I don't think it is culture or at least not the permanent kind. Asia has plenty of crime. Quite severe crime, and organized crime, and personal crime. From what I've heard large Chinese cities used to have a lot more crime. You can still see the bars on the windows of older buildings.

Just like it is hard to understand that these large cities are generally safe it is also hard to understand the amount of development that has happened. By now most would have probably heard the stories or seen the pictures of things like changing skylines. But it's different when you go there. Almost every year there is one or more projects completed that would have taken 10 or 20 years in western countries. And not just shopping malls but projects that actually do something.

It's really hard to pessimistic with that kind of change despite being faced with a very real reality everyday. We used to speculate that China might be the best country to be born in today. Because it would take ~20+ years until you enter the workforce. And if the next 20 years are like the past 20 years you could do really well. That outlook has of course dimmed a bit since then.

What I'm trying to say it that when people believe things will get better they don't want to give up their future. When things stagnant or getting worse people are hopeless they feel like they have nothing to lose. Crime seems to be factor of that. Maybe just not to those ending up committing the crimes but for everyone else as well.

It's not surprising to me that some crimes and social unrest is on the rise in supposedly prosperous countries when everything is getting expensive, opportunities are getting harder to come by and those opportunities you do have count for less. If those at the top of society all act like there is no tomorrow, or that tomorrow doesn't matter, we shouldn't expect those at the bottom to act any differently. I can agree that this sort of culture, the one of acts and impressions, makes a huge difference.

I do. I’m trying to transition out of development and into management. The last thing I want to do is leave behind the place I’ve called home for the last 10 years, abandoning all the headaches from the language’s subtleties in the process. I’m proficient in enough and have contributed (reasonably) to production-level systems in many, but that doesn’t mean I enjoyed them as much as I do my mainstay.

They're doing exactly what Twitter and Instagram do. They don't like people using their own automation because the companies either offer automation products themselves, or they have lucrative partnerships with companies that have exclusive API access to their platforms, who then go on to sell automation capabilities to users.

There's no technical reason users can't automate how they use the services, and the security angle is an afterthought. The reason user automation is banned is because it might impact these companies' revenue streams.
As cool as some of these cyberdecks are I can't help but find it hilarious that people are shoving RPIs into pelican cases.. It'd be way cooler to have this kind of tool built to look like a regular household item... Like have it do all that cool shit and make it look less like a bomb.

Agreed.

I wonder what's driving the upsurge? It's the same in the UK too.

I remember being at a park party a few months ago with some fellow 20-25 year olds; I suggested turning the music down, but it took the police to kindly ask for the request to be heeded. What astonished me was that the 20 something girls were indignant at the police's request, as if their human rights were violated.
It's clearly very hard for folks who have come to rely upon their workplace as their venue for social interaction, and their co-worker pool as their source for social relationships. But to be clear, once upon a time (back in the long long ago), it was seen as unhealthy to mix your work relationships and your personal friendships. So it's possible for all of us to learn how to develop relationships and friendships that don't rely upon the forced proximity of an office. Things like shared activities, social organizations, etc are a good starting point.

Apart from getting asked the same questions, the other parts are quite common in the industry. I mean, some places might move you around a bit between rooms, but literally every job interview I've had over the last 25 years has been essentially 4-6 hours of tag team wrestling with coding/systems/personality questions.

Note that Rust's safety proposition is different than Go's in a way that's significant for Linux beyond the obvious.

(Safe) Rust is Data Race Free. You can mistakenly write a data race in Go, just as you could in C, and, even though under normal circumstances Go feels like it's memory safe, once you've got a data race all bets are off and you potentially no longer have memory safety. In (safe) Rust you can't write a data race, so, this can't happen.

If you write simple serial programs, you don't care, your programs never have data races because they have no concurrency and therefore can't possibly have concurrent memory writes. But obviously Linux is not a serial program.
IMHO "open source" is not the right term for this because, besides sounding like it was created by people with a software-centric view, it legitimises the application of Imaginary Property laws to physical objects --- something that is a relatively recent phenomenon and one that I think should not continue. Perhaps "open design" or similar would be more representative of the intent.

For example, the automotive aftermarket is so prolific and complete that you can build an entire stereotypical mid-century car with entirely aftermarket parts, but I wouldn't call that "open source". People have also been making tractors out of car parts for a long time (there are some old magazines with plans for such), as well as fixing heavy equipment by making their own parts --- look at various YouTube channels for examples; and I don't think any of this is comparable, nor should it be, to the quagmire of IP laws that the software world is subjected to.

tl;dr: Good intent, bad naming and perhaps some ignorance of how the physical hardware world operates.

I think it depends on 2 important factors: age and the team. At early age you like to go out for drinks, later you may want to go home and rest or read or take a bicycle ride or spend time with the family. Also it depends a lot on the team you are in: I worked with teams where we spent a lot of time together outside business hours and I was in teams where I avoided even seeing most people, by no means spending any time together.
I think this is exactly why the post was written. Aaron isn't saying that YC has a great pro-rata program. I took his writing as stating that he thinks it needs to be reconsidered, and that it is bad as it currently stands.

You can find preprints from Pearl online or even some presentations that cover these definitions. His books
as well.

I don't know how this applies to the work by the economists. I think Gelman at Columbia talks about Pearl and SCMs and the whole thing.

This is not a failure of remote work. :)

When you work remotely you have to be very deliberate with socialization as well, since you don't get that for free when you're not in the office.

I've been remote for 10+ years and I can assure you that this side of things is harder and you have to take deliberate steps to build socialization into your schedule. I do this with tech meetups, board games and cycling specifically using Meetup to attend events.
My personal peeve is when people do this at the beach. (Including my friends!) Like, you have headphones. You can enjoy your music. A big part of the fun, for me, is hearing the water and gulls and sand and waves.
Governments the world over are surveiling you without your consent right now. How could you possibly trust them? Centralized economic systems are nothing but yet another state surveillance apparatus. People think it is normal for the state to demand complete identification data on every person businesses transact with. It sacrifices our privacy yet fails to prevent crime. No amount of crime justifies this.

We need decentralized currencies with strong privacy guarantees. There must be so many nodes in operation no single government on earth has any hope of stopping the processing of transactions. Currencies must exist independently of governments, especially their monetary policies. It must be mathematically impossible for them to trace anything. Only then will people be free.

Notably Sweden introduced a number of restrictions after that first wave. For instance, GGP is right that restaurants weren't closed down...but they couldn't be full, your party had to be small, and you wouldn't be there at night.
If your theory about the deaths being in nursing homes were true, we wouldn't have seen excess deaths in 2020 in age groups under 75.

That was not the case[1]. Even 50-year-olds in Sweden had a spike of deaths in 2020.

Norwegians were locked down and seem to be fine. They're not dead, at least.

Please be aware that Amazon will insist on a non-competition agreement. Depending on your seniority level and whether such agreements are enforceable in your jurisdiction, there is a high chance that this will limit your opportunities after you leave Amazon. Don't overlook this aspect when evaluating offers.

This is an example of how this interferes with the career of a very senior executive: https://www.geekwire.com/2021/microsoft-standoff-amazon-big-... However, this problem also affects junior engineers, more junior than you may think.
They have social media presence, not a lot, they do more in China by far then Europe or the US. Their bloging is not very active. People working at Tesla almost never show up and do media.

Its basically impossible to get anybody but Elon for anything. And getting Elon is not very easy.

The amount of times I have heard long form interviews with anybody from Tesla is vanishingly small. The 'infuencer' mostly do this stuff by themselves. In fact, many of the even pro Tesla people are kind not very happy about not having even a basic PR team.

Car journalist usually get premium service and get the best spec version of each car delivered to their house. With Tesla, they literally can't even call anybody. If you review a Tesla you have to figure out yourself how to get it.

Car journalist regularly get flown across the country, given special tours access to engineers and much more. Tesla ignores them almost completely. A lot of journalist still send to Tesla for comment and most have not heard back in years.

Musk is just Musk, I mean, he would be doing what is doing anyway, and not really some calculated marketing. I mean he is more active in terms of talking about SpaceX. And SpaceX doesn't need social media marketing. And there is no team at Tesla, managing his twitter.

They have axed the referral program as well, for anything other then solar roofs.

The most expensive marketing they do is the occasional presentations like 'Autonomy Day', 'Battery Day' and 'AI Day' but you are lucky to get one ever year.

I think its fair to say that the overall money spent by Tesla on Marketing and PR is almost vanishingly small. There are single product marketing campaigns for individual cars that are more elaborate by far. Basically one guy making jokes on twitter and a few social media manager.

Hyundai is running adds with the whole lineup of marvel character and some actors from the films. And those licenses and actors don't come cheap. And airing them during prime time football is expensive. So the ads for that car in the US alone is probably way more then Tesla spends overall.
The latest corporate fantasy: Let's save money on rent and office equipment and make up some gobbledygook about how it's good for creativity and dynamism or something.

This is also disingenuous. For decades before Apple entered the scene, distributed package management was the norm and perfectly functional (while also completely free and transparent to maintain). When Apple came in, they threw away a perfectly functional system because it didn't make enough money, and then replaced it with their own flawed approach that's starting to melt before our very eyes. It's not an "us vs them" situation like you're painting it out to be, it's a "humanity vs extortion" scenario where Apple is most definitely not fighting alongside humanity.

If Apple's system were really as good as you claim, it would be a monopoly on it's own merit alongside alternative stores. However, without the opportunity to exercise such a theory, we simply have to assume the worst (or prepare to be proven wrong).
It sounds like you're saying that work can't be collaborative without people interrupting each other with no warning, but that isn't my experience at all—my experience has been that the most collaborative work happens when people are intentional about how and when they communicate, which seems easier to encourage in a remote setting.
It is all relative. In comparison with the other FANG companies, the people that I know told me Amazon has worse work-life balance and a more stressing environment, but it can be fine versus other companies outside the FAANG group, especially with the top compensation you get for that.
Yep, odd is probably the wrong word, I just find the specific transferability term egregious.
Yeah I agree it is helpful to be close to a large city, but unfortunately for me it isn't the right city for most tech companies! I am also closer to the east coast, so less convenient for Seattle or SF.
Complexity of the food source is key.
The same amount of calories in sugar, olive oil, meat or chickpeas result in completely different absorption rates in the gut.
While sugar will be immediately dumped to the blood stream, chickpeas will take hours to digest until all the sugars become accessible.
The body needs to expend calories to access the calories in food high in fiber.
Don’t forget about the varying responses of your gut microbiome to different foods. Some calories are easier to access for your body, because your gut microbiome has been inherited/adapted to them since early childhood.
Some foods trigger a strong sugar spike in one person, while it does nothing in the next.

It’s way more complex than the simple equation of calories in = calories out.
Can I ask which country you live in and what type of place you go to meet people these days?
The problem is that this solution isn't even close to being realistic. 28HP engines are not created equal and this engine isn't anything like the old 28HP engines from tractors of yesteryear. The tires are wrong, hydraulic drive is wrong, no PTO yet, etc. Bolting tube together on a moving machine like this, WTF. The tube works free over time as it collapses which will cause play and egging of the holes. This is completely wrong. They need to go back and study the tractors built in the late 30s and early 40s and copy those. This is nothing but a mess. Are any of these people mechanical engineers who have built Ag equipment?
I tried setting it up on a VPS on Ubuntu the other day, got it installed after doing some config files, connected to the tunnel, could access the server but not the wider Internet. Made about 4-5 config changes per a bunch of Stackoverflow posts then gave up since nothing worked.

Installed OpenVPN instead, took me 2 minutes and worked immediately with far fewer config files changes.

I've had this experience before with Wireguard as well. People keep saying how easy it is and in my experience... it simply isn't.

OpenVPN has a lot of BS overhead and I'd be more than pleased to move off of it. But WG hasn't been simple for a common use case - install on Ubuntu VPS, client on Windows.
ryanobjc: > Turns out getting a teacher cred is a little bit more than "just" getting a undergrad, and has ongoing licensing requirements.

Plenty of occupations as a class or specific jobs have education, certification and licensing requirements. Teaching is not an outlier in that regard. The barber is just one example of a mundane ongoing requirement.

When do educators fulfill their CE credits? My guess is whenever they want as long as it happens on time. They can be grown ups like the rest of the world, conduct their business and move on.

What percentage of teachers have a Master's degree? If it isn't a job requirement, why would it matter? If there are excess numbers of people holding Masters degrees and they work in occupations not requiring a Masters degree, that is a problem between them and their granting institution's accreditation body.

The smart accreditation bodies restrict supply in order to optimize the workforce size and skillset to demand. The nonselective ones that produce skills in excess of demand are essentially diploma mills or vanity projects. At best they make entry into non-Masters degree fields harder for those without the resources to obtain a Masters. At worst they wind up being a giant economic drag through student debt that won't ever match income expectations.
The problem is that actix-web (at the time, at least) was also quite benchmark-oriented -- it was doing a lot of things you don't necessarily want to do in production in order to get better benchmarks.

And that was especially true of the benchmark code itself.

TechEmpower's methodology, additionally, is not perfect. IIRC they support HTTP 1.0 only, which is not what most modern servers are focusing on, but actix-web did.
I priced out BCS and Grillo units when I first moved here and in the end ended up getting a subcompact hydrostatic tractor and it frankly has probably worked out better for me (6.5 acre property ... 1/2 acre vineyard/orchard, 1/2 acre garlic + market garden veggies).

It's likely because the importation of the BCS units into Canada just ends up making them and the attachments quite expensive. If I was in Europe, or even the US, I think they'd be more cost effective.

The tractor + loader ended up being a more useful overall implement because the loader is just invaluable on a rural property generally. So many things made easier by being able to move around heavy loads. And snow clearance with a 70" snowblower is an entirely different story than walking behind a 30" one. I used to have Gravely walk behind with a snowblower on it and my back suffered for it.

I have 3ph rototiller, snowblower, rotary mower, posthole auger, toolbar with discs, s-tines, wood chipper, and single bottom plow. And access to a bunch of other stuff from the neighbours. All of those things would be potentially cheaper for a BCS unit, but much harder to get, and less powerful. The used market for standard 3ph attachments is much easier to deal with rather than the niche walk-behind stuff.

On the lower end I use a wheel hoe. And I'm currently working on restoring and electrifying an old planet jr unit.

The BCS and Grillo units are really neat. But the small farm market isn't big enough for them here to get proper dealer support, used equipment supply, and deal with the importation issues. All of the neat attachments weren't available to me without dealing with Earth Tools in the US, with all the brokerage and customs and shippings issues that would come with that.
My impression is that radio taiso is quite a bit tamer than dancing grannies. The former is usually mellow with slower tempos and relaxing uplifting vibes and it's really meant to be something for all ages; the latter is closer to electronic/club music, with faster tempos, and more aggressive beats (and yes, it's quite a bit louder too).

In my experience, radio taiso also inherits a lot of the japanese polite culture. When I was young, my experience was that radio taiso always took consideration of surroundings: it was always in a designated space and time (e.g. the school gymnasium before class), whereas my experience w/ dancing grannies is that they just kinda make a habit of showing up at privately owned public spaces (e.g. malls) early enough in the morning and in a large enough group of people that security guards don't want to bother dealing with them.
Nothing against your son, but at 9, you don't know much about the world.

If you're an adult and you don't think the world is messed up, you need to learn more about the world.

MP4 Inspector (Windows)

The MP4 format is fundamentally pretty easy, at least the box structure. But there have been so many standards that overlap that the MP4 format is also really messy. Aaand you need to pay to get access to the specs of the format..
I was perfectly happy with being underpaid until I had a CV with enough experience on it to get a better paid job, and because I was cheap they let me do a lot of experimenting and learning.

Mutually advantageous overall :D
Software is simultaneously in "high demand" and continually in a state of lay offs, unemployment, and unhirable students. If you were lucky in the 2010's, sure, but dev work is increasingly exported and those safe and comfy don't have to worry about it so they don't look at what's going on.
If I may, what industry do you work in that needs this level of collaboration and such a quick turnaround on it?

I agree with you that it can be nice. But in thinking back on my career, I’ve never been in an industry that needed it (beyond dealing with operational events).

This trend seems to extend to the UK too. To be honest, I don't mind it in open public spaces likes parks and such. I mostly travel on the London underground though, which is cramped place at the best of times, and a frankly ridiculous amount of people have recently started listening to music through their loudspeaker on full volume.

The most baffling part is it's often people on their own, not in groups. Every time I think to myself that now might be the time to pull out the old homemade EMP gun and take it for a spin.
