Do they get paid the same though? I mean where I live, as an employee you have the RIGHT to work part-time if you want to - 40 hours is the norm, 36 is common (either one day off every two weeks or some manage to work 10h 4 days/week), some work 32 hours. But they get paid, vacation time, bonuses etc accordingly.

I went to 36 hours when I started my new job, but went back to 40 this year because I can manage with working from home, and because of the pandemic there were no pay raises last year - while cost of living is spiraling upwards because of rapidly increasing housing prices.
> Most retired people don’t just sit in front of the tv waiting to die

Citation? I'd like you to be right, but my subjective experience is that a lot of them pretty much do.
They have new challenges with new packages. In the last 5 years there entered a lot of rust packages for example, a new compiler to tackle reproducibility with (and not trivial, even if upstream has worked on it a lot).
Yes, it doesn't have credibility for what actually happens, but it can have credibility for what standards people / pop culture apply.

(And that's what my original comment talked about. Also, it's just a cute show.)
> The labor market is a buyer market. Demand is inflexible but supply keeps increasing on its own.

That's certainly not true. Since ~1930, the population in the U.S. has approximately tripled, and the average income has increased approximately 10 times (IIRC).

Income is not a pie that is divided up into smaller and smaller pieces. That's not how economics works at all. In fact, each new person produces more than they consume (otherwise, nobody would pay them), and they increase demand for goods, which increase demand for production.

> People get a degree to get ahead in the line, not because the degree is actually necessary.

What is the basis for that? I got a degree because it was both necessary, and because I wanted to understand the world better and have the best thinking skills I could get.
Where I live it is reasonably common to have housing co-ops in larger towns and cities. Rent is much more affordable because their goal is sustainability, not profit extraction.
With homomorphic encryption you could distribute a trusted platform for execution for execution on untrusted platforms; but you still need a trusted hardware platform on which to execute the initial compilation.

It'd be nice if there was some form of homomorphic compute analogue to public-key/private-key encryption to allow for IO channels, but I'm not sure if that's possible.

Somewhat uselessly, if ever you do actually find the bottom turtle, it's impossible to tell that it really is the bottom - and that holds true right down to the universe itself.
Not to contradict the Cardinal but your accounts have broken the site guidelines a lot more than the median commenter, and we really don't care about your views. Plenty of other commenters express similar views without getting banned. Actually we really, really, don't care. We're just trying to have an internet forum that doesn't suck.

It isn't about politeness, btw (let alone "faux" politeness) – you won't find that word, or that concept, in the site guidelines. It's about treating other people respectfully, and abstaining from garden-variety internet dreck. Let's not noble up the latter with self-flattering rhetoric.

Thanks for sharing! Your brand new account is off to a good start!
I think that the early versions of the Pascal compiler were writen so as to be bootstrappable on diverse systems. I believe you had to write a simple virtual machine to bootstrap the compiler. I cannot find a source for that, I heard it in compilers course.

This was more of a necessity than something done for verifiability though. Systems were more diverse back then and you couldn't just target "a Unix with a C compiler".
Here in Finland even the full-service 24h stations have automated self-service and that might even be most used option.
Yeah, I think I screwed up big time.

I'm really at a loss for how it came across as any kind of suggestion about something that might happen in the future (a key perquisite for anything to be a threat). Even that aside, for it to be a threat, that would somehow mean the original statement it was referring to was threatening people with critical thinking bells... that seems nonsensical to me.

So again: I definitely screwed up here, and I'm horribly embarrassed by it all, but I'm at a loss to see how this could have been interpreted as a threat of any kind. I'm really sorry that it was.
Didn't they launch a projectile into an asteroid not long ago as well?
> As a developer, it would be quite reassuring to build my binary (which I already do for testing) and compare the hash with the one from the CI server to confirm nothing has been tampered with.

That makes sense! However, this is not a good argument for reproducible builds, because you can already do that today.

You already have to build a trusted binary locally for testing right? You're dreaming of being able to compare that against the untrusted binary so that you can make sure it's a trusted binary too - but you already have a trusted binary!

Okay - but it's a hassle, you don't want to have to do that, right? Too bad - reproducible builds only work if someone reproduces them. You're still going to have to replicate it somewhere you trust, so you gained practically nothing.
Looks like the design was inspired by the old TimeCube site.
> I often don’t even know if someone is working that day until I reach out to them or slack

If you don't know if they're working, don't fucking slack them. How about you check their calendar or send an email.

Slack is not for asynchronous communication.

It's amazing how high and mighty people can be and then they ping people for non-emergencies while they're on vacation.
Colorado is seemingly gambling on other states to follow suit, since else this law will obviously keep having a negative impact on the residents of the state. It's insane how many job openings are excluding CO (especially big companies such as Accenture).

Web components are the future: how to do it with Angular
Yes I remember it from the Snowden days, that's why I mentioned it myself. But I don't get the threat model. So supposedly the NSA planted something in your device's firmware. How exactly would it help you if you could "see" the manufacturer's firmware (say it was open-source)? You still wouldn't know what's running on the chip. Even if you flash it, the chip could just be lying in some part of the process. Conversely, the entire firmware could be encrypted and you could still verify it (without knowing what it's doing) if the chip had an un-tamperable-with "dump out a hash of my firmware" instruction to let you match against the manufacturer's provided hash. Or an instruction to verify that its hash is what you expect in a manner that can't be tampered with. Either way, I don't see how your knowledge of the firmware that's supposed to be on it is necessary or sufficient.
Now that the moon is only 1px. Imagine all the super massive 40pt text staring at you from space.

No, each session is encrypted separately. Your connection to the wifi router is encrypted with a different session key than someone else’s connection to the same wifi network.

Fast food was what I knew off the top of my head, but this applies to all businesses with low margins and moderate customer-facing labor costs. They can't all just raise their prices to pay higher labor costs, because then the people getting paid more just have to pay more for everything as well, at least partially if not fully cancelling out the benefits.

Then there's the fact that raising prices will still lose fast food places customers: For every person not buying it because it doesn't fit their budget, there's someone who just barely fits it into their budget that will stop buying it when prices rise.

This isn't theoretical: Companies analyze the price elasticity of their customers and understand roughly how raising prices X% will lose them Y% customers, and the amount of revenue Y customers represent, and whether that is higher or lower than the revenue generated by X. I don't work in the food industry or retail, but I have run that analysis myself in my own field.

I'm all for a living wage, but simply paying low paid workers more & raising prices to cover it is by no means a complete solution. Raising minimum wages is a bandaid solution. (And I'm not saying we shouldn't do that-- only that it's short term, and we need more comprehensive answers)
Keep in mind that in the 'Trusting Trust' example, the compiler has to be smart enough to realize that you are building another compiler (and only then insert the backdoor). I can imagine that a back-doored GCC would recognize when you are building another GCC, but it would be hard for an old version of GCC to recognize eg a modern LLVM or even GHC, I'd say.

Similar, the lower down you go, the harder it is to put that kinds of smarts in.

That might be one reason to stop at this point? (Not sure.)
Something can be overvalued without being worthless. Also, the environment argument is inconclusive. Using a lot of power isn't the problem, it is how the power was generated and whether or not it was excess capacity
This is just a hunch, and obviously overly simplistic but I think the key phrase is investment in that a lot of infrastructure or policy action looks for tangible ROI and the people at the top either don't believe that it is there for these types of issues, or it doesn't fall within their ideology to help provide such things. And this is a total shame because society can benefit so much if we were able to look past the dollar sign as a measuring stick.
I clicked on the scroll bar to zoom through. Still pretty tedious, but I got the end.
I've found software (ie. firmware) tends to be more sloppily constructed, probably because it can be fixed later in the field.
Obviously solid advice, but I think the point here is about reusing old electronics. I also have a couple of old phones I'd like to try this with.

IMHO beign able to spot something with this size at this distance is really awesome.
There is a fundamental difference between "We don't know how to solve this practically since the best solution we have would take too much time." and "It is a problem without solution. It can not be solved at all not matter how you approach it, or even how an imaginary alien specie with technology beyond our understanding would approach it".

Also, the equivalence between the different models of computation for Turing completeness (turing machine, lambda calculus, ...) isn't about complexity classes of the problems, only wether or not the model allow to solve the same set of problems. For example searching in a sorted array is O(log n) on a Von Neumann machine but O(n) on a Turing machine.
Interesting so patents do not offer legal protection. They offer you a promise of legal protection and that promise is very weak.

If the patent office can't do its job then how is the system supposed to work?

Working 60 hours a week probably leaves you with less relationships+stories+skills than working 40 hours a week.
I'm not sure I'd want that or that it would help: First, much of the work is lower value, which is why it can be done by lower-skilled, lower-paid workers. How do we equalize wages for making socks between the U.S. and Vietnam, when nobody in the U.S. makes socks (or pick something else if I'm wrong about U.S. sock production)?

Also, low-cost products benefit consumers. It's odd that we are so focused on protecting (generally) wealthy owners of companies, by taking money from consumers. It also reduces the overall efficiency of the economy, but supporting inefficient use of resources.

Finally, I want U.S. to have higher-paying, higher-skilled jobs, not the jobs of 50-100 years ago.

MHO: The problem is that capital can move much faster and farther than labor. A factory can be moved from British Columbia to Cambodia much more quickly than the workers in BC can find a new job. Regulate that: Requires more notice depending on local availability of jobs, for example, and investment in training and moving costs. Invest heavily in education for the worker's kids, so they have a future regardless. Provide generous workers comp and healthcare, so workers can survive the upheavals.

Huh, they're running now. I guess it's "just" being very slow.
My pet conspiracy theory is that Toyota's liberal knowledge sharing with competitors is really a psy-op to keep the competitors perpetually on the edge of ruin while they laugh all the way to the bank.

They don't even have to be deceptive about it. Just in time is obviously about not having undue spare capacity, not about not having any spare capacity at all. But Toyota knows this nuance is going to be lost on buzzword-loving PHBs and greedy management consultant firms. You see the same thing happening with corporate Agile.

More personal attacks, and now fabricating my motives. As I said, you must be out of ideas. I'm moving on.
Grinding everyone done in a 40 hour work week is a bigger problem though. And it's not like you work highly efficiently in a 40 hour work week. Or if management did enforce that all 40 hours are busy time, the people burn out.

I've worked a factory job and have seen it there, I work in white collar now and it's the same.

If you say 40 hours you'll only get around 30 because workers have to bounce between working and getting down a little or else they burn out.
If we're just talking about restaurants in France, at least part of the higher employment costs are cancelled out-- relative to the US-- by not having to tip 20%, so the menu prices can be higher without actually passing all of that increase on to the customer.[1]

As for demand, it is always elastic. A lot of people eat fast food, and a lot of those people are going to be in a position where they're just barely fitting it into they're budget. Raise prices, and they're gone. That's not even getting to the actual elastic part where people actually have the money to decide either way if they're willing to pay at one price but not another-- that bottom group is simply gone.

Also you shouldn't focus just on the one example I chose. I happened to choose a discretionary spending activity because I knew fast food #'s off the top of my head, but the same thing applies to every single business with low margins and moderate labor costs. Even if you were right and every single one of them could raise prices without losing customers, that would also mean that the exact people we're trying to pay a living wage then have significant increases in their cost of living as everything around them raises prices.

[1] France may also not be the best example to compare to the US. Despite staggeringly astronomical wealth inequality in the US, it still has a lower poverty rate than France. Canada would probably be a better example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_percentag...

"Absolutely no one" and "1%" have entirely different meanings to me. I thought it important to highlight the "insignificant" case (of which I am a member) to avoid some notion that this applies to 100% of people in reality. The way we usually go on about work around here concerns me, and I fear we risk alienating a very energetic and well-meaning segment of the community.

Have an amazing day.
I have a rooted phone that I use to get information I need root for with a broken touchscreen. The other day I was stupid enough to try to reset it to see if I could part of the screen working. Obviously that didn't work.

Re-enabling USB debugging was the following process:

1. use USB-OTG to go into the bluetooth menu to connect a bluetooth device to.

2. enable usb debugging using mouse

3. connect to PC and use the bluetooth keyboard to allow USB debugging

4. use scrcpy to control the device

Obviously this only works reasonably well if you can see at least some portion of the screen.

You missed the OPs point in all your heavily laden snark.

There are (sad, imo) people whose entire lives revolve around work. Their friends are there, and they enjoy social outings with their work colleagues.

To me, social outings are just an unnecessary risk. I do not talk to my coworkers like I talk to my friends, I do not want my coworkers knowing too much about my personal life, and especially when booze is involved it's too easy to find yourself on the receiving end of something awkward, or witness to something awkward.

Meetings are simple: if it's important enough to take an hour of my day it's important enough to count as seat time. When my productivity drops and my manager asks why I tell them that meetings are taking up too much time. It's their job to make sure I have what I need to do my best work. If they tell me to work later I start looking for other jobs. It's so easy to get a senior developer job now, and there's really no long term benefit staying anywhere, that I'm not exactly sorry for leaving in this case.

I have literally zero interest in "culture". I wouldn't even work for a company if I didnt need the money to live. I don't understand how you've derived the dichotomy that you can either have mindless time sink "culture" bullshit OR an amazon warehouse slaveshop.

Call me a pessimist. I think people obsessed with "work culture" are sad. You shouldn't hate the 8 hours of work you do, but you also shouldn't center your entire life on it. Afterall, it could be taken away from you with a penstroke the next time the CEO needs to make room in the budget for their salary.
