Yeah, and that's after they had been publicly funded, amortised, and then sold on the cheap to private company. The perfect example of how not to do it.

It used to be done properly, for things like long bridges and such, where there would be a toll until the invested money was recovered.

Also, there is still the extensive network of nationales, départementales, and other streets and avenue that are still free.

Simon Cozens spent some time writing a new typesetter called SILE:

https://sile-typesetter.org/

On of the design goals was to be able to achieve exactly that kind of line matching. IIRC it can ensure that lines on the front & back of a page line up exactly too; apparently this is important for bibles?

Worth taking a look at. It recently acquired TeX style mathematics typesetting ability & has a small but active developer group.

The reality is that today's job market is not ten-years-ago market.

Employers and companies can't find enough developers to satisfy the demand.

They should provide a bit of wiggle room and train internally as well. Three months getting into a new language/framework is not that much compared with the cost of hiring.
Can you tell us OP's "orders" were, though? Because at this point you're just speculating and assuming the worst. Your comment about people working for unethical companies for a paycheck also comes off as classist and out of touch.

Edit: Hell, they said "ex" engineer. For all we know, they could have very well been there early on, taken issue with what they saw and then left because of that. Yet you and at least two others are assuming the worst and suggesting that they never be allowed to integrate with regular society.

Jesus.
This seems like a gold mine! thanks for the info.
Theory I have:

Text search on the web will slowly die. People will search video based content, and use the fact that a human spoke the information, as well as comments/upvotes to vet it as trustworthy material. Google search as we know it will slowly die, and then will decline like Facebook. TikTok will steal search marketshare as their video clips span all of human life.

> Lots of big claims about engines traditionally not being about editors, but nothing to back that up

Big claims? What the hell does that mean?

What about Bevy, the engine mentioned in the article this thread refers to? Also, most Rust engines. Also most engines you find in Github.

Or do you want a list? Here's some from the top of my head that I'm familiar with: Love2D, Irrlicht, Torque3D, Solar2D, MUGEN, Nebula, jMonkeyEngine, Panda3D (this one powered several Disney games), Cocos2D (it powered several popular games before Cocos Creator existed), Ogre3D (before having an editor). There's also plenty of Rust ones: Bevy itself, Amethyst, I could do more research, but I suggest checking Wikipedia.

This is also not counting studio-specific scriptable engines. I worked on a few and we didn't need scene editors, because we just used 3D editors and tags. That's definitely an engine, despite not having the tools you claim to be necessary.

You can make the case for those engines not be called engines anymore, or maybe engines with editors should perhaps be called something like "megaengines" or whatever, but there's definitely more than one type of engine.

Sorry but you can't retroactively change the name of things just because they don't fit your limited knowledge. The "engines must have editors" thinking is something that only happened in the last 10 years, a few years after Unity3D gained popularity, and while some newbies might assume that from this meme, it doesn't really represent the historical use of term or the usage of the term by the industry as a whole.
Yeah, back when I was growing up and Carmack was everyone's hero, "game engine" basically meant the game's main loop, and everything that supported that main loop. The code that makes the game actually work.

These days "game engine" basically means Microsoft Access for gamedev. And if you don't use one you're basically leaving money on the table, so it makes no sense to try and be a Carmack in today's scene.
Just tells that most of the media produced is fake news. All about agenda and lies. And then they don't even have standards to admit that they lied.
If you don't want to use stuffs from a country you viewed as adversary in your infra, government, army etc. that's totally reasonable, but just man up and say that out loud. Having these vague accusations thrown around like "Huawei phone is spying on you, and so is other Chinese brands like Xiaomi, so don't use them" is honestly just insulting as a customer when there's not a single shred of concrete evidence that something nefarious is going on.
As a former Nevada resident, and someone who has worked at the Test Site, I can assure you that it would be unusual if the folks living in Nevada objected. :-)
Xfce (Thunar, Xfce Terminal, Mousepad) also uses CTRL-PGUP/DOWN to cycle tabs, as does MATE (Caja, MATE Terminal, Pluma uses CTRL-ALT-PGUP/DOWN). Neither uses CTRL-TAB for tabs but to cycle through buttons/icons on the GUI.

As far as I can tell CTRL-TAB for tab cycling is not very wide spread. KDE uses it, but that supports CTRL-PGUP/DOWN as well.

edit: And I'm not sure why CTRL-TAB even works in KDE because the default shortcuts to cycle through tabs are CTRL-PGUP/DOWN and CTRL-[/] (tested on KDE neon).
I think what you're missing here is that the author is not looking for your sympathy, nor Twitter's sympathy. There's a larger point the author wishes to make about Twitter:

> Somehow they can do this, but racial slurs are generally pretty okay, white supremacy is largely ignored, and every Twitter troll I’ve reported for harassment gets a three-week investigation and then a “We find they did not violate our rules” email.

Note also that the author's goal is not getting unsuspended by Twitter, but rather this:

> I’ll not tweet for months if it gets someone to write “We as a company think the cat is revenge porn” in an email.

The previous non-existence of certain technology isn't enough on its own to make this determination. It's also necessary to look at the overall state of a society to tease out the true consequences of these kinds of issues. I think a consequentialist lens is helpful here.

If your local municipality started preventing people who had said objectionable things from crossing into the town via a public road, it would not follow that this is just fine because at one time, roads didn't exist.

If you take a step back, and look at it as an issue of freedom of association and/or free speech, things get a lot murkier. If an entire society morphs itself to use those private entities for public discourse, at some point it almost doesn't matter that the entity is private, if the ultimate outcome is a serious violation of one's rights to associate/speak.

This is at odds with the expectations a private company rightly has about its ability to do business with whom they please, and this is why the issue is so contentious.

Neither side of this issue stands on solid ground.
Hire for fire feels like an urban myth. We do a lot of work to find you, interview you, hire you, and train you. Managing someone out is also a lot of work.

Interesting. Not a cat fan myself, but it seems like most women in my life are, so I expected the opposite result -- I would have thought that posing with a cat would improve my odds.

> keep in mind that complex numbers are not rotations

Complex numbers are (isomorphic to) "amplitwists": similarity transformations between plane vectors. If you want a pure rotation, you need a unit-magnitude complex number.

The complex number 3 represents scaling by 3. The complex number 4 represents scaling by 4. The complex number 1 – 2i represents a scaling by √5 combined with a rotation clockwise by arctan(2). The complex number 8i represents a scaling by 8 combined with a quarter-turn anticlockwise rotation.

> complex numbers can be thought of plane vectors

No, (physics-style displacement) vectors and complex numbers are distinct structures and should not be conflated.

Complex numbers are best thought of as ratios of planar vectors. A complex number z = v/u is a quantity which turns the vector u into the vector v, or written out, zu = (v / u)u = v(u \ u) = v. (Concatenation here represents the geometric product, a.k.a. Clifford product.)

Mixing up vectors with ratios of vectors is a recipe for confusion.

> non-obvious way to multiply them

Multiplication of complex numbers is perfectly “obvious” once you understand that complex numbers scale and rotate planar vectors and i is a unit-magnitude bivector.

> 3D rotations are often represented by quaternions, which are more "complex" than complex numbers.

Analogous to complex numbers, quaternions are the even sub-algebra of the geometric algebra of 3-dimensional Euclidean space. Used to represent rotations, they are objects R which you can sandwich-multiply by a Euclidean vector v = RuR* to get another Euclidean vector, where * here means the geometric algebra “reverse” operation. Those of unit magnitude are elements of the spin group Spin(3).

Services have to (at least in some part) listen to those who pay for it. As long as tickets are priced to cover costs, there is an incentive to ensure enough people travel and that it hits a comfort/safety/trade of that most people are happy with. When people are not paying, there is no incentive to do anything but what is required to get the government subsidy.

In addition because it is so cheap there is a lot less competition from people taking the car instead, which means that there is even less pressure to make the train ride nicer. This hurts everybody, including those who do not have a car as an alternative.

Basically: by paying the fee you get a vote. If it is free you don't.
Previously one needed technical abilities. Now one needs to cry enough to get someone or a whole group banned from the unified platform.

The pace at which socialism on HN and progressive circles is being propelled is quite alarming. The same hand that feeds us, Capitalism, that's now being exercised in Asia to lift people out of poverty at an astonishing rate; the same hand is being bitten off by people who are enamored with the emotional appeal of socialism. It is too easy to sell socialism to public. An entire generation of people who value emotions over rational thought.

Note that the WHO has declared 7 of this specific category of emergency since it was defined 2009[1], so a little more frequently than every other year.

Hah! So if, as per the article, "imaginary numbers are square roots of negative numbers" then I am happy to report that:

1 = sqrt(1) = sqrt((-1) * (-1)) = sqrt(-1) * sqrt(-1) = sqrt(-1)^2 = -1

and all of mathematics collapses into a giant pile of logical nothingness. Ergo, imaginary numbers and mathematics cannot both be real.

Dreamweaver was a good idea, but impossible for them to maintain. In my experience it was regularly giving bad results.

In my experience, the ability of managers to recognize top talent when they have it is faulty and takes a long time. They tend to get false positives as they incorrectly value delivery time over things they can't measure, like quality. I can't count the number of times I've seen someone be praised in a group email or meeting for claiming to have fixed some urgent issue (with duct tape and bubblegum), and every single time without fail it was not worth the price and I at least cursed that person after in private. "Top talent" is also generally kind of a bin for a wide spectrum of people from ridiculous coding savants beyond compare to people who just think deeply and have been around a bit.

Also in my experience, what seems to matter a lot is experience. People who have failed and learned and who know good practices when they see them will just make more good decisions which won't come back to bite later.

I've found having some people with good experience and communication skills around can be great if they can be positioned to support less talented or experienced people. Finding a good balance and people with reasonable dispositions is important.
Actually, we know that the subset of R that can be used directly has measure zero. Everything else is a polite fiction to make some proofs work.
tl:dr What do I do if I just want a job that I enjoy and do not care much about the money?

I do not need a high paying job for various reasons, but I still want(/need?) to do something fulfilling and wouldn't mind getting paid for it.

I like research. I have been doing academic research for the past few years, so I am still considering a PhD. I definitely do not have to worry about a high salary there! But I also like plain old solving problems with programming, so I am considering going out and getting a job as a programmer (again).

Since I don't care much about high pay, and I do care about enjoyment and self-fulfillment, it seems that I should be picky if I am going to look for jobs. I do not find fulfillment in high compensation, though I understand that others might. I would rather do something fun, interesting, or unusual, while avoiding features I already know I dislike.

For example, I learned OOP a bit in college during my first-ever programming course (Java). It didn't stick and all I learned was that I don't like OOP. Surely this suggests I should avoid jobs/languages that require an OOP paradigm?

Like, sometimes I think I should just go back and hardcore brush up on my C programming and go get a job writing C somewhere. Or see if I can translate my academic R/Python skills somewhere. Or go learn some functional language and see if I can get a job doing that.

> Thinking of yourselves as someone who is a writer of a certain programming language is self constarining and missing the point.

I totally get where you are coming from. For example, many people do jobs they dislike or don't care about knowing that it enables activities/experiences/purchases they do like or care about. But really, does this not fully depend on what each person subjectively thinks "the point" is?

The point for me is that I would like to enjoy all of my life, not hate my work time and only enjoy my leisure time.

Maybe I'll figure it out someday.

Agreed, there are definitely some langs that go out of their way to be overly complex, obscured, obtuse, and proprietary in nature that I totally avoid.

Now most recruiters, and even hiring managers, rarely have an idea of the nuances of development during the interviews I attend... Because usually their a buddy of executives within the company more often than being there for their capabilities or educational background. When the technical component comes, I also often get paired by another dev within the company, or a person with a technical grasp that's totally outside of what they know, so keeping my knowledge diverse, and being able to adapt to what I don't know is key in order to be worth a good salary.

Adapt and improvise, manage their expectations of you, but most importantly, know how problems get solved correctly. The tools used don't matter if the house built is well done.
