You are aware that ECMA exists? And that JS has been updated quite a bit to align with modern use cases.
If their methodology is wrong then there is no support for their hypothesis, meaning we accept the null hypothesis (that there's nothing there).

Rejection of what they're doing isn't some personal quirk of mine, by the way. Their methodology is entirely invalid. It should be rejected by anyone because it can't tell us anything true about the world.
That’s a somewhat different idea from what you wrote above. You’re essentially saying early adopters’ paranoia was unjustified until it wasn’t.

well i'm glad you've conceded all the ground from "it's unsolvable comp sci problem" up until "but one can DoS the tiny payments by spamming". i've covered a mile, you're still fighting for inches, i think that's enough for me. cheers, i'm glad you learned a lot about lightning today!

p.s. i'm sure you can google about DoS attacks on lightning and how to deal with them yourself
Thanks for searching, I hope parent would be able to provide further details on that statement.

I got O -ve so I maintained >45 Kgs weight(min required) so I could donate when needed but my bones couldn't take it (Osteoporosis, Achondroplasia) and so now I've reduced my weight to 40 Kgs; It was bummer to hear donating lowers risk of heart disease although I wish it was true as its a win-win for donating blood.
They are not rare now - and they have always happened. There is a huge amount of gang-warfare in the UK using guns and knives (just look at London, Birmingham and Manchester) and it spills over to bystanders.

And maybe look up "county lines", which is corrupting children, and spreading the drug trade, and violence, to even small towns.

I am not against the use of drugs, and have used some at one point or another myself. But it is delusional to think that so long as drug use is criminalised, criminal gangs will not use extreme violence.
Well not completely but yes more or less. Look at this comment collection surrounding Damore. The one thing that unifies the group defending the firing is that they are all willing to lie to do so and are doing it in pursuit of socially destroying someone who is by rational, innocent. After all if he wasn't the group wouldn't have to lie.

At that stage if you can't reflect on your behaviour and that of those on your side, well there either is no hope for you or you're just further lying along with your fellow ideologues.

>carbon copy, knock-off of the role-based text messaging component of [his] proprietary QrewLive communications platform

Not to say it isn't a good idea but the limited description seems like an idea that I imagine more than one person could have come up with.

That's not to justify the company's actions, but if that is the app I'm not sure how novel a thing we're talking about here and maybe the needs that weren't met were simply back-end tech based and not idea based...?

How many 'roughly the same idea but X' start ups are out there? and it's not always the first that succeeds.
I remember old "snowy" tv and absolutely hated it. Bad analog is still a really bad experience, especially with audio. Worse, it never seems to be just "snowy" but the signal goes in and out randomly so it goes from bad to unwatchable quickly and somehow always during important parts of the show. ;) I think people tend to play up idealized versions of analog tv and downplay how bad digital signal issues can be, a bit like how people hold up questionable movie special effects from the 70s and 80s as being great but also think all CGI is fake looking.

I don't think asking people to run a proper antenna is asking too much, especially for all the benefits digital brings in.

I'm not so sure what kind of error-correction ATSC has compared to DTB and ISTB standards, but the 8VSB modulation is not particularly great

Also ISTB has the idea of a 'mobile' channel, which can be useful in low SNR conditions (it is worse for pretty much anything else, though)
Buying a new EV is the same as replacing the battery and spending extra on top. It still wipes out the previous savings and increases your carbon footprint because another complete car was manufactured.

This seems needlessly conspiratorial. Dexamethasone’s utility in treating Covid-19 was found by a top-notch RCT (Recovery). It is also quite cheap. ‘Pharm’ (presumably you mean scientists sceptical of ivermectin) made no noise about that.
What Should Dev Teams Measure First?
I’ve been wondering if climate change could disturb the environment enough to deplete/reduce the oxygen in the atmosphere. For example, if large enough tracts of forests/grasslands turn into deserts?
People are using the euphemism large scale political action. But what does this large scale political action mean for the billions that only now are starting to get a decent standard of living and wont accept a no?
You should expect this to be true of any shrinking rainforest. A growing rainforest will absorb more CO2 than it emits. A rainforest that remains the same size will be carbon neutral.

The idea that the rainforest removes a significant net amount of CO2 from the atmosphere is simply false. The rainforest even emits methane.
NTSC was the envy of many European console gamers back in the pre-HD era, because a lot of game ports to PAL (50Hz) were dodgy and no longer ran at the speed the original game designers had intended, and/or were squashed between black borders at the top and bottom of the TV screen.

Importing a JPN/US console was not only to get access to region-exclusive titles!
At our startup, we chose to start with a monorepo. Our team is small, but one of the big advantages we’ve had so far is avoiding the n*m (for n services and m tools) problem with dev tooling - which leads to a very smooth developer experience.

For example, to run one or more services locally, we use a single script that sits at the repo base - ‘dev.sh service1,service2,...’. This avoids a lot of headaches for our developers, as we enforce compliance when adding a project to the repo. Lint config? One to rule them all. Test coverage thresholds? Single one. This consistency is the biggest win in my opinion.

Similarly, our integration tests are very easy to write without commit skew.

Finally, sharing libraries has been painless - since we have common/ and common/third_party/ directories at the monorepo root.

Another possibilities:

- We in fact heard it a lot. "X is down" "X is Affected" ("when a person is victim of extortion is called extortion, but if a nation, is called terrorism? global politics?")

- The owners of the data centers have a lot of money, but also are more ruthless to deal with "treats" from street-level criminals "give us money or...or.. or.. elseeee!" "ELSE". Also, can hit back harder (?) ("steal from granny is easy but from a tank crew not so much?")

- Also, the money mean pay peanuts now is easy to keep things quiet, and solve it internally is not that big of a deal (this one I know - once, by somebody that I don't think was lying!- from banks: The guys are targeted and breached more than people know but who cares? too much money and they can call a BOSS in the military/police to deal later with it)
I'm afraid there is a tendency to underreport crime in Netherlands. Mainly because the police and legal system seem not to be very effective. So, the statistics can be misleading.
We have approached a technology evolution segment where Facebook pages replace small business websites as discoverability is simply better than on own blog as small players are SEO handy capped.

Same goes for devs with indie games,they need to be on high traffic platforms to survive.

YouTube videos as well.

The above-mentioned are fb, google and apple, they can all cut you off the platform with almost no way to speak to a human for case review.

The e commerce platforms have a bit less of an irreversible way of doing things and you can get hold of human support.

I am not sure what is the right way to go on about, but maybe force some companies to offer human operated support?
Why not? It sounds like you are saying the carbon released by cutting/burning one mature tree is more than that captured by the planting and eventual growth of one tree. It seems non-sensical on the surface, but maybe I'm missing something. Maybe you're arguing that the carbon release is instantaneous but the carbon capture takes decades?
This is spot-on, tbh, and helps communication in many walks of life, but, and this is important: the “with trusted people” is paramount. This sort of conversation requires, as you mention, the assumption that both parties have only the best intent.

I’ve run into a lot of people where that is decidedly untrue; they did not have the best intentions in mind.

But also, I think this is orthogonal to assertiveness. Sometimes simply learning to say “no” when you’re overwhelmed or too busy, alone, is a great habit to build. How to do it gets easier with time, and how to communicate it does too.
An honest thing that will get you a leg up when uploading to a system that will scan it for keywords is to use white text with the word not followed by a bunch of keywords not in the rest of your resume. The system doesn't care about text color, so it will match the keywords, when a human reads it, they won't see them, and even if they do you're still being honest with the word 'not'.

The difference between drugs and most other crimes like robberies or extortion is that drugs have a huge demand side as well as a supply side. Your idea seems to be that the illegal drug trade is a sort of daycare for criminals, and there's a certain fixed amount of criminals that will do illegal things, and therefore switch to the next-best illegal thing when the previous one gets legalized. I think that's unrealistic when you consider the money that incentivizes people to go into the illegal drug trade.

This can be kinda achieved with git submodules.

Yes, it's nice to have it _when you need it_, but consider all your other honest customers that years later discover your kill switches littered throughout the code they paid you to write. They'll have to pay some other developer to untangle or work around them. If your contract with your customer doesn't include a provision for the them, or it wasn't on the roadmap you worked out with your customer, you're delivering them something with defects that may cost them later. To say nothing about how they will feel about you once they discover you anticipated that they were a cheat the whole time you worked with them.

Paranoia-driven engineering decisions like this are no good. If your customers are bottom-of-the-garbage-can customers, get better customers. If you can't find better customers, then perhaps you are right where you deserve to be, doing garbage work for lousy cheats, which you must booby trap to make sure you get paid. If that's where you are, fine, but I hope no one with a brighter future reads these kinds of comments and thinks that being a bottom feeder is the norm.
>> As a hiring manager, I disagree. Nothing beats actual work experience delivering code in a real production environment to real customers from within a real team environment.

I fully agree with this, except it is difficult to gauge who did what from the outside when interviewing. This is especially true for major projects where multiple individuals work on the same tier. I've see linked-in profiles of former colleagues who wholly took credit for things other people did.

When interviewing, I usually ask a lot of questions on challenges and lessons learned from these projects, but even then, if you have worked alongside a group for a while you can learn enough to claim you did work. I found it difficult to determine in many cases whether someone actually did the work or just managed it or just did the easy portions alongside the hard portion.
My uncle flew A340-600s on that route for years and had a great time. Due to crew rest requirements and seniority, he only flew 2-3 times a month and had a house on both ends. Unfortunately, he also ended up with a family on both ends and that didn't end too well...

I dunno that I would rush to call it a virtue. It's def a valuable skill to have so you can defend yourself and others against bullies. But it also empowers YOU to be a bully or blowhard, so it's a double edged sword. Yes, assertiveness is a virtue in the hands of a mature, responsible, and benevolent person - but it's a disaster in the hands of an immature, uncivilized, or unscrupulous one. Martial arts come to mind
Yeah, that's how most current recommendations work (when one understands the needs of both sides). But we feel that it puts too much friction to recommend.

"It sounds like once I as a scout refer my top 10, you prospect them for all of your companies, not just one. Is that right?" - yes

"Also curious about pjam15's question about whether the people you recommend know that we were the ones that recommended them" - you can choose to make yourself anonymous selectively. for example, for people you know very well, you could choose to have your name mentioned. for acquaintances, you could choose to be anonymous

"Also, how do you know if my (or any other scout) has recommendations that are any good?" - Well, this is a little bit tricky. We currently just pass on the information while internally maintaining a score of how many of your recommendations have received how much interest from companies and what the interview experience was.

Those concern should indeed be taken seriously, which is why many people propose a carbon dividend paired with a carbon price. Poor people emit less carbon dioxide, so a scheme where a median emitter ends up with ca. 0 extra costs would be a net benefit for the poorest 50%.
Lol, yes it's very ironic. For companies there are more benefits though, so for them it shouldn't be that problematic. Maybe I'll make the private user plan free when I find enough company customers.

> The police station in Stockholm can read visitors HTTPS traffic over their WiFi in clear text and they show it to you when you are there. They simply substitute their root cert and your browser behaves like normal only they can decrypt your HTTPS traffic.

If you have actual proof of this (e.g. a copy of one of the rogue certificates issued by this CA) you can get them banned from all major browsers by emailing said proof to dev-security-policy@mozilla.org

My guess though is that you're simply incorrect; the root cert they use is most likely not trusted by modern browsers. Stockholm police can't intercept visitors' HTTPS traffic without their browser displaying an error page, or without those visitors manually marking the Stockholm police's CA as trusted.

It looks like a surprisingly large number of countries actually have national GDPR-like laws either in place now or planned soon.

For example:

* Brazil: https://iapp.org/news/a/an-overview-of-brazils-lgpd/

* Canada: https://www.globalcompliancenews.com/2020/12/24/canada-watch...

* India: https://hbr.org/2019/12/how-india-plans-to-protect-consumer-...

* China: https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=47e4d6ec-f5fe...

* Indonesia: https://www.dataguidance.com/notes/indonesia-data-protection...

* Japan: https://auth0.com/blog/the-new-japanese-privacy-law-what-bus...

None are exactly the same, but each includes many similar constraints to the GDPR, notably for the GP's point: no processing of personal data without consent. Together with the EU, those easily cover more than 50% of the global population.

I wouldn't be surprised if the US made an attempt at something similar soon. If not it feels like another area (see also: socialized healthcare, gun control, the metric system) where US norms could end up out of step with the rest of the developed world.
Life has taught me, so far, if something seems so belligerently useless or ineffective and obviously so, the answer usually isn't that I am the only one aware and everyone else just happens to be blindly oblivious. The answer usually is there's another reason or angle I am not seeing.

As someone who was a recruiter for a long time... Recruiters don't care about side projects. What they care about is being able to say a candidates has some technical interests outside of work. Do you give talks? Attend a meetup often? Record a technical podcast? Grind leetcode? Mentor engineers? Maybe you don't do any of that shit and you just go home and enjoy your life after work. That is fine too.

But what a recruiter is looking for is something they can add to your blurb when they pass along your information.

"throwaway account is currently at moonshot company using python and django to do xyz on a customer facing application. The platform is used by 50k users weekly. They also attend the SF python meetup regularly to stay connected to other python engineers."

I don't really understand the 'advocacy against' part of that. Aside from the lexical contradiction, it seems there's no actionable purpose. What does he want people to do or not do? And what will be the result if they do?
“Tact is a virtue that we find somewhere on the spectrum of dishonesty and brutal honesty.”

I like the thought, but I don’t think it’s that simple.

More like tact is mindful honesty. The tactful statement may in fact be more honest than the brutally honest statement, because it has examined the raw feeling and mined some kind of actionable/constructive information from it.

That may be an obvious distinction for most, but as someone who struggles with tact, it’s been valuable for me to recognize that the most honest statement is one that’s been really thought through for context and impact.

Tact, for me, is the act of adding why and how to an honest feeling before expressing it.

I wouldn't expect recruiters or hiring managers to be able to read code or appreciate its quality or complexity; but what about the engineers who conduct technical interviews? Would they not be interested to learn as much as they can about the candidate, especially if that candidate, if hired, will join their team?
