Warby Parker | (Senior + Mid-level) iOS Software Engineers, (Senior + Mid-level) Data Engineers, Principal Software Engineers, and (Senior + Mid-level) Site Reliability Engineers | New York, NY | Onsite (Hybrid) | https://www.warbyparker.com/

Warby Parker was founded with a mission: to inspire and impact the world with vision, purpose, and style. Since the day we launched in 2010, we’ve pioneered ideas, designed products, and developed technologies that help people see—from designer-quality prescription glasses (starting at $95) and contacts to eye exams and vision tests. Customers can meet us online, at more than 145 Warby Parker stores across the U.S. and Canada, or even in their home. Ultimately, we believe in vision for all, which is why for every pair of glasses or sunglasses we sell, a pair of glasses is distributed to someone in need through our Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program. To date, we have worked alongside our nonprofit partners to distribute more than eight million glasses to people in need—and we're only just getting started.

> Bank runs like from the movie "Its a wonderful life" - they don't happen anymore.

There was one at the beginning of the coronavirus epidemic in the US. A friend of mine runs a branch of a major bank. Just as lockdown was announced, they were mobbed by people demanding cash. The branch ran out of cash and had to close early. It was a bit of a frightening experience for the bank staff. But not a disaster. The branch ordered more cash delivered from the bank's cash center, added extra guards, reopened the next day with the ATMs fully loaded, paid out cash all day, and were back to normal traffic levels by the end of the day.
We basically build a space/time model of the world, where systems are performing functions in events that take input states and change them into output states such that those events either causally trigger each other or the causal link that the input states to an event means that the event outputting that states is the cause of the current event.

The conceptual AI models operational concepts based on an understanding on how human concepts work, inference and automatic classification using those concepts, and then learning new concepts. The operational side of the digital twin uses functional specifications held elsewhere, which is also true of the operational concepts which use specifications in the form of conceptual definitions.

And the technology takes in RDF graph as data for input, builds the digital twin model from that data with extensive infererence, then expresses itself back out with RDF graph data. (Making https://solidproject.org/ the ideal protocol for us where each pod is a digital-twin of something)

It's worth remembering that the slippery slope is maybe best known in the context of the slippery slope fallacy, i.e. you probably aren't gonna get there (iron-clad rule by technocrats) from here (Twitter not allowing likes/retweets of vaccine misinformation.)
sqlite bindings in browsers came and went in the time between when I learned about them and finally found a nail that needed that hammer.

From the movie Margin Call:

"So you think we might have put a few people out of business today. That its all for naught. You've been doing that everyday for almost forty years Sam. And if this is all for naught then so is everything out there. Its just money; its made up. Pieces of paper with pictures on it so we don't have to kill each other just to get something to eat. It's not wrong. And it's certainly no different today than its ever been. 1637, 1797, 1819, 37, 57, 84, 1901, 07, 29, 1937, 1974, 1987-Jesus, didn't that fuck up me up good-92, 97, 2000 and whatever we want to call this. It's all just the same thing over and over; we can't help ourselves. And you and I can't control it, or stop it, or even slow it. Or even ever-so-slightly alter it. We just react. And we make a lot money if we get it right. And we get left by the side of the side of the road if we get it wrong. And there have always been and there always will be the same percentage of winners and losers. Happy foxes and sad sacks. Fat cats and starving dogs in this world. Yeah, there may be more of us today than there's ever been. But the percentages-they stay exactly the same. "

I'm not sure I understand what makes dynamic typing better for handling real-world data. Yes, the data is messy, but your program still has to be prepared to handle data in a specific shape or shapes. If you need to handle multiple shapes of data, e.g. varying JSON structures, you can still do that with static types, using sum types and pattern matching.
I have a friend that is a retired vp at FedEx. I once asked him what he thought of the US Post Office. His opinion was that they are amazing at what they do and the scale they do it at and that there is no way FedEx could get close to their level of ubiquitous service at the prices they charge.

So a hash of an image of a fingerprint isn't "something you have"? Leaves few things in that category then?
Someone buying Twitter and banning a whole (normalish) category would be wonderful: it would make space for alternative platforms. As it is everybody is too lazy to fight the network effect.

Maybe regulators should force dominant platforms to kick out a section of their user base every so often to keep the ecosystem diversified.

Why can't browser natively sign transactions using secp256k1? And why is that not required for L2 transactions?
I think it is basically this. Amplifying dangerous messages has a liability.

Screaming "FIRE! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" in a crowded theater when there is no fire or evidence of fire is not protected speech under any sane "freedom of speech" doctrine.

Giving the person screaming that a megaphone makes you complicit in the crime.

Giving people the "freedom" to trick other people into causing harm to each other is not giving people freedom. It is supporting abuse.

There are lines, of course... fine or otherwise, and it is a messy process to draw them. And mistakes are often made and should be called out.

But it is not a weak argument to claim that supporting the spread of disinformation about public health measures during a pandemic is supporting abuse.

And the problem with social media is that instead of there being 200-500 people who can hear the megaphone there are hundreds of million. Scale matters. What can be tolerated in the local pub a half hour before closing may not be tolerable on a billboard in Times Square.
Learnings from Launching My First No-Code App in a Month
The Fafsa Is Down
Freqfs seems like a shim you'd add to an existing project for a quick optimization. Whereas mmap et al. are "better" the same way any specific, built-to-purpose code will be "better" than just bolting a framework on. Sometimes it's the right call to do the extra work; sometimes it's 100% more effort (both development and maintenance) for an extra 10% gain.
Just take care not to touch it…
I like crypto, and decentralized finance is interesting, but I find it quite telling that users are being threatened with having to pay taxes as retaliation.
The (JS) frontend SDK can be set to either online or offline mode. When in online mode, it seems to insist on downloading full copies of records, even when a version is somewhere in the local cache, slowing things down and incurring cost. Some optimisation could have been applied here, I didn't find anything about it in the docs. Does this match others experience?
Your 'Reality: [...] End of story' claim does not contradict the title. They may automatically have a truck license, but also have never driven a truck.

If I got a truck license more than 20 years ago (before 1999) but never drove a truck in my life, I would definitely feel uncomfortable driving a truck. Shit, I feel a bit uncomfortable driving my car after a two or three month break. For 20 years to elapse between licensing and putting that activity into practice seems justifiably eyebrow raising to me. The headline doesn't even mention the 20 elapsed years part of it.

This, to me, used to be implicitly included under freedom of speech. Might as well make it explicit.
The protocol is not immutable, and there have been several changes to it in the early days, and several proposed changes that keep being discussed (such as the famous block size limit change). If the people developing the software and the major mining groups agree on a change, who will stop them?
That depends. In the case of vaccines, the placebo is often all the ingredients of a vaccines minus the biological component, or in other cases, an already approved vaccine is used as the placebo.

So, it's probably a poorly controlled study, or garbage results, or both.

As with all of these forays, I applaud the author for learning new things, but these benchmarks are primarily testing reading from stdin and format printing to stdout, followed by testing bignum impls as mentioned elsewhere. For this reason, the title and benchmarks are a bit misleading.

Most modern static languages have some way to hold onto a dynamically typed object, stuff them into containers of that dynamic type and do some basic type reflection to dispatch messy dynamic stuff off into the rest of the statically typed program. Sometimes it does feel fairly bolted on, but the problem of JSON parsing tends to force them all to have some reasonably productive way of handling that kind of data.
I was told that civil society needs the freedom to discuss things in order to have a functioning society, but you do you. I'm a communist, so I'm no friend of the right wing, but the Hunter Biden story that was censored before the election is now confirmed. You're seeing the knock on effects of that.
Yeah, Brexit is working so well.

"People need to stop and think... driving a tanker, no matter what the product, is quite a pressurised job, so following them puts extra pressure on drivers already under pressure without having to worry about absolute morons."
For some, truthful attribution of causality matters.

> The mortality burden of COVID-19 is not randomly distributed across age groups. Indeed, age appears to be the “strongest predictor of mortality” from COVID-19, with one’s risk of death increasing exponentially with age. According to CDC figures, the oldest populations experience a rate of death 570 times higher than that of the youngest populations.

Basically, every german with a drivers license before the 2000s is allowed to drive lorries with up to 7.5t, with 3.5t afterwards. Also, a lot of males doing mandatory military conscription had the ability to get a full truck license at the Bundeswehr for free.
This is coming home to roost at the moment, as the voluntary fire brigades depended on most people being allowed to drive the big 40t or at least lighter 7.5t units. Slowly, this is sinking in and more are able to acquire those licenses, but its still a massive bottleneck.
I understand what you are saying, but this is all internally built stuff. The slopey shouldered mentally breeds a "don't give a fuck" mentality around code, testability, ease of new releases etc. I'm used to eat your own dog food.

Wasn't this merely part of a religious ritual?
While I'm not into Ethereum itself, lots of the failures you see are happening because the infrastructure for (mostly) decentralized finance is moving at an incredible (and irresponsible) speed. We're witnessing the modern version of old bank robberies that helped create the regulations.
...also testing half-compiled code. JIT compiled tests that run few seconds just discredit their authors. It's yet another example of how not to perform microbenchmarks.
The Accessibility Bugs Introduced and Resolved in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15
Probably not, I think there is utility in relating two similar things, especially when someone is likely to be more familiar with one over the other. Someone who knows networks really well could find it useful to model an engineering team as a network. What really matters is whether modeling the engineering team as a network is useful in your case or not.
What people should be slightly more concerned about is how now abusive behavior is allowed against people who are not considered to be "protected" under Californian state law.
>s there concrete evidence any of this is happening?

Cambridge Analytica?

Doesn't even matter if there's any truth behind the science. If the personality profiling works, they can apply their MODEL from the 270k responses they DID get, against every single other user's public profile information, and get a high-likelihood result.

Does that mean they can tell exactly what MY personality type is? (as much as that may or may not be a valid "thing") - - I doubt it. But can they locate a region on a map where around 180,000 of 200,000 residents fit into a particular personality type, and then target ads to that region with a degree of better accuracy than "random"? Absolutely.

Index that against voting records; (which is what the "fake election audits are for" why else do you think they started with Arizona which blew in an unexpected direction for them? Also Kobach's efforts in 2017 were probably actually a data-collection operation for the GOP) - and you have a good map for how to target campaign spending in the next election. I also assume the Census data is abused in this way, (by whichever party is in-power at the time).

"dont ever engage with anyone or anything for any reason whatsoever" is fine and dandy.

And it's like a Zombie Apocalypse: you can protect yourself from being bitten. But you can't protect yourself from the consequences of everyone else being bitten and turning into zombies and coming after you in such great numbers, that you don't have enough ammunition stockpiled for all the headshots you'll need. (That's my analogy for "people infected with racist (and etc) disinformation are gonna vote a certain way, whether you take in that disinformation or not.")
If you make it tail recursive, its insanely fast in common lisp. (sbcl)
> The cash back you receive does not cover the increase in prices that are passed on to you

Very few places charge a different rate for credit card vs cash purchases, so I would have to pay the increased cost whether I use a credit card or not. Since I have to pay it anyway, might as well get the cash back.

Also, while you are right that I could hypothetically have my account suspended for no reason, it has never happened in the 25 years I have been using credit cards. I also mitigate this risk by having more than one credit card with different providers.

However, I have had merchants fail to deliver something I purchased and had to use the chargeback feature of my card multiple times, something I couldn’t do with crypto.

I don’t think I want to try to eliminate hypothetical risks that are unlikely at the cost if incurring very likely risks that I know will happen.

This seems like people who don’t wear a seatbelt because they are worried they will be trapped in a burning car unable to get out. Sure, that is possible, but not nearly as likely as being in a car accident where a seatbelt would save you from injury or death.

No, this is an enforcement of Californian social standards on global platforms, disregarding any law, cultural norm, or social standard that is NOT a Californian social standard (in fact, even pointing out that other social norms might exist is considered a violation of Californian CoC and considered hateful rhetoric).

A common complaint, but look at how titles like Horizon, Death Stranding, or Red Dead 2 play on PC vs on PS4 launch hardware that is now almost eight years old. Would you be playing those titles at 1080p on a GTX 700-series, a GPU that came out the same year and retailed new for nearly the cost of a PS4?

If anything, I think these kinds of comparisons underscore that even in a world where consoles are using mostly PC-originated components and architectures, there are still massive wins to be had when a developer can put their effort into targeting a single hardware platform (or a small number of them, eg pro and non-pro) rather than chasing a million interop issues across the infinity of permutations of in-the-wild PC hardware.
