Amazon distribution warehouse in Edwardsville, Ill. is partially collapsed following the recent AWS outage.

The company said there is still no way to recover and its staff has been in the process of recovering. The company said it will seek to recover the rest of its warehouse, but the outage may take longer. The company is investigating the issue and is working to repair the damage to its warehouse, according to its Twitter account. An unnamed employee was reportedly injured while trying to get out, according to a company spokesman. The company has also offered a discount for its warehouse at 1,300 acres. The outage affected over 4 million people. The company says the outage was caused by a system issue that could have affected the AWS network as well as the local network. The company is also appealing for customers to contact the company directly to get their information.

so basically Bob the pedophile could work with kids and nobody would ever know, until it's too late.

Or Bob the racist could employ black kids from developing country and everyone would be OK with that.

Bit most of all nobody could stop Bob, because nobody knows who he is!

That's a great advancement for society!

Research from the 60s has a relative speed/crash incidence curve. It’s lowest for cars going a little above the median speed, about equally dangerous going either way from that in a U shape.

Some subsequent research affirms this curve, others call it into question. My own, informal read is that the stronger research generally affirms it.

Just like you're creating shell scripts to automate things you do manually more than X times, you can create vim keybindings to do the same. I recommend using something like the "which-key" [0], so you don't have to memorise those keybindings. You press a hotkey in vim, and a window pops up with available commands.

[0] which-key exists for neovim, probably for vim as well. I think it originates from emacs, which I'm purely mentioning because I'm anticipating a response from a triggered emacs user if I don't. :)

There are clear conflicts of interests between an independent press and the press being owned by large corporate entities.

Aside from that, note the revolving door and cozy relationship between the intelligence arm of the government and media:

William Brennan - CIA to MSNBC

James Clapper - NSA to CNN

Michael Hayden - NSA to CNN

Asha Rangappa - FBI to CNN

Chuck Rosenberg - DEA to MSNBC

The above are just a few, and clearly a new flavor of the military/intelligence industrial complex.

Most middle management work is brutal.

Director level is probably the worst - all of the grind but none of the glory.

VP at least you have some power and a lot more money, it 'feels' like something.

I think companies should pay technical people the same as managers up to at least director and there should be at least some parrallel technical tracks right up to the top i.e. Directors have Architects, VP's have Systems/Strategy Architects etc..
That's sort of true in the abstract, but misses the point. Autonomy isn't about "defining conditions", it's about solving real problems. Cars that are L3 only in traffic jams on the Autobahn aren't very autonomous, nor useful. If it's stop go and the system gets above 60kph, it cuts out. If the stoppage is due to construction, it won't work.

I mean, sure, it's an advantage for people who actually need to drive in exactly those conditions.

But it's not a engineering advantage of the system. Fast forward a year and look at where Daimler will be and where Tesla will be. Who's going to get to a L3 system on general roads first? Who's going to be running L4 driverless vehicles first?

Which is to repeat: it's just a stunt. It's a way to "sound like" they're "ahead" in this area of technology, when clearly they aren't. In fact this car is doing more or less exactly what Teslas were doing in the first version of Autopilot more than six years ago. And note that in all that time, those Teslas haven't been hitting anyone in slow traffic jams on well-maintained limited access highways either.
It's a reflex I see a lot when crypto comes up. Instead of refuting any claims of the article (which almost nobody in these comments has attempted to do!), any negative commentary on crypto is dismissed as the self-preservation attempts of doomed globalist elites or bitter people who missed the boat.

If only people applied the same media criticism to crypto trade publications, which are awash in conflicts of interest.
It is true but just like others said, if you don't have ambitions, the junior developer you train will quickly become you boss, have more pay and manage what you do or can't do (and possibly have the power to fire you too).
I'd worry about the licensing too. What open-source license would you publish it under, and do you actually have permission from the owners and everyone who participated in writing it to publish under that license?
I was a developer for 50 years. Almost every other software developer I can think of "retired into management". I was offered a management position 8 times in my career and turned all of them down. Management is a skill that I don't naturally have and can't be bothered to learn.
That's fair, although it's also worth noting we share quite little in terms of neural architecture with even the smartest of insects, and our brains differ in neuron count by something like six orders of magnitude - I don't know of any insect with as many as one million neurons, most being around the 50-150k range, while human brains weigh in at around a hundred billion.

That said, to take this as prima facie evidence that insects are meat robots, the way behaviorists like to do, strikes me purely as motivated reasoning. There's no basis for it - no one yet has established an objective mapping between brain size or complexity and behavioral complexity, nor does this seem likely to happen soon. Ethologists, by contrast with behaviorists, spend most of their research time observing live, active animals in their own accustomed habitats - Jane Goodall, as opposed to that pervo freak Skinner - and it's no accident that all the really interesting results, from individual recognition by facial features in polistids to the likely range and spread of V. mandarinia in the Nearctic, are coming from biologists who take an ethological approach.
Yeah, you are absolutely right, this is why I put it in scare quotes. (I felt that this distinction, though important, was not relevant to the point I was making.)
I don't know what it's like in Italy, but in America bicycles are allowed on almost all roads, except for limited access highways. They're even allowed on most regular highways, to the chagrin of many car drivers. The poor acceleration of bicycles is the worst on roads where frequent stops are expected (for intersections) but bicycles are allowed on almost all of those roads, particularly city streets which obviously have abundant intersections. Limited access highways don't have intersections that would frustrate cyclists, but as a consequence of not having intersections those roads have much higher speeds that cyclists can't keep up with. Furthermore, heavy trucks have terrible acceleration, much worse than cyclists, but are allowed on all of the limited access highways that bicycles are banned on.

Maybe it's different in Italy, but in America the restrictions on bicycles really seem to be about top speed, not acceleration.

How is that inconsistent? Just because it's good to have access to something doesn't mean we want it everywhere.

This goes for a lot of things. It would be a problem if there was nowhere you could urinate, but that doesn't make rules against urinating in the street bad.

It is important that there are places you can't be censored, but that doesn't mean every place should be forced to be unfiltered firehoses. Curation has value. Should every newspaper be forced to platform anyone who sends them an article?

Enforced speech is just as harmful as prohibited speech. People should have the right to choose who they platform.

>at least with our current social assumptions

Recognition of gender outside the binary is the exception rather than the rule, and people all around you make assumptions all the time that you can't correct. It's just descriptive of material circumstances that nonbinary people will face ignorance. We've made some progress, but it's slow.

As a non-binary trans woman, it is absolutely common to have a "fallback binary gender" you'd rather be associated with facing this. You know, for casual encounters, when you don't feel like explaining yourself in detail. Or when accessing trans healthcare, which is often very binary and gatekeepy of everything else (for instance, in Germany you often get denied HRT with F64.8 "Other gender identity disorders", only F64.0 "Transsexualism" is eligible)

Funnily enough, TERFs often want trans people to simply pretend like these conditions do not exist, and that it is their personal responsibility as non-cis people to further gender abolitionism (while they still suggest sex is an immutable super important thing).

Exactly, in fact I'm always surprised so many people still claim GA is better for practical implementations after all these years.

I read about three paragraphs in and then stopped.

Coderpad tests where you're encouraged not to write tests, can't hit the run button, and can't use reference material? Worthless. Most people - not just the author - are going to fail those, and they are not representative of the work environment, so what's the point?

We use Coderpad for one of the 3 interviews we give candidates. We do a tech screen first, then the coderpad, then a panel interview; the author is right in that it's about a 5-6 hour process overall (for the candidate). The coderpad is as much about watching how you go about solving a problem as it is you getting the right answer, although that certainly counts. We want to see if you pay attention to the question and implement what we asked for (not brain teaser 'gotcha!' stuff, simple stuff like "write a function that does ... and returns a boolean" - a lot of people will have their function print an answer and return nothing, or won't write a function at all, or will ignore other key requirements), that you can explain your approach, that you can think of some test cases, and that you can accept help/coaching if you're clearly stuck. We want people to do it in a language they are comfortable with, and looking up syntax is OK.

Overall I'm not sure how much value we get out of coderpad. It's manufactured pressure, just like a whiteboard exercise in an in-person interview. You can tell candidates what I wrote above, and try to convince them that it's not about getting the right answer as much as how you get at the answer, but that doesn't really work. Some people are not going to do well in those interviews regardless of their ability.
For example: The idea that there are many programmers who cannot even write fizzbuzz sounds like a very strong claim. It seems far more likely that there are many programmers who have socially-induced anxiety.
This is something that really irks me about the tech industry. If you don’t move up, you risk getting cut. Management will eventually phase out older developers in layoffs, and replace them with younger, cheaper talent. Big corporations especially. I know way too many developers who Never wanted to be in management, and eventually management became people younger than them, who preferred younger colleagues.

Fascinating that at least according to this video death and dieing appears to be a process instead of an event, even for unicellular organisms. After I learned it was a process, I imagined this was the case only for pluricelular organisms.

We treat it as an event due to cognitive convenience.
This is how I got a job with a bunch of really smart folks in the early 2000s (they were all MIT grads and I was a graduate of a state liberal arts college in NY.) It was several rounds of interviews and a couple of the folks interviewing me (who clearly liked me) warned me that the interview at the end would be the hardest because the interviewer was an old non-nonsense engineer (MIT CS degree and MIT MBA.) It was intense for sure, but I had read somewhere that (as you stated) if you can get them to talk about themselves and engage them: A) they will love you and B) you'll run out the clock. I can't recall how I got him to talk about 'the good old days' of programming, but I did and I don't think I had to answer more than a handful of questions in that hour.

But I don't think that was his intent.

Exactly, there is a point that is pretty clearly "the end of the game". The fact that one can continue playing after that point doesn't make it less of an ending.

I think this is a non story. "Opinion" has a legal meaning. What Facebook is saying with the badge is "we think this post contains false information based on this other fact checking article", and from there they have to argue whether the opinion is protected or not protected, since prefacing "IMO..." does not actually protect you from libel laws. You'll see in the filing the lawyers also argue the actual fact-checking article is "neither false nor defamatory". The second part is important because if you base an opinion on false facts, then it's not protected speech.

No crypto asset is currency or will be currency. They're tradable assets, not unlike Beanie Babies.

And I don't see fiat that way because:

1. I use if every day. It's widely usable as currency, it's inflationary, and its value doesn't fluctuate wildly.

2. Fiat only ever promised to fix the problems with gold, and it did that (in the US and Europe at least). It didn't ride a wave of hype that it couldn't live up to.

3. No one's hobby is talking about fiat. They don't harass me when I say I don't think it's interesting. They don't talk about the world falling apart and fiat plucking us from the ashes.
