I'll agree with this. Being in left field was bo-ring. It was being up at bat, and knowing that I was going to rack up an "out" for our team, which was agonizing.

Choosing Scala with the intent of only using the simpler parts isn't a path I've seen work out. Maybe with strong dev culture, documentation, and tooling that could work. My experience has been that you end up with more complex implementations than you wish you had to maintain. The other way to go is to hire for it--so everyone is competent and comfortable with that level, at which point it's typically not the subset. With that view I would only suggest Scala over say F# or OCaml if JVM compatibility was a requirement.
> The painters aim for straightness. They relish the crispness. They try to tune out impatient drivers who yell or honk or even sometimes throw things at them.

What is it about driving a car that turns people who are probably otherwise normal adults into literal babies. Who screams (honks) as loud as they can, without a care for who it might bother? Babies. Who throws things at people when they are upset? Babies.

I think the requirements to be licenced to drive should include a basic understanding of traffic dynamics. When a person gets in your way so you can't speed through the lights and you end up waiting at a red, they didn't lengthen your trip at all and are not worthy of any directed rage. You were just going to be stopped by the next light and get to your destination at around the same time. If there is roadwork or an accident, everyone is in the same boat and no single person can speed you up or slow you down.

We've all collectively just accepted to be subjected to an enormous amount of noise pollution and sometimes deadly violence on the road simply because people can't understand and/or accept the realities of how driving infrastructure works. It's kind of mind-blowing if you consider it.

I didn't suggest that anyone should stop wearing a mask indoors. I wear them indoors all the time, and mostly refuse to go indoors without one. But I also still work remote and I rarely am indoors (other than at home) for a few minutes at a time.

From the research I skimmed, it seems like a cloth mask is mostly not doing anything for you if you're indoors for an extended period of time. Do not extrapolate that I am arguing against mask-wearing, because I am absolutely not. I am arguing that we cannot go "back to normal", because you can't just put on a mask and be safe to a meaningful extent. I worry a lot about my friends who are schoolteachers, and in the next few weeks will be stuck indoors for several hours with 30+ children.

Edit: also, it really depends on the train car. Have you been on the Lexington Ave line in NYC during rush hour? You are literally jammed face-to-back at times, and the air conditioners sometimes do fail. There's basically no way to avoid exchanging aerosols and large droplets with other people.

Thanks for the additional context!
All of them, you pay some for the classes, If I remember I paid 300/semester for classes which is nothing really. usually your firm will pay your share.

But industry standard groups, unions, people who have a vested interest in having a supply of quality labor so they can do business. Some of the classes are sponsored (especially in smaller places where there's not enough support) and in return, they get to train you on a specific product or just hang a banner and give you a 10% tools coupon.

A real-time lookup is not timely. You generally want to have it pre-computed in a cache. If someone so much as spoofed your IP, it will poison your location. God forbid you leave a logged in browser session anywhere else. Computers are dumb, but you expect more and blame the adtech companies, I get it.
It's easier to set up remarketing than it is to manage the remarketing ads to put people who have purchased on a blacklist or to put a frequency cap on the ads.

When big tech says engineers are “in demand” they mean “we can make money off them.”

There could be 10 jobs worldwide, as long as companies can make money from those 10 people, they will say they are in demand. Rather than think demand equates to quantity of jobs, it’s better to think of it in terms of cost. The more engineers competing for the 10 jobs, the lower their cost to the company and the higher the demand. Lower salaries mean more money can be made by employing them. “In demand” means the exact opposite of what most people think. And by telling people the demand is high, it increases the supply further lowering costs for the companies and thereby increasing the demand. Engineers could organize and form guilds or unions, like lawyers and doctors have. But that would decrease the demand because it would increase costs. Tl;dr software engineers don’t grok labor economics. VC do.
I'm not, but just yesterday or the day before I was thinking maybe I'd write a simple application to take the URL and make decisions what to do with it afterwards based on whatever data I decide is relevant (time of day, domain, etc). If I had access to what the source application was that would be ideal, but I doubt Windows 10 supplies that.
The organisation structure of a car maker can be seen in a car dashboard. There is a light for the tyre pressure gauge because there is a business function for "tyres".

Changing that is hard. Tesla has a screen where software decides what lights to flash - and dollars to doughnuts it's because there was not dozens of decades old business departments fighting to keep control.

And the example you have above - a Product manager persuading functional teams is a separation of powers problem - think of the US government as a surprisingly long lived example

One would need a lot of top management support to keep that from falling into one of two more stable systems - either the functional team leader tells the PMs what they are going to ask for, or the PMs get hold of budgetary control

Either way the conflict is resolved.
Cops are the only ones being lawful on the dark web, AFP declares
I learned English playing Starcraft Shareware with a bunch of Canadians. I learned about money, economics, marketing, psychology and social skills via Runescape. I used games as an escape from my hell on earth childhood. And yet, I see this and think... maybe they're onto something. Today's games are engineered to rake in and manufacture addicts. People who don't know what dark design patterns are. Forgive my French here, but fuck the "Freedom" bullshit, this is about the one and only thing it's always been about, $$$. I say good for them.
It's just history and regulatory inertia. The rules were established when digital radio was nascent and available technology limited the modulation techniques that were feasible. Digital on some bands is regulated on bandwidth; the 70 cm band has a bandwidth limit of 100 kilohertz for "unspecified digital codes."
On the surface, from a US perspective, it seems like all publicly-funded surveillance should be accessible to...the public. I realize this is not the case, things don't usually work out [in government] the way they "should". There is a litany of canned responses to those types of requests, usually that involve the phrase "national security".

Consider though, the "hackers" mentioned in this story are wanting to see the footage that they bought with their tax dollars. If caught, they will be charged, convinced, and imprisoned...for wanting to see what they paid for. Sad state of affairs, but what can anyone do about it?
Cattle production in the U.S. is not comparable to other countries.
Go look at satellite imagery of the Israel-Egypt border. The Egyptians herd goats in the area, the Israelis do not.

You can clearly see the lighter shade of the Egyptian land, because the goats strip it clean. That is mountainous land that has no value for farming, but the goats can roam it and eat anything that happens to grow.
"Young" companies generally don't care about quality, testing, processes. They just want to build a product.

> I'd be missing all the optimizations that can be performed due to purity.

What I'm advocating here is not retrofitting Lisp but embedding DSLs within Lisp. In a DSL you have complete control over the semantics, and so you can do all the optimizations that Haskell does.

> coalton is the closest thing and it's still missing a large amount of the type system.

Note that this was written by one person. You have to distinguish between what has actually been done given the current state of the world and what would be possible if people made different choices. If a tenth of the effort that has gone into implementing Haskell had instead gone into implementing a Haskell-equivalent embedded in CL, that effort would plausibly be competitive with actual Haskell if not superior.

Agree and it could be easier to read in my opinion if you deal with the exceptions first.
For example.

let v = Number.parseInt("a3", 10);
try {
if (Number.isNaN(v)) {
throw new Error("NaN");
} else if (v > 3) {
throw new Error("gt 3");
}
v += 1;
} catch (error) {
v = 3;
}
v += 1;

Or writing a "guard function" that throws ...

function throwIfNaNorGt3(v) {
if (Number.isNaN(v)) {
throw new Error("NaN");
} else if (v > 3) {
throw new Error("gt 3");
}
}

let v = Number.parseInt("a3", 10);
try {
throwIfNaNorGt3(v);
v += 1;
} catch (error) {
v = 3;
}
v += 1;
GDScript is good enough for what it does, especially as an introductory language for people who have not done game development before.

Personally I found that the choice of programming language mattered much less than I thought they would, since I spent most of my time and effort on drawing rather than coding.
> I’d be happy if some organizations started accepting a credential in lue of a coding interview

Sure, but what credential exists that both is reliable enough to support that use and would remain reliable enough once it became used that way, even in a specific narrow subfield of development?
Which is interesting, paired with technology in cars that add additional braking force when they detect an emergency braking situation (quick lift off the throttle and immediate application of the brakes). Apparently studies have found that people don't brake hard enough before an accident.

Good thing we're encouraging people to be even MORE afraid of the controls in their vehicles, lest their insurance companies ding them for hurting the accelerometer's feelings.

I summarized my impression of the research as "they extend your expected time-to-infection by only a few minutes".

If your definition of "works" is "provides nontrivial protection over the course of an 8-hour workday indoors", then yes, I would argue that does constitute a conclusion of "doesn't work".

This isn't a "disinformation tactic" any more than your argument of "it's not 0% therefore it works."

Note that I am also not arguing against mask-wearing. I am arguing against the notion that we can go back to normal in the near future, because masks don't seem to do all that much, and there isn't much else we can do.

That, or we have to accept a nonzero (but not that large) probability of getting sick with a new disease other than the usual flu, colds, etc., and hope that for the most part the vaccine-breakthrough infections aren't serious or life-threatening.
Wow, that's super interesting reading! Thanks for the links! I will certainly be keeping this all in mind if I ever jump ship to proprietary software land ;)

The key validation algorithm in this software is extraordinarily simple, so I'm leaning away from there being anything fancy. I was unable to correlate keys used in later versions of the software with this algorithm, though, so you might be on to something. (I don't have a copy of a later version, but would love to check if I ever get my hands on one.)
Medical doctors have licenses which include exams and all sort of other barriers before they’re a ‘real’ independent doctor.
> I do empathize with you a lot having had a very similar experience in my youth. But ultimately finding people that were like me in real life was crucial.

Sometimes it's better to accept that those people don't exist where you live. Where I grew up - they really didn't exist. I'm fortunate now to live in SV where my interests and what not align more - but in rural America... I do not exist. (People like me leave that place)

I went to small schools (<100 people per grade, sometimes less than 60). If you didn't make your friends in that group - SOL. There weren't other schools to make friends at, social activities for kids, etc. You were stuck with what you had at school and that's about it.
Yev from Backblaze here chiming in -> the computer backup service is designed to be easy to use by the vast majority of folks, and in order to provide that service we have purpose-built restore servers that handle the recovery of data (hence why we handle the restores). We have had feature requests asking for folks to be able to decrypt their backed up data on their own computers, and we're vetting that, but not on the roadmap at the moment.

For those that want something more zero-knowledge, we have Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage which has a lot of integrations, and you can even DIY your own backup schemes, including encrypting everything on your end before sending it up to Backblaze B2 for storage.

One of my buddies gave me this useful insight once: the impression you give your candidates, even the ones you don't end up hiring, will likely be the last impression you'll get to make on that candidate and the tech world is very small. Negative experiences will impact how candidates perceive your company and word of that experience will spread. Always be respectful to the candidates. If nothing else, they took the time out of the day to meet with you and go through various obstacles, etc.

It's too bad your experience was so negative. That's going to be a datapoint in my mental dataset of companies to consider when the time comes.
The facial recognition is in order to make sure the user of the game corresponds to the ID they logged in with. It still only applies to online videogames.
I'm able to charge around that (sometimes higher) solo because I have 10+ years of demonstrable experience (public github repos and working online demos) and can also speak to intricacies of the current market in a few niches I'm personally passionnate about (electronics, radio, biomedical).

Word-of-mouth spreads fast after the first few good engagements, so I imagine most other people in this position don't need to advertise their rates since they're already booked back-to-back :)
So it's not just 3 hours per week, it's three specific hours a week, but also only for online games services. It's interesting that the law covers the service, not the client.

Now, I wonder what qualifies as an online game service. If I play correspondence chess over email, would the email host be running an online game service? If someone modifies the Battle of Wesnoth network code to run over IRC messages, would the IRC host be running an online game service? (What about decentralized network game protocols?)

Lots of legal grey areas to explore, like with Phil Zimmerman putting the PGP code in bookform. I'm sure you could find a way to game online without relying on an online game service.
I would agree with "the problem solving skills" section of your argument. But not the reading one. Getting good at reading is almost purely exercise. You do it more, you get better/faster at it, which has gains that show up in all kinds of fields be it tech, medicine, whatever.

Old school games had basically an entire novel embedded inside of them worth of text. 10 year old me wanting to read all of Final Fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger got an easy novels worth of reading in. Getting 10 years old to WANT to read is HARD. Anything that encourages that is good.

Modern games dont have that text, and even when they do they have voice acting to get around it. Games like Chrono Trigger and old school Final Fantasy are rare and dont get made as much anymore unfortunately. Its all gambling boxes.

Found more info:

If I understand alright, it's about somebody selling 13 656 illegitimate copies of Windows.

Microsoft went all the way to cour de cassation because they wanted to get full price for each copy and the court wanted to use bulk price to estimate damages. Microsoft won the case the 3 times, they were just not satisfied with the damages.

The ruling of the cour de cassation is really about denying microsoft the full price and explaining how to calculate damages.
I'm not assuming it, I have actual first hand experience, and a lot of data points from other people's efforts.

You are absolutely right that I'm squeezing a lot of content into the word "just". But I'm not doing it in a vacuum or out of ignorance.
> trying to solve a coding problem that in no way resembled anything I have ever encountered in my 25 year career.

that describes 2/3rds of the 'codility' tests I've been given in a few scenarios (toptal used it to weed me out). The couple of jobs I've been in where I was explicitly barred from ever asking any clarifying questions, or talking to business/SME folks about the problem at hand... I left those pretty quickly. I guess it serves to weed out people who have some hard-wired dependency on talking to people to clarify requirements.
No - Remarkable has a lot of control over how Google and Facebook target you. Maybe they could offer better tools, but those tools already let Remarkable remove you from audience lists after purchase, if they chose to do so.
As much as I’ve moved on from solo games (Atari 2600 & Commodore 64 & Nintendo scarified the seed, then it grew roots into Lemmings on my 386, Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Command & Conquer, Diablo 2, Morrowind, World of Warcraft [after 2005 it was mostly a solo experience] and Hearthstone, for examples), I can think of better activities in hindsight. Games were largely an escape for me, as were books, but at least with many books there’s more exposure to what it means to be human. Brainstem wrapped in the hydrostatic comfort of a videogame meant I could avoid observing my emotions and deciding what to do. I’m still learning to take responsibility for my own actions.

I’m not alone in this relationship with games, nor am I necessarily representative in my experiences. I’m sharing as a caution to others for whom videogames are all-consuming.

Healthier alternatives that scratch the itch for me are co-op games that aren’t great solo (I only play with close friends now, as a way to keep in touch and work together), tabletop RPGs like Mouse Guard, and physically exploring outside, as I’m thoroughly an Explorer on Bartle’s chart[0]. Also reading/listening to stories, playing music (another form of story that isn’t so far removed from our physical existence as videogames are), playing physical games/sports, drawing/painting (but not in Skyrim, etc :), and gardening, etc. I won’t bar my child from videogames, because they can backfire. Instead I’ll try to model healthy use of the pass-time as a brief mental gear-switch.

If someone is putting off other important things in their life to play video games then that's definitely a problem. However, if people want to set aside 100% of their free time to play video games, I don't think that's any worse than other things people do with their time that we (as a society) hold in high regard such as becoming a chess grandmaster, practicing violin 12 hours / day, watching football games nonstop, etc. None of these things are actually "productive," the sole purpose is to spend time having fun.
In theory that sounds nice, but somehow all the referenda I got to participate in asked the wrong questions. I also recall the Brexit referendum... I've heard the Swiss have organised it better, wonder how it works for them. The most promising alternative Ive heard are Citizen councils
