Back in 1994 we purchased a box turtle at a Santa Clara pet shop. We still have it. It must have been fully grown then because I am pretty sure it hasn't changed in size at all. I don't think we have noticed any behavioral changes, either. Appetite seems the same. Still gets pissed off and bangs its shell against the terrarium glass when it's hungry. So that would be something like 27 years without noticeable change.

Anyway we're close to retiring and I suppose it will transition to my daughter eventually. Maybe it will outlive her too.
That's a bit of a narrow view on this problem. When sending a link to someone, you expect that someone to view the link. Not some random mail service. Who gave the mail server permission to access the page? What if it contains copyrighted material? What if it's one of the millions of pages which don't follow the HTTP design philosophy to the letter?

This is a can of worms.
Great resource! I have it linked as a reference!

Actually, yes. With Apple not having user choice, those of use who want a choice can choose Android. Lack of diversity in one ecosystem supports diversity in a broader context.

It's like prohibitions against importing some aggressive plant or animal species. It's a way of protecting local diversity.

They probably shouldn't have access to any personal information in an ideal world. But they gather as much info as possible to sell advertising and pay for the service. At least here in the US there have been well know cases where someone starts receiving pregnancy related ads before they even know they're pregnant, just based on other data/activities that are correlated to becoming pregnant.

That was the 1980s Group C cars.

Turns out, it's fairly straightforward to build a car that rather radically exceeds the physical limits of the driver.

I would love to watch the autonomous version of that, though, with "no restrictions" (or nearly none - melting the nose of the car behind you with a flamethrower isn't quite in the spirit). You want to have a driver in a sim booth drive it over wireless? Great. You want to have a self driving algorithm? Great. You want to generate gobs of downforce with upward firing jets? Great. Just define some basic fan safety based limits, or... don't, and have a closed track.

I would love to see what some of the race teams could come up with, unrestricted from all the various "Hey, let's keep drivers and fans alive!" limits out there.
Illinois is generally in the bottom three of states for pensions being underfunded, and Chicago is normally the city with the highest or second highest sales tax in the US. As an Illinois resident I'm concerned about the high percentage of taxes over the next several decades that will go to service debt, and therefore not provide other services. I think this causes issues which scare away established employers as well as entrepreneurs (high crime rates, struggling public schools, etc). This will then drive away young people who are looking for good jobs, and therefore Illinois misses out on the taxes those people would pay over their careers and thus the situation spirals down further.

You are the only person to have brought this exact point up. And I think it's a huge one. I think it's pointless to go on about the features or the add-ons you'd need to add to Firefox to achieve this level of privacy in your browser, while ignoring the glaring problem that this has a really small maintainer pool and I assume folks have done no due-diligence on who those folks are.

I'll admit, I haven't done due-diligence on any of the folks at Mozilla, but I think it'd be a lot easier to socially engineer a project like LibreWolf than Firefox.

Edit: I'll add I mean no disrespect to the folks at LibreWolf, in fact it's awesome what they're doing. I just find it hard to take most things at face value these days, especially a browser.
> I’m going to ignore the security angle

That's the whole purpose of this post. Instead you want to fear monger and deflect from a sore subject for Apple.
Just because something isn't surprising doesn't mean it is necessarily legal or ethical; meanwhile, Apple refuses to admit that "tl;dr" in public--quite likely because they appreciate the practice might not be legal and certainly isn't ethical--and so are attempting to instead claim it is justified, and so it is important to refuse to allow Apple employees that cop out and instead call them out for what we know to be the actual truth here.
Umm, if your break is less than a year then keep job etc dates on your CV in whole years and it will take some detailed enquiry to notice your gap, and at that point you can explain that that you needed a break and some study time etc. It worked for me and a friend in a previous recession. Indeed, we talked our way into a better job than we applied for (as a team)... B^>
Why not just convert the cars to CNG?
On that specific point no they don't go in depth, but then it's a short interview. He does say it's a comment on contemporary American culture, as with the rest of the movie you interpret it your own way. Clearly though from the interview he makes it clear the intent was political satire, and a deliberate critique of fascism and kind of world and people it might produce. That's the lens to look at these things through. But there is no one way to read it all, that's why I find it so re-watchable.

If you want to read it that all the other cultures were wiped out in the war and only one culture survived, sure.

If you think the one world government imposed a monoculture, maybe.

If you think humans are herd creatures that naturally converge on group-think consensus and globalisation is just going to go that way, fine.

Or maybe it was lazy film making cutting corners for budget and convenience reasons. OK. But in rebuttal to that possibility I submit in evidence the entire back catalogue of Paul Verhoeven movies.

What were you using to install kubernetes?
> 3. Prefer fewer larger clusters with namespaces (and node pools if needed) to lots of tiny clusters.

This is interesting - last time I worked with Microsoft Engineers from Azure - they said exactly the opposite.

One workload = One cluster.

„There are too many shared resources in Kubernetes that can leak collateral damage from one workload to another”.
If you want website to not be broken on Safari, the solution is to give developer without a Mac the ability to test on Safari. I wouldn't be able to fix my site if it's broken on Mac Safari if I don't have a Mac.
Let me explain this another way, since you seem to be thinking about this the way I originally thought about it.

If you wager 500 million to win 1 billion, then that be pays 2 to 1. Any 2 to 1 wager makes sense when the odds of winning is greater than 1/3.

If the odds are 50/50 or 1/2, then betting the amount to win the same amount is an EV neutral move.

You are correct that the marginal utility of money is pretty weird when you are billionaire.
Based on the original leaked source code, it appears they really did intend to increment the variable they did. The comment matches the name and purpose:

Could you expand a bit? It sort of sounds like you're describing a small town or a social circle / social scene where everyone got involved in some particular altcoin or something and invested a ton of their personal savings into it while encouraging others to do so as well, is that essentially it? Crazy if so.
Yes, and look at the other ways that (eg) Google authenticates users and domains for AdSense.

Adding something to DNS records is another, for example.
I would heavily recommend Clean Code. Depending on the systems you’re working with, Designing Data Intensive Applications is a great read, too.
Nobody is too stupid to understand zoning, and I never suggested that was the case. I am saying that most people are entirely unaware how/why zoning occurs around them at all.
“The observation that Eskimos, who traditionally consumed large amounts of saturated fat and small amounts of carbohydrates, had low rates of heart disease appeared to contradict the orthodox view that saturated fat was a major cause of heart disease.”

Modern science (outside the FDA) has moved past the idea that saturated fat causes heart disease.
Care to cite your evidence that the death penalty deters crime?
Overall great advice, however if it only works under the following conditions then it's not really usable advice:

>New hires need to join a stable squad, where senior team members can take time to onboard and support them

>Limit the number of junior employees to a certain % of your workforce: sounds harsh, but in a remote team, especially a startup, resources are limited. Don't stretch managers too thin.

These points makes this advice not-actionable because by and large, these two items are usually out of the control of their managers.

Yes, ideally a team would be well formed and competent prior to even posting a job requirement, but we know that's just not the way the world works.

"Don't hire unless you have everything in order" is great in theory but I've seen only a handful of teams in my near 20 years of experience that can claim to be in such a state.
It's asking what we will make of ourselves when the determining factor of Identity - the returned gaze of the Other - is 'just' an AI. Hegelian dialectic and such aside, it's an interesting question and I for one found the article more or less readable, if a bit on the self indulgent side (as these types of essays tend to be).
Ugh financial engineering.
It's basically impossible to release this kind of internal tooling due to the way Google works. You'd have to rewrite it, or open-source essentially the entire foundation, and Google probably doesn't want to do either.
>I don't think the government will get involved at all.

Oh man, then you really don't know about Québec!
some universities have a "developed using university resources" as an IP owning clause.

this means if you coded this at your desk, even if on your "spare time", the university provided resources (the desk) and thus has a claim one your IP.

Optimized for airflow is true for traditional Japanese buildings, but recent decades buildings are just poorly made for insulating and also not optimized for airflow, because builders and regulations were lazy. It was really stupid poor regulation because Japan imports all energy source.
Your concerns are valid but from the article:

You are right about the reputation of the maintainers of LW though. The second this becomes abandonware I will ditch it.
If you find anything about it, please do share. I recall I saw something similar somewhere. Maybe it was OpenVPN.
Candidate Final Bosses
Same in Southern California. Despite increasing our reliance on our AC system, we're generating 172% (system was sized with an EV in mind that we intend to purchase in the coming year) more than we consume since the system was installed. We don't even have a very large system, it's only 5.6kWh. We've always been energy conscious but this drove us to aggressively identify idle loads that were higher than they should've been, too. We also have a Powerwall so we're effectively off-the-grid.
The marker of low socioeconomic status in a remote environment is disruptions to your video call. Kids crying, people walking through your background, people yelling, neighborhood dogs barking, etc. is something that doesn't get into your call when you're rich.
This is a new interesting point to me, which makes total sense. All the big $ in Chicago seem to go to prop trading, not VC.

Combine that with a big industrial base, not tech, and all the STEM talent just becomes mechanical engineers, not software engineers, and half those who do become SWEs end up at trading firms.
I'm glad this project exists. I stopped keeping count of how many new privacy offending features and nagware Firefox keeps churning out these days.
It's not surprising; it's frustrating.
There must be affordable housing everywhere (read: in every city, and multiple areas of larger cities, not literally every inch of earth) if you want to have workers in lower-wage jobs who aren't forced to spend all their non-work, non-sleep time commuting.

If it's effectively impossible to find housing in San Francisco at a price that a barista can afford, and you're OK with that, then you're saying it's OK for San Francisco to have no baristas. (Or for baristas to be homeless.)
I disagree with this basic premise. Privacy is not a baseline philosophical module that gives way to two separate concepts; privacy is simply a thing that can be achieved upon exercising one's property rights.

We want privacy because we desire control over the dissemination of our secrets. We desire this because our secrets are derived from activities to which you do not want the public privy. The reason one does not want their activity public is because it ultimately threatens the foundation upon which our lives are built. We use our right to property to protect ourselves against this outcome. We buy homes to say "this land is mine, please do not come onto it." We buy cars to say "this is my wheel machine, please do not use it." We buy computers to say, "these are my thoughts and productive activities - not yours."

We do not mind when our privacy is violated when it is perceived to have no material impact on us for that information to be out there.

This article is not really about privacy, but rather different ways by which to go about privacy _protections_. It is an insightful article when tuned to this context, and without doing that, it can be a little misleading.
I use a tiled window manager + emacs buffers, my 15.6" screen almost always has 2 applications open and 4 when I feel the need. Never had a problem running commands or reading documentation all at the same time.
Heh, a neutral wall in my 600 sq ft place? I have such limited layout options to put my desk, that would be an additional challenging constraint.

Virtual backgrounds are popular in my workspace, and I think a more general solution to the issue. I'm not a huge fan of virtual backgrounds, they make things even more artificial, anyhow I would use them occasionally but for the fact that Google Meet does not support them in Firefox.
I lived in Chicago and, when I was there, there were a lot of good people but the overall technical culture was mediocre--probably not worse than anywhere else, but not befitting what was once (and could be) among the greatest cities in the world.

The presumption, except in high-frequency trading, is that the talented people go to the coasts (which is bullshit, because I've spent a lot of time on the coasts, and it's all socioeconomic) and so a certain fratty culture dominates.

If WFH is permanent, it could be one of the best things for Chicago in a long time. It really is a great place to live--if you can find a good company. I also didn't find the weather to be that bad. April-November is a slightly cooler (nicer, in summer) version of the same thing we have on the east coast, and the winter tends to be mostly fine with only an occasional -20 cold blast.

In my view, Chicago's biggest negative is its 1-2 hour drive radius. The city's beautiful. Northern Illinois, not as much. Starved Rock is nice, and the Indiana Dunes are alright, but most of the cool stuff in the Midwest is 3-5+ hours away. The flat landscape also suffers due to billboards and powerlines; the topography makes the city itself so much more more compelling, but it means the outlying areas get really ugly--because if there's any garbage within a mile radius, you're going to see it. On the other hand, it has one of the cheapest and most connected airports in the world, so that might make up for it.
No, not at all - just MacOS 11.6

I bought a big jug of Starbucks coffee for a party, and they gave us a cup of soy milk for people to use as creamer. After the party, I tasted the leftover soy milk to see if I wanted to keep it for use with cereal or something. It was shockingly sweet — not like any other milk or milk substitute I've ever tasted.

US citizens can take comfort that they are in the company of Eritrea, the only other country that has citizenship-based taxation. And theirs is only 2%, but they enforce it by jailing your relatives if you don’t pay.
Source code copyrights are the foundation that open-source licenses stand on, in the legal reality we occupy. In other worlds, there are probably better alternatives. But if Microsoft and GitHub would object to their own copyrighted code being used to train "FSFpilot" (and I would bet they would) then they can't use my code for their project either, not without following the license under which I gave them access to it.
I've wondered about that place. How do you like it?

Stepping in to support the wages of mismanagement may not seem so excellent if the situation worsens further
I think a lot of these projects are less rational and more ideological. People are desperate for applications of crypto, because the survival of the ecosystem depends on it, so they’re willing to chase down high risk / low reward ventures to keep the music going.

Remember to be problem oriented rather than solution oriented. If you just tell people "I think this should be the solution" or "you should change it to this solution", you aren't working with them, you're instructing them. And a key to teamwork, especially reviewing, is a cooperative spirit, not an instructional one.

If instead of saying what you would do, or what you think they should do, you express a concern about the code, the tone is completely different. Now it's just saying something like "do you think repeating this across files will be problematic?", which allows the other person to be the determiner. If they agree they may well do exactly what you would have suggested, and if they don't, it can start a discussion that helps bridge together how various team members code. It's win/win.

It also helps people understand what you aim for when writing code, which helps them keep in mind your needs in the future (and vice-versa for you to keep in mind their needs).
In rust you can get EAC banned from official servers and private servers with EAC enabled. But you can always join private servers with EAC disabled even if you have a EAC ban on your account. So players are free to make whatever rules they want on non-EAC servers including allowing cheating.

In minecraft many servers allow and even encourage cheating. They are called anarchy servers and they are actually the source of a lot of interesting minecraft content. Its really cool to see what play styles people come up with when they are allowed to cheat.
At least a few of those links are in fact pop science articles like the grandparent complained they would be, and when you leave a bunch of links like this with no consideration for the discussion or explanation for lay people, it's basically gish gallop[0], which is an informal fallacy / rhetorical technique that generally underlies a bad faith argument.

Anecdotally it's anti-science / conspiratorial types that tend to do these obscenely large link dumps with references to dense studies, and then pretend that they've read them all. I consider you and other proponents of the Long COVID theory to be in the same category; deploying gish gallop as a rhetorical tactic hurts your case more than it helps it, when encountered by skeptical people like me.

> if these people insist on not being in the office we may just outsource the job for a tenth of the comp

Hah, they can go ahead and do that. In fact I encourage it because it makes me more money in the end. When the software falls apart due to shoddy practices, they'll learn a very hard lesson when coming back to reality and end up paying people like me double (at best) what they would've originally paid to fix the mess. My last company was in the finance space and this is precisely what happened. They ended up pouring millions of dollars into fixing the disaster from outsourcing. If you ask around, you'll find this is a very common story.
[author here] Very interesting, do you have a reference on how Java implements this?

I just poked at v8 a bit and they seem to have an explicit 'null' object in the VM, though I don't know a lot about so it's possible it works as you suggest.

It seems it might be hard to distinguish language-level null pointers from null pointers within the VM implementation. E.g. v8 runs within a Chrome process that is processing HTML and other things, so if v8 had some special signal handling of null pointers it'd need to be able to distinguish those from HTML processing bugs etc., which I think you might only be able to do by examining the stack? I haven't thought this through but it seems difficult.
