A group of people are walking down the street when one person among the group points out a 20-dollar bill on the sidewalk. The armchair economist in the group says, "There is no 20-dollar bill here, because if there were, someone would have picked it up by now." Everyone in group defers to their friend's brilliant insight and keeps walking.

I really miss real keyboards on phones. The late windows ce and early android htc devices were amazing. I’ve been using full touchscreen phones since the iphone 2g and I’m still not used to them. Not sure what it is that makes my typing so bad that I have to keep peeking at the keyboard in order to not make mistakes. I would have expected muscle memory to have kicked in years ago. I can switch between pc keyboard layouts really easily from classic horizontally staggered to split ortholinear and all the in between variants but virtual keyboards are just different, i guess I could be old enough that my brain cannot easily deal with input devices that don’t provide feedback.

From what I understand of research, and advisories from Harvard Health and the like, reducing red meat intake in particular can improve CVD risk. Saturated fat raises total cholesterol levels; not just the "bad" small ldl, granted, but that is still thought to raise health risk. It's worse when paired with refined carbs and sugar.

The Mediterranean diet, which is as of yet the most studied in nutrition, advocates for little red meat, moderate poultry and fish, more legumes and vegetables etc.
There is housing available within commuting distance - I bought a 2 bedroom flat walking distance from a station with a 35 minute link to Kings Cross for under 200k. People seem to think they have some sort of God-given right to live in central London. If you want to buy a property you may need to make some sacrifices in that department. Yes the town I live in is pretty shite, and I have to train to work or to see friends on the weekend but I own my home.

Has anyone ever designed a slide out BT keyboard for phones? It could be a single size part with attachments for the different phone models. Or a pop socket style where it just glues onto your phone/case.
If you browse the source, the go scheduler has complexities to deal with that tokio doesn't as well. The thread pool is unified between worker threads & blocking threads. Go also does goroutine preemption via signaling/SuspendThread + a background monitor thread called sysmon. Go does garbage collection and the tracing/race-detection/semantics are tightly coupled to both its allocator and it's scheduler. Go also exposes and maintains its entire standard library which includes an http client/server (tokio the org maintains their own as hyper but its separated from tokio the runtime). It can be fair to argue that Go is just as "swiss-army-knife" of a system as tokio.

Not every posted open position will be filled. Some of those postings are the equivalent of lowball bids. They are opportunistic. Some are critical and must be filled at any price. The vacancies number does not capture the difference. I wonder how that shakes out in retrospect. Jobs that never got filled were not real vacancies just as "I'll give you five dollars for that car" does not make me a customer.
That's an interesting point, because Stripe also doesn't handle cash.

Something can be perfectly fine for people to do, and it can be just as fine for Stripe to not want to handle it. They can choose what types of businesses they want to allow on their network. It potentially creates opportunities for other service providers.
Yes, but this doesn't confute what I said, it only exacerbates the situation.

I wrote code with no pressure, tested it used it for months, and with some input that I didn't think about it broke spectacularly... I might be below average programmer (although I would say no, from what I have seen so far), but as I said, the chain is just as strong as its weakest link.

Don't assume that increased R&D spending leads to better products and/or reduced time to market, at least quickly.

There are consistent signs of technical decline at Intel, and "reviewing" underperforming units into oblivion is likely to drain away talent and destroy more value faster.

EDIT: other comments point out that Intel is sitting on an awful lot of cash. It can be safely assumed that Intel is spending as much as possibly useful on R&D and that their results are limited by talent and strategic choices, not by cheapness.

A friend of mine does this successfully in America. Cracked me up when he told me about it. We had joked about doing it years ago.

I'll suggest the same advice I gave him. Rather than working 2 full time jobs, have you considered consulting or freelancing? It's essentially what you're already talking about doing anyway. Now you're a consultant / freelancer. That pays pretty good. But it does run into limitations on your time.

For the Brexit-related component of worker shortage: It's a mix of workers leaving and choosing not to come back, many of them full-year not just seasonal, as well as workers that would like to come back temporarily to plug the gap, but aren't permitted even for skills-shortage roles.

Brexit and changing social attitudes have indeed put many off the UK, making other EU countries more attractive destinations. But there are still some people who would return temporarily for seasonal work if it was permitted.

This is not just the "low-paid, unskilled fruit picker" types of jobs, that are sometimes headlines. It is also skilled jobs that require considerable training and are paid well.

Example: Industry has been crying out to allow truck drivers from the EU to come to the UK, under the same "skills shortage" short-term visas that are allowed for some other sectors. A number of these involve driving routes on both sides of the UK-EU border, too, so it would make sense from that perspective as well. The government has said no, they must hire British workers for those roles. But they know it isn't possible in the short term, as it takes about 9 months of training. The government saying "just hire British workers today" when they know perfectly well that's not possible to comply with, is typical for this government in many areas, imho.

The shortage is obvious when shopping now. Common items you think of as in perpetual oversupply are currently out of stock, from normally well-managed supermarkets. For example, I can't buy any size pack of Coke Zero cans for delivery from the biggest supermarket Tesco. This is a popular item in the UK, and Tesco have a reputation for great logistics. Same for about a third of the other items on my regular items list. That's due to the truck driver shortage. Wages have increased tremendously (about 3x I think) for those roles this year. It's now a decent wage, more than a lot of people are earning, and they still can't be filled. So there's a genuine skills shortage in the UK, and people outside would do the jobs even temporarily while British workers were training, if it were permitted.
But that is just promises from your side. From their side, they have no idea how much effort you are or are not making, nor whether that effort will be enough or not.

To them, you are a risk. They don't want that risk.

I only have 100Mb FiOS and it handles that just fine. I'm not sure if it can handle gigabit. It ran OPNsense and acted as a basic router and dyndns, nothing fancy. My only real advice is to use an mSATA disk and not SD. My first install ran from a 32GB Sandisk SD card which died after a year.

If and when I buy a new APU I plan on running OpenBSD and learn to setup PF proper and roll my own router (A friend runs such a setup and loves it). At this point I just want a standard OS.

I've been drooling over the Titan, but the lack of an AOSP-derived ROM for it is an absolute blocker. I do not trust manufacturer's firmware one iota, no matter what, and this is only getting worse over time.

The best thing Unihertz could do in my mind would be to dump a bunch of support and money at LineageOS and get their phones supported. Especially the one with the DMR walkie talkie; the lack of third-party support for those is crippling them.

The automated email from Stripe is just weird. No, zero, disputes? That's uncanny.

I've run a Stripe.com integration (for a SaaS business). A few times a year somebody disputes a charge. It's usually because they looked at their payment card statement and didn't recognize us when we billed for renewal.

Our policy is

1) try to resolve the dispute in our favor. That mostly works. It's good for our reputation score on Stripe.

2) refund the customer's charge. Always.

3) contact the customer and ascertain whether they want to continue their subscription.

I don't understand zero disputes. That's just not feasible when dealing with the public.

> First is that the energy required for generating a human-sized body is huge, several hundreds times greater than that of a nuclear bomb

I thought this was a bit short, I'm pretty sure it's closer to:

1 gram = 90000000000000 joules

1 average us man = ~89000 grams

Google tells me 1 Hiroshima bomb = 63000000000000 joules

So the average us man should be ~127,142 Hiroshima bombs, or ~110,000 Hiroshima bombs for the average us woman.

Teleportation has that issue of "the reprinted is not the original" - ironically, turning someone into light and then re-assembling them into matter seems closer to "true sci-fi" teleportation.

I think the point is that this attack vector can be pretty anonymous and absolutely deadly to the target company.

This attack is also not protected by insurance, like someone setting fire to your office would be.

It does apply though. If you think error handling in Go is too verbose or boring, you're not solving a real problem. If you're trying to come up with design patterns and strategies - as described in the article - to see if you can shave off some code (at the cost of complexity and non-idiomatic code), you're not solving a real problem.

Software is never about the low level nitty gritty, and in these cases it's better to stick with what people expect to see / read. Don't make people think. I'm not smart enough to read your interesting error checking.
That would be more believable if you didn't specifically call out allowing foreigners to pretend to be from the US to "unlock services": aka - violate the TOS of said service and likely breaking one or more US laws.

It's Intel's vertical integration that has hamstrung its chip design for about half a decade. 10nm transition was an unmitigated disaster and because of it Intel has haemorrhaged technical dominance and has only really maintained market dominance due to entrenched and slow moving decision cycles within the data centre space and to a lesser extend the consumer market.

Intel will likely stablise over time but they won't enjoy the market dominance they had for most of the last decade.

> this invariably leads to hard-to-debug programs that terminate with unspecific errors like "i/o error", leaving it to the user or developer to figure out in which exact branch of the 9-layer call stack that error originated

You might want to add a caveat to 'invariably', something like: 'provided you're using a language where errors are modelled as one big mashed-together string' ;)

If we assume the basics of how Go is designed are an invariant, I think the best change would be adding syntactic sugar to return a struct satisfying the error interface, annotated with the (statically encoded) symbols and line numbers, and then also the arguments for those function calls. I have never seen a Go codebase whose hand-written 'contextual' error handling blocks provide even this, let alone more useful information. If you have, I'd be interested to hear about it!

I strongly disagree... also superstar make mistakes, and cannot know every single quirk. In particular when you have languages (like C++) with tons of "features" that enable very weird side effects in very weird situations.

By the way the worst clusterfuck I ever saw was caused by a very talented programmer that implemented a very complex object store on disk... the thing was brittle at best, and it failed in very spectacular ways.

Very entertaining to debug

Problem here is the level of stress. In my limited experience, no one hires contractors/freelancers to do "easy" tasks. So, I would get the same level of stress plus all the disadvantages of being a freelancer/contractor.
> Didn’t jekyll prove the opposite?

It doesn't seem to right now, apparently.

It may have done previously but either that didn't last long-term or, more likely I suspect but haven't checked, things were different and there was much more community interaction until the current quiet period.
Given the growth in law, regulation and economic share of the state I could see the argument for the US being defined as totalitarian, yes.
I see value in wrapping the error at the source, but I don't see the value in wrapping it beyond that point, unless there's there's genuinely new context to add at some boundary.

Yup. Sometimes knowing who to talk to (and access to them) is more important than legal authority to force something.

And as usual they're fighting the last war. The (western) world has moved on from the fairly indiscriminate bombings of the 70s-90s. Targeted attacks either against specific persons (e.g. 2017 baseball shooting) or against members of groups (e.g. Summer 2020 street violence) are the New Hotness(TM).

I'm not sure what tractable measures they could take (that's not my job to figure out and if it was I wouldn't do it for free) but I feel very confident saying that whoever or whatever group next takes a swing at government will likely do so outside of whatever measures protect the workplace.
When I was new to go I would have written one of these blog posts if I blogged. Over time I’ve come to appreciate go’s approach to errors. Nowadays I find it nerve wracking to write Ruby (my old daily driver).
