this article is brought to you by the fat pigs that push opensourced code stealing at the top companies into closed source systems that gets rewritten (on top of mit/apache licensed code) again and again under the guise of "innovation" .

what the cathedral gave us? wifi and usb standards that add literal nothing and just update the encapsulation frequencies every now and then with great fanfare.

or maybe apple changing from bash to zsh?

this thread is full of pundits complaining about gnu autotools but they are not aware of the move to different systems being discussed in very open forums. mostly people repeating propaganda they hear while being allowed to feel smugly supperior and still having no knowledge of the topic.

gpl is not creating a perfect world because of fools who fall for this.
Sounds like you should start a side hustle as a headhunter!

P.S. we'll hire you! Send the candidates my way plz!
This is normal most places (in the US, at least) AFAIK. Cops don't really investigate property crime unless it's very serious (I know for a fact that several tens of thousands in stolen goods via a break-in spree at multiple businesses isn't enough for them to put forth any effort, in my very-much-not-SF city) or someone with connections was the victim. They're like "OK here's your report for insurance, bye. No, stop trying to show me a list of places the culprit and their car's plates were assuredly caught on camera, I don't give a shit. Bye." Anyone who's been through this once already only bothers to report anything if an insurance claim will be made, since they know the cops won't do anything even if there's a very high likelihood they could track down the culprit. Unless they catch them in the act, nothing's gonna happen.
I had a friend who had a similar experience to the candidate in the article, but at T-Mobile.

He was unemployed. They interviewed him 5 times over a month and a half, and tried to get him on site for a 6th interview loop roughly 2 months after starting the whole process. They were most put out when he told them he'd already got another job. He was amazed at how offended they were, especially that he'd wasted their time.

He was, apparently, supposed to just sit around and wait for them to make a decision, because who needs money to pay for things like rent, food etc?

Monolith is easier to handle. With microservices, any network connection could break, you need a lot more code to handle all that complexity and orchestration.
For what's its worth, I really didn't think the technical interviews were nightmares. It was mostly talking with very intelligent people who were volunteering their time to screen candidates. Though how much one enjoys brain teasers over productive work is of course a matter of personal perference. Everything else (emails, phonecalls, etc) were definitely tedious.

As for working at Google, I think it really depends on the person. For me it was a good gamble in terms of both immediate learning and future opportunities; for others it won't be. I do find the opportunity to have my code (or what's left of it after reviews anyways) reach billions of people a thrill like no other though.

This exactly. The U.S. economy doesn’t exist in a competition-free vacuum. This “solution” would hurt those at the left side of the income/wealth distribution the most, but would hurt all of the U.S. to some degree.

Yard Stick PBC | Senior Product Designer | US-Based Remote | Full Time | useyardstick.com

Yard Stick measures soil carbon. Scientists and farmers alike know that climate-friendly agricultural practices have the potential to remove atmospheric CO2 at gigaton/year scale. When these practices are adopted, more carbon is stored in soils, improving soil health and fighting climate change. But significant measurement challenges have held soil carbon efforts back - until now.

By reducing the cost of soil carbon measurement by 90%+, Yard Stick will dramatically expand the opportunities for evidence-based regenerative practices to simultaneously improve ecosystem health, increase farmer income, and combat climate change.

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer. You should enjoy all aspects of design, from speaking with customers, through UX design, up to measuring the adoption of a feature. You will be our second full-time hire, and therefore we need someone passionate about building a mission-driven company. Market rate salary (anchored to SF) with generous equity.

Oh, I wasn't talking about in my organization (which was actually famous for Quality). I was talking about making posts in tech communities, like this one.

Software Quality is not a popular topic for discussion. HN isn't too bad, but some other communities react to Quality discussions, as if I was insulting God.

I've learned to just keep my opinions to myself. Even then, when I talk about my own experiences, and my own process, it is not received well.
Well also, a Von Neumann probe is a type of life. It's very unlikely that a self-replicating machine would not develop it's own technological drift in the replication protocol.
>The bazaar meme advocated by Raymond, "Just hack it," as opposed to the carefully designed cathedrals of the pre-dot-com

The pre dot com days were not a golden age of software quality.

He also has this idea that Unix is a "beautiful cathedral". No, the descriptions of the original environment where Unix was designed resembles to a internal AT&T version of a bazaar. Multics was the well architected, beautiful cathedral.
wait... are we sure we're reading these numbers right?

that $1 billion. is that the income earned from the sale? Or is that the profit the retailer keeps all told?

As an example, how many chainsaws does Home Depot have to sell before it pays for the theft of one chainsaw? I would assume much more than one.

I think the NRF are just listing the sum MSRP's of legitimately sold items vs stolen items. You can't just divide that to get the "portion of harm"
Also the works of Marc-Antoine Mathieu are highly recommended!

The annoying thing is that the store again has all the power here. If you get overcharged for something that was supposed to be on sale, scans as the wrong item, or the price label is different than the scan, it is on YOU to notice, then wait in line in person to explain the problem and get it corrected.

There is no penalty for the store and you don’t get any additional compensation, so most people will say, “I guess it’s just $2 so it’s not worth fixing.” But suppose this happens to thousands of people. The company always wins.
No. Maybe at Whole Foods? But at Publix/Kroger the chickens were in a separate fridge that customers never got to buy from or access and the chickens went straight from the truck into that fridge.

I say this as someone who worked Deli at Publix/Kroger and made those rotisserie chickens.

The unused chickens would get used for chicken salads and stuff like that, but we also threw alot of them away too. Everything the deli used at Publix was used just for the deli, at no point did we take stuff about to expire and use it for our stuff except for bread that had only a couple of days left from the bakery. We had our fridge and supply section and the grocery had their own section and the two rarely met.
It’s not as nice as that one. I described it in my other comment. The workflow is okay, but that visual context of to/from branches in your screenshot is something I wish SourceTree had.
Why are companies afraid of litigation?
My understanding has been that, excluding discrimination on the basis of a few protected categories, sexual harassment retaliation, and whistle-blower protections, in the US private employers can fire non-union employees at any time without cause. (IANAL)

Are large companies really afraid of PR in firing individuals? If a company with many thousands of employees fires one person, outside of the C-level officers is that a news story? Even if disgruntled former employee tries to say anything disparaging, doesn't that immediately make them less credible as a source?
Why Does Customer Service Stink?
News coverage on this is all over the place, to sum it up:
1. It is a person specific and purpose specific pre-paid voucher that is either a QR code or a simple text code anyone can receive on their phone.

2. Even private companies can use this system to give vouchers to their employees. Companies can use this system to movie ticket coupons, meal coupons.

3. Government plans to use this system to give out scholarships, subsidies for essentials and this acts like a discount code. You use this code when paying college tuition fees
i wouldn't qualify that as stealing since it was an innocent (although beneficial) mistake

had you plan to confuse the manager to let him ask you to type stuff then it would be different

I had a similar issue one day, while showing some prices to my mother I had to take one box of something out of the shelf. After criticizing the absurd premium of that mall, we walked out. 100m outside the store I notice I still had that box under my arm.. somehow there was no anti-stealing widget and I simply walked out with it unknowingly. It was one petty CDROM label sticker press from the early 2000s, $20 top .. mother and I decided not to go through the hurdle of negotiating good faith return with the security guy. (the irony is that 3 years prior I did steal, out of a joke-then-dare moment with a buddy, stuff and got caught; so when I realized I did "steal" again .. I became livid and started to look at my mother mortified saying I swear I swear I didn't while she looked at me dumbfounded not understand what the hell I was talking about)
The TI-84 was worth it for how much easier it made doing assignments. The extra screen space and the ability to easily edit the equations you entered and recall past entry probably saved me hundreds of hours. Just need to make sure I was proficient enough with my Casio scientific calculator for tests and exams.
Here is the website for the initiative https://pass.culture.fr/

Manga is explicitly mentioned in the introduction. If the government didn't want teens to buy comics, they would have excluded it, and most importantly, not mention manga on the front page!

If by that initiative, they get teens to go to their local bookstore instead of ordering their comics on Amazon, it is a huge win, and one of the big reasons this pass exists.
Intrinsically safe energy storage is an oxymoron. The objective is storing large amounts of energy to be released slowly over time - if there exists any possibility whatsoever of imperfect containment, there is (by definition) some probability that it will fail and release that energy all at once.

Can they be made to fail safely? Sure.

Can they be made to never fail? Not for what anyone's willing to pay for them.

In all likelihood, yes.

But when dealing with infinity, we must appreciate the likelihood of the unlikely too.

Personally, I favor the prospect of the insanely lucky idiot race, that clumsily and completely by chance manage to launch a probe so seemingly sophisticated that every sentient race that discovers it readily submit to its perceived superiority.
Not really, but maybe it’s because I don’t track habits or hobbies (go to gym, write, play guitar, etc)
Pretty much all motor controllers these days are silicon based.
Just another instance where American teenagers are more advanced.

The US has a violent minority population that persists in offending.

Germany is importing a similarly violent cohort. I'm sure your teens will catch-up.
> didn't alert me until I tried running the program

That's because that's not how Clojure developers normally work. You don't do changes and then "run the program". You start your REPL and send expressions from your editor to the REPL after you've made a change you're not sure about. So you'd discover the missing argument when you call the function, directly after writing it.
I don't think any games rely on more than a few dozen megabits of Internet bandwidth at a few hundred packets per second. And that netfilter/iptables NAT on a Xeon is not gonna add more latency than the equivalent netfilter/iptables NAT that runs on a typical ARM/MIPS home gateway/router.
I don't understand how you say AppImage is better when it doesn't even provide runtimes and SDKs. The hardest problem is to know which APIs to use, and AppImage provides zero support for the developer there.
i've been using service workers for a few years now. I still don't know what they are for. I just copy/paste from docs
> Where do you propose they gather? Freenode? Matrix? Some other obscure digital hangout?

The hanging out is kind of the problem as it feeds the always-on addiction. Some kind of daily or weekly newsletter with a selection of letters to the editor.
It's not just paying the person to get your product after you pay for it; they also need to rearrange their space to store those things (many which are bulky) towards the front of the store. Locked cases are an in between step, need a person to help, but don't need a dedicated space at the front.
If we are talking about the stuff here (regulation of internet companies) there plenty of speeches, 5-year plans, writings in party newspapers that explains the thinking behind the actions.

Ok, true for replies on unrelated subjects, but stand-alone posts with criticism against Israel also attract that kind of people so then what is the solution, to not post criticism against Israel because it attracts antisemitic people? To not create groups on FB about it for the same reason?

You can make a consumption tax progressive! You'd probably want to make it a bit more progressive than the current income tax brackets, to cancel out the effect you're describing.

Re: implementation: make putting money into a bank account tax deductible and pulling money out taxable, then continue to use the existing income tax system. Any money you earn that you don't spend is a tax write-off, any money you spend that you didn't earn this year is something you have to pay more taxes on.
Those of us who are affected by inaccessibility don't have the luxury of coldly viewing this as a resource management problem. Sure, the company has limited resources and pressing needs, but so do we.

Nevertheless, I appreciate that talking about whether a company or its leadership care about this stuff is beside the point. I'm calling on Cloudflare to do the right thing, regardless of whether they care about it.

The point I'm trying to make is people often use the term "value to society" like it's an answered question. We know it's not answered as that people's values vary. Centrally deciding what is useful has proven to be disastrous (see the Soviet Union and every other centrally planned economy). Free markets allow us to express our values at an individual level rather than having an authority deciding what to value.

I think datacenters will opt for more ARM architectures before introducing liquid at scale. Things like Gravitron and Apple Silicon are changing the landscape there.
> because nothing can eat them

But I assume they're not immune-invulnerable.
Indeed, UNIX will definitely not be forgotten 5 centuries from now (if humanity still exists by then). It will at least be in the history books, taught about in schools, and some quirky people will for sure be running it as a "retro computing" hobby.
User reports are indeed a common tranche of anti-cheat systems.

But in chess terms "Middling player occasionally made suspiciously good moves" is a pretty weak cheat report. But if you can tell they had stockfish running and changed windows to it several times in the course of the game? Well, now you've got a very clear cheat report.

More broadly, many gamers are chasing the dopamine rush of winning, complete with slot-machine-style flashing lights, music and dancing character animations. Being awarded a win by e-mail a day or two later doesn't really compare.
is it really hard to read (could be) or is it just that the average coder never saw lisp or sml and doesn't want to bother bearing the responsibility to learn something alien on duty ?
