That's not the only problem here, when we stay with same company our salary and revision are less when compare to later hire. So money matters. Also new tech and knowledge are also lacking.
Pretty much this.

A lot of the work would have been roughly equivalent to trying to de-minify some JS.

With a modern IDE the task would have been a lot easier. I don’t know if Eclipse had refactoring assistance built into back then, but if it did, I’d never even heard of the idea. I was sitting on not much more than a year of programming experience at the time.
How would you use something like Go without knowing what you’re compiling for?
There were North American tribes that used proscribed burning as a way of land management. There were also Native American tribes that cultivated what are now called perennial food forests. There were examples of such food forests in Oregon that are still producing foragable food, even left untended.

My understanding was that the forests from the East Coast to the Mississipi were almost park-like, unlike the dank, dark, scary forests the colonials were used to. Someone was tending them.

There are evidence of such food forests in the Amazonian jungle. Those had to be cultivated with _terra preta_ (what is now called biochar). Without that, the constant rain would wash away the nutrients. Yet with that, there were also long-lasting perennial food forests supporting a fairly advanced civilization.

Cultivation of the land does not have to be at odds with the land. People have been in "harmony with the land" while still purposefully practicing agriculture. It just wasn't agriculture that colonials were used to seeing: cleared fields, tilling, monocropping, maximizing yields for cash crops. I think the permaculture ethical principles of "care for land", "care for people", "fair share" would find alignment in many indigenous cultures, and you can do all of that while practicing agriculture.
Except it's not legal. It's still a federal Schedule I drug, so if you or your clients are involved in a heavily regulated industry, your company is taking its life in its hands, no matter how much it looks like everyone is willing to look the other way for now. Why do people forget this??
Enjoying this exchange!

A "breakthrough infection" is still an infection, No? It seems that sophisticated semantics are being used in media to veil underlying weakness in the arguments and premises and move the goal post.

> That group has chose to not be protected.

The side effects of people choosing not to get vaccinated is that they will get sicker because they choose not to get vaccinated, Yes?

It is not my business if they self-risk getting sicker, or if they consume to much sugar, or don't exercise enough, or sky-dive.

Surely you can see how this narrative becomes a circular self contradictory "double bind" [1] that could go on forever. It's a very fascinating way to indirectly exert control [2].

[1] A double bind is a dilemma in communication in which an individual (or group) receives two or more reciprocally conflicting messages. In some scenarios (e.g. within families or romantic relationships) this can be emotionally distressing, creating a situation in which a successful response to one message results in a failed response to the other (and vice versa), such that the person responding will automatically be perceived as in the wrong, no matter how they response. This double bind prevents the person from either resolving the underlying dilemma or opting out of the situation. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bind)

[2] Double binds are often utilized as a form of control without open coercion—the use of confusion makes them difficult both to respond to and to resist. ((https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bind)
This perceived gap in unemployment needs some actual sources.

Unemployment in northern Europe is lower than in comparable places in the US with the same labour rights.

I can imagine unemployment in Southern Europe to be higher, but I am curious what you think you are comparing.

Here is something else to think about: it's safer to hire Americans because they will work 60 hours a week, never take a sick day, won't get pregnant and even if you give them vacation days they won't use them. So they are about 3/5 of the price of your typical European employee. A much better value proposition.

In return some of this will burn them out and put them on edge. This will likely have cultural, political and social consequences. If only we could give our American friends the sleep, reflection and family time they so much deserve.

You are talking about how the vaccinated can spread the virus, which is I agree is true, but ignoring that they can only spread the virus when they get a breakthrough infection. The vaccine massively limits the chance of being infected.

If you cannot recognize the fact that the change of infecting someone else is a function with two variables where x*y where x is a Boolean of isInfected and y is a floating point of chanceOfBeingInfected then I don’t know how we can continue talking as you are in a different reality than I am.

If you get the vaccine your y value in the previous function drops dramatically. If you only look at the x value then of course you won’t see a value in getting vaccinated because you are ignoring the effects of vaccinating

Warning: vague, hand-wavy half-memory incoming.

One place I worked at had a tool, I forget the name, that could record and report on which features and parts of the site where got used and how much. At one point we were discussing a particular bug we found and how much effort it would take to fix it. I asked my co-worker who happened to have the usage reports at her fingertips, because that was her thing, how much the feature was used. Just wanted to prioritize it. Zero. Users had never touched the screen the entire time since it was rolled out. I expressed my sympathy for the developers who worked on it because they were told it must be done, but it was an easy call to throw the bug into the WONTFIX pile.
And here in America, I got literally laughed at by my small-town police force as a teenager when I went to them with the exact house my stolen bike was sitting outside of.
I only have some experience in low-level politics in a parliamentary system based on proportional representation, though I know a number of mid-level politicians and kind of know some top-level politicians in my home country.

Based on what I have seen, most politicians genuinely believe they are working for the common good. Their understanding of what the common good is obviously varies.

In a system like that, politics is mostly about playing the long game. You build a personal brand that gets you elected and re-elected and gives you influence within your party. You build and maintain your networks, you collect political capital by supporting others' goals, and you spend the capital to advance your own goals. You try to find a balance between short-term and long-term goals, because your opponents today may be your allies tomorrow, and you don't want to alienate them by playing too hard.

Unpleasant and toxic people may sometimes survive in politics. They are rarely successful, because politics is all about people skills, at least in the system I know of. (Such people are more common in administrative positions, because their status is more secure in a meritocratic hierarchy.) People focused on specific topics often also have a hard time in politics, because they have a tendency of becoming unpleasant when things don't go their way in the niche they are interested in.

The public image of politics can be toxic, because the current publicity game requires it. The same politicians often appear quite different behind closed doors, where they are allowed to speak off the record.
Making it easier to require people to carry papers is not beneficial.
Au contraire, it does make sense. There have been a number of adpocolypse events that kicked off when advertisers became worried about certain content
Cool app. Installed and been using today.

Feedback:
I’ve already added meet.google.com, calendar.google.com and a few other web apps. And I foresee having to add a LOT more of these to the disable list.

From UX perspective I’d suggest fleshing this list out. And if possible, find an automated way to generate a list of web app subdomains/urls and disabling them all.

I can see this list getting very long, very quick.
What if you caught covid in the early months of 2020 and have already suffered all of the debilitating long haul effects? Now you are actively living with the new normal that covid has left to your body?

That is where I am right now. My wife is double jabbed and has the worst cough in the world (after a weeks of all of the signs of covid she has tested positive for antibodies) meanwhile I have not even had so much as a sore throat.

I tested positive 15 months ago. Why do I need to be vaccinated?

FWIW I plan on getting the next redesigned booster but for now I see no reason to sign up
> when parsing C# and adding a single opening bracket at the beginning of the file, I doubt namespace/class declarations stay namespace/class declarations

It really depends on how you parse. In VS, at least, this works, in a sense that, while the resulting code is invalid, the editor can still correctly semantically highlight it, and provide code completions etc.

Questionable if it was ever really open source, more like "source available". The author has nor removed the source from the repo.

Most recent public fork I found is now mirrored here: https://github.com/3nprob/Amplosion

> Safari extensions require your permission to run, so in the interest of transparency I wanted to make the app completely open source.

[...]

> License: This is open source in the interest of transparency, and I hope this doesn't need to be said but please don't take this as an opportunity to reupload the code and call it your own. This is the equivalent to the GitHub "No License", so you're more than welcome to inspect the code and audit it, but you do not have permission to repurpose it as your own.
For ampie you can just get its source, modify the manifest file, and build it yourself, no need to bother with repackaging: https://github.com/posobin/ampie

You can see the actual permissions that ampie needs here: https://github.com/posobin/ampie/blob/master/build/manifest....

webNavigation together with tabs is needed to detect page URL changes correctly and update the sidebar (I don't remember exactly, but I think the main problem were pages that use history api to update the URL), storage is for localStorage to store extension settings, cookies to read/change cookies (limited to "https://ampie.s3.amazonaws.com/", "https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/", "https://*.ampie.app/", to be able to get your auth token for ampie not to log in twice), unlimitedStorage was used previously because the caches of links stored were much more than the 5mb that is the default indexedDB limit. The caches are not used anymore, but I kept the permission so far because I am thinking of adding functionality for storing and visualizing your browsing history.

I am not sure what you would want to disable here.

If an extension includes content script that runs on all websites, then it can't avoid having the "read and change all your data on all websites": content script is JS code from an extension that runs on web pages, it can access the DOM and send requests. Ampie needs to run the content script on all pages to be able to add the sidebar. The other option is to run the content script on clicking the extension icon: as I mentioned elsewhere, while this approach might sound appealing in theory, the extension turns out to be much less useful this way as you simply forget/don't bother to click it and miss out on some interesting discussions.
I believe these people generally get asked to join company boards due to their network. In a way these people function as lobbyists of the company.

>>>I'm saying that calling it the "Chinese flu" and combining it with Trump's nationalist rhetoric and other outright racist remarks is racism, yes.

That's moving the goalposts. We were discussing the government act of implementing travel restrictions, as a policy. Rather than debate whether that is sound policy, you've retorted with "well he also said racist stuff...which is racist". This is why we can't make progress. Rather than address individual implementations on their own merits, all too often people are now lumping everything originating from the same decision-maker together and discarding the whole package.

>>>And what is the point of stopping flights from China only? When there were global outbreaks?

Because at the time (31 Jan 2020), ALL 210+ fatalities had travelled to China:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2020/01/31/trump-we...

There was no spontaneous, independent outbreak of COVID appearing contemporaneously in Italy or the UK. A complete international travel ban probably WOULD have been the best idea (along with 90 days of Wuhan-style internal lockdowns). Short of that, a ban on the source nation of (again, at that time) 100% of the fatal cases seems like an appropriate compromise to not completely collapse confidence in the steady trajectory of the US & global economy.

>>>"Obama did it too" is not an argument.

It establishes precedent. Both for the policy itself, and that the deafening lack of "Racism!" criticism as proof of the hypocrisy inherent in the accusers today.
>there is talk about implementing it in the spec, I hope it gets accepted

How can there be talk of implementing anything in the spec, when the spec was designed with the explicit intent of never being updated?
Ah, a new version of the 'nothing to hide' argument. Thanks.
I think I'm asking the inverse question - instead of having a known-good datum, given the fact that Pi isn't random, I wonder what coincidentally you could stumble onto, given a broad enough heuristic to "discover" interesting sequences.
Science is useful and has its own epistomology ... but it is also not the only epistomology. It's commonly assumed that science is capable of learning anything and everything, but I think science, while useful in many context, is itself limited.

Maybe someone will surprise me, but there are matters of consciousness, sentience, sapience, awareness that I have doubts the scientific method will ever come to understand.

For me, exclusively using science to understand everything is as foolish as completely denying science ... but I also get that each person are navigating through life in their own way.
Because frankly a lot of us didn't know about it. Not everyone is aware of the same things. Some of us think that powering off a device should power it off.
This is completely irrelevant to the point I was making: arguments about how America "isn't dense enough" for rail is ignoring the fact that America actually is quite dense ... where Americans actually live. Our tenth densest state is denser than a country famous for its usage of high speed rail for passenger transit. Any difference in infrastructure is down to political choices, not density.
People who attended the 06Jan rally and were not even on the Capitol grounds had their phones tracked. Some of them got a SWAT visit in the wee hours weeks later.

It’s not so far fetched.

I’ll also mention that Ćhina will find this new feature very helpful and are no doubt grateful.
Suppose that:

1. The China travel ban started when China had very few COVID cases.

2. The China travel ban started when we already had untraceable domestic spread in the US.

3. The EU travel ban started when the EU had a lot of COVID cases.

If those three things happened (#1 and #3 happened without a doubt, jury's still out on #2, because our contact tracing has been crap), it's possible for both of the statements you are quoting to be true. There's literally no point in banning travel from China, if Paris has 10x the prevalence of COVID, and you haven't banned travel from it.

Considering that the first major outbreak in the US was caused by travelers from the EU, it seems pretty clear that banning travel form China, but not from Europe didn't do much to keep COVID out of the US.

Why were European travelers being treated preferentially to Chinese ones, for over a month? I see a lot of people insisting that the travel ban wasn't racist, but I've never seen anyone explain this conundrum.
fwiw I’ve lied about passion (for their mission) at every company I worked at until I could qualify as an accredited investor via income test and buy preferred shares in any company instead of earning common stock gambles over years at whichever silly startup hired me

I was passionate about specific frameworks, corroborable years of experience, and making sure I occassionally had at least 2 years of experience at one place

But I would lie about my interest in their mission or whatever these culty developer daycares were up to, for the compensation boost and sustaining that.

(Yes I eventually got lawyers and CPAs to validate my accredited investor status, and eventually learned what “self certification” really meant)

It was super strange to me that feigning passion was the gatekeeper instead of simple work integrity.

Anyway it worked. Priorities. If I was a betting man - which I am - I’d bet you’ve run into people like me.

I had no idea you could drive 60fps animations in the terminal. How’s that even possible? I only had limited experience with curses ages ago. Is he just spewing control characters crazy fast and the terminal is keeping up fine?

Anyway, this guy is a genius and I hope the funding goes well. His other projects look amazing as well.

If I were a betting man, I’d wager the browser is the minimum common denominator, not the terminal. But I’d like to live in such a world.

While joining a FAANG in the past was most likely the richest path, that may not be true today.
people have suggested similar ideas in the past. but we ended up going back to a mix of html and javascript (or typescript). again and again.

why we keep going back to html and transpiled javascript to solve web UI is perhaps what we need to figure out.

there was a framework that made an impressive demo a few years back. that was before react became popular. i remember the presenter on stage showing a demo of a html canvas-based UI running at 30 frames per seconds. no idea what became of that framework or project.
This is the usual arrangement in functional programming languages - ML, Haskell etc all use juxtaposition to denote function application.

If you want something along these lines, but a bit closer to mainstream, with easy access to popular libraries etc, that would probably be F#.
