>Vendors aren't arbitrarily setting "trends"

You're right in that trends aren't arbitrary, but you've jumped from that idea to the idea that consumer needs are the reason. That's not the case. A large proportion of the time the reason why a particular trend is set isn't 'consumers want this'. It's 'the commodities to make this product are going to be particularly cheap this season - so margins should be healthy'. The McRib is a great example.

As a crystal clear example, do you think any consumer in their right mind wants their products shrinkflated? Do you think misleading packaging is based on satisfying consumer desires, or manipulating them?

The competition is for dollars, not for goodwill.
At Mozilla at least, the architects are all some of the best programmers I know. They implement huge swaths of the architecture they propose.
What I find strange is that the only media outlets that actually cover local rural topics in detail is my local NPR station.

Often they're lumped together as "yet another liberal" with PBS .... but they're more and more often the only ones covering those ares / giving voice to folks out there media wise.

The present employer and prospective employer have a different perspective on the individual. It's entirely possible, and indeed somewhat common, that individuals are hired to levels to new employers beyond what they would be able to justify promotion at their existing employer. The only way to eliminate this is prolonged and comprehensive interview process, which is what TFA is railing against.
I don't think this will ever happen in China or the US and if it happens on Europe we are more than 10 years away from that. I think the latter because there's no way European governments will ban long range cars that don't rely on a single vendor for the charging station network.
Yes. It's not that the old phone is unusable, but the new one will be noticeably faster and that's worth it to me. My most recent upgrade was going from an XR to an iPhone 12. If you compare the benchmarks, the 12 is ~30-50% faster for most workloads. And you can feel the difference when you switch between them.
Stochastic language ("Topitanians are strong"), "S is P" = "The median of S is P" = "Android 7 will..." (Very stretched interpretation.)

Logical language ("[All/Some] Topitanians are strong"), "S is P" = "All S are P" = "All old Android versions...". Without an explicit quantifier, a statement to be interpreted in logical language easily defaults to using the universal "All": the statement "Coal burns", if not stochastic (envisaging exceptions) but logical, is meant to express that all of the instances do.

"Old Android versions" does not default to "Some old Android versions".

Much more info about the types of teams I work with and problems I solve on the website.
One way, the company could maybe give some amount of money to help with the moving out cost or maybe allow for the employee to stay for a bit longer while they looking for new place to live.
the other issue is that while this would work for screen readers, it wouldn't work for me. I can see fine, but I'm losing the use of my arms, so I use vimium with dictation to navigate pages. they'd have to bake vimium into it as well...

...which suggests to me, why not allow approved browser extensions to run on the remote side? you could have a screen reader extension, I could have vimium, it wouldn't be great but it would be secure, and again, better than nothing.

> That's ridiculously short sighted and bordering on racist.

Now, here's a true, actual, case of using accusations of racism to avoid criticism. The post you responded to said nothing about guilt.

You could (absurdly) blame the West entirely for the region's state - but most ME countries are still basketcases regardless of who's fault it is (and plenty of it obviously goes to the locals, e.g. Lebanon being a great example of a country mostly ruined by local and regional actors).
> The audience is centralised, and increasingly so.

You could design a computer system that feels centralised, but is actually decentralised – like the Fediverse[0] – and have people use that. That'd solve this problem (if you had enough draw and interop to get people to switch).

The NYT title is intentionally derisive and xenophobic. The words "comic books" and the French term bandes dessinées relate to two entirely different experiences.

In the US, comics are considered by the masses to be the bane of pubescent boys or puerile adults obsessed with superheros and cosplay.

In France, graphic books (they're not all novels) are an elevated and widely-used cultural resource. They're found in educated bookstores, museum shops, libraries, and basically everywhere. And you know what? They're terrific!

France (and Belgium) have access to wonderful historical series on every period you can name. Tons of biographies of famous, real people. And beautiful, illustrated tomes which they can use to spark their imagination and learning.

It would be more accurate to say that Americans aren't spending money on graphically illustrated books because that's not an accepted part of our culture here, rather than to try to slam the French for something cool that works well for them.

It doesn't ban it outright, but it brings heightened scrutiny from the IRS that might put miners out of business. At least, that's what the article is suggesting.
This trend is absolutely ridiculous. I'm currently in "Round 3" and have FIVE interviews this week, four of which are technical. I already passed the technical in Round 2.

As someone with 10+ years experience in the industry, I've about had it with these technicals. I'm just going to start refusing. I'm happy to have a long technical discussion on my work experience and to provide you with portfolio examples. Take your hacker rank problems and get out of here.
The USA tech industry did start with hard-tech. The hint is in the name "Silicon Valley". The spur in innovation in the American tech industry started with companies working on projects from the defence and aerospace industry. Along the way they lost the plot, mostly during the dot-com bubble when the investment/banking/family-office industry(that does not understand tech) got heavily involved into it to make quick money! That diversion from hard-tech to click-bait tech has continued even today, because the investors want quick return whereas for hard-tech you have to have a lot of patience to see positive outcome.

One country that, to some extent, successfully emulated the early Silicon Valley type strategy is Israel that has encouraged lot of personnel from defence and aerospace industry to form commercial ventures.

Not many countries understand this point; many go by the PR bling that is spewed by the USA internet companies(mostly pushed by get-rich-quick minded VCs) and try to encourage this type of non-essential startups in the hope of being "successful similar to Silicon Valley". The definition of successful is obviously is being set by these get-rich-quick VCs rather than the country itself. It is not surprising that you see lot of the VCs/Accelerators/Incubators fund me-too type companies in other geographies in the hope that they will be acquired by companies in the US! It is all bait-and-switch game and not meant to develop R&D and innovation that benefits societies at large. Benefits to the society, if at all there is one, is the by-product or after-thought of this whole process.
There's an entire genre of these kinds of books that extrapolate generalities (life throughout the Universe) from a single data point (life on Earth), but the truth is, that's not even an educated guess.

We do not know if our evolutionary pressures are universal. We do not know if the evolutionary solutions developed here are appropriate even on other Earth-like planets, much less everywhere. Sensitive dependence on initial conditions could lead to radically different planetary environments, necessitating radically different mechanical solutions to survival, some (many, most?) of which we will never have even imagined.

What creatures would form under an intense magnetic field? In methane? In close orbit around a dim star? In a hot cloud nebula? Could we even recognize them as alive, much less intelligent? Definitely not if we're looking for bats and monkeys and octopuses

No, I think the whole genre of "life is much the same everywhere" suffers from a profound lack of imagination

Or it could be designed to be very small so as to efficiently send out at near light speed, and designed to quickly adapt and replicate in any hospitable environment.

I don't think there needs to be a government owned internet media company.

Sometimes I wonder how weird and wild a government run social media company would be. Open to US citizens only, identity verification required? No rules other than actual speech laws? No anonymity?
I didn't even realize this existed, despite using it. It seems this is what's responsible for storing/managing my "Starred" locations/businesses on Google Maps. I wonder if that ability is going away too. That'd be a bit of a shame.

Ah, well if you're going to shit on Go/Java/C#/C++ I won't stop you :)
> The idea that we'd ever let Japan have a nuke is ludicrous. Do you really think we'd let a country we nuked twice have such weapons?

Not ludicrous at all - Trump was open to Japan and Korea acquiring nukes. [1]

> After all, it wasn't china that sanctioned india when they developed nukes...

That was at a time when India's wasn't clearly aligned to the US. Subsequently it was the US which drafted the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) exemption for India.

> If there is a war in asia, it will be a war for liberation - not from china, but from the west.

What liberation? People hold favorable views of the West (compared to China) in East Asia, South East Asia, or India. Many of them are now in disputes with China, which often involve violence. The situation is different in West Asia - but it's always been that way.

> It's so funny how we truly deluded ourselves into thinking we are the good guys in asia and not the murderous colonial powers that we truly are.

Modern western influence is largely positive compared to the alternatives.

CampusOptics | Lead Mobile Software Engineer | Austin, TX | Onsite (~2 days a week)

CampusOptics is building a first-of-its-kind facilities and safety management platform for distributed campuses, starting in higher education. We enable teams of facilities and safety professionals to see the big picture, stay on top of the small details, and prevent harm on their campus.

We've used contractors to build our React Native application, and we're looking for an engineer to take the lead on continued development. You'll walk into a high-quality codebase that's easy to work with, but you'll have something between input and autonomy on everything from ESLint rules to testing strategy to product direction.

We're a small team with big goals and lots of experience. We'd love to find someone excited to join early and eager to help lay the foundation for our practices, product, team, and codebase.

Email me (I'm a cofounder, the CTO, and the hiring manager) at jcody@campusoptics.com to hear more or start a conversation.

That's assuming I'd work at the same company forever. Different places of work have different insurance plans
>> Is this refinement types

Well it does include that kind of behaviour but it's quite a bit more than just that. E.g. you could express something like "the parameter must be a date within the next 5 business days" - there's no static restriction. I'm not necesarily saying you should but just to give an illustrative example that there's less restrictions on your freedom to express what you need than in a static system.

>> types are isomorphic with schemas

I don't think that's a good way to think of this, you're imagining a rigid 1:1 tie of data and spec yet i could swap out your spec for my spec so that would be 1:n but those specs may make sense to compose in other data use cases so really it's m:n rather than 1:1
No, I just think it is interesting, and I don't have a better term for it. For me - right up until reading your comment - such a thing was black-and-white, and I see that there is some wiggle room there based on the rest of the relationship, so thank you for that. I do believe that if you were caught in a situation like that on the way to the door from the register that it might cause a lot of trouble though, which in turn might end up with you stopping to visit that particular store.

I've seen enough of this in a local supermarket (Albert Heijn, a large chain in NL), which has switched to self checkout + random checks on a lot of checkout lanes.

Older people that are more or less forced to use the self checkout because there are now too few cashiers end up making mistakes and are then treated like shoplifters if they end up with a random check. Quite frustrating.
Good point. The title needed to be shortened for HN.
