When I worked at a call center doing technical support, customers would often get frustrated. But as soon as they crossed the line into unprofessional, I informed them I was hanging up the call, and did. Why would anyone in a service based industry put up with customers throwing tantrums? The manager should immediately march out, give them a refund, and tell them to leave.
So I think a different angle to look at something like this is. If everyone in an area gets paid a living wage, and the people who work at a business can actually afford to be customers of that business, it actually creates more customers and businesses overall do better.

I forget the name of who put this idea forward, but businesses that barely break even when paying the absolute minimums, don't necessarily do worse if labor costs go up universally in an area, and everyone can begin to afford to use the services.

Rubocop is awesome and amazing tool when working with other engineers who may not have a background in ruby and rails, therefor are unfamiliar with best practices or conventions.
No, this job in particular creates a lot of value for this specific business. And if you read the piece, the others did too -- they've now got angry customers who arent' getting the experience the business is selling.

I'm not sure how you get to the takeaway that a bartender job will "cease to exist" if a bartender is paid a living wage? There's clearly a market demand for, in this case, alcoholic drinks in a movie theater. Labor prices are seeing upward pressure. Seems to me that if you got rid of the bartender because they cost too much, you wouldn't have a bar at your movie theater anymore.

Sure, you could talk about robotics replacing low-wage workers, and in some instances that may happen, but you're also now dealing with needing to have a robotics tech available during the Spiderman rush at your movie theater where the machine that makes the drinks is a core part of the draw. So I'm skeptical of the economic argument there as it is -- you're going to replace one or two bartenders making a living wage of $20-25/hr with a robotics tech who makes the same or less?
Actually, I was a direct report to Colin Lazier (https://twitter.com/clazier) who is the GM for DynamoDB, Keyspaces, and Glue Elastic Views. I was the original TPM for DocumentDB before joining the Professional Services team as a Senior Practice Manager to head up the NoSQL Blackbelt team which led the archtecture/design effort for Amazon's RDBMS->NoSQL migration. I was brought back to the service team by Jim Scharf to lead the technical solutions team for strategic accounts, but I maintained the org chart role of Senior Practice Manager until I left for MongoDB.

Compensation was a minor issue. I was an org chart aberration already and AWS pulled out all the stops to retain me. I will always appreciate the opportunity that AWS provided me and my time at DynamoDB will always hold a special place in my heart. I really do believe that MongoDB is poised to do great things and my decision had more to do with being a part of that than anything else.

My wife used to work at a 7-11. Those folks get abused by the people that get abused by everyone else. It was bad.

She was fortunate, in having a good manager (the franchise owner). Some local franchises actually got busted for using slave labor.

X11 is moribund. Part of why is because literally everyone who was working on it in a major way, possibly excepting Keith Packard, eventually considered it a dead end and jumped ship to Wayland.
apparently 9.3% of all '5 digit' numbers are prime, so random guessing isn't a bad strategy - you'll find one in 10.75 totally randomly chosen numbers to be prime.

Being a little smarter, prime number can only end in a 1, 3, 7 or 9 - (ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 would be even, ending in 5 would be odd), so in fact it's more like 25% of 'likely' guesses.
Heh. Probably unnecessary to make it look like it was put in the scanner misaligned. Just scan the signature itself and past that image onto the image of the document.
Protesting that workers aren't getting paid by withholding money from workers is a rationalization. In the best outcome, the customer would be paying exactly the same amount that they pay now, or more, it just wouldn't be separated or optional in the bill.

You can tell whether people complain about tipping because of fairness or just because they want a discount by whether they also complain about mandatory, fixed percentage tipping, which is really just a service fee under another name.

There is a word for "You can't prove I said that", and even though English is my only language, I can't remember the word. It feels like "repudibility". I think I'm on the right track: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/repudiate

I think it is related to forward secrecy.

Maybe the E2EE apps should have a button for that, call it something snazzy like "The 5th Amendment button" and right next to that is a button for trivially forging texts and screenshots with the app's own UI, so that everyone knows that anything can be fake.
The classic counterexample is GCC, which so contorted its design to prevent being embedded in proprietary software, that it allowed LLVM to take off as a powerful competitor not only due to its friendly license but also by virtue of being architected in a way easier to integrate with IDE software.

There are operating systems written in other languages than C.

A driver doesn't need to be implemented in C, but the kernel API is likely written in C, your code needs to talk to it somehow. If your driver is written in C, it's as simple as #include.
Former politician who focused on labor joins the workforce and learns the real truth THEN chastises customers for not tipping in the conclusion of his article?

Yes, he talks about the tough conditions of the job and customer behavior and other things, but nothing about how MAYBE legislation should change for wages (hourly service workers relying on tips in the US actually make well below the hourly minimum wage).

Sorry, for once I want to throw some outrage around about this.

This could go a lot further. I once did something similar with a rubberstamp image taken from the web, replaced some of the on-a-curve text in the GIMP, applied various filters to make the seal look like it was stamped on unevenly, and composited it over the page. Did the trick.

Would be neat to have this take a rubberstamp image and do all that work too.

Yeah, I’m sad that Firefox OS died.

Firefox OS needed those sorts of things for its “apps” since it had no lower-level “native”, and I think that they were only exposing features like that to trusted code (meaning apps you deliberately installed) rather than general web content, until they could be sure it was reasonable.

I think they also designed the OS with a better peripheral security model than Windows/Linux/macOS, nullifying or mitigating one of the two critical problems of WebUSB (that the computer trusts peripherals too much, so that one that’s hijacked can more easily become a remote code execution vulnerability).

(I write all this as one who kept a fairly close eye on Firefox OS, but has never run it.)

I'm not sure the 'missing context' label affects visibility like others do.
The modern Javascript version of that would be the same as the compiled Typescript version, the const version doesn't do the same things.

The IIFE is creating an object only if it doesn't already exist, and adds "A" and "B" to it. "var" doesn't error on a redeclaration, so if MyType already existed you'll get a mashup of the two versions of it. Even if the const was switched to var in the second one, that would still be a straight replacement of the values instead of merging them.

I haven't used Typescript, but I imagine this style was used so enums could gain new values later in the code without having to worry about execution order.
I think I didn't explain myself very well: clearly on-duty must sleep if it's a multi-day incident, but they also need extra help when they are awake! If the business is completely down, there isn't normal work to do for other engineers so, even if they are out of their typical domain, they might give good insights, novel ideas or fix some side issues that will help the ones with more domain knowledge.
You're confusing the definition of a singular thing with the group of things.

For example, apples are a luxury in that nobody needs them to live (and the same can be said of any single food source - and therefore whether or not we consider something a luxury comes down to its availability and cost, nothing to do with champagne being more or less "needed" than beer), but they are also part of a bigger group we call "food" that definitely is not a luxury.
The value these jobs create is the fabric of modern society. To quote the article, "Just shut up Mom, it's Christmas." Not saying they should be paid as much as doctors, but without these normal things that were lost during the 2020 shutdown I suspect that the protesting/looting would become more prevalent.
Yeah, it'd be nice if we could solve the halting problem.
I'd say that Rust (and, to a smaller extent, Zig, and, AFAICT, Ada) allow to write code that is guaranteed to not allocate, and define the exact memory layout of certain structures, all while offering much tighter protections than C.

Of course, there are things that cannot be expressed in safe code in either language. But marking fragments of code as unsafe, where C-like unconstrained access is allowed, helps a lot to minimize such areas and make them explicit.

There is definitely room for a more expressive and safe languages in the kernel-level space. We can look at Google Fuchsia or maybe at Redox OS, both are very real operating systems trying to use safer languages, with some success.
You can guess a prime relatively easily given a few attempts, as besides 2 and 5, all other primes will have a 1, 3, 7, or 9 as its least significant digit. So, for starters, you'd never guess a number with any other least significant digit.

That’s moving the goal posts though. Now we’re balancing the privacy of those on the trial against your interest in seeing the data even though you’re already vaccinated. And you yourself don’t think that it would convince anyone that’s antivaxx. I don’t see the social benefit here, other than you’ll feel better.

Furthermore, it’s not obvious full transparency will help. You’re almost certainly not a medical researcher, so it's not clear if you could do anything useful with the full data set. And our experience with VAERS shows that bad faith actors absolutely can and will lie about it. I see absolutely no upside to releasing the full data set, and a lot of downside for those who volunteered for the trials.

>Does anyone know more about the relationship between Bukowski and Martin,

IMO his deal with Martin made it so Bukowski was able to write full time in the later years of his life. Otherwise he may have had to still work at the Post Office and only be able to write part time.

>and why Martin would be revered today? Why he would have supporters? Why he would even need supporters?

He's revered because he (Black Sparrow Press) published many works by authors who would have otherwise never gotten a publishing deal. His supporters are most likely fans of the authors he published and those from the San Francisco Beat Generation. He, and Black Sparrow Press, had/have a close relationship with City Lights Books and Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
I too know nothing about Sweden. In the US snow plowing for the public roads is fairly well paying. You do road repair in summer, and in winter plow snow.

Cost of labor is a factor, but it isn't the only one. As I said, you are far better of having enough to keep ahead of the worst possible case snowfall than less people who can handle only the normal snowfall and take weeks to dig out of the bad ones. And that is just the pure monitory costs of clearing snow and says nothing about the other costs to society from being slow to clear snow (emergency services for example)
"The myth that Americans, and especially younger Americans, aren’t willing to work is flat wrong."

It's not really a myth, but also can't be universally applied. When a very large percentage of jobs are like this, there's not much alternative. It's you want to work and deal with it, or you don't want to work. Option 3 would be that you want to work a "good" job, but good luck finding one!

People don't want to work shitty jobs. I'm a software dev and I'm tired of the corporate BS and lies. I don't want to work. If this is a "good" job then I don't have hope that anything will be better. I can't wait to retire.

I do ice in the summer (this is mentioned in the article). Great for when you have warm feet in bed. It works longer than the hot bottles because of the phase change which adds the equivalent of a 60 to 70 Celsius energy absorption.

I think you could do the same with wax for the hot version. Hot wax would last longer than hot water because of the phase change. I assume this is not commercially available because of the dangers of heating wax which should be done in a hot water bath. Some people would inevitably ignore the instructions and burn down their house.

Edit after a bit of research: Maybe the lesser heat capacity of wax offsets the benefits of the phase change.

They are probably running a distro with an old kernel and can't be "bothered" to figure out and fix the actual issue.
The standard committee’s position is that if undefined behavior isn’t easy for the programmer to detect, why would it be easy for the compiler to detect?

I’m a little more familiar with the C++ committee than the C committee. The C++ committee prefers to declare something an error than to declare it undefined behavior. They only declare something undefined when they believe it would be unreasonably difficult for the compiler to detect the problem (e.g., using multiple, incompatible, definitions for an inline function; which can happen if you have a macro expanding differently in different parts of the code, or you have multiple definitions for the function, but only one definition is ever visible to the compiler at any moment in time).

I’m pretty sure the “signed overflow is undefined” rule is something of a special case: it should be easy to detect when source code doesn’t have a hard coded upper bound, but giving an error or warning in all cases will create too many false positives, and declaring that it wraps on overflow has been deemed unacceptable by the committee.
> The amount of calls that come to the helpdesks around the world, that are caused by people not knowing anything about Word/Excel is astounding.

Haha, never go work in a public library or at a school/college, especially in a poor area. The amount of times I had to tell some poor student near tears that their professor/school/work/whoever had effed up was too high.
This is just false. Just spend 15 minutes less per day on video games or doomscrolling.
I love PGP, but let's be honest, it's not user friendly in the slightest. It's an esoteric bolt-on to email that requires both ends to want to use it and go through the trouble of setting it up, which basically means that it's really only useful to nerds and people with sufficient requirement for secrecy that they actually go through the trouble.

Services like Signal are great because they're E2EE by default and they're user friendly. We got my tech illiterate mother and stepfather on Signal so they could participate in family group chats. No way she would have been able to navigate GPG.

As for the issue you're bringing up about the endpoint getting compromised, the simple solution is a retention policy (disappearing messages), which Signal has supported for some time now. It doesn't help if the allegiance of owner of that endpoint is flipped (they can simply screenshot future messages), but it does prevent the adversary from getting a full text dump of previous conversations if they swipe the phone for example.
> Your obligation is to not let UB happen.

Sorry, no can do. If that's the contract than C is a completely useless language.
That's part of the problem: Old ISPs usually have plenty of IP addresses hoarded and are less affected by the run-out.

It's more newly formed companies that are hit by this, since they have none and have to buy them at ever increasing prices.

If you get a cold snap like in Texas last year with rolling blackouts it's the perfect way to store the heat you can produce while your electricity is running. When I camp in late fall, early winter I always use a food safe water bottle at night and reuse the water in the morning for coffee or washing up with the added benefit that with a good bottle the water is at least lurk warm.
If you have demand that you can't satisfy, you raise your price.

You can't detect most UB at compile time. LLVM has a system to detect it a runtime. There is a significant performance penalty, but it can be useful during testing.

Hard no here. If retirees feel strong enough to work, they are 100% entitled to improve their incomes. Especially when they don't have super generous pensions.

Retiree struggling to pay pills and doctors is not something super exceptional. There is no social contract for them to stop working.
