Apparently individuals are responsible keeping an eye on their credit report, though.
That's a binary way of thinking. Sorites paradox. Individuals taking individual action, collectively together over time, can influence systemic change at top levels, more effectively than just waiting for the top levels to change their mind on their own.
I'm still waiting for my previous payout.

The war was over after the Marianas were taken, if not at Midway. It doesn’t seem right to discount the industrial might like you do when the US produced dozens and dozens of carriers and escort carriers while the Japanese produced four or five more.

But beyond that lots of reasons,

- Intelligence and damage control (mentioned elsewhere)

- The air war of attrition started early, with the Japanese sending flights 600 miles from Rabaul to the Coral Sea. They didn’t rotate their pilots out to recuperate as the Americans did. The average Japanese pilot was a novice compared to his more numerous American adversaries by 44, and flying a very inferior plane compared to the newer F6F’s. And he could expect to fly sorties until he was killed, which by the end of the war was not much longer than one flight.

- Despite starting the war with Pearl Harbor, Japanese doctrine at the top never really moved on beyond Mahan and their plans tended to obsess with engineering a repeat of Tsushima. Yamamoto’s Midway disaster was an attempt to do just this. Compare to the American carrier raid tactics from Doolittle onwards.

- The Japanese were successfully starved of fuel, and for that reason couldn’t even get their big ships out of port before Leyte, which was a doomed banzai charge at sea.
How about "Negative levy! X% of you income tax now paid by polluting corporations"
Although the results are not surprising, it is interesting to think how this became a problem in the first place. You'd think a school would know what's appropriate for the classroom and have banned phones from day one.

I'd get in trouble just for bringing card games.

Well... losing their entire investment would certainly be a repercussion.
That would be a -100% yield on investment, not 0%.
I never really got the labor of theory of value. It seems like the idea is that value comes from working hard, regardless of whether you actually accomplished anything? What does the labor theory of value have to say about bullshit jobs? How do you decide what efficiency means if you measure value based on inputs rather than results?
I'm just thinking that for the high energy density would a Hydrogen (fuel cell?) pressure washer work?

I was in favor of aggressive lockdowns at the time, but I live in a part of the US that proudly does not lockdown or wear masks. I think we had 2 weeks of total "lockdown" when people were legitimately scared. We haven't had significantly more deaths per capita than other stricter parts of the country.

We now have examples from all around the globe. China's super strict approach seems like it sort of worked for a while, but even they had cases.
This was much more informative than companies' own videos. They should have invited somebody like that to make a video about them long time ago, before the narrative got hijacked by the "skeptics" with a very vague understanding of how things work.
I'm not sure I follow. Most of the examples you used still centered on main characters for the series. They were often disjoint story lines.

None of which is to say that this is unique. It just isn't what I would call formulaic.
I used to think YAML would be great for that sort of thing. Now, having dealt with some large YAML files, I understand at least a couple of reasons why people don't like it for that. Things that are invisible when visually looking at a file, and not really detectable by IDEs or linters or anything (because they would have to assume your intent).

In a small file, semantic indentation is beautiful. In a large file where you have to scroll and scroll to find out where you are, it's a pain. And perhaps importantly - can't be autoformatted. Your IDE doesn't know what indentation level you intended, and without braces/brackets to tell it, it can't detect errors.

There's parsing automagic wackiness if you're not careful (the famous example: country abbreviation NO for Norway becomes FALSE).

The nice feature of references is almost never actually used in practice. An incorrect or circular reference can look fine but badly break things.

Yaml typing is application (and version) dependent so not really useful.

There's more, but basically JSON, though simpler and uglier, prevents all of those. You can, and pretty much have to, use an alternative 'safe YAML' parser, but even that doesn't solve some of the problems.
> If you want to pay me for availability that's fine, my rate is 1.5x. If you don't, that's fine too.

While I agree with your sentiment, I don't think 1.5x for 48 hours for being on call over a weekend is a sensible or reasonable ask.

Personally I'd be happy to manage/curtail the occasional weekend's social activity for 2 days pay (or time in lieu), at least as long as it's not as frequent as every month. While almost 2 weeks pay for being on call (and potentially never actually paged) would be nice, it's a kind of insane ask that just sends the wrong message in my opinion. If you don't want to do on call, just say so. Don't risk being mis interpreted as being a money-grubbing mercenary by pretending you'd be happy to do it for a high enough price that it would be totally impractical for most businesses to pay.

(If you came to me with the demand for 72 hours pay for being on call over a weekend, I'd advertise your position with a "regular 1 web in 6 on call" in the job description explaining you get 2 days pay for being on call for a weekend, then PIP you out for being a jerk as soon as I could. You're looking a lot like either a money-grubbing mercenary, or a spectacularly bad communicator.)
It is false, your anecdote notwithstanding. Nominal wages are not staying "still same" for the average person in the US. The Atlanta Fed posts the median nominal wage growth nationwide, which is around 6.7% as of June 2022 [0]. If we looked at the average, this number would be even higher, because outliers skew the distribution upwards.

Now, if the statement were more like, "The average person is worse off in spite of wage growth because of inflation," I would wholly agree. But wages have not stayed the same.

I'm not saying to _not_ try it. It's just going to be a dumpster-fire-money-pit that has an extremely high probability of either bankrupting you or producing nothing of significant value. This isn't a shot at OP. The best way to force change here isn't yet another journal, but rather fix the access issues of current journals, convince them it's a good idea to be less exclusive (ever noticed certain initials tend to be published more than others?), and moreover stop the university-journal death-bond that currently is in the market.

Good luck at any rate.

individuals are "responsible" for "keeping an eye on their credit report" in the same way that individuals are "responsible" for having an alarm system. They're both proactive things you can do to reduce the risk of something bad happening to you, but if you fail to do it you're not going to be punished for it. Not having an alarm system doesn't mean the burglar gets to keep your TV, and not keeping an eye on your credit report doesn't mean you're responsible for the fraudulent debt.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_W._Nimitz

Nimitz faced superior Japanese forces at the crucial defensive actions of the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway.

The US navy has so much respect for him, a construction project was haulted because it could cast a shadow on this mans house.

"In 1998, the house became a bizarre flashpoint in the construction of the new Bay Bridge when the Navy refused to let Caltrans engineers onto Yerba Buena Island. Why? Their design called for a span that would cast a shadow on the Nimitz House."

Did this 20 years ago in an FMMS. It's not worth it. It's better to have an arbiter source of truth that can guarantee ACID principles with transactions rather than introduce merge conflicts or lose transactions for lack of synchronization. The internet is almost everywhere, so use that rather than provide academic features that cause more headaches than they solve. SQL databases with transactions and row locks are invaluable inventions.

Also, if you want to collaborate, synergize, innovate, and revolutionize consider OTs. They're a known quantity. Handling merges of data is fraught with landmines.

You can't sell 2 of something to the same person offline and know if they wanted 1 or 2. Plus, giving an end user the ability to resolve merge conflicts is asking for theft and fraud.
It's clear that the "single engineer" thing is a lie. Many engineers commented on the Chrome issue with opposing viewpoints, and even the original post describes it being escalated to tech leads on both sides, getting more people involved. I guarantee if it was only one person standing alone opposed to trailers then they would have been overruled. As you say, it's a good thing that Chrome resists adding the pet features of every other Google team to the web.
That's why you are being paid for it. Just not your full/standard/normal rate because you are not fully working. You're just available to work in case of emergencies.
‘Risks posed by AI are real’: EU moves to beat the algorithms that ruin lives
> How so? It is not solved on the network level (due to its use of TCP), but it is solved on application layer: slow response to one request is not blocking other requests.

Like you said, it does not solve the network level:

- in HTTP/2, A packet drop will slow down every HTTP transaction.

- In HTTP/1 with a session pool (The usual web browser way of doing thing), it will slow down only one over X (X, size of the pool).

This has been found to be a big problem over (unreliable) mobile network and that makes HTTP/2 sometimes even worst than HTTP/1.

What I meant with "accessible SDN solutions" are things like Tailscale, ZeroTier, Nebula or one of those WireGuard key/route distribution servers which a few people have implemented in slightly different ways. (There used to be a good comparison of some of those but I can't find it anymore.)

P2P programs where connections between devices with no common ownership/coordination don't matter (i.e. Syncthing if you're not sharing with other people) could ditch that layer and rely on an external SDN now that they've become easier to use. Of course, that makes those programs potentially less flexible and it requires users to set up another thing™ so I understand why developers of P2P programs might not wanna do that. But in theory it would be nice because we could have all SDN concerns in one system and not duplicated in every program that needs global discovery/connections.
This smacks of so much privelidge. As a food service worker who had no choice but to continue working through the pandemic, exposing myself to much unnecessary danger and general unpleasantness in dealing woth the public, I am offended. Anyone able to isolate during this time should have done so. If everyone had, we wouldn't still be in this mess.
Are we all mindless automatons? I've had it with the binary thinking. How about you pay for your friend's weekend away with his girlfriend, and don't sleep with her yourself? How about pay for carbon offsets and reduce your personal emissions? I don't think I've ever read an article that says if you buy offsets then you can just keep living as you always have. I've seen a lot of articles that accompany carbon offset information with tips on how to reduce your emissions, though.
That is their whole point. That is why they exist. Dumb reliable pipe, please keep your silly semantics away.
I was outside for 3 days straight in Kansas a few weeks ago, without shade from 1pm to 6pm, during an extreme heat warning. I applied 30spf Australian Gold at 8AM and at 1pm.

things like this are why I am convinced that humanity is doomed. we will ultimately fail as a species, and we will deserve that fate a million times over.

believing you can get away with something like this is sometimes all a person needs to make the decision to torture and mutilate a fellow human being. you see it in wartime, you see it in peacetime, you see it on large scales and small.

humanity is doomed, because we are a garbage species.
They mentioned this in the article:

“7. “It’s part of the job for all software engineers and not paid additional.”

This approach is common at many companies. A few which stand out:

Companies paying top of the market. Places which sit in the top tier of the trimodal nature of salaries usually pay far more without compensating for oncall, than lower-tier companies with very generous oncall compensation do.

Big Tech. Most of Big Tech don't pay for oncall with cash compensation. Google is the only exception.”
If you want to be close to Germany then maybe London? The attitude to remote work and contracting is really nice here.
Assuming you have 12 hour shifts, I always felt it was tuned so that a full weekend oncall shift (2 days of 12 hours each) gives you 2 days of vacation.

> No one is changing anything about their lives and that should be more than obvious to anyone paying attention.

Some people are changing things about their lives. It might be 1% of the population, but that 1% should be put on a pedestal instead of treated as non-existent like is happening here. A much more accurate statement would be:

"Only 1% of the population is selflessly making the choice to sacrifice quality of life/convenience to significantly decrease their emissions, whereas 99% is not doing this at all."
Someone as far ahead of the curve as you clearly are might enjoy the second chapter of Coders at Work, which is an interview with Brad Fitzpatrick. bfitz wrote everything from memcached to big chunks of TailScale and much in between.

He went to university in CS but would have been bored to sleep if he didn’t have something else going on, so he founded and ran LiveJournal simultaneously.

I bet someone on this thread knows him and I bet he’d take the time to offer some pointers to an up-and-comer like yourself. I’ve never met him, but I did some business with Six Apart in a previous life and people say he’s a really nice guy.

Either way, keep it up!
Thousands of years of history disagrees with this kind of reductionism.
> A 5 minute response time means to respond to the call out and start working on it. If you're on call, you should have a suitable WFH setup and it should be on standby,

That pretty much implies you cannot leave your home while on call.

I've never _quite_ had that demanding an on call requirement. For me the only "5 min response time" requirement has been to acknowledge the notification (mostly so it doesn't get sent to the escalation on call staff), and the requirement to be "on tools" has never been shorter than 30mins. That means I can at least head to a nearby cafe for breakfast, or go do some grocery shopping, or even head out for lunch somewhere nearby with friends. I meant I couldn't do things like go to movies or concerts or events more than 20-ish minutes from home (unless they were events I could reasonably take a laptop to and assume there'd be somewhere quiet for me to disappear to for as long as it took.)
No, they're saying the inconvenience of having to be (approximately) butt-in-desk doing your job is greater than the inconvenience of having to be near your home.

And that is absolutely true.

And what threat do they pose to Asians anyway? The people saying “there’s too many Asians in tech” are mostly on the left, not the right. And the ones with the power to do anything about it are almost all on the left. There’s a lot worse that can happen to Asians in this country than being called names, and most of those threats are coming from progressives. And, frankly, whatever MTG says about Muslim immigrants, my mom has said worse about white southerners with GEDs. That stuff isn’t a political issue with a political solution.

And what happens if MTG becomes President? My kids will have to say the pledge of allegiance three times a day? Great! That’s far less scary to me than some progressive trying to teach my kid to build their “AAPI identity” around shit that happened to Chinese people 150 years ago: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/schools-are-start.... Asians believe that the way you view the world, and the attitudes you have, matters for your success. Progressive education is terrifying in this respect.

I prefer a store that sells both new and old books. The new books are likely to be worthless (if not already today, then before long), but okay, they pay the rent. (ALL of my fav used-only stores are gone.)

There are many books and little time. So 1) most books worth reading will be remembered a decade or a century later, and will be talked and/or written about for a long time. 2) Buying a used book is a risk for the bookstore, and they vet each book that walks in to be sure it's likely to sell.

Most of the books I've read and held onto got past both those filters; I've heard about the book, am interested, and there's still a copy out there.

And so, the store which sells both new and old is the only game in town. Will I ever buy a book online? IFF the place sells used books. Else: interlibrary loan is a great service.

Being on call varies tremendously depending on the environment. I've been on two different on-calls, and they couldn't have been more different.

On-call #1. Averaged one page every week or two. Pages typically resulted from a failed automated process, which was scheduled to avoid running in the wee hours of the night. Most pages could be handled remotely, in about 10-15 minutes. For issues that required going in, even if the root cause couldn't be determined, the system could be brought to a safe state with further troubleshooting done the next day. If there was an overnight issue, you were not expected in until the afternoon, and supervisors would actively tell you to go home and sleep if you were there in the morning.

On-call #2. Averaged 3-5 pages per day. Pages occurred at random times during the day or night, with little to no predictability. All pages could be handled remotely, but typically took 1-3 hours to resolve. Issues frequently required creative problem solving, which was expected regardless of time of day. If there was an overnight issue, you were still expected to be on-site for the daily 7:30 AM meeting.

There was a drastic different in quality of life between the two on-calls. The first was as you say, an on call with the expectation that most of the time nothing will go wrong. The second would be more accurately described as a "working nights and weekends rotation", rather than an "on call rotation"

Here is an example - birth control pills.

Hormones excreted in the urine are measurable in waterways. Hormones have an impact on all sorts of organisms, even at low concentrations.

Would it have been better to ban birth control pills until we figured out a way to avoid contaminating waterways? What if we never figured it out?

Would the world be a better place without birth control pills but hormone-free waterways?
