IMO, at any company, you will be directly or indirectly providing capital support to AdTech/E-Commerce/Fossil-fuel industries at some level. Its highly unlikely you'll find a company or a trade that doesn't have to advertise its products/services, and/or doesn't need shipping/material/transport/etc. I don't find your claims to be ridiculous, its just that the world is a shitty place - for an idealist. IMO, Its best to frame things as leaving the world a better place, rather than finding that one job that grants you immunity from the evil stuff.
Modern GTK (3 & 4) can be (almost) fully styled with CSS. Whether you could get sufficiently close to the look of Drovp is hard to say. I don't think there are any toolkits you can use that will span desktop and mobile platforms efficiently or effectively, so pick one :)
Do you give your employees substantial raises every year as an incentive to stay and not look for a job elsewhere every 2-3 years?
I was able to increase my salary by 400% in the past 2 years by moving around. But that doesn't mean I haven't made a huge impact on the products I've worked on for 1 year each, because I did.
I'm pretty sure that's itch.io, which looks like a game site but it was originally (and still is) just a way for you to sell zip files.
Wow I didn't imagine the lack of flight attendants was going to hit the government this hard.

Remember when Joe Biden suggested these covid deaths under a president should mean that person shouldn't be president anymore? I wonder if he's gonna listen to his own advice.
The study has percentages of what people did what, multiple cities, multiple sample sizes, multiple breakdowns of population. Some were using cars and public transportation. More weren't.

I skimmed the article and I commented.
I've got a bizarre situation in which an OS upgrade bricked my Mac. I can't remember the details now, but it was something about an interface change in which I had managed to activate 2FA, but the login interface didn't have an input box for it.

The device was old enough that I just heaved a sigh and gave it to Apple for recycling.
Hi! I assure you, everything I wrote is accurate to the best of my knowledge, except for one part I should probably address first: yes, nobody in app review will literally “yell” at you. Their correspondence will be invariably polite; I simply used it as a figure of speech to indicate that they will flag you for something. In a sense, the politeness is even more irritating because you’ll get a message like “sorry, we can’t approve this app” and then a rep will come on and parrot the same thing to you, and regardless of how polite they are you know you’re going to have to deal with a significant headache at best and a complete loss at worst, if whatever Apple wants you to change is integral to your app.

Now, to answer the other part: yes, as stupid as it sounds, they do exactly this. I work on iSH and they flagged a build of our app for package management functionality. Ok, we said, that’s not the main purpose of the app, and we don’t want to fight you about it, so we’ll remove it. And they approved it…for a bit, until they rejected it again. Why? “During review, your app downloaded code”. Our app doesn’t download code. What actually happened was that we ship a wget, and the reviewer used this to go to a website and re-download a package manager, and then used that to download code. I mean, what are we supposed to do in response to that? We removed what you wanted us to remove (even if we didn’t have to, based on a close reading of the rules) and if you are going to go and download it again, what are we supposed to do?

I’m not really in a position to speak for my employer and their review experience, but the UGC content/porn example is one every social media app knows about. You’ll get a rejection in App Store Connect with the “problematic content” and you’ll go check up on the demo account you gave them and it’ll have these terms in the search history. Blonde, boobs, sexy: it’s the stupidest search queries, but they will absolutely go and type those words into the search field and flag you for it, and your analytics will confirm it.

I thought crypto’s impact on GPUs largely ended, as they moved into far greater cost/efficiency ratios provided by ASICs? Is it for the non-bitcoin cryptos?
I'd agree with other commenters that it might be helpful to adopt a more flexible moral framework. That being said, I can identify with your struggle, as I've often felt the same way. I've pursued the route of working at many different non-profits. Currently working at a non-profit focused on climate change. The thing is, every place I've ever worked, within a few weeks, I see behind the curtain and find something to be unhappy about. No company or organization is perfectly good, and I don't think you should attach your sense of morality too closely to the company you work for. Focus on being a good, moral person in the direct interactions you have with others. Be a good coworker, good partner, good neighbor, etc. The world needs more people who are good to each other these days. If you can do that, it's more important than which company you might happen to work for in 99% of the cases.

As far as choosing a company goes, one strategy that I have is to keep lists of companies that do things I like. When I'm looking for work, I go through those lists to see who's hiring. I've got a list on Twitter of companies I like, a spreadsheet of companies that I like and links to their jobs pages, and when I come across a job posting that looks like a role I might like, I add the link to it as a todo item in a specific category of my todo app, and when I have some time I send off an application, just in case.
It's not that hard to comply with the GPL.
This demonstration is utter nonsense, because it's musing a critical step. By the automorphism of color permutations, all possible non-trivial reaponses are equivalent and prove nothing.
What's missing is that the prover has to send you something like a salted hash of every edge coloring (called a "cryptographic commitment") in advance, so that you can verify that the revealed coloring matches what was already committed.

But since the number of distinct single edge colorings is tiny (6), you could crack the hash easily, so you need a fancier commitment protocol than just a hash, perhaps some sort of mutually trusted hashing oracle that only lets you send one query per proof.
How can physical deletion work with the Merkle Tree mechanics?

Do you just store the hash but not the underlying KV pair?
I can sympathize. I worked in AdTech, once, and exited that role as quickly as possible.

I now work for a book publisher (one of the "big five" in USA) that's part of an organization that includes major scientific publishers. Promoting literacy and science are key values of the overall org. It's also privately owned, which assists focus on values and reputation.

In 2021, working for a team that's still advancing the values of the Enlightenment feels... remarkably meaningful.
You broke the site guidelines repeatedly and extremely badly in this thread. We ban accounts that do that.

:target has been a possibility for many, many years, but is a poor choice for this sort of thing because it’s rather fragile (other things touch the fragment too) and messes with history.

The better hack that has been long available is invisible checkboxes, :checked and a sibling selector. That’s almost certainly what “you could fake it with CSS too” was describing back then.

But the proper solution now would be <details>. As an example of this, many dropdowns on GitHub work without JavaScript, by using <details>.

I would note that with all of these alternatives, you tend to want a little JavaScript to enhance the functionality, e.g. manage ARIA states and focus.
Hey, I resent that! I built my own 300 baud modem from parts I got from a dumpster, more or less guessing my way through the circuit for lack of documentatino. It worked, it had lots of blinking LEDs, a sturdy plywood box with a mass of switches which made it look like an ICBM launch console but it did get me online with my Commodore-64. Initially I had to dial by hand using a rotary phone, later I made a pulse-dial circuit and program so I could do some war-dialing - at 300 baud. On a shared phone line in a student house, with one of those pulse counters which clonked loudly when another quarter was added to the phone bill. At night. Boy, did they support my late-night hobbies...
I make around half that and the biggest problem with the XDR is the aspect ratio and the reason why that is an issue is how Apple designed the XDR. It is primary for people on the low end and medium end who edit / color grade video.

If you are a developer try considering a 12.9 iPad Pro possibly? At least the aspect ratio is much better and the refresh rate is there but it also is too small for the rest of the examples. I don't see Apple releasing a monitor that will be middle of the road but I could see an LG refresh.

As a developer when I am doing my side projects I mainly make my terminal consume the middle third of the screen and have other relevant information or have it fill the screen. The only issue filling the screen is that you are possibly looking at the edges too much and that can cause eye strain.

But, would I buy an XDR again? Absolutely. Doing anything with this monitor makes every other monitor I own second rate. Also, content consumption is excellent to the point that its brighter than the theaters around me. Also, having a Mac which is fully compatible with an XDR allows me to manage it without touching one button on a monitor. It's integration with the rest of the system is by far the most appealing option. I do own the non Nano option.
The study isn't weighing that.

Such as Michael Page? That's one of the few recruiters that ever has interesting-looking jobs at decent salaries in Japan.
Dotnet 6 was just released and you could use Blazor too (SPA using dotnet!) for the front end. I’d expect you’d be become familiar enough with Asp.net and Blazor with just a couple of weeks of training. When it comes to hiring why not just put it out to anyone with OO experience? I see that quite often.

You could use Python if you want but I don’t see the compelling reason. React seems like overkill for what you described as a fairly basic application.
I go into more detail below but I completely disagree with your take.

If anything for most users this thing is amazing (but expensive), and for the few users who were "tricked" into thinking this is a $5000 reference monitor it's not good...

-

Bleed is non-existent, right off the bat. In fact it doesn't make sense it'd have bloom and backlight bleeding, aggressive HDR produces bloom... so the same aggressive HDR would hide BLB.

Bloom is also a complete non-issue for most users. I use this monitor primarily to consume text and casual media... I got weeks at a time before remembering this monitor had HDR enabled full-time when some super thin loading spinner or something appears on a completely black background while the brightness is cranked to max but the room is kind of dark... it essentially takes a torture test to get the FALD to be problematic

Off-axis color accuracy, again, complete non-issue for most users. If I was producing Avatar 2 it might be an issue, but compared to any "normal" monitor it's a complete non-issue, especially when the trade off is exactly 0 backlight bleed, which is 100 times more annoying.

For "most users" there's no better productivity monitor. Even a $20,000 reference monitor would be useless for us since we're not going to be able to drive or configure it...
haha ding ding ding

well the study wasn't making an opinion about it and just posted the results of their finding
Ah, I hadn’t considered this possibility. Thanks for pointing it out.
Same here. However, trying to log in again fails with a "you may have mistyped the email address" so it seems to have worked.
It's fairly typical for the S/L-band telemetry and command and control antenna (omnidirectional, in case of pointing/station keeping error) on a satellite to be a very low data rate, and narrow channel. The narrower the channel is, the easier it is to pick it out of noise, and aim medium sized earth station dishes at it.
I really disagree, it selects people with high tolerance for others wasting their time, so it chases away the most high value candidates.
The best way to demonstrate to China that tantrums and bullying won’t work is to continue apace with our efforts to build up our alliances and capability to keep the region free — including readiness to come to Taiwan’s defense, if necessary.

What's distasteful about this piece is that -- aside from the fact that it seems very doubtful at this point that the U.S. public would stomach more than a token response (that is to say: symbolic, but ultimately ineffective) to an actual invasion -- it attempts to infantilize Beijing's actions as "tantrums".

They are not. The CPC leadership is engaging in calculated realpolitik in the classic mold -- by and large, quite skillfully. To pretend otherwise -- or that the U.S. can prevail against their strategy with nothing more than bluffing manoeuvres in its hand; backed perhaps by some vague sense of "adult in the room" superiority -- is naive and dangerous.

Both web3 and web2 are misnomers that sends discussions into every possible direction.

They are misnomers because of the word "web". The original meaning of "web" was for it to be one of many applications on the underlying internet. Another application could be FTP, telnet, Gopher.

As such, web2 is an imprecise term because it is a conceptual change not restricted to web technology. It's the internet becoming a two-way street, rather than mostly read-only for the typical user. When you post some content using a mobile app, that's "web2", even if not a single web technology is used end-to-end.

And to add to the confusion, "web3" is specifically a response to the 2nd phase of "web2": the centralization of content discovery and monetization. The well known big tech gate keepers that slurp up all content, your private data, put ads on them, and this way become filthy rich whilst content producers get nothing. Some content producers may get a piece of the pie, but terms may change or they may just kick you off the platform. Not even by a human, by AI. And they won't even bother to tell you why. Likewise, app store owners can just take 30% of your business, dictate how you do business with them, and get sole access to your customers' data. Gatekeepers may also arbitrarily decide what is allowed speech and what isn't.

I could go on, but the issues that come from "web2" monopolies are well known, and nothing new. Most people are in agreement that they are serious issues, all the way up to governments.

As such, it's sad that a movement that has the potential to make somewhat of a meaningful change, namely "web3", is met with such ridicule. Just because it has the trigger word "crypto" associated with it.

It's truly anti-intellectual and lazy to not even acknowledge the problems with "web2" and to just decide in a heartbeat that "web3" is a scam. Because you read the word "crypto".

Meanwhile, "crypto" adds 100M new users every year, and accelerating. VCs, including the ones behind this website, are throwing everything and the kitchen sink at it. Whilst you laugh at NFTs, musicians, car manufacturers, event organizers and sports teams are embracing it. Crypto-assets backed gaming is about the enter the hype phase. Facebook is throwing tens of billions into the metaverse with the idea to make it compatible with leading blockchains. Twitter is integrating Bitcoin payments and verified NFTs, as well as working on some decentralized social network.

At what point do you stop to wonder...maybe something's up with this crypto thing? I'm not here to sell you crypto, as clearly this community has made up its mind and thinks it's about "too much javascript". I'm here to tell you that you dramatically underestimate the speed at which it develops, is normalized and becoming mainstream.

Be skeptical, but not a fool.
There's actually a solution for that: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204915

> What if I use two-factor authentication on a device running older software?

> If you use two-factor authentication with devices running older OS versions – such as an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) – you may be asked to add your six-digit verification code to the end of your password when signing in. Get your verification code from a trusted device running iOS 9 and later or OS X El Capitan and later, or have it sent to your trusted phone number. Then type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field.
> It just sits there telling me I'm practically a criminal

I mean, you bought stolen goods. The law says you are culpable to some degree. If this was a legit sale, the original owner would be willing to do what's needed to make it useable.
I’m sorry but it sounds like you’ve just been really lucky in where you’ve worked at.

The majority of engineering organizations are quite terrible at recognizing and promoting engineering talent. They’re fine with letting even good engineers leave as the cost of doing business. Looking at just the tenure and making an assumption about the individual sounds ridiculously backward and that’s pretty poor engineering leadership imo.
Or, best, not even programming at all?

Or, in practice, hiring somebody who actually understands how to program, understands what makes a library or language a good choice, and understands how to get the most value from both, without insane blinders.
> I don't find your claims to be ridiculous, its just that the world is a shitty place.

If there were ever a misanthropic worldview, this is it.

To be alive in the year 2021 and think that all is bad or worse than some halcyon prior age is, if not ridiculous, horrifying.

If you and OP are not familiar with anything you feel is worthwhile to work on as a company, then I pity anyone who has to be around you. My advice to OP is to figure out why he/she is unable to see enough good in the world and has to ask HN for where that value is.
I looked through the paper, and I don't understand the point.

The authors introduce a measure called the "fragility index" (rather, a modification of an existing fragility index) that's supposed to diagnose a lack of robustness in clinical trials satisfying the usual standards of p < 0.05.

First, the problem with clinical trial results failing to replicate or discover true effects goes far beyond the statistical methods used. For example, "virtually all major RCTs funded by an NIH institute (NHLBI) before 2000 were false positives. Once hypothesis preregistration is required in 2000, everything becomes a null." [0] Arguing about statistical methods is just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic until all that institutional stuff is taken care of.

Continuing anyway: The introduced measure is extremely ad hoc and not supported by any theoretical framework (e.g. proofs of good asymptotic properties). I don't know how to interpret it, especially because (as the authors note) it can easily flag a study as "fragile" when it isn't. Say what you want about p-values, but they at least have mathematical guarantees when used properly.

Further, there's no discussion of how this compares to existing approaches. Why not just do careful Bayesian modeling? Or, why not try to learn something from the amazing success of machine learning researchers in predicting out of sample generalization (e.g. see [1])?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I really don't see what the contribution is here.

What would you expect to happen otherwise? AFAIK this is exactly the same as happens in other court cases where the GPL has been tried.
The Log4shell vulnerability wasn’t actively exploited prior to March 2021, so the timeline doesn’t make sense.

It looks like that’s some type of encoding. Maybe a Base16 run through a Caesarean cipher.

That being said, no sane programmer would deliberately (with deliberation) include a double quote in a legitimate directory path.

Does “rolandog” mean anything to you?

Advanced explosives seems to be a Minecraft mod. Were you developing this mod?

Are there any mods to the Titan program?

Edit: I was close … it’s Base64 run through a Caesarean.
To take a concrete example: Zopfli, a slower gzip/DEFLATE encoder. According to Wikipedia: "Under default settings, the output of Zopfli is typically 3–8% smaller than zlib's maximum compression, but takes around 80 times longer.". This article is basically asking: "When should I use this over regular gzip/DEFLATE, and why?", and tries to answer that.
If you want everything to be decentralized it will always be a pain in the ass and have way more friction compared to a centralized alternative even if it's pretty easy in absolute terms.

The problem is psychological, not technical.
>2x scaling with 4k really means you end up with the same screen real estate as 1080p.

Yes and no. With much clearer looking text, I can use smaller fonts (13 -> 11 in IntelliJ) than on regular 1080p displays, so there's _some_ difference.
The doorway troubles me. The raised threshold is a trip hazard.
