Near the bottom of the README, it says:

Programming is not my career, but rather a hobby, and I developed h-m-m because I wanted to have something like this and couldn't find one. Therefore, what I've done here may have a lot of room for improvement.

It makes sense to me that a hobbyist might well build a CLI in whatever is convenient for them, and not know to look for standard serialization formats.
Is it possible that the anvil records nuclear events? The anvil is old enough to have been forged before any radioactive isotopes from nuclear blasts were present in the environment, so any evidence of radiation (radioactive decay, paths of high energy particles) in the anvil would be very specifically traceable to Area 51 test flights.
I am not sure why you're being downvoted, because I not only have witnessed this happening within my own family/friends (it is sad and scary), but we are now having studies show that some common forms of anti-racism training has a "backfire" effect that produces more racism. https://hbr.org/2016/07/why-diversity-programs-fail

This is alarming not only because of the obvious reason--racism sucks and we should be trying to eliminate it as much as possible--but because the current political climate means that people are too scared to speak up and say, "Hey, can we please maybe re-think how we approach this so we don't accidentally cause harm?"

I know this from experience. I spoke up about this at my company, pointing out that the form of training we use has been shown to have a backfire effect that hurts minorities. The backlash was swift and damaging--I was accused of being a privileged white person with hurt feelings who "wasn't willing to do the work." Meanwhile I got over a dozen private messages from minorities thanking me for speaking up and stating they had identical concerns.

I will definitely not be bringing up my concerns again, and neither will anyone else in my company with half a brain. Which means my company will continue to use a form of training that is known to increase racism, which freaking sucks.
Gaming is why the pipes are fast. Porn is why the pipes are fat.
This is not always the case. Didn't some company just shutter their German office? Probably that hit whites harder.

But it's plausible that layoffs would hit certain groups harder right now. If your company had a big affirmative action push after the summer of 2020, you might have a bunch of junior minority employees. Perhaps they would be let go sooner than more senior employees or employees who not hired via an affirmative action program.
Oddly enough, I somewhat agree with your CEO. In the hypothetical scenario where I would ever visit a porn site, I wouldn't ever want to feel like I'm being funneled anywhere. I would already not trust the site and feeling funneled would make me wary of falling into a scam/exploit/trap, even though most sites would most likely only ever want ad money and would never care to scam/exploit/trap me.
Kelly Johnson (Lockheed Skunkworks) was given the task of designing and building the first American jet fighter prototype in 180 days. He did it in 143 days. Designed and built.
Yup, I think that's the implication of the "space laser network". The plan for Starlink has been to have laser crosslinks between the satellites to provide coverage in places where the satellites can't directly see a ground station.

Does anyone even remember when YouTube had no pre-roll or mid-roll ads at all, only small banner ads? That used to be the thing I liked about YouTube compared to all the other video sites.
Dagster's product is great, but comparing it to MWAA is unfair. MWAA is a poor quality product - difficult to use, unstable, inflexible, and poorly-supported. A fairer comparison would be against Astronomer. Astronomer is a MUCH better product than MWAA.
And what is stopping you from believing that this code is how their mechanics disable it?
I love this idea.

I just tried with a package.json of mine and 33% of the money seems to go to Microsoft/TypeScript, which seems odd for a bunch of reasons: they don't seem to have Github Sponsors setup, they don't seem to have an Open Collective either, and TS is owned by one of the wealthiest companies on the planet, so for it to suck up any meaningful percentage of all donations seems wrong.

Edit: ah, sorry, per year figures are displayed in the breakdown table. So I guess TS would get more like 3%, which sounds way more reasonable.
But the devil is in the details. My skip level manager had a goal something to the effect of equal or lower female attrition. A female engineer left for a better job at Facebook. Not too long after I was on a PIP and while I can't prove they were directly related it didn't exactly leave me a warm and fuzzy feeling. At minimum the bullshit of a PIP I was on would have been looked at a lot more critically if I were female since that would have made the scoreboard 0-2 instead of 1-1.
Nice tool.

A question to others who enjoy similar tools:

What is the difference between this (or other) tool to a simple document on Gdocs with multilevel bullet lists?
It's an autoantonym, but one where different Englishes have chosen different preferences. Like "moot."

I thought the YF-23 had a larger weapon bay, but there was some debate at the time about the design of the delivery mechanism. On the flip side, having one, large bay allows for weapons configurations that aren't possible with multiple, shallow bays.

Maneuverability in a stealth plane is not of much use. Just like the F-35, the goal of the YF-23 was to use its vastly superior stealth capabilities take out the enemies before a dogfight happened. Given that drones can take G's that will turn a human's brain to mush, this is a much more sensible strategy in modern combat and renders the F-22 vectored thrusters as mostly an expensive and useless feature that sacrifices the much more important stealth of the YF-23's hidden engines.

I believe the claims of being worried about timetables were just making up excuses to choose a worse plane. The F-22 was 100% redesigned anyway (making a "competition" nothing but a formality). It was delivered years late and WAY over budget.
> and maybe move the conversation forward

What does this actually mean, in the context of "when we fired people, we considered their race"?
It seems so stunningly obvious that:

- diversity statements are an intrusive ideological test forced upon fields that are entirely unrelated, under pain of ostracization by a mob of students, taught to do so by activist professors who don't teach how to think but what to think.

- the kinds of colleges that demand them are insanely expensive, have a bloated administration, and offer value nowhere near what they cost, demonstrating that true inclusion and equity is the last thing they care about.

- the people who support them are intolerant, not interested in open inquiry, and do not understand the first thing about the principles they are claiming to uphold.

- the grievances they are obsessed about are situated in a very narrow, american-centric, pampered point of view, which treats history as a fairy tale where only white men had agency, and are responsible for all the ills of the world.

Whether or not it violates the constitution is entirely immaterial seeing as it simply violates common sense, and ticks every box of totalitarian conformism... the kind of thing universities are supposed to protect enlightened societies from.

Insane that people don't see this, but here we are.
>If the wording was something like "won't call the cops if you're way too fucking high" I'd find it more believable.

That’s exactly what they mean, and that is painfully obvious. I do not understand your point here. What exactly are you having difficulty believing? Do you think they intend to advertise that they provide blanket cover for every crime on earth?

I am having difficulty believing that anyone would actually believe that that is what’s intended by that statement. It is much more believable that a person would intentionally misinterpret that statement to make some sort of vague joke about language.

It looks like it operates at 35,000 km and relays the signal between the base and Australia. The ping time seems to average a hair under 250ms.

https://www.satellite-calculations.com/Satellite/170HourList...

http://bhs.smokeping.ovh.net/smokeping?target=APAC.AS7474-1

Starlink satellites are mostly in the 550km elevation range. Average pings seem to be in the 50ms range, but this would be single satellite performance. This should drop as more units are brought online and increase capacity. Also, the laser interconnects are theoretically faster than terrestrial fiber, so there are expected to be many long-hauls where starlink will be the fastest option.

https://www.speedcheck.org/starlink-performance-2021/
You know both Russia and China are perfectly capable of targeting and destroying satellites, yes?
The 8% figure doesn’t match real life. My electric bill doubled, my natural gas bill doubled, my municipal bill doubled, my groceries doubled.Everything that makes up the vast majority of my expenditures had doubled.
I thought that laser connectivity wasn't going to be available until V2 of the satellite went in to operation/orbit, and that's not going to happen until SpaceX gets Starship or the modified Falcon off the ground?
Pretty much nailed it!
This is the best advice I've read so far. I think that it's good to separate "I need a hard copy of a document I have" with "I'd like to learn how to reverse engineer proprietary hardware". If you need a hard copy of a document, just email the thing to Kinkos and be done. If you want to start reverse engineering stuff, I'd get the "forward engineering" down first. Get a USB-capable arduino, try making a rotary encoder attached to it into a Linux input device. Make it show up as a device you can write 3 bytes to and turn the onboard LED that color. If you really want to crawl before you walk, skip USB and attach these things to a Raspberry Pi or similar. (Linux has built in drivers for all of these things, amazingly!) Now you have the basics of the communication down, and you can consider looking at wading into the undocumented archana of a proprietary one-off printer. It's going to be a really big project even for someone who has designed a printer and written a driver for it.

That said, sniffing and replaying packets might get you pretty far. You should be able to do basic things like making the windows driver eject a piece of paper, and then doing that from Linux.
It is brutally unfair to hire by one standard and then suddenly hold them to a higher one. And fairness aside, if you do not look through an anti-racist/anti-oppression lens you would destroy years of work of improving company diversity.
Why would anyone adopt a deflationary asset that people hog as a currency?

You want a currency that encourages usage in the economy, not one being buried in vaults.
Since LN's inception, liquidity and transaction count on the LN have roughly doubled with every year.

In comparison, BCH has lost 80% of its transaction volume in the last year alone. Its blocksize is now 100KB on average and it now processes fewer transactions than LN. It also regularly hard-forks, either because of leadership cults (Ver, Wright, Sechet, ...) or because of scheduled hard-forks every 6 months which kick off all users who haven't updated. It's the opposite of stable and the market apparently does not share its determination in sacrificing decentralization for adoption.
It's sad that these conversations devolve into, "A lack of privacy actually means anything generally bad that I can think of."

Kind of makes it seem like privacy itself can't stand on its own as meritous, and needs to be propped up by overgeneralizations and FUD.
Simple Storage Service (3 S's).
If a company is giving 12+ weeks of severance, you’d think they could just say “12 weeks from now is your last day. If you find new work before then you’re free to leave. We’ll pay you to keep working on your projects for the next 12 weeks”

Why pay someone expensive a salary to not work if the company is facing issues with money already? Like i get the idea of severance, and would want it as an individual, but it seems like it just bleeds extra resources.
Where do you find these contract agents? Or which are some popular ones?
Man, I love when sci-fi becomes reality. It's the cool things that get me excited for some parts of the future, and this is exactly that.
> helping to isolate infrequently encountered and hard to reproduce bugs

As I mentioned in my post, that's the one case where I find value in temporary turning on logging, but having old logs around is awfully costly for the off chance that they help.

> tracing individual resources/requests through a bunch of microservices to better understand some unique situation or behaviour,

That's request tracing, which is different. Just storing a request trace is useful, but that's not what I mean by logging. I'm talking about server application logs.

> identifying whether a particular code path is actually in use and if so how heavily

Again that would be request tracing, not application logging.

> They're particularly valuable for production issues. If something has gone wrong and alerts are pinging around, I appreciate the chance to figure out what it was from what the logs are telling me, rather than having to turn the logs on and try to trigger the same problem again deliberately in a production environment!

If the problem doesn't happen again after you turn on logging, then the incident is over isn't it? The customer is no longer affected. If they are affected, then your logs will keep showing it.
> None of my white bosses have ever had interaction with law enforcement

You must be very good friends with your bosses to know this. People I work with have no idea what interactions I've had with the police.
They can cut 50% and still operate as usual. This is a bloated company with hundreds of employees who coast and nobody even knows they're on the roof.
The people that tend toward terms like Latinx treat non-white folks like children, constantly getting offended on their behalf and denying them agency. It's ironic that many "anti-racists" act in a racist manner.
While I appreciate the sentiment behind LatinX, my main issue with it is that it's mostly a distraction. I can't speak for women, but I imagine their top worries are things like the amount of violence against women [1] (at least in Mexico where my family is originally from), unequal pay, how much the burden of having children rests on their shoulders and limits their careers, etc. You know, stuff that has a significant impact on their lives. Spanish defaulting to male form of words is an archaic reflection of how male-centered the culture is, but it's not the wheel that needs greasing. Trying to change the language to make it less male-focused is both awkward and also seems like a consolation prize that moves the needle for women exactly zero amount. It creates an illusion of progress, while not solving any of the big problems.

well if you extend the analogy between crypto coins and FX, a long-only strategy makes as little sense in crypto as FX. Why would I hold dollars or yen long-term, instead of investing in assets which are productive like equites or bonds.
What high-signal channels are you open to?
Awesome. I am using PHP for some college classes and I can certainly say that I would never want to use it for something like this, but the fact that someone did is pretty awesome. I will definitely be using (probably a fork that I rewrite in a language that I will be willing to maintain) a lot for sure. Awesome work!
Honestly, I’d be fine just treating this (and similar) as skunked terms. Last man standing is gendered and old fashioned. Last person standing is clunky and weird.

Just find a different way of expressing the idea.
I feel like this may not be the best time to open with a cutesy nickname like "Twilions"...

Indeed.

They may not realize it, but they will quietly lose business over time to folks who are not fans of the style of this layoff.
Yes because how would it look different if Bob was playing both the victim and the scammer?
I'd talk to a lawyer or accountant when dealing with a mystery $250K instead of making "starting assumptions". It's certainly not determined by whether a 1099 was filed.
If the wheel is sliding the torque on the wheel will be lower than if the tires were grippier. I guess the comparison is if braking is high (de)-acceleration than the engine. I'm thinking your idea has a lot of the same stresses as engine braking.
> at that time.

Time is the more important thing here.

If you turn on your electric stove at 3pm, when the grid is stressed from the afternoon sun, your electricity is almost certainly coming from a peaker plant (unless you're in California, at which point the peaker-plants are coming on at 6pm or so).

If you turn on your electric stove at 2am in the middle of the night, the grid is almost not being used at all, and cheaper nuclear power / baseload plants are probably what powers your stove.

--------

Its not so much "The Grid has 30% renewable energy on the average". Its "At 2pm, the grid is mostly non-renewable due to the number of peaker plants" and "at 2am the grid is mostly renewable nuclear"

As solar panels get deployed, the times will change, but the concept won't change. Peaker plants are the only plants that can respond to consumers. Anyone using electricity at times outside of what renewable energies can provide will effectively be using natural gas.

I mean, he's quoted by a revolutionary publication as saying:

“We don’t need proof to execute a man. We only need proof that it’s necessary to execute him.”

“We executed many people by firing squad without knowing if they were fully guilty. At times, the Revolution cannot stop to conduct much investigation.”

Unfortunately, he appears not to have been assiduous in taking notes as Stalin was, so hard evidence, so far, is spotty.
I'm pretty sure the point of this thread is that it wasn't a 'military grade' design over a weekend, and as GP notes took over four years. It's sort of like saying Microsoft Excel was designed over a weekend.

The problem people have is that designed is a very flexible word that can mean a great many different things, and because of that it's being used here in a way that means something akin to conceptualized, but also used in the title in this way specifically because it will suggest to people that all the design work was finalized in that period.

That's click-baity in that it plays with people expectations, and not in a way they generally enjoy, so they're annoyed. If you don't like click-bait, the appropriate thing to do is to complain or abstain, otherwise you're just reinforcing their decision to communicate in that way.
WFMU https://wfmu.org

It's like college radio from the 80s, but with the cartoony enhanced powers granted by gamma rays in a horrible accident in New Jersey. Every DJ does their own thing. Station manager Ken claims there's always at least one show on the schedule that anyone can hate, even if they hate different shows.
Yes, the difference is that responsibility is diffused in the former and nobody can be held accountable for it, despite a similar outcome.

And there are plenty of institutions (law enforcement in particular, but there are many others) that actively behave in a racist manner. Again, since there's no policy, nobody in practice can be held accountable for it.

So no, nobody should be surprised that racism is alive and well in 2022. It thrives in the intersection of personal bigotry and the wide open space of discretionary power exercised by figures of authority.
Is that relevant here? I think the issue at hand is how Google leverages the app store to exert control over smartphone companies. The comparison to Apple doesn't make sense. Apple is the only company selling phones running iOS.
> It depresses me that the people considered the best in our industry are such assholes. Bill just wanted to yell at everyone because it was the only way he knew how to motivate?

A professor at my university took exactly this approach to interviewing prospective undergraduates (EDIT: minus the yelling!) He would ask a question, and if the unfortunate candidate started to give the right answer, he would (politely) cut them off, and ask a different/harder question.

He was interested in how candidates answered questions they hadn't already got the answers for.

At the time I regarded this as pure brutality, but looking back on it with a few decades of experience, I can see why he thought his approach was valid.
We often think the edge cases are where the interesting stuff is.

Q: Given a (fairly short) time to interview someone, how would you attempt to find the boundaries of their knowledge, and how they handle stuff at the boundaries?
Seems to work pretty well! Thanks!
Both good reasons but I'd argue #2 is not considered by the engineering in practical reality. Have you seen the lengths some manufacturers require people to go through for things like a simple battery replacement? headlight bulb change? Or even in some cases the hoops to jump through for an oil change? There's some extreme examples out there of each, I heard horror stories from my friend who used to do automotive mechanical work (alternators only reachable by dropping the engine) and there's countless stories over at reddit's /r/Justrolledintotheshop
> I believe this is driven with good intentions. Some people call this "reverse racism", and "it's not really a thing since white people are privileged".

As a brown person I am vehemently opposed to the notion that white people are all privileged or don't face trials and tribulation.
