I 100% agree with you.

Just a generalist qualified senior engineer alone is something that is in shortage. If you dive into senior specializations, the shortage is even stronger.

My point was that the media and people tend to forget about the whole senior/entry distinction when it comes to shortages, and loudly proclaim "there is a shortage in tech" without specifying at which level, and then get a ton of entry level fresh grads yelling at them "no, there is no shortage, we struggle to get jobs".

>Should such phantom reqs even be counted towards stats of companies trying to hire?

If they are genuinely trying to hire someone for that position, but just have been unsuccessful to find a qualified candidate, then yeah, absolutely it should count. And I don't doubt they are trying to actually hire. Because why else would they spend tons of engineering time and money on interviewing people with zero intent to actually hire anyone.

Even where I work, we get tons of applications due to the company's high profile. And even when my team was desperate to hire a mid-senior level, we had to interview close to 50 people just to fill one position. It wasn't a competition for a single slot either, we were just looking for someone who was baseline qualified. If more than one emerged, we would have hired them all and just rerouted them to our sister teams who were looking to fill some positions as well, or to elsewhere in the company. But getting that one baseline competent person (we ain't talking about some 10x rockstar engineer type) was already a struggle.
Not sure how it goes in US, but in Europe you can quite easily get pseudo-vaccinated. Costs couple hundreds € depending on place but it's rather widespread, especially right now, when you can pick place where you want to be "vaccinated".

It's simple. You show, your dose gets straight to trash, all the papers are OK. Show up in couple months for the next "dose".
This was very obvious already (though it's good they did the reporting). We all watched certain high-profile users flouting the rules constantly.
The point isn’t that he gets special protection for logging on on new devices, it’s that he receives thousands of fake login attempts a day. It’s basically the same point: 10000x the number of abuse reports be 10000x the number of login attempts.
Not sure what country you are, but most also have the Employer pay on top of that too.

So you might pay a 10% social security tax, and the employer might be paying an additional 15% that doesn't appear on your payslip.

That's what Amazon, etc. are talking about when they say they pay a load of employment taxes.

That's also why a lot of countries are eying the gig economy with skepticism, it's actually often just a massive tax dodge for the company to not pay employment taxes.

Uber is about as close to a ship of theseus as it gets.

All this stuff you're talking about is ancient news from like 4 years ago. Since then, the entire C-suite left, including Kalanick and Thuan (Singhal spent virtually no time at Uber), not to mention crazy high attrition rates at all levels, and several rounds of layoffs to top it all off.

Since then, greyball and its ilk got shutdown, the CSO got fired for hiding a leak, HR ramped up from its comically understaffed numbers, and Uber even "fired" a board member for making a sexist joke.

The only high profile scandal under new management that I recall was the Tempe SDV death, and that division got sold off to Aurora...

This question is answered in the article:

> Those who are fully vaccinated may be amongst those denied access if they do not have a printer or mobile device, or if they have forgotten their documentation at home. This will especially impact the poor, those who are homeless, those with developmental delays or those who suffer from cognitive impairment.
> This forum is good for such topics, and so are many subreddits.

IME, in my fields of expertise (in IT), this forum is bad - as in, if you don't already have expertise, you shouldn't trust what you read; most of it is wrong or bad advice. Subreddits are worse, a waste of time (of course, maybe I don't know about good subreddits because I hardly ever read them).

Hospitals in Alabama have run out of intensive care unit beds as coronavirus cases spike across the state, forcing workers to make space to treat patients as they wait for open beds. There were 29 more patients than ICU beds available as of Wednesday, an Alabama Department of Public Health spokesperson confirmed to CBS News.

Hospital staffers have been forced to convert hallways, regular patient rooms and emergency spaces into areas where they can treat patients in need of ICU rooms, CBS affiliate WHNT reported. Officials said some patients could be transferred to different hospitals when beds become available.

"We've never been here before. We are truly now in uncharted territory in terms of our ICU bed capacity," Dr. Don Williamson, president of the Alabama Hospital Association, told CBS affiliate WTVY.

As the coronavirus continues to sweep Tennessee, all intensive care unit beds are currently full at most hospitals in every major metropolitan area in the state, according to the Tennessee Hospital Association.

“This means that if you or a loved one need treatment for any type of serious healthcare, problem like a severe injury, heart attack, or stroke, you may not be able to access the care you need, when you need it,” Long said in a statement on Thursday morning.

https://www.newsweek.com/georgia-icu-beds-now-95-percent-cap... (Georgia)

According to the health department, over 80 percent of emergency department beds are occupied throughout the state, while 86.6 percent of general inpatient beds are being used. Of the state's 14 regions, five are already over ICU capacity, with ICU beds in some parts of west Georgia reporting as high as 115.4 percent capacity, according to WSB-TV.

Mississippi braces for ‘failure’ of hospital system due to covid-19 surge and lack of ICU beds

A surge in coronavirus patients and a shortage of health-care workers and intensive care unit beds have pushed Mississippi’s hospital system to the brink of “failure,” state health officials warned Wednesday, saying drastic federal intervention was needed to help the state grapple with the thousands of new daily infections that have overwhelmed doctors and nurses.

https://www.businessinsider.com/mississippi-hospital-without... (Mississippi)

Memorial Hospital at Gulfport doesn't have enough ICU beds to house patients waiting for brain and heart surgeries, two staffers told Insider. The situation is so dire, the hospital has no choice but to cancel them. In the best case scenario, patients who need these surgeries might wait days to receive one, said Whitney Sutton, registered nurse and ICU manager at Memorial. Some will wait even longer, for periods of up to two weeks.

How to write about web performance
It's kind of clear from context, but still this is the first I hear the term (as someone who played those games) and DDG also doesn't come up with anything useful (top result, for example, is about some item in Dragon Ball). So I was also wondering if I got it right, especially when there's a hundred non-jargon and equally concise ways to say that, e.g. 'large group'. To me this seems like a valid question.
It sounds like the kind of number you would use hyperbolically to mean “a lot”.
Like investing now in over a year to capacity?
So far I've only followed Rust peripherally, but if Amazon is going to drive it, that makes me more interested in adopting it. Experience with Scala, and contrast with Golang and TypeScript, makes me want to use a language that has a strong corporate backer.
> But reality is that aside from tech sector, people cannot afford buying a new electric car.

Here in the United States, EVs start around $24k. That's not nothing but it's half the price of the trucks and SUVs millions of people buy mostly for aesthetic reasons and, more importantly, it's about what the average car owner spends over a 2-3 year period when you include all of the costs: not just the vehicle but fuel, insurance, maintenance, parking — and those are just the direct costs, not including taxes, medical costs, and the higher prices everyone pays for housing and shopping in order to subsidize car users.

If that's a significant burden for anyone, it's far more cost effective to invest in transit, pedestrian, and bike infrastructure since those options are much cheaper and also healthier.
Unit testing and integration testing are not mutually exclusive. I use both. I also want the feedback from tests/build of what I am developing to be as immediate as possible. Failing early with a test that takes a second to spool and run with a message like "expected File got Content" or whatever is more valuable than waiting for a much longer test for the same (or more obscure due to depth of stack that will need a debug session) message.

TL;DR: Running an entire webstack to test trivial things is waste.

> Because Americans maintain the fiction of a classless society

There is nobody in the US that believes US society is classless. Talk about fictions.

Everyone knows upper class, middle class, lower class segmentation. So how is it you reconcile your premise of Americans not thinking there are classes when everyone in the country defines themselves by such structures? Americans are taught the class structures all throughout school. Americans are informed about the class structures 24/7 by popular media and news, from the NYTimes to CNBC and everything inbetween.

The hyper rich and the poor have been an always part of US society. There are no exceptions in terms of grasping the distinction, nobody fails to get it. The US has had hyper rich and poor since its founding and everyone here has always been aware of the divisions. It's in our history books, it's in our earliest literature. It's omnipresent as a thing.

Before there was the industrial wealthy and working poor, there were the land barons and British lords, farmers, agrarian workers and the slaves that were brought to the US by the conquering European empires. The class systems here quite pre-date the country, so yes, Americans are fully aware of it all. It has never not been part of US society.
Isn't this the same terror every YouTuber lives under?

Maybe it's a cheap (laborwise) and dirty solution if you don't want to muck about with networking too much.

replying to cratermoon as a English born nearly retired child of a now almost entirely American family, whose parents totalled 100 years of life and was taught to program and think by my uncle who would be 121 years old if alive and who worked intimately with with the American war command, I have no answer to your question other than that is the defining of the American Way to believe that the rules apply for all of us equally. The definition of 20th century British nature is to be the inbred product of generations of ancestors who never doubted the rules for the privileged are not even comparable to those for the populace.

I am too old for reconsidering the possibilities of a investment linked naturalisation process, but the development in American political culture since 2016 has convinced me that I would be committed to doing everything possible to reverse recent real and far more damaging perceived decay of moral and judicial common citizenry in the USA. The rest of the world doesn't know how terrible this is for everyone.

It was a thread on this site early this year where that was part of the discussion. I don't have one, and I'm not even saying it is true, just that I found that angle interesting.
My point was not that at all. My point was that there are a myriad of preventable illnesses, that impose a massive cost on society, that the same members of the left wing tribe that are advocating for a vaccine mandate, would never dream of advocating be combated through any restrictions that violate bodily autonomy, and that this inconsistency reveals that these vaccine mandate supporters are disingenuous when they claim their motivation for advocating for a vaccine mandate is the burden the unvaccinated put on the healthcare system.
But that is totally irrelevant to the proud and enlightened antivaxer Marxist. To them it's most definitely propaganda Bill Gates wrote from his mansion in the hollow Earth. And as those people continue being tolerated, such stories will continue to show up. In the 21st century.
Nicotine also has nootropic effects (just like amphetamine and cocaine).
Due to EMTALA, hospitals with ERs aren't legally allowed to turn away unstable patients based on vaccination status. And as a practical matter there is no 100% reliable way to determine whether any particular patient is vaccinated. Most US states maintain centralized immunization registries but there are lags in data entry, some patients get vaccinated elsewhere, and some patients opt out of the registries.
They aren't officially EOLing the stereo cameras yet, but their assurances about how long they'll remain in production have been very hand-wavey.

"Turns out managing communication for nearly the entire human race is hard! And requires a lot of people"

Yeah, no shit! You say that like Facebook didn't completely strong-arm their way into wanting to become the sole communication provider for the entire world. They struck deals and started entire projects making sure telcos in emerging markets would only get priority to Facebook, and Wikipedia, and basically no other competitors. They tried to convince the Indian government to make access to Facebook 100% free of charge until backlashed pushed them out.

If they didn't want to become the mediator of all human communication, that's fine, they can stop at any time. But they themselves chose to put themselves here as the messenger, growth-at-all-costs style, and that means they get to deal with the consequences. It's not like they stumbled into this problem by accident.

I can't feel pity for a company that wanted world domination, achieved it, and is now stuck with the issues. Turns out when you're the communication provider for 3 billion users, you get the problems of your 3 billion users! You can't say they didn't know that going in...
I'm OK with Amazon taking over. Maybe they can make the language really successful and a proper replacement for C++. The current team failed at that.

Whenever I speak to a C++ dev about why they won't switch to Rust they tell me the language is just too bloated and horrible and they prefer their version of hell to the "rustician" variant.
Inspirock
If you want to understand why so many people support vaccine mandates, think about it this way: The unvaccinated are launching a DDOS attack on the medical system. From spreading online misinformation and propaganda, to protesting outside of hospitals and harassing patients, to being abusing and giving PTSD to healthcare workers, to filling up ICUs with their bodies, they want to make sure you can't access medical services if you need them.

Guess what, my family has required ICU treatment in the past. They will in their future. I'm supposed to put these motherfuckers' made-believe "rights" ahead of the welfare of my family? No, that's not going to happen. I'm going to demand politicians crack down on these people and will support whoever does that, it's that simple.

This is one of my pet peeves on social media. Nothing is worse than vague references to personal issues or something requiring inside knowledge, while the person refuses to elaborate (not saying this is true here, I haven't dug into this issue). If you're going to make it public, decide to actually make it public.

I have roughly 70-80 social media friends, discounting Twitter which I don't engage with my friends at all but instead engage with other computer science, mathematics, physics and beer enthusiasts. These are people having similar interests to me, but they're not my friends. Sort of like HN - you can think of HN as a professional community where we all have like interests, but we're not friends. Like this conversation, we're just strangers who've met and are talking for a brief moment.
Honestly, I take issue with all of them -- including that one. "If it compiles, it works" is demonstrably false, and pernicious in perhaps surprising ways. As a concrete example, I believe the DWARF support for Rust to be extremely important -- but why would one invest in improving that if "it compiles, it works"? I know that undermining debugging infrastructure is not the intent here, but that's kind of the point: words are important, and the ones that have been chosen for these are exceedingly sloppy.
If someone arrives at the emergency room in critical situation we're not going to have them wait while someone in the records department tries to confirm their vaccination status.

What if someone claims they were vaccinated in another country without readily accessible records? Do you just turn them away? Doesn't work.
So… just call the colleague who knows on the phone? How is this any different than walking over to their desk and asking?

It’s very weird how adverse people are to spontaneous phone calls. Especially the younger generation. Everything has to be scheduled and confirmed back and forth.

I understand that an unexpected phone call can disturb someone, but so can an unexpected tap on the shoulder.

The cost in vaccines isn't just in getting them. One has to take off work (twice) to get them, have transportation to get them, and be able to handle being potentially stuck in bed for 1-2 days after the second vaccine. I believe the last is probably leading to the most vaccine hesitancy. If I don't have sick leave, worry that I will get fired if I call in and/or have to take care of small children, I will probably keep putting off getting the vaccine hoping to find some more convenient time. Yes, of course, it will be worse if they get covid, but I doubt the calculation is: "I will never get the vaccine and hope I don't get covid". I suspect it is more "I will get the vaccine as soon as I get a chance to have two free days to schedule it"
It's also worth noting that a vtable implementation of `virtual` methods is not required by the standard. Granted, I'm not aware of any other implementations of virtual methods (in the case where the compiler cannot optimize the virtual dispatch) in production compilers.

Yeah I wonder why this is. Perhaps misplaced idealism of human nature and authority. The Judge, CEO, or the Journalist despite their lofty titles are human too and can be influenced by others. They also are not immune to their own personal desires and biases as well.
