I love it when NPR segues to an ethnic studies professor to present the “POC view.” Professor Chavez attained tenure by winning the favor of the University of Wisconsin faculty—which, outside the engineering department, has got to be one of the whitest group of people in the country apart from NPR management.
Yeah, but these new libraries are nice for the use case where you want to add something like an upvote button or inline comments, where otherwise you'd have to spin up an API endpoint and write some JS.

This is what I had thought. And in the way this is written, it’s clear that querer does not have a clear English translation. No English speaker would truly understand the proper meaning and context with which querer is used without knowing some Spanish.

The problem with this list in particular is that it's composed of user submissions on Reddit, where people probably only know their language + English + maybe a third language.

For example, "björntjänst" under Swedish. If you actually check the Reddit post, you can see that people have posted "niedźwiedzia przysługa" (Polish), "Bärendienst" (German), "medveđa usluga" (Serbocroatian) and "bjørnetjeneste" (Norwegian) as the literal same word. I can also confirm that the Finnish "karhunpalvelus" is also a literal one-to-one translation.

Holy cow, some of these features seem really useful. I should look at some of those other window managers!

> customized through editing its source code

Yikes, this is a very bad idea. This kind of customization is very hard to split off from the tool, share, version-control, and verify. Customization in a full, general-purpose imperative programming language is also a bad idea. Either make the tool a platform (Emacs) or use a declarative configuration language.

I have an ominous feeling that this is going to lead to a title-based flamewar. Some quotes that might help head that off:

> The 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine was awarded to William C. Campbell and Satoshi Ömura for their discoveries leading to ivermectin. In addition to its extraordinary efficacy against parasitic diseases, ivermectin continues to offer new clinical applications[...] an increasing body of evidence points to the potential of ivermectin as an antiviral agent.

> Despite this promise, the antiviral activity of ivermectin has not been consistently proven in vivo. While ivermectin's activity against SARS-CoV-2 is currently [October 2020] under investigation in patients, insufficient emphasis has been placed on formulation challenges. Here, we discuss challenges surrounding the use of ivermectin in the context of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19)...

TLDR: Ivermectin turns out to have a lot of uses. Over a year ago, scientists noted that it might be useful for treating COVID-19, but anticipated that there would be problems with using it for that and suggested some possible solutions to do research on.
And this after the edit is the main purpose here. Tricking Knowledge Graph into regurgitating bad info, and then claiming that their site never states Zendesk is open source, and Google just misunderstood.
When a company lies in their advertising, typically you can take them to court and get relief.

If a car dealer advertises "free floormat with purchase", and they don't give you a floormat, you sue them. If it makes it all the way to the courtroom, it's an open-and-shut case.

Based on this advertising, I bet someone with the right lawyer could compel ZenDesk to release their source. In fact I hope this happens, then maybe companies will think twice before making false claims like this
Generally in C++ one should use Type name = Type( args... ) style to be the least surprising. Prior to C++20 that would be aggregates. It's really too bad that initializer_list gets special treatment, and it's universally wart in C++. The alternative would have been vector{ { 1,2,3} } and that would have been fine.

I cycled through dwm at one point. The thing that killed me was that on my nvidia machine, for some reason it would flash when I changed desktops, like the draw order was wrong. i3 is the only tiling window manager that didn't, I think because it uses xcb instead of xlib.

I love the magical bullshit in the description. Each line contains some face palm.

> dwm doesn't distinguish between layers: there is no floating or tiled layer. Whether or not the clients of currently selected tag(s) are in tiled layout, you can rearrange them on the fly. Popup and fixed-size windows are always floating, however.

Ok so it does have floating then?

> Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions. There are some distributions that provide binary packages though.

Ok so you can package then....?

> dwm is only a single binary, and its source code is intended to never exceed 2000 SLOC.

Strange flex but ok.

> dwm has no Lua integration, no 9P support, no shell-based configuration, no remote control, and comes without any additional tools, such as for printing the selection or warping the mouse.

It uses x, x warps the mouse.

> dwm is customized through editing its source code, which makes it extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which isn't known at compile time, except window titles and status text read from the root window's name.

ok so there is input that could hacked (not saying there IS, but if you process strings or floats from the user those can contain unexpected values).

All that said, suckless tools are nice, just think the mindset is hilarious.
Out of the million safe ways to say the negotiation is not over, quite a lot are so obscure that most employees would not even pick up on the subleties.

> At this stage, I could spend time optimizing the code. Ideas include (thanks to Andrey Petrov) isolating int-to-byte conversions, using bitmaps to determine leading zero bytes, and reducing allocations by using arrays.

Another easy speed up would be using an intrinsic [0] to count leading zeroes which would just call the lzcnt instruction [1] (or equivalent) and skip the need for a loop for difficulty <=64.

I love software engineering and working with other coders. That said, the second I'm able to retire comfortably, I won't bat an eye.

I might still decide to work on something but very not primarily software. Maybe I'll teach, work on something more manual or do volunteer work.

Thankfully my wife doesn't read HN.
Maybe.

But since you're a BWT nerd, you'll enjoy my story. I used to work at Google and was well-placed at a key time, sitting near Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat while launching Google Cloud Genomics. One day, I invited Richard Durbin (one of the innovators in using BW for genomics) to stop by and give Jeff and Sanjay a quick update on his work in sequence compression and indexing. it was great to be a fly on that wall.

At the end of the talk I mentioned that Burrows of Burrows-Wheeler was just down the hall if Richard wanted to chat with him as well. Unfortunately Mike wasn't in the office that day, otherwise I would have been able to cross "Be present when the inventor of an important and subtle algorithm meets a user who has applied it for state of the art research in an unexpectedly productive way" off my bucket list.

As for the bias, sure, but it's fairly small, and I can adjust on the fly to give every candidate a reasonable attempt to solve the problem. I can also give the problem without any reference to biology

It seems like a massive waste that we've decided to essentially kick someone like you, with lots of experience who isn't really all that old, out of the workforce. But that's a dumb thing we decided to do as a society so, not your fault, so enjoy retirement!

In a well-run system I guess we'd offer engineers in their mid 50's a role that incrementally decreases the amount of work done directly, and overtime refocuses to an advisor role. Institutionalize that experience. Maybe every couple years decrease the number of days worked per week.
A plural system is multiple identities or personalities in one body/mind. Plural systems are increasingly demanding to be recognized and respected as such -- and companies are starting to comply.

Getting things to market is a lengthy endeavour, a long term project with many stages.

Finding land, that is suitable, renting the land, matching the crop to the land, acquiring the seeds, planting, watering, weeding for many months. Losing crops due to weather, harvesting, storing (renting a structure to store in), preparing for transport.

Then transporting them to market, then selling them etc.

A bridge the cart crosses twice (once to and once from market) provides perhaps 1% of the necessary effort.

If Apple charged 1% of revenue, or perhaps 5% of profit, that might be fair for the bridge.

Many/most things have expenses nearly matching revenue, so their profit is low. If it costs $90 to hire land, hire a shed, hire a cart, hire labour, get wiped out by weather sometimes, hire a market stall, hire market sellers and so forth, and your revenue from the sales is $100, then your profit margin is 10%. Apple would honestly be asking too much at 30% of profit. But in this situation Apple is taking 30% of REVENUE.

If someone on HN posts my example quote about flat earth theory, do you think that anyone is under an obligation to calmly explain just why flat earth theory is wrong?

Of course, you could claim that flat earth theory is so disproven that there's no need to even bother, whereas "the lockdowns are to stop public unrest" theory might have something to it, so if I want to criticize it, I should explain all the evidence that says it's false.

We're just going to have to agree to disagree. From my POV, this idea is so utterly and obviously false prima facie that I'm under no more obligation to explain my dismissal of it than I would be in the flat earth case.

Also, where did I opt for "divisive insults"?

I'm surprised that there's no option in the poll for people who leave because they no longer believe the company is viable.

Why stay until the ship sinks? How many rounds of lay-offs have to occur before you start polishing up the resume? For me, one. Or even before layoffs, if there's an acquisition is in the works, boom, I am outta there (unless management specifically says I am not impacted). 8 jobs in 22 years, 1+2+4+1+2+2+2+8, of these 8 only 3 still exist or are recognizable as part of another company (including the one I am still at).

First, let’s acknowledge that “odds approaching 0” is your opinion. I happen to have a different one.

Sure, no problem. I tend to roll with the belief that essentially everything posted here is "just somebody's opinion" (with few rare exceptions) and I've grown away from bothering to preface everything with "in my opinion" or "IME" or whatever. I consider that to be assumed.
> I only promote from within the company, I never hire external management and it's a principle I strongly value.

I won’t comment on the others but this specific point is huge, and I have a lot of respect for leaders who decide to follow this path. On average it ends up being incredible for morale.

It has always been rather demotivating doing hard work at a company just to see external leaders and managers come in, take all the credit or make decisions without full context. In one instance I’ve seen it nearly destroyed the company: a director was hired who started imposing silly decisions that caused multiple people to get severely pissed off. Only after many months and several key people leaving (founding engineers with immense knowledge of the business) the executives woke up and fired this person. What a wasteful sacrifice of talent.

In my ideal company, everyone on the technical side would need to join as senior engineer, and be promoted from there. Of course relevant talent will be lost because some effective leaders will not be willing to go through the gauntlet, but it’s a fair price to pay nonetheless. I assert that a good subset of engineers who deeply know the systems of a company make for excellent leaders of that company.
I hadn't thought of the connection yet, but now that you mention it there are indeed a lot of parallels. Thank you for pointing this out! :)

Dutch DPA: Use of Google Analytics will soon likely not be allowed
Not good either. The city isn't putting enough effort into supporting these individuals, and their choice of shelter locations is mindbogglingly in a lot of cases, but perhaps that's more of a "which came first" thing.

There are a few great programs that I think have a lot of potential (Community First Village, The Other Ones Foundation, House the Homeless), but there's a lot of NIMBY for it.

On top of that, there's a lot of trash and messy camps in places that don't help the fight. The underpasses around here got real bad for a year or two which caused a recent vote on a camping ban that effectively made their encampments illegal. It doesn't solve the problem and only serves to keep these people in danger and without a solid place to rebuild their lives, but when using the underpasses becomes dangerous due to the trash lying around and ending up in the turn-arounds it's a hard thing to live with.

Community First Village and Other Ones Foundation does a lot to help by providing places for these individuals to rebuild their lives, but the shitty wages and rising housing costs make it hard too.

Efficiently being able to source a test when needed may serve to reduce the load on the medical system.

As of today, if I want a test, my options are

* private seller - hard to source with high demand and expensive for those with limited income

* public test center - availability is a nightmare right now

* medical provider, be it PCP or ER

I don’t personally know how many people are choosing option 3, but anecdotally I have heard from friends and colleagues that they’ve chosen it for when their kids/they are sick.

There’s also an interesting side effect here: every at-home positive is a positive public health authorities won’t know about.

Well, it's possible the author believes what they wrote in which case it would be "false information believed to be true intended to teach" but I'm pretty sure this is active misinformation.

I'm not sure which particular thing public health people said that you're complaining about in the last part of the section- but I don't really think that public health leaders who communicate things which aren't 100% correct are dissemination disinformation.
