I am not a professional developer so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I do not believe that language vs language or why is language X bad entirely useful. Those arguments are usually pitting downstream effects against one another.

Rather I believe that a language is as good as its founding development community in terms of cooperation, incitement of creativity, inclusiveness, supporting new developers both hobbyists and professional alike and things along this line. I believe those are foundational principals and if those are lacking everything else will be weak and only get weaker with time. Politics, cliques, divisive or elitist behavior will creep in and the rest become downstream artifacts. I witnessed some of this amongst the Perl Monks and it was not surprising that their community stagnated and became divided. This is just my opinion however and I don't code for a living, just for fun. I still write Perl code for my own hobbies.
You don't see the issue with a Github monopoly? And reporting an issue really isn't any different on Gitlab than on Github, you can even login with your Github account.
I did a career change after age 40. I was a network engineer (i am generalizing a bit).

I did a boot camp, learned to code, very happy with my career now.

I find that most people aren’t willing to do what needs to be done to get what they want… and they often overestimate what it takes / the impact of failure.
Yes we do, but it ususally will require more work to accommodate your specific situation. You might need to help us with that work to keep cost down.
I'm brainstorming now: Maybe you could keep your African house or land for a few years and swap with one of our rural land owners in Europe? I know a few who dream of living in Africa. Or we find enough tourists to rent your African place.
We probably could get you permanent visa's if you would legally be on the payroll of our coop (but maybe also keep your current jobs). Depending on your nationality, you need different visas. After a few years in Europe you would become citizens and would no longer need visa's.
I am sure we could work out a way that would not cost you $50K, maybe you could work for it and rent. We have helped African students to emigrate. Yes, I'm sure there are ways to make it work for you, send me an email and we'll make a plan.
You're right. But this post's flag and 2 points show that this is a view shared by several people here. Not so much the Swiss part, but the fact that Uber needs a swift kick in the democracy.
hah, our paper actually cites "Radix sort for vector multiprocessors" by the same author, also from 1991 :)
We do a bad job of explaining to residents of our dense population centers how much energy is required to run their city for a single day, where it comes from, and how much it costs to produce.
I believe they are referring to the concept of corporate personhood. FACTA applying to "US persons" means it applies to corporate accounts too.
Getting a bit off-topic here but YES, this drives me bonkers.

Worse yet is that if I pause there for a moment, the search results continue to reorganize themselves, so that by the time I'm ready with a screenshot, the wrong answer has vanished. I can only catch it on video.

How did search turn so terrible?
It has 'crashed' for the 990th time. And?

Do you know what? I hope after what happens to Tether, Bitcoin crashes even further below $20K and below $15K and then several years later, it will bounce back 'up' again.

It has to go down first before it goes 'up'. So I hope it crashes again and this time you do not buy in at $69K. [0][1]

Pretty low corporate rates too (12.5%) but dividend withholding taxes are high.
Great suggestion! I just added this — and it worked as expected (mostly). If the Apple Music app is in MiniPlayer mode, it will not automatically switch to the full player, but thankfully, closing the MiniPlayer immediately drops you into the search results. Thanks!
> an outlier

Within a Paretian framework, anything good is an outlier. What you need is a system that allows the minoritarian good to be preserved.

So, within your sentences: "using it is an outlier for most people below 60 and for privacy conscious individuals".
Its way more valid then your opinion. You are talking about acute illness, while he is talking mostly about chronic. Modern medicine doesn't cure chronic disease - or it wouldn't be chronic by definition. I am grateful that we don't die from a bacterial infection any more but those are replaced by hosts of civilization diseases for which there are next to 0 remedies, effort and patience. And the system is made in such way to prevent anything like that, in many countries.
Once again reinforcing my initial vibe of Brave being sketchy as shit.
What is the severance offered?

I don’t know how you can determine what the minimum is without knowing the severance and etc.
Because giving this power to the only entity that has monopoly of coercion/violence is a terrible idea. See history.
Seconding this. I work as a contractor at a Fortune 100, and have been there long enough, and am now highly enough ranked, that I see most of the decision pipeline from the C suite down to the intern I'm helping. The a-rationality of it is shocking. No one two steps above me really understands what our project does or how it makes money, only how it plays into the spreadsheets; and yet decisions come down from above that layer that have blistering consequences for us, with no apparent relation to our reality, but probably make a cell on a spreadsheet green instead of red.

Arguably, that's just how well things can work at this scale. A CEO of a company that large who can see all the way down to me would be a nano-manager who should be fired. But it's still incredibly frustrating to be implementing decisions that affect me (such as a hiring or spending freeze), knowing that it was decided blindly with respect to me.

As I near retirement, I'm starting to believe that any organization run substantially by spreadsheets alone is too large, meaning that profit is wasted on organizational overhead, and investors should be dismantling such companies into smaller ones.
Just imagine humanity had become so successful, that we managed to give everyone sufficient resources to live a life of their choosing.

How would it go?
Spain's solar energy crisis: people bankrupt after investing in solar panels
This is such a tediously nonsensical interjection:

...laying the groundwork for a promising new source of renewable energy that isn't dependent on sunny days or strong winds.

How many times does it need to be said that any reliable energy system run entirely on sunlight and wind absolutely has to incorporate storage? Storage can be electrical (short-term supercapacitors for buffering high-frequency variations in windfarms), electrochemical (batteries, and since portability is not an issue, there are many options for grid-storage batteries besides lithium), chemical (using electrical current to drive the formation of hydrocarbons from CO2 and water, aka artificial photosynthesis, and similar conversions), or mechanical (pumped water storage, rotating heavy masses, air pressure in caverns, etc.). That about covers the range of storage options I think.

I don't know what to think about people that trot that one out over and over again but to be charitable I'll just assume gross ignorance at this point, rather than deliberate deception.
In the case of something like PV, would that matter too much? The inefficiency doesn't mean the rest is lost, just that it stays in the local environment rather than get transmitted away somewhere else on a wire.
This is great, and can definitely improve sort performance in database and big data projects. I can immediately imagine this is a perfect match to my project of columnar processing engine TiFlash (https://github.com/pingcap/tiflash).

Around the mid 90's I bought the Dice C compiler for the Amiga. I think it came with a book(?) I was really happy with the price. It was on a special markdown price. I counted it as one of the best purchases I ever made. I was doing a PhD in Applied Mathematics at the time, nearly all in Fortran. But I was interested in C. It turned out that me learning C was a great decision as it led to me being a professional programmer.

I think the Amiga collapse not too long after I bought the compiler. Maybe the declining sales of the Amiga is what the authors decide to sell the compiler relatively cheaply. Matt Dillon wrote the compiler, and subsequently went on to create DragonFly BSD.
It's the other way round. When NASDAQ sneezes, crypto catches a cold. I think because there's some tech investors who put a few percent into crypto, and when the market heads south you sell your frivolous rubbish (the crypto) first. And it takes very little actual-dollar volume to tank crypto

Same thing happened in March 2020, when investors panicked over COVID-19 and flew to US treasuries. Stocks went down, crypto went through the floor.
This is true of any value storage vehicle. You only make money - or get your money back out - by passing it on to the next person. Art, baseball cards, stamps, stocks, gold etc. all work this way.
no-one's forced to work by a contract of employment

you can quit on the spot and ignore the notice period, and they can try suing you for lost business as a result, which is quite difficult to prove to any sort of standard

whereas it's generally very easy to go after an employer if they don't pay your notice if they sack you on the spot
To avoid issues, to avoid conflict.
I do not think it likely that e.g. grocery stores are expending capital to develop and implement systems to give there customers leverage to pay them less money, with no benefit (never mind net benefit) to the grocery store.

It's more likely that there is a side to the art of tracking that you do not account for, than the idea that the grocery stores are so benevolent.
vchuravy's link gives the details, but basically, there's a microarchitecture optimization in Zen that breaks determinism of the performance counters. Fortunately, there's a chicken bit that turns it off, which is what the script does. I've been trying to convince AMD to officially document the bit such that the kernel can set it automatically, but no luck so far.

There is still one remaining annoyance, which is that AMD's NMI latency is super high, which directly tanks rr's reverse execution latency. There's probably some improvements that could be made to the replayer to be more aggressive about optimistic assumptions on NMI latency and retrying if those assumptions are off, but it'd be a fair bit of work. I don't really understand why AMD decided to use this kind of architecture. It also makes profiles much less accurate.
Ugh, that sounds awful. I absolutely hate tomato based. If it's red, it had better be from stirring in too much chili oil!

I noticed the good places slice up fresh chilis and mix them in well. The bad places just dump some red pepper flakes on top at the end.
Ah, indeed, my mistake.
FWIW I've observed increasing numbers of papers over the past couple of years mentioning entirely columnar databases.
By that metric banks are decentralised too - my bank only speaks to another bank over a protocol but fundamentally just trusts the other side is good for it
I don’t think Meta or Google are doing that for the most part. Yes there is a small pay cut if you move away but if they said you could be fully remote then they have honored that. And I don’t think Tesla or Apple ever advertised that roles could be fully remote forever.
That being said, you are absolutely right. Companies only care about employees to the extent they have to for retention. You always need a plan B, nothing is ever guaranteed.
That's probably true. I've experimented a bit with tokio for local IO bound tasks, but decided it's unnecessarily complex. I think some patterns will emerge from current Rust async development eventually. Good parts will be easier and bad parts will be removed, but digestion of such concepts usually require time.
Worse is that the missing stuff is constantly shifting. I'll add a whole album (worth of songs) to a playlist, and a few months later one of them is grayed out but the rest still work.

The Spotify forums seem to suggest this is because someone licensed that one song differently and conditions have changed, so I'm no longer entitled to play it.

That seems bonkers to me, but regardless of the reason, the effect is infuriating.

I ditched Spotify a while back and I'm slowly clawing my way back into physical CDs, ripping and encoding (or not even bothering to encode; storing as plain WAV still doesn't take that much space given modern hard drives), and trying to ensure that songs don't vanish out from under me ever again.
It's not great, but how bad it is depends heavily on how they're compensating the people they did this to. Like, if everyone affected gets an immediate lump sum payment equivalent to say 4-6 months salary, it would be really not so terrible. The mere 1 month of salary they offered, though, is obviously completely unacceptable
Yes it can. If anyone reads "encrypted messenger" they're assuming only they and the intended recipients can decrypt it.

Rather, this is more of a debate of what the layman expects, and frustration with misleading marketing. A great example of this is the whole Zoom debacle; they claimed it was encrypted, people assumed it was E2EE, and got a lot of blowback for that to the point that they ended up implementing E2EE.

Another great example: a few of my friends were using Telegram for a while, and thought it was E2EE until I pointed out that only their "Secret Chat" feature is E2EE.

I feel like the criticism towards Brave ITT is unjustified. This is a USPS service which is available to businesses. If you're a privacy conscious person in the US, you've likely opted out of this list.

Brave is reaching the people who may not have done this, to the end of getting regular folks to know their alternatives against big tech companies.

I guess don't get the ire, or what the expectation is for them to grow. Would you rather them take out Google or Facebook ads? /s
If you have a family, house, etc. it can make you more risk-averse if you don't have a substantial amount of savings.

That said, if you are smart and motivated, re-skilling for an in-demand high-paying field is pretty low risk. It's the people who try to jump into something in a very competitive field, like owning a restaurant, with no prior experience, that can end up worse off.
Is the motivation that asking these questions is going to be used in some way to get better compensation?

1. Ask questions
2. ???
3. Profit!

The true is that equity in a startup us extremely risky. So you're either going to get a large chunk and be a decision maker or you're ganna be a passive participant and hope for the best. No questions is going to change that. Even if the answers to these questions may be desirable NOW, tomorrow you can be diluted. It's meaningless to stress over this. Join because you love the company or are going to be a decision maker.
Same here. They just up and die. Abbott has replaced a few for me. And I think the only way they’re going to get more reliable is if you force Abbott to cover the cost of the dead unit vs you/me.

I don't think I follow your point about income level. At first blush it sounds like you are suggesting the poor care more about freedom (or have more to fear from the FBI/CIA?).

I am personally not worried about my own safety at all. Or maybe it's more fair to say that I worry no more about my safety than anyone would living under the nuclear sword of Damocles (never mind an environment out of kilter) — or that I worry no more about my safety than I would about any other's safety.

If I am older I suspect it has given me the perspective to see that we live in a time when people can do horrendous things on a scale where thousands die in a single evil event and that we should not accept this as a society — we should not hold instead to some hard-line idealism of requiring everything to be free and open.

Again, I am not personally afraid of being the target of some sort of random act of terror, nor am I naive to think that a secretive government organization given a blank check could completely eliminate such a threat. But when something horrible happens again, if our leaders were asleep at the wheel and did nothing, we could be well expected to be also enraged with them, to have expected more from them.

I don't think I even agree with your continuum of "freedom <-> safety". We're never truly "safe". To allow for bad actors to do harm is more an affront to justice if you ask me.
Following that line of reasoning. Considering we get 3-6x as much energy investing in renewables compared to nuclear then a single cent in invested into nuclear is an enabler of climate change right?
If I would write it in C/C++, I would instead write it in Rust. Otherwise I would pick something more appropriate for the job. As far as performance, Java and Rust are neck and neck getting their asses kicked by Javascript (for web apps)!

As a point of reference, our solar system orbits our galaxy at approximately 4 times that speed at 828 megameters per hour, so 210 megameters per second isn't that big a deal in the grand scheme of things...
I've asked some of these questions before, but always got the answers in person or over video chat. What happens when what I was told doesn't square with what actually happens (for example: acceleration if the company is acquired)? Is there a recommendation for getting the answers to these questions in writing? Is there even any recourse?

The closest analog to crypto distributed ledgers is, well, ledgers. If you look around you, there probably isn't a single product that could have been produced without the adoption of double entry accounting. And yet that adoption process took around 300 years.

Crypto is on the exact same trajectory. When people look around them in 300 years, there probably won't be a single product that could have been created without distributed ledger technology. But obviously this isn't going to happen in any of our lifetimes.

The IQ test is being able to see the trend even though crypto is currently at literally 0.00% adoption (on the basis of total financial transactions). Sooner or later, reality always goes to par with the math.
Maybe you closely analyse mailers/junk mail/etc but most people ignore it. If it's not an envelope it goes into my recycling bin directly as a stack.

I think it makes a difference if the founders of the corporation are still the CEO. At any rate crypto goes through very quick bull/bear cycles, with the most recent downturn being in 2018 & 2019. And they can easily see broad volume stats across the industry (it's all on-chain after all).

Also clean code usually results in compact code, which used to be effectively the same as fast code for the machines BSD was initially developed for.

each other; eg email, xmpp, sip, activitypub

“decentralised” = data is replicated between servers; eg matrix rooms are replicated equally between the participating servers; usenet

“distributed” = data is replicated between p2p nodes; eg git, p2p matrix, bittorrent.
