Very frequent, sometimes it's straight up lying, more often it's overstating what they did on the CV. To give you an example, when recruiting for a devops positions recently, during phone screen easily 1 in 4 people with several years of AWS experience on their CV had no idea whatsoever about very basic IAM concepts (e.g. roles vs users, that explicit deny always takes precedence over explicit allow).

That being said being civil and ensuring positive experience even for poor candidates is one of the fundamentals of interviewing. In the cases I described I didn't call them liars, I simply stated that for this role we expect them to independently support development teams, and that we consider IAM to be part of the fundamentals (it was explcitly listed in the job posting), and sent them some resources for studying up.

They give me a guarantee that nobody else is going to be changing the data, somewhere deep down the call stack. I've had cases in production Python code where some seemingly unrelated code module somewhere was mutating data without my knowledge, breaking whatever I was working on.

Since we are talking about single-threaded single stack context, immutability wouldn't have saved you here, even with immutability you could have receive the wrong value/data from some function in another module down the call stack. The problem was not mutation but a function returning bad output.

You are implying some code modified data underneath you, which can't happen in a single thread.
I'm not sure if you're joking or just not familiar with _why, but his book on Ruby is probably his most famous writing:

or

It's an incredible work.

Ruby is the spiritual successor to Perl, and the niche it filled was to be the "beautiful" programming language. If you don't appreciate _why's guide and the idea of code as magical incantations, you're not going to enjoy your Ruby experience. I don't think there's many rubyists that didn't appreciate _why.

With something as weird as Ruby, where there's so many ways to do everything, you're going to want to start with beginner's mind anyway.

Apple fixes macOS Monterey flaw that bricked some T2 Macs
The author’s absolutist dicta (“There is essentially no common ground…”, “ostracism means death”, ”People are absolutely obsessed with money”, “you can’t be truly successful in mainstream culture”) makes this essay sound foolish. Maybe Ayn Rand fans might like it. I couldn’t stop giggling.

The analysis of “older people” is a hoot and a half. I imagine the author striding about in his/her father’s bathrobe and carrying a broomstick, intoning wisdom. Maybe the author should talk to one or two (or a thousand) before theorizing.

The author’s world view seems to be centered around “success” as the primary motivation behind human behavior. I am also guessing that “success” means to the writer some degree of celebrity and money, and the more the better. The author should consider the possibility that such a world view is not deeply held by a large part of the population, or perhaps the grip that “success” holds does weaken with age. A trip to a hospice or assisted living center might be a worthwhile experience for the author.

And the key point is hardly original. That’s why the phrase “big fish in a small pond” has been around for so many decades…that particular motivation for developing/joining subcultures has been a thing for a long, long time. There are many other motivations, never mentioned by the author. This imbalance is another problem with the essay.

Commenting about the cringe-worthiness of the tone: I noticed early on in my career that folks seem to be extremely polar in their idea of "right" and "wrong" choices when it comes to software. This crystallization is self-fulfilling, as the bombastic tone dissuades softer voices from expressing dissenting opinions or new ideas. Sometimes there are scientifically proven "right" ways to do things, i.e. comparing the computational or space efficiency of different algorithms. When it comes down to code style and API design though, what really matters is self-consistency and clarity. Much of the rest is down to preference and personal expression.

One other thing to keep in mind, a lot of the time users (including me) couldn't give a fuck about the security of your website/webapp/mobileapp.

If you force me to register an account to do what I need to do, and I'm never planning on returning anyway - you'll get my "default shit site password" and if you demand a deliverable email with confirmation, you'll get a throwaway-able email. I have a "spare" gmail account which I'll use with the "plus addressing" thing, so you'll likely get random-looking-string+sitename@gmail.com and the equivalent of Password123! - and I don't use that email for anything else. I'll filter mail with that +sitename to spam if/when it starts getting spam, since spammers know that trick and remove it - eventually I just throw away that gmail account and start a new one.

Occasionally that bites me in the ass. Back when this stupid new "text messaging on the web" site started, you know, the one with the best and the fail whale, I was curious and set up an account (at least as much to squat my username as anything else). A few years later and I'm actually using and socialising there, late one night my account starts sending açai berry spam. Because my shit password was shit. (Luckly, they just send a half a dozen spam tweets, and didn't p0wn the account by changing the password/email on me...)

One nice thing about password managers, at least you can search and find all the services you used a shitpassword on, and do an audit of whether you care enough to upgrade the password or delete that service's account.
Right, if you have a good BATNA then you will actually be negotiating and not just bluffing.

I think lots of people get hung up on thinking of business interactions as personal ones, just because they have been interacting with people. Small businesses may act in more personal ways but most larger companies will generally be pretty faceless and make decisions they think are good without bearing grudges because people treated them like a faceless corporation trying to make good business decisions.
The ones that don’t complain have low standards. When I switched, although OSX was pretty solid, it was trading frequently spinning beachballs for the first consistently responsive computer I’d ever used. I had come to regard macOS sluggishness as normal, as do most Mac users, because they haven’t experienced anything better.
Part of this question is whether there is a limit to human cognition that we can leverage to answer increasingly difficult questions. It isn't whether there are still unanswered questions. So this is truly an issue of diminishing resources and exhausted low hanging fruit. One of those resources is human cognitive ability, relative to difficulty of finding new discoveries.

Just as there are true limits to for example pursuing economic growth from burning finite cheap fossil fuels, "growth" in the forms that pertain to the issue at hand... economic, cheap energy consumption, scientific discoveries, human cognitive ability to solve problems..these can all certainly bump up against at least short term limits, and the issue of cost matters greatly in a given time period because even bringing to bear the actual resource we have to develop new science and technology suffers from crowding out if economic "growth" is constrained because of diminishing cheap energy.

This shouldn't be surprising if one conceives of what consistent and steady compound growth even at small rates results in after a relatively short period of time. Inevitable that limits in many inter related areas will be reached...and either a collapse occurs or a long period of low or negative growth happens with all the sort of conflict that entails (competition within scarcity).

And that was a rude reply. You've made no specific claim and cited no evidence, only making broad tautological pontifications about "disease preying on the weak", when the profile of who diseases can target varies considerably like in the above example.

Exactly. Young people can lose their teeth in one instant too, but that shouldn't stop us assuming that older people have less teeth. Heck, even teeth don't care how old you are and can be lost at any age.

Just some quick figures. They purchased 15k homes in Q2 alone. Debt on 15,000 homes with average purchase price of 350k (as a ballpark figure) comes to 5.25B.

There’s a lot of information we don’t have but them laying off huge percentages of staff is a scary indicator. Edit-also note their market cap is about 17B.
Why wouldn't that get results? If you're happy where you are then there needs to be a good reason to move. It's the interviewer/company's job to convince you to move, it's their effort being wasted.

If you're comfortable in your existing job then you are ALWAYS in the commanding seat during negotiations. If they want you then they will need to make an offer good enough. Otherwise you walk straight out and nothing changes.

Also, this isn't something you'd say on the phone. It's what you'd say during the interview, when they can't just hang up on you. You've done the interview, they ask "So, what sort of compensation are you looking for?", then you hit them with that.

If you show a weakness (a job you are actively trying to leave) then you will get lowballed. Showing that you have nothing to lose is a wall they have to scale and puts you in the best position possible for negotiations.

> Wanna record your desktop audio as part of a screencast?

It doesn't have to be a screencast, it's kind of a convoluted process regardless of which operating system you're using [1]. If I'm not mistaken OBS is using the built-in virtual loopback devices available through pulseaudio, but MacOS does not include a virtual loopback device by default, hence requiring a third party one such as Blackhole or loopback.

> ...and often involves shady stuff

...what shady stuff are we talking about here? Blackhole [2] is open source software. It's about as shady as any of the (several) linux audio systems.

Sorry, but that's a tad overwrought.
I think this doesn't quite grapple with the idea of what "The Future" is. Remember that we were supposed to have flying cars in the 1980's, because that's what "The Future" was to people in the 1950's/60's. The problem was that everybody was still thinking in terms of personal vehicles you could drive around, and not flight patterns, traffic control, navigation, propulsion, training, fuel, the expenses of development and production. I think our scripting languages will be basically the same for the near future, if only for the fact that "hand-crafted software" sounds like the development of cars before Henry Ford.
>Back in the 1920's it would have been quite normal for white people to assume that black people (like myself) were inferior. Just because it was normal doesn't mean it wasn't racist.

Not the same. You can't measure inferiority. You can measure activities, time and age.

I am right.

I'm running 12.0.1 and Control Center is using ~65 MB, with an uptime of 12 days. This is on an M1 MBA. What type of machine do you have? I wonder if there's some specific software that causes/exacerbates the issue.
I missed that.

Maybe there is more than one issue here, but Intel users having the same issue on Monterey where they did not have it before seems telling. Maybe M1 machines had a different OS build or features that caused this issue in Big Sur and now it's universal in Monterey?

I'm not sure how I feel about the suicide metaphor, but what _why did what more than just saying he's not going to write more books about X. He actively worked to tear down the character and creations he built, rather than simply opting not to make more. He put enough effort into it that I'm not sure how I feel about this stuff still being hosted, I mean I know it's legal and all, but given his actions I'm not at all sure it aligns with his wishes.

It really does feel like he tried to kill "something".
> I've never seen a well executed car analogy, especially when they use F1 racecars.

An F1-analogue editor would be incredibly fragile, narrowly focused, and demand a huge amount of maintenance.

For the last, both this HN discussion and IIRC TFA offer widely varying estimates as to how much people need to tinker with their configuration files. For the others, only being able to run on one kind of track (absolutely flat ones) would be for an editor to only work for one programming language; spinning and flying into bits at the slightest touch would be for the editor to crash as soon as you type in bad syntax or misspell a variable name; and needing the engine rebuilt after each race and replaced every third or fourth would be... I'm not sure, needing to update to a new version of your editor every three or four weeks?

If Emacs is like any sort of car, it's certainly not an F1 one.
No problems for me with my M1 Mac. Heavy use of compilers, numerical tools (both native apple silicon and some that still need to run under Rosetta), a couple different editors, some specialized analysis tools, and the usual set of desktop apps for day to day work and fun. My workload tends to be pretty demanding of a machine (modeling+simulation where I can soak up every core and bit of RAM available to me). I can’t remember when I had to reboot the machine other than OS updates.
