HDR for one thing. It took years before we got proper Optimus support, and it will probably take just as long to get HDR support. Having to use the command line is another problem. And poor support for HiDPI and multi-monitor. And the lack of a standardized stable platform for application development. LSB tried and failed, and now Flatpak and Steam looks like the best hope. Of course, that goes far beyond a DE, but I hope System76 will push for improvement.
You can try to meter your exposure, but...

Well, I think one of the real dangers of social media, and its algorithms, is a similar danger to society that gambling represents.

Gambling payouts are precisely timed to dopamine chemistry in the typical human brain. They have tuned it to that level of fundamental biochemical reaction. That's something that is refined/tuned over decades of focused development.

Let's look at sugar sugar everywhere. Foodstuff companies are doing the SAME THING. Decades of refining the precise amount of sugar (which is absolutely addictive) they can slide into foods to expand people's excessive consumption. Decades of precise biochemical studies, A/B studies, etc.

Marketing has for decades tried to refine certain social psychology with varying degrees of effectiveness to prompt irrational consumption of whatever they are pushing. They've been effective, but I'm can't say that the marketing industry has ever found a "silver bullet" of biochemistry.

But I do think that social media has formulated a social psychology addiction silver bullet. And I think this one may be more pernicious than sugar or gambling or opium. This one can be used for propaganda, not just reliable production of subservient consumer/addicts.
Everybody seems to like to accuse you of secretly being brainwashed if you say you like something they don't. Honestly, what is so different about being on here and being on Reddit, for instance? It's the same thing.
The lesswrong community has discussed this at length, though I think that the value is reduced somewhat by them refusing to release any transcripts of their simulated attempts (where a human pretends to the the AI and someone else is tasked with maintaining containment).

> it should be considered perfectly acceptable to signal that you don't want to stay engaged in a conversation

I learned the perfect trick as a small time person of interest at tech conferences. You say “Okay thanks” and walk away.

At conferences you can even go one better and say “I’m gonna go talk to that other group” and walk away.

Signal intent, leave. Works like a charm.
Seems like on the frontend side everyone requires React.

Weird thing is that there are many devs who "know React", but have no clue how to play outside of that sandbox.
You are out of touch with the reality of modern economics. Your advice reads like a brochure from the 1920s and is flat out bad.

You’re essentially saying strip social services and become isolationist. Neither of which does any good for the economy or citizens.

> philosophy has stricter standards, not looser, than the rest of science.

Really? Which are those? To me it seems that philosophical standards for a sound model of reality are coherence and persuasiveness of its argumentation, whereas for science is experiment predictability. I’d say either science is stricter (because it requires prediction) or at least that we have a poset of standards (if you argue that science does not require coherence, and enables conflicting models as long as they enable to predict successfully) and neither can be called stricter.

>philosophy has stricter standards

"Stricter" in what sense?

There's plenty of philosophy that is absolutely crankery built atop absurd premises, but it sounds like you're "no true Scotsman"ing that away.
That doesn't really follow. Companies are run by people, and people have a bit of a history of doing unwise things, often repeatedly.

I would suspect that it probably offers some reduction in casual piracy around release time (as compared to a game with no DRM that you can install anywhere you want as many times as you want with no need to work around anything), though that's probably hard to measure since there's no control group for AAA titles - most of them have some sort of DRM.

The downside is it probably causes significant damage to customer goodwill and willingness to buy future titles, but from the companies' perspective, that's both really hard to measure and it applies to financial results for future quarters, not this quarter, so it might as well not exist.
I agree to be honest.

At my day job, I also handle our security enquiries, and we're very dilligent in following them all up, but most are quite low quality, and fairly spammy as you said.

What we've done to try and cut it down, is we link to a hacker one bug bounty that excludes a lot of the low quality stuff as out of scope, and that seems to cut down on the low quality ones.
I live partially in Germany and Portugal, as I have roots in both country. You are right, the average salaries are a joke and the living costs are sky rocketing. However, you have a great and stable society, a really specific market, good universities and sometimes I think what is missing is initiative. The young people prefer to go abroad than try to innovate in Portugal. For example, almost all disrupting startups in Portugal are lead by Brazilians. Sometimes I have the impression that we all forgot about our resilience (well described by Camoes and Pessoa).

Did you do any internships during your Master's program? That's one of the things I always recommend to people learning to program, and from talking to undergrads, that's where a lot of the real job-specific learning happens. It seems like that's where a good balance of theoretical (from classes) and practical (from industry) often comes from.

I think this does bring up an interesting point about the current state of training/education in CS for those that are looking to transition into the field. It seems that schools are marketing their Master's and certificate programs towards people breaking into the industry, but it's hardly a direct mapping from CS classes to practical, on-the-job skills (creating the niche that boot camps have worked to fill). Furthermore, these programs are often money makers for the school, especially if they're fully-online programs, which scale much better. This adds an interesting side incentive to getting paying students in the door.

Is there an intangible value of having a degree on your resume? If there is, or at least if there's a perception that there is, it seems like it's still driving this small part of the academic industry.

Caveat that I'm currently finishing up my CS Masters w/o a CS undergrad degree while working full time and have many opinions about this.

Zillow issued $4bn corporate bonds that they only have to pay 2% on annually while they pay it back over 10 years. This is way below their annual revenue which was already $2.7bn annually. The bonds were for the expansion of Zillow Offers, but based on their prior revenue. And now, they are trying to sell a bundle of homes for $2.8bn all at once “at a loss”, with no information about the percentage of loss. -5%? -25%? Does anyone else see that it doesn't matter even if it was 100% loss which it clearly isnt?

People out here acting like this is the great financial crisis they’ve missed 12 years of alpha just waiting for.

Yeah, I don't agree with several of these "assumptions" and it def sounds like an engineer protesting that somehow their multiple experience is obviously a qualification for any job they think they can do.

> Much of the job involves tasks unrelated to writing $TECHNOLOGY. True but doesn't negate the point that you want previous experience. Also think the OP is exagerating the other work that most of us do

> Engineers who already have experience can often pick up new ones quickly. Common statement but again, fairly obviously wrong. Are you telling me that just because you know "stuff" that if I wanted someone to do e.g. Elasticsearch, that they could create production-quality work in a short time? How long does it take in real experience to get good at these things? DOes generic experience help? Almost certainly, that much? Not compared to someone who has already produced decent quality e.g. Elasticsearch

> Experience with different paradigms can make them better at writing all kanguages. Completely disagree. Writing Java, C#, F# etc. is VERY different, much more than the superficial similarities. Again, I could learn Java more easily with C# but still not be as good as someone who has written Java already.

> An engineer with other experiences might help you consider future alternatives. And conversely, they might steer you towards what they are comfortable with even if it isn't a good fit.

> You might not be using it in the medium/long term. No. But I'm using it now and my devs might not even be working for me in a years time so why choose someone who might be useful in the future over someone who can do stuff now?

> May not be something that many people have experience of. Maybe not but that is a different issue.

If I cannot find people with the experience then maybe I will have to employ somebody that doesn't have such a matching skillset and maybe it will work. Otherwise, I will definitely start with people who have cut their teeth on what I am using and don't have to learn all of those, "yeah, that doesn't work in C#" things.

Thank you for this comment. This article and some of the comments here have made me enormously uncomfortable.

There are serious double standards where if privileged people do it, it's wise/clever/smart. If poor people do essentially the same thing, they are morally depraved abusers for wanting money.

The phrase "fake it til you make it" comes to mind here. For privileged people, that approach is celebrated and encouraged. Here, it's being maligned in a way that strikes me as classism.
The 10A says "for anything not mentioned previously in the constitution, it goes to the states". So when you say "I can't find where public health is mentioned in the constititution", well then there's your answer as to why it goes to the states.

The issue for those wanting to make it federal is to try to explain that it's some manifestation of interstate commerce, roads, or the other powers explicitly given to the Federal government in the constitution. It's not the requirement of the states to show where the constitution gives them some power. It's only the job of the Federal government to find the text where they get some power. If they can find such a text, then yes, they get supremacy. But if there is no explicit text, it goes to the states.

I recently proposed an idea to create a new data transfer protocol that involves drones to carry data in a medium with a prong attached to them.

When the drone lands on a platform atop a building, the prong connects to a computer connected to the platform and sitting inside the building triggering a mount action.

The data gets transferred to the computer. Now, whoever needs to transfer data from this building to another will use the same method to upload it.

I do not think this will be the best way to move data but if a protocol is in place it could be used as a basis for future intra-campus data movement.

The proposal was shot down. A schematic of the idea is drawn here: https://github.com/ketancmaheshwari/datadrone/blob/main/sche...

Can we create decentralized library (catalog) protocol, so it can't be taken down? I'm thinking about libgen/sci-hub/whatcd(RIP), but entirely decentralized, protocol-based. We already have basically all necessary tools: BitTorrent/IPFS to distribute files, magnet links to link them, DHT to discover peers. We just need to combine them together in a smart way and maybe add some bits of missing functionality, like:

- categorization and search;

- voting for every entry;

- maybe reputation system. Where peers regularly publishing good, high quality content get their 'karma'[1] upvoted. So when downloading you can choose people with higher reputation. Or when building catalog of materials in certain area of interest, you can filter only peers with certain threshold karma.

- incentive for peers to keep seeding whatever they downloaded at least until achieving certain ratio (say, 2:1). Maybe by rewarding with 'torrent tokens' that you can spend on downloading, commenting etc.[2]

- comments to every entry (published torrent). With means to combat spam, insults, irrelevant stuff etc. E.g. with voting system, where comments with, say, -3[3] votes become collapsed. Or/and with aforementioned 'tokens' that you spend when comment.

- personal blacklists to block people whose torrents/comments you don't want to see.

Maybe I'm reinventing the wheel here and something similar already exists, but for some reason not popular (since I never heard of it)? In that case we need to figure out why it didn't shoot and fix it to make it work.
