Point of information: the ;void(0); isn’t necessary here because the code ends in a for loop, which produces undefined.

(For anyone who doesn’t know about the meaning of void in JavaScript: it’s a unary operator that ignores its operand and produces undefined. What is commonly spelled `void(0)` is briefer as `void 0`. Why don’t people just write `undefined`? For some, because it’s shorter, but mostly for historical reasons: `undefined` is a global property rather than a keyword, and until ES5 (a decade ago), that global property was writeable, so you couldn’t rely on its value because people might do crazy things. And if you’re wondering why a javascript: URL needs to produce exactly the value undefined: if it doesn’t, the browser will convert the value to a string and replace the page with that, loaded as HTML, as demonstrated by this (paste it in your address bar, you can’t click on data: URLs directly for security reasons):

data:text/html;charset=utf-8,<a href="javascript:'<h1>Here is a page.'">α</a> <a href="javascript:({toString(){return '<h1>See, stringification!'}})">β</a> <a href="javascript:/*even*/null/*gets stringified*/">γ</a> <a href="javascript:undefined">δ</a>

Diary of a first-time on-call engineer
This is a bit disingenuous because the ads from 15 years ago are very different from the ads today. Additionally, YouTube didn't even have ads (of any form) for the first few years and once they did roll them out, it was only given to specific creators who applied to be YouTube partners or people who were part of a network like Machinima or Maker Studio.

Today, there are pre-rolls, post-rolls, unskippables, multiple ads in a single ad segment, mid-rolls, etc. That's significantly more than the ads from years ago. Also, ads often supports copyright claimants instead of the actual content creators.
Once isn't a pattern, factorial isn't normally seen as a language feature. Implementing recursion via the Y combinator is a pattern (for languages that don't have built-in recursion) because you do it again and again for many different functions.

ME: I got a work proposal from some company

MANAGER: That sounds awful! Don't you like here?

ME: I like the people.

MANAGER: Is there anything that can change your mind?

ME: It actually is.

MANAGER: It's money, isn't it?

ME: Well, yes. Inflation is 10%, I haven't got any raise.
MANAGER: How much do you want?

ME: The other company is offering me +25%, so that's the amount.

MANAGER: I will try to speak to the higher ups, but there's already an order from above not to raise wages.

ME: Please do. How much do you think it will take?

MANAGER: speak to me in one week.

Two weeks after.

ME: Hey, did you speak with the higher ups?

MANAGER: Yes, and they said we shouldn't raise your wage.

ME: Ok then, we should talk about my resignation.

MANAGER: But couldn't you still not leave? You don't have a small salary after all.

ME: The prices are crazy, next year there is a prognosed high inflation too, and I have kids to take care of. So, regretfully, I will have to say good bye.

I wasn't the only one who resigned and for three seniors who left, they only found a junior to joined them now. I don't feel sorry for the company, I feel sorry for my former colleagues who have to endure a higher workload, because business people don't care there is a smaller number of people to do the same jobs.
they are also wasting a much more precious resource than planes, pilots.

This is great. My kids are very much into minecraft. I am very much into rust.

I would love to help them make the step from playing games to hacking on games. This was very simple back when I was a kid, but is quite hard now. The games you can make are so much less impressive than the games they are used to.
Supposedly because of corruption. Noone in the higher ranks wants to admit to it because it falls back to them I heard.

Hamster Racing
What a strange sequence.

For my own part, I have never used Windows as my day to day machine. I moved from MSDOS to a UNIX Desktop in 1992 then to a Linux Desktop in 2001. I don't know why others seem to have problems with UNIX/Linux Desktops.

My take is that the 'super-duper Windows users' must take the time and effort to 'UNLEARN their Windows Thinking' but they don't bother taking that first step. Consequently every problem for them is a nail that they must hit with their only tool, a hammer.

3. Why is my battery life so bad?

I bought a Lenovo P53 laptop last year. For quite a while I thought that my battery icon on the panel ('taskbar' for you Windows types) was faulty because my battery just seems to go on and on.
Why wait for the stock market, bin the options (which are now worth zero) and take advantage of the extremely good job market.
The majority of software engineers on Earth are working on problems that are known-solvable. If you're working on novel battery charging algorithms for Lithium batteries you are in the minority -- most people are working on time tracking tools, financial system API calls, etc.

In those domains, success doesn't come from succeeding at the task, success comes from the task having been the right task to have done.
Wouldn't that explicitly prevent them from doing just that? Also, so far NATO has been used to bomb Yugoslavia and Libya. It appears it's NATO doing the picking off, doesn't it?

"It's big, we can't drill more than a negligible fraction of the way to it" remains as true as ever. So, no, we cannot make it leak out, lose heat, or trigger earthquakes or eruptions. It will still be almost as hot in a half-billion years when the sun engulfs and vaporizes it, whatever we do.

Eruptions in Siberia, and later in India, not long ago geologically, released more heat in a (geologically) short time than we could use up in a million years, with no effect on the Earth's magnetic field.
Is there a screenshot of that in action for mobile users?

My private theory includes that this cuts both ways. Everybody wants to continue with business as usual: peace talks with a puppet government installed, lifting of sanctions for some concessions here and there, and then go on as if nothing happened.

This state of indecisiveness wasn't anticipated by anyone. Germany did even want to skip the sanction part since the war would be over in 3 days.

Now we have to actually deal with it; and the plans on both sides are made up as we go.
Yup, changing job is still the best way to get a raise — rinse and repeat.

It seems "all dev can do everything, all manager can manage everything" means "we can replace any cog by any other cog since they're all the same". Yeah, well, no. I don't understand why, when they have a good fit, they don't fight for it. I even have seen some senior replace by out of school grad "because that's we can find".
>I have yet to hear of a single retention initiative

A large number of big tech companies have had unusual retention initiatives, including Robinhood issuing ad-hoc stock grants after a stock drop, Apple issuing $180k stock grants out of cycle and others.

Apple was considered on the lower end of FAANG-tier salaries, so the grants which were outside of the normal process are unusual.

This isn't an isolated incident. Even companies that pay mid-tier salaries ($300-350k for a senior in the Bay Area) are experiencing above normal attrition.

Attrition is a real problem right now. Hiring is fierce. If you're a senior or staff level engineer, it's a buyer's market.

Because it’s difficult to solve in a way that people see immediate, locally beneficial effects.

Most attempts to address climate change require large spending, a change of quality of life, and the benefits are years or decades away. Very few people have the faith and courage to support something on a big scale when it means the loss of immediate convenience, or even just the implication that they lose opportunities.

Yeah, it’s especially frustrating in Europe where developers are not « rich » like in the US. We sure make some decent money but we can still suffer from inflation if we don’t fight for raises. Still, new hires get 20 to 30% more than existing developers.

Sure we can easily switch jobs but it’s really tiring, especially when you are in a great place. You have to weight the money against the comfort and it’s a shame because it have an enormous impact on the whole team motivation.
I had some really good moments playing this when it came out.

More recently during lockdown, over the course of 4/5 months I would hang out on zoom with a friend for an hour or so once a fortnight while we very relaxedly assembled a scenario from scratch (rather than with built-in assets) for each other (without disclosing contents, more just catching up about IRL stuff and sharing tips about how to use the editors in the game). Then, when our scenarios were ready, we took a night each to play through our scenarios - it took maybe like 20 minutes or so a piece. It was a nice slow build-up and overall a good exercise :) (Though my scenario was kinda badly misjudged in some aspects that made it quite embarrassing for me, I guess that's a risk with personalised improv... . I don't regret the activity as a whole :) ).

[We did increase the time-limit for turns a bit - the default time-limit is very punishing if you aren't fluent with the interface or have fat fingers or whatever]

I'm slightly sad there aren't more things in the same genre :)
I'm an argentine. My dad has been a fan of this family for more than ten years! I'll share this news with him

For the last Father's Day, a gift we got for him was a video from Hernán Zapp sending regards to him. In the video he says to my dad to "keep on catching his dreams!" as my father loves to travel and have been wanting this lifestyle for his family for a long time, and he'll make it true in the following years.

This family has even met Messi, that's kinda like a dream in itself for most people in my country.

Well, you guessed wrong. We are both English although we live outside the UK, one in Norway and the other in France.

I agree that assassination as an instrument of war is certainly not to be considered. But perhaps a Brutus style assassination would have different consequences than one committed by an external actor.
Looks very interesting. I tried the Windows build, but I can't get it to show any preview image. Tried selecting nodes and double-clicking them -- nothing. Maybe it needs to recompile the shader manually, but I haven't found any GUI command or hotkey for that. Checked the log, but it looks OK, no errors.

UPD: I managed to get it to show the preview: 1) Delete the default nodes (Read Image and Write Image). 2) Create a Checkerboard node. 3) In its Properties, set Size to anything except "As Input".

You can then plug it into filter nodes (e.g. Directional Blur), but the preview is still fickle -- at some point it just disappears and never shows up again until I reset the project.
They had to keep it so, otherwise the exploits they used to modify the app would have been right in the open and countered immediately. They did keep its package manager open-source.

Fusion reactor can be thought of in terms of "billions of dollars" away and progress is much clearer.

https://imgur.com/3vYLQmm.png

Integrating the curves is maybe $100 billion. And below a certain level of funding nothing can really be done (you can't build any reactor on $10 and a box of surplus paperclips the IRS donated from pity). The fact we actual got anywhere using the handful of "it's a start" research reactors like JET, which dates to 1984, that could get built is a testament to the scientists and engineers, not a indictment of the field.

Basically, if as much was spent on it as we spent on blowing up poor countries for no real reason (at least $2,000 billion, just for Afghanistan), we'd likely be onto the second or third generation. Or we'd have concluded decades ago that it really can't be done to a five-sigma certainty.

The cynic in me says there's a renewed push for it recently because China has 3 research reactors, the next one (CFETR) is designed to outperform ITER (which China is contributing to) and support research for DEMO (which is to say, it is or is very close to being designed for experimental power generation), and the US feels in danger of being beaten to it.
an under appreciated consequence of remote working is the radical reduction of switching costs to a new job.

In the on-premise world, this would require all sorts of calculations outside the immediate considerations of the job itself - the commute, the parking, the new office amenities vs old office amenities, the degree with which you 'click' with colleagues - all of this is reduced or eliminated in the world of remote work. You will be sitting at the same (home) desk, at the same set up, probably using the same tech environment.

It will make switching easier, cos it means less.
If you mean the originating website, it could send its own URL in any header or parameter, so masking its ability to set Referer would be useless without also some complex supporting feature like ITP / Privacy Budget.

My manager is busy arguing with senior management to ensure that he, myself, and my team receive at least a CPI adjustment this year. Preferably something more, since the job market is so competitive. I'm not getting the impression it's going well. It's a pain to change jobs but if they won't keep up with wages then I see no choice.

But, yeah, I’ll stand up for old Marsilio’s influence any day. The story is amazing.
One thing I like to do for fun, but may be helpful for loneliness, is pick a slightly goofy phrase and say it to everyone I pass by. Something like "Hooo boy, some weather, huh?" Which I find even funnier to say when the weather is unremarkable. Obviously I don't say this to literally everyone, skipping people if they look busy or whatever - I do try to say my line to most passersby though.

I think there are two advantages to this method. First, it gets you over the inertia of not talking to people. You don't worry about an awkward "hello" because you're intentionally being a bit awkward with the slightly goofy start. Second, some people like to talk and will engage you in conversation. Most people will nod, ignore you, or say something like "Yep", but some people will stop and talk. If you do this kind of thing on a schedule you'll find the same people, talk to them repeatedly, and before you know it, you have an acquaintance. Push a little bit and an acquaintance could become a friend.
Despite all the hype, this is my and seemingly the experience of everyone else since records began. Everyone has seen the hire on 30%/40%+++ more or hire 2 people to do the job of the person who left - on 30% more because a 5% pay increase would throw out the budget or they were sure the person would never actually leave.

Companies wont pay till people are out the door; by then its too late, too little or it goes to the incoming hire.

If I search "giraffe height" and there's some truly abject madman out there who wants to tell me "20cm," then I would rather not have that as the first result. That's where my fear of disinformation starts and ends. There can be no technical truth filter against queries that involve foreign language, competing ideologies, and the fog of war. So please show me information based upon how well it matches my criteria and let me do the filtering.

Of course this question would be easier to answer (and this whole discourse less contentious) if we were ever provided concrete samples of (dis|mis)information.
What Nuclear Strategic Theory Says About Deterrence of Irrational Opponents

Yes, (somewhat) obviously. This is the second Russian non-democracy in thirty years to get close to structural failure, and one common interpretation is that a system of this size cannot succeed without the mechanisms of transparency and accountability that are inherent to democracies.

A small dictatorship like NK can be controlled by a handful of people, often relatives. The family model also works for mafias, up to a certain size. But grow your association of lawlessness beyond a point and you’ll find yourself in desperate need for the protection of the law.

> a vaccine contrarian

My response was related to above post regarding Sinovac given Pfizer and Moderna are similar against Omicron.

Not a vaccine contrarian just one of the person who got infected after booster shot, will take a vaccine again but science has one trait which is self correction and overwhelming data shows that Omicron is mild whether vaccinated or not vaccinated. So its better to do a clinical trials and studies not funded by Pharma industry or interest groups, objectively to determine if Omicron played a pivotal role and not vaccine in reducing Covid-19 fatality globally.
HR isn't getting any memo, they are threatening me with disciplinary measures because I refuse to follow their return to the office location policy.
They even proposed to cut my salary in half if I persist in preferring to stay remote to save on expenses.

I think some fast growing tech companies are causing many developers to leave their jobs for better pastures, and that's mostly because some tech companies are performing poorly hence not keeping up with decent salary increases.

Easy to get a job with a salary bump ? My recent attempts took well over 6 weeks each, with 3 to 5 interview rounds, mostly being screened by developers and managers having significant tech skills gaps, making the questioning a painful dissonance exercise.

But sure. The market is hot for developers and compensation are on the rise.

I haven't seen the videos, but apparently he was shot in a car at a checkpoint by Ukrainians who saw him taking photos from a car and thought he was a spy. So it was a case of unfortunate mistaken identity, by the looks of it. Seeing that the closest Russian forces were about two miles away at that time, they would have to be Olympic-quality marksmen to hit him with small-arms in the eye at that distance. His colleague was wounded in the same incident.

Basically, an accident. But a good source of propaganda.
> What is there to be careful of MVP as a strategy? Well, to start, I don’t think MVP works. The risk is you’re going to build something and nobody will come (or stay), and then you’ll run out of money.

MVPs don't exist in a vacuum, they are part of a larger effort to figure out your business model (what is the actual problem? Who are your customers? How will you make money?) in the most efficient way possible. For a MVP to make sense, you have to do user research and truly understand the problem domain.

> Your company shouldn’t be in search of a business model, you should know what you need to build.

This is wishful thinking. Tons of products and companies fail simply because founders think they "know" what their business model is when in fact it's just a bunch of unverified assumptions about the market.
Why do you feel like you need to justify your pay requirements?

Does your CEO need to invoke inflation to justify his multi-million pay package?

If other companies are offering you +25%, then that's your current market value. You do not have to justify or apologize for it, no more than your CEO apologizes for the far higher pay package required to hire and retain them.
