> I worry about the people living under such digital serf conditions. It was only a matter of time before they started promulgating changes like lords, like the client side scanning "feature" they tried to push. That is absolutely a problem that needs to be addressed and the answer is always computing freedom.

Social classes already exist in the US. The digital divide in internet access, software availability, and technology literacy between states is stark and almost comical. Software engineers consistently earn more comparatively than almost any other industry or profession. You lot and these monopolistic companies already 'promulgate changes like lord's.' The future is now; awareness just isn't evenly distributed.
Work in HR. Have been in this industry for decades. There is at least half of companies I dealt with will not hire those from gambling-type of industries (this include crypto). Moral has nothing to do with it. It reflects on people who work there with a specific type of behavior. Exception do given on those working for short stints like less than a year. But the longer one is in that kind of industry the stronger their "specific behaviors" ingrained in them and hence many employers exclude them from being hired. This is more of oral things and wont appear in any emails or paper trails.
Is this a reference to something?
Why are you assuming it's about a specific issue? The author made it pretty clear it's about the principle and not a specific issue.

From the author: "I might actually agree with your political cause, but you crossed a line."
"Community" is a loose term, you could call an apartment building your community and that would be 1:0 renters to owners. The issue you seem to be arguing with is that home owners are a big majority and will vote as a block against anybody who comes after them with "equity" plans, right and left alike. If your community had been a township or a county then you could enact whatever laws you think will make renting more comfortable than ownership but otherwise you live in a democracy of the homeowners.
The employees don't have a better strategy, but they think they do. This happens when trust and respect is lacking (in both directions) between management and workers.
>>Why would unions reduce the growth of jobs

Because they reduce the profitability of firms, and thereby reduce investment in expanding production. This is a long-observed effect:

Nice article. I'm left wondering:
- Are there any benchmarks available?
- Is any full code example available (as opposed to a snippet)?
- Does it handle real-world edge cases (unix vs dos line ends, non-"normal" quoting etc)
- Does it normalize (e.g. `"hi"` and `hi` are both returned as `hi`)?
- How does it compare, performance-wise (or in other ways) with https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv, https://github.com/eBay/tsv-utils or https://github.com/liquidaty/zsv? (disclaimer: I wrote zsv)
Same! In case others feel bad reading this, I’m in the same boat. Every place I’ve worked has a multi step interview process and as far as I know referrals don’t get to skip it.

Maybe it’s different types of work (consulting?) or companies (earlier stage startups?).

I don’t think I’m particularly good or bad at networking but fully expect to have to do coding interviews and/or take homes. Or maybe I really do need to get a stronger network!

Several years ago they ran all their old logos on their salt containers with a little story about the logo. It was really fun to see! For some reason my parents needed a bunch of salt (lots of cooking, saline rinses too if I remember right) so I got to see two or three different iterations on the design.

Yeah, we've been bitten by this too, around once a year, even with our fairly reliable and redundant network. It's a PITA, your process just hang and there's no way to even kill it except restarting the server.

> Same people that complain in this post about over-jealous verification, will complain in another post about misinformation and propaganda.

A bit tangential but actually I suspect those are nearly disjoint sets. In my experience the people who complain about misinformation and propaganda are okay with identity verification and censorship while those that want privacy (such as myself) typically dislike censorship and don't want a central authority getting involved to judge whether something is misinformation.

It largely comes down to trust in authority and centralized versus decentralized system design.
I am guessing a lot of folks did not see the sarcasm in this. Either that or I am wrong.
Even in a medical context, the difference, when operated like an air purifier, is negligible.

The genuine HEPA filter in a cleanroom [0] is not sitting in front of a fan in the middle of the room. It’s very carefully installed such that all the air coming into the clean area goes through it once. The calculation is entirely different. (A medical or industrial HEPA filter may well be in the exhaust, in which case the considerations are again different.)

[0] There’s none of this “true HEPA” stuff in a cleanroom. There is a filter that meets a specific standard, and that filter will have a gasket that seals with considerable force against the air handling equipment. The “true HEPA” filter in a Wirecutter-approved air purifier achieves nowhere near 99.97% due to the lack of the aforementioned gasket regardless of how amazing the filter media may be.

I also almost never comment code architecture and logic, but code is usually solving some business problem and documenting that in code is just not always reasonable or even possible. Also bugfixes and compat related naming in live software gets you things like fixForObserverOverrideBugIn364

For me it's more about not wasting people's time. Names are opportunities to divulge minor contextual information that you spent time figuring out, and it would be going backwards to then compress that into shortened names.

A lot of banks and other financial institutes now require a lot more identification then before. I remember opening accounts with just my driver's license number or SSN, but now they ask for my photo and so on. Maybe KYC regulations are putting some pressure on them or something. I usually just drop the account if I see too many hurdles - I am fine with having to work to earn my money, but having to work to give my money to somebody is a bit too much for me.

My statement was referring to the immediate parent, which bemoaned the lack of “Fathers appreciation month” and “housewives appreciation.”

How does the lack of an “abstinence celebration month” support the idea I was responding to - the idea that the media has decided that “fathers” and “housewives” are unimportant?

We certainly agree on that.
It all depends on when you need the money. If you are expecting to have to spend the money right after the stock vests, it may be worth 50% of cash due to the chance of a bad market. If you are expecting to save the money for 10 years, it's probably worth as much as cash.

SSC spent the last decade as a blogger on the side. He had a big enough following to monetize it, but actively chose against it. It was only after the whole NYT debacle, that he actually moved to blogging fulltime.

If his incentives were aligned with money, then he'd have tried to monetize his platform far sooner than he did. If anything, a portion of the new subscription money is already being invested into weird community moonshots that would've never seen the light of day.

There is revenue that facilitates means needed to make good content; and then there cases where the revenue is the end. I have yet too see him do the latter and the former is essential to any healthy career.

I absolutely believe I could have missed something, as I only quickly skimmed this (it looked like it was going to not teach me anything non-obvious from spending a ton of time doing this kind of work), but the premise is the client timestamp is irrelevant: the parameter being passed is the previous most recent timestamp of an update seen from the server, and is merely acting as a monotonically-increasing change identifier (wherein I then agree with the other commenter here: it is weird to tie this to time and it would be better to make it opaque).
I am also a Japan resident and I had to roll my eyes at the headline. Yes, there are some cool things like these in Japan, but as you say they are not widespread, and there are plenty more examples of terrible UX, especially on the web. Not to mention all the businesses still stuck in the land of fax machines, IE6, and mountains of non-digitized paperwork. Many public and private systems and policies are extremely inefficient or completely nonsensical, simply because conservatism is prized over innovation.
Yeah, pro-choice but hoping not to have an abortion is probably a lot of people's position. But then telling your partner who depends on you financially that it would disappoint you if they had one sorta changes things, dont you agree? Especially if theyre already pregnant.

As for unions, everyone should unionize. It's literally the only way to even out the power dynamic. Good companies, bad companies - it makes no difference. There goal is to pay you as little as they can, so yours should be to get paid as much as you can. Unions make that process easier for the majority of people.
If you want to keep trusting it over time then you can never criticize the CCP or they will take it from you.

I just skipped a 30 minute take home multiple choice test. After the second question I could tell this wasn't really testing my skills and was just a hoop to jump through.

No this is obviously something supposed to improve on virtual memory and paging to disk. It uses things like that but is supposed to work across a data center with a bunch of different stuff. Improvement for a specific case is not "reinvent".

You're missing the point here, the point is it's possible. There are many different blockchains, it's pretty evident noone is going to add some in game NFT to a blockchain where it costs several thousands of dollars. The technical details really aren't that important for my argument.

To simplify.

If it’s the actual economic value then the city would include your neighbor who’s brown lawn slightly decreases your property values and a million other factors nobody can actually account for. It’s always going to be calculated based on some simplified model or the best guess of some accessor.

Even stepping into the abstract some choices are just arbitrary. Do you decrease the LVT of a superfund site? What if someone drained swampland so the land it’s self is more valuable?

forward your spam to their help desk (usually help@<website> or contact@<website>). other humans hate dealing with spammy email about as much as you so often the fastest way to solve it is by looping in an email.

The thing is these companies use humanist language in their mission statements, recruitment pitches, and marketing. Every time someone says their startup is "going to change the world" or "revolutionize how we do X" they are tapping into the humanist well to promote their business.

I would be far less sympathetic to the author if Mapbox avoided humanist language in their marketing and recruitment of personnel. But that's the language the company chose. Turns out if you say shit like "We are using technology to better the world" people are going to actually hold you to it!

Anyway, I feel like there's sort of this culture clash going on in the tech industry between Gen-X cynicism - where all that flowery humanist language is delivered with an unsaid "wink and a nudge" and millennial earnestness, where they take people at their word.

If you're a founder seeking to avoid this kind of stuff I would recommend not gilding the lily and be very up-front about what kind of business you're trying to build. Strip out faux-humanism from your mission statement and avoid it when recruiting. If the people doing the purchasing of your product are under 40 however you'll probably need to keep it in your marketing however. Do this in the beginning and not when you've already hired hundreds of employees.
Same here. It's shady AF.

Not really, from Wikipedia [1]:

> Heteronormativity is the concept that heterosexuality is the preferred or normal mode of sexual orientation. It assumes the gender binary (i.e., that there are only two distinct, opposite genders) and that sexual and marital relations are most fitting between people of opposite sex.

The idea of promoting a "gender binary" and treating the exceptions as abnormalities is quite diagonal to displaying a Rainbow flag. So is believing that heterosexuality is "normal" in some sense.

These two statements made me think of something. Usually, (and from comments I've seen many times on HN) I'll hand in my resumé and it has my Github etc, and the hiring team don't really look at it. Perhaps if I'm given a coding test or assignment, I should pick one of my projects and ask them to complete an open issue, so that I can gauge their coding ability and how they use Git, respond in issues etc?

Fair's fair, and it would tell me a lot more than I get to know right now.
Under NFSv2 and NFSv3, the numeric user and group id is used to determine permission, and these must be aligned between the client and server. I have an oracle uid 60 on an older system that maps as elcaro on an NFS client (because I have a different oracle user there as uid 54321).

Under NFSv4, direct uid/gid is no longer used, but the RPC.idmapd process determines privilege. I'm not really sure how it works beyond continuing to work when uid/gid synchronization is in place for NFSv3 and the connection is upgraded.

There is also an NFS ACL standard, but I don't know anything about it.

> The vast majority of non-democratic institutions in the US lean heavily liberal: media, academia, and tech companies are all very liberal. The current SCOTUS is the only major exception.

Mixing democratic and non-democratic institutions hardly seems fair, especially since only one of those has the direct power to govern.

You left out the Senate, which is split 50/50 and likely won’t be shortly. You also left out state governments, which are overwhelmingly controlled in totality by the Conservative party. Not to mention the federal judiciary.

The idea that conservatives aren’t in control is simply false; they are in control of vast swaths of government, and will almost certainly consolidate that power shortly. Even the nominally liberal-controlled elements of government are stymied by the conservative element, a defacto loss of control.

If you want to stick to soft power, we could talk more about that. But if you want to include hard power, then your argument holds no water.
