My understanding was always that self grew out of smalltalk? But I suppose the jit work in particular was developed for/in self?

It's a bit more complex than that, in that the constitution guarantees a republican form of government. In reality, those who oppose republican forms of government will push for these compacts and they are in a minority, so there aren't enough electoral votes to make this relevant and actually trigger the compact, but if it were to be triggered, you'd bet that there would be some constitutional challenges.
It's ridiculous. You can go through a couple screens, 5 coding interviews, and the end is just a "no" due to liability reasons. Literally zero information about why you didn't get an offer or if you were even close.
But they'll pay you 4x more than the smaller, better run companies. That's why people still want to interview with them.
I never, ever, ever give anyone a number until the salary negotiation stage of the interview (ie. after I've been given a job offer), and even then I only give the company a number as a counter to their offer. I always do this negotiation myself, and never let anyone else negotiate for me.

Almost all recruiters have been fine with that, but a couple haven't. To such people I wish a good day and go my own way. There are plenty of other recruiters in the sea.
Hardly feels like the court system works when it's impossible to actually recoup damages. Don't see how our justice and court systems can justify being the sole arbiters when the results so often suck ass.
I remember seeing that movie in the 90s, it was terrible. Ripe for MST3K terrible.
Holy cow. I had no idea this existed, but it's amazing in a terrible way.
The humanitarian point is problematic, I will admit, but Chinese humanitarian violations are much more dangerous.

They seek to set a precedent for an Orwellian nightmare across the whole world. As a citizen of an ex-communist country (who was thankfully born after that era), I am keenly aware of how dangerous an extensive surveillance, censorship and propaganda network can be. They stifle thought, and in China's case, I am afraid that this time it will work. They have the track record. The West (or let's face it, those keen to join in with the US militarily - and not all of the West participates) might have killed people, but China wants to kill independent thought. This is the one principle that I consider near-sacred. Without our free will*, what are we as a species? I know my view is extreme, but China is doing nothing to reassure the West that it's not actually planning on doing that.

I did not mean to suggest that they are merely copying, on the contrary. My point is that they bootstrapped their own understanding and manufacturing of the technology, and then took it much further and in a different direction to the West. It's not a bad thing as such. It just means that they got the Western "tech tree" (for lack of a non-video game analogy), recognised the value of what they are holding, then made it their own and did honest work to build upon it. The same likely happened with the space station. Even if the current one is more Russian than Chinese in its design, you can be sure that this ratio will rapidly shrink in favour of Chinese designs and expertise.

* Yes, I know there are debates about whether it's actually free. I'm talking about the apparent effect.
Semi-serious question, asking for an indeterminate person:

If your desired comp number actually is $1M/year, will that just flag you as a joke to Triplebyte companies? With post-pandemic stock price increases a lot of engineers at FAANGs are making more than that now.
Aye, but now they have email addresses for hundreds of thousands of engineers along with a reasonable metric for their capability.

That's worthwhile.
Exactly, I don't understand all this moaning. You're only doing this every some years, you might as well try to optimize it rather than be picky, because it can make a big difference both career and compensation wise.
Idiotic HR does not correlate in any way with a worse or better company, at least in my experience.
you definitely can use it to learn about threats or to find shelter or food
Isn't this just.... inflation? Amazon is worth N Billion dollars, rent is expensive, food is expensive and workers are thinking that maybe working one of the worst jobs available to them isn't worth $15h.

Yeah, I've never encountered the social behavior the author describes. In my experience, people walk when the escalator happens to be clear ahead of them, and stop behind the next cluster of standers. I've never seen standers make an effort to stay to one side. So walking is just an opportunistic and limited benefit to the system. Perhaps its regional.
They have charisma. Charisma is mind control. I'm pretty convinced that charisma can literally override the rational mind.

I've seen some pretty amazing examples of charismatic people spewing absolute nonsense with the audience hanging on every word like they are a genius. Put far more interesting ideas in the mouth of someone with no charisma and they are ignored.

Humans are merely clever. We are not truly intelligent.
Ask HN: Why is installation directory on Windows so weird?
What I don't understand about some Windows software, is that why they can't keep everything under one folder, but have to scatter around.

For example, VS2019 has its extensions installed in Appdata/Local/Microsoft/VisualStudio/Version/Extensions. What is mnore obscure is the QT extension I just installed. I have to locate a qmake.exe and somehow the extensions doesn't know where it installed itself. It has been more than 30 minutes and I'm still in the process of locating the file and searching on Google to find a solution.

The point is, why?
It's straightforward/trivial to excel over coworkers (even those on stimulants) at most jobs.

Regardless, this idea that one needs to "keep up", as if work were a competitive footrace, is something you have invented.

What exactly are the typos?

Which paragraph is repeated?
Request for forgiveness. - Nothing here either.

Well, I personally think asking for forgiveness is manipulative and shitty behavior. An apology should be about doing right by someone you wronged, not closing with "And last but not least: What's in it for me?!"

If they forgive you, coolios. Though it might take them more than five minutes just like it took apparently months for this apology to happen, so they don't need to promptly give you a fucking pat on the head like we give five year olds a cookie to reward desired behavior or some crap.
I know 3 of them. They only receive responses from jobs similiar to, but not actually software dev. Basically tech support jobs but you have to know the basics of a windows/bash command line. No dev work involved.

Companies advertise they're hiring. Like they advertise that they're profitable, make the best products, and are better than their competition. That doesn't mean it's true. Many positions are "nice to have", so they will stay there until they get someone with far more experience on paper than they actually need - someone willing to get paid less of course.

People lie, especially companies. That's the nature of the market. Even if we had 5x the devs than employers, employers would still say otherwise. This is because more competition between applicants means you can pay people less.

Infact even during the dotcom boom my sister actually got a degree in "web development", and nobody wanted anything to do with her. I don't know who comes out with these lies about "high demand" employment but so far all I've seen is confirmation bias by those already employed - ignoring all the rest of the people who can't get anywhere, leave it behind, and go work at something else.
Only, it's pennywise, pound foolish. One day in jail is cheaper than one day in rehab, but a month in rehab is cheaper than a lifetime of recidivism. So it's not genius marketing for people who genuinely want to keeps costs down, it's genius marketing for authoritarianisn.
Agree with you 100%. This chart is just barely scratching the surface
This is not quite true, Gödel's incompleteness theorems can luckily be formalized in extremely weak fragments of Peano arithmetic such as primitive recursive arithmetic (PRA) with its very limited induction principle. :-)

The only position on the philosophy of mathematics I know which does not accept PRA is ultrafinitism.

So they’re good for slow vehicles and bad for fast ones?
Precisely this. I did get the feeling that the appology was heartfelt. I also felt the appology failed to recognize the that the complaint was about a sustained set of issues and not a one time incident.

The lack of any discussion of what Fellleisen and Racket will try to do going forward was glaringly missing, particularly becuase Felleisen couldn't independently identify the mistakes that he made and required outside observers to understand where the person he bullied was comming from.

I feel like a lot of damage would have been minimized if there had been people in that meeting who had made clear how out-of-line the behavior was immediately so that Felleisen could have immediately addressed the issue and hopefully learned from it.

On the other hand, there are huge profits and motivators for money laundering. Ask HSBC, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Western Union, or Citigroup.
That’s correct. My girlfriend has issues with locks and stoves. She doesn’t trust herself but if I tell her it’s all good she has peace.

Since the Fed owns so much of its own debt, couldn’t it just decide not to repay itself the principal when those treasuries mature?
Seriously. People ache for feedback in low information environments. Good on yall for taking customer surveys seriously (even if the data underlying it isn't always clear) because enthusiasm, though noisy, is a strong signal.

I wouldn't charge for the service, however, unless building it as a freemium model.

^ Seriously? Downvotes?

What did I say which was wrong? Honestly thought it was a mildly interesting anecdote!

Sheesh! You people! :)
The candidate me likes cutting out some of the bullshit involved.

The hiring manager side of me on the other hand continues to remember that mishires are expensive. I've also very skeptical in that once a month some staffing agency comes along, tells us they have some fancy heuristic for matching good candidates to our jobs, and then unleashes a tsunami of mediocre leads into our recruiting database. They'll then proceed to act upset and surprised when we don't want to intervene sixty percent of them and most of those we do interview wash out. I guess TB can somehow promise that a certain baseline technical competence is present, but even that's of moderate value. If I really need a candidate who is skilled at X, I might be willing to sacrifice some skill in Y because I already have two engineers strong in Y. I never found TB sufficiently granular in how you configure the automatic screens to allow for that. Secondly, it's totally useless in soft skill assessment.

The cynic in me just sees a lot of this TB now trying to force you to expend internal resources to rank the unqualified people or people whose skill sets don't align with what you want (forcing you to respond with data on how you handled the application) because they can't crack the nut of doing it themselves. So they're going to leverage the customer's recruiting teams to code the data for them.
I have to disagree on this, because I had an experience as a solo founder 5 years ago, and I thought like you, that it would be easy to learn how to make sales prospection. That was a mistake, I found out not every skill can be mastered, especially the ones involving human skills and your own personality, and especially when you have to progress in a very few time.

I had the chance to work with someone specialised in this area and afterwards it looked obvious I needed help in this particular area.

> As an aside, I do understand why performance oriented languages like Rust choose the async/await path, as async by default carries a performance penalty / requires a runtime. I don't however accept it in non-performance oriented languages.

Ironically, I think Rust futures could be expanded into Go-like uncolored functions relatively easily without even much of a runtime. Since they're stack allocated by default, driving a future to completion is a matter of calling Future::poll in a while loop and handling the waker callback. I feel like the runtimes are there mostly to provide a unified interface to kernel APIs like io_uring/epoll/etc and ease ownership/task allocation.

She’d seen countless psychiatrists, psychologists, and counselors, she’d done all sorts of therapy, she’d taken every medication in the book, and none of them had helped.

Sounds like everything else had been given a fair shake to me.
I don't have a link but the NSA has a coloring book about cryptography that's in the public domain, since it was created by the government with tax dollars and has no copyright notice. I actually have a copy I've been meaning to scan, I'm just afraid of ending up on a list if I do. :)

> No one owes it to any of us to "put up" with how we treat them.

No, however we do owe it to ourselves to learn better how to push back on difficult people. It’s a form of self defense because difficult people, or people having a bad day and lashing out, are not going away.
Go really does do this better. Go is a green thread system.

In Rust, if you're actually doing any compute work, you're stalling out the async system. In Go, if you compute for a while, the scheduler will let someone else run. You can get all the CPUs working. This is well matched to writing web back ends.

Rust's "Async" seems to be designed for a very specific use case - a program running a very large number of network connections, most of which are waiting. If you're doing something where you need all available CPUs to get the work done, it's a bad fit.
I would probably take this down if it was me but I can also appreciate TB's radical transparency and putting themselves out there for public criticism.

Ever thought of building a recruiting recommendation software product, instead of just selling people? You have the data.

edit: I want to be more constructive with my feedback. You have four years of data on hundreds of thousands of candidates. I don't know what the legal implications are regarding using that stuff as training data, but.. embeddings. doc2vec. Thank me later.
The main things lacking are an acknowledgement of the pattern of bullying and a commitment to change.

I also remember having a lot of installation headaches when starting out as a developer because the preinstalled version conflicted with the version I was trying to install.

This seems like a net positive change to me and I hope they can keep dropping these built in languages.

Yes. Trading off hundreds of years of experience and judicial tradition and precedent for a brand new shiny (just trust us programmers) system.

If the former system were to be irretrievably corrupt, teetering on the edge of collapse, and the proposed replacement were capable of replacing it then it would be worthwhile.

The existing international financial system is corrupt, the judiciary in most of our world is complicit, but it is not on the edge of collapse (look how brilliantly it sailed through the 2008 crises. It used its political power to get the middle classes to bail out the super rich). The proposed replacement (cryptro currencies) has no support from cryptographers (I am not one) nor finance geeks (that I have been). It is even worse that that which it proposes to replace.

Additionally in most of the Western World we have the democratic institutions that can be put to use to fix the system. Economists are slowly coming around to recognising the catastrophic mess that the current system is, how it is sapping our vitality as a community, enriching the few (hi Unicorn founders - fly to Mars please) and impoverishing the middle classes.

We can fix this. But we have to give up on single fixes (like crypto). This requires modern system thinking....

> Current headlines use the broad statistics, such as the most exclusive unemployment stats, that don't really capture what's happening on Main Street.

You probably know this, but just to clarify economics has many more complicated statistics than those that make it into newspaper headlines. For example, the "unemployment number" is technically U1. U2, U3, U4, etc. capture different nuances.
Reverse repo is when the Fed loans treasuries to banks, typically at very low rate and no more than one day. This avoids the need for the Fed to sell its short term treasuries on the open market.

coming from a programmers mindset, my immediate reaction was "this seems like a hack, whats the root cause of the issue, we should fix that instead"...

i wonder what us the root cause? or in economics, i guess its never so straightforwards...?

Are all the people saying "hold it, we will get rich!!!" on Reddit joking? I honestly can not tell, but I'm not sure it's not a parody up to this day.

I mean, there are some people there basically saying "yeah, I brought $0.10 worth of it, now I just have to wait until I'm a millionaire", even those I can't decide if they are joking or not.
That looks so shady... It has a very 2017 ICO feeling. A lot of buzzwords, a stupid name "AQUA" "BluePlanet" "RedPlanet", a bunch of extraordinary and unfounded claims, etc. Reminds me of a "Amfeix" scam that was all the rage in the crypto circles a couple of years ago. It was even advertised in "reputable" crypto pages.
I don't know that they really deserve credit for not testing for marijuana. It increases their potential pool of hires and saves them money. Add to that the fact that a positive test for marijuana doesn't necessarily indicate that you would ever be in any way impaired on the job, and it feels more like a rational business move than a good social policy.
The point is if you're in power it's more important to not behave badly than if you're not in power.

It's also easier in some ways, because you can get help from experienced outsiders who have a stake in your success and you can afford to experiment with improvement methods without getting fired. There are ways in which it's harder, such as if employees are too scared to tell you when you're being nasty.
Codes of conduct are good for more nuanced cases; if you’ve got behavior that would fall under a very generic “don’t be an asshole” type rule, the problem you’ve got is an enforcement issue not a documenation issue.

What more can a person do? Just off the top of my head:

He could have addressed the full substance of the blog post, which was a pattern of "inten­tional, person­al­ized abuse and bullying" with "inci­dents were numerous, happening over a period of years".

He could have used this incident to reflect on his broader behavior not just toward this one person but more generally.

He could have talked the steps he was taking to make sure he did less harm in the future.

He could have asked for forgiveness.

He could have offered to make amends to Matthew Butterick, to repair the relationship.

He could have recognized that this harmed not just Butterick, but the broader community around the project. He could ask that community for help identifying other times he was abusive. He could apologize for that too and work to make amends there as well.

He could have addressed this bit: "Nor did any member of Racket’s core team hold him to account. Everyone just shrugged and moved on. I was encour­aged to do the same." In particular, he could recognize that he was part of a social structure that not only accepted abusive behavior but actually enabled it.

Once recognizing that, he could work to change the system such that abusive behavior was no longer tolerated.

And that's off the top of my head.
