I switched from my 2015 MBP to a System76 Darter Pro, and I've been very happy with it. (The MBP was dying, and the new MBPs had the execrable touchbar, and the broken keyboard.)

There are no good iPhone alternatives. I now don't trust either Google or Apple on privacy, for different reasons. As a practical matter, Apple is probably better for me, as I find it very unlikely that governments forcing Apple to do their bidding are going to be interested in me, personally.

I am relying on the Apple cloud, and I hate it. I have mp3 files for all my music, and I will soon stop relying on Apple for music completely. I take photos on my phone, and they go to the cloud. I think I'm stuck there, but again, I do have my own copies (via download to my wife's Mac). Ideally, I could get photos from my phone to my Linux laptop directly, but I don't know of a good way to do that.

Commas, quotes, colons, newlines, and hyphens (JSON and YAML separators) can occur in content as well. How is that any different from separators occurring in csvs?

In practice, I used TSVs a lot, as tabs do not usually occur in most data. Alternatively, you could use pipes (|) or control characters as field or row separators.
These are the guidelines that the Rust language standard library holds itself too, and tend to be good advice for authors of libraries.

By no means should anyone be intimidated by this. This list is, well, something like a code review guide similar to what you'd find to make changes to Postgres or Python. New APIs that are part of the standard library need to be be consistent, performant, debuggable, documented, and so on.

Following this list for a hobby, side project, or for the 0.1.0 release of a new library is entirely unnecessary.
Technically speaking, it's true the slope must by necessity decrease as you get older, but the effect is grotesquely oversold. It can be compensated for by the fact that when an older person goes to pick up some new tech, they're quite likely to have some previous tech like it they've already picked up and just be filling in some gaps instead of starting from scratch.

I don't think the correlation is large enough in practice to be a useful metric. I'm pretty sure I learn new things faster than I did twenty years ago because usually I have a lot less stuff to learn. Learning how to spell queries for your tenth database is much easier than the first one, for instance, and I've got SQL, NoSQL, columnar, embedded, and I dunno how many other adjectives of experience vs. some relatively young programmer encountering their second database type. My slope on such a task can approach vertical whereas a younger person may need a couple of weeks.

(This example is on my mind because literally today I'm helping someone diagnose why a query is slow on a database I've never even used before. But I understand the fundamentals of how the DB works, and can read the docs really quickly now, because I don't even know how many DBs I've used at this point. Depends on how you define them.)
JSON/JSONL is not self-describing for many of the most common tabular data use cases. There's no date type or currency type.

If you are going to displace a standard, it has to be significantly better than the old.
You don't have to add a real picture, just add the hash of a benign, (new) cat picture to the db, then put the cat picture on the phone, then release a statement saying the person has popped up on your list. By the time the truth comes out the damage is done.

This is not at all borne out in reality. When the FBI rounded up a big ring of CSAM creators/consumers a few years back it came out that they (the people sharing) had rules for how to interact with the community that would have fully protected them, but many of them were sloppy. Same thing with the amount of CSAM that FB reports.
These people are morons! They claimed to be crème de la crème and watch. Few years ago they wanted to force Apple to create a "secure backdoor". Hope we gonna get more details.

What does a libertarian have to say about market players preventing normal functioning of the market by restricting knowledge like actively resisting studies on products?
This does happen in practice. Usually it is remedied by submitting an issue or a PR to your dependency upstream and getting them to fix it.

If you're really impatient you can implement the trait yourself (with some hacking involved): wrap the type in a new struct and implement the trait there.

Why hacking around like that? Rust requires at least one of: the type, or the trait; to be originated in your crate.
> Everyone has an ssn already wouldn’t that qualify for the mark?

Yes, the SSN is already used as a very weak form of identification, something it was never intended to.

Good and balanced summary.

I agree that more docs or articles may be necessary about changesets and their capabilities.
C++ is undoubtedly a complex language, however I think most disregard how complex others also are.

For example, when checking the feature list of latest versions from Python, Java, C#, F#, Typescript as a couple of examples.
I'm getting this weird "sovereign citizen" vibe from the lawsuit. I wouldn't be surprised if it winds up with her claiming the court has no jurisdiction over her because the courtroom flag has a fringe (and therefore it's an admiralty court rather than a land-based court), or some such rot.

On the other hand, she seems to be represented by an actual attorney who actually passed the bar, so maybe I'm off base...
Those sounds like the exact justifications for Dockers valuation and that didn't seem to pan out.
Not everything is printable, comparable, or equalable (#[derive(Debug PartialEq)] isn't guaranteed to work - it has a few preconditions).

So you live with it. If you draw a comparison to C++, almost none of these things are implemented for dependencies and there's no easy helper to add it.

In cases like this, since everything is on GitHub it turns out to be pretty easy to make a PR to fix - it's usually only a few characters of code change.

API names and such are of course breaking changes, but unless you're authoring Tokio or Hyper or another huge, important crate in the ecosystem, it's really not worth it to do everything on this list.
Not apples-to-apples, but having living in places with above-ground and below-ground power supply, I know which one I've found more reliable.

Yes, maintenance gets more expensive, but that maintenance should be far less frequent. And hopefully more predictable (true maintenance vs emergency repair).
It is indeed a lot like synthetic stocks, but for private companies. This brings quite some complexities along in terms as how to value the companies even if just relative to each other. To help solve that we're partnering with startup data providers and are building scoring algorithms.

If you have enough money and access to deals, it is undoutably better to invest in real equity. However, through our game we aim to empower people that don't meet that description to learn, have fun and become micro-backers of companies they believe in.

Just an example of the wonderful world of CSV \(.)/ which I've used quite a lot, because it enables quick and easy (dirty) data dumps/ exchanges. But using it as a data exchange format between multiple parties often leads to problems, such as above.
It seems unlikely that your co-workers have low IQ, but it does go to show that doing well on algorithms and toy puzzles doesn't necessarily lead to an interesting job. It seems odd that you would be assigned to a team that didn't personally interview you - is this normal practice at FAANG companies?

Your co-workers may just be zoned out and collecting a paycheck - at some point the workload can become so impossible that you just don't care anymore. This is especially true if you don't care about a company's mission, product, or customers. Unfortunately the tech boom has led to high turnover at some places, and people just jumping to the next big salary instead of picking a good long term fit.

The tech industry is big enough that you can do what makes you happy - the big name places sometimes aren't a great fit. I've found a pretty good career working at mid-tier Fortune 500 companies. There a lot of good opportunities all across the US if you're willing to forgo SV salaries, know your stuff (and can learn new tech quickly), and focus on helping the business instead of the latest tech fad. (FYI, I make 175k in the mid-west with 40hr work weeks and a 10 min commute, 5 weeks PTO, great healthcare)
Ireland. Without private health insurance you would be waiting many years before you would get to see a consultant in the public system. To even get an appointment in a public hospital in a reasonable amount of time you need private health insurance.

Seems like a pretty good problem to have. Keep in mind all jobs are temporary arrangements. You're free to leave any time you like. I'd say just collect your checks and look for a job with better coworkers.
This is a pretty bad argument. You can apply that "you're the constraint" logic to tons of bad designs and products and claim they're not actually bad.

Linux is not necessary a bad system, but usability (degree of effort, burden of knowledge, misuse risk) are absolutely a core determination on where or not a piece of technology is "there yet"
CSVJ open standard addresses many common problems of CSV. It is basically a CSV where rows are encoded as a JSON.

> government allows them to hit your credit report with a debt

You appear to be operating under a misunderstanding: The government doesn't organize credit reports. Credit reports (in the US, at least) are compiled by independent companies, who operate with very little oversight or recourse (and occasionally leak lots of data themselves).

I'm not a fan of Dollar General. But there's something poetic about a smaller competitor eating away at WalMart's margins after WalMart destroyed so many small businesses.
Suppose my interviewing process is rather limited and I can only measure the y-intercept with pretty severe error bars... like to within +/- 30%. Also, my interviewing process is even MORE clueless at measuring the slope... it could be tilted +/- 30 degrees from where it is (note: that means the slope might well be negative) and also THAT measurement is especially subject to unconscious racial and similarity bias.

Then what do I do?

I might choose to focus more on the y-intercept because I at least have a vague idea of what that is by reviewing the resume plus a few hours of writing code on a whiteboard (which is a terrible assessment), whereas my ability to measure slope is almost meaningless.
They could just require a cash deposit and pause service when you run up a bill exceeding that amt, but to the best of my knowledge they don't offer this option or if they do they don't promote it.

It's just pre-paid or credit-based contracts AIUI.

My power company asked for my SSN when setting up the utilities, after plainly refusing to provide it they said a $250 deposit would be required, done!
Parquet (and a few other competitors) have open-source implementations in many languages, are much faster to load than csv, are natively compressed, are strongly typed and don't require parsing...

There are few reasons to continue using csv in this day and age.
It should be point out that Marc Andreessen of all people should deeply believe Sturgeon's law - after all, return on investment for venture firms are dominated by few 'hits' and lots of 'duds'.

Of course - I think if anyone act on the belief that 90% of their bets are duds, they would not be in the venture business. It's really interesting that a process could lead to a distribution - but knowing the outcome distribution is actually...useless?
Given the history of the FBI deciding that journalists and activists are actually terrorists to be suppressed? Probably quite a few.
I’m not sure above-ground pipes makes a lot of sense. Now every building has to maintain a pump to get sewage high enough off the ground that vehicles can pass under the pipes. And if those pumps fail (e.g. power outage), all of a sudden everyone is dealing with sewage backflow.

Something I’d like to see more of is utility tunnels where all utilities are undergrounded in a single tunnel with with easy access. Yes it’s expensive, but could work out in the long run. Just look at how much utility relocation can drive up the cost for simple projects like BRT.
I don't use ProTools, I use Bitwig Studio which is a full blown DAW with native linux support. There's also Ardour and Reaper, so linux has plenty of DAWs to choose from. Also as I have mentioned in another comment - all VSTs that I need work just fine with wine/yabridge.

I don't use Adobe's stuff either, but I know other people run Photoshop on wine, I just don't know what issues they're facing.
How does poaching relate to this? Obviously higher Y intercepts will get a lot more done initially, but they'll then be poached away. Same could be true of the slopey person, who may show more drive in their career and want to hop out once they've sloped up through your training.

Also, will that Y intercept person come at a huge premium? Can you afford that initial added burst of capital, or can you wait longer and hopefully see return on the sloper?

Anyway, you can't know someone's slope in the future at your job, as if that slope is even a constant value. It's much easier to know someone's Y intercept, you look at what they've done and what they can do now. That's the actual facts of hiring, vs a belief in potential slope, where uncertainty is more dominant.

Metacontext: the existence of this report is likely presented as a counter to the @FacebooksTop10 (https://twitter.com/FacebooksTop10) Twitter account which lists the top posts daily by total interactions.

Granted, this transparency report is also damning of the typical content on Facebook, but in a different way.

I don't work at Amazon and never have, so take my opinions with a grain of salt. I have worked at multiple other "FAANG"-caliber organizations, so add a few more grains.

Let's start with the obvious: "FAANG" was a term coined by financial types, not technical types, based on stock valuations rather than any particular technical merits. Exactly what companies are in it are controversial - Microsoft has the pedigree and the culture, they just didn't have the stock price (at that time). Netflix hires smart people but has never been in the same league as the rest in my personal opinion - they're too small and they have only one product.

Now, back to your question. If I had to guess, it's primarily about stigma. If I was working at Amazon, I would be fully aware of their reputation for abusive employee treatment, grinding fresh college graduates into a burnt out pulp faster than their RSUs can vest, poor work life balance, and so on. I'd be tired of answering the same questions about all of the above. I'd be aware that everyone already has their opinions about Amazon, that what I say isn't going to change much, and would probably deflect in the hope of getting interesting responses before everyone inevitably notices that my question lines up with all the feedback they've heard from their former-Amazon friends about the sad state of the internal tech stack, the working conditions, etc.
For those wondering what the artist changed, he added "North 5" to the sign, guiding drivers headed for I-5 to the left lanes.
> Does the article mention this? Sorry I have been looking for this information and did not see it.

Yep, here you go:
"No Metro by T-Mobile, former Sprint prepaid, or Boost customers had their names or PINs exposed," T-Mobile said. "We have also confirmed that there was some additional information from inactive prepaid accounts accessed through prepaid billing files. No customer financial information, credit card information, debit or other payment information or SSN was in this inactive file."
"Saying 70% of published research can't replicate sounds bad in a vacuum, but how does that compare to 50 years ago?"

It doesn't matter a whole lot with respect to 'how it compares to 50 years ago' if the assumption that science is supposed to be objective and credible.

It's supposed to be 'approaching 100%' i.e. they are publishing findings, not fake findings.

i.e. it's not a game of 'getting a higher percentage' it's a game of integrity.

The implications that 'most science is rubbish' is pretty scary actually and it has profound consequences for the future both in practical terms (i.e. we can't trust a lot of it), but especially in populist terms (i.e. people not trusting climate change, vaccine research etc.).

"If 90% of published psychology research turns out to be wrong, but 99% of folk psychology turns out to be wrong, then science is still winning there. "

Is it though? We spend bazillions on psychology and nothing on pop psychology, so we'd have to contemplate how valuable that '10%' is to society - especially in the context that we may not even know 'which 10%'.

This is kind of a big problem.

So these incidents seem to happen once every week or two. So is your position here that if there were a commercial passenger airline crash every week or two, people wouldn't and shouldn't reconsider flying?

I haven't flown either and I have no plans to do so in the near future until either a vaccine passport system is imposed or the pandemic ends. I can wait.
