Much of what you describe is an evolution from the original design.

> At the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Madison expressed the prevailing view that “the freeholders of the country would be the safest depositories of republican liberty,” meaning only people who owned land debt-free, without mortgages, would be able to vote. The Constitution left voting rules to individual states, which had long-standing laws limiting the vote to those freeholders.

> In the debates over the ratification of the Constitution, Madison trumpeted a benefit of the new system: the “total exclusion of the people in their collective capacity.” Even as the nation shifted toward broader inclusion in politics, Madison maintained his view that rights were fragile and ordinary people untrustworthy. In his 70s, he opposed the expansion of the franchise to nonlanded citizens when it was considered at Virginia’s Constitutional Convention in 1829, emphasizing that “the great danger is that the majority may not sufficiently respect the rights of the Minority.”

There's a reason the Constitution, as originally written, doesn't actually guarantee anyone the right to vote. Even today, it wouldn't be unconstitutional to, say, ban redheads or people born on Tuesday from voting.

I got an Instagram direct message despite my security settings?
I got an instagram direct message from someone who I don’t follow and who does not follow me. It came directly to my inbox. How is this possible? My instagram settings say that messages from other people on instagram will go to my requests.

It was a spam message, the person’s account clearly got hacked.
As another hold-out on Jinja, what pushed you over the edge? Half of the appeal to me in Django is that if you follow the easy path, one project should look like another.

Wow. News to me. I thought handling the pure chemical would be akin to handling nicotine or safrole, not that it'd be easily lethal, but that it would not be useful in those concentrations. Also, I honestly believed that the process would turn off the typical consumers:

Dried cannabis flowers are soaked in alcohol and then shaken gently. Isopropyl strips the trichomes from the plant. The mixture is strained into a dish and then the solvent is removed using a vacuum oven that keeps temperatures under 181 degrees. When the solvent evaporates, the remaining substance is a THC rich oil.

I haven't joined a new job in over 30 years, so what do I know.

But having seen quite a few come (and go) it seems to me that some context knowledge helps with getting up to speed.

It's not so much that ypu come in knowing the language (most don't) but doing a bit oc research, perhaps watching some videos, all help to learn the jargon. This can mean a faster learning curve when they tell you the important stuff.

Certainly the externals help. Can already use Git, know their way around SQL and SQL tools for inspecting databases, know something about database design (3rd normal form) - you don't have to know any of these, but it helps to hit the ground running.

And of course you can easily find out topics that might be useful by, you know, just asking in the interview or later.

What IDE, or text editor do they prefer - knowing your way around that will help you hit the ground running.
Once you get general topics it's fairly trivial to pick up new frameworks/libraries to pump those APIs out. I'm not saying algorithms for the sake of leetcode!

Saying this, I was interviewing for several roles across the US and EU last April and had algorithm-based questions in almost all of them. So it's pretty useful for that reason too, even if I don't really agree with it.
A couple thoughts, from an academic who doesn't mind working with industry partners:

"In industry, though, no skeptical journal editor will review your work. It’s going to be a bunch of PMs and engineers, who will take you at your word that the analysis is what you say it is."

This is at odds with the tremendous amount of consulting I end up doing essentially double-checking industry analysis. I've had at least three projects where I am functionally cast in the role of "skeptical peer reviewer".

"They may have critiques, and good ones, but they will tend to stem from domain knowledge rather than a deep familiarity with the statistical properties of an estimator."

Similarly, in my work with industry partners, some of the most rigorous methodological discussions I've ever had have been with them.

"Writing for an academic audience, rather than plainly and directly for an audience of sharp non-experts"

This is definitely true. It's also good advice for folks in academia writing grant proposals to industry.

"Academia is characterized by well-trodden problems, hashed over for decades, and negligible novel data for resolving them. Industry is by comparison a mass of green field areas of inquiry with large budgets, minimal bureaucracy, and ample data."

None of this has been my experience. Indeed, most of my work with industry has been "How do we get this done on an absolute shoestring budget?"

"School tends to train people to inhabit a state where they passively wait for assignments."

This is a really weird statement. Any graduate student who has passed their preliminary exams should already be over this. If his friend was a faculty member? It's been years since he had an "assignment".

"You don’t need to ask permission to go to the bathroom and you can seize opportunities of your own volition rather than waiting for them to fall into your lap like an essay due a week from Friday."

Following on this - this is just a weird view of academia, especially given his example is someone at the faculty level.

It's just what I remember from release. We'd waited so long. I haven't even read it since. Checked reviews and it's sitting at 4.5. I will have to reread the series anyways, maybe it was just some of us never being satisfied, I know I've been that guy before.

I personally was glad for the ending. My main critique was with the series as a whole meandering wildly. But was still something I loved.

I believe they had lots of notes and a roadmap from Jordan as well, but I could be mis-remembering.

One weird series that had an ending that wasn't supposed to was the Gunslinger series. I think King went like 20 years between books before ending it. I really remember it because he had a note when you got to the ending saying he didn't feel the story should have an ending, and he recommended stopping there, but for those who needed an ending he provided one to give some closure.

I thought that was so cool, and read it, but prefer to think Roland is still out there somewhere chasing some new Walter, so rather than preferring an ending that time I preferred open-ended, which almost never happens.

When I find incredible in depth content that I plan to read later, my first step is always to drop it into archive.org, and then to bookmark the original link. That way if you're perusing later on and some links have died or been moved, you can always recover the content you want. Plus, it's archived for everyone else on the Internet which is a net benefit.

I donate to them yearly for being such a crucial piece of Internet infrastructure (in the historical, not literal, sense)
I also find this baffling.

To be fair, the link is about homotopy theory proper (very interesting!), not homotopy type theory (a somewhat different area of study, and less interesting, in my opinion). I actually don't remember any other links about homotopy theory that weren't related to type theory. So in my view, this is a welcome development.

If that's what great leadership is about then..that's why I often don't respect managers.

The situation is that they have worked for years on a paper and now the first draft has serious obvious editing flaws. So the "leader" instead of giving constructive feedback just says it's garbage and dismisses it? It's not only rude but makes no sense for an intelligent person to behave that way in a team.

Then the other person recognizing they need to get on the same page and acknowledging the poor writing is just a sort of integral way of preserving all of that work on the research.

Public benefit and profit are different, but related. For example, say that it costs Ford $100 make an SUV. They sell it for $200. It generates $10 of negative environmental externalities. And someone buys it for $300.

The benefit generated by the car is $300 - $100 - $10. That amount is split between producer profit and consumer surplus. Note, the more value the buyer gets from the car, the bigger the total surplus, and the greater profit the producer can obtain. Profit and benefit aren’t the same thing, but they generally move in the same direction.

Generally when something is unprofitable, it’s because people don’t value it enough compared to what it costs to produce. Externalities can change that somewhat, but typically not by that much.

Externalized costs for vehicles is extremely well studied: https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/attachments/road-safety/18076.... For example, the externalized costs for my Toyota 4Runner are $0.13-0.21 per mile depending on whether you include crash costs or not. That’s at $50 per ton of CO2, which is probably too low. At $100 per ton that goes up to about $0.25/mile. That’s about $10 for the average 40 mile round trip commute. If you raised gas prices enough to fully internalize that cost, that would be like $200/month. Most 4Runner owners would probably just pay that. Some might get a slightly more fuel efficient car, or live a little closer to home. But those externalities aren’t so big that most people would give up the convenience of personal transit to use public transit instead.

Physical objects break down with use. That’s the natural impetus for personal property to be a thing. Ideas however don’t fail with use which is why no legal system has the concept of actually owning an idea rather than say getting a patent for a few years etc.

Intellectual property doesn’t exist, it’s all just privileges handed out at the whims of the the state the same way only Dentists can practice dentistry.

I graduated pretty recently and this is my first job (1.5 YOE at this role, around 2 freelancing + internships during uni) and I want to know how I can be a better Senior SWE, I know a lot of the skills that make someone senior comes with experience , which I currently lack, so how do I make up for it?

why does go always get brought up when talking about rust or nim or now zig? Its got gc, a large std lib, less latency than java but noticably slower, and its not suited for embedded or drivers. Its a completely different language for a completely different niche than zig or rist, though maybe I could see a comparison to nim... Maybe. I do like go for what it is, batteries included back end language with syntax nicer than java, but I mostly do embedded hpc, so I don't reach for go often.

I can believe that abstractions prevent errors, but can't a language allow footguns but have syntax that makes them easy to detect?

How would you have achieved what that code was doing, in Rust?

Code written to assume it will only ever run in context X being made to run in context Y instead is a problem that happens in every language equally. It is prevented by making a predicate Z to report whether X, and asserting Z where it matters. It is not a product of conversion.

In Rust, you would have had a factory function for type A, and somebody would have made a factory function for B that called the one for A, provoking the same failure.

We still need evidence of the original claim that implicit argument type conversion is a common source of memory corruption. We already know that bad design breeds bugs.

> Something the author didn't comment on, but I think is important, is overall alignment. In the old UI the controls and labels are colocated, and inconsistently ordered. In the new UI labels and controls are consistently aligned left/right or top/bottom.

I think this is the real reason -- it's easier to build a pretty, symmetrical UI with switches because they can exist far away from their associated text.

I'm not convinced on the accessibility argument, namely because it's usually trivial to expand the effective click target of a control without making it physically larger on screen.
Are you better at filtering, or at seeking?

One route is to cast a wide net, with a very specific filter.

The other is to be very targeted in who you approach. Find likeminded people, which will require finding a lot of not-likeminded people.

The key to both is scale. The work is both in the skill (how good of a filter do you have? How good are you at really identifying people who value what you value?), but the real secret is volume. Persistence, scale, volume, and a way to improve your filters.

There are no shortcuts.
The claim that only 25% of visitors are on a laptop or desktop, would not be accurate for many shopping sites. I'm not sure why you're generalizing about website traffic.

Laptops are not unpopular devices. People use them at work, at home, to shop, browse, everything. People love their laptops. At work, people love dual monitors etc. That won't change because humans need sufficient screen real estate to get stuff done and display documents etc.

As I said before, quality of users is also important. You should analyze your traffic to see bounce rate and spending for mobile phone vs everything else.

You seem to think that a mobile layout will be "compromised" if the design starts with the full website layout. This is old thinking. If the brief says "we want a strong website on all devices" then your designer and devs will make sure the site is great on all layouts. Otherwise they're not doing their job.

There's no universal law that says unless you design for mobile first, it will suffer. Your idea is left over from years ago when mobile phone usage was low, and mobile browsers were poor. Remember when there was a delay between pressing a button and the action, because iOS was "waiting" to see if was a double-tap or not. The compromise was built-in.

Add to that the crippled cache and memory abilities of phones, and the preference of mobile manufacturers to push people to native app stores, nobody should be surprised that mobile browsing was/is compromised by its very nature.

Not exactly. I don't store anything; instead, I just send an email and/or text alert to a user if an update is detected on a page they've selected.

The main gap it's solving for is that great original comic art is usually sold within minutes of dropping so a passive RSS feed isn't great. You need the alert quickly to decide if you're buying or not so the email/text alerts help with that.

I wrote about it up thread but without a file system I can rely on using it on a router, web server and mail server - do people really bother running mail servers nowadays? - are disqualified. I don't even think it's a "well if you have good backups that doesn't matter" (cattle, not pets etc.) it doesn't have ZFS/btrfs style snapshotting which is massive step back in how I think of backups. The release cadence, upgrade cycle and speed also leave me scratching my head for actual production.

I did enjoy running it on my Lemote as a curiosity, but that port is dead now...my favourite part was the variety of arches it officially supported.

Again, as I stated in my comment, it's made for OpenBSD devs and that's fine - I hope they continue developing.

Show HN: Simple Badges – Simple Icons on Your Favorite Shields.io Badges
Around this time a year ago, I forked and built Simple Badges on top of the Simple Icons website. Existing projects on this often try to manually maintain a single, huge Markdown file containing pre-assembled Shields.io badges for people to pick. They usually require constant manual effort to follow upstream updates and may lack some icons as a result. Simple Badges automatically tracks upstream icon updates, provides a badge preview page that easy to navigate, and makes it easy to get all four styles of badges in Markdown or HTML img format.

If you happen to be refurbishing your profile - give Simple Badges a try! Suggestion and contribution are welcomed :-)
