I feel like a hybrid approach is the worse of all options. One will have to context switch and manage two work environments. It is fully WFH or on-site for me and I'd chose WFH out of the two.

Your reply does not follow based on the original comment. An app that generated millions to Apple made multiple millions in revenue from users that found it useful.

There is nothing Apple needs to do to 'protect' you: people are buying the app, it's probably doing something well.

Apple is just milking the developer.

> where a and b are int values, the compiler would emit an ADD instruction in assembly. This isn't necessarily true anymore, because compilers are allowed to assume that signed overflow doesn't happen, which makes writing correct overflow-detection so difficult and non-intuitive.

it's the exact opposite - if you want your compiler to just emit an ADD no matter which platform you are on, then it cannot be the language that defines the semantics of "+" in the corner cases (thus UB). If you define it as overflow on 2's complement, then on a DSP with saturating arithmetic your compiler will have to emit additional instructions to detect if you are saturating and wrap instead.
YAML has all of the problems of JSON with some of the problems of XML, and some new ones thrown in. Avoid.
Productivity has also appeared to increase with remote work (at least at my job), yet I keep seeing articles from high-profile CEOs on how remote work is bad for business. I'm not quite sure where all the resistance to remote work is coming from.
In that case, I’d suggest either paying someone to backport the fix and offer it to the distro, or rolling your own repo with your package and a minimal set of dependencies (the more minimal, the better) and live with your almost-distro. The beauty of open source is that you can always work your way out of a situation.

Conversely in Amazon's case, they finished building multiple huge buildings in downtown Seattle right before COVID-19, which have been mostly empty since March 2020.
> How are mentioned three inferior to Clojure and Clojurescript?

They are not lisps :)

> What if you need performance

Choose a lisp that gives you performance. Clojure gets you about 80% on the way there, for the rest you can use Common Lisp if you really require performance. I've found that Clojure usually does the trick if you optimize it a bit.

> Or even a community at all

Clojure does have a community, not sure what you mean? There are forums, chats, Q&A sites, blogs, people on Twitter.

> libraries and support?

Plenty of battle-tested libraries with stable APIs, and loads of companies that offer Clojure support (not to mention the great public community that can also help with most if not all questions).

Have you actually used Clojure in any capacity? These points seems to be coming from someone who haven't actually tried to get involved.
I've actually found that there are a lot of BIG companies now that will do a take-home "task" which are usually pretty easy to accomplish. They are wanting to make sure you can program something, not memorize leetcode interview questions.

A buddy of mine showed me a take home task from one of the FAANGs that was a 3 hour task, that would literally take only 30 minutes for most mid-level developers.

So hopefully that means that programmer interviews with leetcode and a bunch of algorithm-centric questions are becoming less and less popular.
YouTube is super explicit about this, and they even "manage up" in the same way that an employee might handle a manager who wants everything to be the first priority: by maintaining a priority list on the top to couple the action of promoting something to 1st priority to the action of demoting other priorities.

So where were the males? Embarrassingly, Darwin had nearly thrown them away. He’d been finding little tick-like things attached to Ms. Arthrobalanus—parasites, he assumed. So he picked them off. In reality, these “ticks” were the menfolk. They were ten times smaller than the females and consisted of nothing but sacs of sperms. All other body parts on the males, such as stomachs and heads, had been whittled away by evolution.

How can demands for equality between the sexes in general be justified when gross inequalities can be such useful fitness strategies? If our species were made more fit by men evolving into small sacks that women attach to themselves like jewelry, then that practice would be both unequal and ethical.

No banners are needed. They are required when you start tracking your users because that when you need their consent to do so. And that's quite proper.
>second is taxes - if you stay somewhere long enough they might argue you need to pay income tax there

This is true even if you work a single day in a state. Consultants at Accenture, PWC, Bain etc. end up having to file in dozens of states a year sometimes. Fortunately their employer almost universally handles all the paperwork.
I think most of the people who spam the macro are Emacs Lisp and CL users, so while in the Emacs case they might not understand modern software ecosystem interoperability, they definitely understand deep software ecosystems.

>>What's the argument here? If you don't want to get vaxxed, then don't use public resources. Not sure how this is a flawed argument

What are you considering public resources here? I am fine with an employer on their own requiring a mandate as a condition of employment, I am even fine with a business requiring vaccine before they provide services. I am not fine with government requiring these businesses to do this

Do you see the difference? I am not talking about "public resources" I am talking about the government interfering with private business transactions.

It does follow a client/server model so your server asks like a proxy/BNC while your client(s) connect(s) to your server.
It's easier to figure out what calls what and the maximum stack depth of some or all of the program. Trying to track maximum usage based on allocations is a lot harder, especially when you have to deal with fragmentation.
There is a Swedish sketch about probability and Nuclear power, it's written by a master of the form so the translation will not live up to the original. Still I do believe it reflects what experience tells us about "nearly bulletproof" in regards to fission.

> How disorganised does a team need to be that they need to call meetings so involved they can only be done in-person with less than 24 hour’s notice?

I've put similar bounds on WFH hires before. Not because we were calling short-notice meetings frequently, but because it prevents single, long-distance employees from dominating all of the scheduling requirements.

Once you have someone on your team who needs a lot of notice to attend any meeting, you are now planning every single meeting around their schedule. Everyone else must choose between accommodating that person or quietly doing the thing without them. It's ultimately not a great experience for the employee who gets left out of things because their schedule has become difficult to accomodate.

It also sets appropriate expectations. Some people interview for flexible WFH positions when they really want full-remote positions, then spend a lot of energy trying to shut down any in-person meetings no matter how much the rest of the team wants them. This is a good way of signaling that in-person meetings are a requirement for the job.

Hello! I'm in my fourth and final year of my Computer Science degree and I'm looking for employment post graduation. I chose to specialize in Systems for my degree, and have taken many classes relating to low-level machine programming, including embedded systems, operating systems, and compilers. I'm open to any and all opportunities but am mostly interested in backend/API/systems jobs. Thanks!
Is going to the office a broken way of working?
I dont find it weird, just mildly disturbing having to sift through.

Still worth it.
It should be labelled both as "green" and as "renewable" as well - it's just as renewable as e.g. solar (a.k.a. "sky nuclear").
Would love to know if they believe that 'unquestionable human right' extends to all the service workers that tend to their daily life by making and delivering their food, transporting them to/from entertainment, packing and delivering their toys/consumer goods, etc. too.
> I reject jobs that are requiring me to work with inferior languages and ecosystems like Rust, Go or JavaScript. It's simply not worth the frustration anymore.

Interesting! I wasn't aware that there was an objective set of criteria by which programming languages could be measured, and judgments like "inferior" or "superior" delivered. Can you link to it? I'm hugely intrigued and want to learn more.
>> Human Rights are special things

Very true and my point would have been made without me presenting it as such. My apologies.
How is Go an inferior language? You took some crazy pills this morning buddy.

If you read on, you'll eventually find out just why it's narrated the way it is. You're correct in that it's clearly metaphorical - but that actually has a compelling in-story explanation, and it is a major factor later in the plot.

A (hopefully) non-spoiler TL;DR is that this has to do with how our perception of others affects our ability to humanize or dehumanize them. In fact, there's one scene near the end where this metaphorical narration is intentionally and explicitly contrasted with the actual appearance of the Spiders and their world.
You mean they are doing what

Of course they are.

We are very fortunate to be paid as much as we are for sitting at home and working on a computer. Compared to 99% of other adults around the world, we are spoiled.
No. I'm not an education policy wonk.

(Plus, I don't see how the answer is not "yes". If we pay enough for a 1:5 teacher:student ratio then we'll almost certainly get better educational outcomes, yes? Which means I don't understand your question.)

I'm only pointing out what I believe are large methodological weaknesses in your earlier comment.

I think it's hilarious, personally, and I'd disagree that the two are meaningfully distinct.

Acting like any language that makes use of parentheses is a Lisp is similar to the Diogenes plucked chicken allegory. There are a lot of ways in which Clojure clucks like a chicken, to put it in terms of the metaphor. There is definitely room for a debate.

It's like calling Postscript meaningfully a Forth just because the syntax is superficially the same. There's certainly someone in this thread who could give a good thousand word comment on that.
Thanks for your feedback! Caribou tracks files that match specific custom rules that you set. So you will need to set the rules to match the ‘tech debt’ in your codebase. Once you set these rules, Caribou will track the decrease/increase of this tech debt and who is contributing to this decrease/increase.

For example, you are using a deprecated library in your codebase and you need migrate it to another library. The old library is considered tech debt. You can set a rule to monitor the usages of the old library in your codebase. As your team starts migrating from the old library to the new library, Caribou will detect these changes and will show you the progress in the dashboard together with information on who is contributing to this improvement.

Does this make sense?
Having grown up in the Cold War with the threat of MAD and the waste products from reactors, I do understand the hesitation of nuclear power.

But, in a more practical world, there’s not much of a choice if we want an energy source that’s not killing us by air pollution. In the other hand, we seem to be yet again passing the problem onto future generations. Perhaps they’ll have the science to resolve nuclear waste but there’s no guarantee.

At the end of the day, we’re currently consuming too much for the technology we have versus the population of the planet wrt to our biosphere.

There are a few obvious fixes but none are palatable.
> In a well organized program, usually you would not need much stack space

But that's only because stack space is currently limited. If stack space were as unlimited as heap space then there would be absolutely nothing wrong with using as much stack space as you wanted. It would be better even - stack space is much quicker to allocate and free than heap space.
> the funerals you missed for a biz dev meeting that went nowhere

I assume you were a CEO and you chose a biz dev meeting over a funeral. No, several funerals in fact.

In that case, that fucking sucks. I'm sorry for your loss.

But, in your words:

> I have a real problem with anyone who takes very optional and voluntary hardships on and complains they're hard

Sounds like you're angry because he made the same decision - to choose work over the other thing. And to then be unhappy about it.
That makes sense. I was sort of thinking there’s likely something similar with regard to selling national secrets.
> I think the real problem is a type of FOMO: People are afraid to remove any connections they've established, lest they miss something important.

Good point. That's why making it automated would be even better. Avoids the Larry David moment the author mentions.
It's not that I disagree, but I think you'll find that trend has followed campaigns in general, not just the internet.

The arguments have gone from inspiring, generic, and slogan-esque to cynical, underhanded, and accusatory. Birtherism was definitely a thing in 2008. In 2004 America had the swiftboating crap.

Yea, the internet probably bolsters the spread of crap like that, but it's nothing new.

It's not so much that I don't see the change occurring in front of us. I just think people have incorrectly identified the cause of that change.

They think they are upset because Facebook has so much power over what people see and read and engage with. In reality they are upset that people are reading and engaging with wrongthink. It's a kind of self delusion because they (we?) cannot admit that we are opposed to free speech.

Supposing that Obama did use the internet like today--spreading suspicion and pessimism, calls to imprison his opponents: do you think the same people hailing Facebook as democracy's kryptonite would say that? I don't think so. I think they would praise the platform for 'illuminating Bush's war crimes' and 'giving a voice to the silent'.

No, I cant get inside people's heads and prove it... But after seeing these arguments for 5 years I am pretty sure it's true.
So the many many videos of teachers talking about all the things they do in class rooms, statements from the NEA, recording taken from the Remote Learning classrooms are not evidence?

Remember that is what started all of this, at the start of COVID both parents and students where home at the same time, and many parents started to observe their childs lessons in real time since they were conducted via remote learning.

This is what got the ball rolling as parents where shocked and alarmed at what they were hearing with their own ears coming from some of these "teachers"
Ironically its the Greens. One would think theyre false flag paid by coal and petrol corporations.
You missed my point.
With an adversary that sophisticated, the actual method of compromise doesn’t matter. If he had an android the result would have been the same. Or a flip phone, or a landline, or if he lived in a cave.
The other thing to add on is that Amazon is having a hard time recruiting, at least anecdotally from friends who work there. Between their reputation as a company and hot job market, filling some senior level eng roles has become near impossible.
I mean even if it is well defined that doesn’t mean the devs are using the languages native parser library. I’ve encounter at least two projects where the devs rolled their own XML “parser” using regex and “substring” functions. Why? “The xml library was too bloated… much easier to write it ourself”. Suffice to say, they had tons to problems.
"anywhere" is basically inside US, not in other countries.

> The Equitable Math proposal is not this at all.

It is exactly this minus ad hoc grouping, which is the least important and most subject-variable part. It explicitly and repeadtedly calls out the need for individualized opportunity, support, and expectations throughout, and explicitly cites as motivation concrete experience combining de-tracking with differentiated work and open-ended exploration improving performance outcomes for both more and less proficient students.

I don't know if people criticizing it aren't reading it, or if the parts that depart from the industrial-style one-size-fits-all in predefined groups model are so foreign to some people that they are literally incapable of incorporating them into their mental model of the framework despite them being explicit in the text.
Oh hi jjcim. Another cool research project from where I used to work. [0] Back in the day, the development building had a great view of the runway during the Farnborough air show and my pals on the Zephyr project would give me a shout if anything interesting was taking off.

This record was set ~3 months after someone else did it for 50 days.

From an engineering stand point, performance of components or materials are always assumed to be much worse than actual and the forces / conditions they are subject to overestimated, with further factors of safety applied on top. This is how it should be. It also means properly designed things will carry on working better than you expect (on average).

It’s not interesting (to me) from a technological stand point compared to the solar UAV because flying up and down the same road with a truck refuelling you is not useful, and if others (e.g. Military, NASA) could be bothered to do it - they would probably do a better job relatively easily.

To me - It’s the same as building the worlds longest domino trail. You could beat the previous record by 1 million dominos which is neat but.. what have you proven, and why does it matter ?
Is it so? Constituting a quarter of the gdp, Germany doesn't seem to qualify as "the tail".
In my experience, they offset the first 2 years of vesting with cash. So all 4 of my first years were equivalent with RSUs/Cash with the first 2 years cash heavy, and the final 2 years RSU only.
Agreed, circles was conceptually great, just too much work (IIRC) and a bit late to the social network game.
I.e. it's not mechanically hard, but psychologically hard - or even, wait for it, socially.

But that, too, is something which a platform's UX design can influence to some degree.
It's a good idea, in principle. But according to the sources I could find, to get enough gravitational potential energy to equal the electrical capacity of Zephyr's batteries, you'd have to lift the entire craft by about 70km.

https://www.aviationpros.com/engines-components/aircraft-air...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_Zephyr

I can imagine you'd want to take advantage of gravity to a certain extent, but it seems a bit tricky to estimate how much. Presumably there's a particular altitude at which the aircraft's overall efficiency is at a maximum. Deviating from this altitude allows you to store a bit of extra energy (which means you can get away with a smaller battery) but you don't want to deviate too far, or you'll lose more energy to various inefficiencies than you're saving. And you probably need to keep some electrical reserve power anyway, in order to be able to actively navigate away from unfavorable winds.
