I had a very bad boss once. Many things were dysfunctional: Micromanaging, fires every day, no planning and no responsibility. The pay was good, the project was interesting, and I was working with some friends whom I respected a lot. So we made it work.

Then one day we detected an Issue. It was the sort of thing that could be big, if not managed properly. So I went and told him about it.

He basically exploded. He blamed us for everything, which was simply not fair. Then he threatened us. With prison.

So, we went and fixed the problem, the best we could, on our own.

A few months later a different problem happened. Everyone looked at me. I just shrugged. "Let's fix this ourselves".

Some months later I was recruited via Twitter and I was out of there.

That boss taught me a lot of things ... to avoid.
While I like what Framework is doing and I'm glad the product exists, I find it to be a physically unattractive laptop. There's more to design than just aesthetics but I think it gives off cheap mid-2000s netbook vibes.

Happy they're getting recognition and I hope they keep iterating on the design.
On a related note, I am ever grateful that I still have my Amazon.co.jp account and a Japanese kindle / Japanese credit card, and a VPN for Amazon Prime Japan. The situation for legal product in foreign languages has barely improved in Canada.

When I was studying Japanese in the early 2000s, you were basically locked into ridiculous 60s-80s era material by Tuttle Publishing. The only way to be culturally fluent was Aozora Bunko and piracy - which is probably why it is less common to find 40+ year olds in the west who are fluent non-Japanese Japanese speakers.

Considering the near zero cost of publishing ebooks, you'd think some enterprising Japanese company would sell their books abroad for the same price as in Japan, but I guess that's not happening.
I argue that patterns learned on individual tests would apply to new tests. There are a set of patterns which have already been called out here. Translation, rotations, exclusions, logical and/xor on line segments and dots, etc. IME, most IQ tests sample from this set of patterns. Once you are familiar with that set you aren't really doing a first-order matching - instead you are going through your list of expected patterns and seeing if they apply to the particular question. This means you can breeze through the early questions drawn from that set using your memory and then save your cognitive time for the later harder patterns.
I am not qualified to make any comments on the legal difference between the terms either, and I should also add that I am an ESL, so take that with a grain of salt.

Reading the original comments about being "liable", it felt like another way of saying "there are consequences to your decisions, and as the author you bear some responsibility of what you put out there", which imo is pretty far from how the author of this blog post described it, hence me calling "a pretty big stretch"
Plus the employee will get better and better at it, biasing the insurance towards the conservative side.
> But it’s surely better than almost every other city in the world

On which basis?
It’s a vocal but minority opinion, certainly a highly controversial one. As an easy example, it’s pretty difficult for code to self-document why a particular implementation approach was chosen. The book actually addresses the points you note.
> One underappreciated aspect of low definition graphics is that your mind can interpolate the visuals

Yes, what Scott McCloud calls "closure" in Understanding Comics.

That said, my mind also interpolates the newer version of Melee Island, because it's cartoony and "abstract" enough, and so I also like it.
Thanks, good response.

What I'm getting is that you consider the "attack" an immediate mortal
threat and the granularity of tools and techniques for discerning
enemy/friendly identity and behaviour are lacking. The principle
ethical stance is really self-preservation.

> "It's okay, I'm totally legitimate!" that person is probably still
going down in the crossfire.

Nice analogy. I may have to steal that :)

Given that we can't rely on identity [1], can we improve analysis and
response to behaviour?

[1] I see in an earlier response you talk a bit about fingerprinting,
and of course anyone serious about privacy will modulate OS and browser
FPs without malicious intent.
One of the reasons people like Musk. At least it's one of the reasons for me.
There are far better ways to stop credential stuffing than requiring a phone number that would be immediately obvious to the people at Google - Hashcash, for instance[1].

250M login attempts times a few seconds of CPU time is a lot of compute cost to inflict on an attacker who is carrying out the same attack against a bunch of other services at once, and virtually nothing to the few thousands of active users who should only be logging in once every few months each.

And yes, a few extra seconds of logon time is viable, because people are used to the login process taking a few seconds and they don't do it very frequently.

"Credential stuffing" is straight-up an invalid excuse for asking for someone's phone number.

AFAIK if you renounce American citizenship and never spend more than 6 months at a single place within the same year, the question becomes moot.
> Anyone who thinks this is about advertising/collecting personal data is out of their minds.

For the end user it is absolutely about collecting additional personal data. My concerns as a user are not the concerns of Alphabet, the company, period.
I wonder if it isn't possible to get it to save your command to history when you do Ctrl-C.

I tried a naive way by trapping sigint but couldn't get it to work.
To clarify, I was talking about making RAII, not using RAII. And it surprised me too, when I learned that the borrow checker rejects it.

To see it in action: Have a Database object, and try to have multiple Transaction objects that might commit something to it, in their drop().

It's unfortunately not possible, because they can't all have a &mut Database as struct fields.

We can sacrifice speed (by using Cell's copying or Rc's counting) or safety (by using unsafe). Most RAII we see uses unsafe FFI under the hood, which is why it was so surprising to me.
Pay rising seems to be because of a labor shortage and if SF base pay is top of market in the US/world then other areas will incrementally move higher to attract/retain talent.

It seems like the software developer market has much more hiring activity than pre-pandemic so I don't think equalizing to the cheapest geography/salary for remote is going to happen. It appears the trend upwards with a labor shortage is more the case that "A rising tide lifts all boats" type of thing where other markets are also trending upwards.

What would be more interesting about remote work is a discussion about the labor shortage. Is it because more people are leaving for more pay and causing a ripple effect in the place they left (like a game of musical chairs)? Are there a lot more VC, therefore startups and just more open positions?
I've seen different authentication methods for different countries etc, for example there are some countries that if you put in your age as > 70 when signing up, the combination of being old and in a poorer country means google never asks you for a phone number, because it's likely you don't have a cellphone.

So the rules can vary by region
Thanks to everyone for your replies below, they provided me with some really useful insights and I understand that it's definitely less directly polluting than fossil fuels and that it's also part of an interim plan.

However. I still think humanity can do better.

If we put all the energy, resources and research that we are putting into nuclear into truly sustainable energy like wind, solar, wave and geothermal, which to my knowledge produce less or no byproducts, then that would be best.

It's unfortunate that the world can't take an aligned approach and build solar farms in deserts, wind farms at sea, wave energy on coastlines and then just export it all fairly to countries. I think I'm almost campaigning for energy as a global right and not for sale as a commodity.
I mean, I was introduced to meat raffles since moving more into the Midwest but this is next level to me. Granted I live in a metro region so only turkeys roaming around, no cows.
> You think it's a good thing that the judiciary is an ivory tower with absolutely no regard for public perception?

Roe exists only because Supreme Court Justices in their ivory tower overturned the laws the “public” had supported. People are afraid of Roe being overturned only because they are afraid of the laws duly elected officials will enact with public support when it’s gone.

The Supreme Court, as conceived by liberals, is an ivory tower where elite lawyers dish out rulings on moral issues without regard to the public perception.
I'd agree with you completely if I hadn't played Breadth of the Wild. It somehow managed to bring that child back and front again.
I believe I saw the guy with breasts on the Man Show way back when.
I can't speak to this particular practice, but as a kid, whenever we would go to the parades, people would organize grids in the street to bet where the horses would poop. And then inevitably try to convince the people on the horses to stop over their square and force their horse to go.
I think the Framework laptop is awesome and is very unique with some awesome features. I am left with one question, why does the industrial design on every premium laptop look like a MacBook pro? Basically the only premium laptop that looks different is the X1 carbon.
In order to argue that, you have to list your goals, what you want to do with your phone, and the goals of an attacker. On Android, other than a few minor inconveniences, I can still achieve everything I want to with my phone, where an attacker will have a difficult time achieving their goal, of presumably stealing some data from another app.

This is compared to PureOS where you may have free reign, but so would an attacker if you install their app on your device. If you used QubesOS I'd argue that restricts the user a similar amount as Android does, not to mention missing out on a number of mobile friendly apps.
This last part is true of any insurance. And it's not just buying market share which can cause it - pure stupidity can too.
Fennel made a really interesting choice in rigidly sticking to the lua semantics.

I think in isolation it would be a fairly bad choice, but in practice you get a drop-in replacement for lua that fixes every problem with lua.

I wouldn't want any other lisp to work like it does but damn I consider that thing my savior at this point. I've come to really hate lua and fennel bails me out every time.
> Personally, I have found that 1 hour + is a good threshold to aim for for some really quality thinking. After about an hour I've already processed normal stuff about family or work and have moved on to deeper topics.

I find this kinda pointless for myself. Most of the time I just revisit the same subjects over and over and come to the same conclusions no matter how I try to solve it. Once I’m done with the menial tasks - the “deeper” topics just make me upset to think about because they make me realize how hopelessly fucked I am. I’d rather not focus on that and instead do a bit of hedonism while I can.

> Don't really know how you got the "start to crack" out of my previous comment.

"When I see someone start getting stressed to the point it negatively impacts interactions."
I have been tinkering on something similar - I had no idea this already existed, and so long ago. Absolutely amazing.
It might be unfair to generalize, because there are some shoddy fan translations out there, and I’m sure there are some studios / professionals that do great work.

But it can be jarring to see fan-translated versions put more care into preserving intent and readability in translations, and even preserve artwork like onomatopoeia while also providing context, only to see what appears to be sloppy disregard in the official release.

It feels like an industry where you as the customer never really know what you’re getting, because the standards are all over the place.

For all the legit criticisms, anime has at least generally evolved to have a minimum acceptable standard by which most studios operate, with considerable blow back when that doesn’t happen (see early Netflix dubs that they later re-dubbed based on complaints). The same can’t be said for manga, afaik.
Daniel Stenberg is such a haxx.or, I guess.
Game development is full of exploitative companies looking to squeeze whatever effort they can from passionate young people. When you're young and inexperienced it's best to avoid those companies as best you can; the experience you'll gain will be less desirable than at a company that treats you well and presents you with opportunities for long term growth.

That said, as an older programmer I would not expect to ever earn anywhere near your earning potential for the skills you'll gain, if you were to work outside of gaming. It doesn't matter that you might single-handedly build the infrastructure to host millions in MAU on a shoestring budget; the profit margins are razor thin, if there's any profit at all, and the wages reflect that.

Your customers don't want to pay you, investors don't want to buy in, the media dislikes you by default, and your industry is saturated with competition.

All that said, I have worked outside of gaming and still keep coming back to it. I've taken substantial pay cuts, leaving good jobs of my own volition, to return on several occasions. I do it because I've never experienced so much _freedom_ as I do as a game developer. If there's something I want to try, build or learn then I generally start on that _immediately_. Nowhere else have I felt so able to express myself and better myself.

* Addendum: YMMV. I've worked mostly in small studios, on Indie titles and subcontracting on AAA titles. I imagine things are different at very large studios.
If I think a thing should be worth 45, and I buy it for 40, and then it goes down to 30, I'd rather buy more than sell?

I've never understood stop-loss, it seems to me that by using stop-loss, one is basically saying "I don't know what the fundamental value is and if it goes down I want to sell". Then, why buy the thing in the first place?
> You don’t need to post articles, or, well, not to me at least. I didn’t go to the link. I won’t either. It doesn’t matter what it says.

> Let me propose an experiment. For a whole week, do not consume your regular media diet and instead consume “the others”. Walk a mile in their mocassins as it were. Take it as an exercise in empathy.

You're aware you wrote these two paragraphs in the same post, yes?
This is becoming even more widespread despite immense negative feedback from fans and it is really concerning. Companies like Crunchyroll carry around a laundry list of translation (as well as other) controversies but for most American anime fans there is no alternative, you either watch on Crunchy or you don't watch at all.
Is that legal? My understanding is that they don't have jurisdiction beyond their borders. That would be like saying if you consume cannabis in a state where it's legal and then go back to a state where it's not, they could charge you.
Oh no, then if n=∞, there are infinite digits in pi!
Even during monsoon season in AZ, I still find an all-mesh marathon vest like Ultimate Direction Marathon Vest V2 plenty comfortable. I put my phone, flashlight, ID, hand sanitizer, tweezers (for cactus thorns) and keys in it. If I need to I can also put something like a Patagonia Houdini in it for windy / light precip.
Record revenue of $5.9bn, almost $1bn above estimates.

Expected revenue for 2022 raised from $21.5bn to $26.3bn.
Couldn't you just install the Google Profile on any android tablet or spare phone or something, set it up, switch to authenticator (on your normal phone) and then remove the accounts and whatnot from the tablet? Never use SMS at all?

The real head scratcher for me here though is that you are fine with Google hosting all of your emails and whatnot but knowing the phone number is a huge problem? If you do not trust Google with your phone number it seems like going with another email service would probably already be a good decision.....
Some decently sized french company used (may still do) haskell for logistics.
Though biking for older people is probably more risky in the event of a fall.

Also, walking is weight bearing exercise, which is supposed to be better for bone strength.
Thanks, I'd never heard of MOAH (mineral-oil saturated / aromatic hydrocarbons). Scary stuff..
I'd love to see the weird trends they find on some of the bigger more complex algorithms. Like people who drive red cars born July 2000 with a pet bird are 8 times more likely to get in an accident if they primarily drive near Chicago or Miami. I'm sure it's not that granular but I can dream.
It is frustrating when you want to do the right thing and pay for a product that you have great demand for, but which nobody is offering to you.
Emotional abuse in relationships being a world-wide issue is kind of a separate thing to what I said
I never thought of the whole idea of wanting to hide my number from them, and I suspect most other users haven't either, but it does seem like an issue once you think about it.

It might have something to do with not wanting to have tons of spam accounts out there? Do they have code to keep a closer eye on unverified accounts?

Or preventing broken devices from locking people out, in a "We must protect users from themselves" kind of way?

Google is a mass market company, clearly not a privacy company, anyone who really wants to not be constantly tracked should probably stay away for many more reasons than this.
Funny, I felt that way about the new Macbook Pros. When they unveiled them at the event, I was laughing my ass off since I was joking with my friends earlier about how funny it would be if they used the old 2007 MBP design. Then the laughing wore off when I saw the notch... different strokes for different folks, I suppose.
Having discovered some of the talks from this conference today: it features some great content and ideas. A link for the curious: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=hytradboi.com

Maybe I'm behind the times, but it's really impressive that it's possible for a single person to arrange, organize and host an entire conference in 2022 with ticketing, chat, downloadable talks and captioning. I suppose having pre-recorded talks help a lot in terms of infrastructure management/monitoring. Even so, it feels like a powerful level of "technology assist". Kudos to Jamie for the event and writeup.
So it seems obvious that this is not the only questionable use location data is being put to. Businesses could buy location tracks on competitors to find out if they are having health problems or to blackmail them. Criminals could use it for blackmail. Foreign governments could use it for blackmail and to build contact networks for people of interest. People could find out which politicians attend neo-nazi meetings. Dead drops for bribery money could be discovered by journalists. Infidelities could be tracked. There are likely many many uses. Apparently the data is easily available. So misuse is likely widespread already. Much of the data is archived and could be mined for any use in the future.
Yes, I am aware. Why are you asking?

> ...if we want to understand why one language is more popular than another, we usually need to look at things that happened in the past, not just things that are happening right now

Figuring out why OCaml didn't get popular in the past is not a super useful exercise. It's more useful to understand what is needed to popularize it today.
Ah, I had to do something today for an initial screening round for software development role. I didn't make the cut. Haha.

Restaurants, flight connections, quality of services, friendly tax regime. Restaurants obviously being the most important metric.

Sure, it’ll lose out to London, Paris, Barcelona, New York, Los Angeles, …

For venture capital backed tech companies at least, isn't one of the largest expenses salaries? Doesn't it almost benefit companies to have more employees at a higher salary expense to bolster huge valuations?
I’ll admit I’m not too familiar and sorry to hear the reality is more grim than I’d hope. My point is more about this WFH and anti RTO stance being a bit like a wrecking ball when a hammer would do. Things like dress codes are exactly the minor policy reforms that could be done before revolting to a fully remote wfh movement. That said, I hope now everyone is now more flexible in general and that translates to people that actually needed it and weren’t getting it (like yourself).
Downvote and move on - adding a low-value comment of your own worsens the problem in some ways.
I very much agree, it's a big assumption that burnout is only cause by too much work or too much pressure. When that assumption is unchallenged, it can lead to managers dismissing concerns about burnout because their teams are not overworked.

A lack of meaning to the work, or even a lack of work overall, can also cause feelings of burnout. A lack of obvious career progression can cause burnout. Constantly fire fighting can cause burnout.

So if someone says they are burned out, I always ask what is causing it before talking about solutions.
These two are takumi in every traditional sense of that word.
> I biked every road in St. Louis a few years ago, which required biking every street in some high-crime neighborhoods.

He is likely avoiding high-crime neighborhoods. There is a big gap between 'exceptionally safe' and 'high-crime' neighborhoods. Your average and even below average neighborhoods are likely safe for most walkers.

It's always a bit jarring when the ara-ara anime lady with big breasts and no inhibitions about showing them off, drops a reference to "toxic masculinity" in the dub.
Most people don't have that as the distinction. The distinction has tended to be defined around "are you creating new risk?"

If yes = gambling. If no = insurance (or hedging).
Not saying the framework laptop isn't a great laptop, but reddot awards seem like a meaningless pay to win scam. Pay to enter, pay more if you win. Is it really an award if you bought it? For context, there were 70+ laptop models listed as "winners" last year.
That's one of the things Monkey Island 2 did. It also had the track seamlessly changing cues and adding/removing layers as you entered various sections of a location, had multiple transitions between the same tracks that were chosen depending on when did you trigger them and in-game events were often timed to wait for the beat to synchronize them with music. Later games with similarly dynamic sampled music that I'm aware about (The Curse of Monkey Island, MI2:SE, Portal 2 and now Octopath Traveler) did some of these things, but none of them came close to the level of complexity in the original Monkey Island 2.

Although one reason for that (other than the obvious MIDI vs. sampled one) could be that in MI2, a lot of effort went into this music system which ended up working great, but... not many people actually noticed ;)
