The name "Neverland" is new to me, but I remember that place of limbo well. Assuming the tranny is in good order, there's a firm spring detent that generally saves the driver from 1->R upshift failures.

The 1->4 mistake OTOH, having drifted a little too far right in Neverland, was easily fallen into, and the shuddering deceleration that follows may have been the cause of a few rear-end collisions over the years.
Seems like someone really bad at his job. Unions in the US are much much weaker making it easier for companies to undermine them. Also there is more of an anti union attitude among US empoyers and sometimes illegal union busting techniques/consultants are much more developed. And to top it off the laws and politics are much worse for unions, some conservative Governors have said that they would rather not have good autoworker jobs if they are unionized
It's not that simple; Donenfeld wants to replace the whole LRNG with a new engine that uses simpler, more modern, and more secure/easier-to-analyze cryptography, and one of the roadblocks there is that swapping out the engine risks breaking bugs that userland relies on.

Unions of professional athletes are some of the most successful unions in the US. These are people that are highly paid and have very specific skills that can't easily be replaced. These are people who already spend as much as 15% or 20% of their salary paying others to negotiate on their personal behalf. Yet these athletes still want a union to represent them as a collective class.

I don't know if the general software developer really needs a union. Some niches certainly do. Game developers are the obvious example of a group of workers who are treated worse than people with comparable skills who do comparable work in other industries. But the idea that we don't need a union because we are already paid well, we are skilled, or we can negotiate for ourselves is naive. Anytime an industry is as wildly profitable as the tech industry is, workers can benefit from a union.
> Does anyone really think Amazon is the world's "most customer-centric company" now?

Absolutely, their customer support is stellar, across countries.

The problem of fake reviews and junk products is indeed a real problem. But I would argue that this by itself doesn't imply that Amazon doesn't care about it's customers, rather that it is a general problem that's largely unsolved in most (BIG) online marketplaces where manual curation of inventory is not feasible due to scale.
that was my basic impression. I drove an '89? Izuzu and a '85? Mitsubishi as my first two cars in the mid '00s; they were pretty "just works" too, barring some repairs. Nothing this crotchety.

I now drive a '21 Camry and man, it's just nice. Things work. I mean, I don't mind pulling things apart, but it's like, do I really want to run Gentoo constantly if I don't budget 4-6 hours/mo to maintain it? (no)
This is simple virtue signaling meant to soften Apple’s image and remind you what a hip, cool company they are. They consider it part of their marketing budget.
Half the troubleshooting is being able to recognize and describe the problem in such a way that you can search for the solution. Knowing what "sluggish acceleration" is vs "RPM limited at 3k" vs "cold-start no power" is half the battle.

YouTube is substantially better than the old Chilton manuals and arguably some better than the manufacturer repair manuals (many of which assume you have an entire dealer shop's worth of tools). A number of videos (and even some of the Chilton manuals) will have variations on the process that either avoid the specialized tool (at perhaps a bit longer of a process) or a workaround that greatly simplifies the process.
I think most people who are making counterarguments to Mearsheimer et al are not ignoring or dismissing realism, they are pointing out the limitations and flaws with its predictive powers and usefulness for determining 'optimal' policies.

> People want realism to be a theory of how the world actually works, a theory of how the world should work, and a theory of what should we do given how the world works, all at the same time.

In terms of presenting an accurate model realism is only as good as the analysis you put into it, and unless you have a very advanced computer simulation of the world you can't test these models for what exactly will happen and when. Sometimes your prediction will be reasonably accurate and sometimes it won't, and hindsight bias will play tricks.

And as for its usefulness for deciding what we should do there seems to be little provision for the role of ideology, ethics, a sense of honour etc, i.e. what kind of world people would like to live in. Those factors are critical not just for making a model of current and future realities, but are of course essential for figuring out how we want to shape our world. A purely utilitarian view just aiming to minimise war and death might permit a more highly autocratic and repressive world, which could be at odds with many people's view of meaning and personal or collective destiny. An example of such a destiny would be the Ukrainian people's desire to live in a democractic Western-aligned state, and the West's desire to support them in this goal.
>unionization at an Amazon facility is more than symbolic: It will encourage -- and serve as a blueprint for -- employees at other Amazon facilities to do the same.

It really depends on how things play out. E.g. what the extra union dues' payments will be in relation to the extra benefits received from union representation. Or maybe Amazon responds with a "business decision" to close JFK8 fulfillment center.

So it can have the opposite effect. The strong union at the Boeing factory in Seattle WA negatively influenced the Boeing workers in South Carolina. The SC workers voted in 3 different elections to reject the union. The last voting count was 74% against the union.

We have to wait and see what the union can "win" from Amazon.

They don't actually have to be followed.

There is a social contract: if I don't follow them then the gov can do X. But, of course, I may be happy with that trade-off if the expected value of my actions are positive. That is: payoff > probCaught * personalUtilityOfJail + (1 - probCaught) * personalUtilityOfBreakingLaw.
lld is not 100% compatible with ld; switching to it usually works, but occasionally breaks the build of some software. That's especially true for complex cases involving linker scripts and unusual binary layouts with various sections. (Those cases also tend to be hard to debug.)
I’ve never really understood how so many people could come to the conclusion that the 5K iMac was too low. An ideal ergonomic screen height is the top of the screen 5 to 10 cm above eye level, and I’ve always wondered what kind of desk setups people have where it ends up way below that to the point that it needs raising. If anything the 5K iMac was a few cm too tall, and it is a good thing the studio display is lower.
No, this is automotive journalism from a company that also sells automotive insurance. They are an excellent automotive journalism outfit. If you had any actual interest in cars you would know this. If you don't - maybe move on and read something else.
Yes, and this is after Amazon personally contested a large percentage of the ballots, and after past events like them making fake drop boxes that allegedly led to failed votes in previous amazon unionization situations.
My old personal Debian derivative, Door Linux (because Windows are for bugs), used the Win key for all non-application shortcuts, save Alt-Tab because that is just too familiar though Win-Tab would also work. Some examples are Win-1 for English, Win-2 for your second language, etc. Win-[ for Volume Down and Win-] for volume up. Win-L for lock screen, Win-F2 and Win-F12 both would open Krunner.

I started configuring these shortcuts due to the powerful and plentiful shortcuts in Jetbrains IDE, which always seemed to be masked by some KDE default shortcut or another.
I think a more accurate point would be that employers force new employees to get worse benifits to undermine the union
Redis shines at latency and I don’t see any benchmarks. Ofcourse Skytable throughput will be higher cos it’s multithreaded. I don’t think this is a fair benchmark
I'm sorry, but under the new rules you are now guilty of a hate crime for saying this.
Fun fact: the torque converter was invented a few years before the automatic transmission - and some cars were sold with a manual transmission and a torque converter. With only two or three forward gears, they found most of the customers would leave the car in the top gear and just accelerate slowly ...
The vaccine doesn’t make claims - let’s not anthropomorphize it. The drug companies, public policy authorities, and politicians make claims.

Here’s a link from Pfizer themselves talking about the vaccine *preventing* COVID infection, not just severe symptoms. This is basic Google stuff. https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-deta...

Shall we move on to the talking heads from public health institutions and the politicians? I mean, examples abound and this would be a lay-up. Google is your friend here.

But how can you be unaware of these claims after two years of drama over them in the global public square? Vaccine mandate propositions were largely predicated on the inflated expectations of efficacy - people lost their livelihoods over this. We’re not talking about flippant one-off statements here, but the confidence and endorsement that moves government and corporate policy.
lld is good, but you answered why in your own comment: it's not always compatible, and so when you need ld, you need ld.
Pretty sure OP is confused by the concept of "first win" being the object of the first clause. It feels clunky if you don't read your English like you would read algebra.
The Ferrari V6/V8 cars from the 206 Dino through the 328 have that pattern, but they switched to a standard shift pattern in the 348. You can't accidentally shift into reverse though, as the metal shift gate has a stop on it. You have to push down to get past the stop and into reverse.
If someone calls from the bank, take their name and purpose for calling, hang up and call the bank yourself.
I mean just think it through though: you are right, but if they are all arbitrary, then it is up to people/us to care about how language is used. If it was otherwise, than all those who resist modifying their language could just appeal to the universal/set-in-stone structures of a language mapping onto a reality. Rather, what we have is language as a kind of spontaneous activity, where we can inquire and question about it, perhaps try to change some things to more closely map onto a better world.

Also more historically: structuralism is very much the intellectual tradition from which this kind of discourse ultimately comes from, whether you like it or not. And Saussure is widely considered the "founder" of it.

People arent trying to steal your computer, but people on here are very worried about someone stealing their manhood or whatever, and that is silly.
I think it has more to do with politics. Conservative SC politicians have made it clear that they would rather not have good jobs if they are unionized, they don't wont workers getting ideas
Yeah that definitely sounds like it was related to the baptism-by-proxy. There are other ordinances in the temple that are also done by proxy for the deceased which is why they phrased it like "registering ordinances".

It sounds like a distant relative of yours saw your contributions and assumed your were Mormon and wanted to make sure you had the chance to be the proxy for your ancestor before another relative did it for you. That's not required, it was just a common courtesy.

For clarity: I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). I've also done development work on sites that used the FamilySearch API, I've served as an "ordinance worker" in the temple, and have done some of my own family history work on FamilySearch.

In all honesty, I think many of the concepts that we saw in early Java deserve to get another chance in a more language-agnostic ecosystem. I never did a lot of EJB, but CORBA/DCOM are definitely part of the inspiration for what Bytecode Alliance is doing with WebAssembly components.

Java sometimes gets a bad wrap (and so does .NET). Both ecosystems are full of amazing tooling and well-thought-out concepts. I think it's a great idea to look through these landscapes and ask, "Would these features be good additions to the WebAssembly ecosystem?"
I definitively agree with you. In favor of the article one could say: The initial statement was basically that something got successful by ignoring "conventional trends of the genre" and the article is about Elden Ring. So the overall statement stays correct, but some context could (should?) have been provided, because things have been done before or originated somewhere else.

Sure, but there's no guarantee they'll do that in every case or at every employer. Here there was a smoking gun, so the government could easily act on it; do you think that'd be the case for everyone in our field?
In that same section, the blog describes the behavior of 'go install foo@latest' and contrasts it to how the default install "in some ecosystems bypass pinning."

That is also a difference in default behavior between Go and Cargo.

To install a 'foo' binary, 'go install foo@latest' gives you the latest version of foo, but the direct and indirect dependencies used are the versions listed in foo's go.mod or a dependency’s go.mod file (and not whatever the latest versions of those direct and indirect dependencies might be at the moment the install is invoked).

'cargo install foo' supports the optional --locked flag, but its not the default behavior: [1]

> By default, the Cargo.lock file that is included with the package will be ignored. This means that Cargo will recompute which versions of dependencies to use, possibly using newer versions that have been released since the package was published. The --locked flag can be used to force Cargo to use the packaged Cargo.lock file if it is available.

There are definitely pros and cons here, but to my knowledge it is not "just NPM" that is being contrasted in the blog.

Finally, I'm no world-class Rust expert, but I like using Cargo. I think Cargo is a fantastic tool that set the bar for package mangers, and it has done great things for the Rust community. But it is easier for communities to learn from each other with a base understanding of where & why different choices have been made, which is part of what is behind some of my comments around Go's behavior. ;-)

The only known effect of microwaves is heating which is purely based on power hence why we cook food with them. They are also good at transmitting information quickly so we also use them at 4 orders of magnitude lower power in your cellphone. Its does heat the side of your head up a tiny bit about the same as if you held a small flashing LED light up to it.

So yes microwaves are indeed known to be safe at cell/wifi power levels unless you have data that shows otherwise then we need to figure how it causes damage in a non-thermal way.
>Everyone loves unions, somehow they overlook the outrageous power of police unions to keep terrible people in their ranks.

Unions represent their members' interests, that's the entire point of unions. It says more about the entire profession of policing (i.e. that there are so many terrible officers that the not-terrible ones can't do anything about them) than it does about unions, to be honest.
See we solved this by filing the missing feature as a highest priority bug. Everyone's happy and it's Agile. Or Algae. I forget which.
This isn't really the case.

Monitors tend to have three categories, 1080 rows, 1440 rows, and 4k columns (which is actually 3840 x 2160)

Shopping for monitors will find a fair balance of each and a few outliers. Vertical lines reported for 1080 and 1440 because there are quite a few aspect ratio options which will have varying numbers of pixel columns.
There's a difference between "I don't want to join because I don't want to pay these dues (and I still get all the benefits)" and "I don't want to join because I disagree with them and they don't represent me, and I don't want them to purport to speak for me (and thus I also don't want to pay them to do so)".

The former is indeed a prisoner's dilemma. The latter is a valid complaint and an entirely valid thing to want. And the only answer I've ever seen given is "well then get involved and try to steer it in a direction you care about", with no allowance for people who don't agree with the direction it has taken and don't want to spend their whole career struggling (likely unsuccessfully) to change it.

I think collective bargaining is a powerful and useful tool, that in isolation, more people would likely support. I think it's unfortunate that that tool has lost a lot of its power, in part because it comes along with structures and assumptions that many people do not share.

As one of many examples: people often complain that a union shop values duration of tenure more than experience or skill, and devalues the latter because it's easy to objectively measure duration of tenure. I've seen people say "well, if you form a union, it doesn't have to work that way"; that's always spoken from the point of view of the people who put together or maintain the union. But that doesn't do any good if you weren't involved with the initial setup, and you're just faced with how it currently works. If you push for something else, you're tilting at a very large windmill. And it's valid for someone to say "I'd like to have collective bargaining, but if it's going to do something tenure-based then on balance I'd rather reject it".

The ability to individually choose to join or not isn't just a simple prisoner's dilemma where defecting is a loss; it's also something that gives actual teeth to a requirement to be representative of employees, if an employee believes they'd be better off with no representation other than themselves than they would with the current representation. That would have to be a pretty serious level of failure, if an employee believes that membership has negative value to them.

Conversely, it might also resolve the prisoner's dilemma problem if negotiated benefits were tied to union membership. While some negotiated benefits (e.g. working conditions) are inherently available to everyone, others (e.g. policies, vacation time, pay structure) may be such that they could be offered to those who are a member of the organization that bargained for them.

Multi-employer pension plans are usually governed by a board of trustees. Depends on the plan but typically labor and management share power equally (broadly speaking).

And yeah, pensions, healthcare are all part of collective bargaining. Do you control the healthcare plan where you work? I assume it's part of negotiating the terms of your employment, so you could always ask for a really good one.

It means that negative results for existing phones tells you literally nothing about effects of 5G phones. We are embarking on another very large-scale experiment on the general public, whose consequences will not be known for, most likely, decades, unless any harm is actually very large.

Assuming it is not a novel deadly cocktail makes exactly as much sense as assuming it is one. We are in a condition of total ignorance, and have done nothing to reduce that ignorance.
We've known the basic physics answer to this for ages

What is the authorative physics answer which proves this goes one way or another, applied to cell biology, in the human head?
Hm, in my experience, even in a union context, healthcare was supplied by the employer, it was just negotiated in the contract. I'm not sure why that would make a US union much more expensive.

Typically, you don't really get unions with dues unless they've managed to get a contract with a wage increase that covers the dues.
A good portion of that wealth came from stealing good land and forcing people to work as slaves.

Not the most capitalistic wealth creation
I disagree with restrictions on speech for the following reason:

- If you limit what people are allowed to write or say, you are effectively limiting what others are allowed to read or hear.

- Censorship means delegating a censor.

- That censor would then be able to determine what I am allowed to read or hear. There is nobody I trust besides myself to do that. I definitely don't trust any government body to do that.

Also if you're going to enforce laws against racist speech dispassionately, you will ban every major religious text. The Torah, Bible, and Qur'an have parts that advocate for all kinds of racist, sexist, homophobic, and generally terrible behavior. The UK government doesn't try to censor these books, so it's obvious that their censorship laws are simply a way for law enforcement to persecute people they dislike.

I would argue private company unions are fundamentally different from public unions like police and teachers whose roles are guaranteed by law.
Amazon is on a customer-centric decline. One example of that is the amazon app now requires that you accept product advertisement notification spam if you want to be hooked to AmazonSmile.
