But that point doesn't support the message you're trying to say.

Suppose I were to say "Elbonia is a dangerous lawless country, where corruption abounds and you're not safe on the streets," and you were to respond by saying "There's nothing inherent to Elbonia to create those conditions except the lack of laws against corruption or mugging. And corruption and mugging happen in the US, too, and you'd see more of it if there weren't any laws against it. There's nothing about the Elbonians as a people that makes them more inclined to crime."

I would respond by saying "Thank you for proving my point that Elbonia is a dangerous place."
If you are getting drinks thrown in your face on a regular basis, I'll get my social advice somewhere else thanks :)

That said, I agree that the mismatch in scale between the social environment and the modern day is wreaking some pretty major havoc with a great many of our social heuristics.
A common use case, how to do random thing in programming:

I searched python make a bar chart and it returned a live coding video with an AI generated text transcript and two articles which mentioned a different kind of bar.

I then narrowed it down to just python bar chart, and got a blog post about scripting with a bar chart in it, this http://www.nitcentral.com/voyager4/hellyear.htm with monty python, bars, and charts from 1996 and among some other things I found this https://python-course.eu/naive_bayes_classifier_introduction..., which had an example of a python bar chart even though the title of the page made me think it wasn't what I wanted.

So for what I imagine to be a difficult search because of all the different meanings of the words, I found my result on the second query pretty quickly, and found some cool unrelated stuff too.

I like mostly that I get what I type in, and not exactly what I want, but what I want is there too.

I don't and I'm not. If you were herded like cattle before then I don't blame you for liking remote much better.
>Most humans working today can't quit their job without another job already lined up. Some people (like those in the later stages of their PhD) can't quit at all. They would end up losing potentially years of progress.

I was in the later stages of my PhD. It was rather easy once I got over my ego.

>This situation has absolutely nothing to do with what you were responding to. Changing career tracks in your early 20s isn't a big deal if you have fungible skills that are in high demand. Not everyone is in their early 20s or has high-demand skills, and that doesn't mean it's suddenly their fault that they're being abused.

There are plenty of unskilled jobs you can move to and you'd be no worse off than the 50% of Americans who work in them.

>Your single anecdote where you were a brave hero who wasn't "living in a fairy tale" doesn't give you some special insight or authority to tell other people they're stupid for trying to push through the early stages of a bad situation. No one knows whether or not it'll get worse or how long it will last. They do know there will be potentially severe financial and career consequences for leaving.

You sound extremely defensive, may I suggest you objectively review your situation?
42 years old. I've been in the industry 20 years now. Does that make me a young whippersnapper? I don't know. I can say that I refuse interviews that don't include job-relevant questions. If I'm asked to do work as proof of experience, I refuse any requests that aren't job-relevant. After this many years in the industry, if someone can't take the time to look at my publicly available body of work, call some references (which I always provide access to), then I want nothing to do with them. If your measure of someone's ability equates to fizzbuzz YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH TECH HIRING.

The grads probably aren't aware enough to know the difference, being new grads. And I'd wager that's why you're targeting them.
I keep thinking about Dostoevsky's account of late 19th century Russian prison in "The House of the Dead". It's in a remote town, but it's pretty open, civilians walk in and out and do business with inmates. Why are modern prisons so cut off from society in comparison?
This behavior would be a strong tell to me that you haven’t had to work on teams with net-negative contributors, or worried about how to avoid hiring them.

Experienced developers know this is a serious problem.
I think you’re right.

As information moves from idea to discussion to documentation, choose the right tool for the job. Chat systems like discord, or even an email list, are useful for ephemeral discussion and working things out. Once a concept stabilizes, move it to a wiki that is organized and edited to be a concise, focused document.
The search straight up doesn't work. You have to search for an exact word or it wont find it, ie 'hell' wont find the word 'hello'.
You sound like the same person that I am. I could almost print your comment out and put it on my fridge.

The only difference is you're almost certainly a better developer than me, I'm scared out of my mind to switch jobs because I despise being put on the spot during interviews. I hate it, and in my real work I'm searching online all the time and that looks bad. I don't have a child either but part of me wants to end my lineage just because it increases my own slavery.

I have no better way of making money. And to think I used to want to do this. Sometimes at night when thinking about the next day and my constantly-angry coworkers, I spontaneously envision shooting myself or hanging myself. I'd never do that, because I'm not giving the world that satisfaction, but it sums up how I feel. I'd bet there's a lot here on the same page. I think a large part of this situation for a born and raised US citizen is the outsourcing. Not only is the pay suppressed, but the treatment isn't nearly as good as it would be if companies weren't allowed to outsource costs through visas and remote hires.

These companies didn't care about keeping jobs in the US, so we shouldn't care about them either, and unionize with our international colleagues. Then the treatment and respect would go through the roof, and having the dignity of putting red tape in their way for once would probably increase worker satisfaction. I'd certainly get a good chuckle watching them being forced to pay my Indian colleagues the same as I make, and I'd be happy to do that to any employer that embraces outsourcing.

Yes. It's impossible to do battle with an entrenched industry. Just don't. That's why every startup these days is trying to find a niche the entrenched industries missed.
> I quite often hear stories on here, Blind, Reddit, etc. of people who manage to land multiple simultaneous offers from FAANGMULA+ but have yet to meet such a person.

It doesn’t seem so surprising? They all require you to do and say the same thing, so by the time you can do those things well enough for one, you can do them well enough for all of them (in this case regurgitating leetcode while seeming marginally likable).

Are there alternatives to homeassistant? I liked the idea until i figured out that i cannot easily create a new integration with my custom adruino automation.

ArrayBuffers are just views on underlying memory owned by the thread a V8 isolate is running on. (Each worker runs on a separate thread, each with its own V8 isolate). When we transfer an ArrayBuffer, we detach the underlying memory from the isolate in the sending thread, and move ownership of the memory area to the receiving thread, where a new JS ArrayBuffer object is created that points to that memory area.

TLDR: The memory is never moved, the pointers to it are just detached from one isolate, and instead passed to another.
I wish it was routine to do a blood test to determine the individuals characteristics before recommending an inoculation. In this day and age of big data there doesn't seem to be any sort of excuse except "its just cheaper and less liability arises by recommending the vaccine". I'm more concerned about my individual result not some actuarial assessment coming from a single dimension like time since last they paid for our shot.

This is just a rant about how vaccines in general are treated. Dogs are generally recommended to get rabies vaccines every 2 years even though there has never been any indication that the vaccine is needed again. Its only out of an abundance of caution in that single dimension without obvious long term outcome observation.
I had a very minor injury from a broken door handle today. It was barely a little more than a scratch. I did not think much of it but my wife suggested that I get it checked by a doctor to see if I needed a tetanus shot. My last tetanus shot was more than 10 years ago. So I cancelled my meetings for the day and visited a doctor. The doctor indeed prescribed a tetanus shot despite the injury being very small, so I got the shot about an hour ago. Then came back home and sat down to read more about it on the web. That's when I came across this article and thought I might as well share it with the HN community.

We should teach the bulk of Lawvere theories only once. Students should get to know groups and rings as two flavors of a similar construction, and also be introduced to the mysterious fact that some objects, like fields, don't fit into the Lawvere-theory paradigm.

I hope this article ages badly. We're at the tail end of the "mainframe" age of satellites. Expensive, long development times, low-risk projects. Hopefully with launch prices dropping, satellite development can become cheaper and iteration can become faster. We'll likely always require clean rooms for optical satellites but this doesn't have to be the case for other types.
I think they also force phone verification if you make multiple accounts connecting from the same ip. I don't want to run VPN just for a throwaway discord account and I don't know how to get burner phone numbers.

> Genius’s mission was to “create the Internet Talmud,” wrote Marc Andreessen in a blog post in 2012, referring to interpretive texts on Judaism. He suggested the company could expand to “annotate the world,” including “poetry, literature, the Bible, political speeches, legal texts, science papers.” In fact, it had trouble expanding beyond its core group of music fans.

Just looking at Marc Andressen's article linked here[1] shows why that failed. The article is unreadable. The Genius UI works for rap and poetry, because there entire lines are highlighted. But seeing a sentence, a phrase or even a word highlighted is jarring. I wasn't able to read three paragraphs of it.

States can expect payment of taxes and fees in their currency and can force businesses in their jurisdiction to accept their currency. Most importantly, they have sticks and guns to enforce that. This is the crucial difference between "fake" and "normal" currencies and is unlikely to change as long as states exist. People might trade in cryptocurrencies between them, but they will find it necessary to convert it to other currencies whenever a state can force them to.
And when they break the replacement? Or they piss off the guards so the replacement somehow takes months to get to them?

It’s cruel.
because markets have been effectively decoupled and insulated from reality for a while now. We never left quantitative easing from 2008 (the only attempt to do so tanked the market 800 points) and the fed's buyback --despite being signaled to stop soon-- doesnt seem to be stopping anytime soon on fear of the exact same type of flash-crash.

car companies can and do issue buybacks to bolster stock prices, and since interest on their debt is practically zero (or actually zero in many cases) theres no pressure from shareholders to do anything.

the fed seems content to ride out what they believe is short-term inflation as a tax on wealth, in lieu of blowing up the credit market with interest rate hikes. the real problems will begin if inflation begins to rise uncontrollably due to covid this winter and further employment stagnation.

I believe this inflation will continue to rise. the US is ill equipped for covid even in 2021, and no matter the wage hikes, employees seem to be firmly against going back to whatever it was that constituted "work" for them in the past without more meaningful reforms (healthcare, pto, etc...)

I was asked to sub for a PSE interview on short notice, so I did my usual fizzbuzz routine. Even that felt kinda goofy asking this excellent senior guy so I asked it with a bit of apologetic tone. The guy smiled with a twinkle in his eye and solved it the best way I've ever had anyone do it. We chatted about SRE topics the rest of the interview. Sadly he didn't end up accepting but I appreciated the good humor.
This changes the game for me. Well done.

Think how the maintainers of third-party package will maintain their package after this: before, they just need to target the one and only `atomic` (or any other package mentioned in the GitHub discussion), now they might have to target both `atomic` and `atomic/v2` just to support generics.

I really hope they could come up a cleaner solution than this.

Obviously a young person wrote this. When I was young, and could see everything crisply, I wanted lots of windows of tiny text.

Somewhere around age 50, your vitreous humor detachments, and you'll have floaters, and a bit of cataracts... at this point, dark mode becomes a necessity, as do larger fonts.

My main display is 1920*1080 and 31" diagonal. My laptop display is the same resolution but only 15" diagonal. I've had to scale the display to 1280*720 pixels to make everything large enough to read.

Enjoy the productivity while you're young. Please support options for dark mode and larger fonts for us old folks if you ever are in a position to do so laying out screens, etc.

A team always need to know what their goal is. For start-up, an engineering team might focus on product iteration/finding product-market fit. If you tell me scalability was your focus in a 3-man, 3-months old start-up, my response will be somewhere between skeptical and confused. On the other hand, for a later stage company, defined by any reasonable metrics, be it revenue, DAU, API calls, stability and maintainability are some sensible consideration. So I do consider track record to deliver business value an important signal

My point is not that learning category theory would prevent you from understanding other math, but simply that category theory doesn't get you far at all in practical math.

And for understanding a normal school curriculum, it's much more important to understand derivatives than it is to understand the deep connections between constructive geometry and algebra, which is the kind of thing where category theory shines.

Basically, category theory in education proponents seem to forget that math is not just learned for its own self, but that it is also an important basis for understanding physics and perhaps other subjects.

Students also tend to do horribly with abstraction, it's one of the hardest things for some to understand. I've literally seen (very young) students who can tell you how many apples they have if the multiply 5 apples by 3 apples, but can't tell you how much is 5 * 3. Or who can tell you what's the missing number in 5 + _ = 9, but can't tell you what is x in 5 + x = 9. This may or may not apply at other levels of abstraction for older students as well.

Leaders maintaining values is a matter of whether they have integrity, not of whether they can write down a set of rules for determining employee pay grades.

I don’t really know why you trust organizations that can write a statement of values down not to change.

Frequently these statements are written by consultants anyway, and organizations that do have good written principles that they live up to, do so because they have leaders of integrity, not the other way around.

I accept that you can’t see any other way to judge leaders than by examining their written statements.

I don’t so much mind (yet) slack replacing IRC. I use slack at work already. So more slack channels is an easy extension of that communication space. Collaborating with Kotlin or Elixir folks in their excellent slack channels feels like a modernized variant of the IRC communications I used to have with Python and Smalltalk.

Like you, I much prefer mailing lists over any sort of web forum (discord included). I hate Swift’s forums. I like the Python mailing list. One idea the reasons is that in the mailing list, I get to pick my tool (my mail client), and you can pick yours. We’re leveraging an already strong communication ecosystem of tools.
