I cannot speak about the alleged wokeness, as I don't consume enough CBC content to make an informed judgment. What I can say is that CBC is the only major Canadian media company that is not capital C Conservative, at least among English-language media. Toronto Star used to fit this description too, but they got sold to what I think is a private equity firm who has been selling off their assets, so I don't expect them to be around much longer. Toronto Star is/soon-to-be was leftist. CBC is supposed to be neutral. All other major media companies are Conservative. See party endorsements for federal elections for example. Note that all non-Conservative endorsements come from the late TorStar corporation.

https://readpassage.com/election-endorsements/

So maybe the issue is not that CBC is too Liberal, but that every other publication is Conservative, so even a neutral publication will look far left by comparison.

Again, I don't consume enough CBC content to comment how their leanings are. I just know a bit about Canadian media atmosphere in general.
This is simply false. For example in Los Angeles[1]:

> There are currently 435 sites countywide with 11,499 beds available.

Meanwhile there are 48,041 unsheltered homeless people in LA county at last count[2].

With that being said, some people do not want to use shelters, and because the shelter beds are wildly outnumbered by the homeless population the government is not allowed to penalize anyone for camping on the street. Only when the government has provided adequate shelter for everyone can any ordinances against street camping be enforced, per the Supreme Court ruling in Martin v. Boise.

It was odd how it just went (sunglasses on[1]) viral. But I guess Zoom didn't ask you to register with your email and make an account, and click the link on the email we just sent you, etc, so that's why someone who needed a quick solution just used that, and it spread that way.

Maybe they can find user zero (there must've been that one person who wrote that first "Let's have a call on Zoom" with many outside their company, which introduced the app to many other people in other companies) and give him a big fat check...

Where other companies in this space have focused on extracting more money out of fans, our mission is to fund digital content creators without requiring their fans to pay a dollar out of pocket. We have raised over $2M in funding and are launching our first product this month.

We're looking for one or more backend/full-stack engineers to join our team of 3 mobile and 2 backend engineers.

Tech Stack:
Haskell, Nix, AWS, Postgres, React Native, TypeScript, Expo

An inclination/interest in media/fintech/influencer economy is a strong bonus.

We are hoping to find a midlevel or senior Haskell engineer. That being said, we have so far had great success upskilling promising early career engineers and would be would be open to bringing on the right new-grad/dropout/other situation if there is alignment in other areas.

If you don't have professional Haskell experience here are some indications that you may still be a fit:
- You have a strong interest in learning production Haskell and have used it for some personal projects
- You are able to read and gain useful information from compiler errors
- You can spin up a basic web service in Haskell backed by a database
- You know the difference between transformers, mtl, and freer
- You have experience writing highly functional style code in another language

Terrastruct | Software Engineer | SF, Remote ok for senior (US/CAN) | Full-time | $120-$200K base | 0.2-1.5% equity

Terrastruct (https://terrastruct.com/) is a diagramming tool for software architecture. Drawing software diagrams on a general-purpose tool like LucidChart or Draw.io feels like coding on Google Docs. It has a lot of the features I don't care about and lacks ones I wish existed. So, I built one for my needs. It focuses on things that software engineers care about, like managing complexity, autolayout algorithms that actually mimic how humans draw diagrams (not squiggly lines flying everywhere), and integrations with tools like Github and AWS.

I've been working on it since 2017 as a side project at Stripe, and quit to do it full time at the end of 2019. Been working on it every day since, and now we've recently raised a Seed round, and are looking for our 4th engineer. Would love to hear from you, especially if you also think the visual documentation space is in dire need of a better tool.

> I attempted SICP a few times

I don't have a computer science degree and I think that has held me back some, but I try to overcome it by always trying to learn and never thinking I should already know something or feeling like I'm an expert. I don't have the patience at my age to go back to school and get a degree. That you attempted SICP a few times is a good sign that you don't give up and speaks to your success in finally understanding.
According to AMD you get >1.25 performance at 1/2 the power usage when chips go from 7nm to 5nm. So when x86 gets to 5nm the difference in performance might be fairly negligible. Its not everything but its certainly not nothing.

A lightweight way to accomplish this is to at least set up frequent autosaves in your editor. I had `au FocusLost * :wa` in vim to save all buffers to disk whenever it loses focus. Now that I've converted to the church of VS Code (with vim bindings, of course), there's an "Auto Save: onFocusChange" config option to do the same thing. I don't know how people live without it!

Yes, I don't know why he would dilute an otherwise good argument. I will ask some pretty easy tech questions for posterity, but they are very straight forward to filter out the frauds. One of my favorites that doesn't apply to every language is: What's the difference between a function and a procedure?

I usually ask what was their favorite project and why, what their least favorite and why. You get a lot of info out of those two that you couldn't get with tech trivia questions. If they don't elaborate, ask follow up questions to try to get them to. If they still don't they probably aren't a quality candidate.

Climate-Only Models Likely Underestimate Species Extinction, Study Finds
I'm happy to see this here. As someone who has studied this problem space, I believe that housing supply issues are a major root cause of homelessness in the US.

I don't think there's any conspiracy, just a lack of solid understanding of the problem. I think we are "victims of our own success" in that I think our last housing crisis was solved by the birth of modern suburbs and this made the single family detached house designed for a nuclear family our default standard and trying to emulate that or improve on that has gone weird and unhelpful places.

But thrilled to see an article connecting homelessness to housing supply issues rather than the tired trope of "They are all junkies and crazies."

> But wouldn't this predict that results would be much better on Bing and other search engines that don't have much presence in the "put ads on random sites" market?

Honestly what I think is every search engine sucks these days, and Google manages to suck a little bit less.

The reason is because how easy it has been to publish low quality content. It's rare to find high quality contents. The issue with search engine is that they don't show these rare contents. These aren't recommended by default. These are hidden.

What happened is the recommendation system is broken! If there weren't any neural networks making decision, it would have been different issue. But with modern search engines deploying recommendation system, I think it is all about rich gets richer scheme. You can't recommended new or fresh but quality content because it was never visited! So, when the entire backend is relying on user data, the system is being fed crappy data because users don't care and those who do are few in number.

As long as system is making revenue, it will be this way. Most people never care at all and would never be bothered because they only care for simple queries. If anyone deviates from the norm, Google search results are pretty bad like every other search engines.

Well, online platforms do not care a lot about the content.

For example, on disney+, the simpsons are cropped to 16/9, which removes a lot of the image. Hopefully, I found an original version on torrent, but that's really a bad move from disney.

Voting alone gives you very little meaningful power in most liberal democracies. In order to have a meaningful influence on policy, you need to have either a lot of money (the easier way) or a lot of time and focused energy to organize constituencies (the hard way).

Very poor people tend to have neither. Obviously they don't have money, but they also tend to be overwhelmed with the daily struggle to stay alive, or emotionally beaten down by dealing with various kinds of trauma.

That means even when homeless people manage to vote individually, they aren't likely to find politicians who cater to their needs directly. Instead the best they can hope for is a politician who caters to middle-class and wealthy people who care about the abstract concept of homelessness and have their own ideas about how to address it.
The "best" tier is also for people who need 64 GB of RAM just to build things, FWIW. Just to pick laptops as an example. I've worked at companies where the build times were long and required gobs of RAM.
I think a lot of negative issues regarding housing in the UK come from the government charging a stamp duty when buying a property instead of property taxes like almost every other country on Earth.

Paying 5% of an entire property price is a steep price in an already expensive market. This is even worse when compared to paying nothing when not selling, which just forces people to stay where they are (specially if the market is more expensive from the last time you moved) and further constrains supply and raises house prices.
The “looks greener” is actually a central part of the filmography (not sure if this is the right word), as the colours are tinted green whenever the characters are in the matrix and shift back when they are in the real world.

Senior Systems Engineer, iOS - Atlanta or REMOTE (USA & Canada) - https://grnh.se/6b829b222us

FullStory is looking for someone with deep systems programing experience. This role is about taking things apart and seeing what makes them tick, not building new apps. iOS-specific experience is a plus, but not a strict requirement.

We use Objective-C with a small amount of Swift for the iOS-specific parts, and Rust for the core library that is shared between Android and iOS.

I'm one of the engineers on the mobile team, primarily working on iOS recording and playback - if you have any question, feel free to comment here or email me directly: nathan@[company site] (https://www.fullstory.com/).

FullStory provides "Digital Experience Intelligence" - privacy-focused session replay and analytics for web and mobile apps. Basically, we help you find how and where your end-users are getting stuck. We can even rank the issues based on estimated ROI.

Mobile replays look like a cross between a video and a wireframe because we record and replay the draw calls, but we redact privacy-sensitive information on the device. (This allows us to use a fraction of the bandwidth/cpu/battery/etc. that recording an actual video would take.)

We also have other openings in Engineering, Finance, HR, Sales, Support, etc. See https://boards.greenhouse.io/fullstory?t=cf0d4d232us for the complete list and https://www.fullstory.com/careers/ for some general info.

The rest of our system is primary written in Go (Golang) and TypeScript, but there are a lot of other interesting bits.

All the usual benefits: equity, healthcare, 401k matching, self-directed PTO, option to work from home even if you're near an office.

FullStory is an awesome place to work. Seriously, the best job yet in my 15+ year career!
