Mayer posted an apology last night taking full responsibility. Hardly throwing his student under the bus.
This is actually great advice, though Im very bad at shitty work, i need hyperfocus and challenging task to feel good about the job :(

But I wonder if there are companies who understand that 250k developer is not even close to 2 125k developers, but can be much much more valuable asset with proper management.
It has a more dangerous risk profile than the previously accepted vaccines. Our medical system should be guided by informed consent not coercion.
They meant the number of healthcare workers leaving the field due to vaccine mandates was negligible.
Agree with the conclusion of the article that both C++ (mutable/const_cast) & Rust (interior mutability) to hand-wave certain properties they vouch for to enable performance/flexibility.

I guess Rust is better behaved in this regard to ensure that they do not violate invariants in case of types like Cell/RefCell/Mutex, but indeed the design of the language itself caused all these problems for Rust. Because the raison d'etre for Mutex is to share something between threads and calling a lock on it must mutate it, but the language does not allow mutable instances to be shared.

Essentially Mutex is a paradox in Rust, which cannot be implemented but for unsafe.

>>Resident Welfare Associations are now legally obligated to feed and look after stray dogs in their neighborhoods.

The best way to stop stray dog menace, just stop throwing food/organic waste on the streets.

Stray dogs quite literally survive on this, and I remember my childhood stray dogs used to be all pervasive during the days of corner garbage dumps here in Bangalore, now that we have garbage picking up waste from homes in most areas, they are almost non existent in those areas.

Take away their food, they go away.
Nope, I'm still stubbornly dismissing it every time it appears! It's been several months now, I think, and AFAIK nothing bad has happened as a result.
Yes this is one of the main benefits of having military type orgs available even if not in conflict - you have a group of proven competent people, trained to execute orders that you can deploy into a variety if situations where people power is useful/important. The British Army were used for the 2012 Olympic as marshals etc as G4S messed up the preparations.
Don't act on assumptions, verify.
BS cite your source. Coincidently staff shortages after vax ultimatum? Really? The mandates did it 100%. They admitted it in my State. The vaccine is a full on failure. More death and cases than when there was NO vax. That's irrefutable proof. Now repeat the prayer "pandemic of the unvaccinated" maybe your god will reward you with letting you hug your children. Don't forget the full blown nuremberg code violations, civil war, and showing papers for enjoyment of "freedom".
But that 2% of 10% are not standing in a line all holding hands. It's clear the vaccinated are readily spreading the disease around and yet the reward is greater freedom for them to spread it? Why do we not still care for the unvaccinated regardless of their reasons or situations for being so?

The vaccine is clearly not protecting that group (the original reason for mandates), and 'preventing deaths' vs the unknowns around long term vaccine outcomes (we're all just assuming nothing serious at present) and the increases in stresses and illnesses driven from lockdown, restrictions and mandates are creating a toll that we seem happy to assume is always less than the direct covid toll and therefore acceptable.
Makes sense, with the situation that if the student includes the note then they are not penalized.

It's pretty important to be able to recognize if you fat-fingered a calculator and got something ridiculous or not.
This is a curious pattern and interesting to think about.

Jumping to the conclusion that it is caused by more female writers is a bit silly, though. Were there also more female writers in the early 19th century?
A lot of these nurses will not go back, pay raise or not. Sister gets inundated with offers 2x to sometimes 3x her current pay, but she'd rather avoid the stress. Many of her former coworkers have also moved on.
Quicker explanation of how Youtube is doing it is at the source code of pytube: https://github.com/tfdahlin/pytube/blob/bb890af3b271a616bbe1...

This is linked from the description of PR 30184 of youtube-dl but @varenc linked to a specific comment (talking about patching Windows builds, AFAICT) which might confuse some people.

I'll even save you the click:

> YouTube's strategy to restrict downloading videos is to send a ciphered version of the signature to the client, along with the decryption algorithm obfuscated in JavaScript. For the clients to play the videos, JavaScript must take the ciphered version, cycle it through a series of "transform functions," and then signs the media URL with the output.

There are still a lot of things I don't understand here but gotta give Youtube a slow-clap moment for their devious ingenuity.

That's high enough that it would be difficult to find alternatives to FAANG

and some of them may accept remote or not (highly uncertain), employees are certainly pushing for it but may be difficult to justify the high salary without coming to office in the future when things start getting back to normal
I moved everyone to Signal, I just keep WhatsApp to inform the lone straggler that will contact me of the move.

It's actually not faster than the current modern UI for me.
Everything in Tailscale is Open Source, except the GUI clients for proprietary OS (Windows and macOS/iOS), and the 'coordination/control server'.

this is confusing. is the "control server" proprietary? is that headscale?
I'm near Dayton, Ohio. We had lots of protesting back in August by self-proclaimed medical personnel who were unhappy with vaccine mandates. How many of these people were actually medical personnel, and how many actually quit due to their opposition to the mandate isn't clear, but the feeling I was left with was that a significant number of local medical personnel were unhappy with the mandate.
That's less of an issue. If it has to do with a client. Keep it on the official medium. The more interesting bit is how to balance regulated comms with labor organization.

Now you're looking at 3 phones. Which is why this entire drive to have records of every comm is smelling of overreach; but again, with financial crime, the only way to stamp it out is following this type of draconian paper trail practice.

I don't see a non-paimful solution here except potentially those who work in the financial sector agreeing to be bugged, and even then, if they're just going to get fined anyway...

I don't know. It just doesn't seem that hard to keep client related comms to official channels.
Only real deadlines so far were for getting demos ready for trade shows. Everything else has been wildly flexible. At least we get to take the time to deliver quality. :)
This one came with political side effects.
is this 9 out 10 stat real ? Where i live, govt has tried to spread those numbers, but they were actually incorrect:
That 9 out of 10 number they talked about was actually the chance of ending in hospital if infected depending on vax or not ( aka : you're 9 times more likely to end up in hospital if you're not vaxed)

But hospitals were actually in majority filled with vaxed people.
Go work for Meta (other MANGA companies would likely work but I'm not as familiar with them). Meta is shooting to have a significant portion of their workforce be remote over the next five years so they're pretty much always willing to offer full time remote. As someone working remote, I can say their location-based pay adjustments really doesn't scale to local cost of living (in a good way). Plus thanks to all the bad publicity they're struggling to fill roles.

Note: I'm talking about working remotely in the US, if you want to be remote from a different country Meta may not work for you.
Because some people have already had COVID, received natural antibodies as a result, and are relying on time-tested science, logic, and intuition in their personal decision to not also get a set of shots + [x] boosters so they can be “safe”. By the way, do me a favor and solve for x in the above equation! And solve again a year from now. And again 5 years from now.
You do have a point, but i also recall some of the older phones also being fragile back in the day. If i recall correctly, the first mobile phone that i had was a Nokia 5110: https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_5110-7.php

From the outside, it looked like it should be pretty tough, yet when it fell off of a table and on the floor (not even hardwood, i think it was linoleum), it just straight up died.

I bet that the thicker plastic frames of those old phones still absorb impacts better than most of the modern thin ones, yet a proper rubberized frame/case will almost always be even better.

Plus, IP68 (which was described in IEC 60529 in 2001, a few years after that first phone came out) now being available in consumer hardware at an affordable price point is pretty nice!

So it's mostly a matter of supporting the manufacturers who create the devices that you actually want. Maybe shopping around for a phone with a removable battery AND the aforementioned ruggedness would be a good move on my part.
The only reason this disease was such a big issue was because hospitals were constantly operating on slim margins in the first place with ICUs regularly filling up in winter. How about some breathing room for all involved?
Thinking of smart ways to bullshit around free day of work is also a job — because you re thinking about the shortest path of delivering something.
Wikipedia defines a vaccine as "a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease."

It's not currently possible to be vaccinated, and calling our current treatment a "vaccine" is incorrect.
On August 15th, 1971 (50 years ago) US President Richard Nixon declared that the ‘gold window’ was closed. The era of the convertibility of the dollar to gold was over, and the system that had been agreed upon by the victors of the war at Bretton Woods in 1944 collapsed: the regime of fixed but subject to periodical reviews exchange rates had lasted a quarter of a century.

Jeffrey Garten, Bill Clinton’s former Undersecretary of Commerce for International Trade and managing director of the Blackstone Group and Lehman Brothers, is now a historian who has written about Nixon’s decision. He recalls that the turnaround came at a time when the amount of dollars in circulation in the world was four times the amount of gold held in reserve, inflation was rising, Washington was withdrawing troops from Vietnam, and Nixon, the month before, had announced his visit to Beijing, a historic event.

In 1959, the economist Robert Triffin had explained to Congress that there were "absurdities associated with the use of national currencies as international reserves" and that the contradiction was an "built-in de-stabilizer" of the national monetary system. The end of convertibility did not eliminate these "absurdities"; instead, it removed the only limit its creators had provided: the gold standard.
I think its a combination of software and prototyping from what I've read about origami artists. (software like Treemaker [0] for making crease patterns etc)

(Not an expert though)
That line of thinking would turn us all into the unabomber. Not that that would be a bad thing per se, obviously…
What prevents companies from raising prices?
Yes, the coordination/control server is closed source, and runs on Tailscale's servers.

Headscale is a 3rd party, open source, self-hosted, replacement for that piece.

Insecurity shuts down rational thought. Lew and order only works where insecurity exists.

Insecurity gets you unelected.
thank you for the pointer. I was actually looking into this. Was wondering if rust gets transpiled to C, or just compiled into assembly. I was also curious what MCU architecture supports this and was very happy to see ESP32 is getting supported soon.
I'm not sure (honestly I don't understand the space well enough) how IDF, the OS for esp32, gets incorporated with a Rust program.

I'd love to also hear more from OP the business side of this venture. OP if you can read me, I'd love to talk!
How about 4x, 5x, or 6x pay? I would throw my own hat in the ring for $800k/year.

The job is not hard in the sense that only a few people in the world possess the capacity to do it.

Society needs to decide what it values more - quality bedside care in hospitals to people that cannot afford to pay out of pocket, or paying people a lot to sling spreadsheets to each other from the comfort of their home.
If you are worth 250k companies find you. I used to get companies calling to offer work because I was able to prove my worth and have companies refer me to other companies.

Harder for you to put a number on your head and try to convince anyone you are worth it.

Just proves that NFT doesn't even solve the only use-case that it's intended for by the fans:

On the contrary it seems...

The only thing I would be surprised with, is that anyone would actually be surprised by this.
> It's clear the vaccinated are readily spreading the disease around and yet the reward is greater freedom for them to spread it? Why do we not still care for the unvaccinated regardless of their reasons or situations for being so?

Because they chose not to be vaccinated. Why should I limit myself when I have a very small risk after vaccination to protect someone who chose not to be vaccinated, for whatever reason?

> The vaccine is clearly not protecting that group

And that is their choice. What more is there to discuss?

> Reviewing all of the source code for log4j is not a walk in the park.

Traditionally if something is too large to audit then you shouldn’t use it, which few exceptions (like Linux). Maybe this should be a red flag in the future, especially for a logging library that can almost be replaced with a call to stdout and a log collector.
Thanks for that feedback - the product is basically ready to go, the reason for Kickstarter was to get pre-orders to get enough capital to pay for a larger manufacturing run. Of course, it's quite possible to take pre-orders without using Kickstarter, so that may be a better route.

> Return values

> A scalar return value that can fit into 64 bits, including the __m64 type, is returned through RAX. Non-scalar types including floats, doubles, and vector types such as __m128, __m128i, __m128d are returned in XMM0. The state of unused bits in the value returned in RAX or XMM0 is undefined.

> User-defined types can be returned by value from global functions and static member functions. To return a user-defined type by value in RAX, it must have a length of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits. It must also have no user-defined constructor, destructor, or copy assignment operator. It can have no private or protected non-static data members, and no non-static data members of reference type. It can't have base classes or virtual functions. And, it can only have data members that also meet these requirements. (This definition is essentially the same as a C++03 POD type. Because the definition has changed in the C++11 standard, we don't recommend using std::is_pod for this test.) Otherwise, the caller must allocate memory for the return value and pass a pointer to it as the first argument. The remaining arguments are then shifted one argument to the right. The same pointer must be returned by the callee in RAX.

Isn't this what https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/9998#issuecomment-9970... claims to be undocumented?
I'm not endorsing the site, but if you want to know why people aren't getting vaccinated you have to engage with them:

I have heard a lot of vaccine injury cases from more reliable sources as well. Additionally, the long term side effects of mRNA vaccines aren't known at all.
From what I've read the hospitalization ratio between vaxxed and not tends to mirror the death ratio between the two. Within ~10% or so. E.g. 9:1 might become 8:1
As the author of that article, I bet I meet that bar as soon as one of my posts gets on the front page of Hacker News, very easily if I post multiple articles which ended up getting popular like I have this month.

I haven't seen many "a truly free market would fix this" comments lately. Seen a whole lot of "we need more regulation" comments though.

I wonder if the race to the bottom is inherent in free market or if there's a truly free market solution to this issue with hospital staffing.
Abolish civil forfeiture. Limit qualified immunity for all government employees especially police and prosecutors. Pardon Snowden, Assange and Daniel Hale etc.
Remove the absurd restrictions of the Treasury regarding KYC and AML thus lowering the costs for the poor to be banked. Cut back on the sprawl of over 800 foreign military bases. Stop economic sanctions as a weapon against poor countries. Stop meddling in other countries affairs. Strengthen following the UN and its laws. Eliminate illegal activities like the surveillance state. Save money from the 1.25 trillion national security budget and spend it on Medicare for all. Remove a lot of the rules and regulations and onerous compliance on startups and smaller companies. Change federal procurement rules that currently favor the large elite companies and the entrenched. Limit the effects of bribery, corruption and "lobbying" in setting government rules and regulations.

Windows uses its own calling convention. I'm sure COM win32 headers have no shortage or atrocities, but this post here is just saying that GCC doesn't implement the Windows calling convention for struct returns, while clang does.
Where to find an accurate weather forecast?
Hello. I'm looking for a website or app with an accurate weather forecast. I'm specifically interested in the weather in the UK. If anyone can share any information, I would be very grateful.
This is the job of a log collector, not a log producer/library. The logging library itself should have no mechanism for shipping files anywhere except a file / stdout / stderr.
Well, sure, but this line of thinking suggests you’re worth more than double what someone else is at the same job.

What makes you think this is so?
Did the same. No longer on any part of Facebook offerings and no apps installed. Banned from my home network too. The only thing left is an empty WhatsApp account with a status telling people to find me on Signal.
It would be bad.
Yes, but "whether" is kinda weird here. The first (community development) requires the second (open sorce). If upstream can accept your contributions, this means you've already forked it for yourself.
Did you miss the bit about the money, though?

The sad thing is, this kind of money oriented, employee exploiting attitude is just as prevalent among academic and non-profit hospitals as the for profit ones.

Lol on lumping an entire segment of the population who disagrees about one particular matter into an entire separate group who also happens to agree on this one particular issue. Better provide a link to a BLM site too, because they also agree on opposing vaccine mandates.
You can do this without a capture card using https://ndi.tv/tools/ - other clients on your LAN can view in OBS or with the included program. I'm yet to try it with 4k.

No help with consoles of course, and perhaps not an option for a work machine.

No. Wine can't implement modern features fast enough for stuff like office to work.

That's not the goal of this tool, though. It's a quality of life improvement for programs that are already known to work in WINE.

Leverage.

If your work improves the productivity of 100+ other people, you're surely worth the price.

If your work saves $500k+ in annual costs, you're surely worth the price.

If hiring you cripples key competitors, you're surely worth the price.

If you can enable new revenues streams through knowledge that only you have, you're surely worth the price.

If hiring you does not increase productivity, reduce costs, fend off competition, or bring in more revenue, then you'll be fighting an uphill battle to justify that salary. But if you do, talk about it. People gossip and those companies who have the biggest multiplier to benefit off your work will be working hard to reach you.

In my opinion, remote or not is less important than you think. The key decisions will be based on whether hiring you at that price is a net positive for the company or not.

EDIT: And if you're outside of the US, set up a local LLC so that US-based companies can treat you like an independent contracting business. That'll make it much easier to hire you across borders. And at that price, you can surely afford the $1000 annually for a tax advisor retainer.
Snakes too.

The general belief here in India is if you are hurting a snake, might as well kill it, and then burn it, just to be sure.
In Clojure(Script) it seems to be a net positive because of the curation effect - the community generally has good taste in picking the good parts of the JVM/npm ecosystems and packaging those to for wide use. For example the de facto standard logging library doesn't use log4j but can interop with Java logging stuff and presents the same interface on both ClojureScript and JVM.

(Also many Java libraries have imperative APIs for no good reason, and it's sometimes the wrapper can present a functional interface)
