Be careful with this type of employment arrangements, though.

A relatively big US company (over 6,000 employees) used a PEO (Professional Employment Organization) years ago to hire me as a Senior Software Engineer. I worked there for 4.5 years, moving up the engineering ladder, as we normally do. Later, I interviewed at Apple, they extended an offer, which I accepted after a bit of negotiation. They started a background check and, unfortunately, I failed it because they found discrepancies between my résumé, the things I said during the interviews, and the employment contracts I submitted to HireRight (the company running the background check).

During the interviews, I talked about all the things I did at Company (A) when in reality all legal documents and paystubs said that I was (supposedly) working for Company (B), which may be true depending on how you look at it.

Obviously, I explained that Company (B) was simply an intermediary, and that all work I did was for Company (A). All references I provided from Company (A) come out clean, but Apple’s HR had already made up their minds about the background check, and that is how I lost a good job opportunity.

Ever since, I have been very careful about how I communicate that part of my work experience.
The argument isn't that they can't poke the bear. The argument is that if you poke a bear, you shouldn't be surprised when it comes after you. And expecting the rest of the world to wonder why the bear would respond to a poke, is silly. Bears do what bears do.
I get that LLVM can be bad too but at least there's a phabricator at all.
Totally agree. And it has become this quest for presumably so-called high performers to enable themselves and tell others how to spot something or someone.

Not only is it boring to listen to, but very much subjective.

You cannot measure quality. Its simply too difficult with all the variables in play over time.
Appreciate the option to do it without 3rd party tools, but if you do want more power in this space I find Magnet indispensable.

I have shortcuts for left/right-third and two-thirds, as well as left/right half, which I must use dozens of times a day. Oh and I use ASZX to push stuff to the 4 corners too.

A lovely little utility app.

I used to wonder that too. Having got to know a handful of people who've become very wealthy through their own efforts, though, I suspect being proactive is enjoyable for them ("thrill of the chase" and all that) in a way that undirected leisure is not. Some business people seem to be as compelled to strike deals or build companies in a similar way to how prolific authors or artists feels compelled to engage in their art.

I agree that unions should have both more power but be less consolidated.
Everyone here knows multiple unqualified coworkers.
I’m having a hard time seeing that work for them. Amazon’s tactics here fundamentally depend on there being an effectively inexhaustible pool of talent elsewhere that can be used to threaten any given store that considers unionizing, combined with the plausible threat of moving to get non union labor. Close up shop, hire non-union labor elsewhere, etc.

That might have been true of Walmart stores, which are relatively small and cheap to build, but I do not think it’s true for Amazon. The cost of relocating a warehouse is high, the number of places they can put a replacement warehouse is low, and the risk of another unionization push is non-trivial. Especially since Amazon is already beginning to hit head count issues; treating people as disposable drones doesn’t work when you need so many workers in a hot job market. They are probably making their unionization problems worse due to the way they view and treat their warehouse workers.

To be clear, I think they’ll try. What we’re seeing from Amazon is a real inability to react and innovate to new labor markets. I just don’t think it’ll work out as well for them as it did for say, Walmart.
The best refactor is the one you accidentally commit using the smooth, virtuoso commit command only for masters of the art, "git reset --hard". Fingers have a mind of their own sometimes.

Funny that all the phone versions have a hard coded UI. Isn't the point that org mode is just plain text so it's more free from? I currently use google keep. I'm not recommending it but to some extent I can use at as just a collection of synced text files.
If arrow keys are too far, alternatives can be:

- ctrl option b, ctrl option f
- ctrl a, e, k

Some GUIs and editors respect this, but it varies (Jupiter lab, emacs, GitHub.com text fields, etc)
Interesting, you and the poster you are replying to are the only people I’ve ever heard saying the 27” iMac is too high. Perhaps the difference is where your keyboard and mouse are located? If they are under the desktop on a keyboard tray, then your desktop height is effectively a few inches higher than it otherwise would be, and so is the iMac. But if the iMac is sitting on the same surface as the mouse and keyboard, then you must just have an odd preference for looking at a downward angle or a very short torso?
Would love to turn my 2014 5k iMac into a smart display as well, but Apple has prevented use of it as a display only. Any solutions out there?
I didn't know about rg, how does it compare to ag?
It's interesting to see the cyclical rise and fall of workers unions in the US. I'm of the opinion that there needs to be a balance between worker and employer rights - however it seems that, at least in the US, that balance swings back and forth quite often.

It seems like anti-union proponents will remind you of the bad times when unions had too much power, and union supporters will remind you of the bad times when the employers had too much power. These days we actually see a lot more of the latter. Will we swing back and forth indefinitely? Probably.

This is just sad. Just a hair over 50% of the eligible voters voted; weirdly, approximately the same voter turnout for US elections historically. Does half of any given population just not care enough to vote for something?

Gastrograph AI | gastrograph.com | Director of Data Science | Remote / NYC

*Director of Data Science*
We are looking for an experienced Data Science Director to lead the team responsible for all data applications, including model building, model testing, benchmarking, data visualization, and model performance. Gastrograph AI empowers the data science team to own all phases of the model development process.

While Gastrograph AI has 10+ years of sensory data, the database fits in memory and does not require "big data" techniques. Instead of large amounts of low dimensional data, we have a small amount of very high value high dimensional data. Working with such a data set gives the team a strong preference for
mathematically elegant and thoughtful models - we care more about a deep understanding of the underlying statistics than the possibilities of deep neural networks.

It should be noted that with Marek's disease we have no desire to create an actually healthful living environment which would reduce the prevalence of the disease in the population and instead have been raising billions of chickens PER YEAR in hideous filth with the understanding that we would be killing them before their environment did for 50 years to get where we are with Marek's and despite all this vaccinated chickens are still better off now than unvaccinated chickens were before the vaccine was invented.

Marek's doesn't make a good argument for vaccine skepticism because it represents a worst case arms race in which modern medicine was still by far the better choice. Also we aren't chickens and most diseases on average tend to become less damaging in order to spread better. Neither this average case nor the extreme case of Marek's are fate but the logical thing is to vaccinate and just keep swimming as it will obviously decrease mortality in the short and long term.

Moving on to the percentage of individuals in the hospitals in Canada being vaccinated.

You have entirely misunderstood the numbers if indeed your numbers are actually even accurate. Vaccination rate is very high in Canada around 90% with vulnerable groups being more like 95-98%.

Lets take this to the logical extreme. Imagine that out of one million people you are the only one unvaccinated and are hospitalized along with 100 vaccinated folks. Even in a world where vaccination decreased hospitalization by 99% you could accurately say that most of the people in the hospital were vaccinated as if that proved somehow that vaccines didn't work.

Indeed one expects with a successful vaccination campaign that eventually most of the people in the hospital are going to be vaccinated no matter how effective it is at keeping them out of it because almost all the vulnerable people are. In the last vaccine skeptic in the world universe you could instead look at which portion of each population is sick. In the vaccinated it would be 0.01% vs 100% of the unvaccinated giving the lie to the prior analysis.

Indeed the only reason to lean on that number is deliberate deception or utter failure to apprehend what the numbers mean.
You get RSA by default with GnuPG. Since the signature method embodies your PGP identity you want to pick the method with the widest implementation. RSA is supported by TLS 1.3 for roughly the same reason.

There are add on standards for various curves available for PGP should you want to mess around with them. GnuPG implements them all. Other implementations do not.

Note that the encryption issues associated with an offline compatible system such as OpenPGP are different than online connected systems like TLS. The article was mostly talking about the sort of issues that crop up with an online connected system.
From my quotes file: "Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one instruction---from which, by induction, one can deduce that every program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work." Proof: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEFBR14
I find self-hosting GitLab reasonably enjoyable. I use the Docker image (which contains the omnibus installation). It takes a ridiculous time to boot but I can only remember one time when upgrading wasn't as simple as pulling the new version and re-creating the container. Don't remember what went wrong though.

It's login-only, there's no other users, so I'm not too worried about security.

For anything public I use GitHub.
Paletro works wonders in this space. It’s like Alfred, but inside your application. (So I use my Alfred shortcut, with a Shift modifier.)

What’s great is the discoverability this affords. And because it shows the native shortcut right there, you can learn that if you want. Or if it’s something you don’t use so often, don’t bother.

Agree, and even if someone has "talent" it doesn't mean that they or their workgroup and larger organization can actually USE that talent effectively.
I'm a happy gitjournal user, and I want to +1 this. I'm already using it for checklists as plain markdown, and the format is pretty similar. I can see a lot of value to this as a semi-markdown compatible extension or second app sharing the codebase.
Maybe the article should say "use the security library that has the best developer documentation, as that gives the best chances of it working correctly."

I'm not sure why, but documentation on crypto libraries tends to be noticeably worse than the documentation for any other library, pretty much assuming that the coder has already written their PhD thesis on implementing a cryptographically secure system and doesn't need the documentation to explain what anything is.

And thus you have an endless stream of products that screw up setting the IV, because there was literally no guidance anywhere in the library about how you should handle it. Even big companies are made up of individual people and not everybody has the time to take graduate level courses on every single thing they're building before they build it.

Having the library audited for correctness is of no help when the majority of problems arise from just using it wrong because the documentation was incomplete, vague, or even outright wrong/out of date.

I'm not sure I understand your reasoning - why would some negative effects of an intervention automatically invalidate the positive effects? If you don't think there are plenty of positive effects, feel free to speak to somebody from the German Jewish community and see how they think about it.

Which is my point - in a democracy restrictions to the rights of individuals are there to protect the rights of others. This rationale is shared by many restrictions to individual rights, hence the speed limit example.
Interesting! This reminds of me of what it feels like to write const-correct code in C++.
Nope, unless you do some serious contortions and basically say that the universe is a lambda calculus that operates on each moment in time to produce a new view of reality.

Computers that do anything useful have all manner of I/O. Highly oversimplified in modern architecture, but you can think of I/O as a bunch of memory cells that are DMA'd by external forces. Literally the exact opposite of functional, IO registers are the epitome of global mutable state. Then you have interrupts and the CPU operates in response to these events.

The viewpoint of "computers are mutable state" is inherently better because of parsimony - it requires less degrees of indirection to explain what is happening. Just because you could shoehorn reality into a physical model, does not make it equally valid. You basically need to break it down to the Schrodinger equation level to have a purely functional model when even idealized gates are involved because propagation delay impacts things like how fast you can DMA.
> for them to cause a non thermal effect would mean some new effect we have never seen before anywhere

100% false. Practically everything that goes on in your body involves, one way or another, motion of ions in solution. Varying E-M fields induce electrical currents carried by such ions. Where and how matters.

It is always a grave mistake to confuse your entire lack of knowledge of a topic with certainty about it.

> Final thought on this, if I didn't really nail the point already, in the story of a founding company, the main reason why energy matters is you need at the end of the day, whatever the person's hypothesis early on in the business, it's generally wrong. And so what you're trying to evaluate is two things: one, will the market give you enough tailwind and excitement so that you continue bouncing around and trying other things, and two: how many things you're going to try and how quickly you're going to try them, so you know investing in someone who's starting a company and who's energetic is like just having more shots on goal.

Given this quote, I feel like the title needs to be qualified really heavily, it's looking at a very specific type of talent for a very specific type of situation.
As a developer myself, I'd rather be in a union before companies start collectively fucking developers over.

And I think it makes more sense to join a union preemptively, while things are in our favor, than to join a union in the future, possibly from a position of weakness.

The problem is, of course, every developer thinks they're a 10x rockstar who doesn't need a union.

The main problem I see with the quire idea is that John tries to use it as an argument that fma isn't necessary, and while a quire is strictly more useful, you won't be able to use multiple of them at the same time (due to hardware constraints). For applications taking dot products, this isn't a problem, but for fast evaluation of polynomials, interleaving multiple fmas is essential for good performance. As such, I think that quires are probably a really good idea for 8 and 16 bit posits, but for 32 and 64 bit, I think having an fma instruction is pretty much necessary.
That's exactly my point. DeepMind has an idea of what a cat is based on its experiences, just as you or I do. Each of our models are woefully incomplete, based on very limited sensory information. These models all disagree with each other and reality to various degrees.

There exist many things many humans have lumped together under a single label such as "cat". Those categories are all wrong, but sometimes they're useful. Machines can also get in on the fun, just as well as humans, as you point out. There's no magic there, humans aren't special.
What happened in 2012?
They probably enjoy it. Being a CEO or whatever doesn't look like sitting in a cubicle all damn day. Even the latter's much better if you know you have the money to quit whenever you feel like it. That alone makes a big difference, but they also have a lot more say in how they spend their time, and do completely different stuff.

Making the big calls, having people who'll go do all kinds of stuff when you ask them to, meeting and hanging out with other important people, et c., probably feels awesome, and if you've got enough money socked away to never need to work again, all the "risk" is as real as playing poker with pennies.

That's the wrong baseline to use. Their total profit for 2021 was $33B. Most of their sales revenue is going to be low margin, whereas ads will be very high margin.

Moreover, it's not clear that the two revenue sources are in competition. Advertising generally boosts demand. So it's possible that they win twice with ads: once for getting you to click on it and once when you buy the product. And given that the purpose of ads is to distort normal market outcomes, maybe they get even more when you come back and buy the right thing.
