> if someone doesn't know Go, then can still get up to speed and use the language extremely proficiently within a few months

Which combined with a new code base is very stressful. but this avoids the main point, which is

> Python has a very bad rap as a backend language,

its not a front end language really(discounting the transpiled JS web stuff). I know people dont like it, and that's fair enough, but its as good as virtually any other language for "backend stuff". Its perfectly possible to write low latency high scaling code in python, just as it is in go and rust.

Despite what people say, code is just a logic brush, how you hold it, and how toy paint with it determines how pretty the picture is.

Yes there are inherent defects that each language has, but once again part of being proficient is know how not to blow your feet off. If Goethe can make wonderful prose in german, you too can make good scalable backend code in python.
You need to know the product and if the product is software, you should be familiar with its quirks or can chat with developers at that level.

You don’t have to know how code works to know something about how it works. Ideally, you should be able to give directions to your QA person on how to get started interactively testing new features, etc.

Leading developers requires tech knowledge, leading product managers requires strong product knowledge as well as an understanding of what’s possible and what might not be possible, which one develops over time learning an app.

Might not align well with the above statements, but I recommend the following books for product folks:

Yes, we're currently using ARM32, and I'm actually working on porting the course to the Raspberry Pi 4.
I read this in my late teenage years. I can safely say it had a great impact on me and how I view the world. It was especially jarring as I was still in high school and the narrative I was being taught / had been taught was quite... well it left out a lot of things.
Doesn’t the rest of FAANG sell subscriptions to zero-marginal-cost digital goods as well? Is Adobe doing something different?
The differential equations which give rise to physical chaotic systems operate on quantum states interacting with each other at the atomic level, so there has to be a link of some kind.
If your primary concern is reducing horror (which I think is not reasonable from a utilitarian basis), take it up with the media.
De Niro broke out here and there. Cape Fear was a well performed movie from him, for example.
The densities are completely different and result in different patterns of use. Bird feeders distribute large amounts of food from a small space. Large flocks of different types of birds gather at feeders and may fight for access. There is a big difference between a feeder having plenty of seed and a tree having maybe some bugs and seeds on its many branches.
That's exactly what I did and I've been having a ton of fun. "Okay, I'm not ready for this person yet, but there's all these other things around me, let's go explore that and I should be leveled up and just better at the game/controls by the time I come back." This means absolutely no grinding. The game also taught me to not fight everyone and to focus on skills rather than runes. The game is unfair, so you have to be unfair back.
I think at least part of the objection would be to Palantir being on the list. They got into all kinds of hot water for helping Trump administration do various unethical things (I don't remember the specifics)
I suspect whatever you have in mind for "ammunition limits" is not even slightly reasonable under careful consideration.

It's even worse than that because just a very small group (dozens, or even a single individual) can really screw over an entire system because doing things digitally is so cheap and easy. For example the world has 8 billion people, and sending every single one of them an email message (assuming everyone has an email address, which they don't) is easy, cheap, and can be done relatively quickly. With just 100 spammers on the entire planet your email system would still be screwed.

I've often wondered... what is the most advanced civilization (human or not) that could have existed some number of years back and not left evidence, or the evidence was destroyed through natural processes, or the evidence would remain in places we can't/haven't discovered?

Conversely, at each known stage of human civilization, how long will it be before evidence of that civilization becomes unknowable through future archaeology?
It's not merely about the performance, it's about the management layer on top, support contracts, enterprise sales etc.

I haven't made up my mind yet on the general topic, or rather, how to realize my personal view on this.

I don't want megacorps to take on the role of a government or law enforcement, but I do think there should be societal obligations and expectations towards corporations to use their property and power in a positive way for society. Current law is the overall minimum boundry, not the goal.

My current thought is, that this is mostly a matter of expectations, not actual change from the current state of things. If actors get away from our expectations, they should not be punished as if they broke a law, but it should prompt us to prepare one so it aligns with our expectations.

Maybe it is more a 'please don't force us to legislate every little thing' wishful thinking stance?
Very misleading title.

Title

> People in homes with handguns more likely to be killed

Actual Article

> people who live with handgun owners are shot to death at a higher rate than those who don’t have such weapons at home.

People with stairs in the home more likely to fall down stairs.

People with pools in the home more likely to drown.

People with guns in the home are more likely to be shot.

None of this is surprising.
I'm an older engineer and having been in your shoes, here is my advice:

The best way to get a pay raise is to change your job. This is how the industry works.

Many people fail to realize that their relationship with the company is a contractual one and nothing else. Sure, your coworkers are most likely pleasant to be around but that does not change the _nature_ of a corporation. It exists to simply generate profits for itself and has no other goals.

This is why getting emotionally attached to your work is a mistake because sooner or later it will harm you in some way (burnouts, preventing career growth, slowing financial growth,..). Companies know this of course and usually use it to take advantage of people. What do you think all those ping-pong tables, free foods, team building "exercises", lectures about how we are in the trenches together, etc are supposed to achieve? All those are meant to amplify one's emotional investment to a soulless corporation.

Still not convinced? Just look a the CEO of bolt right now with his emotionally charged war speech as the ship is sinking.. Lord knows what he is saying to his team internally to squeeze a few extra cents out of them before the end.

But I digress; Yes, you should quit if you are unhappy. Don't go to your boss, don't "discuss it", all that will do is paint a cross on your back if they find out.

Start interviewing, as soon as you have a position you like, hand in your resignation letter and rotate off. No feelings hurt, nothing unprofessional this simply business.

Remember that you are a professional and your health and happiness of yourself, loved ones and family members is what takes priority over everything else.

Best of luck!
They killed it mainly because there was a dictate to unify around the emerging Google+ (I'm pretty sure there is a public source for this, but I fail to find it right now, otherwise I would link it here).

I'm not saying they didn't have spam problems, but that's the kind of thing they certainly had resources to solve. They already had such systems due to Gmail, and even independent XMPP operators have a pretty good handle on XMPP spam these days without even a fraction of the resources available to Google. It was more a matter of priorities du jour for the company.
There are not many anti-capitalist options in the market, if you want to talk about systemic impact
That works for those living somewhere with good rule of law.

I live in USA, so a letter crafted by IRS or child support enforcement to a financial institution is all that is needed to wrongly steal my funds. After my funds are stolen, it is difficult to fight back. Lack of rule of law.
It sounds like we agree. I dont have a fixed definition for low overhead.

I just know that im not interested if I see a non-profit with 50% marketing expenses, 30% in other operational expenses, and passes through 20% to the beneficiaries (e.g. medical supplies, research grants, or whatever the stated purpose is).

I would call that high overhead.

This sounds extreme, but some large non-profits actually have numbers like this.
If your skills are relevant and good, you ought to be able to have way more impact on a political campaign than a 17k donation, which at most levels of developed world politics barely scratches the surface and isn't going to teach you anything about politics either.

It's a little different if the volunteering is something low impact or something you're way out of your depth in, or if the cause wanting money has a way of getting very tangible rewards (which are quantifiably greater than whatever free time you can spare on it)
The article is not talking about finding a job at the Tax Authority, far from it...It's talking about this scandal:

True, you have a point. Personally, if I wasn't fairly compensated I would just leave. I can understand that there could be situations that changing jobs might not be straight forward.
The notion is quaint that there exists Knowledge Man Is Not Meant To Know. If it's something humans can find out, it's better that it be right out there in the open so that the danger can be met head on.
There's nothing actually wrong with this idea but it does read almost as satire. It sounds like an Onion article.
There are tons of stoves which have their controls on the top. It is an incredibly common feature. You're practically arguing there aren't cars with four doors because you've only personally driven coupes.

Lets compare two pretty similar stoves and see how they compare to my 3 points above:

1. Which one looks easier to clean, the one that's literally a flat plane of glass, or the one with six protrusions which would need to be removed to clean under, which then need to be individually cleaned themselves?

2. It looks like this one actually has some kind of lock function, so that's nice. Not all knob-based stoves have this idea. Looking around at other stoves this feature is somewhat uncommon, but not ultra rare.

3. Once again, one is truly a flat plane of glass, while the other has six protrusions on it which you then have to deal with when moving things around the counter. Its nice not having those dials in the way when you're just trying to use that space as a counter in a pinch.
One benefit of JWT as specced is that those APIs you pass it on to don't need to share an encryption key, which makes rolling the key without causing downtime impractical. With OIDC, for example, frequent key rotation helps you create a better security posture.

The benefit of signing versus encryption is many services are able to verify the authenticity without needing a shared secret. That includes untrusted services, which is frequently the case with OAuth 2.

You can encrypt a JWT token, but at that point it's not semantically a JWT anymore. It can be any JSON at all and doesn't need to match the JWT structure. The first and last parts of a JWT are a signing algorithm and signature, respectively.
Oh, that's what dogleash was saying: only the people who are laughably wrong are willing to talk about it. The people who do understand are the ones who are staying quiet.

>If I sell stock through my stockbroker, I can have funds in a bank account within hours.

Wait, what? I'm pretty sure you're exaggerating there. Stocks have a two day settlement period. (I know because that knowledge gets firehosed every time Robinhood/GME comes up.)

Last year when I sold stock in one account (Wealthfront), for the proceeds to deposited into another, it took four business days (edit: using ACH). When I complained on social media, my finance friends said that was typical. Now, it might have been faster with a wire, but it's not the hours you talk about.

>That's not a limitation of USD, it's a limitation of sleazy crypto exchanges.

It would still be an issue if you want to convert to USD purely on the blockchain because you're interacting with multiple smartcontracts. The USD would need to be a cryptocurrency that lives there.
Why not having language icons. Sometimes they correspond to flags sometimes not. The point being that a colorful icon is a better GUI indicator than a two letter gray di-gramm. After all, we have emojis for pretty much everything under the Sun.

There are already ETFs which hold precious metals and other commodities. But most commodities aren't really "stable" stores of value themselves. Large quantities of wheat or oil can only be stored for a few years at most before they start to rot or decay. Storage is also quite expensive, especially when you run out of big oil tanks and have to charter tankers to hold the overflow.
That's also true. Most organizations don't have a real "tech lead" type of position just management and senior devs and the lines blur.
Yes. And if something organic blocks it, it means it likely does it through absorbing it rather than reflecting it.
Our software[1] got broken by a kernel change a few years ago. The experience was quite interesting.

We were making use of `/proc/PID/pagemap`, which is a kernel-generated file that previously would show the physical addresses of all the pages in a process's address space. Unfortunately, with the Rowhammer exploit, exposing this information - even for one's own processes - to unprivileged users went from being harmless to a security risk.

The first we saw of the change was when newer kernels started reporting zeros for all physical addresses, unless we ran as root. We raised this the LKML, explaining that we'd been relying on this feature to implement a somewhat esoteric optimisation.

Linus replied very helpfully - the security fix trumped userspace compatibility but he could see a secure way of getting us the information we really needed, given the technique we'd described. He invited us to submit a kernel patch and gave a few hints about potential gotchas.

I did work one up but the kernel community actually jumped on it as an opportunity to do more cleanup, so I ended up just signing off on the patch they produced. It was all a remarkably smooth and efficient process.

Not quite what you are looking for, but the Malazan series has some stories spanning extremely large time scales through which multiple intelligent species evolve into existence and fade away.

It is by far, the best series I've read. Book 1 is hard to get into, and doesn't reward the reader as much, but stick with the series. It's worth it.

He throws that at some point in the article out of the blue ...
To your point on the Model 3, I think you forgot to unselect the 'including incentives' button on the Model 3. The actual MSRP for the 356 mi (not 334, 334 is with the 19" wheels) Model 3 is $56k.

In comparison, the i4 is 55k MSRP for the base one, certain not double the price (at least, at MSRP).

That said, I see some things I see as important differences at those MSRP points:

* Model 3 has their basic autopilot included in that price. BMW for adaptive cruise features and parking adds another $2400. Also, BMW assistant seems much, much more limited than the Tesla system based on the description.

* Model 3 includes their 'premium' audio, that's another $875 from BMW.

* Model 3 includes heated seats/steering wheel, lumbar support, etc. That's a $950 add-on from BMW.

* BMW offers ventilated front seats, which is not offered by Tesla on the Model 3; that said, it's a $350 option. plus requires the $1.5k leather option as well.

* Model 3 is AWD. BMW is RWD only. AWD only comes on the m50 model, which also has lower range (and more expensive by 10k)

* Model 3 is much faster (5.4 for BMW, 4.2 for Tesla)

* BMW allows 4 different synthetic color choices for free. Model 3 non-black (white) is a $1000. BMW also offers leather colorways for $1500

* BMW offers dash trim options for free. Tesla one is tied to their seat color choice

* Fancy headlights are $1000 extra from BMW. Standard with a Tesla

* "Drive recorder" is $100 from BMW. Free w/ Tesla

Some of those are pretty substantial differences, and may be another $5k on top. That's also not counting any potential dealer markups that might be in place.

You can argue about BMW vs Tesla quality, but if you're purely talking feature-set, Tesla seems to be winning handily. That said, there are certain things that may be really important to a BMW buyer (colorways, customization) that just are not offered by Tesla and could be a deal-breaker.
People should pursue risk mitigation strategies which are efficient at the margins, if at all.

I would capture marginal utility by making life more risky and less fearful, so I'm certainly not going to accept the piss-poor risk reduction returns of going after assault rifles.

Do some research on who is actually dying, who is killing, and with what weapons. I think no honest and well-adjusted person who does that can agree with popular gun control initiatives.

>You can, but it requires discipline and/or tooling.

Pretty much every language comes with a way of exposing a limited API to other parts of the application. Java, as an example, requires you to specifically export the parts of your module that other modules are allowed to consume. If you only export a public API then you've achieved the same benefit as a microservice except now it's type checked and doesn't encounter the pitfalls of a network call.

I have wanted to test drive a Polestar 2, but of course you can't just go to any Volvo dealership to do that and the nearest Polestar dealership to me is at least 6 hours away (which seems a bit much for just a test drive).

I guess Geely and the Volvo Car Group is hoping to sink the Volvo badge because presumably they have to cross-license with the original Volvo Automotive Group (now entirely focused on trucking)? The Volvo/Polestar switch/split seems goofy/weird and doesn't give a lot of confidence in either brand right now, in addition to over-complicating the dealership networks.
Its fine, just don't use VS for Mac. VS Code or Rider is the only sane workflow IMO.

Cross compilation is just as good as Go, and they are just starting to have the ability to generate native code instead of a wrapped runtime.

A novel human influenza would be way more devastating than covid was. Sure, we know how to make influenza vaccines, but millions could die before vaccines rolled out.

And influenza kills healthy young adults in addition to the very young and very old. That is devastating from a demographic standpoint. Covid’s preying on the sick and elderly was tragic, but not a threat that could destabilize countries from a population standpoint.

There was a period of time where if someone signed in using the Google+ chat client, they would appear online but wouldn't receive any messages you sent them from the XMPP side. That was entirely a Google implementation thing (they had stopped maintaining XMPP interoperability at that point).
There's stuff like Openshift and Rancher as commercial Kubernetes distributions as well as a lot of Kubernetes "addons" like weave, portworx, etc. Monetisation of Kubernetes is totally possible.

Docker failed because they tried to compete with Kubernetes, lost and then didn't have a clue how to find a niche where they could enrich the Kubernetes ecosystem.
