I wouldn't call 1/3 "generous". https://covidestim.org/ has some estimates of the fraction of people ever infected by US state. I can't seem to find an US aggregate figure, but by clicking on a few random states they all seem to be at least 50%. California (the most populous state) is around 60% even before omicron.

Your estimate is likely off by a factor of two.
Working for, and even owning, a for-profit is not inherently bad.

Non-profits are not inherently good, either.
IMO there aren’t any perfectly ethical companies. Even the six years I spent working in tech for non-profit orgs lent itself to some ethical dilemmas for me.

It’s a personal decision on who you work for and what work you do. There are some tech companies that I would not want to work for, mainly because their core business model IMO is a net negative for society. Or in other cases their business model is supported by exploitation of some worker class.

Others might think they could do good at one of these entities by building more equitable business practices or beneficial products.

One of my friends works for the USG in a national security capacity. While I view that space as fraught with ethical and geopolitical implications, their perspective has always been this is their way of serving and protecting their country.

Bottom line, I’m the one that has to live with my choices and maintain a way to pay the bills. A tech career gives me the freedom to make that choice without having to sacrifice too much in the way of pay or benefits.

I don’t think comparing a Tesla’s price to an ICE competitor is an apples to apples comparison.

Sure on the surface a Model 3 price tag looks luxury, but look at full cost of ownership and things start looking downright reasonable. No mandatory scheduled maintenance, no gas costs — charging the thing at home is laughably cheap, brake pads last in to the 100-200k kilometre range thanks to regenerative braking. Don’t forget all the subsidies too against the purchase price.

If you drive a lot, the numbers start getting awfully close to non-luxury vehicles.

And all of this is before you consider the non-monetary drivers of value such as how fun it is to drive, tech gadgets, etc.

I, Daniel Cussen, and let me say I'm going to get this Hacker News account notarized so you'll know I'm a real guy, actually worked for a company he was financing and it was a great job. The money from earning a high starting salary allowed me to work my hardest, which felt amazing, and do my best work.

That money came from him, not from the founders. He cut the checks and decided conditions. He didn't have to pay those wages, and he got his money's worth, but that doesn't change that he still did just that, which is completely against the MBA playbook.

That, to me, is a contrarian.

“Problematic” is meaningless. This post didn’t cite any concrete objections to anything Oracle might have ever done. The worst I’ve heard is they successfully sell to senior VPs over the recommendations of the tech staff, and they sue over severe license terms those VPs probably should have redlined.

Assuming you don't have a sampling error here, of course.
Replying to quoted sections below:

I have been advised that employers notice when candidates are spamming their resume without making a visible effort to demonstrate that they have studied the particular company offering the position, and that they are particularly well qualified for, and enthusiastic about, _this_ position, and understand and meet it's particular requirements. I have been taught to expect a very low response rate otherwise.

This is correct however it is not a game-ender. I believe that the gains from many applications vs few, tailored applications are worth it.

In my view a hiring process should be interactive on both sides. By making me put sizeable effort into every application, it hurts my ability to apply for more jobs and address more opportunities.

I would not have time to consider or prepare for any code screening or technical interviewing in the particular tooling required, so I would feel like I would setting myself up to YOLO the interviews.

Here is about communications and time management - you can tell them that you're current doing work for another interview and expect to be free in 2 days (for instance). In reality however, you will be ghosted by the vast majority of places you apply to.

It's hard to imagine myself realistically keeping this up for weeks at a time, while also handling any interviews or prep, which in combination I would expect to need to spend 10's of hours on per interview.

If you're not employed, treating applying and preparing as your job is highly effective.

What do you do prepping when you spend 10s of hours per interview? I spent 30 minutes researching the company, tops.

My view is that you are being -far- too perfectionist, and you might be using that as an excuse to be lazy. What area of the world are you in? It sounds like the US.
True. If you can steer all wheels independently then you can achieve that with standard wheels. That seems a lot simpler than spherical wheels.
The row typed function is also less reusable for that reason.

If you have two fields of compatible type such that you can confuse which one to pass as a parameter, then it's likely you're not making enough domain specific type distinctions that would disambiguate these fields.

If these fields were really compatible domain specific types, then it's more likely you would want to be able to use that function with both fields at some point. Row typing then either hinders this reuse (not good), or requires you to refactor to encapsulate both fields in a new record with compatible fields and pass that in (maybe good?). This is code you wouldn't have to write without row types.

But as I said, I would like a concrete example to discuss if anyone has one. Speaking in abstract like this isn't likely to be convincing either way.
Putting anything into the overprovisioned (OPed) areas is of little value, as the controller considers OP to be "free to use" i.e. it will simply over write it next when it calls on it (housekeeping and wear leveling). There is nothing "permanent" about that area. It is not "fixed" location on the chips.

If we set the OP to smaller than the original value, the controller has to know about it (because the "setting" is telling the controller to use more of the OP). The partition maybe not be expanded, but the controller knows about it.

I have used this OP adjusting in some SSDs to sanitize for nearly a decade.
Set OP to near zero, single-pass overwrite accessible area with random data, execute a Enhanced Secure Erase, then set the OP back to original value, execute second ESE. (The second ESE gives a feedback if the OP changing messed the drive up.)
>Software in the US is completely unregulated.

Banks, the healthcare industry, the aviation industry and NASA would like a word with you, as well as US import and export control regulators.

Not all software in the US is the vomiting of code cowboys into NPM and Github, by a long shot.

>Incredible progress, world leadership, and plenty of very high quality FREE software.

Sorry, what potentially world-crippling bug are we on this week, I've lost count. Or was it a million dollar company that got hacked and exposed PII because their database layer was written by an intern using open source code written by a high-schooler who thinks writing SQL statements with printf is elegant?

No... the unregulated wild west of software is turning out to be a nightmare. The regulated part, at least, holds bad actors accountable and doesn't depend on "all eyes making bugs shallow" and just hope quality emerges from the aether.
Yeah, it was a throwaway Linqpad script on my work computer, so I can't go back and see what screwed up. I rewrote it on my Mac, which doesn't have Linqpad:

using System;

namespace DateTime_Headroom
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine( "DateTime.MaxValue in hex: 0x" + DateTime.MaxValue.Ticks.ToString("X"));

const ulong DATETIME_RESERVED_BITS = 0xC000000000000000;
Console.WriteLine( "DateTime reserved bits in hex: 0x" + DATETIME_RESERVED_BITS.ToString("X"));

const long DATETIME_TICKS_BITS = (long)~DATETIME_RESERVED_BITS;
Console.WriteLine( "DateTime ticks bits in hex: 0x" + DATETIME_TICKS_BITS.ToString("X"));

var extraTicks = DATETIME_TICKS_BITS - DateTime.MaxValue.Ticks;
Console.WriteLine( "DateTime extra ticks in hex: 0x" + extraTicks.ToString("X"));
Console.WriteLine($"DateTime extra days: {extraTicks / TimeSpan.TicksPerDay}");
}
}

}

----

DateTime.MaxValue in hex: 0x2BCA2875F4373FFF
DateTime reserved bits in hex: 0xC000000000000000
DateTime ticks bits in hex: 0x3FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
DateTime extra ticks in hex: 0x1435D78A0BC8C000
DateTime extra days: 1685540

Edit: Sorry about the formatting.

Also, kinda makes me wonder about the tradeoffs. I suspect that the performance advantage of 64-bit math over "bigint" math is much more useful than the risk of recompiling a program in 10,000 years to use a 128-bit date.
"Regarding the images that have been stripped, ask yourself: Did the photo really contribute much to the article?"

Not for me. I have been using a text-only browser to read the www for over 20 years. The keyword here is "read". I do not need graphics to read text.

Ocassionally I get a glimpse of the type of images that users of graphical browsers would see when reading articles and I am often shocked by how little these images add to the text. In a remarkable number of cases, they are just garbage "filler". As if the publisher was "required" to use some images. Perhaps use of images has some effect on users' response to advertising.

What's more is that in cases of true photojournalism, by a reputable media outlet, where I do want to look at the photos, I often find I can extract the URLs and download the images, for offline viewing, easier with non-graphical clients than if I am using a graphical browser. Viewing images is one thing, but I would not want to rely on a graphical browser for downloading them to view offline.

On today's www, I think graphics are overrated. They have a place, but they are routinely being used in situations used when they are not truly necessary. In a surprisingly large number of cases, they do not add anything except distraction.

Eh, stick around humanitarian spaces for more than a few seconds and you'll run into moral conflicts from working with/around the international NGOs as well.

There's no moral high ground to be had when you are working for the proverbial elephant in a space. You have to decide if your individual impact creates more good than whatever harm your contribution enables whenever the elephant thoughtlessly steps on someone (or we could try to build a future where no group has enough power to cause that kind of harm, but that's a different subject).
Isn’t that what we’re seeing? Nobody is saying it’s bad to be a straight white male, only that people like us are playing on easy mode. The goal is for everyone to be able to enjoy that.

One of my relatives was the ambassador to Germany before WWII started (from an economically important, non-White country) and loved to tell everyone how Hitler was incredibly nice to him and his wife.
I stopped reading shortly after:

"a = (b * c) + e + f"

Something like this would have been a better ex:

a = b(c+e) + f

This guy maybe hasn't heard of operator overloading as no one would do as he suggests in most 'OOP' languages:

"a = ((b.times(c)).plus(e)).plus(f) // sillier"

ublock origin works at least with mobile firefox. I have no idea what folks do with the other android browsers though.
So does Rectangle. I'm using it right now on a 49" U/W, with this Firefox window on the right-hand third, VSCode in the center third, and Discord in the top-left 6th, and Dune (2021) playing in IINA in the bottom-left 6th :-)

All tied to global keyboard shortcuts too. Free, open source, and does exactly what you've asked for.

RAW is not quite what they want (I think). It's HDR+ that they need to disable. The latter takes multiple frames at different exposures and smartly merged them into a single photo, then applies extra color corrections on top. Taking RAW skips the last step, but you still get a merging of multiple frames. Disabling HDR+ will, I believe, take a single frame. Of course on a small phone sensor, the quality will be quite bad.
Email and phone number should be optional though. People can set up reminders on their phones by themselves.
Do we know how large this effect is for the unvaccinated? I'm still not sure if the numbers we're seeing from countries with relatively high seroprevalence through either vaccination, infection, or both can easily be applied to other countries.

What would happen if your hardware implemented a ROT13 "engine" as its primary crypto thingie?

A responsible approach to crypto should be quite shy. It might drop it's drawers and bare all (source code) but no more. It might show some ankle towards some beefy hardware but only when escorted.

A software crypto thingie cannot and should not assume that hardware is trustworthy. However, you can stir some randomness from an untrustworthy source into your entropy pool and not find your knickers around your ankles, if you are careful.

The INSERT ... ON CONFLICT UPDATE patch has been documented here: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/UPSERT#UPSERT_as_implemente...

There are some clear benefits possible only thanks to specifying constraint names. Quoted from the link:

* The SQL-standard MERGE doesn't provide for choosing an index, so use of a unique index would need to be conditioned on equality quals against indexed columns in order to provide the behavior being discussed for UPSERT.

* The ON expression will need to be evaluated to see whether it properly compares to a unique index on the target table. Initially this will need to be done to determine whether the MERGE is allowed at all; later it will determine which sort of plan is allowed. It would be easier to match an index name, provided the index name is known and stable.

I have read and understood enough Category Theory to realise that it is kinda fun/interesting if you enjoy abstract math. But it won’t make you a better software (or Haskell) developer.
