They would've happened very differently if Judaism wasn't a thing, so I'd say they were connected. Judaism is at about as important as the Roman empire, or the people who introduced horses to the Americas – though perhaps less important than the people who crossed the Beringa land bridge.
Just recently experienced this. Interviewed at a FAANG company, process started 5 months ago, about 50 emails exchanged, a dozen or so phone calls of various kinds. 6 interviews, they came back and asked to re-do 1 of them, which I obliged. Then, they were silent for about 2 weeks, I asked about the status and they said they want to re-do 2 more interviews. I kindly refused and they said they wouldn't move forward.

Lithium batteries store about 0.5 MJ/kg. Compared to the specific energy of burning lithium metal (40 MJ/kg) the energy from the electricity producing redox reaction is pretty low.

In the case of lithium batteries. Our problem isn't the stored electric energy, it's the medium being a highly flammable alkaline metal. If we could somehow store that 0.5 MJ/kg in a non-flammable medium with similar energy density it would have 5% the specific energy of a similarly massing piece of hardwood.
Actually, this is largely true even for other professions. A chef for example will slow down significantly after 5 hours of work and make more mistakes, so will manufacturing line workers and call center operators.

For sure, some jobs are more affected than others. But there are few jobs that aren't affected at all, and we shouldn't cut off the nose to spite the face.

I think WebVan showed in the 90's that you cannot add costs to the famously low-margin grocery business and also add a layer of profitable frosting for yourself to eat. 'Cause math, that's why.

Dark stores, however, could work if enough consumers like them. Just as Covid started, Best Buy turned our local store into a 50% dark model. It's the first time I'd seen such a thing.

Half of the store was converted into bank of drive-up spaces manned by workers with a mobile app. You order online and pickup there. So far, pretty normal. BUT, here's the kicker, not all of the products are available in the walk-in store! Some stuff (like the accessory I was buying) is only available on the Dark Side. Meaning if you walk in the store, you can't buy that item. It's not on the shelves and they're not setup to "go in the back" and get it.

Personally, I think this takes all the fun out of retail -- something that's definitely gotten less fun since Covid. One of the ways Best Buy has survived Amazon is that they focused on an improved in-store, in-person experience. They were trying to make shopping fun and, with cool displays and cool tech, they often did.

It's gotten less fun as they try to reduce costs. 'Cause math, again, and dark stores are just going to make that worse. But they will probably be profitable in urban centers where there's a big mobile ordering population.

It had nothing to do with the United States and the geopolical issues it created. In fact, the Americans sent a commission to Syria which deduced that what the French and Brits were doing was very stupid, at which point the Brits and French told the Americans to piss off.

Hard disagree. One of these (anti-Semitism) is far more common than the other (references to Arabs as "Semitic"). It's like saying that you've only heard of "negro" as a color. In a culture and a place (the United States) where that is absurd, assumptions of malintent and bad faith are a better heuristic.

The entire point is 2020 was a known anomaly (because of the tiny globe changing pandemic)

Hence why their quote is about downward trends in 2021

> The San Francisco Police Department is actually seeing a dip in crime in 2021, part of a larger overall downward trend. Property crimes are down nearly 8 percent so far in 2021, and larceny theft — the category of crime that includes shoplifting — is down 14.4 percent.

It's too early to start screaming doom and gloom about crime taking over
In practice, not by law.

Or at least often not by law, there are some stupid laws around WiFi/broadband etc. which can be interpreted to state that it's not allowed for a phone to be sold which can be rooted (without a hack) as the user could use it to setup a WiFi hot-spot which uses non-legal frequencies. This law was made because supposedly that (with routers) is a problem, except it isn't as far as I know and it as pure lobby work from a certain industry which also loves the user to be forced to use their routers.

(PS: Also country dependent.)
Relax. Big tech sucks by definition and that's a chance for everyone to take over. The motivation of their staff is totally different, regardless of what they have graduated, Harvard or Oxford.

> Yes - cloud rendering.

Only a very small part of the rendering needs to be done on the server; notably, the camera could still move, and the client could still make the usual heuristic predictions about where things are, so it wouldn't feel laggy.

> and buying specialist hardware

If you have a streaming rig, you already have nearly all the hardware. Just add a Raspberry Pi Zero or something, and you're good to go. (But yes, the barrier-to-cheat is still higher… at the cost of also increasing the barrier-to-play-at-all.)
I can see the appeal but would recommend against pursuing large name brand companies at this point. If your solution does what you say, that’s already incredibly novel and interesting to the right buyers; people are seeking these solutions out. The real question will be: what’s the cost? So scaling and cost reduction is where I’d focus. It’s likely non-trivial to go from 1 ton, to 1000, to 1 M.

If you’re looking for a novel way to generate excitement, how about the X-Prize?[0] You’re doing a demo of “1 tonne of CO2 per year“, that’s enough to enter, and entering is enough to tell investors. Doing well could provide dilution free capital, technical validation, in addition to free publicity.

There are no real infinities. The universe might be infinite, but the bit of it we can see and/or ever interact with is not (speed of light + expansion). So there are a finite number of stars that we will ever be able to touch before the universe goes dark. And the universe seems to have had a finite starting point. So we can calculate which stars may ever reach out to us. These are very big numbers, but they are not infinite.

Unless star trek is real. Faster than light travel opens up the door to infinities.

You enjoy proximity to other meat suits?

Without that, it sounds to me more like hell than heaven.
Up until I retired a few months ago, I routinely worked 50-60 hours a week as a team lead because I wrote code full time + meetings for several hours a day plus communicating with other teams, product and execs all day long. I rarely took vacations during the years I worked there as the work never slacked off at all. Most of my colleagues also did extra hours every week (I tried to keep my team from overworking, others did not). At least working at home I could avoid another hour a day in commuting. I did not get paid anything more to work longer, but deadlines were often arbitrary so stress was high. You could reduce the standard hours to zero and it would change nothing about that job.

If a job is more defined, like flying a plane, or operating a cash register, hours are equal to work, so limiting hours is possible.

If I could have worked just 40 every week with 3 weeks actual taken vacation, it would have been nice.
That day I switched to feedly.com, it's good, but I miss the social features of Google Reader, where I could just mark things as interesting and I and other friends could see what each other thought was interesting without it polluting other channels.
And the same invariable lie is always used, "oh, don't worry, we're only going to use this against the bad guys". Bad guys only exist in a world without nuance.

I didn't study CS at college, and I've never needed to write a sort on the job, so I've only ever written sorts in job interviews! I think I worked out a basic bubble sort, and told them it probably wasn't the fastest way of doing it but that it'd do the job.

ProcedureFlow | Full Stack .NET Developer, Frontend Developer (React) | Saint John, NB, Canada | REMOTE in Eastern Canada | Full-Time | https://procedureflow.com

ProcedureFlow is a platform for your company's procedures inspired by the way you work. We're like GitHub but for visual procedures. We have change requests, everyone can have a "draft" branch, a side-by-side diff view, etc.

ProcedureFlow has great customers that consider us vital to their business. We're growing our business and the engineering team. We have ambitious goals and need your help. We've more than doubled our revenue and staff in the last year and we recently raised $2.9 million in Series A funding.

Our technology stack includes: React, ASP.NET MVC, C#, Postgres, Redis, Node, Terraform and AWS.

We're looking for someone who has:

• Experience building cloud-based web apps in ASP.NET MVC/C#.
• Experience as a generalist working on both the frontend, backend, and anything it takes to solve problems and delight users.
• Pride in working on projects to successful completion involving a wide variety of technologies and systems.
• The ability to stitch together many different services and processes together even if they have not worked with them before.
• Empathy with their users and are stewards of crafting great experiences.
• Skills for upholding best practices in engineering, security, and design.

We try to make our technical interview process very practical and fair. We want to understand your skills and get a sense of what it's like to work together. For example, we don't use LeetCode, whiteboarding, ask you to recite an algorithms, etc.

Interested? Send us your resume, GitHub profile, or anything you'd like to showcase: https://jobs.procedureflow.com/o/senior-full-stack-developer...

Yup, this article is pretty hilarious and is just another example of how mainstream media continues to stick their noses up at any consideration of alternative viewpoints. PBS has largely followed the herd and has become yet another liberal lifestyle outlet that caters only to their liberal audience. How about we fix that first before talking about something else?

NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes | Software Engineer | Madison, WI | Full Time | Onsite (With 2 days a week remote)

https://www.northstarnm.com/careers/software-engineer/

Our Engineering team is growing fast, and we are seeking Software Engineers to help implement software for our current and next generation systems. Our team develops electromechanical instruments, devices, server software, and production equipment for medical and non-medical applications.

Stack: C# 9 (.NET 5), C++, Python 3, WinUI 3, Skia, SQLite, SQL Server, gRPC, NUnit, NLog, Git

NorthStar develops, manufactures and distributes radioisotopes that are used daily for patients needing medically important diagnostic imaging tests. NorthStar is the first company in nearly 30 years to produce the radioisotope Mo-99 in the United States. NorthStar’s processes are non-uranium based and the Mo-99 is used by radiopharmacies across the country to produce the imaging radioisotope Tc-99m. NorthStar will scale-up production over the coming months and years and intends to become the industry’s market leader. Beyond Mo-99, we have a pipeline of other novel and medically important isotopes which can further grow our business and provide development opportunities for our employees.

Working with this novel and advanced technology is challenging yet rewarding for talented individuals who want to make a difference and be part of an exciting and rapidly growing business. NorthStar’s people drive our solutions and our success, and we are committed to ensuring that we provide fulfilling work experiences and valuable development opportunities.

https://www.northstarnm.com/

If you are interested in applying for this position, please forward your resume to Careers@northstarnm.com with the position title in the subject line.
Here's some extra info about us:

ProcedureFlow is not your typical flowchart tool. We took the good parts, like the visual map, and fixed all the bad things:

• The "editing" experience is secondary. Viewing and navigating the flows is the priority.
• We democratize your company's procedures. The flows are meant to be used and improved by everyone at your company.
• We only have so many shapes that can be added. You don't just drag/drop a "rectangle" and make it purple. You add an "action" shape that has semantics.
• We recommend making smaller flows and linking them together rather than one big flowchart understood by a few people.

We offer:

• Stock options signing bonus. Topped off based on individual/company performance and each funding round.
• Vacation: 3 weeks to start. We're very flexible with additional time off (errands, family time, appointments, etc).
• RRSP matching up to 4%.
• Good health coverage.
• Good work life balance. We don’t crunch or work regular overtime – deadlines are owned by us. Rare overtime like after hours maintenance means compensated time off.
• An opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a fast growing Canadian startup. You’ll be very key to our success -- helping us grow the team into a well-oiled machine. Being an early employee means you have the possibility to grow into larger roles as the company grows (engineering IC, management, specialization, etc).
I have a feeling that “love” might not be the right word, but adding it to the queue ;)
My personal opinion below.

- SteamRuntime: A runtime environment for Steam applications.
The next generation is/will use Flatpak related technologies like Bubblewrap. It's what you target.

- Flatpak: there's close to no overhead, you can try the Steam Flatpak and see for yourself. It's aimed at desktop applications and the sandbox gets better and better. There's a FUD website called flatkill that has already been torn to pieces so don't even bother linking that. You can't instantly make all closed source or old software work in a sandbox without compromises. Flatpak-override and Flatseal exists.

- Snap: nobody cares about Snap not even Canonical. Recently a former employer said he gave up after trying for years to solve issues with Snaps in the desktop. https://s1.desu-usergeneratedcontent.xyz/g/image/1600/72/160...

- AppImage: nobody cares about AppImages they had almost two decades to try and prove it can work. It doesn't. The main developer is now trying to integrate Flatpak runtimes with AppImages and that's all you need to know to ignore this project. One of the most popular video players tried to use it and it kept crashing or having issues, and they know what they are doing.

tl;dr only Flatpak matters, SteamRuntime uses Flatpak concepts and tools, "huge overhead" is FUD

> Guess what seemingly everyone in media/politics avoid?

Would you be referring to the most-discussed conflict of all time? It's always funny to me when I hear on Reddit that "nobody talks" about Israeli war crimes. We're talking about it right now. Go look at Wikipedia's page of active conflicts - how many of them do you hear about the war crimes being committed? Coverage of Israeli war crimes is disproportionately *large* compared to other conflicts, not disproportionately small.

> The bazaar meme advocated by Raymond, "Just hack it," as opposed to the carefully designed cathedrals of the pre-dot-com years, unfortunately did, not die with the dot-com madness, and today Unix is rapidly sinking under its weight.

A level-headed comparison of actual historic Unix sources, which are publicly available for study, reveals this to be false. Unix was always "just hack it", and later Unix is, overall, an improvement over earlier Unix.

It seems I have not come across test cases in old Unix code bases.

Can someone point to some circa 1980 Unix code base where there test cases? For anything: system calls, shell, yacc, cc, ..

I think the idea may have been that if Unix rebuilds from scratch and you get to a system prompt where you can type "ls", the toolchain has been validated.
Yeah I think this mentality is why Linux isn't a good desktop OS for many people. With Mac/Win the usual mentality is that almost everything can be done graphically, even if it involves digging into the registry that's still a graphical UI that you can operate with a mouse.

As a Linux user and command line aficionado I'm not saying that's bad, but until that mentality changes it's not going to be for the masses.
