Maybe if companies haven't been fucking over people, colluding to keep wages low, offshoring, unpaid overtime, layoffs to protect investors and not employees, etc etc, maybe, just maybe I would feel like I should be honest/hard working. But since in 20+ years the amount of shit I've seen companies do to their employees, I seriously don't care anymore.

And guess what, when I decided to be an asshole, think only of myself and not give a fuck about the companies, voila, my renumeration started to go up and up and up (making 10x more now than when I was a 'company man').

Stop being an idiot (not parent, in general) and start looking for yourself only, in a few years you will see the rewards.

Please don't twist my words and call me an incel. I didn't say women who go out are not nice. I said roaming the bars and clubs, hoping to meet a nice woman is not a recommend strategy for success where I live. And it's not some incel shit but it's what girls here will tell you as well.

Sure, it can happen that you meet a compatible partner in a bar/club, but as a dating strategy is has a very poor ROI. You're better off with hobbies or dating apps.

> they're advocating for a one-state solution so that inhabitants of Palestine/Israel can get democratic representation & equal rights. Again, not a crazy take.

This is in fact a crazy take. It’s not quite advocating a shared state for Nazis and Jews level of crazy but it’s certainly getting there. Palestinian nationalism is based on being anti-Israel in much the same way anti-colonial or anti-metropolitan nationalism is. See Catalan, Scottish, Irish or Welsh nationalism.

Palestinian nationalism is much more like Irish nationalism than any of the rest of those in that people have killed for it in large numbers.

When people say something really stupid you have the choice of believing they’re lying or stupid. One staters are some of one and some of the other.

Not wanting to be offensive, but I do understand where people are coming from. I myself am more in a niche, though it is physically less visible, and I also understand where you are coming from. I do believe it might be good to find a fitting partner, so not sure why the "most people" qualifier is there. What I am trying to get at :) If you are obese, how is your success rate with obese women? If out of 100 sent messages 1 good conversation comes, it is still something.

Elixir, Haskell et al. require concepts that are not required at all in e.g. Java. The functional programming module at my university had the highest failure rate after the math and statistics classes.

Even something like C can require new concepts. I was a tutor for a university C programming course and students that had no problems with Java struggled hard with direct memory manipulation, pointer arithmetic etc., because those were foreign concepts at that point.

You can't expect Devs to self-teach each other those concepts on the side, that (advanced into their studies, third-year) CS students struggle with hard. If you want your OOP Devs to learn e.g. functional programing, you have to give them dedicated (paid) time for this, IMO.
I've found that candidates have little or non appetite for take home problems.

If they are busy interviewing, putting aside 2-3 hours (which is not much really) per interview, limits how many they are willing to do per week. As its still a candidate driven market.

Keep in mind, people have to find the spare time while doing their jobs and living life. If they have a family - good luck finding spare time :-)

The best win/win I've found is to pair with someone for about 30 minutes. You help each other, just like you do in real life.

That’s an interesting point, I wonder how much of obesity is contributing factor to consuming fast food such as cola or sodas and burgers etc. because McDonalds were around even in the 70s. Or perhaps the obesity is propagating through genetic changes passed on from people who started consuming fast food at mass scale only after a generation or two?
In a perfect world, you'll always hire great generalists who can turn their hand at anything and have enough time to onboard them. In reality though, you're going to have different 'holes' in your team shape at various times that will drive who's a potential fit as a hire.

And conversely, you're going to find different candidates in your search — if your codebase is primarily in Java, would you really turn down a strong Java dev, holding out for someone just as good but who's also willing to work on UI code and learn Haskell (even if you've no plans to use it)?

A good chef can probably train to become competent in any station in the kitchen and can train to become competent in any cuisine. But if your head pastry chef in a classic French restaurant leaves suddenly, you're unlikely to replace her with someone who's spent the last 10 years making sushi but says "I have never made mille feuille before but it looks like a good fit here so I will learn it".

> And that is the day that I learned the Miami airport has a service that will basically use industrial strength cling wrap to seal your luggage.

I did that once at JFK. I was afraid that the rigid suitcase would be mishandled so I anticipated. It did end up mishandled: I don’t know what they dropped on it but it had a large dent when I got it back. I was also checked at customs, where they cut the suitcase open with a knife, at which point I realised that the closing mechanisms were smashed and I could not close it again (they gave me some duct tape to keep it somewhat closed, but the following train journey was a nightmare). That was fun. But I did not regret the industrial strength cling wrap.

Without regulation, kids would still be working sweatshops instead of learning the necessary skills to become builders.... For example.

The are good regulations and bad regulations. When players are selfish rational and greedy they tend to accumulate power and lobby for bad regulations. It's time to lose that selfish shortemist mentality and gain more freedoms by regulating early and softly to avoid power build up.
As a girl you open the app and get flooded with messages just because you show up as online. Some people will try for weeks or months, basically sending a hi every time they go online.

I don't have a suggestion for this problem as some men tend to be really dedicated spamming the shit out of every female but my point is this is really nothing against you and you shouldn't be taking this personally at all.
They could also try obesity tax, where you're taxed more of you're obese.
Just go talk to random people in stores. Men and women. Make it based on shared interests. Find a way to start conversations with them. And work out and stay fit and wear decent clothes.

On a dating app women are happy to swipe left and see who's next but when there is a man right in front of them the calculus is way different.
This was covered in the article, albeit a little sarcastically:

>And for the three folks in Finland who administer multi-user Linux instances and rely on privileged ports for their mainframe-era security properties, they can always run sysctl and set their port limit to 1024 as it was before.

If you wanted to block non-root users binding certain ports, you'd still be able to do so. It just doesn't make sense to have this as the default anymore, as it tends to cause more security issues that it prevents.

Indeed, in this latest iteration the network learns a model of the game by itself. Note however that it still uses MCTS and performs a look-ahead, i.e. it is still being "told" by the programmers how to do search (planning), only now it is left to the system to determine how it wants to represent states/actions/policies internally.

This has been my absolute favourite Wikipedia article for years.

Every time it gets popular I am afraid that it will bring attention to itself and Wikipedians will edit it to be less funny or delete parts that seem not relevant (or disputed). But it still lives on.
yeah mine is 95% paperbacks. Most in somewhat-poor condition. They were printed cheap 70 years ago, and the fact they are still viable is an achievement in itself. They are getting hard to find now, partly because 2nd hand bookshops don't stock them because the condition is too bad.

I imagine younger readers would struggle to get into the genre, although I think a lot of the big classics are still accessible. Seeing Dune as a big recent movie shows, I think, that a lot of the themes were tireless and haven't changed. I'm often amazed at how some things could have been written today, with the same social angst, but were written in the 40's or 50's. Poul's insight into advertising (The Space Merchants), Bradbury's commentary on censorship and offence (Fahrenheit 451) are both ones that spring to mind. But these are not isolated examples - there are lots of others. (Erik Frank Russell's Wasp is a perennial favourite and works as well today as ever.)
Not ironic, just nominative determinism.
Agree, but also not every language is equal in that regard. Switching from writing perf-oriented C# code to Rust is fairly easy - concepts like async/await, stack/heap, ref/references, iterators, expression trees and generic constraints - all of them translate well. Switching from Python or Ruby to C# or Java however - not so much. The more languages have common concepts between them, the better. Migrating from a more powerful language is usually, if frustrating, much easier than the other way around.

> Microsoft's business model was 'we need to deal with Netscape before the Web kicks our ass' followed by 'we own the market now, no need to spend resources improving this'.

I think it was a bit more general: "We want to keep a stranglehold on the Apis used to write general software". The ability to write software once for the web and have it work on web browsers on any platform was viewed as an existential threat.

However, the observation that they only developed IE as long as they were worried about that threat and then left it to rot afterwards is spot on.

Their strategy was aimed against their competitors interests, not their users interests. Microsoft in the bad old days still saw their users as paying customers and not just a source of data to be exploited.
Do you mean microopromizations done by programmers or the compiler? Because if the former, I agree (especially regarding old “wisdoms” like left shifting instead of multiplying by two, when that’s the first thing any compiler will do. But it is true of even more “complex” tricks, if anything they hurt performance).
I think, as with all marketing, it's good to monitor value-for-money and to figure out what style of marketing works best for your product. So yeah, I think hyper-focused is good, but more general is good as well.

As to which one works best, and whether A will deliver more than B - well that unfortunately has been the holy grail marketeers have been searching for forever. Ultimately some things are really hard to measure, and sometimes it's hard to know if something else would be better.
No, that's just what img2prompt thought.

Some of these are patently not true:

> Everyone has exactly one email address

You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who's at all component with the internet who thinks that this is true, nevermind a programmer.

Maybe we need a 'Falsehoods writers of articles believe about falsehoods':

> You can just put any false statement in the list, even if no-one actually believes it and it will improve your article.
Well given you still hasn't said what you're talking about I assume your intention was not to inform.

You could also make commuter driving (near) zero-death now. It would be a huge one-off payment for a national - possibly international - navigation and power grid. But once built it would be a huge cost saver, because automated traffic flows could be optimised across the entire system.

Although in fact remote work would be even better, for those jobs that support it.

Meanwhile jobs have become poverty traps, so they're not enough on their own to avoid poverty and death.

Ultimately it's not about building things or the cost of highly visible prestige projects. It's about systemic rather than fragmented thinking. Capitalism tends to the latter, because an airy wave of the invisible hand is supposed to somehow optimise everything.

This is magical fantasy. If you want intelligent culture-wide systems you have to get your best people to design and build them. And they have to consider long-term systemic outcomes as much as short-term goals and projects.

This culture is very, very bad at that. But it's also unrealistically convinced it's very good at it.

Subdivisions basically didn't exist in the US in the 1950s; they were only just being invented then. People lived in smaller towns and cities and walked around a lot more. Even in the 80s, kids were walking around outside a lot, without adult supervision. Now that's basically illegal in most places, so kids stay in their suburban homes all day playing video games.

And, as usual, you can compare to other countries. In other places, there's less of a car culture, people walk around a lot more, and there aren't many obese people.
Sir, may I humbly suggest that you vastly underestimate the weight of a fully loaded freighter? There's a reason airships do not, have not, and probably will not ever replace ocean-going vessels... nor will helicopters or cargo planes.
That's only half of it - the problem is that the duopoly maintain a stranglehold over their respective portions of their markets. Remember that Ios forces browsers to use their Safari engine, which is a step more egregious than MS' forced IE bundling. Both together make the problem far worse, and neither alone would make things better. Google and Apple are a huge problem for the web. So to answer the original question, no.

I love ballroom, been doing it more or less since high school (10+ years and some breaks), but I wouldn't really use this curve for any other reason than to motivate new men to attend classes.

In the beginning, followers may have a slightly easier time since it's probably a bit easier for a follower to learn from a more advanced leader than the other way around, but this plateaus pretty soon (low single digit months).

Also, leaders tend to pick and followers accept / reject, so in that respect, "attractive followers" will have a bit of an easier time (more offers) than if you're a shy, not very attractive leader.

But that's mostly just for newcomers. Eventually, few dances in, people get familiar with your level and you with theirs in a given group. And I've yet to see a place where one could get no partners, even as a "beginner with only a handful of introductory classes" (unless through some pretty obvious breaches of ethics / personal hygiene).

Eventually (maybe a few months in), both leaders and followers have to do some introspection and practice things like technique, posture and musicality. And there's simply no way other than mindful practice.
Pretty much. It’s amazing the author does not realise he is just doing the work for the extractive institutions when he asks for less voices at the table. And that in fact a lot of what passes for regulation is just those same extractive institutions protecting themselves.
I think you need to define "lower cognitive load capability" first.

There's a multitude of reasons why people can't handle cognitive load that all have different dynamics. The combination of traits I've seen lead to consistently less complex code is developers that are highly intelligent and hence more capable of building abstractions and who have a very low tolerance for frustration. The cognitive load of the spaghetti solutions they deal with grates on them a lot more than the average bear and since they are capable of seeing how to achieve the same task with less cognitive load they do it, so that they no longer have to deal with the frustration and can be comfortable.
Maybe not if you actually asked them, but you’d be baffled from how many systems are designed to require people to have, and use, exactly one e-mail address, ever. The programmers/designers of those systems did believe, implicitly, that everyone has exactly one e-mail address.
I'm not in the US, but from what it sounds like, the situation isn't much different where I live.

A surprising amount of overhead goes to employees in accounting who perform some black magic so that everyone on staff is payed by some combination of projects. Whether someone actually works on said projects is irrelevant of course.
