I had never even heard the term "staff engineer" as an apparent career milestone (assumed to be ubiquitous by the author or by others as you point out) until I picked up the book Staff Engineer: Leadership beyond the management track. It is curious to me placing so much emphasis on a title. In my first company, staff software engineer was the entry level position. It went staff engineer -> engineer -> senior engineer and then split off to principal architect or principal engineer.
For exactly the reasons you bring forward, I own a Flevobike Greenmachine [0] recumbent. It has a fully enclosed chain and a Rohloff 14 speed hub. A marvel of mechanical engineering and almost zero maintenance. The perfect muscle power long distance bike. I love it.

The Schaeffler/Heinzmann design is one for ebikes though. How do you simplify a hybrid muscle power/electric drivetrain and make it more durable? Converting muscle power into electricity first makes a lot of sense in that case:

- does away with so many moving parts, including the chain

- can recycle so much more effort from automotive.

- more comfortable when cycling

- regenerates energy from braking/going downhill

Yes, redistribution from the wealthiest to the poorest would drastically raise the average wellbeing of humanity. However, the problem is and always has been that the wealthiest people are the ones who run the political system. It's much more explicit here in the UK where the Conservative party is full of both old and new money, but this is true everywhere. Even revolutions just replace the old rulers with new ones.

It should be plain to see that poverty is caused by a lack of money, the hard part is prying that money from those who have the vast majority of it.
You can read the Supreme Court ruling yourself. The court found that it was religious discrimination specifically because other types of activities and gatherings were permitted.

Regarding the California mandate, this language is this certainly in the mandate (I believe December 2020) . Sheriff and counties were empowered and tasked with executing the mandates, and you are correct that they largely do not enforce this part. This does not change the fact that it was part of the executive action, in both language and intent.

>We should also improve our government then, and get them to address poverty better.

Sure, but that proposal along with clear milestones and deliverables should come before the funding. I'd vote for it but only if the money goes right back to the billionaires if/when the gov. fails to deliver on the plan.

One of the primary things we can do to improve the government is define objectives for new legislation, and make the new laws null and void automatically if they fail to achieve the desired objective.

> I can't really speak to the "portable assembler" point of view here, but if I was trying to make UB less dangerous I would say that the code had better return either 12345678 or 12345679

If 12345678 is acceptable to you then the language specification is already doing what you want. The alternative is to require arbitrary havocs on every memory address upon any function call to a different translation unit. Nightmare.

UBSan exists and works very well. But introducing runtime checks for all of this stuff is not acceptable in the C or C++ communities, outside of very small niches regarding cryptography, because of the incredible overhead required. Imagine if your hardware doesn't support signed integer overflow detection. Now suddenly every single arithmetic operation is followed by a branch to check for overflow in software. Slow.
> That's a significant departure from "any other movement".

Exactly this. There are scumbags in every movement, but crypto has structural incentives for scumbaggery that make it distinct.
I think so that way people stumbling on it etc can give feedback to the writer. I often will hit some technical blog that mostly answers my question and then someone in the comments will correct the author or even ask a question that further expands on what the blog post is about.
So what? Why does it matter if his parents have money and are able to help him with knowledge? It is still amazing that the universe produced this kid who could do it.

Suppose it would be possible while poor, and only his high IQ enabled him to do it. Then it would still be his luck for having parents with genes that produced high IQ in their kids. So it would still be "privilege".

What's more, his parents don't just happen to be all that, they presumably worked for it too, including looking for a suitable partner to have kids with.

It might even inspire the one or other person to try to earn more money to enable their kids to do great things that require a bit of money.

Or what is the reasoning behind privilege theory? If you go back in the ancestry of this guy, eventually you'll find some colonialist exploiting slaves, and if you go back in the ancestry of poor kids who don't create chips in their garage, eventually you'll find an exploited human who never had a chance to earn money?

Not even mentioning that creating chips in one's garage is not the only kind of achievement there is. And some poor kids do in fact succeed in life.

Steve Wozniak also was lucky to have a da who was a cutting edge engineer. So I guess that makes Wozniak owe all his money to society now, because he had such an unfair advantage.

Thinking on this, ebikes probably make the roads safer. Bicyclist would be more likely to come to a full stop. In traffic, they would be able to accelerate back up to proper speed after red lights.
It depends on the legislation. In the US and canada ebikes can have a throttle and go up to 32km/h without pedaling. In Germany you always have to pedal and speed limit is 25km/h. There’s probably a lot more countries with different rules.
Good question, I wonder the same.

The problem with that compared to late-bound parameters is that you have to pass it a callable for non-default uses as well. It's nice sometimes to have a deferred (callable-supplied) default but pass immediate values for non-default.

I think a big problem is that a lot of companies either make their money on “engagement” aka monetising user attention via advertising or providing service to companies who do that. The value of the entire system depends on whether advertisers believe their ads are working - if they stop pouring money into it the entire system collapses.

I believe advertising has reached a peak and has been declining for a while and we’re finally seeing the downstream effects of that.
I didn’t say the things that are reading into my words and quoting. No sane person would dispute that guns kill people in pure mechanical terms, I just don’t think reinforcing or debating that point is helpful in diagnosing the root causes of gun violence or the right policies, just as debating “cars kill people” would provide any meaningful advancement in traffic safety.
Yeah because such a system should be a standardized layer of the web not something controlled by a single company. The underlying authentication should probably be stored on a distributed ledger or set by the government. I’ve long thought that social security numbers will end up as a predecessor to this as the government is already the one entity that knows everything about us (and you could still have private browsing that didn’t use this layer.)
Having mylist stick around is actually useful for making stateful functions. For example, I've often used

def foo(..., cache={}):
...

to implement cached functions, or functions which need an internal cache for whatever reason. Later versions of Python provide an lru cache decorator, but that doesn't help with the internal cache and can be inefficient when you don't want your cache to forget any results.

It does become politicized when you ask a simple question: Should government and educational institutions treat people differently based on the color of their skin?

In fact, the UK dashboard had a suspicious outage when total case numbers exceeded the 1 million row limit of Excel... I suspect excel is used in the data prep stage, if not used in serving the dashboard.
> The reason I asked if people are checking vaccine passes when their friends visit them is because I don't actually believe this law exists at all, not because I think people are breaking it. It's possible that New York does require this, but if it doesn't, I think "You're prevented from accessing some non-essential buildings" isn't fairly analogized to "You can't leave your house".

To be clear, just showing the vaccine card isn't good enough. You need to show a photo ID too, to prove that you're the person the vaccine card belongs to. And how much of society is it acceptable to lock people without IDs out of if we insist that it's necessary to let people vote without one?

> non-discrimination of a web service

How is a Web version of a form more subject to discrimination than a paper one is?
It appears the authors assume the user will choose an SD card as the rootfs. Another alternative is to run the RPi with a tmpfs mounted directory as the rootfs and use the SD card as tertiary storage. This way I do not have to worry as much about the quality and condition of the SD card. To conserve RAM, I need the bootloader, kernel and the "always-installed" userland to be relatively small. With NetBSD, I can usually fit this all in under 20MB, leaving the rest of RAM as free tmpfs space to use however I wish. If I need to use some large Go binary for some specific task, I install it after boot in the free space. Then I remove it when the task is completed. Another alternative is to put these larger programs in a compressed filesystem such as cloop or squashfs, stored as a file on the SD card. NetBSD allows me to mount cloop2 filesystems read-only from tertiary storage. https://man.netbsd.org/vndcompress.1
Its the second amendment.
> A programmer wrote things in a specific order for a specific reason.

Is it not possible that the programmer introduced a bug?

Consider the bug that caused the 911 glitch in Android phones recently. An unstable comparator was defined in a type, violating the contract that Comparable has with Java's sorting algorithms. When Java detects that this implementation violates the assumptions its sorting algorithms make, it throws an exception. Should it not do this and instead say that the programmer wrote that specific comparator on purpose and it should loop forever or produce an incorrect sort? I think most people would say "no". So why is the contract around pointer dereferencing meaningfully different?

Many state/city governments are captured by a certain party. They openly encourage criminals in an effort to destabilize the country enough to become the ruling party for good. So some ethnicities are forced to study, work hard, pay for the festivities, and get punished for as much as a speeding ticket. Others are given welfare and get to burn down cities. It happened many times before in history (Russia 1917, Germany in the 30s).

You are misrepresenting the OP.

They clearly distinguish between great jobs and not great jobs.

They ask for advice on either finding great jobs, or tolerating not great jobs.

This is quite obviously not the behavior of someone who is continuing to do something they hate. They are asking how to find a job they don’t hate, or how to not hate a job they find. This is the opposite of what you are claiming them to be doing.

If they can’t find a way to do either of these two things and they keep working in the field, then you might have a point. But right now they are asking the obvious and sensible questions that a healthy person experiencing dissatisfaction with their career should ask.

Your attempt to portray them as diseased still makes no sense.

Taking into consideration R&D, Facebook/Meta is at around PER 15. If you don't do that, it's PER 21, which is high but not crazy high. From the rest of the FAANG, maybe Google is not too overpriced. The rest are severely overpriced.

I remember this, as indeed they say, it was one of the very first Kickstarter projects. Kickstarter did a good job of seeding the site with cool artistic projects. I think this - and the fact that they only allowed creative projects for a long time - was what made it work.

Others had tried the same idea (Pratt and Helm's "Fundable.org", no relation to what's currently on that domain), but they had serious problems with project quality and credit card fraud.
Because one of the basic tenets of capitalism is the ability to freely sell your labor. It's foundational to capitalism. It's a requirement.

The five characteristics of Capitalism are 1)Economic Freedom, 2)Voluntary Exchange, 3)Private Property Rights, 4)Profit Motive and 5)Competition

The linked story would violate several of those.
uh, what? once we're talking about simplified vs. traditional it should already be clear that the discussion is about the languages in terms of written form? in fact the entire article makes clear that it is about written language.

Not using "information" in a scientifically proper way is a fine criticism, I just don't understand why you seem to think the author did not define "efficiency" when it is one of the first points made..

It's more then that. At least for motorcycles, and depending on the geometry of the bike, your front represents 70% of your total braking capability on a heavy cruiser vs 90% of your total braking capability on a sports bike.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDGvzy038Eo&t=59s <-- demonstrates it rather clearly. From 80kph, braking distances are:

Rear brake only: 40m (131 ft)

Front brake only: 17m ( 55 ft)

Combined: 13m ( 42 ft)

The issue that braking capability is a function of friction of the tires against the road surface, which is in turn a function of force pushing the tire into the ground. When you begin to decelerate there's a weight transfer to the front tires, increasing the weight on the front and decreasing the weight on the rear. In other words, increasing the effectiveness of the brakes in the front and decreasing the effectiveness of the brakes in the rear.

In the extremes with (im)proper body position, you can lift the rear tire clear off the ground: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BqCJgTpEf0

So someone suggesting that you remove your most powerful brakes seems... odd?

The dynamic intuitive interface provided by `ssh git.charm.sh` is a wonderful example of how text-based user interfaces do not need to be limited to REPL. I wonder if there is space for a new text-based web browser that adopts some of the design features showcased by Charm.
The idea is that we've separated running computations into pluggable "engines" (whereas in R Markdown everything was hard-coded to use R/Knitr). In Quarto we can use Knitr, or Jupyter, or Observable JS (and can add additional engines in the future). R Markdown was a tool created exclusively for R users whereas Quarto is for users of any language that want to create reproducible documents with Pandoc/markdown.
The thing is that other languages are as correct but leaps and bounds faster.
> The consensus is that in aggregate (all language artifacts like writing, conjugation, syntax) no language is more complex than any other since complexity on one dimension (say chinese writing for Mandarin) is compensated in another (Mandarin morphology or conjugation).

That is broadly the consensus, with a couple of exceptions:

- Writing is not part of the language and doesn't factor into complexity anywhere. Chinese writing is much more complex than the writing system of most other languages, but that's just not relevant to the spoken language.

- Some languages are believed to be generally simpler than average due to having gone through a phase involving a large number of adults learning the language. Mandarin is one of those languages, as is English.
Interestingly, I assumed they were outside the US. Primary care docs (especially independent primary care docs) are one of the lowest paid medical doctors. Most specialists make significantly more money (and have a significantly better workload/schedule).
A different perspective: it's weird that school buses that only run two routes per day exist. That has to be one of the most underutiluzed forms of public transport.

My home country Australia has free public transport for children. The public transport system gets kids to school and back with no issues. You don't get drivers and busses underutilized either.
Something like this would be amazing.

I suggest you read it again. That is not the assertion at all:

> Consider the r in cart for instance. Without that r the word would clash with an existing word - cat, so the letter is significant in establishing meaning. The u in color is not, however.

The point is that what we call a "cart" and a "cat" are different things, and that the additional letter "r" helps us differntiate these two things, because we get two different words (rather than, say, calling both things "cat" or "cart"). By contrast, there is nothing called "color" in British English, so dropping the "u" from "color" creates no ambiguity in meaning.

RAMPANT!!?

It's really hard to believe that people still write stuff online without doing some basic searching. But here we are...

Here's a couple links to illustrate how RAMPANT knife crime is in the UK:

[1] For the year ending September 2019, there were 221 homicides involving a knife or sharp instrument recorded by the police. This figure is for England and Wales only and it excludes data from Greater Manchester Police (GMP).

[2] Recorded knife crime rose by 7% from just above 41,000 in the year to June 2018 to just above 44,000 in the year to June 2019, knifepoint rapes, robberies and assaults logged by police continued to rise.

I think it's pretty clear that your "rampant" is off BY A LOT. Knife crime in the UK is definitely not something to dismiss but guns (and gun crime and gun accidents) in the US tromp pretty much every other crime statistic in the "modern, civilized" world.
