"The net effect is that my software engineering title can't have "Engineer" in it"

Where is this? There are plenty of people in Software Engineering (with Engineer as their title) without engineering degrees (or college degrees at all), even at large companies like Facebook/Google etc.
I remember asking someone what prompted them to leave the field whilst their partner stayed on to do a doctorate. They were adamant that they had spent 4 worth-wile years on a degree. When I asked why it made them better at their current job (unrelated to their academic specialty) they got overly defensive asif I was being unreasonable... (for the record, yes they also probably had better on-paper results than me in uni)
The conversation went badly when I then asked why they believed the public should have payed for that...
Now that online streaming has become the norm, how can Netflix compete for the next decade? They way I can think of is if they become a mini version of Disney.
Ah, fair enough, I’m sorry - for some reason only the deputy CEO’s firing came up when I searched about the CEO, so I assumed that was what you had meant. My bad. Please disregard my comment!
"to Plead" is doing a lot of work. Afaik, the only actual fact is that "his defense attorney, William Fick, asked a federal judge in Boston to allow Baugh to change his plea via videoconference".

There are several more charges [1] (witness tampering and destruction of documents) so is he to plead guilty to those as well?

Yeah, I don't like that this is the default, but "Firefox literally sends your keystrokes to Google" could easily be interpreted by many people to mean all of your keystrokes (not just the ones typed in the URL bar).

It would have been better to say "by default Firefox literally sends every keystroke you type in the URL bar to Google".

In my opinion it is a user-hostile "feature", and should be pointed out, but not in way that could be so wildly misinterpreted.
people flocking to centralized platforms and the expectation of free services is the root of the issue.
> a concern which is not necessarily distilled down to "big brother" or "corporate overlords".

My first thought was the time that Google banned a genocide researcher and froze their Drive account because it contained images and video of warcrimes for their research. I can only imagine this `feature` going the same way over time. This is going to affect people who are legitimately studying social problems, more than it is likely to help fix the problems they're studying.

For example, the Nuremberg Trial transcript probably contains some pretty choice words. If Google starts suggesting edits, or worse auto-applying them like they do with spelling, we run the risk of whitewashing documents like this unintentionally.

Assuming your team consolidates Nix code in a few repos, that sounds fairly normal. In contrast, my team maintains a bunch of RPM builds and it's messier business than Nix. More boilerplate, breakage, and manual work.
Hofstadter's law is the only law that's self referential and practically all of them should be.

It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.

Goodhart's Law is describing a system that is dynamically stable, like a unicycle. The moment you stop moving, you fall over. And while really clever people can reduce that movement to a very small extent, possibly so small that an untrained observer no longer sees it, for most beginners and journeymen it's easier/safer if you just move a lot.
I have read the guidelines. Could you tell me where it says “don’t make jokes”? The guidelines aren’t rules, they’re guidelines. Otherwise they would be called rules. You can’t break a guideline, to wit.

I think you’re really overestimating how much my comment either adds or detracts from the conversation.

But I can say it in a clearer way:
I do not care one single iota about the investment companies have made in leasing buildings whatsoever. I do not care to be babysat at work and I leave places that choose such paths. I look down on people who want to have that either as an occupation or a career. I will be laughing the entire time the physical workplace burns because it’s comical.

Have you ever read Candide by Voltaire?
> You don't build to have your home last for more than 30-40 years, which can save some materials.

I'm very skeptical it would save any non-trivial amount in materials. What would you leave out?

Housing in the USA is already very cheaply built, 2x4s and drywall and the cheapest hardware they builder can get. Such houses easily last over a 100 years barring some disaster.

To build a house that crumbles to unlivable in 30 years, you'd have to intentionally design it to do that. Which sounds terrible from an environmental waste perspective.

Being asked to use "folks" in Australia was frankly bizarre. It's not a word anyone uses over there and would be considered a severe Americanism. Pretty sure that suggestion came from our Texas staff, not the Californians.
It’s a suggestion that I’m wrong. That’s true with spelling, but I have never written something like “landlord” by accident in my life. I’m not wrong!

Like that time Brave replaced links to a site with their own affiliate links? Yeah, I no longer trust them.
100% agree. Most cities in the US (not just SF, but definitely SF) are locked in this bizarre ‘you can’t make
it better because you’d stub my toe’ mode that enforces stasis. SF in particular is in this bizarre Byzantine political deadlock where it seems the only thing the city is allowing itself to do is stuff that it knows doesn’t work.
It's not just the looks. That way it is possible to reference something by line and column.
It's fun to begin to think about how much "soft power" companies have in ways we don't even expect. If Apple Maps decides to route traffic down a different street than normal, that could have substantial effects on business on that street.

We like to think we make informed rational decisions at every point in our life, but we don't; the inputs matter a lot and companies control more of those than we would want to admit.
With postgres you'll want to tune those cost paramters however. Eg: lowering the random page cost will change how the planner does things on some queries. But don't just blindly change it -- like modify the value and run the benchmark again. The point is that the SSD is not 10x the cost of RAM (0.1 vs 1.0). In our example a few queries the planner move to, what I always assumed was the slower sequential scan -- but it's only slower depending on your table size (how tall and how wide). I mean, PG works awesome w/o tweaking that stuff but if you've got a few days to play with these values it's quite educational.
And the fact it used to be standard to leave small holes in walls and floors for ventilation. Then when the wind blows outdoors, it also blows indoors.
Yeah, this is the right answer in my case. I wrote Go professionally for a few years, a few years ago, and I haven’t really touched it since. All my knowledge will definitely be a few years out of date.
There is also an excellent chapter on it in Roger Scruton’s “Fools, Frauds and Firebrands” book.
Indeed, but is that really what's happening here? Is it really collective if all these changes are being pushed by american fortune 500 companies, and most people who abide by them are doing so out of fear?
The only way your bid gets accepted is when you overbid. If your "fair"/"what it's worth" offer gets accepted, you have overvalued the property.

> generally they will give you one chance to "improve" your offer

Of course, you have no idea what you're competing against, or if there even is a higher offer.

> in an open bidding system, you are literally in competition for who can/is willing to pay the most for the home.

This is true for blind auctions too.

> The ceiling is basically what you think is "fair".
> in an open bidding system ... The ceiling is what you can/willing to afford

I don't see any reason why you couldn't set the ceiling to what you think is "fair" at an open auction.
The gatekeepers are the only meaningful barrier. The amount of content I learned in my CS degree that ended up being useful to my software development career could fit in a one-month course. Lots of writing Java out on paper (or, marginally better, in a shitty online code editor without access to docs), not a lot of debugging other people's code.
Thanks for the kind words. If you don't mind me asking, how did you get involved in robotics without a degree?

As much complaining there is about college, it's hard to deny that it's very very popular. People really love their schools, so they are providing a service. Maybe what we need to rethink here is just the purpose of college. Seems like a lot of people treat it as a job training program, and would be happy to get rid of every department that isn't in the STEM acronym. The justification usually being that such degrees are unemployable and therefore worthless.

But college is so much more than a job training program, it's a cultural institution at this point. College shapes young people in a way that aligns them culturally. People who go to college have the same sort of formative experiences, and after graduation these are used to relate to others who went through a similar time. It allows young people a time to explore their identities in a safe and understanding environment, to form social bonds, to test their preferences and try different classes, clubs, friends, romantic partners, etc. People call academia a bubble, and I think that it's necessarily so. Maybe think of it more like an incubator.

College is also a melting pot that increases social cohesion. What other institution mixes citizens from all around the country and the world? College forces people from different religions, countries, states, cultures, and ethnic backgrounds to work together on constructive, creative, productive, and important tasks. There are so many voices out there telling us to hate one another and to work against our common man, we can't afford to lose institutions and environments that teach cooperation, unity, and understanding.

It's important that people experience different perspectives, and for all the talk about how academia is a monoculture of ideas, I really must push back on that because there's no other place I can think of with such a diversity of people from all imaginable walks of life. Having exposure to this is crucial to being a citizen of the world.

If we don't want college to be the default, I think we're going to have to seriously consider how to actually replicate the cultural aspect of college in other contexts. Your local trade school might not see enrollment from outside of your county or state. If we decrease enrollments in college and redirect those students just to jobs programs without any other adjustments, I worry we will be destroying something important.
I don't think duped is the right term here. Employers have transparently decided that the potential employees are responsible for their own training. It's not a trick. They just hold all the cards and therefore dictate terms.

To what extent is the decoding consistent? It always felt weird to me that we'd do something in hardware on every execution that could be done once in software at compile time. But if the decoder does smart things that would make more sense to me. For example, with SMT the decoder could choose not to use certain ops if the compute units are in use by the other thread.

ONLINE GBV SUPPORT

As part of our mission of giving more opportunity to women who are working in digital sector, online business and casual technology users. KIVUHUB is helping women in the east of Congo a region where more the 5 million of people lost life during decades of war and millions of women were raped by providing counselling, support and reporting skills/tools to tackle VBG issue while using internet.
Our program links women/girls with Referral clinics across the region and country by providing them online tools to report anonymously all type of cyber crime from cyberbullying, cyber exportation, online harassment , revenge porn, reputation damage and others type of violence all in privacy. The aim is to give women a safe ,secure and private platform to report VBG Violence’s.
Istanbul Convention (Art.3) violence against women is “…all acts of gender-based violence that result in, or are likely to result in, physical, sexual, psychological or economic harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life

Yeah, it's belittling from what I heard. I don't really fully understand anymore since the golden rule has long gone out the window (I wouldn't be offended if someone approached me and me friends and said "Hey, boys". Maybe be a bit uncommon but I wouldn't think much of it).

People who assert that the definition of "woman" isn't really in dispute usually say that women are "Adult Human Females." Others say this definition is exclusionary to some women, and therefore bigoted, and therefore an act of violence.
First one can easily be solved using the local storage web API.

It’s also the opinion of a linguistics professor at Columbia, so this really is just someone opining on his field, not making an autoritative declaration. And he probably didn’t write the headline. People need to stop looking so much at which brand is publishing something and focus on the byline.
That never happened. We never "replaced links".

The issue was about address bar input autocomplete for two domains, binance.us and binance.com, along with keywords which all browsers offer several possible autocompletions for, we autocompleted by default not just via dropdown suggestion, with referral code attribute identifying us (not the user) to Binance at end of domain name. We fixed this right away and made nothing off of it. But it was a blunder for sure.
Correct. This is only for SPAs that use client side routing like react-router. React SPAs are quite common with startups in my experience.
This is one of those questions that seems to be wide open for elaborate proofs - but it turns out the total number of possibilities isn't that large, and you can simply enumerate each one.
> if your personal goals include having things like PTO and health insurance you're going to want the degree.

Only ~40% of Americans have completed some level of post-secondary schooling, and only ~30% have a college degree. ~60-70% of jobs do not offer PTO and health insurance? That seems a little hard to believe. The BLS indicates that 79% of jobs offer PTO.
If it were actually narrowed to highlighting phrases that might cause offense to sizable populations it would probably be pretty useful!

E.g. It might warn a speaker of british english that their text "Remember to bring some fags" is likely to be misunderstood in a rather unfortunate manner.

The fact that it alerts _landlord_, however, suggests to me that its false positives will deprive it of most of its utility and that people will either turn it off (/ignore it) or will slavishly follow it and write confusing or even offensive text as a result.
Oops, that second link is about another type of watermarking, not the anti-piracy kind. Unfortunately, I won't have time to dig up a more appropriate link today.
I would not look at a college degree as an indicator that someone can overcome adversity. They are incredibly common. Almost everyone applying to certain categories of job will have one. And I've personally seen a large number of people with at least one degree fall apart under the real pressure of a startup or FAANG job. The whole point of a leetcode interview is to separate the applicants who merely graduated from the ones who can handle very difficult questions under close observation.

And I would be remiss of I didn't point out that people who go to college at all are more likely to be from well off families and have educated parents. It's a "great investment" for those who already have a huge head start.

4. There are companies that will not even consider an applicant w/o BA degree, no matter what experience (HR filters).

Anyway, in large measure, we are only talking how college is not for everyone because it's so expensive. It's fine to have alternatives but education needs to be more accessible to those that want it.
"most people" is doing a lot of work without any evidence in that sentence.
I'm not sure the wider speaking public is driving a lot of this politicization of English, particularly in the US. It seems to be a small minority with an outsized influence.

I'm not sure you should discard the perspective of language-as-protocol so readily either. Computing protocols are also languages, specified to a necessary degree of precision, and maintained by a standards body. These also evolve with usage, and there are many instances of common usage being added to the protocol specification for things like HTTP.

All I'm suggesting is that we evolve our language consciously, and all together, and not allow a fringe group to hijack the process.

I think Alexander and I would agree wrt the floor. Saying "equally" was probably a mistake on Alexander's part.

>'FDB wants to lower the dropout age to 12; Schools guarentee that kids get to have interactions with lots of other kids, even in very rural areas; Schools guarentee parents time to themselves, to not worry about keeping their kids safe. Aren't these important points?'

Yes, but 5 - 12 is still a looong time for a kid. All those points are orthogonal to charters.

>'I think FDB wants to shut down charters because he recognizes that they're immoral [citation needed], and public schools are simply what we're supposed to maintain for taking care of and educating our kids (at this moment in history.) It seems like Alexander is just saying "you're dreaming too big!"; in every era some people always exist to say this."'

Personally, I'm very fond of Alexander's passage against public-schools-only near the end:

"I am so, so tired of socialists who admit that the current system is a helltopian torturescape, then argue that we must prevent anyone from ever being able to escape it. Who promise that once the last alternative is closed off, once the last nice green place where a few people manage to hold off the miseries of the world is crushed, why then the helltopian torturescape will become a lovely utopia full of rainbows and unicorns. If you can make your system less miserable, make your system less miserable! Do it before forcing everyone else to participate in it under pain of imprisonment if they refuse! Forcing everyone to participate in your system and then making your system something other than a meat-grinder that takes in happy children and spits out dead-eyed traumatized eighteen-year-olds who have written 10,000 pages on symbolism in To Kill A Mockingbird and had zero normal happy experiences - is doing things super, super backwards!"
