> If an L6 manager could keep all of the details of all of the things all their reports are working...

That's not what they said, is it? There is a huge difference between what they said and how you interpreted it. They said "you need to be able to build the software and review diffs and write serious ones now and again" and "it’s very difficult to manage a process that you don’t understand with some sophistication" (emphasis mine). How do you get 'know every little detail about everything' from that?

It seems obviously true to me that any manager who can't "build the software", "review diffs", and "write serious [diffs] from time to time" is useless. Anyone who disagrees with this is probably dead wood, spends their time fighting political wars about issues they don't understand, and their team is more likely than not constantly fire fighting and in serious trouble (in my opinion).

If I had a dollar for every time some clueless manager lectured me about how to write software, and I rolled my eyes and ignored them, and they never found out (because they had no idea what was going on to begin with, and were just posturing based on something someone said) I would have at least $100. I obviously have a chip on my shoulder here, but managers who barely know what is going on still tend to want to 'contribute', which of course they can't do in reality, so they end up playing keyword matching and 'helping' the team avoid 'duplicate effort'. For example, they will see one team building something, and another team building something, and notice some of the words are the same, and then make a big show of 'avoiding duplicate work', but in reality the use cases are extremely different and nothing was being duplicated. Once they have alienated enough of the team, people just start telling them nonsense and they have no way to know it. Productive, smart people start to leave or lose motivation. A fast pace is replaced with constant excuses and a team that is basically no longer showing up for work. The manager can't tell the difference. This is what managers who aren't in the details are like, pretty much without exception.
Looks like at least some of the authors are working for Google (if not everyone), with compiler backgrounds. I wonder if this is a strategical investment from Google to make cxx like approach more robust? Chrome team showed some interests on using Rust but not sure if there's any significant code written in Rust from then. Benefit from using Rust beside well isolated library might be quite limited without this kind of lifetime annotation while interop itself is additional cognitive overheads for programmers.
This is true, but the plant actually contains both. The amount of each can vary widely based on which species you're talking about. The species linked here, commonly known as Mormon Tea, is one of the few species that doesn't contain any ephedrine and only contains pseudo
You see all kinds of statements about white people that would be considered absolutely reprehensible if said about other races. The excuse is always that "you can't be racist against whites".

My best and it turned out my worst hiring experience as the hiree was when I was reentering the workforce as a dot-com-bust refugee after a few years of self-(un)employment. I was switching to the new language javascript from Java and didn't know much yet. After a nominal phone interview I was called in for a single in-person interview with the founder of a startup and was hired on a probationary basis. After a week I was fired for incompetence in javascript which was quite true however I increased my javascript knowledge that week by an order of magnitude. The cost to the startup was a lot less than disrupting their overburdened devs work to interview me.

Being on the left does not require pacifism. But it does mean opposing fascism and racism, and sometimes fighting against them.

A const object can still have a const pointer to a non const object. It's a source of much confusion and I've seen such errors often in our own code base.

Immutability is not so simple in C++ as it might first appear.
Meth is less neurotoxic/harmful than MDMA.

It is far more powerful, and cheaper, and prevents sleep - that is the most dangerous. The tendency to re-dose is high enough to be difficult for low-willpower people to not succumb to.

Heroin, opiates, and opoids, can also be used with a relatively decent risk-profile. The potential for addiction is higher, once tolerance is established.

Xanax makes meth and heroin look like kid's toys.

Don't take Xanax except for when you genuinely feel like you may hurt yourself.
Things are flagged because people flagged them. Sometimes it's because people don't agree with them, sometimes it's because they don't think it's appropriate for HN.

Flagging is not just, or even primarily for, offensive content. It's for stuff that's off-topic for HN in the judgement of the flaggers. For example, celebrity gossip is usually flagged. So are duplicate stories, or posts that essentially just kick of a tired debate, like a story about vim > emacs.

N=35,178. Give us a break, its too small of a study to make any conclusion.
I find it hard to believe that most web/sass companies are not doing the same kinds of queries to the database, consuming stripe APIs the same way, or adding a job to a queue in similar fashion. I think this is true even in the open source world. Any senior dev should be able to pair with someone knowledgeable and provide value, with the exception of very technical code bases. Most web/sass companies do not have very technical code bases.

I would give the same bug to all the candidates for baseline purposes.
The data from the project is released to the public domain (CC0). The research article is also free to access.

See https://github.com/marbl/CHM13 and https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abj6987.
Your computer has multiple network interfaces, and it has routing tables that tell it which interface to use for each IP it tries to talk to. E.g. your home router basically has one interface talking to the outside world and another talking to your local network, and its whole job is patching together connections through each of those interfaces.

Your personal computer will have ethernet and/or wifi, and those are entirely separate network interfaces, but it will also have a loopback interface (which is a dummy software-only interface that just connects back to your computer). The "localhost" hostname points at 127.0.0.1, and that IP is bound to the loopback interface, so all connections through localhost won't even hit the network, they'll just be looped back in (hence the name).

What all those -H/--host/--bind options do is tell your service which of those network interfaces to bind to. Instead of specifying an IP (and, therefore, an interface) to bind on, you can use 0.0.0.0 as a catch-all "meta-IP" that will tell your service to listen on all interfaces.

My personal preference (though it does require a bit more setup ahead of time) is to keep all these (HTTP) services listening on localhost, and then configure one single NGINX instance that binds on the external interface and proxies each individual service.
Either most of this is not really a response to the article, or I'm really misunderstanding something here.

(The article may be good or bad, I don't know.)
I lean towards the other poster too. In 1994, my household had a computer with windows 3.1 and games. My dad was a software engineer. I was still in grade school. Every other kid who had a desktop computer and Doom 2 at home had a parent who worked as a software developer/engineer, or they were some sort of IT/network/sys/admin. The only exception I can recall is a kid whose parents were neither, but his uncle was one of the OG Blizzard devs.

Things changed very fast after 1994, though. I think by 1998, everyone I knew had a desktop at home, even if they didn't play videogames.
Regarding the research - thanks! I do like Dan Pink. Kahneman is still on my to-read list.

So the assertion is that, if grades act as an extrinsic motivator, they replace passion/pride/curiousity as intrinsic motivators? That argument vaguely makes sense to me but personally it feels like more of a “both and”.

As for your approach to measuring success - no offense, but it sounds like the sort of vague, feel-good, don’t-fret-it sort of goal-setting that techniques like SMART goals, KPIs, and OKRs are intended to supercede. Do you do anything like those?
Then join me in saying outright that these people are not part of the left.
No disrespect to the author or their project but the "profile READMEs" and other social features bolted on to GitHub in the past few years are a load of crap. When I visit someone's profile, I don't care who they are or what ever page long ramble they have to say. I just want to see their code. IDGAF about their ratio of PRs to Issues either or their "achievements". We're here to bloody write code not jerk each other off.

I wish they would stop trying to turn it into a social network.
I've tried to set up some modern games in ubuntu with wine for a friend and it was pretty much impossible. Old games, yes, new games, a nightmare.

This is true but if it's well known that you fire, say, 30% of your hires after 6 months then you'll have a much harder time attracting the kind of candidates you want to be attracting. You can compensate for the devs' opportunity cost with, well, compensation, but you'll be competing with FAANG, whose high-turn reputation isn't even 30% bad (with the possible exception of Netflix)
If a recruiter told me there would be 8 additional interviews, I would definitely not move forward unless the pay was ridiculously good. At least when amazon does the loop its 6 hours in a single day, and their pay is very good.

I don't have an argument against that observation, but it's agnostic to my concern in people discussing RF as a risk to brain cancer. The rise in rates is an observation and probably a good one but they intentionally do not try to ascribe a cause in that study.

The potential causal mechanisms have been studied for a long time to contrast:

"Overall, the epidemiological studies on RF EMF exposure do not show an increased risk of
brain tumours. Furthermore, they do not indicate an increased risk for other cancers of
the head and neck region." - European Commission Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks, 2015

http://ec.europa.eu/health/scientific_committees/emerging/do...

What I care about is people ascribing a casual effect by conjecture alone, especially when the research has actually been done to assess the probability/impact of a proposed mechanism. In all flavors and frequencies in the RF spectrum, this has turned up basically zero probability, uncertain impact (because how do you measure rhe impact on something that never happens), yielding zero risk out the other end.
Yes and we need better language and analogies to talk about the non-superstars in these "new" economic arrangements. Gig economy workers being directed by an API Ala Uber/delivery apps are analogous to landless laborers in developing economies. Those with a virtual "stall" on someone else's platform (Etsy/Youtube/mobile app stores) are reminiscent of sharecroppers.
Huh, this is some really cool/interesting stuff. Mind sharing your demo? How do you do the ML part, in house models that you deploy or do you call an API? Super curious about how you do this
Oh, finally! I haven't heard about it. Thank you!
Google basically owns all the advertising space now so they're restricted in their growth to the overall growth of the segment. So they squeeze out their overhead wherever they can. This is how managers protect their numbers. Anyone who suggests spending the money on customer support for creators is going to get laughed out of the room when they run the numbers on the cost and what it'll do to the quarterly numbers. Meanwhile there's no viable competitor to do it because they're such a monopoly due to network effects.

Digital broadcasting adds significant latency so it would be in sync with the TV but still out of sync with the actual game (and other broadcast receivers).

The same issue affects radio time signal (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich_Time_Signal, last beep is the exact top of the hour), so some broadcasters will no longer play them on internet streams/digital radio, rather than be inaccurate.
Junk DNA is, AFAIK, not actively expressed (used to create proteins). It's important, though, in the sense that spacing between gene expression sites is a control on which genes get expressed under which conditions (so the junk adds necessary spacing between important genes).

I did _some_ research on epigenetics during my MS degree. Spacing between sites was an important factor in our modeling of gene expression.
35 infected, 178 uninfected. The comma is misleading. A slash or semicolon might be better.
No. Sort the array. Then use two indexes, one on each side of the array. Increment indexes to meet in the middle.

This is one of those tricks you just have to memorize and it's very hard to come up with the solution in 30 min.
That's what this "region borrow checking" solves: if a pure function (or block) regards all previously existing memory as one immutable region, it doesn't matter if there was any mutable aliasing happening before, because everything inside that region is shared and immutable now.

Don't get me wrong, it's not the only missing piece for C++; C++ lets pointers escape to other threads which might modify the objects while our thread considers them immutable. Vale solves this by isolating threads' memory from each other (except in the case of mutexes or Seamless Concurrency). Luckily, there are plenty of schemes that can solve that particular problem for C++.

If I had infinite time I would love to figure out how to implement this into C++, after the proof-of-concept in Vale. It's a fascinating topic, and an exciting time in the memory safety field, full of possibilities =)

Really cool, I like hardware that uses power like this

Also with something like this if it's using say a cellular or sat network you could drop it in the wilderness somewhere, a node that is hard to take down. Maybe some kind of Lorawan is more realistic but yeah something working remote/not on standard network provider. (but somehow is visible by http? hmm)
Conan isn't even in the same playing field. Conan is mostly silly skits that have little or nothing to do with politics. Colbert used to do news infotainment, which means the primary bulk of his content was responding to the news of the day.

> I've seen a bit more than half of fired employees come back with some form of discrimination lawsuit threat

That's crazy. I have literally never heard of anyone actually doing that irl, only ever in the media (and then mostly English-speaking media at that). Half of them? Do they ever win those? Don't they need to pay for the company's lawyer costs if you can convincingly argue this claim is entirely baseless opportunism? Is there ever even a slight basis for this, any colleagues that treat them just a little bit less nicely or anything?

Edit: upon re-reading to add the citation I noticed the word "threat". Additional question: anyone ever follow through on that, or were the threats ever credible?
These ads for AutoTrader are so funny though because it's "we don't add hidden fees" instead it's "we bought Kelly Blue book so now our prices seem to be fair but are probably the same $2k higher anyways".

Glass prison or dirty prison? I suppose it depends on one's confidence in wading through the scammers but getting a better deal. Find cars that have been on the lot almost 30 days - they need to dump them before the dealer has to pay the bank.
You didn't actually propose a mechanism that describes how this proposed effect causes damage to DNA and causes cancer and I'm not your Google-scholar to search for that for you. Provide evidence, here's mine:

> I don't care about misgendering and being misgendered

They do. What's wrong with respecting their wishes?
I think the whole purpose of punishment is to discourage others from committing the same crime - not to punish an individual for the sake of retribution.

If you think about it, retribution is pretty petty. It doesn’t accomplish anything and a civilized society should do away with it.

The only reasonable basis for punishment then is the “educate millions” rationale above. To the extent that it is effective in establishing rails for a stable society, I think it’s morally acceptable to do so.

You accurately summarized the crux of the argument: it’s all about your views on the dignity of the individual.
Seems empty.
This is my experience as well.

I’ve been taking it for the better part of 20 years - dabbling in various dosages of XR and Ritalin in an attempt to nail down an optimal therapeutic dose - and my conclusion has been that (for me) nothing works nearly as well as frequent microdosing of IR.

As an aside: One aspect of Adderall that doesn’t get nearly enough attention outside forums/subreddits is that the generics seem to have wildly different effects/potency depending on the manufacturer. I highly recommend others with ADHD that are prescribed to Adderall IR try to experiment switching around generics if possible.
I have to agree with you. So many people try justify the interview process with their intelligence or "costing the company multi-millions". It's all tied to their ego. I wonder how much of it is stockholm syndrome.
CIA affiliated organization

Substantiation needed -- to be treated with extreme skepticism otherwise.

Hint: the word "affiliated" has a specific meaning -- and your substantiation will have to support that meaning.

Also, I've seen the articles you're about to post already -- and the evidence they offer is quite tenuous, and does not support the claims they make up at the top.
I lost a lot of the blind faith I had in people who make http servers when I realized some network configurations just can't be expressed.

Like next.js's "Production Server"[1] uses Node's builtin server, which doesn't natively let you listen on more than one IP. And because next.js hardcodes 0.0.0.0, it doesn't also listen on the IPv6 equivalent if available, which breaks some clients when using "localhost" as the hostname (BusyBox wget as a notable example I found).

With what money? The west will hardly make any significant loans or investments to Ukraine, when Russia can always steamroll in, and shell everything to pieces whoever they feel like it. If Ukraine were under the NATO protection like the Baltic and EE states, then yeah, investors can expect their money is safe there. But until Ukraine gets any real protection against future Russian aggression, not much will change.
