But you still have to do some validation and presumably some type checking.

So this redistributes the problem instead of solving it.

JSON is a file and interchange format - more technically a protocol.

No, they want to be able to program music by Mozart without paying a Bass Clarinet player to do nothing.

Even if most symphony performances include 72 players, not all of them do, and it's not always the same 72.
We shouldn't let people obtain CS degrees until they've had to write at least one fairly-complex program on a platform with little enough RAM that the amount of code in the program starts to be something they have to optimize (because the program itself takes up space in memory, not just the data it uses, which is something we hopefully all know but rarely think about in practice on modern machines). Tens or low hundreds of KB of memory. Get 'em questioning every instruction and every memory allocation.

I'm only half-joking.

[EDIT] For extra lulz let them use a language with a bunch of fancy modern language features so they get a taste of what those cost, when they realize they can't afford to use some of them.
Maybe they actually believed his statements regarding unlimited free speech. It's not backed by evidence but SpaceX does attract dreamers.
The way I've imagined it is an orderly winding down. Existing production continues but no expansion. All profits are redirected to aid in the transition with an emphasis on helping the poor in replacing their fossil fuel use.
Describing Win32 as a "narrow waist" (hundreds of interfaces, thousands of calls, no idea how many structures) seems off the mark.

I don't get it. It seems like the target got painted where the arrow landed.
I agree with your points, but I think you're painting with too broad of a brush with:

> They really mean they hate trans people and want them to go away.

It is certainly an issue; viz various bathroom panics over the last decade. But, at least in the tech sphere, most of the fear I've seen comes from Twitter BS and hate. There are vocal people who want to use "wokeness" as a tool to attack people. I can see how it would be easy to conflate those kinds of attacks with progressivism for people who are predisposed against progressivism from the start.
Then more directly, the letter specifically called out unequal enforcement of company policy. That's direct.
There are extrenely broad laws against antisocial behaviour and being a neusance. So the problem isnt hard.

But climate change is even easier - make them liable for damages, allow all farners who lost their land to risibf sea level un bangladesh to claim compensation. Make companies liable every time an ekderly man dies of heat stroke or crops fail due to shortage of rain.
I think this article might bury the lede a bit:

>Walmart is offering some workers with past warehouse experience as much as $25 an hour. An Amazon executive told Reuters in late 2021 that the company was bumping the average starting wage for new hires in the US to more than $18 an hour, attributing the decision to intense competition among employers.

People used to work for Amazon warehouses in the 2010s because $15/hr was a much better wage than they could find elsewhere in their geographic location.

After the pandemic and ongoing inflation, it's not difficult to find easier work which pays better. Amazon responded with a token raise that doesn't even cover CoL adjustments, but history shows that they need to pay well above market rates to hire the quantity of people that they need.

It's funny to see this dynamic at a time when the federal minimum wage is still stuck at $7.25/hr.
Firefox Android did that and I stopped contributing. It's not even that I hold a grudge, but the ostrich method is extremely frustrating to the reporters
Well Jeff Bezos wants to help people by supporting mass immigration as his father benefited from “grit, determination, and the support and kindness of people here in the U.S.,” but perhaps there is somebody more opportunistic and less altruistic than Jeff Bezos who might try to take advantage of such policies? Such a person may even lie about their motives.
I don't need many sides of a story when there is one damning example of a human needing to see a medical professional then getting fired shortly after because no leader at Amazon took 5 seconds to think if this was compassionate or not.

Why should I give Amazon the benefit of the doubt when they have proven time and time again to be actively hostile and dehumanizing? Maybe we should expect Amazon to not treat their fellow humans as some flesh automaton and just be decent for a change.
Yeah and honestly I don't think there is a "right diet", because that might be highly dependent on the person, his/her food history, medical past, antibiotics, genetics, physical activity, the "initial gut bacteria" at birth, breast fed or not, etc.

Of course one can expect the usual "less sugar and fat, more macro nutrient", but unless there's proof and proper cause-effect relationships, it's going to be complex to draw conclusions. I'm not really sure that sugar causes a bad balance in the gut bacteria.

Not to mention all the chemicals in food and the environment that makes it almost impossible to track what could work and what would not.
I don't think people are advocating to not see a doctor and discuss issues, but that there are intermediary steps that can be tried. Sorry to hear what happened to your friend's mom. I've seen the opposite where doctors will over prescribe and rarely ever test and that ends up killing people too. There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying supplemental treatments and it is really no different than OTC remedies that people spend billions on each year.
Its a shortage at a given salary. Up the salary and the shortage is not present. So really it is self imposed.
I don't think a carbon tax will ever work in reality. Big companies are known for their tax evasions. We shouldn't bet the future of the planet on something that is known to not work.
Maybe in addition to README, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING, and so on, MUSIC should be standard practice for repositories. :)

Of course, I do all my serious coding while listening to the fine music of MASTER BOOT RECORD.
I don't see that as tribalistic/negative language at all.

Left wing is a tribe. Right wing is a tribe. Just like all the sportsball teams are tribes.

Politics would work better if politicians, and their followers, worked for people, rather than their tribes.
The victim isn't the one out there making these accusations. To be honest I imagine she just wants to live her life without worrying about being harrassed further by a bunch of Elon Musk fans demanding to see a paper trail or asking why she didn't go to the police
How do you know there weren't equally capable non-assholes that the assholes pushed out of the way? Isn't that the story of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison?

Fuel prices have to stay high for us to get off fossil fuels. Thats when it makes economic sence to invest in alternatives
It already has, in China. China has tons of simple BEVs. Time will tell whether that’s what Americans will want, though.
I would try to optimize it for one specific use case, not have a general API that does this. I think it's much easier to sell something more niche.

Find a job that requires reading long text. Let's say something in healthcare where they need to read a lot of journal articles. Now you're not a "summarization API" you're a way to reduce your time spent reading medical journals, time that could be better spent savings lives (your new tagline: "Less reading, more saving lives" -- half kidding). You can also optimize your tool to summarize journal articles which are written in a very specific way. When you sell, you can set yourself apart by being made especially for them.

I wouldn't sell to podcasters or anyone in media because they have no money (just look at how much writers are paid, look at media company valuations...).
Of course it's from a .ca domain
Tells you how bad their alternative choice is.
Finally a post I can agree with.
>> It's kind of interesting because Amazon has built a reputation for being absolutely ruthless to their workers (not just delivery or warehouse).

Even if Amazon changed their policies, I'd be cautious about any AMZN managers or directors. The fact that they survived there, or thrived, means they are probably ruthless and I wouldnt want to work with such an individual (or hire them, for that matter.)
I'll take old fashioned buttons and knobs any day. I bought a 3 year old car because the new model only did climate control in the on-screen menu.

The basic rule of thumb here is if the user experience doesn't need to change contextually, use hardware buttons. Not everything needs to be an iPhone!
Could you please define "woke culture" for me?
Needing to see a doctor suddenly means you're a poor worker?
>they are put together poorly

This depends a lot on the factory / year of production. E.g. the 2021/2022 from Giga Shanghai have great quality. Of course, consistency is the key, Tesla has to achieve it across all of the factories.

And I have no idea what 'risks' are you talking about regarding autopilot.
>> the (all too well-known) file picker issue where when you type something it interprets it as file name filter rather than, you know, the file name you want to save under

That one drives me insane.

>> general window positioning

I want my applications to come up where they were when I last closed them. This used to be up to the app under X, and I'm fully on board with the Wayland idea that an application shouldn't know or be able to modify its window position. But that means putting things where they were is the DE/compositors responsibility now, and I fear they're going to fight that idea forever. I hope I'm wrong though.
>I've had comments incorrectly deleted in Reddit but I didn't think of it as political persecution.

Please. We know that this isn't considered as "incorrect" by the people doing the deleting, and that a well-reasoned appeal would be productive. This isn't happening due to simple randomness, as basically anyone who pushes back against woke narratives will attest - for example, openly endorsing JK Rowling's views on gender will get you banned from most of Reddit and quite possibly fired from your job if you do it under your real name on Twitter. This wouldn't have happened 10 years ago.

Again, you're free to say that this is a good change, or just wave all this concerns away with pithy slogans like "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences", but I'm just trying to establish that there's been a shift on the left and it seems like you don't disagree with this.
> The associated wage stabilization is going to be necessary for us to control inflation.

It won't. Everyone involved in business dealing with physical goods knows it's a supply side problem.

Fiscal policy will do little to control inflation at this time. The Fed of course knows this.

I think that The Eternal September was the best thing to happen to The Internet.

It was when all those "tourists," in loud shirts, and straw hats, started wandering around, talking loudly, and throwing trash on the ground.

It was also when they brought money with them. Lots of money.
Based on what management said it wasn't necessarily what was in the letter, but the behavior surrounding the formation of the letter and soliciting people to sign it. Basically they were fired for using company resources for personal use and intimidation of their peers.
Being a free speech absolutist has nothing to do with consequences from invoking your free speech. Everyone wanting free speech despite what type of speech that they legally allow is the price we pay to have it. Invoking it and using ignorant, racist or hatefull language doesn't mean you won't pay a social price for it. It just means we won't throw you in jail using the state for it. But you may just lose your jobs. Thems' the breaks.
Total aside, but I always get a chuckle when mainstream publications have to attribute quotes to someone with a weird (or rude) Reddit username. Good to see you leaning in to this with your testimonials!

Activists calling for more inclusion are not the protected class here regardless, even if the people they want to be hired or promoted may be (under certain circumstances).
I mean our government just nominated a Disinformation Bureau in a country known for its protection of free speech.

They dropped it after being ridiculed, but I mean the President was suggesting the government control speech.

That’s a slide into tier two.
In hot potato everyone knows the potato is worthless. The question is do traders think everyone is playing the game or are there deluded suckers who have a lesser understanding of the prospects.

This is sort of why we have "accreddi investors" law in US, so risky financial instruments are only touched by people who understand the game.

No it is too obvious sorry about that
> Fuel prices have to stay high for us to get off fossil fuels. Thats when it makes economic sence to invest in alternatives

Maybe so, but that doesn't make high fuel prices popular. In a democracy, a lot of people will vote for the guy who will bring them down now vs. one who deliberately tries to keep them high as part of some long-term strategy (all else being equal).

Pursuing widely unpopular policies to further other goals is something that that non-democracies tend to be better at.
"US IMEI's potentially are. They are recorded upon purchase - from carrier or reseller."

I have two phones - an iphone I purchased with cash at an Apple store and a Pixel 4 that I purchased from Amazon. My Amazon account is not connected to any individual person or personal address ...

The former IMEI ... recorded by Apple as "dude with cash" and the latter recorded by some fly-by-night Amazon third party seller as (dude with Amazon pseudonym) ?

"1. Network effect, who you know, who you call, when they call you - pattern. 2. Internet usage, where do you go? 3. Geolocation - GPS"

Yes - very appropriate to be thinking about these things and their impact on ones ability to pseudonymously participate on the mobile network.

I've been thinking of a raspberry pi access point that advertises a collection of SSIDs that exist elsewhere ... which is to say, I would record my network scan of unique SSIDs next time I am in downtown Denver and then recreate all of them in my office in San Francisco at the push of a button ... I wonder if there is a collection of SSIDs that would transport my phone to a different geography ...

You see this with recycling plastics as well. YOUR fault for not tossing the yogurt container in the right bin.

The idea of a carbon tax is not new. Guess which lobby groups successfully delay an implementation?
I think elon is such a Rorschach blot that people see the evils of capitalism, woes of mental health, drug use, virtuousness of free market ideals, entrepreneurial godhood, corruption of wealth and political power, blah blah, depending on their priors.

Things people say about him reveal more about the speaker than the subject, I mean.
While technically true, I don't really see the impact of the difference. It is idiomatic to use contexts for any kind of cancellation during channel operations, and it works well.

The syscall comparison was made to give intuition about general behavior of channels to someone with a background in C. Of course it's not completely identical.
I've thought about it! We'll see.
A lot of stuff google does would be an anti-trust lawsuit waiting to happen. If you know, anti-trust was actually enforced.
Only if there's a way to access it. From within JavaScript you don't have access to it, unless there's a security hole in the VM. But yes, programs handling encryption keys generally overwrite the memory holding them before freeing it / letting it go, at least those written in C/C++. Either for the case of a security hole allowing access to such memory, or so that it doesn't stay around in process memory where another process on the same system with the necessary permissions (on Linux either root or the same user) can access its memory via debugging APIs. But it's not done for normal data.

This seems like a great way to ensure that the surplus value captured by resource extraction are squandered on something which isn't building a sustainable energy future.

So if a world with steady-state or reducing levels of CO2, one in which there's also enough energy to support a good life, if that appeals to you: these people are your enemy.
I don’t think any definition of free speech guarantees total freedom from repercussions?

The number of ways to write something is only very loosely correlated with maintainability. The ease of maintenance is IMHO more a function of how much information about the properties of the code you can easily read from the text, and how well the abstractions in the code map to the abstractions you'd use when describing the solution to a friend. Lack of features doesn't help in that regard. That's why probably Go has just added generics, despite the long tradition of Go promoters claiming "lack of generics is a good thing" ;)

Languages with very little type information, e.g. dynamic ones, tend to be quite hard to maintain, unless the original developers kept the discipline of good naming and verbose commenting. Go and Java with their somewhat static, but limited typing and elements of dynamism (interface{}, Object, reflection), sit somewhere in the middle between PHP/JS and Rust/Scala/Haskell.

Languages with little expressive / abstraction power, so the ones limited in features or low-level are also often hard to maintain, because you have to reverse-engineer the high-level stuff from all the details you see. Take assembly as an example - while it may be quite obvious what the program is doing at the bits and bytes level, understanding the sense of that bit-level manipulation may be a much harder task. The assembly language might actually be very simple, but that does not help. I remember when we had a MIPS class, the whole specs was just a few pages, could be learned in an hour.
Of course. The CdTe panels are common only in the US. But, it is not obvious to people which one a panel is. Or to a fireman or bulldozer operator.
but doesn't rustc already use llvm as its backend?
That's the exact claim. It's not a pure calculation on individual customer ROI. In most cases, grandfathering in existing customers (keeping in mind I'm not one of them for Brex, so have no axe to grind) is simply good business. The reputational benefit far outweighs the cost.

The flip side is that if you are evaluating vendors, this kind of stability is worth looking at:

- Do they have a track record of customer-disruptive pivots?

- Are they structured (e.g. have revenues or funding) to be around for the long-term? Or might they disappear overnight, taking your business down with them?

- Are you being subsidized for growth? Do you expect for this to flip to being a cash cow at some point?

The wisdom when I was younger was "No one got fired for buying IBM." It annoyed me at the time, but having done a few ventures, I understand that wisdom now. It takes 10-20 years for a unicorn to exit. If you have a dozen vendors who are positioned such that a pivot on their side can cripple your business, and those vendors have a mean time between such pivots of 5 years, you won't last long.

With both employees and vendors, a good thing to look at is history of value-creation. If an employee created value everywhere they've worked, they're probably a good hire. If they've burned value at each place they've been, they're probably a bad hire.

The other thread is full of this nonsense. You give the impression that you believe that free speech absolutists think you ought to be allowed to walk up to your CEO and tell him to go fuck himself, without retaliation. What other things would you have us believe that free speech absolutists would allow? Catcalling coworkers, perhaps? Threatening to murder someone's children?

No, you just want to snipe at Musk, and you see this is a way to do it.
Your snark makes no sense. Are you saying Elon is a small group of people?

Here's another:
Software patents were judicially created in the US by a single fed circuit opinion.
The field wildly expanded to many many many billions of dollars until a single supreme court opinion.

While still kind of alive (mostly legacy lawsuits), the vast majority of the value was rapidly killed off post supreme court decisions (and AIA)

This kind of thing happens all the time - in software, in pharma, in ...

As I said, value helps in some sense, but just because there is a lot of money in a thing simply does not mean it will remain.

Eh, labels are useful. I don't believe that saying "left/right wingers tend to X" means "the world is black and white" or "everybody is left/right wing and that's all you need to know about them". It's how you use labels that matters. And yeah, a label can get misused so bad that it loses its usefulness in honest discussion, but I think "left/right-wing" is far from that death. It carries too much useful meaning when thoughtfully applied.
