That had to require a huge amount of endurance, perseverance, etc. I'd like to see a story on how he kept motivated and focused on this project.
It's the combination of it being an exec priority + the industry consensus at the time being "It's impossible". If you deliver a high-priority project that any engineer can glance at and have an immediate idea how to solve, that's L4 work. (Say, you're shuffling data from protobuf to a bunch of Javascript on screen.) If you deliver a high-priority project that most engineers are declining to work on or saying "It can't be done", that's L6 work. If you deliver a high-priority project and then publish it externally and then the rest of the industry actually says "Woah, this is revolutionary and really valuable to us" and then Doug Cutting clones it over at Yahoo and releases it as open-source and spawns a whole sub-industry, that's L9 work.

This is all for IC engineering. I actually prefer to think of the ladder in organizational terms which also encompass management, but the sub-thread here is specifically interested in what it takes to be an L6+ IC.

The question isn't whether the events in each of these examples you highlighted 'stem directly from lawn maintenance laws' - they all unquestionably do. But none of them seem to be cases where the act of keeping an unkempt lawn itself was a criminal act, which seemed to be what your original claim was.
It is hard not to interpret the recommendation at the end of this article – which is to wrap your GraphQL API in a locked down JSON-RPC API - as an argument for not using GraphQL at all.

What a marvelous project! The amount of efforts that the author put into this project makes my jaw drop.

This project reminds me of a question I've had in my mind, though. If this world is a simulation, would that be an accurate simulation of the elementary particles and their interactions (like this project), or an appropriated one (like normal Game Boy emulators)?

You are looking at this differently than the parent post. You are looking at cross-industry inside Japan. Parent is talking about inside Japan vs outside Japan within the same industry/job.

If you look at public data on somewhere like levels.fyi, there's a big gap in pay even within the same company, at the same level. I'm most familiar with Seattle comp, and same tier of SDE role is a 30+% paycut from Seattle to Tokyo at FAANG companies.

I also know someone who left a FAANG company here to go work in Japan for awhile. They had to move from SDE to Data Scientist + got a senior role at the new company, and even then they struggled to get anywhere close to their previous comp.

It can be a problem if you care about schema compatibility for your events - and I would care about it in a multi-team microservices setup. Your database schema essentially becomes a contract, your service is not a "black box" anymore. You have locked yourself from the ability to change the schema freely.

Also, the messages produced reflect database changes, not domain events. I would prefer to have an explicitly defined interface layer for consumption. At least, use database views as contracts with Kafka Connect.
Fwiw, I'm not sure if it's recent or not but git CLI has pretty good suggestion of what commands to run next. git status gives a decent amount of info. It also suggests the newer commands like switch or restore.

That doesn't appear to be what users or mods want. Lots of people want more active development and moderation. Just this week there were large scale protest across the platform regarding Reddit admins not doing enough to stop the spread of dangerous COVID misinformation. Then Reddit released a rather bad statement refusing to give into user demands. They almost immediately went back on that statement and banned a big misinformation subreddit. It almost feels like they make decisions in a way to ensure they piss everyone off.

Any customer has been and is able to get a refund if they want. From reports of those have done so, money is returned within a week.

I can't imagine why anyone would expect Tesla to preemptively force refunds to all. I'm sure the first 10 or so pre-orders would be pissed to lose their serial number spot for no reason.

At one of my jobs, we ran into this soon after launch. Attackers would loop through giant lists of leaked username / passwords using a different ips for every attempt. Blocking passwords at signup that existed in haveibeenpwned's database worked fairly well (and then later adding a required second factor).

They come with extension cables. You can always plug it in under the dash and leave the exposed one disconnected.

If they are sophisticated and have time to take the whole car apart then you are SOL anyway as they will find any transmitters with an SDR.

FurrTek deserves as much credit as I do for doing the initial exceptionally painstaking step of marking out the die traces and cells on the die shot. Not all of his guesses were correct, but they were enough to get things started.

In the US, airline tickets must be advertised with the total price (including taxes, fees, and surcharges) as the most prominent amount. The seller is also allowed to include the price breakdown at their discretion, and almost all travel sites do.

https://www.transportation.gov/individuals/aviation-consumer...

The breakdown is important because it lets consumers consider the impact of tax legislation passed by the government officials they vote for. If you don't care about the breakdown, you don't have to read it.

This kind of price transparency would be a consumer-friendly improvement to the app store checkout process. Not only because it lets users see where their money goes, but also because it lets users discern that they could be getting the same product or service elsewhere at a lower price (or be able to support the developer with a greater portion of their purchase amount). Forbidding this disclosure is consumer-hostile because it prevents users from understanding this.
That’s one way to look at it, but the market was already headed this direction long before the Cybertruck was announced.

Rivian, for example, purchased their factory in like 2017 and it’s very likely that the F150 Lightning was in the works in earnest before that Cybertruck was sketched on a napkin since Ford was talking about and teasing working prototypes of the electric F150 before the Cybertruck was announced.

What Musk is great at, above his other talents, is being a great marketer IMO.
The reasons for this are:

1) the FAA has turned off most of their legacy radionavigation transmitters to save money

2) there's been a lot more aviation news about GPS signal problems starting in 2020.

So the FAA needs a band-aid, and fast.

It was boring.

We built a server backend using Chicken in six months, it held up under significant load, and as normal the database connection was where we had to put most of the engineering effort.

We used a few macros to remove overhead in a few places where you'd use generic functions, and that saved us a little performance.

All in all - I'd happily use it in production again. I like it when the tech stack is boring and does what is expected of it.

Greek Composer and Politician Mikis Theodorakis Has Died at the Age of 96
I think that's a misuse of the term Leftist - I remember the most outspoken voices calling for banning The_Donald coming from centrist liberals. These types are die-hard liberal supporters who "vote blue no matter who" and celebrate partisanship like a team sports event. Leftists viewed the rise of Trump as more of a denouncement of HRC's neoliberal politics and lack of integrity rather than based on the rise of a bigoted irredeemable white working class. Liberals want to silence Trump supporters and shame them into submission, while leftists mostly want to convert them via class consciousness to fight for lower- and middle-class empowerment.

Leftism is about socialism, worker empowerment, anti-corporate power. Subreddits around Bernie, socialism, stupidpol, etc. They didn't like Trump, but were mostly critical of the lack of focus and results from democrats. We (I count myself in this group) thought Trump was a dangerous idiot, but ineffective democrats who paid lip service to noble goals while stifling progress were the main topic of discussion.

Liberals, who were most vocally pushing for deplatforming trump supporters, were more the types who lurk (and mod) /r/politics and /r/liberal. They viewed everything Trump did as evil, while absolving democrats who had done the same things for the 4 years previous.

Hardcore ride-or-die liberals != leftists - these are two groups with distinct ideologies. In particular to this context, leftists are much more apprehensive about censorship because they don't have deep institutional power.

apologies. I meant travelers from other states, but my point still stands - it's a temporary measure that impacts only a small set of people who travel from another state, who would ordinarily be in dedicated quarantine facility

Instead they are being allow to quarantine from the comfort of their home, and if they choose to do so they have to use an app to prove they are staying at home, but again this is only for the short duration of their quarantine period.

You are scare mongering and trying to make this something that it isn't - it isn't being forced on large numbers of people, let alone the entire state. It's not intended to be used by people not in quarantine, and for those are in quarantine, they only need it _whislst they are still in quarantine_

In the Portland metro area for the most part we just let our lawns go brown in the dry summer. It generally doesn't rain much from mid-June through mid-September and now the lawns look tawny like lion fur - I kind of like it, actually.

My sister & BiL visted from out of state last week and they were like "why does everyone let their lawns die here?" and I actually hadn't even thought about it much before - the fish doesn't see the water, I guess. I think it's because it's going to cost a lot if you want to keep your lawn green through the summer - mostly sewer costs as they're based on water usage. That and we don't have to worry about mowing in July, August and September which is nice. And we know it won't take much for the lawns to green back up when the rains start in October.

In theory, yes. In practice, if you'll try to avoid any interaction with sites affiliated with Google, Facebook or feeding surveillance data to them, you'll quickly discover that the internet became very small and much less usable than before. You don't need to use Facebook or search on Google to be tracked by them. Google owns one of the largest ad networks in existence, so if you visit any site that has ads or analytics trackers, the data about it will go to Google. Any site featuring Facebook social button may feed the data to Facebook. If you write to somebody with @gmail address Google knows about it. And so on, and so forth. For a highly technically skilled person, it might be possible to avoid interactions with Big Tech while being able to still using modern technology, but it won't be easy. For a normal person without deep technical background it's pretty much hopeless unless they avoid using the internet entirely. Of course, using the internet is "voluntary", but this is a very weak consolation.

And, also, both Google and Facebook eagerly cooperate with state actors in censorship and other aspects - likely surveillance too. So there's not much difference in that aspect whether you work for the government directly or for somebody who takes marching orders from the government while being formally independent.

Intuitive Intelligence, Self-Regulation, and Lifting Consciousness
We spent 40 years chasing down and eliminating every redundancy, buffer, backup, and alternative in the name of "efficiency" all the while globalising every system we could. Even the slightest hiccup is liable to bring such a fragile system down, and this was not a slight hiccup. And as supplies dwindle throughout the system, demand increases at every interface point, not just the end-users. This machine is not going to come back up as it is. It just can't. We need to start putting those backups and redundancies back in place, which will cost throughput, latency, and (fuckloads of) capital.
I've been working on a side project using Unity. With HDRP you can make things look very nice, at this point I'm only limited by my own time.

You can buy Gaia, use HDRP and have a beautiful forest in about 3 minutes.

Unity is cheaper if you plan to actually make money. Unity charges by seats, Unreal takes royalties.
I’m sorry that happened but that sounds like a problem with PG&E rather than a banking problem, surely they can accept other forms of payment —- For example, I just pay my utility bills on auto pay from a credit card each month.

For renting I directly had monthly deposits drawn from my bank account after providing a routing/account number to the landlord. I lived in four different apartments and all of them just directly withdrew from my bank account automatically each month. Even for an initial deposit it was directly transferred from the bank or put of a credit card.

Lots of valid points in that article regarding the cumulative envronmental impact, but I'm baffled by some things....

I've never seen the fringe lawn fanaticism from the article in
person, my experience growing up was much closer to Levitt's
feelings or the middle class nostalgia: the lawn is something
children mow on the weekend [...] But online culture would have
me believe there's a sizeable portion of the nation fixated
on lawncare as a hobby.

Yeah, absolutely. I don't understand it. Movies and TV portray it that way as well -- they have you believe that all subarbanites are positively obsessed with their lawns.

I've lived in middle class American suburbs nearly all my life, child and adult.

Nobody obsesses over their lawns. Just never seen it.

I mean, sure, if you have a lawn... you spend a certain amount of time and/or money on your lawn and while you're at it, you like to do it right. Just like literally anything else. Laundry, vacuuming, whatever. Everybody likes their home and their person to look nice if they're lucky enough to be that far up the ladder on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The lawn thing may be somewhat unique to America but wanting one's home to look nice most definitely is not.

To put it in somewhat objective terms I live on a 1/4 acre lot and I spend less than 30 minutes a week mowing and edging, for approximately 7 months per year.

Lawn fertilizer is about, I don't know, $30 a year. If you buy a decent lawn mower and edger that $200-$300 and they should last 10-15 years. So I guess you can amortize that out to an additional ~$20 per year. Oh, and $10 worth of gasoline for the mower. (I was gifted an ICE mower; would have chosen electric myself)
I agree that #4 counts. If they finish you get a bill. I would probably shoot at them too, but if you avoid killing anyone it's not likely to turn out good for you. Typically you get more sympathy if you end up killing someone.

Before someone notes this is extremely bloodthirsty, it's not just about a lawn being cut, it's about the state arbitrarily demanding your money.

Right. My sense is it’s a dismissive and/or low effort response, especially to any sort of substantive message. But I’m also an anxious person so I’m likely reading into it too much.

I used Chicken successfully in an embedded Linux system where C interop was a high priority. It's a great compiler and one of my go-to Schemes to this day, though obviously the library ecosystem is nowhere near as complete as e.g. Python's.
It very quickly goes into criminality. A lot of non-criminal punishments are things like fines, or withdrawing your drivers license, and after that you run into things that do actually make you a criminal, like repeatedly driving without a license or repeatedly failing to pay a court ordered bill.
Quoting the article from yesterday:

> An F.A.A. spokesperson confirmed that Virgin Galactic “deviated from its Air Traffic Control clearance” and that an “investigation is ongoing.”

So I don't know where that whole narrative of the article causing the action is coming from. The investigation was already ongoing and it seems highly unlikely that bureaucrats rush something within 24 hours just because of an article in the newyorker.
A close second. The secret here is to just not engage with any video content.
I'm honestly curious when that convention would have seeped into my brain; in checking, I only use periods for multi-sentence texts. And I've practically forgotten what it felt like to be in my 20s. Even my mother's text messages don't end in periods if they're a single sentence. Bizarre how the conventions of a particular communication medium just seep into your brain.
"Ok" is ever more informal than "Ok." The decision whether or not to add the period is of course not always a matter of trying to sound more assertive, but in a three character message that potential cue will necessarily be "scaled up".

UK Govt Minister orders review into effects of nitrous oxide
Well, WW II went on for 6 years and society seemed to recover from that. One could argue that the “wars of the 20th century” lasted in hot or cold form for 75 years and things seem functional. I think people have lost perspective along with willingness to help others. Most people have drivers licenses and health cards and face all sorts of restrictions which were deemed reasonable in 2019. And cell phone users constantly broadcast their location, interests and often their intentions without concern. Why masks?
