That still doesn’t make the GP make any sense - the fancy places may have an alternative sauce by default so it’s not “dry”, as you note they’ll usually do it anyway by request, and if it’s fancy enough they’re not putting ketchup on by default they’re usually not just giving the packets of Heinz. I don’t think it’s about being an advertisement for Heinz. These places often are more likely to not use Heinz.
I am a hardcore advocate for cutting oil and gas as much as possible, but even ignoring the war, the order of operations is more or less wrong. Electrify your homes, fix your grid, then cut subsidies.

His resume has some impressive accomplishments, but has enough BS that it makes me suspicious of what teaching courses on ethical design actually entails.
The featured article being #2 on HN says something.
> As you've said, we were known, for example, for "intentionally-obscure headlines." Guess what, that works for some people - and it was fun - but it was holding us back reaching many more people, not just from the headline tone but also aggregation and sharing. And I want our original, technical, and best coverage seen by as many folks as possible.

This is like being a curry shop known for having intensely flavorful but spicy curry - thus having dedicated fans who enjoy that flavor - and toning it down in flavor and spice because you want to have more general appeal. Now nobody thinks of you as "that shop with the intense curry" but just one of many curry shops.

Now you're just like every other shitty tech news website and competing for the same generic eyeballs who will read a story from you that happens to appear in google news and never come back.
I have a US post-paid VZW plan, but spend 300+ days per year outside of the country.

The web is now a virtual machine combined with a content delivery service and “web dev” companies are actually just building software that runs on it. If this were 1994 all of these companies would be shipping disks in boxes instead.
> how else are you getting leverage from a story in disagreement?

It’s leverage held in reserve, not planned for immediate exploit. If we part ways and all is hunky dory, it sits stale. But if e.g. the firm gets bought by an asshole and he frivolously pursues ex employees for dumb reasons, e.g. deciding a non-compete covers everything from finance to gardening, I have something to fight back with. (One can similarly ask why the company needs non-disparagement protection.)

Employers and former employees get in stupid tiffs all the time.

> Life today for almost everyone in the West is better than ever before,

I'm 60. You've just got to be joking.

When minimum wage was $3.30, a one-bedroom apartment cost $285. Now the same apartment is well over $2000.

My university tuition averaged about $1200 a year - that was about 10 35-hour weeks at minimum wage. But I got small scholarships that paid for it. My girlfriend worked in a sub shop two nights a week and had a summer job. No one went into debt.

One working parent could support a stay-at-home parent and pay off a mortgage.

Or you could work part-time and have a modest life and pursue your dream.

People just walked into career jobs right out of university.

Listening to young people today, unless they're in one of a small number of very much in demand fields, the idea of stability, steady advancement, or buying a home seem impossible.
One, it wasn't just shoplifting, they were also assaulted by the student. Two, there's a big difference between saying "it's risky, I wouldn't do, company policy is not to," etc. and "detaining criminals is archaic and if you do it and the criminal happens to be black, that makes you a racist."

I probably wouldn't do anything either. But I also wouldn't begrudge anyone who who has spent years building that business who decides they're not going to let people just walk in and steal stuff.
I remember a comment from their CEO complaining that a 3 million USD comp was a "sacrifice" she was making because she believes on the mission. Totally insane.
The iOS version of Animal Crossing is the same way.
I know I should hate google for some reason, but despite the SEO spam, they are still better than bing and duck duck go.

I think my cocktail of degoogled Google products + adblock solutions + being that person who doesn't care about privacy has made Google 'fine'.

I avoid using Google products unless they are FOSS. I'm not going to get screwed by "play music" or similar again.

Out of FAAMG, I think I like Google the best. But that doesn't say much.
> I think the closest to a 'low gravity' environment is the oceans.

The oceans are not a low gravity environment, and gravity is no less when floating in water. Depending on the density of the water and the object that is floating, it is buoyancy that causes floating in water. Gravity works the same on the floater and the water.

And we could correctly assume gravity is essential for life, as without gravity, not even the Earth would not revolve around the Sun, let alone whatever it is that life is supposed to form on in low gravity, and we know that light is essential for life.
I'm in a highly regulated industry segment and work in an information security related function. You've made my day.
But do the teams know that? I love picking on Timnit Gebru and her time at Google. She clearly didn't know what her actual job was, which is funny because she seems to be good at marketing herself. You think she'd know Google was using her for marketing.
>An emphasis on, or even appearance of, productivity

Is Bob's emphasis on productivity directly or is that a result of a different emphasis.

From the article:

>This creates a situation where Bob is becoming somewhat anxious, as he feels guilty for not having enough tasks and is getting increasingly worried that our manager might be holding tasks from him in so he can fired without much hassle at some point in the near future.

One interpretation is that Bob isn't anxious about the lack of productivity nor about others not being productive. His anxiousness is from not doing a good enough job and risking his job. Bob is likely some combination of having been taught to please people, that he must be maximally productive to keep his job, and being in a position where loss of a job would hurt enough to cause anxiety (developers being one of the few roles that are able to earn themselves into not needing a job, but Bob isn't there yet).

This isn't relate to Bob's intelligence, but to his upbringing, what he was taught to value, and his current moral situation (and a lack of teaching him to pace himself to avoid burnout). In this specific case Bob is doing well enough to be causing a problem for others, but it is common to meet many Bob-like people don't get through the entire backlog as quickly or otherwise have an effectively infinite backlog. Those cases often seem destined for some burnout related negative outcome.
This doesn't qualify as a conflict of interest. Does WaPo have to disclose "conflicts" because thousands of companies pay them to serve their ads?
I think you are mixing solid and much less solid science here.

GHG:s and their warming effects are solid science. This can be tested out in any lab.

Statistical climate modelling, and the historical climate reconstructions are much more shaky and are probably not much more reliable than economics is. And probably for the same reason too: Experiments in those area are very difficult to perform.
If we start by liquidating Google and Microsoft the government will have plenty of money to buy EV's for the proletariat.
This is empirically not true.
So what about when product management starts demanding even more interactivity on a marketing site built without React?

I pushed back hard on introducing React when the site already had jQuery. Another developer said they could do what was needed with React.

The marketing site started shipping both jQuery and React.

I hate the JavaScript/React ecosystem so damn much for its complexity.
> The government is subsidizing marriages, children, and saving for retirement

Only if we don't pay any taxes in the first place and the tax benefit is a credit, or if all our income belongs to the government and they just let us keep some of it. Few companies pay no net tax and our income belongs to us and is taken away by taxes for various debatably beneficial/justifiable uses.
It was difficult for me to watch severance because so many of the interactions among the employees reminded me of my time Amazon. I actually cried a little bit when the boss threw a coffee cup and then blamed her report for it.
I was laid off (with a future date), paid an additional $30k to stay till that date and then hired back with an additional $30k bump in salary. Companies do all sort of stupid stuff.
> That silence was worth a lot to Twitter

Totally agree. These agreements make sense. Just saying that if I were shown the door, I wouldn’t sign. (Different question if I’m asked while happily employed. Would be more inclined in that case, provided it only applied through the date of signing and if it were mutual.)
Not acceptable if you would have 4-8 people working on it - where any of these people stay with company around 2-4 years on average.

Not acceptable if each person working for 2 years builds his own abstractions that new hires have to learn - but you make it easier by using framework and hiring devs for that framework.

Not acceptable if you would have 20 of such teams and you would have to have UI/UX standardized.
Fix your Clojure code: Clojure comes with design patterns (Part 2)
I used to think like this, but nowadays I think that's no a real problem, at eñadt to me. I find it very easy to go across different JavaScript projects with different libraries, etc. Usually the worst part is understanding the business domain, the warts of the application, the know bugs, problems, etc.

The libraries used, as long as they have documentation and are supported and more or less widely used...that's fine, they're easy to learn. And if I have to switch between 10 different projects, then for me that's the actual problem, not the fact they have different architectures.

What has been a terrible experience for me, was when at two past companies in an attempt to "standardize" they ended up with custom in house libraries and wrappers, all of them built in house, undocumented, with the original developers already gone and nobody knowing/wanting to touch them. And then the rejection of any kind of improvement or modernization because "then that new app will have a different architecture"... So what? We have a terrible one, and we need to do every project terrible, so everything is consistently terrible.
For me it's stupid audit stuff. The date entered as the transaction is a date sooner than it posted and stupid stuff like that. I've mostly trained myself but I still get stuff bounced for little things like that. I've mostly trained myself to follow all the nit-picky rules carefully but I still miss from time to time. As I say, it's mostly not Concur itself which usually warns you of missing fields/receipts.
What is your recommendation for web apps that are not highly interactive but need interactivity to improve the UX?
I'm having our third kid in December and we need a bigger car.

No idea what to do. Wait? Used are the same price as new.
This isn't really true. You can buy unleaded gasoline that is very high octane with no alcohol.

We add alcohol because it is subsidized, so it is cheap.

The problem isn't D vs R, it's the risk of high paying oil jobs being lost, even if it isn't a lot of jobs these are the people that donate to campaigns and fuel their local economy.
For the last couple of new cars that I bought, I emailed the "internet sales manager" at three local dealers and asked for a quote. I bought the car from the dealer with the lowest quote. I paid the quoted amount. This has been the suggested way to buy cars for like 20 years. I've not bought a new car in a while. Would this approach somehow break down now?
The bill was introduced on 3/26/2021, and has no further action. It's likely just posturing.
As a fresh reader of Marcus Aurelius I'm glad I understand that this criticism is poor. "Stoics do not deny themselves pleasure per se, but by denying importance to things outside of their control, they make it easy to inadvertently do so." That's not true. It's clear in the writings that the stoics were completely empathetic but they always kept a logical point of view meaning they wouldn't rant in god for example and eventually accept the harsh reality.
This is political suicide. There's no way this wouldn't directly and immediately affect gas prices at a time when they are already creating political turmoil. Not to mention strengthen Russia's hand significantly.

I would like to hear in what possible way this is a better idea (practically or politically) than just a straight carbon tax.
Bob needs to pace himself and realize he doesn't have to be working all the time.
One factor I haven't seen mentioned is that Amazon has a split-personality problem.

AWS is a tech company. Reasonably comparable with other FAANGs, with wide variation within teams.

Amazon is a logistics company with a web site. Logistics companies treat their employees very differently than tech companies. Amazon proper seems to me to have split personality.

Warehouse employees are treated badly, but pretty well in many ways, compared to other warehouse employees.

Tech employees at Amazon are treated well, but I can see an exec that came through the logistics part having a different mentality.

The US predominantly posts job openings for which no one will be hired for compliance.

They actually hire H1B visa workers or contractors to churn out the code solely based on cost.
Based on experience, I suspect this might be more of an issue using programming languages with more expressive type systems, when to leverage the type system to model edge cases exhaustively.

Weaken the type system, reduce the automated test coverage, and you are likely to find that edge cases are addressed on more of a "who's currently yelling at us about what feature isn't working" basis, which will ultimately mean that fewer edge cases get addressed or are more likely to persist as undetected bugs, which could be either desirable or undesirable, depending on your domain.
A big part of the reason browsers are so expensive to build and maintain is because Google keeps expanding the set of features browsers are expected to implement (and Mozilla offers no meaningful resistance to this.) Google creates a problem so large that only Google has the funds to solve it.
You’re confirming OP’s point, this is a video-game thingie. I personally don’t know anyone who plays or cares about Fortnite, I’m a man in my early 40s with little to no friends who work in the IT industry.

I disagree with the comment you are replying to, but I also disagree with yours too.

Yes. Every time fasting comes up (because it ALWAYS come up) there's a ton of claims made but it almost always reduces down to the same effects that reducing your calories would have. Eat less, eat better, and get active.

Well, I'm sure mypy and things like it will continue to grow, and the discipline of Python type hinting will probably become more popular, not less, because it offers new opportunities for catching bugs (but maybe not for optimizations, which I think is interesting*). So maybe it was an open question whether type checking would always terminate (now answered in the negative), but that shouldn't stop anyone from using type hints, considering their practical benefits.

carbon tax is already a politically dead idea.

Well, if she can be getting paid $10M somewhere else, then it is a sacrifice.
Leaving that kind of money on the table to share a story is not a practical action that makes sense to me without a six figure book deal in place.
Thought experiment: If these "amortizations schedules" didn't already exist, would there be any chance we would introduce them today, given how profitable and successful oil and gas businesses are and most certainly would still be without these subsidies?
When you put money in a 401k, whoever manages that 401k is getting the subsidy. They get to manage more of your money than they otherwise would.
This was introduced 03/26/2021. Not sure why it's relevant enough now to be at the top of HN.

Is there any online forum for tech where people talk about tech instead of pretending like their one-sided political team is THE answer to all of the worlds problems despite both "teams" proving they are incompetent?

I'm in web development since 2000s, at that time there was pretty good web authoring tools like Macromedia Dreamweaver.
Everything got complicated because a fundamental limitation of the HTML document model: having dynamic pages.
Imagine creating and maintaining a catalog by having a single .html file for each item in the catalog.

I believe with Dreamweaver MX you could have sort of a template and generate the static pages.

I think this solution wasn't massively adopted because you had to rely on Macromedia server side ( Cold Fusion ).

That was when PHP and ASP entered the scene allowing you to have dynamic pages in a linux or windows server.

At that time, javascript implementations and rendering engines had massive discrepancies, Internet Explorer, Mozilla .., and to solve that emerge the first (that I recall) massively adopted javascript libraries, jQuery & Motools.

Then Ajax[1] became popular because it made posible to interact with the server without refreshing the page, and that's when managing state became a problem in the browser as SPA started to become more and more complex.

It's amusing seeing how we went full circle when SPAs have gotten so heavy and slow that now static page generation it's sold as a killer feature in Nextjs.

When we could do this in 99's version of Dreamweaver with a nice UI.
Maybe it's not a fair comparison, but you get my point, >20 years and see where we are.
I have a creepy feeling that this entire thread has been infested by Facebook insiders who are working on something that is awful, and lobbied and heckled to get the people fired who were telling them it was awful. No one else would have this sort of venom.
Which is fair, but oil and gas companies are some of the wealthiest companies around, they don't need government support to make new investments. That would be socialist; why can't they stop going to Starbucks and just pull themselves up by the bootstraps?
That's exactly why I'm skeptical of whether a team like this could have been addressing real harms. If I heard about a nutrition team at Frito-Lay, I would assume they're working on nonsense until proven otherwise, because how could you meaningfully improve nutrition under the constraint that your company needs to sell lots of potato chips?
