewed at a large range of companies and was pretty picky after my previous experience.

My apply -> interview rate was consistent with what it had been in the past, and nobody cared about either my being fired or taking time off.

> trying to get a job when you're unemployed is literally 10x harder than while employed

The only thing that changed for me interview wise was that I was much pickier after not having to work for an organization for such a long time.

The rest of the interview is much easier since you have much more time to do things like practice for coding interviews, doing take home work etc.

On top of all that, because I was so grossed out from looking at linkedin during that time, I've never bothered update my profile, and I still get the same constant stream of recruiters reaching out even though it looks like I'm still unemployed.

In retrospect I wish I had had the sense to just quit earlier. Very often interviewing when you're employed at a place you are not happy with makes you too eager to find someplace else, making you more likely to ignore warning signs during the interview.
They presumably had existing supply agreements in place. Some companies would've expected demand to increase due to everyone being at home during the pandemic and planned accordingly.
For my part, I am guessing none of this is really in HR's hands.

The conversations I'm having in my social sphere tend to be something to the effect of how the past year has really made it clear how dysfunctional their company's team social dynamics are. And it's often not something you can expect anyone to ever fix, because that sort of thing is largely driven by senior management.
If that's case, I can hardly take Hinduism as a religion. If the burden is on an individual to discover and accept his/her own truths rather than blindly accepting beliefs, then isn't this the same as any secular belief system? Secular people also emphasize on one's own and discover truths themselves to make up of their own belief system.
That’s a good question, even if I disagree slightly about the premise, as random large open-source products targeting consumers (as opposed to infrastructure projects like Linux kernel) can dramatically vary in quality.

My hypothesis: devs are much closer to users, as they are often users themselves, and have more freedom to work on fixing broken experiences, as opposed to just rolling new features.
I don't agree. And you're looking at this from a very anglo-centric point of view. This will open doors for french-speaking Africans to work for French companies. For Brazilians working for Portugal etc.

I've worked with skilled developers from all over the world, who speak more than good enough English.
I'm afraid I take issue with your "ask your boss to pay" statement.

As someone who has been involved with running small businesses, I can tell you that "the boss" very quickly gets annoyed with employees who nickle & dime their employer and try to get "the boss" to pay things that the employee should be paying for.

Sure if a piece of software, hardware or a service is an essential part of your work (e.g. mobile phones for field engineers) then it should be paid for in an appropriate manner by "the boss" (or a suitable alternative provided, e.g. company phone). No question, no argument.

But frankly, ad-blockers or other non-essentials ? Forget about it. Being a "good boss" includes being able to draw a line in the sand somewhere. A "bad boss" is one who thinks "the company" can pay for everything "just because" is doing the themselves, their employees and their company a disservice. Businesses are not charities and everyone should be doing their bit to keep overheads in control.

Not only that. But in some jurisdictions the local tax authorities will make taxation differentiation between items that are of demonstrable business needs and those that are not. This tax differentiation may not only impact the business itself, but your own personal tax situation too.
These are all good points and I agree with them, but I don’t understand where the quote came from and whether you are making a case for or against the gold standard.
