That's not the case at all though. Conservatives don't deny racism exists, they call out things that leading progressives say such as:

“The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.” ~Ibram X. Kendi

So a conservative reads that and thinks it's not only crazy, but literally racist in the context of how Kendi proposes it should drive current policy. Whereas a progressive reads that and says yes, we need to discriminate against "privileged groups" to solve past discrimination. Those are two very different worldviews, and has nothing to do with believing whether or not racism exists. In fact, it requires progressives to use a completely different definition of the word racist to not eat their own tail.

>If you discuss homophobia as existing, it's progressive.

Again, nobody denies homophobia exists. But progressives are known to paint with a very broad brush (ie. "everyone who doesn't agree with me is a Nazi"). Similar with trans issues, where many people who say maybe biological males shouldn't compete against biological females, will have progressives brand you transphobic (and probably a Nazi).

You see this same overshooting across the board on many issues that would actually have wider support, but they go off the deep end with their craziness.
Not a good article at all. It's very brief, and the content doesn't appear to match the "academics alone" blurb.

The article is mainly about elite colleges reinstating or not reinstating requiring an SAT score for admissions. I'll admit to taking both the ACT and the SAT in 1978 or 1979 and getting rejected by MIT. But I doubt there's a connection between a single, 4-hour test and "academics".

To be fair, async (and generators, closures and Iterator) can expand to fairly hairy types with innocuous looking code. A think I do to simplify the output is to rely on `impl Trait` or `Box<dyn Trait>` to erase the type at strategic points, but that's working around my inability to find a way to make rustc figure out whether the full type is relevant or not right now.

> A physicist or pure Mather social looks at Navier-Stokes and says, “Oh, we know how that works, nothing to do there I guess”

I don't know if that's the best example, it's one of the Millennium Prize problems to prove that smooth solutions always exist to the Navier-Stokes equations. Pure mathematicians do, by and large, still consider proving the existence of things to be "something".

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying here.
I did this back in the early 2000s, when Asterisk first became really popular. My plan was to create an Asterisk PBX in my house and hook the payphone to that and be able to use it to receive and make VoIP calls. Unfortunately, the project never got off the ground because I bought a phone 1) without any keys to the locks and 2) without the proper software and interface cables to be able to program it. I ended up selling it again on eBay for what I paid for it.

I think compensations outside the US will continue to increase. The current decade is going to be a good time to be a SWE in a Low CoL country. Top talents in the US will continue to be well compensated. The one who will see their salaries decrease or stagnate and opportunities leak outside the country will be the average US developer who can't justify being paid > 50% more.

Except for one: Ashton-Tate Framework. "Emacs for business" gets you within a stone's throw of how flexible and powerful Framework was back in the day. Of course its UI wouldn't fly in today's world, but back then (early 80s) it was a revelation.
I did really enjoy this post, but is it just a tiny bit weird how casual he is about repeatedly committing fraud? Not asking for some grand apology (lord knows the crap I did as a kid), but the post is written like defrauding an ISP is just a normal and fine thing to do. Am I off base here?
I don’t know if I enjoyed the idea or the writing more, but I’m very happy I read this. Thank you.
2020’s numbers are going to be hard to beat I expect that to be a “recent” baseline for a while. The article later claims that it is believed that Tech Companies are between 200%-400% overstaffed and companies have suddenly shifted from hiring sprees to layoffs or hiring halts. While it’s not presenting mass layoffs, it is displaying the sudden change in sentiment.

I suspect that software engineers, as broad as that term encompasses, will eventually see the effects of pay and work which up to now they've been largely insulated from. More work being handed off to you for a minimal or nonexistent pay bumb. Or slower wage growth than we've been accustomed to seeing. That's my prediction anyways.

My other point is that, based upon the revenue and profit generated per employee for many of these mega corporations, software engineers should be paid more, but I think lately we have astronomical pay relative to other industries in the 3-10 year experience mark for most of the roles in the labor market.

It is not hard to tell my current manager that I would like to stay because coinbase rescinds the offer.

Back when I was a kid I had alot of fun using methods to get free phone calls on these things. Like, beyond just red-boxing or whatever (Past that time).

In Japan, they would just accept DTMF tones from anything that would generate them. There was all these people using hacked cards that they installed countermeasures against which were hilarious because people using these hacked yakuza cards would keep one foot in the doorway in case the fabled alarm would go off, i knew a guy who did this thinking naaah it would never happen to me. NOPE happens to him, he had to squeeze himself out of that phone booth and run after a red light started flashing and the door slammed shut on his shoe... Literally just playing the DTMF tones into the handset would have gotten past that on every 'grey phone' out there (The ones that advertise ISDN connectivity). Wouldn't be surprised if that still works if they still have those phones anywhere.

The other way I did it in another country was a telephone company test line (toll free!) which would give you 30 seconds of silence then a dial tone (presumably 'remote'). From this dial tone you could call anywhere in the world. We got some list that phonelosers used to make and called places like the president of Kenya.

This guy mentions using a payphone which accepts incoming calls to get the internet as a kid in the 90s. Those which still rang on incoming were mostly gone by my time but a few were still configured to act like that. Was fun to sit down the road with a cellphone and watch people be scared to pick up the line after watching it ring for a few seconds.
I think it's just another unfortunate manifestation of the phenomenon that Big Tech loves to exploit --- that people seem to care very little about privacy in general, or perhaps have been guided gently in the direction of doing so by those who stand to profit the most strongly from it.

In your specific example, there could be a slightly more positive reason --- proof that you do actually have a job at where you claim to be working.
I absolutely will not use Windows in my personal life. I've used Linux on computers I own since 2002. Count yourself lucky to be able to get in with a user agent switcher. I've seen corporate websites that go further than looking at user agent to decide to not allow OSes or browsers in.

Companies doing this are shooting themselves in the foot by not letting the market dictate pay. They either will waste a ton of money by giving everyone Bay Area-level pay, or will just be unable to hire in high cost of labor locations without compromising talent quality.
I feel Netflix used to look like a tech companies couscous they where the first that use the new medium, and expand to the world market whit easy.
But in the long run they aren't, you (regular joe,jhon,juan, karen, maria,Raphaël) don't care whats the tech stack of Netflix and not as much for the ux, you care about content, and now you have all the platform who produce content (hbo, cbs, disney), they want to maximize they profits, and they know how to creates long term fans, sustain numbers of rating, Netflix don't.
They focus on license media, and short dopamine hits who work for 5 years, but now nobody care anymore.

So, the really cool part of this is the raw sensor used, I believe, supports up to 256 levels of brightness (I could be wrong on this, been a long time since I read some hacking articles), but the GB Camera itself limits it down to several because of display limitations!

This camera and sensor was so ahead of its time that it blows my mind!
In theory, if manufacturers charge an inflated MSRP, a competitor who doesn't will get the sale instead.

In practice ... well, maybe everyone makes more money if no-one undercuts each other too much. Is it collusion/price-fixing/anti-competitive? Or is it just good business?
Corwin Ford came into our area, put all of the other dealers out of business over the last 10 years and hold forth with terrible prices and service. I avoid them at all cost.

The dealer model (not just for cars) may have been a “good thing” once upon a time. When I talk to older generations, they always seem taken with the idea of a “good dealer”, someone to “take care of you.” But by and large (there are some exceptions), dealer model seems to have generally become less mutually beneficiary. In most domains, I loathe them.

I do completely agree with your advice of using `Arc`s. But unfortunately, sometimes it gets very tedious to deal with all these `Arc`s: https://github.com/teloxide/teloxide/blob/ec1d41220c51872cf9....

It also blurs the advantage of Rust as a lifetime validation tool if you use reference counting anyways. But it seems that it's the only viable approach for async at the moment.
I bought my Volvo C40 EV this way, though it wasn't exactly seamless and the overall price I ended up paying wasn't as clear as it could have been, though it was all discounts in the end.

I put in the order through Volvo online, and they confirmed the build sometime the middle of last year.

Volvo had an online order tracker, that shows progress from order acceptance to the car being in production, etc. But it was never actually updated. I was a little worried the car wasn't going to show up before my existing lease was up in June. So I contacted Volvo customer support in early March and they surprised me by telling me the car was going to be delivered to the dealer the next week. I had heard nothing from anyone in months, so that was a big surprise.

I called the dealer, who I'd never talked to until that point, and they confirmed the car was coming in the next week and setup an appointment to pick it up. Because used car prices are crazy they could also buy out my leased ICE Volvo and give me a bit of money back for it.

So the price I paid (another lease) ended up including the new C40 at MSRP, minus trade-in, minus CA EV credit, minus Federal EV credit, and minus a Volvo loyalty discount.

It wall worked out pretty well, but would have been nice if their order status page actually showed order status. I imagine it was a manual process to update it and somehow that wasn't getting done. I heard from other they had the same experience.
It seems like for a while there we all did shit like that. Or at least said we did.
It's not committing suicide - it's just fighting over the rights to the tide pool where the water receded entirely unaware of the tsunami barreling towards them.

When the software world can convincingly create new songs that sound like the hit songs people like, but sufficiently different to dodge copyright law, then it's game over.

We don't blink an eye at efforts to do things like complete one of Beethoven's symphonies. But that is going to be increased treading a thin line when it's something like create a new album by pseudo-David Bowie. And arguably over that line when it's extending the hit debut album of a living artist who just isn't recapturing that magic.

A wall of disruptive change is barreling towards the creative industry (as well as many other industries), and yet most are blissfully unaware, fighting over marginal changes to their status quo - maybe looking at demonstrations of what can be done today saying "that's neat, but it doesn't replace me" without properly looking at how quickly the other is improving.

Copyrights are about to become worthless, and so the fight over their management is going to be a short lived victory no matter who wins.

It's neat that your song went viral on TikTok, but that didn't get you any dosh.

"I just want to release songs" is great. Just release songs. Easy.

I've experienced (and still experience) plenty of racist jokes, and some very not-well-meaning diatribes in my travels. I've been told point blank by a girl that her father would kill her and me if she brought me home.

Is it upsetting sometimes? Sure. But it only shows certain people's ignorance. It's not my identity.

Let me try to show my perspective. I come from a culture that is painfully aware of its minority status and a long history of extreme violence directed against it. I believe that the story of our persecution is valuable insofar as it makes us tolerant of others. But I have always believed that the factions in my own ethnic group who use victimhood to explain failures or to bolster their personal identity are committing what might be called "stolen valor". And that it in fact not only reflects negatively on the group, but is deeply corrosive to an individual over time, to frame one's understanding of interactions with the other groups in that way.

In short, even if it's absolutely true, it's a crutch. And when you want to see it everywhere, you can.

There's a blessing in being born different, or in a minority. It makes it easier to separate good people from assholes.

The discussion of racist history and racial integration is extremely important in America. But it's ill served by allowing race to be a marker for our individual identity, or to project an assumption of identity on other people. My people came here to get away from that and, even with discrimination, even being hated by some, to succeed on their personal hard work and their individual merits. Let the haters hate. Be bigger and don't let them define you.
This is a real disappointment. Had a great job lined up at Coinbase that I was quite excited about, was in the middle of visa processing when this happened (why I had to quit my previous job, can’t have two visas in the US).

This was for a relatively senior position, not a fresh grad. Going to be hard to get a new job considering most of the other places have hiring freezes and I chose Coinbase over other offers (mostly from FAANG), these offers have probably been out for over a month now doubt i can resuscitate them.

On top of that most of the other offers were for SF, and my partner already has a job in NYC on this basis.

Nothing but pain. As much as I appreciate the severance, the damage being done here is immense.

> So much of this pain is caused by premature optimization.

Part of the problem is that Rust itself has such lofty aspirations to do it all (particularly "abstraction without overhead"), and is largely successful at that. So if I compromise on efficiency, it feels like my code is unworthy of the language it's written in.

Also, it's easy to feel that the slightest inefficiency puts us on a slippery slope to the bloat and slowness of something like Electron. I'd like to fight back against that bloat, the upgrade treadmill, and the rapid obsolescence that serves hardware makers but hurts poor people. On the one hand, there was good software in the 80s and 90s that made liberal use of heap-allocated, reference-counted objects with dynamic dispatch. On the other hand, there were slow, bloated desktop applications before the rise of Java, C#, Electron, etc. So I don't know where the right balance is at.

Children flourish better under stable parenting environments. They don't do as well under single parents or divorced parents --other things being equal.

I’d have no problems with it. If they were going to fire me over that, it’s their loss. And it’s not generally in Microsoft’s culture these days to be that petty.
It would. I'm saying they might have split the company into separate units in order to make it easier to spin off a new corporation.
Was Microsoft employee. Did not worry one bit about talking to a recruiter on LinkedIn. Your immediate management is unable to see or even get that data. You would have to trip an alarm elsewhere, trigger a major investigation, get legal sign-off and then maybe Microsoft would ask LinkedIn to pull that data. Even though MS owns LinkedIn, they are treated as a separate business entity. LinkedIn has its own security team etc.

Even MS's own recruiters will use LinkedIn to contact current MS employees for internal positions.

Tech is a double sided coin. Things like this have the power to be abused, even easily at times, but that doesn't mean they always will be.

Unfortunately, manufacturers' interests are often not aligned with retail customers' interests.

For example, with Tesla, the company optimizes delivery numbers of cars sold by sacrificing quality control, and their service center model is anemic and almost an afterthought, especially when it comes to addressing the QC issues their customers experience.

For every Tesla with 400k miles on them with a few thousand dollars in maintenance costs, there are a dozen cars that are delivered to customers like this one[1] from today on r/TeslaLounge, with 17 blatant issues upon delivery that QC should have caught early on in the process. There are stories on that subreddit about customers having to wait months, without a loaner car, for service centers to fix their cars or to even get service centers on the phone about the status of their repairs and cars.

Dealerships act as an intermediary customer that can perform QC, repairs, customization, service, maintenance, reject deliveries etc that manufacturers choose to skimp out on.

I hear a lot of instances of favoritism or nepotism in what you describe, possibly even corruption, but not much sounds like caste-based discrimination. "Incompetent person hires a lot of people they know instead of qualified candidates" is not really what's being discussed here, and I think Ms. Soundararajan would agree.

As a side note, this illustrates quite neatly why most of us who come from India are somewhat reluctant to talk about caste and explain how typical discrimination takes place, because Americans will try to slot it into their preconceived notions about class or race-based discrimination, and tend to jump to conclusions like you're doing here, complete with an "I have nothing against Indian people" disclaimer at the end (Really?).

So, a reasonable question is, "Well, what does a real instance of caste-based discrimination look like?"

Imagine that among a bunch of Indian candidates, an Indian hiring manager hires only Indian people who order vegetarian meals at lunch, and rejects any Indian candidate who orders a dish containing meat. Also, suppose you see this happening pretty frequently, and the manager inexplicably rejected some pretty great candidates, and the only common factor is that they ordered meat at lunch. Then it might be caste discrimination! (please please please note the operative word might, I really don't want to start a witch hunt here)

But something like that sounds pretty weird and far-fetched to most Americans, so it's hard to communicate what it looks like, let alone explain the somewhat complicated backing reasons.

Hi FlyingRobot --- I'd be interested in hearing more about your career path (and openings at NREL). What I've personally heard and experienced aligns with the overwhelmingly negative accounts elsewhere in the thread, which (I feel) have also correctly identified the misalignment of incentives that's responsible.

On the other hand, I've never worked in the national lab system. If you're still monitoring this thread, I'd appreciate it if you contacted me at the email in my profile!
