I think one difference between liberal minded and conservative-minded people is their version of the future.

Liberals idealistically look to the future and say what if!

Whereas, conservatives pessimistically look to the future and say what if!

Human nature seems to corrupt any system that exists so I don't know if a system exists that can both accommodate human nature and also spread equality better than capitalism.

I think the key may be to control it somehow.

I don't. This isn't about just video games. It's about the CCP controlling everything down to the most minute aspect of everyone's life in China. At some point the people will revolt and it won't be pretty with a nation of 1.4 billion in civil war. I don't see how anyone in the west could think this is a good thing. I can understand this from parents, not from a government.
This happened to me many years ago when I was a teen and working on personal projects, but even worse. I forgot exactly what it was (something in C#), but it was something as fundamental as classes, I wondered if I'd ever need them, looked it up, turned out I was already using them.

On interviews, I have the same fear as you. I know very little on the theory side of things (and don't have much of an interest to either), but I can get the job done. Maybe I should read up on the theory a bit more, or maybe I will another day ;)

> The first week of February went by. I sent, probably, several hundred applications. My rough estimate is 400. And... nothing.

Getting a job is a function of: Quantity_of_applications * Quality_of_applications.

I have been somewhat successful in securing positions in the past 10 years or so of my career, including a relocation. And when some friends/associates ask me how I did it, and I offer to mentor them, they are not willing to put the time that it takes to research positions, and apply with tweaked "marketing material"; so eventually they give up, some not even try.

Looking for a job is a full time job, and if you're doing while employed, it means you're working 2 jobs.
Due process doesn't fit in 2 weeks, and I don't believe the issue with monopoly law not being enforced is related to the speed of justice.
Great to see this space moving! Any pointers on diff vs Kythe? Kythe has a mostly fixed schema, for one.

One of the pain points using Kythe is wiring up the indexer to the build system. Would Glean indexers be easier to wire up for the common cases?

Other is the index post-processing, which is not very scalable in the open source version (due to go-beam having rough Flunk support, for example).

Third, how does it link up references across compilation units? Is it heuristic, or relies on unique keys from indexers matching? Or across languages?
There are plenty of alternative app stores for Android. Google restricts them, but not severely. Android 12 will lift some important restrictions from alternative app stores.

I'm not trying to portrait Google as innocent, there's still work to be done. But they are absolutely in different leagues with Apple when it comes to user freedom.

Yeah. This is not really social housing.

It does makes me wonder how low the price of social housing can go while still being sustainable either to be subsidized by the government or payable by tenants.

Land use policies, that is transportation and housing makes up about 30% of the cost in the average American budget, which suggests living in America is pretty expensive.[1]

> The $99/year is predominantly for access to the App Store. It's up to Apple what constitutes a license fee for developers to have commercial use of Apple's proprietary software libraries.

Interestingly, the $99/year fee is to access the app store, but there's a a $299/year fee to bypass the appstore.

I am more or less with her on this, and not just because I like her writing (and her audio book narration of her treatment of “Lao-Tzu: Tao Te Ching” is beyond wonderful).

Where I differ a bit is that zero growth is not the solution, but rather slow and sustainable growth. What we have now is awful. In the US, you have close to zero percent loans from the Fed to outfits like Blackwater who can buy residential property and rent it for a few percent pure profit. Young people I know who want to buy a home don’t get close to zero percent loans from the Fed.

With both political parties fully supporting the elites it seems like all is lost, but I don’t think this is so: massive peaceful demonstrations are the only way to make progress. When peaceful Occupie Wall Street protestors were brutalized at scale, I think the whole world noticed, and this kind of peaceful mass protest is probably what the world elites fear the most.

EDIT: I just noticed that she was not calling for zero growth, rather for equitable sharing.
A Recipe for Learning Audio Programming
Beyond the specific arguments for why commercial use is important (which the likes of the FSF do make), I think it's also important to draw a line in the sand and say what is and isn't permissible, or our freedoms will be nibbled away one bite at a time. The free software definition might not be perfect, but it's a coordination point that the community can stand behind and say: this far, but no further.
Yea Amazon cares about how you work when doing the interviews and not just your technical ability. A lack of clear evidence demonstrating those inter-personal skills will be no hire. It’s really unlikely a single story will provide enough evidence demonstrating those skills so it’s really an unnecessary way to handicap yourself.

I wouldn't actually class this as a brain-teaser. It is a non-trivial[1] problem that doesn't require an "aha!" moment to get right. It is amenable to multiple ways of reaching a correct solution. It has interesting follow-up questions. It also stands a minimal chance to actually discover (some) of the way a candidate thinks. It is also implementing the VM for a Turing-complete computational model.

It may also be that anything work-related is actually too long to fit into a limited interview time.

Now, a trivial, brain-teaser, question would be "you have an NxM matrix, and you can either go left or up. How many paths are there from the lower left, to the upper-right corner?"

I consider it a brain-teaser because if you write code that contains any matrix manipulation or searching, you have basically failed. There is a closed-form expression for the number, so...

[1] By "non-trivial", I basically mean that there are multiple correct solutions.

Not to take away from that achievement, but he wasn't the first one to implement this idea.

Slow justice and slow regulation are a feature, not a bug. Premature either is more dangerous than delayed action.

In hindsight, the correct time for regulation was probably 2008 for Google (DoubleClick purchase and Android shipping with "Android Market") and Apple (App Store).

It should have been a clear line from hardware control -> distribution control. And if regulators hadn't seen it, then Congress should have drawn it for them in updated laws.

Unfortunately, the world had a bit more going on that year.

I wonder if anyone's ever tracked the eventual career trajectory for candidates they hired versus ones they rejected in interviews. This process sounds like it selects for people comfortable with the somewhat rare skillset of sweating hours of face-to-face quizzing without breaking.

I need my engineers to have strong communication skills, so this is intentional and desired.

...which have minimal bearing on an engineer's ability to do their job

In positions I've held, communicating and remembering are pretty desirable qualities. For engineers and others. I need my engineers to be able to do those things. You obviously don't. That's fine. We'll hire different engineers. Everybody wins.
Tautoligical post.

GPLv3 is just as non-free - you may use it commercially but you're almost guaranteed to fail to make money.

I think both are important.

Personally I hate analytics because it makes my equipment work against me, or at least for someone else. Consider that there are websites and apps that are so overloaded with js and ads, that they will run sluggishly on anything but the latest phones and laptops. I would rather not allow that.

I have no problem with static ads. I love watching creative ads on TV during a sports broadcast. Instagram ads are another example of advertising done well. Minimal distraction from the content, no slowdowns, easily dismissible.

As for censorship, I agree that is a more important issue. But we can focus on more than one issue at a time. I will take a win on either front.
Personally, I hope they do not develop this.

I mostly here care about the outcomes. On the one hand we have a huge wealth of libraries that can be easily installed, easily debugged (as you have access to the source), one can understand the inner working and be inspired, one can easily fix the bugs that bother him, and so on. These are clear benefits of the open source ecosystem.

On the other hand we have burnt out understaffed teams of maintainers supporting huge swaths of our digital infrastructure who do it essentially for free and who find it somewhat unfair that companies raking in the billions can't spare a $10/mo donation.

So we want to have our cake and eat it too. And realistically the main lever of power individual developers have (and traditionally had) are licenses and copyright law. So that's where the most likely fix to the situation is likely to be.

Without acknowledging a providing realistic solutions to the above problem this principled purism of some OSS advocates seems counterproductive to me.

I think the actual observation of the article is that many booleans are guards for the presence (or validity) of a value, and that modelling those as Optionals binds the result of the guard and the applicable value in a way which can prevent later mistakes.

It's not arguing at all booleans should be treated this way.
I saw nothing saying you can't still use them.
The big problem with "Non-Commercial" licenses is that they don't come with a strict definition of what's "Commercial". A non-profit charging to cover some costs (event at a loss) might be considered commercial... but what if a corporation uses or distributes the NC content completely for free? It should be considered commercial, because they're getting value out of it.

... And then you realize that most of the time everybody gets value, in some way, out of their work. So even if there are clear whites and blacks the gray area is insurmountable.
Im sorry to say, but thats not true.
Its even missing some EU member states.
One of the things I don't like about Option[T] in Nim is when you are handed an optional large structure as a function argument, such as "Option[seq[Thing]]" or "Option[BigObject]", or those types as fields of an object passed as argument.

It works fine, but the act of unwrapping the value inside with x.get copies the large data structure inside to return it. So it's incredibly slow to access the value inside. Even one such access can be unacceptably slow.

Receiving the optional itself as a function argument is fast, because Nim passes a pointer for those arguments. The problem is when you need to use the value wrapped inside.

Nim encourages "value oriented programming", where things are written as value types, on the assumption that most of the time Nim is able to use temporary read-only aliases to data instead of copies. So this is the style of passing optionals around that I see in typical code.

If you have been handed a mutable option ("var Option[..]") that's different. Then you can unwrap the value inside as a mutable as well, which avoids the copy.

But you don't tend to be handed a mutable option in a function argument, except from code that was written in an unusual style with performance in mind, and a contract outside the type system: "I'm giving you a var, but only for performance reasons; don't write to it!".

But even with this definition:

>Copyright law today grants software developers that power, so they and only they choose the rules to impose on everyone else—a relatively small number of people make the basic software decisions for all users, typically by denying their freedom. When users lack the freedoms that define free software, they can't tell what the software is doing, can't check for back doors, can't monitor possible viruses and worms, can't find out what personal information is being reported (or stop the reports, even if they do find out). If it breaks, they can't fix it; they have to wait for the developer to exercise its power to do so. If it simply isn't quite what they need, they are stuck with it. They can't help each other improve it.

A non-commercial license still covers all of these "freedoms." The only caveat is that you can't sell it or derivatives thereof.
> I have literally had to read compiler source code to find out Rust behavior before, more than once. That should never happen.

What about DSP Concept's Audio Weaver?
For now, Netflix and Spotify have no ads. I have a feeling that if these companies feel the pinch during a bad quarter or two, they will 100% start introducing ads. That's how business works, they want to maximize revenue. TV publishers have traditionally charged a fee on top of the ads. That demonstrates that audiences are fine with it. 100% Netflix and Spotify will eventually have ads.

> Is rationing ... bad?

Yes. When a good or service is always available to anyone who can pay the price, all one needs to do is find the money and one can get it.

When prices are set artificially low, both current and long term go down which results in perpetual shortages. Since getting the thing now depends not just on being able to come up with the cash, but relies on the pen of a bureaucrat, corruption seeps in and becomes endemic.

This charity is able to get it done by requiring adherence to a specific religion which serves both as a selection and an enforcement mechanism.

If one is tempted to think of generalizing this, I would recommend reading about both Western socialists waxing poetic about USSR's "solutions" to housing shortages and the reality of housing in the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, city & urban planning programs as well as architecture schools tend to produce a lot of credentialed people who parrot the former.
