I operate on the assumption that any sort of loan could end up as a "gift". If I'm going to loan friends or family money I ask myself if I'm OK not getting it back.
Let’s just grant the point for the purposes of this conversation (which is not to say I agree, this has not ever actually happened before but could be considered theft of government property, but just for this conversation we’ll set that aside): would you want to keep someone on staff that violates your trust for politically motivated reasons?

It’s not just the current Justices and staff that want to know either. There has never been a before-the-fact wholesale leak of a draft opinion, but there have been months after-the-fact leaks that saw the leaker completely shunned by the community around SCOTUS independent of political affiliation or judicial philosophy from former and current clerks to the Justices themselves. They keep it tight, and clerkships, SCOTUS or otherwise, are usually the ultimate networking opportunity. Simply put, it was unprofessional and everyone involved has an interest in determining who it was no matter what the political motivations were or the hoped for outcome.
Is that year 2025...
Should be a simple fix. It might just need regulation on the balance wheel (super quick, no need to disassemble the whole movement), or one of the pinions might be bent (just replace that wheel).

Take it to a watchmaker, a fix like this would be pretty straightforward.

> The future of scripting languages is browser JavaScript.

No. I'd wager it's much more likely _any scripting language but JavaScript_. Statistically speaking it's probably Python, though I wouldn't love that universe either, being a Rubyist.

Browser JavaScript has 30 years of technical debt in the form of the general inability to make non-backwards-compatible breaking changes lest half of web pages stop executing properly. This has been a boon for legacy code, but the language itself has languished for so long and in so many ways. It shouldn't be anyone's North Star, especially given a choice. Web Assembly gives us real choices, and I think it will eventually result in the end of JS's dominance in frontend when we all come to our senses and support improves a bit more.

The only thing that I can remember helping against such actions, is the exponential need for confirmation by intent.

Means, if you delete one small file you need one confirmation, if you delete thousands, you need a intent stating i expect thousand files to be deleted. Same goes for size. So not a okay button, but instead a form allowing you to enter the dimension of the intented outcome. 100 files max, 1 gb max deleted.

If the request goves over the intent, the system aborts.
In conversations where optimizing the productivity of the discussion is a priority, I would not use sarcasm.
This is correct. When Hannah Arendt wrote "The Banality Of Evil" she was trying to communicate how ordinary and boring some of the monsters of history were. We might expect them to be dramatic figures like Darth Vader, but in reality they are just bureaucrats who have no empathy and don't think about the consequences of what happens when they sign some document.

> Honestly, do you think parents are able to effectively counter literal billion-dollar companies that pour resources into making sure their apps are engaging (read: addictive)? How?

not by trying to put the fault on them or dodging the issue by finding excuses

if you ban tiktok today, tomorrow will appear a new one, embrace them for what they are, social communication mediums, and educate your kids with the problems and how they can avoid them, and to contact you in case they face them

the reason they are finding an escape through them and not thought you is because you are hostile to the way they communicate with their friends, and if you add the pandemic to the bags, it is easy to understand why they are using it more often

trying to push an agenda, and using "teen mental health" as an excuse is disgusting

facebook? deadlier from 7 to 77, and nobody gives a shit, but tiktok? all of a sudden, it's the evil ;)

f for format ("formatted string").

It does the same thing as `https://api.ourservice.com/media?page${page}&step=100` [sic] in Javascript, or "https://api.ourservice.com/media?page$page&step=100" in Bash, PHP, Perl or Groovy (and other languages). It outs you into variable substitution / interpolation in the string literal.

In Python these string literals are called f-strings if you want to look it up. They are defined in PEP 498 - Literal String Interpolation [1] and available since Python 3.6.

'That Doesn’t Feel Like $150 Worth of Groceries'
Since you've interviewed candidates for programming jobs you know that being 99th percentile among them is pretty easy. Just being a programmer is enough. It's easy to exceed 10× zero.

It's true that many people get anxious about programming job interviews. Except in rare cases, it isn't really rational. But people get even more anxious about giving public talks, which, as you point out, often isn't rational either.

It's true that people sometimes create artificial time-pressure deadlines. Those people are manipulative schmucks who deserve no quarter. In reality, time to market is a huge competitive advantage, and when a business's site is down it generally loses money every minute; getting it back up allows the business to start making money again. Similar, but worse, when customer systems are broken because your software broke them.

When you're giving a talk at a conference, you're forming part of a community. You have a reputation in that community. That reputation can be good or bad. Having a bad reputation hurts you in myriad ways, even without anyone in the back row making a mark on your permanent record.

You're confusing your limited experience of reality with reality itself, and consequently you come off as dogmatic and defensive, which could limit your learning. I think everyone would benefit from incorporating more aspects of reality into their worldview.
" Why do the richest most stable countries feels so insecure?"

This is the question I keep asking myself. There seems to any number of answers but I'm not sure we've any definitive ones as yet. If we had then we ought to be able to do something about it. Perhaps the uncertainty of not knowing is the cause.

That said, simply adjusting the tick rate to regulate timekeeping is very easy and if you've got steady hands and a sharp eye then you can do it yourself with a wooden toothpick, assuming you've got a tool to remove the watch back. Any shop (offering repair facilities) could do it as well in a matter of minutes.
> Given that IBM has transitioned to MacBooks for corporate use, have at least some Red Hat developers moved to MacBooks as well?

Seems unlikely as that'd imply running the OS they're making in a VM: the M1s only officially support macOS, and Asahi only just released their first alpha a pair of months back, with a lot of hardware not working yet. There's also a bunch of software which is not compatible with 16K pages, which asahi uses.

Testing Against XTDB
So, I moved one of our Postgres DBs to Aurora Serverless V2 (for testing). First the process is super ridiculous. Anyways I am quite disappointed. One of the main reasons was their "scaling to 0" for some DBs we get close to none and then really spiky traffic. But they removed that! So, that leaves you with .5 ACUs running no matter what. But that is not great! Its 0.07 per hour, a t3.micro is 0.02 an hour. I was looking for a DB that could scale to 0 cost and then ramp up to handle > 10k requests per seconds.

A bit off-topic, but I'd like to see a language à la rust+gc, with pattern matching, traits, and the functional stuff rust got right, but without all the worries of lifetimes, and maybe some easier trait management (function signatures become very ugly imo).

What you're discussing is tangibly different than what's described in the thread though. Refusing to look the lone woman present in the eye while giving interview answers -- even for a primary interviewer who is a woman -- while making good eye contact with others present isn't the same as looking down/away from a male judge or magistrate in a court setting.

I agree completely, but blocking access is something different than surveilling their every click. At some point children will look at content the parents don't approve off and for many that can be important. You probably just have to remind yourself of your own childhood. Perhaps a few years longer than 10 stronger supervision is needed, granted, but at some point children profit from a little distance from their parents.

I'm happily willing to show you a multitude of heroin/cocaine/meth/[insert other drug here] which were very well educated, schooled and taken care of - stop putting education that high. Addiction is not an escape. There are many forms an "escape" can take and TikTok is not one that I'm willing to accept because it creates addiction, one that is intelligently designed to eat her free time WHOLE so no, I will not take your advice on it. She can "escape" with a bike, with friends outside, with her dogs, with her drawings, dressing, swimming, snowboarding or many other healthy things she was taught to.

Thank you for writing this. I was implicitly trying to convey this in the article, but glad to have it be explicit.
I don't care about coding interviews. I care when extremely junior employees give me questions literally out of leetcode (I've seen enough to recognize the test cases). That's not a test for coding, nor does it have anything to do with the code I wrote over a decade at Google.
if it's python, it's the formatting/interpolation string marker.
Sure - but are these clue tells likely to come up in what the interviewee considers a chance encounter - riding in a taxi - to a job interview (thus probably dressed in an uniform way), when their mind is likely on other things?

Also, wouldn't the taxi driver also have to know about these clues?

With all respect, I think the scenario "Taxi driver planted/used as an interview prescreen is openly anti-gay and sniffs them out." is a bit contrived.
I know blockchain enthusiasts claim that it solves some problems, but in reality it fails to solve them because they are not fundamentally tech problems. You could think of it as a performance art documentary of a group of people learning to recreate the world's financial regulations in a bottle, but the price of admission is a trail of fraud victims. Furthermore, it is wasting the world's energy supplies, and eating up our attempts to move to renewable resources.

Yeah that must be the real reason it didn’t catch on as a default. Light peak did have cheaper cables though, the optical part was in the connector, not the cable. The connector was a usb-a connector if I remember correctly.. and the history is actually pretty interesting! Apparently that connector was deemed proprietary and frowned upon by the usb folks for causing consumer confusion[1]. Kind of hilarious now, seeing how thunderbolt 1/2 ended up barely being adopted outside of Apple and usb itself is a confusing mess these days.

> Your IP address is often a great identifier, making a VPN or Tor a useful starting point for online privacy.

See, this is exactly why I don't trust you. This is used car salesman talk. IP addresses are only one minor tracking mechanism out of many which defeat obscuring originating IP by means of VPN altogether (canvas fingerprint, cookies, font/screen tracking, etc.) You're trying to say if I use a VPN, I get privacy because websites don't know my IP, but this isn't even remotely accurate. Do you explain this anywhere in your marketing materials? If not, it doesn't really help me, it just helps you sell the product.

Let's say your domain name is example.com

> Distinct emails is just defense in-depth.
> (it also helps a lot with tracing who's sold your data to a spammer)

Not only that, if when you first sign up with BigCo you give them your email address as bigco@example.com then when one eventually stops dealing with BigCo one be certain that all email addressed to bigco@example.com can be rejected at your email server without a second thought, no need to scan for spam, just reject everything addressed to that alias.

A good friend of mine takes this a step further and does it through DNS (which of course he self-hosts as well as his mail server). He would give his email to BigCo as firstname@bigco.example.com. Once he's done with BigCo then he removes the records for bigco.example.com and there's no way to even look up a relevant mailserver to send email to firstname@bigco.example.com!
I was actually really impressed with this individual! For someone who has less than a year of experience, they're showing quite a bit of initiative, drive, and curiosity - which really are what make or break engineers as they develop. Taking the time to do a blog post (effectively a post-mortem) and share it is even better!

And yes - I've literally done this exact same error (with TB of video data!). Spending the following week remediating all of that data loss was a great lesson in patience and attention to detail. :-)

Instagram and Facebook are probably the biggest culprits, but YouTube is part of the problem as well. It disgusts me how many ads are in kids content on YouTube--and they usually aren't even relevant to kids. Why are you showing car insurance ads on a video for kids? Also, kids have a bigger hurdle to get over than any other generation--housing and college costs keep rising and there's never been more competition in every other aspect of life. Our society has created a toxic winner takes all environment that leads many to despair and depression.

That's my entire point: the increase in complexity is very non-linear. With Python, Go, or whatever else, you pay a slightly higher upfront price, and you get things like atomic deployments out of the box; that price is however almost immediately amortised by the de-facto requirement to set up HTTPS/ACME, etc.

With PHP it's easier to just get started, but you've already mentioned versions, symlinks, CI, etc - that's the non-linear increase in complexity, you have to add a lot more pieces to get good ROI. With Python or Go you can continue using SCP to deploy for as long as it suits your needs, because no code changes will be picked up until you restart the process. If you need rollbacks, e.g. Go doesn't need symlinks or versioned directories - the entire app is a single executable, so you can just keep copies of these. You pay for what you use, and the returns are more linear and immediate.

If you only have experience deploying PHP, I would sincerely recommend trying other languages/runtimes/frameworks, even if for no other reason than to learn from what the rest of the world is doing. For me, learning to deploy PHP correctly was also a horizon-broadening experience.

Well, off the top of my head from Grimm:

--Cinderella: mean deceptive people might get their feat chopped off & eyes pecked out. (In short, Karma. though unfortunately the world doesn't quite work that way, but there's still a bit of "the world can be ugly" too)

--Cat & The Mouse: Never forget that the nature of a predator is predation

--Hansel & Gretel: Don't take candy from strangers. Also, if something looks to good to be true, it probably is. And also that maybe little children are delicious? I mean, the witch had to have her reasons.

--Rumpelstiltskin: Okay, there's some mixed messages here. Lying father, malicious greedy king, deceptive girl... Rumpelstiltskin comes out looking like a hero, saving the girl's life 3 times but then get's cheated out of his last payment & kills himself. But he also wanted her baby. She agreed, but still... anyway no one really comes off smelling of roses but Rumpelstiltskin is the only one dead.

--The Peasant in Heaven: Truly good rich people are very rare

--Snow White: Alright, maybe this one shouldn't on the list. Could be there's a lesson about jealousy in there, and also that maybe you should try the Heimlich maneuver on someone that keels over while eating, but in the end it kind of boils down to some fairly creepy borderline necrophilia.
Everyone should work some form of retail job at least once in their life.

I was a motorcycle mechanic for six years before going to college. Some customers where a joy, you looked forward to seeing them, most were just average Joes that needed work done, and a very small few were arrogant self entitled jerks, but it was a job, and you had to deal with it.

Some of the nicest people I know have had retail experience in their life.
