All I have is personal anecdotes as an Eastern European woman in STEM. Both my parents were engineers. Father a marine engineer. Mother was an early days programmer in the days of punch cards, and also told stories of working as a researcher with some kind of vacuum technology in university. I have vivid memories of her bringing home stacks and stacks of used punch cards so that I could use them as scrap paper to draw in the margins (blank paper was valued and used only for "proper" illustration attempts; sketching and doodling was done on punch cards or in margins of old newspapers).

My grandmother was a mathematics teacher. When I meet another Eastern European person in tech, often I hear that their parents were also engineers of some sort (and commonly were in some sort of rock band before deciding to pursue their engineering career full time...)

Unfortunately some comments here about how women were "totally equal" in the Soviet Union paint an overly rosy picture. In practice, this was not the case. Women were not just expected to do the same professional work as men, but to also be responsible for cooking, cleaning, and domestic duties in general in addition to that.

> If “the economy” believes there will be a recession, there almost certainly will be one. Even if it wasn’t going to happen by itself.

There have been beliefs there will be a recession from the end of the 2008 recession to date. There has been beliefs that things are great and there will never ever ever be a recession ever again.

People who believe a recession is coming are like broken clocks, many of whom have prediced 45 out of the last 3 recessions.
Would you mind sharing changes you feel on the ground? I am from Canada, and feel we are facing unprecedented problems in our society. What is global, and why is created by bad policy ?

Biggest issues in Canada:

1) stupidly priced real estate due to decade plus of factors (rates, building starts, land use, immigration, tax policy quirks)

2) since last year, inflation accelerated making all costs of living too high.. this lack of living wage is a key reason for the great resignation in the service sector imho.

3) tax incentives kill incentive to work. High end rates too high, support at margin seems too generous (CERB)

4) govt services being neglected .. e.g. healthcare. Stuff that remains is bloated ( civil servants getting massive raises relative to others)

I hear from the news, the tax cut being proposed in the uk at least addresses #3 above. I agree that the Econ implications on inflation don’t seem to have been thought through.

Indeed. Also in legal terms.

In the Netherlands, the police can hold your finger to the fingerprint reader on a device they confiscated (might need a court order, or might depend on circumstances if there is an imminent threat to life or something), but they cannot order you to work on your own prosecution in general. Why, then, you can be ordered to put your finger on the pad, I have no idea, but it has been ruled that you cannot be ordered to tell them a password.

Then again, the secret services have been allowed to order giving up passwords since forever.

DevOps used to be elite. Few years of deveoper experience + cloud/containers knowledge to make all things run smoothly.

Nowadays DevOps is also fresh graduate who compiles embedded code for internet-disconnected 16 bit system.

I wish industry would standarise roles and responsibilities for the sake of job seekers and employers alike.
Communication is great, but asynchronous communication is far better than synchronous.

Problems it solves:

- Not having something to hand, or having to look something up: I can take my time and find it, then email/text back

- Being interrupted: I'll get back to you once I'm free

- Dealing with business hours: I can email at 10pm and you can get back to me when you're in work the next day

- Not having a record of communication: I can have an unbroken chain of communication the entire way through that we can both refer back to

The only real negative is less immediacy, but things are rarely needed right now. If we kept phone calls to only things that were necessary right then and there, we'd hardly ever get them.

Also, appeals to authority is "person X says Y, person X has a PhD, therefore Y". There is no "Person X" here. The authority, if there is one, is a mysterious authority possessed by the form of the argument itself. Or, you might say, a "mystical" authority.

Unironically I have to have conversations with people who rant about private school A grades being worth D's because their accomplishments are nothing.

Naturally now they are sending their children to private school, their children are not being handed everthing on a plate and their grades are great accomplishments.

Envy really does destroy the functional parts of the brain where intellectual honesty resides.
The explanation I read used Finding Wally as an example:

I can put a piece of paper with Wally's silhouette cut off in front of the book.
Align Wally to fit into the silhouette and you're done!
The paper just needs to be considerably bigger than the actual book, so other people can tell I know where Wally is without actually knowing his location.

Well no. Regulatory capture typically leads to some self-regulation scenario being proposed.
So:
ensure the regulator is truly independent from the regulated, and make the regulator accountable for outcomes.
You can even have competing regulatory regimes to see what comes out, but usually (and sadly) this gets coupled with geography.

"You have this one area, where only 4% of the people live, and they are the only ones using 70 messed up units, including this 'ounce' that's sometimes a volume sometimes an unrelated mass, and this group makes most of the main software, and showing these units?"

"Yeah"

"So everyone understands these units?"

"Nobody except these 4% understand these units at all"

"So when these people say 'gallon' it means nothing at all?"

"Well, do they say liquid gallon, dry gallon, or food gallon? You know what, no matter which there are actually some people outside the 4% who know the word, but to them it's a fourth amount, so no nobody understands it. And yeah to about the remaining 95% it means nothing"
FGM refers broadly to a multitude of traditions related to modification of female genitalia, not only to that one specific kind. And generally speaking, they're all illegal in the west, even ones where the damage is comparable to male circumcision.

You can compare this, fundamentally and in principle. Both involve the irreversible mutilation of an infant's sexual organs. One might not be quite impactful as another later in life, but on principle they're equally abhorrent in a society that believes in bodily autonomy and values its children.
That's not what was said ...

Some positions require a degree of intelligence, there are many things that can demonstrate levels and types of intelligence.

Some positions demand a certain amount of physical endurance, there are many things that can indicate physical ability.

Some positions demand a level of stability and commitment to time scale, there are many different factors that can indicate that.

Some comments require a certain ability to read qualifiers and nuance in the English language, there are many that breeze right past such things and imagine things unwritten.
Copyright infringement is not theft. You can't "steal" "intellectual property" because there's no such thing, it's a misnomer.

If you learn that a trillion aliens from andromeda were reading your book right now are you horribly upset and graciously harmed by this blatant copyright infringement? What if they instead land and take all the worlds water? Note the difference between the two scenarios?
A CIA doctor talking to a TV doctor on CNN. I'm not buying it.
I do build apps. This is actually taught as best practice to beginners in many classes. A standard design is pulling everything from a Repository pattern, which either points to local data or network as needed.

This kind of architecture is costly, especially combined with TDD and such needing to cover every possibility on every layer. Adding the repository layer with two data sources is basically 3x tests to write. If time is short (and it always is) adding the repo layer doubles the tests to write/maintain for absolutely no gain. Adding it as needed later isn't so bad, but it's just put off forever.

Also, ads don't run if the network is disconnected. Users soon realise that disconnecting is like running ad blockers.

Same with some anti-cheat, e.g. changing the time to move forward in idle games.
Only if they really “stand strongly” and give higher scores to such views and it's not just marketing. If they advertise about social justice, but the admission process is in fact pretty conservatives, this posture will not have a dramatic effect.

But anyway, even if this is true, that doesn't mean that it's the current Elite's views, just likely to be the future Elite's views (assuming that higher education pays a significantly higher role than the set of other Elite's beliefs they'll encounter later in their lives and that they'll mimic too in order to be successful later, since the process you're describing occurs over and over and over in someone's life).

In IT, this mess leaks to places it really shouldn't. I've never permanently lived nor worked in native english place, but the amount of time I've seen somewhere in some web app or work outlook weeks starting on Sundays... its maddening, you easily make mistakes in good faith that can have pretty bad consequences, without realizing them.

I think its airbnb that still shows me calendar starting form Sunday. Not cool when you are looking at all those other sites for flight bookings or car rentals, all of them starting from Monday since they respect your locale, and then you book accommodation by muscle memory (since you re-did the searches numerous times as planning decisions about vacation took place), starting at given field for day of the week, only realizing that its moved by 1 day earlier (or later, not sure now). Good if you find out quickly, bad if on the 'arrival' day and your family have nowhere to sleep and its already dark.

I know that this won't ever be resolved mainly due to big egos of those involved, in same way that there will always be those ridiculous feet and inches and miles and absurd conversions between those, on top of fahrenheit madness. Tells something about maturity of mankind...

Sure, everyone maintains a boundary between the workplace and their private life or inner thoughts. Being adaptable and agreeable will get you somewhat far in the short term. Constantly thinking about your compensation and trying to optimize it by manipulating your employer doesn't sound like a great way to live, though.

Learning how to say no is a very important skill. I think it's even better for compensation to find positions in which you are an inherently good fit to create value, and then negotiate to a level of compensation favorable enough that you don't need to think about it for a while.

Thatcher implemented a windfall tax, LT is not even that. UK residents are paying twice for their energy consumption as a result.

Nose was in the trough 3 days into her premiership when the top treasury official got fired, to make way for these tax cuts. Guess the Conservatives figure they are going to lose the next election...

Okta should simply sync hashes, not plain-text passwords.

Syncing plain-text passwords implies that there's a configurable URL where all plain-text passwords are sent out.

Eek I'm going to go against the grain here a little. That site is useful when you already know what you are looking for. For someone who's just browsing for something interesting to buy it's terrible.

Obviously it's been made for exactly that purpose and does it well but for general e-commerce it's bad. The retailers are looking to send you to an area of their website with "stuff" you are interested in. For example you like toys because you're a parent who's buying your kids stuff for x-mas. The site wants to know that sort of thing and send you to the toys for x-mas section.

What Mcmaster.com looks like to me is an old fashioned mail order company that's converted their old mail order catalogue straight to a website, perfection.

Also note with Bezos tinkering with every pixel on the website is very old news, this doesn't happen anymore.

P.S. I'll eat the downvotes.
Because it's in the interest of the self-perpetuating entity that claims monopoly on violence for us to believe it's using and enforcing it wisely and effctively.

The sad truth is that they just don't care about most of the murders.
I don't think it's that simple.

Human beings evolved while spreading culture, for far, far longer than we have been writing, longer than we have been homo sapiens even. It is a core part of what we are, so understanding it and accepting it and examining it without bias is important.

I'm not entirely convinced that we can preserve information for generations. We can't even preserve web sites for 2 decades, link rot online is a real problem. That's modern technology with solid state drives and worldwide communication. Language evolution makes this problem even worse. We can't even agree on what the founding fathers of the US meant with some parts of the constitution (granted, there are and have been deliberate efforts on that front but there are legitimate questions stil) and that's with the same government still operating under it while it's people still speak the same language! I don't think information propagation across generations is a solved problem now that we have writing and solid state drives, and beyond that tradition is not going away because it's as much a part of who we are as language and fire.
It isn't not-PR just because you wrote it. It's PR because it's disseminating information to the public for the purpose of image management.

The information is that the company thought it could grow more during the pandemic by hiring new people, and "bet" growth would stick around and those people could stay on in the long term. Is that wrong? Well, that's business. (I have absolutely no doubt, of course, that the "bet"-nature of the employment was carefully communicated during hiring.)

The PR is that this business decision is presented as a story of Shopify's brave history of taking on daring bets, its decision to take on another, its defeat at the hands of unflinching (completely external) factors, its kind treatment of employees that there is no option but to let go in these difficult times, and the new, refocused, decisive organization that will be reborn (after some people who joined 6 months ago get laid off).

It's not all bad. 16 weeks severance seems generous to me, letting people keep their chairs is kind of random but nice, the job referral stuff is a nice gesture, etc. I know all the nice things you did! The P was R'd!

It's just, at the end of the day, it's an obviously-business decision that's being told as something else. People got fucked over by a confluence of factors after the higher-ups decided to take a risk. There's no story here. There's no arc of Shopify History. The job of PR, regardless of the letters after the name of whoever writes it, is to make it seem like there is one when bad stuff happens.
Unfortunately, laws ( e.g. on universal health insurance - similar to the EU ) are made by politicians, not doctors, and they too do not have to follow strict moral ethics.

Without hippocratic ethical principles, it could be much worse than it is now.
Not really. It is energy crisis and countries that import fossil fuels are affected. I mean it might trigger the eurozone debt crisis but we are not seeing it yet.
It was a thing before COVID in Tokyo. Don’t know about now. The point I’m trying to make is that this thing NEVER happens in London. Train pushers don’t exist, so even if it’s not an everyday thing in Tokyo anymore I can hardly believe that anyone would say “I prefer the rush hour in Tokyo”, to which my previous post was the response to :)

There's a bit of a joke about mobile dev interviews these days. A company with no experience in mobile dev will ask you if you've ever integrated analytics. A company with a mobile dev team will ask you to write a movie app with pagination and caching. An experienced company will ask about declarative UI and reactive programming.

> Because it does not match at all the one instance of a space-going species

I think conflating "made it to our local moon" as "space-going" might be the problem there when comparing with "made it to a whole other solar system" as "space-going" aliens.

I should imagine that humanity will have to get a whole lot more logical and hyper-rational before we make it out of our solar system in a repeatable way (assuming we survive that far.)
I used to pay £68pm for this ticket https://legacy.wmnetwork.co.uk/tickets/#/ticket/109

It's now £80 but that's unlimited train travel around Birmingham and surrounding areas (to Wolverhampton or Coventry)

That was costing me like £3 a day for my travels for one train to Birmingham and back.

It can be quite affordable.
It can cache the data and upload whenever there is a connection.
Knowing that I'm watching YouTube is one thing, knowing what YouTube video I'm watching is a completely different problem.

Edit also: even with DNS over HTTPS, a lot of the Internet uses SNI for TLS, so anyone snooping can anyway see what hostname you're visiting (not to mention, IPs are not significantly more private than host names, and those will always be public unless you're using ToR or something similar).
You are both unprofessional and violating the law by discriminating against people based on legally protected parameters, like having children or not. Furthermore you're posting this on HN like an absolute fool. This is great evidence for people that claim discrimination is real in the tech industry.
Ask HN: For a job in tech, are you only interested in remote only jobs?
It doesn't matter which role, I mean any job that could be done with internet connection and a laptop.
I read an article during the weekend that 1/3 of applicants are not willing to work in an office and that are not interested in any non remote positions, even if the salary is good.

I know there is a trend of remote work because I am building a job boards aggregator and by far the most selected filter is [Remote Jobs]

But so many folks declining non remote jobs was a bit surprising.

What do you think?
Seems to be AMD cards, which has way less support in the ecosystem.
I think what author describes and attributes to "everyone" is a trait of character. Yes, a common one, but not universal. From my own experience to that of (some of) my friends I can say with certainty people do change their minds.
This binary view is nonsense. It is more correct to say China is a threat because that can be given a scale. To say they are not a threat is to eliminate any possibility of threat. China are a threat greater than zero and less than one. A reasonable conversation can only be possible by assigning a value in that range.
You certainly can't just order those at an arbitrary station, and I think that ticket might actually have been abolished entirely.
