Of course they will. A lot of people will gladly accept FAANG salary and then bend backwards to rationalize it. Or they just simply don't care.

Four rounds of interviews is not a problem if you are good at what you are doing and only need to visit 2-3 companies to get the offer you want.

It only becomes a problem if you need to visit a lot of companies and I suspect that is where a lot of complaints come from.
Corporations will need to start looking at the tweets of applicants to make sure they don’t hire the woke activist types. They are becoming a nuisance in the corporate world.

The problem then seems to be tests that are too abstract. The students are optimising for tests that aren't requiring them to solve real-world problems.

A book - probably not so much.

The big value of sites (mostly github master repos) that offer recipes for saltstack/chef/ansible/puppet, or the helm collective, etc - are that they're continually being tweaked as new versions of (upstream) software are released.

They usually all require a fair bit of localisation before they 'just work', at least in my experience, but the template taken from a proven functioning system, and then abstracted & shared, is worth its weight in gold.

I've set up a few nomad jobs, but nothing anywhere as complex as, say, this cortexmetrics monstrosity. Even our k8s & nomad guru baulks at such an undertaking.
I think the tricky part is that students during a particular day have to very much crunch or limit the amount of information they take in when jumping between subject to subject.

They don't have the time, attention spans or memory to be able to take in both the contextualization and to understand the formulas. After all it's only the formulas' that really matter in the end when performing the calculations in test/exams when you have to show your working out. I also find that I can understand the contextual quite easily but it's another thing to then apply it through formulas.

This is coming from a non-teacher but past student.

At University I had more time to think about the contextuals during my degree, but not in high school jumping from subject to subject.

A man claiming that he's a woman because he wears a dress and make-up and really believes he's a woman is kind of inherently funny, in an absurd way.

Feels like we're all living inside a Monty Python sketch right now. That one from Life of Brian comes to mind.

And if this is what people consider important enough to go on strike for, then that's even more bizarrely amusing. A thousand people bunking off work because a comedian told some jokes about this. It's astounding really.

> What would you say if Netflix called their bluff and just fired all the people that walked out?

The employees would go on to complain about being improperly let go. This is what happened to Google AI Ethicist Timnit Gebru [0]. She wrote a very public letter demanding changes or she'll resign and Google took her up on the offer. If you go through her twitter[1] you can see she made the firing into her identity now even though it happened nearly a year ago now. It's kind of sad

2021 is looking to surpass that...

Part of his criticism was centered around how the 'alphabet people' have made rapid strides, but that conveniently forgets that black people can be gay or trans too, and also haven't made the same gains white LGBTQ folks have.

I'll gladly cede that America is more structurally and culturally anti-black than they are anti-LGBTQ, but that isn't the argument he was making.

This is a pet peeve of mine, but someone actually tell me which millionaire/billionaire actually remained 'cancelled' after being cancelled. As far as I can tell, the only people actually being cancelled are the trans people being fired from their jobs for finding the special distasteful and voicing that publicly.

200dpi on a laptop screen would ideally need 1.6x scaling, not 2x. It could vary between 1.4x to 1.8x but definitely not 2x. Not sure what's wrong with that website.

At 13.5 inches, it would've been better to take a page from some Surface laptops and go for 3000x2000 or 3200x1800, depending on the preference for aspect ratio. At ~260 PPI, 2x scaling works fine.
> Pretty sure they'll be able to get new jobs very quickly.

That's what makes it so good for both parties: Netflix would get rid of employees who are holding the company back, and the employees could easily find new places to work. Seems very mutually beneficial.

> This is literally a text book example of the type of action organized labour takes when its mad about something.

It's not, really. Strikes are usually about workers: their pay, their conditions, their environment.
I find it interesting that you use inflammatory language like “cancelled by the mob” while copying terminology and unsupported theories that tabloids like the Daily Mail use to incite outrage and mob-like reactions of their own.

She committed suicide after what appears to be a troubled life, months after being criticized by other members of the trans community on Twitter. Unless you have some special knowledge of her motives beyond what was in the note, it seems exploitative to use it as a vehicle for your political views. Similarly, rather than claiming that people who are reacting negatively haven’t watched Chappelle’s special, it’d be better to try to engage intellectually with what they’re actually saying rather than finding an excuse not to.
> In practice, it will mean that some things you will know about, but don't necessarily give consent (i.e., someone taking a picture or a video of you)

This makes me and so many others upset. I hate that people can upload photos of me to social media without my consent. And with the new glasses, it’s disingenuous to even say I’ll even know it’s happening. The little light on it is a bad solution.

So my inner self says that these are red herrings, or false flags set by 'real players' to lead the stampede into your living room.

It feels like there's never been a better 'cover' than r/wallstreetbets for firms with real capital to put material volume behind names that would in other scenarios be extremely suspect, or near manipulation. Now you can say, 'see, retail said they like AMD, AMC, etc...

Perhaps JK made some genuinely hurtful comments I'm unaware of, but given the ones that were quoted in a pearl-clutching context I'll believe that iff I see it. There is a school of thought that seeks to treat all trans-gendered or gender dysphoric people as a monolithic group who have only one correct course of action. The irony of that, given what gay-rights activists were working for within living memory, is so sharp as to be painful.
Nice to hear this. I’m late 30s, and l0pht was a huge inspiration to me.
That’s a workaround that is not as ergonomic as writing python more directly. The person working on this Gil project is one of the major maintainers of a key ml library. They have used c/c++ binding approach but want to make life easier and be able to multi thread directly in python.

Up to 12 qubits or so.

> Perhaps reality is actually only approximated by the wave function but reality is something else under the surface which means quantum computers may need to be reconsidered.

Possible, that reality is only approximated, and that approximation breaks down at more qubits. However, that would be the more exiting outcome, since then we have an experiment that gives us a window into a post quantum theory.
> Let the free-markets determine who should be cancelled.

What would that look like though?

I think there's a somewhat valid conversation to be had about cancel culture, but this point comes up over and over, and I'm constantly wondering: if people criticizing speech in public places like Twitter isn't the free market, and Netflix employees collectively advocating that they don't want to host the speech isn't the free market, and if users boycotting or voting with their wallets isn't the free market, and if advertisers pushing for higher standards on the platforms they're advertising on isn't the free market, and if platform-holders and publishers deciding what content they want to promote isn't the free market, then what is the free market?

When we talk about cancel culture, a lot of the mechanisms of canceling use free market actions; freedom of association, the right to criticize, the right to filter and to share filters with other people, the right to choose how we spend our money and time. And it's valid to look at the free market of speech and say that sometimes it's overly harsh or that it censors the wrong people or that it can be intolerant, but I don't see how it's possible to simultaneously say that the marketplace of ideas is the correct way to sort out good and bad speech, and also that people being mean on Twitter or calling for boycotts is fundamentally the wrong way to tackle conflict.

What do people think the marketplace of ideas is, and how should it act? When the marketplace of ideas deems an idea unpopular or bad, should it still be given equal weight and equal investment and promotion alongside other ideas, even though the marketplace doesn't want it?

That's not how the real economic marketplace works; in the economic marketplace if you can't convince people to buy your product, then your company dies and investors stop giving you money and putting you on store shelves. Nobody says that it's a violation of the free market if people badmouth a company online and stores stop carrying their products as a result. Nobody argues that I'm "canceling" Facebook when I tell people to stop using it, or when I argue that Facebook's future VR products are likely to be bad just by virtue of being made by Facebook.

What's different about the marketplace of ideas? Is it that Netflix has too much power and it's a pseudo-monopoly over entertainment? I can buy that argument for situations like Facebook or the Apple app store, but I don't really buy it for Netflix.
By the way ... that was the first VR program one could run at home. I drove liquid crystal classes with the modem control lines. Switching left/right was synchronized to the monitor's vertical retrace.

If we want to talk about moral virtue, actions speak louder than words.

Dave, by the sounds of it was a kind and gracious friend to Daphne and this was corroborated by her family. He offered her to open for him in a club as well, a great opportunity given his tenure as a comedian. In addition, upon hearing of her passing, setup a trust for her daughter.

The twitter mob on the other hand tried to have her cancelled after she defended him because she knew that he had no ill-intent.

In my opinion, the 1K employees who are walking are doing so on the flimsiest of moral foundations. Dave has done more for Daphne and her family than any of the 1K employees or the twitter mob ever will. Moral outrage is not generous or kind to anyone, period.
> Even if it only earns them a few dollars a day, the opportunity cost could very well be zero.

You forgot the opportunity cost of the datacenter itself. It would be much more profitable to turn that into a colo or a VPS host with some new hardware.

Regardless, once the bitcoin reward goes low enough Bitcoin will probably become worthless. It's already not usable as a currency, and without the distributed ponzi system ofhanding out blocks to miners, what motive will anyone have to buy it?
A few years ago, since I work for a company that makes switches and routers, I decided that our cloud VPN would be IPSec-based. It was going to be simple, and would work equally well with software and devices.

Oh, boy. It's not just ciphers. If you look at software alone, compatibility between the various *swan flavors is not exactly a thing.And what about IKE? By far the most misunderstood, haphazardly implemented piece of the puzzle.
Cancel culture is out of control really. That said these people have a bad reason to strike but they have to be allowed to strike and netflix has to be allowed to fire them if they want to. It's just the way free society goes. Freedom has consequences.

> Its tough work, IMO, because you do what other people don't want to do

Sometimes, I am sure, but I this is not always true. I've run volunteer clean-up events and as the organizer I signed off on court-mandated community service. Most people helping out were volunteering their time for free. And then there were a few folks who had court-mandated community service.

It is tough and boring and thankless work, but plenty of people volunteer to their own time and money to do that work. Is it pleasant? No. Is it heinously inhumane? Jesus christ, no.

> It is never intellectually challenging.

Oof. It's court-mandated work, not a board game night.

> love, understanding, and genuine interest from his parents

If you read the article, there are tons of hints that his (adoptive) parents really did care and even put in a lot of effort to shape his social milieu to make it less "socially demanding". If anything, his parents' primary mistake was being too lenient when confronted with serious red flags. He switched schools and was later dismissed from a rehabilitation center as a lost cause, for christ's sake. This wasn't "normal troubled kid" stuff.

> I am pretty sure he wouldn't have been caught with petty DDoS crimes.

In the article it sounds like those crimes were ignored until he committed much more serious crimes. And he wasn't even punished for them, it's just that the bread crumbs were used to identify him.

That doesn't necessarily imply a lack of forethought. They might have seen all the leftists rioting, occupying government buildings, setting up autonomous zones, etc without consequences and thought they would receive similar treatment for behavior that was a common protest tactic in 2020.

While I was teaching c++ I would sometimes look at programs from a colleague and try to rewrite them in a more teachable form using c++14.

The abstraction capabilities in modern c++ made it more fun and allowed me to condense programs in totally unexpected ways. More abstract code was simpler and sometimes easier to understand.

But after a while (usually my version 4 or 5) if I abstracted it too much (Templatized it, made work for Unicode or char types) etc. the complexity would shoot up again. It became incomprehensible even to me even though I had written it. I knew it worked because it gave the same result but it was no longer anchored/rooted in anything real.

There is a zone of usefulness that is between the completely abstract and the concrete. Physics lives in this zone…it uses mathematics but they don’t feel the need to generalize to N dimensions or to assume the constants of nature are variable—unless they have to.

This is why all good descriptions of mathematics start by showing a concrete problem they want to solve. Gauss invented the FFT algorithm to simplify his calculations of the orbit of Ceres. He had the numbers in front of him and tried to reduce his computational workload by exploiting a repeated pattern in the computations. Teaching the FFT as a fait acompli and showing asteroid orbit as a sample application is ass backwards.
> They work at FAANG. Pretty sure they'll be able to get new jobs very quickly

I think companies are acutely aware and growingly suspicious of employee activism. Would you want to hire an activist for your organization? It would be a red flag to me as the activist employees could second guess any decisions made at any level of the organization and work to organize to cause a disruption. It's just not an effective way to run a business
The more retail traders, the more money that institutional traders can make! Institutional traders love the uninformed flow. It's no fun trading purely against other algorithms (and also not nearly as profitable)

- A complex system cannot be “made” to work. It either works or it doesn’t

- A simple system, designed from scratch, sometimes works.

- Some complex systems actually work.

- A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works.

- A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system.
