I did qualify my statement with "in the past." I was pointing out that Java did, in fact, have a lot of annoying knobs to turn. tbrock was advocating against having such knobs as they make deploying a language diffcult. The fact that Java removed one of the annoying knobs doesn't disprove the fact that having such knobs is annoying.
An "unsolvable and grave question" doesn't have to be philosophical. "I'm unhappy with my life and I feel trapped by my responsibility to my family, and I wish I could fall asleep and wake up in a different life" is quite tricky, and I doubt anyone would say such a person is in a "cushy spot".

Had similar experience with our Commodore 128 (even had a spiral-bound brick of a manual too). Between that and just the old LIST command, I was able to poke around in loads of games and programs and see how they worked (or, say, give myself a million gold in Telengard).

I did grasp GOSUB fairly easily but I never understood why I could load some programs from disk, but when I typed LIST, I would just see a single line with SYS (and a number). Didn't realize until later that this was just a way to call machine language code that had been loaded directly into memory.

How the hell was I supposed to learn from that??
> If garbage is flooding the market, it forces employers to pay higher wages for a chance to actually get something good.

I don't think garbage in any market drives up the prices for anything.

Those looking for something good just waste more time looking, and some of them give up and settle for garbage.

Exclusivity drives up prices. If you're the sole supplier of something badly needed, you can charge a lot for it. If a second supplier shows up, but with garbage, you're likely not going to be able to charge even more.
I wonder how this affects the ability to differentiate colors or objects, a not unimportant skill in games. If it just desaturates or tightens the color range, it seems like certain things would stop being differentiable.

Said another way, even if the color transition is imperceptible, it might have noticeable effects.

A more complex approach might need to keep higher fidelity color around the edge of objects or some such thing.
There is some effort to standardize something along these lines. Well, some things which combined would achieve this. It’s too late to bake it into ESM, but I believe it’ll be possible with ShadowRealms[1] and/or SES[2], and Built-in Modules (JS STL)[3].

My Favorite Advice for Young People from Lex Fridman Guests
Lex Fridman usually asks his guests about their advice for young people. It's one of my favorite aspects of the show. So at some point I decided to collect those sections from the podcast as "snips". I recently went back to them and while doing so, selected my favorite ones. From guests like Elon Musk, Yann LeCun, Demis Hassabis, etc.
I hope it's as valuable to you as it has been to me :)

> Mainframe computing had obviously been around for a while before that, but the general public would not have been aware of it.

Nonsense. Of course the general public knew of computers. When I was 14, in 1969, we had a high school computer club. We used the terminal room at the local college to connect to a Leasco mainframe in London. I still have the Basic reference card somewhere.

The LEO1 was in use in 1951 to perform calculation for baking in factories and stock control.

At my local Home Depot the router bits are displayed on peg hooks with these little red plastic anti-theft dinguses securing them. I guess it's called a "peg hook lock".

Inside this device there is a spring-loaded (I think) plunger that locks it in the closed position, preventing the device and anything behind it from being removed from the hook. The "key" is really just a magnet, which when applied to the bottom of the plastic housing, pulls on that hidden internal plunger to unlock the device.

One evening, after searching to no avail for an employee to help, I went to the furniture hardware aisle where they sell small magnets that you could use for drawers and the like. Borrowed one, still in its plastic clamshell packaging, and used it to remove the peg hook lock and retrieve the router bit I wanted. Then I returned the peg hook lock to its locked position, returned the magnet to its aisle, and purchased the bit feeling rather proud of myself for solving this puzzle game.

> To be fair, legitimate candidates might try to beat keyword screens.

IMO, this technique has been exaggerated to the point of being counterproductive.

As soon as the interviewer discovers that some claimed experience on the resume was a lie, they can't trust the rest of the resume. The interviews get harder and the interviewer starts looking deeper for other inconsistencies or outright lies.

Often, discovering outright lies on someone's resume is sufficient to drop them out of the hiring pipeline completely.

Spamming keywords that you don't actually know might get you into flawed companies that don't know how to screen or interview candidates, but those generally aren't good places to work.
Chesscom is known for being a little extra responsive to abuse reports from the players that it sponsors, which has raised some eyebrows. Their neutrality is a question.

Still people literally know the chesscom cheating team. IM Danny Rensch is the face. I would say there is a fair amount of respect for that team within the community, as well as a healthy scepticism. If anything they probably get more criticism for ignoring cheating than for taking action.

It’s a tough gig, chess cheating is very hard to prove.
I wonder how widespread this really is?

If it's reasonably common, there might be a place for a "reputation protection" service in the tech community - a service that watches various contracting and hiring sites for its members names, then notifies the real person when their name is used.

I could see it being a real issue in the future if someone's professional reputation is tarnished this way. If a prospective employer searched for a candidate and found multiple profiles with very different skills listed, that would be a huge red flag. Worse, if the fraudulent person was hired and then fired, that information could find its way to places where the real person is applying.

If they were able to successfully land a job like this, I could also see that messing with the real person's tax situation.

I don't think this article is complete. It mentions no pollution, which is true of window and most HTML elements, but not always. Check this out, you can set an img name to getElementById and now document.getElementById is the image element!

Here's a minimal example (https://jsfiddle.net/wc5dn9x2/):

<img id="asdf" name="getElementById" />
<script>
// The img object
console.log(document.getElementById);

// TypeError: document.getElementById is not a function :D
console.log(document.getElementById('asdf'));
</script>

> In 1940 the famous logician Kurt Gödel proved that, under the commonly accepted rules of set theory, it’s impossible to prove that an infinity exists between that of the natural numbers and that of the reals. That might seem like a big step toward proving that the continuum hypothesis is true, but two decades later the mathematician Paul Cohen proved that it’s impossible to prove that such an infinity doesn’t exist! It turns out the continuum hypothesis can’t be proved one way or the other.

This, to me, is the exciting bit of the whole article.

There are questions that cannot be answered definitively. There is no way to say that it's true or false. Not simply that we haven't figured it out yet, but that no one, no matter how clever, will ever be able to prove the answer one way or another. If we meet an extraterrestrial alien civilization that is a million years of math theory ahead of us, they will not have an answer.
Also, in countries we consider corrupt, its often done the same way.

Slight tangent maybe, on the topic of Bourdain. I watched a lesser known show he did in 2017, "Return to Catalunya". I almost felt like I watching his suicide note. His commentary was personal and a bit dark. Interesting to hear what was going on in his head though.
For what it's worth, I agree with you. The trouble seems to be that society doesn't really have a better alternative at this point. Discord has become the institution of our generation, at least for teens and 20-somethings. In past generations, it was church.

Church has been on my mind a lot. Religion is a tricky topic to bring up publicly, but regardless of how you feel about it, it's true that having a shared community context every Sunday is something that's hard to find a replacement for. After all, priests were the OG therapists. And after each session you felt like you made some progress, or at least that you got your sins off your back for a bit.

Regardless, religion of old is more or less gone, and it's not coming back. If there's an alternative, I imagine it might become pretty popular. But the digital age is moving us further apart; http://www.paulgraham.com/re.html seems even more prescient after covid moved us away from offices too.
Not understanding or having experience with something is not the same as it lacking validity and merit.

Without understanding the problems and ways police harm communities, throwing data at a problem is unlikely to result in good outcomes. Through the lens of “crime” harm is hard to separate from illegality. Driving with expired plates because you can’t afford it until next month is illegal, but it isn't causing the same amount of harm as burying that person under court fees and fines until they’re homeless. Unless you collect the right data, understand the data's meaning, data is useless.

The difference is whether or not you're on the open plains leading to Moscow. The eastern edge of the Carpathian Mountains has always been a hard line for Russia, going back to the middle ages, because once the plain to Moscow opens up, it's nearly indefensible. That edge is in eastern Ukraine.

No matter how close any two distinct rational numbers are to each other, there will always be infinitely many rational numbers in between. But the cardinality of rational numbers and natural numbers is the same.
I agree with you, allowing managers and recruiters to use contrived requirements creates perverse incentives. That said, while it may contribute to an uptick people have been doing this for a long time. I think they're both problems, and I don't think one is causal of the other. If a person lies on a resume to match a search engine that's one thing. If a person is coaching others on how to lie, conceal, and deceive then that's another.

I've been back-and-forth in my Forth systems along the years on this topic.

Just having a built-in code editor (like the traditional "block editor" - or at least it was traditional in the last century) has some advantages - for instance if your editor commands are written in Forth you can use Forth as the scripting language for the editor, and create macros etc. on the spot just like you would with code editors such as Emacs or Vim.

It does have the disadvantages OP mentions.

You say, "you add the tools to the IDE"... Except some tools are too complex to code and test and you have too little time. In the end, you'll have to wait until someone else does it for you and if you are using niche software such as this one, you can wait a long time. Why wait for someone finally making a "diff" tool when it already exists for text files?

Database corruption is not something you can brush aside like this, because it can happen that a bug in your Forth system corrupts your database (or your image or your blockfile). When you make a critical change, you therefore have to make a backup of your system first. (As for AST, this is mostly irrelevant in Forth, which has almost no syntax).

These days I agree with OP. For better or worse, text files are the lowest common denominator, so text files have more advantages.

Generally speaking, this the same dilemma as with software that does a lot of things (for instance GitHub/Gitlab/Gitea, that are not just Git anymore). True, you benefit from the integration sometimes, but there's usually a couple of features that are weaker or done poorly. Functionality overlap with other software that go a bit overboard with feature integration. You can easily end up with two or three different wikis in each software. In the end, you either tell users to use just one of them, or you let them spread the information in the various wiki and let them blame each other because of the mess it creates.

The topic of "why are we still using flat files for source" is not exactly new. Code editors have evolved but clearly not in this direction - "language servers" were favored for instance. I think there is some kind of consensus that a language should not depend on an IDE. "Do one thing and do it well" is already hard enough.
LD_PRELOAD is calling. There are advantages and disadvantages to this approach: shipping one single binary means that you don't have to worry about testing compatibility between versions of your microservices/libraries. We went through this with dynamic/static linking a long time ago. Static linking seems to have generally won.
Most government issued ID's have a date of birth on it. By law, employers cannot ask for DOB prior to making a hiring decision, as age discrimination is illegal and something the employer can be sued for.

Not to say this would not work, but candidates would need to black out/ cover up information the employer cannot view.

In college, I was diagnosed with Aspberger's. Later, after seeing a student therapist few a years, the therapist and their supervisor (and actual psychologist) didn't think I do. It made me wonder if the original diagnosis was the lazy, obvious one, and something else is going on.

I wasn't a "golden child," but growing up, the thing adults praised me for was my intelligence. Not being in a good school district, I skipped a grade. Thinking about the different opinions of the therapists, I wonder if my emotional immaturity relative to my peers, always being eager to show off my intelligence, and disadvantage at sports isolated me from my peers, hurting my social development.
Very much agree on keyword scanning — all of our resume review for us is done by the recruiting team and hiring managers. If candidates take the time to thoughtfully apply, I believe we should be making reciprocal efforts to review in kind.

These resumes however are all identical to one another. It's a different situation, but that notwithstanding— we still do review all these and your sentiment very much aligns with my own.
Yes you see... you don't pay the official. You pay his good friend, who talks to the official. The good friend benefits handsomely from the wage you pay to talk. Of course the fact that the good friend is the interface to the official, and that you need money to pay the good friend, that the official himself benefits handsomely in social capital from his good friends being paid this way, and that without the good friend talking you are utterly fucked : well that's all totally not bribery.

Basically Pachinko but for bribery.

We're not saying that this was ecoterrorism. We're just pointing out that "it's bad for the environment" isn't an argument wherever this was done by eco terrorists.

It remains unlikely, mainly for the original point given. Regardless wherever it's bad for the environment or not, they would've claimed responsibility by now.

Ok, what if NATO collectively (or at least the affected members) decided to destroy the pipeline in a show of resolution?

Let's say secret negotiations are ongoing (it would be surprising if they weren't) with Russia regarding a winter ceasefire. Russia annexes the occupied regions to force the hand and be in a better position, then offers gas in exchange of no NATO military help during the ceasefire.

NATO rejects the offer and blows the pipeline to show it is off the table.
> Yeah car dealer arson, allrighty. Did you notice that two deep sea major pipelines have been blown up recently? Do you think that compares?

>Yeah right, you see the difference between chain store arson and blowing a deep-sea pipeline now that I'm pointing it to you?

The reasonable conclusion to draw from that would be "this pipeline explosion wasn't caused by eco-terrorists because eco-terrorists aren't radical enough to bomb gas pipelines", not "it wasn't caused by eco-terrorists can only be funded by public donations and they don't want to piss off their donor base".

>Do you intend to mean that such grassroots orgs would not need PR nor donations?

1. Al-Qaeda has PR (think grainy videos, not slick NY PR firm) and received donations[1], but I wouldn't characterize them as the same type of organization as greenpeace or whatever.

2. during ELF's existence, do you think they operated like a regular charity?

>Then no because grassroots organisations that would not raise donations do not have enough funds to blow a deepsea pipeline.

The wikipedia article also mentions someone being able to procure a RPG-7 from some sort of terrorist organization to launch at a nuclear power plant. Given that it doesn't seem too implausible that a group can acquire a boat and some depth charges without having to run a nationwide fundraising campaign.

Our small tech shop has been using Workers since Jan 2020. Leaving behind the monstrous and intimidating world of AWS, I simply couldn't contain my excitement, even back then. In the words of Eminem, Ease over these beats and be so breezy; Jesus, how can shit be so easy?!

It is almost comical (or diabolical, depending) that none of the Big3 have bothered competing with them. It is only the upstarts like Bun, Deno, SecondState, Kalix (Lightbend) and others that are keeping Cloudflare honest.
