> you don't actually legally have the right to hide your financial transactions besides

Maybe you don't, but that's what happens by default when using cash
We want to compete in elaborate made-up games both physical and intellectual, hold fancy parties and dress up and play pretend together and basically have a blast all the time. I don't think we're that hard to decipher.

The stuff we got to do to keep the lights on prevents us from doing that fulltime. For now.

Edit: Although in the West, if you have some cash, even work-life seems more and more like a pretend play. We all dress up and act professional so we can weave a nice narrative about being productive when that clearly is very questionable. There's a truckload of gaming going on on just about every level. OK, I might be having a bad day..
The Firefox addon is called Old Reddit Redirect ... but there is also Redirector which is a more generic redirector, for any websites and patterns. But to be able to use them on Firefox Android, you have to use an addon collection.
Both r/random and r/randnsfw are broken, they appear to be reseeding every day rather than every request, a bit of a bizarre bug.

For what it's worth the reddit admins acknowledged it's non-functioning a few weeks ago but I don't think anything has come from that yet.
Perfect Reddit comment ;)
Using Windows or macOS in the first place already runs afoul of best practices for privacy and security.
That is just incredible. Just a rant, I test multiple databases every 6 months and I think that MySQL is unfairly treated because of Oracle acquisition. For my use-case (store TBs of structured text data, single writer) there is no better (considering performance, replication and compression) than MySQL 8 with MyRocks engine (https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/8.0/myrocks/index.ht...)
While the article's point is well-taken and frequently correct, I'll disagree in part.

In the best of cases, the value brought by a gift can radically exceed the market value of the gift itself.

Time with a loved-one or assistance in a time of need can, indeed, be priceless; something the recipient could not have realistically gotten for themselves, especially on short notice, at any price.

A gift of something that someone would, without doubt, enjoy but never acquire for themselves can also unlock value that otherwise never would have existed. I can think of a few such gifts in my lifetime that made a huge impression.

A helpful rubric in most cases, though, is to ask, "does the gift I'm about to give impose significant obligations onto the recipient?" If so, it may be very wise to alter the gift in such a way as to limit the ways in which the recipient's future may be restricted.

Cash is pretty good in this regard -- it carries few obligations and is as fungible as anything created by humans. It can frequently be traded for time, the most-precious of all commodities.
Temporarily, yeah; but long-term, it's correct that this will incentivize more mustard growing.
The 'service' is a contract on the chain. It exists and operates because thousands of other people are running nodes that run that chain. It still works today if you access the static front end website via ipfs or have a local clone of it or manually build and submit the transactions via your own local node.

So, once deployed, there really isn't anything to 'run' in order for it to continue.
That's really interesting, how do you manage the conversion for the person accepting the funds abroad? Generally you have to tap into a partner network you build right? Or are you partnering up with some existing provider to use their infrastructure?
I’d argue there could be a reason to use ‘least’ over ‘fewer’: they may be intending to emphasize the lesser impact of some changes over others, and not simply be referring to the number of changes that were made. It is possible to have a larger number of changes to a route and still end up with a lower impact to riders than another route than technically has fewer changes.

Completely agree on the language crusade, we have these fads and memes all the time where some people decide there’s only one way and try to forcefully correct others without understanding the history of these words. I have even been guilty of doing this on occasion in the past but have learned over time that language policing is almost never correct. It is not wrong to say “myriad of”. The word “literally” has been used for figurative emphasis for hundreds of years by some of our greatest writers. Responding to a ‘how are you?’ with “I’m good” or “I’m doing good” rather than “well” is not incorrect and does not communicate that you’re an angel. People, all of us I think, are just prone to getting notions about what’s right and wanting to demonstrate our found knowledge, but it’s easy to not be aware of alternatives.
Like they were in Mac OS back in the day, when files had resource forks and data forks?

Or like magic numbers in UNIX/Linux?

The whole extension thing was odd from the beginning. When I first used Windows, after years of UNIX, extensions puzzled me. On UNIX, they told ME something, the OS and apps didn’t need them (/etc/magic did the trick), but here they were on Windows being given semantic value.

Ironically, now that I think about it, I found Windows extensions odd for the same reason that some find hiding dotfiles on UNIX/Linux odd. This makes me chuckle ruefully.

My apologies; I misunderstood your previous post. Nevertheless, let's suppose there is a falsifiable prime mover, and we have somehow discovered it. Being falsifiable, however, means we can ask what made it true rather than false, so the regression does not stop.

Rather ironically, the "there must be a prime mover" argument for God can only avoid being blatantly arbitrary, tendentious and self-serving by saying God had no choice in anything, which is definitely not what most religious people want to believe.
>I think there is a big middle ground between no skill assessments/casual chat and onerous skill assessments [...] Hiring managers need to actually spend time constructing a process that has questions (and if needed, exercises)

The problem is you're using your own perspective of "reasonable middle ground" and thinking that other candidates would agree with you. Many would not.

Here's an example of "you shouldn't have to go through that crap when your resume clearly states you are capable." : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11596553

So regardless of any "job-specific" skills assessment you come up with, you will still get complaints from many because they feel their resume of experience, (or github portfolio, or college degree, etc) -- should already prove that they know how to code. This is not an uncommon sentiment! E.g. "Making me demonstrate my coding skill is an insult when you could just look at my resume credentials. Does a pharmacist show how they dispense pills to get hired?!?"

Or variations on your "reasonable skills assessment" with creative exercises such as "here's an existing bug ticket for a code defect; show us how you debug it" ... still has some complaints of "demonstrating my coding skill is unfair because I get nervous in interview situations because there's an imbalanced power dynamic between interviewer and interviewee."

Ok, instead of interview because you get nervous under pressure, here's some coding homework. Of which this "reasonable" alternative has pushback from some comments in this subthread.

Various threads about "hiring is broken" is evidence of the ever elusive "reasonable middle ground" that we're chasing after.
They can certainly give it their best shot if they want to deal with the consequences. That's how the world actually works. Institutions like the UN are almost entirely powerless when it comes down to it, while eg NATO or the various militarily powerful nations are not. You can witness that with what has gone on in the invasion of Ukraine, what has the UN stopped or prevented? Nothing. The same will hold true when China invades Taiwan one day.

The countries with potent military capabilities dictate how everything goes in this world. It was true a thousand years ago, it was true a hundred years ago, and it's true today. It will always be true, for very obvious reasons.
Losing the original customer voice and statements and context and breaking them down in to stories plays a large part as a condition leading to software that overall lacks a baseline level of polish and coherence, and which pits individual changes against each other at a micro level instead of caring for overall experiences or ever letting polish-level quality jump ahead of other pressing work
> You can't rewrite history in git without changing commit IDs.

But "not changing commit IDs" isn't part of git's utility. Not inherently.

This is easily proven by the fact that people do rewrite history. Because it's a useful feature to have.

To say that you can't rewrite history without changing commit IDs is like saying you can't prove a certain point without using the letter 'e'. Like… why are you even bringing up such a restriction?

> but blockchain means something different in people's mind

Right. Blockchain means "distributed ledger", which git is not. To say that git is one too is a technicality on the level of saying it's "wrong" to say "have your cake and eat it too", when it's actually "eat your cake and have it too".

It's not wrong, just not meaningful.

The only reason, in my opinion, to talk about the similarities between "blockchain" and git is to do exactly what this article does: to remove confusion in the mind of the listener that they are in any way meaningfully similar.

> I've seen some interesting PoW proposals, like mail anti-spam, or rate limiting/captcha.

Maybe in the future you'll mine the next cryptocurrency by proof of work in the form of "help this self-driving car that's stuck at an intersection it doesn't understand".
It's hard to go wrong with some bars of chocolate. In case the receiver doesn't fancy chocolates, they can either be served to guests, or even regifted (just try to avoid cycling back to original giver:-).

If it's somebody's 60th birthday, try find a bar with a clearly advertised 60% cocoa content to add some personalization.

Of course this only works as a relatively low value gift...
(From Wikipedia) The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States ensures that "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

(Also) Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states:
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

It’s generally understood that without privacy people are effectively disenfranchised politically, because any expression of an contentious opinion or association with subversive or dissident thinkers becomes potentially so harmful that wise people would avoid both and keep almost entirely to themselves or family.
The role of a programmer is really weird in the sense that the complexity of tasks you are expected to do is in no way limited by your job title or domain.

I presume technology sector pays more attention because the task of programmer is ill defined, and that it's quite hard to define exactly what you are looking for based on external standards.
The maximum GDPR fine is the higher of €20 million or 4% of global turnover, which is pretty substantial. In Google's case the maximum fine based on 2021 revenue would be ~€10 billion, about 13% of their profits in that year. It's not completely crippling but it's a significant hit, especially considering that they can get fined again and again for additional violations.

The fines are a much bigger deal for companies with lower profit margins - Amazon had ~€470 billion in revenue in 2021, and only ~€8 billion in profits. The maximum fine Amazon could receive is ~€18.8 billion - more than two years of profits. A single severe violation potentially putting them in the red for 2 years is a pretty strong penalty.

The point of gifts for most people is to remind them of their loved ones.

Sure, that bottle of wine might not have been the one you would have bought on your own, but the fact that you can say “hey let’s try that wine X got for us” is a utility-adding thing for most people.

I have been gradually moving from asdf to nix shell plus direnv combo. It handles system level dependent packages in addition to programming language version. Pinning the exact version is not a first class feature as of today, though possible by pinning the nixpkg to a specific commit. Hopefully nix flakes will solve this use case well when it is stable.

I would concur, having used c++ as my daily driver since before the 98 standard, I prefer the new way to the old on mostly everything. Clang-tidy has modernization checks to help with stuff like that. I don't go trying to use the new features on purpose, but when I do something that has a new way, I do it. Pass by value, move don't copy. Auto wherever I can, but decorate the type on the rhs.
> You pass the bar 1 time. Not every couple years.

You maintain a current law license, which requires having passed the bar once, continuing education requirements, and the absence of professional mal-, mis-, or non-feasance sufficient to lose that license. Taken together, the requirements are ongoing, though some individual elements are one-time.

I primarily use C, but C++ when the platform/compiler supports it.

I do mostly games and graphical demos on a wide range of exotic and retro hardware, which always has a C compiler, but not always a compiler that supports C++. Also, i feel like i have more control over every bit and clock cycle in C than in C++, although i know it’s technically possible to use C++11 on a Commodore 64.

On projects where i can use C++ i use the following tools: CMake, Clion (IDE), Catch2 testing framework. Often ImGUI for quick debugging UIs.
Yeah, over here, companies don't understand why anyone would want that. Surely the generic job description with 10 bullet points has answered all your questions, or you wouldn't have applied (/s)?

Then they go on to complain that candidates will jump off and that they can't find enough employees.
I agree they usually withhold details of the case. But I don't think they would flat-out lie about the charges being brought.

" good managers has always been important, and there's really no way to test for that. For whatever reason, we seem to think we get to play by different rules."

I presume one reason may be because tech industry may be a bit insular, and full of people who enjoy creating complex models of the world - trying to find a perfect technological solution to everything (when they should just try to find a good hiring manager in stead).
Best open source game I've ever played. Sadly it is written in Java.
yeah, no it's the other people. meetings have a collective IQ of the dumbest person in the room divided by the number of participants.
strongly agree. c++ without shared_ptr and unique_ptr is not a language i want to use. although the primary reason i like c++ is templates, so the grandparent poster and i would probably have nearly opposite ideas of what the good subset of c++ is.
"But in the new system, for example, the team has found that by turning one turbine just slightly away from its own maximum output position — perhaps 20 degrees away from its individual peak output angle — the resulting increase in power output from one or more downwind units will more than make up for the slight reduction in output from the first unit."

I assume that this could also increase the speed of a cooperative convoy of sailboats, that have a good reason to stay close. I wonder if the fleets of sailing ships of Admiral Nelson's time took advantage of this. A few extra ergs of force in a sea chase could make a large difference.

This brings back some memories. Long ago worked at BIGCORP which utilised JIRA for everything, including time logging in non-revenue generating teams. It was a time consuming activity everyone had to suffer. We spent around 30mins at the end of each day doing this, most of that time spent on selecting the right drop-downs.

It was some PTSD inducing work and I couldn't put up with it any longer so I wrote a CLI utility in python where I'd track my work throughout the day, a simple one-liner of the work I did with some hashtags for routing to the right project/client. At the end of the day I would "process" my entries by typing one command which ran chrome+selenium automation to do the work for me. [edit] From memory, API use wasn't allowed which is why I had to take this route - it was also a great conversation starter for anyone passing by while it ran.

I saved a tonne of time and aggravation, others noticed, so I set them up with the same. A nice byproduct of this: all the entries were also kept in a local sqlite database which allowed you to quickly search and find answers for follow-ups without touching JIRA, all with a few characters in the terminal.
Could even take it one step further and say that Google is flaunting bad behavior to put regulator eyes on it on purpose. Since Google controls the market anyway it would actually help to discourage competitors.

Not to be "that [old] person" but I do feel like the internet has ruined gift-giving a bit. It used to be that if you traveled somewhere or happened upon a unique shop you could find a gift that the recipient would have otherwise never have known about or come across on their own. Now everything is commodified. Everyone can get everything from everywhere in the world whenever they want.

You're answering your own question with your own essay on this-here social network for essays. Yeah there's no pictures, yeah there's no private messages, yeah there's very little of meeting someone and becoming friends. (And in fact, on BookFace which is for YC founders, I divine there are all those things, as options, this is the public-facing everyone's-welcome version of that. They share software.) But I have made some friends, like alisonkisk to some extent, and who else, cercatrova, and recently Cyberdog. And a few others reaching each other over email, there's some people. It's not a totally deserted wasteland, like you'd think from the purity of text.
