"If everyone can't have it, then no one can" is pretty much a guarantee of slower progress. (You can't start with VWs for everyone.)
Keep up the good work and thanks for providing a sense of normalcy to your employees in the midst of this crisis, I'm glad something like that is going on at this time.
Of course the obvious followup question is: how long do you have to stay at the job before it becomes ethical to leave (for normal reasons like finding another more desirable job)?

In jurisdictions with at-will employment (like California), most full-time jobs explicitly have no guarantees or commitments from either side about how long an employment offer will last. If your ethics are instead based on supposed implicit norms (like "it's rude to change your mind on a job offer" or "it's rude to leave your job before the recruiter/hiring manager gets their bonus" or whatever), then I think it's entirely reasonable to examine 1) whether those supposed norms actually even exist, 2) what the source of those norms are, and 3) whether those norms systematically favor one party over another.
> especially at that bit rate. Also seems like the bottleneck would always be the consuming program...

It's not made to be fast; it's just fast by nature, because there's no other computation it needs to do than to just output the string.
>They can't set rent prices

They totally can. Go to any marketplace and see for yourself: sellers set prices. Buyers can negotiate, accept or refuse, but the seller setting the price (ask) is completely unilateral and happens billions of time every day.

>If the land tax is roughly correct, the owner of land cant charge more with the tax because it is less competitive than land that is a little farther away.

If this theory had been correct than raising taxes on businesses would not result in the increase of consumer prices.

>land taxes are less distortive than any other tax

Might be true or false, is orthogonal to the fact that land taxes, like any other taxes will be paid by the end consumer through increased prices.
Pretty cool! I was able to solve it fairly quickly. It immediately reminded me of how you would solve a rubiks cube.
N=3 is an absurd sample size when you are sampling from an otherwise large pool.

When N=3 because that's the entire size of the sampling pool, failing to take heed of those patterns is an unforced error.
According to his Linkedin he's working at an undisclosed startup. Who knows what his compensation is like, but it's not as if going from Google to an early-stage startup is particularly uncommon.
If you receive a wire transfer to a burner checking account that only accepts deposits and not withdrawals, that would be fine.

I think the only risk there would be identity theft leading to payment with stolen money, but they're almost certain to get caught so it's fine.

If that's a concern: If you make sure the transfer comes from a business checking account, they only have 24 hours to report the fraud before the business is on the hook for the stolen money and not you(I think). I'm not sure if personal vs. business are externally-distinguishable in an automated way, however.
There is 70% affirmitive action. If you are a Dalit with 50% mark you will get admission to a medical seat and you will be a cardiac surgeon, but if a brahmin girl gets 99% she will not get admission and will be a clerk. Go figure the Indian system. This is why you see thousands of Brahmins in Silicon valley as they are kicked out or disgusted with Indian political system of favoring lower castes. USA benefited immensely from it.
R has this (being secretly a lisp that only looks C-like on the surface).
> As an America-born Indian-American, I honestly don't know what my caste is beyond knowing I'm not Brahmin (I didn't do the string ceremony some of my childhood family friends did)

That's not actually sufficient information to infer anything, since people from any of the four savarna castes can participate in the ceremony. It varies a lot by region and community.

It's not actually unheard-of for Dalits to have it, although that's rare.
Seeing people frame not using a website as something massively life altering change says a lot about social media in general.

But I'm definitely going to bite my tongue calling these articles silly as long as it has a chance of "unplugging" people from the toxicity.
I only observe Java from a distance but everything I've read about project loom is amazing.

Speaking as someone who has worked intricately on an async runtime in another language, I've more and more started to question the premises around the explicitly async paradigm. Lots of things we were "promised" with async turned out to be just as complicated in the threaded (i.e. blocking) programming models, and now we have two incompatible programming models. I'm now of the opinion that we should improve (instead of replace) our threaded models and do under-the-hood optimizations to sort out the performance issues.

If I had a dime for everytime someone made a blocking call from an async function.. And who can blame them? Most blocking functions aren't even documented as such, you just have to know.
This is far too extreme a position and ends up being false as a consequence. Alternatively, you've had a bad pick of managers.

A human relationship with your manager with mutual care is possible.

The thing to understand is this: your manager is not the business.

Unless you're working in a truly tiny company, they operate under their own set of constraints and will have to make decisions they're not really happy about. If that means firing you or low-balling your salary, then sure, you may not care much for that distinction in the hurt of the moment. And maybe they really are out to get you.

But if you treat your manager like an antagonist, don't be surprised if they end up doing the same to you.

(HR is a different story)
> You miss some opportunities this way but you feel better when you look in the mirror. Regardless, as others have noted, Coinbase has some specific issues that aren't indicative of a broader industry probem. They seem to be handling this as well as can be expected given those problems.

I have a hard time reading this as anything other than "it's OK for companies to rescind agreements but not OK for employees to". Consistency requires that it's either acceptable for both employer and employee to do that, or unacceptable for both. (Personally, I lean toward the latter.)
Yes, I have heard of it. Borean effectively is a superset of Altaic or the even more controversial Nostratic. The languages of Iberia 3000 years ago, Ancient Egyptian, classical Mayan, Chinese -- all probably related? This is not generally accepted.

It's an interesting idea, I cannot disprove it. But I don't think it has been proven, either. Even the possible relationship between Uralic, Afroasiatic and Indo-European is not widely accepted yet. Those language families are extensively documented and we can reconstruct their proto-languages convincingly back to somewhat around 10,000 years ago. They look kind of similar in some ways, maybe areal effects? I think to hope for another 10,000 years further back is too much. Borean is a claim about probably further back than even that. The Nostratic and Altaic subsets of the Borean hypothesis, presumably with its proto-language somewhere in Asia around 10,000 years ago, alone is controversial and is not generally accepted.
Your statement sounds much like the old “if you get caught doing $x at school it will go on your permanent record”. BigTech is so vast that unless you do something egregious it’s hard not to get hired back at the same one, let alone a competitor.

For every you that wouldn’t hire the parent posters, there are hundreds of managers that will.

No part of the hiring loop at major tech companies for ICs that I am aware of involves checking references. We definitely don’t do that as part of the loop. Our entire hiring process is based on how well you do in the interview.
The first C program in the blog post allocates a 256kB buffer and writes that one exactly once to stdout. I don't see another loop which writes it multiple times.

> He called, for example, the Russian capture of Mariupol a month before it happened, while the entire time corporate media was running non-stop propaganda about how well the war was going for Ukraine.

This claim conflates the overall war with Mariupol. I didn't see any serious media that claimed that Mariupol would end other than it did. Everyone called it the same way, that I saw (though I don't read opinion pieces).

Many opinion writers create strawpersons; they say 'the corporate media did X' and then contrast themselves with it. When that happens look at some mainstream media (which is not one thing, but many, many independent publications) yourself and corroborate it. It's almost always false, IME.
Yes and no, A 3d algo that renders an object in 1 sec vs 10 sec did benefit but it doesn't give any new insight into anything. We have not gained any new knowledge.

I think it intentionally doesn't work in the way you're speculating here. Assigning copyright to FSF means that they can relicense the code in the future. We trust that this future license will be a GPL derivative.

Suppose I don't sign over copyright. Instead I license my code to the world under GPLv3, and you incorporate it into your project. You can use and share my code under the terms of GPLv3, of course. But that doesn't mean you can share it under a future GPL version, say GPLv99, without my permission -- because the terms of those versions may be incompatible.

Exceptions are not indicative of the rule. And especially when you compare Damore to someone rescinding their offer, which are nothing alike.
Well, Twitter has 7500 employees and Coinbase seems to have a more complex product.
I get why they do it. It's an easy way to make something new seem familiar... and people like the familiar.

When I think about it, I can't help but think of it like memories with long time friends. When you're young you don't have any shared memories with people, so you spend all your time making memories. As you get older you start spending less time making memories and more time talking about those old memories you made long ago.

When a movie or TV show is nothing but old references, it is like that old chat at the bar between really old friends who have run out of things to talk about. "Remember when...", "Yep." "Oh...".

I hope as I grow older I can keep making an effort to make new memories and I hope this phase in media doesn't last too long so we can have a higher percentage of new stories instead of new stories that just remind us of older ones. The younger crowd may know something is a reference, but have no connection to the source material. At some point it becomes as abstract has the save icon for people who have never seen a floppy disk.

I am now become aware that this view might just be due to my age. This same thing likely happened with every generation, but you only realize it when you're old enough to actually get the references. After all, every creative work is influenced by what that came before it. Some influences are just a little more obvious than others.
it's not the government restriction, but wage slaving that keeps private individuals from making scientific breakthroughs. Perhaps UBI could be the answer.

Money, education, Mayflower ancestor, eligible to join the Daughters of the American Revolution, distant relative of some famous or wealthy family, member of some social clubs (even inexpensive ones), and so on.

A rescinded offer is basically equivalent to getting laid off immediately. Honestly I’d rather get a rescinded offer than a layoff 3 months into the job.
> For comparison, I would have never ever reached out to you again. And if I met you in the hallway at some other place, I would have made sure that everyone knows how I feel about you.

Do you have a "burn book" of people who have wronged you or something? How would you even realize it's the same person a decade down the line? Why would you even care?
I was totally wrong. Thank you for showing me the facts.
They don't want you shooting the shit with company communications mediums because that has limited upside and much less limited potential downside.

Remember the famous "will the atom bomb test ignite the atmosphere" gentleman's bet those scientists had? Nobody actually thought it would but they discussed it semi-seriously. Today discussing some fanciful bad outcome like that (be it the mundane failure to deliver a product or something more interesting) is a liability when it's sitting in your company email servers. Even if that bad thing isn't what winds up happening or the people speculating aren't in a position to have accurate info the other side's lawyer or the regulator will try and construe it as proof that the company should have known ahead of time.

Or, more likely, say there's some sexual harassment or adultery kerfuffle between employees. It's way better for the company if none of that happened on company provided communications tools.

From the company's perspective it's avoidable risk to have work communication tools be used for informal BSing between employees. But they can't realistically prevent that so they introduce Skynet in order to make people watch their mouths and move those sensitive conversations elsewhere.

Lol depends what industry your in. Im a one man band msp so I literally set up these catch all employee tracking systems. Most folks don't realise they exist, even fewer use the data produced by the systems.

That's a very interesting historical viewpoint of the justice system. I've often wondered what in our culture (in the US at least) lead to such a draconian system. I think the thing I take issue with most isn't even the system proper itself as much as the culture around it: stripping felons of voting rights (in a country billing itself as the "Land of the Free"), using prisoners as slave labor (we have protected slavery in the bill of rghts!), and treating them almost like lepers after they have served their sentence/punishment. It's sickening.
You might mean with pnp as the node linker? Migrating to yarn 3 from yarn 1 wasn't an issue at all for me with `nodeLinker: node_modules`.

I just wrapped up switching over to pnp though, and that '95% of the way there' line you mentioned rings a bell for me.
More and better candidates than if they’re completely honest about their company? A promotion because they managed to keep wages down for staff? A higher salary or more stock for the same reason?

I get your point, but if, after extending an offer (and having it accepted) you suddenly found out the role has been "made redundant", would go out of your way to get your executive compensation reduced so that the new hire could stay and you wouldn't have to "burn bridges" with the person?

I'm not taking sides here, but am curious to see your argument.
The hiring posts don't bother me at all.

But I certainly have personal hangups about silly things that bother me to the point of distraction, even in small quantities. For example if an article has an animated gif in it, I literally can't read it once I've seen it. So I can understand why some people might get put off by something seemingly minor. And making a blocker is a good solution, even if very niche.

I don't buy this...even if white people don't understand caste, they would still understand random team members not being invited to group events and perhaps try to find out why it happened that way.
>And some pieces will take infinite time to rent out if the price is set too high.

Yes. Same as the demand curve goes to 0 if price is high enough.

>If you believe in supply and demand curves at all, this example is straight forward

I believe in supply and demand curves for fungible items. It's easy to observe that you can acquire less of a particular item at a lower price than at a higher price and also true that you can sell more at at a lower price than at a higher price. I don't see how, say, a particular painting becomes bigger or adds detail with price increase or how one can sell two Mona Lisas by cutting down the price.
Sometimes I feel like as a hard core engineering type, social media doesnt appeal to my brain. Same with TV shows on netflix, movies, gossip, hollywood, fashion, common trends. None of them "stick". Coding alone in the dark does, and sometimes I recognize I need to step away and talk to people. But I keep getting drawn in to the next abstraction. Must be how it feels to use social media
That stuff is just to scare you. In 25+ years, I've never NOT moonlighted. I did get a "talking to" by a VP once, earlier in my career, about having too many "outside business activities." His concerns were promptly ignored.

I do wonder how SoftBank investing $680M into SoRare at the height of the NFT boom is going to work out. If SoRareStats is correct, they did 170Eth of auction volume in 24 hours. If they have the same fees as OpenSea, that’s roughly $8,000 in daily revenue.
You're right, I didn't realize they did that, and I do consider them open core now that I know. I think Red Hat is still a solid example though.

It definitely varies wildly. Some methods of decaffeination might leave as much as one-third of the coffee still in the beans.

I'm a regular coffee drinker (and not caffeine sensitive), and I do get a placebo boost from decaf, but without any noticeable effects from actual caffeine.
A decades long rigorously controlled RCT in human nutrition science is practically impossible. Even if it were possible the scientist would still have to choose variables to control for in their population selection.
I don't like some of the moves being made by emacs lately, deprecating libxft for example. It's been fixed but the FreeDesktop people won't take the patches because they're "so over" X11 now.
Well, there is no reason to maintain most of these structures. They were mining cabins, but the gold mines were closed up long ago. The “time” when these structures were needed has passed, so they are not maintained and are rapidly returning to nature. Soon all that will be left to mark them will be some square iron nails.

Sometimes depending on the context and the person it's just easier to say IDK.

Our industry has lots parents that aren't really equipped in any way to really grock what we do outside of computers, I'd assume taking that limited knowledge and trying to answer with more than 'computers' might be more of a pain in the ass than saying 'IDK'

Wouldn't be to hard on them, there's a lot of valid reasons to say IDK without being a bad parent.
