>> USA has this strange notion where they group people by skin color and call that race

>No, we don’t. (There's two races where one of the common, not-generally-offensive names for each refers to a color, but people identified and identifying with each of those races have a wide range of skin colors, overlapping with those of most other races in both cases.)

Correct, most people do not believe that skin color define them or their neighbor. The notion also generally does not make much sense, as Americans are incredibly racially mixed.

However, a very aggressive and powerful minority that believe in critical social justice are enforcing racial stereotypes.

To say you are defined by race is a bit like saying you are defined by nose size. It is an arbitrary trait amongst many.

>> and assume same skin color has same culture.

>No, we generally don’t.

That is the Coinbase CEOs experience. People generally falsify preferences in public in order to not offend any Critical Social Justice activist that may ruin their life for saying the wrong thing.

However, generally Americans are friendly and welcoming people that just want to live a good simple family life next to good neighbors of any creed.
Yes, that would be very interesting. To "spatialize" all this knowledge and edutainment into something even more immersive, fun and social. Just having a simple VR/AR image-gallery viewing mode for the Wikipedia article images would already be a useful start, then just keep going from there with more "spatializing" components. If someone wants to help create such an image-gallery viewer for Conzept in eg. A-Frame let me know (can be an opensource web-component project which gets embedded). For full spatialization there would need to be some Conzept API I think.
> changes Apple made to Webkit that actually slightly cripples adblockers, like uBlock, from working effectively on it

We already did that, uBlock Origin works on top of WebKit in Orion.

Also, Orion is zero-telemetry by default to address your other concern. Fire up a network proxy when using Orion and you will be welcomed with a wall of silence.
I had a manager who tried to cancel my vacation the day I was at the airport for the flight. I had given advance notice, and they agreed to it, especially when my vacation days have been maxed out for months. Obviously I went for it anyway, and left the team as soon as I come back.
Different priorities I guess. Personally I’m exchanging my time for money and would like to know what kind of a deal I’m getting. I’m too old for all the fluff bullshit.

Yes yes yes I’m sure you’re changing the world and creating super exciting CRUD
> You know, 10x is an optimistic number here. Some programmers will do in 1 day what you wont achieve in a life time

Exactly. There are many modes of that, and you named a few examples. Another example, company has 2 systems maintained by 10 people each. Someone comes in and figures out how to generalize one of the systems to both cases, so they free up 10 of those programmers to go do something else.

Or - 10 people are beating their head on a problem for months, someone comes along and says "it might be OK if we don't solve that problem, let's move on"

Or - someone figures out that a system/module doesn't need to be written because an out-of-the-box solution exists.

Like, I am not a 10X programmer in the sense that I can write 10X the code of the next guy. But have I prevented 10-people's-worth of wasted effort in my career? Yeah...
Black children were jailed for a crime that doesn’t exist
I remember a friend who wanted to work for apple. He wanted to take time off before he started.

They said "hey, we shutdown anyway during the holidays you can take it then, just start now"

and of course, did he get to take that time off? NO.
If you re-read the comment with the assumption that they were not trying to (mis)represent the author, it still makes sense, so I don't think that was the intention.
Banks tend to have this policy because there are a lot of ways to steel in ways that you can cover your tracks. But most of those ways require regular effort to cover your tracks, so if you are locked out of the office for at least two weeks someone is likely to notice. Note that this is two continuous business weeks. Nothing happens over Christmas so that doesn't count.
If I had to pick one cause, it is google's "bring your whole self to work" policy.
It's a gish gallop through the greatest hits of the antivaxers.

You can still get it so what's the point of vaccination! Fat people! Maybe there are side effects! Vaers! Liberty! Not a proper vaccine!

Whenever one is countered, just swap to the next one, and cycle back to the first when you run out. We've seen all of these before. It's very tiresome and a bit sad.
> "you can technically cover this usecase"

Not just technically: essentially all code covering "this usecase" -- operating peripheral cores -- is today C++ or C code.

It would be more meaningful to say you can technically do it in Rust, because it is possible in principle to do it, even though practically nobody ever has, and vanishingly few ever will.

Everyone who makes up an "embedded subset" congratulates themselves for identifying just the right subset. Then they immediately start moving other stuff over the line. And never stop. This is all familiar ground. All that is new is new people noticing it.

An embedded program in any language that relies on a library function not implemented in its runtime environment will, in any case, fail to link. That is static checking. Rust is not doing more static checking here. It is just doing it sooner, and forbidding a truly enormous amount of what would also be useful to embedded programs. Most of us would rather have access to all of that, and let the linker identify what support is needed for what is used.
Why are women more prone to long Covid?
This is what I came here to say. The encryption prohibition destroys the biggest use case I can see, which is long distance mesh networks. Those networks would represent a leap forward for both HAM radio and for the development of a resilient, grassroots, worldwide communication system.
I would hire them after they got out of jail.
It's especially a stupid way when you don't even have a pen, in the case of DocuSign where you have to write something with a mouse. The vast majority of people just scribble a random shape since its impossible to pen your signature on a trackpad. A Phishermans dream I expect.
I know about PDS2 which is why I specifically bring up the example of Teller. They literally use mobile clients and reverse engineer banking protocols manually then expose them as APIs to their customers.

I support teller in this endeavour.
Great move. The Bay Area "peak" is starting to feel like a long time ago.
Counter-intuitively, this will just entrench the rich even more. A tax that only affects large multinationals will just make it harder to become a large multinational. You'll see a big discontinuity in the graph of corporation size. There will be corporations that are large enough to absorb this tax, and corporations that are too small to qualify for it. The "activation energy" to get across the gap will be significant.
I wouldn't expect anything else, and the article basically confirms the point.

It shows the massive divide between the Twitter world and the real world. Nobody wants real life Twitter.
I understand that I have to bullshit people like you in interviews and pretend to care.
> With the exception of actions that impact others, e.g. DoS, authentication bypass, malicious hacking

It is very easy to DoS by accident with software; and while I’m in favour of totally breaking the economic model of FB in this way, doing so definitely has an impact on others (specifically the Other which is FB itself).
Huh, it must have been coincidental timing with the NPM outage recovering.
> illegal to transmit encrypted data over the air

While a massive restriction, you can prevent interference (but not eavesdropping!) by signing your payloads. Maybe it's because ham radio and privacy aware people is a venn diagram with a lot of overlap, but it feels like perfect being the enemy of good.
The capacity to practice is itself partially innate. Take a person with ADHD - they will naturally have a harder time practicing piano. I myself was unable to practice piano as a child, but for different reasons.
mRNA covid vaccines are, sadly, in a class of their own. Compare with, e.g., polio vaccine:

> Two doses of inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) are 90% effective or more against polio; three doses are 99% to 100% effective.

> It is not known how long people who received IPV will be immune to poliovirus, but they are most likely protected for many years after a complete series of IPV.

> Companies with great policies can sometimes retain employees on that basis alone!

So I recently quit a FAANG and they sent me a COBRA notice with the cost of their insurance benefit. You can get great FAANG insurance for about $10k a year, which is peanuts for a Silicon Valley engineer. We need to dispel the myth that Silicon Valley engineers are working for health insurance.
Are we looking at the same photos here? It's clearly not a green onion. It has a large round bulb on the bottom that's more than two inches wide. Green onions / scallions do not look like that. You can see that in the very image you just linked.
When people talk about the "corporate tax", they're talking about the tax on corporate profits, which belong to the shareholders. You could theoretically tax the shareholders directly instead when they receive those profits as dividends etc (and there might be some advantage to doing so - it's more clear which country taxes should be paid in, and you can have a lower dividend tax rate for people with low incomes).

There's no reason for a company to raise consumer prices in response to a change in the corporate tax rate - if a company can make more profits just by raising prices, they should do so anyway regardless of what the tax rate is.
Spinless Tagless G-Machine is my DJ name and I'm miffed that SPJ and his Glasgow thugs stole it for their intermediate language/abstract machine that Haskell eventually compiles down to.

This seems like it would fall under Anti-SLAPP if taken to actual court.
Something that isn't well covered is the rocket motor supply chain. Prior to SpaceX there hadn't been a US manufacturer for heavy lift booster engines since the 90s. Undoubtedly SpaceX is the recipient of DoD funds to build that supply chain and research pipeline for both missile and lifting purposes.
*over twenty years ago
Paypal actually did this to me for hiring an indonesian kid to sketch a t-shirt design for $50.

Before I clicked send, I verified that Paypal said they'd send the money without charging a fee. He received it, minus the fee they claimed they wouldn't charge. So, I tried to send another $10 to cover the difference and I got torpedoed into some black hole of no return.

Now I can't use paypal to buy anything without submitting a bunch of documentation, which is super weird considering I don't have to send anything like that to use their competitors' services, so it's never going to happen.

I assume it's some sort of regulation they're attempting to follow, but haven't thought through, but who knows? It's definitely costing them money, but maybe not enough to justify improving the UX.
There are undoubtedly developers who are 10x more productive. But I doubt its because they are born smarter. There are developers who are 100x more invested in their work, and only 10x more productive.
Depends how you define “touch” doesn’t it?
It’s not like the atoms have sharp boundaries which fall short of coinciding with the boundaries of other atoms,

what should it even mean to say that they do or don’t touch?

I don’t know much of anything about how smell works. Does it involve quantum mechanics in ways which don’t fall under “chemistry” (with chemistry being an implication of quantum mechanics) ?

I think “has to be understood in terms of quantum mechanics beyond just chemistry” is a reasonable distinction to make, and applies to the way these birds work.
> If you got stock for free because you work for coinbase, does it matter much it went down? I mean it's still around $250 each, that quickly adds up.

That's where the "isn't better than other offers" part comes in. If you get 40K in stock from Coinbase or 40K in stock from Robinhood, and one went up and one didn't...

> citation needed, I mean 'anywhere' is a big space. I'm seeing north of $100K on a quick google, that's a lot more than most places pay.

I'm speaking as compared to the list of stock tickers I listed.

> Or are you speaking from a privileged, SF-blinkered position?

If we're at the point where Coinbase can't hire "privileged" employees and is having to settle for ones who don't have other options, I think that makes my case for me.
It took me almost a decade to become licensed because I couldn't find any tests that weren't at 9am on a sunday, an hour drive away. Maybe that seems like a low bar, because it is!

But, I got into ham radio to do interesting things, and not communicate. After all, why bother with making sure you have line of sight to a repeater when you can just fire off a text message? I'm much more interested in telemetry, instrumentation, and remote control.
I don’t particularly like the title. The mathematicians showed some intuitive properties of equations that are used to model ice melting are correct. They did not prove anything about the actual physical process of ice melting, which would be something done in a physics or chemistry lab. This reminds me of when pop-sci articles discuss new developments in string theory as fact, when there has been no experimental evidence for the existence of strings.
This is so awesome! Is this the start of a new thing / movement I wonder?

Such a plugin is beholden to the extension “marketplaces” so it would be good to include instructions on how to self install the extension if chrome bans it.
That sounds more like urban legend than a true story. Neither Zelle nor Venmo (and it's a strike that you can't specify) have an obligation to cancel accounts based on comments.

If they did, half of the accounts in Venmo would be banned already - have you read the comments in the public feed? People know that feed exists, and use it to troll their friends all the time.
This doesn't seem to be the behaviour on my machines (Linux and Windows), where mouse3 is back.

Sure, but if cigarettes weren't a thing then nicotine would probably be on the enormously long list of banned substances that you go to prison for possessing. The business is probably what kept it available for regular people. I think as smoking winds down there will be more talk of making nicotine illegal, because that's how our governments operate.
I'm not OP, but I've looked it up before, and it's actually quite expensive. Ballpark of around $75/night (USD). And, of course, it's slow, so you'll be using a substantial portion of your banked vacation time to do it (if that's a concern for you).
> I feel this "10x programmers are a myth" attitude comes from a good place of wanting to promote harmonious working and skill-up junior engineers

When comparing juniors you observe the same distribution.

Or easier. Depending on how the hyperfocus-or-none dice roll for piano...
I assume they are talking about how Django contains lots of stuff by default, whereas many other "frameworks" include much less. E.g. Flask doesn't come with a database layer, or session management, or pretty much anything.

Now if that constitutes "bloat" or "fully-featured so I don't need to coble lots of libraries together" is a matter of taste and use case.
Social justice and crypto are both cancer
Why wouldn't you support it? Seems like a win-win for most parties involved.
At my company you get one interview, if you get a second interview it is because we liked you but someone else was better and passed your resume on to a different team. One thing we do is take every candidate to lunch (COVID has changed this of course) with someone who doesn't have input into if you are hired: so feel free to ask those questions that you are not sure about.

Having done a few interviews, nobody knows what questions to ask.
I'm open to different perspectives but you're not even on topic. Let me simplify it even further: Brian fired the woke.

The thing you're talking about, worker conditions, is not what the article is about. It's not a different perspective, it's an entirely different topic.

But anyway, have a good day regardless.
It would be nice if ZFS snapshots were more flexible. And you could say "like git" when talking about the user experience. But it would not be like git in terms of implementation. Git's implementation is not really copy-on-write. It's deduplication.

I'd say the git method is actually pretty low in metadata, and the way you'd improve ZFS snapshots doesn't involve making them more like git.

If you did get that huge amount of work done, you could then approximate git with snapshots alone. Right now, you'd probably want snapshots and dedup to work together to approximate git using ZFS.
Completely different threat model. I want to send messages to my friend that are private, and it would be awesome if we could do it p2p on a mesh net that doesn't require any centralized infrastructure.

Modification of those messages isn't something I'm worried about. It's not perfectionism, it's a different use case.
Personally, I'm a strong believer that decentralized systems are more robust than any centralized or distributed alternative. I see no reason why geopolitics would differ from software in this case. In fact, the most effective use case for decentralized software occurs when centralized (geo)political governance creates friction or reduces optionality. For examples, see Napster, Bitcoin, Tor, etc. – their decentralization provides robustness against failure modes created by centralized governance and regulatory capture.

So if the principles of software and politics are already so closely aligned, isn't it reasonable to assume that 136 independent governing bodies would be more robust than one?
Exactly the opposite in my experience. The top competent/productive people I’ve worked with were too obsessed with their craft to even think about politics.

Right but Google really needs to be called out on the amateurism in interviewer training, selection, and quality control, as displayed throughout these comments. They clearly use volume and redundancy to make up for the number of failures.

I'm sure they'll come out with the argument "we give xx million interviews, we are within an acceptable failure rate with these outliers". No you're not Google. No you're not.

Which is all fair enough. I'm opposing pluc's point that this type of post should perhaps be disallowed:

It's certainly an appropriate post for a US-centric forum.
> The main issue with Airflow transfer operators is that if you want to support transfers from M sources to N destinations, the community would need to code N x M Airflow operators.

I'm biased but this is a nonissue with workflow-as-code solutions like temporal.io (which Airbyte uses). N activities pulling data from sources, M activities sending data to destinations, write whatever translation layers you want in your workflows.

links to examples https://temporal.io/usecases#Pipelines and our community meetup where Airbyte spoke about their needs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K25Bt5asd8I
Yes, but ham radio is all about being open and a community of people communicating together.

And if that's the use case you want, you should look elsewhere.... At least, that's what the people leading the ham radio community and arrl say.

I'm not sure I agree with that, but I'm not sure I disagree either. I certainly think the community aspect is less important today due to the internet, but it's probably still crucial.

According to MDN[0], timezones are not supported. But easy to add on top of the native datetime-local field. So it looks like that timezone detection of yours is all you need: let it fill a hidden field, instead of replacing everyting with your self-built thing (which probably lacks aria controls, keyboard controls, breaks tabbing, looks terrible on dark-mode and so on).

> ...the date/time and time zone values would be submitted to the server as separate data points, and then you'd need to store them appropriately in the database on the server-side.

Which, IMO is the correct way, also for a datetime-picker, anyway.

I don't think the premise of the Awesome List is to tell you which tool to use, and despite their name there are lots of tools on these lists which aren't awesome! But I still think they're useful as a way of browsing all the different things available and stumbling across something you never would've known to look for.
I think there is a difference between guilt and complicity, though they are related.

I have somewhat limited agency in this world, limited to the little bit of money I spend, the movement of my arms and legs, the words I speak, the things I look at, and my thoughts and intentions.
Another point on your side is that close(); open(); is racy in threaded programs: to avoid the races you need to use dup2(), but that still has caveats related to losing errors from close().
I really doubt it. The bay area has the most absurd housing prices I've ever seen. Looking on zillow, I've seen places that aren't as good as mine in Chicago go for 2-4x the price I paid. It is absurd and Illinois isn't known for being a low tax state recently.
And they’d do the same thing to you.
