FYI this is not a new issue for the Red Cross. A quick search finds articles covering the same topic from 2013, and I'm pretty sure this is an issue I encountered when working on a game in the mid/late 2000's
Or just "than previously"?
I tutored for a short stint during my senior year of highschool (graduated in S2020, so this included the pandemic), through my Fall 2020 term at university.

This is pretty much exactly what I experienced. I was a member of an online marketplace, so I wasn't necessarily an "elite" tutor by any means, but I found that most of my students just needed instruction that was more tailored to them. A lot of them were working towards AP exams (computer science), so working with someone who had taken that exam, knew what was on it, and intimately understood how it was graded proved rather valuable, at least from what the parents reported back to me.

Yes, these are all definitely issues. None of them should have been difficult to solve a long time ago though, there was just a lot of inertia behind it.

And there still is. Even now I'm talking to an hvac guy who seems generally knowledgeable and even he said something to the effect that "there isn't any heat in the air below -10" which is just not true at all. It's less efficient to pull it out for sure, but there's always energy to suck out of air.

Anyways, like I said, even up here where people barely know heat pumps exist there's still over 200 days of the year where even a shitty heat pump would do a decent job. Still people argue it won't get used.

(all of this is ignoring the fact that we should be doing even moderately expensive things to get off using natural gas if we can)
StartHouse was pretty neat. It had a lot of PDFs of pitch decks pulled from various sources. My only issue is that it seemed quite a few of them were fakes and student projects.

> who is willing to pay the actual price of a SW license anymore?

Windows 10 Pro is $200. Pro for Workstation (mandatory for some computers) $309 -- and it includes the same shit as Home and Pro, I think.

Granted OEM costs less than retail, but that always has been the case, and OEMs do not necessarily pass the savings to the consumers, sometimes on the contrary (esp on pro hardware)... Would be interesting to know the typical OEM pricing of Windows 7 and Windows 8+, though.

Anyway, Retail price actually is somehow less than the price during the Windows XP/Vista/7 era (it went down to the current levels with Windows 8). However there has been for example uninterrupted growth for Windows revenues since 2015 including historical records since 2017 (edit: source: https://dazeinfo.com/2019/11/12/microsoft-windows-revenue-by... ). And I think that does not count the ancillary revenues of MS selling our asses to random other companies.

So could they do without that crap? Probably. Will they? Probably not. On the contrary they will require an online account for Windows 11 Home, for example :/ (and given the ridiculous hardware requirements, I'm sure they expect at the same time pretty neat licensing revenues)
Every article like this, there are comments like yours. Yet, I've taken a taxi many times, and nearly every time it was: call #, request taxi, "okay, 15 minutes", 15 minutes later taxi arrives, we drive to destination, pay by CC.

I've had a problem exactly once: I caught a taxi at the airport in Denver, CO, and like most airports, the pricing plan from the airport is different than to the airport (which is priced like a normal ride). Upon arrival at the destination, the cabbie didn't want to honor that agreement — "how would I make money if I charged that much?" — which, had I not been in shock from hearing about the stupidest remark I'd ever heard, I should have really told him exactly how he should make money.

But that was once, out of probably dozens of experiences. I've had far more trouble with, say, … airlines.

I've taken Lyft/Uber too, and honestly, it just isn't much different? The wait is about the same (relative to location, that is, less in crowded city centers). The difference is the ordering: with Lyft/Uber it is by app instead of by call. Slightly nicer, admittedly (can drop the pin, no need to understand often poor quality audio) but both apps absolutely murder cell batteries.
Personally, I don't care how the features are delivered - OS re-install, OS upgrade, small patch update, or w/e. I'm interested in the TPM2 derived features. Don't care much for the usual UI fluff in newer versions.

The thesis that appears to be correct with AMC and GME is that the shorts never really covered, they simply kicked the can through some creative vehicles.

This is happening in NYC too. I almost always use yellow cabs from JFK->Manhattan/BK because they are considerably cheaper. If I can hail a yellow cab anywhere, I would prefer it to Uber/Lyft.
“it[’]s unlikely you could do what they do”

Not just unlikely—practically impossible. I don’t have the skills of a good salesperson or manager¹. But that’s orthogonal to what I was talking about, and to the subject of the fine article.

The Audi e-tron Foil by Aerofoils
In a lecture Lamport once talked about the difference between mathematical equation (where half a page is a lot) and a program (which is a sort of math, only many pages long).

> I’m sure other technical fields of non programming require holding more than one thought in the head at once.

That's not a good enough comparison. You don't see the qualitative difference.

...no, you're still reading it wrong. It's not the number of substrate CPUs on the compute node your workload is running on. It's the number of substrate CPUs on all the compute nodes your workload could potentially ever be re-scheduled or migrated onto. I.e., all the CPUs of every single (non-reserved) compute node in the datacenter. (Or, presuming certain service-transitioning technologies, multiple datacenters!) We're talking about e.g. "the entirety of AWS EC2 us-west-2." Hundreds of thousands of machines. Millions of CPUs.

By analogy: imagine there's a car-sharing service, that rents out its fleet of cars to people — but because, when you rent a car, you could theoretically end up driving any car in the rental company's fleet — they set their premium to be $18/mo * [the size of the rental company's entire rental-car fleet.] Because in theory, if you set things up just right, you could manage to drive all their cars, in one day. And so they want to charge you, at all times, for that basically-impossible worst-case upper-bound price.

Do you see how insane that sounds?

> Because Python is such a friendly language, if it includes functional paradigm properly, it would make the functional part more readable than other functional languages.

I guess my argument is that Python is friendly exactly because it uses FP paradigms sparingly and conscientiously. Some paradigms such as map and filter can definitely make your code cleaner, while others (such as reduce) only lead to headaches. That being said as you mention we are getting pattern matching, I'm curious to see how that ends up.

i would argue that C# and JS do also use it sparingly and don't go too hard, but also that Python is generally a cleaner language than those. It's hard to know how much of it can be attributed to what, but generally, it's not a trivial thing to predict what impacts a given language feature will have on the readability of the code. A given FP paradigm might be cool in isolation, but when stacked with 4 other ones, it can quickly lead to gibberish code.

>I think it's perfectly reasonable if someone has 15 years of experience and being rejecting for an SDE I position. It's an absolutely fair question to ask why you aren't at an SDE II level already, or applying for that role with that amount of experience.

it is absolutely reasonable to ask and reject if unsatisfied with the answer. I think it is discriminatory to bar from applying (or reject automatically) based on such years based cap.

>Similarly it makes sense to reject people who have years of experience but are applying for internships.

again, i think such automatic rejection is discriminatory.
The beacons in the store are pretty dumb, so they can be cheap (on the order of a few dollars each) and plentiful, moving the real logic of tracking to the app.

You're correct in that it could be reversed and the BLE radios in the store could track the phones instead, but then they'd need far more intelligence and network connectivity, which would make them more expensive and in turn they'd be fewer of them deployed.

Source: spent the last few years writing code for wireless devices, including BLE beacons.
In practical terms many orthodox jews don't partake in social media and many other aspects of the internet, although there are many cracks and it infiltrates the barriers. So maybe he did give the right rules from which the current behaviour derived. All the various commandments, not only the famous 10, are interpreted in every point in time and applied. If you study the Talmud you will see that those interpretations happened from day one to many cases which were not explicitly mentioned in the bible.
A number of key engineers who I loved working with left my team around the same time, and their departure made me uninterested in continuing on that team any longer. I applied internally to a few other teams, and found out a couple weeks into that process that I was on the devlist when the manager of the team I wanted to join suddenly said he couldn't take me.

Through some backchanneling with a manager I had been friends with before he joined Amazon, I found out I had been placed on the devlist the same week my friends left the team. No performance issues were ever discussed with me, and at that point in my career I'm very confident I didn't have any. I am pretty sure management of my team guessed (correctly) that I would try to leave once my friends were gone, and worried the entire team would implode with additional departures, and all institutional knowledge of a shitty old perl/mason/codigo codebase that needed to be maintained would implode with it. So I am pretty sure they placed me on the devlist purely as a mechanism to make it difficult for me to leave (I would have needed to get the director / L8 level manager of the team I was attempting to join to override the devlist block. this pretty much never happens unless you have a relationship with that person, and I didn't).

I was never able to get a manager in my org to have an open conversation with me about that, despite lots of effort. Lots of hemming and hawing and a few canceled meetings. I was eventually told I was taken off the devlist, but when I again tried to transfer a year later, found out I was still on it. I'm not sure if it was a case of "forgot to take you off" or "lied" and will never know, but that happened to me circa ~2018.

Edit: Unrelated to your question, but I also suspect having been on one of those lists once and escaped makes you a target to get put on again. No manager backchanneling confirmed that for me, it's just an educated guess. My performance suffered for a couple months at the start of the pandemic for obvious reasons, and I was placed on the devlist again (now called "Focus") around late April / early May 2020. I was never told this, nobody ever said the word "Focus", nor was I given any performance coaching. I was only able to infer it because my manager told me "I don't think you should try to change teams right now", and at that point in my Amazon career I knew what that really meant. I started job hunting immediately, kicked my feet up for a while, and took the severance the moment I was finally pip'd. Worked out extremely well for me actually, but a less experienced employee who might not connect the dots between "don't try to change teams ;)" and "your performance is considered below the bar" would have been blindsided.
Which, interestingly shines a light on just now reductive the original comment was.

Parent comment’s take was actually more charitable to the GP by at least leaving room for the possibility that managers do real work (they do, and hopefully this isn’t controversial).

And I’d go a step further and argue that even within the managerial role, there are tasks that demand focus and deep work.
I can't make sense of this. If CO2 emissions drive CO2 concentration, how can the former be the derivative of the latter?

I can (sort of) make sense of it the other way around: The rise in atmospheric CO2 is the derivative of emissions per unit of time. This isn't true, but maybe it works as a model. It then follows that the derivative of a constant function (i.e. emissions over time stay constant because growth has stopped naturally) is zero (i.e. there is no rise in concentration). In that case, we simply agree.
I don't disagree, but I don't fully agree either.

Developers can usually choose whom they work for. If the boss brings in trackers and such they can usually leave for another job. I know there are employment visas that complicate things, but broad strokes it is true.

I have empathy for the developers of Windows at Microsoft. They really do have high stakes, real impact work and it is hard to differentiate "gal who stopped the whole global economy from grinding to a halt" from "guy who wrote the tracker tech" but at the end of the day I'm not paying for an OS that tracks me. I won't pirate it either, but I won't pay. I am sick and tired of this model and for some things it's just a bridge too far for me to accept.

I accept that I'm a bit of a hypocrite here. I use Google Chrome and I use Google Search and I know they're not perfect, but at least I know that it is confined to "web stuff" and not buried in the OS. Call it old fashioned but if Canonical didn't let me uninstall Amazon bloatware I would not have used Ubuntu, and thankfully that dark chapter in their history is over.
Yeah, it's the price of that.

And that price is ridiculously, stupendously high. Much, much, much too high. It is in no way worth that price.
Learning that for all the mathematical symbols, still too time consuming.
Yes. But unfortunately, the taxi companies didn't realize this until it was much, much too late. They got their lunches eaten by tech companies who liked to move fast and break things, such as decades of worker protections, well supplied with money and not overburdened with ethics.

There is a parallel universe where some tech worker came along and created apps and sold them to the taxi companies. That would have led to much better taxi service -- though still a monopolist keeping the number of cabs small to protect their own profits.
And yet the client cost generally doesn't come down...
Maybe this is a stupid question, but what is the "make" part? I see a lot of docker syntax and a few targets without dependencies. But make is all about dependencies. What kind of make dependencies do you support? What kind of variables, macros, etc?
Holy crap I did not know that and always thought it must be such a pain to decode variable-length text! How did I go so long without knowing this, that's such a neat feature.
Or in some cases letting said shittiness manifest because the person doing the pointing isn't themselves subject to it and/or could stand to lose ground when someone decides to do something about it.
> A US army doctor presumably does not seek out to treat both sides of the conflict, and does not get the special protection the rules of engagement afford to the Red Cross.

The protective use of the Red Cross, is subject to the conditions of the Geneva Conventions, and only those rules. What any particular Red Cross organization feels is completely irrelevant. These rules allow use by one side of the conflict's own medics, among other things. There is no treating both sides rule or anything like that.

Protective use of the symbol in an inappropriate context is a war crime. As is ignoring the symbol and firing upon a protected facility.

The Geneva conventions also allow indicative use of the symbols by International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement organizations. It is only supposed to be used by those organizations in this indicative sense, but it is not viewed as a war crime when this is violated.

Using the symbol in a game as a generic symbol for healing or medics is wrong. Use of the the symbol in the protective fashion in video games is arguably fine, as long as the game also treats ignoring the symbol as a war crime. I'm not sure I've ever seen a game where the player gets court marshaled if they fire upon an enemy's medics wearing the red cross symbol though, which is a real problem, and dilutes the meaning of the symbol.

One weird thing here is that for example, the American Red cross licenses the use of the symbol for purposes like first aid kits very much like those found in video games. This is in addition to the well known Johnson and Johnson trademark allowing them to use it on their first aid kits too.

The First Geneva convention article 39 allows the military to order that the symbol be on equipment used by in battle are supposed to have the symbol on it, so they would very much could carry first aid kits with a red cross on it.
I agree, I know tons of people that work for and would love to work from them, and I do not live in WA.
Imagine suffering from imposter syndrome in an office with this fear culture. People will work themselves to the bone trying to fix personal perceived inadequecies. Then they burnout and quit.

I guess if workers are considered expendable than that's a positive. Corporations need to be more accountable to their workers welfare and not solely stockholder's welfare.
Thanks! That is great.

I've found my Firefox account to be very useful for syncing my history and bookmarks between my 6 devices.

Even so, Mozilla, of all large technology organizations, should be the least likely to persistently nag you to get an account. That's user-hostile of them and they should know better.

As for snaps - the idea, at least, is to set up a sandboxed Linux userspace that can help alleviate the absolutely terrible security model that we currently have. The implementation is awful, but at least the idea is noble.

But, as to your overarching point - yes, even in the open source world, software is bad.
The smaller independent theaters near me tend to do more of this sort of thing. The one near me is doing an entire month of a Samurai movies. Also Month Python and the Holy Grail, and War of the Worlds (2005). All their first run movies tend to be independent ones.

Not saying that chains shouldn't rerun old movies, just saying those types of theaters do exist. It's the only way I can truely get a movie theater experience for things made before I was born.
Asking works of fiction to stop using a symbol doesn't seem at all like a moral panic to me. What they're saying is "this symbol has a specific meaning, and it's important to us that it's not diluted."

They're not calling for video games to be banned or even re-labeled, they're just trying to prevent the red cross from losing the intended meaning (which comes with an international treaty intended to protect aid workers)... it seems like the method of applying this mostly consists of asking nicely.

> the emblem has been improperly displayed by individuals, businesses and organizations in a vast range of uses from first aid suppliers through to children’s toys.

It looks like the the American and Canadian Red Cross(es) actually sell first aid supplies with the emblem: https://www.redcross.org/store/first-aid-supplies, https://products.redcross.ca/. Is the issue that the emblem is on first aid supplies at all, or just first aid supplies made by other organizations?

I don't really get the connection between that activity and:

> In fact, the red cross emblem is an important symbol of humanitarian protection. It is recognized as such in both Canadian and international law which prohibit its unauthorized use. Misuse of this valued symbol distorts its meaning and its protective value for victims of conflict and the aid workers that assist them.
No, I did not. Higher quality components is not the same as higher specs. For example, I would bet that Apple is using components binned for higher survival rates, than a $500 discount laptop. And I am sure other company's premium products use higher quality components too, it's not an Apple thing. But for this specific product, the all around package of an Air is very competitive.

Interesting, it's an operating division with its own CEO? I've never heard of that before, but it could well be the case. Certainly, the corporate structure of Samsung is highly complex. I can say from personal experience that working between the foundry side and the electronics side is challenging because their interests are often not well aligned.

It's apples to oranges in any case. Comparing revenues of an OEM, to a fabful CPU manufacturer, to a foundry is just weird and makes little sense. I don't know what point you were trying to make.
Army medics use and wear the red cross, your argument is invalid.
What kind of intuition do they rely so much on to call them intuitionists that is everyday in nature rather particular to their domain, but that programmers don't also rely on? Are we talking "everyday" like "I need to buy groceries" type of intuition? I don't understand what you're trying to say.
To be absolutely clear, comp is not based on stock appreciation. You get your grant (aka no. of stocks/RSUs) that vest at some cadence. By the time you vest a tranche and share price has increased is an added bonus (though generally people in tech think 4x in 4 years is their birth right.)
