I don't necessarily disagree with your assessment of the Bay Area. But as somebody who remembers Great America from its beginning, things were different all around compared to today. Also, 1976 being the US bicentennial, doesn't stretch the imagination that the park developers (Marriott back then) wanted to leverage the event and overall positive sentiment.

But ignoring the patriotism angle, back then, to the best of my recollection,
Marriott actually made a legitimate effort sticking to the park theming to try to give you a sense you were walking into another world (similar to the Disney approach). Each "land" (e.g. Hometown Square, Yankee Harbor, Yukon Territory, Orleans Place), was themed to a different US historical period, and the buildings, rides, decorations, and even the restaurants/food made a stronger effort to adhere to the historical themes in each land than they do today. You didn't need to feel patriotism in order to enjoy the immersion of being in a fantasy historical period/place.

In contrast, the last time I strolled through Great America, I got no sense of any theme, nor feeling that I have walked into another world. Ironically, the thing I remember most is the Claw Crane Machines were touting you could win iPhones. So instead of being able to escape into a fantasy reality, this really kept me stuck in the reality of our normal world.
I've been using it for a while now, there have been quite a few movies that weren't streaming anywhere else.
There's a (solder) jumper that was commonly adjusted for 'hard' mode where the level progression is a bit different (starts at a later level and skips a few early on), you can tell by where pac-man dies during attract mode. There were also hacked roms to speed things up; those weren't official, AFAIK.
Here's a literature reference supporting several of these points - https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s... :

> In decreasing order of strength, fertility (TFR) correlates negatively with education, [contraceptive prevalence rate], and GDP per capita, and positively with religiosity.
I don't think the issue is one of judgementalness, but of size.

I think one of the primary ideological motivations for treating governments and companies differently is to optimize freedoms. An action by a government has the ability to negatively affect millions of people who lack meaningful alternatives. By contrast until very recently any given action by a company could negatively affect the "freedoms" of an extremely small section of society, and there would generally be plentiful alternatives available. The only exceptions being in things like cartels, which is why we passed laws making such illegal. So optimizing for the freedoms of companies, and limiting those of governments, increases the overall freedom within a society, instead of reducing it.

But today while the actions of governments can negatively affect millions leaving them with minimal realistic alternatives, the actions of a handful of companies can negatively affect the freedoms of billions leaving them with minimal realistic alternatives. This is a scenario that's never really existed in humanity in a meaningfully similar way (the problems of e.g. Standard Oil or The East India Trading Company were quite different), and so we have no precedent or words of wisdom to guide us - we're on our own.
Not that there isn't any presedence. Any Non-US-Citizen would be stupid to assume any US-operated service wouldn't turn over their logs, data, keys or a government backdoor if the right three letter agency comes around the corner with the patriot act.

You might want to read up on the EU-US "privacy shield" and the reasoning behind why it has been abolished from the EU-side.

I trust encryption if it comes from nations that have shown a strong respect for their own and foreign citizens rights to human dignity and privacy, and if they have shown to balance these rights in a good way with other values such as national security. The US is not such a nation, by a far stretch. Are there worse nations by that metric? Sure. But the US might need to realized that it doesn't have such a good standing on freedom and human rights as its citizens like to tell themselves.

Not that places in Europe are saints here. But this about trust, and trust stands and falls with precedent and needs time and effort to be rebuilt. I have yet to see that effort.

You may be missing the point of a resume.

There are really two goals:
1. Get you through the door, so you can get an Informational with the Hiring Manager. This means passing the Recruiter and (usually) the Hiring Manager's 30-60 second screen while looking at 50 candidates. Often an email or a Linked In Message is more effective than a CV at this.

2. Sufficiently and credibly explain your background to the interviewers who will be reading it 5 minutes before the interview.

The CV needs to present well and be credible.

Okay, but Scott actually had a reasonable argument for why the level of anonymity he wanted was important. Scott was not trying to start a conversation, Scott was trying to be anonymous. That's why he's such a good example.
Yes it is more than depression alone. Although depression may be one component. It is also disenchantment and disconnect. Even a mild existential crisis maybe. And advice from people online is rarely helpful. He could try personal therapy or perhaps simply just live with it. We're all built in different ways, and we don't have to always react the same way to the world. In fact we can't... it is a pity that the world , like a complex program, is optimised for the happy path, and if you deviate, it starts to complain.
So you don't like to solve 2-3 leetcode style problems but would rather work a weekend on a project.
While I'm not in favor of LeetCode-style interviews, I recently had a fairly pleasant interview process with a company that used these coding challenges. The twist was that they were all camouflaged as scenarios that resemble their own business, instead of some random unrelated concept. I found that their effort to make the questions look relevant made it much more pleasant for me to actually feel engaged and solve them.

I did get an offer from them though, not sure how I would have felt if rejected.
> And so The Microsoft Network wasn't a program you loaded like CompuServe. It was part of the OS, with folder icons that looked just like real folders. It was a kind of version of the Web where you could browse online data the same way you browsed your file system. This is what made it cool.

I'm with you - I noticed that little pac-man, but it's not an optimal way to see the difference. Seems like scaling both images and doing an image diff would be much more effective. That's a standard tool in semiconductor manufacturing.
No, but as someone else pointed out: industrialism was going strong in Mordor and maybe even other places?
I think that you know that it does not work. First of all you don't declare what language it explains. Secondly, I tried the most simple example in the web app: to set a value to a variable. I tried "int i = 0;" and "var i = 0" and both return explanations for things that I have not written. Please, create first something that works and then try to promote it

Politics is a sufficient condition. Perhaps Sauron would not tolerate 'independent' Orcs he can't use as canon fodder?

Yeah, it's the humans which are hardest to explain away. Some peasants should have thought 'We're tried of paying taxes to Gondor. We'll just move and no one can or would even bother find us'.
Sounds like the Cedar Fair effect. They bought the theme park I grew up near (Kings Dominion) from paramount and within the following years, all the great paramount themed goodies (Hannah Barbara, etc) were gone and rebranded generically. Cedar Fair sure knows how to partner with Intamin to get some great coasters built, but can’t really build much character into parks. I used to work on an incredible drop coaster there and they themed it after a race car driver?
Which Linux specific features do you want though? Those features you listed seem available on iOS and android too.

Mondegreen – Mis-Hearing or Mis-Interpretation of a Phrase to Give a New Meaning
A nice compromise might be to make the information available to insurers and health care providers, by state law. Then e.g. the insurers (home, life, health) could work with license-holders or license-seekers to figure out what's necessary vs. what's based on contingency-fantasy-larp-stuff. With various premium differentials helping incentivize circumspect decisions.

If someone wants to skate the "life's deadly serious" line every day with live ammo while assuming there's this covert contract in which they get to believe the law forces the rest of us to trust them with human emotions and all that danger tucked away in a waistband--then hey go ahead and try that road, but the rest of our societal frameworks do not have to enable that specific behavior.

IMO it's only a matter of time before both drugs and firearms coexist on insurance & medical exam questionnaires. Especially as a point of fairness to everybody else working to keep things safe in more creative, productive ways, and also given the gun crimes happening every day in America. Growing up in a pro-gun family you get to watch the stakes continually being raised between "sides" which both have guns. It's a sadly thoughtless no-win and the logic is constantly thinned out by waves of subjective emotion.
This is a great example of how "distilling the user's needs" can lead to an extremely simple and useful design. I believe this will be a fairly popular product just like the robot vacuum cleaners we have today.
My own personal Mondegreen was 'Modern English' - 'I Melt with You', which I first heard on AM-radio.

The Lyric I 'heard' was "I'll stop the world and {meld} with you" and not "I'll stop the world and {melt} with you"

In my mind, I heard 'Meld' as in;

To mix together so that the components are indistinguishable, i.e. an amalgam, an amalgamation.

This reads a lot like the style of Pandas I teach.[0]

This seems to have resolved a problem with SQL, you can't read it in a linear fashion.

When we start getting query optimizers for Pandas, much of the benefit of SQL will go away.

Privacy experts warn the end of cookie consent pop-ups will come at a cost
Processing confusion is a biggie in dealing with the forces of humanity around you and distinguishing a sense of self in the pandemonium. Addressing confusing on a test is also important, to know whether or not you are guessing, and spending more or less time accordingly, even skipping and coming back(because other questions can actually give you the answer, or the mental waypoint for retrieving it).
I don't think what people actually want is a "linux phone". IE, something that runs a semi-conventional linux userspace.

I think what they want is a privacy protecting smart phone built on open source components. Also, Android is based on a driver and BSP model that is quickly going to be replaced with Fuchsia/Zircon
I don’t think my Mac allows GPS to be passed, but IP gives an approximation. Not sure how to get around that.

MSN had an amazing Quake 2 and just general multiplayer games service for a while, I want to say it was called Games.com or something like that. The one day, poof it was gone.
You can do whatever you want. You just need to prove that it is correct. I guess I wasn't as clear as I hoped I would be.

I don't think the Array indexing issue can be dealt with by (just) improving its interface specification. I think the proper fix for this is beyond what can reasonably be done in any language that doesn't come with a notion of correctness and proof.
> if the work was politically motivated then it won't be reproducible.

Why not? If indeed there is a bias ib social science then we could expect some conclusions to remain unpublished if they contradict the bias. But I don't see why the results that do get published wouldn't be reproducible.
Is this actually the Bingbot crawling for the index, or do they just use the same bingbot code to generate link previews?

If I have a well-tested crawler sitting here, I don't see why I'd write a brand new one just to fetch previews in outlook...
> (I wish GDB could print a source listing around the breakpoint as context, like Delve, but no such feature exists. The woeful list command is inadequate.)

I don't know what Delve does, but learning about GDB's Terminal User Interface (TUI) has been a blessing for me in that regard.
Noone from trading takes the research side seriously and in any case, the research side is independent from trading and has their own view. Trading can't even read the research before it gets published let alone influence it.

If you're interested in investing of course you should do your own research and definitely not pay the slightest bit of attention to any kind of opinion coming out of anyone else. I always took the view that everyone publishing research is looking after their own interests and if I want any sort of edge I need to put in the work for myself.
I agree padding is a good solution when you can arrange it.

An honest questions: How much have you worked with Angular? I have worked with it since the first release and what I see that it is steadily (albeit sometimes slowly) going into the right direction.

“Privacy harms of online tracking are not limited to cookies so we would wish to understand what the government and the regulator propose, especially with regards to a browser-based signal.”

This is a big issue. Everybody talks about cookies while there are still other ways to track people.
Robotics is very much split into research users and industry.
In industrial automation you buy a device (say a sensor or programmable logic controller) that comes with a few supported protocols. Typically a field-bus for realtime communication. And for the fancy ones also OPC UA (ISO 62541).

I don't know automation vendors that sell devices with ROS-support out of the box. With the use of Python it must be hard to get ROS safety-certified.

OPC UA is like a merge of ROS (channels for PubSub communication) and "CORBA done right" (an object-model that can be transparently interacted with over the network).

Full transparency, I maintain open62541, an open source implementation of OPC UA.
What is a query optimizer for Pandas?
There are whole regions of America that are almost post apocalyptic. People dying of drugs everywhere, rampant hopelessness, mass murder and gang violence, millions of people in prison, etc. Then there are other parts of America that look like paradise. America is a big place. It's like 50 countries lumped into one. In some places it's the best of times, in others it's the worst of times. We tend not to hear too much about the bad places. They are like a shit stain on America's underwear. We keep it hidden as best we can because no one respects a poopy pants.

I remember watching a documentary about a ghetto in some U.S. city. There was a lady who had just moved into a new appartment. She was thrilled that her new appartment was double the size of her old one, but there was some downsides... in particular, stray bullets from gang shootouts kept coming through her window. She showed the interviewer the bullet holes on the wall. Then she was like, "Yeah, but other than that it's a nice place."

It was a shocking reminder that people tend to just adapt to their environment and try to make the best of things. A lot of people have adapted to poor conditions in America, but they try to make the best of it and most people remain silent as they quietly try to eke their way through this world.
I can confirm it. I have a commercial vacuum packing machine, and a bag of rice sealed in it becomes a brick. You can't displace a grain of rice without damaging the vacuum.
I doubt that a laptop inside this bag would survive it.
This can be generalized to any opinionated technology: making a platform/language/whatever more opinionated lifts the average case, and lowers the ceiling. This is one of many pervasive and recurring trade-offs in our industry. The web is an opinionated platform, that has this giant escape-hatch called JavaScript. If you choose to go off-roading, you have more power and also more responsibility.
The point is to hire people who mastered skills different than what you have. You see interest in text editing as a major factor, but there are probably many software engineers who have no interest in text editing and just writes stuff manually with no focus on tricks, and are still very productive since really writing 100 lines of code is just a few minutes of typing but still plenty for a days worth of work.
You've never met heard of her. She lives in Canada.
Does anyone have actual metrics about whether this stuff works or not?

All I see is anecdote after anecdote in both directions.

I often look at these struggles with modern operating systems and think "BeOS wouldn't have done this". Then I laugh because in that world, BeOS would be where MacOS is now (quite literally certain on this), and would probably have resulted in the same product.
They're not "independently maintained" websites, they all license their data from the same 3rd party data company and re-publish it on their own websites.
> You just described every frontend framework. None of these are unique to Angular. Any developer with an understanding of JS can learn and use any framework in the exact same way.

You just summed up, why he said Angular is better in this regard. Yes any developer with experience CAN lean how to write good structured React apps. In Angular it is basically enforced.
I think you are missing the point of the GP post. Yes, a resume/CV is a marketing document designed to get you past an initial screen, and to tell an interviewer what you are about. But, ideally (and it's certainly not too much to ask), such a document should also be accurate. "Marketing" and "lies" should theoretically be disjoint sets.

Unfortunately, the fact that so many people outright lie on their resumes means that people who don't are at a disadvantage.
I just read a few of your blog posts and I'm sure you'll be hired quickly.

Easy to see that you're an old perl hacker that's now into rust and you're active in community stuff that matters (LWN, CPAN).

I feel like you might over-share on your blog in a way that could turn off potential employers, but those are companies you wouldn't want to work for anyway.

I get the vibe you might be opinionated and risky, but are clearly technically competent.

I'd probably put you in a team with other rust-enthusiasts for maximum success. You're likely to inspire newer developers.

You might want to take HTML/CSS/JS off your resume because JS pretty much means React/Vue/Angular these days and you don't seem too interested in that stuff.

That's the sort of stuff I'd check about you before the interview.

Good luck!
