"Who will be the company that starts to treat their employees in a manner that proves they are worth staying at? This may mean higher pay raises, the CEO taking some of their profit (and the shareholders and VCs), and sharing it with the employees."

You're right!

Competition between management teams for investment ensures that, absent some other force constraining competition, it isn't sustainable for most management teams to break out of this race to the bottom. The exceptions - firms that have a quasi-monopolistic market position - prove the rule.

"Letting employees unionize, etc."

Employees don't need permission from their employer to unionize in the United States or any other high income country. It is entirely the decision of the workers; if a majority want to form a union, the employer is obligated to bargain with them.

Historically, this is how the race to the bottom has been halted.
I am not a researcher in the sense that I'm not publishing papers but I'm a consumer of research. Every day I can find the source code for the paper is a great day. Even if it's some language I don't use I still have something to go off of. Often it's easier to red some code to understand the method than to read the paper itself. I'm used to read code. I do it almost everyday and I'm relatively proficient at it. I'm not very well at untangling academic language or having to read 30 years worth of papers to get all the assumptions made in a paper.

As an example, I've found a paper that promises a method to do the very thing I want to accomplish. It's not too dense but it skips a few crucial moments and I've been working on coding the method for a year now (on and off, of course but still for a long time). If the code was available it probably wouldn't take as long. The paper didn't mention that the code was available upon request but it was implemented in a piece of software. I've found it eventually but it was a version just before the feature I'm after was added. I tracked the author and they were great sport about cold emails bet didn't have the source any more.

So yes, please publish the code. You don't have to clean it up. It worked for the paper — it's good enough. Even the most terrible code is immeasurably better than no code.
Sri Chinmoy, who started the race, saw running as a form of "external meditation". So I suspect it's intentional that the course is so mind-numbing.

> So you immediately pinpointed the difference: with Node I can run my own registry and easily set up npm/yarn to never load packages from anywhere else. Deno loads code from random urls.

Which is why we support a) import maps which allow you to rewrite all URLs however you want, and b) HTTP_PROXY, which allows you to intercept all HTTP traffic (also letting you rewrite all specifiers).

I don't know if you have ever worked on a Go project, but it has a very similar registry proxy situation as Deno. It works well.

You got me there on that technicality, but since I already defined at the beginning of my post that being a pedohpile is only about arousal I think it was clear that the last sentence referred to pedophiles who actually enact on their desires.

You are so wrong. If you would have done maybe 3 minutes of Googling you would know we support import maps, which allow you to arbitrary rewrite specifiers, even deep inside of the module graph.
I had a similar experience in spite of not needing any R, living and working in several English speaking countries. My name is Mathias, and the variety of ways English speakers called me was a proper issue, in the sense that I sometimes didn't even recognize that somebody was talking about me, or calling me across a workshop. When I started introducing myself as "Matt", all became easy. Never had this issue with pretty much any other culture I worked with :D (all kinds of Europeans and Arabs mainly)

If it's about Rs, I worked on an oil rig with a Mexican guy named Javier. The American OIM had such hard time telling "Javier" (with the two different gutturals) on the tannoy, Javier got called "George" for the rest of our stay.

Is it truly necessary to use such an archaic laptop to get the two essential features described at the beginning of the article: ultra-light weight and a trackpoint? I know the Surface Go 3 is light enough, but IIRC the type cover has a touchpad, not a trackpoint. In theory, with the ongoing miniaturization of electronics, there should be a modern option that meets these criteria. But of course, the mass-market nature of hardware means that there won't always be a current-generation device that is optimal for a disabled user like the author of this article.

Why bother? I did the whole shebang, bought a reader, a new processor, a compatible OLED tv and everything, I could only read a UHD bluray at 30fps if I used the integrated intel card, so had to do crazy config changes to boot correctly without my nvidia, with no HDR and that worked only with an expensive PowerDVD software.

So I gave up, googled rarbg and can get the same stuff in perfect quality in a few minutes. UHD killed legal "dvds" for me, it's so stupid.
One other thing kindly taken from the Ars comments [1] and expanded upon a bit: if anyone else would like to bulk-export their steam keys from this, go to https://www.humblebundle.com/home/keys and open the developer console and paste in:

$('.keyfield-value').toArray().forEach((x) => x.click())

After redeeming the keys you can use the following to get an array of them:

var myKeys = $('.unredeemed-keys-table tr').toArray().slice(1).map((tr) => [tr.getElementsByTagName('h4')[0].innerHTML, tr.getElementsByClassName('keyfield-value')[0].innerHTML])
var stringMe = ''; myKeys.forEach((element) => { stringMe=stringMe+(element[1])+","}); console.log(stringMe)

Once you've got that, this greasemonkey script might be of interest to bulk-activate them [2]

I encourage anyone at the start of their career, or even while still in university to consider studying -- in parallel, on the side, just as an interest -- another skill or trade, such as building, electrics, or plumbing. These practical professions cannot be off-shored, or machine-learned out of existence, and the country is crying out for well-qualified practitioners.

Not only will you have a better (than zero) understanding of the trade, you'll know what to look for when hiring others to work on your property, be able to do some jobs yourself (subject to local building codes and regulations), and you'll at least have something in mind as a possible alternative when you get sick of computers and / or computing jobs, instead of starting looking for alternatives from a standing start.

Aside from all that, you might find it more interesting and enjoyable than you first imagine, and it does the mind a power of good to think about something else in a different way for a change, so win/win... :-)
We have a winner! Thank you so much!

Depends on the field. Let's assume you are not in math /CS/Physics

What can go "wrong"

- Someone may find a minor rounding error and now you have to issue a correction to the paper which, laudable as it is, is a bad thing

- You 'll end up having to maintain an open-source-something and possibly forks

- Your open source code may end up as a github repo in which you are just one of the contributors, not the owner and others are leeching credit from u

- People who want to criticise you will find excuses in the coding style.

Research code is messy -- it must be messy imho, or else it's probably insignificant. People who don't publish it are definitely shielded by the obscurity , while i have received scrutiny for entirely inconsequential details. You can choose to publish it in a less accessible way , which will thwart people with bad intentions. Even publishing it as a tarball in a web server is enough work to keep them away.

Solar photovoltaics cost $0,01 per kilowatt hour in 2021 and will get two orders of a magnitude cheaper in the next decades. This cost projection is based on physics.
Why would you be interested in more expensive sources?

I have followed these developments for a while. I think these days the harassment is much more likely to come from the "woke" crowd towards anybody they don't like. that is what I meant by forced diversity training, where non-minority people are told they are guilty of all evil in the world and they should tread on egg shells around "diverse people" and keep their head down.

Obviously the woke themselves see it differently. I didn't mean to discuss the pros and cons, merely to point out that the overly political correctness control is also toxic. I mean there are literally protests to get people fired because they offended the woke sensibilities. If that is not toxic, then what?

"woke" does not mean being aware of discrimination in the workplace, it means believing in the whole ideology of people being constantly held back by discrimination, with certain people to be blamed for every problem in the world.
I worked for Best Buy and we have a hiring group that is focused on hiring people that have made career transitions, and give them opportunities in entry level roles. We actually take it a step further, we have a program that will pay someone as a contractor, while they go through a 6 month bootcamp, with the goal of hiring them after. This program reserves sports for people that are looking to transition into engineering.
Similarly and for the same reasons, they have a lot of trouble combining the Spanish R with the Spanish G or J sound. Spanish words such as "jarra," "Jorge," or "rojo" tend to be very difficult even for Lusophones who are advanced Spanish speakers. But I agree that Portuguese is a lot more phonetically complex than most (if not all) Western European languages.
Italians and Spaniards should have an easy time understanding at least some Brazilian portuguese. European Portuguese is _really_ hard, though, because our vowels are all sorts of weird. When I moved to London, it really struck me how people speaking Russian sounded to me like they were speaking Portuguese, which always forced a double take when I tried to “tune in” and realised it wasn’t my own language.
As a Spanish speaker who has studied Portuguese, I love this.

My first time in Portugal was a mess — I couldn’t understand anything. There were a few words I kept hearing people say that got me really mixed up: “Morrer” (to die) sounds a lot like “Mujer” (woman) in Spanish, whereas “Morar” (to live) sounds a lot like “Morir” (to die).
Nim Community Survey 2021 Results
This was few years back when I was working for a leading semico. The semico was trying to get into mobile business. I was hired in their relatively new mobile business division to work on software. After a year or two, the semico failed to get into the mobile business. So internally the team was dispersed into various other divisions. I was working remotely(though from company office; yes, this sounds oxymoron I know. But did I mention I was working for a very big company :) ) at that time. So obviously there was some question mark hanging over my head on what should I do next. After a few days of this internal reshuffling at the company, I observed a Google recruiter viewed my LinkedIn profile. The recruiter was from Japan. I am located in Europe. The next day, I saw that another recruiter from Google viewed by LinkedIn profile. This time the recruiter was from Brazil. Over the next few weeks Google recruiters from various offices across the world(except from the country where I am located) were looking at my LinkedIn profile. And finally after a few weeks a Google recruiter from my country emailed me asking me whether I would be interested in joining Google. I replied her back asking her what job are they recruiting for. And she replied, "Google does not work this way. Once a candidate is selected, the candidate chooses where s/he wants to work. It will be upto you to decide what you want to work on and where you want to work. We do not have a specific job spec for you."

This brought back memories of few years prior to that when similar thing happened to me with Microsoft. It was even more enlightening on how aggressive these companies are with recruitment.
FWIW, this is how I've released the crappy barely-working "academic quality" code for a paper in the past:

https://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/cd4-histone-paper-code

The main points are that I made only a minimal attempt to organize it, and I made the state of the code clear in the README. I don't recall anyone complaining about the code or even mentioning it during review. (Though to be fair, I also don't recall whether I published the code before or after the paper was accepted.)

Looking at things from the other side, I'm am at least an order of magnitude more likely to read, use the work/methods from, and therefore cite a paper that comes with code.
The original article Irish Times articles is not even available without a paywall, yet it is quoted by the topic of this argument without further evidence.

Great claims require, great evidence, especially on such a delicate topic. If a household scientific name will be judged as pedophile, so be it! But please, get historians and primary source evidence; not a newspaper article behind a paywal.

The sentence you quote is from Joe Humphreys[1] a journalist for the Irish Times itself. I could not find any biography or peer reviews work on Schrodinger by him[1]. Again it is not about whether it is not true or not. The whole article makes a lot of claims which touch very sensitive topics that should be accurately and precisely described with at least mention of original sources or authorities. Unfortunately it seems we have Joe Humphreys' word :(

We've been using Blazor for about 2 years now and it's been a really good ride so far. Server-side mode isn't for every application, but all of our stuff is internal-only so it works perfectly at our scale.

Definitely not "zero" JS, but our JS interop source file is only ~200 lines of code at the moment.

We have some incredibly complicated UI interactions (essentially canvas drawing) which would be a nightmare to synchronize state for. Being able to keep all that state server-side makes it way easier to cope with. Our clients are basically just a dumb terminal on the other side of a websocket.
Who knows, maybe they are reading this thread. Maybe they will do me a solid and make it really easy to switch off of this gross teal-brown-yellow that they are obsessed with.

So far all Cosmic UI has been immune to normal GTK theming.

> During this period, there is no energy-transferring chain of physical cause-and-effect that goes all around the wire loop, and it would, of course, upend physics if there were!

Even before the steady state is achieved, there is an energy-transferring chain of physical cause-and-effect that is moving (at limited speed, ~c) along the wire (but not all around the wire loop yet) - this is of course the moving electric and magnetic field caused by the "chain" of electrons being pushed or pulled. Of course, that will only reach the lightbulb after ~1 second in the original experiment. At the same, time, there is a different, smaller electric field "leaking" through the air/void in a straight line from the battery to everywhere else, which will reach the lightbulb much sooner in the original configuration, and of course this is also carrying some energy.

The situation is analogous to what would happen with mechanical waves (at least qualitatively if not quantitatively) - if you were to have the same wires but a source of sound instead of the battery, and a sound detector (or a seismograph) instead of the lightbulb, you would get a pretty similar effect - the "main" sound wave would travel along the wires at the speed of sound in that medium, while some other waves would also travel through the air and ground through the much shorter straight-line distance, and register much more quickly on the seismograph. Of course, there are some significant quantitative differences - there is no sound super-conductor, so some amount of mechanical energy will always be lost along the wires; and sound travels much more slowly through air than through metal wires, so the speed difference will be less noticeable.
> Prosecute the underlying crimes and let the judicial process seize proceeds of crime after due process.

At least a basic identity check (that's the "KYC" part) must be part of bank account onboarding for that to work though. Otherwise, how would a government be able to seize the bank account of a convicted criminal if they had no way to tie the bank account to a criminal?

As for the anti money laundering regulations: these are a very fine line to balance. Personally, I'd like for these to go away the earlier the better since I agree with you that the potential for dragnet-style abuse is way too high, but on the other hand, terrorism financing is a present and clear danger worldwide.
