Not necessarily, it could just build plausible deniability for the paper not being independent. I don't at all believe that is the case here, but it could be that Amazon expects unionization to be inevitable and later articles undermine certain key position as unreasonable. The lie would get a mantle of truth. Or integrity in this case. The is why real independence for news rooms is important because you can never know.

Firing is very common in Europe depending on specific country and it's laws and the industry we're talking about (is it unionized? are the employees easily replaceable? immigration, etc).

In Austria it's super easy to fire jobs like white collar tech workers and sales people without any reason as the employee protection laws are very weak (you just have to give them their notice period). At every company I've worked here I've seen people get fired after not meeting their performance goals(PIPs), or even having too slow velocity in Jira's charts, or just some manager having an axe to grind.

There's no magic protection aura from the government to save you from getting fired here.
I’ve been using Rust as a hobbyist since 2015. I see what’s going on in the community, attend a meetup, and work on open source projects (mostly my own).

I’m starting a side project, and after much consideration, I went with F# and AspNetCore. The maturity of the framework and solutions for web is hard to ignore.

And then F# gives me a lot of what I like about Rust: union types, pattern matching, avoiding null… With less syntax, and without reasoning about lifetimes, which still takes me more effort than I would like.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Rust. In this case, I was able to build out a web server a lot faster, while still getting _most_ of what I love about Rust.

From my understanding of lasik, it basically just etches the lens on your eye.

Must people need different lenses over the years, so it's inherently a temporary fix. And one that comes with the risk of going blind and is almost guaranteed to come with various sight issues a few years after the operation such as having more issues seeing in the dark ("night blindness") etc.
Wearing contacts comes with it's own risks however, so if glasses aren't an option for the patient, LASIK isn't that dangerous.

I could've gotten the operation for free (paid by my insurance) but decided against it, as my superlight glasses really aren't that bad and the risks just weren't worth it to me.

I would add that it inserts free similarly to C++’s RAII, and it also have reference counting wrapper type which will free at runtime. Reference counting makes different tradeoffs to mark-and-sweet GCs, they usually have worse throughput, but better latency (when they are shared between threads, every new/lost reference does an atomic increment/decrement which is very expensive and happens on the working thread. Java’s GC for example can amortize this cost by doing the work almost completely in parallel)

Average salary for a software developer in the US is over $100k/year. For a 30 year old, that would put them in the 95% income percentile, or 87% for a 40 year old.

The comparison to other lawyers is weak because becoming a lawyer requires a hell of a lot more education. You can become a software developer without even a having a college degree.

You are also ignoring other professions like nursing. Nurses make far less than software developers and work a hell of a lot harder. Same with teachers.

As far as barely making a middle-class salary while rich people get richer off your work? Welcome to capitalism.

The Brain Has a ‘Low-Power Mode’ That Blunts Our Senses
Spring isn't a web framework, it's gaffer tape for a language that just isn't good enough without it; that's why it's [spring] still around and its use is so prevalent. It's not at all mainly for very specific functionality in the sense that your post sort of implies [for web, and databasy things I presume]; in fact: it's just for wiring and for applying/ attaching things to "abstractions". As in: please decorate these sets of things with this behaviour.

If you'd chosen languages that permit abstractions in a real and usable sense, then you would not need this. In fact: with _one_ exception, I've never had a container in any Haskell, Scala or F# project ever. Do you think we ever needed one?

And this is my point: those other languages have seen _tons_ of development in the "abstraction arena" with (internal) DSL:s and super powerful frameworks for making powerful DSL:s. Java has had none of this because these concerns har all (poorly) handled at the container level.

The tacked on "functional stuff" is for sure cool coming from a Java backround, but they're pretty much useless.

Can I recommend "Cosmonauts: How Russia Won the Space Race" by the BBC.

It's a fascinating deep dive into this, and the difference in long-term goals between the USA and the USSR. It explores how close the USSR were to getting to the moon first, the reaction of the USSR's team (some swearing, some shrugging), the grief over the loss of their chief rocket scientist, and why there was no need for a "pivot"—the long term goal had always been to populate and explore space.

The interviews are great and there is some amazing footage.

It is a testament to their long-term plan that, despite the collapse of the USSR, the Russians were—for a long time—the only country capable of putting anyone into space.

Do you have any examples of the type of work you’re talking about? I want to get into tech so bad I can’t stand it, but my education is in the humanities and while I’ve written thousands and thousands of lines of non-trivial* code in a variety of languages I taught myself, on paper, I have nothing to put on a resume (I can’t imagine anybody cares about my personal pet projects), so I’m thinking being willing to do some type of job that nobody else wants to do may be my only shot (though I’m quite possibly way off base here, as well).

* by non-trivial code I do not mean that it’s necessarily complex… just that I’ve written code to solve actual problems I’ve had and not just lab/learning exercises… I may be misusing the term “non-trivial code”, and if so I apologize.
Ah that’s very interesting. This really goes to show how powerful companies get when they have decent market share in the browser space while they have products on the web that have decent market share in other spaces, when there are grave concerns about what they do on either side of a decision. Chrome has been damn convenient from a dev perspective, and damn good, but the list of reasons I should be reaching for Firefox more often seems to be growing.
That’s what I don’t understand. Do they just ignore the passengers when they want to just commit suicide? Seems hard to believe a professional pilot would not have the passengers in mind. Otherwise you need someone who is both suicidal and with psychopathic murderous pulsions, which should be extremely rare. But clearly it’s not.

Still, he doesn't mention the ultimate reason for all this, which is that crypto is not sustainable and is a glorified vaporware that pretentiously tried to convince the world that it was a solution while, in reality, became simply a different problem.

> inflation literally destroys wealth

Inflation doesn't destroy wealth, inflation erodes the value of money. Wealth and money are two separate but related ideas. One shouldn't tie up the majority of their wealth in money, its non-productive.

The best way to learn how to do something is to get to work. You'll soon find out the areas that you need to fill in.
End users even have problems interpreting probability statements in my experience (e.g. this factor increases probability of event by 10%) let alone graphs. When you get more complicated models, those probabilities are often spread out among many factors, so that just adds a layer of complexity even well educated (but not quants) can handle.

XAI in general is maybe even more basic than these reduced form summaries IMO. I know alot of "data scientists" copy-pasting code that couldn't describe their deep learning architecture coherently, or who don't know how their variables are encoded in an XGBoost model, or even what exactly they are predicting.

I think those are probably bigger hurdles in general than being able to peak into black box methods and get reduced form summaries of variable effects or importance or whatever.

> In fact writing is never one person’s game. Otherwise why bother to write.

Writing is useful as a way to better articulate your thoughts. When the thoughts are in your head, it's "obvious" that they just "make sense". But when you have to give them structure on a page, putting them into the real world, you may start to see that your ideas weren't so coherent after all.

One could then argue, "But why are you trying to better articulate your thoughts if not to communicate them to others, i.e. an audience?" Which is a valid point, but I think there's value in developing clearer thinking, in terms of living a better, more fulfilling life.

No, not really. Rust undoubtedly started on *nix, but all Tier 1 platforms are supported equally[1]. To quote from OCaml's main site[2] A gentle reminder that if you do not need Windows binaries, then a more stable option is to use WSL2, ie when on Windows it is better to use OCaml from within a Linux VM.

Ocaml is great, but its Windows support sucks, and that makes adoption hard in a lot of contexts.

And that makes it a horrible currency. It makes it highly deflationary which absolutely stunts the working of an economy because no one wants to spend anymore.

Good currencies are not stores of value. They are means of exchange. And crypto is a horrible means of exchange.

It may have some use as a store of value (i.e. digital gold), but it's not clear to me why I would store my value in digital gold, which will require people to altruistically spend money on energy after 2040 or so when no more Bitcoins are generated for miners (in practice much earlier as each mined BTC gets increasingly expensive), to maintain the blockchain, as opposed to investing in real gold, which can literally sit under my mattress and not require a network of planet burning computers for it to not vanish.
> Which is btw one of the depressing thing for a lot of data engineers: we used to play with those cool distributed processing frameworks, and now? We are mostly writing some terraform to deploy cloud resources, most of the distributed part being handled by those cloud providers.
