I believe it's because people generally find the idea to be comfortable and familiar based on fictional representations in movies, etc. I'm of the opinion biometric information is totally private, yet easily spoof-able, thus should only be used to identity - not authorize - me.
I believe if we're honest, we've all done stupid things we should have avoided. I remember a group of about 3000 emails that went out to insurance agents saying that policy #123456789 for Someone Funky was going to be cancelled by underwriting. I also remember very quickly figuring out how to automate Outlook's email recall feature.

Of course (industrial) ML model training needs an on-call. Many on-calls at the same time, for different components of the system, actually.
Yes, I think the scientific name is Cynomys ludovicianus. Completely unafraid of vehicles as well, but smart enough to stay off the actual road surface.
Yeah, last I checked they paid under typical wages (already bad, by coastal standards) at local jobs in my area. Jobs that have much easier interviews. And many of them allow remote, too.

I didn't end up with a local employer (again—I have in the past), but I do have a remote job that pays more than local work. And it was easier to get than a GitLab job. So why even apply, unless they've significantly increased pay relative to other options?
I don’t think fingerprint scanners on consumer devices are always great. My daughter has one on her laptop and last week I tried my finger and it worked.
Thanks, that did the trick. setvbuf was what I was looking for.
This seems great for application where you (as a dev) has absolutely no need to ever access any of your user's data. However, if you have a process that needs to grab some users data, you'll have no choice but to make sure all users have similar db schema (or centralize within the same database).
More importantly, this person is helping us learn from their mistake. This is something that should be encouraged, not mocked.

I had an interview question that dealt with knowing some crazy shit about C data structure layout and pointers and casting. (Embedded development position)

You had to solve it on a blackboard, with chalk, and the intent (I later learned) was not necessarily that you got the right answer, but how you worked through it. Did you just lock up? Did you get frustrated? Did you ask the interviewer to clarify with more data? They wanted to see your thought process.

I was able to answer it (not everyone that got hired did), and when I was done, I looked at the interviewer and asked "Do you write code this way, here?". He laughed and said 'no, no no no'. I told him, I wasn't sure I would want to work there if they did. We both laughed. He ended up being my first supervisor at that company.

Hello Dan! (If you happen to read this...)
> Why would you sell your degree?

The same reason you would sell your car: To try and recoup the cost that you sunk into it, to repurpose and hopefully find productive use for the capital. The trouble you will run into with the degree, with it quickly depreciating to having no remaining value as soon as you drive it off the lot, is that nobody will want to buy it from you. The car will retain at least some value with its much longer depreciation cycle and ultimately scrap value.

In the US, on large structural projects, things are generally well-specified, either by standard code, or long before the project goes to bid. The owner (usually another firm representing the government that's paying for it) and the contractor inspect and measure all the work done each day. There are undoubtedly going to be mistakes and corners cut, but that's what safety factors are for and it's hard for problems like that to be endemic without some serious corruption.

On a related note to using the wrong concrete, things like this can be an opportunity to see master craftspeople in their element. We had a truck of concrete show up and the foreman rejected it with almost no hesitation. "Why the f*&($ won't you sign on off this!?" the driver yelled. "It's smells wrong", said the foreman. Nobody else noticed anything amiss, but he was the boss, so the truck went back to the plant and sure enough, they'd mixed it wrong.
If that's a real risk then our solution to it can't be individual programmers self-policing their own competence.
This is more common than you think. Not just losing data, but not having a good handle on where the important parts of the system are, and how close you are to catastrophe. I find diagrams really help. I can recall a visual map of the system when I work on some component, and think, "OH, I remember seeing this component connected to a really critical thing, I need to check something first."

Start by creating one empty page for every component of your system. You won't remember them all, but over time you can add missing ones. Each page is the authoritative source of info on that component. If you need more pages for one component, put them in a directory of the same name as the page and add ".d" to the directory name, and link to them from the first page. Finally, create a diagram (however you want) that includes every component you have a page for. Add the count of components to the top of the diagram. If the count on the diagram doesn't match the number of documents, time to update the diagram. If you ever add, remove or rename a page, time to update the diagram. If you do this the same way for every different system you have, you can link them all together and get both small and large scale diagrams. (p.s. don't waste time automating this unless you find the system changing constantly or you have a very big system)
I read the Animal Farm to my below K12 kids on one sitting and they were hooked.

Kids needs scary stories in a safe environment. This will help them process these thoughts and prepare them for the inevitable trauma they will face at some point in their life.

Animal Farm is also not a bleak read but also fun as you can do all the animal voices with their characteristic animal sounds.

OK, great. But if we stick to oil for those 100 years, we'll continue killing planetary biodiversity, which will cause unknown knock-on effects that will make it hard to grow food the normal way, even if we're only looking at effects on humans. Is that really a good way to live?

Saying that the current situation is imperfect is like saying that jumping off a bridge puts you in a situation that isn't ideal. We need to pull our collective heads out of our collective asses and start investing in alternative energy sources - now, not in 10 or 20 or 50 years.
it's not a dumb question, but that will not stop anyone because biometric authentication works very well in practice (convenient and foolproof) despite beeing not very secure.

i.e. lockpicking howtos and existence of glasscutters don't dissuade from having a locked front door.
28" 4k has ~158 dpi, so it makes sense to use 150% scaling for it, considering that canonical dpi is 96. But it is important to consider disadvantages of 150% scaling in general. While text and vector graphics could be rendered properly, there are plenty of non-photo bitmap graphics, which has to be scaled. And scaling it by 2 keeps it sharp, while scaling it by 1.5 makes it blurry.

Therefore it makes sense to buy either low-dpi monitors (with dpi ~100) or high-dpi monitors (with dpi ~200, and run it with scale 2), but 28" 4k is just in uncanny valley of dpi, that is too high for scale 1, too low for scale 2 and matching scale 1.5 is blurry.
There are plenty of people who like fixing the occasional bug and adding a touch more polish. The problem is that this is actively disincentivized on every level. On top of that, a lot of people have internalized this.

If the world weren't so obsessed with differentiating pay, you would have people who are enthusiastic about a wider variety of things.

> In Javascript it's been normal

What you're describing is not just "normal", but the way standards works in the web space, both in theory and in practice, driven by both browsers and the standard bodies.

1. Developers/browser developers want to be able to do something in browsers

2. One engine implements it, developers start building with it

3. Second engine implements it

4. Work begins to standardize it

5. Both (all) engines starts moving from their implementation, to the standardized one

If the step after one of the steps doesn't happen (like only one browser implements a new API), the next step doesn't happen. Standards are not created for one engine, but if at least two engines have implemented something.

In your expertise, What separates the asociality that comes with mild/high functioning autism from that which comes from a coping mechanism for an unhappy childhood of someone who would otherwise be "normal"?
Kids used to play together outside, unsupervised, undirected play, all the time.

2022, I discovers after two year livin there that some of my neighbors had kids. I saw them 5sec from the house to the car.
I don't understand the problem with this. Life is a death sentence; you are just allowing them to realize their destiny, and helping a hungry hawk. Isn't nature wonderfu?

"people categorize you as eccentric, creepy, foolish, or all of the above."

This was the first time I've heard the foolish part. This is definitely making me question some of my past and pushing me even closer to consider getting evaluated.

The main thing stopping me is, how will a diagnosis help me? I feel what it wouldn't change anything in my personal life. I would like to make my job better, but I'm not sure what they would actually do since my biggest issues are when they lie or otherwise don't honor their word. Then I have managers telling me things don't work the way the policies say they should and that I'm foolish for taking the approach that relies on those policies/systems.

That's a distraction: The extraction is only temporarily. The value of an amount of efuel is not in that it's made from captured CO2, it's in burning that efuel to drive some machine. So yeah, there will be some CO2 captured in storage and transit, but that's will be less than what we release every year.

If you want to capture CO2 for good: Capture it, dump it somewhere and don't touch it ever again. The trick is to derive (monetary) value from the permanent storage. Just digging a hole and dumping it there doesn't make anyone richer (only healthier, but who's paying for that on the necessary scale?). Thinking about it, maybe we can use it in construction?
Perhaps, but I don't see how my point still stands. If individual responsibility and obligation are the things that make the difference, then by that logic, the responsibility and obligation of generations before have created a world that has instilled kids with the sentiment they have. Like... when you say this, who are you blaming? Who is to blame?

You can say something like "Well, in fact, the world is doing fine, we are progressing, it is all just appearance, it is an epistemological problem for these kids, brainwashing"; and you might cite some NGO report about decreasing world hunger or the happiness index, or whatever, and say "these kids have nothing to complain about". I see this argument a lot. But I would just ask, OK, if thats true, it simply shifts the problem. If it is just about the kids perceptions, and their dwindling sense of obligation in response to that, we can still ask: why are they being misled in this way? Why do they feel selfish entitlement instead responsible obligation? Surely it is something about the world they find themselves in, the world inherited from their parents. I don't know who else you can blame. You spent many decades voting, consuming, building the apps, creating the culture that kids find themselves in, the very same one where they arrive at the sentiments they do. It is still on you!

You could also accept my initial conclusion and say: "yes the world is worse then when I was a kid, but it isn't my fault." But then, that troubles the conceit that individual obligation/responsibility is the operating variable there. And really, you are just hold the same pessimism as the kid, but through the filter of a lived life grasping for purpose. You are asking the kid to have more faith than yourself!

At the end of the day, a life might just be a lesson in having faith in progress, but that is less a value to impose, less something to punish the kid for not realizing, as it is something we all must come to.

To blame the kids is just not logical. Even if it turns out that the flouride in the water or whatever has caused this rash of irresponsibility in young people, that is still on the generations before them for putting it in the water! If its not on the generations before, if it was going to happen no matter what, then that is just reason to throw out the idea the kids lack anything at all, that something about their sentiments are their fault.

So, either you are guilty (as presumably an older person), or you need to cut the kids some slack.

Had the "irregular behavior from null" problem in spades the other day, it taught me some things about http query parameters I didn't know. What gets me about null is how the problems can be fought back against with very simple changes like

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base...

and

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_navigation_operator

Not to mind that you can write a static method that does the same thing as

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api//java.bas...

but treats null as Optional.empty() which eliminates the overhead of the Optional and the number of unhappy paths. (With Optional you have to deal with Optional.empty() AND a possible null!)

Immutable data structures are an interesting one. My take is that they're the bees knees for writing compilers (e.g. map perfectly to the problem of keeping track of symbol tables in different context) but I've spent time on data handling systems (e.g. Hadoop and the 10,000 Apache projects that follow in its footsteps) where people are already frankly pissed about how about much CPU time goes to serializing and deserializing things and they need a factor of two regression in data structure peformance about as much as computational physicists (people who can tell you if selenium is electrically conductive from first principles) need to rewrite their FORTRAN programs in something slower.

Our Mission:

Large online marketplaces like Amazon have trained consumers to expect products delivered to their doorsteps within 1-2 days at no extra cost. As a result, millions of merchants on other marketplaces are falling behind, unable to cost-effectively deliver products to their customers within 1-2 days. Our mission is to enable any merchant, regardless of size, to delight their customers with fast and cost-effective fulfillment.
Is it possible you can proactively work on these skills with a therapist while you date? Dating is a lot about learning about yourself as well as learning about someone else. It sounds like you've learned about a weakness in yourself that you think you can work on, so why not find a certified professional to work on it? I'm sure the ability to consider others and be flexible when necessary will be useful outside of dating too.
Hey! Looks interesting. The two things that would hold me back from using it are (a) not enough institution support, for big places like Vanguard and Fidelity where many people have investments, and (b) no clear pricing structure listed that I could see, so I assume it’s going to be more expensive than Plaid.
I felt the same way, what a weird thing to tweet about. In all my years interviewing I have never seen anyone that wouldn't talk (or look at the eyes) of my female coworker when interviewing or elsewhere. I had female managers, directors and CTOs, and I don't recall an instance where the gender of the person were a problem. Looking at the person's twitter profile, he matches the type of those who think that having worked at FAANG or FAANG-like companies gives them some sort of extra credibility or something. I work and have worked at FAANGs and feel like if I have to write a short Bio for myself, the company I work for wouldn't make it there.

Huh interesting. I'm not that plugged in to tech fashions, but was looking at GraphQL just the other day. My conclusion was that it didn't fit though, mostly because I wanted something that supported truly ad-hoc querying and mutation. With GraphQL it's really more like an RPC protocol, so you have to figure out your queries ahead of time, there was nothing like SQL's ability to do ad-hoc querying.
>Why is the employer not the one who should subsidize it? Why should the employer only profit from underpaid labor?

I dont think the work is underpaid. If the price is low due to supply and demand, it is not underpaid, it is just low value labor. If we want people to have more money than their labor is worth, then the people who want them to have money should give it to them, or help them increase the value of their labor.

>Also you seem to have the idea that working a job is somehow inherently good.

Not at all. I think that self sufficiency and people taking care of themselves is good. Working and making money is good in that it reduces the need for others to subsidize and pay for their lives.

>Some of them just are not and are a waste that are actively preventing people from working on what is necessary.

I think this is a inaccurate and paternalistic view. low paid jobs are not a barrier. People can and do find better jobs. Destroying a job does not create a better job.

>Examples

Nobody in the examples underpaid. These are just examples of labor that has low value (supply and demand). If garbage specialists are underpaid, it isn't because "we feel like it", it is because it is low skill and anyone can do it. If teachers are underpaid, it is because we don't want to pay more for higher quality teachers.

You seem to be coming at things from a Marxist theory of labor value, which isn't workable.
I have a scrum master, a product owner, a tech lead, and a team manager. All four of those are management relationships, but only 1.5 are hierarchal (the manager and sort of the tech lead). The most effective and efficient relationships we have, IMO, are with the scrum master and product owner, who aren't above us in a hierarchy.

There's no inherent reason for management to be hierarchically superior. If you want productive relationships, you have to level the power dynamic more.

The weakest link in security is always going to be humans. Account compromise is is more often a human problem than a technological one (spamming requests, password reuse, simple passwords, (spear) phishing, direct social engineering, etc).

If I'm understanding correctly, they're aiming to reduce multi-factor auth back down to a single factor that's "easier" than passwords. Easier to use. Easier to social engineer a compromise.

I get regular requests to get into my Microsoft account using their new login form that sends a key code rather than prompting for password. "Passwordless" just means that prompt goes to an app where a user unlocks their device to approve the login.

This seems like worse security, not better. I'm okay with an approval prompt if it's part of a multi-factor auth system. Not if it's the only auth.
I think the issue isn't if the taxi driver actively likes a guy but more if the person does something so egregious to leave a deeply negative mark (or at least that's how I would use such a report from a taxi driver).

Stress is a reasonable excuse, but it's also reasonable for many jobs to require a minimal level of curtesy even under stress, especially in a highly collaborative environment
That's going to require quite a lot of changes, it's a giant breaking change. All classes would need someone to go around finding all the attributes that are created and adding an __slots__ dictionary, to avoid regular attribute initialization in __init__ failing. It's a massive task, and it would completely break backwards compatibility for performance gains that not everybody will need.
