Running through `git blame` and looking at the commit message, the PR, and the PR comments is a very practical way to learn about a codebase! Beyond some high level code organization stuff that exists in a readme, learning a codebase is really about getting a history lesson of how the product evolved, the company pivoted, and the team re-org'd.

It'll be 6-months if you're lucky. Try figuring out why there's a particular "if" clause, one or two or four years later. Software maintenance, especially when the original author has moved onto another team/organization/company/career, is a frustrating art of almost remembered stories and hoping that you can figure out Chesterton's fence, lest it become Chesterton's barbed wire. The worst is when you fix a small bug with code and introduce an even bigger big in the process.
And here I am today, with Compiz Alike windows and magic lamp effect, Burn My Windows, Blur My Shell, Desktop Cube, and of course, Useless Gaps on GNOME. I love it.
This is what bugs me most about this whole web3 situation, if people want to dump their money into these ponzi-scheme pump and dump bs be my guest, but then naming it web3 isn't very nice.

To then attach all kinds of good qualities to it that are not shown, nor proven, and often demonstrable incorrect just finishes it off.

As you say, a lot of the bigger ideas claimed to be part of this "new" web3 thing aren't new, and are interesting ideas that should be further explored, it would be much better without the ponzi sauce.
It's amazing to me that this article presents the "hard choices" as mostly "should we trade off harming children against harming adults?", rather than "should we trade off not harming anyone against people's freedom to choose to go about their normal lives while unvaccinated?" and only mentions the unvaccinated offhandedly.

It's less that the US has chosen to prioritize adults over children and thus children are suffering, and more that the US has chosen to prioritize the freedom to be selfish and ignorant over both adults and children, and thus everyone is suffering. Make vaccination a requirement for (both foreign and) domestic flights. Make it a requirement for attending any public event. Make it a requirement for eating at any restaurant. Make it a requirement for parents who want to send their kids to school. Make a process whereby those relatively few adults who legitimately can't be vaccinated due to e.g. medical reasons have an exception (other countries have already done so). Make the willfully unvaccinated have to stay at home because society is closed to those who care more about making a point about "freedom" than about harming everyone else in it.
The person you’re responding to asked only about teachers though.
This cannot be mentioned enough. It's such a weird bias. Just repeated again with the bizarre delay of the critical Pfizer medication that statement was unethical to not give to the control group but ok to delay approval for months.

Typically it's based on self reported domain expertise and general hiring interests that you express to the recruiter - to check your competence in what you claim your competence is.
But overall the hiring process is slowly changing and now you're more likely to be targeting more specific area of the company, and then your interviewers have a high chance to later be ones during team matching calls.
When I started interviewing, I went for a year of ~2 interviews a week and never saw anyone I'd know on the list of other interviewers. Now it's getting more and more likely (other interviewers for example also work at Research and we are interviewing candidates targeting Research).
Aha, you worked on Salsify too!

Dropped the last frame before an IDR is a very clever hack to sync things up.
I can see from your comment history you are catholic. I don't see any point playing the "yes" "no" game with someone. I doubt you are going to convince me of your ethics, I doubt I will convince you of mine.
The schools are funded with rivers of cash. It's simply squandered. More money won't help (that's been tried many times).

To make schools safe is simple - hold classes outside. It won't work everywhere everytime, but it can work enough. It'll work fine in California, Arizona, Seattle most of the time, etc.
The VC didn’t call themselves VC. Any Vietnamese person you meet in the US today is unlikely to be “VC”. It’s like calling Germans Nazis.
This sentiment seems strange in 2022. Vaccines for teachers have been widely available for almost a year now.
I'm led to understand that the "Ivy League" tier is in fact not that popular due to the exorbitant subscription fees.
I find that many western households don’t know how to cook vegetables. Often mushy and overcooked. I as an adult don’t enjoy eating that either.
What has this got to do with covid? Also, guns have been more easily available in the past than they are now.

Access to guns isn’t causing the uptick in school shootings. If we knew what was causing it, perhaps we could address the problem.
Do you actually have any knowledge of the product, or are you just quoting a support page? I wouldn't trust a support page's definition of "opt-in"
The parents don't create that pressure though. Americans use school as childcare because we don't have adequate childcare. People don't have leave, paid or otherwise, to take care of their children at home, but they must go to work anyway.

This is a labor issue, not an "individuals are mean" problem.
I might be an asshole here but I’ll just call it: you’re jealous and you can either stop being jealous or stop being friends with them. They can’t do anything. There will be always people with more money and less money than you, more attractive and ugly people around you. If you let it get under your skin, then no matter if you have a boat, you’ll have a friend with a huge yacht. There is no ceiling. Good luck.
> maybe you need to start looking for new friends. The kind who wouldn't think twice coming over to your "shit rental"

I think it's more complicated than that. I'm lucky enough at this point in my life to have enough money to afford a nice house and nice toys, and not worry much about money. I also have absolutely zero issue going to hang out with friends who have much less than me. I really don't care at all. Some of my happiest years were when I was younger and poor. I had just barely enough money to make ends meet most of the time, was living in a back room of a dirty little house with three other roommates, and I was living happy because I liked who I was with. I get that money and real worth are two very different things and enjoy people for who they are, not where they're at.

But sometimes I can clearly feel the awkwardness coming at me when I hang out with people who are significantly less well off than I am and they know it. I'm usually not sure how to handle it, and typically end up just not hanging out with them much. I sometimes also find similar situations hanging out with people who have a lot more than I do. With some people it works fine, with others I can tell by what they say and how they act that they're uncomfortable because of the difference.
I just don't see how "ask Google / the government to tell me the identities of its customers" could be seen as a positive of the current system for 99% of cases. Especially given that Google likely won't even have the information, especially for an account created to commit serious crimes warranting NSA snooping or legal intervention. Just like creating a private key, you don't need a SSN or a passport to create a Google account, or most other email providers.

I feel like you are intentionally ignoring the dangers of SSO tied to a company that can unilaterally delete your account, and has little incentive to unlock it or even let you plead your case.

Cheers.
It works for 10-year-olds, and I'd say it works for younger children too. The problem is needing supervision (curiosity leads to doing some very harmful things, and that's not even considering bouts of malice…).

If children want to learn, and they can learn, there's no stopping them (except with video games, television, toys, a field, a garden, a paved area, a woodland, the fact that books make a loud noise every time you close them, other children… but apart from the first two, I see no problem with that).
1. Don't define yourself by your home or other posessions, define yourself by your values e.g. how you help others.

2. You did not elaborate in your post what is the reason for your own situation, but having a rental home implies you still have a bank account with a positive balance, even a regular income, so this is is not really "bottom"; and I hope for you that you will never know what "real bottom" means.

3. Rene Girard's main concept is "mimetic theory," which states that most of human behavior is based upon imitation. The imitation of desires leads to conflict, and when a buildup of conflict threatens to destroy all involved, they use a scapegoat to return to balance. Girard is a philosopher that Peter Thiel and some others have been much influenced by. Reading your post reminded me about his theory how people start to fight (like the biblical brothers Cain & Abel) once they start to compare themselves to one another and envy emerges.

4. So ask yourself: before seeing those successful friends/relatives, did you feel good about yourself? Do you have friends that if you had any kind of trouble, would stand by your side? Do you have a loving partner/family? Is there something that you like about your home, perhaps a property that made you decide to rent that one over others at the time? Using such questions you may overcome the habit of comparing purely materialistic matters.

5. I own a house, but I live in a crappy rental home which is walking distance to my work instead. If it helps you, I know some very wealthy people that I would never want to change with. Some have become materialistic, others have become afraid for their safety, and others still have started buying ugly things just to show of status and wealth (pitty for them). I also have some relatives in the U.S. that went from "poor" to "millionaire" via a combination of hard work and luck and then back to "poor" due to bad investment advice. Nobody has ever taken $1 to where they go after they die!
The customers do complain, but they only care about wafer yield and throughput. They will accept any dirty software hack or manual procedure to circumvent issues _now_.
> A well-designed interactive GUI application can absolutely interact with the filesystem on its main thread without any impact to responsiveness what-so-ever. You only need threads once you need more CPU time.

Hmm. If you call open()/read()/close() on the main thread and it causes a high latency network operation because that user happens to have their home directory on a network file system like NFS or SMB, your application will appear to hang. When you design applications you can’t just assume your users have the same setup as you.

> The POSIX interfaces provide sufficient non-blocking functionality for this to be true

POSIX file system IO is always blocking, even with O_NONBLOCK. You can use something like io_uring to do non blocking file system io but that would no longer be POSIX.

> Whether or not code is buggy does not depend on whether or not the author comments on the matter.

That would depend on if you knew more about how the code is intended to work than the original author of the code. Do you presume to know more about how this code is intended to work than the original author?
This is a great insight of a consequence that is unlikely to be considered.

>Jan. 16-18, 1857: The Great Blizzard’s foot of snow and wind wrecked ships at sea and almost buried Norfolk under 20-foot snowdrifts. Virginia’s rivers froze. At the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, one could walk from the lighthouse 100 yards on the frozen Atlantic.

Amazing... It really puts a 14 inch snowstorm into perspective.
Completely false. I know a ton of rich people, and their lives are so much better after coming into money. This is literally the biggest lie ever told. The possibilities in life go way up with money, you are no longer bogged down by a 9 to 5 job, you can really develop yourself in ways that may take decades to realize
> Few VCs [...] want the industry perception that they get founders investigated for fraud when things go sideways.

That would be refreshing! I might pitch to them.
> What I don't understand is why so many people seem to view it that way.

It's classic minimization. You see it all the time when someone is motivated to ignore reality, or is suffering from a condition that makes it hard to accept reality. A heroin addict might say that shooting heroin isn't a big deal because they haven't died from it yet, even if they have a history of overdosing.
There was that Kaspersky incident.

TL;DR Kaspersky inadvertently acquired confidential NSA hacking tools from an NSA employee home computer with their AV product installed in it.
Effect of psilocybin on cognitive and emotional function in healthy participants
It's more about the kinds of conversations my friends and I are having. I have a rich friend and I actually helped them become more rich. And I felt damn good about it.
If it really has the backing of Google, I could imagine it being deployed into Chrome and available on some Google sites this year. It would be nice if other browser makers gave early indications of support too, as that should give confidence to web developers that it's worth experimenting with and deploying.

Also, I'm sure that it will be designed to work in a backwards compatible way, i.e. the page can detect whether the feature is supported and fall back to a traditional username/password or social login system as needed.
There was an article[1] posted here a while back which changed my perspective on this issue.

Indeed, there's nothing wrong with induced demand on its own. In any other market, more demand induced by lower costs (whether those costs be monetary or in the form of commute times) would almost certainly be a good thing. The only reason it's a potential issue for roads is that road use is an externality.

Building and maintaining efficient roadways comes at a significant cost, but our current system of road construction funded primarily by income taxes means road users don't pay that cost in a manner proportional to their use of those roads. Road construction is "free" from their perspective, so there's no incentive to use alternative means of transportation even if those alternatives would be superior overall once road construction and maintenance costs were factored in.

Because of this it's hard to be sure whether the demand induced by increased supply of roadways is worth the cost in any particular instance. It could be a worthwhile increase in utility, or it could just be a waste of money.

Highly unlikely. My wife taught children who came out of Sarajevo in the mid-90s and many of them have gone on to excel in life.

Children are resilient. What is _hurting_ them is not the school closures, but the panic and uncertainty that some people have put around this.
It doesn’t bring happiness, no, but not having to particularly worry about what things cost, or whether you can afford an unexpected expense makes a huge difference to quality of life. I started broke - unable to pay rent, eating bulk rice with stolen ketchup, defaulting on medical debts - and damn did it suck. Now it’s just “pay the money, move on, forget about it”. I also extend this to friends when I see they are facing a steamroller, as I haven’t forgotten the sleepless nights, and nor have my stumps of teeth. I don’t do debts, just a hope that if and when I find myself against the wall, they’ll be there for me in whatever measure they can muster.

It hasn’t brought happiness, but it has removed one huge element of worry from my existence.

I’m still depressed, but that’s independent of any external factors, and I’ve grown to not mind it - being depressed is nowhere near as bad when you have a comfort blanket of cash.
Good to know. I believe the genetic markers are pretty well known for some disorders; perhaps a component in diagnostics besides family history (which can be an issue if your parent was never diagnosed, died young, you’re adopted, etc).
Modern society is just the result of countless generations of the human tendency to quantify. We just have so many things quantified now that our problems tend to be more "using the wrong quantifications" rather than "not having the right quantifications."
All I hear from you is whining, from the first sentence to the very last.

Either suck it up and utilize your anger and envy as impetus for changing your situation into one that you're satisfied with, detach your own self worth from that of your friends or continue to be a baby and keep crying in your slum.

my mother came from a family of cotton pickers, I got a leg up and my children will be getting an even bigger leg up.

This might seem unnecessarily harsh but crying will get you nowhere.
> What do you think they can do when he’ll tell them about his feeling?

Talk about it so they can understand each other? You don't just drop the one-liner and hope they change their ways accordingly. Hell, they don't need to change at all. Just talking about it could cause OP to realize his friends don't care about that sort of thing and reduce or rid of their feeling of shame.

Some people can be okay not talking about how they feel; however, OP is clearly not currently okay, so doing something is the only way something will change. If OP cannot change their own feelings theirself, OP can either get different friends or try to talk to their current friends. And if you are willing to get different friends, you may as well try to talk to your current ones first.

> If you’re commenting on this thread and offering advice, I encourage you add the context of whether you are one of those who have money or not.

And since OP asked, I'm too young to have accumulated wealth to be jealous of, but I feel comfortable with my current job and am optimistic of my future.

For the first half of your comment I just kept say "that takes money" in my head over and over and then you said it. Pure and simple, this comes down to money or rather the lack thereof. When I was younger I had heavily considered going into teaching until I learned how little they make and how shitty parents are to them (not all, but enough to make their jobs hell if they want). After the last two years I cannot imagine why anyone would go into teaching (or nursing for that matter). Both groups bent over backwards (by and large, obviously you are going to always have a few duds) to continue to provide the best service they could and were treated terribly (and paid terribly) in return.

Plenty of people (including some in these comments) want to wax poetic about "think of the children" or "the children are our future" but I have a hard time those same people are willing to put their money where their mouth is. Why we aren't shoveling money into education (before the pandemic as well) is completely beyond me and that's coming from someone who is childless. I'm more than happy to see my taxes go up if the money is going towards education.
Why does it have to be untreated? That seems like a bizarre criterion. It’s much easier to treat DTs than it is to treat a psychological addiction.
I've always hated driving around Seattle, but a few years ago I was bumming around for a few days in my Miata and it was a whole different experience. Having a tiny car that can go anywhere and park anywhere is awesome.
I have several multi-millionaire friends; at times I’ve received work from them, and at times it has been a decent wage, but when things go sour, you don’t just lose a client, you lose a friend.

That is to say: taking advantage of their wealthy situation is a good way to lose your friendship.
The idea that highways are “never” a solution due to induced demand is an utter falsehood. It may well be that the expense of sufficient highway capacity is, in some cases, more than society is willing to bear. But that does not mean that highway construction is “never” a solution.
this is horse shit. the overall well-being of children has been declining for decades. now it has reached its precipice and snobby NYT says its because of the virus. its just a way to deflect from the truth which is that we have created a culture that enables kids to be shitty. the inmates have been running the asylum for a decade plus at our public schools. the environment that kids grow up in now is one where nobody is in control of what they experience. i remember when facebook first came out and i saw all my friends invest into it 100%. nobody ever asked, wait a second, isnt this unhealthy? isnt creating a points system for socializing a bit unfair to the less popular kids? isnt it sort of crazy to give facebook all of this information? i did my part and never made an account but nobody else did their part and nobody ever asked whether or not it was a good idea to make facebook a default entity in the lives of our children. something that everyone uses "because" and you cant choose to opt out without serious consequences for you social life which is a huge deal at that age. that was the contribution of the millennials to the the environment for our children. good job! children need an environment that is deliberately and thoughtfully controlled. not micro-managed, but controlled. soon the damage will be so great that even the dumbest people will realize this finally.
Normal is still pretty shitty when compared to being a member of the aristocratic leisure class. Of course there are diminishing returns to the happiness value of money, but it's a hell of a lot higher than being a normal middle class American.
Could be. I think the most interesting part of the article is that they have identified a limit of archeology. They discovered wealthy and powerful groups that don't exist according to archeology because they didn't leave behind buildings. The royal purple dye was very interesting as well.
