My 2¢,

I'm currently interviewing for jobs in biotech, and it's been pretty tough. Between all the interviews, take home assignments, coding challenges, presentation and interview prep, I'm putting in 10-12 hour days 7 days a week.

I suppose it's possible that there really is a talent shortage, but I've seen little evidence of it personally. Companies are demanding and it's not uncommon for me to be treated in an inconsiderate or discourteous manner.
I quit because I was getting 2-3 30 second ads per video, 5 minute videos that is.

Ended up getting an ad blocker on my iphone and deleting the app. I now have to use youtube.com and settle for 720p, but it's far and away better than the shit ads it served.

Don't get me started on the relevancy of the ads.
>Is paying reparations to those living people racist? Is paying reparations to the living children of those people racist? Are non-monetary reparations in the name of those people also racist?

How does that work, in your mind. Who pays? If you say "taxpayers" then you are saying the victims need to pay reparations as well. That seems logical to you?

Also, how do you prove direct harm? In the Japanese internment example it's easy to say "I was sent to an internment camp by FDR". Ok cool, easy enough. But then there is "my dad was sent to an internment camp by FDR, and as a result my parents became risk averse and potentially never earned as much as they could, which may have indirectly impacted my opportunities". And then there is "My mom was raised by someone who's parents were sent to an internment camp" and that has somehow trickled down to impact me in some undefined way."

And then we need to discuss how this impacts the offspring of mixed parentage, are they equally victim/beneficiary? How far down the rabbit hole do we go?

Apple overcharges for literally everything, why would people in the ecosystem even notice when it happens?
It’s a band-aid. Just let Google slowly die, it’s already time when you should pull the plug – the patient is brain-dead for several years and there is no hope.

Use DuckDuckGo it’s a lot better with relevant search results and privacy friendly.

Should we be concerned if the goal of a social network is to just make people feel well? (This is a serious question to ponder as a society perhaps (or just for me).) The goal of these products of course is to keep people around.
3D acceleration should be enabled in the VM, so yes, but likely not very well as virtualization often does.
If I understand the Ruby pipeline operator it's essentially an alias of the dot. The example in the feature tracker is:

```
1.. |> take 10 |> map {|e| e2} |> (x)
```

which is equivalent to

```
(1...).take(10).map{|e| e2}
```

So in order to use it you still need extensions on every single object. The only reason that looks nice is because in this example you continuously call methods on lists that return a list. You can't add `my_custom_list_operation(list_input)` in between.
Are you sure you don't mean it's broken out-of-tree drivers? What exactly did it break?

I think there was a lot more trading than we usually think. It was an industry to trade for some states, and at one point in Europe they wanted to start trading directly, independent of political going-ons in the middle east. Starting the voyages of discovery.

LinkedIn has the atmosphere of working at a 200K employee multinational that even the CEO isn't really energized by.

It's honestly amusing how similar it is. Whenever I go on there I think of a job I had once in which people tried to one up each other for "most robotic".

They also radically transformed the landscape around semiconductors in the 60ies/70ies. E.g. a big section of the famed "high output management" from Andy Grove is about how Intel had to reinvent itself under the pressure of Japanese chip makers and Intel could not compete with them.

I never read a compelling explanation as to why Japanese companies started struggling w/ innovation from mid 90ies until now.
I never understood why I always got so depressed reading LinkedIn, until I read The Gervais Principle by Venkatesh Rao. And then I saw that LinkedIn consists almost entirely of clueless people talking to other clueless people, and exclusively in posturetalk (these are Rao’s terms - “clueless” means something specific). And if you haven’t read The Gervais Principle, I highly recommend it, although it may bum you out.
Don’t, just bail on any place that doesn’t get this. If it’s not in the company’s DNA it never will be.
> Developers wouldn't leave, the apple app store generates so much revenue that it would be much more profitable than android even if they lost half of it.

You're countering your own point. The fact that there is so much money to be made on the app store, is why they have a right to charge 30%. They created the platform, and made it a great place to buy apps for users, and a lucrative place to sell apps for developers.
Starlink can't do satellite to satellite hops and is low orbit. So there needs to be a base station within a short distance for the user to bounce to via a single satellite.

So right now Starlink won't work in Tonga since the nearest base station (Boorowra, NSW) is over the horizon for satellites visible to people in Tonga.

The base station in Fiji means that Starlink can work in Tonga.

Note that Inmarsat, iridium, etc. work just fine in Tonga in the meantime.
I have zero problems with the mobile phone ecosystem that I want regulation to solve. I don't want the government to force USB-C charging onto iPhones, I prefer Lightning. I don't mind paying higher prices for Apple subscriptions, it's worth it to me because they're dead simple to cancel. Let Apple does what it does, if they end up pissing me off I'll switch to Android. I don't want some idiot fucking politicians deciding what charging port an iPhone has.
For anyone downvoting, consider iOS vs Android. iOS is more profitable for most developers even though Android has more users.
The solution is probably to dismantle Section 230. Publishers need to be accountable for what they publish. No more picking and choosing when to be accountable. And yes this might destroy social media as we know it, but that's a good thing. Social media is a cancer on society.
Is open access to information and the internet by not currently a fundamental human right? It is good that a company is working to rapidly restore reliable internet service to Tonga.
In university you’re paying for a bunch of esteemed professors to do something. What do you think they should do? I would want to get something a little more valuable than some calculus homework sets.
One pattern I see sometimes is to define a util class, but rather than having a bunch of static methods, you wrap the underlying object in a util wrapper that adds all of the utility methods. Unfortunately, Java also has no good way to delegate methods without simply redefining all of them, so it's by no means a perfect solution. (And it's not really worthwhile unless you've got a fluent API that returns the same object every time; otherwise you're wrapping for just one call, which is arguably noisier.)
LinkedIn is what happens when people from the sales/marketing department get promoted into C-level positions running other parts of a company.
I would guess that way more people are on LinkedIn than Twitter. Most of the work-force is on the former, mostly only technologists, journalists, and artists on the latter.

I have friends in the traditional London banking community who absolutely don't know how to engage genuinely with social media and probably aren't interested in learning, but they're there on LinkedIn, talking in the traditional corporate language that they live in.
This is the lifecycle of all companies.

I totally agree with this. This situation where a library has a de facto monopoly on monkey patching is just weird an unfair.

It reminds me a bit of MS's good old EEE strategy. People get comfortable with ActiveSupport to a degree where they start disliking to not have it's small benefits. But the consequence of this behaviour, that most are oblivious to, is that it to a large degree puts Rails in control of the language.

ActiveSupport feels like a leftover from the old days of prototype and jQuery. You search for a solution and half the answers on SO will assume that you are using it (and many of the answer authors don't even know it)

I'm sure it's not going to happen, but I think Rails should stop using ActiveSupport internally. It would allow devs to decide for themselves if they want to pollute the standard library, and also open the door for competition.

While the syntactic sugar of "1.day.ago" is hard to match, I don't think an alternative have to be that bad "ActiveTime.days_ago(1)"

Another possibility is to use boolean flags. Of cause the compiler then will not enforce that only one of the flags is set. On the other hand on few occasions I observed how initial design with disjoint cases evolved into cases that can be set at the same time modeled with flags.
LinkedIn probably has a net benefit for your career by keeping up to date and checking the messages once a week, but I cannot get over the awkwardness of seeing total BS stories and thousands of replies saying "YES! AMEN!".

"I was running late to an interview this morning but stopped to help a man who fell off of his bike and fixed it up for him. Afterwards I bought him a coffee and talked about life. He mentioned how he had to go to work but was touched by meeting me, he said we had a real connection. I go to the interview and guess what! The man was my interviewer! He immediately offered me a job at 1.5m a year plus bonuses and is fast tracking me to become a regional director. Remember to be a nice human #Hashtag #Human #WEAREPEOPLE #ConnectWithMe"

Sounds like the entire history of academia (and most human endeavors, honestly)

You didn't define "in the past" but pure science spending has generally declined as a percentage of GDP and has barely changed in inflation adjusted dollars in the last twenty years.

The thing that's been around the longest that always bugged me was:

Getting endorsed for skills by people who have no ability to evaluate my competency at those skills.

It's so shallow and badly designed at its job. But like every social network out there, it's buoyed by its inertia and network effects, and will last far longer than it should given its quality beyond the size of its network of users.
Because iPhones specifically allow installation of other software, and are advertised as such?

FB went with jacking people's emotion with rage, fear, and other scare tactics. Monsters Inc however showed us there's more power in laughter than screams. It's a shame nobody on FB's board ever watched a movie.
I like the idea of linkedin. In that, I like to have business focused discussions/news.

It does tend to veer into this weird territory of everyone marketing to each other.

Anyway add me on linkedin.
Yeah, they call it Product-Market Fit. Market is really the total amount of money that people throw at you.

It's easier to get that from finding a few people who are really excited, than it is to find lots of people who are only a little excited. Because if there's a few very excited people, it often unlocks a new mainstream market. Like Twitch worried they wouldn't be able to pay enough for content creators to make a living, but the ones they interviewed were happy just to make a really small amount from playing games.
> Nothing like sort is hidden in class methods in Python.

The discussion has mostly been about instance methods defined in classes, and how do you define “like sort” in this claim?

list.sort() is a method in Python; it's the equivalent of Array#sort! in Ruby.
I agree, as someone who's seen how the sausage gets made, it's discouraging that such a noble endeavor remains so vulnerable to financial conflict of interest from the individual to the institutional level.

We'll still ultimately learn more about what's true in our universe, but it will take even longer and be more expensive than necessary.

What an excellent post. LinkedIn seems to be getting worse and worse, merging in the worst aspects of the every-photo-is-staged "influencer" culture from Instagram and the stupid/not-inspirational/definitely-not-true meme story posts from Facebook. It really is so cringe.
There are tons of alternatives, anywhere from take home tests to just gauging their general experience and answers to some technical questions.
This argument boils down to "user hostility can't exist because being a user is a choice." I don't buy it.

Apple is using its market advantage and lock-in as leverage against the user.
What is “semi” in semi-truck?
Whew! I read the article and this entire thread. I'm not surprised that most people are materialists. But I think if you really look into the literature with OOBEs and parapsychology you will find that there are some amazing experiences that are not explained by metaphysical materialism. And you can experience this yourself with deep meditation and/or the blessings of teachers. I think the scientific method is valid for exploring these states too. True Yoga is a science of mind control. I would advise looking into Patangali's Eight-fold Path with the goal of kaivalya/Asamprajnata Samadhi/Cosmic Consciousness and the concept of prapatti (surrender to grace of the higher self and others). Let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater when it comes to Scientific paradigms! An interesting perspective is also found in the RBC from brainvoyage.com and a fascinating refutation of materialism is found on p.6 here: http://www.pni.org/groundbreaking/TDVPunification.pdf

There is literally no legal distinction whatsoever between general-purpose devices and non-general-purpose devices. I don't know where this legal myth on HN came from, but there's no law anywhere saying Apple has to be one or the other, or that marketing has anything to do with what a device should be allowed or not allowed to do, nor does the law define these terms anywhere.
Just a matter of time before a tax heaven declares they can bring over these stolen funds for a puny fee. Then it's legal under that jurisdiction. Say Iran wanted to do this to have some revenue to offset sanctions, no one can stop it.

Is this event something they really could not have foreseen and do anything about?

Grepping this article there isn't one word about Refinements:

https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/3.0/doc/syntax/refinements_rdo...

Those are similar to C#'s Extension methods. That way consumers of the Refinement can opt-in to the extended functionality without injecting their methods globally into the class for every bit of code running on the VM.

There's a good reason that ActiveSupport as a "Monopoly on Monkeypatching" which is that nobody should be doing it any more. ActiveSupport largely gets a pass because it is pretty well defined and engineered, bits of it get pulled into core ruby, and its the 800# gorilla out there because it is rails.

You shouldn't copy that pattern, and you shouldn't want to. Use refinements instead.
Wouldn't that be redundant? A good pizza should already have sufficient tomato sauce.

But ..... whatever floats your boat is good.

In general I think that whenever a new theory or analysis is published, “probably” indicates a far greater degree of confidence than is justified until the theory / analysis gains broad acceptance.
The comp might be part of it as well, but at the end of the day, the only reason the bar is lowering is because Amazon is losing their good talent and failing to attract more of it, while also failing to have processes that create good talent (as in, if you weren't already great when coming in, Amazon won't grow you, but just spit you out).

Yes comp could help to attract better talent, that's what Facebook is doing. But of the about 150 interviews I've conducted for Amazon, 90% of almost all candidates always ask me: "So is it really as bad as they say working here? With how they treat you?"

I think that's a pretty good indicator that the reputation is just tarnished, and I wouldn't be surprised that that's having a sizable effect on the decrease of talent.

The other thing is, yes maybe some real bad apples leave from a PIP, but the whole culture around it, the stress, the feeling everyone has that they constantly have to fight for trust and respect, that is also a cause for a lot of the really good engineers and high performer to leave as well, of their own, no PIP involved, but it's the same root cause for why they leave.

I see so many good ones, ranking high every year, and after 3 to 5 years say: Well I had enough of this BS, too much hassle always playing the game. If anything, that's the biggest issue.
