Very fun to read and reminds me so much of my grandparents, three of whom grew up in the 1940s in the Bronx. Especially how their accents and mannerisms sound so foreign and out of place out west (in Arizona and Los Angeles) yet likely to them, all children of Eastern European immigrants, they aspired to learn and speak their unique variant of American English unique in time and place, as well as live and survive in what must have been not the easiest place to grow up. And for my grandfather, his aversion to Jewish rituals and observances despite being brought up in an observant household, and not learning even one of the multiple languages his parents spoke, I have always thought was yet another way to prove he was a fully assimilated American, yet in so many ways was shaped by the culture, tradition and outlook of his andestors. It’s a shame the accents of New York City and throughout our country are loosing their defining features and sharp edges.

Sometimes, t.co links redirect 5+ times until the target domain is reached, so I guess fixing this would break a lot of twitter‘s content.
The challenge with this approach as that many very competent people are not allowed to discuss their prior work in that level of detail. More practical variants of this approach use a straw man software design problem to talk to that will exercise diverse areas of experience.
Because the speed at which they can write good specs cannot match a competitor doing iterative back and forth from an elevator discussion. Even in large slow banks, we churn feature releases weekly now with half finished stuff behind feature flags to see if they like it so far. And well, it works and they re happier and we can have lighter BAs, and spec mistakes cost a lot less as they are spotted faster, not after 3 months of blind work.

Oh and btw the value of software is not to handle every edge cases well, but to be able to change, imho.
Instagram started ads similarly though minimums were lower at around 300k or so. Essentially Telegram wants small number of big advertisers and is willing to accept lower CPM rate to make it worthwhile for those businesses.

Telegram ad product and infra are probably not ready to scale right now so they decided to go with manual process. Probably already arranged a few big accounts prior to announcement.

Realistic name from working in the NT: Someone with your name died, so you no longer have a name until the elders convene to give you one. This may take somewhere between hours and years.

However, after a period of time dictated by the hierarchial position of the one who died, you will be given the choice to retake your previous name, or maintain your new one, if you have it.

Several name changes with the differing clocks for switching may overlap. Each time, you may end up with interspersed periods of no name.

Every time a change occurs, you are not normally allowed to acknowledge that the previous name was ever attached to you. As such, your gov IDs have a numeric constant, like everyone else, but no name fields.

On an island of a thousand, I estimated roughly 10% of people at any one time had no name.

And more than 10 percent said that they had seriously considered suicide in the past 30 days, compared with just over 4 percent who said the same thing in 2018 — and who were referring to suicidal ideation over the previous 12 months.

So, this seems like a potential positive feedback loop if Telegram were ever to matter much. Are other platforms like this? If Facebook and Google both did this, it seems like we'd end up with an economy that we don't want (assuming they matter as much as I think they do.)
asp.net was closed source, asp.net core was open source. if by sweeping under the rug you mean opening up all there source code to the community to contribute too? Sure, they are doing that, go read it and get educated! Or do you mean async/await? (dont use it - i prefer observables).

as someone who was a C programmer that discovered Java then worked full time in C# for 15yrs.... i feel like the snubby nosed C guys who think pureness is the only way are likely hailing webassembly over JS and wouldnt accept anything less.

in reality, if you bring C near the web, you ARE the problem, not the solution. Different languages power different parts the technology world. Except your place in the ecosystem - instead of wasting energy wagging your fingers with angst at the others.

I am definitely sad that a career in chemistry didn’t work out. I have lots of “Thoughts”, but I do think we fundamentally underspend on science, but I likewise believe the academic PhD system got out of whack with the supply & demand due to some faulty incentives.

> am I getting my ultra right wing conspiracy theories mixed up

Yes, you are very mixed up:

1) The conspiracy was created by the Democratic party, known to be leftist/Marxist, which is the opposite of what you wrote. This is an actual conspiracy, with one arrest already, not a conspiracy theory.

2) Biden made the false FISA complaint against Trump. Most people consider the initial FISA application to be false but not illegal based on information at the time. However, the following 2 or 3 FISA extensions by him afterwards are considered to be knowingly false statements (ie. illegal.)

Because Biden has dementia, nobody will likely prosecute him out of pity for an old man in rapid mental decline.

Fox mostly talks with sadness about him and the American people at this point, and blames his wife and Democratic party operatives for putting him forward as an unfit candidate in 2020.

3) Hillary Clinton financed the Russian analyst arrested last week, and likely the British agent who provided the false "dossier". This is what the Mueller report is about.

(Note that the Clinton Foundation accepted $2 billion from Saudi Arabia, so she has a virtually unlimited slush fund. The KSA stopped donating after she lost her presidential run. Hmm.)

Not really. In most of the departments in the US you are expected to start research in parallel to your classes at the end of the first semester. The latest I know of, is the end of the second semester after the course-based qualifier exam that many departments still have.

Within 12 months you are expected to do full time research regardless of what other obligations / selective classes you have.

So more like 4+ years of full research. Many schools have avg PhD program durations way over 6 years.

In UK post doc is almost a must for those who really want to dive deep.

I've been programming Java for about 10 years professionally. I think most of it stems from the fact that JavaDev work is nothing really groundbreaking - it's mostly work for established companies. No startup is building their new exciting app in Java. That makes Java work good money, but a hard slog to get motivation in

> Others ask why Twitter does redirections, and it seems that everyone here forgot that marketers love their Bit.ly and Sprinklr links so much that Twitter needs to have a concession here.

> In the last company I worked in London, only one team (DevOps) did not follow scripted interviews. It was the least diverse team, not just in terms of representation, but in terms of diversity of thought.

Did this result in poorer job performance for the DevOps team, or any other negative business results that were specific to that team? If not, who’s to say which interviewing method was better or worse?

As an interviewer I’ve always felt very constrained by scripted interviews and “approved question lists”. I always struggle to really evaluate a candidate when I’m asking pre-selected questions without knowing why I’m asking those questions.
I love the Telegram UX but have always been wary of its owner’s benevolence. They have bootstrapped an amazing platform and I hope they are able to get a strong ROI without compromising the great community they have built.

"Lapsed biochemist" here, the incentives for maximally pursuing a career in science are not there.

10y in the lab, I did cutting edge science for <50k/y, got some papers out of it. 5y in software industry, I'm out earning my old boss who has been in the game for 20+y and is top of his field. The saying in academia is "there's no money to argue over, that's why PhDs are egomaniacs".

I'm sure it's for someone, but it isn't for me who: is the only person in their family in history to have a degree, and is non-generationally wealthy. I paid my parents mortgage for years when they got laid off in 2008 on my academic salary.

Maybe American gentleman scienists? Nearly all the US grad students I worked with (NE USA) were from bonkers wealthy families.

I was a lab rat who loved the work, and got to see some things humanity had never seen before. The money just isn't there under the system we have. Over 70k in student debt racked up, paid off by software industry, not academia. All I could think in my last two years in the lab was: "This is it. I'm never going to be able to pay off this debt like this." pulling 10-12h days on experiment days, coming in weekends to feed the mice/cells/other lab bullshit.

No thanks.
I recently had the best interview experience of my life from an interviewer who had this philosophy. He's a professional interviewer who's done thousands of interviews over the past few years. He feels that the best way to gauge a candidate is not by their knowledge of minutia, but by whether you can trust the things they claim about themselves.

He's so passionate about the subject that he created a Youtube channel. It's aimed at both interviewers who want to do a better job and interviewees who want to influence their chances of success. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhCnsRMXhadbiHsTcxMCg...

I think that’s typical for a big platform - big ad agency relationship.

These conditions are not for regular ad buyer, but for an agency that commits to the volume and re-sells it to businesses.

“For starters, looking for alien tech on Earth is probably a waste of time. ‘It’s a geologically active place, and, on top of that, life destroys everything quickly here,’ says Wright.” That’s a pretty harsh reaction for someone interested in evidence of alien life. We have good evidence of UAPs (UFOs) that are non-human technology flying around our own atmosphere. I do hope the search for technosignatures finds evidence, but I think that Avi Loeb’s Galileo Project will end up finding incontrovertible evidence soon.
You misunderstand. "Why twitter does redirections" is "why does twitter follow Location headers to get unfurl info / metadata", not "why does twitter have t.co", and the reason is because marketers use bit.ly etc, so twitter has to follow those redirects.

Marketers/users cannot view t.co metrics, but even if they could, they'd want to use their own url shorters anyway I'm sure... so twitter has to have the t.co previewer follow arbitrarily many redirects.
This right here is the kind of company any self-respecting engineer shouldn't join unless they are transparent about the fact that they have issues with their processes/don't have people to deal with these issues that they need your help.

If they have a whole arsenal of project managers, architects, product managers, engineering managers, business/product analysts and still give this kind of lousy excuse, I'd probably stay away. Chances are they don't have any real expertise in the domain they are working in.

And btw, requirement gathering and writing technical specifications are taught in school.
From a document perspective, yes, you're correct.

From a tagest perspective, and the discovery affordances, there is a significant difference.

Hierarchical tagsets allow you to navigate via tags, affording document discovery by that mechanism.

That becomes more significant as you're working with a larger, richer, and more structured tagset.
Let something overflow seems like the exact opposite of empowering user decision.
> Did this result in poorer job performance for the DevOps team, or any other negative business results that were specific to that team? If not, who’s to say which interviewing method was better or worse?

It did. And even if it had not in this particular case, it will hurt the company in the long run. There is not even a shred of doubt in my mind that diversity (of thought) is the best investment that leads to success.

I have been using scripted interviews, the same method I mentioned in original comment, for more than 5 years now, hiring more than 200 engineers in three continent and I am super happy with my results.
Tags could be a controlled vocabulary, but in almost all cases they are free-for-all.

Archive of Our Own has an interesting scheme, where authors tag their pieces freely, and volunteers behind the scenes enrich those pieces with tags that are indeed from a controlled vocabulary.

(They also do other mind-boggling stuff: in those tags they encode all kinds of information, so that you can search for a Kirk-Spock love story where violence is involved and Spock is dominant, and so on…)
Communication is a two-way street, if your questions are not being understood maybe you should put some effort into making them clearer.

Non-academic labs can't offer tenure because there's no tradition of it outside academia and by its very nature it only has value if an organisation can make a credible commitment to maintain for decades or centuries.

Labs that can dangle the carrot of a tenure-track position can pay much less than those that can't; workers overvalue it both because people generally overvalue potential prizes and because it's been gradually made rarer and pushed back further and further.
> they'd want to use their own url shorters anyway I'm sure

Yes, a single dashboard to view their marketing campaign (which Bitly and Sprinklr among others provides) is a very attractive option for marketers to the point that I actually see shortlinks on companies' own website. I personally digress, but the simple fact is that these companies provide what the marketers want.

Terrible job hiding the drug dealers identity in this article. They included her first name and location, googling that combination returns her full mugshot in a wanted poster put out by the local police.

> The idea smoking actually cuts down social costs is laughable

I never claimed this. I am stating however, that it would appear that the proper equation for the referenced article should be healthcare costs + productivity loss - premature mortality, not the sum of all 3. I would not expect that the total is anywhere close to net negative, but I would expect it to be less than the reported €363 billion.
I used to bash Haskell exceptions but my views changed recently after programming in Haskell for a while.

> all of these can fail, and there's nothing in the type system to alert you of this (in the standard library), such failures just mindlessly throw exceptions like some Java monstrosity

There's `MonadThrow` in Control.Monad.Catch which hints that the monad in question can throw exceptions. Admittedly, partial functions like `undefined` and `error` are still usable...

> Not to mention async exceptions in Haskell, which can happen anywhere, [...] anywhere could be interrupted by an async exception

... and they can throw exceptions everywhere, just like asynchronous exceptions, but it's actually a strength! Haskell enforces a clean separation between impure code (typically in a monad) and pure code. You can only catch exceptions in the IO monad, which often lies outside of the core logic. Due to this unique strength, Haskell is one of the very few languages that can safely terminate running threads.

Impure code can become harder to write because of exceptions, but since you don't write everything in the IO monad, the problem is largely mitigated. Yes, exceptions are hard to get right, and that's exactly why other languages are trying to get rid of, but Haskell makes it quite tractable, (though still quite annoying). Rust used more Maybes and Eithers in the IO monad (to borrow jargons from Haskell), but it's also got panic, which is the actual Haskell exception counterpart.

> and the fact that every value is really of type value|undefined, due to laziness

To be pedantic, Haskell has levity polymorphism, which gives you unlifted datatypes, like in OCaml and Idris. Even older Haskell has unboxed datatypes that are not lifted.

> ...Haskell's love for untyped exceptions everywhere...

Nope, Haskell's exceptions are typed.

My understanding is p2p doesn't really work in the true sense? Almost everyone is behind routers these days and ipv4 is still the main addressing system. Forwarding servers are needed. Skype used to be p2p based but had to be centralized after purchased by Microsoft cause of quality issues so its also centralized, although there were some theories about the nsa getting involved and what not
I think it did ok. I never met my great grandfather. I heard a lot of family stories about the store. A lot of family time across 3 generations was spent there. I’m the first that never saw it first hand.

I knew the great grandmother. I remember her fondly, but she didn’t talk much other than in duty of running the house. Food, cleaning, gardening, laundry, etc. They were depression era mentality. Saved all the butter container. I think they themselves were raised by Czech/Pol immigrants to Texas.

Anyways, I knew they did well financially because of seeing my grandfather squander a ton of assets. They were super modest folks but as the town grew, they built apartment complex. They had several 100s units. Also the grocery store was on a gold mine of a street intersection. Supermarket competition and sufficient rental income are my guess at what caused my great grandfather to close the store and sell the land.
No, the person is replying to themselves. That's how you create threads. There is a UI mechanic to make it trivial as well but it's only been around for a couple of years.

It's the same as how threaded email and news clients work but there's one small difference: the display will prioritize the originator over other people who are also replying.
no, there is discussion (Iraqi news channels, will edit if I find text)

In a nutshell, the Irani-backed militias and their political parties did terrible in the elections and are now saying the results were fake and threatening war if a government is formed. The PM is seen as someone who isn't pro-iran so he is hated by them, however, it is possible he gets a second shot at being PM given the Sadr faction did very well and is open to having him come back so this is likely by them.

Also the types of the drones are ones that were known to be used by certain militias (Iraqi Branch of Hezbollah)
