ive heard a few stories of people getting high value (>$1k) shipped and nobody wanting it returned,. I dont get why there is not an exception policy for high value items. Im assuming these kind of "dont ship it back" policies are due to them not wanting to have to support a return infastructure. but if there is a steady supply of high value item returns/mis-shipments I would think it would be worth it. I think i remember reading that its US law that if something is delivered to you, its yours. maybe they dont wanna mess with that?

I guess I would would love to know why they dont want it back

There are, but a lot of things are hard to peg (either deliberately or just by nature) to measurable indicators. For example, various "Corporate Engagement" types who are building partnerships and strengthening reputations - should they probably be be evaluated based on actually research support brought in? Probably.

Or the canonical example of the Athletics departments in a lot of places, which cost-justify themselves based on alumni goodwill.

The problem is, even then, you know a administrator is bad, not whether or not the position is needed.
It's the rural-metropolitan divide. Often the poor in rural areas are also Democrats. But all those farmers (huge land wealth), car dealership owners, plumbing empire magnates, or trucking magnates, are incredibly Republican.

But rural areas have far less opportunity than urban areas, and the wealthy often pass their empires down to their children, further hoarding opportunity. So even though there is a ton of wealth for a few at the top, there's extremely little opportunity. Urban metropolitans often offer much more opportunity, as well as greater amenities in the form of culture etc.

Any attempt to drastically reduce the difficulty of programming has one of two effects: either it fails miserably, or it works brilliantly and immediately raises the bar of what is expected out of our software. "No code" should be understood in the same vein as COBOL was supposed to eliminate the need for highly trained programmers (per a sibling comment). Obviously COBOL didn't do that, so the question is whether this is a hype bubble or a new incremental step.

Personally, my money is on hype. All the demos I've seen are pretty impressive, but very shallow. Large apps are complicated beasts, and scaling usually ruins simplistic demos pretty quickly. Furthermore they seem to suffer from the same issue that prevented COBOL for making programmers obsolete: defining requirements correctly is very, very hard.

On moving: I've made a BIG mistake (Louis Rossmann)
No way.

There are a couple things going on here:

One is the Washington Economic Consensus. Very significant majorities of both parties have no interest in representing ordinary Americans, labor, populist interests. And to be clear, this means basics: wages, health care, housing, and the like.

Flat out, more Americans struggle every year. More.

The real conflict is class based, and class is simply not discussed well in American politics today. Hasn't been for quite a while.

Calling large numbers of us stupid, and then claiming they are too stupid to be trusted with the national policy debate is completely unproductive.

The second thing going on here is the actions of Reagan and Clinton. Reagan got rid of the fairness doctrine and Clinton deregulated media, both of things things allowing for the massive news networks we have today, as well as the idea of newstainment and one sided national coverage.

There's our struggle over what many believe to be a divided nation, when the reality is that division is quite shallow and would pack one heck of a lot less of a punch had we not allowed big corporate media to gobble news up and produce almost nothing from the labor / populist point of view and what they do publish is partisan, biased strongly for conflict and ratings.

Not being able to see the doctor is not a partisan issue.

Being unable to feed the kids is not a partisan issue.

Tepid wages for decades on end is not a partisan issue.

I could go on.

Until those same media giants got involved and decided they needed to be in first position on the likes of YouTube, far more reasonable voices, all doing much better journalism and less inflammatory commentary were wiping the floor with CNNFOXMSNBC and friends.

It's no contest!

The need for CNN to dominate You Tube, you know because god forbid people actually get some real news and not establishment drivel for profit, is driving a lot of this garbage.

CNN and friends get a ton of dislikes because their product is garbage and tons of people, and in particular younger people, know it! They know CNNFOXMSNBC are not speaking to them, about them, for them at all, and why bother liking that?

Who wants to like the people trying to make the Internet into yet another broadcast type thing?

Not me, and I've pushed that button many, many times hearing raw garbage, misinformation, and more.

That's who this is all about. Establishment, for profit media.

The same media who gets it wrong all the time. The same media who has proven in court it has the right to force it's journalists to lie. The same media brought to you by the same wealthy donors buying ads as we see buying government one election donation at a time.

The idea people are too stupid is an insult and I'm flat out embarrassed to read it.

It's like that last sentence of yours attacked me.

Is there a common framework how to come up with the values (e.g. 99.9%) set as SLOs in the first place?

I currently want to do that for a service built on several cloud services with their respective SLAs and my approach is to go through the combined probabilities to get an effective error rate. That‘s a bottom-up approach.
I‘d combine that we a top-down derivation of what SLOs are required from the business side. If the first number doesn’t fulfill the business requirements with some buffer, we‘ll need to redesign. How do others do it?
Heh. Funnily enough, My partner and I missed an FEX from Gesundbrunnen a couple of weeks ago (it's 3 stations from where we live). Because the transition time b/w S-bahn exit and FEX entry was 1 minute, clearly not enough time to find the correct platform and arrive there to board.

Of course, one guy was prepared and literally _ran_ to the FEX. We walked and then waited 30 mins for the next one to arrive. :)
Not going to lie but all of that just sounds like "demand".
I'm not sure what counts as "really expensive", but I ordered a $1k laptop via amazon and it was shipped with FedEx, no siganture required. (2-3 years ago, southeast US)
Given the existence of a Law School, a Business School, a School of Public Health and a Medical School, this isn't at all surprising to me.

Those generate tremendous needs for administrative support, and won't necessarily see a single undergraduate.
At Amazon's scale, it's not worth it to close the loop on every abandoned delivery worldwide.

I once got a parcel delivered, but the driver was confused as the same tracking number was on two parcels. Amazon had printed an extra label and stuck it onto another package. He just had me pick one of the two.

I picked wrong, and ended up with some window treatments that Amazon refused to collect. I reordered my stuff (which likely went back to Amazon as undeliverable anyway) and that was that.

Amazon just writes it off as a business expense.
Sounds pretty lateral to me. That was already a team.
Did you read "IF ... "
Excel is used because it's understood by business types, not because it's the only thing available. They're comfortable with spreadsheets, it's no surprise that they'll try to solve any given problem they have with spreadsheets.

You see the same thing in reverse, with programmers reaching for Python when Excel probably would've been a better choice. Everyone reaches for what's familiar.

We seem to agree. I'm not saying React's approach isn't justifiable. It is what it is for reasons.

I just don't agree all that complexity is worth when you need to ship things fast with a decent robustness and performance. Specially when you don't have 100s of devs in the project.

I'm just saying that given React vs Rails, for 80% of projects I'd pick Rails+hotwire+etc... But given Svelte vs Rails, I'm more inclined to pick Svelte now, because it is not so complex, for now at least.
It's snarky, but misses the point. The "pod" concept has already been abandoned. The project they're currently working on in Vegas is using Teslas as rented cars.

What clicked it for me was seeing price comparisons between a train and a bunch of Teslas of equals capacity - they're about the same. Yes, subway trains are hugely expensive - either because they need to be, or because it's all government contracts. And Tesla is pretty much a luxury vehicle so we can easily expect an order of magnitude of decrease.
Or maybe you could credit that people can sometimes recognize which urges toward consumption are unhealthy?

I agree the rat race mentality is also bad. But it shouldn't surprise anybody that products engineered to be compelling end up with some people feeling over-compelled to consume.

Oh, come on, you can't be serious. Top schools have previously earned good reputation through attracting the best talent, so their diplomas are worth more in terms of salary expectations. And they are now banking on that reputation to charge as much as they can, while using loosely defined "services" to justify the costs. A fair comparison would be 2 schools of comparable reputation having different administrator proportion and spending structure, but not in this world where the people running them go to the same golf club.

Also "community college" these days is an euphemism for "the cheapest degree one could get that formally counts as one", so it is perceived accordingly.
There are too few details here and your question is too vague.

But I would say that the question is not “can they legally?”, but rather “will they?”. If they claim ownership of your music, and threaten to sue you for it, you’ll probably just give it away, cause paying a lawyer to defend your right and enter a lengthy court battle is not going to be worth it.

Now your employer has nothing to do with music, and sueing an employee over bogus cooyright claims doesn’t look too good on glassdoor. So there’s zero interest for your company to claim ownership of your open source music…

Personally if I were you, I wouldn’t be too worried.
How's the quality of Vosk compared to Mozilla DeepSpeech [1]?

It isn't just Amazon. About a month ago, FedEx delivered several unexpected packages to my house. It was the right street but not even the same number of digits in the house number, so not close to being a honest mistake.

The intended recipient called the cops and FedEx tracked it down. It turned out to be several packages of gift cards, which is super sketchy, but other than a confusing experience with the police, I guess it turned out ok for everyone except maybe the driver.

The book's thesis doesn't depend on the exact number of bullshit jobs. Any of the percentages correspond to millions of people spending their days doing work they consider useless. That must have an impact on society -- surely that's worth digging in to? The majority of the book digs into particular kinds of bullshit jobs and what it's like to do them, which I found fascinating.
What's interesting to me is that Amazon fights very hard if it is their items.

I have only every gotten one package stolen, and it was Amazon store brand Presto paper towels, a value of ~$30. Because it was Amazon brand, I got transferred three times, they flat out said that for their products they need to investigate. They created a case number and had me call back in a week.

Other people I know, and even in this thread talk about how trivial it is for a return. Apparently Amazon only cares about lost packages if they have to actually eat the cost.
The ESLint plugin helps. But it depends on static analysis. And static analysis is fundamentally incapable of taking advantage of any information only available (or more easily accessible) at runtime.

One limitation that pops up fairly frequently in my experience: Only React's first party hooks can get exceptional treatment by the plugin, i.e. the setState function returned from useState can be assumed to never change and omitted from dependency lists, because those cases are hard coded into the static analysis. There's no way for custom/third-party hooks to indicate to the plugin that the thing they return will never change in the same manner, even if all they're doing is passing through a setState function directly from a useState call that will very obviously also never change reference, for instance.

They can probably offer some rudimentary support for this use case with static analysis by offering some kind of exceptions API for the user to spell out the names of the hooks and return values that should get this preferential treatment, like they have with the additionalHooks config option [1], but the DX around integration with third party modules is going to remain a messy unsolved problem.

Language/runtime level support for this pattern would hopefully be flexible enough to know that the thing we returned from our custom hook or third-party hook is fundamentally the same thing as (or shares some runtime property with) the setState returned from a useState hook, and treat it the same way, regardless of what our hook is called or how it's implemented or where it's from.

Unfortunately it sounds like the React team is planning to double down on static analysis to improve hook DX, so this doesn't seem to be an area they'd be likely to invest in. I think that's a shame because static analysis is much more difficult for users to extend and experiment with new paradigms for than runtime abstractions, and will start to stifle innovation in the ecosystem as we come to rely on it for more and more heavy lifting.

[1] Which, by the way, stops working as soon as you deviate even a tiny bit from the assumptions made in the static analysis, in ways that would be completely trivial to infer as functionally identical for any runtime system. The only way to address these shortcomings is to send in a PR to make the static analysis make fewer assumptions (unlike a runtime system which you can usually extend through some clever wrapping if it's just a function), for which YMMV: https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/20051
Have you actually read after the abstract? The study you mentioned is about any spike protein, not only vaccine induced. And you will get a lot mote of that if you get infected.
Also the effect is temporary and limited to the infected cells as these cells are terminated by the immune system or go into apoptosis (as per your study).
There is no human right to live in Palo Alto, but something is amiss when housing in a metro area is so expensive that people making middle class salaries (we're talking around $60K-$100K) find themselves "driving until they qualify" 60+ miles away to places like Tracy, Manteca, and Los Baños to find an affordable place to life. For various reasons, Bay Area governments have decided not to densify to the degree necessary to accommodate all the people who work there, which means that development has sprawled out to the closest far-flung places that are willing to build homes. Sprawl is politically expedient compared to density, even if this sprawl means more traffic on our roads, more money needed to be spent on serving an ever-sprawling metro area, and more money individuals have to spend on transportation. (Admittedly, with more people working from home, the downsides of this sprawl could be mitigated, but not everybody can work from home.)

I reiterate that there's no human right to live in Palo Alto, but companies based in Palo Alto and other Silicon Valley locations who demand that their workers work on-site may increasingly find it difficult to hire people if their housing options are limited to situations that require multiple roommates to bring the cost down to affordable levels, or commuting from far-away areas. If enough people refuse to work in Silicon Valley, then this decreases Silicon Valley's desirability as a place to work, which in turn may decrease the property values there since there will be less demand to live there. The Bay Area has to be very careful not to kill the goose that has been providing it golden eggs.
I think you are confusing a program that is written in one programming language with people who only program in one programming language.

So name some linux kernel programmers you actually know for a fact that they only know and program in one programming language?

I bet I can name a lot more Linux kernel programmers who know and use multiple programming languages.

Have you considered the possibility that most Linux kernel programmers might have also worked on other programs than the Linux kernel (and didn't just jump into the deep end of Linux kernel hacking as their first job) and actually know and use some other languages other than C? Like maybe Bash, or Assembly, or Python, or Lua, or TCL, or Lisp, or C++, or FORTH, or Pascal, or Fortran, or Java, or C#, or Lord forbid even Perl?

Because Linux kernel hackers tend to be experienced, professional programmers, who know and use multiple languages, not monolinguistic amateurs who gave up learning new languages after only learning C, then started hacking the Linux kernel as their first and only project.

Plus JSX is based on a "Virtual DOM", and "Virtual DOM is Pure Overhead":

https://svelte.dev/blog/virtual-dom-is-pure-overhead

>Virtual DOM is pure overhead

>Let's retire the 'virtual DOM is fast' myth once and for all

>Rich Harris, THU DEC 27 2018

>If you've used JavaScript frameworks in the last few years, you've probably heard the phrase 'the virtual DOM is fast', often said to mean that it's faster than the real DOM. It's a surprisingly resilient meme — for example people have asked how Svelte can be fast when it doesn't use a virtual DOM.

>It's time to take a closer look.

>[...great article...]

>Why do frameworks use the virtual DOM then?

>It's important to understand that virtual DOM isn't a feature. It's a means to an end, the end being declarative, state-driven UI development. Virtual DOM is valuable because it allows you to build apps without thinking about state transitions, with performance that is generally good enough. That means less buggy code, and more time spent on creative tasks instead of tedious ones.

>But it turns out that we can achieve a similar programming model without using virtual DOM — and that's where Svelte comes in.
Group learning can still happen even with a 1:1 ratio!
Isn't it actually the opposite? Svelte code is compiled to plain JS whereas React has a large runtime.
This is good. Let them burn cash and shares and time and get swallowed into the giant dud that the metaverse promises to be and hopefully it will implode the whole enterprise.

IMO, powershell got it right. Yeah, it’s syntax is strange, but it has standard flag usage with proper autocomplete, and you can shorten any flag the way you want (eg. fuzzy match) if it is unambiguous.

I don't think we'll see "long distance ubers" as a separate service - you'll just get into one and have it take you an hour away. Which, with proper road infrastructure, will naturally get to be about 100-200 km in less then 10 years or 200-300 later. You don't really need a toilet for that - or if you do, you just make a stop at a gas station, and have it wait or get another.

Remember that Europe is not US - it's pretty much urban space next to urban space, not hundreds of miles of nothing.

And for longer distances you fly (or yes, you get a high speed train)

I could say the same thing about blacks in the cities, not very educated, no contact with white or hispanics or anything except from blacks and yet they vote democrats. Let's admit it, these days there is no correlation between rich vs poor and voting, the rich people in silicon valley mostly vote for democrats.
Democrats have become a coalition party of the cultural and economic elites as well as the subsidized poor. Republicans tend to be the party of the working class.
