Maybe I should have been more concrete earlier. I certainly didn't mean to obscure my meaning or make you feel attacked. I did start out in my first reply with a mistaken understanding of the science. I did edit my post to reflect that because I didn't want to lead people astray and maybe I should have even more forcefully. But, I do think while knowing the nuance is important, It is easy to lose track of just now effective vaccines seem to be. They do for example dramatically reduce the odds that I'm currently shedding virus which is most of what I worry about. And statements like viral load being the same really do seem confusing. I also think even on here the terms are confusing. Viral load for example is only for people who are infected, but what exactly does it mean to even be infected. Certainly just having a virus land in say your nose isn't enough. I think most people wouldn't even count a few cells being infected as truly infected. Certainly a test wouldn't right? So I think talking about viral load as a quantity for people who aren't "infected" is sort of reasonable especially when "infected" is being defined essentially in terms of virus concentration. But idk much, my only bio credential is 1 year of undergraduate course work

So, in the interests of full transparency - we at Zendesk are actually running a fork of confluent-kafka-go, which I forked to add, amongst other things, context support: https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/pull/626

This bug actually happened because I mis-merged upstream into our fork and missed an important call to rd_kafka_poll_set_consumer: https://github.com/zendesk/confluent-kafka-go/commit/6e2d889...
Love to see more adoption of Nix and NixOS.

I started my Nix journey a little over a year ago, and I regret not having switched sooner. A package-manager that also ships an operating system that can be customized from the bootloader up, using a purely functional programming language is the perfect configuration management tool!

It does have some rough edges, and I did lose some hair figuring things out early on, but it has been getting better with each passing day. Pretty much the entirety of my setup at home is now built by Nix and runs NixOS, including my Macbook Air (runs NixOS on ZFS), and two Mac-Minis that PXE-boot a custom NixOS served by a Raspberry Pi 4 running a custom NixOS configuration that also acts as a firewall connecting wirlessly to my ISP's router. The Mac-Minis also double as build machines which makes for a pretty smooth experience when I'm building anything on my work laptop (a 2020 Macbook Pro running Big Sur) that I dock with my CinemaDisplay, which is wired thru an unmanaged switch to the rest.

So far I haven't missed any packages that I could not find in nixpkgs, or customize just the way I wanted to. The community is pretty responsive and quick to merge any pull requests for fixes/upgrades. I would whole-heartedly recommend switching to Nix/NixOS/Nixpkgs.
The article seems to have been cut short. When I viewed it, it ends at the beginning of a sentence starting with the words "None of".

Here's an older snapshot of the article from back when the site was still called Gamasutra, that includes the full text of the article:

Did you consider Segment’s pure Go library instead? Curious as to why you might have rejected it. (I should also note that Go C bindings impose performance penalties in many cases due to the need to copy memory back and forth.)
Funny thing about unions. If you form your own union, you get to write the rules. The agreement with the employer is a matter of negotiation, but the operation of the union is entirely the prerogative of the union as long as it's legal.

Don't want to operate a holywood-style guild? Then don't.
That's... almost exactly the inflation adjustment for what they've always paid. I made $15/hr entry level at one in central PA as a summer job between semesters in college 20 years ago.

Minimum wage was $5.15 at the time. It was better pay than my first tech job (QA testing, $11/hr) and I seriously considered going back for a while. But I wouldn't call it "fantastic".
Yeah, that really happens.

And it's not like there hasn't been enough time for a whole new generation to come up having those things around them from the start. So it's not about education.

People don't care to know the difference, even if they come up to the limits of their understanding of things. They much rather find someone with better understanding, and let them mediate.

Those people can't be helped with the tools of UX/UI. They can somewhat be aided by good IA, but that too is limited.

There will always be a portion of users that need a mediator, periodically. That's OK.
Vivaldi is however, as large parts of it are proprietary.
That’s true. I still think it is better if we just accept that “they’re the boss”. I don’t want their job, I don’t want a vote on the board, that’s more responsibility then I can handle. They’re the boss and they decide. If they’re unethical, or treat people like shit, I’ll quit. I haven’t yet had a manager, CEO, or board has forced me to quit.
That’s the same as not expecting an ‘early access’ game to not actually be a game.

You go into beta when your shit works to work out the last bugs, not when you have a barely functional MVP.
I'm not saying "I'm just a skeptic." People keep putting words in my mouth or arguing against points that I didn't make.

My original argument was against the poster who said that there was no reason to lie about the utility of ivermectin. I said that there was.

In arguing against points that I didn't make, though, you keep making points that I still disagree with. Such as this false dichotomy you keep laying out:

> Now, what we can posit is that there is a worldwide conspiracy to suppress the fact that ivermectin is effective OR we can posit that ivermectin doesn't actually work very well for Covid.

Those aren't the only two options. A third option is that ivermectin does actually have some mechanism of action that has some utility in treating COVID, and that the informal clinical data which continues its usage is because of that. You're acting as if there are formal studies which indicate that it has no utility, but all of the data debunking the utility of ivermectin instead suggests that there is simply not a rigorous study formally demonstrating the utility.

For the third or fourth time, I'm not even saying that I believe that it does have utility. I actually don't care about ivermectin.

> If we're trading on anecdotes, then I'll say that ivermectin doesn't work

I don't remember laying out an anecdote saying that ivermectin does work. An argument was put forth saying that if ivermectin did work, there would be scientists and doctors all over the world studying and using it. I said that there were scientists and doctors all over the world studying and using it. I think it's entirely possible it does nothing and those things could still be true. You're the only one between us who is actually making a claim about the utility of the drug.

> This is why you don't believe claims without data.

I don't know what claim I'm purported to be believing.
It isn’t that either. It is entirely supply chain issues, including oil.
I downloaded the mp3 to listen to this, but the audio is filled with weird squeaks, squawks, and short skips. I don't know if their microphone is broke, if this is some effects they added to be cute, or if their mp3 download is simply corrupted. Either way, it's intolerable. I couldn't listen to it for more than a minute.
I'll contact the editor in chief and see if it can be fixed.
this seems false

> May be used to advance CIA goals

What does this mean? Can CIA add a voice and video chat feature if the deputy director of it wants it? Can the CIA freely access internal communications? How? Who does this? Does Larry know? How do you know?

> cia has control over the app along any dimension

This is an excessively strong claim. Can the CIA delete the app and end the project if they feel like it today? Can they see what I’m typing before I post it? Again, why? Who knows about this? How do they do it?
I learn a lot doing https://skilldrick.github.io/easy6502/ and hope there are other on that level for z80, x86 and arm.

May be 6502 is just simplifier. But dealing with basic memory, asm, machine code, cpu and flags are so intuitive when you got a javascript emulator using canvas.
I think when you begin to work on something, there's the phase where you are "stuck" and need understand the problem well enough to generate an acceptable initial idea to get started. To me, this is the draining part. However, once I have that understanding and can start exploring it, I can easily work for hours; it still requires mental energy and is still draining if I go overboard and don't stop in time, but it's not the soul-crushing kind that being stuck on a problem can be.
I also maintained several kubernetes clusters and never found it very difficult. We never had any major outages, and the only downtime was trying new features.
I am genuinely curious: you seem unhappy with the economic circumstances presented in the article (and in the country in general), so what is your preferred alternative in terms of policy and outcomes?
It's funny how inflation is blamed on increases in the salaries of the lowest-earning folk. This in an age of record high corporate profits, stock market highs, and massive concentrations of wealth.
No it's not lmao. It's that the institution is the one who fills out your fucking paychecks. If I pay you to clean the kitchen, but you want to clean the bathroom, and I tell you to clean the kitchen and not clean the bathroom or you're fired, and you decide to clean the bathroom, what exactly do you think should happen?
We had previously made extensive use of Sarama, another pure-go implementation of the Kafka protocol. After the third or fourth time where I had to use Wireshark to debug a protocol-level bug we figured it would probably be better to use the librdkafka-based library to have better protocol support.

Plus the team running our brokers found that the Sarama clients were a drag on them being able to enable broker features like zstd compression (although I understand Sarama has zstd now). This felt like it was going to be a kind of problem that would keep cropping up.
Its amazing what people can do with very limited constraints (8 player real time multiplayer on 28.8 modem!) when they have to.

I probably can't even do a (modern) google search on a 28.8 k modem without it feeling absolutely painful.
> He's declared an allegiance with people who spend all their time on Twitter and forums dehumanizing trans people

That's how you could interpret the TERF joke, but then you did ignore the rest of the show where he basically says the opposite.
Words don't exist only to "contribute to the argument" but also to summarise, to express emotions, as rhetorical flourishes, or simply to amuse. In this case, the last sentence is the conclusion of my argument. If you disagree, well, you disagree with my argument.

And with that you've just demonstrated my point. By focusing on an aesthetic component of my rhetoric rather than the substantive, you have chosen to steer this entire discussion away from the underlying topic.

> by extension I must be someone whose ideas are nonsense

That is nonsense. It does not follow.

> What did labelling my idea as nonsense accomplish?

It's my opinion. And while you're welcome to call that idea yours, I only consider it an idea. You shouldn't be so quick to tie your ideas to your identity. Everyone has lots of opinions and a good number of them are certain to be wrong.
Neutralizing antibodies from the B cells of 1918 influenza pandemic survivors
You’ll notice Segment rejected Sarama, too. :-) Honestly I think only Segment got the pure Go library right. They care a lot about correctness and performance.
Pretty much this. SystemD was inspired by LaunchD on MacOS and was written as a clean room implementation of something in the spirit of LaunchD. InitWare is essentially an init system inspired by SystemD.
Kubernetes has been a single binary with hyperkube for over 5 years. This argument is really tiring.
In my country your workplace is not allowed to go through your personal files stored in your work devices. A folder named "personal" is a good enough legal protection to store all the nudes you want as long as it doesn't take all the space on the device.

People won trials against companies in the past.
How do supply chain issues cause companies to have a hard time hiring?
> don’t see why someone would want to use snaps in this way since you have to publish your snap on the snap store OR install locally as far as I can tell. (Please correct me if this isn’t the case, I cannot find otherwise ANYWHERE.)

You can pay Canonical and have your own private snap store for your devices. How much of that is on-prem and how much hosted is I imagine part of the negotiation.

>the reputable makers of tape and glue can really help you figure out what you need for your application

I love that this is still a thing in some industries. My dad is a retired contractor, and has several times suggested that I call the manufacturer of a home improvement product when dealing with a difficult or nonstandard installation. Coming from the phone-numberless land of Google et al, the idea that a manufacturer would have competent, highly technical help available to consumers always sounded totally insane to me, but it's worked for him! I finally tried it when a pressurized toilet tank failed on me, and the woman on the other end guided me through the diagnosis, worked with me to figure out the cause, and then shipped me a replacement part for free even though the previous owner of the house was the one who bought the tank. Great stuff.
People often get things backwards.

If an entire village is razed to the ground then whatever led up to that is wrong, period. What people get backwards is thinking that if the actions that led up to the razing were themselves not ethically problematic, then the result has no bearing on whether or not we should continue allowing said actions.

Then there's the fact that actual FB employee's have gone on record that FB is making things worse in Ethiopia. Or aren't we allowed to take that into account when condemning FB?

Discounting this as being simply "he said/she said" is itself ethically dubious.
There are plenty of countries that have higher minimum wages than the US and don't experience greater inflation. One reason is that the money for these higher wages comes not from higher prices, but from executive and investor compensation. If workers have more leverage and companies compete in a competitive market then prices can stay low by cutting fat from above to feed those below.

That higher wages == inflation is a self serving argument that only gets rolled out when those wages are blue collar wages. You don't see it applied to the ridiculous amounts of money the managerial and investor classes earn.

The 50's and 60's saw modest inflation and rapid wage increases. Workers had more leverage and the US wasn't nearly as unequal.
I spent quite some time writing github.com/twmb/franz-go due to wanting more from both Sarama and from Segment’s library. Pure Go as well.

I’d recommend evaluating it as an alternative, even to confluent-kafka-go due to comprehensive feature support and (afaict) even higher performance than the aforementioned libraries.
Straw man arguments are a fallacy, not a "rhetorical device". It's an error we're all prone to doing at some point, unintentionally. I would argue that it's only unethical if it's done intentionally—and while you can guess at someone's intention, knowing is usually impossible. So unless you can literally read minds, only the author can truly know if they were being unethical or not.
Can we leave games as the one area of life that doesn’t need to be ‘monetized?’ I play games for the intrinsic enjoyment. Why does everything need to be commercialized like this?
> Ungodly money. Ungodly benefits. Working interesting problems everyday. Changing the world. Impacting millions of lives. The best of some of the best teams.

The pay is good, but the rest of it is not as good as you make it out to be. There are exceptions, but for the most part projects, teams and impact are usually pretty low.
What does it hurt to tell someone about a feature they could be using, especially if you're mentoring? If they don't want to, they'll tell you and that's fine, but they need to be aware of it in the first place to make that choice, and the assumption that other people know the same things as you is often wrong.
Is it wrong?
Adding the networking layer is a good thing since it's centrally managed
how droll.
Unlike chronological internet forums where all opinions must be heard, it's very difficult to successfully astroturf an internet forum that self-polices with upvotes and downvotes.

EDIT: In the case where someone says something against common perception, downvotes in particular deemphasize it (turning the comment gray on HN, collapsing it on Reddit) as this comment unintentionally demonstrates, thus why astroturfing in such forums successfully can be hard to do nowadays. The real astroturfers do Facebook/Twitter instead where content can't be downvoted.
It makes running Linux as a primary OS irrelevant.

Linux on the desktop has always been a joke, but it's even more irrelevant now. You run Windows as your main development OS and when you're ready to deploy your app to Linux, you launch WSL or run a CI/CD pipeline.

But there is now zero reason to ever run Linux as the main OS on your desktop.
There are two sides to that. I was representing a German union institution inside our org for one simple reason. The employer had gone out of his way to ignore what peoples responsibilities were and showered them with work that wasn't there's and then tried to punish them for pushing back. Usually the reason people respond with this is not my responsibility is because they have been burned by doing things that wasn't theirs. It's a cultural issue and the solution which you describe is a crappy generic solution to a cultural problem.

That said the very same union would frequently respond with that's not our responsibility when I pointed them to take up actual legal issues that they were responsible for.

A lot of the old union representatives were there for decades with no desire to change anything and enjoying the good relationship they had built with the leadership.

At the end of the day any human organization that grows too big seems to end up in its own lazy comfort zone, whether it's the employer side or the employee representing union side.

The thing about forming your own union is that major unions also have big lobbying institutions saying that their union is the only thing with real power, while the other side has their own lobbying groups pressuring workers into believing that all unions are bad.
I think that depends where in the world you are.
At some point you need to take a few minutes to learn new technologies in a tech career. Kubernetes is just not that hard if you spend a little time understanding it. You don't need a service mesh. Calico is very simple, or you can use cilium for something more advanced
It’s all relative. These issues are clearly important to these people.
>Ungodly money.

Based on my own experience (albeit outside the US) the salaries don't differ much from their non-FAANG counterparts at the top of the market.

Writing `dyn` in front of types doesn't really make a difference, it's only a little bit of added verbosity.

The main problem is that trait objects are very limited.

There is no downcasting or upcasting (eg C++ dynamic_cast) and trait objects are limited to a single trait. You can't have `Box<dyn A + B>`.

That leads to lots of headaches in practice.

I hear downcasting might be on the horizon, so that's something to look forward to.

Actually false.

He wont the recall for a few reasons

1. He lied and lied in ads claiming its a far right recall and that its anti democratic to have a recall. Yes, he said its anti democratic to vote.

2. He gave handouts right and left and bought himself the votes. All the endless checks in the mail and also paying people's rent, many which could afford to pay rent. Actually, all could afford the rent because he gave more unemployment money to people than many were actually making while they were working.

3. Netflix gave him millions to be able to film. The restaurant owners across the street cried about being shut down for covid while he allowed netflix to film and have catering to feed its people.

4. He had the corrupt media on his side. The corrupt media called a black man running against him a "white supremacist." Yeah for sure

5. Several of voting places told people that they already voted when they went to vote. So someone voted for those people and they voted not to recall. I don't vote, but they probably voted for me too. This is a non disputable fact that this happened.

6. You could easily see on a sealed ballet if the person voted for Newsom to be recalled or not. It was shown over and over on reddit. That's how they cheated

I know many of you don't like facts. But these are facts.
In reality there are almost no unions operating in tech spaces. The world is our oyster, and the only way to let huge unions into the industry is by voting them in. It's a space ripe for disruption.
