Fair enough. The way you quoted certain terms in the previous comment made it seem to me as a refutation rather than a separate point. Just a poor assumption on my part since I can read the other voice.

I do think that this discussion is often people who disagree not bothering to disagree, which probably explains why I read your comment wrong.
Thanks, that's useful input.

> some employers muse they can lower those salaries

That seems reasonable given their much larger labor pool of remote workers. They'll probably couch it as paying a premium to attract and retain in-person workers but its the same end-result as lowering salaries for remote workers.

To me the bigger question is not how many developers will be working full remote vs hybrid vs in-person, but what the salary differences will end up being.
good luck! treat this budget as an investment into your well-being and social life.

Also, keep in mind not all coworkings are made equal. It might take trying a few before you find one that suits you well.

In my experience small, local coworkings are best for building relationships. Big, chain coworkings like WeWork are the worst. Everyone just minds their own business there.
That just demonstrates how GitHub is out of touch with the real world of programming.

At least you didn't compare it to TIOBE.

A candidate who can't communicate effectively seems unlikely to be of interest to you, right? If their communications don't clearly tell you about their past experiences and skills relevant to your needs, I don't think you need to overthink this.

When I am on hiring committees at my org, I always come up with a simple rubric to screen applicants and narrow down who we want to include in the process going forward. It is a very simple rubric, usually just "Yes/No" answers to questions related to the needs of the position. We can usually use these rubrics to stack rank applicants and interview top candidates.

We do get some simply terrible cover letters or email communications from candidates (both native and non-native English speakers). These are usually so bad that the candidates in question don't get past the rubric anyway . . .

Indeed, the flat colors are just non-metallic and non-pearl coats. Its a sign of changing fashion trends -- flat coats used to be far more popular in the era before all paints had metallic flake (basically glitter). They only stand out because metallic paints became very common as opposed to being once rare.
Derek Lowe's "Things I Won't Work With" entire series is both educational and highly amusing. This is another good article: https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/sand-won-t-save-yo...
All these recommendation engine problems people aren't discussing here aren't bugs or problems, they're features. They're either pushing the content that makes people engage with the platform the longest, or that promote another feature that the platform is trying to push on you. With YouTube, it's MrBeast style videos, influencer bait, and shorts. With Spotify, it's for sure podcasts.

Podcasts are so heavily pushed by Spotify because they're trying to make themselves the centralized one stop shop for your audio consumption. They didn't pay Joe Rogan millions for no reason.

As a man under thirty, I see the JRE logo on the front page of my Spotify at least five or six times a month. I have no interest in listening to podcasts on Spotify. I very much dislike Joe Rogan. I hit the option to not request it to me again, and yet there it is.

They're not recommendations based on your taste. They're a mix of just enough of your taste so that you trust and buy-in, mixed with whatever flavor of the week the recommendation engine would love to sell you.
Counterpoint: Customer service at restaurants in Japan (where tipping is not customary and where immigration policy is strict) is excellent, much better than in America. I’ve had wonderful service even at fast food restaurants; the workers are friendly, service is timely, the orders come out correctly, and the presentation of the food is thoughtful and considerate of the customer. I stress these things because I’ve had some bad experiences in America where I end up with sloppy food served by surly staff.

I think the differences in customer service expectations are cultural in nature.

> Mushroom roots are technically called mycelium...

I think it's a better model to think of the mycelium as the entire tree, including roots, trunk, and leaves, and the mushrooms are just the fruit. After all the mushroom is just a reproductive organ for the fungus.

New York City is pretty aggressive about this and has been for at least 7-8 years...at least if you work for a bank headquartered there. I had to provide a separate attestation that I did or did not work over a certain amount of time and, if so, had a bunch of extra paperwork to do.

If I'm reading the article right, the material is not stable (and also very very difficult to make). So I'm guessing this is probably just an interesting project to check how well current atomic bonding models fit reality.
People who rule the world are already mindless machines. Or atleast machine parts of mindless mega machines.

Like a machine there are very strick rules to what they can say, do and think. Over time and through constant repetition they become incapable of doing anything other than performing to that spec.

The biggest problem the world faces, is this robot army has lost touch with its humanity, and its become very hard to dislodge them out of the loops they are trapped in.
What I would love is to have all of this all done in-camera. It would be great for children to get them interested without having all of the boring 'complicated' computer stuff afterward.

Imagine a camera with a three-way switch, mode A, mode B 'normal', and mode C.
Flick a switch to ModeA and then stack multiple exposures until I flick the switch back to normal at which point the camera composites the images into a single photo.

Or Flick the switch to mode C and then take a slices of photos and then arrange them as diptychs, triptychs etc etc. until I flick the switch back to normal at which point the camera composites the images into a single photo.

With screw on camera filters for IR, colour tints etc.

Research impact is typically measured by peer driven citations. Peers also review papers and award grants. All of the above are easily gamed metrics by social engineers independently of the actual value of their work.

I've been working remotely for years with in-person visits on a monthly to quarterly basis. Brain-storming and planning in person definitely create value, but getting the work done is a different story. 10% inspiration (in person, maybe) and 90% perspiration (where they don't have to watch you sweat).
It’s quite amusing to see people spouting off without a god damn clue. The dude ran cyber security research at DARPA, lol.
That must be something extremely and unnecessarily custom. At my org we enforce MFA with Microsoft Authenticator and that works just fine with macOS' built-in Exchange support.
10,000 years from now a supreme intelligence notes that superintelligence is a capability of complex dynamic system- the intergalactic metaswarm; and that systems of this sort cannot be modelled organically by biological processes in a way that allows them to operate within a skin sack of wet meat.

This is really cool. We use Elixir at work, but we mostly use it in a "traditional web app" (i.e. non-Elixir) way, of Docker containers deployed to independent AWS instances.

So I'm always intrigued by some of the more BEAM-specific things that folks do, like using `observer` on a remote (production??) node here, or distributed Elixir where the nodes communicate with each other, or "hot" code updates.

How do companies deploy Elixir in such a way to take advantage of all those things? Does Sequin talk anywhere about their deploy process and how their infrastructure looks?

Where abouts are you, if you don't mind me asking? (You don't have to answer).

I'm rural just right outside Hamilton. The local market in Oakville/Burlington is sad. And right now it's not worth the commute into Toronto (used to live there).

I was getting excellent comp at Google Waterloo, but the drive was killing my body, and my soul was dead.

> There are no pitchforks. There is no angry mob.

This is true. Even Snowden's revelations didn't have much effect outside of tech circles. US congress even got away with passing a law to retroactively make some of the revealed illegal spying on Americans legal. The public either does not care or feels impotent.

Governments love corporate surveillance as it allows them a source of data without having to worry about scrutiny they might face by collecting the data directly.

It feels hopeless that surveillance capitalism will ever be able to be reigned in.
> Much better to be in that position than a company with a beautiful codebase who didn't capture the market

For sure. But I wonder how many are prevented from capturing a larger segment of the market because of poor design decisions re more fundamental primitives of the product. I suppose the worst case scenario here is a complete rebuild and migration.
This reminds me of people who think guns are the problem. Guns and language are tools.

You don't need to live in city centers to make this perfectly feasible.

My city is 70k people and its perfectly fine without a car or bike. Around this city, there are many smaller towns from 20k to 5k. In almost all of them its mostly feasible to live in without a car.

Before I moved out of my parents house, I lived in a 5k village about 25min by car outside of a 70k city. My parents have literally a herd of cows next to their property. And I live there just fine without a car.

The idea that you somehow need to be Paris density to have decent public transport is just not true.

And that was before E-Bike was even an option. I used to take the normal bike for all activities in the village and that was fine too. With a modern E-Bike, it would be very easy.
Its pretty popular. A lot of people who are not writing Javascript and derivatives and working on Java based applications. E.g place I work would be a couple of applications in .net, some legacy stuff in Perl, data piplines in Go. Remaining 98% projects are all Java based.

This is heavily biased toward developers who store code on GitHub.

A lot of larger companies and institutions either run GitHub on-prem or use some other versioning solution. I think that those companies would also be more likely to use older and more strictly typed languages than Python/JS/TS, and have larger code bases in those languages because they are larger and older organizations.

You might want to update your narrative about that.

Leo Szilard created a petition to try and convince Japan to surrender instead of using nuclear weapons on them [0]. This was signed by 70 scientists but never made it up the chain of command, presumably for political reasons.

Before then, there was the Franck report, signed by 7 scientists, that tried to similarly avert the use of nuclear weapons [1].

Einstein was Jewish and fled Germany because of the Nazis rise to power. Einstein was acutely aware of the dangers a nuclear weapon would impose and was the reason why he wrote a letter to then Franklin Roosevelt recommending the development of a nuclear weapon [2]. Though Einstein didn't work on the Manhattan project directly, I would be surprised if many other scientists in a similar situation didn't feel the same.

Many scientists either fled Europe because of the war or were Jewish.

My model of most scientists working on the Manhattan project was one of need and duty, if not to the US then to quell the threat of a world ruled by fascists, tempered by the understanding that the project they were working on could have negative world consequences.

> A complete list of our sources is here

The "is here" has no link going anywhere.

> we look at nine metrics that we think are good proxies for measuring what languages people are programming in. Sources include Github, Google, Stack Overflow, Twitter and IEEE Xplore. The raw data is normalized and weighted according to the different rankings offered—for example, the Spectrum default ranking is heavily weighted towards the interests of IEEE members, while Trending puts more weight on forums and social media metrics

So they looked at sources, calculated metrics, and then weighed them by rankings? Still no idea what they've actually done.
I agree with this in theory, but reality always does what it wants. If the wheels in motion are too powerful to stop, then what's inevitable will be what happens. Like trying to un-ring a bell, here is a list of events that would precipitate bosses lashing out angrily:

- prolonging exposure where there is a mismatch in employee-employer values

- engaging in risky endeavors together

- backing a non-viable business model

- forming communities of hasty, thoughtless individuals

- incorrectly believing that you could safely work for a psychopath

- having no clear end or ultimate goal for working together

- putting forth the worst parts of yourself in the relationship

- trusting people who model their behavior after infamous assholes

Unfortunately, things are only going to get angrier and uglier as time progresses. Best to take evasive action now if possible. Good luck!
You are not crazy nor paranoid. You are just ahead of others. Those of us who take the precautions have heard it or ask ourselves the same thing quite often. I no longer use a SIM with my phone running a custom OS. I pay cash and wear a mask in stores to thwart the facial recognition. None of this is an inconvenience to me but rather a more liberated way of life.

The full cropped results are in the "Correctness" tab of the Google sheet linked at the bottom, with more details in the "Scoring" tab, but TL;DR the intensity vector worked best, with Goldberg (the one I chose) a pretty close second.

> There is no public consensus on this. American voters are fine with free, ad-supported software. They’re fine with surveillance in exchange for convenience.

Is that true though? When Apple made tracking opt-in, pretty much everyone refused. I think that's a clear indicator that the overwhelming majority do want privacy, and if they're actually given a choice, most will probably take it.

The issue about not understanding the cost is real, but that's not unprecedented. There was a time when most people didn't understand the cost of cigarettes and tobacco, but that problem was solved through government intervention.

Edit: to clarify, I said the tracking is “opt-in”, but it’s not a default. iOS explicitly asks you to choose between tracking or no tracking. It does not assume any default.
The table of contents and the summary suggest extraordinarily weak arguments, from "one of the most widely cited contemporary philosophers". Maybe full brain simulation is impossible, but on the other hand (1) maybe it's not and (2) maybe there are other systems that can exhibit intelligence, other than one specific primate organ.

Has anyone actually read the book? Is the argument just poorly characterized in the summary?

I'll probably set the bool to true and so penance for it later.
You have no evidence of that. More likely the plaintiff had their own scientific experts who were more persuasive, that's how all technical matters are adjudicated in courts.

> I could just as easily have devised a moral construct which allowed me to adopt maximal behaviors for accumulating money and wealth, for instance. However, I did not choose that path, in the end. I very easily could have, however. And that was purely my choice.

You don't choose your beliefs. You choose your actions. You don't choose to believe generosity is good; you choose to follow a code of generosity. Conversely you don't choose to believe that your own interests and self-preservation are paramount; you choose to follow a code that reflects that belief. It is not a could-have-gone-either-way single choice you make in a single moment. If you try to follow a code that is deeply discordant with your actual beliefs you will struggle with it forever. Which is why "choose optimism", which seems to be the dominant opinion in TFA and this thread, is such garbage advice. Frankly I think a much better avenue of advice to give is telling people who are deeply afraid about the future of the world how to productively cope with it instead of telling them to pantomime a belief that everything's gonna turn out swell.

In my life I've made the conscious choice not to worry too much about the existential problems that I believe will utterly destroy civilization as we know it. I did this because I need to function in society - make friends, pay the bills, marry the husband, buy the house and so on. But this is not optimism; it's not even productive pessimism; it's a selfish decision to ignore the bleak future and focus on living my own happy life and insulating myself from the worst of what's to come.
Wow, someone pulled off that synthesis? I'm impressed!

For those who are wondering if this has any practical applications, the answer is almost certainly no. At best, someone might look at the synthetic pathways used to produce perfluorocubane to attempt to make something similar. It has really unusual spectroscopic and physical properties, which is pretty cool, but mostly in the sense of being a curiosity rather than being something you can do something with.

Imagine this as being the chemistry version of someone managing to get Doom to run on an electric toothbrush or something. It's interesting and amusing to know it's possible, but you're never actually going to start using your Sonicare for gaming.
Remember you can always just store "where" data is. You could create a simple map [user_id,inbox_cluster_id, ...] that holds the hosts per user_id. Then moving users to other clusters, etc all maintenance is smooth sailing.
