I cannot bring myself to strongly believe in putting more inputs on a CRUD app, adding some database columns, and doing some business logic on that data elsewhere. It's bog standard work most of the time. Small little incremental features that are just conveniences.

Almost no company tells you that in the interview though, and it's certainly not on their about page.
This is the lamest whataboutism I've seen.
> 30 years ago, climbing the corporate ladder was "the way" to get ahead, nowadays, people with small mildly successful SAAS businesses, consultant companies, podcasters, indie hackers etc... make way more than any Director at FAANG.

Dir at FAANG makes $1-2M with probably less stress that comes from running-your-own-business.

How many podcasters at the level of $1-2M that works less than Dir at FAANG?

I rarely seen IndieHackers at that level (a select few who struck gold, not as "common" as Dir at FAANG).
Ok so first I have to incur the CC fees while obtaining the crypto, and then I can avoid them at purchase time (but still have to pay Tx fees / gas / whatever over the top). Cool cool really neat stuff.
This makes no sense unless both jobs are coast-mode situations with no worthwhile upward mobility. Every job I have had and every career trajectory I have seen in the industry involves a growth curve that looks way better.
You’re not alone in that. Twitter killed my favorite apps about the time Mastodon came along, and I switched almost completely.

And importantly, making 0 profit does not mean that the executives make 0 salary.
Without evidence that they lied in 2011-12, it requires an explanation as to why they would lie, and for us to believe that a strategy to lie to investors then defraud customers and get shut down by regulators is more plausible than to have set out with high-minded ambitions that later turned out to be fanciful.
Magnitude 2: you literally can't feel one of these. Also, they happen every day. You're not going to get an alert for this.

Magnitude 4: maybe stop leaning over the balcony? Otherwise, nothing.

Magnitude 5+: get under the table or into a doorframe. Face away from glass windows.
Tulips are sure expensive this year.
You have to do this very well to make a difference as a lethal dose can be as little as a few grains of sand. Like you need scientific style mortar and pestle and the patience and dexterity and knowledge to properly pulverize and mix and then a very fine scale for measuring doses not to mention the temptation that powdered product has for significantly more dangerous non-oral drug usage.

It is not in theory a bad idea but in practice perhaps not the most reasonable advice.
Again, satire ceases to be such when there is mention of an actual corporate entity that exchanges real money for real unlimited breadsticks. Or at least, you have to be very careful.

I don't understand how this is not tantamount to someone selling pieces of the local Olive Garden franchise for $100. That person could equivalently claim satire, because there's no way that could happen in real life.
Don’t dismiss Omicron as ‘mild’. Take it from a Covid long-hauler
Really though, order of operations is just a convention. Practically, I'd think of PEMDAS as descriptive rather than proscriptive (nobody is going to revoke your math license if you and your friends violate PEMDAS together). Frequent topics of debate or confusion seem to indicate a edge case in the living convention. Therefore, I think you are smarter than either of the debaters if you stick with the parentheses.
Anything posted anywhere about criticism of Signal is either downvoted or "banned". The entire thread sounded like whining. Most of my contacts have left Signal anyway.
Since there's a double step to remove your number completely, users who have deleted signal from their devices still show up as Signal users. The actual number of active users? No idea.

No. I responded that NFTs are not just about "digital art in specific URLs". DId you read the comment I linked to before or did you just want to "well, actually" me and argue a strawman?
Again, your own levels.fyi link does not support these numbers as being the norm. I do not deny that it can happen. I'm saying that you're misleading people by presenting them as some sort of normal thing.

Google L4 > L5 (270 -> 360)

Meta E4 > E5 (275 -> 390)

Microsoft SDE II -> Principal SDE (182 -> 308K; I intentionally skipped a level just to show the ridiculousness).

Amazon SDE II -> SDE III (240K -> 330K)

Apple ICT3 -> ITC4 (222K -> 333K)

And these are midlevel to senior and these are from the site you linked. If you do junior to midlevel your numbers, on average, make even less sense.

> But somehow an actual plain, direct, spot ETF that can provide redemptions to authorized participants is the one that’s not allowed.

Custodianship is probably why they’ve rejected direct spot ETFs that own real bitcoins. It would be disastrous if hacked. There’d be no restitution for investors.

With futures-based bitcoin products, no one is actually holding bitcoins. It’s cash settled between the long and shorts based on a published closing price. So the BITO ETF has no risk of being irreparably hacked.
A bacteria-based implementation of The Clean Language would be ironic.

When you show people that hard work is just rewarded with more hard work, and isn't compensated at a rate that's worth it, what else do you expect? I wish I could find the link, but I read about a study which showed explicitly that this is true (the reward for hard work is more work), and, surprisingly, that hard workers didn't like that. Seriously, why would you bother?
Maybe i could have also expressed more outright disdain for the practices of these companies in my original post. Then again, i think that the comment that you are responding to, despite its tone, has a fair argument.

> If this is "suddenly" for your business, and your business still hasn't figured out how to not collect (and probably sell) user data wholesale, your business deserves to be sued out of existence.

> And all of those cookie banners are illegal under GDPR.

Here's the thing: if there's profit to be made, both large and small corporations alike are going to look for ways to achieve that, many other concerns (e.g. the actual UX or even ethics) remaining with secondary importance in comparison.

It doesn't even matter that some things are illegal sometimes, depending on how likely it is actually to be enforced. I think that this same disposition and attitude will also extend to lobbying and trying to nudge the lawmaking processes in a direction that benefits said companies, to maximize their profits in the future.

I'm not saying that things shouldn't be more like EUs outcome (in this one regard, at least), i'm saying that they won't be like that.

Just look at the pharmaceutical industry in US, the healthcare industry as a whole, or maybe the education industry or even the military industrial complex, all of which have probably seen lots of lobbying and lawmaking that doesn't necessary benefit the general populace.

Furthermore, for some businesses it is simpler to deny access to people who are protected by GDPR, either because of compliance taking more resources then they want to allot, or simply gaining no benefit from serving them content if they cannot use tracking cookies and monetize otherwise free interaction with their content.

So rather than figuring out how to not collect and sell user data, they're struggling to find ways around the laws, so that they can keep doing that in any capacity, or in some places, just ignore the laws altogether thinking that they're too small/big to actually be persecuted.
That seems like a totally different sense of “trust” though, and not one that you could reasonably expect any blockchain or traditional market to solve. Like, yes, you do need to make some small effort to make sure that you’re buying what you are intending to buy, but I can’t imagine that being difficult to do, especially if you’re buying a piece of art from an artist you follow closely.
I mean the enormous tax cuts on the wealthy since the Reagan era, tax savings which end up invested and paying dividends later on. Focusing on the Fed's policy is a mistake (and actually the one reason why the Fed had to inject so much money to get a stimulus comes from the fact that the richest people control much more wealth than they should/used to, and this is caused by the enormous fiscal gifts the wealthy have been given in the past 40 years).
Is this true for most devs though? Company churn seems to say no.
That is the state of every single large subreddit that remotely ties into personal experiences/stories though.
I suspect the stoner coders are the exact opposite, and would experience similar effects when sober.
SV is also a meat grinder: the participants are well aware of that (maybe except during the early days of Google or non-GCP Google orgs). SV participants are highly ambitious folks who want to get paid more and deliver "impact" (whatever that means). It's an ego contest.

It's just that the participants always paint rosy pictures to the point that Media buys it and sells it.
Most servers I’m familiar with operate on a blacklist/default-allow basis. My server federated with everyone by default, and we only disconnect specific ill behaved servers.

Wow, thanks for those links. I am well acquainted with Lisp, but I never stumbled upon these. The video was great too.

I have played with Wasp Lisp which is very cool and the Wasp VM. And checkout how it can spawn drone nodes on different machines[1,2]. I think C and Lisp together are amazing. I have been using them for decades, but J and APL entered my life over 8 years ago, and I am hooked! Checkout a rework of the famous APL GoL demo. It's much easier to understand than the original[3]

I should probably start using my time to come up with bogus scams like this instead of working a job I hate (and making less).
I don't agree that it's specific to women. How many times did you hear about reversible belts being "cheap"? How many people have strong opinions about the width of the tie, even though the target changes every decade? What about shoes / trousers / belt colour matching? Why are socks and sandals a bad match? Why is a vest a wife-beater? There's nothing intrinsically better/worse about those situations - they're weird norms created between the industry, society and Beau Brummell.

Men's fashion or even just basic clothing choices are very restricted as well and have their own rules. In that case it's not fast fashion, but the toxic fashion industry goes well beyond feminity.

You made this up, pure and simple.
What's unlawful around working two jobs? Happens at high end (consulting CTO John Carmack, or Twitter & Square CEO Jack Dorsey, and in the US happens significantly often at the lowest end (retail workers in two jobs).

It's unethical in that the two employers are unaware of that fact, and he's advising deliberately not doing work in bad faith (whereas the boards of Meta, Twitter and Square were aware of the previous situations, and your retail shift manager knows he's not scheduling and paying a living wage), but illegal probably not.
Of course it should have merit, and it does. I invoked the author's reputation in that he previously had both contributed and determined merit -- his opinion carries far more weight than any random gopher.
My day job for 6+ years is implementing high perf RISC-V cores and my name is in many of the RISC-V specs.

Variable length ISAs are characterized by not being able to tell the beginning of an instruction without knowing the entrypoint. This applies to RISC-V with compressed instructions. Finding the boundaries is akin to a prefix scan and has a cost roughly linear in the scan length, but IMO the biggest loss is that you can’t begin predecode at I$ fill time.
Free markets aren't a panacea. The point is:

1) If they seriously don't like it, they can change it (Gab, Paler, Truth Social).

2) When people do complain, they negotiate directly with the person they are complaining to instead of going via the government.

A non-free market would be much worse for the conservatives because the Silicon Valley standards would get enshrined in law and a competing platform would be taken out with lawsuits for allowing different opinions.
Why not buy from brands that make consumer products?

To me, Pine products are for hackers & makers. I've three pinecils, both pinepowers, a couple "woodpecker" serial dongles, and some related accessories. Everything I've bought has worked great and been worth every cent. I wish they keep doing exactly the kinds of things they've been doing.
Don't expect too much of QOI.

I wanted a simple format that allows you to load/save images quickly, without dealing with the complexity of JPEG or PNG. Even BMP, TIFF and other "legacy" formats are way more complicated to handle when you start looking into it. So that's what QOI aims to replace.

There's a lot of research for a successor format ongoing. Block based encoding, conversion to YUV, more OP-types etc. have all shown improved numbers. Better support for metadata, different bit-depths and allowing restarts (multithreading) is also high on the list of things to implement.

But QOI will stay as it is. It's the lowest of all hanging fruits that's not rotten on the ground.
I second Plausible but to everyone looking to self-host it, be aware: It’s AGPL licensed! From what I have seen it seems that they only want to discourage direct competitors but an APGL license is an APGL license and that’s a deal breaker for many commercial projects. Older version were licensed under the MIT license iirc so might be an option for some.

Ofc you can always support them and use their cloud hosting solution without any of these problems. I just wish they their pricing was fairer.. Their plans start at 6€ for 10k monthly page views - for that price you could run your own VPS capable of handling literally millions of requests.

> 1. Have elaborate excuses for why they can't update their LinkedIn profile to show the new job. Obviously they can't tip the old company off that they have a new job.

Why is this being stated as if a person is required to update LinkedIn with their current employer? What employer is pressuring new hires for an explanation on why they haven’t publicly claimed their new relationship status?

I don’t often update LI, but your phrasing of someone having “elaborate excuses” means there’s pressure from an employer (or coworkers?) for an LI update before anyone could even receive such “elaborate excuses” … and that’s just plain weird.
Ok.

If you're going to engage in fraud anyway, you can make more than you'd pull in from working two jobs

Hell, with all the crypto madness going on right now, you could probably get ludicrously wealthy just doing freelance black hat security testing.

You aspiring fraudsters should actually read all the paperwork they put in front of you next time you start a job, and tell me if there's no exclusivity at all in it. Just because Jack Dorsey got away with running two companies doesn't mean it's right or just for you to weasel along and lie to two managers forever.

Get your life together and do something meaningful instead of stressing yourself out for the sake of whatever pair of pittances you can earn from this dumb scam.

The part that confuses me is why someone would think the SpeedCrunch implementation is correct:

Say again that you have 1/3x. This is implicitly stating 1/3x. However, no parenthesis are used, and multiplication & division are on the same level in the order of operations, so the expression gets evaluated sequentially from left to right.

If you have 1/3(9.8), evaluating the parenthesis gives you 9.8. So you now have 1/39.8. The expression inside the parenthesis gets evaluated first, then the final result is just multiplied by whatever precedes or succeeds the parenthetical if no other term is given. So 1/3+(9.8) would obviously evaluate to be 1/3+9.8.

Again, if the parenthesis aren't enclosing operations within themselves, then they shouldn't modify the way you'd evaluate the expression. I've had this problem with SpeedCrunch many times over and wish they would update it. Still the best desktop calculator IMO.

edit: a word
Not really, with Linux it's the same as it would be in BSD if they wanted to avoid conflicts with GPL. You put that code in an optional module and have the user compile it. I am unsure as to why BSD people seem to think that using BSD means you can avoid problems with the GPL, if you use any GPL code for any reason (and there's a lot of it) then you have to pay attention to these things. If you insist on only running BSD and CDDL code then you can avoid it, but that's going back to putting politics over software again, the kind of thing that you were saying you were trying to avoid.
True if further actions can be taken. When my house was burglarized the police came and investigated and shrugged their shoulders, but their police report was instrumental in filing an insurance claim.

Assuming the artist only makes one copy, then it does constitute ownership of the work of art. You might not have copyright over it - an artists selling a painting today doesn't give up copyright (unless they sign it away at sale) - but you effectively own the work of art as if it were a painting. In either situation, you're hoping the original artist doesn't go and recreate it to sell it again.
Then why is crypto open to so many other first world countries?

What piqued my interest was the little markup language they have for folders, events, tags, etc. I'm loathe to send anything over SMS, let alone anything private like a note of any kind. Those messages are sent in clear text and archived by all major carriers for years on end for later analysis and government surveillance. Solid no on the SMS features, seems kind of gimmicky anyway.
I'd say that's ironic, but in this case it really is merely unfortunate.
I’m sure temperature variation has something to do with it in some cases. Most parts, even when cooled, are well above room temperature for years on end, a loss of power can drop them to room temp relatively quickly
You can't compare fixing some quadratic time behavior in one place (the type checker) to something that sounds like could be a major piece of work: multilingual character support in UI. If it only goes to ISO latin, it's probably using 8 bit strings, and assuming that bytes and characters are 1:1.

Also, the average Haskell developer practically exists for the purpose of fixing quadratic behaviors in type checkers; you file that bug at 3 a.m. on December 25, and by 8 you have a shiny fix under the tree.
There's an important nuance in between though, such as defending freedom of speech while still objecting to what someone says.

In theory the state could be a trusted authority on land ownership, but in practice they don’t have their act together. It’s such a mess that you have to pay for third-party “title search” and “title insurance” to protect the lender from the risk that a sale might not be honored because of a dispute about the property line a century ago. I once had an entry-level temp job verifying old claims on microfiche; I could easily believe they still have to do that today.

That makes sense. I am just moderately experienced run of the mill worker dev. At every company I have been with, there have been meetings between team lead/senior dev and product manager and then there are 4-10 other devs just chilling while they have this conversation.
