It's not just forums, recently I looked around for information on an incremental game only to be told that there is no wiki or anything like that but to "join the discord".

WHY?! would I ever use a chat software to look up static information on a game?
I know that information may or may change between releases but the release isn't daily or even close to that, so using a platform where I might have to read through or at least skim over hundreds of messages in conversation/support channels to find the right crumb of information is just insane to me.
Also having to get an account and/or installing additional software for serving information which could just as well have been done with a fandom/wikia page and no unnecessary barriers is just utterly stupid.
Thanks for the informative answer.

Cant the "roots" be also in segregation problems before? If I remember correctly what I learned early, it was called something like "red lining" created "bad neighborhoods" in cities.

>My guess is that Ukrainians just don't have time for that kind of nonsense. If someone is violent, they are put away quickly.

It is mostly true for Ukraine. But the real curse, as I said, is not organized crime, gangs, or someone with a firearm. The biggest problem in Ukraine is domestic violence. Most police officers don't have any weapon here except pepper sprays, stun guns, and other non-lethal tools. They usually fight with a drunk 40-something man who will get drunk and try to kill his family after that.

Domestic violence is a curse for CIS countries. And even if Ukraine changed government and how everything works with new and young politicians, you can't change people. In the end, 40%+ of the population suffers violence, and most of them, of course, are women. Great inheritance from the Soviet era, where "no violence, no sex, no drugs, only happy people."

>According to the estimation of OSCE the violence towards women is widespread in Ukraine and it is associated with three times more deaths than the ongoing War in Donbas in the Donbas region of Ukraine

Fragment from the Wiki article. More women get killed by their husbands than people die in the ongoing war with artillery, tanks, aviation, etc.
This is as bad as you can imagine when you read it.

Want to know how Russia fights domestic violence? They just decriminalized it, that's all. They don't even try anymore, so the only help you can get is from non-profit organizations.
the huge majority of deaths and chaos in Afghanistan wasn't caused by handguns guns, it was caused by IEDs.

I think unlimited PTO policies only make sense with a minimum. The minimum in Australian law is 4 weeks. When I worked in Singapore I also got 4 weeks even though the labor law in Singapore technically only mandates 4 weeks.

When I work with unlimited PTO firms I will just make my intention clear from the start which is to take 4 weeks. Plus the two weeks of sick leave I am entitled to if I get sick. So max I use 6 weeks. But my sick leave accrues. LIke when I left a company I had 6 weeks of sick leave left unused and not paid, which is fine.
Bonuses paid to design teams that are a direct function of the length between unprompted UI adjustments and redesigns?

Iteration on designs is of course permitted, but there’s more pressure on “get it right” rather than “dirty MVP”. Once launched, changes can’t go to prod-lest they lose their bonus-and emphasis is more on more in-depth and longer-term user research and refining the design.

This way design teams are still doing valuable work, and there’s no crunch to both design something and then get it out ASAP. The next time front-end teams come back to work on any kind of UI refresh everything is already sorted and ready to go.

If my experience from the other side is transferrable then no, they do not expect it to take 2 days. They actually mean what they are saying.

Unfortunately they are developers. They underestimate how long it will take. They didn't actually try it themselves. They might even have modeled it after a piece of software they did build in-house and thus underestimate even more.

I had to advocate very strongly on cutting scope from our take home test and multiple times argue against 'extensions' of the ask.

I like take home. It's a great way to talk about their code. Have them explain choices. Pros and cons. And yes tests please. What I look for is not complete test coverage or having 27 classes that all have pseudo tests. Have one class with _good_ tests. Show that you understand what is important to test and how to do that. If you know how to do that, I can hire you to repeat it for a salary.

My own last take home I sent in didn't even run because the implementation assumed various external services that I didn't bother implementing or mocking out enough to make it all run. I put lots of comments explaining various choices and what I'd expect those external services to do though. Was a great topic started about code comments and which ones I would leave in actual code and such.
The personal safety issue is being covered a lot here, but I think some people are missing something else; guns are a lot of fun. In an era where bars and movie theaters were closed due to pandemic, you could safety go to an outside range and ring steel instead. This is particularly relevant if you consider the ongoing shortage in 22lr, a cartridge which is woefully underpowered for self defense, but ideal for killing soda cans and learning the basics of marksmanship.

I agree that your list is of complex interesting things that Fortran is not the best, or even a good, choice for. But that doesn’t mean it‘s “dead”, and it is not. It’s not even sick.

For a new project that I would have chosen Fortran for five years ago, today I would choose Julia. But it’s still not dead. Anyone who thinks so does not read papers in computational physics, for example.

The poster to whom I replied was citing averages, which are useless in the context of a large, diverse place like the US with a non-uniform distribution.

The average murder rate in the US is a distraction, except to point out (as I did) that obviously people aren't dropping like flies. If any significant fraction of those 300M guns were killing people, the average would be several orders of magnitude higher than it is.

Go ahead and exercise your personal rights to defend yourself and your family as you see fit based on your values and risk profile.

The averages neither support the idea that we should ban guns, nor that we should all get one. Because, again, averages are pretty useless -- but that's the context of the current thread of discussion, so I felt a need to respond.

EDIT: major rewording for clarity.
"Censorship" always has a context.

When a government censors, it is (generally) saying "You may not say or print this in our society".

When a parent censors a child, they are generally saying "You may not say this within our family".

When a particular social group censors a member, they are saying "You cannot say this within our social group".

When a social media platform censors someone, they are saying "You may not say this (or anything else) on our platform".

One of these things is not like the others.
The second will be Nazis.

The third pedophiles.

The fourth BLM, or some type of socialist.

Microsoft told the world Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows, but we now have Windows 11 meaning that earlier idea is dead in the water.

Seeing how badly Windows 11 has been received, it looks like Windows 11 is turning into the new Windows Vista.

If Microsoft fails to turn around that perception, they'll need a Windows 12 just to hide the smells produced by this release.
Agree, direct managers, make or break all the difference.

Ex Atlassian. Worked on a good team. We were told we were seen as "high performance". I had positive reviews, was told I was, without doubt, the star/person who made the team, received a performance bonus when issued etc.

I had a great two years, and then the business wanted to change some stuff, new CTO making his mark, ban some languages we had been using for two years that enabled us to be high performance and instead work more like the CTO's ex company, Gumtree which while large are non-descript. The team wasn't happy. The team was systematically watered down/broken up/moved elsewhere/members were replaced to align with the CTO's opinions.

My manager, who had been good for the past two years, an evangelist for what we were doing and encouraging it, did a complete 360. What he was previously evangelizing for, he was actively hunting out, trying to crush and punish. Chat messages were being watched and then used against people in one and ones for criticizing specific code, nothing that looks out the ordinary on a dev chat room. A colleague and I talked outside work and later found we were being played against each other in a he said / she said. The same colleague got put on performance management for writing to many Lambdas in Java as we cannot be seen to be using the word Function anymore. My colleague resigned. On his last day, I was pulled into an office with some historic tweets on Twitter. Someone had actively searched me out on the internet, found some stuff to use against me, and I had my resignation on the table ready to sign. It gave me a bit of gardening leave just enough for some stock to vest as a severance package i guess.

The manager who only a few months earlier who had nothing but praise and actively encouraging my/my teams work had now gone online, typed my name into Google to see what they could find. They found some messages, admittedly silly for me to post but nothing terrible, and used them against me to get rid of me for doing what he was an advocate for before the new CTO tried to make his mark.

Worst sprint-review I'd ever been in, a team of 5-6 people, calling out issues with a pr, heads on desks because the manager says we have to merge a rewrite by another team. All devs were silent as they had already said everything, and the manager just pressed merge and said: "done".

The specific manager was very career-driven, and the best thing for his career was to follow CTO direction. Rather than bat for his team, he systematically rebuilt it and turned on people to move them on.

Glassdoor reviews around the time I left by other people where not great either.

It's very culty, you are either in the cult or not.
Brazilian gunfights between criminals and off-duty cops are a pretty big trope when it comes to videos of self-defense incidents. Of course, off-duty cops are basically the only Brazilians allowed to conceal carry.

Numbers wise, we are doing much better than Mexico and Brazil, by about the same factor that France is doing better than we are and Japan is doing better than France. US homicide rates are a lot closer to Greenland or Argentina, and significantly less than a lot of nice LatAm countries that are popular with Western expats such as Costa Rica or Panama or Uruguay. The legality and availability of firearms cannot fully explain these differences, and it’s incomplete to simply compare the US to the EU.

A small shunt engine pulls the train to the far end, nearer to the office of the Bayside Port Corporation, then pushes it back to the ramp again. Having completed this Canadian rail journey, the truck drives back down the ramp, out to Route 127 and across the border to make its delivery in the Eastern United States.

> given any system of sufficient complexity,

That's my question. It seems that adding "self reference" to the system makes it more complicated than it would be otherwise. So it's not just a system with enough complexity to let you do arithmetic. You need a system with enough complexity to also do self-reference. And I would say and think that self-reference is complicated.

Do we need self-reference in any other areas of mathematics, than Godel's and related proofs?
That does not address the issue I was raising.

In some systems, sophisticated memory ownership and concurrency control are implemented in the hardware. These abstractions are very low-level and are intended to transparently support fine-grained and extremely high concurrency with almost no overhead.

The memory ownership model is oblivious to the programming language's concept of such a thing. As long as the compiler is emitting the appropriate memory control instructions, there can never be a conflict no matter how many concurrent mutable references there are and this conflict resolution is nearly free. This scales to thousands of cores and millions of concurrent threads.

The issue with porting Rust to this silicon, without thinking about it too deeply, seems to be two-fold:

First, code organized to satisfy the borrow-checker etc is an anti-optimization on these CPUs because they are specifically designed to encourage you to ignore memory ownership and mutability at the code level. This enables absurdly concurrent code execution on mutable shared memory that would be difficult-to-impossible to write safely on an ordinary CPU in any language.

Second, you would probably want the Rust compiler to ignore many issues of ownership and concurrency, instead emitting appropriate memory control instructions and delegating it to the hardware, since the hardware does it much better. This seems non-trivial, particularly since the hardware model does not map perfectly to Rust's model in the details (which vary by CPU design). This also creates the case of code that safely compiles on this silicon won't compile on e.g. x86 because the safety is provided by the hardware rather than at compile-time.

Ironically, a large part of the reason these CPUs have never been commercially successful is that people don't know how to write idiomatic massively concurrent mutable code. The assumption that thread concurrency is expensive and dangerous is so pervasive that everyone writes code that tacitly assumes this even when it isn't true for the given hardware, with significant loss of performance. Idiomatic algorithms and data structures in C++ on these platforms look very different than what you would use on e.g. x86 or ARM.
