> But, the Supreme Court should not be responsible for managing dysfunction in other branches of govt.

This is the only statement in your take that I disagree with. In the checks and balances system, the supreme court is exactly supposed to protect the balance between federal, state, and individual rights.

One consistent court might have protected gun rights and abortion rights this week. Another might have permitted restrictions on both. Instead we got gun rights and body control. The apolitical ship has sailed.
I work for Twitch and previously worked in AAA games. People are often surprised, even coming from Amazon or Banking, how much Gamers try to 'hack' thinks. Gamers are used to trying to find edges in the system. Gamers are pretty tech savy. i've had several people ignore my advise that we would be looking at a whole nother level of people trying to game the system when working with gamers.
This sort of thing is so frustrating to me.

They phish users with horribly made emails with no formatting, then they send the same sort of emails for legitimate things. They give security advice and then break their own security advice.

Unless you’re a government (or contractor) your threat model isn’t some side channel timing attack on your CPU, its users complacent with security created by you. Legitimate emails should look legitimate the first time, security advice applies always and everywhere. It’s not that hard.

I always have to look up yak shaving when I read the term. I find it hilarious that Wikipedia seems to have two definitions for it, which are practically the exact opposite of each other.

So to use this great term to it's fullest extent, I would guess a lot of programmers think they're yak shaving when they're really just yak shaving.
It was pretty ridiculous. I already had a passport, other state DL, SSN, and birth certificate. The points for proof of residence are the dumbest part of RealID.

You don't need to worry about being unfair to other distant departments. You only need to tell your reporting tree.
I know you're jesting, but in case someone else misunderstands, even if every person is 100% efficient and rational for real, the market is still chaotic and unpredictable.

Like the weather system, every molecule of air and water behaves "deterministically". And yet, we can predict no more than a few days, may be a few weeks at most, with any real accuracy. This is the hallmark of a chaotic system (aka the error in prediction grows exponentially).
It might surprise you to learn that all states have some form of laws requiring 'child support for a fetus', or more commonly, prenatal child support: https://personhood.org/2020/02/07/america-prenatal-child-sup... In many cases, proof of paternity must be established (though it's hard to argue with that.)

It might also surprise you that these laws tend to be strongly supported by Republicans. For example, this bill cosponsored by all Rs that (failed) to make it enforced Federally: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/116/s3236
> Ironically, the abortion rights in India now are far more favorable for women than the US even though India is very religious and economically backward. Indian society has come to the conclusion that unwanted pregnancies burden women disproportionately and they should have the right to decide.

I'm neither Indian nor American, but just my impressions as an outside observer of both countries: in the US, the liberal-conservative divide on social issues and religion really latched on to the topic of abortion, in a way in which it did in few other countries (even most other countries with a traditionally Christian majority). The same divide absolutely exists in India, but it has tended to focus on other political issues instead – relations with religious minorities (especially Hindu-Muslim relations), the eating of beef, religious nationalism (Hindutva) vs secularism, citizenship and immigration (see the Citizenship Amendment Act controversy). Conservative Hindus and conservative Christians actually have rather similar views on the morality of abortion – the difference is not so much in the underlying ethics, rather what to prioritise in translating one's ethical views into public policy.

I think, it may be less that Indian society has "come to the conclusion" – more simply that religious conservatives have let the secular liberals have their way on that particular issue, because they've got other issues they'd rather spend their political capital on. Another big difference, is that in India criminal law is a federal not state responsibility, so the issue ends up being addressed once at the national level, instead of separately in each state in the US (especially in this new constitutional situation, but that was already happening to a lesser extent under the previous one.)
Thanks; great info! However, I think it's long past due for me to move the keys to my kingdom onto a paid service. However, maybe I'll leave one of my vanity domains on Google services. (Roughly 70 people worldwide share my surname, so it was easy to pick up a few vanity domains.)
> Note that most contraceptives prevent implantation and IVF creates more embryos than needed. Both are no-no’s under the new regime.

Do you have any examples of specific laws of in any states that would make contraception or IVF illegal?

Most pro-life people are very supportive of IVF as they are all about people having more babies. Many states with anti-abortion laws also have laws explicitly making surrogacy legal (which requires IVF).
It's an issue for the areas of the world currently facing food scarcity. Producing on-site is going to be cheaper if there is no distribution set up.
>There is nothing great about abortion. And ease and normalization of abortion for convenience has contributed to way to many over the past fifty years.

We've been doing abortions for millennia, only in the past century did we start doing safe ones. I'd be less pissed about this ruling if those in support of it would fund neonatal care and social welfare systems to support a baby that may come into this world with a mother underprepared to care for it but typically the people against right to choose don't actually care about the babies once they're born.

I said Robert’s wouldn’t overturn, and I was correct. I said Kavanaugh was a maybe. I got Gorsuch wrong. The Mississippi law was written to give the Justices an out at 15 weeks, but I didn’t anticipate how hard the Solicitor General would push to defend the full scope of Roe. In my opinion that was a tactical error.

In the 9 year old post you cite, I said Roe was wrongly decided, but I didn’t think it was necessary to overturn it. Nothing I said today is inconsistent with that.

As to your point about Thomas, you cite a comment correcting a misreading of Thomas’s concurrence in the Kim Davis case. I said nothing about how “extreme” he is or wasn’t. Also, that has no bearing on Roe. Anyone could have told you Thomas would vote to overturn Roe.

You say I’m wrong about support for second trimester abortions, but neither of your sources actually asks about second trimester abortions.

In this poll, only 34% support elective abortions in the second trimester: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2022/06/24/how-ame...

Same thing in this poll, 65% oppose in second trimester: https://apnews.com/article/only-on-ap-us-supreme-court-abort...

Same in this poll, only 28% support in second trimester: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/where-americans-stand-o...

You can’t rely on polling of “Roe” because most people don’t know the precise contours of the precedent.
Roe was clearly a compromise, which was unsatisfactory to nearly everyone at the time. I don't like Roe, but it's better than what we have now, which is nothing.

Yes, it's important for people to realize the split is closer to 50/50 nation wide, some people forget that, but in tech, it's definitely not 50/50 and that's relevant as well.

An internship is basically a months-long job interview. It is often difficult or undesirable to fire an employee, so the internship provides a risk-free way to evaluate a young employee and see if they are a good programmer.

No one wants to have interns sitting idle (since that provides little insight into their abilities), but the demands of customers obviously trump the commitment to training an intern. So unfortunately real work can keep the intern's supervisor from getting as much time with them as they would like.

The reality for an intern is that your code (if any) is not going to be included in a production application. The best you could hope for is to contribute unit tests from a code perspective. There is the possibility for meaningful contribution in other ways, but that isn't really the point. The point is for the company to evaluate you and for you to evaluate them as an employer. There is little downside for you an intern since you are probably making more money than you ever have before, and at least the experience will look great on your resume even if you end up doing very little. But hopefully your experience is better than that.

My advise is to be eager to learn. Learn how to use the software your company makes. Look for ways you can contribute something and suggest it (likely to be testing/QA). Be proactive and curious. Be patient. Be humble. Be friendly. If you can pair program with an established engineer that is ideal. But you will mostly be watching, and it will move REALLY fast, so be prepared.
People who invest in cryptocurrency are doing just fine. They may have lost a large portion this money, but the fact they even have money to put into crypto means they are able to afford food, rent, etc.

I've never understood writing as a specialization without any subject matter knowledge. For example Journalism degrees are often the first step in becoming a writer for a newspaper. The journalist ends up in the 'business' or 'politics' team even with no experience in these fields.

My naive suggestion for improvement would be to develop technical writing skills in addition to another degree or field. Want to write about science? Then do a science degree as well as a writing course.

Same with documenting software. Isn't it better to have knowledge about software when writing documentation? I'm not talking advanced CS here, I mean basics.

I think the article supports my view. The author hit a limit at his workplace because he specialised in writing without a deeper knowledge of what he was writing about. Instead of gaining that knowlege prior to working he had to learn on the job, which is fine but not ideal if it's not necessary.
Google also just built a brand new building in downtown Austin that will house a few thousand people.
But it takes a lookup hit and you need an arena per object type with its memory overheard. You'll get more cache misses.

A lot of the rust performance talking points just aren't true. Rust is slower than C and C++, not by much but you can't get a true believe to even recognized this. Rust has turned into a religion.

Rust also disallows some things that you can do fine on C++ if you know our architecture because thing won't work on some machine 20 years ago (eg, it has more strict alignment requirements than any machine a consumer can see).

Throughput may only be 5% or more slower, but latency issues for rust is a much bigger issue. The devs I've talked to don't even try to pretend they have a good latency profile.

Relocating to low tax jurisdictions and boosting employee morale both contribute towards creating long term shareholder value.

> The Russian sanctions actually surprised me in that a lot of corporations actually pulled out and fast.

Companies either pulled out because they were legally obligated (That's what sanctions are) or they wanted to avoid reputational damage to their brands. Again, rational self interest.

Corporations do not and I'd argue should not take political positions in the way people do.
Support for overturning Roe is actually around 30%

It’s not 50/50 at Google or any of the big tech companies.
Doesn’t make much sense; Brex has a very clear revenue stream of the insane interchange rates on business credit cards. I doubt they (like Moviepass…) will make much off of transaction data; the card networks are already selling it anyway.
Interns are part of the recruiting pipeline and ramp-up pipeline. It gives the employer an evaluation period much better than an interview. It gives you a chance to see what work there is really like. They hope you enjoy it, and come back partially ramped up.

Speaking of ramp up, it's tough. It takes months for a new hire straight from college to be a net positive (not just when they start accomplishing things, but when they have accomplished enough on their own that it has 'paid back' the time spent teaching/mentoring/leading them).

Where does that put interns? Well, it's similar, but then the intern leaves when they're getting the hang of things (so generally they leave a deep net negative) Not to mention that interns generally are less experienced than the new hire, there's not expected to be a good return on investment during the summer.

Finally, because the intern has a lot of learning to do, and because they will leave soon, they basically can't be given any mission critical projects. So they will be given the low priority 'nice to have' tasks. This can result in a sad state where an intern will leave a 3/4 finished project, and come back a year later to see that no one has finished it (or worse, the project may be deleted).

(On the other hand, I think interns are a great way to get "low priority by PM standards" work done that the engineers really want to get done)

Economics? Well interns are cheap. Way cheaper than a FTE. They have low payment rates, and they're only paid for a few months. The bigger costs are the extra time from the engineers to help you ramp up (and the delays in their projects).

You'll need to just keep asking for tasks. Ideally you'll have a project that takes half or more of your internship. If you do, make sure to set milestones, break down the project into achievable tasks and demonstrate forward progress. At the end of summer you'll leave, and you want to have at least documented all the things you accomplished.

If they don't have stuff for you, see if you can take some tasks from their backlog. They probably wont let you have things that need to ship soon, but you can probably find something they'll agree to.

Good luck
If you choose to ignore the example I just gave, that's on you, but luckily I can provide additional examples from the last few years:

- bans on legal ownership of certain types of firearms while simultaneously weakening firearms penalties for the primary types of gun violence: gang and drug crimes

- using lawsuits and legal harassment to shut down right leaning personalities, businesses, and institutions

- selective prosecution by activist DAs, depending on political alignment

Shall I list more? And, again, these are supposed to be things that you feel are justified, but the right does not, because that's the purpose of lawfare.

You don’t need an “official” license, although I agree creative commons is closer to what you want. I feel like you can pretty easily write a license file that explicitly waives all of your rights and responsibilities. Such simplicity is after all what made MIT such a popular license, even though it’s not substantially different from Apache.
If you're going to do that, please make the two codes more different. e.g. Make one alphas and the other numeric, or give them different lengths, so it's stupidly obvious which one the user should type in.
The notion that non profit boards are self appointed and answerable to nobody doesn't seem universal. In the model I am familiar with (the French one), non profits typically have broad and open membership, and that membership elects the board. In fact, I find it difficult to find non-profit with self appointed boards to be quite as legitimate. While the board doesn't actually own equity as shareholders would in a for profit, since they are answerable to nobody, they effectively run the organization for their own sake. They might have a charitable agenda, but there isn't much holding them to it.
This answer is short and correct. Go to events in startup hubs and meet investors and other founders. Build relationships over time on trust.

You don't need an objective scientific line; any sort policy being codified into law (in any context, not just abortion) will be subject to interpetation, exceptions, and context. Instead, you just need a reasonable compromise. And as far as reasonable compromises go, we had a quite good one until hours ago, when states began stripping our rights away.

It is possible to be against abortion for oneself while also supporting the rights of other people to make that decision themselves. Abortion is not a recreational drug that people take just to have a good time, it's a harrowing medical procedure that is unfortunately necessary.
Slack was fine for our team of ~10, but frequently blocked by Chinese great firewall, and overall experience was slow. We moved to a free self-hosted Mattermost instance and been using it for a better part of a year. Conversations are fast, we own our data, and there is no looming 10000 messages limit all the time. Bleve search is working just fine for us as well. Win!

Mattermost is an amazing product with a few quirks:

* it is hard to set up any kind of integration with a TUI: `matterircd` is quite buggy and also eats the CPU like there is no tomorrow, `matterbridge` doesn't sync correctly, or at least we couldn't make it work, and `matterhorn` is a standalone product (which would be much nicer as an e.g. weechat module) trying too hard to look like a web UI;

* web UI is still being polished, e.g. if you connection is unstable, web UI websocket is going to behave badly, requiring frequent refreshes to not miss any messages, or it still doesn't scroll to bottom sometimes on new messages, this has been the case since v.4.x and we're now on v.7;

* what I think is different from Slack is that threaded responses are shown in the main channel as well, and if there are many threads it is the same mess as if there were no threads at all :D

* somewhere around v.6 update the Focalboard push was a bit jarring, thankfully after disabling the plugin it disappeared for good.

Keep up the good work! Once our org is larger and requires Enterprise features, I'm pretty sure we stick with Mattermost.
> Nobody in their right mind would ever want to zoom & pan a map on a website

1) I agree. Apps have maps, but most websites?

2) Zooming and panning can be done without WPA. At most some basic JS, although I think you can do the same via HTML+CSS.

3) The old way of zooming panning was buttons for zooming and panning. Those worked fine. In face ,they worked better than zooming and panning buggy implementations.
That is my understanding as well. Austin itself feels like a city plucked out of blue state, but I didn't want to risk being caught in the growing Texan zeal with nowhere to go.
