We need to define what the term means then. Because any plonker can write js and sql after a few weeks playing around and make a mess of all of it.

What is the point of having a low bar when you're employing somebody?

"C# (.NET 6), React (Typescript / Next.js), PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Kafka, OpenTelemetry (and more)"

- from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31679768

Done properly, meaning to bring real value, you need to know SQL pretty well. Ditto C# (ditto, no doubt, web dev). Kafka is nontrivial software. It's not something a mortal can pick up in a few months.
Doesn’t apply to contractors (and as this is in Sweden it’s likely that he would have been in a union—probably Unionen—had he been an employee).
They took a hit for sure, but seem to be recovering.

"Over the course of the pandemic, Gen Z flocked to Tumblr; as of early 2022, 61% of its new users, and nearly half of its active users, are under 24. Tumblr today has more daily active users than WordPress, its professional sibling, has per month, according to a spokesperson."

It also sounds like slang for 'orgasms' in Finnish. The first time I heard of Orkut I assumed it was a casual sex hookup site/app.
> I think it's unfair to blame either party for this.

For the firing / termination of contract? Sure, everyone sucked.

For termination tagged with a reason that meant that the OP was blacklisted, and interfering with them being hired by another team? HR and the manager definitely are to blame, and should be called out for it.
As others have said, various therapies. You can also get a similar result with self-exploration, in my experience. Something like what's described here: https://kajsotala.fi/2017/07/how-i-found-fixed-the-root-prob...
This would require accurately detecting the end of the sentence which is not an easy thing to do correctly consistently.
Often followed in my experience by some kind of complaint later on that "we were promised Z by this time why is the estimate bad".

It's something I've struggled to find any good solution for too, particularly if you're looking at work that might take weeks or months because then you're often estimating based off an 'aspirational' and ever-changing specification
Months ago I noticed that I was doing this because of a (bad?) coding habit. It meant that my writing was recognizable across multiple reddit and discussion board accounts I don't want to be associated with each other. I stopped Writing One Sentence per Line after that.

Is it possible to increase the price of fossil fuels by increasing demand for plastic (and then burying/sequestering rather than burning that plastic at the end of its useful life)?

I know that plastics tend to use different parts of the crude oil mix than typical hydrocarbon fuels, but I'm wondering how the economics of that could work, with the right incentives.
WASM authentication module reusing code from something like Heartbleed.

Great it doesn't affect the host code, yet it affects the authentication, thus now a plain user might eventually be upgraded into admin.

And who knows it doesn't send network request?

It is all a matter of what the JavaScript functions imported into the module are capable of, or the code that happens to call into the module and what decisions it does in regards to the returned values.
Even in bytes that's a notable metric. What's your point?
I usually start a programming task CLOS by taking advantage of its flexibility,expressiveness and runtime dynamics. Then when I've got a better grasp of the structure of the task, I start to restrict that flexibility by using inlined generics and the like to get more speed.

Much in the same way as I program Lisp in general, first getting the shape of the task and then honing it by adding type declarations gradually.
Only partly humourous, but “approximations”. Just like the difference between chemistry and physics. And I thought there’s a whole lot of mathematics which doesn’t involve numbers to the level of most physics. Physics isn’t pure.

Think it will potentially be months? Write that. Write the longest amount of time you think it could be.

"Six months! How could it take that long?"

"It's a low quality estimate as I explained, personally I wouldn't rely on it for anything, it isn't any better than a guess. I don't have any data to base it off of."
The point is that a simulation of rain (in a weather simulation) is not rain itself (e.g. you can't smell the rain after a weather simulation simulates some rain, obviously). This is actually similar to the observation that "the map is not the territory".

On the other hand, this is a red herring - computation can produce actual rain, with the right input/output systems.

You and i clearly read the wrong article.

OP said an intern couldn't be handled in parallel to the existing work, which could be postponed. OP refused to waste the intern's time by not having the time to help them.

OP said they aren't in a position to be able to deliver an estimate, yet. That never happens to you? And the PM needing the feature was okay with that, why is it a problem for you and the shit manager?

OP was unhappy wasting time with repeated meaningless updates, which was also unproductive. They didn't refuse to provide them nonetheless.
not giving out completely false estimates for an unknown is pretty good indicator
Even if you have some moral objection to porn that's still a massive oversimplification:

1) The definition of porn is fluid - adhering to an external third party's guidelines (Apple's) will always mean adopting an overly strict definition to ensure confidence in compliance

2) Moderation is a hard problem - false positives will always happen, and given point (1) above will happen a LOT in the case of Tumblr

That sounds terrifying lol. I loved these games as a kid as well but couldn't play it because of how scary they were. It wasn't until I became a young adult that I was able to actually experience them, as well as horror movies.

As for the console I also got extremely lucky and managed to snag one with no mod chip or any other alterations whatsoever. Now that we have software exploits for the PS2 through FreeMcboot it seemed like the best bet from a collection standpoint.
I've not found vague estimates to work very well at all in this scenario. Managers will just continually ask for something more specific, they want a particular date they can remember/write down/enter into some project management software.
STT should use vosk, right?
> I believe the concern is that the attackers gain root access on system A but hide their presence/activity - even in the presence of logs to remote, more trusted server B.

That's generally called pivoting and has nothing to do with method of persistence of the malicious code.

OP makes a point that certain systems move or have moved away from giving root user the ability to extend/modify kernel code at runtime via kernel modules, my argument is that none of that matters since root user can still extend/modify kernel code at runtime via binary patching.
I think the webcam industry probably doesn’t develop it’s own parts and just picks cellphone parts off the shelf.

Yep, trust Facebook with your private info but not an open source app.
And also it is impossible to separate the genetic part from the nurture part for humans. People who were traumatised might be genetically pre-disposed to be traumatised and will pass it on to their children. Alternatively, you can bet that the kids will be reminded all their childhood of their parents trauma, or at the very least may grow up in an abnormal environment because of their parents trauma. Plus trauma is probably not a linear scale. If you live a quiet life, it maybe that a short scary event might traumatise you, but that if you go through the horrors of war for years you may develop a tolerance. So I am skeptical of any study that claims that it works one way or another.

Experiences on mice are more interesting I think.

For X11 there was no need to "hack" that - Window IDs are global so the file chooser just needs to be passed the value to set for its WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property.

Wayland might be more difficult since it likes to isolate processes more but considering this should have been common before Wayland was designed it could and should have influenced that design.

I'll preface this by saying that yes there are unethical dentists out there and clearly this Lund guy is one of them and patients should never hesitate to get a second opinion if they feel uncertain.

However, this whole thing would be more informative and impressive if they had gone after the elephant in the room. Aspen Dental overtreats more than the rest of the dentists in USA put together. They are a "large health-care organization with substantial oversight... and standardized treatment regimens", but that oversight and standardization is geared entirely toward convincing every patient to get at least ten crowns. Aspen Dental are also large enough to hire lots of lawyers, so Atlantic isn't going to touch that with a ten-foot pole.
According to Wikipedia: "Dashes have been cited as being treated differently in the US and the UK, with the former preferring the use of an em dash with no additional spacing and the latter preferring a spaced en dash."

Though I prefer the spaced en dash myself, and I am in the UK, I think there's probably a lot of variation on both sides of the Atlantic.

Anecdotally, but I find that female dentists seem to be less criminal crooks than male dentists. I only go to females for this reason.
I was watching this video recently from Weights and Biases on Linear Algebra intuition for ML.

A mention was made in it that the real reason matrices rather than code or formal logic are used in ML is because of their ability to be changed in small ways with a relevant directional change in the operability of that matrix. Changing a single character of a code block doesn't have the have smooth changes.

So your paper seems like a cool move in the right direction, and supportive of the work people are doing to try to make ML more interpetable by turning it into formal logic.

For what it's worth (and not related to CSS), I added functionality to my canvas library to make canvas elements aware of their container's shape and size, so the graphical elements can dynamically rearrange/resize as required[1]. This extends to DOM elements in the library's stack environment[2]. Of course the library is Javascript, so not useful for JS-disabled browsers.

Or set the right window properties including WM_TRANSIENT_FOR so that the window manager knows that the dialog should be displayed above the window.
After reading comments here I thought after reading this I would largely agree. It's true that sarcastic tickets don't help but they're not a fireable offense. It should be noted that this is one person's account of what happened.

It's not clear to me where this contractor was. Sweden? Even as a contractor, knowing what I do about how large companies work, a manager can't typically just fire somebody. There is an HR process that needs to be followed.

For people saying he should leave and/or put his head down and do his work, that seems to be part of the problem: the constant interruptions. I've had this situation before. In some cases I've had some success with "you've just asked me to do Y when I'm doing X. What do you want me to do: X or Y?" For decent to good managers they understand this is a prioritization issue.

But for other managers this is viewed as insubordination.

Managers have to be held to a higher standard by the company because a bad manager can do an awful lot of damage to the career of their reports. Unjustifiably low ratings, subpar ratings that may make team transfers impossible, even PIPs for really no good reason.

Companies should be hypersensitive to bad managers but so often they just aren't.

Bad managers will shift blame for their own failings and it can be extremely hard not to be collateral damage before you realize what's going on.

As for Spotify not hiring this person back, that's just standard HR policy BS. There's probably not much you can do about that.
Qualia is something we perceive. (If we didn’t perceive it, we wouldn’t talk about it.) In that sense, it isn’t a priori any more real or innate than any other perception that enters our conscious mind. It is essentially an input to the conscious part of our cognitive process. As such, it is information that surely can be fully represented — in the sense of data representation — in our brains. The subjective experience of qualia is complex and varied, but not that complex and varied that it can’t be conceived to be fully representable by neuron firing patterns (or whatever) in our brains. It seems straightforward to me that what is called “qualia” is just the perception of certain processing that is going on in our brains.

Note also that something feeling visceral is just a perception. By that, I don’t mean that the viscerality is an illusion, but that “feeling” is fundamentally a process of perception, and thus just means that certain inputs from unconscious parts of our mind are entering our conscious mind. As a consequence, I can’t imagine any perception that couldn’t be explained by information flow. Because when you think about it, any feeling or qualia is just a perception that entered your conscious experience. It’s not something your consciousness does, it’s just something it observes.
That depends on your perspective. I could argue that the consciousness merely attributes these actions to itself. The consciousness could be a passive observer, tricking itself into believing it is the cause behind the actions of the meat computer it observeres.

Then again, that argument doesn't sit well with the evolution argument. If we assume consciousness is a fitness advantage, then it must have some effect on the organism's behaviour.
I was a Orkut user with a good connection (Tier 1 ISP) and I can't say that I remember it being slow in general. There is some fuzzy memory of discussion boards loading slowly, but that was the case often for very popular phpBB and and vBulletin boards of the time.
Can you remember when you first started to read? Doubtless you thought that some day you would find in books the truth, the answer to the very puzzling life you were discovering around you. But you never did. If you were alert, you discovered that books were conventions, as unlike life as a game of chess. The written word is a sieve. Only so much of reality gets through as fits the size and shape of the screen, and in some ways that is never enough. . . . Most of the real difficulty of communication comes from social convention, from a vast conspiracy to agree to accept the world as something it really isn’t at all.

Literature is a social defense mechanism. Remember again when you were a child. You thought that some day you would grow up and find a world of real adults — the people who really made things run — and understand how and why things ran. . . . Then, as the years went on, you learned, through more or less bitter experience, that there aren’t, and never have been, any such people, anywhere. Life is just a mess, full of tall children, grown stupider, less alert and resilient, and nobody knows what makes it go — as a whole, or any part of it. But nobody ever tells.

Henry Miller tells. Andersen told about the little boy and the Emperor’s new clothes. Miller is the little boy himself. He tells about the Emperor, about the pimples on his behind, and the warts on his private parts, and the dirt between his toes. Other writers in the past have done this, of course, and they are the great ones, the real classics. But they have done it within the conventions of literature. They have used the forms of the Great Lie to expose the truth.

He should at least remove his from the bottom of the site (so it won't be attached to googling his name). It can still act as bad press for spotify and as a vehicle for getting a new job if his name isn't there (it can just be pseudo anonymous by only revealing his name if a company is interested).

1/2 fare card is about 170$ a year and gives you 50% off every train ticket.

There are yearly abos for specific routes (home to office, typically) that you can choose for 1/2/3/4/5 days a week. But the price usually gets close enough to a full GA that most people in this situation opt for a GA. And many employers cover the 1/2 fare card or GA for their employees.

SBB also (used to?) has a plan where you get a yearly GA and a Tesla or eGolf in every major train station you arrive. It feels magical: get on any train any time and when you arrive there is a car waiting for you. Use it, get back on the train, and there is another car at your destination for you to drive. It isn’t cheap but it’s a pretty neat concept.

I use plantuml and draw.io depending on the diagram. Sequence diagrams for example are very easy to do in plantuml no matter the complexity. Where I need more flexibility I switch to draw.io that I prefer over Visio.

There's a common misconception that the US volunteer military is only poor people.

Surprisingly enough, the top US income quartile enlists at a higher rate than the bottom income quartile. There's a big list of things that disqualify recruits, not having basic literacy, no recent prison time, no high school dropouts, obesity standards, mental health standards, no marijuanas use, no children...

> If everyone just sucks it up then nothing gets solved

That’s not what anyone is saying. The parent comment specifically said that the OP needed to work on changing teams, not going to war with his own manager.

As a manager of managers, it’s not that hard to see when a manager’s own team doesn’t like them. Getting multiple requests from people on a team who want to escape it is a huge warning sign that warrants further investigation.

However, if I instead get reports that a team member is combative and fighting with their manager at every turn, I have to approach it as interpersonal conflict. Some times (like this story), both parties can be in the wrong. If the situation as written is accurate and honest, I’d be moving toward heavy mentorship for both parties involved but they’d both be up for removal if they couldn’t improve.

One person behaving badly doesn’t give a free license for the other person in the conflict to also behave badly. “But he started it first” isn’t even a valid excuse in elementary school and it’s not valid in the workplace either.
