The EU Commission took Ireland to court (and lost) about their secret sweetheart tax deals with Apple so it appears they are well aware of what happens within their own borders.

> By its decision, the Commission considered that the tax rulings in question constituted State aid unlawfully put into effect by Ireland. The aid was declared incompatible with the internal market. The Commission demanded the recovery of the aid in question. According to the Commission’s calculations, Ireland had granted Apple 13 billion euro in unlawful tax advantages.
Yeah it’s all a big conspiracy.
Depends on the result. I do interactive rebases extremely often, I don't have to look up how it works.

Sometimes I have to use some command I'm not familiar with. Sometimes familiar commands gain new options. It's perfectly okay to use some reference for that. Also, "more time" is like 1 minute.

She was not fired, she quit.

She was publishing studies critical of Google, Google wanted at least the right to have studies of the company reviewed and to include more updated information etc. which is extremely gracious on the part of Google.

She gave the company an ultimatum i.e. 'Change the Terms or I Quit' so they said 'We're not changing the terms, we accept your resignation'.

It's galling how many people (and their supporters) think that they have a right to be employed by a company and then publicly criticize them with misleading information, unmitigated or reviewed by the company.
I get the author's point of view. For people looking for a sense of purpose in their jobs, it should suck to feel like a useless cog.

It's funny because, in my current job (senior designer at a European unicorn) I check all the boxes the author is looking for in his new career:

- My routine covers talking to customers, designing the UI, doing alignment sessions with the C-Level, and many other things. I am as generalist as I could be;
- I also see the direct impact of my work on the product.

For me, being less a specialist and having a direct impact on the product sucks. It's a lot of responsibility and quite often very stressful.

As someone who does it only for the paycheck at the end of the month, I would be happy to earn the same amount of money I make today as a useless cog of a larger company.

The same in germany. For some people the idea of forest is not an ecosystem but "a lot of trees planted together". And then they scream about forest fires (in a normal forest the ground has some moisture and trees do not grow so close to each other) and tree eating bugs (the trees are packed together so the bug has an easy job traveling to its next victim and the absence of predators does not help). These "forests" offer 2 things: graveyard silence and darkness so they are a good predictor for the future of humanity.
Maybe it is you who wants politicians to regulate.

I want them disappeared as much as possible and that they work giving service to others, not f*cking the very pillars of the benefactors of our society, which are business that produce something useful, by taxing them and imposing obligation after obligation, and, when they are friends, giving them competitive advantage via regulations with excuses to protect this or that, absurd regulations that only have the incentive to exchange favors, making effectively non-viable ideas and business that could succeed and improve all people's lives and remove government handouts.

The people that should govern should be people specialized in the tasks they do, and those tasks vary, in my ideal world, from nothing to security + minimal laws (do not kill, do not harm).

All the rest is giving them reasons to accumulate power that only is misused to polarize people and to give advantages to friends.
It’s very common practice that internal customers count as revenue for project. Especially ones that aren’t profitable.

I wonder what critics of optimizer-oriented programming, such as Marcel Weiher (mpweiher), think of this post. Weiher has been repeatedly critical of Swift for relying way too much on LLVM's optimizations; I wonder if Rust, with its emphasis on zero-overhead abstraction, falls into the same category for him.
In artificial intelligence there is a well known dilemma that IMO is reflected in the human experience. The dilemma is between exploration (being curious) and exploitation (being passoniate). This article is basically saying "exploration is better than exploitation". Of course, it is far from being that simple. Finding the optimal balance between exploit/explore is not trivial at all.

> the biggest corp in the US would be a drug cartel

This is besides the point you’re making, but I disagree with this. Disregarding the ones who make drugs for medical use, we already have recreational drug companies operating legally, namely those selling alcohol and tobacco (and coffee I guess). They are not the biggest corporations in the US (although some are still huge and powerful, of course).

The reason it’s currently so insanely profitable dealing in some of the other drugs is their prohibition, which makes prices skyrocket (and of course, when you’re already on the wrong side of the law, you might as well cut corners and utilize harmful practices to the extreme, even further increasing the profits).
2010? Nonsense, it was disaster.

Companies should be allowed to dabble in unprofitable things as they wish.

The need for everything to be profitable is why Google got into selling Ads and also why they keep killing projects. Many things in the world worth doing don't nearly fit into a nice profitable business but in many ways, bring some positivity to the world.

Android gave many people a chance at a modern smartphone and connected future. Chrome would never be profitable on its own but for a time, it forced web standards to move forward and freed many people from the mess of 1000 virus-laden toolbars in I.E.

It is easier to determine the increased sensitivity as one could refer to the topics that come up in the media e.g. free speech, standardised testing, shifting language around womanhood e.g. birthing people.

The issue of "dangerous" is much more subjective. That one is going to take a little while longer to play out. After all, what is wrong with increased sensitivity to "harm"? Then the next step becomes "what do we do to correct or mitigate the harm?"

The effects of eliminating all hierarchy in education might be good? Hiring based on demographics rather than qualifications might be good? Who knows?

Perhaps when policy becomes linked to the new notions of "harm" is the point when it becomes dangerous?

If your dataset is large enough to benefit from such a hyperoptimized parser you might not benefit from the human readability anymore, which is the main reason for the required CPU cycles on the first place. So you should probably use a feature-equivalent binary format that is optimized for parsing speed. The only reason to use json then is that it is the lingua franca. So we as an industry should figure out which of the 100s of binary variants of json-similar formats has the same capabilities and unite around it.

20 years of the iPod
I think the reason for today's troubles is that we've lost the separation between the public and private space. The public space used to be the world where people dress up and politely navigate crowds of strangers, tolerate free speech and handle confrontations, but then retreat to a private space that's free of cognitive dissonants. For exhaustive coverage of this topic see https://www.ribbonfarm.com/series/domestic-cozy/.

Today's generation grew up sheltered, stayed at home more and was much less exposed to random groups of kids like we did back in the day, having to deal with a general population on playgrounds, soccer fields, sports clubs and mandatory military service. At the same time conflicts can reach you at home if you only look at your phone.

Therefore, everything that happens is always private and personal, and can therefore be objectively harmful. I too experience the cringe, but this generation will reshape society to their needs, however arduous the process may be.
Company policies like “don’t be evil” probably need to be directed by founders.

You can’t expect others in a company to put their morals over profits because at the end of the day no one gets fired for making money, but you can if your morals get in the way of profit. The incentives always pushes on the side of profit.

As a company grows the founders who originally directed the company’s ethics either step down or have less influence in the day to day decision making at every level of the company.

I think this is why we see companies like Tesla (and startups more generally) making so many “out there” decisions in terms of design and how they run their business. No one’s going to risk their job on pitching the cyber truck at Ford or spending $0 on advertisement. These things really need to be pushed by a founder who isn’t worried about being fired for doing something that seems crazy on paper.

Generally I think the world would be better off with less super massive companies who no longer have a founder with morals and a vision to guide the company away from a purely profit motivated future.
> There is also nothing wrong with copying your entire tree to a different directory, diffing, applying patches by hand, and keeping track of what goes where.

What? There is plenty wrong with that. I've worked with people who did that. There are lots of problems with this approach. It's extremely hard to work with and it only gets harder the more people are involved. At least in git the commits have unique identifiers, everything is hashed and checksummed automatically, branches are properly tracked, etc.

I've even worked with non-programmers whose version control was emailing each other files named like:

Presentation final final REALLY FINAL (2) (3).ppt

It was a hell unlike anything else I had ever experienced before.

That's because an async computation is not a task. So use the task computation either through a nuget on < F# 6.0 or build in >= F# 6.0

task {
let! bytes1 = File.ReadAllBytesAsync(path1)
let! bytes2 = File.ReadAllBytesAsync(path2)
return Array.append bytes1 bytes2
}

"As you can see in this thread, she was treated unfairly. S"

This is not true.

The fact that she may or may not have had extra scrutiny than others, within regular policy or not is completely besides the point.

If a company, for whatever reason, wants to have 'another review' of the paper, it's completely within their purview.

"Her paper was anodyne. No one would've blinked if it was published."

Our view of whether it was notable or not is irrelevant. If the company wanted to put the brakes on it, especially because it related to Google, then that's their choice.

It's hugely arrogant for her to make the claims she did - let alone publicly (!) - by all right she should have been fired for that, she was luckily the conditions enabled her to even try to establish the premise of her own resignation.

In nextjournal you can plot clojure output trivially with plotly or vega-lite. It’s just a matter of adding metadata to your output, like this:

{:y '(5 10 15 20 25)}]
:layout {:autosize false :width 800 :height 400

It's not just money, it's also ideology. Rule of law is increasingly looked at with distain in favor of rule by arbitrary authority. At some point deontological liberalism has been overtaken by utilitarian pragmatism. The thing is that deontological rule of law is the exception throughout human history, and utilitarian pragmatism is the norm among unremarkable populations. It's not exactly easy to reclaim.

When I hear people around me thinking it's a good thing when a judge rules in a way that nets the outcome they want, regardless of whether or not it was done so in accordance with the law, it hurts. Somehow, people fail to realize that rule of law is the single greatest defense against tyranny that we have. Short sighted pragmatism.
This discussion over whether she was treated differently with respect to review is irrelevant.

The Correlation of two signals a and b is just multiplying them (if they are vectors, multiply each element of a by the corresponding element of b)
Corr(a,b) = sum(a. * b)

The correlation of a signal s with a sine wave of frequency f just gives the signal power at that frequency.

Repeat for a set of regularly spaced of frequency values from 0 to Fs/2 (the maximum frequency you can work with with data sampled at Fs) and you have the DFT. You can even clump the sine waves into a matrix and your DFT gets reduced to a single matrix multiply.

This is much easier to reason about than worrying about how an FFT works which is just a speed optimization (which can be derived from dynamic programming applied to the DFT).

For someone doing signal processing the results are the same. Introducing the FFT without making reference to the DFT is wrapping the subject up in an air of mystery.
I work for one of the big companies that you would think (from the vocal minority) everyone hates. Only one of their business units is "not well liked", another is ambivalent, and another creates health care products for students and doctors. They try hard to provide opportunities for minority groups in the company, they organize charity events for local groups doing things like fighting hunger or childhood cancer, and they try hard to be one of the best employers wherever they have offices. Their leadership promote the idea of always trying to do the right thing and have an open door policy, and have changed company decisions because of concerns gathered via petition. I'm very frustrated at the poor organization and execution of this company, but it does genuinely try to live good values, and all the people I've ever talked to here (including leadership) genuinely care about other people. And I know for a fact that their products have pushed forward advances in science, technology, medicine, even giving away product for people fighting the pandemic.

I have the feeling that all large companies, regardless of how ethical their mission, can make you feel bad. But just because you feel bad doesn't mean the majority of outcomes of the company are bad. I mean, shit, our country as a whole produces some pretty bad outcomes, but not necessarily the majority. At some point we need to be more rational than emotional and do as much good as we can while still collecting a paycheck. But of course we should be willing to leave and work for good if we can no longer justify the bad.

I don't think there is any safe math for that. What if staying provides a better opportunity to create necessary change? At what point do we choose between the easy and the right, and how do we even find that line?
