Interesting, I'm enjoying Elden Ring a lot but still feel that Breath of the Wild is much better. I think people just have preferences for different things. Elden Ring is absolutely beautiful and the world is very detailed and creative with its art style (I am at the mountaintop of the giants level 105). I would say the combat feels worse to me. It's unnecessarily punishing and dodge rolling every enemy in some dance is very repetitive. I can't think of a boss I've fought that hasn't been the same strategy. Personally, I found there were more interesting ways to fight in Breath of the Wild using the environment and enjoyed combat more. The time it takes to move in Elden Ring just feels so slow.

The world in Elden Ring is beautiful but the controls and interactivity of the world is just lacking. I've died so many times that I never would have in botw (as the controls are precise and predictable).

Switching flasks is a pain and using them after getting hit once so you don't get killed is just so repetitive. It would be much better to have enemies hit a third of the damage and give you a third of the flasks.

Music in both is 10/10.
Breath of the Wild story/characters I prefer.
ER horse I prefer.
ER world I prefer visually.
Gameplay wise, I prefer breath of the wild's world.

Wish there was climbing, ability to destroy non furniture (of which you can't jump on to platform in this even if you wanted to). I don't like that I can't climb a two foot castle wall. If there is a chair next to the wall I just jump through it and break it.

Both are incredible games but I find the creativity, freedom, and puzzles what I look for in a game more than rolling through an absolutely stunning and detailed world.

> If I drive a car, and it causes pollution where I live, then aren't I, as part of society, paying the "true" cost?

No, because part of the cost is the fact that pollution in that area affects everyone -- including non-drivers. You're paying part of the cost, yes, but not the whole thing.

Imagine if there was some mechanism such that non-drivers inhaled as much pollution as there'd be if there were no cars*, and drivers inhaled as much pollution as is proportional to however much pollution they themselves create (this would vary not just based on a binary do/do not drive, but on how much you drive and how polluting your vehicle is). Then each person would be paying the true cost.

A true cost has to be proportional to the damage done, such that changing behavior results in changing cost paid.

As someone in the US, I'd be a solopreneur in a moment, if the healthcare situation didn't suck. At this point in my life, it suits me better than being an employee. Things are better post-ACA than pre-ACA, but still not all that great - especially if you live in a state that's not ACA friendly.

> These roles pay a huge sum of money, so there's a lot of worry that someone will be hired who doesn't really meet the bar, you know?

No, I don't. Making the wrong hire is costly not because of the total annual compensation, but because of the upfront cost which is realized the moment the employee signs the offer letter.

All the admin stuff.

By your logic you shouldn't fire someone either (at least not that easily) and maybe that's why so many FAANG engineers end up "cruising" because the company is so scared of hiring new talent.
Since it’s us mathematically minded people here, it’s worth pointing out that these studies don’t establish causation. You’d probably find a strong correlation between financial performance of firms and investment into other social initiatives, such as corporate philanthropy or environmental causes. It’s possible that wealthier and more successful firms are simply better able to afford such investments than less successful firms.

What numbers? It just asserts that society pays $9.20 for every $1 you spent driving. I don't see how that alone is plausible. A quick google says the annual TCO for a car (ie. how much "driving costs you") is $9,561[1]. If that figure is correct, then each car is costing society a whopping $87,961/year. Keep in mind, the US GDP per capita is only around $60-70k/year. Yes I know each person doesn't necessarily own a car, but it seems implausible that cars are actually costing a significant fraction of the GDP.

>if employees are burning out and then being PIPed instead of getting support I think that is a rather sad indictment of our industry in an of itself

The thing is most big companies don't care about your burn-out or personal situation, they either have product launch deadlines to meet, or revenue targets or customers to please, and people in the trenches are considered replaceable so churn is something they account for in order to meet those commitments.

If you're lucky you might have an understanding manager, but he himself may have targets to reach for his bonus or promotion, and if you're dragging his team down and his bonus promotion with it, then ... it's nothing personal, it's just business, you will be let go.

I worked for a major European semi company and the churn there is insane, either they fire people or people leave by themselves within the first 2 years. All because managers are given near impossible targets, along with great bonuses and stock packages to incentivize them to use whatever means necessary to deliver on those targets, usually at the expense of people in the trenches which are treated as expendable commodities.

Might want to note that BLM is very racially diverse.
There are generally three levels of people involved in a business:

1) The lowest level are the rank-and-file employees. These are individual contributors and middle management. These are the youngest employees given their lack of experience. Because they're the youngest, they've grown up with the most opportunities for traditionally unrepresented groups and thus are the most diverse group.

2) The second level is upper management. These people are older than the low-level employees and are slightly less diverse.

3) The last level, the board level, is largely made up of corporate retirees and are thus the oldest group. Given the lack of opportunity this generation experienced if you weren't part of a specific demographic, it's no surprise the board level is not diverse. The duties of a board member require experience in running a corporation and corporate governance. There just isn't a diverse set of people to draw from due to the average age of qualified people looking to be board members.

> Turn the table. How would you feel about your employees doing work for someone else on the side?

The alternative isn't much better. The current standard interview process leaves your employees going behind your back to interview for jobs with better compensation and the moment one of those offers materializes they put in their 2 weeks notice without blinking an eye.

Developer mindset is a finicky thing. Haiku has been around for 20 years, actually boots on large amount of hardware, now even has ports for Qt, GTK, X11, Wine and loads of other applications people are already familiar with. This year I handed over old Acer Aspire to a friend in need, slapped Haiku on it and he has a working computer. By all fairness, Haiku is already actually 'useable'.

But majority of indie OS mindset was suddenly captured over past couple of years by SerenityOS. It is a good project in itself, but goes to show 1.0 does not matter for capturing Dev mindshare.

If BusyBox did implement that kind of fallback, they'd need to set a default timeout. So the whole thing would still be broken because every other request would be delayed by the timeout.
Objective answer? Pretty much every single sentence is a subjective statement... "I like it,... I don't want... , my job would be awful, ....I can trust...."

Doesn’t matter, they’re domestic cats and you already explained a circumstance where they could expose visitors and owners. Half the year here is a hospitable climate for outdoor recreation and cat survival. Half of it isn’t. I have seen these cats for multiple years so unless they have an outdoor cat house (something I have never seen in my life) then I suspect they come inside.

The ratio of cat owners with outdoor cats is irrelevant. They exist and they are common. That’s enough to sink your assertions.
I'd tell them that every interview will cost them X/year in more salary.
I'm the only one that presented any data at all - the original comment simply asserted something was true, without backing it up in any way.

It's reasonable to expect a refutation to contain at least some data, instead of dismissing what data we do have as not complete enough, and reverting back to the original fact-free assertion.
I hear you! But these feelings are so common that if they justify breaking the guidelines, we might as well have no guidelines. Everyone always feels like the other person started it and did worse, and that their own contribution is always defensive and not-as-bad. Acting on that is a recipe for a downward spiral: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=downward%20spiral%20by:dang&da....

So as someone who is mixed (Cape Verdean father, Irish/Jewish mother), identifies as mixed, but is white passing (Latino passing in the summer if I get sun... which is rare these days. Spoken to in Spanish quite a bit), how would that work?

I ask in a meaningful way, not to spark an argument. It's just that this is so confusing.

Like I did not grow up with the hassle or hate (with exception of a few racist remarks made to me growing up after being asked my background) that my brown family members and friends encountered and still encounter today, but I could still benefit from legislation like this? It just seems off.

Also, couldn't people just game this and say they're xyz or how is this proven? If it weren't by self identification, birth certificates seem like they'd be an issue. For example, because my father was black but light skinned my grandmother got away with putting caucasian down on his birth certificate thinking it'd benefit him somehow in life, but if you saw him you'd say he's black. So what is he and his offspring considered officially when his whole life he has identified as black and my siblings and I as mixed?

Idk this just sounds weird to me

Edit: Sorry to OP. Not directly speaking to your pointing out of this being unconstitutional in California. Just that it's the first post I saw summarizing the legislation and was commenting on that
Going through a few days of grueling interviews every few years is vastly preferable to spending a few years working alongside people who can't pull their own weight. Hiring managers are timid about letting people go and it can take an extraordinary amount of time to part ways with unproductive people.
The comparison is not very fair to modern day xargs.

`nproc` is a relatively standard utility (coreutils). So, xargs -P$(nproc) gets you core (or core-proportional) parallelism.

Grouping output/Making a safe parallel grep is also easy-ish with `--process-slot-var=slot` and sending to `tmpOut.$slot`.

Jobs on remote computers can be done similarly with any kind of `arrayVar[$slot]` setup where `arrayVar` has a bunch of `ssh` targets, possibly duplicates if you want to run >1 job per host. (In pure POSIX sh you could use eval and $1, $2 positional args with shell arithmetic..)

Anyway, those three are just off the top of my head, unfairness-wise. Last I looked at the source for GNU parallel it looked like mountains upon mountains of Perl I would rather not depend upon, personally, but to each his own.
> Is it annoying for candidates? Yeah, but we pay you a lot of money, and it does actually work for us

The best candidates can get jobs paying the same or more money with fewer interviews, so the very best aren’t going to pick you.
The overwhelming majority of parents don’t want strangers discussing any topic of sexuality with their kids aged 3-8. Not even straight parents want straight sex topics discussed with their kids. This stuff is taught after puberty. That has long been decided as “inappropriate” for children.

If you want to discuss sex with your kids at age 5 that’s up to you. Don’t bring it up with my kids. Thank you
You could make the economic argument that the “subsidization” of car usage has economic benefits that outweighs the cost of subsidization.

If more people can afford to get to work because of the subsidies then the net output of work done could be greater than the cost of the subsidy itself.

If we're talking about a one phonecall + one in person session with different teams, lasting 2, 3 hours max, sure. If you expect me to take time off work 4, 5, 6 times and get inteviewed for several hours each time, you're either paying me for the lost time, or I'm not going through the process the moment i find out the length.

>The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.

ECDSA is easy to fuck up due to needing a "random" number for signatures (among other things, but that's the one Sony did and many others have since). Thankfully, we've figured out an easy fix for that: just hash the private key and the message, and use that instead of the randomness. That's in the spec for ed25519, so unless you're completely ignoring chunks of the spec (which would be unlikely to work for an algorithm like this, and wouldn't pass test vectors) you're probably fine on that front if you use it, even if you're reimplementing it.

Nice, but (like most tools) misses the crucial feature of start (or scheduled) dates.

I think of one the best plain text implementations of a todo system is the one that is a bit hidden in the task plugin that comes with Zim Wiki [0]. It has start and due dates, nested tasks, priority flags, keywords (which can function as GTD states for instance) and tags.

[ ] An example task with a @tag
[ ] A subtask with start AND due date >2022-04-02 <2022-04-09
[x] A prioritized subtask !
[x] An subtask with higher priority !!
NEXT Another task defined by a keyword

My partner works for a company that actually does pair programming in the interview process, to ensure all new hires perform satisfactorily using that method of development. All development there is done using pair programming and the general overall sentiment is that it improves productivity over solo development. So it works if everyone you hire works well with it.
Sadly, 5-7 interviews are quite common. I think this is because of a few factors:

- Instituting a multi-round interview process makes the company feel like it's very selective and hires only the best. This also discourages 'shoppers'.

- It is perceived to be more 'democratic': if there are 5-6 people in the team plus one manager, by giving everyone the chance to interview and weigh in on the hiring decision, it will be felt that everyone has got a say in who they work with. Plus it now becomes a collective decision owned by the team: if they hire a dud, they have no one but themselves to blame and they still have to work with him and produce results. This will reduce the incentive to hire someone less skilled (no one will admit that it will also reduce the incentive to hire someone more skilled or with a different background that is not easily evaluated).
Thank you OP. Wish I had found you earlier this year before buying a car from them!

Speaking out publicly might not be the most effective course of action. Recall that his previous efforts exposed illegal, secret government programs. He collected evidence and then published it, bringing to light illegal programs that were previously not public. He didn’t just tweet uselessly, he provided extensive proof or illegal programs.

Everyone knows Russia is conducting a blatant power and territory grab (except maybe the willfully ignorant). Snowden tweeting about it would teach us nothing new.

Maybe if the US stopped persecuting him for publicizing our government’s illegal programs he’d be free to leave Russian and criticize their illegal actions.

> Why would anybody pro abortion?

There are many reasons.

In the case that carrying a fetus to term would kill the mother: abort. One life does not merit the safety of another.

In the case that a fetus was conceived in rape: abort. Would you remind yourself, and even be beholden to, evil?

In the case that a fetus would be born unwanted: abort. It is better to be born into a loving family than raised in orphanages or worse: raised in a family who do not love you.
Tech horror stories and how to avoid them
> I failed the phone screen somehow by someone who sounded 20 years younger than me

I am definitely a little pretentious for saying this but I get kinda peeved when I am interviewing for high-level roles and my initial tech screen is by a junior engineer. It's not so much that I think I am too smart to be properly evaluated by them or that they aren't worth being part of a hiring pipeline (they very much should be!), but my opinion is that junior engineers aren't properly tuned for what is and isn't a good engineer and if they are, they shouldn't be a junior engineer.

The other side is when I get reached out to interview for a high-level role then get talked down to about how I don't fit their criteria and I basically wasted the executive vice president of external internal engineering's time.
