This point of view seems far more narrow minded, to the point where it doesn't even deal with problems it claims to be concerned about.

If you are concerned about "multiplying," then refusing to build housing does nothing to fix that. People living in cities with high incomes ans education and freedom to control their lives have fewer children than those who are poorer and live in less developed parts of the world. If you actually care about "multiplying" then you should be encouraging as many people as possible to move into urban areas for the greater economic, educational, and general awareness of the number of humans around them.

Secondly, if you are the least bit concerned about natural resources, you should also be encouraging more people to live in urban areas, where they consumer far less resources, far less fossil fuels, and generally have far less impact on nature.

Thirdly, that quote from a fictional character is just utter bullshit. Nobody is leaving Vancouver because they consumed all the resources, quite the opposite. People want to move there from other places, and not spread out. Opposition to projects like this forces people to spread out against their will.

The only thing opposition to this project does is increase environmental impact of people, reduce their happiness and access to the high value resources of the city, and most crucially of all to current power holders, put people out of sight while they consume more and are less happy for it.

So really, opposition to projects like this can only be viewed as an extreme form of greed. Adding in supposed concerns about nature, or multiplying, just points out that a person is just fine with both of things, as long as it's not insight. That is a fundamentally thoughtless, selfish, and asocial way to view the world, and it has caused immense harm over the last few decades.
I said nothing about war, I'm talking about the COVID response in both cases.

The US Federal Government has spent trillions on COVID related bills. Over $5.3 trillion if this[1] is to be believed.

USD$5.3 trillion / US Population = $16k/person (approx)

AUD$291 billion / AU Population = AUD$11400/person (~USD$8,300 approx)

On the face of it, we spent a whole lot less, and have had at least as good, if not a better economic outcome.

I was going to mention them, but I've never had the occasion to order from there. Their parametric seems equally awesome! A bit daunting, but I guess that's how non-EE's see Digikey.

For home improvement stuff I often order from Zoro and end up looking through manufacturers' catalogs. It's a burden, but awesome in its own way.
Or just make a new LinkedIn. Not everyone has a bunch of content published about them. Alternatively, choose a common name and get lost in a crowd of people with your name who are more famous than you.
I would immediately try to get the defamatory content in question to slide through blogspam and other blackhat SEO techniques. You can also dilute the message through similar but more spammy and completely misleading defamatory content which links out to shady and scary websites to scare off anyone researching the topic.

Get cheap SIM cards for verification and create an array of a dozen sockpuppet accounts all over top social media platforms for downvoting or reporting defamatory content and use them to promote content which makes you look normal. Log in to different social media accounts from fast food restaurant WiFi all over town with different user agents and wireless mac addresses.
And can also give guaranteed distance properties-- so you can e.g. guarantee all corruption of hamming distance <D within a message size of <W will be detected, -- which is a massive improvement in performance when that's what you need to catch.
That's an evem better point. Why doesn't Home Depot do tool rental delivery & pickup via gig work?
This sounds similar to a situation I know of that occurred a few years ago and the person in question got terminated for a particular cause, but they were the kind of person who decides if what they were saying was a joke depending on if you laugh or agree and has been very careful around their manager.

The language you are using makes me think you might be getting pinged from hiring processes because you are very angry/anxious about this whole situation and probably not putting your best foot forward.

That combined with the anxiety of the world being on fire may be making things worse in all sorts of ways, both for you and the teams you are interviewing with.

No damage that is solely reputational is permanent, so it seems you are stuck catastrophising. That can put people in survival mode and I know when I’m at work I want to be in a creative mode environment so you may not be coming across as a cultural fit.

I don’t think you’ve come to terms with the situation and I’d recommend you talk to a therapist before resuming your job search.
> The all-company meet ups were the best part about the job(other than the pay I guess).

To each his own, but all-company meetups are the most god-awful type of event there is. The feigned enthusiasm about company stuff, self-promotions, office politics, elevator pitches, people patting their own backs, etc etc etc. All in all, a colosal waste of time and resources.
So flu vaccine mandates are still allowed?
I think it's attributed to "luck" because the Romans didn't have the theory or the tools necessary to do a systematic search of the problem space and didn't understand why one way of doing it is better than another. It's similar to ancient metallurgy, where we know that some quite impressive results were produced sometimes, but the artificers themselves didn't know exactly why their product was better than the product two countries over.
Some other platform picked it up and started bagging on me. Not national news public, but still.
I've heard plenty of those stories, I'm asking about this specific instance. Your first article is talking about something unrelated to this, and the second is something that happened three years ago.
What an astoundingly poignant comment. . . I'm commenting here for future reference.

It is the protocols and open standards that we should be focusing on, not the platforms.

With that said, web3 endorsed activity pub, I would like to see more websites take advantage of that, I'd love to be able to comment on hackernews via my mastodon account, for example.

Another example is their mastery of acoustics.
I remember visiting ruins of Roman amphitheaters when I younger, and getting surprised at how they had managed to design them so that the audience would clearly hear what was happening on stage, even from great distance.

I was told it was not entirely clear to us what key principles they were following to get the acoustics working so well and that a lot of their wisdom had been lost to us.

It was like 25 years ago, so I hope we've made progress in rediscovering some of these techniques. But still...
I think you may be right, and maybe I am psyching myself out. I've always been a very good interviewer/interviewee (even helping others out with a job search!) This has all been so much, I don't even feel like the same person I was before.
Can't fine tune it. Can't use it on private data. Pay per symbol. High latency access. Inconsistent performance. No internet disconnected use. Can't guarentee repeatable results. Can't (easily) replace the sampling with alternatives that have different behavior (e.g. for using it for compression).
That will not help you now, but I think a support network / company for canceled people shoud be established. There is a ton of people who are living in the fear of losing pretty much everything in a context of ever shifting political and medical Overton window, and then there are those like you to which it happened. Such a company may have difficulty to make business in the Western world, but the rest world usually don't care so it can be economically viable.
That could work. But I hate it when the audio is even a little bit out of sync with the video.
Do you really need to know who this person is to sue? Maybe you should talk to a lawyer about it. Filing a complaint is usually the starting point if you want to open an investigation.
There aren’t any names of people that have been canceled that are so infamous that every company will know who they are. I don’t think this post is true or at least not all of it is accurate.

I talked about this in a recent blog post on transitioning away from Docker Desktop - https://jason-umiker.medium.com/replacing-docker-desktop-wit...

Indeed, but it is most definitely a trend.

I mean, MIT also has him speaking. It's just not a talk to the public but is limited to graduate students and professors.
I didn't find it disorganized. There seemed to be a clear progression of ideas and it kept my interest throughout.

Readership isn't everything. The best way to appeal to a broad base is to say nothing of import; i'm not sure a pared down version would be as interesting a piece.
"Docker, a gajillion dollar company" - LOL they barely get along.

While I love Docker as a dev tool putting all strings into your hand to juggle customer environments, I fail to see the use case of Docker on Macs and Windows, which I'm understanding what Docker desktop is about. After all, docker images are about saving the resources/memory for a full VM and using Linux kernel-level compartments instead.

> To onlookers it appears that I spent years a decade ago going on racist and sexist tirades

You’re hinting that it appears that way, but wasn’t actually that way. So what’s your side of the story? Why is your history not what it seems?

I don’t know your details, but if there’s any truth to the accusations, then it might be worth considering owning it. Something like: A long time ago, I made a big mistake by ________, but I’ve learned from it and am committed to ________. Sure, some people won’t forgive you, but some might.

Again, I don’t know the details, but someone denying something is sometimes harder to believe than someone that owns it. But, if it’s all gaslighting is it too difficult to explain how it’s been “all set up against you”?

Some more details might be helpful if you’d like specific advice.
Along these lines, unless you have good sense that the accusation and discussion about it are both indelible and preserved in sources that are insurmountably-well-ranked, consider whether you can stomach living the life of a content-producer for a while. Blog, youtube, or tweet. Restrict the comments/replies.

It's a chance to simultaneously show/model your real values, and dilute the influence of the accusation.

Also: don't curdle.
That's an excellent question; it turns out there are a _lot_ of semantics that the OS is covering up for you when using mmap. For instance (this may be fixed by now), but any process doing certain mmap syscalls locked access to any open mmap's in an OS. So some random cronjob firing could clock your mmap'ed app pretty solidly.

There are also wild bugs; if you google my threads on the LKML you'll find me trying to hunt down a few in the past.

Mainly what I'm doing with extstore is maintaining a clear line between what I want the OS doing and what I want the app doing: a hard rule that the memcached worker threads _cannot_ be blocked for any reason. When they submit work to extstore, they submit to background threads then return to dequeueing network traffic. If the flash disk hiccups for any reason it means some queue's can bloat but other ops may still succeed.

Further, by controlling when we defrag or drop pages we can be more careful with where writes to flash happen.

TLDR: for predictable performance. Extstore is also a lot simpler than it may sound; it's a handful of short functions built on a lot of design decisions instead of a lot of code building up an algorithm.
I agree this could easily be something that spooks an employer that is weighing you against another decent candidate. But then again, it might not be much worse than what they find googling already.

How you tell the story might influence people. Have friends/family read whatever you write about it and give you feedback on how it comes across.

Greenruhm: The Music Social Network for Musicians and Fans
Everything about Microsoft cloud and its ecosystem is broken. I recently signed up for onedrive (microsoft business basic, actually), and I didn't even know which domain to navigate to. They have a gazillion different URLs, and each of them is different from the other. Here's a (partial!) list:

azure.com onedrive.live.com admin.microsoft.com microsoftonline.com office.com office365.com onedrive.com onmicrosoft.com sharepoint.com windowsazure.com

Each one of those portals take you to SOME view of your account with a gazillion settings. Many of them are repeated, and changing it on one portal doesn't necessarily reflect in others. For example, I enabled 2FA somewhere (and it worked), but going to admin.microsoft.com showed 2FA disabled.

Even payments, which every other website seems to have figured out, is broken. There was a recent change in regulations in India for subscriptions on credit cards that allow the customer to control the period of subscription, enabling/disabling, etc. Microsoft of course, hasn't implemented the changes (despite the regulations being notified in August 2019), and because of that, transactions are being declined.

So can I go and make that payment online? Well, no. Your subscription shows up as "expired" because it couldn't charge your account, and the only option it gives is for you to "reactivate" the account. Great, so I'll just reactivate. But no, it doesn't allow you to pay when you reactivate - it's going to try and charge your credit card again, itself, as a subscription, sometime. And of course, that's going to fail again. Loop!

Addendum:

So somehow, with the help of Microsoft support, I manage to sign-up for another subscription with the same licenses for the same cost, and they disable the old one. Great. So this time, it tries to charge my card, fails, but then allows me to "settle" the "overdue" amount manually. I do that, and my account is "active" again!

Do they send me a mail saying they've received the amount? Nope. Does my Microsoft account billing page show that I've made any payment to Microsoft? Nope. The only indication that I've made a payment is that my account is active with an expiration date in the future.
It's one of the reasons I left. A team full of new grads with nobody to properly teach them. Poor designs are drafted and implemented leading to unmaintainable systems.
Thank you all for your insight. I think a few next steps are clear to me.

1. Seek some therapy/mental help. Something I've been lacking and psyched myself out in to thinking I don't deserve it.
2. See if there are any legal avenues/help I can get on contingency, (I am pretty broke at the moment)
3. Maybe just own the situation and try to exude confidence, as hard as that can be.
4. Worst comes to worst, change my name and just try to do contracting work for awhile.

This has been the worst ordeal of my life, and as helpful as this post has been, has just given me more anxiety about the situation at hand. But it's always the darkest before the dawn I suppose. I'm going to shut my laptop and try to meditate for a little bit.
The project looks amazing but Westbank doesn't inspire confidence.

AAC is far superior, as is OGG, on a technical basis
Large companies are the worst for this. They hire firms to go through a person's social media history to find out what they did and if they are a good fit. One mention of recreational drug usage in a positive (or neutral!) light can sink you. Being seen to go on racist rants certainly will, especially when you consider that most large firms' HR departments also have extensive DEI programs.
Vaccine mandates don't make sense since they don't allow for the concept of natural immunity. The CDC allows you to show proof of previous infection for measles instead of getting vaccinated.

Personal perspective of a Taiwanese:

1. Taiwan govt did something right in the 70's, e.g., establishing science parks[^1] as part of Ten Major Construction Projects[^2].

2. Coverage of higher education. 51% of population of age 25~64 has postsecondary degree or higher. Only surpassed by Canada, Japan and Luxembourg in OECD countries[^3]. To achieve high coverage of higher education, I believe it is in major part influenced by the Taiwanese culture of studying.

3. Again, govt started to minimize their rein and let private sector and market take over since 80's. Many business owners are always delighted to see less govt control/restriction. This coincide with the timeline of rapid democracy reform in Taiwan.

One can always read up on the Taiwan Miracle[^4] regarding the broader stroke on the economic progression.

It’s awfuly handy being able to pop open little recipe OS configs while using my Mac.
Depends. I live in north Dallas. Masks were always just a guideline here, no matter how many "required" signs there were, anywhere from 25% to 50% of the clientele on any given day would just ignore them.

We now are going the other direction, state buildings are prohibited from requiring masks and private businesses do so at their peril because people are generally against them.
I am contemplating exactly what is the motivation for me to actively, pick up the proverbial pitch fork, get worked up and go out on a some ideological battle on Twitter? Life is too interesting to waste time on cancel-culture-activism. Cancelling others would guarantee never winning them back again for your cause. Defend your stance not through suppression of others but an irresistable pull to the same appeal that solidified your ideology - whatever that may be. Market your ideas with grace, respect, dignity and honesty. I now feel like religion was a kind of a good idea to keep monsters within all of us in check.
I ran Search for 5 years or so; then ran all of Research for the next 5; then had an increasing smaller portion of a huge growing Research initiative. This past year I enjoyed mentoring startups in ML through the Google for Startups program. But m0gz got it pretty much right.
Pursuing high value but low employment industries like IT services for Indian upper cast is why India is so behind PRC. Semiconductor industry is more of the same, but worse. Even less employment or and revenue once famine cycle of semi demand kicks in after every bloc gets their fabs up. India needs cheap dirty manufacturing that employs 100s of millions. But automation, desire for self-sufficiency, and rise of China means countries won't risk concentrating global supply chains in single place like India again. Especially India due to geography.

>India can bridge the income trap.

India @ 1/5th of PRC economic size would have to sustain ~25% growth just to maintain with China growing at modest 5%. Indian pre-covid single digit growth can't even generate enough jobs to keep up with population growth. Reality is India's demographic divident in her most productive states are going to fizzle in 10-20 years, comparable to PRC. Overpopulated and underdeveloped states skews overall trend to 2050s, but these are provinces with level of hunger, malnourishment, stunted and wasted developement on par with North Korea. These are the human capital comparable to uneducated folks that compromise ~200M stuck in informal economy in PRC because they can't be integrated into modern economy. India is going to have to deal with demographic bomb while much poorer than PRC before there's light at end of tunnel.

>China got old before it got rich

Middle income trap is a myth, and if it wasn't PRC is upper middle income and steps away from high income of ~$12,500 anyway. Competent countries "trapped" in middle income still typically grew faster than developed economies as well. The question is really can PRC get powerful before it gets old, and all signs indicate to yes.
I'm so sorry to hear this. Understandably you're still upset, but I hope things are better today.

It's something the investor wants to protect their investment. Compare e.g. getting warranties from the seller of a house - you could frame that as an option that you're getting for free and the seller should charge you for, but really without it you wouldn't want to make a deal at all.
