I have done projects regarding the conception, construction, maintenance, marketing and distribution of online applications my entire live and have coded on more than 120 websites, APIs, apps. I believe that there really is a right tool for the job and that microservices help realize this immensely.

I help companies achieve their technology goals by automating their development operations, giving new wind to legacy projects and by restructuring the connection between their customers / partners or teams.

I love to interface with others departments to bring the shared vision to live and flourish with the challenges on the way. I am well suited for solo projects but also love working with and leading bigger teams.
You’re giving a lot of benefit of the doubt to the dictatorship. Establishing complete control over emerging power structures (tech industry) is more likely to be their goal.
It won’t work for them to lock the tools by Bluetooth. Open the tool, remove the deadman switch, and the tool works. A power tool is a switch that connects the power source to the motor.
Why not? At one point not so long ago the 40 hour work week was just a pipe dream
That report doesn't explicitly states omitting criticism against Israel, any report about anti-semitism that isnt explicitly stating when are Israel/Palestinian conflict comments considered anti-semitism (and when are not) is lacking depth.
Out of curiosity, which parts or topics of the 'calc 2' curriculum involved calculators? Where you using it for numerical analysis or for symbolic algebra.
> It has nothing to do with anti-semitism.

Anti-semitism has nothing to do with the movement to create a homeland for the Jewish people (which then tried to garner the support of various governments, which is where the Balfour Declaration comes in)? It has everything to do with it.

Were there various colonialism-related issues involved too, of course. But pretending like that's the entire story is quite disingenuous.

Lots of work in public on my blog (notes.eatonphil.com) and Github (github.com/eatonphil).
Sounds about right. At my employer, DevOps expects that we fill in our time sheets completely in order to represent the whole eight hour workday. So we do. Things like taking breaks, talking to coworkers, waiting around for answers from other teams, meetings, etc., all of that goes towards active project work. However, the projects are estimated using effort hours and they do not include inflated 'we need to look productive the whole day' tasks.

If an individual goes under the full eight hours, it reflects poorly on them during evaluations. If the division goes overtime on project hours, nothing bad happens. So naturally each developer is incentivized to jot down extra time and disincentivized from tracking time truthfully. And yet management wonders why we go overtime on so many buckets!

And everyone knows the numbers aren't real, yet the song and dance must go on. I really wish we had a term for this in English. I suppose 'Potemkin' sort of applies?
Assuming an average price of $330, that would be 2000 devices. Or ~6 items a day, every single day of the year. that's not from shop lifters, that's from the employees out the back door.
The organized crime groups could not make it happen at scale without a few dirty managers. Don’t let Home Depot fool you here: most of their shrinkage is from the inside.
I completely support freedom of speech. But what if there are people or companies who are making money from spreading complete lies which are very harmful to the society? I am happy for them to say what they want to small groups of people, but should they be allowed access to public platforms with millions of people?
The best approach I know of is for the government or other large employers to make the shift to a 4 day workweek. Once 10s of millions are doing it, it’ll become more of a cultural norm.
You were likely looking for 81.25% which—with the universally accepted default browser font-size of 16px—equates to a whole 13px (16 * 0,8125).
> Alternatively, you could provide the geometry without providing the semantic information.

Yes - cloud rendering. It's _a_ solution but comes with tradeoffs. Namely, it introduces large amounts of latency, and costs a dumpster truck of money.

> You can make an aim bot by connecting the output of your monitor to a hardware-emulated mouse.

Anticheat is a cat and mouse game, and raising the barrier to entry improves the experience no end. There's a _big_ difference between downloading and running an exectuable, and buying specialist hardware to cheat at a game.
Just curious, is the underlaying technology for recognising shapes open source?
Frankly when us Jews call out anti-Semitism, the whole room stands up to tell us what is and is not anti-Semitism. Imagine doing that to LGBT folks or other minorities. I'm not even much of an Israel supporter but it is exhausting to hear a bunch of white progressives who have never set foot in the Middle East tell me I am wrong about the criticism I hear.

Recently, folks at Rutgers have been criticizing Campus Hillel as a Zionist organization. The place where your average secular Jewish college students gets Challah bread once a semester. Yet saying "that is anti-semitic" invites a whole bunch of people to whitesplain to you why it isn't.

> but is clear as day dog whistling.

I think it is dog whistling, but if you aren't familiar with anti-Semitic arguments and angles of attack, I don't think it is clear at all, which is probably the point.

On the surface it just seems like a list of facts and some are even seemingly laudatory, such as helping to end apartheid. The bad stuff is subtle or lower down the page.

If I were a moderator and just doing a quick check, I probably wouldn't spot anything wrong with the page.

> Hopefully pressure from the low end tool manufacturers who try and compete on value keeps these kinds of things from happening.

Looking at the sad state of TVs (where the cheap brands just hop on the bandwagon and make a quick buck), I am not very hopeful. Everyone will be as consumer-hostile as they can get away with if they think they can make a few cents that way.
That's what I thought the title was referring to and my initial thought was it would be brilliant to "lojack" your power tools.
You mean implicit type conversions? That's a thing you can get somewhat used to. But it throws off beginners and can introduce super weird bugs, because they hide bugs in weird ways, even if you are more experienced. Yes, I find strong typing strictly better than weak typing.

An even better example of this would be Excel, the horror stories are almost incredible.

So even if your environment is dynamic, you want clarity when you made a mistake. Handling errors gracefully and hiding them are very different things. The optimal in a dynamic world is to facilitate reasoning while not restricting expression.
This is what I’m working on right now too, built around an APU board. I’m also wrestling with hostapd to get WiFi working as well, just because. Once it’s working I’ll try and write it up.
"I’d Say, In A Given Week, I Probably Only Do About Fifteen Minutes Of Real, Actual Work.” -- Peter, Office Space

I've worked in lots of offices and watched people, especially "important" ones. It's fun to watch. They're so busy the strain is enormous. But if you pay attention, they spend lots of time calling their sister, talking to the Schwann's man.. "I work so hard I never leave work" but little actual work is done, but much is made of the number of hours spent there.
Don't build a new business without money in the bank
Not if it's using an app that stores the info in some manufacturers database (just imagine the marketing goldmine of tracking users usage).
Can you explain your idea further? Perhaps with data about the percentage of economic value which is the direct product of hours worked which cannot be worked by other people? Link it to some attempt at an argument that, despite high profits and the disparities we've seen between worker pay and productivity, companies are simultaneously at 100% utilization with no slack capacity and cannot possibly afford to hire additional workers?
> Pure functions make code design easier: In fact, there’s very little design to be done when your codebase consists mostly of pure functions.

Ummm... I am a little bit fearful about your codebase.

If you don't see the need for designing your FP system it probably mostly means it is being designed ad hoc rather than explicitly.

If you are trying to compare to OOP system done right, you will notice that this includes a lot of work in identifying domain model of your problem, discovering names for various things your application operates on, and so on. Just because you elect to not do all of this doesn't mean the problem vanishes, it most likely is just shifted to some form of technical debt.

> Clojure is a dynamic language which has its advantages but not once I stumbled upon a function that received a dictionary argument and I found myself spending a lot of time to find out what keys it holds.

Dynamic typing is a tradeoff which you have to be very keenly aware of if you want to design a non-trivial system in a dynamically typed language.

It is not a problem with Clojure, it is just a property of all dynamically-typed languages.
> the data of symlinks (typically file names)

This means the name of the file the symlink points to. It's not the file name of the symlink itself.

If you want to do mouse-intensive work on a laptop the mac trackpad is the only way to go.
Did you intend to use the word menial? I'd say it applies much better to tech workers who are subject to "crunch time" with any kind of regularity, or who lack the ability to say "no" to weekend or evening work, than to the rest.
The problem with banging the drum about "legitimate criticisms of Israel" is that they're co-occurent with illegitimate criticisms and anti-semitism.

There's also a very special kind of monomania. Some big account will post on Twitter or Facebook lamenting violence. "This synagogue in London got vandalized!" for instance, or perhaps "this US citizen living in the state of New York was beaten and there's security camera footage." Then about 500 people will immediately jump in to post, "Israel is bad!!"

Here, for instance, is Chelsea Football Club tweeting this past May, about a week after a Norwich synagogue was graffiti'd with a Swastika:

https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1396189477173923853
"Chelsea FC stands with the UK's Jewish community, and Jewish communities across the world, in the face of rising antisemitism. This hatred and intimidation towards the Jewish community is unacceptable and must stop."

Here's a blue check reply (accompanied by dozens of random Tweeters with the same sentiment):

"Condemning Israel attacks is not antisemitism, Supporting Palestine and against settlers is not antisemitism, Anti-Zionism is not Antisemitism".
https://twitter.com/ManarSarhan/status/1396207673473970190

Consider replacing this with any other race. "Discrimination against African-Americans is bad!" posts the NFL, as someone has burned a cross in front of a Black church. But the Twitter replies stridently call out: "Look at the violence in Africa! Look at the dictatorships! Look at all those schoolgirls who were kidnapped in Zimbabwe!" Would you really tolerate that kind of reply for a second longer than it took you to overcome your disbelief?
And? What does that have to do with changing what qualifies as a full time job?
The govt mandated that in France the TV channels cannot broadcast movies on Saturday.

Then came Netflix, non-national channels, streaming, torrents and what not but the rule stayed the same.

While, as a French, I strongly support govt interventionism, there are plenty of cases where they happily belive it is still 1990.

And don't get me started with the use of govt Internet services which are terrible.

> result in legal action compelling the company to prove the employee was failing

The company doesn’t have to prove that the employee was failing. It’s perfectly legal for a company to fire an employee because they the employee likes the wrong football team.

The employee or people pursuing legal action on behalf of multiple employees has to prove that the company fires the employee(s) because they were a member of a protected class.

Assuming there are no incriminating emails stating that that was the reason, the only realistic way to do that is to show a pattern.

If an employee decides to sue, whether you had them on a documented performance improvement plan for 6 months or 6 days isn’t going to be the deciding factor.
I've worked with people who have this mindset. Their work product definitely shows that more isn't better. They had higher defect ratios and in general lower output per hour. With one exception, they were trying to make up for being less productive by spending more time creating the appearance of work rather than taking time out to recharge and doing better work in the same hours as others.

This pattern doesn't make you a hero, it makes you a liability.
This article is more than your classic "the CCP is just making moves to solidify it's own power."

The article claims the actions taken by China also represent real philosophies about what constitutes economic health. They don't want their greatest minds optimizing ad tech or finding tax loop holes.
Implementing a Lisp cons algorithm as-is using a Vec is so far from being apples-to-apples that it makes me question the results of the entire article, despite the fact that things were eventually "optimized" to not do this.

Gathering a list by calling cons over and over is only remotely advisable when you're working with a linked-list (which you are, in Lisp). Blindly replacing it with a Vec demonstrates either a total ignorance of CS fundamentals, or a willingness for the benchmarks to come out a certain way.

A real "apples-to-apples" comparison would at least have Rust using an actual linked-list for this algorithm. A mutable Vec is more idiomatic and probably more efficient, but cloning an immutable Vec at every step turns O(N) into O(N^2).

Note that this isn't Rust apologism: the same would be true if the author did this with a C++ std::vector, or a Java ArrayList, or a Python list, or a JavaScript array. Most languages' go-to structures for holding a sequence have roughly the performance characteristics of a vector.

I guess the article at least fulfills its title: "How to write slow Rust code"
> China may simply see things differently. It’s possible that the Chinese government has decided that the profits of companies like Alibaba and Tencent come more from rents than from actual value added

Excellent observation, and I hope, for China's sake, that this is the reason.

The United States is likely in for a long-term rude awakening when it finally realizes that an economy predicated on negative-value-add activities like clicking heart icons on photos, repackaging financial securities into products with impossible-to-detangle risk profiles, advertisement and addiction optimization, and political outrage, will not remain any definition of "global superpower" for long.

Facebook and Netflix are excellent examples of companies that contribute greatly to our GDP whilst simultaneously draining our reserves of actual capital and mental health.
Yea I agree... the winky face emojis and comment sections tell you the audience knows exactly what they're looking at though.

Spacelift | Remote | Europe | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer | $80-120k

We’re a VC-funded startup building an automation platform for Infrastructure-as-Code, adding a Policy-as-Code layer above it, in order to make IaC usable in bigger companies, where you have to take care of state consistency, selective permissions, a usable git flow, etc.

On the backend we're using 100% Go with AWS primitives. We're looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps'y stuff sometimes (because in a way it's the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem. Ideally you'd have experience working with an IaC tool, i.e. Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation, or SaltStack.

Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and already have a lot of happy and satisfied clients.

We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don’t give us a business advantage, as well as sane working hours.

We’ve also got investment days on Fridays, when you can work on anything you want, as long as it could possibly benefit Spacelift in some way.

If that sounds like fun to you, apply at https://spacelift.recruitee.com/ or email me at kubam at spacelift dot io!
Tremendous news, thanks for sharing. Best of luck with your product.
I had a real sweet tooth as a kid and learned early on that a bruised Red Delicious was a sweeter apple, so I would take some apples from my parents' kitchen and bruise them all over and let them rest for a day. The result was not only sweeter, but more flavorful too.
