1. Luke and Acts
2. Genesis and Exodus
3. (1 and 2) Samuel and (1 and 2) Kings

There are lots of answers to this question floating around the thread. Maybe mine will be helpful:

First of all, so much of the Bible references and builds on itself that it's a battle to establish the initial framework of knowledge so you can try to fill everything in.

The most important question of Christianity is, as Jesus put it, "who do you say that I am?" Start working on this with a Gospel (either Mark, more focused on a clear message; of Luke, more of a detailed narrative). (Matthew was written for a Jewish audience, so the perspective isn't as helpful, and John is just different in ways that make it better saved for later.) After this, read Acts, which finishes the story begun by the gospels. If you pick Luke, then you have the advantage that Luke and Acts have the same author.

Read Genesis. There's so much to unpack in this huge book. Jordan Peterson released lectures on many stories of Genesis as early podcasts of his; they do a good job of presenting the stories in the modern day, and are probably his best work, far better than recent work.)

Exodus. It is narrative and explains God's relationship with the Jewish people.

If you want to keep digging into that story, you could go next to Joshua and Judges. But I recommend next reading 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings. They're the story of David, who is the archetype of a God-fearing, yet only human, Jew.

As to a "proper" way: slowly, carefully, repeatedly, with humility, and with help.
It has been years since I tried applying for a position at Canonical, but even so this bears no resemblance to the process I was subjected to.

Even though processes can change, I suspect that this ludicrously detailed "written interview" is the brainchild of the hiring manager in question, that they are relatively inexperienced (as a manager, at least), that they are modeling this "interview" on their own college application process, and that HR had absolutely nothing to do with creating it.
And Texas uses similar tactics to get people to report on their neighbor's abotions: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/09/us/abortion-law-regulatio...

Maybe people should realize that everybody spying and reporting their neighbor is a dark road, more in line with the Gestapo and Eastern Bloc countries than the freedom we claim to love in America.

If they really cared they could extend the 25% reward to all crime tips.
I can remember having a similar experience the first time I read it. Although I saw value in it, it seemed weird. I later recommended it to people who found it just too bizarre or radical to get through.

Coincidentally I just finished the audiobook again today. I couldn't count how many times that makes. With all other things that seemed significant to me, they mostly fell by the wayside of my changing experiences or perspectives. The Power of Now is the only book that has seemed _more true_ every time I've read it, and at every stage of my life.

It's lucky that Eckhart is alive to narrate the audiobooks, as his voice almost in and of itself conveys the meaning of his writing.

I am glad it helped you. Truly it is the most life-changing book I've read.

You almost took words right out of my mouth and wrote it here. Except the part I'm not a business owner, though nevertheless I would not want to be teammates with a person of this attitude.
I watched pretty closely while I was changing from a KY vehicle registration to a CA registration. The staffer was plenty quick, there was just an absolute heap of stuff to do that all seemed pointless. I'm sure each of those little legally-mandated whatsits was well-intentioned, but in aggregate they bedraggle getting anything done. Similar story in zoning / planning. And in both arenas the result is that doing things is slow and expensive. Please, government, spend some tiny modicum of effort on deregulating and streamlining for the sake of not wasting my limited lifespan.
What's the term for when the pursuit of knowledge is regarded as the highest morality? That's where I mostly get my meaning at least.
This is what I've seen works best. It catches holes difficult to see as someone already setup or familiar with the ropes. Ideally new hires can at least improve docs, if not the ramp up tooling itself.

In New York, the traffic cops ignore illegally parked cars that somehow indicate they're part of the brotherhood. A reflective vest will do, so will a hand written note saying you're a cop, court officer, employee at DA's office, surgeon, accountant in NYPD, anything really that indicates you're "one of them". A thin blue line sticker will also work.

It's wonderful.

Am I to understand that the city should subvert its own laws because some owners have no scruples?

If this proves to be an issue and not just a speculative problem, then let's empower drivers to report owners for malfeasance. Until then, I'm content to treat it as the hypothetical it is.
Just because it's been that way in the past doesn't mean it's ok now. It would be simple to credit these to "Elden Ring art team" or something like that.

The more I think about this comment, the more I feel it is missing the point. They do expound a fair bit on the term “law” but even admit both that the title is a bit flippant (and not the one they originally wanted to go with) and that their formulation of the concept is not yet meeting criteria necessary to consider it a “law,” only that they believe there probably is an underlying law.

Like many have said in the past, computer science is not really “science” or even engineering. And if that’s true, then software architecture really isn’t science. It’s closer to a soft science if anything. There may not really be a meaningful definition of “law” and that degree of rigor may not be very easy to accomplish. After all, there’s hardly anything objective about it.

However, that doesn’t mean that observations about it are not interesting. I certainly think Conway’s law is interesting despite that it may not meet the criteria to be called a “law” in a harder science.

I think the abortion one is a civil law (which has not be seen before). I believe the idling law is criminal (citation). Most states have a process already for submitting a private criminal complaint, just without the fine sharing.

I've also read nearly every other Sanderson book after Stormlight. While they're still quite good, none of them quite compare to the depth or significance of the Stormlight Archive.

I'm not Christian and as such am not familiar with Biblical stores, but I would be inclined to agree that the messages Sanderson conveys in Stormlight could perhaps be derived from those stories. However, something that strikes me is that Sanderson mentions faith and religious conflict in all his novels, but seems to transcend a singular true faith (eg. in portraying Jasnah's atheism, I've seen people mention her reasons for rejecting God are surprisingly accurate to what real people believe, and Sanderson attributed that to spending time on atheist forums to understand their beliefs better).

> the book definitely has me feeling inspired and motivated thus far.

I found Rhythm of War to be the most (read: exceptionally) inspirational and motivational of the four novels (followed by Words of Radiance) , so I would wager that there will be much more in terms of inspiration in the following novels. And good luck with your reading journey! The Stormlight Archive was truly a wonderful experience to read (and I've re-read it since then) and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

You're probably right that my rough sketch for a proof wouldn't work.

That said, first of all, I don't think structured concurrency has to be a tree. I think it can be a DAG. See my comment at [0].

To solve the main(), quux(), foo() problem, just have main() open a threadset, spawn quux(), then call a function while the threadset is still open, and in that function, open another threadset that spawns foo().

The main(), foo(), bar() problem is a problem of cancellation. In that one, I believe that foo() should not return until bar() does. And if you need to cancel, use deadlines. That is why my code has cancellation built-in, with timers to implement deadlines. (Well, it's still alpha, but the rough shape of it is there.)

>For the people in this thread worried about violence against the reporter, I think it much more likely that drivers will simply get the message and turn off their damn engines.

You obviously haven't tried to ask a delivery driver in NYC why their truck is running... I have done it several times in the east village, and got nasty looks and angry responses every time. I wasn't even recording or anything, just walked out of my door and said "hey man, any reason you have to run your truck right now?" And I'm also a 6 foot, not-skinny, guy.
I imagine that would be true. There are very few people getting beat up by truck drivers relative to the number of people who don't like lax enforcement of idling and parking laws, placard abuse, etc.

>(Besides: it's a strange thing to appeal to when one side is physically assaulting the other.)

To many people there is not much difference between physical and economic damage. Add in the perceived personal disrespect and that's why you get fights.
If the person had been a repeat offender this is totally plausible. I once mentioned a builder to someone on a local council and she went on a small rant and gave me her number in case a certain behavior was repeated.
I always have the same impression.

Don’t get me wrong, Amazon or the manager might in the wrong here.

But when you only hear from one side, it reminds me of my coworker who complained of how poorly she was treated when she barely did any work and was eventually fired after a year.
BGP can be used for small things too.

Many enterprises use it for their connectivity. If you are multihomed it's basically essential.

Even if you are not multihomed BGP is the most robust way to handle failover between two uplinks to the same ISP. If you are not using full routes and just taking default from each ISP the requirements/load on your router(s) are almost nothing.

Another popular use case is inside private networks, especially over GRE tunnel meshes where the filtering features of BGP allow better/easier control over topology than OSPF.

I've even seen individual servers use BGP for anycasting (usually DNS servers) or http load balancing (with DSR and L4 hashing on the upstream router).
Nope, the ordinance that I found says they can run it for loading, unloading, and processing. I'm pretty sure refrigeration and food trucks fall into that.
I don't work for Amazon, but as an employee of another large conglomerate, it's really no skin off my back if they pay one of my colleagues $3,000 more. I make no more or less money as a result.

This blog seems to come up because the author voices a sort of plainly spoken view of their experiences in tech companies and people kinda commiserate with it.

To be honest, I've kind of lost all faith in user generated feedback. The first employee I ever had to fire was an internal help desk style person. After firing them for unrelated reasons I started getting all sorts of feedback about how it was time, and people were glad someone finally dealt with the issue. I start digging in and it turns out this person had just been closing tickets they didn't feel like dealing with, with no response. I also heard stories of some pretty hostile interactions with out users. The thing is, we sent out a short little survey to the user after every ticket closed. A little two question thing, "Did we solve your problem?" and "Are you satisfied with the service your received?". This person had a 99% satisfied rating.

Getting accurate feedback from employees is hard, and I can only imagine new employees feel even more pressure to say positive things.

> What are folks’ tips for making onboarding smoother?

The new employee's manager should expect to escort them continuously for the first week. Onboarding is, generally by design, a rare event and something will always go wrong. Quite often, managerial authority is required to cut through the logjams that appear.

Yes, there may be a stupid HR requirement--as a manager, let the new employee know that you understand this is stupid but that we just need to get it out of the way, anyhow. As an engineer in semiconductors, I have had to sit through the "Acids are bad, mmkay?" fab worker safety lectures more times than I can count even though I was not allowed to even get close to the production fab floor. That's just life due to lawyers.

You get a signing bonus when you sign, hence the name. I'd consider it a massive red flag if a company bucked the trend and made it contingent.
It depends on the incentive structure, but the SEC's whistleblower program is a notable example of reporters being given a percentage of the fine.
So large that being one of the hardest working employees might not mean much. If stats forecast that they need to trim employees it could either be random or using criteria that is different than what was traditionally valued.

As someone who may to may not have worked uh, somewhere like this, and observed decisions like this, they absolutely, positively don’t give a rat’s behind about losing $3,000, especially considering the money they burn in the bonfire of bad ideas.

The real problem is a manager or leader doing this behavior out of spite, or a leader who really doesn’t understand the business doing it to naively prove his thriftiness to some other boneheaded leader in an act that ultimately has zero value to the company. So IMHO, blame the mid-level leadership, not the corporation.
"That last article itself cites 15 sources. The data shows significantly more deaths from diesel than asbestos and roughly or par with lead. Remember that those exposures last a lifetime, so the data lags significantly."

Not saying it's not bad, but this equivocation is just not accurate in my view. More deaths sure - because more people were exposed. Can you honestly tell me you would rather be exposed to asbestos or lead (no ppe)? Also, emissions controls have increased as has air quality since the 80s. I doubt this idea that the data still has lag left in it. We would expect to see the most impact at the higher exposure levels.

That is a bullcrap phrase all interviewers and HR say.

Look, how would you know your interview process isn't filtering critical numbers of good engineers?

You have no control group for that assertion. None.

And engineers are known to be neurodivergent more than your usual meatsack.

For example, your assertion works really well if the subconscious goal is to only hire white people. After all, black people sue for discrimination to better to be safe and avoid them.

I've been fired after receiving more money/promotion, I've been fired after 3 months and benefits have been activated, I've been fired within 3 months for various reasons by sketchy and non-sketchy companies, one of which was stupid enough to actually keep me on longer than 3 months amd think they could just sever ties and not pay me out. There's no detail in the post, but the story is totally plausible. Companies suck and shouldn't be trusted.

I spent more time in 2021 waiting on gas pumping in my ICE than I did on my EV charging. Easily more than an hour of time going out of my way to go to fuel stations, potentially waiting for a pump, pumping gas, then getting back on my way versus 0 minutes on my EV just plugging in immediately when I pull into my garage.

I'm already at >30min on waiting for gas pumping on my ICE for 2022. I'm still at 0 minutes on my EV.

If I go on a road trip and spend an hour waiting to charge, I will still have spent less time waiting on refueling on my EV than my ICE.

Oh yea, its also almost 1/10th the energy cost driving the EV than the ICE.
