The problem in that particular case was that the company did this so much with various teams that it caused incredible turnover.

We had a great mobile team that slowly left the company because they were being asked to prioritize web work, and when they all left and the company realized that there was mobile work to be done, they started asking us web devs to prioritize mobile. They were getting lots of complaints across the org of never-ending context switching and they didn't really care.

I'll ship stuff because it's my job, but I won't stick around for management that can't be bothered to keep their mobile and web teams happy enough to prevent these insane context switches.
Never trust a man who can look in two directions at the same time.
Isn't it like that in most fields? Are there never any mid level accountants/lawyers/teachers/doctors who are better than their senior superiors but have to stay the course and bite their lip until they are promoted or get better pay?

It’s a fascinating article, but it lacks respect for people taking principled positions about this social issue. Progressives are fad-chasing sheep, supposedly, while anarchists are legit, but crazy.

It’s like the Jordan Peterson philosophy on climate change: People need to stop talking about it and caring about it, because anyone who does so is just virtue-signaling and basically being a shallow, useless idiot about it. When actually people are trying to figure out how to deal with the fact that our leaders and institutions are so out of touch with reality and stuck in their ways. But no, the important point is people in general are shallow and amoral, like me, but dumber.

Culture changes and drives change. Collective action eventually does something.

The difficulty of using the manual trim wheels is also demonstrated in this simulator run showing the MCAS problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xixM_cwSLcQ&t=1011s

There is some discussion amongst pilots at https://www.pprune.org/tech-log/619326-boeing-advice-aerodyn... which further explains how difficult it can be to manually reduce load on the stabilizer and manually trim the nose up.

> The slogan is "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"

This is the fantasy.

> You're still very much expected to work

This is the reality. They contradict each other. The State will coerce you to work regardless of your "need" for it.
How long ago did you look into Qt's Multimedia module on NodeGui? Also what part of it did you need?
The other side of it is that if someone is really attached to being an expert at front end and feels skill atrophying then maybe it really isn't a fit. I can relate to that because I've moved from full stack to more or less back end because keeping up with front end while only touching it every few months is just not very enjoyable.

That said, if that's the central issue definitely a lot of the points raised are overblown.
> Personally I think quitting something that is amazing in so many ways but doesn't fulfil your front end needs after only 5m is something you may come to regret.

> Did you ask for a change of team / change of work focus? Did you bring up your issues with a manager? If you were on my team and an attrition risk due to not working in the tech you were hired for I'd have made sure that was changed.

I'm not sure if I misunderstand the blogpost, or if you do, but I gather the author quit because they realize they didn't like eCommerce after all. At least that's the impression I get from this passage:

> This line of self-questioning mutated into, "Do I care about eCommerce?" It was a question I never had the bravery to ask myself before. I've worked almost exclusively in eCommerce of one form or another since I started working in tech. I began to wonder if it might be time to try something different.

So changing team or work focus probably wouldn't help the author, as the core theme of the company wasn't attractive.
Can it be proven whether values of m exist such that SHA256(m) == 0?

If I were omnipotent and wanted people to believe in me, I would write a book that hashes to 0, so that anyone could verify its authenticity.
Two immediate thoughts:

1) Interviewing is a minefield of legal stuff that can easily blow up into he said/she said lawsuits. At a minimum (well, assuming $Company is past a certain size), you'd probably want baseline training vetted by Legal to train new interviewers to avoid those sort of issues.

2) Interviewing is a skill, or really, multiple skills. Reasonable questions, learning how to explore the space around the question, knowing when to lead the candidate and when to shut up and when to drop the question and move on. Spend some time on training the interviewers. Spend some time on internal reflections on good questions, pooling potential questions and giving guidelines on good and not-so-good answers...

>How is PHP/Laravel better? I'm of the opinion it loses hard in every aspect.

Performance. Ruby (with the official implementation) is brutally slow compared to PHP on Zend Engine [0], which is probably only behind the JVM in terms of VM performance and optimization for any language. PHP, if done properly, is a really great choice nowadays for a scripting language that can approximate C++/C#/Java levels of performance.

Just a note for people getting sidetracked.

The title is "A Married Undercover Cop Having Sex with Activists Killed a Climate Movement" with the key article being "A" not "The". There are multiple climate movements going on with differing goals.
It's pretty clear from things like Bernie, the rise of antiwork, etc, etc, the site doesn't exactly align with the mainstream DNC talking points nearly as nicely as the front page and popular subs would make you think.

If the NFL craps astroturfing all over the online sports community that still constitutes manipulation even if the occupants of the sites in question were marginally more predisposed to those ideas than the general population. What the mainstream left does to Reddit with their astroturfing is no different.
> Ethernet is only GigE

Erm... "only"?! I've never seen anything faster than 1GB ethernet in a laptop before, or even in a consumer desktop/tower.

Am I missing something?
Correct, in the 5K case the entire display is rendered at 5K, and ditto 2K etc. (I believe the internal canvas caps at 32K, but I don’t have the tools to find out for sure.)

Whatever-sized display viewports are just crop windows into it, and the crop window in internal canvas terms is scaled as necessary, and then it renders the vector canvas onto the raster viewport.
For another perspective, I don't think I've ever gotten actual hate mail for the game only working through Proton. Most people just go "oh, OK, cool". I usually explain why proper Linux support is hard for a small studio like mine.

I did get some "I won't be buying then", which is fair.

I do have to second the sentiment from other comments about excellent bug reports from Linux players. They usually auto-include logs, specs and sometimes even repro steps in their first bug report. Other players rarely do so.
Wow, five interviews. Is that common?

Unless it was clearly communicated from the very beginning, after the third I'd say: give me the job or put me on your do-not-contact-again list.
> there's a trust issue around oracles

I remember asking someone about this in the early days at the Bitcoin meetup in SF. This was when Ethereum was an idea, not a reality.

I pondered, "Will Ethereum have a way to query the Web in a transaction?". I never got a straight answer from anyone about how that would work well. Later, I discovered that Bitcoin script doesn't have loops, but is still somehow "Turing Complete" according to the inventor, who may or may not be the inventor.

My take then and my take now is that cryptocurrencies have some value for transitory things and imaginary value for more permanent things.
Indeed. It's pretty widely accepted in the Python world that \ should never be used. Black for example zealously removes them. Perhaps if we ever get a Python 4, it can actually be removed (along with other minor annoyances like the camelCase in the logging library!).
They’re also not as well made.

My kids newer fire station set has had multiple blocks crack in the last couple years, and he’s not rough on them. He bashes his action figures up but simply builds legos.

Fortunately my mom hung onto my stash and we were able to swap out parts right away. The aged coloring adds artistic texture.

Still a bummer to spend $30-$40 and if you don’t have a bunch of spares when blocks crack, you’re left with an set that can never be completely built.

Been wondering if a 3D printer is the way to go for this sort of thing now. Make action figures in parts.
> I mean, christ, the desktop user experience is still pretty goddamned terrible

Going to have to disagree with you there. The linux desktop experience is now superior to the windows desktop experience.
The promotion of 'work reform' is not what the author is describing as sanewashing. It's the co-option of a more radical movement, followed by an explaining away of the radical parts of that movement to make it mainstream-acceptable.

As someone who is sympathetic to anarchist positions while being temperamentally a reformist I can see the merit in both positions. But if I held the radical one and saw its slogans appropriated just as it had begun to get traction I'd be cross too, I think.
Anarchists are going to have a hard time accepting this, but I think the lesson here is that you can't have a coherent community focused on its original subject without quite a lot of gatekeeping.

On Reddit, r/AskHistorians has a good approach. The blogging model (as revived by Substack) also seems to work.

These are explicitly non-democratic. AskHistorians gives historians higher status. A blog is about whatever the blog author wants it to be about.

Hacker News has good moderation but it's a lot more anti-tech than it used to be and that's a reflection of the broader culture. If they really wanted to resist that then it would require stronger moderation at the expense of growth.
A friend and I write about engineering management and product management. Generally shorter pieces with 1-2 core ideas https://staysaasy.com/

Reddit is grossly overmoderated. You have a vote system that enforces a hivemind by itself, on top of a normal moderation system that deletes an enormous amount of content, on top of automated moderation banning posts if you use this or that word, on top of a shadowban system on top of a global content policy system.

The result is that only stuff that the majority of users allow will get displayed.
If you believe Rust zero cost abstraction - being safe doesn't mean it has to be compared to safe languages because Rust and C can translate into same assembler code. But in Rust the compiler gives you more guarantees.

I would say that a proper way to rephrase it would be to use idiomatic code vs unidiomatic. If you start using any high-level language in a non intended fashion (writing non idiomatic code) probably most of them would be faster.
Indeed. Another model, apparently only available in China, was wifi display (miracast IIRC) so it should be usable in Windows (Win+K) and Android

Accurately put! Not trying to portray Shopify in a negative light at all. I just learned something about myself through the experience and thought it might be helpful for other devs.

I've been gaming happily on Linux for years. Top and/or good games like Dying Light, ARK. The rest I played using Wine with tweaks. Proton is great and Valve should be applauded but the future of gaming on Linux or Linux Desktop in general doesn't rest now on any one company and it never has.

A lot of the mini-tanks, assault weapons and SWAT gear is based on how the police are funded, not necessarily the amount of funding they have.

The amount of funding a police department has is determined at the beginning of the fiscal year and by how much was spent by the previous year, including any shortfalls or excesses in budgetary spending. City councils and Mayors/DA's are always looking to trim the police budget (believe it or not), so a lot of the time, the department will take any excess budget they have at the end of the year and spend it on military auction items (a whole other mess), in order to keep their budget and show that they've been able to stretch their budget as far as they can and get the most value for their dollar (I read a very good article about it like 2 years ago, or so and can't find it). But departments do this so they don't lose their future budgets, "just in case" they need to hire future officers, need more "real" equipment, etc. etc.

This has lead to the increase in militarization of the police and the militarization of the tactics of the police as military personnel are already familiar with the equipment. There has been no same said impetus to increase nonviolent intervention tactics on an ever increasingly divisive nation, who's "news" cycle and social networks actively work to stoke division and tension as it feeds interaction, which provides more eyes on advertisement (sorry, I went down a rabbithole in the end, there).

It would be better, well it would be a start, to have quarterly budget reviews and performance reviews tied to the needs of the community and training. But, we all know that isn't how politics works =(
Because it’s a point for general usability arguments for the mass public. It’s a feather in the cap of ChromeOS which is a variant of Gentoo, so why can’t it be that for other Linux OSes. Linux software already provides anything outside of a browser…does that need to be touted a long side of it also?
About time, given the amount of horror stories coming out of The Forest. More money will definitely increase (at least to a certain extent) how much bullshit people are willing to put up with.
> this leftist victim narrative

Honestly, I think the victim narrative is coming from you. I don't really agree with a lot of the conclusions here (you seem to agree a lot more than I do), but they aren't pursuing a victim narrative. They have agency and take on responsibility, which victims don't do.

Thanks for the history PSA.

That wasn't the point of my comment. North America has been settled and re-settled for thousands of years, much like Europe, the Middle East and most of Asia. It's called immigration. It's happening in North America even as we speak by people who are not "from here." Who cares? There are no natives. Just a bunch of people who need to learn to live with each other.

Of course, the Americas were quite densely settled before their first contact with Europeans. By the 15th century, they had produced civilizations, notably those we know as the Aztecs, that were arguably more advanced than any of their contemporaries.

But the Aztecs, the Incas, the Mound People of the Mississippi Valley and the various warring tribes of New England were all decimated by diseases that the Spaniards brought with them unwittingly. Small pox and other diseases wiped them out as part of the Columbian Exchange.

While the Europeans did all the usual things that conquering peoples do, they cannot be blamed for that, because the disease ran ahead of them by decades and wiped out tribes that had never seen a white man. They had no idea how diseases propagated themselves, and fell equal victim to some of them (yellow fever, malaria).

If you want to reflect on what actually happened in the European settlement of the Americas, read 1491 and 1493.

And then maybe we can talk about what it was like to be a homesteader in the late 19th century.
Well, the good thing about the current software ecosystem is that end users don't need to understand access control policies in order to safely operate their devices. In otherwords, the barrier to correctly using a general computing device is MUCH lower.

As someone that grew up with Win 95, this is a revolution in the way computing works. In the era I entered into computing, to use a computer really did often require at least a little knowledge of DOS or the commandline. Absolutely it required you to know how files and folders worked.

Viruses were super common and super easy to catch as we started entering the internet era. So part of correctly operating a computer involved picking and maintaining the right AV software.

That's a barrier that has kept people out of computing in general.

Now, everyone's grandma is on facebook (for better or worse). Everyone knows how to use a search engine. Even those that don't know how to use a search engine, know how to do "Siri: What is the capital of Kansas?". Knowledge is hyper accessible. (This also exposes new epistemological issues. How can we verify something is true when it requires hours of research, even with the internet?)

Oh yes, absolutely. There are a number of "alt shops" selling Minecraft accounts accounts for a few cents each.

Most of these accounts have security questions set, so you can't change the email and truly "take ownership" of the account, but it's good enough for cheating on servers.

Some shops even have an API for generating accounts or tokens, so your hack client can have a feature where you get a new account right from your game. Get banned, reconnect in a few seconds.
> This has made my life so much better. When I hear something someone says to me now I have an extra filter to run it through. It's no longer a choice just between the person being dishonest about the facts or being dishonest about the facts. They could mean it in a different way.

I'm with you, but to me, this is just operationalized dishonesty, assuming it's not a significant cognitive deficit relative to those who are capable of engaging with reality. The solution I landed on was to avoid assuming adult levels of cognition until someone proves they have it. It's much less common than you'd think, especially if you have a foot in many different social circles.

I will say that your gf example touches on something related but importantly different, in my experience. The women I've dated generally met the bar I'm describing as "adult level cognition" (naturally, as that feeds into our compatibility). But they universally, by their own description, react to even mild conflict by getting emotional and irrational.

I see this as a related phenomenon, but not the same. Loss of rationality in specific emotional circumstances is completely understandable, just as I can lose sensitivity to other's feelings in those moments. The solution we've landed on there is the same as yours: she can press a proverbial button that causes us to table the discussion until she calms down enough to think clearly. It takes a lot of trust on both sides to do this, but it's extremely effective.

To me, people subject to these moments of impairment are importantly different from the people who don't even seem to have a mental model of what intellectual honesty looks like. I often wonder if the latter are even capable of it, in any meaningful sense.
i always felt that it should be possible to use a raspberry pi or arduino as the controller. with some tinkering i was able to generate IR signals that were accepted by the power functions receivers. and the power functions extension cable seems like a great way to propagate an i2c bus.

there are some pi cases with lego pin-sized holes to help interface the two.
1. Consumer "choice" isnt really a choice in a lot of instances. Many people would love an electric car if they could afford it, or if their community had the charging stations that would make it viable. If you arent in a place to finance a new car you dont really have a choice.

2. fuck thats a really cynical take on progressive activism. what's it like thinking that no one believes anything?
Surely on average, all else being equal - a 20+ year C++ vet would be better than a 1 year C++ programmer, no? Are you saying experience simply doesn't measure anything in programming?
I mean I'm a decent programmer but I do mostly Ruby and web stuff. I don't think I'm gonna be that great in C++ compared to most 20 year old veterans.
I think it's a bit silly as a rationale alone. But it's pretty clear from the rest of the article that this engineer isn't nearly as senior as they percieve themselves to be. For instance...

"I will always optimize career decisions based on a position's potential to improve my ability as a developer. I will optimize for this over title, benefits, and pay."

If this truly was a position they were taking that was below their level of seniority I don't think they'd necessarily feel so optimistic about growth potential.

Not much money involved here, this is the cops. Law and Order - this is maintaining Order. When MLK threatened the order, they blackmailed him and tried to induce him to kill himself.

Back to this case, the UK government and police approach has been to maintain secrecy as to other instances of their behaviour, even while offering a token apology. The message - it could happen to you.
