> Propaganda is trying very hard to deny any killings of civilians that do happen, if the goal was genocide they would try to portray Ukrainians as less than humans

I fail to follow the logic here. If I beat you with a baseball bat, and will try very hard to deny that, does it mean my goal was not to beat you with a baseball bat? What if at the same time I will post articles in popular blogs about how you are a great human being and we are basically brothers?
I think you can probably chalk up at least fifty percent of the corporate evil in the world to the fact that choices are personal but consequences are organizational.
There are two scenarios.

1. Ukraine or pro-Ukrainian forces.

2. Russia. Attack the gas market which just settled, and raise the prices again.
ID's aren't bad, they're unique identifiers, and useful for (deep) linking to specific pieces of content within documents. Please use ID's as liberally as you please, and use them for their proper use.
Alan Kay was the idea man. He situated Smalltalk in a context of, this is programming as media, as a form of expression and a means to learn and teach, and not just an engineering activity; when it comes to Smalltalk, Dan Ingalls did much of the implementation work.
Disagree with mentioning Robin Williams. While he might have had depression, he was also developing dementia, so while the loss is still big, I see what he did as understandable, maybe even rational.

There was also a This American Life episode last week about physician-assisted suicide, so maybe I'm just primed to feel this way.

In fact, if we step back a bit, a new hire _always_ brings some risk with them, because interview processes just aren’t perfect. What we’re mainly worried about here is accidentally hiring someone who we shouldn’t be able to hire, mainly for legal reasons like they’re in another country and we’re not remitting their income taxes properly.

Secondarily there’s the “can they actually do the job” problem that has always existed. The new issue here is that we will now waste time on too many new hires who can’t make the grade, because we’re assuming that our hiring process was really good at weeding out the poor fits, and these “games” exploit the weaknesses. Rather than get into an arms race with fraudsters, perhaps hire two or three people for every opening on a short term and then only keep the ones who deliver.

I feel like, and hope gorhill responds to this, that uMatrix was similar to this. Done and stable and needing to be touched just so people can wouldn't ask if it was still maintained. (Pre manifestv3 that is)
No they're not. And the last time the Samsung battery scare play was attempted, it was verified to be forty or fifty phones, out of several millions sold.
I think contractors taking on 2 or more full time roles at once is rife at the moment in the UK. In 2021 I put together a team of 7 contractors, and I’m as sure as I can be there 3 of them were double billing. Incredible!
There’s always WASM, and I think Zuck is more interested in VR than trying to push a new web standard.

Yet therapists can only provide coping mechanisms or listen to one's complaints if the root cause is out of reach. Many times, those aren't enough.

And personally, I have beef with the continuing commodification of what communities used to offer. Nothing against therapists (a man's gotta eat), but making transactions the first line of defense sits wrong with me.
Using English as an intermediate language is just... a big no. I get it's a pragmatic decision, but English has way, way too many ways to lose information.

For this reason I prefer DeepL over Google Translate. The former has a much more curated corpus.

A team on workerd? I'm sure there is a lot of work involved in running the massive Workers platform, but curiously enough, the workerd git repo itself has relatively few commits from other engs... just where is the team? ;)
There have been a lot of failed new car company startups. Like the Tucker, the Bricklin, the DeLorean. It's really, really, really hard to create a new car company. The usual problem is way, way underestimating the amount of capital it will take.

Tesla is an amazing company because they achieved it.

Apple's expertise is in making software and tiny electrical gadgets. How they thought that would translate into expertise in making cars is beyond me. It makes about as much sense as diversifying into making jet engines.

Many (most?) large companies might take months to fire someone even if it was blatant and obvious. Process to follow, etc.

Considering how distracted and overwhelmed many managers are right now, some might go years before catching on.

Even if no code got checked in. Chances are, they could also farm out a bit here and there to a friend to make
it a harder problem to resolve for the company.
We have our own custom datasets, models and code we've used to train them. REBEL can be considered "prior art" though :)
> you couldn't possibly critique the idea of forced equality of outcomes.

I suspect it's actually exactly the opposite - Vonnegut himself grew up in the 30's and 40's when socialism and communism were still untested ideas without the evidentiary baggage they carry today. The only people who are attracted to socialism in modern times are people who start with an equality of outcome mindset and can see from history that socialist societies inevitably devolve into what they (think they) want.
Wonder if that makes sense given that Europe has just become dependent on US gas, and US being the main proponent of sanctions.
It is already fragmented by socio-cultural borders.

If you are an Internet user in Europe, or even India, I would expect that you have absolute zero prior knowledge of Lewd Dreams meme. From the western borders of China all the way to Bering Strait it’s as basic of a knowledge as it subtly being inserted into or even exploited in totalitarian state propaganda.

But you haven’t seen it, because you have no reason to(no offense intended); there are invisible cultural borders already, in this global platform.
the ID's in DOM will never conflict or cause an issue with your own JS code. You can't reliably use 'named access on the window object' (the name of this feature) because of this, so it's never a problem, and also largely useless.
"You can accept a struct where an interface is a parameter but you cannot return a struct where an interface is the return type."

Possibly I'm misunderstanding the complaint, but that is because an interface is a fat pointer, so one returns a pointer to a struct implementing the interface.

I find it pretty funny that we humans have invented all these transpilers and bundlers, invested probably billions of dollars in JITs, just to keep writing JS

If they want to actually start and collect a few paychecks, then they'll need to pass a background check from HireRight or whoever. This'll probably include transcript checks, verifying past employment, etc.

Much easier to just use a real person's identity.

The main issue with that book is that it talks about BDDs in general, as opposed to the most common ROBDD that people are probably interested in.

Its a lot of 'spinning up' to start from branching programs and working your way to ROBDDs. In many ways, ROBDDs are easier than a lot of the stuff discussed earlier in the book.

So the layout probably should be reworked. But otherwise, the info is all there, and its good that the book hits "rock bottom" so to speak, with regards to theory.
I am on your same wavelength. Props to you for pursuing this mentality. I believe you would enjoy the book “The Innovation Delusion” by Vinsel and Russell
Thanks for feedback! I'll indeed be adjusting examples to always return results as was suggested here.
Ok, Krashen is interesting, and maybe talking more often is good for learning languages only because it gets you to receive correct and comprehensible input from the language

I'm unconvinced to be honest, as pretty much everything else that human learn is made better by practice, but I'm not a linguist.

I still think that proposing to start learning a language by spending 15000 hours (or 1500, or 150) listening to it, instead of trying to practice early on is a very inefficient way to learn a language, compared to pretty much anything

Yeah I've had people ask to buy my codementor account (https://codementor.io/jleclanche). I forwarded all of them to support@arc.dev, but I suspect some people always say yes ...
Would people pay though?

Say it costs $0.75 USD to ask a noob question. The answerer receives $0.50 USD of that. The asker gets to pick the person who answered them best, and failing that, upvotes would decide whom the spoils go to.

It would be easy to game such a system. Ask your question, get the answer, have a sock puppet account also post that answer, pick your sock puppet as the winner, only pay $0.25 for your question to be answered and stiff the person who actually put the work in to solve your problem.

If it were upvote based, people would have multiple sock puppet accounts to upvote their sock puppet answer.

Adding money into the mix makes it more difficult by a massive order of magnitude. Stack Overflow could open a paid noob question area and profit immensely from it, but a newcomer would first have to build the audience, get participation, and then introduce the payment system while working constantly to guard against sock puppets ruining the system.
I'm glad they opened this up, but I really hope "javascript first, every runtime should look like v8" doesn't become the standard here.
No, a single 128bit load/store even if it addresses two registers is way easier to handle than dumping a variable amount of your whole register file in a single instruction.

That's why the ARM1 had a microcode engine for LDM/STM despite having 'RISC' as the center letter in it's initialism.
Well the best way for Hans to prove he didn’t cheat is to give amazing analysis after the game demonstrating his super-elite chess thinking. Unfortunately, he often sounds like someone who did nothing on a group project trying to explain how it works to the professor.

I know this isn’t proof he cheated, but it doesn’t do him any favors when he’s already under suspicion.

Edit: Way back, decades ago, in Warcraft 2, I became strong enough to regularly get accused of cheating by people who weren’t familiar with me. However the converse side of this is I was extremely accurate at detecting actual cheating.
Let's hope not, that sounds absolutely terrible. With my physical wallet, if I lose it I can call the bank to get my cards frozen, I can go to town hall to get my ID reissued,...

Whereas with crypto if I lose my key/wallet, I'm SOL.

Because that's revisionist history?

Do you have any written evidence that this was a commonly accepted "social contract"? Because I've been using FLOSS since last year's of last millennium as well and I've never heard of such attitudes until recent years. (Even today, I rarely see OSS project leaders actually saying they expected all users to give back something -- it's mostly other users who somehow assume everyone else needs to do so. And if I may say, making presumptions on the intentions of OSS developers is a bit... presumptuous to say the least, even if well intentioned.)

One of the few "giving back" contracts I'm aware of is the GPL. Which explicitly states in the license that you need to open source your modifications if you distribute the binary. Vim nags you a bit to donate to Uganda children, but that's explicit as well.
So my guess is that the scam ends with the scammer negotiating a "deposit" to start contract work, and once the deposit is paid they disappear. Otherwise I think this scam would be a lot more work than just actually getting programming gigs and doing the programming work.
Use ids when JS needs to reference unique elements. Use classes for styling and accessing groups.
I know a therapist that works with a demographic that very few people can muster even an ounce of empathy towards. These people struggle with deeply disturbing and intrusive thoughts, and I'm amazed how this therapist can help make their lives more livable and avoid acting on their impulses.

That said, if your therapist was "destroyed" by your unsolvable but grave questions - you should just move onto someone else. That isn't likely to be a common occurrence.

No, Siri isn't capable of doing things like ordering medication, because that requires more than just improving NLP capabilities.

It requires there being some specific facility for Siri to place orders. It requires some mechanism for conveying payment. It requires being able to determine where to order from in any given case (because Apple, unlike Amazon, does not attempt to be the one-stop-shop for everything under the sun).

This really seems to be just perpetuating the popular, but dangerous, fallacy that "AI" is all basically the same thing, and if you keep feeding enough data to your NLP algorithms, at some point they'll become able to do things that affect the real world purely by some kind of handwaved "ability to connect to the network".
That's interesting. Do you have any links for more info?
> “Maintenance must be valued on its own terms, and that means tearing down the economic system that rejects it.”

This is not how you get people to side with you about the importance of maintenance.

Honestly, if I have to choose between capitalism and valuing maintenance, I am going to go with capitalism every single time.

In isolation definitely, but in real world code it might be faster to use querySelector for branchy code if it doesn’t always use an id. As with everything, if it’s not performance-sensitive write the code that’s easier for humans to read, and if it is measure first.
> imagine car manufacturers are somewhat tired of always building HUDs and in vehicle control systems. So gradually standardizing on a way to take all the displays/touchscreens in a vehicle and let them be run by Carplay seems like the future.

What is then remaining as distinctive feature of a car vendor? The design?

With their custom entertainment system they can confront they driver with their own brand identity and differentiate how they integrate the different features.

But with EVs the engines aren't as different as fossil fuel engines, they don't have their gear shifting with that adjustment anymore. Lots of brand vlauebis lost and becomes obvious to the buyer that cars are 95% the same across brands.
As you might already know, this philosophy of openly asking questions in a public channel is one of the important aspects of open source development model.

FWIW, many moons ago I wrote an etiquette doc[1] on being a decent community citizen when asking questions on upstream IRC channels (yes, they're still a thing :P) and what to avoid, etc. Many of these guidelines apply in an internal setting too.

I'm not taking anything out hijacking anyone. I'm not here to talk about whether piracy is or isn't moral. Believe it or not, that's totally irrelevant.

The cold hard truth is that an author can't choose to make their book free, because they can't choose to make it - the book itself - cost.

Books aren't individual objects anymore. They cost nothing to reproduce. They cost nothing to redistribute. Any value we assign to a book can be infinitely diluted by anyone at any time, because it's free and instantaneous for them to make new copies and share them.

It's pretty arrogant to tell authors that copyright will provide any guarantee to protect their income. It doesn't. It can't.

It's pretty arrogant to blame the death of copyright on piracy. Piracy is not the cause, it's the result. It's not the knife, it's the open wound.
I think the other way to look at it is there's just different workloads that need different solutions. Firecracker is perfect for Lamba-style workloads.

But some companies (who don't want to manage datacenter resources, but do want the large scale and flexibility of cloud computing) want a whiz-bang multi-tenant enterprise containerized solution (say, using K8s as orchestrator). And maybe one of their critical applications has certain requirements that necessitate an HBA, deep packet inspection, an HSM, a high-precision clock, etc. They need strong isolation guarantees, so they want a VM, but they want K8s to manage it.

Kata Containers seems to fit the latter, as it can change hypervisors, supports more architectures, advanced networking features, device assignment, etc. Seems to align most with on-prem cloud as it's maintained by the OpenStack people.

This story is much more fun when you come at it from the interviewer's position. You've been doing interviews every week. They're mostly rejections. They're the same questions over and over with minor variation. You're about to repeat the experience for the 18th time and you're 100% on autopilot. But suddenly you're in a spy thriller. This is the greatest thing that's ever happened.

Is it a good legal/corporate decision to hide the person who claims to be the original and let him listen to the interview with the other candidate? Holy fuck, no. Is it going to be WAY more thrilling? Oh my god yes; how could you not?
For me, I stopped thinking of "infinity" meaning "bigger number than you can imagine" to just simply meaning "unlimited" or "never ending."

That way the term works equally well at different scales. There are infinitely many real numbers between 1 and 2. There are infinitely many natural numbers.

Leaving aside the fact that Richard Hanania self-identifies as a troll at the beginning of this piece, it seems to me that his outlook is based on a deep underling anxiety about women and sex:

>To put it in stark terms, if you are a single male, every time you see a woman that you might be interested in dating and you don’t at least talk to her, you have failed on a moral, intellectual, and spiritual level.

The claim to have overcome anxiety and fear is a popular self-help trope. In most cases, what really happens is that the person's baseline anxiety transmutes into a second order anxiety about being too anxious. The usual effect of this – which we can certainly see in Hanania's case – is to make them obnoxious assholes rather than cowards.
I've posted a bit of a rant below but I figured I'd make another comment with actual tips to prevent this.

First off, a lot of comments indeed recommend insisting on a functioning webcam. This might be uncomfortable for some (and shouldn't be a mandatory, long-term "webcam mandatory" policy), but explaining the reasons behind it should make the vast majority of people be fine with it at the start. Long-term, a culture where people feel comfortable having their cameras on regularly is also good so people turn it on voluntarily, even beyond deterring fraud (personally I prefer seeing someone's face rather than a profile picture).

Second, this kind of behavior is only going to get more common; there's no way to deter it in advance. The best you can do is optimize your hiring pipeline for faster turnarounds so you can quickly react when you detect such behavior and it doesn't cost you as much. Maybe an initial, short "contract to hire" system is better, as it allows you to delay all the employment-related formalities (which are slow and costly) to after you've already confirmed the candidate isn't a fraudster.

Finally, the reason people do this kind of fraud is because they won't get in if they stay honest. If you actually need development services, does it actually have to be an employee? Maybe you can just be open to contractors or outsourcing agencies, let them in "honestly" with appropriate contract terms that protect both sides, and then it reduces the incentive for the "fake" employees to lie to you if they can get in legitimately.
That is something we'll be adding shortly. It's not there yet since we weren't quite ready to go public yet.

A lot of people simply turned the TV on as background. It doesn't mean they were watching it.

I remember daytime TV in the 60s. Jack LaLane's exercise show, aimed at bored housewives. You had to be desperately bored to watch that. There were daytime soap operas, about as interesting as watching paint dry (they were aimed at bored housewives). Then there were variety shows the local TV stations themselves produced aimed at preschool kids. Like the Krusty the Clown show on the Simpsons. The shows were just a camera pointed at a stage and the host tried to figure out something to do. I bet those shows are all lost from being taped over. There were talk shows, which were very cheap to produce. Game shows, which I never understood the attraction of.

The better stuff was prime time evening. I liked Daktari, but that was a half hour once a week. Movies were very rarely shown. The evening news 30 minutes was popular.

When Star Trek TOS appeared, that was amazing. Even my very skeptical dad actually said it was good.

It's not that I didn't want to watch TV all the time. I did. But there was very little to see on it. Much more fun to go outside and meet up with the neighborhood kids and do kid stuff.
Intel announces Arc A770 GPU at $329, launches October 12th
You describe only one reason for choosing a car: utility. But cars are often chosen for other reasons: style, status, some cool factor or compelling feature. UX is generally not a dealmaker, especially since nobody outside the car sees it. But bad UX definitely can be a deal breaker.

For me, a good example of this is recent BMWs. The instrument cluster on 2 and 3 series models is hideous -- misshapen dials, poor color choices, bling where there should be understatement. The days of simply communicating only essential info elegantly are long gone. I simply would not buy a car with a dashboard that ugly. (These insights should matter to BMW since I've driven and loved their cars for 30 years, but oddly they haven't sought my opinion. Alas, it shows.)

Bad UX is indeed important to some of us.
