Hey! This project started as a few lines of code that we copy/pasted around to get us reactivity on top of raw Web Components here and there. As we have used it for more intensive internal dashboards and other projects, it has evolved into a nice little alternative to React / Vue / lit-element.

I read this as a post probably vetted by his legal team and probably not issued earlier because of the ongoing legal action (and then probably subsequent negotiations with Ubiquiti).

He absolutely fucked up here but he probably can't say so and likely wasn't able to retract sooner less he open himself up to legal culpability for his part in the blackmail scheme (unwitting or not).

Unfortunately this is just how the world works. I hope he has learnt his lesson and will be more through in his vetting of his sources and how his reputation can be misappropriated by malicious actors to do very serious harm.

I've often thought of this as "developer empathy" when I was working at Amazon. Generally regarding people who create APIs for other developers to use. The idea being that you can make your API simple or complex, and most developers tend to make their API complex, because they think their system is really powerful and cool and want to expose all the power to end users. But, you need to remember that your users aren't just using your API. They are using maybe 100 other ones as well. And there is no way for a person to learn the ins and outs of all 101 complex APIs. Add to this the fact that the more complexity you expose, the more unintentionally coupled your API becomes to your implementation (generally). So, make your APIs simple, and provide backdoors if you really want to expose complexity.

I will say, this did not get me promoted at Amazon.
FWIW not all of those outages were the core git/web product. A lot of those were GitHub actions or other associated functionality... but yeah it goes down disturbingly often given how much we all depend on it.
Fireship – Bite-sized videos for developers
But this one requires only the primary course - why would you assume that you would need "all 6+ earlier boosters in sequence" when this one doesn't even require any previous booster?
I strongly suspect they could just as well have used a normal bike and cast the concrete around it (which they did for some parts) ...
Despite the sensationalist title, this is an excellent video filled with very good advice. Munger describes how civilizations collapse. He specifically says he doesn't predict these things. He tries to make money at high tide and low, at night and at day. He goes out of his way to say he's not a prophet.

when did rogan sexually assault someone?
Yes! As one of the creators of https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton this was one of the aims. Simplifying the cognitive burden for those developing and managing data transforms over the course of years, and in particular for ones they didn't write!

For example in Hamilton -- we force people to write "declarative functions" which then are stitched together to create a dataflow.

E.g. example function -- my guess is that you can read and understand/guess what it does very easily.
# in client_features.py

@tag(owner='Data-Science', pii='False')

@check_output(data_type=np.float64, range=(-5.0, 5.0), allow_nans=False)

def height_zero_mean_unit_variance(height_zero_mean: pd.Series,

height_std_dev: pd.Series) -> pd.Series:

"""Zero mean unit variance value of height"""

return height_zero_mean / height_std_dev

To use `height_zero_mean_unit_variance` somewhere else, you'd then find it as a parameter to some other function, and that's the basic gist of how you'd develop a dataflow. To then execute the dataflow, you'd then in a separate file, decoupled from your transform logic, write some code to (1) create the DAG, and then (2) request what you want executed from it.

In terms of reducing cognitive burden for maintainers, by forcing things into a function there's all these nice properties to be had for maintenance:

- unit testing is always possible

- integration testing is super easy, since you can add code, and then _only_ test that path without having to run your entire transform workflow.

- documentation has a natural place & and we can build a DAG visualizing the dataflow that you're looking at

- debugging is methodical since it's straightforward to map an output to a function, check the logic there, and then methodically traverse its dependencies because they are declared.

- you can wrap functions/inject things at run time easily
When it comes to "climate change", most of the focus is unfortunately on the degree to which human activity is involved. The fact is that the climate of the earth has been changing, drastically and continuously, throughout the history of the planet. Just 13,000 years ago the oceans were 360 feet(!!) lower. While nobody should have any doubt that pollution from human activity has a small influence on the climate (as well as many other harmful side effects), we should all keep in mind the big picture. The climate is going to change, drastically, in the near term (geologically speaking), whether or not our behavior is involved at all. If we were a forward thinking society, we would be putting our efforts and our resources into preparing for inevitable climate changes that will have drastic effects across the globe, rather than keeping our heads in the sand and believing that the climate will remain stable if we just cut our carbon output.

This assumes that the end your work day ends far before the store closes in ordre for you to be sure its open when you get there.

Anyone working until 5 or 6, or anyone working with flexible hours will not have that luxury since store typically close at 6 and any delay in your commute back home means not being able to get food for the evening.

It is nice that you can afford to do that - reliably - but there are significant constraints on your working hours and your reponsibilities that you need to sort out first before switching to this approach, and not everyone is in that position.
They sometimes literally have a different person do the interview than shows up in person; no interview process catches that.
Key words in my post were in this particular case. Neither links talk about any similar cases regarding cisgender people and harassment either.
I found that when I'm about to ask someone a question, in the process of writing down all the details of what I want to do, what I've tried, what happened, which alternatives I've tried, and why it can't possibly be the fault of my own code, at least half the time I find the answer on my own.

So these days, I start writing down all this stuff as I'm exploring the problem, and much of the time it helps discover the solution and I don't need to send the message.
ODBC, ADO and Perl DBI did it even earlier.

I've always wondered how those recruiting studies where they send out a lot of fake resumes that differ only on one attribute play out for the other side. That was my first thought, but your experience might also be something different.
What gives you or anyone else the moral authority to censor legal speech? I know doing so is a common fad in California/SV but it's doing tremendous harm to society already.
There are a lot of people who believe they can fake it until they make it, and they also often think that everyone fakes it until they make it, as well. That's the end game, doing whatever it takes until they make it.
If they get the person in the door (hired) a chunk of their paycheck goes to the referring agency. And a month employed might be a year's salary back home.
this entirely relies on your own interpretation of respect. respecting nature sometimes means staying the fuck away
The right to speech is strong, at least in the United States, at least for now.

Seeing how vital the Internet is for participation in society, it is my opinion that the baseline for "duty to serve" is that everyone has the right to a modicum of hosting and the ability to have their site accessible. That means a FQDN, SSL certificate, and network connectivity.

Should it be a legal requirement? I'm not yet convinced. But I don't think CF is wrong to host orgs they morally oppose.
Heh. I'm known for fixing things that don't work. I do it by looking over someone's shoulder while they show me. I don't have to say anything, just agree to watch. Then I walk away, all fixed. It's like magic.
If the Salton Sea were in an "Old World" region settled for thousands of years, then the people who live near it would have cultural memory of the Salton Sea drying and flooding numerous times and would not be shocked when it happened again. Developed California is very young; most people who live there today don't have a very long family history on the land. Their families arrived in California one or two centuries ago, which they consider 'a long time ago'. Californians lack much experience with their land, so they're shocked when things like this happen.
Perfectionism is a pitfall, but agile development has led a lot of developers to prize velocity over correctness. Many seem to believe that any upfront mistake can be fixed through iteration. The truth is that there are things that you can't fix through iteration. Things like having an incorrect data model. Some things need to be perfect up front or you will quickly find yourself boxed in down the road as you try to extend the system.
Once you've gotten the right design at the center of your system, understanding not only the current requirements but also likely future requirements as well, scrum away. It's just not OK to blow the "big picture" decisions that you need to do in order to build a piece of software the right way because you want to move fast.

In case you weren't aware, the primary shots and boosters (up until these two) were all the same shot. These also work the same as those.

The only reason it's not being treated as a primary shot is it wasn't tested as such (and probably also marketing purposes).
Hyperpigmentation after scarring and acne is something every skin color gets, but it's particularly prominent in brown skin tones.

The 'delta' between your normal skin and that scarred skin can be large for this skin type. Uneven skin tone and patches are a reminder of your scars, and they last way longer.

Had it as a teenager, it was more unpleasant than the acne.
So don't do it at scale. Just to jobs you're applying to.
The author is not wrong. But when you scale up is when you pay the price for expediting processes earlier.
> I do, however, have some sympathy for parent who are not technically savvy, do not know how to block unpleasant content from the internet, and do not watch their kids all the time.

The parent ostensibly purchased that device from a business. That's where you apply the fix, not to the internet in general. This is like trying to put the cat back in the bag by legislative fiat.. I expect the same results.

Slightly tangential, but I wonder how long before you have people using deepfakes to look and sound like someone else on camera to perpetrate this kind of fraud. It seems like all of the pieces are mostly there.
Yeah the whole thing is a game. Canada sent it to Germany to spite both Russia and Germany and now it’s stuck. Taking the part from Germany would be considered a export and be subject to tax and other legal problems so now the turbine is stuck.

> US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) quietly ended its policy of differentiating within COVID-19 prevention guidance between those who have received Covid vaccines and those who have not:

Unvaccinated people now have the same guidance as vaccinated people.

> CDC’s COVID-19 prevention recommendations no longer differentiate based on a person’s vaccination status because breakthrough infections occur, though they are generally mild, and persons who have had COVID-19 but are not vaccinated have some degree of protection against severe illness from their previous infection.
If we don't have some base level of respect for people just because they're people ("for solely existing") then we can justify treating marginalized people even worse than we already are. Some of them already have it pretty bad! Seems evil!
I don't think WebKit reasonably sees itself as a risk for US sanctions unless they have an open source money laundering feature that no one has told me about.
You've mentioned two extremes - 7 year olds should be completely supervised, 14/15 year olds can make their own decisions.

Do you think there ages between 7 and 14 when kids should be allowed to watch videos unsupervised and kids should have some form of filtering they don't see inappropriate content? If so, who will provide that filtering? You probably can because you post to HN but not every parent will have that skillset

I think that systems should be updated in a very explicit order, so that dependencies are easier to manage.

And for the multithreaded usage, a parallel_for can be used to update systems.
So there is another book called Where the Water Goes. In that book the author talks about how if the Salton Sea does disappear the accumulation of dust, fertilizer and other less than great chemicals may be picked up by winds and significantly reduce air quality for the region. So we're between a rock and a hard place at this point.

I don't like making people write code live. Some really good coders just don't work well with people looking over their shoulder.

I prefer giving people a take-home with an original problem to solve. Then, follow that up with a live call where you ask them some questions about it.

Once worked at a 3rd party coding interview company as an interviewer, and we had a bunch of grad students from a college who were all clearly cheating. They solved the problem from the top of the page down (rather than organically, as someone would when doing actual programming) in a very specific way.

The company didn't want to disqualify those candidates, since we couldn't prove cheating, but it was pretty fascinating to witness.
I have been involved in hiring for years. I saw this happen for the first time a month ago. It makes me wonder if some Discord/Slack/Telegram group has recently been organized around this dubious "life hack" strategy.

You do realize that at some point you will actually need to go to the company your are interviewing with in person and to provide a lot more personal information than just a blurry mugshot from a Zoom call in order to be able to be employed and collect a salary??

Nobody collects "critical PII" using job interviews, no company has time for such nonsense. The companies that do collect such information don't do it using job interviews, there are much easier and less time and resource consuming ways of doing that.

And re deep fake/blackmail - why would a company you are applying to hoping to score a job and hiding your face from want to blackmail you?

Sorry but that's utter paranoia and bullshit.
> Anyone who is doing this, you're destroying trust and making life hard for the rest of us.

Sadly, they don't care.

This is why we can't have nice things.
"Don't people on the left do this too, though?"

Why is your first instinct to equivocate instead of holding people responsible? It's a weird impulse a lot of people seem to have.
It's a problem here too. Even if they use their camera, it doesn't mean they don't have someone feeding them answers to questions. Phone interviews are even more sketchy since the person who may be answering the questions is a completely different person who shows up on day 1.

We had one person we hired as a contractor, but then her voice changed on the phone, and started calling people by their last names in chat. It looked like it was someone that subcontracted another who then quit, and the first was trying to hold onto the contract as long as possible.

Another answered complex questions during the interview, but after the start they knew nothing.

A third contractor I knew was trying to do two jobs at the same time. Unfortunately while he was supposed to be working for one company he was making public github commits for the second. He was shown the door that day.

Tangentially, another contractor "lost" two macbooks assigned to him. Apparently right after travelling to Colorado after they legalized weed.

50 years is nothing if you're talking about geo-engineering projects to stabilize your community. Dike construction in the Netherlands has been underway for well over a thousand years. 50 years probably isn't even enough time for the importance of such projects to truly permeate a culture.
You still have the problem of two famous persons named the same. It would be better to have separate checks. Have a check that means "this person showed us their passport" and another that says "this account is owned by the famous person mentioned in this news article".
