I mean, there was security, it's just that most of the holes were so big you could drive a bus through, honking and dragging a bunch of rusty bikes.

I have walked onto MUDs and, annoyed at being killed by some wizard for saying "hi," (stupid n00b move on my part) figured out how to bring the game to a screeching halt in about fifteen minutes. They had to bring it all down and patch to make me go away. This wasn't a testament to my ability, it's just that nobody was thinking about this stuff in a defensive way.

Oh, your system won't let me email that file out, you'll just return it to me? Well, lemme just forge my send from so you give it to me anyway.

I got up to a lot of horsing around, almost all of it non-destructive because getting attention generally is not a great thing and it wasn't my stuff, I just wanted to see what was out there and you either had to hear about it from someone who knew it already or you had to stumble across it.
But does it scale? In the volume needed to equip the trains and tracks with it? Isn't it brittle? Doesn't it need so called rare earths, which are already in much demand for all sorts of electrification in all sectors due to decarbonization?
Very few are anti-WFH in person. That would be publicly admitting that you can't be trusted to work independently.
Used correctly, those tax breaks are a small price to pay for additional jobs in your community.
Relying on your employer for these items seems unwise.

This is a brilliant sentiment and can be tide to multitudes of other items. The more that can be voluntarily decoupled from the employer-employee relationship, the more should be.
Also anyone who has been earning a FAANG salary for 5-10 years should have enough FU money to feel a lot less pressure to conform to unreasonable employer demands.
I am a fan of that quote and I now personally eschew clutter. However I'm referring to the examples in the article such as the supreme court justice referencing links that no longer existed. Paraphrasing the article, >75% of links from the 90s are defunct. Sure Geocities may not have value to many, but an astonishing number of links in court rulings and law documents are leading to dead ends. I can see how this could lead to shaky ground upon which it would be more difficult to defend certain internet freedoms.
I don't think I am shifting goal posts? Most people don't have enough of their savings in liquid assets to retire early was, I think, the original goal posts. You haven't convinced me that this isn't true...

Your point about housing (and mine) would benefit from actual data. My contention is that for greater than 50% of people in the US, that they cannot, without moving (say the concrete metric here is a move that doesn't require children to switch schools), purchase a home for $200k or less. This is my intuition based on experience with housing markets and a general sense for how the population is distributed in the country, but it may well be wrong.

On the retirement account front, what I'm saying is that most professionals in their 40s will have a large amount in traditional 401k/IRA accounts, and much less in Roth or non-tax advantaged accounts. I believe this is accurate.

I think the confusion in our conversation is that you seem to be talking about what people can do, if they're focused from an early age on accumulating liquid savings, whereas I'm making a descriptive point that most people, even with large net worth, do not have most of it in liquid assets.
Humantic has pretty good reviews from users who have migrated already. One reason is that it supports Linkedin as an input along with text, which really makes it valuable for B2b use cases. Accuracy wise too, it has shown higher correlation scores. The blog actually covers a bunch of these questions, check it out.
On the bright side, using a tool like Internet archive it should be easy to filter out which articles were removed and/or edited by the BBC, in a way highlighting the most historically important articles.

This is really cool, nice work! It's funny, as I was typing my original comment, I was thinking to myself "some kind of aggregator for these links would make a great side project..." - and turns out you were way ahead of me!
Do you have a better overview? The video did bounce around a bit but what was incorrect?
From your mouth to God's ears!
It's unwise to rely exclusively on anything, but if I'm going to devote half my waking hours to something, I'd better be able to rely on it to provide more than just money to spend on the other half.
It's kind of sad if the only way to stop having your item listing in Amazon from being hijacked is to trademark.
> Who cares about WFH when you get to live in California and work with some of the brightest minds? Only privileged person wouldn't value that.

On the contrary, only a privileged person would specifically care about "work[ing] with some of the brightest minds". People who aren't privileged are just thankful to have a full-time job with benefits, and you can get that in any metro area with a significant population. On top of that, while California has some of the highest-living in the country, unemployment there doesn't pay any more than in any other state, which means if you lose your job you're hosed unless you're privileged enough to have a massive nest egg.

A couple more things...

- I actively do not want to live in California, and I most certainly don't want to live in that part of California. NorCal has been on my list of places I dislike so much you couldn't pay me seven figures to move there. For a while, I considered possibly moving to the LA area before it finally sank in that I'd probably hate living there almost as much as NorCal, but LA at least has the advantage of being sunny all year round with gorgeous beaches (visiting LA still on my bucket list, I just don't want to live there). The Bay Area doesn't even have that.

- My "I'd be an idiot to turn this job down" criteria involve being able to travel all the time and constantly work out of different parts of the country. This requires both a position that's 100% remote with no strings attached and a salary that's high enough to afford to be able to buy lots of plane tickets and spend weeks upon weeks living out of a hotel room. In fact, I just started such a job last week, and I intend to start flying in 2022 (I'm fully vaccinated, but the Delta variant has me nervous for now).

- I genuinely couldn't care less about "work[ing] with some of the brightest minds". I work to fund my life, and that's it, I don't want anything out of my job other than a steady paycheck and benefits. As long as my coworkers have some base level of competency and I can have enjoyable conversations with, I'm good.
This is the complete code (from here: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.9/Lib/statistics.py)

if iter(data) is data:
data = list(data)
n = len(data)
if n < 1:
raise StatisticsError('mean requires at least one data point')
T, total, count = _sum(data)
assert count == n
return _convert(total / n, T)

The _sum function is a little more involved, but not appreciably so.

In general though, a literal translation of a formula is not always great in terms of numerical stability/error. For example, you might have learned to calculate the variance as mean(X^2) - mean(X)^2, but this can lead to a huge loss of precision that more complicated approaches avoid.
> someone who submits a truthful resume to a job posting where they don't technically meet the qualifications has only made a little white lie

They haven't lied at all. Where is the lie in saying, "I don't meet your requirements but I think you should hire me anyway"?
Fair. Perhaps I was over-zealous to include degrees in my statement.
This is really cool. I started a project in a similar vein a few years back that I loosely called "What Did I Do" that would allow you to track blame / "ownership" over time. I could write out content to the command line, but once it got to the point of starting to put visualizations into the browser (in fact, I also went the D3 route), I started to lose drive. Finding a way to make it visually appealing escaped me - but you've captured it well here, I think. With the work you've done, can you also represent other repositories, or is this heavily focused on the Git repo specifically?
There are always H1Bs to abuse. They are going to do the employers' bidding. I think FAANGs will be fine.
Are you saying Cliff's claims are too...

one-sided?
Intuit is consistently one of the least ethical actors in tech. They have a monopoly position in many of their products and take advantage of some of the poorest people through misinformation and lobbying.

Facebook & Uber have received most of the heat over the past few years. Intuit has strangely avoided the same level of scrutiny.
Project Xanadu was an attempt to fix this, but unfortunately it suffered from the creator wanting to capitalize on it's success. Which is, I think, why it ultimately failed.
Yeah, especially in production bare metal clusters. If you want N+2 redundancy that's at least 5 physical machines for just the control plane (etcd & apiservers), more if you don't want to colocate worker nodes with that...

Even if you have full bare metal automation and thousands of machines that seems like unnecessary waste.
Sure it is definitely possible, go for it.
Warzel's not the one who used vulgar emojis in his op-ed.
Keeping in mind the job market has been essentially frozen for over a year. We will likely see movements both ways (company making redundancies that were on hold because of the pandemic, and people making moves they couldn’t do because of hiring freezes). So the numbers may have little to do with return to the office.
almost every language has lightweight cooperative threading (or green threads) available these days. go calls them goroutines, c# and ruby fibres (altho i think ruby removed them, ultimately?), python has threadless, rust has tokio, julia has tasks, the jvm has like 4 competing implementations in akka, kiilim, quasar and project loom. windows and linux both have built in os level support for cooperative multitasking (the fibre api and the context api, respectively) that any language can use

these all have slightly different semantics and characteristics, but it's simply not true that beam is doing anything unique here. pervasive links between processes are a somewhat interesting wrinkle of the beam implementation but even that is achievable in other languages with little work

what made green threads work in erlang (and later elixir) was async i/o. in other languages green threads would block on all i/o calls and had no opportunity to yield whereas on the erlang vm all i/o calls would effectively yield while waiting. today nearly every language has async i/o (in libraries if not pervasively) so green threads are much more accessible

i don't say this as an elixir hater or whatever. i genuinely respect erlang's place in history as a populizer of some of these concepts. when i say the elixir/erlang community is credulous and prone to exaggerating the differences between those languages and other more modern languages (particularly when it comes to implementation) i don't say it dismissively as a reason to abandon those languages. i say it because without an impetuous to keep improving elixir and erlang are going to become increasingly irrelevant. it would be a shame if the 'elixir is different and unique' attitude led to complacency and stagnation
If you go for the aggressive goal you’ll probably fail but still get farther than if you pursued the modest goal.

Besides, as an Airbnb rental it would definitely pay for its own mortgage over time.
I think this would fall under any reasonable definition of fair use. If I read GPL (or proprietary) code as a human I still own code that I later write. If copyright was enforced on the outputs of machine learning models based on all content they were trained on it would be incredibly stifling to innovation. Requiring obtaining legal access to data for training but full ownership of output seems like a sensible middle ground.

(Reposting my comment from yesterday)
Has anyone here played it? How's the actual gameplay?
I completely agree and respect the fact that there are many people who strongly prefer to be in an office 5 days a week. And I don’t think Apple should close their offices - far from it. Offering remote positions does not preclude in-person positions at all.

And yes, for Apple even more than most companies, we have very little idea of what happened inside the company. But if they are so inflexible that the last year ended up being a complete disaster internally, I’d think that would be a huge signal that something about the company culture is in need of a serious change anyways, wouldn’t you agree? Any company that wants to survive more than the next 20 years has to have some flexibility built into it at the foundations.

> One major “secret” to advancing in a technical career is learning how to give accurate estimates

If Google, Microsoft, Apple, Blizzard, etc can't produce accurate estimates despite employing 'the best of the best', wouldn't that imply it's a nearly impossible task? I can see getting order-of-magnitude estimates, but nothing more accurate than that.

They remade the more popular trees recently to make them CEFR compliant and added grammar lessons to some, I'm doing Spanish and it's very good, tons of immersion stuff, audio lessons, stories, podcasts.
Also important to know FINRA kept the 57 million. They are the SRO but let’s be honest they are the enforcement arm of the SEC.... but the government does not get to keep the fines.
It's not just the GPL. Almost all open source software licenses require attribution; without that attribution, any copy is a license violation.

Whether or not the result is a license violation is tricky legal question. As always, IANAL.
My fan is quite advanced. It has "night" and "natural breeze" modes, for example, and it was the cheapest one at Costco last year.
> For companies who’s entire value is the intangible human capital of their workforce, this seems like a pretty big fucking risk to take.

Which are those? I'd say e.g. Google's value has more to do with incumbent market position. Google and others (Facebook, for instance) derive a ton of value from access to massive amounts of data and scale-required-as-table-stakes advertising revenue that make it damn near impossible to compete with them unless you're already an enormous corporation, even on some minor product that's not part of their core business. Arguably, exclusive access to and ability to leverage data is much of Amazon's value. Microsoft's, too, increasingly.

Granted they need some number of competent people to keep that going in much the same way that any business does, but "entire value" is significantly overstating labor's case here, I'd say. Their historical-data moats and exclusive visibility into valuable data streams are what make them so damn hard to compete with. It'd be more accurate to say that their users are their entire value, than their human capital (though still wrong, I think).
This!

Different folks want different things. Though as time goes on more and more houses look different in style in the same neighborhood. There are limits though - there are only so many ways you can do a garage and the required drive from it to the street so that always looks similar.

Most builders of spec houses intentionally buy just a few scattered lots in many different neighborhoods - that way they can build the same house they always build, yet not neighborhood has two houses that look alike. But there are neighborhoods where all houses are built exactly alike...
So disable native lazy loading in your about:config then?
On sites that employ legacy JS-based techniques, disabling JS might help (sounds like you are talking about article-like content).

I assume that those sites will vanish quickly though.

"Lazy loading" interactive content is an entirely different thing.

Shopping pages with tons of product images, Infinite scroll (yuck) are different...

Those are factors of constitutions and has nothing inherently to do with democracies or any system

Authoritarian dictatorships and single party countries have constitutions that give the same guarantees as seen in the Bill of Rights and other areas of the US Constitution

You are conflating the definition of democracy with ideals you were taught to respect. This is indoctrination by definition of accepting a set of beliefs uncritically.

Instead of trying to argue that point or differences between constitutional countries, you could just drop your expanded definition of democracy in favor of the rule by majority one.
I'm just not understanding what you want them to do bar creating their own search engine. You want other sources to be checked if a search returns zero results to prevent something like the tank man issue, right?

How would one accomplish that? Create their own search engine. Purchase search results from someone else. Do Yahoo and Ask.com sell their search results? I don't know. But I'm assuming if it was as easy as, "have two data streams to pull from" then DDG would have implemented it.
Okay, whether C or C++ or Java, the point is writing the game without ever having an industry job or educational situation where you'd have mentorship is a huge accomplishment.
Given that many people do not want to move to (insert non-cool city), or even move at all, WFH greatly improves the hiring chances of companies located there. There are tax and probably legal implications of remote work, but less immigrations issues, etc.

Why would you want to? For many open source developers having models trained on your code would be desirable.
It's just as easy to get noticed reproducing some ugly piece of shit EMR application for the open source world in some new language just to show how efficient of a programmer you are in a weekend project.

it's funny the note of colonialist superiority at the end of this poem when I live in the tropics and we regularly call burnt as fuck tourists 'cocido como un camaron' which means cooked like a shrimp. then they get to spend the next day moaning in bed while we take their hotel money and hit the beach with proper sun protection early in the morning when there's way fewer tourists getting skin cancer for no good reason other than operating at times they're used to. Haha!
> Do people actually see stuff when they imagine things?

Apparently so. That's how my wife describes it. She scores an easy 6 on the "star test" - https://www.reddit.com/r/Aphantasia/comments/aioyga/simple_a.... Myself, I normally score 2-3 on it.
It’s of course possible that “test data” was an excuse they made up after the fact. Maybe it’s a cover story to hide even worse incompetence (or maliciousness). Why did it require a candidate to notice that the sums between rounds were wildly different?

And wtf is a test ballot anyway? Are these physical ballots, or entries in the database? Neither inspires confidence in the integrity of this election.
it's just supply and demand of labor. when there's a vast oversupply of talented labor, you don't need to cater to the desires of that talent pool. there's a long list of potential candidates that would love to work at a FAANG even if they have to go back to the office.
Is this true? Looks like they're using the OpenAI Codex which is set to be released soon:

Quebec already pledged to do so a while ago [0], and joined California in setting tougher emission standards (above what their respective federal governments are doing) for more than a decade now[1]. Seems the feds are playing catch-up.

QuestDB (YC S20) Is Hiring a Front End Engineer (React)
Like all things, there is apparently a whole spectrum of visualization: Aphantasia (the black wall) and Hyperphantasia (AR-like superimposition of images upon reality).

What I find interesting is that every single one of us is somewhere on that scale, and we don't quite understand the perspective of someone who is on a different place on the scale. Your own question highlights that ("Is it actually possible to see anything else?").

We are all trained from birth to deal with our senses and mental capabilities as they come, barring an injury. What each of us perceives is the de-facto normal. Learning that others don't have senses just like ours is something of an eye-opener.
Almost all companies are heavily political. It's inevitable given human nature in hierarchies.

Storing money as float is always a bad decision.
Source: been working for several banks and faced many of such bugs.
My point is, everyone calls their predictions "goals" and then if they do not reach those, it is for some reason, but external to themselves. It's normal to overfultil or underperform goals, this happens all the time. No one hits every goal 100% every time ("60% of the time, it works every time"), I guess no goal in your company is hit a 100%, it's either over or below.

Marketing has a goal of 5000 new customers. They do not estimate it by conversion history, outreach, customer preferences and other values in their model. But they could call it "estimate" with some thinking. But then they'd have the same problems of being "bad estimators" as developers are.

We in technology call our goals "estimations", and if we're "wrong" we are nailed for it. They are tied to our professional skill in a way goals never are.

Let's call our estimates goals as everyone else does.

Also: Many people confuse estimations and measurements. It's easy to sum 5 throws with a dice. I can do that hundreds of times correctly. It's impossible to predict the sum of 5 throws before the dice is thrown correctly all the time (only on average).
