The only way you can refute is by being obtuse. QA testers and dentists using software are not the same, not at all - that was the premise for my whole point and you refuted it by pretending I didn't say it.

I assume you are a teacher, so what's truly laughable is that I must explain this to you: teaching students is at least a factor more intimate than delivering a finished piece of software or other commodity to a user - its also a factor less complicated to deliver a MVP. If we are talking textbooks, then you're objections apply - I would hope teaching in your mind occupies a distinct space from textbooks.

Surely many students displeased with instruction will be ignorant with some nuances and limitations of structuring a class, but the gap between good prescription and naive wishes is not a half career's worth of experience when it comes to teaching. I'm sorry to burst your bubble: Teaching is not rocket science, it is not software engineering - the prestige a teacher earns comes from either their qualifications in an advanced field or their effectiveness in imparting knowledge (or perhaps their proclivity to allow cheating depending on how you measure).

There are surely many teachers instructing arithmetic that understand teaching better than doctorate professors. Are you going to tell me that a piece of writing outlining common pitfalls, an earnest reader, and a creative mind really get you no further than a fresh, apathetic track-following graduate when it comes to innovation? Get real.

If teaching is the only thing that makes you good at teaching then I guess we should ignore all sharing of information about it, even from those who are good at it. Well, or we could just ignore your sentiments about who should be allowed to innovate in public.

So they form a corporation and donate to several Super PACs that are technically (though not functionally) independent from the campaigns they wish to support, and that will do with the money what the campaign would have done (buy millions of dollars' worth of ads on TV and social media).

Technically you are right, they can't donate directly to campaigns by forming a corporation here, but they can get close enough that if you squint you can't tell the difference.

If foreign billionaires are giving money to the Liberals, it's probably in an attempt to sabotage Labour, for the benefit of the Tories.
Software Architecture: The Hard Parts
I love birds, and have multiple nest boxes and feeders around my home. I've learned to identify my backyard birds by using The Cornell Lab of Ornithology website: https://www.birds.cornell.edu/home
I'm also working on a funny animated cartoon about birds with some factoids thrown in:

I think birding is a great way to introduce kids to the idea of land conservation and habitat preservation for wildlife near human populations. Birds are able to co-exist well with us within suburbs and cities if there are large parks or nature preserves nearby. Humans obviously also benefit from having a place to go near their homes that can bring them closer to nature, which can be both mentally calming and physically invigorating. And of course other animals and plant species would benefit from protecting and/or expanding park land.

The IRS taxation of American's abroad is basically just filing a normal federal tax return and claiming a $100k+ exemption on foreign earned income. It's very simple. The meme that the process is "vexatious and obdurate" seems most often propagated by those who have never done it.
Yep... NYC as well.
I remember when I was looking to buy a place back in 2014. I saw one I liked in Brooklyn, and asked the agent to see it.

He said that there were already two all cash offers, and one was over price. I said: who buys them all cash? He said: Russians, for their kids.

Large cities, like NYC, SF, London, Paris, and Vancouver are seen as good places to park money in real estate, as they are international hubs.

> It’s crazy how much more attractive the list is, even when there’s zero content. Why?

* it's funny-- the list example appeals to me for content like HN posts.

* for something like a prose analysis of the first 33 measures of the first movement of Beethoven's Op. 101, the non-list version is more appealing. In fact, my prejudice is that the list version will be both a gloss and factually inaccurate.

Just curious: Any practical difference between Algo [0] and PiVPN [1] from someone that has tested them? Both seem to support Wireguard.

[0]: https://github.com/trailofbits/algo

[1]: https://pivpn.io/

I just learned about Algo but have been a long time user of PiVPN (from when they only supported OpenVPN!) on my Raspberry Pi, so in the case that I wanted to reinstall the server, I wonder if the change would bring something new to the table.
That's what I've been getting at, but it would require voluntary industry participation (hasn't and won't happen), or regulation from a set of countries able to drag everyone else along with them. EU might be a shot.
We're beyond that. I've set a new goal. I'm going to try to negotiate a four day work week for myself. Not 4x10. 4x8. I mean, Ideally it would be as little as possible, but someone might actually agree to 4x8.

Perhaps the word “tool” was misplaced. For something like a hammer that you can buy once and then just use, the manufacturer's corporate personality isn't really relevant, yeah.

But for goods and services where you're (perhaps tacitly) entering an ongoing relationship with the manufacturer — like software, which requires maintenance — the company's reputation is important, and it reflects on the values of the consumer.

In a free market, consumer choice dictates what companies do, so by buying from a company that uses child labour (for example), you're endorsing and literally funding that practice.

I don't think this is a new phenomenon: companies have long been rewarded and condemned for taking positions on the moral questions of the day, at the very least as far back as Luddism.
How do we know who the richest people in the US are? Forbes' list is based largely on first-order research of federal filings, like stock ownership, compensation, and extrapolation from data that is made public. But with so many ways of channeling wealth, it seems likely the very wealthiest could easily remain anonymous. I don't recall who said this, but the president of a hedge fund was being interviewed by Forbes and told them, paraphrased, "You have no idea how much money I have, and you never will." I could be wrong about how the Forbes list is computed, but it seems to be more guesswork than rooted in reality, since the Paradise and Pandora papers uncovered more wealth than has been reported. (Again, I'm not 100% certain I'm mixing up internet disinfo.)

> delivering 142 fps at 4K and 114 fps at 1440p...

Why and how would these GPUs deliver more fps with higher resolution. 4K is 2160p or 2x1080. Shouldn't 1440p (2x720) deliver more fps? Someone please tell me what is going on here.
You are absolutely correct. That's why I ask here. I'm a bad story designer, but I really would like it to have a good story to motivate people.
I have progressive mobility loss. one time I went down the stairs to a bar, assuming there'd be an elevator back up - it was a big building. Bartender just told me to fuck off. I had to crawl up the stairs on my hands and knees with a friend behind me, holding my walker and ready to catch me if I fell.

if the bartender had been apologetic I wouldn't have felt so furious, but his utter disdain had my blood boiling.
He said that it was unlikely, but not impossible, pointing to risks like a large global economic crisis that drives away investor money before Starlink becomes self-sustaining (which requires Starship to be successful too).

I think you're seriously exaggerating the "gulf between what he says and does". He's always been the type to be extremely focused on the smallest of risks.

The same flaw applies to cash. If you give someone $5 there is no way to revoke that transaction. You only can ask them to make a new transaction and give you the $5 back. Just like how additional layers were built on top of cash,new layers will be built on top of cryptocurrencies leading way to the "crypto 2.0" you are waiting for.
I severely wish for SELinux to have better documentation. I can and I have worked myself into dense and hard topics with little documentation, but SELinux is it's own thing. I can totally see how SELinux could improve the security of all our custom application servers a lot, and I think that's the case for pretty much all custom aplication servers - but it has taken months of thinking, reading sparse documentation, thinking about my linux knowledge to get some faint idea of how to implement a policy for a service. however, that's far from where I'd be confident to start this as an actual project.

Given recent redhat stunts and our current infra switch, I hope AppArmor is less dense, or at least equipped with more approachable documentation.

If you want revokable transactions, you could invent a smart contract that releases money to either the bearer or the originator on the basis of your decision. Then the contracts could be traded on the basis of people's predictions about what your decisions would be.

>> some other boogeyman lawyer is after them

or you know there really could be... There is entire sub-group of lawyers that are ADA Trolls, just like there are Patent Trolls, and Copyright Trolls. They exist not to make business more accessible, but to line their pockets and make business hard for everyone, these lawyers give the ADA regulations a bad name and it a real and actual problem.

>>Vast majority of people want to completely ignore accommodation and absolutely hate being told to do the bare minimum for other people

Ummm no. That is not actually true. the problem is often times the regulations are inflexible, and unaccommodating themselves businesses are often put in position where they simply can not comply for some reason or another to every letter of very regulation (of which are vast, vague, and complex)

Business owners also do not like to be continually threatened with heavy fines, and government violence in order to operate their business.

>This site especially has a vocal block of libertarian leaning self centered privileged tech workers

it is very sad that we have come to the point where only authoritarian control via threat of violence are to be seen as the "acceptable" solution to a social problem. At one point the liberal solution was anti-violence now it seems the only acceptable solution for vocal block of ill-liberal self centered privileged tech workers is to use the power of government violence to force their will upon others believing in their own moral certitude that their world view is the "correct" one, and anyone that disagrees has to be selfish immoral bigot or uncaring capitalist scum, or other such thing......

Liberal solutions instead would be using other incentives to persuade people to voluntary solutions
Last time I was in an African country there were people wearing shirts like "Atlanta Winners 2019" when it was some other baseball team that won in 2019. So similar to what you describe.

Those shirts were probably made in Asia, but ruin the African clothing industry.
I've been using DDG for several years and every once and a while I prefix my search with "g!" to search google, and it isn't any better, so I stopped doing that.

Maybe people don't know there are alternatives? How does OP expect them to switch to Hypersearch if they aren't even using DDG which has been around for a very long time?
Let's say someone writes a blog article. They publish it on Wordpress with a bunch of unoptimised defaults. Some time after, someone comes along and says "Hey, the search engine will rank your post more highly if you include the name of the post in the URL instead of just having it be blog.example.com/posts?id=1234", so they change the URL. Is that SEO? Should that result in the site being de-listed/banned? It doesn't meet your definition of "provide website content that is more relevant/interesting for the viewer".

And where is the line between "provide website content that is more relevant/interesting for the viewer" and SEO? If I realise that (to take an example from something found on Google) I could take the sentence "Identify the best customers and convert more" and rewrite it as "Marketing automation helps you identify the best customers and convert more", is that SEO because I'm intentionally adding a keyword, or is that making the content more relevant to the user by being more explicit in what I'm saying?

By that logic, I can refuse to follow this law without consequence? Sounds to me like my options are to comply, pay fines until I can’t and then comply, or go to jail (which would be done at gunpoint).

What am I missing? What’s the magic way to avoid complying with this new government edict without escalating to violence?
Am management, can confirm. I preferred the office for personal happiness reasons, but seeing the sustained high output [0] during WFH, why would I risk messing that up?

(I don't stop people from going in to the office of course, I just don't push them to, and the company has told us "do what works". I just started going in one day a week, and it's been nice. We will do a week-long in-person gathering later this year and include the remote folks we hired since covid.)

[0] Yes, high output even when normalized for various factors that were dramatic early in the pandemic, but are tapering back to a new baseline, like people not taking vacation, or working longer hours because there was nothing else to do. Yes also, my team reports many downsides to being distributed. But the sustained net output is high, and we're hiring great people twice as quickly.

I'm very glad none of it will ever reach the UK. This is the price they paid to leave the EU. I say that as a Brit who voted to remain. Serves the Tories right, cutting off their noses to spite the EU.
And as of now, they are listening to users very attentively. Just a few hours ago I suggested they clarify the defualt "Programming" filter since it only searches q&a sites (i.e Stack Overflow) and they have already changed the name to "Programming Help" to make it more clear.

I think the connective tissue in such a list-article (I hesitate to use “listicle” because it sounds so trivial) is in the introduction and conclusion. The intro is the classic “tell them what you’re going to tell them,” the list itself is the “tell them,” and the conclusion is the “tell them what you told them.” And items within the list can refer to other items, still letting the reader start anywhere while potentially guiding the reader to earlier points and tying the overall piece together.
Agreed. Maybe Dubai the least worst choice.

If you don't have the price set by a market, but some "a third-party financial firm" chosen by the corporation, well that just sounds like fraud?
I lived in USSR, and suppression of speech and opposition is exactly needed to have such high popularity. The transition into 199x shown that informed population doesn't allow to sustain such high popularity, and this is why Russian regime has been tightening the screws back over the last 22 years.

>some people may be scared to tell their opinion to a stranger over the phone

Yet, there is no need to enthusiastically point to a next country. Almost all pointing to the same one is extremely suggestive of it being a genuine result.

>I'm only asking whether you really believe that 75% people support the ongoing war and support starting war with multiple other countries?

Yes. Of course most of those people aren't going to fight themselves. And it will take some time and more sanctions before they start to question the situation. With all the sanctions the life in Russia is still much better than at the beginning of 199x, and until that the Russians feel just fine finding satisfaction in resisting that "American attack on them". And don't forget that "Ukraine was with American help making nuclear and biological weapons to attack Russia".
It's a Linux project aimed at being a Linux OS to compete with MacOs. As per usual with the linux community it's "if you want it roll your own". That's why the year of the Linux desktop will never come.
So if I'm reading your resume, I am personally trying to get a quick scan of you as a person before I meet you. Do you have an education? Or are you self-taught? Neither one is bad. Do you have an education in a completely different field, and is it interesting to me, could we bond over it? How long have you been in the industry for, was it at one place or a bunch of places, was that place dedicated to tech or was it a small tech team adjoined to a larger company doing other stuff. If I am diving into those it is because I want to know more about the level of responsibility you took on at that job. I wouldn't put it into bullet points because it shouldn't be long enough that you need bullet points, I need to know were you leading the team, mentoring others (more dev experience vs more leadership qualities--neither is bad), or were you a solid engineer, or were you transitioning from say security work to development. Just give me one or two sentences about who you were at that job.

Basically, reading is much faster than listening, so I would like to not waste your time in the interview getting to know things that you already told me through a faster, asynchronous medium.

BUT. But. A bunch of places that I have worked at also have a process by which a non-technical person pre-processes your resume before handing it to me. They are looking to see whether you have checked the boxes. IDK what boxes, it depends on what those folks are taking out of the posting. It probably helps if you have a section of buzzwords so that they can say “they say they have React experience, I can check the React box!” For me most of those criteria are fungible, but you have to put something for the HR folks to screen out half the applications.

Now, the interview is where it gets a bit trickier. I used to have a great approach to this, when I worked at smaller companies and had more say in the hiring process. That was just, “your resume is a claim that you are a certain sort of person, my interview just tests whether you are who you say you are, are you faking it or are you selling yourself short?” In other words if you say you managed your coworkers I want to devote 15 minutes to see what sort of manager you are, even for a non-management role.

But, now I work at a Big Tech company and I don't really have that freedom... Now when I am interviewing you, I have usually been asked to either assess culture fit or technical chops... If technical chops, I am usually not tailoring my questions too closely to your resume, but to the forms that I have to fill out after the interview. The actual programming exercise will usually be amorphous, the actual work will be simple but the scope will be unbounded relative to the interview length—and so I am not expecting you to complete it so much as to parcel it up into smaller workable chunks and execute on one or two of those. Based on how you do this I can usually give decent feedback on my forms without feeling like I have fed you a trick question.
Not at all, I suspect the more money you have the more you care about what your city has to offer. Restaurants, clubs, sporting events, galleries, museums, theater, society -- London has far more amusements for the wealthy than Dubai.
Thank you!

This comes up a lot when people argue in favor reforming how real estate is taxed.

When real estate isn’t for sale, it’s “value” is synthetic.

I wouldn’t actually sell my house for less than 400% what similar homes are worth.

For some people that means the value is 400% that of similar homes.

Thankfully the real estate tax folks don’t see it that way.
Going backwards and standing still often look the same. I think its both in this case to varying degrees. Google is competing against itself, obvious competitors but also obvious refinements that appear so regardless of actually being implemented. The no-login filter is a refinement that would be useful to many.

There are so many obvious improvements that could be made to gmail but there's no real way to do them as a consumer.
>It's a poem about the rise of authoritarianism [...] To use this poem as an argument against measures to stem the tide of authoritarianism is particularly perverse

And bypassing due process is also authoritarian. It might be in service of an anti-authoritarian goal, but that just gives me "the world must learn of our peaceful ways, by force" vibes.
Could you please go into more detail , I agree with you btw.
