The method of loci, also sometimes called the memory palace method, has been used for hundreds of years to recall information:

> It has no verdict on whether or not something should be changed.

Hard disagree. The difficulty of discovering the reasons for Chesterton's Fence and the impossibility of ever being certain that you have discovered them all means that it actually is a general prescription for caution / against change.

Of course, as always, it comes down to a judgement call. Do you understand the reasons for Chesterton's Fence well enough? Unfortunately, that's exactly the same situation one was in before the Chesterton's Fence metaphor was brought up, so either the metaphor is completely useless (by way of being disclaimed into oblivion) or it is a general prescription for caution / against change.
I think you're story is outdated?

See: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/10/us/politics/jan-6-trump-c...

> Investigators have not uncovered evidence that any official records were tampered with or deleted, and it is well known that Mr. Trump routinely used his personal cellphone, and those of his aides, to talk with other aides, congressional allies and outside confidants, bypassing the normal channels of presidential communication.

So the J6 committee just hasnt' gotten his personal phone records yet, they only had the official Whitehouse call-logs.
What is odd to me, is that they call out North Face instead of Patagonia- Patagonia is working hard to ensure their clothing is ONLY plastic, trying to completely remove all natural fibers and materials from their offerings.

North face still has plenty of cotton and wool options.
Just for the record, one can believe in Covid restrictions of 2020 and also believe this CSAM action is absurd and anti-privacy.

The autopilot declares an emergency via transponder code and radio calls, which means suddenly everything else in the sky is moved out of your way for you and you're given near-exclusive use of whatever airport the autopilot picks.

This does not bring us closer to "flying cars."
declarativeNetRequest still doesn't have capabilities sufficient to reimplement uBlock Origin functionality. Besides that, it puts the power to decide which blocking capabilities are even possible strictly in Google's hands.

Given that, it's quite clear it's a malicious move to take control away from the user.
> Bitcoin and crypto are a threat to the IMF system. They aren’t going to like it when you do that. To survive without the IMF, you would have to go all in at a generational bottom. That did not happen.

I see this conspiracy theory thrown somewhat often, but it has the same substance than any qanon-type "they" story.

Meanwhile, supporters of this conspiracy theory fail to explain why adopting a highly volatile and manipulation-prone asset as a nation's legal tender is not a completely brain-dead belief, as it fails any of the basic properties of money.

Another detail that btc conspiracy theorists fail to mention is how every single concern expressed by the IMF regarding El Salvador's Bitcoin push was already proven right.

But crypto-bros hand-wave around the subject and it never ceases to be fool-proof.
At the point you feel they are being rude, you know you don't want to be dependent on them for your income. There is nothing more to do here but waste everyone's time.

This is the core truth of the situation. Be gentle with how you tell them this; but not telling them, or letting them believe something else is fundamentally dishonest.
That's one of them, yes. I've not had the time to read the whole thing today, and probably won't have time, so I'm trying to encourage people to dig through it a bit themselves and get a feel for just how "But the Children!" it is, as a reason to violate every bit of privacy they think they can get away with.
Not clear from reading the post if the SQLite C library is embedded and linked in the Worker runtime (which would mean no network roundtrip) or if each query or batch of queries is converted to a network request to a server embedding the SQLite C library.

That's important to understand because that's one of the key advantages of SQLite compared to the usual client-server architecture of databases like PostgreSQL or MySQL:

That is largely the media's fault. They covered Trump 24/7 during his entire presidency like it was some sort of addiction.

> Sure, it matters because there are tens of millions of black, hispanic, and latino US citizens -- numerous with CS/STEM degrees -- who cannot get into FAANGs.

FAANGs aren't discriminating against black, hispanic and latino US citizens. If someone can't get into FAANG its not because of their "race" or "citizenship", it's because they can't pass the hiring bar -- whether hiring is broken is another question, but hiring isn't biased against blacks latinos and hispanics.

This comparison is disingenuous. Had you said they therefore have to work in the government sector as software engineers, I'd say you might have a point. But your comment reads as: "because they can't get a job as at FAANG they work at t-mobile as salespeople.

Holy sh-t. What kind of country will you create with "zero taxes"? A sh-tty one! No one likes to pay high taxes, but there are almost no highly developed non-microstate nations with low taxes. (Even the Switzerland argument still has a bunch of holes when you look at the aggregate and include all levels of taxation.) How else can you pay for (subsidised) child care, health care, education, unemployment insurance, and national (old-age) pension? It costs a pretty penny.

And what Argentine devs are making 150K USD? Few.
The way I remember things for tests is to summarise something to as little as possible. Then without looking, write out the summary. If I have to check my notes, I complete it and then try again. Once I have written it out independently, I can express the ideas in more detail if pressed. You should revise the notes at least once a day. If there is something you had forgotten, write them out again.
Oil is nothing but decomposed plants/plankton, a resource that is not renewable at least not in our lifetimes.

Fun fact, go to Santa Barbara CA and walk the beach, the blobs of oil that pop up occasionally are not from some man made catastrophe but naturally occurring oil that is seeping from the ground and washing up on the beaches. Try to get your head around that, a oil spill being a natural system of nature!

I think we need to wean off oil and gas and onto better and more efficient power systems but am glad I do not equate natural products as "evil".

You will find countless quotes such as the following among the founding fathers: "The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to. It is necessary, to keep the waters pure." - Thomas Jefferson

To imagine they would see the current scenario where the government and a handful of corporations are working in cahoots to suppress expression + drive self censorship on a scale unlike anything in our history, and go "Yip, working as intended." is just disingenuous.

I've also seen people get to L7 or equivalent by age 30, and they have done it by being phenomenal engineers who quickly produce great results of impressive scope. I'm skeptical that a median engineer can get to L7 by just job-hopping a few times getting promoted each time. If nothing else, organizations just don't need more than a small percent of their people doing L7 level work.
In the short run, you try to make new plastic jackets out of old plastic:

https://www.patagonia.com/our-footprint/recycled-polyester.h...

In the long run, there’s really no reason plastics can’t be made directly from recent organic matter. Starting with oil gives you an energetic boost, but if you’ve got clean energy to spare, in theory you don’t need it. In practice though, it’s hard and there is a long way to go.

It’s hard to imagine how one would get similar performance from non-plastic garments. Before plastic, top-notch outer wear was oiled cotton canvas. But you are right about microplastic pollution.
There is nobody that can make you disappear from public existence unless you help them do so, by being utterly dependent on their continued acknowledgement and validation of an identity that you made central to your existence. But that's really nobody's fault except you, anybody is allowed to view any identity as illegitimate, it's totally on you that you're so attached to this identity that a bunch of people not believing in it is a thing that makes you "disappear from public life".
You are still not getting this. It costs exactly zero more developer time to type "throw x" than to type "abort()". It places exactly zero demand on anybody else.

If somebody decides they want to catch the exception and try something else, that is totally their choice, and they can devote as much or as little time to getting their idea working as they like. If they get it working, good. If they give up first, that is fine too.

Plastic can be synthesized via syngas (a mix of hydrogen and carbon monoxide), which itself can be produced through sustainable mechanisms like biofuels or hydrogen electrolysis and CO2 capture.

That process starts from a lower energy level than starting from methane or oil, and so overall its more expensive. We would have to be willing to commit to generating a "surplus" of carbon-free power (e.g. nuclear, wind, solar) to support that sort of manufacturing, but it would be possible.

Also, a great thing about running electrochemical processes off of a periodic energy source like solar or wind is that the economics are easy to load-shift -- you care about the aggregate work output, not the consistency of work output.
From my perspective it's a pretty complicated question. Like loans can be very beneficial if they are used to make sensible investments. So that's a good reason to give them out. But as you mention if it just goes straight into the private pockets of bad people that's not good. But realistically it's never so black and white. Some money will be used for sensible investments, some will be used to build a giant statue of the leader, a third part to cousins, and a fourth to buy votes. So it's a question, is a sufficent proportion used for good? And also is the leader legitimate? If a leader is very impopular then we may say the he cannot take loans on his people's behalf, that the people are not bound by any agreements he makes.

But anyway I'm curious about your thoughts, what is the alternative? How would a better system look like?
> At the end of the day, the company wants to hire you and you probably want to be hired

No, at the end of the day, the company wants to hire SOMEBODY. That somebody is not necessarily you, hence the interview. You're being compared to all the other candidates.

Maybe this is different late in your career when you've got 10+ years experience under your belt, but there are a LOT of candidates in that "3-5 year" experience point.

GP talked about 20+ years, without knowing, they could either be halfway through their career, or nearing the end. Also assuming they started their career immediately instead of at a later time in life.

11 years in the (relatively young) tech industry is quite the tenure at this point, _imo_.

My point was that the market is hot. Hot enough for an 11 year "veteran" to still get a 39% increase. Also want to point out I've "hopped" as many jobs in about as many years. Some people coming into the industry get taken advantage of compensation wise for a multitude of reasons just to get their foot in the door. I also strongly believe in skill stagnation at certain companies and hopping is the only way out.

Again, none of these arguments really matter as it comes down to individual experiences.

What is the point of a "stable coin" especially when it is say pegged to the dollar. i.e. 1 to 1. It means nothing because why not just use Dollars in the first place. It serves no purpose.... Unless you didn't really have those dollars in the first place? Because otherwise it's just transferring money with extra steps (fraud) in the middle. The only possible justification of having it is that you don't have the dollars in the first place.

What the 1952 law says is that you can't ban people from immigrating because of what country they come from. It doesn't ban the creation caps on the number of people immigrating from a specific countries, which the law also enacted. The 1965 Act repealed country based quotas and replaced them with hemisphere based quotas, which were then themselves repealed and replaced with country based quotas again in the Immigration Act of 1990, which created the modern Diversity Immigrant Visas (as well the modern employment based visas).

In the event of a pileup, it doesn’t really matter how much distance you’ve left. If you end up hitting the car in front of you, you get cited for failure to maintain distance. Because, if you had left enough distance, you wouldn’t have hit the car in front of you. It doesn’t matter if you left 50, 75, or 100m. If you hit the car in front, you didn’t leave enough space. And the risk of someone else swerving into that gap doesn’t mean you’re not at fault, it just means you’re both wrong now.
At Purism, our goal is not to build a phone or two, but to contribute to the ecosystem as well. That means the Linux kernel, and the Linux camera infrastructure. Now, we have two choices: either contribute support for our hardware, or use some hardware that was already supported.

In reality, UVC is not suitable for a phone, so we can't leverage that. There are some camera drivers in the kernel already, but not necessarily ones that we could buy or meeting our expectations.
Even if there were, that still leaves us with the problem of connecting the cameras to applications in a standard way, so we can't really avoid working on libcamera.

This reifies the view of the system. Particularly the time spent as a PhD would be spent doing meaningful work contributing to the country. This is if we accept that the time spent as a student living in America making connections with people as your life develops as a young adult deserve to be waived away.
