There weren't necessarily 6 levels of hierarchy (below the L6 staff). It's almost certainly for hiring purposes - to tell hires that their role is similar to that of a Staff Software Engineer at Google (i.e., L6). Like many things in tech, other companies tend to base their leveling system after Google, and you can literally put companies side by side on https://levels.fyi to compare per-level compensation at different companies.
How to handle assertions that UX research is not real research (2019)
Fedora now has a sensible UEFI boot setup
In 1817, almost a hundred years before WW1, the period you mentioned, less than nine years after the invention of canning, one of the biggest employers in the world was using canning. I trust you can look at the rest of the article to see it got a lot now popular well before WW1.

> Large-scale wars in the nineteenth century, such as the Crimean War, American Civil War, and Franco-Prussian War, introduced increasing numbers of working-class men to canned food, and allowed canning companies to expand their businesses to meet military demands for non-perishable food, enabling companies to manufacture in bulk and sell to wider civilian markets after wars ended. Urban populations in Victorian Britain demanded ever-increasing quantities of cheap, varied, quality food that they could keep at home without having to go shopping daily. In response, companies such as Underwood, Nestlé, Heinz, and others provided quality canned food for sale to working class city-dwellers.
Exactly.

Also, the OP refers to the Mona Lisa as an example.

Ironically, the Mona Lisa gained global fame because of its theft from the Louvre in 1911 by Vincenzo Peruggia: the very man who had helped construct the panel's glass casing.

As a patriot, Peruggia believed that the panel belonged to an Italian museum. After two years of hiding the painting in his apartment, he grew impatient. He got caught trying to sell it of to the director of the Uffizi in Florence. The Mona Lisa returned to Paris in 1914.

Given the longevity of heritage institutions, theft or objects going missing is never a question of "if it will happen", but "when it will happen". Even with the best of systems in place, you can't rule out human error, or intentions.

Finally, deaccessioning is a vital part of policies. Museums do auction off objects for various reasons e.g. because they are duplicative or not relevant or complementary anymore to the mission of the museum and its collection.

... and in some cases, they are forced to sell of objects in order to cover the bills. The Pandemic has added such pressures to many institutions, including the Met:

Yeah, building anything became rich man game everywhere.
Building materials prices are getting crazy all over the place (in my country price of some of them doubled or event tripled over last two years).

But I like to tell myself that maybe, just maybe, it's not like the world owes me a possibility to have house. And maybe I don't even need or should have one. Its just my greed that pushes me towards having more stuff (and thus need more space to keep it).
Blood only shows current exposure though. It's like trying to gauge what stuff a country has by looking at highway traffic. The levels will only be very small at any point anyway, the problem is long-term accumulation. Couple that with the problem in medicine that exactly that, long-term exposure to tiny amounts, is barely understood, and knowledge of toxins is mostly about large amounts at a time. The long-term-low-levels are also extremely hard to disentangle from everything else, it's background noise, and anything that happens slowly in a body needs to be separated from natural deterioration because of aging, a very tough nut to crack for research.

Just get an Ascaso Steel, it's a far better machine anyway :) It was a significant upgrade from my Vibiemme Domobar, which already was a significant upgrade from the Silvia. Not just espresso quality, there the upgrade (from the Domobar) is mostly greater consistency and the ease of getting the best outcome with less experimenting, it also uses significantly less resources - much less energy and also much less water. The only small complaint I had was that I had to keep my finger on the activation switch because I find the automatic flow-control useless (too inaccurate), until somebody pointed out I could program it to measure a huge amount of water that I would never reach in practice and then I could use it as on/off switch for drawing the espresso.

I don't like maybes, but that approach (letting the Germans try and sink their fleet) sounds risky. Because the invasion could work. And it's not that the German surface fleet played big role in WW2 anyway.

The Battle of Britain showed, so, that Germany called of the invasion once it was clear that air supremacy was not going to be achieved. Which meant that the Royal Navy wouldn't be neutralized to the point of allowing enough of the invasion force to actually cross the channel. The same holds, to an extend, true for China and Taiwan. Without air supremacy China cannot be sure to get enough ground forces across the straight to establish a sustainable beach head. They fail to do that and they lost.
Totally agree. Functions should never accept an object reference or another function as a parameter when the necessary information could be provided directly as data (where "data" means C structs without pointers, protobuf, JSON, ...). Even code that mutates its arguments is easy to test if it's all simple data.
Evolution can't be tested like this, imo. You can't reason about what where it will lead and assume that this is where it's leading.
I have the same licensing model in Lunar (https://lunar.fyi/)
You buy the app as is now, and you get to keep this version of the app forever. Just like you would buy any other good.

On top of that, you also get 1 year of free updates, and you get to keep using those new versions forever as well.

Why should the developer work forever for you on a meager $25 payment?

> caused by poor credit quality of some home buyers

Small detail but the wording here implies a causation, that it was the home buyers who were the makers of the crisis.

Whereas we now have ample evidence that it was the real estate companies and mortgage lenders who when faced with free money, became predatorial of people who had no capacity or understanding of the financials of becoming a home owner.

We can always argue that these were adults who have taken their decisions but again many of these people were promised pie in the sky and they believed it.
You seem to be describing hosting your own service, changing the underlying hosting provider, and tying your identity to ICANN DNS.

There are two separate things here, identity portability and data portability. If your identity is portable (say a key pair) but the service hosting the data goes down and you don't have a backup or there's no way to import the data to a new provider then you've got a problem. Similarly, if the service goes down and you do have a backup of your data and a way to import it to a new provider but your identity isn't portable (perhaps it was user@domain and you don't own the domain) you also have a problem in that case but it's a different problem.

And neither data nor identity is the same as account, at least the way I was using the words.

That's a great video, and I agree with the points made - essentially that affordability is mostly a supply problem. That said, I don't think your parent was blaming foreigners, but just noting that even if foreign buyers made up a small percentage of the total, reducing that demand could still impact prices.

I mean honestly, Cloudflare probably gets a large chunk of your actual browsing traffic too. Giving them access to my DNS queries seems a pretty low concern to me.
I think this post was a trick question that you have in exams. The sentiment in this thread is negative (at the point in time I am posting). You can say whatever you want, they ended up raising a lot of capital from well known VC firms [1] and has few of the smartest guys working there. Does that mean the org is legit, I don't know. Does that mean their claims are valid, I don't know. Jumping into a negative conclusion without doing a proper due diligence is something I am seeing lately.

Criticism is different from downright pessimism. I know founders and entrepreneur should have thick skin, but few people who could be potential customers or investors take these threads and the sentiments in hacker news as grain of salt.

On the plugin API, meh. I've spent a lot of time making Vim work for me over the years, adding all sort of plugins etc. Would that time have been better spent using something that was complete & worked already?

The answer is technically no, because I've used more than two languages in that time, more like 25 different dev environments I needed my editor to cater to. If you're only using one language, this is great. Everyone has better things to do than the meta-work of making a dev environment. For most people the dev environment is noise that gets them no closer to actually achieving something. Not having a plugin API means it's impossible to waste your time on that.

If this is a yearly subscription, and you can request features / improvements, then you should think of it as "I've got a guy (girl/etc) in Canada who handles my dev environment for me".

I don't mind venting at all, but don't agree.

> This adds a mental load which is -- as clearly visible from above -- is totally unnecessary

For numbers in Typescript you basically have a number type (there is also that story about BigInt, but...) - this is as good as Rusts f64

In Rust you have:
u8, u16, u32, u64, u128,
i8, i16, i32, i64, i128,
f32, f64

Sure, you could have some kind of alias number = f64 - but why?
Rust and Typescript have different uses.

For the web, number (f64) is good enough.
If you do system programming then you need some options.
The AGPLv3 is the most terrifying open source license of them all so I fail to see how a creator having the intention of not wanting others to sell their code is any kind of divergence from that general feeling. Not a whole lot to sponge off.

A small note - This podcast with Amanda Litman of "Run For Something" was inspiring for me. I know you aspired to make big change. But I wonder if running for a local political office would help scratch that itch? Those roles have direct impact on the lives of your neighbors, and don't have to be full-time gigs. There's whole orgs that provide resources to help make it happen.

This is a recurring theme with Linux, because guess what, many companies want nothing to do with desktop Linux, for better or for worse.

So you'll have to do their job for them, as a side gig.

Ahh I see, that is unfortunate. Please don't take this as all around advice as I'm not sure what your relationship is like with this coworker, but here's what I can imagine doing in this situation:

I'd reach out in Slack DM (or whatever method of daily communication is commonly used) and ask: "Hey, was just reviewing on your PR (it's looking great) and noticed some familiar code from [name of source]. Do you know if we need to include attribution for these parts to be safe? [Link]"

It opens the conversation with a "casual" question - asking for advice, even - rather than a straight up accusation. The "it's looking great part" is likely unnecessary, I just have a habit of trying to throw in something good to start on a more positive note. It does ignore whatever claims have been made about writing the code that was taken, but perhaps it's not necessary to bring that up at all to start with, essentially giving this person an out to correct the mistake. With it now being clear that these things do get noticed, I'd think it's likely to not happen again.

But like I said, not sure if this is an appropriate approach for your specific situation.
Among other explanations that are just as true, corruption had to be mentioned. Russian officers are ridiculously badly paid and not respected on the society, and they certainly didn't anticipate a large war that would catch them with their pants down.
The best source is usually authors' websites. You can find a free copy of just about any modern CS paper by googling its title in quotes with "filetype:pdf".
Right. Every new property bought by an investor is another rental property. As these are added, it will reduce rents, which makes renting more attractive compared to owning, as well as making rental properties less attractive to investors. On the margin these will reduce demand for properties to purchase, bringing down prices.

People didn’t forget. That’s been thoroughly debunked by (art) historians. Society changed so art changed with it. Thinking that realism is the pinnacle of art is just a cultural point of view. Medieval art worked with completely different ideas, so it makes no sense to compare it with Renaissance art.

If you look at modern art it would be easy to think that 21st century artist had absolutely no clue how to depict nature, even though it’s clear it’s a stylistic choice to create such works.
I think the odds are considerably higher, if you include the option of selecting against IQ limiting traits, such as Down's Syndrome.
> Instead of describing the world in terms of trajectories, initial conditions and dynamical laws, in constructor theory laws are about which physical transformations are possible and which are impossible, and why.

When I was a researcher, I was very interested in a conjecture that the existence of a class of reversible dynamics was enough to derive all of quantum theory. Colleagues and I published a result or two along these lines e.g. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1367-2630/17/12/1...

This sounds similar although much broader perhaps.
> Native. Fast. Lightweight.

Comparison is missing editors that would compete with this. VS Code is huge and slow, but somehow people use it and love the extensibility and broad support. Goland is just a beast that does so much more it's not even in the same league.

What would make sense in the comparison chart is something like ST3.
> The only situation I can think of that validates that is if something ended up in a commit that definitely should not, like auth credentials.

Even then, you can't unleak auth credentials so you will need to change them anyway. Then leaving the commit, while embarrasing, is no longer an actual issue.

I'm really waiting to see the impact of this WFH when you cannot contact people and projects are delayed because there is noone there to talk to and take a decision.
A side effect of growing wisdom and your ability of predicting how world and other people move is that you tend to get to the point, taking shortcut and skip all the less meaningful details. This might be related to why you felt less driven to put effort on trying things, especially those require tedious attention as you feel you've already known what it would be.

This definitely have something to do with how the brain is wired after years of experiencing and learning. Not necessarily a result of aging.

I'm using KDE5 at the moment, and it's essentially problem-free. It's got more features than I know what to do with, but this somehow doesn't detract from it but rather enhances it.

KDE5 never seems to be the default choice of desktop environment for distros like Manjaro, but you're unlikely to go wrong picking it as your default option, if you're given that option.
That's very interesting way of looking at it - we do not need to fully automate cars to put millions people out of work. If we just create automated assistants (similar to plane autopilots) that takes care of 80% of work we can then create remote driving centers for people (drone pilots) that take over when thinks go wrong.
Add some specialized road patrols to handle the on ground problems (changing tires) and driving truck as a job will go from one of the most popular jobs to an outlier.

Curiosity is a trait and belief, absolutely independent of aging. As the saying, the more you know the more you know what you don't know.

However, gaining the ability of being curiosity is something only can be trained in young age.

There is a huge propaganda against boomer going on right now, as the youth joked, covid is the boomer remover. However, contrary to the claim, it's not a biological difference rather a result of generational ideology. People like Steve Jobs however few, despite age as a boomer many would agree he's still a way smarter and innovative person than most millennium.

What's really driving the anti-boomer movement is the wealth gap in society. Let's say just leave to it if you don't want to dig it.

- Meetings are remote first. If at least one person is remote then the whole team video calls in. There is nothing worse than being a person on the virtual end trying to understand a mic grabbing voice from a room full of people.

- Schedule peer programming sessions, especially with less senior staff. Without the office environment they have less opportunities to grow.

- All meetings should have a note listing all decisions made.

- Promote async communication. Have people describe a problem instead of saying hi and waiting for a reply.

I dont know about yakuza specifically.

But in general, this is not true or at least not true everywhere. Our local mafias and "black market" were not desperate people. They were people seeing opportunities and taking advantage of them to the max. Some of them generated desperate people among their victims, sure. But, those rarely turned into bosses or gang members.

Most of what they did were choices and not a result of "not having any other choice".
> We need this if we want to keep communicating and exchanging ideas with strangers online.

I disagree. There are indeed a few cases where you can't initially be certain that you're interacting with a human but sustained interactions over a long enough period of time solve that. So the only time we would "need" such a approach is for people to know that something written by a total stranger was written by a human. But you should be getting to know people and not trusting complete strangers anyway!

Even then it doesn't actually solve anything. Paid actors can still post things in an attempt to influence complete strangers. This is exactly what happens right now. So you'll know the paid actor is a human. Or at least paid off a human to provide access to one of their online identities. Great.

So it's a knee jerk response to scary new ml but the ml isn't actually that scary once you think about it and the proposed response doesn't actually solve the supposed issue or any other current problems and it erodes our freedoms in the process.
You don't pay increasing property tax as the value appreciates. Property taxes on average increase with inflation, not with house prices. Only if your property appreciates more quickly than others do you end up paying more.
> Just like you would buy any other good.

Software is not a "good". If you bought "go ide" a year+ ago and your updates ran out, you can throw it away now.

> On top of that, you also get 1 year of free updates

They are not free, you subscribed to them by paying the subscription. What is free is the copy of the software after your subscription ends.

> How is this a subscription?

It's a subscription because the product you buy is supported for one year.

> Why should the developer work forever for you on a meager $25 payment?

This is irrelevant to the topic at hand.

FWIW, I think it's a good model, for both user and the developer, but I would not try to pretend it's not a subscription with a big bold text. Just avoid the word and all is good.
