By my memory; not researched, probably wrong, but: one of the early organizations to use the word "toxicity" to describe human behavior was actually (not a joke) Riot Games, in describing some League of Legends players.

I wish I could find the blog post, as it was at least a decade ago at this point, but it described their reasoning as: it's not just malicious behavior, but its malicious behavior which "spreads" between people. Malice creates Malice. Someone yells obscenities in chat, it tilts another player, and that player is now yelling obscenities in the next game; that's toxicity.

Which is only to say that I think it's a good definition and wholly applicable. Corporate politics flows down from the top; the behavior of managers affects the behavior of middle-managers, which can affect the behavior of line workers. Toxicity isn't just a bad apple; its a bad organization.
Hehe, it's gotten better I believe. I'm browsing it somewhat less than I used to so my sample may be off.

Eventually you numb slightly to it, and with a couple interesting pieces sprinkled in, the overall utility is still positive to me.

And more generally: Controversy is never going away, I just have to get better at detecting silent consensus that fits my ethics (i.e. where the gap between world models is not so large to make conversation impossible). These days this mostly entails belief in some form of shared reality and basic human rights; how the standards have fallen!

And on some occasions we simply like to scream into the ether. Personally, I don't hold it against anybody, even though it may be against community hygiene when overdone or inappropriate. But at that point there's moderation.

The IT crowd will manage. It's what's happening "outside" that worries me...
And that's if you can find an appointment at all. It's over 150 days here in Ireland and you have to check the portal pretty much daily to try your luck. I've been waiting for two months already and can never land one!
Why would you use SQLlite once you start dealing with network, just use MySQl or PG.

It's just re-inventing the wheel badly, I need to read the details but basically you're using a tool SQLLite that was not designed to be used outside of a single app use case.
This is why you should always wear a crystal. The crystal will adsorb the latent EMF and harmonize you with Gia. Also consider a negative-ion bracelet and sleeping with your head pointing north which will alleviate any remaining symptoms of EMF.

"Be your own bank". It is bullshit because nobody wants to bother with that just as nobody wants to bake their own bread.
Do you have any more information on that? What's the issue and what was the reasoning behind that choice?
WWDC and other Apple events justify more hype because they are market leaders in mobile. When you watch an Apple event you are often seeing things for the first time. Google Pixel is blatantly copying the Apple product portfolio, from custom chip designs to now Airpod Pro clones. Where would Google be with Pixel if Apple didn't exist? It is literally spun up division to copy the most valuable company in the world. We shame Huawei and these Chinese companies for copying, but look in our own backyard.

The reason so many are forced to rent is because they cannot buy. At the end of the day, the population is mostly housed, but only a very small percentage benefit enormously from it because they own all the property.
Usually, speech to children is considered separately.

I'd consider myself a libertarian free speech absolutist. I don't think anything should be banned from Netflix. I do think what teachers say in the classroom should be carefully controlled and parents should have a lot of control over what speech their children are exposed to more generally (e.g. filters on Netflix), because children almost by definition find it extremely difficult to separate truths from untruths and are much more impressionable than adults. Part of being a parent is deciding how to raise your kids and what beliefs to teach them. That's one reason totalitarian states always try so hard to indoctrinate children - it's easy, and they're a weak spot through which adults can be attacked in turn (see the sordid history of children being convinced to spy on their parents).

A big part of the fights in the USA at the moment and in culture more generally are about this sort of underhanded tactic - where one ideology that's losing the battle of ideas tries to short circuit it by indoctrinating children. Arguably that's where CRT came from. It's not a coincidence it emerged from academia, a place filled with impressionable teenagers.
I was all ready to criticize you for blowing things out of proportion but then I checked the numbers. Damn, small aircraft create 50% of airborne lead contamination.

Really enjoyed this game.

My real favorite is Space Empires 3 though. Anyone else?

The multiplayer for that one is especially great. A few friends and I still play it to this day, it's a blast.

And? They were presumably paying at one point their own developers full time salaries while working on Jest and now Jest has been cast off to somewhere else and suddenly any expected future contributors deserve, in comparison, pennies? All while still using Jest themselves internally.
Russian troll detected.
This is such a great story all-around. I've long been fascinated by the Clippers, and find this true story far, far better than fiction like Ken Follett's Night Over Water. It would make a great movie!

A national rule can be targeted for this specific domain and not rob states of their other powers.
I can't say about other countries, but in France most (if not all) house insurance come with a “legal assistance ” clause which covers this kind of stuff. Depending on the company ou can either use their lawyer or find your own and have fees reimbursed by your insurance (of course the fees are subject to validation by your insurance and the maximum amount depends on your contract)
Be honest with the next interviewer, tell them what happened and tell them you don't think you're a good cultural fit for the organization if they have that kind of person on staff.

The next interviewer can either try to explain away the behavior "Yes, that guy's a jerk, but don't let him taint your perception of the organization", or maybe they'll say "Yeah, this is the no-nonsense culture we like around here, if you can't take criticism, then you're probably not a good fit".

Either way you'll have more information about whether or not you want to work there.

Pixel Tablet
the idea is that device traffic would be inspected by the OS via some subsystem that encrypts/decrypts application traffic. I'm talking out of my butt here, I am not an OS person or a dev.

I imagine instead of the web browser encrypting traffic before sending it on the wire, it would send it in the clear to a process on the OS ("Endec"? I'm trying to think of some word like codec or modem for encrypt/decrypt).

This process would be the hub for all endpoint encrypt-decrypt operations, and the place where all apps would trust to do the work. That way, inspection tools desired by the user (or in corp land, the admin) could hook in and do filtering.

Applications that don't want this, such as say, Signal or other hyper-privacy tools, could choose their own trust store and bypass it, if permitted by the OS admin. Otherwise, corps could block raw access to the NIC.
If my comment seems to approve of a government reaching for emergency powers 'whenever' then I worded it poorly.

There needs to be an actual, dire emergency, and the law should lay out what the extra powers are, the process by which a government obtains them, and their duration.
Ascendancy is an example of how gameplay limitations ruin the game experience.

In Master of Orion I you could have huge fleets of warships roaming through the space.

In Master of Orion II (significantly less successful if you ask me) there were a mechanics of "control" or smth along these lines, which limited you from having a large number of large warships by ramping up upkeep. I guess you could live with that.

Ascendancy is nice, but: You can only have N+1 ships, where N is number of your planets. This means you need to spend 90% of time developing planets (pushing "next building") with no ways to utilize your industrial output when not building a ship replacement. Boredom of managing insignificant colonies by hand is what ruins many 4X games.

It would be an understandable limitation if Ascendancy was a board game, but in a video game it's just a sign that game designers could not balance the gameplay.

Otherwise, great game. The music and the races are awesome. Tech tree is very funny.
I keep my resume in an OpenOffice OTP file and also maintain a LinkedIn profile. When I am ready to look for a new position, I'll update the resume using information from LinkedIn since it keeps track of things like duration and employer information pretty easily. From there, as I look for jobs, I'll customize the resume based on the new employer and what they are looking for, export in a format that they can read (usually PDF, especially if they don't specify anything), submit it, and move onto the next job listing

This page is the first time I'm hearing of JSONResume. Honestly, it sounds excessive and only useful for applicant tracking systems (which can be useful if you're in an industry that's ATS-heavy, which mine is not)
It wasn't, though.
SMAC is one of my all time favorites, and I still have an install directory I move around from computer to computer to play now and then.

As another commenter said, Stellaris is a great newer one. A bit rough on initial launch, but well shaped up after patches and dlc.

The Endless X series is another one, but personally they never clicked for me, feeling oddly soulless and empty.
Pilot student here. I’m not floored at all, for two reasons: my own experience, and selection bias.

I once maintained level on a Cessna equivalent with zero training besides video games (I loved flight simulators back in the late 90s), and a tiny bit of model flying (I flew little and crashed a lot). Maintaining altitude wasn’t trivial, but maintaining level was dead easy. I’m sure I could have managed a very slight bank turn safely. Now landing… some years later I got 5 hours of gliding. My first landing went well enough that the instructor didn’t have to take control. If my instructor got sick instead, I would give my former self 30% chance of avoiding injury or death. 75% if a trained instructor with a similar glider could tail me and observe me more closely (and I think there were). Never ever gonna risk such folly of course, but I wouldn’t have been doomed either.

Then there’s selection bias: we hear of this because it is a feat. No question about that. Now let’s not forget about all the people that tried this and died. For those we’ll only hear of the pilot getting sick and the plane crashing. Or just the plane crashing. Those make for less impressive headlines.
I honestly prefer having these spaces. It forces tools to actually cope with them instead of pretending spaces don't exist and breaking when they do.
I've been leading the adoption of vitest at my company. It's not perfect, and there are some bugs but the performance gain is truly incredible. We have about 150 snapshots for various UI components and vitest can crunch through all of them in about 5 seconds, whereas it would take Jest 3-4X that time.

It's also nice if you're running a "vite stack", you don't have to pull in babel and a bunch of other libs just to make Jest work.

Remnants of the Precursors
Pretty sure Patagonia is trying to make their clothing only plastic so that it's easier to recycle - recycling a homogeneous material is not too hard, but recycling a blend of polyester and cotton (or whatever) is uneconomical.
Also pilot here, agreed.

I suspect there is a little more to the story. On the LiveATC audio, he was giving descent rates and asking tower/approach for headings. Didn't speak like a pilot but seemed to know more than a layperson. Maybe some aviation exposure but no flight time? Whatever the case, very well done by both him and ATC.
>And then want to ban the book "Maus", etc. etc.

No. Maus was removed from an 8th grade curriculum list because of graphic depictions of sexuality/violence/language, but the school board sought alternative, age-appropriate works to teach about the Holocaust with (<https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2022/01/27/why-did-ten...>). To say that Maus is "banned", and not any and every other book the board decides to not include on its curriculum, is inaccurate.
I also developed celiac disease recently - it is tough to deal with. Since diagnosis, meal planning, shopping and cooking have become tasks that require a lot of mental energy. Normal things like going out to a show or commuting to work are logistically difficult when you’re unable to eat at any restaurants. I am trying to get a WFH job to curb some of this difficulty. Good luck with everything.

If you come from applied math, then numerics! For structural analysis, fluid dynamics, robotics, machine learning, etc. If you asked this question week ago, I'd probably hire you.
I disagree that so many things in tech need to be intentional spoonerisms.

It's still "phishing" to me no matter what the medium.
This was probably easier than to refuel and successfully land in Top Gun on NES.
Absolutely. This is the point where I think we shift from astronomy to astrology!
My initial thought was to give adults an adult service, but that also means adults need to provide information (which a lot of adults wouldn't be okay with) so they can filter the kids out. Then you'd still have to run the proposal on every service kids and adults have access to. Then on top of that, you still need to filter out cases where its just minors, but at the same time you can't filter all of them because it might be a case of sexual violence between minors.

It's a headache no matter how I look at it.
Hah, you can just press M (I think it was M?) to automate the management of colonies. Never managed planets by hand as it's super boring and a bit pointless as you said. In general the late game is a bit bland as the AI is not very good even with the patch they delivered, but still it's quite a fun game and the 3D view was really innovative at the time.
The South Butt
Sure, Fortnite is a great example. If it can well run via web (which is a current workaround via Xbox Cloud Gaming), Apple can’t take their 30% cut. Same with Roblox and other games. Top paid apps like Procreate could do the same.

Apple and Google could lose tens of billions in revenue if they make the web too good too fast.
Irritated, because my comp was set a long time ago and involves RSUs?

Otherwise, my feeling is that this entire industry is ridiculously bubbly and "the stock market is just a graph of rich guys' feelings", money isn't real, etc. etc.
Anti-SLAPP has nothing to do with that case. "The South Butt" was actually producing and selling clothing with a logo/slogan very similar to TNF, but even then the two parties settled until "The South Butt" violated the agreement. Anti-SLAPP is about protecting journalism/protest/speech, not for-profit competitors using another brand's branding (even if in parody).

Wikipedia Article:

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

If they had just stuck to the name, "The South Butt," I genuinely believe they would have been fine. It is the inverted logo and "Never Stop Relaxing" that caused them to lose. Parody protections have always been curtailed for commercial competition.
Man I'm making a big assumption here but for someone who hasn't experienced a plane crashing into their home you seem to have a lot of angst for something that doesn't affect you in the scheme of things. Are you self aware enough to ask yourself if you're foisting your own baggage onto the shoulders of people and things you view as outsiders? Let me be the voice of reason here, my man. You're the only person that has the power to make you chill the fuck out. If you want to represent whatever tribe you hail from as better than conservatives, the elderly, or small planes I guess, you gotta change your attitude. The only thing launching into a weird tirade about airplanes, lead, and the elderly over an article about a guy landing a plane makes you seem kinda narcissistic, entitled, and maybe even a little bit mentally ill yourself.
Your life would only get better the second you decide living in a haze of anger over shit you can't change is no means to an end. If you're so focused on that anger, you're not focused on the things you can change to make your world better. Please, chill out, go pick up trash in the park or something. I promise it'll make you feel better.
How well does this scale to hundreds of pages? I found Jekyll and others can start to slow down here during page generation where it can take several seconds to generate not that many pages, especially if you're using a lot of template features. It's part of the reason Hugo is my default as it's so fast.
I wouldn’t put Machiavellian traits in the same sentence as social skills.

Office requires something closer to street smarts than true Machiavellian traits.

Often simply knowing when to watch your back is enough
Not to mention Google Wallet, an "amazing new" product by the same name of an existing product they keep renaming and haven't finished retiring yet. They could just say they were updating Google Wallet or whatever it's called now, but I guess you don't get promoted for that.

I laughed when the Pixel guy (before announcing the tablet) said they don't usually announce products so far in advance. Has he seen Google I/O?
> So you didn't use SQLite then? Because RocksDB + Kafka is not similar at all.

To me, I could make the connection in the sense that just like sqlite, rocksdb is an embedded store, while Kafka can be used to build a replicated log (log device).

> If you just needed distributed SQL because a single instance wasn't enough then there are already plenty of choices...

Well, that was GP's point, too? In addition, they mention that existing DBMS like Postgres have way more breath and depth than a replicated sqlite can ever hope to have (which isn't really a controversial assertion at all, tbh).
Developing Open Source Software Is a Political Act
The next few paragraphs hint at his culpability, the DOJ should act based on all of the evidence:

> Some of the records that the Jan. 6 committee has received had been ripped to shreds and taped back together, reflecting the former president’s habit of tearing up documents. In addition, he removed more than a dozen boxes of presidential records from the White House when he left office, which the National Archives believes contained classified material, according to a person briefed on the matter.
A lot of the coasters have pervasive guilt and a sense of inadequacy, if you dig deep enough. Not all though.
From Dijkstra:

>The tools we use have a profound and devious influence on our thinking habits, and therefore on our thinking abilities.

Obviously you should use the right tool for the job, however in the realm of programming languages someone might find a language's model of code structure better than other languages and more in tune with his/her way of thinking.
My memory is generally horrible, but I've learned that my ability to recall things improves greatly if I write them down.

I learned this from maintaining a mood journal for the last year and realizing that I can recall events in my life much more easily than before I did this.

This is also how I learned to program. I rewrite examples in tutorials instead of copying and pasting, and I read things instead of watching videos. It has served me extremely well. I can still mostly implement fundamental data structures without hitting Hacker Rank, for example, despite not having done them in quite some time.

I also don't bother remembering things I can delegate to memory aids, like my email, calendars, or the Reminders app on my iPhone (which is a ROCK SOLID app; kudos to the developers at Apple who maintain this lifesaving tool). This applies to phone calls, shopping lists, personal events, etc. I said that my memory was horrible earlier because without these aids, I will forget (and have forgotten) stuff all of the time!

ymmv, of course. Everyone is different!
No reason an XMPP client wouldn't be forced to include this as well. Reminder that iMessage and Signal are encrypted communications but are surely a target of this sort of lawmaking.
I imagine YC companies (and similar startups) are salivating right now at the thought of RSU packages dropping like rocks.

It is very hard for small startups to offer something comparable to 200k salary and 200k a year in RSUs.

But if those packages are now worth 200/70, maybe a salary of 200k and stock options that might be worth a couple million look more more appealing, especially if someone is tired of a big company.

I have a few friends who have expressed this. They wanted to leave the bigcos, but felt like they couldn't because of the money they'd be walking away from. Now they said they're looking at fun startups since their Bigco stock grant is worth so much less.
Thank you for sharing your story. I found it educational and will work to emulate some of your described behavior.

I bet that lunch made you feel great!
So you want to run a virtual event
It’s complicated is an understatement ;)

I assume most people have no visibility of the effort of hundreds of engineers who work on behalf of the big smartphone companies tuning for what happens in the image pipeline between camera/raw Bayer data to what your app receives.

There is a reason the quality of pictures in phones has got so good - lots of tuning, quite a bit of magic, as well as software and hardware co-optimization.
That is a tu quoque fallacy.
Except Apple and others have already been caught colluding to stop engineers from making higher salaries.
Maybe they'll launch a new messaging service.
I popped in for a few minutes to verify something. I'm ... over this whole annual what's new presentation stuff. I just don't care anymore. And honestly the three presenters I saw didn't even seem like they rehearsed at all. They just read from the prompter and tried to put excitement in their voice at the same time and it just fell flat.
Von Neumann had a memory that was considered exceptional even amongst those of the various geniuses of his time. He's one of very few humans regarded as having had close to a photographic memory.
