It can be worth understanding why the Java ecosystem evolved that way. It's not because simplicity wasn't valued, but rather it's not code simplicity that's valued. Rather, much of the Java ecosystem is designed to allow dozens of independent teams, totaling hundreds of developers, within a company (or across companies) to build their small piece of the application, with whatever build process is used by them. Then you put all the .jar files in one bundle, and the AbstractFactoryBuilderLookupServiceBuilders puts the pieces together at runtime.

It's complex as hell code-wise, but it simplifies the amount of cross-team/cross-company alignment and synchronization that has to happen in order to cut a new version of the application containing hotfix 8495 for the part of the app maintained by Steve's team.

There's actually a decent parallel between that and Microservices. Microservices make maintenance of the whole more complicated by introducing the network between pieces, but allow each piece more flexibility in how it's developed.
Computer Scientists Prove That Certain Problems Are Fundamentally Hard
It's not improbable that he was privately opposed to it, but he had to be publicly in favor of it in order to not undercut people like Vijaya Gadde and Del Harvey. Remember that Dorsey was also CEO of Square at the time and doing a bunch of crypto stuff. Dealing with Twitter drama was probably not the hill he wanted to die on.
Well, Trump likely knew what he'd be culpable for, and acted accordingly. I'm not the judge though, the DOJ and it's actions will be.
Yep. Good standards = healthy competition in the space. Standards that basically just standardize what someone has already done, standards that require special licensing, require a high degree of effort to implement, etc, all create competitive advantages for large incumbents.
Actually bond holders eat first in US bankruptcy law. Then employees, and shareholders last. So in this case, under capitalism, billionaire investors eat last. [0]

Complete side note, I really wish Meteor took off more than it did I really enjoyed working with that framework went to the conference back in like 2014-2015 at the UN building in New York and felt really productive with it. I know it's still viable and I might use it for a personal project but wonder how businesses that use it are holding up.
That's really impressive, but does it run on Windows, Mac, and Linux including image support? Do you have a link to any examples of more traditional application UI as opposed to demo flavored?
You might have pointed that out to the other interviewers to show that you are below no one, and you do not allow being laughed at. That may lead to a much more interesting interview.

> So you expect roughly 50% of people to hate you, and for you to hate about 50% of people?

You don't have to vote either Republican or Democrat. Third-parties, write-ins, and simply abstaining in protest are all perfectly valid alternatives which would get you out of that 50%. I more-or-less agree with the GP here: If you vote for a candidate knowing that they will use the power you give them in ways which are harmful to others, you're contributing to the problem. That's true even in FPTP voting systems where the winner will almost certainly have an (R) or (D) next to their name no matter what you do. Overall turnout (voter engagement) and the percentage that actually voted for the winning candidate both matter even if they don't change the official result of the election.
Everybody understands the stated goals of US immigration policy. They just don't necessarily agree with it, and are pointing out ways in which the current policy is detrimental to US interests in ways that likely supersede the value gained by diversifying the country of birth of potential immigrants.
The whole point is that if you were born anywhere else (except India or China), it is a fairly simple process which would take less than a year (one can file both I-140 and I-485 together).
The more axis you have to account for, the more complicated it gets.

Wow that's insane. Everyone I've met at Google (I also work here) has been coasting and stealing a living instead of being stressed. I guess you meet those most similar to yourself...
Frankly, it doesn't matter why exactly they've broken it. What matters is that it is broken, with no easy way to intercept traffic for all apps.

This is an extremely user hostile position from Android and Google which is clearly meant to remove oversight over what apps send from the hands of the computer owner. I have no doubt they'll continue this cat-and-mouse game of trying to make it impossible to see the traffic generated by your own device.

Now this is something the EU should work on changing instead of trying to dismantle E2E encryption.
The story is clearly fake anyway.
I have an abysmal memory, my mind is more oriented towards mental models and logic versus memorizing facts and events.

I've enjoyed one particular exercise. Its based off a story I read where Navy Admirals are able to study a deck of 52 cards and remember the entire order in 60s. So basically, take N cards and spend 60s memorizing them, then let another 60s pass, then test yourself. I think the most I ever got was like 12 cards.

I tried also doing more long term exercises, i.e here's a sequence of 4 cards, I'll come back in 7 days and try to recall the order.

Overall, the improvements were marginal.

Maybe there are better exercises, but something I've found to be orders of magnitude more effective is simply note-taking. Mac notes are really convenient for this because they're searchable. It's a tedious habit to form and takes discipline when starting, but IMO really pays off in the long run when the content aggregates.

My dream hobby project is to create a kind of "second brain" program that is primarily note taking but sits on top of a "knowledge graph" so i can kind of google search my memory, or view it like a twitter feed. I know there's a million apps our there that probably fit this bill, but I already have a specific vision in mind for this app.
An alternative point of view from Docs Like Code, p.11

Reasons we treat docs like code

Coders and writers have borrowed tools and techniques from each other for decades. When you look at the history of producing docs and code together, you see that tools were invented specifically to produce docs while coding.

For example, the JavaDoc tool has been available since the first Java release in 1999. Visualizing the code in HTML, providing accessible online docs, and updating the documentation with the code were all keys to its success.
> El Salvador is in a far better place now than it's been in decades.

Literally, like just two hours ago, we lost Visa Free Travel to the UK, due to a 17x fold increase in asylum requests in 2021 [1]

Is this a sign of the country being in a better place?

Because of course the EU wants a centralized EU-wide approach.
I think you are misrepresenting in the other direction (ie posting salaries that are unrepresentative in the low direction).

Just out of a job hunt and had two offers in Atlanta, one in person with a TC of $180k and one fully remote with a TC of $235k. This is with 2 YoE

The costs you post also seem really high. Atlanta United tickets are $35 for the cheapest, food/drink is around $25 total. I generally would take transit or uber into games but I see parking for $10-20 within a half mile. I'm not as familiar with housing costs but a few quick searches show 3 bed/2 bath in decent neighborhoods for around $500k, and to be within an hour of Atlanta is definitely doable for less.

I think Atlanta is fairly high CoL for the Southeast and still find the expenses to be less than you're claiming
You really want to use CRDTs, not data types subject to human resolved merge conflicts.
The headline is editorializing beyond what’s supported by the article. That technology, SS7, wasn’t intended as a backdoor. It was about network management. As such, it may have been possible to gain access to it far easier than it would be to some intentional backdoor.
I don't know if you've looked at the "Who is Hiring" and "Who wants to be Hired" threads in the last 4 months, but the "Who Is Hiring" comment count has been ~3X the number of "Who Wants to Be Hired" over that period

Layoffs and hiring freezes at big tech might change things in the next few months though
I remember playing this as a kid. It was always Psilons for tech dominance, or Klackon for overwhelming population.

I tend not to share personal history, so I'll randomly pick one:

> Another country that is very difficult to receive citizenship is Qatar. There are lengthy continuous residence requirements and not all children or spouses receive citizenship automatically.

> Children born in Qatar to Qatari parents are automatically entitled to citizenship. Any person born with a Qatari father may apply to be a citizen, if they meet eligibility criteria. However, the same is not true for individuals with a Qatari mother.

> People who qualify for permanent residence through naturalisation are those who have lived in Qatar for at least 20 years consecutively (if born outside Qatar) or ten years (if born there).

> Applicants must be fluent in Arabic, hold good character, and be able to support themselves financially during their stay.

> Although there are very generous government benefits available for citizens, the government only grants a maximum of 100 permanent residencies per year.

So if you're male, marry a Qatari woman, your kids won't even be citizens. While there technically is a process to get permanent residency, you can see how limited it is - a max of 100 per year, and I bet the majority of those have government connections. Similar story with nearby countries.
COBRA is a disaster. its often more expensive than when shopping around for insurance by yourself.
There is a whole system called SuperMemo designed to help with memorizing things. You might want to check it out. Good luck!
> Usual safety guidelines are to stay about 3 car lengths behind whoever you're following

Uh, no. Usual safety guidelines are to stay a speed-dependent distance behind whomever you're following. The one I've heard most often quoted is one car length per ten miles per hour, so at 70mph you should be a minimum of seven car lengths behind.

Three lengths is comically short for those kinds of speeds.
We all need oil and gas to sustain our modern lifestyle. To pretend otherwise it's just hypocritical. Blaming the oil companies for allowing us a comfortable and easy life is so shortsighted - we don't want to live like Tarzan...
Yes, just because someone is criticizing doesn't automatically mean they are not grateful. But most comments here are basically insinuating that. I am a naturalized citizen and I love the USA. I love the opportunities it has provided me and I am grateful but I also pay taxes, have created jobs (business owner) and I have plenty to criticize (to hopefully improve). Don't tell me to shut up because I was "well came from a shittier country". This is my country as much as yours.
That's interesting that your card made it to you with the wrong photo on it. There was a visual inspection process that compared what the printed card looked like, to what it's supposed to look like, and cards were supposed to be ejected and reprinted if there was a mismatch.
I worked on the machine/system that prints those cards in the late 90s. When was your card issued? I heard somewhere (and find it easy to believe) that the entire system we built was replaced with something much smaller and simpler a few years later as technology improved.
This. Although I wish Apple would follow MS's suite and remove "spaces" in directories. Right now we have something like

MS tried to fix this by making directories like:

C:/Users/AppData/Local/
I don't think it's automatic. It certainly isn't for movies. When the LoC added Back to the Future to the registry they were like "Well, we put it on the list. If you have a copy of the movie lying around somewhere I'm sure we can find some space for it, otherwise our work here is done. On to next year, guys!"
I grew up in Florida. It would take all my fingers and toes and more to count the number of times I have seen articles or even witnessed personally from the beach a pilot of a small craft either die naturally at the controls or have some medical event that causes a crash and death.

Why are small planes necessary? Am I wrong to believe what it seems like, that the overwhelmingly popular purpose is entertainment? Is anyone else sick of being lead poisoned?

I am all for scrutinizing and restricting the driver's licenses of the elderly or those with severe medical issues that will inevitably lead to an accident. This goes doubly so for pilots. I know there's a lot young pilots. I take no issue with you. But it seems like most pilots and owners of small planes are over retirement age. It is the entitlement that gets under my skin, the entitlement to poison everyone on the ground with lead as well as put innocent bystanders in danger. Why do we allow this? There are severe problems with conservative ideals, and mainly it has to do with entitlement, a telltale symptom of mental illness, namely, narcissism. Fuck narcissists.
>Why is that? Do you mean it looks bad in the CV if you leave too soon?

That's one thing, also life happens where it's more beneficial to stay someplace to keep the income coming in than it is to spend hours off the clock finding and preparing a different job. Say a medical problem, or you need to pay to fix damage to your house, or a spouse lost a job, etc.
Why can't the act/process of collecting of data about person(s) for the purpose of building a dossier to sell to others be defined as stalking and treated accordingly?

This contains the text of the requirements. Search for "Grooming" and you'll find some particularly horrifying chunks regarding "scanning of conversations for content." Plus, not only known existing CSAM, but also identifying new material. Because don't you trust machine learning that can't tell the difference between a cat and a ferret to know what is and isn't CSAM? That's a very real path to "You have a photo of your child in the bathtub and the police smash down your door."

I like this bit, though:

> The processing of users’ personal data for the purposes of detecting, reporting and removing online child sexual abuse has a significant impact on users’ rights and can be justified only in view of the importance of preventing and combating online child sexual abuse.
That should probably be done as a precaution for all aircraft. It's a win for everyone.
Clothes that use synthetic fibers are shedding microplastics whenever you wear them, wash them, etc. You shouldn't wear such garbage if you care about the environment (and your health).
Go to therapy. Seriously. Helping you work through your mind not doing what you want is literally their profession. I've found it incredibly helpful multiple times throughout my life, for lots of things vaguely similar to this.

I meant that the system for electing MEPs (using the D'Hondt and STV methods) was more proportional than FPTP as used in UK general elections. Thus a UK vote in a European election was better reflected in the composition of MEPs elected (and thus the party of the European commission president) than an equivalent UK vote in a general election.

Actually, to be clear, I haven't compared the Gallagher index[0] values of UK general elections and UK elections of MEPs, so I accept the possibility that quirks of the two systems and the UK political scene might mean that the real world outcomes don't match the theory.

By "in use" you mean never progressed beyond the trial stage? Your article literally says in the opening paragraph, "why did it take until the global COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 for the first mRNA vaccine to be brought to market?"

The COVID vaccines are so poorly understood that the manufacturers claimed 95% efficacy against infection, a claim which evaporated within months as that number dropped through the floor. They have never even tried to explain why their trial results were so badly wrong, meaning they don't understand their own products. A product so new even its own makers can't explain its behavior is at best experimental, and that's being generous in the extreme. A more accurate assessment would be that COVID vaccination was a mandatory medical experiment forced on vast sections of humanity often against people's will, in which the people doing the forcing then turned a blind eye to any negative effects.
I came of age just a hair late, and cut my teeth on the ambitious but disastrous MoO 3. What a disappointment that was.
Banks do not loan out deposits . This is a misunderstanding of modern banking. In modern banking systems, loans create deposits. Banks create loans out of thin air. In order to make loans they must have appropriate capital ratios. Bank deposits are a liability. When a bank deposit is debited, either via a withdrawal, check, or other transaction, it is settled using reserves. Reserves are federal money that is on deposit in accounts which banks have at the Federal reserve. Banks pay each other via interbank reserve settlements. Banks only maintain a minimal amount of reserves on deposit(Reserve Requirements). They can borrow reserves from the Fed if needed.
This same train of thought comes up when talking about environmental conservation. Namely: "If you're worried about the environment, you should have more kids because they'll also be environmentalists".

It's so ridiculous on its face that I'm not sure why I'm typing out this reply, but if there was a simple straight line between genetics and ideology, why would positions like those opposed to the Republicans exist at all? Shouldn't they all have been bred out by now?

And what about the fact that what it means to be a Republican and a Democrat change as well. There used to be a time when the Democrats were the pro-slavery party. So what ideological elements are inherited exactly? Is it the broad party affiliation? Is it beliefs about tax policy? Beliefs about gun rights[1]? Religion?

Edit: Oh yeah, and anecdotally plenty of kids raised by conservatives grow up to hate their parents' guts. Perhaps because of the authoritarian nature of some conservative households. As you might expect, this is especially true for LGBTQ kids.
> Lending to a country/corporation is different to lending to a person.

But you were the one that introduced the analogy that depended on this difference not breaking it.

Poor schools will set a lower bar for getting a grade. Thus an equal GPA from an inferior school doesn't mean as much. That's why we need stuff like the SAT--a standard yardstick not subject to the desires of each school.

And, like usual, "perpetuating racial inequality" really is a colorblind system. We aren't going to solve the problem until we quit pretending it's discrimination.
> Grothendieck spoke of problem-solving as akin to opening a hard
nut. You could open it with sharp tools and a hammer, but that was
not his way. He said that it was better to put the nut in liquid, to
let it soak, even to walk away from it, until eventually it opened.

This is a lovely way of looking at solving hard problems as a
life-project, instead of a rushed performance. There's a pernicious
pressure in academia for students to be world-class before they're 25,
whereas I think the best insights seem to pop out quite naturally
after putting them in the background for 10 or 20 years.

I have not met many brilliant mathematicians, but a few do seem
especially sensitive to wounding by the ugliness in the human
condition. It's a shame both Alexander Grothendieck and Theodore
Kaczynski didn't find ways to tough it out against the ugliness
instead of succumbing to withdrawal or anger - because truth is the
greatest weapon against the violence of ignorant tyranny.
How does one make a plastic jacket without plastic? Delivery and shipping aside, the basic raw materials for plastics come from the petrochemical industry colloquially referred to as "Oil & Gas."

Personally, I'd be in favor of banning plastics from garments as they are the single largest source of microplastic pollution and non-recyclable consumer goods on the market. But if you make plastic garments, you're part of the precipitate.
