I'm just not sure why you think junior level employee #20 deserves more than what he agreed to when he got hired. Clearly he was making a full salary, probably with benefits, that compensated him for his work. He took no risk whatsoever.

I'm sure if junior level employee #20 said, "I'll work for half price if you include a bit more equity" there would be a lot of companies that would accept. However clearly he didn't want to take that risk at the time, so why should he get the reward?
IPv4 addresses are easily enumerable, and this is a security problem; people looking for instances of vulnerable software will routinely try every IPv4 address (or search Shodan, a search engine for what-services-are-running-on-each-IP-address). With IPv6, you can't really find random devices that aren't hooked up to DNS or otherwise trying to be found; guessing IPv6 addresses is more akin to guessing passwords.

It depends; if you are an employee of a big company and you are working from home, but you covertly move to CR for a few months, you still have to pay taxes in your official country of residence. If you want to move the residence, your company may fire you (it just happened to a good friend that moved to a neighboring country in EU, not even outside EU or a different continent).

But if you are self-employed or a different flexible arrangement, in some countries you can do the trick. For example if you live in Romania and move to CR for 2 years, you don't pay the 45% minimum income tax, which basically makes Costa Rica an "evil tax heaven" and you a very, very bad citizen of your country that is not contributing.
To me, an interesting bit of trivia is that Cognitive Science had its own introductory moment just a few months later at MIT with some overlapping attendance. This is particularly of note if you aren't of the school of thought that AI ~ ML. But cognitive science hasn't had its own equivalent period of rapid advance.

-march tells the compiler which instruction set extensions it is allowed to use. For e.g. the difference between arch=haswell and arch=sandybridge is AVX2, MOVBE, FMA, BMI, and BMI2. If you build with haswell, or any given CPU, the compiler might emit instructions that's won't run on older hardware. That's why most Linux distributions for PC are compiled for k8-generic, an x86-64 platform with few extensions (MMX, SSE, and SSE2, if I recall correctly).

In the particular case as I recall it was AVX2 that was counterproductive on haswell. Disabling it made the program faster, even though AVX2 was supposed to be a headline feature of that generation.

There are two interesting (to me) books on Pixar - one is by the (tech) founder Ed Catmull and is good on the storytelling and hard work side, and a really good "other side of the coin" is by Lawrence Levy who Jobs brought in as "the money guy" to find a way to make Pixar profitable as they tried to land Toy Story - it goes from a little way into the pre-production of the film all the way to the IPO - and it really shines a light on the inner thinking. No one really had a clue how to monetise things, the IPO was a huge risk etc etc.

Fascinating all of it, But for me the big thing to contrast is how Ed Catmull described the IPO (how did Steve plan this, how did he know? I am axed at his business acumen) versus Levy (we were all terrified, movie studios refused to give us their business models, the IPO could have failed at any moment).

In short there is always several sides to a story, and if anyone is confident of a future plan but has not done it twenty times before, they are faking it !

While nothing lately has made me "doubt the basic tenets of liberalism," quite a bit of public speech has made me doubt that the given speaker understands said tenets. Not necessarily this writer, but then again he doesn't state them either, so there is at least room for doubt. "There oughtta be a law" that anybody who uses the word 'liberal' or 'conservative' must take a quick detour to define what they mean by that. Suddenly we would all know what we were talking about.

Back in the day when everything was manual I think you could reasonably make a living farming your own land. It was hard work but it was possible.

Nowadays everything is so optimized that margins are razor-thin and the remaining farmers are being squeezed from every side, both from the demand side for their produce (supermarket chains driving prices down) and from the equipment side (John Deere & co intentionally making equipment that's impossible to repair unless you pay them exorbitant prices).
There's a lot oF China comparison in that article too, but if you compare China to India, isn't it accurate to say that China's policies in this domain have actually prevented brain-drain and created a significant domestic industry, the exact opposite of what the author and your take suggests?

looking at the globe I don't really see a strong correlation between the success of technology, even directly in social media and freedom of expression.

Nowhere on the globe do 'digital sovereignty' style politics seem to benefit American companies. Just seems like an ideological take.

Here's an anecdoate, not to dispute the empirical finding.

I recently discovered McCabe (cyclomatic) complexity and found it remarkably good! In a tiny experiment, I ran it on a 50k Python code base with a threshold of 8, and the output almost exactly matched all of the already existing `FIXME: refactor this` comments. According to McCabe the threshold to look out for is 10.

p.s: if you write Python, you already probably have the mccabe package installed through flake8. Use it like so:

$ python -m mccabe --min 8 foo.py

IPv6 is 25 years old and most companies and people do not care about it. In my opinion it's time for everyone to admit that it has been a failure and move on.

The language had error handling constructs, but in the years they'd been teaching the course, nobody had ever asked how the error handling actually was to be used in practice.

Absolutely, fundraising is often necessary. The problem is when it becomes the hallmark of success instead of simply a means to an end.
I'm not sure.

Measurement devices are designed to be very sensitive to some things and very insensitive to others; for example, you want a clock to be sensitive to how much time has passed but not what the temperature or air pressure are; you want a thermometer to be sensitive to the temperature but not how much time has passed or the air pressure; and you want a barometer to be sensitive to the air pressure but not the temperature or how much time has passed.

It's easy to make a device that's sensitive to all three, like a glass jar partly full of water, upside down in a bowl of water, resting on a bed of gravel in the bottom of the bowl, so that some air is trapped inside the jar. The water level inside the glass jar will go up when the air pressure goes up and down when the air pressure goes down. But it will also go down when the temperature goes down and up when the temperature goes up, because the trapped air will expand and contract. And over time water will evaporate from the bowl, reducing the water level outside the jar, so over time the water level inside the jar will go down.

Usually metrology involves either reducing or eliminating these extra influences (a mercury barometer works the same way as the device described above, but is much less sensitive to temperature because it doesn't have any trapped air; and it's less sensitive to time because mercury evaporates very slowly, and the level of the mercury outside the tube is very low) or balancing them against one another so they precisely cancel out. Chaotic metrology would seem to require a different approach.
Suspension of civil liberties in response to political unrest is not an uncommon response. We've seen it in the US. That doesn't make it right.

I'll respond to a similar scenario that hits a lot closer to home for me: would I have supported the detention of hundreds of Muslims after 9/11, without any evidence they'd committed a crime?

Absolutely not.

And on that basis I feel perfectly comfortable saying that the detention of 500 people in Quebec, without any evidence they'd committed a crime, was wrong.

Edit: I'm "posting too fast" so I'll respond briefly here to the posts below:

> so democratic that we have allowed votes on separation over the years

Canada hadn't allowed such votes before the October Crisis. The first referendum on Quebec sovereignty was in 1980.

Holding a referendum in 1970 would have been preferable to the violence and the suspension of civil liberties, but only the [mostly anglophone] government could have called such a vote, and it wasn't done. Not then, and up to that time, not ever.

So when you say that the Quebecois were trying to separate "by force, without vote", remember that such a vote was not an option available to them.
It’s the other way around. Food doesn’t make your teeth bad. It’s bacteria in your mouth, eating your food and shitting out enzymes that soften and damage your teeth. So before you eat, make sure those bacteria are wiped away by brushing your teeth.

What does an ideal solution look like in your view? Do snapshot queries help, so you're protected from concurrent changes?

With fquery (https://adsharma.github.io/fquery/), the problem boils down to constructing a new query with additional where clauses.

Because of the property that the shape of the query and the shape of the output are identical, nested queries fit naturally into the system, as opposed to GraphQL <-> SQL where one is nested, but the other is flat, requiring a mapping.

Given it was 25 years ago this would have been the mid 90s. They are probably multi millionaires but more so for simply getting MS stock rather than being personally rewarded for their efforts.

Your compensation was likely based mostly on your role and level rather than the personal contribution you made to the company, and a lot of the gain you realized would have been from the general growth of Microsoft share price.
On the other hand, I can think of many businesses who would be happy with such a conservative baseline.
In Grindr there are check boxes for HIV status, an entry field for date of last HIV test, a checkbox for PrEP / Not on PrEP, and constant PrEP ads/message promos. I recently logged on after not much using the site during the pandemic, and a lot of profiles say Fully Vaxed etc although there is no checkbox as of yet. (edit: I am in a blue state with high vaccination rate)

I mention this because the vaccine debate has echoes of the PrEP debate, i.e. anyone discussing side effects of Truvada et al (even when pulled directly from Truvada website) or questioning the effectiveness of the medication, were shouted down. I think the culture is primed for exerting peer pressure to take a new mRNA vaccine (which you will still need to take PrEP with, because it will not be 100% effective).

I've never had any sexually transmitted disease. I use my brain to keep it that way, not a parade of antiviral cocktails and certainly not mRNA.
