> Quitting your job and getting a new one seems to just be a stop-gap.

Yeah, well, as it turns out you can construct a career of “stop-gaps”.

I don’t think this is a problem to be solved. It’s a siren screaming in your ear telling you to focus on other matters. There’s more to life than our dumb tech jobs, it’s ok to recognize that and act accordingly.

The stop-gaps help with the fact that you won’t/don’t/can’t really care. When you can’t appropriately keep up the charade, they artificially inflate your interest once again.

Honestly, as a European going to the us, it was shocking how bad the train system is. But I get it, places in the us are too far spread apart, so that it is more difficult to connect them.

If there are airport like security checks, even less people will use it. Good for the freight trains though, since they'll have the tracks to themselves.

I can't really comment on the article, since it bans EU visitors, but judging by comments here, I'm afraid the system will only get worse.
He's a thinker.

Just not a deep one.

He addresses topics just enough to scratch the itch he wants to scratch without putting any meaningful thought into them, which is why his essays are so easy to discard. Sure, they work for like-minded people who want to drink from the tap of the successful businessman stereotype, but they're usually not useful whenever he strays from talking about business.
I appreciate your commitment on this issue.
That study failed to split non-drinkers from those that quit drinking.

Agreed. You can get to it through Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Hide My Email, but it’s a pain to navigate.

Extreme majority of Iraqis dead were at hands of other Iraqis.
So I was mainly a Haskell programmer in grad school before getting into scientific computing, and the main good habit I picked up was working at the REPL and breaking my code up into small, testable functions/components, and thinking very hard about state. The main bad habit I had was expecting the Julia compiler to be as helpful as GHC when refactoring code.

While I was writing my thesis and job hunting, I attended a few workshops aimed at “grad students breaking into industry”. The main thing I noticed from applied mathematics students in particular was they would write out long functions (really hard to debug) or they worked exclusively in Jupyter notebooks (these have super complicated state, so it takes a lot of discipline to be able to translate these into usable code).
Honestly Django or Rails with a few ‘Top 10 Performance Optimizations’ blog tips will get you most of the way there - certainly beyond proof of market fit and an initial investment round or two. Stick it in a docker container on ECS and configure it to have two instances with a load balancer for redundancies/upgrades. I worked for a startup that got acquired with literally just this style of stack and two or three engineers.
This doesn't seem like a bug in rustc at all. Maybe just by emitting bad IR. But this is actually bug in LLVM.

Dots are useful to create new accounts on the same site, but you can’t use it to just tell websites apart (because there’s no label)
In my not-so-humble opinion, it is ZTC++ that cemented C++ as the leading OOP successor to C. Before ZTC++, ObjectiveC and C++ were neck and neck (judging by traffic on newsgroups). Borland and Microsoft were both investigating their own C-derived OOP languages.

ZTC++ came out, and a ton of magazine articles came out about C++ using Zortech C++. ObjectiveC fell away, and most of the C++ programming was in ZTC++.
A lot of them had very positive results, like Korean War or Kosovo.
It's really important we have that 3 in 70 chance the TSA catches someone trying to get a bomb onboard a plane! Airport security isn't about preventing loss of life. It's about keeping the passenger airline industry alive.

Biden is famously pro-rail and I think this is just a way of killing off rail before he has a chance to fund a bunch of construction and equipment. Which is sad, because our federal highway system is crumbling in decay because we way, way overbuilt it.

It's all moot. No matter how much security there is, no matter how badly intelligence services or political leaders fuck up (in the case of 9/11, it was political leadership. In the case of the Boston Marathon bombing, it was intelligence), they'll just shout that they need more surveillance, more security measures, more rules. Nobody will ever say "no, you intelligence people need to do your job properly."
Not necessarily: gendarmerie are common throughout the world. Not that it matters, the power to arrest, use legitimate force, even 'kill and get away with it' distinguishes them from common citizens already.

Picking the one you want to believe is not science and is how we arrived to a place where the meaning of "fact" is not shared. There is a lot of bad science out there, so picking the one you want to believe is akin to saying find any flawed study and choose to believe that over anything else (which is a shame if the person does not realize the flaws in the study, that would seem to be little more than corporate manipulation)
I write (and receive) a lot of email-sized messages, and email / phone are pretty much the only ways I communicate with clients. Most client emails involve lists of features and questions which we reply to with line-by-line comments (think red/blue, quotes within quotes). To me it's more efficient and less distracting to have all my work comms in a single email thread per project than scattered across different services. I've tried doing this with shared documents and spreadsheets, but found it's a mess, because no one checks and notices when you change them, or scrolls around to find the thing you added or commented on. The issues are complicated and technical enough that chat format, especially thumb-typing, is not helpful. With email, clients usually see and respond quickly so I can get on with work. And there's a consistent paper trail to refer to. If the issue needs a discussion that's too complex for the email chain, or if they don't fully understand the options or limitations I'm describing, I call the client and hash it out, then put the result we agreed on into an email and send it to them.
Everyone crying about people being cancelled sure didn't have a lot of words to defend the Dixie Chicks when they were against the Iraq war.
maybe not quite the next version, from memory (and I ported compilers, and the kernels, for both) it was between v6 and v7 Unix
TSA at Amtrak will quickly destroy that business
Many areas in the US still don’t. I remember living on a farm as a child, circa 1998, and our neighbors had no power or running water. It wasn’t lack of wanting it, “the money just ran out.” This was the mountains of Virginia, near Roanoke.
I tried to estimate how many deaths TSA is responsible for from traffic fatalities from their employees commuting to work, thinking that maybe more people died this way than lives were saved from prevented terror attacks. Turns out driving is really safe and not many fatalities are due to TSA employees commutes.
There are smaller dumbphones than the Nokia 6300. For example the Nokia 2720 Flip is smaller wile closed. The Punkt MP02 phone is also a bit smaller. There are also credit card sized dumb phones like the LightPhone (pricey), the Kyocera KY-01L (Japan exclusive) and the Talkase (defunct). But you are right this phones like the Nokias and the Punkts are a bit thicker by around 5-7 millimeter than the MOTO F3. Looking at the phones it seems to me than it's because of design choice. The Nokias have photo capabilities (not the MOTO) and the Punkt have a reinforced plastic body.
I don't think covid was bad enough to warrant complete mobilisation of society. Climate change yes.

If anything it hurt our fight against climate change. There were some short-term benefits like reduced travel but overall it has increased inflation a lot due to the massive costs of the lockdowns. We're all a bit poorer and guess what, poor people have less to spend on climate-positive products and tend to go for the cheaper but worse options.

We should pick our battles for the ones that count.
Elo scoring two years of Magic: The Gathering games
As this compiler is written in modern C, I guess the next logical step is to write a version that can compile itself?
Interestingly, there were 3 justices that were around for both the flag burning case and Citizen's United (money-is-speech case): Scalia, Kennedy, and Stevens.

Scalia and Kennedy were in the majority (broad speech rights) in both cases and Stevens was in the minority (narrower speech rights) in both cases.

So, I guess (loosely speaking) if fire is speech, then money is speech too.

> Your Google must be broken, because all facts listed are there to find for those able and willing to see.

I could find articles on every single example. Even if I couldn’t, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Either way, if I find them or I couldn’t, would that mean that my “Google is broken”? That makes little sense.

> I know this hurts, but your blindness and bias are part of the (narrative) problem.

I must say, I do not appreciate a patronising tone coming from someone incapable of grasping basic logic reasoning.
No, but we were talking of a nightmare to society. In western societies people not able to work from home are a minority.

Most of these would not be able to work during the lockdowns either so either way it works out the same, not a positive in favour of lockdowns.
In either case dereferencing a null pointer would still be a bug, right? Or is it kind of "all bets are off" if you feed LLVM bad IR and don't enable verification?
The Adirondacks are great but I’m also a fan of the wilderness areas is Pisgah. Linville Gorge is even old growth, I believe.
>"Good" and "bad" are unhelpful, moralistic categories to gauge this kind of thing. Morals are culture- and society-specific.

What a disgusting point of view.
GCC would never compile this code. Just saying...
Judging racist insinuation from tone of voice, emphasis, and social context can definitely be valid. But I think it's really not a great idea to jump to negative conclusions about what a speaker said based primarily on the racial identity of the speaker. And making judgments primarily based on identity is what Paul is criticizing.
why?
They are using a build with assertions/etc disabled, so it segfaults rather than asserts.
When you use a build that is set not to do that, it gives you an error :)
There are many reasons outside of work performance to fire people. For example: someone who lies on their resume, then does a generally good job. That's generally a fireable offense in isolation from performance (though hopefully not as an automatic decision).

You assert that the two I named were fired from public pressure, but that looks to me like self-confirmed speculation based on what you want to believe. Were I a business employing either of those two people, I believe my own reaction would be to fire them. Not for woke reasons; they're just walking, talking disasters. Why employ assholes and idiots?

Anyway, since you mention it I do recognize more of these names, including the ones mentioned by the book you cited. They didn't come immediately to mind. But let's say James Damore is the best example in support of Paul Graham's essay (and far more nuanced and potentially sympathetic than the two I named). He argued (in part) for biological determinism, which is definitely "heresy"; and it's definitely possible to imagine a world in which that would lead to debate rather than firing.

If the essay had actually named a figure like Damore, would it have been more convincing? I can't answer for everyone but for me the answer would be: slightly more convincing, but not a great deal more. There's just a lot more to the story than "this person got fired for woke heresy", and it's not that convincing to do this kind of hand-waving simplification.
> Are there contemporary instances of conservative driven cancellations?

Colin Kaepernick is the most obvious.
Hehe, it seems I'm not that smart. It's my actualy name :-D
TSA screening in trains make much less sense than in planes. First, planes have a history of hijackings -- trains much less so. Second, TSA got implemented on planes after a very salient failure: 9/11. What's the equivalent for trains? Finally, whatever threat vector could compromise a train could do so in so many different situations: buses, commuter rail, large crowds, etc. Is TSA going to cover those next?

It's so ridiculous that I can't help but think cynically of it: either TSA is doing the bureaucratic thing of expanding as much as it can, or some really good airplane lobbyist finally got their payday.
TLS is unaffected by any government laws. What I assume OP is referencing is a law that makes end to end encryption problematic in Australia but Fastmail has never offered end to end encryption. Neither do most email providers so it doesn't matter.
They disable Email Notifications once you login on mobile automatically. Otherwise they just bundle and send them to you every 15 minutes. You can disable it in your notification preferences.

Hilarious bug though.
The degrees are more a matter of perspective than fact, though.

Christians consider Satanists the intolerant ones and vice-versa. Both can be claimed to be voluntary association, but if one isn't a choice, then neither is the other.

Every time I go to the airport I wonder how as a society we have come to tolerate this organization that treats everyone so poorly.
I have thought that through and considered putting that in my post, but I didn't want to dilute the original thought.

Of course I support the idea of "off topic", but it is something that needs a lot of consideration and however one writes such a restriction, it's liable for abuse and probably has a zillion edge cases. E.g. is it off topic if I post "<your favorite politician> hates cat videos" onto a cat video forum? What if I am a moderator with <other side> political views, and I allow those posts if they come from people that agree with me and disallow them if they come from people who agree with you? What if I divide my site into multiple sub-fora, one of which is "politics of cat videos"? What if de facto use of my forum or a sub-forum becomes political discussion, but that everyone attaches a cat video to each post?

In other words, yes, I have thought a lot about it, but this warrants its own separate discussion.

I can't comment on Xah's web page so I'll comment here about this photo of Richard Stallman at MIT dancing:

http://xahlee.info/emacs/misc/Richard_Stallman_at_MIT_dancin...

Xah asked: is this image fake? ErgoEmacs asked: it'd be interesting to know what he's holding.

That's definitely real! It's RMS, distinctly recognizable by his prancing pose. He tends to just prance in place like that all the time, while swirling his hair with his fingers.

It looks like he's in Building NE43 (545 tech square) probably on the 9th floor in the machine room of the MIT AI Lab where he slept, holding the hand of Rodney Brooks' robot "COG" in his right hand.

You did it again: you framed something like "Is Trump racist? No, this set of policies everyone says is racist isn't really racist." I don't even have to disagree with your premises to continue to find Trump's policies racist, because he did more than carefully scrutinize refugees and attempt to quell riots. (I do disagree with your premises, though).

I'm not out to get you with these observations. I don't think you're racist, or running cover for racists. I like that there are vocal conservative-leaning people around here. It's weird that you'd deploy high school debate tricks to respond to me, isn't it? If it's "sneaky lawyer trick" upthread, I apologize; I was just having fun, not trying to cast aspersions.
And you wonder why I started studying JavaScript malwares 2 years ago?
I feel like there's plenty of instances where unsafe is used in rust to indicate library level UB, without actually being memory-unsafe. (Like, where using a method in a certain way may violate a runtime assumption of a library, causing application level UB).

For example, String::from_utf8_unchecked[1]. There's a comment in the documentation trying to justify why invalid strings could cause memory unsafety, but its pretty weak:

> This function is unsafe because it does not check that the bytes passed to it are valid UTF-8. If this constraint is violated, it may cause memory unsafety issues with future users of the String, as the rest of the standard library assumes that Strings are valid UTF-8.

Like, sure, we could make that argument for any runtime invariant. "Look, this is totally memory safe but if you call this method we assume this constraint is valid. We're marking this unsafe anyway because we want people to take care in using it. So uh, its memory-unsafe because violating this constraint could cause memory unsafety issues in the future or something? Yeah that'll do."

It seems like lots of folks quietly want unsafe to mean "this method skips runtime checks", with no specific grounding in memory-unsafety. And the line between those two ideas is super blurry in practice, even in the standard library.

While they likely are subject to government scrutiny and probably will have to heel to the government in case they want them to put in backdoors or something, one small fresh company (from 2020) does not signal CCCP policy, although they probably should if they were smart start some level of manufacturing separate from Taiwan. If it were part of a push directly from the government I'd understand that but it sounds like this is unique because they are the first and currently, only, company trying to make gpus. Otherwise this is a bad reading of things, that every single Chinese company is somehow the arm of the CCCP which is way too simplistic.
Low-quality spam veeery rarely makes it to my inbox, but “opt-out newsletters after signup” are basically how every business operates nowadays. And that’s spam as far as I’m concerned.

I wasn’t really attempting to win the argument. Just wanted to point out that while we believe we are above such things, given the right motivations humans will happily kill each other over a belief.

Why stop at the 'AI's limit? We can do better than that. Keep going until a human can no longer recognise the image! (There's always a mechanical Turk to do the work.)

And why stop when the image is unrecognisable? Why not translate the image of (say) a cat into an image of the word 'cat'? And if you've done that compression, take it a step further - translate the image of the cat into the text string 'cat'. Now you're getting seriously good compression ratios :)
The idea of a train hijacking kinda made me chuckle. Some angry guy demanding the train go somewhere its tracks do not run

Not only age but tools as well. Particularly the web market is like a mono culture right now. It's not about knowing fundamental anymore. Right tools for the right job is a lie behind "you are willing learn" the wrong tools. This prevents professionals to enter as well.

When he writes about things he dislikes, his writing gets less interesting --- not in the sense that criticism and negativity is uninteresting; I enjoy a zero-star Ebert review as much as the next person, but in the sense that his actual prose style gets less interesting --- and, as the comment upthread noted, markedly more misanthropic. He doesn't seem to be having a good time writing it. I can point to things he's written where it reads like he's really enjoying himself. Maybe he's just not good at cultural criticism?

Don't let me sound like I'm psychoanalyzing the guy. I'm sure he's fine, probably saner than I am. I'm just talking about the writing.
I used to, but I'm trying not to anymore. I've seen enough instances where the top comment was either irrelevant or outright wrong about the article in question.
It’s shallow with a purpose; the evasive on details is necessary to use the vague platitudes as a vehicle for validating right-wing propaganda points without making it clear that that is what he is doing.
