“I’d love to work for you because the work is super interesting, and the team sounds great. However, I’m having difficulty finding my way to accepting your offer because doing so would cause significant hardship from taking such a drastic pay cut. I currently have another offer from a company for $99k, but I feel that I could offer greater impact at your organization. Is there anything we could do to make this decision easier for me?”

The collaborative approach is usually the best one to negotiation. People want to help and solve problems, and that includes the recruiter. This hits all the points you made while giving them a solution to the “problem” you pose on a silver platter.
> but the follow-up stat calls to read file attributes (type, permission, attributes, size) are done one file at a time, so there are opportunities for parallelization.

You may expect so but this is usually not the case. Multiple threads submitting stat or other fs ioctl commands to the disk driver are going to be sequenced and may not be threaded.

This is definitely how it works on Windows. Linux is better, but a lot of disk IO is behind the times. io_uring only has read/write so far.

I stayed within the Amiga scene, which means a lot of the picks are demo soundtracks that have that Italo/synthpop kind of style. But there's lots of classics in there, from Jester/Sanity (Germany) to Firefox & Mantronix/Phenomena (Sweden) to Dr. Awesome/Crusaders (Norway) and on. Captain, is of course, Finnish.

There was a time when I used to look at Amazon reviews for help.

Now, I only look at 1-star Amazon reviews to see if there is any meaningful input relevant to my case, and some discussion in Reddit if possible.

Other than that, the whole review space is a royal mess between stupid blogs and weird long YouTube videos.

Devops is relative new term. Back in the days (in the *inx world), there is only system admin, db admin, etc. Personally, the full-stack now really need to know everything development, system admin, and db admin.

An amazing MOD and a really nice write up which brings back memories. I was mucking around with MODs at the same time but never managed to make anything sound as good as what is linked here. In my defense, I didn't have access to pro-level synth, a sampler, or any kind of musical talent.

It really was a time of endless experimentation, everyone had the same basic hardware so anyone who managed to push the limits was regarded with awe.

You can hear my one surviving MOD here[0] if you want to know what the average 16yo on the street could do with a stock Amiga and mediocre grades in school cert music. It really is on the other end of the spectrum from Space Debris in terms of quality.

The problem was that it was politicized hard early on. Now you have roughly a third of the country who’ve been told that public health measures are an unpatriotic plot, and a lot of belligerence had been encouraged. The rhetoric around this made it a very clear party loyalty test and lots of people rose to that challenge.

How many people are willing to admit that they were so wrong for the better part of two years and many thousands of people died who wouldn’t have? That’s very close to admitting that those same people weren’t just lying about one thing.
I am sorry but I just laughed at this. 20 years ago sysadmins used perl and bash to automate everything. Now devs that don't understand OS, networking, package managers, etc, think they will obsolete ops people by writing yaml configuration for a 0.12 version software, looking at its source code and fixing the limitations. May God have mercy on your soul as the hell you have developed for yourself has none.
I agree with the others: Just tell them once that you already have a higher offer that they need to meet - and if they don't bug then stop wasting your time and walk away.

Consider that your problem will also not just be the initial offer. If you are considered above market rate in the company you will never get any raise, and just be stuck with what you originally agreed on.

Genes are not the end all be all to medicine let alone biology. There are places where medicine won't go, such as the delicate structures of the brain. Much too unethical. Neurotransmitters fire across synapses. You will always be uncertain of what temperature or charge you need. No way of telling what's really on the inside. And that's with an incomplete model.

You also can't just zap or plunge in medicine. If you are going gene by gene or protein by protein, yet alone cell by cell, how long is that going to take?

Sure. Use what you know and what you're comfortable with.
In my experience, mainly in the non-tech enterprise space, the classic sysadmin team is allergic to writing code that would require ongoing maintenance. The most they would do is write a throwaway script, or possibly have their own personal set of scripts. But write an actual tool for broader consumption? Never.

It's one of the biggest differences I see day to day in enterprise operations and developer mindsets. Developers generally do not worry about who will support code before they write it, because their entire job is to write code. Operations teams on the other hand want to find an off the shelf tool, with enterprise support, even for what could be a fairly simple task.

Biological Modeling: A Free Online Course
exactly right. the rug was pull out from underneath us and replaced with technology lacking parity.

devops was able to convince the industry that "software engineers own their own infra" is a viable thing to do so they could do engineering work, expect, they're out of their element. That's not their job. devops should be pulling in open-source technology that's developed by real engineers and write tiny packets of glue code to make it work to add value.

Never mind devops teams, I remember when my team had a _BUILD_ team. Serious companies still do this, engineers don't touch production. devops and sysadmins make sure that the business software stays operational, they could care less what it is. their mandate is to make sure it's operational and they hold engineers accountable.

k8s is a terrible experience and a terrible abstraction. I'm not smart enough to do better but I'm smart enough to know it terrible. It's snake-oil. My team is now migrating to the cloud, along with of course k8s, and guess what? the k8s env. in the cloud are to be managed and owned by the software engineering teams, because devops doesn't want to do their job. What a disaster.

at my company, a bunch of devops folks that deployed k8s 80% of the way left soon later to make 2x the pay as contractors at other companies to help them push through their last 80%. This is another reason that there is a lack of parity on the new infrastructure. Unfortunately, everyone is still stuck at 80%. Strange.
Are you suggesting if everyone was vaccinated we wouldn't have variants at all? Or is there some other measure that can prevent variants? I'm not familiar with a public health policy that can do that.
I once experimented with a design that ended up with 30,000 files in a single directory. (It was a dumb experiment.)

I discovered that the ls I as using used a polynomial-time algorithm for sorting the output. Like, it would lock up the machine for ten minutes... Told ls not to sort, and boom... fast.

This was almost 20 years ago. And I don't recall if it was GNU ls or FreeBSD.

There may be some performance improvement opportunities out there for exa.

Wow. I actually just saw [a video from Sabine Hossenfelder](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytyjgIyegDI) about exactly this. Long story short, we don't know if quantum nonlocality is real.

Bell's Theoreom doesn't prove nonlocality. It proves that locality is impossible with statistical independence, that is, the measurement itself affects the quantum system. We can preserve locality if we also accept superdeterminism, which Sabine succinctly puts as, "what the quantum particle does depends on what measurement will take place." We can accept nonlocality and statistical independence or locality and dependence. The former is taken for granted by Bell and many (most?) physicists today but only because the latter "feels" more spooky to a quantum physicist.

The video does the subject justice much better than I can, but the point is that it's not cut and dry!
I don't think there's a contradiction in your example. "Nobody deserves to be rich" seems to be just a moralistic opinion about individual behavior - and perhaps, what they do with their wealth. It's not really a policy prescription, in that it's purely negative, i.e. preventing people from getting rich doesn't necessarily have any relationship with preventing other people from being poor. (See: USSR).

But "allowing people to become rich ... benefits everyone in the society" is, however arguable, a policy position and not a negative judgment on personal behavior. It proceeds from the fact that in every society, ever, wealth stratification emerges; and it accepts that the state has an interest in both allowing some accumulation of capital and in preventing a runaway hoarding of wealth.

So I think you could reconcile these views. Both of your statements follow a consistent, demonstrable underlying argument: That without some intervention by the state, too much wealth will accumulate at the top and extreme poverty will reign at the bottom. From that starting point, your views aren't contradictory; you would be on the side of well-regulated markets. You're not stepping into the fantasy lands where either eating the rich or trickling down wealth will cure poverty.
There's no reason the conquerors have to be the same species. There's a lot of precedent in all known life, parasites, symbiosis and predator/prey relationships are everywhere. Nor does it have to be a personified antagonist, could be climate change, plague, etc. The longer the system goes the more shocks it has to survive.
I have a similar phone, and if I plug it into the wall it works just fine still.
Honest question: Why pick Charlemagne as an example here? The statement “Everyone is a descendent of X” is true for a lot of people who lived around that time and had descendants, no? Is Charlemagne chosen because he was a notable person of that era?
I actually think that it's an issue of company structure. Once you concentrate ALL deployment/operational power to a single DevOps team, you really lose the power to touch individual teams and make human budgets clearly. This is more of a "cost-center" move that implicitly signals that company X needs a single platform and individual requirements are not going to be prioritized.

The same thing with a single DBA or whatever admin team. My dream team structure is a task-force like one. Each team has its own DevOps/DBA. They don't have to be dedicated roles, but someone in the team needs to be well-trained on those topics.

But I guess this model never scales in larger corporations so eventually they all adopt the One X-admin team model.

The phone acts as a familiar medium for new content. You don’t call people with this phone, instead it’s used to hear pre-recorded messages from her friends.

I found this piece extraordinarily insightful, and it resonated with so much I have observed in my own life. I read it from start to finish.
My coworkers think I'm insane, but I do my side projects in C because I find it so much more relaxing and satisfying than what I do at work (Angular and C#). They can't understand why I find C relaxing because they find it terrifying. I just find it so much simpler to work with functions, structs and pointers rather than abstraction chains ten layers deep.

Granted, I'm using it on homemade game engines, which are very amenable to the simple type of code C allows you to write. I wouldn't want to write an HTTP server in it. But for what I build, I find using C to be the equivalent of woodworking, compared to the Ikea furniture I put together at work.
I think anyone that was busy wrapping their phone line around a terminal when a call came in would agree. :)
It depends. Most of the coreutils won't send color if you're piping unless you explicitly tell it to do so. ls is one of those; try --color=always instead of --color=auto, and be sure to use "less -R" on the other side of the pipe.
> Also, roughly 100% of the companies who are asked, "are you about to be disrupted by new technology that you didn't create and is totally different then the way you do things?" answer, "Nope!".

I don't know anything about protein folding or drug development. But you brought up a very good point. Sometimes insiders and experts are the wrong people to ask, because they are not impartial. In the worst case we've seen so many virologists are on a campaign to paint lab leak as conspiracy theory just because their careers at risk. In similar vein it's also not the best idea to ask Wall St. who is responsible for 2008 financial crisis.
Because life and business do not have clear delineations. The rule at my company became never use these communication tools at work: except work for investment bankers is 100 hours a week, except your friends and coworkers become the same people, except business is everywhere, so it's impossible to have a conversation that isn't at least business related when everyone you know wants to talk about the stock market.
I think you’re totally missing the point of this post. But in many countries including the US, POTS twisted pair landlines are still readily available. And I am surprised that at least some parts of Europe don’t still offer it - isn’t ADSL still super common there?
This will never cease to produce laughter in me :)
I don't know what you mean by "audit the message."

Without third-party timestamping or blockchain, the same token can be sold to multiple buyers, and nothing can be used to determine which buyer is the first ("real") buyer.

This is the whole reason blockchain was invented. It wasn't possible to do it at all before that.
Agree 100%. My own biography parallels that of the author, and his insights make perfect sense to me.
No this is actually true. Most stocks do go down (or at least only match much less risky investments like short-term bonds), but the stock market goes up because some stocks go up a lot. This is why all investors diversify. For example, the Russel 3000 Index goes up ~10% a year because they remove bad stocks and replace them with ones that seem better. But, employment at a single company with stock-based compensation is a concentrated bet on that single stock during the employment timeframe.

Funny to see this here. I created scirate years ago when I was in academia working in quantum computing. Back when Digg was hot. When I left that world and joined Google, I shut it down as I needed to spend all my time learning to code (true today as well I suppose). It was then rewritten by others. Twice! And relaunched using the old domain name. Many thanks to the current stewards.

Amusingly it was even more useful to me after I left academia. Scirate’s community is almost entirely theoretical quantum computing, and so I was able to keep up with the field by looking every three months or so at the top papers.

As noted in other comments, the end point of vanity voting isn't great. It's not great at discovery, but I have found papers there I would never have read. But because it is a small community it actually does a good job in quantifying what the community feels is important. I suspect if scirate was ever more widely used it would be less useful.

Another interesting phenomenon is that no one ever precisely defined what voting meant. Some people think of it as endorsing. Others as bookmarking. Not sure what impact this has, but sometimes if you score your own paper people will growl at you.
I noticed there are actually big differences in world building between the first two and the last two books. The interesting thing is that they can be explained away in-universe with time shenanigans and unreliable narrators. Also, I heard a fan theory that argues that Martinus Silenius is a failed John Keats cybrid himself.

I think this the wrong take from the data.

Apple is writing 'more Obj-C' because it's their incumbent language, and they are 'writing a lot more software'. As the basis expands, it's going to expand along the normative vector, which is ObjC.

But for outside devs, Apple has almost frozen ObjC in favour of Swift, and Swift is 100% the future for apps built for iOS/MacOS.

Even externally, ObjC will probably be supported for a 'very long time' and maybe even perpetually at this point, it's really not the future.

Internally, the sands have not shifted, but I suggest that within about 5-7 years Swift will be on even footing with ObjC even within Apple.

So if you're an Apple focused Dev. not working for Apple ... then Swift is probably your #1 focus with a 'Healthy Knowledge' of ObjC - at least enough to access arcane and un-ported APIs as a nice thing to round out your skills.

ObjC is losing popularity, it will be a 'well supported' niche language going forward. You can probably bank on your ObjC skills for a long time to come, but in a more narrow range of opportunities.
Implementing RSA in Python from Scratch
Who wrote those bugs in the first place?
Man does that brings back memories! Back in the 90s, french magazine PC Team offered a CDROM with game demos and tons of random goodies including mods. I listen to them with Cubic Player on MS-DOS which had some cool visual effects. I still have my favourite mods on my HDD, including SPACEDEB.MOD!
>the harm reduction part certainly works.

Certainly? Goals and outcomes are different though. Is there any evidence that SF's policies are having positive outcomes? It seems like all the statistics show it the opposite. Overdoses are up, crime is up--so who is this really helping? The skeptic in me thinks it's a nice way for the government to just give up on people even more but under a kinder veil of "harm reduction". SF is closer to Ancapistan than it is any progressive utopia.
