While I don't advocate for mass applying, I have always believed that most top candidates for a position will only hit approximately 5/8 desired experience/skills points. As Carmack says in the thread, the labor force simply has a perpetually non-optimal distribution of skills.

After seeing it from the hiring side for the past 7 years, I can also say that there's usually a few extra unlisted criteria that would more than substitute for the skills you don't match on. The content of job listings is largely true to the desires of the hiring manager but also incorporates some organizational inertia. It takes a while to get new technologies incorporated into the practices of recruiting offices. Many managers are usually informally hiring for skills that have not yet achieved enough of a foothold to be a screening criteria.
I think statistically it's not the case that wealthy people are more targeted, but I know wealthy people who'd rather live under the radar wrt their wealth.
In addition, the clause about the patent license is problematic because a patent license cannot be granted under Copyright law, but only under contract law, which drags the whole license into the domain of contract law.

I don't think they like patents in their licenses at all.
Given some of the shenanigans Carmack himself got up to back in the day (including B&E), I'm not sure he's saying it's the right thing to do, only an easy, commonly used and widely considered unobjectionable first-level filter.
Sounds nice, but my gripe is that type annotations do not provide type safety. For that, you need one of many type checkers, which aren't mutually compatible. How certain are you of your certainty?
That might explain the willingness of random people to shove my resume in the referral bin.
I would gander it is because the underlying reason is cardiovascular damage, not fat. But the two have a strong correlation. Even the tests for stenosis of arteries aren't very reliable or exact.

If we had good stats for vascular obstruction and looked at that instead, it'd probably be even more depressing than the obesity stats, knowing the diet most people eat..
Double or drop the occasional frame I guess? Audio is easier to stretch because it is stored as frequency components already.
Pretty smart on the company's behalf to be honest. Why allow job seekers to know your company's salary range and thereby enter a competitive labor bidding war with other companies hiring, when you can just not do so? There are 49 other states from which to fill applicants.

That being said, this will only equalize if job seekers from most or all states can get their state to pass similar laws. If that happens, then companies will have no choice but to list out their ranges.
You mean use someone else's web server instead?

I can't believe people are seriously entertaining the idea that a major auto manufacturer would need Tesla to make cars for them.

The trend I see, is that the more people know about what it takes to mass-manufacture an EV, the more they expect that legacy auto companies are going to turn to another manufacturer for the battery pack and the drivetrain.

At that point what is the manufacturer bringing?

The strength of the brand. It's hard to deny the brand strength of Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, Maserati, and Lamborghini. People will pay ridiculous markups to own brands like that. This opens up the margins such companies would need to survive.

Tesla's totally-not-marketing has brought them more cachet than anyone "boring" like Ford or Toyota

Does Tesla have the equivalent cachet of Lamborghini? It's debatable, I think.
I'm sure some back-office bookkeeping functions can be offshored, but others cannot.

For instance, in the U.S., certain tax filings and other types of official paperwork require businesses and individuals to give permission to authorities to contact CPAs directly.

In addition, tax laws are also very local, including state regulations (50 U.S. states + territories) and sometimes municipal and county regulations. This requires a level of expertise that few overseas-based bookkeepers would be able to work with.

Totalitarian regimes demand total participation (hence the “total” part). In Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany you either participated in the Komsomol, voted for the right candidate, studied marxism/whatever the nazi equivalent was, publicly expressed loyalist opinions etc, or you were considered a malicious actor.

Authoritarian regimes demand compliance. In modern Russia no one really cares what you think unless you’re some sort of an activist or a state employee. Meaning, regular people are generally left to be, can de-facto and de-jure think and say whatever they wish, and they only get messed with if they are in the way of power or in position of power.

Totalitarian regimes resemble cults, authoritarian regimes resemble corporations (and many corporations are, in fact, authoritarian).

A regime can be authoritarian, but not totalitarian (think Principate Rome) and in some case can be totalitarian, but not authoritarian (think a democracy ran by fanatical Puritans)

Sorry, realized I never replied.

First, yes, I made a typo and meant to say "foot binding".

The reason I mentioned this is because foot binding originally began as a cultural practice among a small group of people in the 10th century. By the time of the Qing dynasty (1644-1912), most social classes were practicing foot binding.

Thus, what I'm trying to say is that the Finns are adopting a cultural practice (pronouns in their twitter bio) as a result of being exposed to another group of people doing it.

The reasons for why they chose to adopt it, though....

USD-pegged stablecoins kind of have the worst of both worlds - the risks of crypto AND the risks of fed monetary policy. Stablecoins shouldn't be used as a store of value, only as a medium of exchange.
In theory the minimum and maximum are pretty detached from the actual salary negotiations - since you can bargain up the salary (at least within the range). However, it's like screening resumes by tech keywords - sure that C++ Systems Programmer with 20 years of experience as a senior dev might be able to pick up Java in like a week - but the algorithm didn't see Java anywhere in the resume so into the bin it goes.

This is basically just letting employees do a similar first pass of employers that employers are doing on us - if your salary range is bonkers and your senior dev has a low range of 30k then I'm not working there - I don't care if you offer me 150k, you clearly have something toxic going on with your culture so into the bin you go.
>One person argues that the Prison Experiment was a case of subjects behaving as their experimenters clearly wanted them to.

No.

Long ago I learned that it was rarely worth my time to try to argue online people out of their ignorance. A rando with a throwaway account, a strident tone, and a fair bit of ignorance on the topic is almost a guarantee that that's no point.

If you're interested in knowing something about the topic, you'll do some work. If you aren't, no amount of me spoon-feeding you summaries of serious scholarly works will change that.

If you do end up learning something and have questions, feel free to email me. I'm glad to discuss the topics with people who are serious about it.
Normally benchmarks for things like this are measured in how many concurrent requests can be handled, i.e the C10K problem, not by how many requests you are able to serve in a day. It's also well known that you can serve a large amount of requests on limited hardware.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C10k_problem

"By the early 2010s millions of connections on a single commodity 1U rackmount server became possible: over 2 million connections (WhatsApp, 24 cores, using Erlang on FreeBSD),[6][7] 10–12 million connections (MigratoryData, 12 cores, using Java on Linux).[5][8]"

Although I do understand the boxes listed above have more resources then the VPS you are using. I am also not criticizing your write up, or results, bench-marking is in general interesting to do. I just wanted to provide some additional information.
Are you sure that's related to the server itself? The page loads instantly for me and the DNS is still resolving to an OVH IP address.

Timing info from Firefox:
Blocked: 0ms
DNS resolution: 8ms
Connecting: 9ms
TLS setup: 12ms
Sending: 0ms
Waiting: 30ms

The very last resource (favicon.ico) loaded after 466ms and that's mostly because of the other files being requested only after the CSS has come in (after about 195ms). All in all the entire site (without the Matomo tracking JS) loaded in half a second.

Maybe the website has switched hosts in the last ten minutes, I guess, but I doubt it. I think this is more likely to be a problem related to distance to origin and saturation of the underlying connection.
> Like, wasn't this what the legacy auto manufacturers learned in the 90s as competition ramped up from Asia, that it really wasn't worth the diversion of having half a dozen barely-differentiated cars on the same "platform" being badged and marketed in different ways (think Taurus/Sable/Continental, etc).

Volkswagen is a top 3 auto manufacturer and was top 1 recently. Volkswagen, Skoda, Seat, Audi go exactly against what you're saying.

What's the point of this post? OP is serving a file at 50req/sec. There is not even mention of a dB query. How is that able to relate to any kind of normal app?

I guess that the post was written as an answer to the mangadex post [1]. Mangadex was handling 3k req/sec involving dB queries. It was not just a cached Html page.

50req/sec for a Html file is super low which shows that a $4 month server cant do much actually. So yes this is enough for a blog, but a lot of websites are not blogs

> The internet sucks for nuance, but "friend" in this context doesn't read as modulation to me, it reads as sarcasm (and thus intensifies the snark).

It does suck for nuance. The safest and most useful thing to do here (as a place that tries to keep things civil) is to assume it's not snark and treat it as sincere. If it was sincere, treating it as if it's not is causing more of a problem, and if it's not, treating it as if it is leads to useful responses.

> I don't think that's the case. There are a couple of other comments that read the GGP as unnecessarily snarky.

I think perhaps you misread me? I chose you as a representative comment to reply to because there were a few along similar lines. If it was just one, I probably wouldn't have bothered.

> The only thing I did that was unique was note that he didn't have to search through "25 books" to get the answer, because his own source gave it directly.

I'll just say that if that information was known to the original replier, it should have been included, and if it wasn't, perhaps the reply should have been reworded?

That you actually provided useful info is another reason I bothered to reply to yours. As one that actually provided value to the discussion, I hoped to steer any additional eyeballs responses might draw to a useful comment, rather than a useless one.

I don't want to clutter this discussion too much with meta forum etiquette stuff, which I'm already prone to do at times, so I'll try to refrain from any additional responses on this.
> why it’s valuable.

It's valuable in the same way that well structured code and good documentation is. In other words, it helps in terms of code base maintainability.

For example, I can run git blame on a line of code and see the reason it's there in the associated commit message. I can run git show on the sha value of the commit and see that line in the context of the change it's part of. That can help me in terms of not inadvertently introducing a regression by updating a particular line of code.

Of course, all that is highly dependent on well structured commits that only do one thing and have any informative commit message associated with them.

> You’re asking someone to do a lot of work by cleaning up their feature branch.

Not anymore than asking them to add proper documentation or additional test cases. It's not just about the change itself. It's how the change is presented in terms of documentation, organization, and in chunks that allow one to isolate a bug to a small part of the overall change.

> Personally, I prefer doing a single git revert <commit> and knowing that master is in a valid state.

Then you get a lot of churn that has to be filtered through to determine why a particular change was reverted. If you could add tests to verify the presence of a bug, and then just revert the part of the change responsible for the bug and update the assertions on the tests, then you can easily follow the sequence of events by looking at the history.

I pity the poor fellow who must advertise that.
Sure, and I appreciate your interest for context. I’ve recently relocated for work to a beautiful city in the mountains and I am regularly in areas where I see grand vistas. This is very different from where I grew up which is incredibly flat. So in the face of these vistas, which include huge valleys and drop offs (unavoidable, as these views are often from the main highways!), I often have feelings of lightheadedness and falling. I believe this is vertigo. I don’t want to avoid these views - I want to conquer the feelings to I can enjoy them the same way my family does! Appreciate all the comments to this post.
I'm not sure what you mean corruption, journald logs should actually fare better in terms of dealing with corruption and tampering versus text logs, if you use the log sealing feature. You could also already easily plug any of the syslog implementations in.
It makes sense from the perspective of Apple consistently being a "personal device" company. A car is another personal device. The more cars become imbibed with computing the closer they get to Apple's core interest.

Just wondering if the exec move is signalling Apple isn't planning on bringing the car to production ?

I'm in the automotive field and I came across some of their job postings, and based on the JD it looked to me like they were pretty serious about bringing something to market.

Me and a bunch of my friends and colleagues were contacted by recruiters and it seemed like they wanted people with experience bringing a car to production.
This is an example of the bigotry of low expectations.
Edgar Allan Poe Needs a Friend
LinkedIn is full of completely farcical stories about recruiters who had the prescience to hire someone even though they were 30 seconds late for an interview or didn't wear a tie or hadn't graduated from an Ivy League school or some other such nonsense. And because of this HR drone's largesse, this person later did their job satisfactorily.

I honestly can't tell if the GP meant it in a snide way (like my example above) or as an honest compliment. It could be either, really.

How Does Git-Push Work
I was really surprised by this cache design, in a good way. It's a very interesting innovation, one of those that is simple once you hear it but nobody (as far as I know?) has tried this approach yet. I think it's very clever for a large distributed system like the Z mainframes;

It would be fun to build some Network on Chip FPGA designs using this approach to model how it would perform!

The notion that American tech companies are somehow entirely separate from and unrelated to American history is quite a belief to hold. It's not one that stands up to any understanding of the topic, alas. But since that's a hill you've chosen to die on, I'll leave you to it.
It’s very unlikely that the deal says “we will buy everything you sell us no matter what.” It’s probably a typical purchasing agreement with tolerances and QA, just paid in advance.

Thus there is still a lot of risk being taken on by the fabs. The production could go sour, geopolitics could change, resources might be unavailable, etc.

The purchasing companies are externalizing all of this risk by purchasing the products instead of the company.

The value of the car market is enormous. If you look at the top 10 industries, cars are the best market for Apple to branch out into. I can’t see them in financial services, construction, or oil/energy.

If you look at previous behemoth companies, like GE, they tried to hit all these industries and overextended. There was GE energy, GE Capital, GE digital, GE Healthcare, GE Transportation systems, GE Aviation, and some part of that made light bulbs. With Apple, they can’t just keep producing phones and grow so the challenge is to break into new neighboring sectors. Their goal with the car was not so much to manufacture it as it was to provide industrial design, branding, and software support as an initial foray. They were turned back by Kia/Hyundai as not bringing enough to the table.
I love the spatial organization. I, not even five or six hours ago, had made a note on my iPhone describing something just like it (except where you would get to the spatial organization view by dragging down the bar at the top of the window). My thought was that we (humans) can remember spaces quite well, and certainly much better than we can track a tab's location in an ever-expanding list. IMO, spatial organization should replace bookmarks (and tabs should be treated as bookmarks unless the user has interacted with them since the browser was opened. Maybe I use tabs in a weird way).

Will definitely have to give this a try when it makes its way to other operating systems.

I have problems trusting alternatives like Tutanota and Mailbox. Both of which are in Germany, which has been policing speech for the past 100 years. If a Swiss company will comply with law enforcement, then a German company absolutely will.

There’s also riseup, which I avoid because instead of being at the behest of a Governments politics, you have to deal with theirs instead. I don’t want to be involved or associated with politics outside of my local voting booths (although inevitably unavoidable when you’re talking about free speech and privacy)

I think the solution is to host your own or find another protocol. At the end of the day only you have your best interests in mind.
