> Look up the Islamic Isnad system.

I did but I didn't see anything that convinced me. It really is hearsay.

> Furthermore, if that's how you're going to view the world, then you can't accept any news about history. Obviously that is not wise or rational.

No, you keep on making wrong conclusions. I accept there are historical texts and I can with rational thought come up with rough estimates how likely those events happened as written. Historians are usually honest that they can't be 100% sure that those events happened exactly as written because there is a long history of our understanding of events being incomplete, inaccurate or completely wrong. We can't take historical texts as gospel to build all our system of society and be so brazen to claim it's 100% true. And if some historical text talks about miracles, something which cannot be explained with rational thought and to the best of our current knowledge should be impossible then I have to be extra sceptical.

> By assuming there were many "tries" before the current universe came into existence. Who was behind those tries? When was the first try? Those are all metaphysical claims.

I showed that when I use his base of reasoning then his conclusion is wrong. Applying statistics leads to the opposite conclusion than what he presented.
His hole argument rests on an assumption he picked out of thin air. So if he can do it then I can with equal right assume there were many tries, no? Him and me would both have no justification to pick either.

Now if I give you my own opinion then I would say there is zero reason to make such assumptions and therefor we cannot deduce anything about how many tries there have been, when the first try was, if there even exists time outside our universe or what other rules apply or don't apply. It's all thought experiments. Thinking that the idea of god was there and just willed the universe into existance is a thought experiment just as valid as me claiming a pink machine prints universes. I cannot prove that and you can't disprove it. It's a stalemate. I admit that fact while you are 100% sure of your point of view. And since you are so keen on relying on history: history tells us people that had your point of view eventually were proven wrong.

Like you said, all those things including your claims are metaphysical theories. They are not facts.
What's the purpose of animation here?

Go into the CEO's office, ask for a large raise and tell them the product is in a very bad shape and will require you to put your utmost effort to turn the ship around. If word were to get out, it would surely kill the company!

After you get the raise, go into your cubicle, close email and phone, and start working on your own projects until the moving guys come to take your desk.
I've been looking for some way to code on my phone while I slack around away from my computer. So far the only thing working for me was CodeSandbox, but even it is very clunky and buggy.
Huh, that's in stark contrast to my experience with them this summer. Had a flight delayed by several hours and was notified by text message only about 10 hours in advance. This messed up our plans and we had to book a different hotel while waiting in the airport. We submitted a compensation claim expecting we'd get nothing because the delays were partly due to a strike by air traffic control at the destination. To our surprise they approved the compensation and - admittedly quite slowly - have now confirmed a £220 refund for each ticket.

It sounds like you've had a bad experience and potentially like EU laws are not being applied effectively in Czechia. Based on your description you should be owed EU compensation and I'm surprised there's no escalation process that doesn't cost you money. Hope it works out for you.
That's pretty self-evident surely? What he wants to achieve is the investors having the information that they're being scammed - would you be asking "what are you trying to achieve" if someone was asking about telling someone that someone had just picked their pocket?

OP wants to inform investors that they're being defrauded because he sees it as the ethical thing to do - not everything has an ulterior motive. Sounds like he's wondering if there's any possible serious unforeseen repercussions that could befall him if he goes through with it (or doesn't). Losing the job (whether through quitting or getting fired for whistleblowing) is probably a foregone conclusion.
If you don’t mean exposing it directly, I’m not sure what’s special about Rust in what you’re saying. Compared to deliberately memory-unsafe languages, perhaps, but you’re normally comparing it to the likes of Python, PHP, Ruby and Go, all of which stand on level ground in that regard.

The following stuff is censored in China:

TV series or movies should be edited if they have the following content: (1) distorting Chinese and other countries’ culture and society; (2) defaming Chinese military forces, policemen, and judiciary; (3) showcasing obscenity content, either visual or verbal; (4) showcasing “excessive” images of murder, violence, horror, interrogation, drug-taking, and even gambling; (5) advertise negative and decadent values or deliberately exaggerate the negative part of society; (6) advocate religious extremism; (7) advocate environmental destruction and animal torture; (8) excessively showcase alcohol addiction, smoking, or other bad habits; (9) demonstrate other illegal content.

I have to ask: How would simply not putting this kind of negative stuff in our media not benefit us?

Why does a TV show have to show a lot of gore?

Why can we only laugh about sexual explicit jokes?

My only issue is with (9) because what is legal today can be illegal tomorrow. Simply no longer being allowed to mention something that was/is/going to be illegal is a bit far fetching I guess..
The slowness in firefox comes from the station name drawing.
Going from U to S+U and back again seems to reset the setting for drawing them.
The settings option for drawing the station names is somewhat buggy.

To optimize this the text should probably be drawn to another canvas/surface and layered behind the main one and not be updated that often.
Find a new job ASAP. The company will fail eventually. If the investors aren't doing their due diligence, that's on them. Investors expect companies to fail more than succeed and they budget accordingly.

If the company has indeed defrauded its investors, that's between the company leadership and the investors. Unless you're involved directly enough to be potentially liable, this is above your pay grade.

If you think you may have been involved in defrauding the investors, talk to a lawyer. Otherwise, shut your mouth until you've found a new place and then carefully evaluate what you say to whom to minimize the risk of being thrown under the bus.

You'd be horrified if you knew how many companies sell products that don't exist beyond organically evolving powerpoint presentations. It only becomes fraud when the companies fail to deliver and can't meet their obligations and the customers aren't willing to agree to alternative resolutions.

It sounds like your employer is currently not very good at generating sales at all so the only defrauded party would be the investors and that would require knowing what your employer actually contractually agreed to deliver in return for the investment. Unless you're privvy to what's in those contracts, my advice would be to zip it and GTFO.

Many square km of super-lightweight aluminized mylar mirrors reflecting light to ground-based solar farms could work. In principle.

Nothing else would.

Keeping them pointed the right way would be hard. Maybe they would point at a much smaller secondary mirror responsible for sweeping the beam as Earth turns under it.

This really is a bad idea all around. Europe would better build solar farms in the tropics driving ammonia synthesizers, and ship that north to use in existing NG burners.
> the floods are beyond the scope of any damming technology

Claiming this could have been prevented with dams is asinine. But claiming it’s beyond technology is defeatist. 10x surges are never pretty, but they shouldn’t be this bad.

There are water management practices which can manage order of magnitude surges. (There were dams which breached, for instance.) This usually involves creating diversions and dedicated sacrificial zones (flood plains) between the expected surge sites and a reservoir (ideally, the ocean).

If the problem is unaddressable, due to lack of funds or politics, the areas should be de-populated and/or evacuation procedures put in place.
I think you’re making this up. Not that it’s not a fun thing to muse about, but it’s too textbook-bad to be true.
To... prevent someone from getting scammed? Why does OP need more justification than that, as if that's not a lofty enough goal?
Just a thought: before writing was invented, conversations were a way to think.
How long do you have to rewrite every such expression with pencil on paper, before you start to be able to apprehend these things directly? I'm not trying to bring this down, clearly it's very concise, just curious what the learning curve is with that.
Trouble with the title for this site is that a very significant fraction of the users will approach it from the open source perspective where bug tracking is what you want. :-)

I might perhaps title it “bug trackers aren’t good for tracking work” or “bug trackers aren’t good for product development workflows”. I like literal and direct (and often verbose!) in my titles.

> there should be a statute of limitations on that. The idea that someone could demand money from me for a mistake they made seven months ago sounds ridiculous

It's six years in the UK.

This is why you should retain six years of bank statements...... and a 'bank error in your favour'? You had better wait six years before you spend the dosh.

[Though to be pedantic, in law you still owe the money, just that after six years without any attempt to reclaim it, the debt becomes legally unenforceable]
They do, but they also don't mention dishonored returns. My source was the NACHA rules, which I was coding to at the time. Point stands though, it's a long time.
> Which is what they’re saying.

No, it's not. The definition they provided for DevOps was markedly different:

> DevOps is [...] the outcome of applying the most trusted principles from the domain of physical manufacturing and leadership to the IT value stream. DevOps relies on bodies of knowledge from Lean, Theory of Constraints, the Toyota Production System, resilience engineering, learning organizations, safety culture, human factors, and many others.

If somebody reads that sentence - without already having knowledge about what "DevOps" means - are they going to think "oh yes, I see, so DevOps means having the same team do both Dev and Ops work"? Of course not! They're not going to have any idea what DevOps means, other than the fact that it's something consultants sell with word soup.

Fair enough. The title was meant to be a bit provocative for sure.

The point we're trying to make is that a tool can help nudge you in a certain direction, and we're trying to make Kitemaker the tool that nudges you towards working in a way that gets the whole team focused on outcomes instead of focusing on small tasks.

If teams are able to achieve that in their current tool of choice, that's ok too. We just believe working in this way is healthy and productive and hope to see more teams thinking along these lines.
Insignificant.

The trains were full but there weren't many extra trains — I can't remember hearing of any at all, in fact. Trains are generally depreciated by time and by number of km driven, not by now full they are. And extra energy use is very close to zero for mostly-level railways (steel wheels on level steel tracks have that advantage).

Train seats are worn out by passengers, of course, but that's a very small part of a train.

This may also depend on the architecture, what may be free or close to free on AArch64 may not be the case on x86_64 for example. Also of course, the the relative costs (e.g. 3x for float cast) may be different as well.
As a manager, my long term goals are perfectly aligned with my teams. I want them to be (mentally) healthy, motivated and happy. This is what makes the team (and me!) loyal and productive, and it will prevent sickness/absence. I never get the manager vs team perspective, it feels like whenever there is a “versus” in perspectives, something is wrong and will lead to problems over time.
Wouldn't the result cause a person to continually reattempt a certain type of career for the supposed correspondence with their personality? Or are the results so unstable they change day by day?

In that case an anonymous report will not work to their favor: they should talk to a lawyer, get out ASAP and then consider their next steps carefully.

This entire post hinges on OP's correct interpretation that their employer is engaging in fraud against investors. This isn't as straightforward as defrauding customers because it's easier to judge fraud in sales because you probably don't know the exact terms agreed to as part of that investment. It's entirely possible the VCs are in on it or will try to kill the messenger rather than admit they didn't see the fraud.
IATs are a pretty niche thing, but I think they're still to a correspondent bank in the US. Not common, and most banks won't allow you to originate them without special arrangement.
Your problem is not the CI. It's that the CI does not test the custom hardware.

You need a hardware testing engineer who can automate the tests that you're currently running manually.

The problem with Berlin is than there are many operators for public transport by train:

* U-Bahn, for the subways (underground & aerial)

* S-Bahn, for sub-urban lines (mostly aerial)

* Traway in est-Berlin

A map, live or not need at least to combine the U-Bahn and the S-Bahn, (and if possible the tramway too), because you generally need to use both networks (with the same ticket) to travel. Staying in only one of the network is just not practical.
> Of course firing is an option

Certainly not the first option. You bring it up with them, you modify your process and manage a bit more closely, you agree on some concrete objectives; and if things don't change that much, you make it clear that if things don't improve in a well-defined way within an agreed time window, they could be fired. Firing is the last measure of a series of escalating measures, and each one of those measures should be communicated well. If you fire someone and it comes as a surprise to them, you messed up, not them.
Cert loads just fine on my end.
TV edits ruin everything. There's a scene in Independence Day where Will Smith's character is running from an alien fighter, and he says "oh no you did not shoot that green shit at me." TV edits make it "green stuff," and it does not work.
Personally, I would feel uncomfortable staying with such a company.

My advice would be to leave as soon as possible. If no technical work is happening then you are not building anything for your resume, and if the company goes under then its bad practices might be revealed. That would make the time you spent there seem like a toxic spot on your career.

On revealing them, I feel the VC is required to do their due diligence and the amount of legal headache and exposure you as an individual would have to deal with if ever discovered to be the revealing party is not worth it.

Exit, and tell friends to avoid being hired by this firm.
> Python, PHP, Ruby and Go

... but with an execution speed that consumes negligible CPU time from the moment the template/source is loaded into memory until it is formatted and put on the wire. Compared to that, a PHP template is dog slow. I don't have any direct experience with Go, small GC allocations for string handling might introduce non-negligible overhead.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cool feature, the only problem I see here is zero readability, what if I’m looking at this code or trying to figure out the value of a register mangled by such a call, “I” find it very hard to read and understand what is happening there. I can read hex offsets and masks to know what’s what is happening to bitfield at any given time… just MHO.
Have an M1 Pro 14" MBP

1 - On the whole it feels significantly faster than any laptop I've owned. Super quite even when the fans kick in (which they very rarely do). Only time the temperature noticeably rises is when running all cores 100% many minutes at a time (long compiles inside docker container, heavy number crunching etc.). On balance it is easily the best laptop I have ever owned, and this is coming from someone who really doesn't much like MacOS.

2 - 98% great. There are a few things that I have to compile and install by hand (rather than install via pip/npm etc) and there are a couple of libraries that I have completely failed to get to work. Also there is one closed source X86 program that I use that keeps crashing under rosetta. But nothing show stopping.

3 - Docker works fine, but not perfectly, if you run ARM containers. If you're running X86 containers performance is terrible. I'm currently developing in an ARM container and deploying on x86 (using the same docker file) and that has caused a couple of weird bugs (a certain thing crashes on my ARM container, but works fine on the X86 container for example). But 95+% of the time it causes zero problems.

4 - Depends entirely on what you are doing. I have 32 GB of RAM and day to day it is never a problem.

Equity is a gamble and should be treated as such. Most jobs don't contribute any value in the grand scheme of things beyond shareholder value, so that's not a loss either. If anything it's a learning opportunity to not trust startup founders so blindly.

But if you want to warn your coworkers out of comradery, do so in a way that isn't simply telling them "I think our boss is defrauding investors".
I think it originated from Newsweek. I found others in US journals, and it didn't catch up at all in other developed countries, as it was not a scientific article (hence why i never heard of it at all growing up). I don't understand why this myth seems to be present also in the UK, my guess is that's a tabloid who dug that 70s Newsweek story and sold it to 'uninformed' (or gullible, depending on how charitable you want to be) public.

The weird thing to me is that it seems nobody's disputing the claim, as this was a "science evolve everyday" proof. Yes, everyday some new evidence are found that shake/modify our understanding of the world, but this particular story? A lie. Or at least a really controversial take. It basically said that some climate scientists believed that the earth wouldn't warm due to human activities like other believed. The consensus was still building.

But even then, no climate scientists thought human activities had no impact.

And anybody who propagate this story either is part of this group of people who 'share' without thinking (but on hacker news it's quite hard to publish without writing, thus thinking), or is a liar with an agenda. That's why I ask for scientific article every time, i know none exist because this is a hoax, and usually the liar leave the discussion.
At the end of the day, it's a DARPA project originally, I'm sure the US Gov't has been _heavily_ invested in monitoring it for a while. Still I'd argue when doing anything on the web the behemoth that is the US could probably flex some of that spending muscle to levy massive resources.

However FBI tracing bomb-threat is probably still not using NSA-level resources... given the whole not our citizens wink wink thing.
