> This isn't entirely true.

Yes, my original statement is entirely true. You're offering a poorly sketched basket of theoretical ideas, none of which change the reality that no nation has EVER attempted to add low-observability features to it's military satellites... Mostly because none of the ideas you sketched would actually work, in practice, to effectively hide a functional satellite.

Talking about manuvering propellant is completely beside the point... The US, Russia, and China are all perfectly capable of tracking manuverable spacecraft and satellites, and we all do so 24/7/365.

Think about this, for a minute... Ever since the deployment of nuclear-capable ICBMs (~1961), space has been THE primary delivery avenue for the single biggest existential threat (thermonuclear war) to the most paranoid and technologically advanced nations on earth. Space is where you get nuked from! We have all invested MASSIVE resources into making sure we can detect and track literally anything in space, because it is the single most important battlefield in human history.

If effective low-observability spacecraft were a real thing, don't you think that at some point in the last 60 years, one of these nations would have deployed such a weapon... or addressed the concept in an arms control treaty... Or even discussed it publicly?

If you find some credible examples of anybody discussing low-observability ICBMs, I'd gladly walk this back. But I'm pretty confident that you're not going to be able to.
> so they have no leverage on the hiring discussion.

assuming this is false. The leverage is 1) They do not get to begin to enjoy the value you bring (ie, they push that value generation of some employee out into the future) and 2) You will continue to hunt for a best offer

It is a trick of human psychology to think that future value has no present value.
What about the future increase of .sh? I own one for personal stuff, and it's apparently going to increase from ~40€ to ~73€ which is a bit hard to swallow for personal use.
Yeah, kotlins stdlib for collections is great. Has all kinds of variants of reducing, grouping, filtering, mapping, taking, dropping etc one can think of. Today's solution was to just call the window function.
The increase in processing and networking needed to achieve these neutral-at-best features...why? It's either adding socket connections or polling to every client. It's also not like they can push the same update to every user, because people's front pages are completely different.

In regards to processing, I think I read that Reddit recomputes "materialized views" (or equivalent) on every write. With their old setup, they certainly didn't have to. Nobody would care if the upvote count updated every few minutes. Well now they've condemned themselves to have to update them every few seconds. They also have to add all of the fuzzing they already do in order to combat bots.
> You can't just let that fade away.

A westerner would say that, but it's far more appropriate for Disney than Ghibli. Ghibli will fade away. Miyazaki is an auteur. You won't recreate him.

Austrian economics is essentially a deductive theology; the purpose is to work out the more detailed/complex implications of the basic axioms (both descriptive and, more importantly, prescriptive) that it assumes.
Scalable Docker Compose
I really like docker compose and often use it for private projects, so I am wondering if there is a cloud provider that offers the same experience but with load balancing, replicas, auto-scaling, persistent volumes etc. managed for me.

I personally believe that the government should focus on a shorter workweek rather than minimum wage increases in the near term.

If we shorten the nominal workweek to 36 hours before overtime is required (and encourage this to be in the form of 4x9 or 9/2 * 8):

* Supply of labor will fall, increasing equilibrium pay for everyone

* Everyone's quality of life goes up

* Traffic and environmental impacts from commuting should improve (a little).

* It's a better hedge against automation and outsourcing than artificially increasing the minimum price of labor.
That's what I think. Either no lock method, they're lying, or there's an unknown exploit or backdoor. Either way I'd be interested to know the outcome of this. As a Pixel user it's concerning.

In addition to technical competency I have years of experience in an industry with a strong reliance on teamwork and clear, open communication. I want to work with teammates to identify real pain-points, engineer solutions, and automate those solutions. Consider me if you want an engineer that will be curious about every aspect of your business.
> Setting the size of elements before they load, to prevent the content from jumping all over the place.

This is especially jarring on a phone. Multiple times a day, I see this, and it pisses me off each and every time. Nothing like reading an article to all of a sudden have some image load somewhere (likely not even visible on screen) suddenly cause what you're reading to disappear off screen. And I'm not on a slow connection, either. I'm typically on uncongested wifi connected to fiber when at home, 5G otherwise.

JavaScript in general is so bad, or rather is being used for so many bad practices, that I've disabled it on my main mobile browser. What little good it's used for doesn't out weigh all of the bad out there. I'm tired of malicious ads hijacking the page, either rendering popups or redirecting me somewhere I don't want to go. If a site doesn't render anything useful without javascript (Twitter is a prime example), I typically turn around and go elsewhere.
FWH has exposed how many white-collar jobs were only full-time in the ass-in-seat sense and how many employees should have Professional Meeting Attender as their job title.

I used to be the guy who would champion efficient meeting practices. Now it's the last thing I want given that I can now work-out, make breakfast, do manual labor, etc., while listening to meeting.

4 day work week in grasp you ask ? For many I'd be surprised if they actually did 15hrs of work a week. I'd never hire a full time employee who can work remotely. I'd employ a contractor who has to itemize their invoice.
If everything is on the SD card (as in: it won't work w/o the card inserted), then it will have to come with a card pre-installed. In that case, the average user won't even realize there's a removable card. It's turtles all the way down.
two day work week would be even better...
Communist-era Apple II clones helped shape central Europe's IT sector
I would do 10 hours day for Friday off. Working an extra two hours doesn't put a huge strain as you are already at work or in the work mode. During crunch time I would end up working until 21:00 to 22:00 and I felt it was like exercise in that as long as you don't stop it's not as bad.

You also avoid commute overhead if you work from the office.
Part of the fun for me is that it's kind of like a zen garden, but for buildings. I would love to see people start to populate and let the computer decide what they do and what the buildings are used for based on conditions created by the design of the city.
I get your anger here, but pure punitive measures won't solve this. This is easy to prove in that it hasn't solved any other sort of crime.

One, the correlation between "do a crime" and "do the time" is quite low. Look at the stats for sexual assault (0.25%), robbery (0.2%), and assault and battery (0.3%): https://www.rainn.org/statistics/criminal-justice-system

Even for murder, the US's clearance rate is only about half.

But even if the correlation were somehow perfect, it still wouldn't eliminate it. People just have a hard time believing in the consequences of actions until they experience them. I couldn't count the number of times I've gone through the "ooh fire pretty" -> " ow fire hot" loop in various ways.

So this is thing where we need defense in depth. We need solutions in criminal law and civil law and provider regulation and product design and user education and culture shifting. Each one of those will be fallible, but each one will bring the rate down. With enough work we can at least make the bad outcomes rare.
> It’s not an “or” proposition.

I agree, but I’m confused; I didn’t make an or proposition, and you followed that statement with one. We can realistically deal with privacy problems using laws, and we cannot realistically ever expect people to never repair devices that have private information on them. Right?

There’s also an unfortunate environmental downside to suggesting that people avoid repair.
Thank you once again for revealing hidden gems. That rom shot is lovely.
That would depend on how and what you can feed it? Say if you'd got a backend for something like LLVM, which emits the µOps directly, thereby circumventing the instruction decoder, if technically/architecturally possible at all. Instead of going through the instruction decoder.
You and everyone else "working from home."
As with all things, it's about trade-offs. As much as I dislike this company for its policies towards time off and butts-in-seats[0], I am not on-call and am never obligated to answer my phone outside of work, no one bats an eye at me taking a few hours to make an appointment every now and then, I don't hate my manager or coworkers, and generally little is expected of me which suits me fine because I haven't found IT work fulfilling for at least 5 years.

Your description sounds good for the students but probably bad for the teachers w/r/t pay. Is that accurate?
José Valim (creator of Elixir) will be streaming his solutions on Twitch. Thought that might be interesting for you.
Thanks for the response! I have a few more questions if you have the time:

If I'm reading the article correctly this feature is only available for authenticated users? Is that restriction based on scaling or some other limitation?

When I looked at the example query in the article it only queries the primary key, does this also work for tables where the GRANT hides certain columns from different users?
EU wants to ban the word 'Christmas'
My go-to approach is to insert jobs into a queue table, and then have backend workers that consume items from the queue. This has a number of advantages:

1. Faster user experience, the user isn't waiting for the business logic to complete, inserting in the queue should only take a couple of milliseconds.

2. It's more secure, the web worker can have minimal privileges (INSERT only on the queue table) but the backend workers can have much more privilege because they are not user facing.

3. You can scale the web workers orthogonal to the queue workers, as they'll likely have very different scaling properties.

Supabase also has a WAL decoding tool called WALRUS that I have not tried yet, and that could be the most efficient approach going forward. The tradeoff with queue tables is that the tables are persistent and a bit more resilient to failure/retry.
I think your statement "those people that deny scientifically validated claims (like climate change or the efficacy of vaccinations)" pretty much sums up why the general populous is done with "Trust the Science".

When you push wildly experimental things by calling them "Vaccinations", when they do not confer immunity (!) but primarily reduce symptoms, and hence are not a "public good" (protect the at-risk unvaccinated population), but are a "personal good" (reduce your individual risks) -- it is, in fact, you that are destroying the credibility of public vaccination programs! People aren't stupid. Avoiding a potentially risky genetic treatment that doesn't confer community protection, when I believe effective treatments are available, is sound logic.

Likewise, creating artificial markets that penalize highly efficient, clean and non-murderous producers of hydrocarbon products (ie. Canadian), while simultaneously giving a complete pass to murderous and polluting regimes (China, Middle-Eastern) is repugnant. A "solution" which is this terrible is not acceptable, and hence will be rejected (eg. by people, for example, that don't agree with tossing gays off roof-tops or harvesting organs from undesirable people groups)

So, until "those people" who conflate rejecting insane non-immunizing experimental treatments with denying "vaccine efficacy", or conflate rejecting ineffective transfers of wealth from law-abiding oil producers to murderous polluters as rejecting "climate change" -- we're not going to reach agreement on "trusting the science".
> If it's non-fiction and a long time ago, you find that most people can't remember much of anything, and certainly not any dialog.

It's unclear to me whether you're applying this statement to Kernighan's Unix history, which I haven't read, but he's given some good talks on the matter in recent years that serve as counterexamples to the notion that he doesn't remember anything.

Whether he knows enough to write something that's compelling... I mean, seriously, I don't even know what it would take for a history of Unix to be compelling. I see that your book is a historical novel. Maybe that's the way to go.

> K&R was a real masterpiece.

He has written a number of very good books.

(It occurs to me that the guy is in his late seventies in addition to working without an editor, but I'm not going to jump to any conclusions about the writing without looking at the book)
You need both: A minimum wage ensures a wage of enough income someone can pay for basic needs (housing, food, health, etc) and ratcheting down the work week distributes productivity gains of capital to workers in aggregate. The former is, arguably, more tenable politically at the moment ("Fight for $15" and so on), the latter likely in the future as the electorate (and the beliefs around work and its contribution to someone's identity) evolves. Increasing the minimum wage would also lift ~20 million people out of poverty (at the cost of about 1.4 million jobs) per the US CBO [1] [2] [3].

TechChange | Software Engineering and Design | Remote | Full-time | https://www.techchange.org

Founded in 2010, we are a social enterprise that works with the leading nonprofits and government agencies around the world to build intentional virtual learning and convening experiences with participants from every corner of the world.

From delivery of an online series of courses on COVID-19 response for front line healthcare workers to powering the largest human rights and tech conference in the world (RightsCon), TechChange contributes to some of the most innovative and important (virtual) conversations of our era.

We are hiring for multiple positions. Our stack is full stack JavaScript with React on the front-end and NodeJS (Koa/Express) and PostgreSQL on the back-end. We have a small but mighty team that appreciates the durability of tried and true technologies, but aren't afraid to explore new approaches when necessary.

Instead of algorithmic challenges for interviews, we focus on testing skills you’ll use in your day-to-day such as database, API, and UX design. We are looking for people who want to be part of a mission-driven organization pushing the boundaries of what's possible in online convening.

It's worse than that. For many years, "Googly" has been in use as an adjective to describe culturally appropriate behavior at Google. I cringed in disbelief that anyone could use that term unironically every time I heard it, and sometimes that was multiple times a day.
The security salary ranges are outstandingly low.
The whole idea that our lives should be divided into seven days chunks always seemed strange to me. If I'm "in a flow", 5 days is too little for me – I almost force myself to switch to "weekend mode". And two days of weekend is too short – I can't travel to anywhere, I can't switch so something else that requires another "flow". Basically, 5-2 cycle gives you sense of having some personal time without giving you any personal time.

Probably 10-4 or 10-5 would be more healthy and liberating in some sense.

I haven't taken a position which required more than 32 hours a week since 2016. The trick is that I've gotten everything through word-of-mouth networking where my reputation made bargaining down the hours feasible.

Our biggest hiring institutions (e.g. LinkedIn) for the most part don't provide a way to specify that you are only willing to consider "full-time but not 40+ hours". So I indicate "part-time only", but I still tend to get recruiters who ignore that and ping me for 40+ hour jobs.

The four-day workweek will be within our grasp when we can actually specify it in a job search.

> That's a good point. You can agree that its within the federal authority to mandate vaccines, but it really should be a decision made and explicitly endorsed by elected representatives rather than some agency (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) that I have never heard of until now and whose head is appointed by one person.

Are you aware that Federal regulatory agencies are a result of Congress delegating their power, mostly to the executive branch? Congress has already delegated their authority…
You got the premise wrong, not the phrasing.

With firecodes what they are today, a bomb is a more comparable danger to what a fire was 100 yrs ago, anyway.
Depends on the definition of "job". There's more to gainful employment than office work or trades like plumbing. One doesn't need directly relevant formal education to, say, rehab and flip houses. There are all manner of businesses that can be started and run successfully with a bit of intelligence and hard work.
We would love to and we are always striving to get as close to wholesale as possible but we do have operating costs — domains are essentially our core business and we have 1,000+ CS agents + a large risk/abuse team that works around the clock to focus on the customer experience. Anyone who is selling domains with no markup at all is taking a loss in some form and/or treating it as a loss leader for other products.
