Each sentence, though individually false, comes together to produce an overall point that is also false.

A lack of a disadvantage others have is a privilege. The point of calling it a privilege is to emphasize that white people benefit from racism against other groups even when they don't do anything racist themselves. Benefitting knowingly from discrimination against others while doing nothing to end it is complicity. The term "privilege" is not an attack on white people, it is an attack on racism. It absolutely does not imply that we should bring down white people or be racist to them. Privilege will end when discrimination against non-white people ends.

At least set up a monthly donation to an anti-racism organization, or something like that.

That is so comically inaccurate. Amazon made about $9B in advertising against half a trillion in revenue. That's like 2% of their revenue.
but how?
The union's members could agree to set appropriate boundaries, e.g. not defending staff who break the law.

There are two unions representing metro train drivers in London, and I have little respect for RMT since they've gone on strike to defend a driver who was sacked for turning up drunk to work[1]. The other union (ASLEF) seems more reasonable.

When an issue is important to both unions (e.g. pay for nighttime services) they wield considerable power. If only RMT strike, there's significant disruption but trains still run.

That's awesome - I'm a skilled laborer who isn't really comfortable bargaining on my own behalf. Do you mind sharing your people skills while I share my engineering skills so that we can both get a better outcome overall?
I feel like the whole genre of 'How to tell if someone will perform well' is trying to squeeze blood from stone. I've worked with a lot of different people, and the more broad my experiences become, the less I think I am able to tell who is good and who isn't.

I've worked with people who have extraordinarily high output, but slowed everyone around them down because they filled absolutely no-one in on their decisions and changes, so we were all left trying to beat the next code-base warping idea.

I've worked with people that accomplished almost nothing, but lifted morale so much that they more than made up for their lack of productivity. (I wouldn't recommend looking for this scenario though, most low-output individuals drag morale down...)

How many marriages do you think would make it 5 years down the road with only a month of knowing each other? A week? A handful of 1-hour interviews? I mean, that's the kind of time commitment you are looking at with a job.

Just filter out people who are obviously bad fits, and fire fast. The diminishing returns of trying X, Y, and Z, to me, just aren't worth it, and if you are a small company, you've got better things to dedicate brain power to.
Thanks for the article; it was a fun read. I actually had the privilege of working for a start up that was spun up in Denmark before it packed up everything and moved to the US. Because the CEO and a bunch of senior folks were Danish, they adopted what we called the Danish benefits: 6 weeks of vacation + multiple personal holidays. I miss it sorely, despite my current workplace offering "unlimited PTO" ugh.

Reading the article really reinforced how Denmark (most Scandinavian nations, actually) has a strong worker-first culture. I agree with you in that I don't ever see this scenario playing out in the US, for various reasons.

Saying that software engineers are not interchangeable is being delusional. We have some bargaining power because this is a skilled office job where the demands outweighs the supply and our added value to the business is many times what we get paid. But many SWE job hob every two years or so at best, and they absolutely get replaced without a second thought.
This is probably a good place to mention that wintab32 events currently don't work with WINE.
Why do Americans freak out on proposed government services? In the USA, we self-select ourselves into two political camps.

The first camp claims our ethnicity/race/class/region/religion/gender/identity has historically been oppressed. The most effective means to redress this injustice is by Federal government action. We want the Federal government, Washington D.C., to resolve our issues. The more government is involved, the better.

The second camp is a reaction to the first. The second camp believes the past is the past. The USA is doing just fine if stop meddling with what the Founding Fathers created. "Government is not the answer to our problems but is the cause of our problems". The less government is involved, the better.

Agree with most, especially that C-style for-loops used to be the most natural thing.

I'm more pessimistic about:

> It has only been in the last 10-20 years that the majority of working software engineers have fully recognized the difficulty of managing shared mutable state

I suspect that the number of practicing programmers who don't worry about shared mutable state is growing much faster than the number who do worry. To quote Uncle Bob: "the industry as a whole will remain dominated by novices, and exist in a state of perpetual immaturity"
That's a side effect of DBI today. It's a random and crude method today, but arguing that we we'll hit some ineffable wall that will prevent more fine-grained control is.. well let's just say that the gaps for gods grow ever smaller.
Absolute disgrace. I hope Waymo fails miserably after pulling this stunt.
When this has happened at individual Walmart stores in the past, the company would immediately shut down the store and everyone would lose their jobs. A couple years later they would build a new store within 20 or so miles of the old store, free of the union. This was obviously financially painful for Walmart, but it served as such a strong signal to employees to not even try to unionize that it must have paid for itself many times over given Walmart's thousands of stores. I wonder if Amazon has been taking notes from them on this.
Either way mass adoption of USB-C will end in e-waste.

Zadara provides an "on-prem-as-a-service" cloud storage and compute platform, among other products. There's a really interesting platform at the core and the compensation is very fair.

While I am not condoning banning speech, your examples above compile into a pretty disingenuous take. While I'm sure an example could be found if you looked hard enough, I have never once heard of anyone crying 'racist' about normal people making the normal OK hand sign innocently.

I have, however, heard the term 'racist' accurately used to describe people making an inverted OK sign when said people happen to be standing at a Proud Boys rally, or by people who otherwise spend their time hanging out with, or trolling as, white supremacists. [^1]

Same deal with milk. It's only racist when it's being used as a symbol by people who are intentionally being racist:

> "One slide Dr. Novembre has folded into his recent talks depicts a group of white nationalists chugging milk at a 2017 gathering to draw attention to a genetic trait known to be more common in white people than others — the ability to digest lactose as adults." [^2]

That doesn't mean "milk is racist", or that drinking milk is racist; it means unabashed racists seem to enjoy co-opting common symbols as code for their secret clubs.

There's some wisdom in this post but it kinda sidesteps for me one of the biggest problems I see with status seeking, which is at some point it seems to -- or at least can -- increasingly involve randomness, corruption, or increasingly unsubstantiable goals. It's like a variant of Goodhart's Law or Campbell's law, but involving randomness and invalidity in addition to corruption, and where those laws also become more important the further you go up the metric dimension.

Even putting aside the issues of value, in the sense of "should I value status in this area", there's this other issue: if you have a metric that's, say, correlated .2 or .3 with some underlying attribute, then almost by statistical definition as you start splitting hairs more and more you're splitting up more and more noise. As you chase status further and further, you're dealing with that more and more.

Maybe this is the same thing as his analogy about instability in hierarchies at some level. But if so I'm not sure the implications are followed as far as they could be.
False. Cell phones are emitting signals throughout the day, in bursts.

LEDs and light bulbs do not emit modulated microwaves. If the screen emitted substantial RF radiation, the FCC (and related agencies in other countries) would have something to say about it.
It's basically a decentralized, censorship-resistant P2P internet. The philosophy has merit, but the performance sucks and it is currently mostly a venture capitalist funded scam.
To handle direct database read by multiple micro services you can create views for the different type of authorization checks you need to do.

If schema need to change you just update the view.
Writing Architecture Documents (For Developers)
Developers at my team are more used to writing code than architecture documents, and would suffer blank page block. We wrote up this article to help them get started.
Unlike Mexico, New York City does not need to maintain its borders or enforce a monopoly on the use of force and a supreme law -- because New York City is not a Westphalian state, it is just a municipal government covering a few hundred square miles!

It is completely bonkers to have this many uniformed officers and this much money poured into security forces, and so little positive result of any of it.

The reason that comparisons to Mexico are alarming is that it plainly does not make sense for a municipal government enclosed within a large and heavily militarized state to have an army of its own! It is strange to compare a city government to a large country! It is SUPPOSED to sound strange!

People were complaining to the city council about water quality 8 months after the switch to the water source that caused high water lead levels (and were likely concerned well before that).

The lead isn't an immediate problem if the water chemistry is correctly maintained, the pipes develop scale and there isn't a lot of material being dissolved into the water. The presence of lead infrastructure of course requires that the water chemistry be correctly maintained so that it does not disturb the pipe scale.

So it can be the case that the total exposure from the problem was somewhat limited.

You said what I was trying to say a lot more succinctly.
Lots of people saying "at that pay grade you should be retired by now." I wish I would did not mention the pay grade. It wasn't always that much and not all of it is liquid income. Before I moved to silicon valley I earned low, so I guess I'm HENRY (high earner not rich yet). I can't just retire and I am not so certain that I would even want to retire as I would probably go stir crazy if there was no technology work to do.

I do appreciate your advice and your anecdote you sent. Thank you and I hope your life continues to be rich and full and memorable.

I would take some small issue with the Paul Graham quote only since it's easy for a rich person with a big (famous) identity to say that, when he is probably set for life and has no stress about money. I think that money will not buy any happiness (as the beatles famously say) but having lot of money is sure a lot less stressful than not having it. And not having stress is necessary for top level happiness. but the point is that Paul Gram's philosophy is biased by his hindsight thru the lens of being wealthy and powerful and as such not stressed about money (or influence I guess).

with apologies for bad writing, reasons
I worked with a really energetic guy a few years ago, I remember these things - he wrote code that looked sort of like this:

const antilooped = [];

const looped = [];

const looper = data.map((item) = {

if (item.nonX) {looped.push(item) }

if (item.nonY) {antilooped.push(item)}

});

then would not use half of the variables he instantiated, and probably merge looped and antilooped arrays in some weird way. Invariably debugging his code led to me just rewriting it all.

And I remember just about the first thing he asked me is if I went to prison in Jylland in Denmark and a big guy named Ole wanted to make sweet love to me would I do it or would I rather die, and then he volunteered he would rather die. This turned out to be his typical lunch time small talk.

on edit: just to be clear, he didn't use the looper array for anything.
Good work! I might just try this out in my next attempt to GTD

I’d like to suggest thinking more deeply about dates. I love that you opted to use the yyyy-mm-dd format and I also think it’s great that you’re making things flexible because life is messy.

The problem I see is this; suppose I’m in a text editor and I want to see my todos ordered by due date. This will help me see what’s coming up.

The advantage of using a yyyy-mm-dd format is that it makes things really easy to sort in reverse lexicographic order. However, with dates coming in at any point in the todo, sorting might be tricky. The week-style date format would also be tricky to sort properly.

Granted, this is an option for tools to solve! But if the primary tool is a text editor, then this might be an area that could use refinement.

Again: love the work you put into this and I also love the ergonomics! Thanks for sharing!

We had a physics teacher who thought cell phones may cause brain damage and my immediate thought was to ask him about the electron well discussion we had had previously when discussing ionizing radiation and how the mechanism for damage from cell phone waves was basically impossible. He still stuck to his concern but didn't offer up a proposed mechanism for harm.

The radio waves used for cell phones are between about 800 and 2000 Mhz. Visible light which we all know is not a concern is 490 to 790...terahertz. You don't get to ionizing radiation until you get to roughly 2400 terahertz which is roughly 10 eV.

Was very frustrating learning all that physics just for dumbasses to claim your brain was getting fried so they could sell you a sticker with a metal screen for $40 that does nothing.
